                          Notes to Financial Statements
                             April 30, 2000 and 1999

(1)  Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:


     Organization:
          Professional Veterinary Products, Ltd. was incorporated in the State
          of Missouri in 1982. The corporation was formed to buy, sell and
          warehouse pharmaceuticals and other veterinary related items. The
          purpose of the corporation is to act as a wholesale distributor
          primarily to shareholders. Shareholders are limited to the ownership
          of one share of stock and must be a licensed veterinarian or business
          entity comprised of licensed veterinarians.

     Summary of significant accounting policies:

          (a)  Basis of accounting:
                    The corporation uses the accrual method of accounting for
                    financial statement and income tax purposes.

          (b)  Concentration of cash balances:
                    The Company's cash funds are located in a single financial
                    institution. The amount on deposit at April 30, 2000 and
                    1999 exceeded the $100,000 federally insured limit.

          (c)  Accounts receivable:
                    Management considers accounts receivable to be fully
                    collectible, accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts
                    is required.

          (d)  Inventory:
                    Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market on the
                    first-in, first-out basis.

          (e)  Property and equipment depreciation:
                    Property and equipment are stated at cost. For financial
                    reporting purposes and income tax purposes, the company uses
                    accelerated depreciation methods over the estimated useful
                    lives of the assets.

                     PROFESSIONAL VETERINARY PRODUCTS, LTD.
                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
                             April 30, 2000 and 1999

(1)  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

          (f)  Cash and cash equivalents:
                    The corporation considers all highly liquid investments with
                    a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
                    equivalents.

          (g)  Amortization:
                    Organizational costs are being amortized over sixty months
                    on a straight-line basis.

                    Financing costs are being amortized over the term of the
                    note on a straight-line basis. This amortization is included
                    in interest expense in the income statement.

                    The intangible costs are being amortized over fifteen years
                    on a straight-line basis.

          (h)  Use of estimates:
                    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
                    generally accepted accounting principles requires management
                    to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
                    reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual
                    results could differ from those estimates.

          (i)  Income taxes:
                    Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of
                    transactions reported in the financial statements and
                    consist of taxes currently due. The amount of income taxes
                    paid or payable for a year is determined by applying the
                    provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income for
                    that year.

(2)  For the nine months ended April 30, the Company recognized liabilities for
     overcharges on sales in excess of an agreed to profit margin of 5% totaling
     $4,990,149 (2000), $3,276,011 (1999).

ending April 1999 was primarily attributable to investments in property and
equipment. Net cash used by investing activities of $5,010,425 for period ending
April 2000 was primarily attributable to investments in property and equipment.

          Net cash used by financing activities of $2,115,032 for period ending

ITEM 3:   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company is exposed to market risks primarily from changes in U.S.
interest rates. The Company does not engage in financial transactions for
trading or speculative purposes.

     The interest payable on the Company's revolving line of credit is based on
variable interest rates and is therefore affected by changes in market interest
rates. If interest rates on variable rate debt rose .875 percentage points (a
10% change from the interest rate as of April 30, 2000), assuming no change in
the Company's outstanding balance under the line of credit (approximately
$3,665,402 as of April 30, 2000), the Company's annualized income before taxes
and cash flows from operating activities would decline by approximately $32,072.
