  Item 2.   Other Events
  
  On October 24, 2000, HealthCentral.com (the "Company") issued a press release
  announcing that it had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
  October 23, 2000 (the "Asset Agreement"), by and among the Company, HCEN
  Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition
  Sub"), more.com, Inc. ("MCI") and Comfort Living, Inc., a wholly owned
  subsidiary of MCI ("Comfort Living"). Under the terms of the Asset Agreement,
  Acquisition Sub will acquire certain assets and liabilities of MCI and Comfort
  Living in exchange for shares of common stock of the Company (the
  "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is subject to various conditions set forth in
  the Asset Agreement. This press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and
  incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Exhibit 99.1 to this current
  report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that reflect management's
  goals, objectives and expectations. These statements relate to, among other
  things, benefits to be realized from the Acquisition. Achievement of the
  expressed goals, objectives and expectations is subject to certain risks and
  uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
  goals, objectives or expectations. Important factors that may cause such
  differences include, but are not limited to, the Company's limited operating
  history and need to generate revenues, any failure to integrate the more.com
  acquisition and other acquisitions or manage growth, the substantial competition
  in the eHealth market, the Company's substantial payment obligations, risks
  inherent in operating an online pharmacy, possible liability related to content
  on or accessed through the Company's Web sites, the need to build a brand name
  quickly, the effect of substantial and changing government regulation, possible
  systems interruptions, and a failure to attract and retain key employees and
  risks related to intellectual property. Such forwarding-looking statements speak
  only as of the date on which such statements were made, and the Company
  undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect
  events or circumstances after the date on which any such statement is made to
  reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Additional discussions of the
  risks faced by the Company are contained in its S-1 registration statement, its
  Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
  and its other filings with the Security and Exchange Commission.
