ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On July 31, 1998, the registrant, HORIZON Pharmacies, Inc. ("Registrant"),
acquired substantially all of the assets of CCB Consulting, Inc. (d/b/a Barr 
Pharmacy, Blair Medical Supply and Barr Long Term Care Pharmacy), a Nebraska 
corporation (the "Store"), comprising primarily pharmacy files, equipment, 
inventory and supplies.  The Registrant acquired the assets through 
arm's-length negotiations with Charles C. Barr, the store'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) $300,000 cash
payable at closing; (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $130,000 payable
over 24 months in equal monthly installments and bearing interest at 8 1/2 % per
annum; and (iii) 12,682 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 Nebraska license to do business at that location under the
HORIZON Pharmacies, Inc. name. 

ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

     (a)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED.

          It is impracticable at this time to provide the required financial

                         and Buyer shall pay all personal property taxes
                         attributable to the Drug Store Assets for the period

                         on the Drug Store Assets for the current calendar year,
                         and Seller's pro rata portion of such estimated taxes
                         shall be withheld by Buyer from the purchase price

               attributed to inventory under Section 2, above, the
               marketable inventory shall be valued as follows, except as
               otherwise provided herein:

                         complied with the Securities Act and all applicable
                         regulations thereunder, or Seller has received an

                         or other disposition of the HORIZON Common Stock will
