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 as of
June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended June 30, 1996. 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 June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended June 30, 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.




<PAGE>   5


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
Department 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 audits 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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 preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
      during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.

      The statements of net assets available for benefits include investments in
      mutual funds, money market funds, stable value funds and equity securities
      valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the plan year.

2.    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

      Substantially all employees of Cardinal Health, 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.

      Effective October 1, 1993, the Plan allows 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 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 the following investment options: a
      money market fund, a stable value fund, one of five 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, excluding loan fees
      which are paid by the borrowing participant.

      Effective January 1, 1995, participants may borrow from their fund
      accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of
      $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance. Loan transactions
      are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the
      Participant Notes fund. Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up to 15 years
      for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the
      remaining vested balance in the participant's account and bear interest at
      a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined monthly by
      the Plan administrator. Interest rates ranged from 6 percent to 13 percent
      at June 30, 1995 and 9.25 percent to 10 percent at June 30, 1996.
      Principal and interest is paid ratably through regular payroll deductions.

      As of June 30, 1996 and 1995, benefits payable to terminated employees
      were $177,702 and $54,774, 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 September 1994, 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.
