         THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS
AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM
THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN
FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH UNDER "RISK FACTORS" AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS

IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THE PROSPECTUS AND PARTICULARLY IN THE SECTION ENTITLED
"RISK FACTORS."


                                   THE COMPANY


1997 CORP.

         1997 Corp. was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on
March 17, 1997. 1997 Corp. was formed to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger,
exchange of capital stock or other business combination (a "Business
Combination") with an operating business (a "Target Business"). The business
objective of 1997 Corp. is to effect a Business Combination with a Target
Business which 1997 Corp. believes has significant growth potential. 1997 Corp.
is a development stage company with no operating history and has not engaged in
any business activities, other than to seek out and investigate other business
for a potential Businesses Combination.


         On June 16, 1997, 1997 Corp. commenced a "blank check" offering
pursuant to Rule 419 ("Rule 419") promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. The public offering (the "Offering") generated $150,000 in net
proceeds by the sale of 30,000 shares of 1997 Corp. $.001 par value common stock
(the "Common Stock") to 131 public investors in the Offering (the "Public
Investors"). Pursuant to Rule 419, the net proceeds from the Offering of
$150,000 (the offering expenses were paid from the funds provided by the
purchase of the 15,000 restricted shares of Common Stock) (the "Deposited
Funds"), the 30,000 Shares purchased by the Public Investors (collectively the
"Deposited Shares") are being held in escrow (the "Rule 419 Escrow") until:

         1. 1997 Corp. has executed an agreement for the acquisition of a Target
Business for which the fair value of the Target Business, as determined by 1997
Corp. based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community
including revenues, earnings, cash flow and book value ("Fair Market Value"),
represents at least 80% of the maximum Offering Proceeds ($120,000) and has
filed post-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form SB-2
required by Rule 419 (the "Post-Effective Amendment") making a reconfirmation
offer to the Public Investors;

         2. The Post-Effective Amendment has been declared effective and at
least 80% of the non-affiliated Public Investors have reconfirmed their
investment; and

         3. The acquisition of a Target Business with a Fair Market Value of at
least 80% of the maximum offering proceeds ($120,000) has been approved by 51%
of the shares of Common Stock purchased in the Offering and has been
consummated.

                                       3

<PAGE>

         In furtherance of satisfying the conditions to release the Deposited
Funds and the Deposited Shares from the Rule 419 Escrow, 1997 Corp. has entered
into a Merger Agreement (as defined herein) with CyBear, Inc., a Florida
corporation, and has filed a Post-Effective Amendment, of which this Prospectus
is a part, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which became
effective as of the date of this Prospectus.

         The purpose of this Prospectus is to provide the Public Investors with
information regarding the Merger Agreement so they may decide if they wish to
reconfirm their investments in shares of 1997 Corp.

         1997 Corp.'s principal executive offices are located at the offices of
its President, Judith S. Haselton, 315 West 106th Street, 4th Floor, New York,
New York 10025. Its telephone number is (212) 678-6231.


CYBEAR

         CyBear, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Florida by
Anda Generics, Inc. ("Anda"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Andrx Corporation, a
Florida corporation (including Anda and its other affiliates, "Andrx"), as a
healthcare communications technology company to develop technology and products
to address the growing communication and information problems within the
Healthcare Community (as defined below).

         The Company believes that most sectors of the healthcare industry have
generally failed to adequately invest the resources to upgrade their information
systems to support the requirements of the explosive growth of managed care.
Many parts of the healthcare industry are still reliant on the communication
structure necessary to support the information requirements of the vanishing
fee-for-service model. That system was functional for billing and reimbursement
but has little application for the requirements of managed care.

         Physician Practice Management companies ("PPMs"), Managed Service
Organizations ("MSOs"), Managed Care Organizations ("MCOs"), physicians,
pharmacies, hospitals, auxiliary service providers and related others
(collectively, the "Healthcare Community" or the "Healthcare Delivery System"),
all of whom are attempting to both reduce the costs of healthcare and improve
the provision of healthcare, require greater and more timely information to
achieve these objectives. Currently, the many components of the Healthcare
Delivery System operate independently with limited ability to communicate the
information they have obtained or produced to the other components within the
system. While each component is computerized, limited progress has been made
towards connecting the healthcare components together so that they can
communicate with each other in a convenient, secure and effective manner
("Universal Connectivity"). With Universal Connectivity, PPMs, MCOs and
physician organizations (collectively, "Providers") will be able to communicate
with their contracted physician or provider networks so that they can collect
patient information at the point of care, track physician activities and
patterns, identify trends and issues that affect the critical components of
managed care -- such as quality, cost, outcomes, variability and patient
satisfaction -- intervene at the point of care in order to facilitate
prospective utilization review, and assist their member physicians with real
time clinical solutions.

                                       4

<PAGE>


         The CyBear system has been designed to satisfy managed care's demand
for a cost effective solution to the communication and information system
dilemma. CyBear is developing a software product to bridge the communication
chasm between and among Providers and insurance companies, governmental programs
and other third parties responsible for the payment of healthcare expenses
("Payors") within the managed care chain. The CyBear system is intended to
provide on-line real time communication among MCOs, physicians, pharmacies,
labs, hospitals and other healthcare providers, an objective within healthcare
for more than a decade. The attainment of that objective is anticipated to
provide operating efficiencies, overhead reductions, cost relief and improved
patient care for each of the interrelated Providers and Payors. The CyBear
system capitalizes on the development and emergence of Internet technologies to
merge disparate computer platforms. It employs the power of Universal
Connectivity to create a "virtual private network" to electronically link all
network routers efficiently and effectively.

         CyBear will enable healthcare providers to communicate with one another
through the Internet and secured intranets. This will be accomplished by the
marketing of a healthcare Internet Service Provider ("ISP"), called CyBearNet.
CyBearNet is designed to provide the platform for connectivity and broadcast
communications, while providing a one-stop location on the Internet for the
healthcare community to locate news and information essential to today's
healthcare environment. CyBearNet is also expected to provide a broad base for
the marketing of CyBear's software applications.

         CyBear(R) is a registered trademark of the Company.

SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF MERGER

         This Prospectus, filed as part of the Post-Effective Amendment required
by Rule 419, relates to an agreement for 1997 Corp. to acquire (the "Merger")
from the current stockholders of CyBear, all of the outstanding capital stock of
CyBear. The terms of the Merger are set forth in the Merger and Plan of
Reorganization Agreement dated as of July 15, 1998 among CyBear, Andrx and
CyBear Capital Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of 1997 Corp. ( "Mergerco") (the
"Merger Agreement").

         The Merger Agreement sets forth an agreement by 1997 Corp. to acquire
from the current stockholders of CyBear (the "Acquisition Offer") all of the
outstanding capital stock of CyBear by means of a statutory merger of Mergerco
into CyBear. Consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things,
the confirmation of the investment by holders of at least 80% of the shares
owned by the non-affiliated Public Investors of 1997 Corp. in the Common Stock
of 1997 Corp., and the approval of the Merger by 51% of the shares of Common
Stock purchased in the Offering. Upon consummation of the Merger, (i) CyBear
will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of 1997 Corp.; and (ii) each stockholder
of 1997 Corp. who rejects or fails to accept the Acquisition Offer will be paid
his or her pro rata share of the Deposited Funds in the Rule 419 Escrow for the
benefit of the Public Investors, or approximately $5.20 per share.

         The result of the Merger, assuming that all of the 1997 Corp.
stockholders accept the Acquisition Offer, is that the holders of CyBear's
Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger will own 98% of
1997 Corp.'s Common Stock following the consummation of the Merger and the
current 1997 Corp. stockholders will

                                       5

<PAGE>

own 2% of 1997 Corp.'s Common Stock. It is expected that the business of CyBear
will continue after the Merger and that, except as is hereafter reflected, the
directors and officers of CyBear will continue to be the directors and officers
of CyBear after the Merger.

         In the event approval of the Merger is not obtained from at least 80%
of the Public Investors, then the Deposited Shares in the Rule 419 Escrow will
not be released to the Public Investors.

         Pursuant to Rule 419, the value of CyBear or the assets of CyBear must
represent at least 80% of the maximum Offering proceeds or $120,000. The Board
of Directors of 1997 Corp. has determined that the fair value of CyBear exceeds
$120,000.


RECONFIRMATION OFFERING

         The Public Investors have the opportunity to confirm or disaffirm their
investment in 1997 Corp. pursuant to the following conditions as required by
Rule 419:

         1. Each Public Investor whose securities are held in the Rule 419
Escrow shall receive a copy of this Prospectus within five business days of the
effective date of this Prospectus;


         2. Each Public Investor will have no fewer than 20 business days from
the effective date of this Prospectus to notify 1997 Corp. in writing that the
Public Investor elects to remain an investor;


         3. If 1997 Corp. does not receive written notification from any
investor within 45 business days following the effective date of this
Prospectus, the pro-rata portion of the Deposited Funds (and any related
interest or dividends) held in the Rule 419 Escrow on such Public Investor's
behalf will be returned to the Public Investor within five business days by
first class mail or other equally prompt means;


         4. The Merger will be consummated only if a minimum number of Public
Investors representing 80% of the maximum Offering proceeds ($120,000) elect to
reconfirm their investments;


         5. If the Merger has not occurred by October 24, 1998, the Deposited
Funds held in the Rule 419 Escrow shall be returned to all of the Public
Investors on a pro-rata basis within five business days by first class mail or
other equally prompt means; and


         6. Public Investors who receive their pro-rata portion of the Deposited
Funds will also receive their pro-rata portion of their accrued dividends and
interest. Public Investors who elect to remain investors will not receive any
interest when their pro-rata portion of the Deposited Funds is released to 1997
Corp.

APPROVALS OF THE MERGER

         1997 CORP. The Merger Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors
of 1997 Corp. as of July 20, 1998. The 1997 Corp. Board of Directors believes
that the

                                       6

<PAGE>

shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement represent
an investment opportunity for 1997 Corp.'s shareholders and recommend that the
Public Investors elect to accept the Merger Agreement.

CYBEAR 

         The Merger Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors and the
shareholders of CyBear common stock by written consent dated as of July 20,
1998.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

         The Merger will be accounted for by 1997 Corp. as a purchase in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

DISSENTERS' RIGHTS

         1997 Corp. stockholders will not have any dissenters' rights with
respect to the Merger.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

         In management's opinion, the Merger is intended to qualify as a
"tax-free reorganization" for purposes of the United States federal income tax
so that stockholders of 1997 Corp. subject to United States tax will not
recognize gain or loss from the transaction. In addition, the transaction is not
intended to result in the recognition of gain or loss to either CyBear or 1997
Corp. in the respective jurisdictions where each of them is subject to taxation.
NEITHER AN OPINION OF COUNSEL NOR A RULING FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS
BEEN OBTAINED IN REFERENCE TO THE FOREGOING. THE FOREGOING IS FOR GENERAL
INFORMATION ONLY AND 1997 CORP. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX
ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO THEM.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A
HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK
FACTORS BEFORE DECIDING TO APPROVE THE MERGER AGREEMENT DESCRIBED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS.


1997 CORP.

         NO OPERATING HISTORY; LIMITED RESOURCES; NO PRESENT SOURCE OF REVENUES

         1997 Corp., incorporated on March 17, 1997, is a development stage
company. Although certain of 1997 Corp.'s directors and its executive officers
have had extensive experience relating to the identification, evaluation and
acquisition of Target Businesses, 1997 Corp. has no operating history and,
accordingly, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate 1997 Corp.'s
prospects for achieving its intended business objectives. None of 1997 Corp.'s
officers, directors, promoters or other persons engaged in management-type
activities, has been previously involved with any blank check offerings. Prior
to the proposed Merger, 1997 Corp.'s efforts had been limited to organizational
activities and the Offering. 1997 Corp. has limited resources and has had no
revenues to date. In addition, 1997 Corp. will not achieve any revenues except
for interest income and dividends on the Deposited Funds (other than investment
income) until, at the earliest, the consummation of a Business Combination.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that any Target Business, at the time of
1997 Corp.'s consummation of a Business Combination, or at any time thereafter,
will derive any material revenues from its operations or operate on a profitable
basis.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

         Management may, but does not presently intend to, negotiate or
otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their shares in connection
with a Business Combination. Given that management paid between $1.00 and $2.00
for their shares and the Public Investors paid $5.00 per share, there will be an
inherent conflict of interest, as management may have an interest in undertaking
a Business Combination which provides a good return on their investment, but
does not provide the same return to the Public Investors. Should an investor
believe that management has breached its fiduciary duty to 1997 Corp. and its
shareholders, pursuit of a claim for such breach of fiduciary duty by investors
is likely to be prohibitively expensive. While management does not intend to
take any fees or other compensation from 1997 Corp. (but only to obtain their
investment return through appreciation in the common stock), there is no
assurance that 1997 Corp. will not pay fees to firms or individuals with whom
management has relationships. However, it is expected that the law firm of
Epstein Becker & Green, P.C. will represent 1997 Corp. in connection with a
Business Combination. Richard Campbell is special counsel to Epstein Becker &
Green, P.C. and has agreed with the firm that he will receive no fees in
connection with such representation. Management has a substantial number of
relationships in the business community and considers it likely that they will
draw on these relationships and pay reasonable fees to parties involved in a
concluded Business Combination. The form or amount of these fees or other
consideration cannot be determined at this time. 1997 Corp. will not undertake
Business Combinations with entities owned or controlled by affiliates or
associates of 1997 Corp. or engage in the creation of subsidiary entities with a
view to distributing their securities

                                       10

<PAGE>

to the shareholders of 1997 Corp. In order to mitigate against the possibility
that management may undertake transactions with undue consideration of their own
interests, 1997 Corp. has established a requirement that 51% of the shares of
Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Offering must approve any Business
Combination, including the terms of management's involvement and consideration,
if any. Management does not intend to accept a premium for their shares above
the amount paid to the public.


SEEKING TO ACHIEVE PUBLIC TRADING MARKET THROUGH BUSINESS COMBINATION

         While a prospective Target Business may deem a consummation of a
Business Combination with 1997 Corp. desirable for various reasons, a Business
Combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger or consolidation with, a
company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to
establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding what it may
deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself,
including time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control, the time and
expense incurred to comply and compliance with various Federal and state
securities laws that regulate initial public offerings. Such Federal and state
regulations have been adopted for the protection of investors generally, and
Public Investors in the Offering will not be so protected. Nonetheless, there
can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for 1997 Corp.'s
securities following the completion of a Business Combination or, if a market
does develop, as to the market price for 1997 Corp.'s securities. There are no
plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person with regard to
the development of a trading market in any of 1997 Corp.'s securities.
Consequently, Public Investors seeking to sell their shares of Common Stock
following the conclusion of a Business Combination may not be able to do so.


CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

         After consummation of the Business Combination, the current
shareholders of 1997 Corp. will control the vote of approximately 2% of 1997
Corp.'s outstanding Common Shares. The shareholders of CyBear will control 98%
of 1997 Corp.'s common stock. As a result, the former holders of CyBear will
have the ability to control the outcome of substantially all issues submitted to
1997 Corp.'s shareholders. See "Principal Shareholders."


ARBITRARY DETERMINATION OF THE ACQUISITION RATIO IN THE ACQUISITION OFFER

         The ratio in the Merger by 1997 Corp. of CyBear for shares of 1997
Corp. Common Stock was determined by negotiation between 1997 Corp. and CyBear,
based on many factors, including non-quantifiable factors and does not
necessarily bear a direct relationship to 1997 Corp.'s or CyBear's asset value,
net worth or other established criteria of value and should not be considered
indicative of the actual value of 1997 Corp. or CyBear.

DILUTION

         The holders of the restricted shares of Common Stock have acquired
their interest in 1997 Corp. at an average cost per share that was significantly
less than that which the Public Investors paid for their securities.
Consequently, the Public Investors will bear the majority of the risk of any
loss that may be incurred in 1997 Corp.'s operations. A

                                       11

<PAGE>

confirmation of the investment in the Common Stock will result in an immediate
substantial dilution of the Public Investor's investment. The issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock upon 1997 Corp.'s completion of the proposed
Merger, may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and will have a
dilutive effect on the voting rights of the holders of shares of the Common
Stock.

FUTURE SALES OF COMMON STOCK

         Except for the shares of Common Stock purchased by the Public Investors
in the Offering, shares of Common Stock held by the insiders of 1997 Corp. and
the shares of Common Stock to be issued to CyBear shareholders are "restricted
securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and under certain circumstances may be sold without
registration pursuant to such Rule. 1997 Corp. is unable to predict the effect
that sales made under Rule 144, or otherwise, may have on the then prevailing
market price of the Common Shares. 1997 Corp. is under no obligation to take any
action in furtherance of making Rule 144 or any other exemption available.


NO DIVIDENDS AND NONE ANTICIPATED

         1997 Corp. has not paid any dividends and due to its present financial
status and its contemplated financial requirements, 1997 Corp. does not
contemplate or anticipate paying any dividends on its common stock in the
foreseeable future.


VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICES

         The market prices for securities of a company in its development stage
have been highly volatile. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme
price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of start-up
and development stage companies generally, that have been unrelated to operating
performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely effect the market
price of the Common Stock.


LIMITED DIRECTORS' LIABILITY

         Under 1997 Corp.'s Certificate of Incorporation, directors of 1997
Corp. cannot be held liable to 1997 Corp. or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duties unless the breach involves (i) the
director's duty of loyalty to 1997 Corp. or its stockholders, (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 (relating to liability for
unauthorized acquisition or redemptions of or dividends on, Capital Stock) of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) a transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision does not
affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state
securities laws.


RECONFIRMATION RIGHTS; POSSIBLE INABILITY TO COMPLETE BUSINESS COMBINATION

         In connection with the Reconfirmation Offer, should the Public
Investors holding 20% or less of the Common Stock elect to redeem their shares,
1997 Corp. may, but will not be required to, proceed with the proposed Business
Combination and, if 1997 Corp. elects to so proceed, will redeem such shares at
their Liquidation Value (the purchase price of such shares plus any accrued
interest on such escrow price in the proceeds

                                       12

<PAGE>

escrow account) as of the Record Date. In any case, if the Public Investors
holding more than 20% of such Common Stock elect to redeem their shares, 1997
Corp. will not proceed with the proposed Business Combination and will not
redeem any shares of Common Stock. As a result of the foregoing, 1997 Corp.'s
ability to consummate a particular Business Combination may be impaired.


POSSIBLE LIQUIDATION OF 1997 CORP. IF NO BUSINESS COMBINATION

         If 1997 Corp. does not effect a Business Combination by October 24,
1998, 1997 Corp. will distribute to the holders of Common Stock acquired in the
Offering the amount of their original investment plus a pro-rata share of all
dividends and interest accrued in the Rule 419 Escrow.

         There can be no assurance that 1997 Corp. will effect a Business
Combination by October 24, 1998.

INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT CONSIDERATIONS; POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL REPORTING AND
COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS

         The regulatory scope of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Investment Company Act"), which was enacted principally for the purpose of
regulating vehicles for pooled investments in securities, extends generally to
companies engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning,
holding or trading in securities. The Investment Company Act may, however, also
be deemed to be applicable to a company which does not intend to be
characterized as an investment company but which, nevertheless, engages in
activities which may be deemed to be within the definitional scope of certain
provisions of the Investment Company Act. 1997 Corp. believes that its principal
activities, which involve acquiring control of an operating company, will not
subject 1997 Corp. to regulation under the Investment Company Act. Nevertheless,
there can be no assurance that 1997 Corp. will not be deemed to be an investment
company, particularly during the period prior to consummation of a Business
Combination. If 1997 Corp. is deemed to be an investment company, 1997 Corp. may
become subject to certain restrictions relating to 1997 Corp.'s activities,
including restrictions on the nature of its investments and the issuance of
securities. In addition, the Investment Company Act imposes certain requirements
on companies deemed to be within its regulatory scope, including registration as
an investment company, adoption of a specific form of corporate structure and
compliance with certain burdensome reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy,
disclosure and other rules and regulations. In the event of the characterization
of 1997 Corp. as an investment company, the failure by 1997 Corp. to satisfy
such regulatory requirements, whether on a timely basis or at all, would, under
certain circumstances, have a material adverse effect on 1997 Corp.


STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION; RESTRICTED RESALES OF THE SECURITIES

         The ability to register or qualify for sale the shares of Common Stock
for both initial sale and secondary trading will be limited because a
significant number of states have enacted regulations pursuant to their
securities or so-called "blue sky" laws restricting or, in many instances,
prohibiting, the sale of securities of "blank check" issuers such as 1997 Corp.
within that state. In addition, many states, while not specifically prohibiting
or restricting "blank check" companies, would not register the securities to be
offered in this offering for sale in their states. Because of these

                                       13

<PAGE>

regulations, 1997 Corp. has registered the securities being offered in the
Offering, or an exemption from registration has been obtained (or is otherwise
available), only in the states of Maryland, New York, Rhode Island and the
District of Columbia (the "Primary Distribution States") and initial sales may
only be made in such jurisdictions. More specifically, 1997 Corp. has registered
the securities by coordination in Maryland and Rhode Island and by notification
in New York. Exemptions from registration have been obtained (or are otherwise
available) in the District of Columbia. No resales of the shares will be
permitted while such shares remain in the Securities Escrow.

LIMITED PRIOR MARKET FOR THE COMMON STOCK; RESALE LIMITATIONS

         Although 1997 Corp. sold 30,000 shares of its Common Stock in a "blank
check" public offering in 1997, there has been no public market for such shares.
Although the Company intends to apply for a listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market
("Nasdaq") System as soon as it meets the minimum qualifications for such
listing, it does not now, nor will it immediately after this transaction, meet
the qualification requirements for inclusion on Nasdaq.

QUALIFICATION FOR AND POSSIBLE DELISTING OF SECURITIES FROM NASDAQ SYSTEM

         Under current Nasdaq rules, in order to qualify for initial listing in
the Nasdaq System, a company must, among other things, have at least $4,000,000
in net tangible assets, a minimum bid price for its common stock of $4.00 per
share and 300 stockholders. In addition, in order to continue to qualify for
listing on Nasdaq, a company must have, among other things, at least $2,000,000
in net tangible assets and a minimum bid price for its common stock of $1.00 per
share. Accordingly, the Company will not qualify for initial Nasdaq listing
since it may not have the requisite number of stockholders and may not meet the
minimum bid price. Furthermore, even if the company is able in the future to
qualify for Nasdaq listing, if the Company is unable to satisfy the continued
listing criteria inasmuch as it might have less than $2,000,000 in net tangible
assets, or the minimum bid price for its common stock might be less than $1.00
per share. In such an event, the Company's Common Stock may not be eligible for
continued listing on the Nasdaq.

         Whether as a result of delisting or the failure to qualify initially,
trading, if any, in the Company's securities would be conducted on the
over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets,"
or on the "OTC Bulletin Board." As a result, an investor may find it more
difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of,
the Company's securities. Consequently, the rule may restrict the ability of
broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and may affect the ability of
stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. The loss of
continued listing in the Nasdaq System, if the Company were to qualify for such
listing, may also cause a decline in share price, loss of news coverage of the
Company and difficulty in obtaining subsequent financing.

OFFERING IS SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK RULES AND BROKER-DEALER SALES OF COMMON STOCK
IN THE SECONDARY MARKET

         By virtue of 1997 Corp. being a "blank check" company, it is subject to
the provisions under Rule 419 of Regulation C under the Securities Act. For any
transaction

                                       14

<PAGE>

involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any
transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the
Commission relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be
made about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly
statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the
penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny
stocks. 1997 Corp.'s "penny stock" securities are subject to Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which imposes additional
sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouse). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must
make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale.

         These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading
activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny
stock rules which makes it more difficult to sell such securities. Such
requirements, could result in reduction in the level of trading activity for
that particular security of 1997 Corp. and could make it more difficult for
investors to sell that particular security.

PROHIBITION PURSUANT TO RULE 15G-8 UNDER EXCHANGE ACT TO SELL OR OFFER TO SELL
SHARES IN RULE 419 ACCOUNT

         Rule 419 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
requires that the securities to be issued and the funds received in a blank
check offering be deposited and held in an escrow account until an acquisition
meeting specified criteria is completed. Pursuant to Rule 15g-8 under the
Exchange Act, it is unlawful for any person to sell or offer to sell the
Deposited Shares (or any interest in or related to the shares) held in the Rule
419 Escrow other than pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order issued by
a court in connection with divorce proceedings. As a result, contracts for sale
to be satisfied by delivery of the deposited shares (e.g. contracts for sale on
a when, as, and if issued basis) are prohibited. Such rule prohibits sales of
other interests based on the shares, whether or not physical delivery is
required. Therefore, investors will not be able to realize any return on their
investment for up to 18 months unless and until the Merger is completed.

CYBEAR

LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

         The Company was organized in February 1997 and is still in the
development stage. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged primarily
in product development activities. As the Company anticipates that its products
will be introduced in 1999, those products have not yet proven to be
commercially viable. As a result, the Company has no relevant operating history
upon which an evaluation of its performance and prospects can be made. The
Company has not generated any meaningful revenues, and the Company will not
generate any meaningful revenues until after the Company successfully completes
development and market testing of its products. The Company will be subject to
all of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays, problems and difficulties
typically encountered in the establishment of a new business and the

                                       15

<PAGE>

development and commercialization of new products. The Company has limited
experience in developing and commercializing software and Internet-based
products and there is limited information available concerning the potential
performance of the Company's software or market acceptance of the Company's
proposed products. There can be no assurance that unanticipated expenses,
problems or technical difficulties will not occur which would result in material
delays in product commercialization or that the Company's efforts will result in
successful product commercialization. See "Business."

ACCUMULATED DEFICIT

         The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of March
31, 1998 had an accumulated deficit of $2,121,145. The Company does not expect
to recognize any significant revenues until 1999. In addition, the Company
intends to continue to invest heavily in product development and marketing. As a
result, the Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses
for the foreseeable future, and there can be no assurance that the Company will
achieve or sustain profitability. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS; UNCERTAINTY OF ADDITIONAL FINANCING

         CyBear has primarily been funded with capital contributions and loans
from Andrx. Andrx has indicated to CyBear that it will continue to fund the
Company's capital needs until the Company is able to raise capital from third
parties or the next 12 months, whichever is earlier. A condition to the closing
of the Merger is that Andrx provide or arrange for at least $3,000,000 of equity
or debt funding for CyBear. CyBear currently anticipates that its available cash
resources and available funding from Andrx will be sufficient to meet its
presently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for
at least the next 12 months. However, in order to support more rapid expansion,
develop new or enhanced services and products, respond to competitive pressures,
acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take advantage of
unanticipated opportunities, the Company may need to raise additional funds. The
Company's future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous
factors, including the success of the Company's proposed products and competing
technological and market developments. The Company may be required to raise
additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or
other arrangements. There can be no assurance that such additional funding, if
needed, will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders,
and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may
limit the Company's operating flexibility with respect to certain business
matters. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company
may be unable to develop or enhance its services and products, take advantage of
future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations
and financial condition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

UNCERTAINTY OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

         The Company has not yet completed third-party testing of the basic
connectivity product platform or the development or testing of certain system
enhancements. The Company will be required to commit considerable time, effort
and resources to finalize such development and adapt its software to satisfy
specific requirements of potential

                                       16

<PAGE>

customers. CyBear's planned ISP is in the early stages of development and will
require substantial resources prior to its commercial introduction. Continued
system refinement, enhancement and development efforts are subject to all of the
risks inherent in the development of new products and technologies, including
unanticipated delays, expenses, technical problems or difficulties, as well as
the possible insufficiency of funds to satisfactorily complete development,
which could result in abandonment or substantial change in product
commercialization. There can be no assurance that product development efforts
will be successfully completed on a timely basis, or at all, that the Company
will be able to successfully adapt its software to satisfy specific requirements
of potential customers, or that unanticipated events will not occur which would
result in increased costs or material delays in product development or
commercialization. In addition, while the Company believes that its initial
basic connectivity product platform performs the principal functions for which
it has been designed, the Company has only conducted limited tests of the
initial components of its software in connection with preliminary market testing
activities. Consequently, there can be no assurance that such software will
perform all of the functions for which it has been or will be designed or prove
to be sufficiently reliable in widespread commercial use. Technologies as
complex as those incorporated into the Company's software may contain errors
which become apparent subsequent to commercial use. Remedying such errors could
delay the Company's plans and cause it to incur substantial additional costs.

UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE

         As is typical in a developing business, demand and market acceptance
for new and unproven products and services are subject to a high level of
uncertainty. Achieving market acceptance for CyBear's products and services will
require substantial marketing efforts and expenditure of significant funds to
create awareness and demand by participants in the healthcare industry. There
can be no assurance that CyBear's effort in establishing such products and
services will be successful, that CyBear will be able to succeed in positioning
its services as a preferred method for healthcare communications, that there
will be significant market acceptance for its products and services or that any
pricing strategy developed by CyBear will be economically viable or acceptable
to the market.

POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS

         As a result of the Company's limited operating history and the emerging
nature of the products and markets in which the Company expects to compete, the
Company's historical financial data is of limited value in planning future
operating expenses. Accordingly, the Company's expense levels are based in part
on its expectations concerning future revenues and are fixed to a large extent.
The Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate
for any unexpected shortfall in revenues. Further, the Company's quarterly
operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a
variety of factors, some of which are outside the Company's control. These
factors include the level of demand for its ISP; the ability of the Company to
timely release its connectivity products and their market acceptance, the
Company's ability to attract and retain personnel with the necessary strategic,
technical and creative skills required to develop and service the Company's
customers; the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs
relating to the expansion of the Company's operations; the introduction of new
products or services by the Company or its competitors; pricing changes in the
industry; technical difficulties with respect to the use of the Internet;
economic conditions specific to Internet technology usage; government

                                       17

<PAGE>

regulation and legal developments regarding the use of the Internet; and general
economic conditions. Due to all of the foregoing factors, in some future quarter
the Company's operating results may fall below market expectations.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RISKS; PENDING INFRINGEMENT CLAIM

         The Company regards its copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets
(including its methodologies, practices and tools) and other intellectual
property rights as critical to its success. To protect its rights in these
various intellectual properties, the Company relies on a combination of patent,
trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality
agreements and other contractual arrangements with its employees, affiliates,
clients, strategic partners, acquisition targets and others to protect its
proprietary rights. CyBear has also taken steps to obtain patent protection for
its inventions and to register several of its trademarks. There can be no
assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its proprietary rights
will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate the
Company's patents, copyrights, trademarks and similar proprietary rights, or
that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate
steps to enforce its rights. In addition, although the Company believes that its
proprietary rights do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of
others, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert
infringement claims against the Company. Such claims, even if not meritorious,
could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial
resources.

         On March 18, 1998, Andrx received a letter from counsel for Medix
Resources, Inc. ("Medix") and its subsidiary, Cymedix Lynx Corporation
("Cymedix") alleging the theft and unlawful appropriation by the Company, Andrx,
and certain directors, officers and employees of the Company and Andrx of
certain computer medical software and internet medical communications technology
allegedly owned by Cymedix. The letter demands trebled damages totaling $396.6
million pursuant to the civil theft provisions of Florida law, and also alleges
claims under Florida's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act and
certain other provisions of federal and state law. The Company and Andrx believe
that Medix's and Cymedix's accusations and threatened claims have no basis in
substantial fact or legal support and on March 23, 1998, the Company and Andrx
filed a complaint against Medix and Cymedix for libel and slander arising from
the improper public dissemination of the contents of the aforesaid demand letter
with respect to each of the matters set forth in the aforesaid demand letter.
The Company and Andrx intend to vigorously prosecute their complaints, which
seek damages, costs, interest and attorneys' fees. On June 2, 1998 Medix, on
behalf of Cymedix, filed a complaint against the Company, Andrx and certain
Company and Andrx directors, officers and employees alleging the theft and
unlawful appropriation of Cymedix' computer medical software for remote online
healthcare providers and Cymedix' Internet medical communications technology
allegedly owned by Cymedix. Cymedix is seeking treble damages totaling $396
million. The Company and Andrx believe that Cymedix's suit has no basis in
substantial fact or legal support and is without merit, and intend to vigorously
defend themselves against these claims. However, there can be no assurance that
the Company will prevail in this litigation and an adverse outcome would have a
material adverse affect on the Company's business plan and financial position.

                                       18

COMPETITION

         Both the ISP market and the management applications market in which the
Company intends to operate are extremely competitive, and the Company expects
competition in these markets to intensify in the future. The Company will face
competition from numerous sources, including prospective customers which may
develop and market their own competitive products and services, physician office
management information systems companies, online medical information service
companies, system integration companies, health information system vendors,
software companies, online and Internet service providers and others with the
technical capabilities and expertise which would encourage them to develop and
commercialize competitive products or services. The Company's prospective
competitors include many large companies that have substantially greater market
presence and financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the
Company. The Company believes that there are many web sites that provide much of
the substantive information to be provided on the Company's system, although
none of such companies is believed to be an ISP offering all of the same
content. Further, many management information and software companies are
attempting to develop technology similar to the Company's connectivity products.
If competing products are introduced, they could materially and adversely affect
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. The
Company believes that its ability to compete successfully in the Internet
services market depends on a number of factors, including its content; market
presence; the adequacy of its member and technical support services; the
capacity, reliability and security of its network infrastructure; the ease of
access to and navigation of the Internet provided by the Company's services; the
pricing policies of the Company, its competitors and its suppliers; and industry
and general economic trends. There can be no assurance that the Company will
have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing and support
capabilities to compete successfully.

RELIANCE ON RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGY

         All businesses which rely on Internet technology, including the
healthcare communications business, are subject to rapid technological change,
changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions and evolving
industry standards. In addition, as the communications, computer and software
industries continue to experience rapid technological change, the Company must
be able to quickly and successfully adapt its products and services so that they
adapt to such changes. There can be no assurance that the Company will not
experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development
and introduction of its healthcare communications products and services. The
Company's inability to respond to technological changes in a timely and
cost-effective manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, there can be
no assurance that competitors will not develop technologically superior products
and services, or that any such products and services will not have an adverse
effect upon the Company's operating results.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

         The Company's performance is substantially dependent on the continued
services and on the performance of its executive officers and other key
employees, many of whom have worked together for only a short period of time and
are not all full-time employees of CyBear. Particularly in light of the
Company's relatively early stage of development,

                                       19

<PAGE>

the Company is dependent on retaining and motivating highly qualified personnel,
especially its senior management. The Company does not have "key person" life
insurance policies on any of its executive officers. The loss of the services of
any of its executive officers or other key employees could have a material
adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of
the Company. See "Management."

GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF HEALTHCARE

         Participants in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive and
frequently changing regulation under numerous laws administered by governmental
entities at the federal, state and local levels. Many current laws and
regulations, when enacted, did not anticipate the methods of healthcare
communication under development by the Company. The Company believes, however,
that these laws and regulations may nonetheless be applied to its healthcare
communications business. Accordingly, the Company' healthcare communications
business may be affected by current regulations as well as future regulations
specifically targeted to this new segment of the healthcare industry. Current
laws and regulations which may affect the healthcare communications business
include (i) the regulation of confidential patient medical record information,
(ii) laws relating to the electronic transmission of prescriptions from
physicians' offices to pharmacies, (iii) regulations governing the use of
software applications in the diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation or
prevention of disease and (iv) laws or regulations relating to the relationships
between or among healthcare providers. CyBear expects to conduct its healthcare
communications business in substantial compliance with all material federal,
state and local laws and regulations governing its operations. However, the
impact of regulatory developments in the healthcare industry is complex and
difficult to predict, and there can be no assurance that CyBear will not be
materially adversely affected by existing or new regulatory requirements or
interpretations.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL GROWTH

         CyBear intends to rapidly expand it management, research and
development, testing, marketing, sales and customer service over the next 12
months, which is expected to place a significant strain on its managerial,
operational, financial and information systems resources. To accommodate its
increasing size and manage growth, the Company must continue to implement and
improve its operational, financial and information systems, and expand, train
and manage its employee base. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to effectively manage expansion of its operations, or that the Company's
facilities, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support the
Company's operations. The inability of the Company to manage future growth
effectively would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

EMERGING MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S SERVICES

         The Company operates in a market that is at a very early stage of
development, is rapidly evolving and is characterized by an increasing number of
market entrants who have introduced or developed competing products and
services. As is typical in the case of a new and rapidly evolving industry,
demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are
subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. The adoption of the Internet
for commerce, particularly by those individuals and companies in the healthcare
industry which historically have relied upon traditional means of commerce, will
require a broad acceptance of new methods of conducting business and exchanging
information. There can be no assurance that the market for the Company's


                                       20

<PAGE>

products and services will develop or that demand for the Company's services
will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more
slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, or if the Company's
services do not achieve or sustain market acceptance, the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely
affected.

DEPENDENCE ON ADOPTION OF THE INTERNET AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM; RELIANCE ON
SHORT-TERM ADVERTISING CONTRACTS

         The Company may derive revenue from the sale of advertisements on its
Web sites. The Company's ability to generate advertising revenue will depend on,
among other factors, the development of the Internet as an advertising medium,
the amount of traffic on and the membership bases of the Company's Web sites and
the Company's ability to achieve and demonstrate user and member demographic
characteristics that are attractive to advertisers. Most potential advertisers
and their advertising agencies have only limited experience with the Internet as
an advertising medium and have not devoted a significant portion of their
advertising expenditures to Internet-based advertising. There can be no
assurance that advertisers will be persuaded to allocate or continue to allocate
portions of their budgets to Internet-based advertising or, if so persuaded,
that they will find such advertising to be effective for promoting their
products and services relative to traditional print and broadcast media. No
standards have yet been widely accepted for the measurement of the effectiveness
of Internet-based advertising, and there can be no assurance that such standards
will develop sufficiently to support Internet-based advertising as a significant
advertising medium. In addition, the widespread adoption of technologies that
permit Internet users to selectively block out unwanted graphics, including
advertisements, attached to Web pages could adversely affect the growth of the
Internet as an advertising medium. If widespread commercial use of the Internet
does not develop, or if the Internet does not develop as an effective and
measurable medium for advertising, the Company's business, results of operations
and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

         The Company's advertising revenue may be derived under short-term
contracts. Consequently, the Company's advertising customers could move their
advertising to competing Web sites or to other media quickly and without
penalty, thereby increasing the Company's exposure to competitive pressures. Any
failure of the Company to achieve sufficient advertising revenue would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition.

DEPENDENCE ON CONTINUED GROWTH IN USE OF THE INTERNET

         The Company's success may be highly dependent upon continued growth in
the use of the Internet generally and, in particular, as a medium for
advertising, information services and commerce. The rapid growth of global
commerce and the exchange of information on the Internet and online services is
new and evolving, making it difficult to predict whether the Internet will prove
to be a viable commercial marketplace. There can be no assurance that the
Internet will be a successful commerce and information channel. The Internet may
not prove to be a viable commercial marketplace due to inadequate development of
the necessary infrastructure, such as reliable network backbones, or
complementary services, such as high speed modems and security procedures for
financial transactions. Concern over Internet security has been, and could
continue to be,

                                       21

<PAGE>

a barrier to commercial activities requiring users to send confidential
information over the Internet. The Internet has experienced, and is expected to
continue to experience, significant growth in the number of users and amount of
traffic. There can be no assurance that the Internet infrastructure will
continue to be able to support the demands placed on it by sustained growth.

INTERNET COMMERCE SECURITY RISKS

         A significant barrier to electronic commerce and communications is the
secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. The
Company will rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from
third parties to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect
secure transmission of confidential information. There can be no assurance that
advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography
or other events or developments will not result in a compromise or breach of the
algorithms used by the Company to protect customer transaction data. If any such
compromise of the Company's security were to occur it could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition. A party who is able to circumvent the Company's security measures
could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in the
Company's operations. The Company may be required to expend significant capital
and other resources to protect against the threat of such security breaches or
to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Concerns over the security of
Internet transactions and the privacy of users may also inhibit the growth of
the Internet generally, and the Web in particular, especially as a means of
conducting commercial transactions. To the extent that activities of the Company
or third party contractors involve the storage and transmission of proprietary
information, such as credit card numbers, security breaches could expose the
Company to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. There can be no
assurance that the Company's security measures will prevent security breaches or
that failure to prevent such security breaches would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

LIABILITY FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVED FROM THE INTERNET

         Due to the fact that materials may be downloaded from web sites
operated by the company and may be subsequently distributed to others, there is
a potential that claims will be made against the company for defamation,
negligence, copyright or trademark infringement or other theories based on the
nature and content of such materials. such claims have been brought, sometimes
successfully, against online services in the past. in addition, the company
could be subject to liability with respect to content that may be accessible
through the company's web sites or third party web sites linked from the
company's web sites. although the company carries general liability insurance,
the company's insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not
be adequate to cover all costs incurred in defense of potential claims or to
indemnify the company for all liability that may be imposed. any costs or
imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or in excess of
insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition.

                                       22

<PAGE>

DEPENDENCE ON NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE AND THIRD PARTY NETWORK PROVIDERS

         The future success of the Company's ISP business will depend on the
capacity, reliability and security of the Company's network infrastructure.
CyBear does not intend to construct its own network but will instead contract
with third parties to provide this network infrastructure. Capacity constraints
may occur in the future, resulting in effects ranging from delays when trying to
use a particular service to general slow downs of all services offered by the
Company on the Internet. Poor network performance could cause members to
terminate use of the Company's services. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to contract for or develop its network infrastructure to
meet its demand or changing member requirements on a timely basis or at a
commercially reasonable cost, if at all.

         CyBear expects to enter into contractual arrangements with owners of
dial-up points of presence ("POPs") through which the Company will provide
Internet access on a non-exclusive basis. The Company will thus be dependent on
such providers for crucial portions of its network infrastructure and does not
have direct control over network reliability and other quality service concerns.
There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into any such agreements
to provide network access to the Company and its members on acceptable terms.
Moreover, most such providers also provide network services to other entities
that offer Internet or online services. The inability or unwillingness of a
network provider to provide reliable, high quality POP access to the Company on
commercially reasonable terms, or the Company's inability to secure alternative
POP arrangements, if necessary, would limit the Company's ability to provide
Internet access to its members, which would, in turn, have a material adverse
effect on the Company.

DEPENDENCE ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS AND OTHER SUPPLIERS

         The Company will rely on local telephone and other companies to provide
data communications capacity via local telecommunications lines, long distance
lines and wireless connections, all of which are subject to potential
disruptions that may not be remedied easily or on a timely basis. In addition,
the Company is dependent on certain third-party suppliers of hardware
components, some of which are acquired from limited sources. The Company also
depends on third-party software vendors to provide the Company with much of its
Internet software, including its browser software. The Company's suppliers and
telecommunications carriers also sell or lease services and products to the
Company's competitors. There can be no assurance that the Company's suppliers
and telecommunications carriers will not enter into exclusive arrangements with
the Company's competitors or otherwise stop selling or leasing their services or
products to the Company, which events could have a material adverse effect on
the Company. Failure of any of Company's suppliers to provide services,
equipment or software in the quantities, at the quality levels or at the times
required by the Company, or an inability by the Company to develop alternative
sources of supply could materially adversely affect the Company's ability to
effectively support the growth of its member base in a timely manner would
increase its costs of expansion.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS

         The Company intends to provide Internet services, in part, through data
transmissions over public telephone lines. These transmissions are governed by
regulatory policies establishing charges and terms for wireline communications.
The Company currently is not subject to direct regulation by the Federal
Communications

                                       23

<PAGE>

Commission (the "FCC") or any other governmental agency, other than regulations
applicable to businesses generally. However, in the future the Company could
become subject to regulation by the FCC or another regulatory agency as a
provider of basic telecommunications services. Changes in the regulatory
environment relating to the application of access charges and Universal Service
Fund support payments to Internet and Internet telephony providers, regulation
of Internet services, including Internet telephony, and other regulatory changes
that directly or indirectly affect costs imposed on Internet or Internet
telephony providers, telecommunications costs or increase in the likelihood or
scope of competition, could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

YEAR 2000

         Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year.
These programs were designed and developed without considering the impact of the
upcoming change in the century. If not corrected, many computer software
applications could fail or create erroneous results by, at or beyond the year
2000 (the "Year 2000 Phenomenon"). The Company utilizes software, computer
technology and other services provided by third-party vendors that may not be
Year 2000 Phenomenon ready. The Company may also be indirectly dependent on the
institutions involved in processing the Company's members' credit card payments
for the Company's services. The Company is currently assessing the Year 2000
Phenomenon readiness of its third-party supplied software, computer technology
and other services. Based upon the results of this assessment, the Company will
develop and implement, if necessary, a remediation plan with respect to
third-party software, computer technology and services which may fail to be Year
2000 Phenomenon ready. The Company has assessed its proprietary software and
systems and has determined them to be Year 2000 Phenomenon ready. Management
anticipates that the Company's systems, including components thereof provided by
third-party vendors, will be Year 2000 Phenomenon ready by 2000. At this time,
the expenses associated with this assessment and potential remediation plan
cannot presently be determined. The failure of the software and computing
systems of the Company and its third-party vendors to be Year 2000 Phenomenon
ready could have material adverse effect on the Company. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

                                   THE MERGER

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

         The Merger Agreement sets forth a proposed transaction (the "Merger")
among CyBear, an indirect subsidiary of Andrx, 1997 Corp. and CyBear Capital
Corp. ("Mergerco") (collectively referred to as the "Companies") whereby 1997
Corp. would acquire from the current stockholders of CyBear all of the
outstanding capital stock of CyBear by means of a statutory merger of Mergerco,
a newly formed subsidiary of 1997 Corp., into CyBear. The separate existence and
corporate organization of Mergerco, except insofar as it may be continued by
statute, shall cease on the effective date of the Merger (the "Effective Date")
and CyBear (the "Surviving Corporation") shall become a wholly owned subsidiary
of 1997 Corp. There shall be no change in the ownership of the 265,306 shares of
1997 Corp. Common Stock outstanding until immediately prior to the Merger. The
Merger will be effected pursuant to the Florida Business Corporation Law and is
intended to be a tax free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").


         Upon consummation of the Merger, all Mergerco shares currently issued
and outstanding to 1997 Corp. shall be converted into an equal number of shares
of common stock, par value $.001, of the Surviving Corporation by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, and shall
constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Surviving Corporation. All outstanding CyBear Common Shares shall be cancelled
and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall be converted by virtue of the
Merger, at the Effective Date, into a total of 13,000,000 1997 Corp. Shares
without any action on the part of the holders thereof on the basis of one 1997
Corp. Share for each CyBear Common Share. The holders of certificates
representing CyBear Common Shares outstanding prior to the Merger shall be
entitled upon surrender thereof to receive from Mergerco a certificate
representing the number of 1997 Corp. Shares to which such holder shall be
entitled for each CyBear Common Share so surrendered. Until so surrendered, the
outstanding certificates which, prior to the Effective Date, represented CyBear
Common Shares shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership
of 1997 Corp. Shares into which such CyBear Common Shares shall have been
converted. All presently outstanding employee stock options of CyBear shall be
assumed by 1997 Corp.


         The result of the Merger, assuming that all of the 1997 Corp.
stockholders accept the Acquisition Offer, is that the holders of CyBear's
Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger will own 98% of
1997 Corp.'s Common Stock and the current 1997 Corp. stockholders will own 2% of
1997 Corp.'s Common Stock. It is expected that the business of CyBear will
continue after the Merger and that the directors and officers of CyBear will
become directors and officers of 1997 Corp. after the Merger. Upon consummation
the Merger: (i) subject to approval by the shareholders of 1997 Corp., the name
of 1997 Corp. shall be changed to "CyBear, Inc." and (ii) the name of CyBear
shall be changed to CyBear Inc. (FL).

business days and no later than 45 business days from the date hereof) will be
deemed to have rejected the Acquisition Offer and will (if the Acquisition Offer
is otherwise accepted by the requisite 80% of the Public Investors)
automatically be sent a check representing his or her pro rata share of the
funds in the escrow account for the benefit of the Public Investors. See
"Reconfirmation Offering."

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

         The Merger is intended to qualify as a "tax-free reorganization" for
purposes of the United States federal income tax so that stockholders of 1997
Corp. subject to United States tax will not recognize gain or loss from the
transaction. In addition, the transaction is not intended to result in the
recognition of gain or loss to either CyBear or 1997 Corp. in the respective
jurisdictions where each of them is subject to taxation. NO OPINION OF COUNSEL
NOR A RULING FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS BEEN OBTAINED IN REFERENCE TO
THE FOREGOING. THE FOREGOING IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND 1997 CORP.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO THEM.

FEES AND EXPENSES

         Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CyBear and 1997 Corp.
are each to bear their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
Merger. Since the only funds available to 1997 Corp. are the $150,000 in cash
held in escrow pursuant to Rule 419, none of which may be used by either 1997
Corp. or CyBear prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement, it is
anticipated that 1997 Corp. will accrue liabilities on its financial statements
which will be paid after the closing of the Merger.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         THE FOLLOWING MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH
INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A
RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH UNDER "RISK FACTORS" AND
ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION ALSO SHOULD BE READ IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMPANY'S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

1997 CORP.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         1997 Corp.'s public offering was declared effective on June 16, 1997.
1997 Corp. offered a total of 30,000 shares of Common Stock (par value $.001 per
share) at an offering price of $5.00 per Share, for an aggregate $150,000. On
September 16, 1997 Corp. closed on 30,000 Shares for a total gross proceeds of
$150,000. Pursuant to Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, net proceeds of
$150,000 together with all securities issued are being held in escrow pending
the consummation of an acquisition or merger.

         After the closing of the Merger, the business of 1997 Corp. will
consist of owning and operating CyBear. The resources of 1997 Corp. will be made
available to CyBear for its business. The combined cash resources of CyBear and
1997 Corp. will not be sufficient to fully develop and market its products and
services. Therefore, 1997 Corp. will be required to obtain additional financing
about which no assurance can be given.

         As of December 31, 1997, 1997 Corp. had incurred approximately $20,000
of costs associated with the formation and capitalization of 1997 Corp. The
founding shareholders of the Company, who hold 15,000 of the 45,000 shares
presently outstanding, funded these costs. 1997 Corp. will use the net proceeds
from the previous offering principally in connection with effecting a Business
Combination, and structuring and consummating a Business Combination (including
possible payment of finder's fees or other compensation to persons or entities
which provide assistance or services 1997 Corp.). 1997 Corp. does not have
discretionary access to the income on the monies in the escrow account and
stockholders of 1997 Corp. will not receive any distribution of the income
(except in connection with a liquidation of 1997 Corp.) or have any ability to
direct the use or distribution of such income. Thus, such income will cause the
amount in escrow to increase. 1997 Corp. cannot use the escrowed amounts to pay
the costs of evaluating potential Business Combinations. To the extent that
Common Stock is used as consideration to effect a Business Combination, the
balance of the net proceeds from the offering not theretofore expended will be
used to finance the operations of the Target Business. No cash compensation will
be paid to any officer or director in their capacities as such until after the
consummation of the first Business Combination. Since the role of present
management after a Business Combination is uncertain, 1997 Corp. has no ability
to determine what remuneration, if any, will be paid to such persons after a
Business Combination.

         At March 31, 1998, 1997 Corp.'s current assets were $153,447, while
current liabilities were $2,807.


CYBEAR

INTRODUCTION

         CyBear, a Florida corporation in the development stage, was
incorporated on February 5, 1997. CyBear, Inc. is a 99% owned subsidiary of
Andrx. CyBear is developing a suite of Internet-based productivity and
communication networks for the healthcare industry, including private
communication networks among healthcare providers, the provision of Internet
services, and electronic management tools for prescriptions, patient referrals,
hospital admissions, and other healthcare related activities. To date, the
Company's principal activities have consisted of developing its products and
providing software development services to Andrx.

         From inception through March 31, 1998, the Company incurred a net loss
of $2,121,145 and has been dependent upon funding from Andrx. Management
anticipates incurring additional net losses for the foreseeable future, as the
Company continues to expend substantial resources to build its infrastructure,
develop its products and build its sales and marketing and administrative
organizations. Andrx is committed to the required funding of the Company's
future operations until the Company is able to raise capital from third parties
or the next 12 months, whichever is earlier. The Company has not yet completed
third-party testing of the basic connectivity product platform or the
development or testing of certain system enhancements. The Company will be
required to commit considerable time, effort and resources to finalize such
development and adapt its software to satisfy specific requirements of potential
customers. CyBear's planned ISP is in the early stages of development and will
require substantial resources prior to its commercial introduction. There can be
no assurance that the Company will successfully develop its products, achieve or
sustain profitability or positive cash flow from its operations.

         The Company's strategy is to rapidly develop a broad customer base and
a source of revenue by marketing a healthcare ISP. This product will provide a
one-stop location on the Internet for the healthcare community to locate
relevant news, healthcare related information and customizable features unique
to each user. It will also provide a base for the marketing of CyBear's software
productivity applications to the healthcare industry.

         The Company's software applications will establish connectivity between
and among physicians, pharmacies, labs, hospitals, MCOs and Payors. In parallel
with the introduction of its ISP service, CyBear will be marketing and
installing its electronic prescription management product. This product
automates and regulates the flow of prescription information from physician to
pharmacy to MCO. It features formulary compliance, prospective drug utilization
review and electronic prescription transmittal. CyBear will follow its
introduction of the electronic prescription management product with scheduled
releases of its patient referral, lab test submission and reporting, hospital
admission, and other healthcare related software applications.

                                       32

<PAGE>

         Management anticipates introducing its ISP and its electronic
prescription management product in 1999. In addition, the Company intends to
start building its sales and marketing and administrative organizations and
build network operations capacity to support the provision of its expected
services.

         The market for the Company's services and products has only recently
begun to develop, is rapidly evolving and is characterized by an increasing
number of market entrants. The Company and its prospects must be considered in
light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by
companies in the new and rapidly evolving market for Internet services and
products. To address these risks, the Company must, among other things, continue
to attract, retain and motivate qualified persons, and continue to upgrade its
technologies and services.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997 (INCEPTION) TO DECEMBER 31, 1997

         Revenues were $95,927 and consisted of software development services
rendered to Andrx. The Company does not anticipate generating any substantial
revenues in 1998.

         Operating expenses were $1,626,276 and consisted of $1,502,370 in
software development costs and $123,906 in general and administrative expenses.
Software development costs include outside consultant fees, payroll, benefits
and housing expenses of employees involved in the creation, design and
development of the Company's products and the product developed for Andrx.
General and administrative expenses consist mainly of services provided by Andrx
such as executive management, accounting and finance, legal, payroll and human
resources. The Company and Andrx have a corporate services agreement whereby
Andrx provides the Company with office space and various services of its
management such as executive management, accounting and finance, legal, payroll
and human resources.

         Interest expense was $28,220 and represents interest on advances from
Andrx to fund CyBear's operations. Such advances bear interest at prime (8.5% at
March 31, 1998) plus1/2%.

         The Company was not required to provide for federal or state income
taxes due to its net losses. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, the Company
has provided a valuation allowance to reserve against 100% of its net operating
loss carryforwards. CyBear's taxable results are included in the consolidated
income tax return of Andrx. The Company and Andrx have a tax allocation
agreement that provides, among other things, for the allocation of federal
income tax liabilities to the Company at the approximate amounts that would have
been computed as if the Company had filed separate tax returns.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY
5, 1997 (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 1997

         Net cash used in operating activities from February 5, 1997 (inception)
through March 31, 1998 was $1,994,498 and was primarily attributable to software
development expenses offset by accounts payable and accrued payroll and employee
benefits.

         Net cash used in investing activities from February 5, 1997 (inception)
through March 31, 1998 was $470,131. The Company invested $310,131 in capital
expenditures consisting mainly of computer hardware and software used in the
development of its products. In addition, the Company has entered into an
agreement with a third party to license the use of their software to be utilized
in its Internet-based software applications at a minimum of 600 customer sites
for an unlimited period of time. The Company purchased this license for
$160,000.

         Net cash provided by financing activities from February 5, 1997
(inception) through March 31, 1998 was $2,465,629 and consisted of proceeds from
issuance of shares of the Company's stock and funding from Andrx. In February
1997, the Company issued 12,870,000 shares of common stock to Andrx for an
aggregate amount of $500,000 and 130,000 shares of convertible preferred stock
for a promissory note of $30,000. The promissory note was paid in full and the
preferred stock was converted into 130,000 shares of common stock. In addition,
the Company received advances of $1,875,306 from Andrx to fund its operations.
The advances bear interest at prime (8.5% at March 31, 1998) plus1/2% and will
be contributed as additional paid-in capital to the Company upon consummation of
certain transactions, including but not limited to, a merger.

         On March 18, 1998, Andrx received a letter from counsel for Medix
Resources, Inc. ("Medix") and its subsidiary, Cymedix Lynx Corporation
("Cymedix") alleging the theft and unlawful appropriation by Andrx, the Company,
and certain directors, officers and employees of the Company and Andrx of
certain computer medical software and internet medical communications technology
allegedly owned by Cymedix. The letter demands trebled damages totaling $396.6
million pursuant to the civil theft provisions of

                                       34

<PAGE>

Florida law, and also alleges claims under Florida's Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organization Act and certain other provisions of federal and state law.
The Company and Andrx believe that Medix's and Cymedix's accusations and
threatened claims have no basis in substantial fact or legal support and on
March 23, 1998, the Company and Andrx filed a complaint against Medix and
Cymedix for libel and slander arising from the improper public dissemination of
the contents of the aforesaid demand letter with respect to each of the matters
set forth in the aforesaid demand letter. The Company and Andrx intend to
vigorously prosecute their complaints, which seek damages, costs, interest and
attorneys' fees. On June 2, 1998 Medix, on behalf of Cymedix, filed a complaint
against the Company, Andrx and certain Company and CyBear directors, officers
and employees alleging the theft and unlawful appropriation of Cymedix' computer
medical software for remote online healthcare Providers and Cymedix' Internet
medical communications technology allegedly owned by Cymedix. Cymedix is seeking
treble damages totaling $396 million. The Company and Andrx believe that
Cymedix's suit has no basis in substantial fact or legal support and is without
merit, and intend to vigorously defend themselves against these claims. The
Company and Andrx believe that the outcome of this lawsuit will not be material
to their results of operations and financial positions.

         From time-to-time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating
to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The
Company is not currently a party to any other legal proceeding the adverse
outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results
and financial condition.

         The Company anticipates that its cash requirements will continue to
increase as it continues to expend substantial resources to build its
infrastructure, develop its products and establish its sales and marketing,
network operations and administrative organizations. Andrx is committed to the
required funding of the Company's operations until the Company is able to raise
capital from third parties or the next twelve months. Additional funding may not
be available when required or may not be available on terms favorable to the
Company, if at all.

YEAR 2000

         Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year.
These programs were designed and developed without considering the impact of the
upcoming change in the century. If not corrected, many computer software
applications could fail or create erroneous results by, at or beyond the year
2000 (the "Year 2000 Phenomenon"). The Company utilizes software, computer
technology and other services provided by third-party vendors that may not be
Year 2000 Phenomenon ready. The Company may also be indirectly dependent on the
institutions involved in processing the Company's members' credit card payments
for the Company's services. The Company is currently assessing the Year 2000
Phenomenon readiness of its third-party supplied software, computer technology
and other services. Based upon the results of this assessment, the Company will
develop and implement, if necessary, a remediation plan with respect to
third-party software, computer technology and services which may fail to be Year
2000 Phenomenon ready. The Company has assessed its proprietary software and
systems and has determined them to be Year 2000 Phenomenon ready. Management
anticipates that the Company's systems, including components thereof provided by
third-party vendors, will be Year 2000 Phenomenon ready by 2000. At this time,
the expenses associated with this assessment and potential remediation plan
cannot presently be determined. The

                                       35

<PAGE>

failure of the software and computing systems of the Company and its third-party
vendors to be Year 2000 Phenomenon ready could have material adverse effect on
the Company.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", was issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") in June 1997. This Statement requires that all items
that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company has adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 130 beginning January 1, 1998, as required. CyBear's
comprehensive losses and net losses are the same for all periods presented.

         SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information", was issued by the FASB in June 1997. This Statement establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The Company will adopt the provisions of
SFAS No. 131 for the year ending December 31, 1998, as required. Adoption of
this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's existing
reporting disclosures.

         SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" was issued by the FASB in June 1998. SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and
losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and
requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the
effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

         SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. A company may also implement the provision of SFAS No. 133 as of the
beginning of any fiscal quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters
beginning June 16, 1998 and thereafter). SFAS No. 133 cannot be applied
retroactively. SFAS No. 133 must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and
(b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were
issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the
Company's election, before January 1, 1998).

         The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133
on its financial statements and have not determined the timing of or method of
our adoption of SFAS No. 133.

CYBEAR

OVERVIEW

         CyBear, Inc. is a healthcare communications technology company formed
by Andrx to develop technology and products that will address the growing
communication and information problems within the Healthcare Community.

         The Company believes that most sectors of the healthcare industry have
generally failed to adequately invest the resources to upgrade their information
systems to support the requirements of the explosive growth of managed care.
Many parts of the healthcare industry are still reliant on the communication
structure necessary to support the information requirements of the vanishing
fee-for-service model. That system was functional for billing and reimbursement
but has little application for the requirements of managed care.

         The Healthcare Community, which is attempting to both reduce the costs
of healthcare and improve the provision of healthcare, requires greater and more
timely information to achieve these objectives. Currently, the many components
of the Healthcare Delivery System operate independently with limited ability to
communicate the information they have obtained or produced to the other
components within the system. While each component is computerized, limited
progress has been made towards connecting the healthcare components together so
that they can communicate with each other in a convenient, secure and effective
manner ("Universal Connectivity"). With Universal Connectivity, Providers will
be able to communicate with their contracted physician or provider networks so
that they can collect patient information at the point of care, track physician
activities and patterns, identify trends and issues that affect the critical
components of managed care -- such as quality, cost, outcomes, variability and
patient satisfaction -- intervene at the point of care in order to facilitate
Prospective Utilization Review, and assist their member physicians with real
time clinical solutions.

         The CyBear system has been designed to satisfy managed care's demand
for a cost effective solution to the communication and information system
dilemma. CyBear is developing a software product to bridge the communication
chasm between and among Providers and Payors within the managed care chain. The
CyBear system will provide on-line real time communication among MCOs,
physicians, pharmacies, labs, hospitals and other healthcare providers, an
objective within healthcare for more than a decade. The attainment of that
objective is anticipated to provide operating efficiencies, overhead reductions,
cost relief and improved patient care for each of the interrelated Payors and
Providers. The CyBear system capitalizes on the development and emergence of
Internet technologies to merge disparate computer platforms. It employs the
power of Universal Connectivity to create a "virtual private network" to
electronically link all network routers efficiently and effectively.

         CyBear will enable healthcare providers to communicate with one another
through the Internet and secure intranets. This will be accomplished by
marketing a healthcare ISP called CyBearNet. CyBearNet will provide the platform
for connectivity and broadcast communications, while providing a one-stop
location on the Internet for the healthcare community to locate news and
information essential to today's healthcare

                                       39

<PAGE>

environment. CyBearNet will also provide a broad base for the marketing of
CyBear's software applications.

         The ISP service is expected to begin in 1999. The Company will complete
beta testing of its connectivity product with a target of commercial
introduction in 1999.

         The Company believes that there is a significant synergy between
CyBearNet, its ISP service, and its connectivity/management applications. The
ISP service will help to establish Internet connectivity for and between
physicians, pharmacies and other related parties in the Healthcare Community.
This link will be through a common service provider, CyBear, which will provide
a broad base of healthcare news and information along with other content.
Utilizing this connectivity, while providing its customer base with a reliable
source of information, will allow CyBear to demonstrate its expertise in using
the Internet to enhance the healthcare experience for Providers.

         A natural progression from the ISP service is the automation of the
paper-based communication that exists within healthcare. CyBear will be able to
introduce its connectivity/management applications as a further enhancement to
the ISP service already being provided. The Company's management applications
are not reliant upon the ISP service but can integrate with it to disseminate
reports and real time management information.

EXISTING HEALTHCARE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

         The current methods of communication between and among healthcare
Payors and Providers are those inherited from the fee-for-service system. Under
that system, the patient visited a healthcare provider, the provider
subjectively calculated the value of the services it furnished, and presented
its bill, which the insurance carrier paid. This system required little if any
justification of fees, monitoring of costs or sharing of information, and the
only communication tools needed were the mail and, to a certain extent, the
telephone. This fee-for-service system was highly functional and helped
establish a sophisticated, top quality delivery system for health services. It
also presented a continuous escalation of cost that could no longer be
supported.

         Driven by demand from employers and government for a more financially
responsible healthcare system, MCOs emerged as the most effective method of
controlling the spiraling costs of healthcare and maintaining the same high
standards of care. During the last decade, MCOs have leaped from relative
obscurity to a dominant position in the provision of healthcare services.
Combined, HMOs and PPOs now provide healthcare benefit coverage for nearly 150
million Americans.

         The average MCO establishes provider agreements with thousands of
physicians and hundreds of hospitals, labs, mental health facilities, vision
centers, and pharmacies. Using that provider network, MCOs then contract with
employers, government agencies, insurance carriers and individuals to provide
their members, employees and participants with a menu of healthcare benefits.
Under this healthcare structure, MCOs must manage and monitor each member who
enters its system, maintain the integrity and quality of its provider network,
and manage the cost effectiveness of the services it provides. These objectives
require the MCO to satisfy the patients expectation of equal or improved
provision of care, and its clients expectation of continued cost effectiveness,
while

                                       40

<PAGE>

 generating a profit for its investors. Unfortunately, the methods and
modes of communication currently used in the healthcare industry hinder the MCOs
ability to successfully manage these divergent objectives.

         Healthcare has consistently lagged behind the rest of the business
world in the use of electronic communication, and is one of the last remaining
industries that remains dependent on paper communication. The information
systems employed to support and maintain complex healthcare structures have
failed to progress with managed care's growth explosion and its corresponding
information requirements. As a result, all healthcare participants typically
remain reliant upon the processing and communication structure that was in place
under the fee-for-service paradigm.

         Healthcare's paper dependence dilemma is perhaps best demonstrated by
the current mode of prescription writing and dispensing. MCOs typically supply
their network physicians with paperback books ("formularies") that advise their
physicians which medications are included within the patients benefit plan.
Since the formulary for each benefit plan is different, and contains over 1,300
prescriptions on average, compliance with the multiple formularies has become
nearly impossible and is generally ignored. 

         Instead, the physician issues a prescription to the patient, which is
then carried or faxed to a pharmacy - that may or may not have the patient's
complete prescription history on file - for filling and dispensing. In some
instances, the prescription is filled without any communication between
pharmacist, physician and MCO, and insurance coverage, adverse drug
interactions, duplicate therapies and other potential interactions are reviewed
retrospectively, if at all. In a growing number of instances, however, the
pharmacy needs to contact the patient's MCO or pharmacy benefit manager ("PBM")
to determine whether that prescription is proper under the patients benefit
plan. When communication does take place, and the prescription is rejected or
the MCO or PBM indicates an adverse interaction, the pharmacist must then phone
the physician or send the patient back to the physician.

         This system is a legacy of the fee-for-service reimbursement program.
The transaction is awkward, time consuming, inefficient and unresponsive to each
patient's needs. It also burdens the pharmacy and the physician with hours of
daily wasted phone time and bogs down the system. Most importantly, it fails to
provide the physician with the information to thoroughly research the patient's
drug history or the most viable specific course of drug therapy, thereby
increasing the cost to the MCO, through unnecessary complications or hospital
admissions.

         While many Providers and Payors have become at least partially
computerized, little progress had been made towards achieving a computer system
that can provide Universal Connectivity between and among all of the computers
in the Healthcare Delivery System. The linkage of existing computer technologies
has been hindered by a variety of factors, including the high cost of
technology, limitations of existing information systems and the incompatibility
of the operating platforms used by each separate Provider and Payor.

HEALTHCARE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TRENDS

         Healthcare expenditures in the United States exceeded a trillion
dollars in 1996 or approximately 14% of the Gross Domestic Product. Until
recently, however, healthcare significantly trailed the rest of American
industry in expenditures on information technology. Healthcare organizations
have been allocating as little as 1% of operating budgets for information system
investment. That compares with 4% for manufacturing, 7% for insurance and 12%
for banking.

         The information revolution, together with the recent forces of
healthcare reform, the rapid growth and pervasiveness of managed care plans and
capitation have created an awareness of the need to re-engineer and automate the
many processes that were previously paper driven. Some Payors and Providers are
currently attempting to apply computer technology to the task of transmitting
digitized, multi-media medical information across nationwide electronic
networks. Most, however, continue to function within the limitations of their
existing technology. Even MCOs have been slow to transition from many manual
functions to an electronic exchange of data. Most MCOs have adopted information
systems for data delivery among Payors, Providers and employers but as of 1996,
it was estimated that only 14% of these systems can interface with physicians
and hospitals and less than 17% have automated any areas of clinical practice.

         Early healthcare information systems were mainframe designs focused on
administrative and financial functions such as charge capture and account
receivable management. Created for the fee-for-service model, these systems were
activity based and focused on revenue maximization. Managed care requires a
system that can gather and manage information in order to achieve cost
reduction. That system will be able to track physician activities and patterns,
identify trends and issues that affect the critical components of managed care
- -- such as quality, cost, outcome, variability and patient satisfaction -- and
will be able to provide clinically-based and patient-focused support solutions.
Innovative systems will empower intervention at the point-of-care with
Prospective Utilization Review ("PUR") and timely receipt of patient data to
assist the physician with real time clinical solutions.

         Managed care has forced a new economic reality on the practicing
physician. Of the over 400,000 office-based physicians, approximately 65% have
computerized a portion of the financial and administrative aspects of their
practice, employing primarily PC-based commercial turnkey systems. Less than 10%
of the non-group physicians (less than 3 doctors per practice) are using
computer-based patient records and even fewer are connected to other physicians,
hospitals, labs or MCOs. Larger physician group practices have made some
strides, however, as approximately 24% have computerized some or all of their
patient's clinical records. In order to continue to be competitive in the
environment of managed care and capitation, a physician increasingly needs rapid
on-line access to the patient's clinical and financial information.

         Pressures to contain costs and improve quality of care are driving
demand for connectivity and interactive communication systems in the healthcare
industry. Managed care's continued explosive growth is rendering existing
healthcare information systems obsolete.

THE CYBEAR SOLUTION

         CyBear products will provide the Healthcare Community with a presence
on the Internet, through CyBearNet, and will enable them to communicate with the
other members of that community. Combined with CyBear's connectivity/management
applications, which will allow for the real time electronic interchange of data
between different healthcare information systems, the CyBear system is an
integrated solution, capable of releasing the free flow of information between
physicians, pharmacies, labs, hospitals and other healthcare providers.

CYBEARNET INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER

         CyBear's goal is to have CyBearNet become the most widely used and
recognized ISP for the Healthcare Community. The Company's strategy is to
provide significant value to the Healthcare Community by having the CyBearNet
ISP provide the following features:

A high speed Internet connection that can ensure users the highest connection
speed possible.

/bullet/ A customizable home page tailored to each healthcare provider, that can
         provide desirable information to the user and web site communication to
         their patients and customers. The information on CyBearNet will be
         designed to assist the healthcare provider in meeting the demands of
         today's healthcare environment, both personally and professionally.
         CyBearNet will simplify and organize the user's search for that
         information. The Company believes that many healthcare Providers are
         frustrated by the presentation of information from numerous sources and
         the CyBearNet ISP will be designed in a manner that will be intuitive,
         simple and targeted for the healthcare user.

/bullet/ As the content presented on CyBearNet may impact healthcare decisions,
         CyBearNet is intended to be viewed by its users with the same level of
         confidence that physicians view healthcare journals. Accordingly,
         CyBearNet will only accept content from trusted partners who can
         validate the quality of the information sources used. Customers are
         intended to view CyBearNet as offering the highest level of quality,
         reliability and trust.

/bullet/ CyBear intends to make CyBearNet the primary service that users will
         access from their computer and will be the gateway to the rest of the
         Internet. CyBearNet will offer many of the same services found on other
         commercially available ISP's such as general news, sports scores,
         financial information and entertainment, but its focus will the quality
         of its healthcare content designed to improve the delivery of care.

         A secondary benefit of the ISP strategy is that CyBearNet will open the
door for future deployment of the other CyBear connectivity products. Building
off the quality image that CyBearNet has developed, CyBear will target CyBearNet
customers to become users of its connectivity products. CyBearNet will act as a
continuous reminder to users about the additional value that CyBear can bring.

                                       43

<PAGE>

         While the level and depth of content information will evolve based on
the needs of our customers, there will be at least three general content areas
on CyBearNet: (1) general healthcare information; (2) healthcare business
information; and (3) lifestyle information. This information will be easily
selected by the user, and the user will be able to customize the content of
their site so that it fits their personal and professional profile. Content will
be accessed via a static set of "channel" buttons that are always visible.

         Each of these channels will provide specific services and content, and
the user will be able to customize each channel to reflect their desired
content, such as to reflect a user's particular specialty, like cardiology,
pediatrics or urology. This customization will also be reflected on the banner
advertising that appears on that user's screen. The user will also have the
option of purchasing certain services on a per-use basis, such as credentialing,
continuing education and literature to be downloaded.

CONNECTIVITY PRODUCTS

         CyBear is also developing connectivity products and applications that
provide electronic connectivity between and among physicians, pharmacies, labs,
hospitals, MCOs and other healthcare providers. The CyBear system will provide
on-line real time communication and data interchange between the members of the
Healthcare Community, notwithstanding their different information systems. This
will introduce operating efficiencies, overhead reduction, cost relief and
improved provision of patient care. CyBear's goal is to emerge as a leader in
healthcare communication technology through the successful introduction of its
product system, which resolves the current communication dilemma. It overcomes
information system interface barriers by capitalizing on the development and
emergence of Internet technology to link disparate computer platforms and allow
real time communication between operating systems.

         CyBear has developed a clinically driven electronic management software
system that resolves documented clinical problems within the various targeted
provider disciplines. The software will function in a secure environment on a
variety of operating platforms. Finally, CyBear will feature a decision tree
support mechanism that relies on artificial intelligence technology to
electronically assist the physician in complex patient care decisions.

         Implementation of its marketing strategy will permit CyBear to bypass
historical industry distribution obstacles. CyBear's ISP service will provide
the physicians with medical-based content as part of the base Internet
connection fee with additional, more specific content available on a
subscription basis. This product will provide a proof of concept for CyBear's
network and also a broad base of physician users connecting to the Internet
through CyBearNet. In parallel with the ISP service, CyBear will be marketing
and installing CyBear Rx, its Electronic Prescription Management product,
designed for use in physician office based practices. The system automates and
regulates the flow of prescription information from physician to pharmacy to
MCO. It features formulary compliance based on managed care approved
formularies, prospective Drug Utilization Review and electronic prescription
transmittal. The system prompts the physician in product selection with generic
and therapeutic substitutions, formulary compliance and preferred product
alternatives.

                                       44

<PAGE>

         CyBear intends to follow its introduction of CyBear Rx with scheduled
releases of the remaining components of its integrated software management
system: CyBear Lab, CyBear Referral, CyBear Patient Encounter and CyBear
Hospital Admissions. The Company anticipates that the acceptance and adoption of
the CyBear system by the medical community will position CyBear as a premier
provider of healthcare integrated data communication services.

MARKETING

         CyBear intends to use managed care's demand for immediate information
access, on-line communication and control of the physician provider to market
its product system at the provider level. CyBear will focus its marketing
strategy on selected targets within the managed care arena, which will permit
the maximum product penetration with a minimum investment of resources. The
criteria for identification as primary targets include a high probability of
conversion and a high probability of successful distribution to and utilization
by the physician provider network.

         CYBEARNET. The Company has developed an ambitious strategy to utilize
both internal and external resources to develop CyBearNet into a clear and
unique brand identity. A consistent image is a key component to the success of
this strategy because of the highly competitive nature of the ISP market. The
Company believes that the marketing image combined with 'world-class' content
will, to a great extent, determine its early success or failure. In order to
accomplish the Company's ambitious market penetration objectives, CyBearNet
requires an aggressive promotional strategy that will very quickly develop a
presence for CyBearNet within the medical community.

         With over 600,000 physicians in practice, the target market is broad by
design. The Company believes that CyBearNet offers value for physicians who are
in single practices as well as the large provider organizations that are growing
to serve the needs of managed care. In order to achieve the highest possible
market penetration, early focus will be on those groups that are responsible for
large groups of physicians. A list of early targets includes PPMs, IPAs, MSOs,
large group practices and PHOs.

         The Company's promotional strategy is planned to include journal
advertising, Web advertising, direct mailing, trade show visibility,
telemarketing, market relationships, business partnerships and direct selling
activity. The promotional budget will be heavily weighted towards the first half
of the launch campaign in order to get the name recognition and user trials
required in this market. Media spending is anticipated to begin in the second
half of 1998 and ramp up quickly.

         CONNECTIVITY PRODUCTS. CyBear intends to capitalize on the growing,
managed care driven, consolidation of physicians and other healthcare providers
and their need for management information and point-of-care decision support to
propel acceptance at the provider level. Organizations such as PPMs, IPAs, MSOs
and PHOs are able to exert considerable influence on a core percentage of their
network physician providers, especially as they engage in managed care contracts
that include financial risk. The pursuit of capitated ,or at-risk agreements
from managed care by physicians and provider organizations is a growing trend,
with seventy eight percent (78%) of all managed care provider contracts
involving the assumption of full or partial financial risk.

                                       45

<PAGE>

         In a capitated environment, the greatest downside exposure occurs in
two areas; out of network referrals, and non-compliance with the prescription
formulary. CyBear technologies will help to manage both of these challenges at
the point-of-care, and will give the Provider some measure of "proxy" control.
Profitability in managed care is dependent upon controlling costs, while
maintaining access and quality care. This will be achievable only when reliable
data is obtainable and usable as a prospective management tool. CyBear
technologies will allow Providers to manage risk more effectively, and give
management groups the ability to both access the management information they
need and the ability to influence healthcare decision making prospectively.

         CyBear technologies will create a unique opportunity to collect
therapeutic, diagnostic, referral, prescribing, utilization, and quality data
essential to the management process. More importantly, the collection of this
data will be done as part of the normal workflow and healthcare delivery. This
type of data has significant value to a variety of potential users, including
pharmaceutical manufacturers, MCOs, PBMs, academicians, researchers, PPMs, and
health care consulting firms. CyBear, in concert with its function as a data
manager and communicator, will also act as a data warehouse, allowing for
virtually real-time analysis. This will greatly enhance the ability of each
healthcare organization to manage to a successful outcome, and the sale of
non-confidential healthcare data represents a significant opportunity to
generate incremental revenue.

         CyBear will also focus its marketing strategy on MCOs and selected
targets within the managed care arena, which supports the objective of maximum
product penetration with a minimum investment of resources. The criteria for
identification as primary targets include a high probability of conversion and a
high probability of successful distribution to and utilization by the physician
provider network.

         MCOs that contract out provision services have an immediate need for
the efficiencies that CyBear will offer to the administrative process. These
types of MCOs include Group Model, Network, and Mixed Model HMOs. In this
segment CyBear will be positioned as an alternative to redundant administrative
processes, and the manual keying of data. CyBear's ability to collect and manage
data at the point-of-care may theoretically give Payors access to a new set of
data points that may offer significant value to their business.

         CyBear will offer pharmacy operations two important benefits; reduced
administrative cost per script, and access to unique data points. Since the use
of CyBear technologies will prospectively manage prescriptions for DUR and
formulary edits, pharmacies will be assured of receiving a prescription that can
be reimbursed by Payors, without tying up employees with unnecessary
administrative time. In addition, pharmacies have traditionally been limited to
the data provided on a paper based prescription, such as the patient name,
possibly a diagnosis code, prescription and dosing. With CyBear, it will be
possible to provide a much broader range of statistical data, including
demographic (excluding information protected by patient confidentiality
regulations and devices), ICD-9 diagnosis code, drug utilization, patient
profiles, etc. This data will benefit the pharmacy operationally, by allowing
them to understand their market and physician utilization, and can also provide
them with a revenue stream through data sales.

DEVELOPMENT

         Approximately 67% of the Company's present employees are involved with
product development. The Company's development activities include new product
development, product updates and enhancement of existing products. A substantial
majority of the Company's development expenses have been incurred in connection
with new product development. The Company's development expenses through March
31, 1998 were approximately $2,000,000.

COMPETITION

         The Company's competitors include healthcare information companies and
large data processing and information companies. Many of these competitors have
substantial installed customer bases in the healthcare industry and the ability
to fund significant product development and acquisition efforts. The Company
believes that the principal competitive factors in its market are clinical
credibility and integrity and product innovation. These factors address both
customer needs for cost containment tools and increasing industry concerns about
quality control. Other important competitive factors include product reputation
and reliability, system features, client service, price, and the effectiveness
of marketing and sales efforts. Based on historical performance, the Company
believes it competes favorably with respect to each of these factors. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive with respect
to any individual factor or combination thereof.

         The Company expects that as other competitors enter the market, there
may be downward pressure on transaction fees, particularly for CyBear Rx.

         The Company faces competition from other HCIS companies and other
specialty technology companies. Many of the Company's competitors are
significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the Company. The
area of healthcare EDI transaction networks has been targeted by many companies.
The Company is also aware that other EDI transaction processing companies have
targeted this industry as a growth market, which could in the future utilize
their networks to process electronic healthcare EDI transactions. Certain of
these companies have announced pilot programs. The Company believes that the
competition it faces and will face in the foreseeable future will be based
primarily on product/service quality, customer support and marketing. The
Company believes that its products and services are more advanced than the
competing products and services currently available because the Company's
clinical EDI products and services have been developed and enhanced through
actual utilization by physicians, pharmacies and labs over the past four years.
The Company believes that its ability to compete successfully in the HCIS market
will depend upon its ability to offer a variety of integrated products and
services and to implement sales and marketing strategies which brings its
products and services to the attention of its potential customer base.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND HEALTHCARE REFORM

         The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic and
regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and operation of
healthcare organizations. The Company's products are designed to function within
the structure of the healthcare financing and reimbursement system currently
being used in the United States. During the past several years, the healthcare
industry has been subject to an increase in governmental regulation of, among
other things, reimbursement rates.

                                       47

<PAGE>

Proposals to reform the U.S. healthcare system have been and will continue to be
considered by the U.S. Congress. These programs may contain proposals to
increase governmental involvement in healthcare and otherwise change the
operating environment for the Company's customers. Healthcare organizations may
react to these proposals and the uncertainty surrounding such proposals by
curtailing or deferring investments, including those for the Company's products.
On the other hand, changes in the regulatory environment have in the past
increased and may continue to increase the needs of healthcare organizations for
cost-effective information management and thereby enhance the marketability of
the Company's products and services. The Company cannot predict with any
certainty what impact, if any, such proposals or healthcare reforms might have
on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and business.

         The Company's products and services are not directly subject to
governmental regulations, although the user base is subject to extensive and
frequently changing federal and state laws and regulations. A primary feature of
the Company's products and services is the ability to electronically transmit
(either by computer-to-facsimile or computer-to-computer) prescriptions from a
doctor's office to a pharmacy. The ability of a pharmacist to fill an
electronically transmitted prescription is governed by federal and state law.
The United States Drug Enforcement Agency ("DEA") oversees the handling of
certain classes of drugs called "controlled substances." The United States
Congress has approved the dispensing of prescriptions transmitted via facsimile
of original, signed prescriptions for controlled substances other than for
Schedule II drugs (narcotics). Neither Congress nor the DEA has specifically
addressed electronic transmission of computer-generated prescriptions for
controlled substances. No assurance can be given that Congress or the DEA will
accept this method of transmitting prescriptions for controlled substances in
the future.

         Other state laws which may affect the Company's ability to market in
certain states include certain state requirements that require licensure as
either a doctor or a pharmacy in order for a third party to send or receive a
prescription. A common carrier, such as a telephone company, is often excluded
from such requirements. The Company's ability to market in such states would
depend upon each state's willingness to deem the Company to be a common carrier
of such prescriptions, the assurance of which cannot be given.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

         The Company considers its methodologies, computer software and
knowledge bases to be proprietary. The Company seeks to protect its proprietary
information through nondisclosure agreements with its employees. The Company's
policy is to have employees enter into nondisclosure agreements containing
provisions prohibiting the disclosure of confidential information to anyone
outside the Company, requiring disclosure to the Company of any new ideas,
developments, discoveries or inventions conceived during employment, and
requiring assignment to the Company of proprietary rights to such matters that
are related to the Company's business.

         The Company also relies on a combination of trade secrets, copyright
and trademark laws, contractual provisions and technical measures to protect its
rights in various methodologies, systems and products and knowledge bases. The
Company believes that because of the rapid pace of technological change in the
EDI industry, trade


                                       48
<PAGE>

secret and copyright protection are less significant than factors such as the
knowledge, ability, experience and integrity of the Company's employees,
frequent product enhancements and the timeliness and quality of support
services.

         The Company has filed one patent application and two copyright
applications relating to its software technology and has obtained trademark
protection for the name CyBear. Any infringement or misappropriation of the
Company's intellectual property rights would disadvantage the Company in its
efforts to retain and attract new customers in a highly competitive market and
could cause the Company to lose revenues or incur substantial litigation
expense.

         Although the Company believes that its products do not infringe on the
intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that such a
claim will not be asserted against the Company in the future. If asserted, such
a claim could cause the Company to lose revenues or incur substantial litigation
expense.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On March 18, 1998, Andrx received a letter from counsel for Medix and
its subsidiary Cymedix alleging the theft and unlawful appropriation by the
Company, Andrx, and certain directors, officers and employees the company and of
Andrx of certain computer medical software and internet medical communications
technology allegedly owned by Cymedix. The letter demands trebled damages
totaling $396.6 million pursuant to the civil theft provisions of Florida law,
and also alleges claims under Florida's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organization Act and certain other provisions of federal and state law. The
Company and Andrx believe that Medix's and Cymedix's accusations and threatened
claims have no basis in substantial fact or legal support and on March 23, 1998,
the Company and Andrx filed a complaint against Medix and Cymedix for libel and
slander arising from the improper public dissemination of the contents of the
aforesaid demand letter with respect to each of the matters set forth in the
aforesaid demand letter. The Company and Andrx intend to vigorously prosecute
their complaints, which seek damages, costs, interest and attorneys' fees. On
June 2, 1998 Medix, on behalf of Cymedix, filed a complaint against CyBear,
Andrx and certain CyBear and Andrx directors, officers and employees alleging
the theft and unlawful appropriation of Cymedix' computer medical software for
remote online healthcare Providers and Cymedix' Internet medical communications
technology allegedly owned by Cymedix. Medix is seeking treble damages totaling
$396 million. The Company and Andrx believe that Medix's suit has no basis in
substantial fact or legal support and is without merit, and intend to vigorously
defend themselves against these claims. From time to time, the Company may be
involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the
normal course of business. Except for the matter disclosed above, the Company
is not currently a party to any other legal proceeding, the adverse outcome of
which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.

PROPERTIES

         The Company currently leases approximately 5,725 square feet of space
in Tampa, Florida, for its software development staff, pursuant to two leases
expiring in November 1998, with two one-year renewal options, at a current total
annual rent of approximately $95,000. The balance of the Company's employees
currently operate out of Andrx's facilities in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The
Company is presently evaluating various properties in the Fort Lauderdale,
Florida area, to house its selling, general and administrative operations.

EMPLOYEES

         As of July 15, 1998, the Company had 39 full-time employees. None of
such employees are members of a labor union and the Company considers its
relationship with its employees to be good.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

         CyBear's 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") currently authorizes the
award of up to 1,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan
as adjusted for stock dividends and splits) of Common Stock in the form of stock
options. As of July 20, 1998, stock options to purchase 416,500 shares of Common
Stock were outstanding under the Plan. Accordingly, 583,500 shares of Common
Stock are available for future awards under the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is
to enable the Company to attract and retain qualified and competent employees
and to enable such persons to participate in the long-term success and growth of
the Company by giving them an equity interest in the Company, and to enable the
Company to pay all or part of the compensation of the directors of the Company
other than a director who is an officer or employee of the Company (each, an
"Outside Director"), consultants and advisors with options to purchase shares of
the Company's Common Stock, thereby increasing such person' proprietary interest
in the Company.

         All employees of the Company are eligible to be granted awards under
the Plan. Consultants of and advisors to the Company are eligible to be granted
awards under the Plan if their services (such services being the "Participation
Status") are of a continuing nature or otherwise contribute to the long-term
success and growth of the Company.

                                       53

<PAGE>

Section 15 of the Plan governs awards to be made to Outside Directors. The
participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the
Compensation Committee (the "Committee"), in its sole discretion, from among
those eligible.

         The Plan is administered by the Committee or such other committee of
directors as the Board shall designate. The Committee makes all decisions or
determinations by either a majority vote of its members at a meeting or by the
unanimous written approval of its members. The Committee may adopt, alter or
repeal any administrative rules, guidelines and practices for carrying out the
purposes of the Plan, and its determination, interpretation and construction of
any provision of the Plan are final and conclusive. The Committee has the right
to determine, among other things, the persons to whom awards are granted, the
terms and conditions of any awards granted, the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by the awards, the exercise price of options and the term thereof.

         The exercise price, term and exercise period of each stock option shall
be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the fixed option
price, no incentive stock option shall (i) have an option price which is less

                              CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

1997 CORP.

         None of 1997 Corp.'s directors or officers is required to commit his
full time to the affairs of 1997 Corp. and it is likely that such persons will
not devote a substantial amount of time to the affairs of 1997 Corp. Such
personnel will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among
various business activities. As a result, the consummation of a Business
Combination may require a greater period of time than if 1997 Corp.'s management
devoted their full time to 1997 Corp.'s affairs. However, each officer and
director of 1997 Corp will devote such time as he deems reasonably necessary to
carry out the business and affairs of 1997 Corp., including the evaluation of
potential Target Businesses and the negotiation of a Business Combination and,
as a result, the amount of time devoted to the business and affairs of 1997
Corp. may vary significantly depending upon, among other things, whether 1997
Corp. has identified a Target Business or is engaged in active negotiation of a
Business Combination. Prior to their involvement with 1997 Corp. none of the
directors or officers of 1997 Corp. has been involved in any "blank check"
offerings. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing conflicts will be
resolved in favor of 1997 Corp.


         In connection with any stockholder vote relating either to approval of
a Business Combination or the liquidation of 1997 Corp. due to the failure of
1997 Corp. to effect a Business Combination within the time allowed, all of 1997
Corp.'s present stockholders, including all of its officers and directors (and
any stockholders who are affiliated with its officers and directors), have
agreed to vote all of their respective shares of Common Stock in accordance with
the vote of the majority of the shares voted by all non-affiliated public
stockholders of 1997 Corp. (in person or by proxy) with respect to such Business
Combination or liquidation.

See "Certain Transactions--CyBear."


                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

1997 CORP.

         In March 1997, 1997 Corp. issued 10,000 shares of Common Stock to
Richard L. Campbell and 5,000 shares of Common Stock to Judith S. Haselton. Mr.
Campbell paid $1.00 per share for his shares and Ms. Haselton paid $2.00 per
share for her shares. Mr. Campbell is special counsel to Epstein Becker & Green,
P.C., counsel to 1997 Corp.


CYBEAR

         Messrs. Cohen, Lodin and Malahias are executive officers of Andrx and
none of such persons are required to commit his full time to the affairs of the
Company and it is likely that such persons will not devote a substantial amount
of time to the affairs of the Company. Such personnel may have conflicts of
interest in allocating management time among various business activities. Since
its inception in February 1997, Andrx has funded substantially all of CyBear's
operations through loans, which as of March 31, 1998 were $1,935,629. Such
advances will be contributed to CyBear as additional paid-in capital upon the
consummation of certain transactions, including but not limited to, the Merger.
Andrx and CyBear have entered into a corporate services agreement pursuant to
which Andrx provides certain financial and administrative services and office
space to CyBear in exchange for $120,000 per annum. Andrx and CyBear have also
entered into a tax allocation agreement pursuant to which CyBear will be
responsible for its tax liability as if it had filed a separate income tax
return. In the future, the independent directors of CyBear will approve any
transactions between Andrx and CyBear.

                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

1997 CORP.

COMMON STOCK

         1997 Corp. is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share. As a condition to the Merger, 1997 Corp. will be
required to amend their Certificate of Incorporation to provide for 25,000,000
authorized shares. As of the date of this Prospectus, 45,000 shares of Common
Stock are outstanding, held of record by 133 persons. The holders of Common
Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to
be voted on by stockholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the
election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. The
holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of the funds legally available therefor.
Subject to the requirements of Rule 419, in the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of 1997 Corp., the holders of Common Stock are
entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution
after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of
stock, if any, having preference over the Common Stock. Holders of shares of
Common Stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription
rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Common Stock.
All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares of Common
Stock to be issued, will be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.


PREFERRED STOCK

         1997 Corp.'s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of
2,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Preferred Stock"), with such designations, powers, preferences, rights,
qualifications, limitations and restrictions and in such series as the Board of
Directors, subject to the laws of the State of Delaware, may determine from time
to time. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder
approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion,
voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other
rights of the holders of Common Stock. The Preferred Stock could be utilized,
under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing
a change in control of 1997 Corp. No shares of Preferred Stock are currently
outstanding. Although 1997 Corp. does not currently intend to issue any shares
of Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that 1997 Corp. will not do so in
the future.


DIVIDENDS

         1997 Corp. does not expect to pay dividends prior to the consummation
of a Business Combination. Future dividends, if any, will be contingent upon
1997 Corp.'s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general
financial condition subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination.
The payment of dividends subsequent to the consummation of a Business
Combination will be within the discretion of 1997 Corp.'s then Board of
Directors. 1997 Corp presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use
in 1997 Corp.'s business operations and accordingly, the Board does not
anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

                         SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

         Upon the consummation of the Merger, 1997 Corp. will have 13,265,306
shares of Common Stock outstanding, 13,088,435 of which shares will be deemed
restricted securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as
such shares were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering.
Such shares will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 in January 1999 as to
88,435 shares and October 2000 as to 13,000,000 shares.

         In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, subject to the
satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person, including an affiliate of
1997 Corp. (or persons whose shares are aggregated), who has beneficially owned
the restricted shares of Common Stock to be sold for at least one year is
entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does
not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the
same class or, if the Common Stock is quoted on an exchange or NASDAQ, the
average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale.
A person who has not been an affiliate of the Company for at least the three
months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned the shares
of Common Stock to be sold for at least two years is entitled to sell such
shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the limitations described above.

         Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock
and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales or
restricted shares of Common Stock of the availability of such shares for sale
will have on the market prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the
possibility that substantial amounts of common Stock may be sold in the public
market would likely adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common
Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the sale
of its equity securities.


PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

         The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the Common Stock of 1997 Corp. after the consummation of
the Merger, and beneficially by each person owning more than 5% of such common
shares and by all officers and directors, as a group.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of 1997 Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of 1997 Corp., as of December 31,
1997, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the period
from March 17, 1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As explained in Note 4 to the financial statements, all proceeds held in escrow
will be returned to the public investors and the related stock certificates will
be cancelled if a business combination has not been approved by the shareholders
by October 24, 1998.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of 1997 Corp. as of December 31,
1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from
March 17, 1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 1997 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.


                                                        Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.

1997 Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements



1.       ORGANIZATION:

         1997 Corp. (the "Company"), was incorporated in the state of Delaware
         on March 17, 1997. During 1997, the Company had a "blank check"
         offering subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 419
         of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933. It intends to serve
         as a vehicle to effect a business combination with a target business
         which will be an operating business (not yet identified). The Company
         intends to utilize the net proceeds from an offering of equity
         securities, debt securities, bank and other borrowing or a combination
         thereof in effecting a business combination. All activity of the
         Company to date has been related to its formation, financing, and
         review of various businesses for acquisition by the Company.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
         The Company considers investments in highly liquid debt instruments
         with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
         equivalents.

         BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
         Basic and diluted loss per share is based on the number of shares of
         common stock outstanding during the period.

         INCOME TAXES
         Under the balance sheet-based liability method specified by Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
         Taxes", ("SFAS 109"), deferred tax assets and liabilities are
         determined based on the difference between the financial statement and
         tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax
         rates which will be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company
         records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the
         amount expected to be realized.

         UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         The interim financial statements as of March 31, 1998 and for the three
         months ended March 31, 1998 are unaudited. In the opinion of
         management, such unaudited financial statements have been prepared by
         1997 Corp. pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
         Exchange Commission. The unaudited financial statements reflect, in the
         opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only
         normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's
         financial position and results of operations. The results of operations
         and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998, are not
         necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which
         may be expected for the remainder of 1998.

3.       CASH HELD IN ESCROW:

         Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company ("Continental") is holding
         the public offering proceeds and the stock certificates of the public
         investors in escrow pursuant to Rule 419 of the Rules and Regulations
         of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Continental will hold the
         proceeds and the stock certificates pursuant to Rule 419 until the
         approval of a business combination by the shareholders. If a business
         combination has not been approved by the shareholders by October 24,
         1998 all proceeds will be returned to the public investors and the
         stock certificates will be cancelled.

4.       REDEEMABLE STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

         During 1997, the Company raised $155,050, net of offering costs of
         $14,950 by offering 45,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock.
         Included within the 45,000 shares issued, 15,000 shares were issued to
         management at prices ranging from $1-$2 per share. The remaining 30,000
         shares were issued in conjunction with the "blank check" offering at a
         price of $5 per share.

                                      F-6

1997 Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements


         A $55,000 charge to income as compensation expense was incurred as a
         result of the Company issuing stock to management at less than fair
         value. Fair value is based on the per share "blank check" offering
         price of $5 per share.

5.       INCOME TAXES:

         As of December 31, 1997, the Company's net operating loss for tax
         purposes will differ from the loss for financial reporting purposes as
         a result of certain costs being capitalized and expensed over a
         five-year period for tax purposes.

         Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets as of
         December 31, 1997 are a result of temporary differences related to the
         item described as follows:

                                                                DEFERRED
                                                               TAX ASSETS

              Organizational costs                          $            56,067

              Valuation allowance                                       (56,067)
                                                             ------------------
                                                            $                 0
                                                             ==================

         Due to the uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax asset, a
         full valuation allowance has been provided of the net deferred tax
         asset.

6.       PROPOSED OFFERING:

         In March 1998, the Company is in discussion with a target business
         regarding the possible acquisition of all of the outstanding capital
         stock of that target business. In addition, the Company is
         contemplating raising additional capital through a private placement
         offering of approximately $5,000,000.

         UPDATE (UNAUDITED):

         The acquisition of the initial target business and proposed offering as
         described above, is no longer contemplated. Subsequent to March 1998,
         the Company is in discussions with another target business regarding
         the possible acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of
         that other target business.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997 (INCEPTION)
                              TO DECEMBER 31, 1997


           UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
                    1998 AND THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997
                          (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 1997


(1)  GENERAL

         CyBear, Inc. ("CyBear" or the "Company"), a Florida corporation in the
development stage, was incorporated on February 5, 1997. CyBear, Inc. is a 99%
owned subsidiary of Andrx Corporation ("Andrx"). CyBear is a healthcare
communications technology company developing technology and products that will
address communication and information problems within the healthcare community.
The Company is developing a suite of Internet-based productivity software
applications and communication networks for the healthcare industry. These
connectivity products will feature electronic management tools for
prescriptions, patient referrals, laboratory test submission and reporting,
hospital admissions, and other healthcare related activities. In addition,
CyBear will also market a healthcare Internet service provider ("ISP") for the
healthcare community. From February 5, 1997 (inception) through December 31,
1997, the Company's principal activities have consisted of developing its
products and providing software development services to Andrx.

MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

         From February 5, 1997 (inception) through March 31, 1998, the Company
has incurred a net loss of $2,121,145 and has been dependent upon funding from
Andrx. Management anticipates incurring additional net losses in the near term,
as the focus of the Company's business is to develop its products. Andrx is
committed to the required funding of the Company's future operations.

         The Company has not yet completed third-party testing of the basic
connectivity product platform or the development or testing of certain system
enhancements. The Company will be required to commit considerable time, effort
and resources to finalize such development and adapt its software to satisfy
specific requirements of potential customers. CyBear's planned ISP is in the
early stages of development and will require substantial resources prior to its
commercial introduction.

         The likelihood of the success of the Company must be considered in
light of the problems, expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered
in connection with the development of new business ventures. CyBear's business
risks include its limited operating history, the emerging and competitive nature
of its markets, the rapid technology change in its industry, changes in
government regulations, dependence on network infrastructure and
telecommunications carriers, dependence on a limited number of key personnel and
market acceptance and profitability of its products. In addition, the Company
utilizes software and related technologies throughout its businesses that may be
affected by the date change in the year 2000. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the full scope and related costs to insure that its systems,
third-party software and technologies it utilizes will not be affected by the
date change in the year 2000. At this time, the expenses associated with this
assessment and potential remediation plan cannot be determined.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997 (INCEPTION)
                              TO DECEMBER 31, 1997


           UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
                    1998 AND THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997
                          (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 1997

(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

         Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation or amortization. Depreciation or amortization is provided using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

     Computer hardware and software      3 years
     Furniture and fixtures              5 years
     Leasehold improvements              Lesser of useful life or term of lease


         Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred.

SOFTWARE LICENSE

         CyBear has entered into an agreement with a third party to license the
use of their software to be utilized in the Company's Internet-based software
applications at a minimum of 600 customer sites for an unlimited period of time.
The license is capitalized and will be amortized on a per site basis using the
straight-line method over an estimated life of three years from the date of
installation of such software applications at customer sites. As of December 31,
1997, there had not been any site installations and, accordingly, no
amortization expense was recorded.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF

         The Company utilizes the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") Statement on Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of" which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. To determine a loss, if any, to be

                         (A DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE COMPANY)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997 (INCEPTION)
                              TO DECEMBER 31, 1997


           UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
                    1998 AND THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997
                          (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 1997

recognized, the book value of the asset would be compared to the market value or
expected future cash flow value. Such provisions had no impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations as of or for the period from
February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Software development service revenues which to date have been rendered
to Andrx are recognized at the time the services are rendered.


SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

         SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased or Otherwise Marketed", requires capitalization of certain software
development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility.
Based on the Company's product development process, technological feasibility is
established upon completion of a working model. The Company has not yet achieved
technological feasibility for its products and as such, all costs related to
software development were expensed as incurred.

START-UP COSTS

         All costs to organize the Company and start up its operations are
expensed as incurred.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

         Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", companies can either measure the compensation cost of equity
instruments issued to employees under employee compensation plans using a fair
value based method, or can continue to recognize compensation cost using the
intrinsic value method under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion ("APB") No. 25. However, if the provisions of APB No. 25 are applied,
pro forma disclosures of net income or loss and earnings or loss per share must
be presented in the financial statements as if the fair value method had been
applied. For the period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997,
the Company recognized compensation costs for options granted to non-employees
under the provisions of APB No. 25, and the Company has provided the expanded
disclosure required by SFAS No. 123 (See Note 8).

INCOME TAXES

         The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". The provisions of SFAS No. 109 require, among
other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates
attributable to the deductible temporary differences between the financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to tax net
operating loss carryforwards to the extent that the realization of said benefits
is "more likely than

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FOR THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997 (INCEPTION)
                              TO DECEMBER 31, 1997


           UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
                    1998 AND THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997

not". The Company's taxable results are included in the consolidated income tax
return of Andrx (see Note 4).

NET LOSS PER SHARE

         In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
SFAS No. 128 supersedes APB No. 15, "Earnings Per Share", and specifies the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings or loss per
share. The provisions of SFAS No. 128 are effective for financial statements for
periods ended after December 15, 1997. The Company has adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 128.

         For the period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997,
basic and diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Since the effect of common stock equivalents
was antidilutive, all such equivalents were excluded in diluted loss per share.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The carrying amount of due to Andrx approximates fair value due to the
short maturity of this instrument.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", was issued by the FASB
in June 1997. This Statement requires that all items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
other financial statements. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
130 as of January 1, 1998. The adoption of the provisions of this standard did
not have a material impact on the Company's existing reporting disclosures.
CyBear's comprehensive losses and net losses are the same for all periods
presented.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

         SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information", was issued by the FASB in June 1997. This Statement establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The Company will adopt the provisions of
SFAS No. 131 for the year ending December 31, 1998. The adoption of the
provisions of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's
existing reporting disclosures.

           UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
                    1998 AND THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 5, 1997
                          (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 1997

DERIVATIVES

         SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" was issued by the FASB in June 1998. SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and
losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and
requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the
effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

         SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. A company may also implement the provision of the SFAS No. 133 Statement
as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after issuance. SFAS No. 133 cannot be
applied retroactively. SFAS No. 133 must be applied to (a) derivative
instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts
that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997
(and, at the company's election, before January 1, 1998).

The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its
financial statements and have not determined the timing of or method of our
adoption of SFAS No. 133.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The interim financial statements as of March 31, 1998, for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, for the period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to
March 31, 1997 and for the cumulative period from February 5, 1997 (inception)
to March 31, 1998 and all related footnote information are unaudited. In the
opinion of management, such unaudited financial statements have been prepared by
CyBear pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The unaudited financial statements reflect, in the opinion of
management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and
results of operations. The results of operations and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31,1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations or cash flows which may be expected for the remainder of 1998.

(4)  INCOME TAXES

         For the period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997,
the Company was not required to provide for federal or state income taxes due to
its net loss. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, the Company has provided a
valuation allowance to reserve against 100% of its net operating loss
carryforwards. The Company's taxable results are included in the consolidated
income tax return of Andrx. The Company and Andrx have a tax allocation
agreement that provides, among other things, for the allocation of federal
income tax liabilities to the Company at the approximate amounts which would
have been computed as if the Company had filed separate tax returns. As of
December 31, 1997, for financial reporting purposes and federal income tax
purposes, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$1million, which if not utilized, will expire in 2012. Net operating loss
carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustments by the Internal
Revenue Service and may be limited in the event of certain cumulative changes in
the ownership interest of significant shareholders over a three-year period in
excess of 50%.

(5)  COMMITMENTS

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

         In July 1997, the Company entered into a one-year semi-exclusive
license agreement with the owner of a software application whereby the Company
has agreed to pay the owner an initial up front fee of $100,000 and sliding fees
per site ranging from $40 to $500 based on the number of sites and software
version installed. Such sliding fees are subject to a minimum disbursement of
$5,000 per month. As of December 31, 1997, there were no site installations. For
the period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997, the Company
has capitalized $160,000 under this agreement of which $130,000 was paid.

                          (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 1997

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

         The Company has entered into an employment contract with the Company's
Vice President of Technical Development. The contract provides for an annual
base salary, plus stock options, plus a royalty equal to 2% of the net revenue
derived by the Company from the sale, lease or licensing of its software
applications, payable quarterly, provided that the Vice President of Technical
Development remains an employee at the time each such royalty payment is due.

PRODUCT LIABILITY

         Software products such as those offered by the Company frequently
contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new versions
are released. Testing of the Company's products is particularly challenging
because it is difficult to simulate the wide variety of computing environments
in which the Company's potential customers may deploy these products. There can
be no assurance that defects, errors or difficulties will not cause delays in
product introductions, result in increased costs and diversion of development
resources, require design modifications or decrease market acceptance or
customer satisfaction with the Company's products. In addition, there can be no
assurance that, despite testing by the Company and by potential customers,
errors will not be found after commencement of commercial introduction,
resulting in loss of or delay in market acceptance, which could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition.

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The Company and Andrx have a corporate services agreement whereby Andrx
provides the Company with various services of its management such as executive
management, accounting and finance, legal, payroll and human resources. For the
period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997, the Company
incurred amounts for these services based upon mutually agreed upon allocation
methods. Management believes that the amounts incurred for these services
approximate fair market value. Costs for such services were $110,000 for the
period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997.

         From February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997, the Company
provided Andrx with software development services. The Company charged Andrx
based on mutually agreed upon allocation methods. Software development services
charged to Andrx were $95,927 for the period from February 5, 1997 (inception)
to December 31, 1997.

         In February 1997, Andrx entered into an agreement with Group One
Enterprises, Inc. ("Group One"), a shareholder of the Company, whereby Group One
agreed to provide certain consulting services to the Company. The agreement with
Group One was terminated in 1997.

                          (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 1997

Costs incurred for services provided by Group One were $68,000 for the period
from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997.

         Due to Andrx on the accompanying balance sheets represents advances
from Andrx to fund the Company's operations and the related accrued interest.
Such advances bear interest at prime (8.5% at December 31, 1997) plus 1/2% and
will be contributed as additional paid-in capital to the Company upon the
consummation of certain transactions, including but not limited to, a merger.
The Company recorded $28,220 in interest expense on these advances for the
period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997. As of December
31, 1997, the Company has paid no any interest expense on the "Due to Andrx".

         The Company and Andrx have a tax allocation agreement that provides,
among other things, for the allocation of federal income tax liabilities to the
Company at the approximate amounts which would have been computed as if the
Company had filed separate tax returns.


(7) CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

         In February 1997, the Company issued 130,000 shares of convertible
preferred stock to Group One for a promissory note of $30,000. The fair value of
the convertible preferred stock was $0.23 per share as determined by the
Company's Board of Directors. As of December 31, 1997, the promissory note was
paid in full. The preferred stock issued had the same voting and dividend rights
as the common stock but had a liquidation preference and was convertible into
common stock of the Company on a one-fo one basis if the consulting agreement
with Group One was terminated before an initial public offering. The agreement
with Group One was terminated in 1997 and the 130,000 shares of preferred stock
were converted into 130,000 shares of common stock.

(8)  STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

         The Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of its common stock for
issuance under its 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan,
incentive and nonqualified stock options are available to directors, officers,
employees or consultants to the Company. The terms of each option agreement are
determined by the Company's Board of Directors or its compensation committee
(the "Committee"). The terms for, and exercise price at which any stock option
may be awarded is to be determined by the Committee. Options granted under the
Plan must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant, unless a shorter
period is designated at the time of grant. Options granted in 1997 vest ratably
over a four year period.

         The Company accounts for options granted to employees under the Plan in
accordance with the provisions of APB No. 25. Each stock option has an exercise
price equal to the market price on the date of grant and, accordingly, no
compensation expense has been recorded for any stock option grants to employees.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options been

based on fair value at the grant dates consistent with the methodologies of SFAS
No. 123, the Company's pro forma basic and diluted net loss and basic and
diluted net loss per share would have been $1,590,717 and $0.12, respectively
for the period from February 5, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997.

         The weighted average fair market value per share as of the grant date
was $0.70 for stock options granted during 1997. The fair value of each option
grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions: expected volatility of 75%; risk-free interest rate of
5.3%; no expected dividends; and expected lives of options of 6.0 years.

(9)  LITIGATION

         On March 18, 1998, Andrx received a letter from counsel for Medix
Resources, Inc. ("Medix") and its subsidiary, Cymedix Lynx Corporation
("Cymedix") alleging the theft and unlawful appropriation by Andrx, the Company,
and certain directors, officers and employees of the Company and Andrx of
certain computer medical software and internet medical communications technology
allegedly owned by Cymedix. The letter demands trebled damages totaling $396.6
million pursuant to the civil theft provisions of Florida law, and also alleges
claims under Florida's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act and
certain other provisions of federal and state law. The Company and Andrx believe
that Medix's and Cymedix's accusations and threatened claims have no basis in
substantial fact or legal support and on March 23, 1998, the Company and Andrx
filed a complaint against Medix and Cymedix for libel and slander arising from
the improper public dissemination of the contents of the aforesaid demand letter
with respect to each of the matters set forth in the aforesaid demand letter.
The Company and Andrx intend to vigorously prosecute their complaints, which
seek damages, costs, interest and attorneys' fees. On June 2, 1998 Medix, on
behalf of Cymedix, filed a complaint against the Company , Andrx and certain
Company and CyBear directors, officers and employees alleging the theft and
unlawful appropriation of Cymedix' computer medical software for remote online
healthcare Providers and Cymedix' Internet medical communications technology
allegedly owned by Cymedix. Cymedix is seeking treble damages totaling $396
million. The Company and

                          (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31, 1997

Andrx believe that Cymedix's suit has no basis in substantial fact or legal
support and is without merit, and intend to vigorously defend themselves against
these claims. The Company and Andrx believe that the outcome of this lawsuit
will not be material to their results of operations and financial positions.

         From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating
to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. Except
for the matter disclosed above, the Company is not currently a party to any
other legal proceeding, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

ITEM 24.          INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         1997 Corp. is incorporated in Delaware. Under Section 145 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, a Delaware corporation has the
power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers,
employees and agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought
against them by a third party or in the right of the corporation, by reason of
the fact that they were or are such directors, officers, employees or agents,
against expenses incurred in any action, suit or proceeding. Article Tenth of
the Certificate of Incorporation and Article III of the Bylaws of 1997 Corp.
provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Reference is
made to the Certificate of Incorporation of 1997 Corp., filed as Exhibit 3.1
hereto.


         Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 (relating to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions
of, or dividends on, capital stock) of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. Article Ninth of 1997 Corp.'s Certificate of
Incorporation contains such a provision.

ITEM 28.          UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes:

                  (a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                           (i) To include any prospectus required by section
                  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                  arising after the effective date of the registration statement
                  (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
                  individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                  change in the information set forth in the registration
                  statement;

                           (iii) To include any material information with
                  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
                  in the registration statement or any material change to such
                  information in the registration statement;

                  (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat
         each post-effective amendment as new registration statement of the
         securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to
         be the initial bona fide offering.

                  (3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from
         registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of an
         offering.

                                      II-2

<PAGE>

                  (b) The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes to
         provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the
         underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and
         registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit
         prompt delivery to each purchaser.

                  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
         the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
         controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
         provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
         opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
         is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
         unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
         such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
         incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
         registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
         is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
         connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
         unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
         controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
         the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
         policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
         adjudication of such issue.

                  (d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

                           (i) For purposes of determining any liability under
                  the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the
                  form of prospectus filed as part of this registration
                  statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
                  of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
                  424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be
                  deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the
                  time it was declared effective.

                           (ii) For the purpose of determining any liability
                  under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective
                  amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
                  to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
                  offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
                  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
                  thereof.

CyBear's Disclosure Schedule attached hereto (the "CyBear Schedule"), as
follows:

                           (a) CyBear is a duly organized and validly existing
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida, authorized
to issue only the CyBear Common Stock. The issued and outstanding capital stock
of CyBear consists only of the Outstanding CyBear Common Stock, all of which are
duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares of
CyBear Common Stock. There are no issued or outstanding rights, options or
warrants to 

<PAGE>

purchase CyBear Common Stock or any issued or outstanding securities of any
nature convertible into CyBear Common Stock. The Outstanding CyBear Common Stock
have all been issued pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and from any applicable registration
requirements of the various states.

                           (b) Andrx owns, indirectly through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, 99% of the capital stock of CyBear.

                           (c) Andrx and CyBear each has full power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
have been duly approved by the Board of Directors of each of Andrx and CyBear
and by the shareholders of CyBear. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by each of Andrx and CyBear and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of each of Andrx and CyBear, enforceable against each of Andrx and
CyBear in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now
or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights.

                           (d) CyBear is qualified as a foreign corporation in
all jurisdictions where its business or ownership of assets or properties so
requires, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material
adverse effect on the business or financial condition of CyBear (a "CyBear
Material Adverse Effect"). The business of CyBear does not require it to be
registered as an investment company or investment adviser as such terms are
defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, each as amended.

                           (e) CyBear has no subsidiaries.
<PAGE>

                           (f) The audited financial statements of CyBear,

Operations for the period from February 5, 1997 (inception) through December 31,
1997, its Statement of Shareholders' Deficit for the period from inception
through December 31, 1997, and its Statement of Cash Flows for the period from
inception through December 31, 1997, all together with accompanying notes, have
been audited by independent public accountants, and fairly present the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and other information
purported to be shown therein of CyBear, at the date and for the respective
periods to which they apply. The unaudited financial statements of CyBear,
consisting of its Balance Sheets as at March 31, 1998 and 1997, its Statements
of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and for the period from
inception through March 31, 1997, its Statement of Shareholders' Deficit for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and for the period from inception through
March 31, 1997, and its Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and for the period from inception through March 31, 1997, have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(except for the absence of footnotes thereto), have been adjusted for all normal
and recurring accruals and fairly present the consolidated financial position,
results of operations and other information purported to be shown therein of
CyBear, at the date and for the respective periods to which they apply. The
audited financial statements and the unaudited financial statements of CyBear
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "CyBear Financial Statements."
Since March 31, 1998, the business of CyBear has been operated in all material
respects only in the ordinary course and there has not been any CyBear Material
Adverse Effect except as set forth in or as contemplated by the CyBear Financial
Statements.

                           (g) There are no material liabilities (including, but
not limited to material tax liabilities) or material claims against CyBear
(whether such liabilities or claims are contingent or 

<PAGE>

absolute, direct or indirect, matured or unmatured) not described in the CyBear
Financial Statements, other than liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business.

                           (h) All federal, state, county and local income,
excise, property and other material tax returns required to be filed by CyBear
have been filed and all required taxes, fees assessments have been paid or an
adequate reserve therefor has been established as described in the CyBear
Financial Statements. The income tax returns of CyBear have never been audited
by any authority empowered to do so, where any such audit could reasonably be
expected to have a CyBear Material Adverse Effect.

                           (i) Except as described in the CyBear Financial
Statements, CyBear has good and marketable title in all material respects to all
its furniture, fixtures, equipment and other owned assets as set forth in the
CyBear Financial Statements and such assets are owned free and clear of all
material security interests, pledges, liens, restrictions and encumbrances of
every kind and nature, except as set forth in the CyBear Financial Statements.

                           (j) The accounts receivable set forth in the CyBear
Financial Statements represent amounts due for goods sold or services rendered
by CyBear in the ordinary course of business and, except as reserved for in the
CyBear Financial Statements, are, to the best knowledge of CyBear and Andrx,
collectable in all material respects in the ordinary course of business.

                           (k) Copies of all written material agreements,
contracts, arrangements, understandings and commitments, including, without
limitation, real estate leases and loan agreements (collectively, "Contracts"),
to which CyBear is a party, by which CyBear is bound, or from which CyBear is
entitled to receive substantial benefits, and a summary of the provisions of
each oral material contract, have been delivered to Mergerco. CyBear is not in
material default 

<PAGE>

under any such Contract. The validity and enforceability of and rights of CyBear
contained in each such Contract shall not be materially adversely affected by
the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby.

                           (l) There are no legal, administrative, arbitral or
other proceedings, claims, actions or governmental investigations of any nature
against CyBear which could reasonably be expected to have a CyBear Material
Adverse Effect or which challenge the validity or propriety of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and, to CyBear's and Andrx's best knowledge,
there is no reasonable basis for any such proceeding, claim, action or
governmental investigation. CyBear is not a party to or bound by any order,
judgment or decree which could reasonably be expected to have a CyBear Material
Adverse Effect.

                           (m) Since March 31, 1998, there have been (i) no
bonuses or extraordinary compensation paid to any of the officers or directors
of CyBear, (ii) no loans made to or any other transactions with any of the
officers or directors of CyBear or their families, (iii) no dividends or other
distributions declared or paid by CyBear, and (iv) no purchase by CyBear or of
any of its capital shares.

                           (n) Since March 31, 1998, CyBear has not issued or
committed itself to issue, and to the Effective Date will not issue or commit
itself to issue any CyBear Common Stock or any options, rights, warrants, or
other securities convertible into CyBear Common Stock except as contemplated by
