                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996


(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
     Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the
     information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
     all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
     financial statements, primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
     have been included. Operating results for the three months ended November
     30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the year ending August 30, 1997 or any other interim period.

     These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements, notes and other information included in the Company's
     latest Form 10-K.

(2)  PUBLIC OFFERING

     On October 10, 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared
     effective the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed under the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement related to
     the public offering of 3,900,000 shares of Common Stock. On October 10,
     1996 the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Dean Witter
     Reynolds Inc. (Underwriter) to purchase from the Company the shares of
     Common Stock at the public offering price of $12.00 per share, less an
     underwriting discount of $.84 per share. On October 15, 1996, the Company
     received net proceeds of the public offering in the amount of $43,524,000
     exclusive of approximately $773,000 in expenses incurred in connection with
     the offering. On October 21, 1996, the Underwriter elected to purchase an
     additional 292,500 shares, for which the Company received net proceeds of
     $3,264,300. The sales of common stock increased the outstanding number of
     shares to 10,415,750. Of the total $46,015,714 net proceeds, $42,472,063
     was used to pay down certain of the Company's indebtedness and preferred
     stock.


(3)  SUPPLEMENTAL PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE

     As discussed in Note 2, the Company repaid borrowings under the Credit
     Facility, the Summit Notes, the Management Notes, the St. Louis Note and
     related accrued interest thereon with a portion of the net proceeds from
     the public offering of Common Stock.

     Supplemental pro forma net income per share for the three months periods
     ended November 30, 1996 and December 2, 1995 have been calculated, as of as
     if September 3, 1995, the Company had sold the 3,900,000 shares of Common
     Stock sufficient to fund the July 3, 1995 Recapitalization and repay
     indebtedness incurred to finance the acquisitions of St. Louis Ostomy and
     Patient-Care.

     The weighted average number of shares is the actual weighted average number
     of shares of Common Stock or equivalents thereof outstanding plus the
     3,900,000 shares of Common Stock that were sold in connection with the
     public offering, assuming issuance occurred on September 3, 1995.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                 OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended November 30, 1996 (13 weeks) versus three months ended 
December 2, 1995 (13 weeks)

          Net sales increased by $8.5 million, or 63%, to $22.0 million for the
quarter ended November 30, 1996 from $13.5 million for the prior year period.
The number of customer orders filled increased 55% to approximately 125,500
orders for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 versus approximately 80,500 for
the prior year period.  Same store growth in net sales was approximately 11% and
was primarily attributable to increased volume from national home health care
chains and managed care organizations.  The average order size increased to $180
for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 versus $173 for the same period ended
December 2, 1995.

          Gross margin increased by $1.8 million, or 54%, to $5.1 million for
the quarter ended November 30, 1996 from $3.3 million for the prior year period.
Gross margin decreased to 23% versus 25% over the same period. The decrease in
gross margin was primarily attributable to competitive pricing of products sold
by the Company to maintain or increase market share, particularly with respect
to volume based pricing incentives and the acquisitions of St. Louis Ostomy and
Patient-Care.
       
           Operating expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 75%, to $2.8 million
for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 versus $1.6 million for the prior year
period, and as a percentage of net sales, increased to 13% versus 12% for the
prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was due to the support
required for higher sales volume. The increase in operating expenses as a
percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to increased costs of a
change in shipping policy.

          Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $158,000, or 287%,
to $213,000 for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 versus $55,000 for the prior
year period due to the amortization of goodwill associated with the acquisitions
of St. Louis Ostomy and Patient-Care.

          Operating income increased by $0.5 million, or 28%, to $2.1 million
for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 versus $1.6 million for the prior year
period. Operating income decreased as a percentage of net sales to 10% for the
quarter ended November 30, 1996 from 12% for the prior year period. The decrease
in operating income as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to
decreased gross margin and the amortization of St. Louis Ostomy's and Patient-
Care's goodwill.

          Interest expense decreased by $102,000, or 20%, to $415,000 for the
quarter ended November 30, 1996 versus $517,000 for the prior year period.
Interest expense decreased as a percentage of net sales to 2% for the quarter
ended November 30, 1996 versus 4% for the prior year period.  This decrease in
interest expense as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the repayment
of all long-term debt with the net proceeds of the public offering in October
1996.

          Provision for income taxes was $769,000, an effective tax rate of 44%
of pre-tax income, for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 versus $455,000, or
an effective tax rate of 41%, for the quarter ended December 2, 1995, primarily
due to non-deductible goodwill amortization.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Until its recent public offering, the Company financed its operations
primarily through cash flow from operations and from bank borrowings secured by
Company assets.  In October, 1996 the Company completed an initial public
offering of shares of its common stock.  Pursuant to the offering the Company
sold 4,192,500 shares of its common stock, raising proceeds of approximately
$46,000,000 net of approximately $773,000 in offering costs.  The Company used
$42,472,000 of the proceeds to pay down virtually all of its long term debt and
redeem all of the Company's preferred stock.  The remaining proceeds, along with
cash from operations, is currently being invested in short-term investments.

uncertainties inherent in the company's business.  The company's actual results

subsidiary of the Company, alleging misappropriation of St. Louis Ostomy's
