NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with
       the Notes to Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and
       Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition included in the
       Company's 1997 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and in this Form 10-Q
       Report.

       In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
       presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made.  The
       results of operations for the second quarter and first two quarters are
       not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
       year.  The fiscal quarters ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997.

NOTE 2 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

       In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," for all periods
       presented.  Basic earnings per share computations are determined based on
       the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period which
       was 2,932,000 shares and 2,924,000 shares in the second quarters of 1998
       and 1997, respectively, and 2,931,000 shares and 2,916,000 shares in the
       first two quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The effect of the
       exercise and conversion of all securities, including stock options are
       included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

  NOTE 3 - CONTINGENCIES

       Beginning  in 1991, the Company entered into various supply contracts
       with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense Department.
       In April 1997, the Company completed a review of its compliance with
       various pricing provisions of these contracts and, with the assistance of
       special legal counsel, concluded that adjustments may be due to the
       federal agencies for potential unasserted claims against the Company
       relating to pricing deficiencies under product supply contracts subject
       to General Services Administration and Department of Defense regulations.
       In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company established a $3.8 million
       reserve for estimated pricing deficiency liabilities and associated legal
       costs.  At the end of the second quarter of 1998, the reserve balance was
       $3.3 million.  The final amount of the pricing deficiency adjustment is
       subject to the outcome of contract settlement

                                       7

NOTE 3 - CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

       discussions which the Company has requested with the governmental
       agencies or to an adjudicated disposition.  In management's opinion, the
       ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse
       effect on the Company's financial position.  Although management believes
       that the reserve is sufficient, it is possible the final resolution could
       exceed such reserve and could have a material impact on the statement of
       operations and cash flow in such period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ----------------------

1998 PERIODS COMPARED WITH 1997 PERIODS
- ---------------------------------------

In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company exited from its wholesale drug
distribution business to concentrate on its remaining and more profitable
healthcare practitioner business.  The wholesale drug distribution business
generated approximately 60% of the Company's 1997 sales, while the remaining
healthcare practitioner business generated approximately 40% of its sales.
Sales by quarter in 1997 of the healthcare practitioner business were $24.7
million, $27.5 million, $31.4 million and $29.3 million in the first, second,
third and fourth quarters, respectively.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
SECOND QUARTER
1998 Compared with 1997
- -----------------------

Net sales of $30.0 million for the second quarter of 1998 decreased 61% from the
same quarter of 1997 due to the withdrawal from the wholesale drug distribution
business.  Sales of pharmaceuticals decreased 87% and sales of medical/surgical
supplies increased slightly.  Sales of the healthcare practitioner business for
the 1998 quarter were 9% higher than sales for this business in the comparable
quarter of 1997.

For the 1998 quarter, gross profit dollars decreased 18% to $ 9.4 million.  The
gross profit margin rate in the 1998 quarter increased to 31.1% of sales from
14.7% in the same quarter a year earlier.  Gross profit margins are higher in
the healthcare practitioner market than in the wholesale drug market.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 1998
decreased 21% from the quarter a year ago.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to reductions in staff, freight expense and other variable expenses
previously associated with the wholesale drug distribution business.  In the
1997 second quarter, a pre-tax charge of $580,000 was taken in connection with
exiting various federal government supply contracts.

The 1998 quarter benefited significantly from a $540,000 change in interest
charges, due to significant positive cash flows from exiting the wholesale drug
distribution business which positioned the Company with no debt and positive
cash balances during the 1998 quarter.

Net income for the 1998 quarter increased 167%.  A decrease in gross profit was
more than offset by decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses
and interest expense.  The decrease in expense associated with the 1997 charge
related to exiting federal government supply contracts accounts for most of the
increase in net income from the 1997 quarter to the 1998 quarter.  Net income in
the 1998 second quarter was not affected by any revenues or expenses of the
former wholesale drug distribution business.

FIRST TWO QUARTERS
1998 Compared with 1997
- -----------------------

Net sales for the first half of 1998 decreased 61% to $61.0 million from $158.1
million in the comparable 1997 period due to the withdrawal from the wholesale
drug distribution business.  Sales of pharmaceuticals decreased 87% and sales of
medical/surgical supplies increased 6%.  Sales of the healthcare practitioner
business for the 1998 first half were 15% higher than sales for this business in
the comparable period of 1997.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
For the 1998 first half, gross profit dollars decreased 17% to $ 18.7 million.
The gross profit margin rate in the 1998 half increased to 30.7% of sales from
14.3% in the same period a year earlier.  Gross profit margins are higher in the
healthcare practitioner market than in the wholesale drug market.

Selling, general and administrative expenses during the first half of 1998
decreased 18% compared with the first half of 1997.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to reductions in staff, freight expense and other variable expenses
previously associated with the wholesale drug distribution business.  In the
1997 first half, a pre-tax charge of $800,000 was taken in connection with
exiting various federal government supply contracts.

The 1998 first half benefited significantly from a $1,063,000 change in interest
charges, due to significant positive cash flows from exiting the wholesale drug
distribution business which positioned the Company with no debt and positive
cash balances during most of the 1998 first half.

Net income for the first half of 1998 increased 87% as compared to the same 1997
period.  A decrease in gross profit was more than offset by decreases in
selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.  The decrease
in expense associated with the 1997 charge related to exiting federal government
supply contracts accounts for the increase in net income from the 1997 first
half.   Net income in the 1998 first half was not affected by any revenues or
expenses of the former wholesale drug distribution business.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

During the first half of 1998, $3.4 million in funds provided by operating
activities were used to pay off the remaining bank debt of $1.5 million, for
capital expenditures of $1.5 million and accounted for an increase of $0.4
million in cash.  Operating activities generated cash of $4.2 million from a
decrease in accounts receivable, $1.1 million from net income, $0.6 million from
depreciation and amortization and $1.9 million from a net change in other assets
and liabilities.  Operating activities used cash of $1.8 million to increase
inventories and $2.7 million for a decrease in accounts payable.  The large
decrease in accounts receivable was due primarily to the collection of accounts
in connection with exiting from the wholesale drug distribution business.

The Company's bank financing agreement provides a $10 million revolving line of
credit through December, 1999.  The facility provides for funding limited by a
formula using accounts receivable balances and inventory levels as the primary
variables.  Interest on loans is charged at the prime rate or, at the option of
the Company, at the Eurodollar rate plus a rate in a range of 1% to 2% depending
on the financial leverage of the Company.  In addition, the Company pays a 1/4%
commitment fee on the unused line of credit.  Substantially all assets of the
Company have been pledged as collateral and the agreement contains covenants and

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
restrictions relating to asset protection, financial condition, dividends,
investments, acquisitions and certain other matters.

Management believes that the funding needs of the Company for operating working
capital and capital expenditures will continue to be met through income from
operations and financing available under its line of credit.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
- ---------------------------

From time to time, the Company or its representatives may have made or may make
forward-looking statements, orally or in writing.  Such forward-looking
statements may be included in, but, not limited to, press releases, oral
statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer, or
in this report or other filings made by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  The words or phrases "trend," "expect," "grow," "will,"
"could," "likely result," "planned," "continued," "anticipated," "estimated,"
"projected" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995.  The Company wishes to ensure that such statements are accompanied by
meaningful cautionary statements, so as to maximize to the fullest extent
possible the protections of the safe harbor established in the said Act.
Accordingly, such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to and
are accompanied by the following discussion of certain important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking
statements.

Investors should also be aware of factors that could have an impact on the
Company's business or financial position or performance.  These include
possible: pressures on revenues resulting, for example, from customer
consolidations or changes in customer buying patterns; intensified competition
resulting, for example, from distributor consolidations or pricing pressures
from distributors able to benefit from economies of scale or other operating
efficiencies; disruptions in services on which the Company is dependent, such as
by truckers in deliveries from its suppliers, by UPS or other common carriers in
deliveries to its customers, by its catalog printers or in telecommunication
services, or relating to its computer systems; unfavorable outcomes of
litigation to which the Company may become a party; and other factors detailed
from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings or
other readily available or generally disseminated writings.  The risks
identified here are not all inclusive.  Reference is also made to other parts of
this report that include additional information concerning factors that could
adversely impact the Company's business or financial position or performance.
Moreover, the Company operates in a changing and very competitive business
environment.  New risks may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for
management to predict all risk factors, nor can it necessarily identify or
assess the impact of all such factors on the Company or the extent to which any
factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements.  Accordingly, forward-
looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results.
