Note 1.  The Company is a full-service, regional wholesale drug
         distributor.  From facilities in Missouri, Kentucky, Minnesota, South
         Dakota, and Florida, the Company distributes a broad range of
         pharmaceuticals and related products to its customers in more than 24
         states.  The Company focuses primarily on a target market sector,
         which includes independent retail, institutional, chain store and
         alternate site pharmacies throughout the Midwest and South. The
         Company also owns a 50% equity interest in Pharmaceutical Buyers,
         Inc. (PBI), a group purchasing organization with approximately 2,200
         members nationwide.

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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
         and six-month periods ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily
         indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's
         financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

         These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
         related notes contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to
         Stockholders.


Note 2.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
         Share" (SFAS 128), requires the computation of basic and diluted
         earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share are computed by
         dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
         outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are
         computed using the component mentioned above for the basic
         computation with the addition of: (1) the dilutive effect of
         outstanding stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury
         stock method); and (2) common shares issuable upon conversion of
         certain  convertible PBI stock.  The diluted computation for the
         quarter and six-months ended December 31, 1999 adds to income the
         earnings that would be included in the Company's consolidated net
         income for the periods as if the convertible PBI stock had been
         converted to the Company's common stock at the beginning of the
         period.

Note 3.  In August 1998, the Company, through a bankruptcy remote
         subsidiary, D & K Receivables Corp. ("D&KRC"), entered into a sales
         agreement that provided the Company with a three-year revolving
         accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Securitization").
         Under this facility and pursuant to a purchase and contribution
         agreement between the Company and D&KRC, the Company sells to D&KRC,
         on a non-recourse basis, all rights and interests in its accounts
         receivable.  Pursuant to the receivables purchase agreement, D&KRC in
         turn sells certain interests in the accounts receivable pool owned by
         D&KRC under similar terms to a third party purchaser.

         At December 31, 1999, the maximum allowable amount of receivables
         eligible to be sold is $60 million.  The amount available at any
         settlement date varies based upon the level of eligible receivables.
         Under this agreement, $43 million of accounts receivable were sold as
         of December 31, 1999.  This sale is reflected as a reduction in
         accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated
         balance sheets and as operating cash flows in the

<PAGE> 8
                                                                Page 8 of 18

         accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the
         six-month period ended December 31, 1999.  Accordingly, the Company's
         trade accounts receivable and long-term debt at December 31, 1999 are
         net of $43 million, which represent accounts receivable that were
         sold under the Securitization.

         The Securitization bears interest at the 30-day London Interbank
         Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus program and liquidity fees of 0.71%.

         In addition, the Company has a revolving line of credit, which, as of
         June 30, 1999, provided a maximum borrowing capacity of $95 million
         based upon eligible inventories.  In December 1999, an additional
         seasonal line of credit was added to this facility increasing the
         maximum borrowing capacity to $120 million during a seasonal period.
         Such seasonal period will start on or after October 1 but not later
         than December 1 of each year and continue until six months after the
         commencement of such seasonal period.  The advances bear interest at
         the daily LIBOR plus 1.75%. The Company also has the option to pay
         interest on the obligation at prime plus .25% per annum.  At December
         31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, the unused portion of the line of credit
         amounted to $33.4 million and $55.5 million, respectively.

         The Company also has an interest rate collar agreement, whereby the
         LIBOR on $10 million of the outstanding revolving line of credit
         balance shall not exceed 6.75%.  If the LIBOR is less than 5.25%,
         then the LIBOR rate on $7.5 million of the outstanding revolving line
         of credit balance shall not be less than 5.25%.  On March 31, 1999,
         the Company executed an additional interest rate collar agreement on
         $40 million of the outstanding revolving line of credit, whereby the
         LIBOR shall not exceed 6.85% nor be less than 4.93%.  At December 31,
         1999, the LIBOR was 5.83%.

Note 4.  The Company accounts for its 50% investment in PBI under the
         equity method. Equity income is recorded net, after reduction of
         goodwill amortization based on the excess of the amount paid for its
         interest in PBI over the fair value of PBI's underlying net assets at
         the date of the original investment. The Company's equity in the net
         income of PBI totaled $44,000 and $81,000 for the three-month periods
         ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 ($113,000 and $150,000,
         respectively, before goodwill amortization). The Company's equity in
         the net income of PBI totaled $279,000 and $242,000 for the six-month
         periods ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively
         ($417,000 and $380,000, respectively, before goodwill amortization).

         Certain other shareholders of PBI have the option to exchange their
         combined 20% ownership interests in PBI for shares of the Company's
         common stock under the terms of the original purchase agreement.
         Those options, which have been determined to be dilutive at December
         31,1999, are included in the

         reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share
         computation in Note 2 above.

Note 5.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company adopted
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures
         about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No.
         131).  This statement establishes standards for the way public
         companies report information about operating segments that is
         consistent with that made available to the management of the Company
         in allocating resources and assessing performance.

         After application of the aggregation criteria, the Company has three
         identifiable business segments, only one of which, Wholesale drug
         distribution, meets the quantitative thresholds for separate
         disclosure prescribed in SFAS No. 131.  This segment is described in
         Note 1.  The Company's equity investment in PBI (see Note 4) is a
         second segment.  Two wholly owned software subsidiaries; VC Services,
         Inc. (dba Viking Computer Services, Inc.) and Tykon, Inc. constitute
         the third segment.  Viking markets a pharmacy management software
         system and Tykon developed and markets a proprietary PC-based order
         entry/order confirmation system to the drug distribution industry.
         These two segments are combined as Other in the table below.

         Though the Wholesale drug distribution segment operates from several
         different facilities, the nature of its products and services, the
         types of customers and the methods used to distribute its products
         are similar and thus they have been aggregated for presentation
         purposes.  Intersegment sales have been recorded at amounts
         approximating market.

              D & K HEALTHCARE RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, and in the
         condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month
         and six-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
         respectively. The Company recommends that this discussion be read in
         conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
         accompanying notes included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to
         Stockholders.

         Certain statements in this document regarding future events,
         prospects, projections or financial performance are forward looking
         statements. Such forward looking statements are made pursuant to the
         safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
         Act of 1995 and may also be identified by words such as
         "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends" and
         similar expressions. Such statements are subject to risks and
         uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
         from those described in or suggested by such forward looking
         statements. These risks and uncertainties include the Company's
         ability to compete in a competitive industry, with many competitors
         having substantially greater resources than the Company and the
         Company's customers generally having the right to terminate their
         contracts with the Company or reduce purchasing levels on relatively
         short notice without penalty, the Company's ability to maintain or
         improve its operating margin with the industry's competitive pricing
         pressures, the changing business and regulatory environment,
         including possible changes in reimbursement for healthcare products
         and in manufacturers' pricing or distribution policies, the continued
         availability of investment buying opportunities, the loss of one or
         more key suppliers for which alternative sources may not be
         available, and the ability to integrate recently acquired businesses.
         Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
         forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's views as of
         the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
         update or revise any forward-looking statements.

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

         Net Sales  Net sales increased $138.6 million, or 69.9%, for the
         ---------
         quarter ended December 31, 1999, compared to the corresponding period
         of the prior year.  This increase was due to growth among the chain,
         independent pharmacy and mail order trade classes as a result of new
         customers and increased sales to

         existing customers and the acquisition of Jewett Drug Co. in June
         1999. Including the impact of the Jewett sales, mail order sales
         increased $68.7 million, independent pharmacy sales increased by
         $48.0 million and chain store sales increased $24.2 million.

         Net sales increased $282.7 million, or 74.9% for the six months ended
         December 31, 1999, compared to the corresponding period of the prior
         year. This increase was due to growth among the chain, independent
         pharmacy and mail order trade classes as a result of new customers
         and increased sales to existing customers and the acquisition of
         Jewett Drug Co. in June 1999. Including the impact of the Jewett
         sales, mail order sales increased $131.5 million, independent
         pharmacy sales increased by $87.2 million and chain store sales
         increased $72.4 million.

         In addition, the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1999
         contained $16.1 million and $25.8 million, respectively, in
         "dock-to-dock" sales, which are not included in net sales due to the
         Company's accounting policy of recording only the commission on such
         transactions as a component of cost of sales in its consolidated
         statements of operations.  "Dock-to-dock" sales were $43.8 million
         and $78.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended
         December 31, 1998.

         Gross Profit  Gross profit increased 33.0% to $13.0 million for the
         ------------
         quarter ended December 31, 1999, compared to the corresponding period
         of the prior year.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin
         decreased from 4.93% to 3.86% for the quarter ended December 31,
         1999, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.  The
         decrease in gross margin percentage was due primarily to sales mix
         and additionally to competitive pressures in the marketplace. Higher
         mail order sales as a result of the Jewett acquisition and increased
         sales to large chains, which carry a lower margin percentage, account
         for this decrease.  The gross margin computed on a first-in, first-out
         (FIFO) basis decreased from 5.07% to 3.89% for the quarter ended
         December 31, 1999, compared to the corresponding period of the prior
         year.

         Gross profit increased 36.5% to $24.8 million for the six months
         ended December 31, 1999, compared to the corresponding period of the
         prior year.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased
         from 4.81% to 3.76% for the six months ended December 31, 1999,
         compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.  The decrease
         in gross margin percentage was due primarily to sales mix and
         additionally to competitive pressures in the marketplace. Higher mail
         order sales as a result of the Jewett acquisition and increased sales
         to large chains, which carry a lower margin percentage, account for
         this decrease.  The gross margin computed on a first-in, first-out
         (FIFO) basis decreased from 4.93% to 3.78% for the six months ended
         December 31, 1999, compared to the corresponding period of the prior
         year.  Management anticipates continued competitive pressures.

         Operating Expenses   Operating expenses increased $1.5 million, or
         ------------------
         24.0%, for the quarter and increased $3.5 million, or 28.8%, to $15.6
         million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the
         corresponding periods of the prior year. The ratio of operating
         expenses to net sales for the quarter decreased to 2.37% from 3.24%
         while the ratio for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was 2.37%, an
         85 basis point decrease from the comparable period of the prior year.
         This decrease was a result of the increased sales and efficiencies
         realized from this higher sales activity. The increase in operating
         expenses for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1999
         resulted primarily from the addition of the Jewett operations.

         Interest Expense, Net  Net interest expense increased $1.1 million or
         ---------------------
         94.6% for the quarter and $2.0 million or 88.4% for the six months
         ended December 31, 1999, compared to the corresponding periods of the
         prior year. As a percentage of net sales, net interest expense
         increased to 0.70% from 0.61% for the quarter ended December 31,
         1999, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.  This
         ratio for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was 0.63%, or 5 basis
         points higher than the corresponding period of last year.  The
         increase interest expense was primarily due to higher debt levels
         associated with inventory held for potential Y2K demand that was not
         as significant as expected and higher interest rates at yearend.

         Other Income, Net  Other income, net increased from $59,000 to
         -----------------
         $65,000 for the quarter and increased from $268,000 to $315,000 for
         the six months ended December 31, 1999, compared to the corresponding
         periods of the prior year. The increase in other income, net for the
         six months ended December 31, 1999 was primarily due to higher equity
         in the net income of PBI.

         Effects of Inflation and LIFO Accounting  The effects of price
         ----------------------------------------
         inflation, measured by the excess of LIFO costs over FIFO costs, were
         approximately  $113,000 and $275,000, respectively, for the quarter
         ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and approximately
         $158,000 and $452,000, respectively, for the six months ended
         December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

         Provision for Income Taxes  The Company's effective income tax rate
         --------------------------
         of 38.5% is the rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal
         year ending June 30, 2000. This rate was greater than the federal
         income tax rate of 34% primarily because of the amortization of
         intangible assets that are not deductible for federal and state
         income tax purposes and offset by the reduced impact of state income
         taxes.  The overall rate is lower than the corresponding period of
         last year due to the impact of the Jewett acquisition on the blended
         state income tax rate.

         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
         the Securitization facility, and trade credit from its suppliers.
         The following measures are utilized by the Company as key indicators
         of the Company's liquidity and working capital management:

               Current ratio                   1.44 to 1       1.13 to 1
</TABLE>

         Working capital and the current ratio have increased as a result of
         seasonal increases in accounts receivable and inventories combined
         with a reduction in accounts payable as fiscal year end inventory
         purchases were paid for.

         The Company invested $1,353,000 in capital assets in the six-month
         period ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $350,000 in the
         corresponding period in the prior year.  The additional assets are
         primarily associated with the new facility in Lexington, Kentucky.
         The Company believes that continuing investment in capital assets is
         necessary to achieve its goal of improving operational efficiency,
         thereby enhancing its productivity and profitability.

         Cash inflows from financing activities totaled $42.1 million for the
         six-month period ended December 31, 1999 as compared to cash outflows
         of $19.9 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.  The
         current year increase in cash inflows is primarily due to the
         increase in the revolver as a result of the reduction in accounts
         payable.  The prior year outflows were primarily related to
         repayments under the revolving line of credit as a result of the
         funds made available from the initial Securitization.  At December
         31, 1999, the revolving line of credit provided a maximum borrowing
         capacity of $120.0 million, which includes the seasonal facility of
         $25 million. At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, the unused
         portion of the line of credit amounted to $33.4 million and $55.5
         million, respectively.  In addition, at December 31, 1999, the
         Securitization provided a maximum capacity of $60.0 million.  At
         December 31, 1999, $43.0 million was utilized.  Management believes
         that, together with internally generated funds, the Company's
         available capital resources will be sufficient to meet its
         foreseeable capital requirements.

         Year 2000:
         ---------

         Certain aspects of the Company's business (including that of its
         subsidiaries) could be affected by what has commonly become known as
         the Year 2000 or Y2K problem: however, the Company has not been
         adversely affected by any Year 2000 problems as of the filing date.
         Specifically, the problem derives from computer software, hardware
         and embedded chips which recognize, receive, process and store date
         data using only 2-digit years, and therefore, may malfunction when
         they encounter dates which are from the 21st century, rather than the
         1900's.  Computerized systems are fundamental to several key
         functions of the Company and its subsidiaries.

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company had cumulatively spent
         approximately $662,000 on its Year 2000 project primarily on
         remediation and testing the Company's software products and on
         contingency planning.

         Although there are no indications that any Y2K problems will arise,
         the Company will continue to monitor for potential Year 2000
         problems. While the Company believes it has taken a comprehensive
         and reasonable approach towards anticipating and addressing the
         potential impact of Y2K problems on its business, there can be no
         assurance that the Company internally, or any third party upon which
         the Company depends, will not be adversely affected by any such
         problems.

         As part of the foregoing Y2K discussion, the Company has used a
         significant number of forward looking statements (i.e. "expects",
         "believes", and similar phrases).  These are based on the Company's
         present knowledge and informed expectations which may change in the
         future based on new developments, facts and circumstances.

    THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND

                            Preliminary Statements
                            ----------------------

       A.   Lender, and Borrowers are parties to that certain Fourth Amended
and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 7, 1998 (as
amended, restated or renewed from time to time, the "Loan Agreement").
                                                     --------------
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
given them in the Loan Agreement.

       B.   D & K has requested that Lender amend certain provisions of the
Loan Agreement and certain other Loan Documents to increase the aggregate
amount of credit available under the Loan Agreement.

    NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

       1.   Increase in Credit Facility.  The Loan Agreement and all of the
            ---------------------------
Loan Documents are hereby amended to increase the Total Credit Facility from
$95,000,000 to $95,000,000 and, during the Seasonal Period, $120,000,000.
Accordingly, whenever the number "$95,000,000" appears in any Loan Document,
it shall be replaced with "$95,000,000, and, during the Seasonal Period,
$120,000,000."

       2.   Amendment of Negative Covenants.  Section 8.2 of the Loan Agreement
            -------------------------------
[RELATING TO NEGATIVE COVENANTS] is hereby deleted in its entirety and

            8.2   Negative Covenants.  During the term of this Agreement, and
                  ------------------
       thereafter for so long as there are any Obligations to Lender, each
       Borrower covenants that, unless Lender has first consented thereto in
       writing, it will not:

                  8.2.1    Mergers; Consolidations; Acquisitions.  Except as
                           -------------------------------------
       otherwise provided in this Section 8.2.1, merge or consolidate, or permit
       any Subsidiary of any Borrower to merge or consolidate, with any Person;
       nor acquire, nor permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or any
       substantial part of the Properties of any Person; provided that (i) the
       consolidation of PBI with D&K shall not constitute a violation of this
       covenant so long as such consolidation does not involve a merger and so
       long as D&K does not become directly or indirectly liable for any
       Indebtedness of PBI; (ii) the

                                      1

<PAGE> 2
       merger of Jaron into D&K, with D&K the surviving company, shall not
       constitute a violation of this covenant, and (iii) the Borrowers may make
       acquisitions of the Properties of any Person so long as the aggregate
       purchase price (however structured or denominated) for all acquisitions
       by the Borrowers for any fiscal year does not exceed $5,000,000.

                  8.2.2.   Loans.  Make, or permit any Subsidiary of any
                           -----
       Borrower to make, any loans or other advances of money (other than
       pursuant to the Securitization Documents, and other than for salary,
       travel advances, advances against commissions and other similar advances
       in the ordinary course of business) to any Person in excess of $250,000,
       and with an aggregate of not more than $750,000 outstanding at any time.

                  8.2.3.   Total Indebtedness.  Create, incur, assume, or suffer
                           -------------------
       to exist, or permit any Subsidiary of any Borrower to create, incur or
       suffer to exist, any Indebtedness, except:

                  to such Borrower;

                         (iv)    accounts payable to trade creditors and current
                  operating expenses (other than for Money Borrowed) which are
                  not aged more than 60 days from billing date or more than 30
                  days from the due date, in each case incurred in the ordinary
                  course of business and paid within such time period, unless
                  the same are being actively contested in good faith and by
                  appropriate and lawful proceedings; and Borrower or such
                  Subsidiary shall have set aside such reserves, if any, with
                  respect thereto as are required by GAAP and deemed adequate by
                  Borrower or such Subsidiary and its independent accountants;

                         (v)     Obligations to pay Rentals permitted by

                  endorsements of checks and other negotiable instruments for
                  deposit or collection in the ordinary course of business; and

                         (viii)  Indebtedness pursuant to the Securitization
                  Documents.

                  8.2.4.   Affiliate Transactions.  Enter into, or be a party
                           ----------------------
       to, or permit any Subsidiary of any Borrower to enter into or be a party
       to, any transaction with any Affiliate of such Borrower or stockholder,
       except in the ordinary course of and pursuant to the reasonable
       requirements of such Borrower's or such Subsidiary's business and upon
       fair and reasonable terms which are fully disclosed to Lender and are no
       less favorable to such Borrower than would obtain in a comparable arm's
       length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate or stockholder of such
       Borrower or such Subsidiary.  The

                                      2

<PAGE> 3
       parties hereto acknowledge that the conduct by Borrowers or their
       Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated by and in accordance with
       the Securitization Documents shall not violate the provisions of this
       Section.

                  8.2.5.   Limitation on Liens.  Create or suffer to exist, or
                           -------------------
       permit any Subsidiary of any Borrower to create or suffer to exist, any
       Lien upon any of its Property, income or profits, whether now owned or
       hereafter acquired, except:

                         (i)     Liens at any time granted in favor of Lender;

                  being contested in the manner described in subsection 7.1.12
                  hereto, but only if in Lender's judgment such Lien does not
                  adversely affect Lender's rights or the priority of Lender's
                  Lien in the Collateral;

                         (iii)   Liens arising in the ordinary course of
                  Borrower's business by operation of law or regulation, but
                  only if payment in respect of any such Lien is not at the
                  time required and such Liens do not, in the aggregate,
                  materially detract from the value of the Property of Borrower
                  or materially impair the use thereof in the operation of
                  Borrower's business;

                  Borrower's Subsidiaries to Borrower or another such
                  Subsidiary;

                         (vi)    such other Liens as appear on EXHIBIT P hereto;

                  Documents; and

                         (viii)  such other Liens as Lender may hereafter
                  approve in writing.

       Subordination Agreement relative thereto.

       prior to the payment of such dividend, D&K shall give Lender written
       notice describing the amount of such dividend.

                  8.2.8.   Capital Expenditures.  Make Capital Expenditures
                           --------------------

       the aggregate, as to Borrower and its Subsidiaries, exceed $4,000,000
       during any fiscal year of Borrowers.

       4.   Definitions.  Appendix A to the Loan Agreement [RELATING TO
            -----------
DEFINITIONS] is hereby amended by replacing certain definitions therein with
the new ones set forth below, as follows:

            Borrowing Base - as at any date of determination thereof, an amount
            --------------
       equal to the lesser of:

                  (i)    the Total Credit Facility, or

                  (ii)   an amount equal to (A) 70% of the value of Eligible
            Trading Company Inventory, plus (B) 65% of the value of all other
            Eligible Inventory at such date, calculated in each case on the
            basis of the lower of cost or market with the cost of raw materials
            and finished goods calculated on a first-in, first-out basis,

                  MINUS

            an amount equal to the sum of (A) the face amount of all letters of
            credit issued or guaranteed by Lender or any Affiliate of Lender for
            the account of a Borrower and

                                      5

<PAGE> 6
            outstanding at such date, and (B) any amounts which Lender may be
            obligated to pay in the future for the account of a Borrower.

            Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the aggregate
       amount of available Loans to or on behalf of Jaron will be reduced by the
       aggregate amount of Indebtedness of Jaron to D&K; and the aggregate
       amount of available Loans to or on behalf of Jewett will be reduced by
       the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of Jewett to D&K.

            ----------------------------------
       pharmaceutical products located in the Borrower's Davie, Florida facility
       and segregated from other Inventory located at such facility.

            Fixed Charges - For any period means the sum of (i) scheduled
            -------------

       to Indebtedness, plus (ii) Capital Expenditures which are not financed.

            Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness - Purchase Money Indebtedness
            -------------------------------------

       Purchase Money Lien and which, when aggregated with the principal amount
       of all other such Indebtedness and Capitalized Lease Obligations of all
       Borrowers at the time outstanding, does not exceed $3,000,000.  For the
       purpose of this definition, the principal amount of any Purchase Money
       Indebtedness consisting of capitalized leases shall be computed as a
       Capitalized Lease Obligation.

            Seasonal Period - A period each year during which the Total Credit
            ---------------
       Facility is increased, beginning on or after October 1 but not later than
       December 1 of each year and continuing until six months after
       commencement of such Seasonal Period.  Each year the Seasonal Period
       shall commence upon the date of the first Loan which, together with all

            ---------------------
       Period, $120,000,000.

favor of the Lender securing payment of the Obligations.
