ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On May 30, 1998, the registrant, HORIZON Pharmacies, Inc. ("Registrant"),
acquired substantially all of the assets of Graham Pharmacy and Home Health
Center, Inc. d/b/a Graham Pharmacy and El Pueblo Medical Supply, a New Mexico
corporation (the "Store"), comprising primarily pharmacy files, equipment,
inventory and supplies.  The Registrant acquired the assets through arm's-length
negotiations with J. Chris Gallegos, the Company's sole shareholder.

     Prior to this transaction, no material relationships existed between the
Store 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: (i) $450,000 cash
payable at closing; (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $500,392.50 payable
over 60 months in equal monthly installments and bearing interest at 8% per
annum; and (iii) 8,382 shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $.01
per share.

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