                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the July 31, 1996
financial statements, which describe all accounting policies.

NOTE 2- INVENTORY DEFALCATION:

     At the end of May, 1996, based on information obtained from the April 30,
1996 inventory, the company determined that inventory defalcation had occurred.
Upon further investigation, it was determined that such defalcations had
occurred during the periods prior to May,1996 presented in the accompanying
financial statements.


     The company has restated its statements of operations and cash flows for
the three months ended October 31, 1995 to correct the calculation of the gross
profit estimate previously used and separately state, as an expense, the amount
of the inventory theft. The provision (credit) for corporate taxes for these
periods have been restated accordingly.

      The company believes it may have insurance coverage totaling $2,000,000
as a possible recovery against the inventory theft. The company has not
provided for any recovery since, at this time, such recovery cannot be assured.

NOTE 3 - REGISTERED PUBLIC OFFERING:

On June 10, 1991, the company's Registration Statement on Form S-2 filed with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration
Statement") became effective. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the
company will offer up to 4,500,000 shares of its common stock, $1 par value. A
Post-Effective Amendment was filed on August 31, 1994. The offering price of
the common stock being sold will be its FIFO book value ( book value adjusted
for inventory and tax liabilities, stated as if the inventory was valued at the
lower of first-in, first-out cost or market) as of the close of the fiscal
quarter immediately preceding the sale. As of October 31,1996, the FIFO book
value was $1.55 per share. The outstanding subscribed shares are included in
the accompanying financial statements based on the purchase price at that date.
The difference between the par value and the purchase price of subscribed
common shares has been credited to additional paid-in capital. Additional
paid-in capital at October 31, 1996 includes $213,329 of such uncollected
subscriptions.

INFORMATION SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT:

While the information shown above is subject to adjustments on audit at the end
of the fiscal year all adjustments which are in the opinion of Management
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been
made.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations

          Financial Condition at October 31,1996 Compared to Financial
Condition at July 31, 1996. From July 31, 1996 to October 31, 1996, the
Company's current assets increased to $99,478,000 from $97,552,000 and its

current liabilities increased to $92,776,000 from $89,696.000. Such increase
was attributable to the Company's increase in inventory. The Company's ratio of
current assets to current liabilities remained substantially the same during
the period, decreasing to 1.07:1 from 1.09:1.

          The Company has an accounts receivable and inventory financing
arrangement with a bank under which it can borrow up to 70% of its eligible
accounts receivable and up to 50% of its eligible inventory, as defined.

          As of October 31, 1996, there were $55,930,000 of such eligible
accounts receivable out of a total of $62,071,000, or 90%, and $36,651,000 of
eligible FIFO inventory, an amount in excess of 99% of total inventory. The
maximum amount of borrowing with respect to its inventory pursuant to such
Agreements is $30,000,000. The combined borrowing limit for accounts receivable
and inventory is $80,000,000. Such limit is determined by the bank and may be
raised or lowered by the bank at its discretion.

          Total borrowings upon the line of credit equaled $51,164,000 on
October 31, 1996. On such date the interest rate with respect to such financing
was the prime rate plus 1-1/4% (9 1/2%).

          Inflation. The Company attempts to pass along price increases from
its suppliers as soon as it is notified of those increases so as to preserve
its gross profit margin and, subject to competitive pressures on particular
products, is generally successful in doing so. Accordingly, the historical
effect of inflation has been to increase the Company's revenues and profits.

Three Months Ended October 31, 1996 Compared to Three  Months Ended 
October 31, 1995

         Net sales for the three months ended October 31, 1996 decreased 4.7%
from the 1995 period. This decrease is attributable to many factors, primarily
the sale of a number of our independent pharmacy customers to chain store
non-customers and a limitation on acquiring new customers until the merger with
Neuman Health Services is completed.

         Gross profit before the defalcation for the three months decreased by
14.1% from the gross profit for the 1995 period as a result of lower sales and
lower margins due to competitive pressures. Gross profit before the defalcation
as a percentage of sales decreased to 6.0% in 1996 from 6.7% in the 1995
period.

          Operating expenses increased 4.1% over the same period in 1995. This
increase was attributable to higher professional fees in connection with the
merger and to security costs associated with the inventory defalcation.

          Interest expenses decreased 12.7% due to lower average borrowings for
lower inventory levels and lower interest rates.


          The effect of the foregoing factors was that the Company's income
before corporate taxes for the three months ended October 31, 1996 experienced
a 76% decrease from the same period in 1995. Income taxes were 76% lower than
the same period in 1995 resulting from the decreased profit.
