                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of R-D Pharmacy & Books as of 
December 31, 1997, and the related statement of income, owners' 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 R-D Pharmacy & Books 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.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1997
                                       

1.   Summary of significant accounting policies

Organization

R-D PHARMACY & BOOKS, a sole proprietorship (the "Company"), owns and 
operates a retail pharmacy in Douglas, Wyoming.

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.

2.   Leases

The Company leases the retail store facilities on a month to month basis from a
related party.  Rent expense for fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 was
$7,800.

3.   Income Taxes

The Company is a sole proprietorship for income tax purposes.  The net 
taxable income of the Company is included in the personal income taxes of the 
owner. Therefore, no provisions or liability for federal income taxes is 
reflected in these statements.

5.   Subsequent events

On August 15, 1998 the Company sold a majority of its assets to HORIZON 
Pharmacies, Inc. and ceased operations.
