The Company targets organizations involved in three key industry segments -- sponsors of public and private health plans (such as HMOs and other managed care organizations), retail pharmacies and pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors -- and offers services providing financial benefits to each of them. The Company works with plan sponsors and local health care professionals to design, implement and manage innovative pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") programs to control pharmacy benefit costs under the plans, primarily through financial risk sharing arrangements and clinically appropriate substitution of generic drugs for equivalent but more expensive brand name drugs. The Company offers suppliers of generic drugs the potential to increase sales and market share through "preferred generic" marketing programs to participating pharmacies and increases in generic drug utilization encouraged by the Company's PBM programs. In turn, retail pharmacies receive financial incentives for supporting the Company's PBM and preferred generics programs as well as discounts on drug purchases and other management and support services. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in March 1996 for the purpose of combining the businesses and operations of Pro-Mark Holdings, Inc. and MIM Strategic Marketing, LLC, which became 100% and 90% owned subsidiaries, respectively, of the Company in May 1996. The Company completed its initial public offering in August 1996. The Company's principal executive offices are located at One Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, New York 10965, and its telephone number is (914) 735-3555. RISK FACTORS An investment in the Common Stock offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should consider carefully the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, including documents incorporated herein by reference, before purchasing the securities offered hereby. Limited Operating History; Risk of Managing Growth The Company commenced its operations in June 1993 and has had a limited operating history. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to expand its market presence in current locations or successfully enter other markets. Further, in order to manage growth effectively the Company will need to continue to improve its systems and hire, train and manage additional employees. If the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively, the Company's business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Dependence on RxCare Relationship The Company has derived most of its revenue to date pursuant to an agreement with RxCare of Tennessee, Inc. ("RxCare"), a pharmacy services administrative organization owned by the Tennessee Pharmacists Association representing approximately 1,200 retail pharmacies in Tennessee. Under the RxCare agreement, the Company is obligated to operate and manage pharmacy benefit programs for health plan sponsors that have entered into contracts with RxCare for such services. RxCare reasonably may decline to execute any contract with plan sponsors or pharmacies, or any amendment or renewal thereof, negotiated by the Company on behalf of RxCare. A number of RxCare's contracts with plan sponsors are for providing state-mandated pharmacy benefits to formerly Medicaid-eligible (as well as certain uninsured and uninsurable) Tennessee residents under the TennCare program, a so-called "Medicaid waiver" state health program. Revenues from three of such TennCare contracts accounted for approximately 76% of the Company's revenues during 1996. The Company believes that the loss of its arrangement with RxCare, the loss of one or more of such contracts, the termination or expiration of the TennCare program (which is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 1998) or the loss of funding thereunder would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. 3 Limited Term of Material Agreements The Company's contract with RxCare is scheduled to expire in December 1998 unless renewed in accordance with its terms. RxCare's contracts with plan sponsors typically have a one-year term and are subject to automatic renewal unless notice of termination is given. Those contracts are subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events, including a breach of the agreement which is not cured within 30 days of notice, insolvency or termination of the TennCare program or of the plan sponsor's contract with the State of Tennessee. There can be no assurance that RxCare's contracts with plan sponsors or the Company's contract with RxCare will be continued or renewed in accordance with their terms. The loss of any of such contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Capitated Agreements A substantial portion of the Company's revenue have been derived from "capitated" agreements, through which the Company receives a pre-determined fee each month for each member enrolled in a particular health plan in return for providing certain covered pharmacy services to plan members. The Company generally negotiates the capitation fee for a particular plan (or subset of individuals within a plan) based upon a number of factors, including competitive conditions within a particular market and the expected costs of providing the covered pharmacy services. The cost of providing pharmacy services varies among plan participants and groups and is affected by many factors, including formulary design and compliance, generic substitution rate and payment structure. Expected costs are generally based on prior experience with similar groups and demographic data based on the population at large. Data with respect to prior experience may not be available and, if available, may not be a reliable indicator of the actual results for a particular plan. In addition, the Company may be required to bear all or a portion of the costs of certain newly-developed drugs, such as medications for the treatment of AIDS, the existence or cost of which may not have been known at the time the capitation fee for a particular plan was established. There can be no assurance that the cost of providing pharmacy services will not exceed the capitation fee, either per member or per plan, throughout the entire contract term. Government Regulation Various Federal and state laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry do or may impact the Company's current and planned operations, including, without limitation, Federal and state laws prohibiting kickbacks in government health programs (including TennCare), Federal and state antitrust and drug distribution laws, and a wide variety of consumer protection, insurance and other state laws and regulations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with all existing laws and regulations material to the operation of its business, such laws and regulations are subject to rapid change and often are uncertain in their application. As controversies continue to arise in the healthcare industry (for example, regarding the efforts of plan sponsors and pharmacy benefit managers to limit formularies, alter drug choice and establish limited networks of participating pharmacies), Federal and state regulation and enforcement priorities in this area can be expected to increase, the impact of which on the Company cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under one or more of these laws or that any such challenge would not be successful. Any such challenge, whether or not successful, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position and results of operations. Violation of the Federal anti-kickback statute, for example, may result in substantial civil and criminal penalties, as well as exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid (including TennCare) programs. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain any of the regulatory approvals that may be required to operate its business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Control by Management The Company's directors and executive officers beneficially own in the aggregate a majority of the Company's Common Stock. Accordingly, they collectively are able to determine the outcome of virtually all corporate actions requiring approval by the stockholders of the Company, including the election of directors. 4 Dependence on Senior Management The Company's operations have been substantially dependent on the services of John H. Klein (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), E. David Corvese (Vice Chairman and principal stockholder of the Company) and Richard H. Friedman (Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer). The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business. Messrs. Klein, Corvese and Friedman each have employment agreements with the Company which restrict the ability of such officers to compete with the Company and its affiliates for a period of one year following termination. Non-Compete Covenant In connection with his resignation from Zenith Laboratories, Inc. a manufacturer and distributor of generic drugs ("Zenith"), in January 1996 Mr. Klein agreed that he would provide consultative services to Zenith through December 31, 1998 and that, until then, neither he, nor any business in which he has a direct or indirect interest, will own, manage or be employed or engaged by any business that is substantially competitive with any material portion of the business of Zenith or its subsidiaries as conducted in early 1996. Such covenant may restrict the Company's ability to compete in certain areas including its preferred generics business and any future drug distribution business. Competition The pharmacy benefit management and generic drug distribution businesses are each highly competitive, and many of the Company's current and potential competitors have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. The pharmacy benefit management business includes a number of large, well capitalized companies with nationwide operations and many smaller organizations typically operating on a local or regional basis. Some of the larger organizations are owned by or otherwise related to a brand name drug manufacturer and may have significant influence on the distribution of pharmaceuticals. Numerous insurance and Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, managed care organizations and retail drug chains also have their own pharmacy benefit management capabilities. Professional Liability Risk The services provided by the Company in connection with its business may subject the Company to litigation and liability for damages. The Company believes that its insurance protection is adequate for its present business operations, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain and maintain insurance coverage in the future or that such insurance coverage will be available on acceptable terms or adequate to cover any or all potential professional liability, product liability or other claims. A successful claim in excess of the Company's insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Possible Negative Effects of Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, the designation, rights and preferences of which (including voting, dividend, redemption and liquidation rights) may be fixed by the Company's Board of Directors from time to time without further stockholder action. Shares of Preferred Stock could be issued in the future with rights and preferences that could make the possible takeover of the Company or the removal of management of the Company more difficult or could otherwise adversely impact the rights of holders of Common Stock. No Intention to Pay Dividends The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, to support the operation and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. 5 Possible Volatility of Stock Price The market price of the Common Stock has fluctuated substantially in recent months. The price of the Common Stock may be subject to fluctuations in the future in response to operating results, general market movements and other factors. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions, may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The table attached as Annex I hereto sets forth, as of the date of this Prospectus or a subsequent date if amended or supplemented, (a) the name of each Selling Shareholder and his or her relationship to the Company during the past three years; (b) the number of shares of Common Stock each Selling Shareholder beneficially owns (assuming that all options to acquire shares are exercisable within 60 days, although certain options actually vest over three years); (c) the number of Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus by each Selling Shareholder; and (d) the amount and percentage of the Common Stock outstanding to be held by such Selling Shareholder after giving effect to the Offering. The information contained in Annex I may be amended or supplemented from time to time. USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities offered hereby. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Sales of the Securities offered hereby may be made on the NASDAQ National Market or the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The Securities may be sold in (a) block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, (b) transactions in which a broker or dealer acts as principal and resells the Securities for its account pursuant to this Prospectus, (c) exchange distributions in accordance with the rules of such exchange, and (d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to sale. Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. There is no assurance that any of the Selling Shareholders will offer for sale or sell any or all of the Securities covered by this Prospectus. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of the Company's directors to the Company or its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). Specifically, directors of the Company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Company's By-Laws require the Company to indemnify any current or former director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The Company also maintains insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its subsidiaries insuring such persons against liabilities, including liabilities under the securities laws. 6 LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Company by Finn Dixon & Herling LLP, Stamford, Connecticut.

Item 9. Undertakings. A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) (i) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"); (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement The foregoing notwithstanding, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-3 (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-4 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Pearl River, State of New York, on this 18th day of August, 1997.

Re:  MIM Corporation -- Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to MIM  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation (the
"Company"),  in connection  with the  preparation and filing with the Securities
and  Exchange   Commission  of  a  registration   statement  on  Form  S-8  (the
"Registration  Statement") of the Company,  covering 3,496,053 (the "Shares") of
the Common  Stock,  $0.0001 par value per share,  of the  Company,  to be issued
pursuant to the  Company's  1996 Stock  Incentive  Plan,  as  amended,  and 1996
Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Plans").

     In  rendering  the  opinion set forth  herein,  we have  examined  executed
copies,  telecopies or photocopies  of: (1) the  Registration  Statement and the
Plans;  (ii) the  Amended  and  Restated  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of the
Company,  the By-laws of the Company  and exerpts  from the minute  books of the
Company;  (iii) the current forms of Option  Agreements  used in connection with
the  Plans;  and (iv) such  other  records,  documents,  certificates  and other
instruments  as in our judgment are necessary or  appropriate as a basis for the
opinion  expressed  below.  In our examination of such documents we have assumed
the genuineness of all signatures,  the legal capacity of natural  persons,  the
authenticity  of all documents  submitted to us as originals,  the conformity to
original documents of all documents  submitted to us as certified or photostatic
copies,  and the  authenticity of the originals of such copies.  As to any facts
material to this opinion which we did not independently  establish or verify, we
have  relied  upon  statements  and   representations   of  officers  and  other
representatives of the Company.

     Based upon the  foregoing,  and in  reliance  thereon,  and  subject to the
qualifications, assumptions and exceptions heretofore and hereinafter set forth,
we are of the opinion  that upon the issuance of the Shares in  accordance  with
the







                                      - 2 -


Plans  (and  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of any  written  options,  option
agreements or other  agreements which are issued or entered into pursuant to the
terms and  conditions  of the Plans)  and as  contemplated  by the  Registration
Statement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We do not express,  or purport to express,  any opinion with respect to the
laws of any  jurisdiction  other than the laws of the State of Connecticut,  the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal securities laws
of the United States of America.

     We hereby  consent  to the  filing  of this  letter  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement  and  further  consent  to the use of our name  wherever
appearing in the  Registration  Statement and the reoffer  prospectus  dated the
date  hereof  which forms a part  thereof.  In giving  this  consent,  we do not
thereby  admit that we are in the category of persons  whose consent is required
under  Section 7 of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  or the rules and
regulations  promulgated  thereunder by the Securities and Exchange  Commission.
This  opinion  is given as of the date  hereof  and we assume no  obligation  to
update or supplement  this opinion to reflect any facts or  circumstances  which
may  hereafter  occur or come to our  attention  or any changes in law which may
hereafter occur.



                                                  Very truly yours,

                                                  /s/ FINN DIXON & HERLING LLP



                                                                   Exhibit 23.1



                    CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To MIM Corporation:


As independent  public  accountants,  we hereby consent to the  incorporation by
