               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS






To the Plan Administrator of the
Taylor Medical, Inc.
Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan and Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits, with fund information, of TAYLOR MEDICAL, INC. PROFIT SHARING 401(K)
PLAN AND TRUST as of May 31, 1996 and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits, with fund information, for the year then ended.
These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Plan's administrator.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audit.  The
statement of net assets of Taylor Medical, Inc. Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan and
Trust as of May 31, 1995 was audited by other auditors whose report dated
October 3, 1995 expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
May 31, 1996 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets held for
investment purposes, loans or fixed income obligations, and reportable
transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for





<PAGE>   6

                                     -2-

Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The fund information in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for 
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.  
The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the 
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements 
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to 
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable
transactions do not disclose the historical cost of certain plan assets held by
the plan custodians.  Disclosure of this information is required by the
Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES


                             MAY 31, 1996 AND 1995

1.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     The following description of the Taylor Medical, Inc. Profit Sharing
     401(k) Plan and Trust (the "Plan") provides only general information. 
     Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete
     description of the Plan's provisions.

     GENERAL

     The Plan was adopted effective June 1, 1990 by Taylor Medical, Inc. (the
     "Company") to establish a savings and investment plan for the exclusive
     benefit of the Company's employees and their beneficiaries.  The Plan is a
     defined contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of the Employee
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended.  The Plan is
     administered by the Company, and the American Funds Group and Lincoln      
     National Life Insurance Company serve as the Plan's custodians.

     Disclosure of historical cost information with regard to the Plan's
     investments is required to be presented in the schedules of assets held
     for investment purposes and reportable transactions (Schedules I and II)
     in accordance with the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for
     Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
     of 1974. Due to the record-keeping system maintained by the custodians,
     this information cannot be provided.

     On July 1, 1993, Taylor Medical, Inc. acquired Attention Medical Company.
     The assets of the Attention Medical Company 401(k) Plan (the "Attention
     Plan"), which approximated $719,000 at the acquisition date, were combined
     with the assets of the Plan.  The Attention Plan assets are invested in
     six funds under contract with Lincoln National Life Insurance Co.  It is
     the Company's intention to leave the Attention Plan's assets invested in
     the Lincoln National Life Insurance Co. funds unless individual
     participants elect to transfer their investments to the American Funds
     Group.  All contributions made subsequent to the acquisition date were
     invested in funds in the American Funds Group.

     In August 1995, the Company merged with Physician Sales & Services, Inc.
     ("PSS").  Contributions to the Plan were suspended effective for payroll
     periods commencing after August 20, 1995.  The Plan was also amended to
     provide for fully vested account balances effective August 20, 1995 and to
     provide for the termination of the loan program.  In addition, effective
     for the plan year commencing on June 1, 1996, the Plan's year-end will
     change from May 31 to December 31.

     CONTRIBUTIONS                            

     Prior to the suspension of contributions, participants could elect to make
     pretax contributions ranging from 1% to 15% of their annual compensation,  
     excluding certain commissions, with a minimum monthly contribution of $25.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

     Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plan's participants to
     reflect the participant's share of the Plan's income and the participant's
     contribution.  Allocations are based on participant account balances, as   
     defined.

     VESTING

     Participants are fully vested at all times with respect to their pretax
     contributions plus earnings thereon.  Effective August 20, 1995,
     participants became fully vested in all employer contributions.

     INVESTMENT OPTIONS

     Contributions made to the Plan are invested in funds with the American
     Funds Group only.  Participants may no longer invest funds with Lincoln
     Life Insurance Company but may transfer their accounts to the American
     Funds Group.  A description of each investment option available through
     the American Funds Group is provided below:

           GROWTH FUND OF AMERICA

           Funds are invested in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily
           of common stocks.  Assets may also be held in securities convertible
           into common stocks, cash or cash equivalents, straight debt
           securities, or nonconvertible preferred stock.  The objective of
           this fund is growth of capital.

           WASHINGTON MUTUAL INVESTORS FUND

           Funds are invested in high-quality common stocks and securities
           converted into common stocks.  The objective of this fund is to
           produce income and to provide an opportunity for growth of principal
           consistent with sound common stock investing.

           INCOME FUND OF AMERICA

           Funds may be invested in common and preferred stocks, straight debt
           securities, debt securities with equity conversion or purchase
           rights, and cash and cash equivalents.  The fund may also invest in
           various mortgage-related securities.  The objective of this fund is
           to emphasize current income while secondarily striving to
           attain capital growth.

                                     -3-

         CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST OF AMERICA

         Funds are invested in a high-quality portfolio of money market
         instruments, which may include commercial paper, commercial bank
         obligations, savings association obligations, corporate bonds and
         notes, and securities of the U.S. government, its agencies, or
         instrumentalities.  The objective of this fund is to provide investors
         with a way to earn income on their cash reserves, while preserving
         capital and maintaining liquidity.

         SMALLCAP WORLD FUND

         Funds are invested primarily in equity securities of companies with
         relatively small market capitalizations.  The objective of this fund
         is to provide long-term growth of capital.

         BOND FUND OF AMERICA

         Funds are invested in marketable corporate debt securities, U.S.
         government securities, mortgage-related securities, other asset-backed
         securities, and cash or money market instruments.  The objective of
         this fund is to provide as high a level of current income as is
         consistent with the preservation of capital.

      Investment objectives may not be an indication of actual  performance.

      PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

      Upon retirement, death, disability, or termination of service, a
      participant or beneficiary may elect to receive a lump-sum distribution
      in an amount equal to the value of that participant's account on the date
      of distribution. In addition, hardship    distributions are permitted if
      certain criteria are met.

      LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS

      Prior to August 20, 1995, a participant was permitted to borrow the
      lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested interest in the participant's
      account on the valuation date coinciding with or immediately preceding
      such loan.  All loans are secured by the vested interest remaining in the
      participant's account. Interest rates are based on prevailing market
      conditions at the time of origination.  Interest payments on loans
      are allocated to individual participant account balances.

      Subsequent to August 31, 1995, during the transition in connection with
      the acquisition of Taylor by PSS, certain participant loan payments were
      erroneously not collected through automatic payroll deduction and, as a
      result, the loans were delinquent at May 31, 1996.


2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      RECLASSIFICATIONS

      Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996
      presentation.


<PAGE>   13
                                     -4-

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual method
     of accounting.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial
     statements and disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

     The Plan's investments, other than investments in guaranteed investment
     contracts and participant loans, are stated at fair value, as determined
     by quoted market prices.  The Plan's investment contract is fully
     benefit-responsive and is stated at contract value, which approximates
     fair value.  Loans to participants are valued at cost, which approximates
     fair value.  Investment income is recorded when earned.  The net
     appreciation/depreciation in fair value of investments includes the gain
     or loss on investments bought and sold during the year as well as the
     change in fair value.

     On September 23, 1994, the American Institute of Certified Public
     Accountants issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 94-4, "Reporting of
     Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined
     Contribution Pension Plans," which requires certain disclosures for
     investment contracts that are fully benefit-responsive.  This SOP is
     effective for financial statements for plan years beginning after December
     15, 1995 if investment contracts were entered into before December 31,
     1993.  Thus, since the Plan's investment contract was entered into prior
     to December 31, 1993, the Plan will adopt SOP 94-4 for the year ending
     December 31, 1996.  The plan administrator does not expect the adoption of
     this SOP to have a material impact on the Plan's financial statements.

3.   INVESTMENTS

     The Plan's investments are held by the American Funds Group and Lincoln
     National Life Insurance Company.  The fair values of individual assets
     that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets as of May 31, 1996 and
     1995 are as follows:

4.   TAX STATUS

     Although the Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the
     Internal Revenue Service dated April 10, 1996, it has not been updated for
     the latest plan amendments.  However, the plan administrator believes that
     the Plan, as amended, is designed and being operated in compliance with
     the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, the
     plan administrator believes that the Plan is qualified and the related
     trust continues to be tax-exempt.

5.   PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
     right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions
     of ERISA.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     ON OCTOBER 1, 1996, THE PLAN WAS AMENDED AND RENAMED AS THE PSS/TAYLOR
     MEDICAL PROFIT SHARING 401(K) PLAN, AND THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR WAS CHANGED
     TO PHYSICIAN SALES & SERVICE, INC.
