                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (unaudited)

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 its
    wholly-owned subsidiaries (O&M or the company) as of September 30, 2000 and
    the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine month periods
    and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

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

    The company uses estimated gross margin rates to determine the cost of goods
    sold during interim periods. To improve the accuracy of its estimated gross
    margins for interim reporting purposes, the company takes physical inventory
    counts at selected distribution centers. Reported results of operations for
    the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 reflect
    the results of such counts, to the extent that they are materially different
    from estimated amounts. 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.  Investment

    In October 1999, in a private offering, the company purchased an equity
    investment in Neoforma.com, Inc. (Neoforma), a provider of business-to-
    business e-commerce services in the healthcare industry. In January 2000,
    Neoforma made an initial public offering, at which time the shares held by
    O&M were converted to common stock. The investment is classified as
    available- for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
    Securities, and is included in other assets, net in the consolidated balance
    sheets at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported
    as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At September 30, 2000, the
    estimated fair value (based on the quoted market price), gross unrealized
    loss and cost basis of this investment were $0.8 million, $0.4 million and
    $1.2 million. At December 31, 1999, the investment was stated at its cost
    basis of $1.2 million, as there was no market for the securities at that
    time.

5.  Acquisition

    On July 30, 1999, the company acquired certain net assets of Medix, Inc.
    (Medix), a distributor of medical and surgical supplies. In connection with
    the acquisition, management adopted a plan for integration of the businesses
    which includes closure of some Medix facilities and consolidation of certain
    administrative functions. An accrual was established to provide for certain
    costs of this plan. The following table sets forth the activity in the
    accrual since December 31, 1999:

As of September 30, 2000, approximately 40 employees had been terminated since
the inception of the plan.

6.  Restructuring Reserve

    As a result of the Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation contract cancellation
    in the second quarter of 1998, the company recorded a nonrecurring
    restructuring charge to downsize operations. In the second quarter of 2000,
    the company re-evaluated its estimate of the remaining costs to be incurred
    in connection with the restructuring plan and reduced the reserve by $750
    thousand. The following table sets forth the activity in the restructuring
    reserve since December 31, 1999:

7.  Revolving Credit Facility

    Effective April 24, 2000, the company replaced its revolving credit facility
    with a new agreement expiring in April 2003. The credit limit of the new
    facility is $225.0 million, unchanged from the previous facility, and the
    interest is based on LIBOR or the Prime Rate, at the company's discretion.
    Under the new facility, the company is charged a commitment fee of between
    0.20% and 0.275% on the unused portion of the facility and a utilization fee
    of 0.25% if borrowings exceed $112.5 million. The terms of the new agreement
    limit the amount of indebtedness that the company may incur, require the
    company to maintain certain levels of net worth, current ratio, leverage
    ratio and fixed charge coverage, and restrict the ability of the company to
    materially alter the character of the business through consolidation,
    merger, or purchase or sale of assets.

8.  Receivables Financing Facility

    Effective July 14, 2000, the company replaced its receivables financing
    facility with a new facility expiring in July 2001. Under the terms of the
    new facility, O&M Funding is entitled to transfer, without recourse, up to
    $225.0 million of its trade receivables to a group of unrelated third party
    purchasers at a cost of funds equal to commercial paper rates, the prime
    rate, or LIBOR (plus a charge for administrative and credit support
    services). The terms of the new facility require the company to maintain
    certain levels of net worth, current ratio, leverage ratio and fixed
    coverage, and restrict the company's ability to materially alter the
    character of the business through consolidation, merger, or purchase or sale
    of assets.

9.  Comprehensive Income

    The company's comprehensive income for the three months and nine months
    ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 is shown in the table below. Other
    comprehensive loss is comprised of unrealized loss on investment, net of
    income tax.

11. Contingency

    In August 2000, the company received notice from the Internal Revenue
    Service that it has disallowed certain deductions for interest on loans
    associated with the company's corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) program.
    Management believes that the company has complied with the tax law as it
    relates to its COLI program, and plans to vigorously pursue appropriate
    appeals options. The total amount of the disallowance of these deductions,
    if appeals were unsuccessful, would be approximately $8.5 million after tax,
    including interest. The ultimate resolution of this matter may take several
    years and a determination adverse to the company could have a material
    impact on the company's results of operations.

12. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

    The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information
    for: Owens & Minor, Inc.; on a combined basis, the guarantors of Owens &
    Minor, Inc.'s 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated 10-year Notes (Notes); and the
    non- guarantor subsidiaries of the Notes. Separate financial statements of
    the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantors are
    jointly, severally and unconditionally liable under the guarantees and the
    company believes the condensed consolidating financial information is more
    meaningful in understanding the financial position, results of operations
    and cash flows of the guarantor subsidiaries.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial   Condition and
         Results of Operations

The following management discussion and analysis describes material changes in
the financial condition of Owens & Minor, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(O&M or the company) since December 31, 1999. Trends of a material nature are
discussed to the extent known and considered relevant. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related notes
thereto and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity.  As a result of favorable cash flow from operations, the company's
liquidity improved during the first nine months of 2000.  Combined outstanding
debt and off balance sheet accounts receivable securitization were reduced by
$52.2 million to $228.6 million at September 30, 2000, from $280.8 million at
December 31, 1999.  Excluding the impact of the receivables financing facility,
$72.6 million of cash was provided by operating activities in the first nine
months of 2000.

The company expects that its available financing will be sufficient to fund its
working capital needs and long-term strategic growth, although this cannot be
assured.  In April 2000, the company replaced its revolving credit facility with
a new agreement expiring in April 2003, and in July, the company replaced its
receivables financing facility with a new agreement which allows O&M to sell up
to $225 million of accounts receivable through July 2001.  At September 30,
2000, the company had $218.4 million of unused credit under the revolving credit
facility and the ability to sell an additional $155.0 million of accounts
receivable under the receivables financing facility.

Working Capital Management. The company's working capital increased by $7.3
million from December 31, 1999 to $226.8 million at September 30, 2000,
primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable.  This increase was driven
by a reduction in the amount of receivables sold under the financing facility.
At September 30, 2000, only $70.0 million of receivables had been sold, compared
to $105.6 million at December 31, 1999.  Accounts receivable, excluding the
impact of the financing facility, decreased by $4.0 million to $328.5 million at
September 30, 2000.

Capital Expenditures.  Capital expenditures were $15.4 million in the first nine
months of 2000, of which $9.4 million was for computer hardware and software.
The company expects to continue supporting strategic initiatives and improving
operational efficiency through investments in technology, including system
upgrades and the development of electronic commerce. The company expects future
expenditures to be funded through cash flow from operations.

Results of Operations

Third quarter and first nine months of 2000 compared with 1999
Net sales.  Net sales increased 7% to $872.3 million in the third quarter of
2000 from $811.9 million in the third quarter of 1999.  Net sales increased 12%
to $2.6 billion in the first nine months of 2000 from $2.3 billion in the first
nine months of 1999.  Excluding the sales generated by customers acquired from
the Medix acquisition in July 1999, net sales increased 6% for the third quarter
and 7% for the first nine months of 2000.  Most of this increase resulted from
increased penetration of existing accounts, most significantly Tenet BuyPower,
whose distribution contract began in February 1999.

                                       16
<PAGE>

Gross margin.  For both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2000,
gross margin was 10.4% of net sales, a slight decrease from 10.5% in the same
periods of 1999.  The decrease was a result of changes in the company's sales
mix, including lower margins on business acquired through the Medix acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.3%
for the third quarter of 2000, compared to 7.6% for the third quarter of 1999.
SG&A expense decreased to 7.4% of net sales for the first nine months of 2000,
compared to 7.7% for the same period of 1999.  The decrease as a percentage of
sales was the result of economies of scale created by a higher sales base in
2000, operating efficiencies driven by improved warehouse technology, continued
management of administrative costs, and the elimination of the need for Year
2000 remediation efforts.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the
third quarter and first nine months of 2000 increased by 10% and 13% from the
same periods in 1999.  Excluding goodwill amortization on the Medix acquisition,
depreciation and amortization increased by 8% for the third quarter and 7% for
the first nine months, as a result of higher capital spending associated with
information technology initiatives.  O&M anticipates similar increases in
depreciation through the remainder of 2000 as the company continues to invest in
information technology.

Interest expense, net, and discount on accounts receivable securitization
(financing costs).  Financing costs totaled $4.8 million for the third quarter
of 2000, compared with $4.2 million for the same period of 1999.  Excluding
collections of customer finance charges, financing costs for the third quarter
increased 11% to $6.3 million in 2000 from $5.7 million in 1999 due to higher
interest rates.  For the first nine months of 2000, financing costs totaled
$15.0 million, compared with $12.1 million for the same period of 1999.
Excluding collections of customer finance charges, financing costs increased 22%
to $18.9 million in 2000 from $15.6 million in 1999.  The increase in financing
costs for the first nine months was driven by higher average outstanding
financing combined with higher interest rates.  Average combined outstanding
debt and accounts receivable securitization balances were approximately $274.6
million for the first nine months of 2000 compared to $235.9 million for the
same period of 1999.  Average outstanding financing was higher in 2000 because
the Medix acquisition took place in late July of 1999.

The company expects to continue to manage its financing costs by continuing its
working capital reduction initiatives and management of interest rate risks,
although the future results of these initiatives cannot be assured.

Nonrecurring restructuring credits.  As a result of the Columbia/HCA contract
cancellation in the second quarter of 1998, the company recorded a nonrecurring
restructuring charge of $6.6 million, after taxes, to downsize operations.  In
the second quarters of 2000 and 1999, the company re-evaluated its restructuring
reserve.  Since the actions under this plan resulted in lower projected total
costs than originally anticipated, the company recorded reductions in the
reserve that increased net income by approximately $0.4 million in 2000 and $0.6
million in 1999, after taxes.

Income taxes.  The income tax provision was $19.1 million for the first nine
months of 2000 compared with $15.0 million for the first nine months of 1999.
The effective tax rate was 45.0%, compared to 44.0% for the same period in 1999.
This rate increase results primarily from increases in certain nondeductible
expenses.


                                       17

Net income.  Net income increased to $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2000
from $7.1 million for the third quarter of 1999 and increased to $23.3 million
for the first nine months of 2000 from $19.1 million for the same period of
1999.  Excluding the second quarter adjustments to the restructuring reserve,
net income increased to $22.9 million for the first nine months of 2000 from
$18.6 million for the same period of 1999.  The increase is primarily due to the
increase in sales and success in controlling operating expenses through
productivity improvements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  In May 1999, the FASB delayed
the effective date of this standard by one year.  In September 2000, the FASB
amended SFAS No. 133 with SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  The company
will be required to adopt the provisions of these standards beginning on January
1, 2001.  The effect of the adoption of these standards on O&M's results will
depend on the ability of the company's interest rate swaps to effectively hedge
the variability of future cash flows, as well as changes in interest rates
between now and the end of 2000.  Management believes that based on current
interest rates, adoption of these standards will be limited primarily to balance
sheet presentation and is unlikely to have a material effect on the company's
results of operations.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which
clarifies the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements.  The company will be required to adopt the
provisions of SAB No. 101 in the fourth quarter of 2000.  Management believes
the adoption of SAB No. 101 will have no material effect on the company's
financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2000, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on
EITF Issue 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.  This
consensus requires that all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction
related to shipping and handling, if any, represent revenue and should be
classified as revenue.  The company currently classifies amounts billed to
customers for shipping as a reduction of outbound freight costs in SG&A
expenses.  O&M will be required to adopt the provisions of EITF Issue 00-10 in
the fourth quarter of 2000, and net sales and SG&A will be reclassified for
prior periods in the consolidated statements of income.  As a result, net sales,
gross margin and total expenses will each be increased by approximately $8
million annually; however, net income and net income per common share will
remain unchanged.

Risks

The company is subject to risks associated with changes in the medical industry,
including continued efforts to control costs, which place pressure on operating
margin, and changes in the way medical and surgical services are delivered to
patients.  The loss of one of the company's larger customers could have a
significant effect on its business.  However, management believes that the
company's competitive position in the marketplace and its ability to control
costs would enable it to continue profitable operations and attract new
customers in the event of such a loss.
