        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 September 30, 1994 and the results of operations for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 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 and to minimize
year-end adjustments.

4.     Long-Term Debt

During the third quarter of 1994 the Company entered into
interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage interest rate
risk of the Company's $350,000,000 Senior Credit Agreement. 
Under the swap agreements the Company pays the counterparties
a fixed interest rate, ranging from 6.35% - 6.71%, and the
counterparties pay the Company interest at a variable rate
based on the 3 - month London Interbank Borrowing Offering Rate
(LIBOR).  The total notional amount of the interest rate swaps
was $55,000,000 at September 30, 1994 and the term of the
agreements range from 2 - 3 years.  Under the interest rate cap
agreements the Company is compensated by the counterparties if
the 3 -month LIBOR rate exceeds 6.5%.  The notional amounts of
the cap agreements total $20,000,000 and the term of these
agreements is 2 years.  The Company is exposed to certain
losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to
these agreements, however the Company's exposure is not
significant and nonperformance is not anticipated.

  
5.   Nonrecurring Restructuring Expenses

During the second and third quarters of 1994 nonrecurring
restructuring expenses were incurred under a formal
restructuring plan adopted in connection with the Company's
combination with Stuart Medical, Inc. and the Company's related
decision to contract out the management and operation of its
mainframe computer system.

The $27.7 million (pre-tax) of nonrecurring expenses are
comprised primarily of severance costs associated with
termination of employees (approximately $7.1 million), costs
of consolidating distribution facilities and offices and
increasing efficiencies within the Company (approximately $7.3
million) and costs of terminating leases and other incremental
costs associated with the contracting out of the Company's
mainframe computer operations (approximately $10.3 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, with total restructuring expenses estimated to be
$35 million.  
   
6.   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 $151 million which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.





Item 2.
           Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
         Management's Discussion and Analysis of
      Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Net Sales

During the third quarter net sales increased 91.5% to $693.0 million in 1994
from $362.0 million in 1993.  For the year sales increased 63.1% compared to 
the first nine 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.  Assuming the Company's combination with Stuart had occurred
on January 1, 1993, net sales would have shown an increase of 16% for the 
quarter and the nine months.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales declined during the third quarter
to 9.6% in 1994 from 10.5% in 1993.  Gross margin is also down for the first
nine months from 10.5% in 1993 to 9.7% in 1994.  This anticipated decline
is due primarily to lower margins in the above mentioned new national supply
contracts.  Although the lower gross margin of these contracts reduces the
Company's overall gross margin as a percentage of net sales, the increase 
in sales produced an increase in gross margin dollars for the first nine
months of 1994 of approximately 50.9%.

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 third quarter of 1993 and
7.7% for the first nine months of 1993 to 6.7% for the third
quarter of 1994 and 6.9% for the first nine months of 1994,
respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $1.8
million during the third quarter of 1994 as compared to the
third quarter of 1993 and $3.9 million for the first nine months
in 1994 compared to the same period in 1993.  The increase is
due primarily to the assets acquired in the combination with
Stuart, the approximately $151 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 $.8
million during the third quarter of 1993 to $3.9 million during
the same period in 1994.  For the first nine months of 1994
interest expense, net of interest income, increased $4.8 million
compared to the same period in 1993.  The increase is due to
increased borrowings to finance the combination with Stuart and
the unfavorable trend in interest rates during the first nine
months of 1994.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate varied during the third quarter as a
percentage of income before income taxes from 38.3% in 1993 to
51.6% 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, combined with the
lower income before income taxes caused by the restructuring
expenses.

Nonrecurring Restructuring Expenses

During the third quarter of 1994 the Company incurred
approximately $9.0 million of nonrecurring restructuring
expenses.  These nonrecurring expenses as discussed in the
Company's 1994 proxy statement and second quarter Form 10-Q
relate to its combination with Stuart and its related decision
to contract out the management and operation of its mainframe
computer system.  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, increasing
efficiencies within the Company, termination of leases and other
incremental costs related to the Company's contracting out of
its mainframe computer system.  These restructuring expenses are
being recorded as incurred.  Of the $27.7 million of
nonrecurring restructuring expenses incurred to date,
approximately $10.5 million will be paid in subsequent months.

Net Income 

During the third quarter and the first nine months of 1994, the
Company recorded lower net income than 1993 due to the
anticipated restructuring expenses previously mentioned. 
Without these nonrecurring expenses and the related tax benefit
the Company earned approximately $6.7 million or $.18 per common
share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 and $17.6 million
or $.50 per common share for the nine months ended September 30,
1994, increases of 41.2% and 36.4%, 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.  As a result
of, 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.
