Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Merger

     On July 20,  2000  (the  "Effective  Date"),  pursuant  to the  terms of an
Agreement and Plan of Merger,  dated as of June 27, 2000 (the  "Agreement"),  by
and among  National  Medical  Health Card Systems,  Inc.  ("Health  Card"),  PAI
Acquisition  Corp., a wholly owned  subsidiary of Health Card ("PAI"),  Pharmacy
Associates,  Inc.  ("Pharmacy  Associates")  and the  shareholders  of  Pharmacy
Associates  (each a "Shareholder"  and collectively  the  "Shareholders"),  PAI,
merged with and into Pharmacy Associates.

Merger Consideration

     Pursuant  to the  Agreement,  the  Shareholders  as of the  Effective  Date
received an aggregate of $6,000,000 in cash and 400,000  shares of  unregistered
common stock of Health Card. In addition, if Pharmacy Associates' pre-tax income
for the 12 months  ending on June 30, 2001 or June 30,  2002 (each an  "Earn-Out
Period" and  collectively,  the "Earn Out Periods") is greater than  $1,000,000,
then  promptly   following  the  final   determination  of  the  pre-tax  income
calculation by Health Card for the applicable Earn-Out Period, Health Card shall
pay a pro rata portion of the amount described below to the Shareholders:

                  (i) if Pharmacy  Associates achieves a pre-tax income equal to
or greater than $2,500,000 in an Earn-Out  Period,  then the Contingent  Payment
for such Earn-Out Period shall be $1,000,000;

                  (ii) if  Pharmacy  Associates  achieves  a  pre-tax  income of
greater than $1,000,000 but less than $2,500,000 in an Earn-Out Period, then the
Contingent  Payment for such Earn-Out Period shall be equal to (x) the amount of
pre-tax income in excess of $1,000,000  achieved by Pharmacy  Associates  during
such Earn-Out  Period (such excess amount not to exceed  $1,500,000)  divided by
$1,500,000, multiplied by (y) $1,000,000; and

                  (iii) if Pharmacy Associates does not achieve a pre-tax income
of at least $1,000,000 in an Earn-Out Period,  then the Shareholders will not be
entitled to a Contingent Payment for such Earn-Out Period.

     Neither the amount of pre-tax income achieved in an Earn-Out Period nor the
amount of a  Contingent  Payment  paid in an Earn-Out  Period  shall  affect the
calculation of pre-tax income  achieved or the Contingent  Payment  payable,  if
any,  in the  applicable  Earn-Out  Period.  Seventy-five  percent  (75%) of the
Contingent  Payment,  if any,  payable to the  Shareholders  shall be payable in
cash,  with the remaining  twenty-five  percent  (25%)  payable in  unregistered
shares of common  stock of Health  Card based on the Health Card  Average  Price
(hereinafter  defined).  The Health Card Average Price shall mean the average of
the last  reported per share  trading price of Health Card common stock over the
30  business  day  period  immediately  preceding  the  date  of  determination;
provided,  that if such  average is below  $4.00,  then the deemed  Health  Card
Average  Price shall be $4.00,  and if such average is above  $6.00,  the deemed
Health Card Average Price shall be $6.00.

     Additionally,  if 35,000 additional  covered lives from a specified account
are added to Pharmacy  Associates' network under similar terms to such specified
account's  existing  network  contract,  Health Card will pay the Shareholders a
total of $16 per  covered  life;  provided  that such group  must be  contracted
within 90 days from the Effective Date and installation of such group must occur
within 180 days of the Effective Date.

     Additionally,  200,000 shares of the Health Card common stock issued to the
Shareholders  as part of the merger will be held in escrow as  security  for the
indemnification  obligations of the Shareholders  under the Agreement until July
20, 2002.

     Pursuant to the  Agreement,  all of the  Shareholders  agreed not to become
involved,  in any manner or capacity  whatsoever,  with any entity or individual
that engages or proposes to engage in prescription  benefits management,  except
Health  Card  or  Pharmacy  Associates,   until  June  27,  2003.  Each  of  the
Shareholders  further  agreed not to (i) seek to transact any  business  with or
alter the relationship in any way between any of Pharmacy Associates'  customers
or prospective customers and (ii) solicit for employment or in any way alter the
relationship  between  Pharmacy  Associates  and  any  person  who  was or is an
