                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period
ended January 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended July 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto incorporated by reference in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996.

NOTE 2- INVENTORY DEFALCATION:

     At the end of May 1996, based on information obtained from the April 30,
1996 inventory, the company determined that an 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 reclassified its statements of operations and cash flows
for the six months ended January 31, 1996 to correct the calculation of the
gross profit estimate previously used and separately state the amount of the
inventory 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 since, at this time, such recovery cannot be assured. 

                                      -5-

NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIPTIONS

On November 1, 1996, the Company called for the payment of all
outstanding common stock subscriptions by December 31, 1996 or they
would be cancelled. As a result, $601,000 of common stock subscriptions
were cancelled during the period.


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 January 31,1997 Compared to Financial Condition
at July 31, 1996. From July 31, 1996 to January 31, 1997 , the Company's current
assets increased to $98,779,000 from $97,552,000 and its current liabilities
increased to $91,506,000 from $89,696.000. Such increase was attributable to the
Company's higher inventory offset by lower accounts receivable due to lower
sales. The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities remained
substantially the same during the period at 1:1 to 1.

         On November 1, 1996 the Company called for the payment of all
outstanding common stock subscriptions by December 31, 1996 or they would be
canceled. As a result $601,000 of common stock subscriptions were canceled
during the period.

         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 January 31, 1997, there were $55,858,000 of such eligible
accounts receivable out of a total of $62,562,000, or 89%, and $37,041,000 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 $48,238,000 on January
31,1997. 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 January 31,1997 Compared to Three Months Ended 
January 31,1996

         Net sales for the three months ended January 31, 1997 decreased 3.3%
from the 1996 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 for the three months, before the defalcation in the 1996
period, decreased by 19.8% in the 1997 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 5.9% in 1997 from 7.2% in the
1996 period.

         Gross profit for the three months, after the defalcation in the 1996
period, increased by 10.0% in the 1997 period. Gross profit, after the
defalcation, as a percentage of sales increased to 5.9% in 1997 from 5.2% in the
1996 period.

         Operating expenses increased 7.7% over the same period in 1996. This
increase was attributable to higher professional fees in connection with the
merger and to security and investigative costs incurred as a result of the
inventory defalcation.

         Interest expenses increased 9.3% due to higher average borrowings for
higher inventory levels.

         The effect of the foregoing factors was that the Company had income
before corporate taxes for the three months ended January 31,1997 versus a loss
for the same period in 1996. Income taxes were higher than the same period in
1996 resulting from the increased profit.

Six Months Ended January 31,1997 Compared to Six Months Ended January 31,1996

         Net sales for the six months ended January 31, 1997 decreased 4.0% from
the 1996 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 for the six months ended January 31,1997 decreased by
18.3% as compared to the same period, before the defalcation, in 1996.This was 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
1997 from 7.2% in the 1996 period.

         Gross profit for the six months, after the defalcation in the 1996
period, increased by 7.4% in the 1997 period. Gross profit, after the
defalcation, as a percentage of sales increased to 6.0% in 1997 from 5.4% in the
1996 period.

         Operating expenses increased 4.8% over the same period in 1996. This
increase was attributable to higher professional fees in connection with the
merger and to security and investigative costs incurred as a result of the
inventory defalcation.

         Interest expenses increased 2.1% due to higher average borrowings for
higher inventory levels.

         The effect of the foregoing factors was that the Company had income
before corporate taxes for the three months ended January 31,1997 versus a loss
for the same period in 1996. Income taxes were higher than the same period in
1996 resulting from the increased profit.
