                             CARDINAL HEALTH, INC.
                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

Note 1.   The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
          accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries and all significant
          intercompany amounts have been eliminated.  These 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 generally accepted accounting principles for
          interim reporting.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
          necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  All such
          adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  Certain
          reclassifications have been made to the comparative period's amounts
          to conform with the classifications at September 30, 1995.

          The consolidated financial statements included herein should be read
          in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
          related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
          for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.

Note 2.   Earnings per Common Share are based on the weighted average number of
          Common Shares outstanding during each period and the dilutive effect
          of stock options from the date of grant computed using the treasury
          stock method.

Note 3.   During the three months ended September 30, 1995, the Company
          incurred merger costs related to the Whitmire Distribution
          Corporation ("Whitmire") merger of approximately $3.0 million and as
          of September 30, 1995 has incurred aggregate costs of approximately
          $29.9 million.  The estimated remaining merger costs to be incurred
          totaled $6.0 million at September 30, 1995, and the Company's current
          estimates of the merger costs ultimately to be incurred are not
          materially different than the amounts originally recorded.  The
          Company anticipates that the remainder of these costs will be
          expended during fiscal 1996.

Note 4.   On July 1, 1994, the Company purchased all of the common stock of
          Humiston-Keeling, Inc., a Calumet City, Illinois-based wholesale drug
          distributor for cash of $33,334,000, in a transaction accounted for
          by the purchase method.

Note 5.   On July 18, 1994, the Company issued approximately 944,000 Common
          Shares in a merger transaction in exchange for all of the common
          shares of Behrens Inc., a Waco, Texas-based wholesale drug
          distributor, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling-of-interests
          business combination.  The impact of the Behrens combination, on both
          an historical and pro forma basis, is not significant.  Accordingly,
          the prior period has not been restated for the Behrens combination.

Note 6.   On September 26, 1994, 8,050,000 of the Company's Common Shares were
          sold pursuant to a public offering.  Approximately 1,867,000 Common
          Shares (the "New Shares") were sold by the Company, and approximately
          6,183,000 Common Shares (the "Existing Shares") were sold by certain
          shareholders of the Company.  Net proceeds received by the Company of
          approximately $70 million from the sale of the New Shares were used
          to finance working capital growth and for other general corporate
          purposes.  The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the
          sale of the Existing Shares.

Note 7.   On August 26, 1995, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement
          with Medicine Shoppe International, Inc. ("Medicine Shoppe"), a
          franchisor of independent retail pharmacies.  Under the terms of the
          transaction, shareholders of Medicine Shoppe will receive Cardinal
          Common Shares in exchange for common shares of Medicine Shoppe.  The
          Company expects to issue between 6.0 million and 6.8 million Common
          Shares in the transaction, depending, in part, upon the average
          closing price of Cardinal Common Shares over a specified period.
          Under certain circumstances, the Company could issue up to 
          approximately 7.2 million Common Shares in the transaction.  The
          transaction is subject to certain conditions including approval by
          Medicine Shoppe shareholders and is expected to be accounted for as a
          pooling-of-interests.  On October 10, 1995 the Company filed a
          Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission to register the Common Shares to be issued to Medicine
          Shoppe shareholders upon consummation of the merger.  On October 11,
          1995, the Registration Statement was declared effective and a vote on
          the transaction by Medicine Shoppe shareholders is scheduled for
          November 13, 1995.

                ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Management's discussion and analysis is presented below with regard to
material changes in financial condition and results of operations for the
Company's consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 1995 and June 30,
1995, and for the consolidated statements of earnings for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994.

         NET SALES.  Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 increased
12% compared to the same period last year.  The increase was entirely due to 
internal business growth resulting from increased sales to existing customers
as well as the addition of new customers and price increases.  The sales growth
rate continues to be above industry levels but is lower than reported in prior
periods because focus has been placed on achieving a better balance between
volume growth and margin improvement (see "Gross Margin" below).

         GROSS MARGIN.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin increased to
5.82% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from 5.68% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.  The increase in the gross margin percentage was primarily due to
growth in the Company's higher margin specialty businesses and expanded
marketing programs with existing customers and manufacturers.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses improved as a percentage of net sales to 3.93% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 versus 3.97% in the prior year.  The improvement
is primarily due to economies associated with the Company's sales growth,
particularly with major customers where support costs are generally lower, and
to consolidating distribution and administrative functions.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE.  Net working capital increased to
$616.9 million at September 30, 1995 from $601.3 million at June 30, 1995, and
included increased investments in trade receivables and merchandise inventories
of $52.0 million and $48.9 million, respectively, offset by an increase in
notes payable, banks of $16.8 million and accounts payable of $71.9 million.
The increase in trade receivables was due primarily to internal business growth
(see "Net Sales" above).  The increases in merchandise inventories, notes
payable, banks and accounts payable reflect the timing of seasonal purchases
and related payments.

         Property and equipment, at cost increased by $9.4 million from June
30, 1995.  The property acquired included increased investment in management
information systems, customer support systems, and automation of
distribution facilities.

         During the three months ended September 30, 1995, the Company incurred
merger costs related to the Whitmire merger of approximately $3.0 million (see
Note 3 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional
information).

         Shareholders' equity increased to $568.7 million at September 30, 1995
from $548.2 million at June 30, 1995 due primarily to net earnings of
approximately $20.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, less dividends
paid by the Company of approximately $1.3 million.

         The Company has line-of-credit arrangements with various bank sources
aggregating $325 million, of which $100 million is represented by committed
line-of-credit arrangements and the balance is uncommitted.  The amount
outstanding under such arrangements was $19.8 million and $3.0 million at
September 30, 1995 and June 30, 1995, respectively.

        On August 26, 1995, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement 
with Medicine Shoppe International, Inc. (see Note 7 of "Notes to  Consolidated
Financial Statements" for additional information). If this transaction is
consummated, the Company expects to issue between 6.0 and 6.8 million Cardinal
Common Shares.

         At September 30, 1995, the Company has the capacity to offer to the
public debt securities of up to $200 million pursuant to Shelf Registrations
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The Company believes that it has adequate resources at its disposal to
meet currently anticipated capital expenditures, routine business growth and
expansion, and current and projected debt service.

                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1:  Legal Proceedings

         As described in Item 3 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, in November 1993, Cardinal and Whitmire
were each named as defendants in a series of purported class action antitrust
lawsuits which were later consolidated and transferred by the Judicial Panel
for Multi-District Litigation to the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois (the "Brand Name Prescription Drug Litigation").
No material developments occurred in connection with the Brand Name
Prescription Drug Litigation during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The 
Company believes that both Federal and state allegations against Cardinal and 
Whitmire are without merit, and it intends to contest such allegations
vigorously.   The Company does not believe that the outcome of these lawsuits 
will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or 
results of operations.

         The Company also becomes involved from time to time in ordinary
routine litigation incidental to its business, none of which is expected to
have any material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
