The Board of Directors and Shareholders                     September 30, 1998
CCB Consulting, Inc.




                           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CCB Consulting, Inc. as of
December 31, 1997, and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity 
and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of CCB Consulting, Inc. at
December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   Summary of significant accounting policies
     
Organization

CCB CONSULTING, INC., a Nebraska corporation (the "Company"), owns and operates
a retail pharmacy in Blair, Nebraska.

Basis of accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting and accordingly reflect revenues at the time products are sold or
services rendered.  Expenses are recognized when the products are received or
the services are performed.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. 
Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be
material to the financial statements.

Depreciation

Depreciation of equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.  

Unaudited financial statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting of normal, recurring accruals, which the Company considers necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations
for the indicated periods.

3.  Income taxes

income taxed under Section 1372 of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides 
that, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the shareholders are taxed on 
their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no 
provisions or liability for federal income taxes is reflected in these 
statements.

4.  Subsequent events

On July 31, 1998 the Company sold a majority of its assets to HORIZON
Pharmacies, Inc. and ceased operations.
