INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Plan Committee of
  Cardinal Health, Inc.
  Profit Sharing and Retirement
  Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Cardinal Health, Inc. Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings
Plan (formerly the Cardinal Distribution, Inc. Profit Sharing and Retirement
Savings Plan) as of March 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended March 31, 1994.
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 benefits of the Cardinal Health, Inc.
Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan as of March 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended March 31,
1994 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 benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the
individual funds, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The supplemental schedules listed in the Table of Contents 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





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   5
Depatment of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental
information and the supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Such supplemental information by fund and 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.

CARDINAL HEALTH, INC.
PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT
SAVINGS PLAN


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993


1.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
       accrual basis.  Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the
       trade date.  Interest income is recorded as earned and dividend income
       is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

       The statements of net assets available for benefits include
       investments valued as follows:  cash equivalents - at cost which
       approximates market; and mutual funds and equity securities - at quoted
       market prices on the last business day of the plan year.

2.     DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

       Substantially all employees of Cardinal Health, Inc. (formerly
       Cardinal Distribution, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred
       to as the employer, Plan sponsor or Company) not covered by a collective
       bargaining agreement and who have completed 1,000 or more hours of
       credited service are eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Plan was
       adopted on March 25, 1987, and replaced a variety of non-collectively
       bargained retirement plans the Company previously maintained at the
       subsidiary level.  Contributions transferred from or receivable from
       previous qualified plans are comprised of transfer contributions of new
       employees from other previously unrelated qualified plans.

       Prior to October 1, 1993, under the Plan, employees were permitted to
       make "Participant Elected Contributions" to their plan account by way of
       authorized payroll deductions under Section 401(k) of the Internal
       Revenue Code of 1986 up to the lesser of 10% of their credited
       compensation or the maximum amount allowable under Internal Revenue
       Service guidelines in any calendar year.  Participant Elected
       Contributions, up to 3% of credited compensation, were matched by the
       Company ("Company Matching Contributions") in an amount equal to 50% of
       the Participant Elected Contributions.  Effective October 1, 1993, the
       Plan was amended to allow employees to authorize payroll deductions up
       to the lesser of 15% of their credited compensation or the maximum
       allowed under the IRS guidelines.  In addition, Company Matching
       Contributions are now 75% of the Participant Elected Contributions up to
       3% of credited compensation.  The Company also makes profit sharing
       contributions ("Profit Sharing Contributions") to the Plan on behalf of
       each eligible employee who completes at least 1,000 hours of service and
       was an eligible employee on the last day of the plan year.  The
       Company's Profit Sharing Contributions each plan year consist of:  (a)
       automatic contributions equal to 3% of total credited compensation for
       all eligible participants; and (b) additional contributions, if any,
       determined at the sole discretion of the Company, which are allocated to
       participants based first upon their credited compensation in excess of
       the Social Security taxable wage base (up to 6.06% of such excess) and
       next, pro rata, based upon total credited compensation.  The investment
       of such contributions is generally directed by the employee into one or
       more of seven investment mutual funds or the Company's common stock fund
       established under the Plan.





                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   10
       All participants in the Plan who were employed by the Company on its
       commencement date are fully vested in all plan benefits which accrue to
       their account.  Subsequently hired participants have a nonforfeitable
       right to accrued benefits pertaining to Participant Elected
       Contributions and transfer contributions at all times, and a     
       nonforfeitable right to accrued benefits from Company Matching
       Contributions and Profit Sharing Contributions in the event of
       retirement or other termination of employment:  (a) on or after the      
       participant's 65th birthday; (b) on account of permanent disability; (c)
       by reason of death; or (d) after completion of 5 years of service. A
       newly hired participant whose employment terminates under other
       circumstances will have a nonforfeitable right to a portion of the
       accrued benefits from Company Matching Contributions and Profit Sharing
       Contributions determined under a 5-year schedule, based on years of
       service.  All other unvested accrued benefits will be forfeited and used
       to reduce Company contributions.  All administrative expenses are paid
       by the Plan sponsor.

       As of March 31, 1994 and 1993, benefits payable to terminated
       employees were $68,587 and $379,528, respectively.  These amounts are
       included on line 31g of the Plan's Form 5500.

       Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
       reserves the right to terminate the Plan.  In this event, the accounts
       of all participants and beneficiaries would become fully vested and all
       benefits nonforfeitable.

       In June 1987, the Plan was approved as a qualified defined
       contribution plan by the Internal Revenue Service.  The Plan has been
       amended since receiving the determination letter.  However, the Plan
       administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being
       operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal
       Revenue Code.  Therefore, the administrator believes that the Plan was
       qualified and was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.

       For further information, participants should refer to the Summary Plan
       Description provided by the Plan sponsor.
