                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JULY 31, 1994 AND 1993

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES

1.   Nature of Business

     The Company sells safety equipment and convenience items to industrial
     corporate customers (80% of business) from stores located at the customers'
     plants, and to numerous wholesale customers (20% of business) directly out
     of the Company's South Holland, Illinois warehouse.  Customers are
     concentrated in the midwest and are primarily in the automotive, steel and
     heavy machinery industries.

2.   Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
     highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
     to be cash equivalents.

3.   Inventory

     Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (computed on the first-in, first-
     out method) or market.  Inventory is marked down to market in the period in
     which it is determined that cost exceeds market.  The Company maintains
     significant quantities of certain items in excess of amounts expected to be
     sold during the current period to allow flexibility in meeting customer
     requirements.  The Company classifies all inventory as a current asset due
     to a policy of evaluating such items for return or exchange based on
     management's decisions as to appropriate stocks to be maintained in meeting
     customer needs.

4.   Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation and amortization
     are provided on the straight-line and accelerated methods over the
     estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

          Computer equipment                5  - 7
          Transportation equipment          5

          Warehouse equipment               5  - 7

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals
     and betterments are capitalized.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES (Continued)

5.   Income Taxes

     Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in
     the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred
     taxes.  Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of
     assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.
     The differences relate primarily to the expensing of certain costs for
     financial reporting purposes while capitalizing them as part of inventory
     for income tax reporting purposes.  The deferred tax assets and liabilities
     represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which
     will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are
     recovered or settled.

NOTE B - EXCESS OF FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED OVER COST

On August 18, 1993, the Company purchased certain assets for $70,000 from
Franklin Bank, N.A., at a public bulk sale.  The assets include inventory, trade
names and customer lists of Motown Glove and Safety, Inc.  The Company is
operating Motown as a division of the Company.

The fair market value of the assets purchased (primarily inventory) approximated
$380,000.  The Company amortizes the excess of the fair market value above cost
based on usage.  The unamortized balance is presented as a current liability and
the amount amortized is shown as other income as follows:

                                  (Unaudited)


The pro forma consolidated condensed statements of financial position and
operations as of and for the year ended May 31, 1995, is derived from the
Company's historical consolidated statements of financial position and
operations included in the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Safety Centers,
Inc.'s unaudited statements of financial position and operations for the period
August 1, 1994 through July 24, 1995.

The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the 8-K
Current Report dated July 24, 1995 and the Company's historical consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 1995 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of
operations which would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated on the
dates indicated, or which may be expected to occur in the future by reason of
such acquisition.

(a)  Pro forma reduction of interest income recognized by the Company, resulting
     from available cash being used to finance the acquisition of SCI, instead
     of earning interest income on short-term investments.

(b)  Pro forma adjustment to reflect the amortization expense associated with
     the non-compete agreement acquired.

(c)  Pro forma adjustment reduction of interest expense resulting from a lower
     interest rate available on the $5 million note payable assumed by the
     Company.

(d)  Pro forma income tax expense (credit) is recorded at the effective rate
     incurred by the Company, which was 36.5% for the period.

(e)  Pro forma adjustments to reflect only assets and liabilities that were
     purchased as stated in Form 8-K Current Report dated July 24, 1995.

(f)  Pro forma adjustment to reflect cash paid and stock distributed at the time
     of acquisition.

(g)  Pro forma adjustment to reflect the accounts receivable "holdback" amount
     which may be due to the seller at the intermediate or final post-closing
     (180 days from Closing Date of July 24, 1995).
