INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Bergen Brunswig Pre-Tax Investment
         Retirement Account:


We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of Bergen Brunswig Pre-Tax Investment  Retirement Account (the Plan) at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related  statements  of changes in net assets
available  for plan  benefits  for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December 31, 1995.  These  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on  these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the net assets  available  for plan benefits at December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the changes in net assets  available for plan benefits for each of the
three years in the period ended  December 31, 1995 in conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  information by fund is
presented  for  the  purpose  of  additional  analysis  of the  basic  financial
statements rather than to present information regarding the net assets available
for plan  benefits and changes in net assets  available for plan benefits of the
individual  funds and is not a required part of the basic financial  statements.
Also,  the  accompanying  supplemental  schedules  of (1) Item 27a - Schedule of
Assets Held for  Investment  Purposes at December 31,  1995,  and (2) Item 27d -
Schedule of  Reportable  Transactions  for the year ended  December 31, 1995 are
presented for the purpose of additional  analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial  statements,  but are supplementary  information required by
the  Department of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and  Disclosure
under the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974.  This  supplemental
information by fund and



                                       3

supplemental  schedules are the  responsibility of the Plan's  management.  Such
supplemental  information by fund and supplemental schedules have been subjected
to  the  auditing  procedures  applied  in our  audit  of  the  basic  financial
statements  and, in our opinion,  are fairly stated,  in all material  respects,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          -----------------------------

              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
              ----------------------------------------------------



1.       PLAN DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The  following  brief   description  of  the  Bergen  Brunswig  Pre-Tax
         Investment   Retirement   Account  ("Plan")  is  provided  for  general
         information  purposes  only.  Participants  should  refer  to the  Plan
         Agreement for more complete information.

         A.       GENERAL
                  -------
                  The Plan was established effective September 1, 1984. The Plan
                  is a deferred  compensation  and profit  sharing plan covering
                  substantially all employees of Bergen Brunswig Corporation and
                  its subsidiaries ("Employer") who have completed more than six
                  months of service.  The Plan is subject to the  provisions  of
                  the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
                  The  accounting  records  of the  Plan are  maintained  on the
                  accrual basis.

         B.       FUNDING POLICY
                  --------------
                  Participants  are entitled to defer 1% to 15% of their pre-tax
                  compensation through contributions to the Plan up to a maximum
                  of $9,240 in 1995.  Participants  are not  allowed to make any
                  other   contributions   to  the  Plan   except  for   rollover
                  contributions   from  other  retirement  plans.  The  Employer
                  contributes   $.50  for   each   $1.00   contributed   by  the
                  participant,  up to the participant's  investment of 6% of the
                  participant's salary. The Employer may also make an additional
                  contribution  to  the  Plan  at  the  Employer's   discretion.
                  Expenses  of the  Plan  up to the  amount  of  forfeitures  of
                  Employer  contributions  determined at the last Plan valuation
                  date are paid by the Plan.  Expenses  of the Plan in excess of
                  Employer  contribution  forfeitures  are paid  directly by the
                  Employer.  For the years ended  December  31,  1995,  1994 and
                  1993,   expenses   of   $119,547,    $231,904   and   $41,121,
                  respectively,   were   paid   by   forfeitures   of   Employer
                  contributions.

                  which approximates  fair  value.   Investment transactions are
                  recorded on a trade-date basis.

                  Participants  may  borrow  against a  maximum  of 50% of their

                  Such loans are shown as separate investments of the Plan, with
                  interest rates ranging from 6.00% to 12.75%, and are stated at

                  The total number of participants in the Plan was less than the
                  sum of the number of  participants  shown above  because  many
                  were participating in more than one fund.

         D.       BENEFIT DISTRIBUTION
                  --------------------
                  A  participant's  account shall be  distributed  in a lump sum
                  upon   retirement,   less  any  loans   outstanding.   Account
                  withdrawals  are permitted by  participants  who have attained
                  age 59-1/2 or who suffer certain financial  hardships and meet
                  criteria

                  established by the Internal Revenue Service.  All participants
                  not   eligible   for  normal   retirement   vest  in  Employer
                  contributions   at  20%  for  each  continuous  plan  year  of
                  participation.  Participants who terminate employment prior to
                  retirement  receive the vested  portion of their accounts in a
                  lump sum distribution.   Participants are 100% vested in their
                  own contributions at all times.

         E.       DEATH AND DISABILITY BENEFITS
                  -----------------------------
                  Upon the death of a participant,  the beneficiary receives, in
                  a lump sum, the vested amount in the account. Participants who
                  become disabled will receive  distributions in accordance with
                  normal retirement benefits.

         F.       PLAN TERMINATION
                  ----------------
                  The  Employer  has the right at any time to  declare  the Plan
                  terminated   completely  or  as  to  any  of  the   Employer's
                  divisions, facilities or operational units.

                  In the event that the Plan  terminates,  the  accounts  of all
                  participants will become fully vested.

         G.       OTHER
                  -----
                  Certain   reclassifications   have  been  made   in  the  1994
                  and 1993  financial statements  and  notes  to conform to 1995
                  presentations.


2.       INCOME TAX STATUS

         The Plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code as
         exempt from Federal income taxes.  Accordingly,  Employer contributions
         and  earnings  realized  by the Plan are not  taxed to the  participant
         until a distribution from the Plan is received. In addition, any shares
         of the Company Stock Fund distributed to a participant upon termination
         are taxed to the participant at the lower of cost or market measured as
         of the  distribution  date. The Plan obtained its latest  determination
         letter on January  24,  1996,  in which the  Internal  Revenue  Service
         stated that the Plan,  as then  designed,  was in  compliance  with the
         applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

3.       CHANGE OF TRUSTEE AND ADMINISTRATOR

         Effective  January 1, 1994,  the Plan  trustee and  administrator  were
         changed from Bankers Trust  Company of New York and The Wyatt  Company,
         respectively, to Merrill Lynch Trust Company of California.


4.       CHANGE IN INVESTMENT OPTIONS

         No new  Guaranteed  Investment  Contracts  ("GICs")  were  added to the
         Bergen Brunswig Fixed Fund, formerly the Guaranteed Income Fund, during
         1993,  1994 and 1995.  Allocation of investments  into a GIC pool which
         reflected  current 3 to 5 year GIC yields  contributed to a decrease in
         the combined  guaranteed interest rate from 8.21% to 7.56% per annum in
         1993.  The  surrender of GICs with  Hartford  Life  Insurance  Company,
         Integrity  Life,  IDS Life  Insurance  Company,  Life of  Virginia  and
         Shearson Lehman  Hutton/Federal  Home Life contributed to a decrease in
         the combined  guaranteed interest rate from 7.56% to 6.93% per annum in
         1994.  The  surrender  of  GICs  with  Life  Insurance  Company  of the
         Southwest,   Shearson/Integrity,   Integrity  Life  and  Hartford  Life
         Insurance Company  contributed to a decrease in the combined guaranteed
         interest rate from 6.93% to 6.81% per annum in 1995.

         During  March 1994,  the Plan was amended to entitle  participants  to
         defer 1% to 15% of their  compensation  through  contributions  to the
         Plan.

         On December 28, 1993, the Merrill Lynch Retirement  Preservation Trust,
         a  commingled  fixed  income  pooled  investment,   was  added  to  the
         Guaranteed  Income Fund  investment.  During  1994,  the Merrill  Lynch
         Retirement  Preservation Trust became a separate  investment option and
         the  Guaranteed  Income Fund was renamed as the Bergen  Brunswig  Fixed
         Fund.

         Effective  January 1, 1994, the Guaranteed  Income Fund  Investment was
         frozen with respect to any future  contribution  elections and incoming
         transfers  of  participant   account   balances.   Future   participant
         contributions  previously elected to go into the Guaranteed Income Fund
         Investment were invested in the Merrill Lynch  Retirement  Preservation
         Trust as of January 1, 1994.

5.       OTHER

         During December 1993,  account  balances in the Putnam  Fiduciary Trust
         Company GIC Fund were  transferred  into the Merrill  Lynch  Retirement
         Preservation Trust.

         During 1992,  the Employer  elected to  discontinue  the  Massachusetts
         Capital Development Diversified Equity Fund as of December 31, 1993. On
         January  1,  1993,  this Fund was  frozen  with  respect  to any future
         contribution  elections and incoming  transfers of participant  account
         balances.  During 1993,  certain  participants  directed  their account
         balances to other investment options of the Plan. On December 31, 1993,
         the remaining  account balances were transferred into the Merrill Lynch
         Retirement Preservation Trust.

         On  January 29, 1993, the Employer  acquired  substantially  all of the
         assets of  Healthcare Distributors of Indiana, Inc. ("HDI").  Employees
         of HDI became eligible to participate in the Plan on April 1, 1993.

         On April 29, 1994, the Employer acquired all of the outstanding  shares
         of stock of Southeastern Hospital Supply Corporation  ("Southeastern").
         Employees of  Southeastern  became  eligible to participate in the Plan
         during May 1994.

         On January 10,  1995,  the  Employer  acquired  all of the  outstanding
         shares of stock of Biddle & Crowther  ("B&C").  Employees of B&C became
         eligible to participate  in the Plan during January 1995.  Rollovers to
         the Plan from B&C's 401(k) Plan were made in December  1995. As of June
         21, 1996, the aggregate  amount of rollovers from B&C's defined benefit
         plan has not been determined.

         On August 2, 1995,  the Employer  acquired  Colonial  Healthcare Supply
         Co. ("Colonial").  Employees of Colonial became eligible to participate
         in the Plan on January 1, 1996.   Rollovers to the Plan from Colonial's
         401(k)   plan   aggregating   approximately    $10,890,000,   including
         participant loans of $427,000, were made during April 1996.


6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         During February 1996,  the GIC  with  Life of  Virginia  in the  Bergen
         Brunswig Fixed Fund was surrendered at contract value.

         On March 31, 1996,  remaining  account  balances in the Bergen Brunswig
         Fixed  Fund  were   transferred   into  the  Merrill  Lynch  Retirement
         Preservation Trust.
