         Summary of significant accounting policies:

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

                               The Company's cash funds are located in a single
                               financial institution. The amount on deposit at
                               January 31, 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.

                               less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

                  (g)      Amortization:
                               Organizational costs are being amortized over

                               amortization is included in interest expense 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

                             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.

ITEM 2:           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERSTIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Our capital requirements relate primarily to working capital and the
expansion of our operations to accommodate sales growth. We maintain significant
inventory levels to fulfill our operating commitment to our customers.
Historically, we have financed our cash requirements primarily from short-term
bank borrowings and cash from operations.

         Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,004,549 for the period
ending January 1999 was primarily attributable to increases of $2,792,967 in
accounts receivable and $5,340,738 in inventories. These were partially offset
by an increase of $7,281,227 in accounts payable. Net cash provided by operating
activities of $5,006,414 for the period ending January 2000 was primarily
attributable to an increase of $4,642,943 accounts receivable and $31,337,354 in
inventories. These were partially offset by an increase of $31,177,730 in
accounts payable.

         Net cash used by investing activities of $1,149,203 for the period
ending January 1999 was primarily attributable to investments in property and
equipment. Net cash used by investing activities of $5,269,613 for the period
ending January 2000 was primarily attributable to investments in property and
equipment.

         Net cash provided by financing activities of $3,169,375 for the period
ending January 1999 was primarily attributable to increases of $3,061,917 in
loan proceeds and $134,458 from net proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $9,443,104 for the period ending
January 2000 was primarily attributable to increases of $9,181,854 in loan
proceeds and $261,250 from net proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Six months ended January 31, 2000 as compared to the six months ended
January 31, 1999:

         Net sales for the period ending January 31, 2000 increased by 49.9% or
$26.6 million. Sales for the period totaled $79.9 million compared to $53.3
million for the same period the previous year. The growth was attributable to
increased sales to existing veterinary shareholders and the addition of new
shareholders. During the period 66 veterinary practices became shareholders of
the Company. On January 31, 2000 the Company had 1,254 shareholders.

         Gross profits for the period ending January 31, 2000 increased by $2.6
million to $7.5 million compared to $4.9 million for the same period the
previous year. Gross


<PAGE>

profit as a percentage of total revenues was 9.2% in the period compared to 9.0%
in the same period the previous year.

         Operating, general and administrative expenses for the period ending
January 31, 2000 increased by $2.5 million to $6.6 million in the period
compared to $4.1 million for the same period the previous year. Such operating,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the
period was 8.1% in the period compared to 7.4% in the same period the previous
year.

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 .825 percentage
points (a 10% change from the average interest rate as of January 31, 2000),
assuming no change in the Company's outstanding balance under the line of credit
(approximately $8,147,753 as of January 31, 2000), the Company's annualized
income before taxes and cash flows from operating activities would decline by
approximately $67,219.

                                     PART II
                                OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1:  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company has not been informed of any legal matters that would have
a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operation or
cash flow.

ITEM 2:  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         (d)      Use of Proceeds:

         On October 19, 1999 the registration statement (Registration No.
333-86629) for the initial public offering of our common stock became effective.
500 shares of common stock were registered with an aggregate offering price of
$1,500,000. The offering commenced on November 1, 1999 in the states of Alaska,
Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New
Hampshire, New York, North Carolina,

8, 1999 in the states of Connecticut, Iowa, Nebraska and New Jersey; on November
12, 1999 in the state of Oklahoma; on November 17, 1999 in the state of Indiana;
on November 23, 1999 in the state of Maryland; on November 30, 1999 in the state

shares of common stock have been sold for an aggregate offering price of
$198,000 and one share of common stock has been redeemed by the Company, due to
the shareholder's death, for $3000.

         There have been no changes since the last reporting period in the
amount or payment of the expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and
distribution of our common stock, with the exception of $3636.56 in additional
legal expenses.

Accordingly, a total reasonable estimate of the amount of expenses is
$127,053.56.

         The net offering proceeds to the Company after deducting the total
expenses are $70,946.44 as of January 31, 2000.

ITEM 3:  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITES

                           None.

ITEM 4:  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

                           None.

ITEM 5:  OTHER INFORMATION

                           None.

ITEM 6:  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

                  (a)      EXHIBITS REQUIRED TO BE FILED BY ITEM 601 OF
                           REGULATION S-K
