The Partners of Mart Super Drug                               January 29, 1998


                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Mart Super Drug as of
December 31, 1996, and the related statement of income, partners' 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 Mart Super Drug at December
31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996


1.  Summary of significant accounting policies

Organization

MART SUPER DRUG, a partnership between Scott S. Spencer and Jacques Jett, (the
"Company"), owns and operates a retail pharmacy in Brookfield, Missouri.

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 fixed assets 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.

2.  Leases

The Company leases the retail store facilities under an operating lease which
is scheduled to expire November 30, 1998.  The monthly lease payments are $650
and the annual rent for 1996 was $7,800.

3.  Subsequent events

On December 10, 1997 the Company sold a majority of its assets to HORIZON
Pharmacies, Inc. and ceased operations.

                      PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

     The following unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of
Income for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 reflect the historical results of operations of the
Company, adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Mart Super Drug
(the "Brookfield Store") in December 1997 as though such store was 
acquired January 1, 1996.  The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet
as of September 30, 1997 reflects the historical financial position of the
Company as of that date, adjusted to give pro forma effect to the acquisition
of the Brookfield Store as if it had occurred as of September 30, 1997.

     The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
assumptions that management of the Company believes are reasonable and fairly
reflect all expenses associated with the acquired business.  The Pro Forma
Combined Financial Data do not purport to represent the financial position or
results of operations which would have occurred had such transactions been
consummated on the dates indicated or the Company's financial position or
results of operations for any future date or period.  These Pro Forma
Combinded Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes of the Company
and the financial statements of the Brookfield Store.
