ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     (a) On June 20, 1997, the Company sold 600,000 shares of unregistered
common stock for $11.00 per share to Bellingham Industries, Inc. ("Bellingham").
Gross proceeds from this sale was $6,600,000. The Company paid a commission of
7%, or $462,000, to Commonwealth Associates. The Company previously sold 425,000
shares of unregistered common stock to Bellingham, as reported under Part II,
Item 2 of Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1997. In
addition, on June 30, 1997, Bellingham signed a definitive agreement for the
purchase of an additional 100,000 shares of unregistered common stock from the
Company for $11.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. A 7% commission,
or $77,000, will be paid to Commonwealth Associates upon consummation of this
transaction, which is scheduled to close on or before July 30, 1997. Such
issuances are exempt from the registration provisions of Section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), by virtue of Section 4(2) of the
Act. However, the Company agreed to file a registration statement under the Act
by August 31, 1997 for all shares sold, and must use its best efforts to have
such registration statement declared effective by October 31, 1997. Based on
information provided by Bellingham, as of June 30, 1997 it beneficially owns
2,150,000 shares, or 19.1%, of the Company's outstanding common stock.

       (b) On June 27, 1997, the Company acquired all rights, title and interest
in all copyrights and trademarks related to the technology underlying the
PRE-SCRIBE pharmacy-physician prescription network (the "PRE-SCRIBE network")
from Walgreen Co. The PRE-SCRIBE network is currently being operated by
Integrated Systems Solutions Corp. ("ISSC"), a division of IBM. ISSC will
operate the PRE-SCRIBE network for a reasonable period of time until it is
integrated into the Company's operations. Concurrently, Walgreens entered into a
network services agreement whereby Walgreens will pay fees to the Company for 12
years (the first three of which are on an exclusive basis) for transactions (as
defined) received over the PRE-SCRIBE network or ProxyMed's existing network,
ProxyNet. ProxyMed paid Walgreens $2,000,000 at closing, issued a warrant for
200,000 shares of ProxyMed's common stock at the market price, and will pay
$500,000 per year on the first, second and third anniversaries of the agreement.
Revenues generated from the PRE-SCRIBE network are not material.
