  declared  by the Board of Directors.  The holders of Class A and Class

  Company  are  entitled to vote.  Each share of Class B common stock is
  convertible at the option of the holder to one share of Class A common
  stock.    Additionally,  each  share  of Class B common stock shall be

  stock and three redeemable Class A and Class B warrants.  Each Class A
  warrant  entitled  the  holder to purchase one share of Class A common
  stock  and  one  Class  B warrant at an exercise price of $5.00.  Each
  Class B warrant entitles the holder to purchase for $7.50 one share of
  common  stock.    The  Class A and Class B warrants expired five years
  from the date of issuance.

  ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     A.    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
           JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994.

         Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were $64,432,369,
  representing a 16% increase over revenues of $55,345,135 for the three months
  ended June 30, 1994.

         This increase in revenues is attributable to an increase in sales
  volume for each segment of the Company's business, an expanded customer base
  and an increase in same store sales, which, together, have caused an increase
  in the volume of products sold.

          Contributions to this increase in revenues by product segment is as
  follows:

          Health and beauty aids increased 1.3% when compared to
          the same period in the previous year due to an increase
          in same store sales.

          Prestige designer fragrances grew 5.9% when compared to
          the same period in the prior year due to an expanded
          customer base and increases in same store sales.

          Nationally advertised non-perishable branded food
          products grew 5.9% when compared to the same period in
          the prior year due to an increase in the volume of
          products sold.

          Sales of prescription pharmaceuticals generated by the
          Company's subsidiary, M. Sobol, Inc., increased 144%
          when compared to the same period in the prior year due
          to an expanded customer base.

         Cost of revenues at June 30, 1995 increased by $2.4 million when
  compared to cost of revenues at March 31, 1995.  This increase represents
  increased unpaid purchases of inventory due to greater sales for the period.

         Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 11.2% for the
  three months ended June 30, 1995 when compared to 11.6% for the same period in
  the previous year.  This decrease was due to lower profit margins realized in
  the sales of prescription pharmaceuticals and grocery products during this
  period.  The Company expects that gross profit margins will continue to
  decrease because of deteriorating profit margins associated with its fragrance
  business due to increased competition.

         Warehouse, delivery, selling, general and administrative expenses 
  decreased as a percentage of sales to 6.4% for the three months ended June 30,
  1995 from 7.4% for the same period in the prior year.  This decrease is due,
  in part, to three officers of the Company waiving their rights to receive
  a bonus during this period, as provided in their employment agreements, while
  Selling, General and Administrative expenses during the quarter ended June 30,
  1994 included $250,380 for bonuses paid to such officers.  The Company also
  benefited from increased revenues during this period without a proportional

                                      -12-


  increase in operating expenses. This is attributable to cost cuts and improved
  operating efficiencies that have enabled the food business to impact favorably
  on income from operations despite the lower gross profit margins contributed
  by this segment of the business.  Because the Company pre-sells food products
  and then combines the food products with orders for the Company's other
  products, which are delivered as one shipment, the Company incurs minimum
  additional overhead expenses and realizes operating profit margins comparable
  to other segments of its business.  Operating efficiencies are further aided
  by a computerized data base management system which enables the Company to
  better manage its inventories and more closely align inventory purchases to
  sales of its products.

         Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased to
  1.9% from 1.4% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1994.  This
  increase is due to higher borrowing costs.

         Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was  $1,156,829 
  representing a 19% increase over net income of  $972,551 for the comparable 
  period in 1994.  The improvement in net income is due primarily to cost 
  savings and for the other reasons discussed above.

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company meets its working capital requirements from internally
  generated funds and from a financing agreement with a consortium of banks
  led by the First National Bank of Boston for financing the Company's accounts
  receivable and inventory.  As of June 30, 1995, the Company had $60,554,287
  outstanding under its $85,000,000 bank line of credit.  The loan is collatera-
  lized by the Company's inventory and accounts receivable. Interest on the loan
  balance is payable monthly at 3/8% above the prime rate of 2 1/8% above the
  Eurodollar rate, at the option of the Company.  The effective interest rate 
  charged to the Company at June 30, 1995 was  8.27% which was based on a combi-
  nation of 2 1/8% above the  Eurodollar rate and 3/8% above the prime rate. 
  The Company utilizes cash generated from operations to reduce short-term
  borrowings, which in turn acts to increase loan availability consistent with
  the Company's financing agreement.

         The Company's accounts receivable has increased from  $30,339,902 at
  June 30, 1994 to $38,024,676 at June 30, 1995 representing an increase of
  25.3%.  This increase in accounts  receivable is due to increased sales for
  the period and to customers which had previously paid the Company in an 
  average of 49 days at June 30, 1994 have been paying the Company in an average
  of 53 days at June 30, 1995.  The Company believes  the slowness in collection
  of accounts receivable is primarily a symptom of the poor regional economy.
  The Company does not anticipate this trend to continue once economic 
  conditions improve.

         The Company has minimal capital investment requirements and any signi-
  ficant capital expenditures are financed through long term lease agreements 
  that would not adversely impact cash flow.  The Company believes that its 
  internally generated funds and bank line of credit will be sufficient to
  meet its currently anticipated cash and capital needs through the fiscal year
  ending March 31, 1996.
