Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 20, 2005, Netsmart Technologies, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a merger agreement with CMHC Systems, Inc. and Hayes Acquisition Corp., a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the merger, the owners of CMHC common stock and common stock purchase warrants will have the right to receive cash and .45175 of a share of the Registrant’s common stock. The total amounts of cash and stock deliverable by Netsmart upon consummation of the merger is $13 million in cash and 435,730 shares of Common Stock. In addition, former securities holders of CMHC will also have the right to receive the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital of CMHC on the closing date of the merger is greater than a negative $7.5 million.

In addition, a shareholder of CMHC beneficially owning approximately 68% of CMHC's common stock entered into a Shareholders Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement") pursuant to which such shareholder agreed to vote all of the shares of CMHC common stock that the shareholder is entitled to vote at any meeting, or in connection with any written consent, of the shareholders of CMHC in favor of the merger, the adoption of the Agreement and the other actions contemplated by the Agreement.

The Merger Agreement, together with exhibits, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and the Voting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto.
