               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Trustee of the D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc.
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and
Trust (the Plan) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December
31, 1998.  These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are
the responsibility of the Plan Administrator.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes, reportable transactions and nonexempt
transactions are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The fund information in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund information have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The information presented in the schedule of assets held for investment
purposes and schedule of reportable transactions does not disclose the
historical cost of certain investments.  Disclosure of this information is
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
                   -------------------------------------------

                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
                           --------------------------

1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
      ------------------------

The following description of the D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc. 401(k) Profit
Sharing Plan and Trust (the Plan) is provided for financial statement
purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan document for more
complete information.

General
- -------

The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by D&K Healthcare
Resources, Inc. (D&K or the Company) under the provisions of Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which includes a qualified cash or
deferred arrangement as described in Section 401(k) of the IRC, for the
benefit of eligible employees of the Company.  The Plan was established
January 1, 1995, to offer the employees of the Company a means of saving
funds, on a pretax basis, for retirement.  The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
Participation is voluntary.

Prior to July 1, 1997, full-time employees were eligible to participate in
the Plan upon reaching age 21 and completing 120 days of regular service.
Effective July 1, 1997, full-time employees are eligible to participate in
the Plan upon reaching age 21 and completing 30 days of regular service.

The Plan is administered by executives of D&K, with additional administrative
duties performed by Pension Associates of Wausau, Inc., a third-party plan
administrator.  The assets of the Plan are held in a trust by Nationwide
Insurance Company (Nationwide).

Contributions
- -------------

Plan participants may contribute up to 20% of their annual compensation,
subject to certain limitations.  Contributions may be made prior to federal
and certain other income taxes pursuant to Section 401(k) of the IRC.

The Company contribution is discretionary and is currently equivalent to 25%
of employees' contributions up to a maximum contribution based on 6% of
eligible compensation and is invested in the D&K Common Stock Fund.  In April
1999, the Company contribution to the Plan for 1998 was made in the form of
2,575 shares of D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc. common stock valued at
$66,332.

Investments
- -----------

Participants direct contributions into any of seven investment funds.
Members may change their investment elections quarterly.  A description of
each investment fund is provided below:

      Dreyfus A Bonds Plus
      --------------------

      For investment of contributions in a fund which invests
      principally in debt obligations of corporations, the U.S.
      Government and its agencies and instrumentalities, and major U.S.
      banking institutions.  At least 80% of the fund's portfolio is
      invested in bonds rated at least A by Moody's Investor Services,
      Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporation.  The fund seeks the
      maximum amount of current income to the extent consistent with
      the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.

                                 - 2 -


      Fidelity Asset Manager
      ----------------------

      For investment of contributions in a fund which diversifies
      across stocks, bonds and short-term and money market instruments,
      both in the United States and abroad.  The fund has a neutral
      mix, which represents the way the fund's investments will
      generally be allocated over the long term.  This mix will vary
      over short-term periods as fund management gradually adjusts the
      fund's holdings, within defined ranges, based on the current
      outlook for the different markets.  Neutral mix:  stocks 50% (can
      range from 30-70%), bonds 40% (can range from 20-60%), and short
      term/money market 10% (can range 0-50%).  The fund seeks high
      total return with reduced risk over the long term.

      Neuberger & Berman Guardian Fund
      --------------------------------

      For investment of contributions in a fund that invests in stocks
      of established, high quality companies considered to be
      undervalued in comparison to stocks of similar companies.  The
      fund seeks capital appreciation and current income.

      American Century:  Twentieth Century Ultra
      ------------------------------------------

      For investment of contributions in a fund that invests in the
      stocks of companies that demonstrate accelerating, sustainable
      earnings growth.  The fund's management team evaluates companies
      based on earnings and revenue trends.  The fund intends to remain
      fully invested in the stock market at all times.  The fund seeks
      capital appreciation over time by investing primarily in the
      common stocks of medium- and large-sized companies that exhibit
      accelerating growth.

      Oppenheimer Global Fund A
      -------------------------

      For investment of contributions in a fund that invests in foreign
      and U.S. markets using a disciplined theme approach.  The fund
      identifies key worldwide trends in order to focus on areas that
      the fund management believes offers some of the best
      opportunities for long-term growth.  These trends fall into three
      categories of change:  technological change,
      demographic/geopolitical change and changing resource need.  The
      fund utilizes techniques such as hedging, borrowing money for
      investment in securities and short-term trading.  The fund seeks
      capital appreciation and does not consider current income as an
      objective.

      Warburg Emerging Growth Fund
      ----------------------------

      For investment of contributions in a fund that invests in a
      portfolio of equity securities of domestic companies.  The fund
      ordinarily will invest at least 65% of its total assets in common
      stocks or warrants of emerging growth companies that represent
      attractive opportunities for maximum capital appreciation.
      Emerging growth companies are small- or medium-sized companies
      that have passed their start-up phase and that show positive
      earnings and prospects of achieving significant profits and gains
      in a relatively short period of time.  Emerging growth companies
      generally stand to benefit from new products or services,
      technological developments or changes in management and other
      factors and include smaller companies experiencing unusual
      developments affecting their market value.  The Emerging Growth
      Fund seeks maximum capital appreciation.

      Virtuoso Guaranteed Interest Fund
      ---------------------------------

      For investment of contributions in a guaranteed return contract
      with a quarterly interest rate that is indexed to the Treasury
      Note yield.  The interest earned in this contract can change
      quarterly if the yield on the Treasury Note index changes.  The
      assets invested in this contract are a part of the general assets
      of Nationwide.  In 1998, the return on this fund was 4.4%.

      D&K Common Stock Fund
      ---------------------

      Company contributions to this fund are invested in the common
      stock of D&K.  The fund may have cash on hand to meet current
      needs.  Accounts are valued as of the last day of the plan year.
      This fund is not an investment option for employee contributions.

Vesting
- -------

Participants are always 100% vested in the value of their contributions and
the earnings thereon.  Vesting of company contributions and the earnings
thereon is determined based on participants' years of vesting service.
Vesting service is any calendar year in which a participant was credited with
one thousand hours.  The vesting schedule is as follows:

     Death, disability or retirement                       100%
</TABLE>

Payments of Benefits
- --------------------

Amounts in a participant's account and the vested portion of a participant's
employer contributions are distributed upon retirement, death, disability or
other termination of employment.  Distributions from the D&K Common Stock
Fund are made in cash.  Forfeitures of the nonvested amounts are used to
reduce company discretionary contributions.

Loans to Employees
- ------------------

Participants of the Plan may borrow funds from their accounts up to $50,000
or 50% of their vested balances, whichever is less.  Loans are repayable
through payroll deductions.  The interest rate is determined by the prime
rate on the day the loan is processed.  At December 31, 1998, the range is
8.0-9.67%.  The outstanding balance of loans to participants was $14,605 and
$24,054  as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Plan Member Accounts
- --------------------

Individual accounts are maintained for each plan participant to reflect the
plan participant's share of the Plan's income, the Company's contribution and
the plan participant's contribution.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
      -------------------------------------------

Definition of the Plan Year
- ---------------------------

The Plan year is a calendar year ending December 31.

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting.


<PAGE> 11

                                   - 4 -


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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported additions to and deductions from net assets available for
benefits during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------

The Company pays all administrative expenses of the Plan.

Valuation of Investments
- ------------------------

Investments in mutual funds and D&K stock are valued using publicly stated
quotes as of the close of business on the last day of the plan year.  All
investments of the Plan are listed at unit value, as determined by
Nationwide.  Unit value is calculated as the appreciation/depreciation of
each mutual fund based on an original index of $1.00 per unit in relation to
the net asset value per each fund's market listing.

The Plan's guaranteed interest fund is included in the financial statements
at December 31, 1998, at contract value, which approximates market value as
reported to the Plan by Nationwide.  Contract value represents the deposits
less withdrawals made under the contract plus interest earned through the end
of the plan year.  The guaranteed interest fund has an average yield
approximating the guaranteed rate of return.  The guaranteed interest fund
has a quarterly interest guarantee which is based on the five-year U.S.
Treasury Note yield.  The interest earned in this fund can change quarterly
if the yield on the five-year U.S. Treasury Note index changes.  Interest is
credited to each participant's account.

3.    TAX STATUS:
      -----------

The Plan has not obtained a determination letter from the IRS, however, the
Plan administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan is currently
being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and
was tax exempt through the year ended December 31, 1998.

4.    DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS UPON TERMINATION OF THE PLAN:
      ----------------------------------------------------

D&K reserves the right to terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any
time.  In the event of termination, all amounts credited to the participant
accounts will become 100% vested.  If the Plan is terminated at any time or
contributions are completely discontinued and D&K determines that the Trust
shall be terminated, all accounts shall be revalued as if the termination
date were a valuation date and such accounts shall be distributed to
participants.  If the Plan is terminated or contributions completely
discontinued but D&K determines that the Trust shall be continued pursuant to
the terms of the trust agreement, no further contributions shall be made by
participants or the Company, but the trust shall be administered as though
the Plan were otherwise in effect.

5.    RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500:
      ----------------------------

For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Plan had approximately $27,984 of
pending distributions to participants who elected either a withdrawal or
final payment of their benefits from the Plan.  These amounts are recorded as
a liability in the Plan's Form 5500; however, these amounts are not recorded
as a liability in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
