                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
The Company 
 
     Lucor, Inc. and its subsidiaries have license agreements with Jiffy Lube 
International, Inc. ("JLI") to operate Jiffy Lube service centers in the Areas 
of Dominant Influence (ADI's) of Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, Cincinnati, 
Ohio (including northern Kentucky), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dayton, Ohio, 
Toledo, Ohio, Lansing, Michigan, and Nashville, Tennessee.  These service 
centers provide rapid lubrication, oil changes and related services for 
automobiles, light duty trucks and other vehicles.  As of June 30, 1997 the 
Company had 99 centers in operation; as of December 31, 1996, 94 centers were 
in operation; and as of June 30, 1996 76 centers were in operation. 
 
     The financial information as of June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 included 
herein is unaudited.  However, such information reflects all adjustments which 
are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair presentation of the 
results for the interim periods.  Financial statement information as of 
December 31, 1996 has been extracted from audited financial statements.  All 
of the above financial information should be read in conjunction with the 
Company's annual audited financial statements (and notes thereto) included in 
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

        Certain statements in this Form 10-Q "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" constitute "forward 
looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown 
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, 
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any 
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such 
forward looking statements.  Such factors include, among others, the 
following: competition, success of operating initiative, advertising and 
promotional efforts, adverse publicity, acceptance of new product offerings, 
availability, locations and terms of sites for store development, changes in 
business strategy or development plan, availability and terms of capital, 
labor and employee benefit costs, changes in government regulation, regional 
weather conditions, and other factors specifically referred to in this 10-Q.
 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
For the six months and three months ended June 30, 1997 compared with June 30, 
1996 
 
	Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 1997 rose 20% when 
compared to the first six months of 1996.  Consolidated net sales for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1997 rose 14% when compared to the second quarter of 
1996.  Full service sales for the six months ended June 30 were 580,643 and 
477,891 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Full service sales for the second 
quarter were 300,234 and 255,504 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. Cars 
serviced per day per service center averaged 34 cars in 1997 compared with 41 
cars during 1996.  Management believes that a majority of the decrease in the 
number of cars per day is due to the impact of the new stores opened this 
year, which traditionally have lower car counts in the first 24 months of 
operation.  Of the 99 stores open as of June 30, 1997, 54 stores (54%) have 
been open less than 24 months.  There are 24 stores (24%) that have been open 
less than one year.  

	Net revenue per car serviced declined slightly from $36.22 to $35.82 
when comparing the first six months of 1996 with the first six months of 1997. 
Net revenue per car decreased from $36.84 to $35.90 when comparing the second 
quarter of 1996 with the second quarter of 1997. The decrease in the net 
revenue per car can be attributed to several factors including:

1.  Management has increased couponing to drive up car counts and increase 
market share.
2.  Fleet sales have increased which results in increased discounts.
3.  The ratio of service centers in the Raleigh North Carolina ADI versus all 
other ADI's has decreased.  The Raleigh, North Carolina service centers 
have a higher net revenue per car due to the inspection business done in 
North Carolina.
4.  The addition of service centers in Sears Auto Service Centers during late 
1996 which are restricted in some of the ancillary sales that can be 
offered.
5.  The base price for a full service oil change was decreased from $26.99 to 
$24.99 in our Toledo, Ohio market.

	Cost of sales decreased as a percent of sales from 23.8% to 23.3% for 
the first six months ended June 30, 1996 versus June 30, 1997. This same ratio 
decreased from 23.7% for the second quarter of 1996 to 23.5% for the second 
quarter of 1997.  The Company has been able to obtain lower prices for some of 
its major inventory items through quantity purchasing and other negotiations 
which is reflected in the lower cost of sales.  Management believes that the 
new lower prices will continue to lower cost of sales for the entire year when 
compared to 1996.  Direct costs rose slightly as a percent of sales reflecting 
the fixed store management costs associated with running a store operation 
which, as a percent of sales, is higher during the initial periods of a 
store's operation (See discussion above regarding new stores). Operating costs 
increased less rapidly than sales during the period.  Depreciation and 
amortization charges increased for the period reflecting the Company's 
increased capital investment for store improvements and new store development.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses (SGA) increased 17% 
($404,324) over the comparable six month period of 1996, but decreased as a 
percent of sales and on a per car serviced basis.  SGA increased by 19% for 
the second quarter ($233,803).  Marketing costs increased by $459,000 when 
comparing the six months of 1996 with 1997 and $303,977 when comparing the 
second quarter of 1996 with 1997, which is more than the total SGA increased 
in both of these periods.  The Company has increased its marketing in 
conjunction with opening new stores to increase traffic flow into its new 
stores.  Included in SGA in 1996 was the cost of operating duplicate 
accounting departments associated with the move of the accounting department 
from Boca Raton, Florida to Raleigh, North Carolina. The duplicate costs of 
running the two departments are estimated to be $64,000, most of which 
occurred in the second quarter of 1996.

	Other income decreased from the prior year.  Other income in 1996 
included a gain of $47,942 from the sale of the Company's former office in 
Raleigh, North Carolina. 
 
     Interest expense increased, reflecting the higher level of borrowing to 
support the Company's capital expenditure program.  Provision for income taxes 
was negative reflecting the negative taxable income.  A charge for dividend 
payments due on the Company's redeemable preferred stock was made for each 
period.

     Funds provided by financing activities include the placement of debt of 
$400,000.  This debt is payable as interest only until February 1, 1999 at 
which time the entire principal is due.  The note carries an interest rate of 
12%.  The Company issued Class A common stock in the first quarter to two of 
the Company's Directors at market price for $258,750.
 
Liquidity and capital resources: 
 
     Working capital, current assets less current liabilities, increased by 
$44,873 since the end of 1996.  The increase in working capital has been 
possible due to the positive cash flow associated with operations and the 
reduction in the rate of new store development by the Company.  Cash flow from 
operations amounted to $603,504, of which $252,828 was used in the purchase of 
property and equipment (a result of a $623,745 increase in  property and 
equipment offset by a decrease of $370,917 in construction in progress). The 
accounts payable balance has increased over the end of 1996 due to the 
increased number of stores, a general increase in inventory required to 
service our customers during the busier months in the year, plus construction 
invoices associated with service centers.  The asset held for sale on the 
balance sheet is a service center that was sold in a sale leaseback 
transaction that was consummated in early July, 1997.  Additional funding has 
been provided by the private placement of stock to directors of the Company 
and new debt issued in financing the construction of a service center, offset 
by the repayment of current debt obligations.
 
     The Company has nearly completed its current expansion program and it is 
expected that current funds on hand plus cash provided by operations will 
provide the immediate capital requirements of the Company. 


PART II - Other Information 
 
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings:  The Company is involved in lawsuits and claims 
arising in the normal course of business.  Although the outcome of these 
lawsuits and claims are uncertain, Management believes that these lawsuits and 
claims are adequately covered by insurance or they will not (singly or in the 
aggregate) have a material adverse affect on the Company's business, financial 
condition, or operations.  Those lawsuits and claims against the Company which 
have not been resolved and which can be estimated and are probable to occur, 
have been accounted for in the Company's financial statements.
 
Item 2.   Changes in Securities:  On February 7, 1997 the Company sold for 
cash 45,000 shares of Class A common stock to two of its directors at a price 
of $5.75 per share.  This issuance of stock is exempt from registration under
Regulation D, Section 4(2) of the Security Act of 1933, as amended.
      
Item 3.   Defaults Upon Senior Securities:  None
