         Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                           October 29, 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 are 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. The average number of shares of common stock and
dilutive common stock equivalents used to calculate earnings per share were
20,404,914 and 20,066,910 for the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 1994 and
October 30, 1993, respectively, and 20,361,766 and 19,986,012 for the thirty-
nine weeks ended October 29, 1994 and October 30, 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.

           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 October 29, 1994, the Company was
operating 209 Fay's Drug stores, 64 traditional drug stores, 66 discount auto
supply stores under the name "Wheels Discount Auto Supply," and 32 discount
office supply, party supply, book and greeting card stores under the name "The
Paper Cutter." On June 15, 1994 the Company acquired the assets of 26 National
Auto Supply Stores in New York and four Whitlock Auto Supply stores in
Pennsylvania. In July 1994, the Company also acquired twelve traditional drug
stores via the purchase of the capital stock of Peterson Drug Company of Western
New York, Inc.

Since the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 1994, the Company has also
opened one Fay's Drug store, six Wheels Discount Auto Supply stores, four Paper
Cutter stores, and acquired eight traditional drug stores. During the same
period, the Company closed three Fay's Drug stores, one traditional drug store,
and converted two traditional drug stores to Fay's Drug stores. The Company also
closed one Wheels Discount Auto Supply Store and one acquired National Auto
Supply Store in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.

Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were $2,206,000 as compared to
$2,194,000 in the third quarter of the previous year. For the first three
quarters of fiscal 1995, earnings were $6,760,000 compared to $4,163,000 in
fiscal 1994 before the effect of the accounting change for postretirement
benefits. Included in fiscal 1994 year-to-date earnings were charges, after tax,
of $2,352,000 pertaining to nine Paper Cutter stores closed in the first quarter
of fiscal 1994. Excluding the charges for the Paper Cutter closings and the
change in accounting, net earnings for the first three quarters of fiscal 1995
increased 3.8% from $6,515,000 in fiscal 1994.

Sales for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 1995 were
$260.6 and $752.0 million, respectively, representing increases of 15.3% and 
13.2% over the same periods a year earlier.  Sales from comparable stores (those
open one year or more as of October 29, 1994) increased 4.2% for the quarter and
4.9% for the first three quarters of fiscal 1995. Sales increases are reflective
of a 22.2% increase in total pharmacy sales for the quarter and a 8.8% increase 
in pharmacy sales from comparable stores for the quarter.  Excluding the effect 
of closed stores, total sales for the quarter and the first three quarters of 
fiscal 1995 increased 19% and 14.2%, respectively,

The gross profit rate on sales was 29.35% in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
compared to 29.42% for the same period last year. For the first three quarters
of fiscal 1995, the gross profit decreased to 28.90% from 29.54% in the previous
year. The decline in gross profit is largely attributable to continued pressures
on third party pharmacy margins, combined with an increase in third party
prescription sales as a percentage of total pharmacy sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 25.46% of sales in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to 25.10% for the same period last year. This
increase was primarily the result of expenses incurred in connection with the
assimilation of the acquired National and Whitlock Auto Supply stores. For the
first three quarters, these expenses decreased from 25.14% of sales in fiscal
1994 to 24.87%. These decreases were due in part to the leveraging of payroll
expenditures in connection with sales increases and expense controls. In
addition they reflect a decrease, as a percentage of sales, in occupancy and
advertising costs due to the closure of underperforming locations within the
past twelve months.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At October 29, 1994, the Company had cash of $1.4 million and total working
capital of $99.8 million. Cash flow from operations totaled $3.2 million and was
used primarily for expenditures on property and equipment, the payment of cash
dividends, and reductions in long-term obligations. Fiscal 1995 acquisitions
have been funded primarily by additional long-term borrowings.

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.
