The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. Page 6 of 22 D & K HEALTHCARE RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION D & K Healthcare Resources, Inc. (the "Company") is a full-service, regional wholesale drug distributor, supplying customers from facilities in Missouri, Kentucky, Minnesota, Texas, Arkansas, and South Dakota. The Company distributes a broad range of pharmaceuticals and related products to its customers in 27 states primarily in the Midwest, Upper Midwest, and South. The Company focuses primarily on a target market sector, which includes independent retail, institutional, franchise, chain store and alternate site pharmacies. The Company also offers a number of proprietary information systems software products through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Tykon, Inc. and VC Services, Inc. (dba Viking Computer Services). In addition, the Company owns Pharmaceutical Buyers, Inc. ("PBI"), a leading alternate-site group purchasing organization. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim reporting, which are less than those required for annual reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair representation have been included. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's 2004 Annual Report to Stockholders. NOTE 2. ACQUISITION On September 30, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 30% of Pharmaceutical Buyers, Inc. (PBI), a Colorado-based group purchasing organization for alternate-site providers whose members include long-term care providers, home infusion providers and medical equipment distributors. The purchase price was $12.4 million. The transaction resulted in recognition of $7.7 million of goodwill, which was assigned to the PBI segment. Of that amount, none is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets of $3.8 million were also recorded with a weighted-average life of approximately 15 years. The intangible assets that make up that amount include customer relationships of $3.2 million (15-year weighted-average useful life) and other assets of $0.2 million (10-year weighted-average useful life). In addition, $0.4 million of intangible assets were determined to have indefinite lives. On December 5, 2003, the Company acquired 100 % of the outstanding common stock of Walsh HealthCare Solutions, Inc. ("Walsh") of Texarkana, Texas. Walsh is a full-service pharmaceutical distributor with distribution centers located in San Antonio and Texarkana, Texas and Paragould, Arkansas. The results of Walsh have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since that date. The aggregate purchase price of $104.4 million in cash before consideration of cash acquired includes the repayment of all Walsh bank debt and other direct acquisition costs. The Company utilized its existing revolving credit facility to finance the transaction. The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of consolidated results of operations of the Company, PBI and Walsh for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, as if the Walsh and PBI acquisitions had occurred at July 1, 2003, with pro forma adjustments to give effect to amortization of intangible assets, interest expense on acquisition debt, minority interest, and certain other adjustments, together with related income tax effects. The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of results of operations had these transactions been completed as of the assumed dates or results of operations which may be obtained in the future.

NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the methods of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As permitted by SFAS 148 and SFAS 123, the Company continues to apply the accounting provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005. We continue to assess the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) could have on our financial statements. The Company generally grants its stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant and, therefore, under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized in the statements of operations. Had the Company recorded compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair values, as defined by SFAS 123, for awards granted under its stock option plans and stock purchase plan, the unaudited pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share would have been as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In thousands, except per share amounts) December 31, December 31, -------------------- --------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 -------- ------- -------- -------- Net income (loss) - as reported $ (739) $ 177 $ (2,678) $ 1,644 Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of tax (366) (407) (410) (800) -------- ------- -------- -------- Net income (loss) - pro forma $ (1,105) $ (230) $ (3,088) $ 844 Earnings (loss) per share: Basic - as reported $ (0.05) $ 0.01 $ (0.19) $ 0.12 Basic - pro forma $ (0.08) $ (0.02) $ (0.22) $ 0.06 Diluted - as reported $ (0.05) $ 0.01 $ (0.19) $ 0.11 Diluted - pro forma $ (0.08) $ (0.02) $ (0.23) $ 0.05
These pro forma amounts may not be representative of the effects for future years as options vest over several years and additional awards are generally granted each year. Page 8 of 22 NOTE 4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Changes to goodwill and intangible assets during the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 are:
(In thousands) Goodwill Intangible Assets ---------- ----------------- Balance at June 30, 2004, net of accumulated amortization $ 64,233 $ 6,546 Acquisition 7,679 3,756 Adjustment to Walsh purchase price (163) - Amortization expense - (407) ---------- --------------- Balance at December 31, 2004, net of accumulated amortization $ 71,749 $ 9,895 ========== ===============
Intangible assets totaled $9.9 million, net of accumulated amortization of $1.2 million, at December 31, 2004. Of this amount, $0.6 million represents intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, consisting primarily of trade names that are not being amortized under SFAS No. 142. The remaining intangibles relate to customer or supplier relationships and licenses. Amortization expense for intangible assets is expected to approximate $0.8 million each year between 2004 and 2014 and $0.2 million from 2015 to 2018.
Goodwill Intangible Assets ----------------------------- ----------------------------- December 31, June 30, 2004 December 31, June 30, 2004 (In millions) 2004 2004 2004 2004 ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------- SEGMENT: Wholesale drug distribution $ 51.6 $ 51.8 $ 4.7 $ 5.0 PBI 18.7 11.0 5.2 1.5 Software 1.4 1.4 - - ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------- Total $ 71.7 $ 64.2 $ 9.9 $ 6.5 ============ ============= ============ =============
The Company tests goodwill annually as of April 30. A discounted cash flow model is used to determine the fair value of the Company's businesses for the purpose of testing goodwill for impairment. The discount rate used is based on a risk-adjusted weighted-average cost of capital. NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share and requires a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations are as follows:

(1) Outstanding shares computed on a weighted-average basis As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, stock options to purchase 1.4 million and 0.9 million shares, respectively, were not dilutive and therefore not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. NOTE 6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company's comprehensive income consists of net income and the net change in value of cash flow hedge instruments as follows: (in thousands)

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, such as standby letters of credit and other guarantees, which are not reflected in the accompanying balance sheets. At December 31, 2004, the Company was party to standby letters of credit of approximately $15.8 million and was the guarantor of certain customer obligations totaling approximately $0.2 million. Management does not expect any material losses to result from these off-balance-sheet items. The Company has entered into an agreement with Parata Systems, LLC to become the exclusive distributor of their robotic dispensing system ("RDS") for independent and regional pharmacies in a 23-state region and Puerto Rico. The Parata RDS is specifically designed to meet the needs of retail pharmacies by automating up to 150 prescriptions per hour. The RDS uses a bar-coded maintenance system to ensure accuracy and eliminate potential for operator error. The Parata RDS can be a significant tool to increase efficiency, effectiveness and accuracy, and provide pharmacists with more time for interaction with patients. As part of the agreement, the Company has committed to purchase machines during a period that ends June 2006. At December 31, 2004, the remaining purchase commitment was approximately $23 million. On February 5, 2004, an individual named Gary Dutton filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri ("Court") against the Company and its Chief Executive, Operating and Financial Officers ("Defendants") asserting a class action for alleged breach of fiduciary duties and violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On April 30, 2004, United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Local 655, AFL-CIO, Food Employees Joint Pension Plan ("Local 655") filed a motion to become lead plaintiff. On October 5, 2004, the Court granted Local 655's motion appointing it lead plaintiff. On November 15, 2004, plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint against the Defendants and Richard Plotnick and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. Bristol-Meyers Squibb and Mr. Plotnick have filed Motions to Dismiss based on statute of limitations and pleading deficiency grounds. On February 4, 2005, The Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss based upon factual errors in plaintiff's pleadings and on the grounds that plaintiff failed to meet Page 10 of 22 the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act threshold pleading requirements of adequate particularity and scienter. Defendants believe they have substantial meritorious defenses to the Complaint and, if their Motion to Dismiss is not granted, they intend to vigorously defend against the claims. There are various pending claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of the Company's business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that these claims and lawsuits will not have such an impact. NOTE 8. LONG-TERM DEBT At December 31, 2004, the Company was party to a $600 million asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility. Under the credit facility, the total amount of loans and letters of credit outstanding at any time could not exceed the lesser of an amount based on percentages of eligible receivables and inventories (the borrowing base formula) and $600 million. Total credit available at December 31, 2004 was approximately $536 million of which approximately $86 million was unused. The interest rate on the credit facility was based on the 30-day London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus a factor based on certain financial criteria. The interest rate was 4.92% at December 31, 2004. The facility was to expire in March 2007 and contains no subjective acceleration provision, and therefore, the related debt has been classified as long-term in the Company's financial statements. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of December 31, 2004. On January 7, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to its asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation, as agent, and the other lenders named therein. The amendment increases the Company's available credit from $600 million to $635 million through the addition of a $35 million last-out tranche at LIBOR plus 5%. In addition, the term of the facility is extended by two years to March 2009 and includes an accordion feature that would allow the Company to expand the facility to $735 million. The interest rate on the credit facility continues to be based on the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a factor (2.25% at February 2, 2005) based on the excess availability under the facility. The credit facility contains restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, distributions and dividends to stockholders, investments and loans. The Company is required to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio only if availability falls below certain levels. Availability represents the amount by which borrowing base collateral exceeds the utilized portion of the credit facility. The Company may use the funds provided under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, investments and acquisitions. The borrowings under the credit facility will continue to be reported as long-term debt in the Company's financial statements. Page 11 of 22 NOTE 9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS Pursuant to SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," the Company has three identifiable business segments: Wholesale Drug Distribution, the Company's interest in PBI, and Software/Other. Two wholly owned software subsidiaries, Tykon, Inc. and Viking Computer Services, and D & K Pharmacy Solutions constitute the Software/Other segment. Viking markets a pharmacy management software system and Tykon developed and markets a proprietary PC-based order entry/order confirmation system to the drug distribution industry. Pharmacy Solutions provides additional services to pharmacy customers, including the marketing and distribution of Parata robotic dispensing systems. Though the Wholesale Drug Distribution segment operates from several different facilities, the nature of its products and services, the types of customers and the methods used to distribute its products are similar, and thus they have been aggregated for presentation purposes. The Company operates principally in the United States.

(1) Cost of operations recorded by PBI for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, have been classified as operating expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, cost of operations recorded by PBI of $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, have been classified as operating expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The increase in total assets from the Company's 2004 Annual Report relates primarily to increased inventory levels and the acquisition of the remaining portion of PBI. There are no other differences in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss. Page 12 of 22 D & K HEALTHCARE RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The discussion below is concerned with material changes in financial condition and results of operations in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, and in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. We recommend that this discussion be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2004 Annual Report to Stockholders. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in this document regarding future events, prospects, projections or financial performance are forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and may be identified by words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends" and similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, including without limitation, the changing business and regulatory environment of the healthcare industry in which we operate, including manufacturers' pricing or distribution policies or practices, the competitive nature of the wholesale pharmaceutical distribution industry with many competitors having substantially greater resources than us, our ability to maintain or improve our operating margins with the industry's competitive pricing pressures, our customers and suppliers generally having the right to terminate or reduce their purchases or shipments on relatively short notice, changes in our prime vendor status with cooperative purchasing groups, the availability of investment purchasing opportunities, the loss of one or more key suppliers for which alternative sources may not be available, changes in private and governmental reimbursement or in the delivery systems for healthcare products, changes in interest rates, our ability to complete and integrate acquisitions successfully, and other factors set forth in reports and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. The reader should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. RECENT TRENDS AND EVENTS Sales in the national accounts trade class fell below expectations in the first six months of fiscal 2005, as fewer than anticipated product price increases enacted by pharmaceutical manufacturers resulted in lower activity in this trade class. Changes in manufacturers' inventory management practices resulting in reduced availability of product also impacted revenues in this trade class. Fewer than anticipated product price increases also resulted in lower gross profit margin in the independent and regional pharmacies trade class during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2005. However, during this period sales trends in this trade class show continued growth that partially offset the effect of lower gross profit margins. We believe this sales growth reflects improved regional and independent retail pharmacy industry sales trends in our service territory and the impact of new business. Changing behavior on the part of pharmaceutical manufacturers is impacting and will continue to impact how distributors generate earnings. Three important changes we have noted include changes in the timing of product price increases, tightening of control over inventory in the distribution channel resulting in fewer opportunities to purchase inventory from sources other than the original manufacturer, and a transition to "fee for service" compensation models which generally reduce the ability to accumulate inventory positions ahead of price increases. With these changes, and with others likely over time, we expect that our business model and earnings growth will evolve to reflect that of our core business. We refer to our "core" operations as the combination of our "independent and regional pharmacies" trade class and the "other healthcare providers" trade class. Customers in both of these classes of trade rely on us as their primary pharmaceutical and over-the-counter products supplier. We have taken Page 13 of 22 several important steps to position D & K for the change in pharmaceutical manufacturers' behavior. We have strengthened and broadened our core business through the acquisition of Walsh HealthCare Solutions. We have positioned our national accounts business with a flexible cost structure with minimal fixed costs so that we can maintain a presence and take advantage of opportunities if and when they exist. We also anticipate continued industry consolidation, which may provide additional acquisition opportunities. The current industry environment makes it difficult to forecast the timing of sales from national accounts. Factors such as changes in manufacturers' inventory management practices, changes in product pricing practices, and the transition from a "buy and hold" industry model to a "fee for service" model, are all making future results more difficult to project. We believe that the majority of 2005 earnings results will likely be generated in the second half of our fiscal year, similar to 2004. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET SALES Net sales increased $331.9 million to $842.8 million, or 65.0%, for the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Sales to independent and regional pharmacies increased $286.9 million to $683.6 million, or 72.3%, approximately 55% of which related to sales from the Walsh subsidiary. The majority of the remaining increase related to new business and same store growth. National accounts sales increased $42.7 million to $126.4 million, or 51.0%, compared to the prior year period primarily due to timing of sales. Net sales increased $579.0 million to $1,568.5 million, or 58.5%, for the six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Sales to independent and regional pharmacies increased $620.9 million to $1,337.6 million, or 86.6%. Approximately 60% of the increase related to Walsh sales. The majority of the remaining increase related to new business and same store growth. National accounts sales decreased $47.2 million to $164.4 million, or 22.3%, compared to last year primarily due to fewer product price increases enacted by pharmaceutical manufacturers and changes in pharmaceutical manufacturers' inventory management practices that reduced the availability of attractively priced purchase opportunities. We provide our national accounts customers bulk pharmaceuticals that we purchase, if available, on favorable terms from the manufacturers. If we are unable to obtain bulk inventory on favorable terms, our sales in this area will continue to decline. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit increased $6.7 million to $26.1 million, or 34.3%, and gross margin decreased from 3.81% to 3.10% for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. During the same periods, gross profit for the wholesale drug distribution segment increased $ 6.4 million to $22.8 million or 39.4% and gross margin decreased from 3.22% to 2.71%. The increases in gross profit were due to the addition of Walsh, additional sales related to new business and same store growth, and higher national accounts sales offset by continued pricing pressure on new and existing business. In addition, last year's results included a legal settlement received during the second quarter totaling $0.8 million (0.16% as a percent of net sales) that reduced cost of sales. The reductions in gross margin percentages were due to fewer price increases by manufacturers during the quarter and the price increases which did occur were, on average, lower than last year. Gross profit increased $11.6 million to $49.2 million, or 31.0%, and gross margin decreased from 3.79% to 3.14% for the six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. For the same periods, gross profit for the wholesale drug distribution segment increased $ 11.7 million to $43.2 million or 37.1% and gross margin decreased from 3.21% to 2.77%. The increases in gross profit were due to the addition of Walsh and additional sales related to new business and same store growth, which were partially offset by lower national accounts sales driven by fewer product price increases and continued pricing pressure on new and existing business. In addition, last year's results included a legal settlement received during the second quarter totaling $0.8 million (0.09% as a percent of net sales) that reduced cost of sales. The reductions in gross margin percentages were primarily due to fewer price increases by manufacturers during the first six months of fiscal 2005 and the price increases which did occur were, on average, lower than last year. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization) increased $6.2 million to $22.1 million, or 39.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The ratio of operating expenses to net sales was 2.62%, a 48 basis point decrease from the comparable Page 14 of 22 period of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses resulted primarily from the inclusion of Walsh-related operating expenses during all three months of the quarter compared to one month in the year ago quarter. The lower ratio of operating expenses to net sales related to the increase in sales. Operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization) increased $14.8 million to $43.9 million, or 51.1%, for the six months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The ratio of operating expenses to net sales was 2.8%, a 13 basis point decrease from the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses resulted primarily from the inclusion of Walsh-related operating expenses. The ratio of operating expense to net sales decreased due to the increase in sales. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET Net interest expense increased $2.1 million to $5.4 million, or 62.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, net interest expense increased to 0.64% from 0.65%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in net interest expense was primarily the result of higher average borrowing levels from higher inventory levels supporting sales growth, the Walsh acquisition and higher average borrowing rates. Net interest expense increased $4.0 million to $9.5 million, or 73.6%, for the six months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, net interest expense increased to 0.61% from 0.55%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in net interest expense was primarily the result of higher average borrowing levels driven by financing higher average investment in inventory, the Walsh acquisition and a higher average borrowing rate. INCOME TAX BENEFIT (PROVISION) Our effective income tax rate was 39.0% for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2004, the same as the corresponding period of the prior year. These rates were different from the statutory blended federal and state rates primarily because of the impact of state income taxes. PBI Net sales at PBI were $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004, up $0.2 million from the corresponding period of the prior year. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, PBI's net sales were $4.6 million which was approximately the same as the year ago period. Gross profit generated by PBI as a percentage of our total gross profit decreased from 11.7% to 9.5% for the three months and from 12.2% to 9.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2004 as a result of our higher overall gross profit. PBI recorded pre-tax earnings of $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004, up $0.2 million from the corresponding period of the prior year with the six month pre-tax earnings of $2.2 million, approximately the same as last year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We generally meet our working capital requirements through a combination of internally generated funds, borrowings under the revolving line of credit and trade credit from our suppliers. We use the following ratios as key indicators of our liquidity and working capital management:
DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 2004 2004 ------------ ---------- Working capital (1) (000s) $ 504,094 $ 382,900 Current ratio 2.56 to 1 2.52 to 1
(1) Working capital is total current assets less total current liabilities on our balance sheet. The current ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. As cash is collected on accounts receivable, it is used to immediately reduce long term debt. Our wholesale drug segment requires a substantial investment in working capital that is susceptible to large variations during the year as a result of inventory purchase patterns and seasonal demands. Inventory purchase activity is a function of sales activity, new customer build-up requirements and the desired level of investment inventory. Working capital at December 31, 2004 had increased over June 30, 2004 levels as our inventory levels increased due to the normal seasonal inventory requirements and as the result of decreased sales in our national Page 15 of 22 accounts trade class. The increase in inventory levels was partially offset by a corresponding increase in accounts payable associated with the inventory. Under our $600 million credit facility in effect at December 31, 2005, the total amount of loans and letters of credit outstanding at any time could not exceed the lesser of an amount based on percentages of eligible receivables and inventories (the borrowing base formula) and $600 million. Total credit available at December 31, 2004 was approximately $536 million, of which approximately $86 million was unused. The PBI acquisition and the increase in inventory levels account for the increase in outstanding long-term debt as the credit facility was used as the source of funds. The interest rate on the credit facility was based on the 30-day London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus a factor based on certain financial criteria. The interest rate was 4.92% at December 31, 2004. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of December 31, 2004. At this time, we project that we will be in compliance with the debt covenants for the next 12 months. On January 7, 2005, we entered into an amendment to our asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility. The amendment increases our available credit from $600 million to $635 million through the addition of a $35 million last-out tranche at LIBOR plus 5%. In addition, the term of the facility is extended by two years to March 2009 and includes an accordion feature that would allow us to expand the facility to $735 million. The interest rate on the credit facility continues to be based on the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a factor (2.25% at February 2, 2005) based on the excess availability under the facility. The credit facility contains restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, distributions and dividends to stockholders, investments and loans. We are required to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio only if availability falls below certain levels. Availability represents the amount by which borrowing base collateral exceeds the utilized portion of the credit facility. We may use the funds provided under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, investments and acquisitions. The borrowings under the credit facility will continue to be reported as long-term debt in our financial statements. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $128.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004 with net cash used in operating activities of $223.2 million in the prior year. This decrease is primarily the result of lower accounts payable levels due to timing of payments partially offset by increases in inventory levels. We invested $2.2 million in capital assets in the six months ended December 31, 2004, compared with $2.4 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Current year and prior year additions relate primarily to the expansion of our Cape Girardeau distribution center. We believe that continuing investment in capital assets is necessary to achieve our goal of improving operational efficiency, thereby enhancing our productivity and profitability. Net cash inflows provided by financing activities totaled $136.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004, with net cash provided by financing activities of $328.5 million for last year. This resulted from borrowings under our revolving line of credit related to the purchase of PBI and to support our inventory levels. Last year's results included the borrowings under our credit facility to purchase Walsh. Stockholders' equity decreased $1.8 million to $177.5 million at December 31, 2004, from $179.3 million at June 30, 2004, due to the net loss during the period. We believe that funds available under the credit facility, together with internally generated funds, will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements for the foreseeable future. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Refer to "Critical Accounting Policies" in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information on accounting policies that we consider critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements. These policies include significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates are made. However, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used. Page 16 of 22 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Refer to Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards. Our adoption of these new accounting standards did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In addition, the following new standards were issued recently. In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory Costs, which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a material impact on our financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which eliminates the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on our financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005. We continue to assess the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) could have on our financial statements. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Our primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings. An increase in interest rates would adversely affect our operating results and the cash flow available to fund operations and expansion. Based on estimated average variable borrowings during fiscal 2005, a change of 25 basis points in the average variable borrowing rate would result in a change of approximately $0.7 million in annual interest expense. We continually monitor this risk and review the potential benefits of entering into hedging transactions, such as interest rate swap agreements, to mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In connection with such evaluation, no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Page 17 of 22 D & K HEALTHCARE RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. On February 5, 2004, an individual named Gary Dutton filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri ("Court") against the Company and its Chief Executive, Operating and Financial Officers ("Defendants") asserting a class action for alleged breach of fiduciary duties and violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On April 30, 2004, United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Local 655, AFL-CIO, Food Employees Joint Pension Plan ("Local 655") filed a motion to become lead plaintiff. On October 5, 2004, the Court granted Local 655's motion appointing it lead plaintiff. On November 15, 2004, plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint against the Defendants and Richard Plotnick and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. Bristol-Meyers Squibb and Mr. Plotnick have filed Motions to Dismiss based on statute of limitations and pleading deficiency grounds. On February 4, 2005, The Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss based upon factual errors in plaintiff's pleadings and on the grounds that plaintiff failed to meet the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act threshold pleading requirements of adequate particularity and scienter. Defendants believe they have substantial meritorious defenses to the Complaint and, if their Motion to Dismiss is not granted, they intend to vigorously defend against the claims. There are various pending claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of the Company's business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that these claims and lawsuits will not have such an impact. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
