              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 APRIL 30, 1994


(1) STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of Management, the information contained
herein reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations for the periods. The consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto should be read with the financial
statements and notes included in the Company's latest Annual Report on
Form 10-K. The January 29, 1994 balance sheet data is derived from audited
financial statements.

(2) COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share data rate based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents (stock options) with a dilutive effect
outstanding during the period, where applicable. The average number of shares of
common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents used to calculate earnings
per share were 20,337,158 and 19,978,861 for the thirteen weeks ended April 30,
1994 and May 1, 1993, respectively.

(3) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING

Effective January 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other than Pensions" ("SFAS No. 106"). SFAS No. 106 requires the Company to
accrue the estimated cost of retiree benefit payments during the years the
employee provides services. The Company previously expensed the cost of these
benefits, which are principally health care, as claims were incurred. The
Company elected to recognize in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 the cumulative
effect of this obligation resulting in a one-time charge against net earnings of
$4,805,992, net of $3,203,995 in income tax benefits.

(4) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, Employer's Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.
This Statement is effective for the Company's fiscal 1995 financial statements.
The effect of this Statement on the Company's consolidated financial statements
is not anticipated to be material.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company's principal business is the operation of a chain of super drug
stores under the name "Fay's Drugs." As of April 30, 1994, the Company was
operating 209 Fay's Drug stores, 50 traditional drug stores, 35 discount auto
supply stores, under the name "Wheels Discount Auto Supply," and 31 discount
office supply, party supply, book and greeting card stores under the name "The
Paper Cutter." Since the end of the first quarter of the precious fiscal year,
the Company has opened two Fay's Drug stores, four Wheels Discount Auto Supply
stores, six Paper Cutter stores, and acquired 12 traditional drug stores. During
the same period, the Company closed two Fay's Drug stores and one traditional
drug store. It also converted two traditional drug stores to Fay's Drug stores.

Net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 were $1,973,000 ($.10 per
share) compared to a net loss of $5,903,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
The net loss in fiscal 1994 included the result of the adoption of a new
accounting standard of postretirement benefits of $4.8 million ($.24 per share)
and changes associated with the April 1993 closing of nine Paper Cutter stores
located in the Philadelphia metropolitan area amounting to $4.8 million on a
pretax basis ($.14 per share). Excluding the unusual and one-time charges in
1993, net earnings for the quarter increased 13.7% from $1,736,000 ($.09 per
share).

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 were $239.1 million, which
represented and increase of 10.3% over first quarter fiscal 1994 sales of $216.7
million. Sales from comparable stores (those open one year or more as of April
30, 1994) increased 5.5% for the quarter. Sales increases are reflective of a
15.3% increase in pharmacy sales for the quarter. Excluding the effect of closed
stores, total sales increased 11.2% over the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

The gross profit rate on sales was 28.83% in the first quarter of fiscal 1995
compared to 29.75% for the same period last year. The decline in overall gross
profit is attributable to continued pressures on third party pharmacy margins,
decreased margins on promotional sales, and decreases in the gross profit rate
for the Wheels and Paper Cutter stores. In addition, the Company's mail order
division, Postscript, which operates at lower margins than the Company's retail
stores, began operations in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
24.80% in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to 25.61% for the same
period last year. The reduction in these expenses as a percentage of sales in
the first quarter of fiscal 1995 is due in part to expense reductions realized
from the sale or closure of 13 stores during the past year as well as the
leveraging of sales increases combined with tighter expense controls.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 30, 1994, the Company had cash of $1.1 million and total working
capital of $86.8 million. Cash flow from operations was $7.7 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1995. Operating cash flows were augmented by short-term
borrowings and were used primarily for expenditures for property and equipment
and the acquistion of two institutional pharmacies in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.

The Company continues to maintain a sound financial position and believes that
its operations and capital resources will provide sufficient cash availability
to meet its liquidity needs and to finance planned growth.
