Documents incorporated by reference: None Page 1 of 46 pages The Exhibit Index is located at Page 19 PART I Item 1. Business. Drug Guild Distributors, Inc., referred to herein as the "Company" or the "Registrant," is engaged in the business of distributing at wholesale a wide variety of products almost exclusively to drugstores and health and beauty aid stores primarily in the State of New Jersey and the Greater New York City metropolitan area. Approximately 1% of sales are to nursing homes and less than 1/4 of 1% of sales are to employees of the Company. The products distributed can be separated into four groups: (1) legend drugs, which are dispensed to the public only on a doctor's prescription and take the form of pills, tablets and capsules, the ingredients of which are sometimes sold in bulk by the Company; (2) patent or non-legend drugs, which do not require a prescription and include such items as cough medicines and aspirin; (3) sundries, which include such items as clocks, soaps, deodorants, hairdryers and most other non- pharmaceutical products commonly sold in drugstores; and (4) certain items sold under the Company's private labels, including vitamins, shampoos and cough syrups. The percentage of sales of the four product groups are approximately as follows: legend drugs: 77%; non-legend drugs: 17%; sundries: 4%; and private labels: 2%. The preponderance of the Company's inventory purchases are made directly from the manufacturers and no single supplier accounts for more than 5% of the Company's dollar amount of purchases. In the opinion of management, there are alternative sources of supply for virtually all the products sold by the Company and the loss of any particular supplier would not have a materially adverse effect on the Company. The Company has written agreements with several of its largest suppliers, but these agreements do not require any prescribed level of purchases by the Company nor do they require the supplier to sell any given amount to the Company or guarantee any prices. The Company sells to approximately 800 customers, most of which are drugstores located in New Jersey and the Greater New York City metropolitan area. The Company has no control over the pricing policies of its customers and it believes that its customers sell over a wide range of prices. There is no requirement that a customer purchase any given portion of its inventory from the Company, but the Company believes that it supplies from 25% to 50% of an average customer's inventory. No customer accounts for more than 5% of the Company's total sales. A substantial percentage of the Company's customers are shareholders of the Company. Approximately 40% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company is owned by its customers. (An additional 50% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company is owned by affiliates of the customers and other persons related to the affiliates.) Such "Shareholder-customers" account for more of the Company's sales per store, on the whole, than non Shareholder-customers. All Shareholder-customers of such stock have pledged their shares to the Company to secure payment of amounts owed the Company for purchases. It is the policy of the Company, with respect to a customer which has pledged a predetermined number of shares of the Company's Common Stock or other collateral acceptable to the Company to secure its accounts, to grant to such customer, provided that such customer maintains its account in accordance with certain 2 standards, credit terms which are superior to credit terms given to customers who do not pledge shares as security. The Company responds to defaults in payments upon goods purchased by customers on an ad hoc basis. Upon such a default by a Shareholder-customer, it is the policy of the Company to continue shipping goods and to forego instituting legal actions for a longer period of time than with respect to defaults by customers who do not pledge shares. Except for superior credit terms, Shareholder-customers receive the same terms with respect to sales of goods as non Shareholder-customers. The foregoing policy is subject to modification or discontinuance at any time at the election of the Company. If a Shareholder-customer defaults in the payment of amounts owed the Company for merchandise, the Company may elect to terminate the customer's interest in the shares and credit the customer's account with an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the FIFO Book Value, or (b) the greater of cost or par value of the shares. In the case of a shareholder owning shares which were both purchased by the shareholder and shares received by such shareholder as a dividend, such categories of stock will be considered separately in determining "the greater of cost or par value." The Company employs sales representatives, but the majority of customers' orders are taken by telephone or through computer terminals at the Company's New Jersey office. Sales promotions of particular items are initiated on a regular basis. In connection with such promotions, the Company supplies its customers with window signs and appropriate flyers for consumers. In addition, certain advertising is done in New York City and New Jersey newspapers on a regular basis. Many of the Company's customers, and particularly Shareholder-customers, identify themselves as "Drug Guild" stores. Employees. The Company employs approximately 328 persons on a full time basis. Approximately 222 are warehouse personnel, 74 are clerical and 32 are executives, salespersons and administration. The warehouse and clerical personnel are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Local 815, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which expires on February 15, 1998. There has never been a strike or labor stoppage and the Company believes that its relationship with its employees is excellent. Competition. Competition in the wholesale drug and drugstore supply business is intense and the Company competes in its marketing region with a large number of suppliers. Financial Consultant. On July 6, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with Joseph B. Churchman, whose address is P.O. Box 648, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware 19971. The Company has engaged Mr. Churchman's services as a pharmaceutical industry and financial consultant to the Company. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon proper notice. Mr. Churchman is paid $1,500.00 per day for services rendered to the Company. His per diem fee is to be deducted from a success fee or finders fee payable to Mr. Churchman in the amount of one-half of one percent (.5%) of the total consideration of a Company "transaction" which results from his efforts. The word transaction as used herein means, in the broadest sense, the acquisition, consolidation, merger, sale, purchase or other union of the Company with another entity. During 3 the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, Mr. Churchman explored various opportunities for the Company related to this engagement. Amendment to By-Laws. On October 12, 1993, the Company amended its By-laws to provide that the Executive Committee shall have and exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors in lieu of the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by New Jersey Statute Annotated 14A:6-9, See Exhibit 3(d). Item 2. Properties. The Company occupies a modern cinderblock and steel office and warehouse facility in Secaucus, New Jersey. The facility, which was built to the Company's specifications, contains approximately 155,000 square feet and houses all the Company's office and much of its warehouse functions. The Company leases the building from an unaffiliated entity under a lease which expires on May 31, 2005. For the fiscal years 1996-2005, the annual base rental will be an average of $785,758. The Company leases another warehouse facility in Secaucus, New Jersey. The building, which was modified to accommodate the Company, contains 33,280 square feet and houses additional warehouse space. The Company leases the building from an unaffiliated entity under a lease which expires on May 31, 2005. For the fiscal years 1996-2000, the annual base rental will be $158,080 and for the fiscal years 2000-2005, the annual base rental will be $183,040. The leases are net leases requiring the Company to pay, in addition to the base rental, substantially all real estate taxes, repairs and other charges incident to the ownership of the properties. The real estate taxes paid by the Company on account of the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, were approximately $186,000. In addition to the foregoing, the Company subleases an additional warehouse facility in Secaucus, New Jersey from an unrelated third-party. The facility contains approximately 36,977 square feet. The term of the lease, which expired on June 30, 1995, has been extended to March 31, 1997. The annual rent for the premises is $175,640.76 or $4.75 per square foot, "gross". Rent includes taxes, utilities, alarm system and other related charges. The Company owns the preponderance of its office and warehouse equipment, all of which is in excellent condition. The Company also owns 51 delivery trucks, most of which are operated under a contractual arrangement by a corporation unaffiliated with the Company or management. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. None 4 Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None. PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. There is no existing public market for any of the Company's securities. As of July 31, 1995, there were approximately 396 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock and approximately 57 holders of record of its Preferred Stock. Since 18 Shareholders owned both Common and Preferred Stock, the Company had 435 Shareholders as of that date. The Company has never paid a cash dividend and management does not expect to pay cash dividends in the future. 5 Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition at July 31, 1995 Compared to Financial Condition at July 31, 1994. For the year ended July 31, 1995, the Company's Current Assets increased to $104,623,389 from $95,384,268 and its Current Liabilities increased to 93,242,536 from $81,464,727. The increases were attributable to higher receivables and inventory resulting from higher sales. The Company's ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities decreased to 1.1:1 from 1.2:1. The decrease in total Stockholders' Equity to $14,966,458 from $15,423,099 was primarily attributable to net loss for the year. The Company has an accounts receivable and inventory financing arrangement with a bank (the "Agreement") under which it can borrow up to 70% of its eligible accounts receivable and up to 50% of its eligible inventory, as defined in the Agreement. As of July 31, 1995, there were $55,100,000 of such eligible accounts receivable out of a total of $61,000,000, or 90%, and $48,000,000 of eligible inventory (calculated on FIFO Basis), an amount in excess of 99% of total inventory. Under the Agreement, the maximum amount the Company can borrow on its inventory is $30,000,000; and the maximum combined borrowing limit for accounts receivable and inventory is $80,000,000. These limits are determined by the bank and may be raised or lowered by the bank at its discretion. Total borrowing upon the line of credit equaled $53,175,000 on July 31, 1995. On such date the interest rate with respect to such financing was the prime interest rate plus 1% (a total of 10%). Inflation. The Company attempts to pass along price increases from its suppliers as soon as it is notified of those increases so as to preserve its gross profit margin and, subject to competitive pressures on particular products, is generally successful in doing so. Accordingly, the historical effect of inflation has been to increase the Company's revenues and profits. Fiscal Year ended July 31, 1995, compared to fiscal year ended July 31, 1994. Net sales for the year ended July 31, 1995 increased by 21% over fiscal 1994. The increase was attributable to both an increase in sales volume (approximately 75% of the 21% increase) and an increase in pharmaceutical prices (approximately 25% of the 21% increase). Gross profit for the year increased by 9.4% over the gross profit for fiscal 1994 as a result of the increased sales; however, gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 0.6% from 6.4% to 5.8%, as a result of competitive pressures and a lower profit on forwarded buying of pharmaceuticals. Total expenses for fiscal 1995 increased by 13.7% over such expenses for fiscal 1994. Operating expenses for fiscal 1995 , excluding interest expense, increased by 4.1% over those for fiscal 1994. The increased operating expenses were caused by higher warehouse labor costs. This 7 was due to higher volume and increased wages as a result of premium pay for changing to a night shift. Interest costs were higher because of higher inventory and receivables necessary to support higher volume as well as higher interest rates. The effect of the foregoing factors was that the Company had a loss before taxes for the year ended July 31, 1995 as compared to net income for 1994. Fiscal Year ended July 31, 1994, compared to fiscal year ended July 31, 1993. Net sales for the year ended July 31, 1994 increased by 5.3% over fiscal 1993. The increase was attributable to both an increase in sales volume (approximately 25% of the 5.3% increase) and an increase in pharmaceutical prices (approximately 75% of the 5.3% increase). The Company believes that part of the reason why the sales volume increase was so small was due to the poor winter weather. Gross profit for fiscal 1994 decreased by 10.7% from the gross profit for fiscal 1993. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 7.5% to 6.4% as a result of competitive pressures and a lower profit on forwarded buying of pharmaceuticals due to smaller price increases. Total expenses for fiscal 1994 decreased by 2.8% from such expenses for fiscal 1993. Operating expenses, excluding interest expense, for fiscal 1994 decreased by 2.2% from those for fiscal 1993. The reduced operating expenses were due to lower maintenance, depreciation and bad debt expense. This reduction in operating expenses was partially offset by higher professional fees incurred in connection with the failed negotiations for the acquisition of the Company's capital stock by Commons Bros. Inc., and Commons Bros. Northeast, Inc. Interest expense was lower because of reduced borrowing, although this savings was mostly offset by higher rates. The effect of the foregoing factors was that the Company's income before corporate taxes for the year ended July 31, 1994, experienced a 83.5% decrease from fiscal year 1993. Income taxes for fiscal 1994 were 85.9% lower than in fiscal year 1993 as a result of the lower income. Fiscal Year ended July 31, 1993, compared to fiscal year ended July 31, 1992. Net sales for the year ended July 31, 1993 increased by 11.8% over fiscal 1992. The increase was attributable to both an increase in sales volume (approximately 60% of 11.8% increase) and an increase in pharmaceutical prices (approximately 40% of 11.8% increase). Gross profit for the year increased by 6.5% over gross profit for fiscal 1992 as a result of the increased sales; however, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was reduced 0.4% from 7.9% to 7.5%, as a result of competitive pressures and a lower profit on forwarded buying of pharmaceuticals. Total expenses for fiscal 1993 increased by 6.4% over such expenses for 1992. Operating expenses, excluding interest expense, for fiscal 1993 increased by 6.9% over those for fiscal 1992. This increase was due to the costs of increased volume as well as the costs of an additional 8 warehouse. Interest expense was higher because of increased borrowing, although this expense was mainly offset by lower rates. The effect of the foregoing factors was that the Company's income before corporate taxes for the year ended July 31, 1993, experienced a 7.8% increase over fiscal year 1992. Income taxes were 9.7% higher than for fiscal year 1992 resulting from such higher income. Liquidity and Capital Resources. Because of the growth in the Company's sales it has been necessary for the Company to continually increase its inventory. For the same reason, accounts receivable have risen comparably. The Company believes that based upon its current bank agreement it has sufficient liquidity and capital to support future growth. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Pursuant to Mr. Englander's employment agreement, commencing as of October 1, 1993 and continuing until September 30, 1994, Mr. Englander's base salary is $425,000 per year. Effective each succeeding October 1, Mr. Englander's salary will be increased by an amount equal to the greater of (i) 5% of the salary then payable to him or (ii) change in the CPI as determined in accordance with the manner set forth under the employment agreement. Under a modified, deferred compensation agreement - -------- 1 Value of insurance premiums paid by the Company during the covered fiscal year with respect to term life insurance for the benefit of the named executive officer. 16 between Mr. Englander and the Company, the Company is obligated to pay him or his designee $100,000 each year ("deferred compensation") for ten years upon the earlier of Englander attaining age 65 or termination of his employment pursuant to the agreement.

The agreement also provides that should the Company undergo a change of control (as defined), Mr. Englander shall receive the lump-sum amount of $425,000 and the then present value of his unpaid deferred compensation.

The aggregate annual premium for these policies is approximately $45,000. Although most of the directors are affiliated with certain customers of the Company, all transactions between such customers and the Company are in its normal course of business and these customers by virtue of being affiliated with directors receive no preferences as to price or other terms and conditions at which they buy products from the Company. The Company has a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan for non-union employees, including its officer-employees, to which it contributed, with respect to such officer-employees, an aggregate of approximately $140,200 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995. See Note 7 of "Notes to the Financial Statements." Under the plan, participating employees upon reaching age 65 after 5 years of plan membership are entitled to annual retirement benefits in accordance with the following formula: (a) 30% (reduced by 3/4% for each year or part thereof less than 40 years employed by the Company) of average yearly compensation during the five consecutive years of the last ten years during which the employee received the highest compensation ("Yearly Base Compensation") plus (b) 18.72% of the excess of Yearly Base Compensation over 1992 Social Security covered compensation, such 18.72% reduced by .65% for each year under 32 years employed by the Company. The plan provides for related benefits in the event of death, disability or early retirement. An employee's interest in the plan becomes fully vested in increments over his first five years of membership in the plan.

There is no deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts. The Company also has a profit-sharing plan for non-union employees, including its officer-employees, which requires no fixed or minimum contribution. There was no contribution to the profit-sharing plan for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995 and 1994. Under the plan, contributions by the Company are allocated among the accounts of participating employees in proportion to their respective compensations, as defined. Upon retirement, death or disability, participating employees are entitled to the value of their accounts as provided in the plan. An employee's interest in the plan becomes vested in increments over the first five years of his membership. Item 12.

NOTE 11 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK: Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to an 8% cumulative dividend based on par value, payable in Preferred Stock. Upon liquidation of the company, holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to a payment of $100 per share before any amounts are paid to holders of Common Stock. The Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote and does not have any preemptive or conversion rights. 37 DRUG GUILD DISTRIBUTORS, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 11 - REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED): Preferred Stockholders including those who obtained their shares in exchange for Special Common Shares tendered (or a subscriber to Special Common Stock who obtained subscription rights to Preferred Shares) in the 1991 recapitalization retained the right previously enjoyed as a holder or subscriber of Special Common Stock to require the company to repurchase their Preferred Shares at $100 (par value). Thus, commencing five years after purchasers of a unit of shares of Preferred Stock have completed their payment for such unit, they are entitled at their election to require the company to repurchase all of their shares of Preferred Stock at the repurchase price (as defined). The holding period of Special Common Stock will be added on to the holding period of Preferred Stock obtained in exchange therefore. The company may call Preferred Stock at any time. The call price is 105% of par value if shares are called within the first year of issue, 110% of par value within the second year, 115% within the third year, 120% within the fourth year and 125% after four years. A holder of shares of Preferred Stock desiring to sell his shares to a third party must first offer them to the company at the repurchase price. If the company elects to accept such offer, it is obligated to pay for such shares in three equal annual installments, without interest, the first such installment to be made 60 days after such offer. Shares are sold under a five year subscription plan. Subscribers are required to pay a minimum of $4,500 per year towards a $22,500 subscription unit. Shares are issued as of July 31 of each year at the rate of one share per $100, provided that at least the minimum has been paid. Upon timely completion of total payments for the unit, the company is required to issue 25 additional shares as a dividend for a total of 250 shares per unit. The amounts due within the next five years if fully paid units of Preferred Stock held five or more years (including the holding period of Special Common Stock exchanged) are offered for redemption are as follows: Years Ending July 31, 1996 $3,059,865 1997 314,483 1998 77,224 1999 481,121 ---------- $3,932,693 ========== Subsequent to July 31, 1995 approximately $923,000 was redeemed. 38 DRUG GUILD DISTRIBUTORS, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 12 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: The stockholders represent a major portion of the company's customers. Each stockholder has assigned his shares to the company as collateral for his liability to the company on open account. The transfer of shares is restricted by agreement, and any stockholder who wishes to sell his shares must first offer them to the company at cost (as defined, see Note 10) or par value with respect to shares issued as a stock dividend. The common shares to be issued on subscriptions received are not determinable until collected. However, at each year end such outstanding subscribed shares are included in the accom- panying financial statements based on the purchase price at those dates (Note 10). The difference between the par value and the purchase price of subscribed common shares has been credited to additional paid-in capital. Additional paid-in capital includes $474,574 on such uncollected subscriptions at July 31, 1995 and $828,577 at July 31, 1994.
