              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared from the books and records of Guest Supply, Inc. and subsidiaries
(the Company) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  It is suggested that the consolidated condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 1995 included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.  Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year.

Note 2:  Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.  When stock
options and warrants are dilutive, they are included as share equivalents
using the treasury stock method.  Where the effect of the assumed exercise
on net income would be anti-dilutive, primary and fully diluted earnings
per common share are stated the same. 

On September 18, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
three-for-two stock split to be paid in the form of a 50% stock dividend. 
The additional 2,048,739 shares of common stock were issued on October 24,
1995 to the shareholders of record on October 3, 1995.  Distribution
offractional shares was paid in cash based on the closing price on the
record date.  The par value ofthe new shares issued totaled $205,000 which
was transferred from additional paid-in-capital tocommon stock.

Note 3:  Revolving Credit Facility

On October 31, 1995, the Company entered into a credit facility with two
banks for a seven-year $10,500,000 term loan and a two-year $22,000,000
revolving credit facility.  The term loan is payable in equal monthly
installments of $125,000 which will commence in December, 1995 and
bearsinterest at a rate equal to 7.0% per annum.  The revolving credit
loans under the credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus
1.0% the bank's prime rate or a fixed rate, as selected by the Company. 
The proceeds under this credit facility were used to repay the outstanding
balance under the existing revolving credit facility and for future working
capital needs.  At the time of this agreement, the Company had existing
term loans totaling $7,500,000 which remained outstanding. These loans,
which are payable in equal monthly installments, mature in February, 1999.

On April 30, 1996, the banks amended its existing credit facility to allow
for additional availability of $3,500,000 through July 31, 1996 and to
modify its financial covenants.

All of the Company's loans with the banks are secured by substantially all
of its assets and are subject to certain financial covenants.

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


Nine months ended June 30, 1996 vs. Nine months ended June 30, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $15,840,000 or
14.3% from $111,018,000 to $126,858,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
1995.  Revenues generated from our hotel customers increased $13,810,000 or
14.4% to $109,948,000.  This increase is primarily due to selling
additional products to existing customers and the addition of new
customers.  During this period, increased room demand also contributed to
the Company's growth.  

Sales to consumer product companies and retailers were $16,910,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $14,880,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1995.  The increase of $2,030,000 or 13.6% was due to
increased sales to existing customers.

Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $26,882,000 or
21.2% of sales compared to $26,116,000 or 23.5% of sales for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in gross profit as a percentage
of sales was due primarily to a sudden and temporary decline in our
secondquarter sales to consumer product companies.  The timing and
temporary nature of this unanticipated decrease in sales volume limited the
Company's ability to lower its operating costs or to seek replacement
business.  The continued sales growth of textiles, which have a lower gross
margin thanmost of the company's other products, also reduced the overall
gross margin rate.

Interest expense was $1,298,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996
compared to $765,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase
in interest of $533,000 can be attributed to an increase in borrowings to
fund our capital expansion program.  Interest costs incurred on borrowings
during the construction and installation period are capitalized to the cost
of the project.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22,903,000 or 18.1% of
sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $21,028,000 or
18.9% of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase of
$1,875,000 or 8.9% was due primarily to increased payroll and payroll
related costs, warehousing and delivery costs associated with the Company's
sales growth. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs as
a percentage of sales was the result of increased sales volume combined
with the effects of the Company's cost containment program.

Income tax expense was $1,121,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996
compared with $1,456,000 for the prior period.  This decrease was primarily
the result of a decrease in pretax income of $1,642,000 as compared to
prior year for the nine months ended June 30, 1996.  The income tax rate
for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 was 41.8% and
33.7% respectively.  This increase is the result of a reduction in the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards available for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996.

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $3,801,000 or
8.6% from $44,062,000 to $47,863,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995.  Revenues generated from our hotel customers increased $2,600,000 or
6.7% to $41,245,000.  This increase is primarily due to selling additional
products to existing customers and the addition of new customers.  

Sales to consumer product companies and retailers increased $1,201,000 or
22.2% to $6,618,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to
$5,417,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $10,752,000 or
22.5% of sales compared to $10,313,000 or 23.4% of sales for the three
months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in gross profit as a percentage
of sales was due primarily to inefficiencies experienced at the Company's
manufacturing facility.  The addition of textiles to the Company's product
line also contributed to the decrease as a result of a lower gross profit
associated with these products when compared with the Company's other
products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly by .3% to
$7,920,000 or 16.5% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996
compared to $7,896,000 or 17.9% of sales for the three months ended June
30, 1995.  

Interest expense was $425,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
compared to $327,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase in interest of $98,000 can be primarily attributed to an increase
in borrowings to fund our capital expansion program.  Interest costs
incurred on borrowings during the construction and installation period are
capitalized to the cost of the project.

During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded an income
tax expense of $967,000 as compared to income tax expense of $731,000 in
the prior year quarter.  This difference is due to an increase in pretax
income incurred in the three months ended June 30, 1996 of $317,000.  The
income tax rate for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 was
40.2% and 35.0% respectively.  This increase is the result of a reduction
in the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards available for the
three months ended June 30, 1996.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources at June 30, 1996
- ------------------------------------------------

At June 30, 1996, the Company had $35,266,000 of working capital compared
to $27,475,000 at September 30, 1995.  The increase of $7,791,000 is
primarily the result of an increase in long term borrowings for inventory
and to reduce trade payables to agreed upon payment terms.

On October 31, 1995, the Company entered into a credit facility with two
banks for a seven-year $10,500,000 term loan and a two-year $22,000,000
revolving credit facility.  The term loan is payable in equal monthly
installments of $125,000 which commenced in December, 1995 and bears
interest at a rate equal to 7.0% per annum.  The revolving credit loans
under the credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0%
the bank's prime rate or a fixed rate, as selected by the Company.  The
proceeds under this credit facility were used to repay the outstanding
balance under the existing revolving credit facility and for future working
capital needs.  At the time of this agreement, the Company had existing
term loans totaling $7,500,000 which remained outstanding.  The loans,
which are payable in equal monthly installments, mature in February, 1999.

On April 30, 1996, the banks amended its existing credit facility to allow
for additional availability of $3,500,000 through July 31, 1996 and to
modify its financial covenant.

All of the Company's loans with the banks are secured by substantially all
of its assets and are subject to certain financial covenants.

The Company believes that the amount available under its revolving credit
facility together with the cash flow from operations will be sufficient to
meet the Company's short-term working capital requirements and identifiable
long-term capital needs.  The Company also believes that, if necessary,
additional financing will be available to it on commercially reasonable
terms.

During 1995, the cost of pulp, cotton, tallow and plastic resins increased. 
This resulted in the Company experiencing cost increases in cartons,
bottles, textiles, paper and soap base.  While most of these cost increases
were passed through to the Company's customers, these cost increases had a
slight impact on the financial results of the Company.
