Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                              

1.   Accounting Policies

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (which are comprised only
of normal recurring accruals and the use of estimates) necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position of
Owens & Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1994 and the results
of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994
and 1993 and cash flows for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.


2.   Interim Results of Operations 

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.   Interim Gross Margin Reporting 

In general, the Company uses estimated gross profit rates to determine
the cost of sales during interim periods.  To improve the accuracy
of its estimated gross margins for interim reporting purposes, the Company
takes physical inventories at selected
distribution centers and reported results of operations for the quarter
reflect the results of such inventories, if materially different.
Management will continue a program of interim physical
inventories at selected distribution centers to the extent it deems 
appropriate to ensure the accuracy of interim reporting to minimize year-end
adjustments.


4.   Business Combination

On May 10, 1994, the Company exchanged $40.2 million in cash and 1.15 million
shares of 4.5%, $100 par value, Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock for all
the capital stock of Stuart Medical,
Inc. (Stuart), a distributor of medical/surgical supplies.  The Series B
Cumulative Preferred Stock is convertible into approximately 7.0 million
shares of common stock.  The transaction was  
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operating results
of Stuart have been included in the Company's consolidated operating
results since May 1, 1994.  The purchase price exceeded the
net assets acquired by approximately $156 million which is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

         
The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the
consolidated results of operations as if Stuart had been combined
as of the beginning of each of the periods presented, after including the
impact of certain adjustments, such as increased interest
expense on acquisition debt, amortization of the excess of
purchase price over net assets acquired, reversal of non-recurring
restructuring expenses ($18.6 million pre-tax) and related
income tax effects.

Net sales             $  1,295,000          $    1,100,000

Net income per
  common share      $         0.34        $           0.27

</TABLE>

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would
have occurred if the combination had been in effect for 
the entire period presented.  In addition, they are not intended to be 
a projection of future results.     


5.   Long-Term Debt

Simultaneous with the Stuart combination, the Company entered into a $350
million Senior Credit Agreement with interest based on, at the Company's
discretion, the London Interbank
Borrowing Offering Rate (LIBOR) or the Prime Rate.  The Credit Agreement
expires in April 1999.  The proceeds were used to fund the $40.2 million
exchanged in the combination, repay certain of the long-
term debt of Stuart and the Company and fund the working capital
requirements associated with the accounts receivable of Stuart.  
Stuart sold its accounts receivable at a discount to a related
funding company, thus no receivables were acquired by the Company
in the combination.

                       
 
6.   Non-recurring Restructuring Expenses

During the second quarter of 1994 non-recurring restructuring expenses 
were incurred under a formal restructuring plan adopted in connection
with the Company's combination with Stuart and its
related decision to contract out the management and operation
of its mainframe computer system.

The $18.6 million (pre-tax) of non-recurring expenses are comprised
primarily of severance costs associated with termination of employees
(approximately $5.2 million), costs of consolidating 
distribution facilities and offices (approximately $4.0 million) 
and costs of terminating leases associated with the contracting out
of the Company's mainframe computer operations (approximately $6.4
million).  The restructuring expenses also include approximately
$3.0 million of non-cash asset write-downs.  The Company anticipates
incurring additional restructuring expenses associated with this plan
over the remainder of 1994,
with total restructuring expenses estimated to be $35 million.  

7.     Stock Split

All share and per share information includes the effect of the 3 for 2 
stock split distributed June 8, 1994 to shareholders of record
on May 24, 1994.

Net Sales

During the second quarter net sales increased 70.5% (20% same store) to
$581.8 million in 1994 from $341.2 million in 1993.  For the year sales
increased 47.6% (20% same store) compared to the first six  
months of 1993.  The sales increase is due primarily to the
combination with Stuart Medical, Inc. (Stuart), the Company's
continued market share improvement from previously announced
new supply agreements with Voluntary Hospitals of America, Inc. 
(VHA) and Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation (Columbia/HCA), 
account penetration and product line expansion.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales declined during the second 
quarter to 9.8% in 1994 from 10.4% in 1993.  Gross margin is also
down for the first six months from 10.5% in 1993 to 9.9% in
1994.  This anticipated decline is due primarily to the above mentioned
new national supply contracts.  Although the gross margin
of these contracts reduces the Company's overall gross margin 
as a percentage of net sales, the reduction is being offset by the
increased sales, producing an increase in gross margin dollars
for the first six months of 1994 of approximately 38.5%. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

In conjunction with the realization of synergies from the Stuart
combination and the benefits realized from the Company's emphasis on
training and technology development, the Company has been
able to absorb the increased sales volume without corresponding 
increases in administrative expenses.  These synergies and benefits
have decreased selling, general and administrative expenses as a 
percentage of sales from 7.6% for the second quarter of 1993 and 
7.7% for the first six months of 1993 to 7.0% for the second
quarter of 1994 and 7.1% for the first six months of 1994, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $1.5 million during
the second quarter of 1994 as compared to the second quarter of
1993 and $2.1 million for the first six months in 1994
compared to the same period in 1993.  The increase is due primarily
to the additional assets acquired in the combination with Stuart, the 
approximately 
$156 million excess of purchase price over net assets acquired
resulting from the combination and the Company's continued investment
in new and improved technology.


                          

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased from $.7 million
during the second quarter of 1993 to $2.2 million during the same
period in 1994.  For the first six months of 1994 interest
expense, net of interest income, increased $1.7 million compared
to the same period in 1993.  The increase is due to increased
borrowings (approximately $197) to finance the combination
with Stuart and the unfavorable trend in interest rates during
the first half of 1994.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The effective tax rate varied during the second quarter as a percentage of
income before income taxes from 40.0% tax expense in 1993 to
tax benefit of 36.5% in 1994.  The rate has also varied
similarly year to date.  The rate variance is due to the amortization
of the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired in
the Stuart combination, which is not tax deductible.

Non-recurring Restructuring Expenses

During the second quarter of 1994 the Company incurred approximately
$19 million of non-recurring restructuring expenses.  These non-
recurring restructuring expenses as discussed in the Company's
1994 proxy statement relate to its combination
with Stuart.  The anticipated amounts discussed in the proxy
statement have increased due to the Company's recent decision to
contract out the operation 
of its mainframe computer system due to the combination.
    As discussed in note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, 
the expenses relate to severance costs associated with the
termination of employees, consolidation of distribution facilities
and offices, termination of leases related to the Company's current
mainframe computer system and write-down of assets.  Restructuring
expenses of approximately $16 million will be recorded as
incurred throughout the remainder of the year.

Net Income (Loss)

During the second quarter and the first six months of 1994, the Company
incurred a net loss due to the anticipated restructuring expenses
previously mentioned.  Without these non-recurring expenses and
the related tax benefit the Company earned approximately $6.0 million 
or $.17 per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 1994
and $10.8 million or $.32 per common share for the
six months ended June 30, 1994, increases of 41.7%  and 33.5%,
respectively, over the same periods in 1993.  The increase in net
income prior to restructuring expenses is due primarily to the
increased sales and the reduction in operating expenses as a 
percent of net sales.  

          

Financial Condition

The Company uses several measurements for internal purposes of managing
assets, liquidity and capital resources.  Due to the Stuart 
combination the majority of measurements have changed due to
different customer bases and different management objectives.  In the
transition process the Company will continue its emphasis on
management of assets, liquidity and capital resources as a key
ingredient to making the combination successful.  The following 
is a summary of a few of the measurements the Company uses.
