                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the July 31, 1995
financial statements which describe all accounting policies.

NOTE 2- METHOD OF DETERMINING INVENTORY AND INVENTORY THEFT:

     At the April 30, 1996 interim period, inventory was determined based on a
physical inventory count. At prior interim periods, inventory was determined
using an estimated gross profit method.

     At the end of May, 1996, based on information obtained from the interim
physical inventory, the company determined that inventory theft had occurred.
Upon further investigation, it was determined that such thefts had occurred
during each of the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.

     The company has restated its statements of operations and cash flows for
the three and nine months ended April 30, 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 balance sheet as of July 31,
1995, which was based on a physical inventory count, does not require
restatement.

     Subsequent to April 30, 1996, the company estimates an additional $600,000
of inventory theft occurred prior to its being detected. The company is
reviewing its records to ascertain the full extent of the theft and when it
began, and will reflect the results of that review in future reports. The
company has also engaged a prominent private detective agency to investigate the
thefts.


                                       -5-

<PAGE>

     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- EFFECT OF USE OF LAST-IN FIRST-OUT (LIFO) METHOD OF INVENTORY:

     As a result of information presently available, at April 30, 1996 and for
the three and nine months then ended, the company has increased inventory and
gross profit by $3,150,000 to give effect to a projected decrease in the LIFO
reserve of $4,200,000 as of July 31, 1996.

NOTE 4 - 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 April 30,1996, the FIFO book value
was $1.75 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 April 30, 1996 includes $293,014 on 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 April 30, 1996 Compared to Financial Condition at
July 31, 1995. From July 31, 1995 to April 30, 1996 , the Company's current
assets decreased to $99,647,298 from $104,623,389 and its current liabilities
decreased to $91,059,526 from $93,242,536. Such decrease was attributable to the
Company's lower inventory purchases. The Company's bank loan also decreased
during this period. The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities
remained substantially the same during the period, decreasing to 1.09:1 from
1.12:1.

     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 April 30, 1996, there were $58,974,000 of such eligible accounts
receivable out of a total of $66,447,000 or 89% and $36,605,000 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 $52,722,891 on April 30,
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 April 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 1995.

     Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1996 increased by 1.0% over
those for the 1995 period. This increase was attributable to price increases.
The number of stores remained basically unchanged at approximately 800.

     Gross profit for the period increased $1,850,596 from the 1995 period or
22.9%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 6.8% to 8.3%. The
increase was attributable to a $3,150,000 reduction in LIFO reserve for the
quarter. This was offset by $1,299,404 lower gross profit as a result of
competitive pressures.

     Total expenses (excluding inventory theft) for 1996 decreased by 4.2% over
such expenses for 1995. Operating expenses (excluding interest expense) for the
1996 period were down approximately 8.2% as compared to the 1995 period. The
reduction of operating expenses was due to lower salaries as a result of the
retirement of the president and the resignation of the Vice President of Data
Processing.

     Interest expense increased 11.4% on higher average borrowings due to higher
receivables, offset by lower inventory.

Nine Months Ended April 30, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended April 30, 1995

     Net sales for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 increased 2.8% over
those of the 1995 period. The increase was due to price increases offset by

slightly fewer stores serviced.

     Gross profit for the nine months increased by 3.0%. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales remained the same for both periods. The gross profit
benefited from a $3,150,000 reduction in LIFO reserve for the period offset by
lower gross profit as a result of competitive pressures.

     Total expenses (excluding inventory theft) for 1996 decreased by 2.1% over
such expenses for 1995. Operating expenses (excluding interest expense) for the
1996 period were down 4.3% as compared to 1995. Lower general and administrative
expenses resulted in the lower operating expenses. 

     Interest expenses increased 7.8% due to higher borrowing due to slower
payments on receivables, offset by lower inventory.

     The effect of the foregoing factors was that the Company's loss before
corporate taxes for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 increased by 121% from
the same period in 1995.

Method of Inventory and Inventory Theft

     At the April 30, 1996 interim period, inventory was determined based on a
physical count. At prior interim periods, inventory was determined using an
estimated gross profit method.

   
     On May 22, 1996, based on information obtained from the interim physical
inventory taken during the quarter ending April 30, 1996, the Company determined
that there was a substantial inventory shortage when the physical inventory was
compared to the Company's books. On May 31, 1996, the Company determined that
inventory theft had occurred during each of the fiscal years ending July 31,
1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996.

     The Company has therefore restated its statements of operations and cash
flows for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 1995 to correct the
calculation of inventory based upon the gross profit estimate method 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 balance sheet as of July 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, which were
based on a physical inventory count, did not require restatement.
    

   
     Subsequent to April 30, 1996, the Company estimates an additional $600,000
of inventory theft occurred prior to its being detected. The Company is
reviewing its records to ascertain the full extent of the theft and when it
began, and will reflect the results of that review in future reports. 
    

   
     The Company has engaged a private contractor to investigate the thefts and

is cooperating with federal, state and local law enforcement authorities to
determine the source of the theft.
    

   
     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 in its financial statements for the period ending April 30,
1996, since at this time, such recovery cannot be assured.
