ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

                          On July 8, 1994, Coram Healthcare Corporation, a
         Delaware corporation ("Coram" or the "Registrant"), consummated the
         acquisition and merger (the "Merger") of four public companies -- T(2)
         Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("T(2)"), Curaflex Health
         Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Curaflex"), HealthInfusion,
         Inc., a Florida corporation ("HealthInfusion"), and Medisys, Inc., a
         Delaware corporation ("Medisys"), pursuant to and in accordance with
         that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 6,
         1994, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan
         of Merger dated May 25, 1994, and as further amended by that certain
         Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 8, 1994
         (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Registrant, T(2), Curaflex,
         HealthInfusion, Medisys, T(2) Acquisition Company, a Delaware
         corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("T(2)
         Acquisition"), C H S Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and
         wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("CHS Acquisition"), H I I
         Acquisition Company, a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
         of the Registrant ("HII Acquisition"), and M I Acquisition Company, a
         Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant 
         ("MI Acquisition").  The Merger Agreement and the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated thereby was approved by the respective
         stockholders of T(2), Curaflex, HealthInfusion and Medisys at
         respective special meetings of such stockholders held on July 8, 1994.

                          Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) T(2)
         Acquisition was merged with and into T(2) Acquisition with T(2) as the
         surviving corporation, CHS Acquisition was merged with and into
         Curaflex with Curaflex as the surviving corporation, HII Acquisition
         was merged with and into HealthInfusion with HealthInfusion as the
         surviving corporation and MI Acquisition was merged with and into
         Medisys with Medisys as the surviving corporation and (ii) each
         outstanding share of T(2) common stock was converted into the right to
         receive 0.63 of a share of Coram common stock, each outstanding share
         of Curaflex common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.333
         of a share of Coram common stock, each outstanding share of
         HealthInfusion common stock was converted into the right to receive
         0.447 of a share of Coram common stock, each outstanding share of
         Medisys common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.243 of
         a share of Coram common stock and each outstanding stock option,
         warrant and other right to acquire T(2) common stock, Curaflex common
         stock, HealthInfusion common stock and Medisys common stock was
         converted into the right to acquire shares of Coram common stock on
         the same terms and conditions, except that the number and exercise
         price was adjusted based on the applicable exchange ratio for the
         underlying T(2) common stock, Curaflex common stock, HealthInfusion
         common stock or Medisys common stock.

                          The Merger will be accounted for as a "pooling of
         interests" for financial reporting purposes and treated as a tax-free
         reorganization for federal income tax purposes.  Prior period results
         of the previously separate companies will be combined to reflect the
         Merger.
