                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   (a)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying unaudited condensed
         consolidated financial statements of ProxyMed, Inc. and subsidiaries
         (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
         to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures
         required by generally accepted accounting principles. However, such
         information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
         recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
         necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

         The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
         year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
         should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
         statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K
         for the year ended December 31, 1999.

         On March 31, 2000, ProxyMed sold its non-core network integration and
         prescription drug dispensing segments. These two segments are shown as
         discontinued operations and the consolidated financial statements and
         related notes have been reclassified to segregate the net assets and
         operating results of these segments (see Note 2). Certain prior period
         amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period
         presentation.

   (b)   REVENUE RECOGNITION - Electronic transaction processing fee revenue is
         recorded in the period the service is rendered. Revenue from sales of
         software, software licenses, computer hardware and manufactured goods
         is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
         delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and
         collectibility is probable. The same criteria is applied to each
         element of multiple element arrangements after allocating the amounts
         paid to individual elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence
         of fair value. Revenue from hardware leases, software rentals and
         maintenance fees is recognized ratably over the applicable period.

   (c)   NET LOSS PER SHARE - Basic loss per share of common stock is computed
         by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted
         average shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted per
         share results reflect the potential dilution from the exercise or
         conversion of securities into common stock; however, stock options,
         warrants and contingent shares totaling 4,290,978 shares and 2,777,455
         shares at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, as well as common
         shares issuable on conversion of preferred stock (1,897,533 shares, if
         converted on March 31, 2000) were excluded from the calculation of
         diluted per share results because their effect was antidilutive. If the
         preferred stock had been converted to common stock as of the beginning
         of 2000, net loss per share from

                                       5

         continuing operations would have been $(.30) and total net loss per
         share would have been $(.29) for the three months ended March 31, 2000.


(2)  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - In March 2000, ProxyMed sold its discontinued
     network integration and prescription drug dispensing segments in separate
     transactions. Proceeds from the sale of the network integration segment
     were $3,398,000 and were paid with 208,913 shares of ProxyMed common stock
     (valued at $1,776,000, the closing market price of the common stock on the
     date of closing, and recorded as treasury stock) and a note receivable of
     $1,622,000 due on July 31, 2000. The sale resulted in a gain of $574,000.

     Proceeds from the sale of the prescription drug dispensing segment were
     $255,000 and were paid with 17,000 shares of ProxyMed common stock (valued
     at $154,000, the closing market price of the common stock on the date of
     closing, and recorded as treasury stock) and a note receivable of $101,000
     payable in monthly installments over two years and bearing interest at 9%
     per annum. The sale resulted in a loss of $63,000.

     The following table represents the results of discontinued operations for
     the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

(4) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

     In April 1997, the Company loaned a total of $350,000 to ProxyMed's
     chairman of the board. The funds were advanced pursuant to two demand
     promissory notes in the principal amounts of $290,000 and $60,000,
     respectively, each bearing interest at a rate of 7-3/4% per annum. The
     chairman and the Company's Compensation Committee are in current
     discussions with respect to the repayment terms and collateral for such
     notes.

(5) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On December 23, 1999, the Company issued 15,000 shares of its Series B
     Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series B Preferred") and
     warrants to purchase 800,000 shares (the "Old Warrants") of its common
     stock, par value $.001 per share, in a private placement to institutional
     investors.

     Due to the decline in the price of the Company's common stock below $4.21
     for a period of ten consecutive trading days in April and May 2000, certain
     contractual

                                       7
<PAGE>

     effects were triggered which would permit the preferred shareholders to
     convert the preferred shares and exercise the Old Warrants into a
     potentially large number of shares of common stock. To mitigate the
     potential dilution to existing shareholders, on May 4, 2000, the Company
     entered into a Redemption and Exchange Agreement (the "Redemption
     Agreement") with holders of 13,000 shares of the Series B Preferred. Under
     the terms of the Redemption Agreement, the Company redeemed 4,000 shares of
     the Series B Preferred, and is required to redeem an additional 2,500
     shares of the Series B Preferred on each of June 19, 2000, August 1, 2000,
     and August 31, 2000, and an additional 1,500 shares of the Series B
     Preferred on September 29, 2000. The Redemption Agreement provides that the
     redemption of the Series B Preferred will be made at 116.5% of the
     Conversion Amount (as defined in the Articles of Amendment to the Company's
     Articles of Incorporation creating the Series B Preferred, the "Articles of
     Amendment") of such Series B Preferred on the date of such redemption. The
     Redemption Agreement also provides that 693,333 of the Old Warrants with an
     exercise price of $12.05 per share issued to the holders of the Series B
     Preferred subject to the Redemption Agreement have been exchanged for an
     equal number of warrants (the "Exchanged Warrants") with an exercise price
     of $1.50 per share. Such holders also received, in the aggregate, 650,000
     additional warrants (the "New Warrants") at an exercise price of $1.50 per
     share. The Exchanged Warrants expire on December 23, 2002 and the New
     Warrants expire on May 5, 2003. The exercise price and number of shares of
     common stock which may be purchased upon exercise of the Exchanged Warrants
     and the New Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
     certain dilution events including, without limitation, certain issuances of
     common stock, stock options or convertible securities issued after November
     2000, or certain corporate transactions such as stock splits, mergers or
     asset sales. Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of the Exchanged
     Warrants and the New Warrants have agreed not to exercise such warrants for
     a period of 180 days following their date of issuance. The redemption of
     the Series B Preferred in accordance with the Redemption Agreement is
     subject to certain closing conditions on each date of redemption. So long
     as the Company remains in compliance with the terms of the Redemption
     Agreement, such holders are prohibited from converting their shares of
     Series B Preferred into shares of common stock.

     Under the terms of the Redemption Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay
     the holders of Series B Preferred subject to such agreement the aggregate
     amount of $4,333,333 if there is a change of control of the Company on or
     before December 23, 2002.

     The Company has not entered into an agreement to redeem the shares of
     Series B Preferred held by the holder of 2,000 shares of the Series B
     Preferred. To date, this holder has converted 1,690 shares of the Series B
     Preferred into an aggregate of 1,401,516 shares of common stock, and 310
     shares of Series B Preferred remain outstanding. In addition, as a result
     of certain anti-dilution provisions, 106,667 warrants originally issued at
     an exercise price of $12.05 have been reset in both number and price so
     that there are presently 856,892 warrants at an exercise price of $1.50.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     In order for the Company to comply with the terms of the Redemption
     Agreement and continue to fund its operating requirements, it will be
     required to raise significant amounts of additional capital. The Redemption
     Agreement provides that the Company must raise at least $4,000,000 of
     additional funds by June 17, 2000, an additional $5,000,000 of new funds by
     July 31, 2000, and an additional $4,000,000 of new funds by August 30,
     2000. As a result of these redemptions, the Company will report a
     substantial charge in the second quarter of 2000. The Company, however, may
     need or elect to raise additional funds in excess of such amounts prior to
     or after such dates. The Company's capital requirements will depend on many
     factors, including its ability to meet the conditions under the Redemption
     Agreement, the problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently
     encountered by other eHealth companies; the costs associated with
     developing improved products and services in response to technological
     changes; the costs associated with any marketing or other arrangements;
     changes in economic, regulatory, or competitive conditions or the Company's
     business; and the cost of retaining management personnel. As a result of
     the foregoing, the pro forma capitalization is reflected in the
     consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000.

     To satisfy its capital requirements, the Company must raise funds through
     the issuance of equity or debt in the public or private capital markets.
     The Company's ability to raise additional funds may be adversely affected
     if, among other things, it is unable to meet the terms and conditions set
     forth in the Redemption Agreement or if it does not continue to improve its
     operating performance and achieve increased market acceptance of its
     products and services. There can be no assurance that any additional
     funding will be available to the Company, or if available, that it will be
     available on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available, the
     Company will not be able to meet the conditions set forth in the Redemption
     Agreement and the holders of the Series B Preferred would be entitled to
     exercise their conversion and other rights under the terms of the
     designations for the Series B Preferred and the Redemption Agreement. If
     the Company is successful in obtaining additional financing, the terms of
     the financing may have the effect of significantly diluting or adversely
     affecting the holdings or the rights of the holders of common stock.

     On May 8, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment
     bank to serve as exclusive placement agent for the Company in connection
     with a proposed private offering by the investment bank, on a best efforts
     basis, of up to $20,000,000 of equity securities, plus an "overallotment
     option" for an additional $10,000,000. In addition, at the option of both
     parties, the investment bank may arrange for up to $6,000,000 of bridge
     financing for the Company in the form of an 8% senior collateralized
     convertible promissory note and five year warrants to purchase 500,000
     shares of common stock for each $1,000,000 of bridge financing. No
     assurance can be given that these financings will be completed, or that, if
     completed, will be at the terms described herein.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         ProxyMed is an eHealth company providing eSolutions to physicians and
business-to-business healthcare electronic commerce services to healthcare
information system suppliers such as pharmacies, commercial and hospital
laboratories, insurance companies, managed care organizations and nursing homes.
Our products and services are provided from our three operating facilities
located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Santa Ana, California; and New Albany,
Indiana.

         In May 1999, we announced and commenced the development of
PROXYMED.COM, a healthcare portal website aimed at increasing the use of our
services through the internet and in November 1999, the first version of the
website was introduced. In March 2000, Version 2.0 of the portal was introduced
with our first three transaction services: eligibility verification, laboratory
test results reporting, and drug formulary management. When fully developed,
PROXYMED.COM will offer a secure, single access point through the web for all
connectivity needs of physicians and other healthcare providers to facilitate
healthcare eCommerce services.

         In March 2000, we sold our non-core network integration and
prescription drug dispensing segments. These two segments are shown as
discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

         NET REVENUES. Consolidated net revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 increased by $119,891, or 2%, to $7,644,950 from consolidated net
revenues of $7,525,059 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. This increase
is primarily due to volume increases in transactions processed.

         COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN. Cost of services and license
fees includes third-party electronic transaction processing costs, certain
telecommunication costs, third-party databases, and certain labor and travel
costs. Cost of sales for communication devices, computer systems, and other
tangible goods includes hardware, third-party software, direct labor and
consumable materials. Consolidated gross profit margin for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 was 64% compared to 72% for the three months ended March
31, 1999. This decrease was primarily due to a change in the mix of revenues at
our laboratory communication device operations from higher margin leasing of
communication devices to lower margin sales and servicing of these devices.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Consolidated selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000
increased by $1,582,582, or 26%, to $7,639,385 from consolidated SG&A expenses
of $6,056,803 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. This increase is
primarily due to (i) increases in payroll and related expenses for additional
sales representatives, field implementation and senior management positions
($886,000), (ii) increases in selling and marketing expenses for our current
products and PROXYMED.COM ($384,000), (iii) increases in telecommunications and
facilities costs for additional employees ($148,000), and (iv) increases in
professional fees for legal and consulting projects ($166,000). As a result of
these factors, consolidated SG&A expenses as a percentage of consolidated net
sales increased to 100% in the 2000 period from 80% in the 1999 period.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Consolidated depreciation and
amortization expense increased $126,914, or 4%, to $3,283,209 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $3,156,295 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. This increase was primarily due to additional fixed assets purchased for
our computer networks and additional employees.

         LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. As a result of the foregoing, the loss
from continuing operations was $6,022,526 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $3,822,868 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999.

         DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. As a result of selling both the network
integration and prescription drug dispensing segments in the first quarter of
2000 for total proceeds of $3,652,942, we recorded a net gain of $511,130. The
loss from the operations of our discontinued network integration and
prescription drug dispensing segments was $303,927 in the three months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to income of $113,682 in the three months ended March
31, 1999.

         Revenues from the network integration segment were $2,371,758 in the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $3,354,923 in the three months
ended March 31, 1999. As a result of the decreased sales and additional
amortization expense related to goodwill, the net loss for this segment was
$327,767 in the 2000 period compared to net income of $135,528 in the 1999
period.

         Revenues from the prescription drug dispensing segment were $574,665
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $487,327 for in the three
months ended March 31, 1999. Net income for this segment was $23,840 in the 2000
period compared to a net loss of $21,846 in the 1999 period.

         DIVIDENDS. As a result of the issuance of preferred stock in December
1999, we paid dividends of $223,770 by issuing 29,278 shares of our common stock
on March 31, 2000.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         NET LOSS APPLICABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS. As a result of the
foregoing, we recorded a net loss applicable to common shareholders of
$5,945,862 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $3,690,406 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In the three month period ended March 31, 2000, cash used in operating
activities totaled $1,990,053. This was primarily due to our net loss partially
offset by depreciation and amortization charges. We spent approximately
$2,000,000 for fixed assets and capitalized software development costs, and paid
dividends to our preferred stockholders with 29,278 shares of common stock.
These activities were financed through available cash resources and $426,749 in
proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants. After these
expenditures and sales of equity, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling
$7,914,054 as of March 31, 2000.

         These available funds continue to be used for operations, the further
development and marketing of our products and services (including PROXYMED.COM,
our healthcare portal website), equipment and other general corporate purposes.
As a result of the completed sales of our network integration and prescription
drug dispensing segments in March 2000, we will receive payments of
approximately $1,658,000 through July 2000. Additionally, as a result of
acquisitions made in 1997 and 1998, we are obligated to pay approximately
$330,000 for a final assessment of a tax audit at Key Communications (which was
paid in April 2000), $750,000 to the former owner of Clinical Microsystems
(which was paid in April 2000 for $375,000 in cash and 33,708 shares of common
stock), and $500,000 in June 2000 to the former owner of PreScribe. In addition,
we are continuously evaluating acquisition opportunities and other strategic
alternatives that may add synergies to our product offerings and business
strategy.

         We are aggressively implementing our new strategic plan which
concentrates on empowering physicians with internet-enabled tools and solutions
in three critical areas: (i) accelerating the development and launch of
PROXYMED.COM and clinical applications, (ii) aggressively adding physician-users
to our desktop software, and (iii) enhancing our suppliers network to deliver
additional physician customers and new physician services. We continue to expect
that there will be opportunities to increase revenues by cross-selling products
and services to our current customers utilizing only selected services, as well
as revenue opportunities from the development of new services from our product
development efforts, including PROXYMED.COM. In addition, while we expect
certain sales, marketing, implementation and development costs to rise in order
to achieve our revenue goals, we also expect to continue to experience cost
reduction synergies as we utilize the operational strengths at each of our
locations. These savings will occur primarily from elimination of facilities,
duplicate personnel in the areas of network operations, management and customer
service, and other general and administrative costs.

         In December 1999, we issued 15,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Series B Preferred") and warrants to purchase
800,000 shares (the

                                       12
<PAGE>

"Old Warrants") of our common stock, par value $.001 per share, in a private
placement to institutional investors. Due to the decline in the price of the our
common stock below $4.21 for a period of ten consecutive trading days in April
and May 2000, certain contractual effects were triggered which would permit the
preferred shareholders to convert the preferred shares and exercise the Old
Warrants into a potentially large number of shares of common stock. To mitigate
the potential dilution to existing shareholders, on May 4, 2000, we entered into
a Redemption and Exchange Agreement (the "Redemption Agreement") with holders of
13,000 shares of the Series B Preferred. Under the terms of the Redemption
Agreement, we redeemed 4,000 shares of the Series B Preferred, and are required
to redeem an additional 2,500 shares of the Series B Preferred on each of June
19, 2000, August 1, 2000, and August 31, 2000, and an additional 1,500 shares of
the Series B Preferred on September 29, 2000, plus a 16.5% premium and accrued
dividends.

         In order for us to comply with the terms of the Redemption Agreement
and continue to fund our operating requirements, we will be required to raise
significant amounts of additional capital. The Redemption Agreement provides
that we must raise at least $4,000,000 of additional funds by June 17, 2000, an
additional $5,000,000 of new funds by July 31, 2000, and an additional
$4,000,000 of new funds by August 30, 2000. As a result of these redemptions, we
will report a substantial charge in the second quarter of 2000. We, however, may
need or elect to raise additional funds in excess of such amounts prior to or
after such dates. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including our ability to meet the conditions under the Redemption Agreement, the
problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently encountered by other
eHealth companies; the costs associated with developing improved products and
services in response to technological changes; the costs associated with any
marketing or other arrangements; changes in economic, regulatory, or competitive
conditions or our business; and the cost of retaining management personnel.

         In July 1999, we signed an accounts receivable-based revolving line of
credit agreement of up to $5,000,000. Borrowings are based on 85% of eligible
accounts receivable, repayable on July 30, 2000, collateralized by a lien on all
of our assets, and bear interest at the prime rate plus 2% payable monthly
(which has ranged from 10% to 11%). If the creditor does not elect to renew this
line of credit, we may need to enter into another credit facility with terms
that may differ significantly from the existing agreement, or raise funds
through additional debt or equity financing. As of March 31, 2000, we borrowed
$1,000,000 under this credit facility and in May 2000, we borrowed an additional
$2,000,000. Our current availability to borrow under this credit facility is
approximately $258,000.

         At the current time, we do not have any material commitments for
capital expenditures. To satisfy our capital requirements, we must raise funds
through the issuance of equity or debt in the public or private capital markets.
Our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely affected if, among other
things, we are unable to meet the terms and conditions set forth in the
Redemption Agreement or if we do not continue to improve our operating
performance and achieve increased market acceptance of our products and
services. There can be no assurance that any additional funding will be
available to us, or if available, that it will be available on acceptable terms.
If adequate funds are not available, we will not be able to meet the conditions
set forth in the Redemption Agreement and the holders of the Series B preferred
stock would be entitled to exercise their conversion and other rights under the
terms of the designations for the Series B preferred stock and the Redemption
Agreement. If we are successful in obtaining additional financing, the terms of
the financing may have the effect of significantly diluting or adversely
affecting the holdings or the rights of the holders of our common stock. We
believe that if we are not successful in obtaining additional financing to fund
the increased research and development expenditures, increased marketing
expenditures, and comply with the terms of the Redemption Agreement either
through equity raises or debt issuance, such increased expenditures could be
reduced, and we could operate at near cash flow break-even until such additional
financing is available. However, such actions could impact our ability to
successfully advance our business plan and may put us at a competitive
disadvantage.

         The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.9 times at
March 31, 2000 and 3.0 times at December 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily
due to a decrease in cash for operational purposes and increases in liabilities
for payroll and related expenses and higher inventory levels. For the periods
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, accounts receivable turnover for us was 7.5 times
in the 2000 period and is comparable to 7.6 times

                                       13
<PAGE>

in the 1999 period. Our inventory turnover was 5.0 times in the 2000 period
compared to 4.6 times in the 1999 period. This increase is attributable to
higher inventory turnover at our lab communication devices operations.

         We expect to continue to incur negative net cash flow from operations
until we begin receiving higher levels of revenues, primarily driven by
PROXYMED.COM, our healthcare web portal. Management is committed to the strategy
of investing funds in further marketing and development of our products and
services, specifically for PROXYMED.COM, which will integrate our existing
desktop products into a single internet-based solution. We may also pursue
additional acquisitions that are deemed to be in accordance with our business
strategy.

         On May 8, 2000, we entered into an agreement with an investment bank
to serve as exclusive placement agent for us in connection with a proposed
private offering by that investment bank, on a best efforts basis, of up to
$20,000,000 of equity securities, plus an "overallotment option" for an
additional $10,000,000. In addition, at the option of both parties, the
investment bank may arrange for up to $6,000,000 of bridge financing for us in
the form of an 8% senior collateralized convertible promissory note and five
year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock for each $1,000,000 of
bridge financing. No assurance can be given that these financings will be
completed, or that, if completed, will be at the terms described herein.
