NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 07, 1994 AND MAY 08, 1993
1. Net income per common share for all periods was computed by dividing net
income by the average weighted number of shares outstanding during the
periods. Outstanding stock options are common stock equivalents but
were excluded from the primary net income per common share computations
as their effect was not material. Fully diluted net income per common
share was determined on the assumption that all convertible subordinated
debentures were converted and all stock options outstanding were
exercised. Conversion was assumed during the portion of each period
that the debentures and the options were outstanding. For the
debentures, net income was adjusted for interest, net of income tax
effects; for the stock options, outstanding shares were decreased by the
number of shares that could have been purchased with the proceeds from
the exercise, using the end of the period market price.
2. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made which are
necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results of operations of
the interim period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
OPERATING RESULTS
Net Sales
Sales for the fourteen week period increased 18.9% over the prior year.
The increase in net sales was primarily the result of increased sales in
existing stores (8.2%) and sales in the forty-five (45) acquired Treasury Drug
stores.
Store Cost and Expense
As a percentage of net sales, cost of products sold declined slightly to
69.5% from 69.7% in the prior year. The decline in cost of products sold as a
percentage of net sales was a result of higher gross margins in stores and
efficiencies in distribution center operations.
Store operating, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales declined slightly to 24.7% from 24.9% in the prior year. The decline
was due to higher start up expense in the forty-five (45) acquired Treasury
Drug stores in the prior year.
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales increased to
1.6% from 1.5% in the prior year. This increase as a percent of net sales was
the result of the increase in total store count open during the period coupled
with the installation of an enhanced point of sale system.
Interest expense as a percentage of net sales remained steady at .6% in
both periods.
The Company's effective tax rate was 36.2% in fiscal 1994. The increase
from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1995 is due to the 1993 Tax Act which increased the
maximum corporate Federal income tax rate to 35%. This increased the fiscal
1995 tax provision on current year earnings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's capital requirements relate primarily to opening and
stocking new store, acquiring stores, refurbishing existing stores and
supporting inventory for the Company's existing stores. The cost of opening a
new Big B Drugs store requires approximately $400,000 and a Drugs for Less
store requires approximately $1.1 million for fixtures, equipment, and
inventory. Historically, the Company has been able to lease its store
locations and currently owns the land and building of only one of its drug
stores. The Company plans to open 15 to 20 new stores in fiscal 1995 and
fiscal 1996 at an anticipated aggregate capital outlay of $8.0 to $10.0 million
each fiscal year. Additionally in fiscal 1995, the Company plans to complete
installations of an enhanced point of sale system at a cost of approximately
$4.5 million.
The Company believes that internally generated funds, and borrowings on
its $50.00 million revolving credit facility ($20.7 million outstanding at May
07, 1994) and $15 million line of credit ($12.0 million outstanding at May 07,
1994) will be adequate to meet the projected capital expenditures noted above.
