Jones Low Priced Drugs, Inc.


                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Jones Low Priced Drugs,
Inc. as of December 31, 1998, and the related 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 financial position of Jones Low Priced Drugs, Inc.
at December 31, 1998, 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, 1998


1.  Summary of significant accounting policies

Organization

JONES LOW PRICED DRUGS, INC., a Washington S-corporation (the "Company"),
owns and operates two retail pharmacies in Spokane and Deer Park, Washington.

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.

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the company to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable.

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.

Income taxes

No historical provisions for income taxes were included in the Company's
financial statements as income taxes, if any, were payable by the
shareholders under provisions of subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.

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.

and become vested over time. The total contribution for 1998 was $13,095.

4.  Subsequent events
