                             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.  The consolidated
          financial statements have been prepared to give retroactive effect to
          the pooling-of-interests business combination with Whitmire
          Distribution Corporation ("Whitmire") on February 7, 1994 (see Note
          3).  The term "Cardinal," as used herein, refers to Cardinal Health,
          Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the Whitmire Merger.

          The 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 considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
          included.

          These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
          with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
          of the Company contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
          for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994.

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 and warrants from the date of grant computed using
          the treasury stock method.

          The Company paid a 25% stock dividend on June 30, 1994, to effect a
          five-for-four split of the Company's Common Shares.  All share and
          per share amounts included in the consolidated financial statements
          have been adjusted to reflect this stock split.

Note 3.   On January 27, 1994, shareholders of Cardinal and Whitmire approved
          and adopted the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October
          11, 1993 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), pursuant to which Cardinal
          Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal, was merged with
          and into Whitmire effective February 7, 1994.  In the merger, which
          was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests business combination,
          holders of outstanding Whitmire common stock received an aggregate of
          approximately 6,802,000 Class A Common Shares and approximately
          1,861,000 Class B common shares, both without par value, in exchange
          for all of the previously outstanding common stock of Whitmire.  In
          addition, Whitmire's outstanding stock options were converted into
          options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1,721,000
          additional Class A Common Shares pursuant to the terms of such
          options and the Reorganization Agreement.

 Note 4.  In the three-month period ended March 31, 1994, the Company recorded 
          a nonrecurring charge to reflect the estimated Whitmire merger costs 
          of approximately $35.9 million ($28.2 million of net tax).  The 
          merger costs included (a) fees and other transaction costs related 
          to the combination, and (b) other nonrecurring costs expected to be 
          incurred in connection with the integration of Cardinal's and 
          Whitmire's business operations.  The estimated costs included 
          approximately $7 million for investment banking, legal, accounting, 
          and other related transactions fees associated with the combination; 
          $13 million for corporate restructuring and distribution 
          rationalization; $6 million for integration of information systems;
          and $2 million for restructuring Whitmire's revolving credit
          agreement.  Of these costs, approximately $7 million pertained to the
          revaluation of certain operating assets and $2 million pertained to
          employee relocation, retraining and termination costs.  At March 31,
          1995, the Company had incurred actual costs aggregating approximately
          $24.3 million, including approximately $12.6 million incurred in the
          nine months ended March 31, 1995.  The Company's current estimates of
          the merger costs ultimately to be incurred are not materially
          different than the amounts originally recorded.

          The net earnings and earnings per Common Share (on both a
          primary and fully diluted basis), adjusted on a pro forma basis to
          reflect the elimination of the merger costs discussed above and the
          redemption of Whitmire's preferred stock pursuant to the terms of the
          Reorganization Agreement (see Note 3), would have been $19,228,000 and
          $0.49, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
          $46,397,000 and $1.18, respectively, for the nine months ended March
          31, 1994.  Such redemption is assumed to have been funded from the
          liquidation of investments in tax-exempt marketable securities.

Note 5.   On July 1, 1994, the Company purchased all of the common stock of
          Humiston-Keeling, Inc., a Calumet City, Illinois-based wholesale drug
          distributor, in a transaction accounted for by the purchase method.
          Had the purchase occurred at the beginning of Fiscal 1994, operating
          results on a pro forma basis would not have been significantly
          different.

Note 6.   On July 18, 1994, the Company issued Class A Common Shares 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, prior periods have not been restated for
          the Behrens combination.

Note 7.   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.

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

         Management's discussion and analysis presented below has been prepared
to give retroactive effect to the pooling-of-interests business combination
with Whitmire on February 7, 1994 (see Note 3 of "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements"). The discussion and analysis presented below is
concerned with material changes in financial condition and results of
operations for the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 1995,
and June 30, 1994, and for the consolidated statements of earnings for the
three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994.  Unless
indicated to the contrary for purposes of this discussion, all references to
"1995" and "1994" shall mean the Company's fiscal years ending June 30, 1995
and June 30, 1994, respectively.

         NET SALES.  Net sales increased 32% for the third quarter of 1995, and
38% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1995, compared to the same
periods last year.  The increases in the third quarter and nine-month periods
were due to internal business growth of 23% and 28%, respectively, and sales
resulting from the acquisitions of Humiston-Keeling, Inc. (see Note 5 of "Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements") and Behrens Inc. (see Note 6 of "Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements"). The internal business growth resulted
primarily from increased sales to existing customers and the addition of new
customers, reflective of the Company's national distribution capability.

         GROSS MARGIN.  As a percentage of net sales, gross margin declined to
6.37% in the third quarter of 1995 from 6.51% in the third quarter of 1994.
The gross margin percentage for the nine-month period declined to 5.91% versus
6.18% last year.  The decreases in the gross margin percentage in both the
third quarter and nine-month period were primarily due to lower selling margin
rates, reflecting a more competitive market and a shift in the customer base
from one comprised predominantly of retail independent pharmacies to one that
is a more balanced mix of retail independent, retail chain, and
hospital/managed care pharmacies.  This shift in customer base has allowed the
Company to offer lower selling margins through a lower cost of distribution and
better asset management.  The decrease in the gross margin percentage resulting
from this shift in customer base was partially offset by increased sales of
higher margin generic pharmaceuticals and the continued development of 
marketing programs with manufacturers.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses improved as a percentage of net sales to 3.85% in the
third quarter and 3.84% for the nine-month period of 1995 versus 4.07% and
4.05%, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.  The improvements
are due primarily to economies associated with the Company's significant sales
growth, particularly with major customers where support costs are generally
lower, and to productivity improvements, including the consolidation of
distribution centers and the ongoing modernization of existing facilities.

         UNUSUAL ITEM.  In the three-month period ended March 31, 1994, the
Company recorded a nonrecurring charge to reflect the estimated Whitmire merger
costs of approximately $35.9 million ($28.2 million net of tax).  (See Note 4
of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements").

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  Working capital increased to $585.7
million at March 31, 1995 from $471.1 million at June 30, 1994, and included
increased investments in merchandise inventories and trade receivables of
$218.0 million and $182.5 million, respectively, offset primarily by increases
in accounts payable and notes payable - banks of $159.5 million and $92.0
million, respectively, and a decrease in cash and equivalents and marketable
securities of $14.2 million. The increases in merchandise inventories, accounts
payable and notes payable - banks and the decrease in cash and equivalents and
marketable securities reflect the timing of seasonal purchases and related
payments and the acquisitions of Humiston-Keeling and Behrens. The increase in
trade receivables was due primarily to internal business growth (see "Net
Sales" above) and the acquisitions of Humiston-Keeling and Behrens (see Notes 5
and 6 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements").

         In fiscal 1993, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $13.7
million, primarily related to the closing of certain non-core operations and
rationalization, standardization and improvement of selected distribution
operations, information systems and support functions.  At March 31, 1995,
approximately $1.9 million relating to this charge remains unexpended.  The
Company anticipates that this remaining amount will be expended by June 30,
1995.  The Company's current estimate of the restructuring charges ultimately
to be incurred is not materially different than the amount originally recorded.

         Shareholders' equity increased to $525.3 million at March 31, 1995
from $368.5 million at June 30, 1994 due primarily to (a) the issuance of
approximately 1,867,000 of the Company's Common Shares pursuant to a public
offering (see Note 7 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"), (b) net
earnings of approximately $62.8 million for the nine months ended March 31,
1995, (c) the recording of tax benefits related to the exercise of stock
options of approximately $16.4 million, and (d) the addition of Behrens
shareholders' equity of approximately $9.8 million at July 18, 1994 (the date
of the pooling-of-interests business combination) (see Note 6 of "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements"), offset primarily by dividends paid by the
Company of approximately $3.6 million.

         The Company has line-of-credit arrangements with various bank sources
aggregating $310 million, of which $100 million is represented by committed
line-of-credit arrangements.  The amount outstanding under such arrangements as
of March 31, 1995 was $117.0 million.

         On May 6, 1993, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a Registration Statement for the public offering, from time-to-time,
of its debt securities (the "Existing Debt Securities") issuable in one or more
series in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million.  On
February 23, 1994, the Company sold $100 million of 6.5% Notes due 2004, the
net proceeds of which were used for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of bank lines of credit incurred as part of the Whitmire Merger.  At
March 31, 1995, $50 million of the Existing Debt Securities remain issuable.

         On January 10, 1995, the Company filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a Registration Statement for the public offering, from
time-to-time, of an additional $150 million of its debt securities (the "New
Debt Securities").  As of April 28, 1995, the Registration Statement for the
public offering of the New Debt Securities had not yet been declared effective
by 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, including the additional
liquidity and capital requirements associated with recent business combinations
(See Notes 3, 5 and 6 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements").

                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

         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").  Subsequent to the
consolidation, a new consolidated complaint ("amended complaint") was filed
which included allegations that the wholesaler defendants, including Cardinal
and Whitmire, conspired with manufacturers to inflate prices by using a
chargeback pricing system.  Cardinal and Whitmire have filed an answer denying
the allegations in the amended complaint.  In addition to the federal court
case described above, Whitmire has been named as a defendant in a series of
state court cases alleging similar claims under various state laws regarding
the sale of Brand Name Prescription Drugs.

         Effective October 26, 1994, the Company entered into a Judgment
Sharing Agreement in the Brand Name Prescription Drug Litigation with other
wholesaler and pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants.  Under the Judgment
Sharing Agreement: (a) the manufacturer defendants agreed to reimburse the
wholesaler defendants for litigation costs incurred, up to an aggregate of $9
million; and (b) if a judgment is entered into against both manufacturers and
wholesalers, the total exposure for joint and several liability of the Company
is limited to the lesser of 1% of such judgment or one million dollars.  In
addition, the Company has released any claims which it might have had against
the manufacturers for the claims presented by the plaintiffs in the Brand Name
Prescription Drug Litigation.  The Judgment Sharing Agreement covers the
federal court litigation as well as the cases which have been filed in various
state courts.  On December 15, 1994, the plaintiffs filed a motion to declare
the Judgment Sharing Agreement unenforceable.  On April 10, 1995, the court
denied that motion and ruled that the Judgment Sharing Agreement is valid and
enforceable.  The plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the court's
April 10, 1995 ruling, and the court denied that motion and reaffirmed its
earlier decision on April 24, 1995.

         The Company believes that both the federal and state court 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.
