  Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

  Results of Operations

Quarter Ended March 31, 1999 as compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1998.

NET SALES. Total sales for the first quarter of 1999 increased 19.7% over the
first quarter of 1998 to $9,454,434, representing an increase of $1,554,628.

The following table shows sales by subsidiary for first quarter of 1999 and
1998:

                     March 31,        March 31,
Subsidiary             1999             1998    % increase (decrease)
Eaton               $5,697,864      $5,023,245        13.4%
Anton                  709,421         741,013        (4.3)
ADCO                 1,355,922       1,298,842         4.4
SCBA                     4,296           8,278       (48.1)
ADCO South             280,433         281,334           -
Conway               1,382,612         547,094       152.7
Nyer Diabetic           23,886                       100.0
                    $9,454,434      $7,899,806

     The major reason for the increase in sales was due to Conway's
three fire truck deliveries in the first quarter of 1999 as compared
to no fire truck deliveries in the first quarter of 1998.  Eaton's
increase was due to the acquisition of two pharmacies in the first
quarter of 1998.

GROSS PROFIT MARGIN.  The Company's overall gross margins were approximately
19.3% in 1999 as compared 21.6% for the first quarter of 1998.

  Results of Operations: continued,

The following is a table of gross margins by subsidiary for the first
quarter of 1999 and 1998:

               March 31,        March 31,
Subsidiary        1999             1998
Eaton             20.2%            21.8%
Anton             19.6             14.6
ADCO              24.8             24.6
SCBA              41.2             61.6
ADCO South        29.1             24.4
Conway             8.1             14.5
Nyer Diabetic     19.1                -


     Eaton's gross margin declined due to lower reimbursements from insurance
companies, medicare and medicaid.  They believe they can off set this decline
by increased sales volume.  Anton's increase was the result of higher
supplies sales and lower sales in equipment sales (supplies sales generally
have a higher gross profit margin than equipment sales).  Conway's decrease
in margin was the result of three fire truck deliveries in the first quarter
of 1999 as compared to no fire truck deliveries in the first quarter of 1998.
Fire trucks and equipment sales are sold at lower gross margins.  The average
gross profit margin for fire trucks is between 3-7%.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Consolidated selling, general,
and administrative expenses increased approximately 7.7% in 1999 to
$2,176,333 from $2,019,930 in 1998.  The following table shows the breakdown
by subsidiary (and corporate expenses) as follows:

                    March 31,        March 31,
Subsidiary            1999             1998

Conway                 141,340         173,036
Nyle Home Health           317             183

                   $ 2,176,333     $ 2,019,930

     The main increases came from Eaton's acquisition of two additional drug
stores.  Anton's and Conway's decrease is due to less personnel costs.

NET LOSS. In total, the Company experienced a net loss of $226,376 in 1999 as
compared to a net loss of $347,693 in 1998.  The Company sustained a loss
from continuing operations before taxes of $226,376 in 1999 as compared to a
loss of $217,758 in 1998.

                    $ (226,376)      $ (217,758)

     The majority of the loss came from the Company's subsidiary, Nyer
Nutritional, which showed a loss of $90,589 for the first quarter of 1999 as
compared to a loss of $123,284 for the same period of 1998.  Nyer Nutritional
generated no revenues for the first quarter of 1999 and is the process of
completing its new packaging for their product line. Eaton incurred
additional overhead costs associated with its sale of a store and the
implementation of a new computer system.  ADCO's loss of $17,312 as compared
to a loss of $29,729 in 1998, can be attributed to increased sales and margin
which was partially off set by costs associated with the start up of its
respiratory division in February of 1999 which had minimal sales to offset
the additional overhead.  Corporate's reduced net income of $1,275 as
compared to a net income of $32,265 in 1998, is attributable to increased
overhead for public relations and the Company had less interest income for
the first quarter of 1999 as compared to 1998.  ADCO South's net income was
the result of increased gross profit margins.  ADCO South also had minimal
equipment sales for the first quarter of 1999 as compared to 1998.  Anton and
Conway's reduction in their losses is due to less personnel costs.  Nyer
Nutritional's decrease in overhead was due to less selling and show expenses
for the first quarter of 1999 as compared to 1998's first quarter.

     The Company currently owns 739,216 shares (or 31.5%) of the outstanding
common stock of Vectors.

     In December 1998, the Company wrote down its investment in Vectors to
zero due to significant uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to
recover its investment.

    Net interest expense as a percentage of sales was less than 1% in the
first three months of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST QUARTER RESULTS


Liquidity and Capital Resources


     In January 1999, the Company sold certain assets of a pharmacy
for cash.

     During the first quarter of 1999, the Company's pharmacy chain
borrowed on its line of credit in the amount of $200,000.  The interest
rate is prime which was 7.75% as of May 21, 1999.

     The Company anticipates at current cash levels is adequate to fund the
operating needs and potential acquisitions for the foreseeable future.

Year 2000

    IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 - Computer Systems Compliance

     The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of the way computer
systems and programs define calendar dates; they could fail or make
miscalculations due to interpreting a date including "00" to mean
the year 1900, not year 2000.  Some computer programs were written
using two digits rather than four to define the appropriate year.
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions in normal business activities.

     The Company has substantially analyzed its computer systems,
including embedded chip technology, to determine the potential
technical and economic impact of the "Year 2000 Issue" on the
Company's systems and business operations.  In the last two
years, the Company has upgraded its major computer systems and
programs.  To date, the Company has identified only one of its
subsidiaries which will have to replace its computer system in
order to be Year 2000 compliant.  The Company estimates this cost
will be no greater than $15,000.

     The Company is requesting assurances from its outside
suppliers which it relies on for inventory and services and its
customers (which includes 3rd party insurance companies), that
they are Year 2000 Compliant.

     The Company does not expect that the costs of addressing the
Year 2000 issues (which are in the Company's control) will have a
material effect on their future operating results or financial
position.  The Company's management believes its in-house risks, as
associated with the Y2K problems, are minimal.  The Company has
limited or no control over their outside suppliers and its
customers Y2K problems.  Any failure of these parties could have
a material adverse effect on continued uninterrupted business
operations of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued


     At this time, the Company is in the process of developing a
contingency plan for its systems that are not Year 2000 compliant
and intends to have it in place by late second quarter of 1999.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements made above relating to: (1) the anticipated costs to
the Company of complying with the Year 2000 conversion, (2) the
anticipated future impact as a result of outside suppliers not
being Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The results anticipated by any or all of the forward-looking
statements may not occur.



Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 as compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1997.

     Total revenues for the first quarter of 1998 increased 16% over the
first quarter of 1997 to $7,899,806, representing an increase of $1,083,562.

The following table shows revenues of the Company's principal subsidiaries:

                     March 31,        March 31,
Subsidiary             1998             1997    % increase (decrease)
Eaton               $5,023,245      $4,028,499        24.7%
Anton                  741,013         554,102        33.7
ADCO                 1,298,842       1,325,294        (2.0)
SCBA                     8,278          16,177       (48.8)

                    $7,899,806      $6,816,244

     The major reason for this increase in revenues was due to the Company's
pharmacy chain, Eaton.  Eaton acquired two pharmacies in June and September
of 1997 and one in March 1998.  This contributed to the increase in revenues
over the first quarter of 1997.  Anton's sales increased due to the opening
of a new location in New Hampshire in the middle of the first quarter of
1997, moved and expanded its Massachusetts division and the hiring of a full-
time salesman in New York in May 1997.  ADCO's sales decreased due to the
lower than expected government and equipment sales.

     The Company's overall gross margins were approximately 21.6% in 1998 as
compared 21.4% for the first quarter of 1997.

Conway            14.5             14.8

     Eaton's gross margins increased due to increased purchasing power with
the addition of two pharmacies.  Anton's gross margins decreased due to a
fire truck sale in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to $0 in 1997.
Fire truck sales have lower margins than other products sold by Anton.
ADCO South's gross margins decreased due to increased equipment sales
which have lower margins.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased approximately
16% in 1998 to $2,019,930 from $1,751,827 in 1997.  The following table

                   $ 2,019,930     $ 1,751,827

     The main increases came from Eaton's acquisition of two additional drug
stores and Anton's expansion in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New York.

     In total, the Company experienced a net loss of $347,693 in 1998 as

                    $ (217,758)      $ (131,623)

     The majority of the loss came from the Company's subsidiary, Nyer
Nutritional, which showed a loss of $123,284 for the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to a loss of $84,331 for the same period of 1997.  Nyer Nutritional
generated no revenues for the first quarter of 1998 and is still incurring
start up costs and overhead costs associated with its AMTFTM product.  Eaton
incurred new overhead costs associated with its two new two pharmacies
acquired in the second and third quarter of 1997.  ADCO's loss of $29,729 as
compared to a net income of $11,160 can be attributed to lower than expected
government and equipment sales and lower margins.  Corporate's net income of
$32,265 as compared to a net loss of $28,186 is attributable to decreased
overhead costs and increased interest income.

     The Company recognized a loss from Genetic Vectors, Inc. "(Vectors")
of $117,431 for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to a loss of $34,600
in 1997. The Company currently owns 32.9% of outstanding common stock in
Vectors but it is not involved in its management and cannot affect its
results of operations.  The Company accounts for 32.9% of Vectors loss on
their consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation.

    Net interest expense as a percentage of sales was less than 1% in the
first three months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company recorded an
estimated provision for income taxes amounting to $115,000. In the second
quarter of 1997, management subsequently concluded that such provision
was unnecessary and reversed the entire amount.
