                 INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 1. GENERAL INFORMATION.

     (a) Ideon Group, Inc. ("Ideon"),  a Delaware corporation,  was incorporated
on December 29, 1994.

     (b) Ideon's fiscal year ends on December 31.


ITEM 2. TRANSACTION OF SUCCESSION.

     (a) Ideon's predecessor,  SafeCard Services,  Incorporated ("SafeCard"),  a
Delaware  corporation,  had securities registered pursuant to Section 12 (b) and
12 (g) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act")
at the time of succession.

     (b)  Prior  to  the  date  of  the  succession,  Ideon  was a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of SafeCard. Ideon, its wholly owned subsidiary, Ideon Merger Company
("IMC"),  and SafeCard  entered into a Plan of  Reorganization  and Agreement of
Merger  dated as of January 23, 1995 (the  "Reorganization  Agreement").  At the
annual  meeting  of  stockholders  of  SafeCard  held on  April  27,  1995,  the
stockholders of SafeCard approved the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to which
(i)  SafeCard  became a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Ideon;  (ii) the shares of
common  stock,   $.01  par  value,   of  SafeCard   ("SafeCard   Common  Stock")
automatically  were  converted  into an equal number of shares of common  stock,
$.01 par value, of Ideon ("Ideon Common Stock");  and (iii) outstanding  options
and other rights to purchase shares of SafeCard Common Stock were converted into
options or other  rights to purchase  the same number of shares of Ideon  Common
Stock at the  same  exercise  price  and  subject  to the  same  conditions.  In
addition,  the stockholders  approved the proposed  capital  structure of Ideon,
which  consists of 90 million shares of Ideon Common Stock and 10 million shares
of preferred stock with such designations,  rights,  preferences and limitations
as  determined  by  the  Board  of  Directors  at  the  time  of  issuance.  The
reorganization did not result in any change in SafeCard's business,  management,
operations or financial  statements or any change in the percentage ownership of
each  stockholder of SafeCard  immediately  prior to the  reorganization  in the
consolidated assets and liabilities of SafeCard.

     Under the terms of the  Reorganization  Agreement,  each outstanding  stock
certificate theretofore  representing shares of SafeCard Common Stock represents
the  same  number  of  shares  of  Ideon  Common  Stock  until  surrendered  for
cancellation and exchange or transfer. Each outstanding certificate which, prior
to the consummation of the Reorganization, represented shares of SafeCard Common
Stock,  will be deemed and treated for all  corporate  purposes to represent the
ownership  of the same number of shares of the Ideon Common Stock as though such
surrender had taken place.

ITEM 3.  SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.

     Ideon is authorized to issue 90 million shares of Ideon Common Stock. As of
April 30, 1995,  Ideon had 34,946,000  shares issued,  of which  28,942,265 were
outstanding and 6,003,735 were held in treasury.

and  Exchange   Commission   as  of  March  28,  1995  under  the  heading  "THE
REORGANIZATION;   Description  of  Capital  Stock"  hereby  is  incorporated  by
reference.


ITEM 5.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
