                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
                                      

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Carlen 
Corporation-Briargrove Pharmacy, Martin Drug Corporation-Interurban Pharmacy, 
and Stirniminn, Inc-Kirkwood Pharmacy as of December 31, 1997, and the 
related combined statement 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 combined financial position of Carlen 
Corporation-Briargrove Pharmacy, Martin Drug Corporation-Interurban Pharmacy, 
and Stirniminn, Inc-Kirkwood Pharmacy at December 31, 1997, and the results 
of its combined operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies
     
Organization

CARLEN CORPORATION-BRIARGROVE PHARMACY, MARTIN DRUG CORPORATION-INTERURBAN 
PHARMACY, and STIRNIMINN, INC-KIRKWOOD PHARMACY, three Texas corporations 
(the "Company"), own and operate retail pharmacies in Houston, Texas.  
Carlen Corporation-Briargrove Pharmacy has a fiscal year ended February 28, 
1998. Martin Drug Corporation-Interurban Pharmacy and Stirniminn, 
Inc-Kirkwood Pharmacy each have a fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The 
three corporations are owned by the same shareholder and the financial 
statements are combined for reporting purposes. The December 31, 1997 
reporting period represents the majority of the combined entities.

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.
