ITEM 5. OTHER MATTERS
.

Notice of Acceleration and Demand; Notice of Public Sale of Collateral

Vision Twenty-One, Inc. (the "Company" or "Vision 21") is indebted to the Bank of Montreal (the "Agent") and the other lenders (collectively, the "Lenders") party to the Amended And Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated November 10, 2000, as amended by First Amendment dated as of March 31, 2001, Second Amendment dated as of May 31, 2001, Third Amendment dated as of July 12, 2001, Fourth Amendment dated as of September 30, 2001, Fifth Amendment And Waiver To Credit Agreement And Forbearance Agreement dated as of March 31, 2002 as amended by First Amendment To Forbearance Agreement dated May 17, 2002 (the "Forbearance Agreement), in excess of $58 million, exclusive of interest, fees, charges and other amounts (the "Indebtedness"). Payment of the Indebtedness is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and is secured by, among other things, the tangible and intangible assets of the Company (including the capital stock of the Subsidiary Guarantors owned directly or indirectly by the Company) and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders had agreed to forbear from accelerating the Indebtedness and other obligations under the Credit Agreement until the scheduled standstill termination date of May 31, 2002, or the occurrence of an earlier standstill termination event under the Forbearance Agreement.

Since the Company's engagement of an investment banker in the first quarter of 2001, management has sought a purchaser for the Company's business, in whole or in part. Notwithstanding such efforts, the Company did not receive any offers that would have yielded proceeds sufficient to satisfy any material portion of the Indebtedness or proceeds for any distribution to the Vision 21 shareholders.

Due to the financial condition of the Company, the Company is unable to pay the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and remains in default of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and related loan documents.

On July 19, 2002, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors received notice from the Agent declaring the entire Indebtedness due and payable in full and making demand for the immediate payment of the Indebtedness (the "Acceleration Notice").

The Acceleration Notice was delivered by the Agent to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors together with a Notice of Public Sale of Collateral dated July 19, 2002 (the "Sale Notice") pursuant to which the assets of Vision 21 and the outstanding capital stock and/or assets of certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors identified in the Sale Notice will be offered for public sale on August 12, 2002, pursuant to Section 9-610 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of Illinois and pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other related loan documents, as a result of the default by Vision 21 and the Subsidiary Guarantors of their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement and related loan documents.

It is not expected that the public sale will yield sufficient proceeds to satisfy the Indebtedness in full and, as a result, there will not be sufficient funds for disposition to the Vision 21 shareholders or creditors other than the Lenders. As a result, subsequent to the public sale Vision 21 will have no assets and will cease its current operations.

As it is expected that the Agent will bid for the collateral to be offered for public sale, management will resign from Vision 21 and continue with the operating subsidiaries in an effort to preserve the assets for the benefit of the Lenders and the other constituents of the operating Subsidiary Guarantors so that the business of such subsidiaries is not interrupted.

Copies of the Credit Agreement, as amended, and certain of the loan documents have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the reference to such documents set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of such documents which are incorporated herein by reference.

Resignation of Former Chairman of the Board

Effective June 10, 2002, Mark Gordon, the former Chairman of the Board of Vision 21 resigned as a director of Vision 21. Concurrently therewith, the Company, Dr. Gordon, Richard Jones, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and Ellen Gordon, the former Chief Operating Officer of the Company, also settled, in full, all remaining severance obligations to such former officers under their respective employment agreements. Howard Hoffmann who has served as a director of Vision 21 since September 2000, resumed his position as Chairman of the Board.
