                                  (Unaudited)

Note 1.  The Company is a full-service, regional wholesale drug
         distributor. From facilities in Illinois, Kentucky and
         Minnesota, the Company distributes a broad range of
         pharmaceuticals and related products to its customers in
         19 states. The Company focuses primarily on a target
         market sector which includes independent retail,
         institutional, franchise and chain store pharmacies in
         the Midwest and Mid-South. The Company is currently
         operating in one business segment. The Company also owns
         a 50% equity interest in Pharmaceutical Buyers, Inc., a
         group purchasing organization with approximately 1,800
         members in 49 states.

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements have
         been prepared in accordance with the instructions to
         Form 10-Q and include all of the information and
         disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
         principles for interim reporting, which are less than
         those required for annual reporting. In the opinion of
         management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
         recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
         representation have been included. The results of
         operations for the three-month period ended June 30,
         1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full fiscal year.

         These condensed consolidated financial statements should
         be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
         financial statements and related notes of the Company
         for the fiscal year ended March 29, 1996 contained in
         the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Note 2.  In May 1996, the Company granted non-qualified stock
         options for an aggregate of 82,833 shares to certain key
         employees at an exercise price of $6.375 per share. The
         exercise price of all options granted pursuant to the
         1993 Stock Option Plan was equal to the fair market
         value of the stock on the date of grant. Stock options
         granted under the plan are immediately exercisable from
         the date of grant and expire not later than ten years
         from the date of grant.

         The following sets forth a summary of the options
      outstanding under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan
      and the 1993 Stock Option Plan:

Note 3.   Primary earnings per common share are computed by
          dividing net income by the sum of: (1) the weighted
          average number of common shares outstanding during the
          period; and (2) the dilutive effect of outstanding
          stock options and warrants (calculated using the
          treasury stock method). Fully diluted earnings per
          common share are computed using the components
          mentioned above for the primary computation with the
          addition of common shares issuable upon conversion of
          the Company's 11% convertible subordinated notes. The
          fully diluted computation adds back to income interest
          on the 11% convertible subordinated notes and deducts
          the income tax effect as if such notes had been
          converted into common stock at the beginning of the
          period. For the three-month periods ended June 30,
          1996,and June 30, 1995 fully diluted earnings per share
          is antidilutive.

Note 4.   The Company has buildings held for sale in Cairo,
          Illinois and Duluth, Minnesota. The buildings are for
          sale as a result of operation relocations and have June
          30, 1996 carrying values of $40,000 and $561,000,
          respectively. The buildings are expected to be sold
          during fiscal year 1997.

Note 5.   On July 2, 1996, the Company announced that it had been
          selected as the primary pharmaceutical supplier for a
          mail service pharmacy  and prescription management
          company. Once operational, the Company anticipates that
          this account will become one of its largest customers.
          The agreement became effective on August 1, 1996 and
          will be for a base period of two years with an option
          by the customer to renew for a third year.

Note 6.   In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
          issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
          (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
          Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
          Of."  The standard establishes accounting standards for
          the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
          intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be
          held and used, and for long-lived assets and certain
          identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. The Company
          adopted the statement in the first quarter of fiscal
          1997 with no impact on the consolidated financial
          statements of the Company.

Note 7.   In June 1996, the Company entered into a lease agreement
          with a local developer for the development and
          construction of a 60,000 square foot distribution
          center on a 6.5-acre tract of land in Cape Girardeau,
          Missouri. In order to facilitate growth and other
          operational efficiencies,  the Company intends to
          relocate its Cairo, Illinois operations to this new
          facility in December 1996 or January 1997. The term of
          the lease is for a period of ten years with two five-
          year renewal options. The Company expects the lease to
          be accounted for as an operating lease.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations.

          The discussion below is concerned with material changes
          in financial condition and results of operations in the
          condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30,
          1996 and March 29, 1996, and in the condensed
          consolidated statements of operations for the three-
          month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995.
          The Company recommends that this discussion be read in
          conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
          statements and accompanying notes included in the
          Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.

          Results of Operations:
          ---------------------

          Net Sales Net sales decreased 3.8% or $4.2 million for
          ---------
          the first quarter. Chain drug stores sales and
          independent pharmacies sales improved during the
          quarter by $3.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
          The increase in chain sales was realized primarily from
          increased sales to a large drug store chain and other
          drug store chain accounts. The independent pharmacy
          sales improvement was realized from new and existing
          retail accounts. Franchise sales decreased by $9.5
          million primarily due to the decision of a regional
          group of franchise pharmacies not to renew the
          Companys status as the groups primary supplier
          effective as of July 1, 1995.

          Gross Profit Gross profit decreased 4.2% to $5.0
          ------------
          million for three-month period. As a percentage of net
          sales, gross margin decreased from 4.8% to 4.7% for the
          three-month period compared to the corresponding period
          of the previous fiscal year. The decrease in gross
          margin percentage was due to the increase in the
          proportion of sales to lower margin chain drug store
          and institutional accounts.

          Operating Expenses Operating expenses decreased 9.9%
          ------------------
          or $.4 million to $4.0 million for the first quarter of
          fiscal 1997. As a percentage of net sales, operating
          expenses decreased in the recently completed quarter
          from 4.0% in fiscal 1996 to 3.8% in fiscal 1997. The
          significant decrease in operating expenses for the
          three-month period was attributable primarily to the
          Companys consolidation of the operations of NDC and
          KII in Minneapolis, Minnesota in fiscal year 1996. This
          consolidation eliminated significant duplicate overhead
          expenses associated with the former NDC facility. In
          addition, implementation of various cost cutting
          measures contributed to the decline of the first
          quarter operating expenses compared to the same period
          of the prior fiscal year.

          Interest Expense, Net Net interest expense decreased
          ---------------------
          1.0% or $10,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
          As a percentage of net sales, net interest expense
          increased from 0.8% to 0.9% in the quarter ended June
          30, 1996. The decrease in net interest expense resulted
          primarily from the Company's payment of $424,000 of
          unsecured notes in October 1995 plus interest at prime
          plus 1%. Such unsecured notes were issued in October
          1994 to former shareholders of NDC replacing
          outstanding debt obligations of NDC.

          Other, Net Other income decreased to $35,000 for the
          ----------
          three-month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to
          $81,000 for the corresponding period of the prior
          fiscal year. The decrease in other income was primarily
          due toreduced computer service income realized by the
          Company's Viking Computer Services subsidiary, compared
          to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
          Income from the 50% investment in PBI was also included
          in the current three-month period ended June 30, 1996.

          Effects of Inflation and LIFO Accounting The effects of
          ----------------------------------------
          price inflation, measured by the excess of LIFO costs
          over FIFO costs, were $122,000 and $43,000 for the
          three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
          respectively. The increase in LIFO charges in the
          recent three-month period were due primarily to the
          higher rate of product price inflation in the Companys
          pharmaceutical inventories.

          Provision for Income Taxes The Company's estimate of
          --------------------------
          the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for
          the full year, of 49.8%, which was applied to pretax
          income in the period ended June 30, 1996, was greater
          than the federal income tax rate of 35% primarily
          because of the amortization of intangible assets that
          are not deductible for federal and state income tax
          purposes and state income taxes.

          Financial Condition:
          -------------------

          Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working
          -------------------------------
          capital requirements are generally met through a
          combination of internally generated funds, borrowings
          under its revolving line of credit, and trade credit
          from its suppliers. The following ratios are utilized
          by the Company as key indicators of the Company's
          liquidity and working capital management:

     The decrease in working capital was due primarily to a
     decrease in cash and a $3.1 million decrease in inventory in
     excess the Company's increase in accounts receivable and
     decrease in accounts payable. The decrease in inventories
     was due to the consolidation of NDC and KII in fiscal 1996
     and the continued working capital synergies realized from
     combining the two operations into one facility. Also
     contributing to the decrease in inventory was the depletion
     of seasonal purchases of inventory made prior to the end of
     fiscal year 1996. Such purchases were in excess of normal
     replenishment quantities and are typical during the December
     and March quarters each year.

     The Company invested $153,000 in capital assets in the
     three-month period ended June 30, 1996. Included in this
     total is a $52,000 investment in D & K FOCUS software, a PC-
     based information management system for Group Purchasing
     Organization and Chain drug store headquarters. The Company
     believes that its investment in capital assets is necessary
     to achieve its goal of improving operational efficiency,
     thereby enhancing its productivity and ratio of expenses to
     net sales.

     At June 30, 1996, the revolving line of credit provided a
     maximum borrowing capacity of $50,000,000 plus a
     supplemental facility of up to $10,000,000 during the months
     of November through June of each year. At June 30, 1996 and
     March 29, 1996, the unused portion of the line of credit
     amounted to $6,097,000 and $3,880,000, respectively.
     Management believes that, together with internally generated
     funds, the Company's capital resources will be sufficient to
     meet the Company's foreseeable capital requirements.

     Approximately $1,000 has been credited to paid-in-capital
     during the three-month period ended June, 1996 to reflect
     compensation expense arising from the vesting of stock
     warrants. In addition, $30,000 has been credited to paid-in-
     capital during the three-month period as a result of
     employee stock options that were exercised.
