     FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS — This document contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current assumptions and expectations regarding future events. While these statements reflect the Company’s current judgment, they are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly from projected results due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the soundness of our business strategies relative to the perceived market opportunities; our ability to integrate MedUnite into our existing operations, our ability to successfully identify and integrate other acquisition candidates; our ability to successfully develop, market, sell, cross-sell, install and upgrade our clinical and financial transaction services and applications to current and new physicians, payers, medical laboratories and pharmacies; our ability to consummate and integrate any acquisitions successfully; our ability to compete effectively on price and support services; our assessment of the healthcare industry’s need, desire and ability to become technology efficient; and our ability and that of our business associates to comply with various government rules regarding healthcare and patient privacy. These and other risk factors are more fully discussed in the Risk Factor disclosure in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we strongly urge you to read. ProxyMed expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
