                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




Fuqua Enterprises, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Lumex Division of Lumex,
Inc. (the "Lumex Division") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of, and all references to management in the accompanying
footnotes refer to, the management of Fuqua Enterprises, Inc. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Lumex Division at December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR 
                      THE PERIOD THEN ENDED IS UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   ACQUISITION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     On April 3, 1996, Fuqua Enterprises, Inc. ("Fuqua") acquired the Lumex
     Division of Lumex, Inc. for approximately $40,700,000 in cash, subject to a
     final purchase price adjustment as provided in the asset sale agreement.

     The 1995 financial statements include charges totaling $3,045,000 which
     relate to trade accounts and lease receivables ($1,904,000), warranty
     reserves ($107,000), intangible assets ($900,000) and inventory
     obsolescence ($134,000). Subsequent to March 13, 1996, these charges were
     determined appropriate to be included in the 1995 financial statements.

     The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position and
     results of operations and cash flows of the Lumex Division of Cybex
     International, Inc. (formerly Lumex Inc., the "Parent") and the lease
     receivables related to low air loss bed systems sold by the Lumex Division
     and financed by Cybex Financial Corp., an affiliated company (collectively,
     the "Lumex Division") and have been prepared to meet the requirements of
     Regulation S-X for the financial statements of a business acquired. These
     financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the Fuqua
     allocation of the purchase price which Fuqua paid for the Lumex Division.

2.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND
     OTHER MATTERS

     The Lumex Division develops and markets a wide range of health care
     products including specialty seating, bath safety, mobility products,
     health care beds and therapeutic support systems for the acute, long-term
     and home care markets.

     Cash and cash equivalents: All highly liquid investments with an original
     maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash
     equivalents.

     Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
     Inventory costs have been determined by the last-in first-out (LIFO)
     method.

     Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment, including
     expenditures for renewals and betterments, are recorded at cost.
     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets
     estimated useful lives (buildings-40 years; building improvements-15 years;
     machinery and equipment-3 to 10 years).

     Intangibles: Intangibles consist principally of patents, excess cost over
     assets acquired and trademarks which are recorded at cost and amortized
     over the estimated useful lives by the straight-line method for periods
     ranging from 5 to 30 years. The amounts of recorded intangibles determined
     to be unrecoverable are charged to results of operations in the period such
     determination is made (See Note 7).

     Advertising costs: The Lumex Division expenses advertising costs when
     incurred. The amounts of such costs were insignificant in each of the
     periods presented in these financial statements.

     Revenue recognition: Sales are recorded when goods are shipped.

     Product development: Product development costs are expensed as they are
     incurred. During 1995, the Lumex Division expensed $900,000 of the amounts
     paid to Airbed Corporation, representing purchased research and development
     costs.

     Income taxes: The Lumex Division's deferred tax assets/liabilities are
     recorded at the Parent Company level. The provision/benefit for income
     taxes has been determined on a Lumex Division stand alone basis.

                                                                      Item 7(a)

                          LUMEX DIVISION OF LUMEX, INC.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  (INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR
                       THE PERIOD THEN ENDED IS UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     Recent pronouncements: In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
     Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
     Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS
     121"), which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets
     used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
     undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
     than the assets' carrying amounts. SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting
     for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Lumex
     Division adopted SFAS 121 in the first quarter of 1996. The adoption of
     SFAS 121 did not impact the financial results of the Lumex Division. As
     described in Note 7, the $2,864,000 adjustment to certain intangibles in
     the first quarter of 1996 was required by generally accepted accounting
     principles which applied before the adoption of SFAS 121.

     Allocation of corporate charges: The Lumex Division's financial statements
     reflect operating expenses incurred by the Parent which have been allocated
     to the Lumex Division for each of the periods presented. These allocated
     expenses represent costs for executive management services and were
     determined based on the proportion of the Lumex Division sales and staff
     levels to the total incurred by Parent on a consolidated basis for 1993 and
     1994. For the calendar year 1995, the Parent modified the method of
     estimating the amount to be allocated to reflect the expenses that would be
     incurred by the Lumex Division on a stand alone basis. The amounts
     allocated to the Lumex Division were $135,682, $781,143 and $820,730 for
     December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

     Parent Company's Equity and Advances, Net: The Parent Company's Equity and
     Advances, Net, represents the Parent's accumulated equity in the Lumex
     Division as well as the net payable/receivable balances due to/from the
     Parent resulting from cash transfers and allocated expenses.

     Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
     statements and accompanying notes. Actual results inevitably will differ
     from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial
     statements.

3.   LEASES

     As Lessor: The Lumex Division offers lease financing to distributors of its
     low air loss bed systems under the terms of either a fixed payment lease or
     shared revenue lease contract, both of which are accounted for as sales
     type leases. Standard lease contracts contain fixed monthly payments and
     are generally for 36-48 months at which time title transfers to the lessee.
     Under shared revenue lease contracts the lessee pays the greater of a fixed
     percentage of monthly revenue collected from rentals of the equipment or a
     minimum monthly payment. Shared revenue lease contracts are generally for
     60 months at which time title does not pass to the lessee. Leases are
     secured by the equipment leased including any revenues derived therefrom.
     Lease receivables at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and March 31, 1996 was
     comprised of the following:

5.   ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

     In March 1994, the Office of the District Attorney Suffolk County, Long
     Island, New York initiated an investigation to determine whether regulated
     substances had been discharged from one of the Lumex Division's Bay Shore
     facilities in excess of permitted levels. An environmental consulting firm
     was engaged by the Lumex Division to conduct a more comprehensive site
     investigation, develop a remediation work plan and provide a remediation
     cost estimate. These activities were performed to determine the nature and
     extent of contaminants present on the site and to evaluate their potential
     off-site extent.

     At December 31, 1995, the Lumex Division had $1.3 million in reserves for
     remediation costs, including additional investigation costs which are
     probable of occurring. Reserves are established when it is probable that a
     liability has been incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. The
     Lumex Division's estimates of these costs were based upon currently enacted
     laws and regulations and the professional judgement of consultants and
     counsel. Where the available information was sufficient to estimate the
     amount of the liability, that estimate has been used. Where the information
     was only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability and no point
     within the range was more likely than another, the lower end of the range
     has been used. The Lumex Division has not assumed any such costs will be
     recoverable from third parties nor has the Lumex Division discounted any of
     its cost estimates although a portion of the remediation work plan would be
     performed over a period of years.

     The amounts of these liabilities are difficult to estimate due to such
     factors as the extent to which remedial actions may be required, laws and
     regulations change or the actual costs of remediation differ when the final
     work plan is performed. The estimate of the costs, which is not probable
     but for which there exists at least a reasonable possibility of occurrence,
     exceeds the current reserves by $2.2 million.

6.   BENEFIT PLANS

     The Lumex Division has a non-contributory defined contribution retirement
     plan (the "Retirement Plan") covering substantially all employees.
     Contributions to the Retirement Plan are based upon annual compensation for
     those persons employed (as defined) at December 31 and are funded annually.
     The Retirement Plan expense was $282,528, $259,755 and $237,116 for the
     years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

7.   INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND LEASE RECEIVABLES

     The accompanying unaudited interim financial information of the Lumex
     Division reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management,
     necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of
     operations at and for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Such interim
     results are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected
     for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial
     information does not include comparative information for the three months
     ended March 31, 1995 because sufficient data are not available to
     Management to enable it to prepare the financial information for such
     interim period.

     In February 1995, the Lumex Division acquired certain assets of Airbed
     Corporation ("Airbed") ("Acquisition Agreement") including all the rights,
     title and interest in the technology utilized in the Akrotech bed systems
     distributed by the Lumex Division under existing distributor agreements.
     Concurrently, the Lumex Division and Airbed entered into an exclusive
     Manufacturing Agreement pursuant to which Airbed would continue to
     manufacture the air control unit of the bed systems subject to certain
     conditions of product quality, delivery terms and pricing. The purchase
     price for these assets was $2.25 million plus certain contingent payments.

     Contingent payments were payable based upon the occurrence of certain
     events as described in the Acquisition Agreement. At December 31, 1995,
     contingent payments totaling $150,000 had been paid. A dispute arose
     between the Lumex Division and Airbed over the remaining contingent
     payments which was resolved under the terms of a Settlement Agreement
     entered into on March 29, 1996. In accordance with the Settlement
     Agreement, the Lumex Division agreed to make payments totaling $1,900,000,
     less amounts previously loaned to Airbed of $497,449. The balance due was
     payable in weekly installments through April 29, 1996 totaling $1,160,000
     with the balance due the earlier of three days after closing of the sale of
     the Lumex Division or May 3, 1996. The payments made pursuant to the
     Acquisition Agreement and Settlement Agreement, which were not related to
     purchased research and development, were included in intangible assets in
     the accompanying December 31, 1995 balance sheet.

     Subsequent to December 31, 1995, Management determined that the
     distributors through which Lumex sold the low air loss bed systems were
     returning large numbers of the bed systems. As a result, Management
     evaluated the recoverability of the intangible asset arising from the
     Acquisition and Settlements Agreements and, in accordance with Accounting
     Principles Board Opinion No. 17, wrote-off the remaining unamortized
     intangible asset balance of approximately $2,864,000 in the first quarter
     of 1996. Additionally, Management also determined that an intangible asset
     totaling $100,000, representing a license paid for rights to incorporate
     certain technology into a product line, was not feasible and was written
     off in the first quarter of 1996.

     Additionally, subsequent to December 31, 1995, Management identified
     distributors who were not going to be able to pay their lease obligations
     to the Lumex Division or would be able to do so only after adjustment of
     the terms of the lease or return of low air loss bed systems. As a result,
     an allowance for doubtful accounts was established in the first quarter of
     1996 to reserve for net lease receivables ($3,397,382) and trade accounts
     receivable ($222,500) which were outstanding at December 31, 1995.

                             FUQUA ENTERPRISES, INC.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTIONS REFLECTED IN THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL 
INFORMATION.

On April 3, 1996, Fuqua Enterprises, Inc. ("Fuqua") through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Lumex Medical Products, Inc. and MUL Acquisition Corp. II,
consummated the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of the medical products
operations of Lumex, Inc. for approximately $40.7 million in cash, subject to a
final purchase price adjustment as provided in the asset sale agreement. Under
the terms of the asset sale agreement, if Fuqua does not agree with Cybex
International, Inc. (formerly known as Lumex, Inc., the "Seller", the "Parent")
on the final purchase price adjustment, the disputed items will be submitted to
arbitration by an independent accounting firm. Fuqua has notified the Seller
that it does not accept the Seller's calculation of the final purchase price
adjustment and that Fuqua intends to resolve the dispute through arbitration.
Fuqua believes that the result of arbitration will decrease the purchase price.
The Acquisition has been reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial
information as though there will be no adjustment to the purchase price and that
the Acquisition occurred on the first day of each period presented for the Pro
Forma Condensed Statements of Operations, and at March 31, 1996 for the Pro
Forma Condensed Balance Sheet.

Fuqua financed the Acquisition with $7.7 million of its own cash and $33.0
million of borrowings, under Fuqua's Revolving Credit Facility provided by
SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, as agent, Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., First Union
National Bank of Georgia and Fleet Bank of Maine.

On November 8, 1995, Fuqua Enterprises, Inc. ("Fuqua") consummated the
acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of Basic
American Medical Products, Inc. ("Basic") as contemplated in the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, (the "Merger") dated as of October 6, 1995, by and among Basic,
BA Acquisition Corporation, Fuqua and with respect to certain provisions
thereof, Gene J. Minotto. Fuqua paid the shareholders of Basic approximately
$2,500,000 in cash and issued 600,000 shares of Fuqua Common Stock to Gene J.
Minotto, the controlling shareholder of Basic.

As reported on Fuqua's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated December 31, 1995,
Fuqua consummated the sale of 100% of the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary,
American Southern Insurance Company ("American Southern"), to Atlantic American
Corporation ("Atlantic") on December 31, 1995. The sale price was $34,000,000
and consisted of approximately $22,648,000 in cash and a note of approximately
$11,352,000 due October, 1996. The note accrued interest at the prime rate;
one-half of the interest was payable quarterly and the remaining interest was
due in October, 1996.

The Acquisition, Merger and the sale of American Southern described above are
each reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information included herein.

The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of Fuqua and Lumex Division. The historical
balances represent the financial position and results of operations for each
company and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on certain
assumptions and estimates which are subject to change. It does not purport to be
indicative of the financial position or results of operations that might have
occurred, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results.

    under Fuqua's Revolving Credit Facility, $7,700 in cash paid to the Sellers,
    $2,000 incurred in capitalizable transaction costs and the removal of the
    Parent Company's Equity and Advances.

(2) This adjustment represents the removal of the LIFO reserve as inventory is
    assumed to be valued at fair value.

(3) This represents amounts assigned to adjust property plant and equipment to
    fair value; to establish valuation amounts assigned to finished goods, work
    in process and raw materials concurrent with the shutdown of a bed
    production facility consolidated into another location by Fuqua as a result
    of the Acquisition; to satisfy obligations that will arise in the future
    relative to redundant facilities, facilities to be sold, commitments
    relative to reduction in workforce and other amounts representing costs
    associated with the Acquisition; and to establish goodwill for such amounts.

(4) This adjustment represents the goodwill which results from the Acquisition.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
                                       AND

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) This adjustment represents interest earned on the portion of the proceeds
    from the sale of American Southern represented by a receivable note which
    accrues interest at prime.

(2) This adjustment represents the income taxes which would result from the
    additional interest income earned on the note receivable portion of the
    proceeds from the sale of American Southern.

(3) This adjustment represents additional depreciation and amortization arising
    from the write-up of goodwill and property, plant and equipment to fair
    value, both of which are principally being amortized over 30 years.

(4) This adjustment represents interest expense arising from Fuqua's borrowing
    the $2,500 cash portion of the Merger's consideration.

(5) This adjustment represents the income tax reduction which would result from
    the additional interest on borrowings to finance the cash portion of the
    Merger's consideration.

(6) This adjustment represents the reduction in interest income arising from the
    use by Fuqua of its invested cash to consummate the cash portion of the
    purchase price of the Acquisition.

(7) This adjustment represents the reduction in amortization arising from
    goodwill which is being amortized over 30 years. Such reduction arises as a
    result of ascribing no value to certain intangibles that were amortized over
    shorter periods in the financial statements for Lumex Division.
