         (c) and (d) Not Applicable.

ITEM 7.  PURPOSES, ALTERNATIVES, REASONS AND EFFECTS.

         (a) through (d) Reference is made to the sections "Reasons for the
Merger and Approval" and "Certain Tax Consequences" under the caption "The
Merger and Related Matters" in the Prospectus for information as to the
benefits of the Merger, the purpose of the Merger, the alternative means
considered, the reasons for the structure of the transaction as the Merger and
for undertaking the transaction at this time and the federal tax consequences
of the Merger, which information is incorporated herein by this reference.

         Reference is made to the other sections under the caption "The Merger
and Related Matters" and the caption "Terms of the Transaction" in the

Drug, USAT and the unaffiliated securityholders, which information is
incorporated herein by this reference.  The detriment to U.S. Drug, USAT and
the U.S. Drug Minority Stockholders if the Merger is not consummated is, in the
opinion of USAT, that some or all of the benefits described in the section
"Reasons for the Merger and Approval" under the





                                       4

caption "Merger and Related Matters" in the Prospectus may not be realized.

ITEM 8.  FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION.

         (a)  Reference is made to the section "Reasons for the Merger and
Approval" under the caption "The Merger and Related Matters" in the Prospectus
for information relating to the reasons why U.S. Drug believes the Merger is
fair to the U.S. Drug Minority Stockholders, which information is incorporated
by this reference.  Karen B. Laustsen, who was until April 18, 1996 a director
and an executive officer of USAT, abstained from the initial votes of the USAT
Board on November 16, 1995 and February 6, 1996 relating to the Merger because
of her concern about the conflict in also being a director of U.S. Drug;
however, she approved the Merger when submitted to a vote of the U.S. Drug
Board on April 23, 1996 and indicated that she also approved the Merger as a
director of USAT.

         (b)  See the response to section (a) of this Item 8 to the Schedule
for information as to the material factors which the U.S. Drug Board took into
consideration in evaluating the fairness of the Merger, including its
evaluation of current market prices, historical market prices, net book value,
going concern value, liquidation value and the fairness opinion of Whale
Securities Co., Inc. ("Whale Securities").  Reference is also made to the
section "Fairness Opinion" under the caption "The Merger and Related Matters"
in the Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

         There have been no firm offers to date by an unaffiliated person,
other than by USAT, during the preceding 18 months for: (i) the merger or
consolidation of U.S. Drug into or with another entity; (ii) the sale or other
transfer of all or any substantial part of the assets of U.S. Drug; or (iii)
securities of U.S. Drug which would enable the holder thereof to exercise
control of the issuer.  See the section "Reasons for the Merger and Approval"
under the caption "The Merger and Related Matters" in the Prospectus, which is
incorporated herein by this reference.

         (c)  Adoption of the Merger Agreement by the requisite consents of the
holders of at least 50% of the shares of the U.S. Drug Common Stock held by the
U.S. Drug Minority Stockholders is required before the Merger can be
consummated.  See the subsection "Statutory Basis" in the section "The Consent
Procedure" under the caption "Terms of the Transaction" in the Prospectus,
which is incorporated herein by this reference.

         (d)  As indicated in the section "Reasons for the Merger and Approval"
under the caption "The Merger and Related Matters" in the Prospectus, which
information is incorporated herein by this reference, there was no independent
U.S. Drug Board to act on the Merger and, accordingly, the U.S. Drug Board
retained Whale

Securities to render an opinion for the benefit of the U.S Drug Minority
Stockholders as to the fairness of the Merger exchange ratio to the U.S. Drug
Minority Stockholders from a financial point of view (see Item 9 to this
Schedule).  The U.S. Drug Board also authorized, as a condition precedent to
the Merger, that the U.S. Drug Minority Stockholders holding at least 50% of
the non-USAT held shares of the U.S. Drug Common Stock must consent to the
Merger.  In addition, the U.S. Drug Board employed independent counsel to
represent U.S. Drug and the U.S. Drug Minority Stockholders.

         (e)  All directors of U.S. Drug approved the Merger on April 23, 1996,
all three of whom were not employees of U.S. Drug, although all three were
employees of USAT on the date of approval.  Of the three current directors of
U.S. Drug, two are current employees of USAT and the third is a consultant to
the USAT Board of Directors.  All of the current directors are in favor of the
Merger.

         (f)  Not applicable.
