     Eaton's gross margin declined due to lower reimbursements from insurance
companies, medicare and medicaid.  They believe they can off set this decline
by increased sales volume.  Anton's increase was the result of higher
supplies sales and lower sales in equipment sales (supplies sales generally
have a higher gross profit margin than equipment sales).  Conway's decrease
in margin was the result of three fire truck deliveries in the first quarter
of 1999. Fire trucks and equipment sales are sold at lower gross margins.  The
average gross profit margin for fire trucks is between 3-7%.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Consolidated selling, general,
and administrative expenses increased approximately 4.1% in 1999 to
$4,328,401 from $4,158,690 in 1998.  The following table shows the breakdown
by subsidiary (and corporate expenses) as follows:

  Results of Operations: continued,

     The main increases came from Eaton due to increased personnel costs.
Anton's and Conway's decrease is due to less personnel costs.  Nyer
Nutritional had decreased marketing expenses in 1999 as compared to 1998.

NET LOSS. In total, the Company experienced a net loss of $554,248 in 1999 as

     The majority of the loss came from the Company's subsidiary, Nyer
Nutritional, which showed a loss of $235,916 for the first six months of 1999
as compared to a loss of $261,854 for the same period in 1998.  Nyer Nutritional
generated no revenues for the first six months of 1999.  The Company has signed
a letter of intent to sell Nyer Nutritional Systems.  See Liquidity and Capital
Resources section.  Eaton incurred additional overhead costs associated with its
sale of a store, the implementation of a new computer system, and have seen a
decline in their margins due to lower than expected reimbursements from the
insurance companies.  ADCO's loss of $35,372 as compared to a loss of $48,732 in
1998, can be attributed to increased sales and margin which was partially off
set by costs associated with the start up of its respiratory division in
February of 1999 (which had minimal sales to offset the additional overhead)
and the development of an interactive web site which added additional overhead
with no sales to offset the costs until the third quarter of 1999.  Corporate
had a loss due to less interest income which help to reduce corporate overhead
costs and additional overhead for public relations.  ADCO South's net income
was the result of increased gross profit margins.  ADCO South also had minimal
equipment sales for the second quarter of 1999 as compared to 1998.  Anton and
reduction in their losses is due to less personnel costs due to less sales.
Conway had a change over in their sales force in the fourth quarter of 1998
and is just now starting to see increased sales due to the hiring of two
new salesmen.  Nyer Nutritional's decrease in overhead was due to less selling
and show expenses for the second quarter of 1999 as compared to 1998's second
quarter.

      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Results of Operations: continued,

     The Company currently owns 739,216 shares (or 31.5%) of the outstanding
common stock of Vectors.

     In December 1998, the Company wrote down its investment in Vectors to
zero due to significant uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to
recover its investment.

    Net interest expense as a percentage of sales was less than 1% in the
first three months of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     In January 1999, the Company sold certain assets of a pharmacy
for cash.

     During the first quarter of 1999, the Company's pharmacy chain
borrowed on its line of credit in the amount of $200,000.  The interest
rate is prime which was 8.00% as of August 23, 1999.

     The Company anticipates at current cash levels is adequate to fund the
operating needs and potential acquisitions for the foreseeable future.

     The Company has signed a letter of intent to sell its 80% interest
in Nyer Nutritional Systems, Inc., to a national medical distributing
organization.  Since its acquisition in December of 1996, this division has
incurred continuous losses.  The Company feels that this is a positive move to
streamline operations and provide increased shareholder value.

The selling price consists of a cash payment at closing and a percentage
of sales over a period of time.  The acquisition is subject to a definitive
asset purchase agreement. It is anticipated that this will close within the
next 40 days.

Safe Harbor under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The statements made above relating to the anticipated closing of the transaction
and receipt of future revenues are forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Some or all of the
results we anticipate from these forward-looking statements may not occur.
Important factors that could occur include contractual or due diligence
issues may arise which could cause the buyer not to close the proposed
transaction.  Additionally, even if closing occurs, the Company may not
receive the full amount of the purchase price due to competitive concerns,
internal matters relating to the business of the buyer and the failure of the
marketplace to accept the products of Nyer Nutritional.

Year 2000

    IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 - Computer Systems Compliance

     The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of the way computer
systems and programs define calendar dates; they could fail or make
miscalculations due to interpreting a date including "00" to mean
the year 1900, not year 2000.  Some computer programs were written
using two digits rather than four to define the appropriate year.
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions in normal business activities.

     The Company has substantially analyzed its computer systems,
including embedded chip technology, to determine the potential
technical and economic impact of the "Year 2000 Issue" on the
Company's systems and business operations.  In the last two
years, the Company has upgraded its major computer systems and
programs.  To date, the Company has identified only one of its
subsidiaries which will have to replace its computer system in
order to be Year 2000 compliant.  The Company estimates this cost
will be no greater than $15,000.

     The Company is requesting assurances from its outside
suppliers which it relies on for inventory and services and its
customers (which includes 3rd party insurance companies), that
they are Year 2000 Compliant.

     The Company does not expect that the costs of addressing the
Year 2000 issues (which are in the Company's control) will have a
material effect on their future operating results or financial
position.  The Company's management believes its in-house risks, as
associated with the Y2K problems, are minimal.  The Company has
limited or no control over their outside suppliers and its
customers Y2K problems.  Any failure of these parties could have
a material adverse effect on continued uninterrupted business
operations of the Company.

     At this time, the Company is in the process of developing a
contingency plan for its systems that are not Year 2000 compliant
and intends to have it in place by the third quarter of 1999.
