     (a)  On May 17, 2000, Boron, LePore & Associates, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Registrant"), purchased substantially all the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Consumer2Patient, Inc., a North Carolina
corporation ("C2P"), Physician2Physician, LLC, a North Carolina limited
liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of C2P ("P2P") and Alternative
Media Solutions, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company and wholly-
owned subsidiary of C2P ("Media"), used by C2P, P2P and Media in their
continuing promotional and educational services in the medical industry. The
purchase was consummated by C2P Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("C2P Acquisition"). The Registrant
currently intends to use the assets to carry on substantially the same business
as was conducted by C2P, P2P and Media. The acquisition was made pursuant to the
terms and conditions of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 4, 2000 (the
"Purchase Agreement") by and among the Registrant, C2P Acquisition, C2P, P2P,
Media and the sole stockholder of C2P.

     Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and in consideration of the purchased
assets, the Registrant paid $2.0 million in cash and assumed certain liabilities
of C2P, P2P and Media. In addition, the Registrant may be required to pay up to
$2.0 million in contingent cash payments based on certain operating goals of the
acquired business during the twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition
date. This consideration was determined in arms-length negotiations among the
parties to the Purchase Agreement.
