                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Genovese Retirement and Savings Plan Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan
benefits of The Genovese Retirement and Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the changes in assets available for plan benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

GENOVESE DRUG STORES, INC.
THE GENOVESE RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     PLAN DESCRIPTION

       The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
       Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete
       description of the Plan.

       a.     General - Genovese Drug Stores, Inc. (the "Employer") provides a
              retirement and savings plan for substantially all of its
              employees.  The Plan is a defined contribution plan.

              The Plan is available to all employees who have attained age 21
              and have completed one year of service. The normal retirement date
              under the Plan is the Employer's year-end date following the
              member's sixty-fifth birthday. Early retirements are permitted up
              to five years before the normal retirement date. Retirement
              benefits are reduced to the amount vested at that time.

       b.     Contributions - The Employer's contribution is made on a monthly
              basis and is determined by the Company's management. The
              contribution may consist of up to $.50 on each dollar that an
              employee contributes up to two percent of an employee's annual
              earning, as defined. Contributions may be made in cash or in
              shares of the Employer's Stock at the discretion of the Company's
              management.

       c.     Vesting - Employees have immediate vesting in their own
              contributions and the accumulated earnings thereon. Employer
              contributions and earnings thereon become 20 percent vested to
              members who are credited with one year of service as defined by
              the Plan. Vesting increases 20 percent for each of the next four
              years, with full vesting after five years of service.


2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       a.     Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have
              been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

       b.     Valuation of Investments - Investments are carried at quoted
              market value.  The increase in unrealized appreciation represents
              the changes in the quoted market value of the investments.

              Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date, realized
              gains and losses are based on average cost, and dividends are
              recorded when declared.

3.     PLAN TERMINATION POLICIES

       The Employer intends to continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the
       right to amend or terminate the Plan at its discretion. If the Plan is
       terminated, the interests of the participants would become fully vested
       and nonforfeitable.

4.     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

       The Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal
       Revenue Code and to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal
       Revenue Code. The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from
       the Internal Revenue Service dated October 12, 1993.
