                   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
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, Cincinnati, Ohio (including northern
Kentucky), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dayton, Ohio, Toledo, Ohio, Lansing,
Michigan, Nashville, Tennessee, Richmond/Tidewater, Virginia and Atlanta,
Georgia areas. These service centers provide rapid lubrication, oil changes
and related services for automobiles, light duty trucks and other vehicles.
As of June 30, 2000 the Company had 213 centers in operation; as of December
31, 1999, 219 centers were in operation; and as of June 30, 1999 190 centers
were in operation.

     The financial information as of June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 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, 1999 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, 1999.

     Due to disappointing revenue and profits, the Company made the decision
in 1998 to close twelve of its Sears service centers.  As a result of this
decision, during the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company took a charge of
$1,383,475.  The Company closed six of these service centers during the first
quarter of 1999, five additional service centers during the second quarter of
1999, and one service center during February 2000.

     The Company made the decision in 1999 to close nine additional service
centers, four of which are located in Sears service centers.  As a result of
this decision, during the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company took a charge of
$276,007.  The Company closed four of these service centers during the fourth
quarter of 1999 and has closed two service centers during the first quarter of
2000.  The remaining three service centers are scheduled to close by December
31, 2000.

     During June 2000, the Company acquired Navigator Real Estate, LLC from
Navigator Management, Inc.  Navigator Real Estate, LLC sole assets consists of
several properties leased by the Company.  It has loans outstanding for these
properties which were acquired in late 1999 and early 2000.  The purchase price
of $50,000 was paid for the membership interest of Navigator Real Estate and
represents the capital investment of the original members.  Navigator
Management, Inc. is owned by two major shareholders of Lucor, Inc.  For more
information on the ownership of Navigator Management, Inc. see Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions section of the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     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

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER
AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

     Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 rose
26.6% when compared to the second quarter of 1999. Consolidated net sales for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 rose 45.8% when compared to the first six
months of 1999.  This sales growth reflects the increase in the number of
stores operated by the Company, due to the 1999 acquisition of seventy-three
stores in the Nashville, Tennessee, Dayton, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio, Lansing,
Michigan and Atlanta Georgia areas and the acquisition of twenty-four stores
in the Raleigh-Durham area. During 1999, the Company also built an additional
five service centers.  Same store sales, comparing the three-month and six-
month periods of 2000 to the same periods in 1999, increased 1.2% and 3.7%,
respectively.

     Cost of sales as a percent of sales increased 0.3% from 22.0% to 22.3%
for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to June 30, 2000.
Cost of sales as a percent of sales increased 0.5% from 22.0% to 22.5% for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to June 30, 2000.  The increase
in the cost of sales for the three-month and six-month period was primarily
the result of three price increases in the cost of oil over the past five
months.

     Direct cost decreased for the second quarter as a percent of sales from
37.8% to 36.4% for 1999 and 2000, respectively. This decrease is due to higher
volume at the service centers thus reducing the direct labor required as a
percent of sales by spreading the fixed nature of some of these costs over the
higher volume.  Direct cost for the first six months of 1999 and 2000 was the
same at 37.3% of sales.

     Operating costs decreased as a percent of sales from 18.9% for the second
quarter of 1999 to 18.8% for the second quarter of 2000.  Actual cost
increased by $1,058,445 for the three-months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
the same period in 1999.  Operating costs also decreased as a percentage of
sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. Operating costs decreased
from 19.5% for 1999 to 18.9% for 2000. Actual cost increased by $2,928,397 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. This
decrease in the three-month and six-month periods is the result of lower
rental and management fees as a percentage of sales for acquired operations
and increased revenue per store for other operations.

     Depreciation and amortization charges increased $335,733 for the second
quarter of 2000 in comparison to the second quarter of 1999 and increased
$669,529 for the six-month period of 2000 in comparison with the six-month
period of 1999.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased due to the
acquisition of service centers as noted above.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased 32.9% or
$922,259 comparing the three-month period ending June 30, 1999 to the same
period ended June 30, 2000.  As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense
increased from 13.0% to 13.6%. Marketing costs increased by approximately
$570,000 when comparing the second quarter of 1999 with the second quarter of
2000.  During the second quarter of 1999, the Company received a grand opening
rebate for marketing costs associated with new store acquisitions thus
decreasing marketing expense for that period. Administrative staffing
increased from the previous year due to increased regional and corporate
requirements associated with supporting the additional service centers
acquired and built during 1999.

     Selling, general and administrative expense increased 39.6% or $1,922,125
comparing the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 to the six-month period
ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expense decreased from
13.3% to 12.8%. Marketing cost increased by approximately $680,000 when
comparing year-to-date totals for 2000 to 1999. Administrative staffing
increased from the previous year due to increased regional and corporate
requirements associated with supporting the additional service centers
acquired and built during 1999.

     Other income increased $91,931 comparing the second quarter of 2000 with
the second quarter of 1999.  Other income increased $196,929 comparing the
six-month period ended June 30,2000 to the six-month period ended June 30,
1999.  Other income increased due to interest earned on larger amounts of cash
invested and higher commissions on vending sales due to the larger number of
stores.

     Interest expense increased by $551,990 for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 1999.
Interest expense increased by $1,226,796 for the six-month period ended June
30, 2000 compared with the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. The increase
reflects additional borrowing required by the Company associated with the
additional service centers acquired or built during 1999.  A charge for
dividend payments due on the Company's preferred stock was made for each
period.

     An income tax charge of $21,324 and $54,824 was made for the three-month
and six-month period ending June 30, 2000, respectively, reflecting state
income taxes estimated to be payable.  The Company has a federal net operating
loss carry-forward and, therefore, has not made a federal income tax charge for
the year.


Liquidity and capital resources:

     Since the end of 1999, working capital (current assets less current
liabilities) decreased by $2,363,761.  A majority of the capital decrease has
resulted from the use of funds in capital improvements made to stores acquired
in 1999 and to build new service centers.  Cash flow from operations amounted
to $1,449,738. The positive cash flow resulted from net income for the year
adding non-cash items of depreciation and amortization, plus a decrease in
accounts receivable and inventories and offset by a decrease in accounts
payable and accrued expenses.

     During June 2000, the Company acquired Navigator Real Estate, LLC from
Navigator Management, Inc., increasing the total assets and liabilities
of the Company by approximately $3,324,000.
