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 March 31, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows
     for the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

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.   Nonrecurring Restructuring Expenses

     During the first quarter, the Company incurred $2.7 million of
     nonrecurring restructuring expenses related to the Company's
     restructuring plan developed in connection with the Company's
     May 1994 combination with Stuart Medical, Inc. (Stuart) and its
     related decision to contract out the management and operation
     of its mainframe computer system.  The restructuring expenses
     incurred during the first quarter of 1995 relate primarily to
     duplicate facility costs.  All facility consolidations are
     expected to be completed during 1995 with total 1995
     restructuring expenses approximating $9.0 million.  At March
     31, 1995, accrued restructuring expenses were $1.5 million.


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

Net Sales

During the first quarter of 1995 net sales increased 91.2% to $747.1
million from $390.8 million in the first quarter of 1994 due
primarily to the combination with Stuart.  Assuming the Stuart
combination had occurred January 1, 1994, the increase would have
been approximately 16% for the quarter.  This "same store" sales
increase is due primarily to new contracts with large healthcare
providers such as Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., Premier Health
Alliance and the Department of Defense; a new distribution agreement
with VHA, the Company's largest contract; and the continued product
line expansion by the Company.

For the first three months of 1995, members of VHA were given the
opportunity to choose one of four medical/surgical supply
distributors as their authorized distribution agent (ADA).  In
addition to Owens & Minor, the distribution choices were Shared
Service Systems of Nebraska, the Burrows Company and newly added
Baxter distribution.  Under terms of an agreement reached between VHA
and Baxter manufacturing, all ADAs will be authorized to distribute
a selected group of Baxter manufacturing products to VHA healthcare
organizations.  VHA has informed the Company that 95% of its
membership has made their selection, and of the 911 accounts
previously doing business under the ADA agreement with Owens & Minor,
88% have been retained by the Company.  In terms of revenue, it is
anticipated that the Company will keep approximately 85% of this VHA
volume, and the Company anticipates that the loss of volume will be
offset by the gain in distributing Baxter's self-manufactured
products to VHA hospitals and by increasing market share within VHA
facilities as a result of the expanded volume commitment of non-
traditional products by these accounts.  Non-traditional products,
in this case, are products that have historically been sold direct
to hospitals by manufacturers, but are now beginning to come through
distribution, or products that have been sold through other channels
of distribution that are being consolidated through one distributor. 
With VHA's expanded membership of 1,199 healthcare providers and
their increased potential, which includes for the first time a select
group of Baxter's self-manufactured products, the Company expects to
service approximately two-thirds of VHA's medical/surgical volume.
 
Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales declined to 9.8% in the
first quarter of 1995 from 10.0% in the first quarter of 1994.  The
decrease was a result of the increase in sales from large lower
margin contracts.  As the healthcare industry consolidates, gross
margin as a percent to net sales continues to be under pressure. 
However, the Company should continue to be able to offset decreases
in gross margin percentages with an increase in sales volume,
producing an increase in gross margin dollars (86.3% for the first
quarter).     


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased from 7.3%  in the first quarter of 1994 to 7.2% in
the first quarter of 1995.  However, SG&A as a percentage of sales
has increased as compared to the year 1994 (6.8%).  This increase was
primarily due to incremental costs associated with the VHA sign-up
period ended March 31, 1995, and incremental costs of handling
additional inventory.  The additional inventory has been obtained to
ensure product availability to customers during the distribution
center combination process and the start-up of new contracts.   

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.2 million in the first
quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994 due primarily
to the additional goodwill amortization and depreciation expenses
related to the Stuart combination and the depreciation of the
Company's continued investment in new and improved technology. 

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased from $.8 million
in 1994 to $5.4 million in 1995.  The increase was the result of
increased borrowing to finance the combination with Stuart and the
unfavorable trend in interest rates.

Nonrecurring Restructuring Expenses

During the first quarter, the Company incurred $2.7 million of
nonrecurring restructuring expenses related to the Company's
restructuring plan developed in connection with the Company's May
1994 combination with Stuart and its related decision to contract out
the management and operation of its mainframe computer system.  The
restructuring expenses incurred during the first quarter of 1995
relate primarily to duplicate facility costs.  All facility
consolidations are expected to be completed during 1995, with total
1995 restructuring expenses approximating $9.0 million.  

Net Income

During the quarter, the Company recorded lower net income than 1994
due to the anticipated nonrecurring restructuring expenses previously
mentioned.  Without these nonrecurring expenses and the related tax
benefit, the Company earned approximately $6.2 million or $.16 per
common share.  The increase in net income prior to nonrecurring
expenses was due primarily to increased sales.


Financial Condition

During the first quarter, the Company increased its long-term debt
to finance its technology initiatives and inventory increases.  As
a result, the current ratio and capitalization ratio have increased
and inventory turnover has decreased.  Debt should decline as
inventory is reduced with the consolidation of distribution centers.
