ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On August 30, 1997, the registrant, HORIZON Pharmacies, Inc.
("Registrant"), acquired substantially  all of the assets of McCosh Drug, Inc. 
("McCosh Drug") comprising primarily pharmacy files, equipment, inventory and
supplies.  The Registrant acquired the assets through arm's-length negotiations
with McCosh Drug and its sole shareholder, Donald McCosh.

     Prior to this transaction, no material relationships existed between McCosh
Drug and the Registrant or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the
Registrant, or any associate of such director or officer.

     The consideration for the acquisition consisted of $250,000 cash  and a
promissory note in the amount of $621,418.02 payable over 84 months in equal
monthly installments bearing interest at 9% per annum.  The cash portion of the
purchase price was derived from proceeds of the Registrant's initial public
offering which closed July 11, 1997.  

     The Registrant intends to continue McCosh Drug's retail pharmacy operations
under the HORIZON Pharmacies, Inc. name.  In connection therewith, the
Registrant has secured a real estate lease covering McCosh Drug's current retail
location and has secured a valid Nebraska license to do business at that
location under the HORIZON Pharmacies, Inc. name.

         in paragraph 2 of which  up to $ 50,000.00 is allocated to this

         of six (6) years after the date of closing hereunder will not, 
         directly or indirectly, through a subsidiary, joint venture 
         arrangement or otherwise, conduct or assist another party other 
         than the Buyer in conducting or managing any operation which has as 
         its purpose what is generally known as a retail pharmacy, or 
         Nursing Home or IV operation or DME operation within the city 
         limits of GERING, NE or have any equity investment in such 
         operation. This non-compete entitles DON MCCOSH to perform work as 
         employee of HORIZON Pharmacies, Inc. Furthermore, This non-compete 
         clause does not prohibit DON MCCOSH from performing duties such 
         as relief pharmacist at other pharmacies for up to one (1) day per 
         week.  The parties hereby recognize and acknowledge that the 
         territorial and time limitations contained in this paragraph are 
         reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the 
         business to be conducted by Buyer with the assets and properties to 
         be transferred hereunder and cannot be changed except by written 
         permission of Buyer.
         
    13.2 The parties recognize that, in the event of a breach by 
         Seller of any of the provisions of this paragraph, the remedy of 
         law alone would be inadequate and, accordingly, Buyer, (in addition 
         to damages), shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Seller 
         from violating the covenants herein contained.
         
    13.3 It is the intention of the Seller and the Buyer that the 
         execution of these covenants not to compete be considered as 
         materially significant and essential to the closing of this 
         Agreement, and that such covenants are a material portion of the 
         purchase price set forth herein above.
                        
14. DEFAULT.

    14.1 In the event of default by the Buyer in the performance of 
         any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller may,

         default hereunder, declare the unpaid portion of the purchase

         payable, and thereupon, the Seller may proceed to collect from the

           agreement, covenant, or warranty in this Agreement.  Buyer shall 
           further indemnify  Seller against any claim or losses resulting 
           from Buyer's breach of or failure to perform, after the closing 
           date, any duty or obligation of Seller under any contract, 
           lease, loan agreement, or other agreement to which Seller is a 
           party or by which Seller is otherwise bound at the closing date, 
           but only to the extent that Buyer expressly assumes such duties 
           or obligations hereunder.

           possession of the property and dispose of the same as Seller may 
           see fit and proper, the Buyer waiving any right of action arising 
           out of such entry and seizure of the property, together with 
           reasonable attorney's fees, expenses, and costs which Seller may 
           incur incidental to the enforcement of his rights under this 
           Agreement.
           
     14.4  In the event of a default or breach of any of the provisions of 
           this Agreement, the Seller may, at its option, in addition to 
           the above terminate the lease of the building by between Donald

           the employment agreement between Horizon Pharmacies, Inc., and 
           Donald McCosh.  In the event of a default by the Buyer in the 
           performance of any of the terms and conditions of this 
           Agreement, the covenant not to compete between Horizon 
           Pharmacies, Inc., and Donald McCosh and McCosh Drug will become, 
           at Seller's option, completely voided.
               
15.  ASSIGNMENT/TRANSFER OF BUYER'S RIGHTS.

     15.1  Buyer's interest in this Agreement shall not be sold, assigned, 
           pledged, mortgaged, encumbered, or transferred by Buyer without 
           the written consent of Seller. In the event of an assignment of

           adjudicated bankrupt, this Agreement and all of the Buyer's 
           rights hereunder shall automatically terminate without any 
           further act by either party hereto.
