                             DRUG EMPORIUM, INC.
                       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
                            STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


1.       The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Drug
         Emporium, Inc. and subsidiaries.

         The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the
         opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the consolidated
         financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a
         consistent basis.  Certain amounts in prior period financial
         statements have been reclassified to conform with the current
         presentation.

2.       The Company's cost of sales is computed using the gross profit method.
         The gross profit percentage used is validated by physical inventories
         conducted twice a year primarily in the second and fourth quarters and
         the actual results of the LIFO calculations in the fourth quarter.

3.       The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are
         presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and
         consequently do not include all the disclosures normally required by
         generally accepted accounting principles.  Reference should be made to
         the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 1995
         (File No. 0-16998) for additional disclosures including a summary of
         the Company's accounting policies, which have not significantly
         changed.

4.       During the six months ended August 26, 1995, the Company acquired six
         stores in three separate transactions.  These acquisitions were
         accounted for as purchases.  Proforma results have not been presented
         since these acquisitions were not significant.            

         The consolidated statements of operations reflect the results of
         operations of the acquired enterprises since the dates acquired.

  For the quarter, average sales per store increased by four percent over the
prior year, however, total net sales decreased as a result of operating sixteen
fewer stores and a one percent decline in comparable store sales.

  The following table lists corporately-owned store openings and store closings
through the second quarter ended August 26, 1995 and the similar prior year
period.

</TABLE>

  Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased one percent during the second
quarter over Fiscal 1995.  This increase resulted from better shrink control, an
emphasis on lower product costs, selectively strengthened product pricing and
better category management, partially offset by reductions in the retail price
of most competitive items.

  Selling, administrative and occupancy expenses decreased in the second
quarter of Fiscal 1996 compared to the similar prior year period in total
dollars but increased slightly as a percentage of sales.  The reduction in cost
primarily resulted from the closure of underperforming stores, partially offset
by





                                       7
<PAGE>   8

increased pressure on these costs resulting from the investments in scanning
and shrink control, which includes equipment lease costs, the impact of the
rollout on labor productivity, and training costs.

  Interest expense has decreased over the prior year similar quarter primarily
from the payoff of the term debt in conjunction with a more favorable interest
rate, partially offset by the increased prime rate.





Inventory Valuation

  The Company uses the LIFO method of accounting for its inventories.  Under
this method, the cost of merchandise sold reported in the financial statements
approximates current cost.

  The Company, in computing its LIFO charge throughout the fiscal year, uses an
estimated percentage rate of inflation.  The estimated inflation rate used in
the table below was 2% for all periods.  This LIFO charge is adjusted at each
year-end based upon the actual weighted average percentage rate of inflation
during the fiscal year.

  The table below sets forth the LIFO charge for the first quarter ended
August 27, 1995 and the similar prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  In April 1995, the Company completed negotiations to improve its bank credit
agreement (Agreement) to allow for more flexibility in managing cash flow.  On
May 12, 1995, an amendment to the Agreement became effective which included
paying off the term debt under the Agreement, increasing the allowable
borrowings under the revolving credit line to $45,000,000, depending on
available collateral and extending the term of the Agreement to April 30, 1998.
The Company had $29,100,000 of available unused credit line at August 26, 1995.

 The Company believes that internally generated funds and borrowings available
under its Agreement are sufficient to finance the Company's current operations.
