             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)

Note 1.  The Company is a full-service, regional wholesale drug distributor,
         supplying customers from facilities in Missouri, Florida, Kentucky,
         Minnesota, and South Dakota.  The Company distributes a broad range
         of pharmaceuticals and related products to its customers in more than
         24 states primarily in the Midwest and South.  The Company focuses
         primarily on a target market sector, which includes independent
         retail, institutional, franchise, chain store and alternate site
         pharmacies. The Company also develops and markets sophisticated
         pharmacy systems software through two wholly owned subsidiaries,
         Tykon, Inc., and Viking Computer Services.  In addition, the Company
         owns a 50% equity interest in Pharmaceutical Buyers, Inc. (PBI), a
         leading alternate site group purchasing organization.

         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
         period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
         results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

         In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the
         Company changed its method of determining the cost of inventories to
         the first-in, first-out method from the last-in, first-out method.
         Accordingly, previously reported figures have been restated to
         reflect the effect of the accounting change. 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 2000 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 ended September 30, 2000 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.

         The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and
         diluted earnings per common share computations is as follows:

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 September 30, 2000, the maximum allowable amount of receivables
         eligible to be sold is $75 million.  The amount available at any
         settlement date varies based upon the level of eligible receivables.
         Under this agreement, $75 million of accounts receivable were sold as
         of September 30, 2000.  This sale is reflected as a reduction in
         accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated
         balance sheets and as operating cash flows in the accompanying
         condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month
         period ended September 30, 2000.  Accordingly, the Company's trade
         accounts receivable and long-term debt at September 30, 2000 are net
         of $75 million, which represent accounts receivable that were sold
         under the Securitization. The Securitization bears interest based on
         30-day commercial paper rates plus program and liquidity fees of
         0.71%.

         In addition, the Company has a revolving line of credit that, as of
         June 30, 2000, provided a maximum borrowing capacity of $120 million
         based upon eligible inventories.  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

<PAGE> 8
                                                                Page 8 of 15

         plus .25% per annum.  Effective September 30, 2000, the Company
         executed a one-year extension, to August 2002, of its revolving
         credit facility and increased availability under the facility to $130
         million year round.  The facility had been capped at $95 million with
         a $25 million seasonal overline.  On May 4, 2000, the Company fixed
         $20 million of the revolving line of credit at a nominal rate of
         7.30%, expiring in August 2001.  In October 2000, this arrangement
         was renegotiated to a rate of 6.99% with a termination date of August
         2002.

         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%.  In addition, the
         Company has 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 September
         30, 2000, the LIBOR was 6.62%.  Both of these agreements expire in
         August 2001.   In October 2000, a $50 million interest rate cap
         agreement was executed with the LIBOR rate capped at 7.25%.  This
         agreement is for the period August 2001 through August 2002.


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 $230,000 and $235,000 for the three-month periods ended
         September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively ($297,000 and
         $304,000, respectively, before goodwill amortization).

         Certain other shareholders of PBI have the option to exchange their
         combined 20% ownership interests in PBI for a fixed number of 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 September 30, 2000, are included in the reconciliation of
         the basic and diluted earnings per share computation in Note 2 above.


Note 5.  Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
         "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
         Information", 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.  The Company operates principally in the United States.
         Intersegment sales have been recorded at amounts approximating
         market.

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 September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, and in the
         condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month
         period ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, 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 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders.
         In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the
         Company changed its method of determining the cost of inventories to
         the first-in, first-out method from the last-in, first-out method.
         Accordingly, previously reported figures have been restated to
         reflect the effect of the accounting change.

         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, changes in interest rates, 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 that 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 $27.3 million, or 8.4%, for the
         ---------
         quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to the corresponding
         period of the prior year.  Sales growth was primarily in the chain
         and independent pharmacy groups.  Chain sales increased $88.9 million
         over the first quarter of fiscal 2000 due to

                                                               Page 11 of 15

         infrastructure investments and a focused effort on this trade class.
         Sales to independents increased $19.2 million while mail order sales
         decreased $84.2 million as a result of the loss of two mail order
         customers during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.

         In addition, the quarter ended September 30, 2000 contained $22.1
         million 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
         $9.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

         Gross Profit  Gross profit increased 23.1% to $14.6 million for the
         ------------
         quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to the corresponding
         period of the prior year.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin
         increased from 3.67% to 4.16% for the quarter ended September 30,
         2000, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.  The
         increase in gross margin percentage was due to sales mix as a result
         of the discontinuance of lower gross profit business from the mail
         order customers mentioned above.

         Operating Expenses   Operating expenses increased $1.5 million, or
         ------------------
         20.1%, to $9.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000,
         compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The ratio of
         operating expenses to net sales for the quarter increased to 2.63%
         from 2.37% when compared to the fiscal quarter of fiscal 2000.  The
         increase in operating expenses and the ratio of operating expenses to
         net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 resulted primarily
         from a shift in sales mix to accounts requiring a higher level of
         service and related expense.

         Interest Expense, Net  Net interest expense increased $1.2 million or
         ---------------------
         68.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to the
         corresponding period of the prior year. As a percentage of net sales,
         net interest expense increased from 0.56% to 0.87% of net sales for
         the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to the corresponding
         period of the prior year.  The increase in net interest expense is
         primarily the result of higher interest rates and higher average
         borrowings related to the Company's continued growth.

         Provision for Income Taxes  The Company's effective income tax rate
         --------------------------
         of 39.0% is the rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal
         year ending June 30, 2001. 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 income tax purposes.
         The overall rate is slightly higher than the corresponding period of
         last year due to the impact of the sales mix 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 Company utilizes the following measures as key indicators of the
         Company's liquidity and working capital management:

                                                September 30,   June 30,
                                                    2000          2000

             Working capital (000's)              $76,676       $93,556
             Current ratio                       1.48 to 1     1.65 to 1
</TABLE>

         Working capital and the current ratio have decreased as a result of
         timing of receipts and payments.

         The Company invested $770,000 in capital assets in the three-month
         period ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $380,000 in the
         corresponding period in the prior year.  The increase was primarily
         related to the new Enterprise Resource Planning computer system being
         implemented during fiscal 2001.  This system integrates sales order
         management, inventory management, transportation management, customer
         service, accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger and
         financial reporting. 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 outflows from financing activities totaled $18.7 million for the
         three-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to cash
         inflows of $28.3 million for the corresponding period in the prior
         year.  The current year decrease in cash inflows is primarily due to
         the decrease in the revolving credit facility as a result of the
         increase in accounts payable.  The prior year inflows were primarily
         related to increase in the revolver as a result of decreases in
         accounts payable.   Effective September 30, 2000, the Company
         executed a one-year extension, to August 2002, of its revolving
         credit facility and increased availability under the facility to $130
         million year round.  The facility had been capped at $95 million with
         a $25 million seasonal overline.  In addition, at September 30, 2000,
         the Securitization provided a maximum capacity of $75.0 million.  At
         September 30, 2000, $75.0 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.
