  Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
  
Results of Operations

     Total revenues for the first nine months of 1996 increased over 93% over
the first nine months of 1995 to approximately $12,857,000, representing an 
increase of $6,217,860.  The main reasons for the increase were the purchase
of Conway Associates ("Conway") in February of 1996 and Eaton/DAW (a drug store
chain) in August 1996.  Conway is a distributor of fire and rescue equipment
and supplies. Conway contributed net sales of$3,633,335 for the first nine
months of 1996.  Eaton/DAW contributed almost $2.5 million in net sales. 
Anton Investments ("Anton") had an increase of approximately $240,000 or 18%
of net sales over the first nine months of 1995 to $2,180,455.  Anton is a
distributor of fire police and rescue equipment and supplies.  Anton's reasons
for the increase were:  the sale of five fire trucks in the first three quarters
of 1996 as compared to the sale of one fire truck over the same comparable
period in 1995, and a division of Anton's in Massachusetts had increased
sales of $122,000 over the first nine months of 1995.  The medical distribution
company, ADCO Surgical Supply,("ADCO"), located in Maine, had increased sales
of approximately $105,000 over the first nine months of 1995.  ADCO's increase
in sales is mainly due to increasing business in the long-term care market.
The medical distribution company, ADCO South Medical Supplies, ("ADCO South"),
located in South Florida, had a decrease of approximately $20,000 in net sales
for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The
decrease was the result of decreased equipment sales as compared to the first
nine months of 1995.

     Net sales and other revenues for the second quarter were $5,447,238
as compared to $2,637,800 for the same period of 1995.  The main reasons
for the increases are as stated above.

     The Company's overall gross profit margin was 21.8% for the first nine
months of 1996, as compared to gross margin of 23.1% for the comparable period
in 1995.  One of the main reasons for the decline in the gross profit margin
was the margin of the newly purchased company, Conway and Eaton/DAW.  Conway's
had a gross profit margin of 13.9%.  Fire trucks and equipment are sold at
lower gross margins.  Approximately 53% of Conway's sales were fire trucks and
equipment.  Eaton's gross profit margin was 21.4% .Anton's gross margin
remained about the same as compared to the same period of 1995.  ADCO's gross
margin was 26.1% for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995.  ADCO South had
an increase in their gross margin to approximately 28.7% as compared to 24.5%
for the first nine months of 1995.  This is the result of a continuing effort
to raise gross profit margins.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Results of Operations: continued,

     During the first nine months of 1996, selling, general, and administrative
expenses increased 62.0% for the first nine months of 1996 to $3,070,633.  The
Company had an overall increase of approximately $1,183,681 in expenses over the
comparable period of 1995.  Conway and Eaton added new overhead expenses.
Genetic Vectors ("Vectors") had an increase in overhead expenses of
$175,000 for 1996 as compared to $129,764.  The reason for this increase is
general operating expenses with no offsetting sales.  Genetic Vectors is 
incurring expenses relating to them going public.  The other companies combined
for a net reduction of $10,000.  These reductions are the result of continuing
efforts of lowering overhead and the continued use of subsidiary personnel as
much as possible.

     Net interest expense as a percentage of sales was .01% in the first nine
months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. 
 
     A net loss of ($340,736) occurred in the first nine months of 1996, 2.7%
of net sales.  This compares to a net loss of ($421,117) for the first nine
months of 1995, or 6.3% of net sales.  The losses in 1996 are a combination
of Genetic Vectors, Anton Enterprises and corporate overhead. Their combined
losses totalled ($345,000).

    The third quarter of 1996, showed a net loss of ($283,974) as compared to
a net loss of ($73,364) for the same period of 1995.  The main reason for the
losses are stated above. The reason for the increase in cash is described
below in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this report.

       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE THIRD QUARTER RESULTS


Results of Operations: continued,

     The Company expects its gross margin to decrease during the balance of 
fiscal year 1996 as a result of anticipated increased high dollar but lower
margin fire truck sales.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary sources of working capital this year has been the
receipt of funds from the sales of stock pursuant to Regulation S under the
Securities Act of 1933.  In the first nine months of 1996, the Company sold 
610,885 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $3,318,733.  In
connection with the common stock issuance, 314,478 warrants were granted to
purchase common stock at $6.625 per share exercisable over a two-year period.
All of the warrants were exercised in the second quarter of 1996 and the
Company received net proceeds of $1,963,703. 

     The current ratio at September 30, 1996, was 4.3 as compared to 1.1 at
September 30, 1995.  Working capital for the first nine months of 1996 was
$6,061,438 or 64.9% of total assets.  Working capital for the first nine
months of 1995 was $278,225 or 8.0% of total assets.  At December 31, 1995,
the current ratio was 1.4, while working capital was $708,946 or 18.6% of total
assets. 

The Company values its inventories using the FIFO method.

     As of September 30, 1996, cash and cash items increased to $6,487,427, as
compared to $262,099 at December 31, 1995.  The main reason for this increase
in cash was the sale of 907,293 shares of the Company's common stock.  The
Company believes it has adequate cash and cash equivalents to meet its 
working capital needs.  Additionally, the cash balance and equivalents at 
June 30, 1996, included approximately $184,000 from Genetic Vectors, arising
from its bridge financing as described in Item 3 of this report.
     
     On August 5, 1996, the Company acquired 80% of the stock of a corporation,
D.A.W., Inc. ("D.A.W."), which owns nine pharmacies located in Massachusetts,
six of which are located in northeast Massachusetts, and the other three in the
suburbs of Boston.  The Company paid the selling shareholders of D.A.W. $325,000
in cash and 20,000 shares of its common stock.  Additionally, the Company 
contributed $200,000 in capital to D.A.W. and paid $800,000 to acquire 80% of
an affiliated corporation which owns the license rights and the intellectual 
property rights to the name of "Eaton Apothecary" under which name the pharmacy
transacts business.  The $800,000 was paid to the affiliated corporation and
will be used for working capital and to expand the pharmacy chain's business.

The purchase price also provides that if D.A.W.'s net income for the initial
twelve months following the closing is not at least $300,000 before provision
of income taxes, the purchase price shall be reduced by an amount up to
$100,000. D.A.W entered into long-term employment agreements with its five
principal pharmacists who were four of the selling shareholders and the
husband of the fifth, and the D.A.W. shareholders, including the Company,
entered into a shareholder's agreement providing for joint control of the
board of directors of D.A.W. and the affiliated company.
 
     Business in the first nine months of 1996 continues to be very competitive
but encouraging.  Anton and Conway are expecting to deliver six fire trucks for
the third quarter of 1996.  Anton has hired additional sales representatives to
cover Massachusetts, New York, Louisiana, and Florida.  Anton has enlarged its
Scarborough service center to better handle refurbishing of fire trucks.

     ADCO continues to focus on its long-term care market and is pursuing
more business with physician groups.  ADCO's sales of its accessibility
equipment continue to increase as ADA compliance is being acted on throughout
the State of Maine.  ADCO South continues to explore entering the high volume
incontinence and glove markets in long-term care facilities in South Florida.

                                    PART II
  Item 3:  Other information

     In 1995, the Company decided to spin-off Vectors.  This is expected to 
occur in conjunction with Vector's proposed initial public offering as 
described below.  Following this decision, lengthy periodic discussions ensued
with Vectors' management which culminated in a March 1996 agreement whereby the
president of Vectors and his wife conveyed back to the Company all of its Class
B Preferred Stock in exchange for 20% of Vectors.  The Company paid $7,000 to
Vectors and agreed to continue paying Vectors $1,000 per week thereafter until
earlier of (i) receipt by Vectors of in bridge financing, or (ii) completion of
the spin-off.  In July 1996, Vectors sold 110,000 shares of common stock at
$5.00 per share and the Company terminated its support of Vectors.  From the
proceeds of its bridge offering, Vectors repaid $50,000 to the Company and

  Item 3:  Other information, continued

agreed to discuss, with the Company, the remaining indebtedness.  Currently,
the Company owns 1,279,920 shares Vectors' common stock, the bridge investors
own 110,000 shares, and the founders of Vectors own 319,980 shares.  The Company
has been advised by Vectors' counsel, in August 1996, that they intend to file
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
sale to the public of 400,000 shares of common stock at an estimated public
offering price of $10.00 per share subject to the underwriter's option to
purchase an additional 60,000 shares solely to cover over-allotments.  Shamrock
Partners, Ltd. has signed a letter of intent with Vectors to act as managing
underwriter of the initial public offering.  The Company anticipates that the
registration process will take six to eight weeks at which time the Company
intends to effect the spin-off in conjunction with the initial public offering
of Vectors.


The Company is still actively seeking to acquire medical related companies.
