Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



For the Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.



NOTE A-BASIS OF PRESENTATION



The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DrugMax, Inc. (formerly known as DrugMax.com, Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Discount Rx, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (Discount), Valley Drug
Company (Valley) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Valley Drug Company South (Valley South), Desktop Media Group, Inc. (Desktop) and its wholly-owned subsidiary VetMall, Inc. (VetMall), and Discount Rx,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (Discount Nevada), doing business as Avery Pharmaceuticals (Avery), (collectively referred to as the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the
Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.



The
Companys fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year shall mean the Companys fiscal year.



NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS



In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 145, Rescission of
FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS No. 145). SFAS No. 145 will rescind SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated
and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax benefit. As a result of SFAS No. 145, the criteria in APB No. 30 will be used to classify those gains and losses. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to of the
rescission of FASB No. 13 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15. 2002. Early application of the provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of FSAB No. 13 is encouraged. The components of SFAS No. 145 adopted in fiscal
2003, resulted in the Company recording forgiveness of debt to other income in the six months ended September 30, 2003.



In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS No. 146), which replaces Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.SFAS No. 146 requires that liabilities associated with exit or disposal activities be
recognized when they are incurred. Under EITF Issue No. 94-3, a liability for exit costs is recognized at the date of a commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also requires that the liability be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly,
the adoption of this standard may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for any restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002.
As of September 30, 2003, the Company had not undertaken any such restructuring activities.



In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45). FIN
45 elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such

as standby letters of credit. It also requires that at all times a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair
market value of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 apply on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company will apply the provisions of FIN 45 to any guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, the Company did not have any guarantees outstanding.



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure(SFAS 148) which addresses financial accounting and reporting for recording expenses for the fair value of stock options. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The
provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with early application permitted in certain circumstances. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial
statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting as allowed by APB No. 25. See Stock Based Compensation below.



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 for certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient
equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. Initially, FIN 46 was to apply in
the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. At its October 2003 meeting, the FASB agreed to defer the
effective date of FIN 46 for variable interests held by public companies in all entities that were acquired prior to February 1, 2003. The deferral will require that public companies adopt the provisions of FIN 46 at the end of periods ending after
December 15, 2003. The interpretation may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect
adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. The Company intends to adopt FIN 46 as of its third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2003. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of FIN 46.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS No. 150). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measurers in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer are required to be classified as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered
into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except, mandatorily redeemable non-controlling (minority) interests which, on October 29, 2003, the FASB
decided to defer indefinitely. As of September 30, 2003, the adoption of SFAS No. 150 has had no impact on the Company.

Stock Based Compensation



In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(SFAS No. 123), which was effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. Under SFAS No. 123, the Company may elect to recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards or to account for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB Opinion No. 25), and disclose in the consolidated financial statements the effects of SFAS No. 123 as if the recognition provisions were adopted. The
Company has adopted the recognition provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to
stock-based employee compensation for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

The Company did not grant any options
in the three months ended September 30, 2003. For purposes of the above disclosure, the determination of the fair value of stock options granted in the three months ended September 30, 2002 was based on the following: (i) a risk free interest rate
of 3.94% (ii) expected option lives of 5  10 years; and (iii) expected volatility in the market price of the Companys common stock of 67%.



The Company has no other equity based compensation plans for its employees.



NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS



VetMall, Inc.



In April 2003, W.A.
Butler & Company (Butler), a 30% shareholder of VetMall, executed an agreement with the Company and VetMall. The terms of the agreement provide for the transfer of Butlers 30% ownership of VetMall stock and the forgiveness of
$.5 million of long-term liabilities, which is included in other income in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. The agreement also releases Butler from any present and future operational expenses of VetMall. The transfer
of Butlers 30% interest in VetMall did not have an impact on the revenues or operating expenses of the Company for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003.



Avery Pharmaceuticals, Inc.



On May 14, 2003, Discount Nevada, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain liabilities, of Avery
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Avery Wholesale Pharmaceuticals, Inc., also known as Texas Vet Supply (jointly Avery), and Infinity Custom Plastics, Inc. (Infinity), wholesale distributors of pharmaceuticals and respiratory products
based in Texas, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 14, 2003 (the Avery Agreement).



Pursuant to the Avery Agreement, the Company acquired accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, furniture, the trade name and a patent pending for the process of the manufacture of vials for the respiratory

therapy industry, totaling approximately $789,000. The liabilities assumed, which were comprised principally of trade payables, amounted to approximately
$646,000, in addition to the forgiveness of debt owed to the Company of approximately $53,000. In addition, the Company executed a promissory note in the amount of $318,000 to the predecessor companys 50% shareholder, as additional
consideration. The note includes a right of set off for accounts payable in excess of an agreed upon amount assumed at closing. The original note may not be reduced below $90,000 after set off. Management believes the adjusted note amount will be
$90,000 after the set off for accounts payables honored by the Company since the acquisition; therefore, the Company has recorded the note in the amount of $90,000. Additionally, the Avery Agreement contains a provision whereby based on Averys
earnings, the note may be increased to the original amount of $318,000 which would be treated as an addition to the purchase price. Terms of the note provide for principal payments due monthly beginning July 5, 2003 through the due date of January
5, 2006. Interest on the note is due quarterly beginning September 5, 2003 at the rate of 6% per annum. Also, the Company executed a Consulting and Non-Competition Agreement (Consulting Agreement) with John VerVynck
(VerVynck) an officer and shareholder of Avery and Infinity. The Consulting Agreement provides for the payment to VerVynck of $39,360, payable bi-monthly, over the six-month term of the Consulting Agreement. The Consulting Agreement
prohibits VerVynck from competing for one year following his termination and the six-month term of the consulting agreement. The Company will operate the acquired business through its wholly owned subsidiary Discount Nevada under the fictitious name
of Avery Pharmaceuticals.



The acquisition of Avery was accounted for by the
purchase method of accounting. The result of the operations of the acquired business is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the purchase date. The Company acquired the following assets and liabilities in the Avery
acquisition:

NOTE D - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS



The carrying value of goodwill did not change for the six months ended September 30, 2003. The Company has determined that it has one
reporting unit in the distribution business. Management further has determined that the distribution reporting unit should be reported in the aggregate based upon similar economic characteristics within each subsidiary within that segment.



The change in the carrying value of other intangible assets for the six months
ended September 30, 2003 is as follows:



|                              |  | September 30, 2003  |         | March 31, 2003

|Amortizable intangible asset: |  |                     |         |                        
|Patent                        |  | $                   | 126,684 |                        



The Company did not record
amortization expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003 on the patent recorded as a result of the Avery acquisition in May 2003, pending the final approval of the patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the
implementation of the patented asset by the Company. Amortization expense recorded for an intangible asset in the form of a non-compete agreement existing at September 30, 2002 was $9,000 and $18,000 for the three and six months ended September 30,
2002. At September 30, 2003, the Company is in the process of completing its impairment test and expects that no impairment exists.



NOTE E - INCOME TAXES



The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Temporary
differences giving rise to deferred income tax assets and liabilities primarily include certain accrued liabilities and net operating loss carry forwards. The provision for income taxes includes the amount of income taxes payable for the period as
determined by applying the provisions of the current tax law to the taxable income for the period and the net change during the period in the Companys deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The Company continually reviews the adequacy of
the valuation allowance and recognized deferred income tax asset benefits only as reassessment indicated that it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized.



NOTE F - DEBT



On April 15, 2003, the Company obtained from Congress Financial Corporation (Congress) a $40 million revolving line of credit and a $400,000 term loan. The
Congress credit facility along with the

##### Table of Contents

Mellon Bank N.A. (Mellon) restricted cash account of $2 million were used to satisfy the outstanding line of credit and term loan with Standard
Federal Bank National Association (Standard), formerly Michigan National Bank as successor in interest to Mellon. The Congress revolving line of credit enables the Company to borrow a maximum of $40 million, with borrowings limited to
85% of eligible accounts receivable and 65% of eligible inventory. The revolving line of credit and the term note currently bear interest at the rate of 0.50% per annum in excess of the Prime Rate. The Congress credit facility is collateralized by
all of the Companys assets. The line of credit is for a term of 36 months, and the term note is payable over the same 36-month period. The Congress credit facility imposes certain restrictive covenants on Tangible Net Worth and EBITDA. All
costs associated with the Congress credit facility will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit and term loan were approximately $18,400,000 and $344,000, respectively, at
September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2003, the interest rate on the revolving line of credit and term loan was 4.5%.



In April 2003, the Company recorded as interest expense the remaining unamortized financing costs of the Standard credit facility in the amount of $78,913. Additionally,
the Company recorded as interest expense the early termination fee of approximately $351,000 and a fee for the waiver of the 90-day notice of termination of $30,000 paid to Standard.



On April 15, 2003, Jugal K. Taneja, the Chairman of the Board, CEO and a Director of the Company executed a Guarantee (the
Guarantee) in favor of Congress. The Guarantee provides Congress with Mr. Tanejas unconditional guaranty of all obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness of any kind of the Company to Congress, provided that the Guarantee shall
not exceed $2 million in year one; is reduced to $1.5 million in year two; and is further reduced to $1 million in year three, subject to the Company achieving collateral availability objectives. In June 2003, the Company issued 57,143 shares of
common stock of the Company to Mr. Taneja as compensation for his guarantee in favor of Congress, valued at $91,429, based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. The cost of the common stock has been recorded as a financing
cost related the Congress credit facility and will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan.



NOTE G- SEGMENT INFORMATION



The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of Enterprise and Related Information, which established standards for reporting information about a Companys operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components
of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in
assessing performance of the segment.



The Company has determined that is has
one reportable segment because all distribution subsidiaries have similar economic characteristics, such as margins, products, customers, distribution networks and regulatory oversight. The distribution line of business represents 100% of
consolidated revenues in the three and six months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The critical accounting policies of the operating segment are those discussed in Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.



The Company distributes product both within and outside
the United States. Revenues from distribution within the United States represented approximately 99.6% and 99.4% of gross revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and approximately 99.5% of gross
revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002. Foreign revenues were generated from distribution to customers in Puerto Rico.



NOTE H- CONTINGENCIES



On October 2, 2003, QK Healthcare, Inc. filed a complaint against Valley in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of New York including several counts with regard to the sale of twenty bottles of
Lipitor by Valley to QK Healthcare, Inc., including breach of contract, violations of the implied warranty of merchantability, and fraud. The complaint demands actual damages, punitive damages and legal fees and expenses. The Company intends to
vigorously defend this action. The Company cannot reasonably estimate any future possible loss as a result of this matter and has made no provision in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the resolution of this matter.

|Item 2. |  | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
|------- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The following management discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
presented elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.



Certain oral statements made by
management from time to time and certain statements contained in press releases and periodic reports issued by the Company, including those contained herein, that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements,
including those in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, estimates or projections of the Companys Directors or Officers
about the Company and the industry in which it operates, and assumptions made by management, and include among other items, (a) the Companys strategies regarding growth and business expansion, including future acquisitions; (b) the
Companys financing plans; (c) trends affecting the Companys financial condition or results of operations; (d) the Companys ability to continue to control costs and to meet its liquidity and other financing needs; (e) the
declaration and payment of dividends; and (f) the Companys ability to respond to changes in customer demands and regulations. Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance
that the anticipated results will occur. When used in this report, the words expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, and similar
expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.



Important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other items, (i) changes in the regulatory and general economic environment related to the health care

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains a discussion of
the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customer incentives, product returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation.
The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect the Companys more significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Companys significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to its consolidated financial statements contained in its Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 2003.



Revenue Recognition



The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped and title or risk of loss resides with
unaffiliated customers, and at which time the appropriate provisions are recorded for estimated contractual chargeback credits from the manufacturers based on the Companys contract with the manufacturer. Rebates and allowances are recorded as
a component of cost of sales in the period they are received from the vendor or manufacturer unless such rebates and allowances are reasonably estimable at the end of a reporting period. The Company records chargeback credits due from its vendors in
the period when the sale is made to the customer which is eligible for contract pricing from the manufacturer.



The Company accepts return of product from its customers for product which is saleable, in unopened containers and carries a current date. Generally, product returns are received via the Companys own delivery
vehicles, thereby eliminating a direct shipping cost from being incurred by the customer or the Company. Depending on the length of time the customer has held the product; the Company may charge a handling and restocking fee. Overall, the percentage
of the return of product to the Company is extremely low. The Company has no sales incentive or rebate programs with its customers.



Inventory Valuation



Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out basis of accounting. Inventories consist of brand and generic drugs, over-the-counter products, health and beauty
aids, nutritional supplements, and other related products held for resale. The inventories of the Companys four distribution centers are constantly monitored for out-of-date or damaged products, which if exist, are reclassed and physically
relocated out of saleable inventory to a holding area, referred to as the morgue inventory, for return to and credit from the manufacturer. However, if market acceptance of the Companys existing products or the successful
introduction of new products should significantly decrease, inventory write-downs could be required. As of September 30, 2003 and 2002, no inventory valuation allowances were necessary.



Goodwill and Intangible Assets



The Company has completed several acquisitions which have generated significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets and related amortization. The values assigned to
goodwill and intangibles, as well as their related useful lives, are subject to judgment and estimation by the Company. In addition, upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), the Company ceased amortization of goodwill effective April 2001, and reviews goodwill annually for impairment. Goodwill and intangibles related to acquisitions are determined based on purchase price
allocations. Valuation of intangible assets is generally based on the estimated cash flows related to those assets, while the initial value assigned to goodwill is the residual of

the purchase price over the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Thereafter, the value of goodwill cannot be greater than
the excess of the fair value of the Companys reportable unit over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, based on the annual impairment test. Useful lives are determined based on the expected future period of benefit of the
asset, the assessment of which considers various characteristics of the asset, including historical cash flows.



Impairment of Long-Lived Assets



Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a diminution in value may have occurred, based on a comparison of undiscounted
future cash flows to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Periodically, the Company evaluates the recoverability of the net carrying value of its property and equipment, by comparing the carrying values to the estimated future undiscounted
cash flows. A deficiency in these cash flows relative to the carrying amounts is an indication of the need for a write-down due to impairment. The impairment write-down would be the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair value of these
assets. Losses on impairments are recognized by a charge to earnings. The Company recorded an impairment of assets charge as a result of its annual impairment testing at September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2003, the Company is in the process of
completing its impairment test and expects that no impairment exists.



Results of Operations



For the Three and Six Months Ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002.



Revenues. The Company generated revenues
of $60.2 million and $120.8 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to revenues of $73.7 million and $136.8 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively



The net decrease in revenues were the result of several factors:



| | 1. | Managements decision to revise the Valley South business plan during the three months ended June 30, 2002. Valley South was operating as a full-line distributor servicing
independent pharmacies in the Louisiana area as their primary wholesaler. Revenues of approximately $2.5 million and $6.5 million were recorded from the sale of branded drugs sold to independent pharmacies, where Valley South was the primary
wholesaler, during the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The branded drug sales resulted in lower profit margins; and therefore, had minimal impact on gross margins for the periods presented. Valley South has operated as a
generic drug distribution center carrying only the fastest moving branded drugs. The generic-to-brand product mix was approximately 39% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003.

| | 2. | The Company has participated in over-the-counter product special purchase programs in prior years. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, over $4 million in sales
were generated from the 2002 program as compared to no program sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2003, the products were not available from the suppliers in the quantities
previously supplied. However, subsequent to September 30, 2003, special purchase program sales of approximately $1.5 million have been generated.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | Sales to warehouse customers declined by $10 million and $11.7 million during the three and six months ended September 30, 2003, respectively compared to the three and six months
ended September 30, 2002. The impact on gross margin is minimal.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4. | The Company has been focusing on its core business of servicing the independent pharmacies, hospitals and small chain stores. For the three and six months ended
September 30, 2003, sales increased to these customers by $4.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30,2002. The

The Company has primarily grown its
business through strategic acquisitions. The Company currently has four distribution centers, all of which were acquired as follows:

Gross Profit. The Company achieved gross profit of approximately $2.1 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003, respectively,
compared to approximately $2.3 million and $4.3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The Companys margin, as a percentage of revenue, was 3.5% and 3.4% for the three and six months ended September 30,
2003, respectively, and 3.1% for each the three and six month ended September 30, 2002. The increase in gross margin percentage for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003 was primarily due to more profitable generic sales as compared to
the lower margin brand pharmaceutical sales. Emphasis on generic sales continues to be part of the Companys focus to improve gross profit.



Operating Expenses and Other Income and Expenses. The Company incurred operating expenses of approximately $1.9 million and $3.7 million for the three and six
months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to approximately $14.4 million and $17.0 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The following schedule details the major components of operating expenses:

##### Table of Contents

revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The increase of 0.5% and 0.4% in the administrative, sales, marketing and other
direct operating expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003 over the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, were due primarily to the increased operating costs associated with the acquisition of Avery in May
2003 and decreased sales.



The Company incurred approximately $32,000 and
$476,000 in other income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to approximately $38,000 and $74,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. In April 2003, the Company recorded
approximately $73,000 in costs associated with the termination of the Standard credit facility, which were charged as other expense, and recorded as other income the reversal of a long-term liability due to Butler of approximately $502,000 in
connection with the agreement between the Company and Butler whereby Butler assigned its 30% ownership in VetMall to the Company. (See Acquisitions.)



Interest expense. Interest expense was approximately $255,137 and $927,749 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, and approximately
$299,231 and $588,787 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Included in interest expense is the amortization of loan financing costs, which were $46,458 and $143,060 for the three and six months ended September 30,
2003, respectively, and the early termination fee of $350,934 and the 90-day notice waiver fee of $30,000 charged by Standard for the early termination of that credit facility in April 2003. Included in interest expense for the amortization of loan
financing costs for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002 are $40,483 and $73,376, respectively. The Company does not expect the new credit facility with Congress to have a material impact on interest expense for fiscal 2004.



Net income (loss) per share. EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive
effect of options and warrants, using the treasury stock method. The net income per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003 was $.01 and $.00 per basic and diluted shares, compared to a net loss of $1.73 and $1.81 per basic and
diluted shares, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002. The Company had issued and outstanding 1,539,319 and 1,576,178 options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock, in addition to warrants to purchase 150,000 shares
of the Companys common stock, which were anti-dilutive and not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003. These anti-dilutive shares could potentially dilute the basic EPS in the future.
Shares of common stock used in the calculation of basic and dilutive net income per share for the six months ended September 30, 2003 were 7,153,208 and 7,223,164, respectively.



Income Taxes.SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred income tax assets reported, if based on the weight
of the evidence, it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. As such, a valuation allowance of $1,458,500 was established at March 31, 2001.



In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
those temporary differences become deductible. Management evaluated the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liability, the Companys profitability for the year ended March 31, 2002, reviewed the Companys business model, and future
earnings projections, and believes the evidence indicates that the Company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the deferred income tax asset; therefore, the Company recognized the full $1,458,500 deferred income tax asset,
offset by current year deferred income tax expense of $354,952, for a net deferred income tax benefit of $1,103,548 for the year ended March 31, 2002.



The Company determines a valuation allowance based on its analysis of amounts available in the statutory carry back period, consideration of future deductible amounts,
and assessment of future profitability. As a result of the substantial operating losses incurred during fiscal year 2003, the Company established



17

##### Table of Contents

valuation allowances as a portion of the net deferred tax asset in the amount of $580,100 as of March 31, 2003, as it will take more than a few years to
realize the deferred tax asset.



During the three and six months ended
September 30, 2003, no tax effect was recorded due to the insignificant impact of the operating results. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded deferred income tax benefit of $51,159 and $342,629,
respectively. As of September 30, 2003, management continues to believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the recorded deferred income tax asset.



Inflation and Seasonality. Management believes that there was no material effect on
operations or the financial condition of the Company as a result of inflation for the three and six months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Management also believes that its business is not seasonal; however, significant promotional activities can
have a direct impact on sales volume in any given quarter.



Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Companys net income increased by non-cash expenses produced positive cash flow for the six months ended September 30, 2003. The Company has working capital and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.2 million and $.06
million, respectively, at September 30, 2003.



The Companys principal
commitments at September 30, 2003 consist of the outstanding loan agreement with Congress and leases on its office and warehouse space. There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at that date.



Net cash used in operating activities was $3.9 million for the six months ended September 30,
2003. Cash was used primarily by increases in accounts receivables, prepaid and other current assets and deposits, decreases in accounts payables, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities; offset by decreases in inventory, due from
affiliates, other assets and notes receivable.



Net cash used in investing
activities was approximately $.11 million for the six months ended September 30, 2003, which represented cash invested in property and equipment and legal expenses incurred with the acquisition of Avery.



Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.9 million for the six months
ended September 30, 2003, primarily representing a decrease in the Companys restricted cash account of $2 million, which was used along with the new Congress revolving line of credit to satisfy the Standard credit facility, an increase in the
line of credit of approximately $2.5 million, offset by an increase in deferred financing costs associated with the Congress credit facility and payments of long-term debt, capital leases.



Management believes the Company has sufficient capital resources to fund the Companys
operations for at least the next twelve months. Management does not believe the acquisition of Avery will have a material impact on the liquidity of the Company.



|Item 3. |  | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
|------- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



The Company is subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on its financing and cash management activities, which could effect its results of
operations and financial condition. At September 30, 2003, the Companys outstanding debt with Congress was approximately $18.4 million on the line of credit and $.3 million on the term loan. The interest rates charged on the line of credit and
term loan are floating rates subject to periodic adjustment, with certain options for management to choose from. At September 30, 2003, the interest rate charged on the line of credit and term loan was 4.5%. The company manages its risk by choosing
the most advantageous interest option offered by its lender. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company holds several notes
receivable from its customers which do not carry variable interest rates. The Company does not currently utilize derivative financial instruments to address market risk.

|Item 4. |  | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
|------- |  | ------------------------



The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its periodic filings with the SEC is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how
well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost to benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.



At September 30, 2003, the Company performed an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation was performed with the participation of senior management of key corporate functions, and under the supervision of the CEO and CFO. Based on the
evaluation, the Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective.



There have been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.



PART II-OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. |  | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
|------- |  | ------------------



In March 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Desktop Corporation, a Texas corporation located in Dallas, Texas, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by
and among the Company, K. Sterling Miller, Jimmy L. Fagala and HCT Capital Corp. (the Reorganization Agreement). On February 7, 2002, Messrs. Miller and Fagala filed a complaint against the Company in the Circuit Court of the Sixth
Judicial Circuit in and for Pinellas County, Florida, alleging, among other things, that the Company had breached the Reorganization Agreement by failing to pay 38,809 shares of the Companys common stock to plaintiffs. The complaint also
includes a count of conversion and further alleges that the Company breached its employment agreements with Messrs. Miller and Fagala, for which the plaintiffs seek monetary damages. On March 11, 2002, the Company filed its answer, affirmative
defenses and counterclaim against plaintiffs and HCT Capital Corp., in which it alleged, among other things, that plaintiffs had breached the Reorganization Agreement by misrepresenting the state of the acquired business, that the Company was
entitled to set off its damages against the shares which the plaintiffs are seeking and further seeking contractual indemnity against the plaintiffs. On April 16, 2002, HCT Capital Corp. filed its answer, counterclaim against the Company and
cross-claim against the plaintiffs. In September of 2002, Plaintiffs served the Company with written discovery requests. Since then, there has been no activity by Plaintiffs or HCT, and the Company is currently considering how to proceed in light of
this inactivity. The Company intends to vigorously defend the actions filed against it and to pursue its counterclaim. The Company has made no provision in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for resolution of this matter.



The Company previously executed an engagement letter with GunnAllen Financial
(GAF) with an effective date of August 20, 2001, for consulting services over a three month period from the effective date, and renewable month to month thereafter until terminated by either party with a thirty day notice. The GAF
agreement required that the Company pay to GAF, for consulting services performed, $5,000 per month plus expenses capped at $2,000 per month, and further required the Company to issue a warrant to

GAF exercisable for a period of five years to purchase 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $5.80 per share. However, on
October 12, 2001, the Company terminated the agreement with GAF and informed GAF that GAF was in breach of contract under the Agreement and that, accordingly, no warrants would be issued to GAF and no further fees would be paid to GAF. The Company
also demanded the return of all fees previously paid to GAF. No warrants had been issued to GAF as of September 30, 2003, and GAF had not instituted any legal proceedings against the Company. The Company cannot reasonably estimate any future
possible loss as a result of this matter. The Company has made no provision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for resolution of this matter.



On May 1, 2002, the Company filed suit against an established customer of the Companys Pittsburgh distribution center for collection of past due accounts
receivable. The customer accounted for approximately $4.1 million, or 1.5%, of the gross revenue of the Company in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. The Company has an unconditional personal guaranty signed by the customers owner. On May
23, 2002, the customer filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, under Chapter Eleven of the United States Bankruptcy Act, subsequent to which the customer failed to file the proper financial data with the court, causing
the voluntary bankruptcy filing to be withdrawn. Management is continuing to pursue its claim for payment through the courts and working with the major creditors to process return of inventory. The Company currently has reserved an allowance account
of $669,000, representing approximately 75% of the account balance.



On October
2, 2003, QK Healthcare, Inc. filed a complaint against Valley in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of New York including several counts with regard to the sale of twenty bottles of Lipitor by Valley to QK Healthcare, Inc.,
including breach of contract, violations of the implied warranty of merchantability, and fraud. The complaint demands actual damages, punitive damages and legal fees and expenses. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. The Company
cannot reasonably estimate any future possible loss as a result of this matter and has made no provision in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the resolution of this matter.



The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of
its operations in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that none of the claims that were outstanding as of September 30, 2003 should have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
