NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements of Physician Sales &
Service, Inc. ("PSS"or the "Company") reflect, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods
indicated. The adjustments include the retroactive adjustment to give effect to
the merger with X-Ray Corporation of Georgia ("X-Ray GA") effective December 20,
1996, and to the merger with S & W X-Ray, Inc. ("S & W") effective September 23,
1997, both accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method.

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes in the Company's
1997 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

     Financial statements for the Company's subsidiary outside the United States
are translated into U.S. dollars at quarter-end exchange rates for assets and
liabilities and weighted average exchange rates for income and expenses.  The
resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.

     The results of operations for the interim periods covered by this report
may not necessarily be indicative of operating results for the full fiscal year.
Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
 
     Effective as of July 18, 1997, the Company acquired an Imaging Division
company comprised of three imaging and equipment distributors with annualized
revenues of approximately $76 million in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase. The aggregate consideration of approximately $13.8 million was
comprised of approximately $2.5 million in cash and 868,364 shares of
unregistered common stock.  The excess of the purchase price paid over the fair
market value of the tangible net assets acquired of approximately $18.0 million
has been recorded as goodwill and will be amortized on a straight-line basis
over thirty years.  The allocation of purchase price is based upon preliminary
estimates of fair value and costs to be incurred and subject to revision at a
later date.

     On August 8, 1997, the Company merged with a medical supply and equipment
distributor with annualized sales of approximately $1.7 million in a stock for
assets merger accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method.  The Company
issued approximately 35,000 shares of PSS common stock in exchange for all of
the net assets of the acquired company.  The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have not been restated for periods prior to the pooling due to
immateriality.  Accordingly, the results of operations have been reflected in
the consolidated financial statements prospectively from the acquisition date
and the deficit of approximately $0.1 million of the acquired company has been
recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings of the Company.

     On September 23, 1997, the Company acquired S&W, a radiology and imaging
distributor, in a stock-for-stock merger accounted for under the pooling-of-
interest method by issuing 1,737,457 shares of common stock to the former
shareholders of S&W in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of S&W valued at $26.0 million at the time of the merger. S&W reported
$72.0 million in revenues for the 12 months prior to acquisition by the Company.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated for
periods prior to the pooling.

     Merger costs and expenses of $1.8 million were incurred during the three 
months ended September 30, 1997. Such costs included direct merger costs 
primarily consisting of investment banking, legal, accounting, and filing fees.
Additional merger costs and expenses will be recorded next quarter related to 
the consolidation of duplicate service center locations, realigning regional and
corporate functions, consolidating information systems and reducing personnel.

     The following presents separate company data of PSS, X-Ray GA and S&W for
the periods prior to merger. X-Ray GA was an S Corporation for income tax
purposes, and therefore did not pay U.S. federal income taxes. The table
includes unaudited proforma net income and net income per share amounts which
reflect proforma adjustments to present income taxes of X-Ray GA on the basis on
which they will be reported in future periods. X-Ray GA results of operations
are combined with PSS for periods subsequent to the date of merger.

NOTE 3  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     During September 1997, the Company loaned its Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer approximately $3.0 million to refinance debt incurred in
connection with previous purchases of common stock. The loans are unsecured, 
and expected to be repaid over a 10-year period, and bear
interest at 6.55%.


NOTE 4  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In October 1997, the Company issued 8.5% senior subordinated notes due in
2007 (the "Notes") in the amount of $125.0 million with net proceeds to the
Company of $119.8 million after deduction for offering costs. Interest on the
Notes will accrue from their date of original issuance and will be payable semi-
annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 1998, at
a rate of 8.5% per annum.

     In October 1997, the Company merged with a Physician Supply Division
medical supply and equipment distributor located in Los Angeles, California in a
stock-for-stock  merger to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  The
acquired company reported $5.0 million in revenues for the latest twelve months.

     In October 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of a Imaging Division

     ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The Company is a leading distributor of medical supplies, equipment and
pharmaceuticals to primary care and other office-based physicians.  The Company
currently operates 61 physician office medical supply distribution ("Physician
Supply Division") service centers distributing to approximately 103,000
physician office sites in all 50 states.  The Company's primary market is the
approximately 399,000 physicians who practice medicine in approximately 198,000
office sites throughout the United States.

     The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Diagnostic Imaging ("DI
or Imaging Division"), distributes medical diagnostic imaging supplies,
chemicals, equipment and provides service to the acute and alternate care
markets. DI currently operates 25 imaging service centers in ten states in the
Southeast, Northeast and Midwest.

     The Company also distributes medical supplies and equipment in Belgium,
France, Germany, and the Netherlands through its WorldMed International, Inc.
subsidiary ("International Division").  The Company currently has three
International Division service centers distributing to the acute and alternate
care markets.
 
     The Company's primary objectives are to be capable of servicing the medical
equipment and supply needs of every office-based physician in the United States,
to create a national diagnostic imaging distribution company, and to expand its
presence in the European medical equipment and supply market.  To achieve these
objectives and increase profitability, the Company intends to (i) continue to
acquire physician supply and equipment distributors, especially in existing
markets where it can leverage its distribution infrastructure and gain market
share, (ii) acquire diagnostic imaging distributors to expand its geographic
coverage and leverage its existing infrastructure, (iii) increase sales of
existing service centers by adding additional sales representatives and
providing superior service, competitive pricing and a broad product line,
including sophisticated diagnostic equipment, (iv) expand operating margins, (v)
open new service centers in selected markets where acquisition opportunities are
not available, and (vi) invest in sophisticated information systems that bring
efficiency to the Company and its subsidiaries.

INDUSTRY

     According to industry estimates, the medical supply and equipment segment
of the health care industry represents a $30.2 billion market, of which $5.5
billion represents the primary care and other office-based physicians sector.
The medical supply and equipment industry is estimated to be growing at an
annual rate of 6% to 8%. The Company has historically grown faster than the
overall market. The Company estimates that approximately 300 companies supply
medical products to the office-based physician sector.

     The diagnostic imaging industry represents a $5.0 billion market consisting
of the sale and service of diagnostic imaging equipment and supplies to the
acute care market, imaging centers and physician offices. Approximately $2.3
billion of the diagnostic imaging market is sold through independent
distributors and the remainder is sold directly by manufacturers. The diagnostic
imaging industry is highly fragmented with unconsolidated distributors
representing approximately 40% of the market.

COMPANY GROWTH

     Since its inception in 1983, the Company has achieved significant growth in
the number of service center locations, geographic area of operation, net sales,
and profitability.  During fiscal years 1992 through 1997, the Company and its
subsidiaries' net sales, excluding the retroactive effect of material mergers,
grew at a compound annual rate of approximately 49%, and giving retroactive
effect of material mergers, the Company's net sales grew at a compound annual
rate of approximately 27%.  The number of company service centers has grown from
two at the end of  fiscal 1984 to 89 currently, including 61 Physician Supply
Division service centers, 25 Imaging Division services centers and three
International Division service centers.  In order of significance,  the
Company's growth  has  been  accomplished  through  (i) acquiring regional and
local physician supply companies (ii) acquiring local and regional imaging
companies service centers, (iii) increasing sales from existing Physician Supply
Division service centers, and (iv) opening start-up Physician Supply Division
service centers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following is management's discussion and analysis of the results of
operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

     NET SALES.  Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 totaled
$253.1 million, an increase of $62.8 million or 33.0% over net sales of $190.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Net sales for the six
months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $476.6 million, an increase of $117.0
million or 32.6% over net sales of $359.6 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1996.  In order of contribution to the increase, net sales
increased as the result of (i) net sales of the Imaging Division service centers
acquired during the last nine months of fiscal 1997, (ii) internal sales growth
of Physician Supply Division service centers operating at least two years, and
(iii) net sales of Physician Supply Division service centers recently acquired.

     The Company's service centers operating for at least 24 consecutive months
generated same center sales growth of approximately 21% for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, excluding $18 million of low-profit business
eliminated by the Company.  The sales growth resulted from the continued
development of PSS's sales force, further market penetration, increased emphasis
on diagnostic equipment and supplies, and expansion of existing territories
served by individual service centers.

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1997
totaled $69.3 million, an increase of $18.2 million or 35.6% over the three
months ended September 30, 1996 total of $51.1 million. Gross profit for the six
months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $129.3 million, an increase of $32.7
million or 33.8% over the six months ended September 30, 1996 total of $96.6
million.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 27.4% and 27.1%
for the three and six months ended September 30, 1997 from 26.9% for the three
and six months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase in gross profit
percentage is the result of higher gross profit margins in the Physician Supply
Division due to the elimination of low-profit business during the six months
ended  September 30, 1997 and the increase in gross profit on sales of Abbott
products in connection with the exclusive distributorship agreement with Abbott
Laboratories.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $38.5 million, an increase
of $9.8 million or 34.0% over the three months ended September 30, 1996 total of
$28.7 million. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 totaled $72.7 million, an increase of $18.2 million or 33.5%
over the six months ended September 30, 1996 total of $54.5 million. As a
percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were at 15.2% and
15.3% for the three and six months ended September 30, 1997 and at 15.1% and
15.2% for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996 despite operating
costs incurred associated with transitioning merged and acquired operations.

     SELLING EXPENSES.  Selling expenses for the three months ended September
30, 1997 totaled $21.4 million, an increase of $4.9 million or 29.2% over the
three months ended September 30, 1996 total of $16.5 million. Selling expenses
for the six months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $39.5 million, an increase
of $7.9 million or 24.8% over the six months ended September 30, 1996 total of
$31.6 million. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses decreased to 8.4% and
8.3% for the three and six months ended September 30, 1997 from 8.7% and 8.8%
for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in selling
expense as a percentage of sales was primarily a result of the operations of the
new Imaging Division which incurs significantly lower selling expense as a
percentage of net sales than the Physician Supply Division.

     MERGER COSTS AND EXPENSES.   During the six months ended September 30,
1997, the Company recorded $1.8 million in non-recurring merger costs and
expenses associated with the acquisition of an Imaging Division imaging
distributor.  During the six months ended September 30, 1996, the Company
recorded non-recurring merger costs and expenses of approximately $6.9 million
associated with the mergers of Physician Supply Division and three medical
supply and equipment distributors.  Such costs included direct merger costs
primarily consisting of investment banking, legal, accounting and filing fees as
well as consolidation costs from the closing of duplicate service center
locations, realigning regional and corporate functions, consolidating

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
information systems and reducing personnel.  The Company expects to incur
additional merger costs and expenses related to the merger of S&W consummated
September 23, 1997.

     Nonrecurring ESOP Cost of Acquired Company.  Prior to the acquisition of
S&W by the Company, S&W sponsored a leveraged ESOP plan.  As S&W shares were
released from collateral, the Company reported compensation expense equal to the
current market price of the shares released.  ESOP related compensation expense
for the six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 totaled $2.5 million and
$0.7 million, respectively.  The increase in compensation expense is due to an
increase in the number of shares released and an increase in the market price of
the related stock.  As of September 30, 1997 there were no remaining unallocated
S&W ESOP shares and there will be no related expense subsequent to September 30,
1997.  It is Management's intention to terminate this plan.

     OPERATING INCOME.   Operating income for the three months ended September
30, 1997 totaled $5.7 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 5.6%, compared to
operating income of $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
The Company recorded operating income of $13.0 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $10.1 million or 341.2%, compared to
operating income of $2.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 1996.
The operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 1997
include non-recurring merger costs and expenses and ESOP costs of an acquired
company of approximately $3.7 and $4.3 million, respectively.  The operating
results for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996 include non-
recurring merger costs and expenses and ESOP costs of an acquired company of
approximately $0.4 and $7.6 million, respectively.  Excluding the effect of
these non-recurring costs, operating income for the three and six months ended
September 30, 1997, would have increased 61.3% and 62.2% to $9.4 million and
$17.1 million, respectively from operating income of $5.8 million and $10.5
million for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996.

     INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE).  For the three and six months ended September
30, 1997 included in net interest expense is interest income of $0.2 and $0.5
million from short term investments offset by interest expense of $0.4 million
and $0.6 million related to debt of merged companies for which the financial
statements have been restated. Net interest income for the three and six months
ended September 30, 1996 totaled $0.5 million and $1.1 million. The decrease in
interest income is the result of the use of cash invested in short term
investments to acquire Physician Supply Business and Imaging Division Companies.
 
     OTHER INCOME.   Other income for the three and six months ended September
30, 1997 increased $1.0 and $1.3 million to $1.4 million and $2.0 million
respectively.  Other income consists of finance charges on customer accounts,
Imaging Division customer delivery charges and financing performance incentives.
The increase in other income results from the growth in the Company's
operations.
 
     PROVISION  FOR INCOME TAXES.  The income tax provision totaled $3.0 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to a provision for
income taxes of $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The
income tax provision totaled $6.2 million for the six months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.9 million for the six
months ended September 30, 1996.  The income tax provision computation is
affected by the non-deductible nature of certain non-recurring merger costs and
expenses in the period in which they were incurred.

     NET INCOME.  Net income totaled $4.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to a net income of $4.1 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. Net income totaled $8.5 million for the six
months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to a net income of $2.8 million for
the six months ended September 30, 1996. The net income for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 includes non-recurring merger costs and expenses and
non-recurring ESOP costs of an acquired company. The following table presents
net income and earnings per share for the three and six months ended September
30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 as reported and the pro-forma effect on net
income and earnings per share excluding these non-recurring costs and expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As the Company's business grows, its cash and working capital requirements
will also continue to increase as a result of the need to finance acquisitions
and anticipated growth of the Company's operations.  This growth will be funded
through a combination of cash flow from operations, revolving credit borrowings
and proceeds from the Notes completed October 7, 1997 (see Note 3--Subsequent
Events), and any future public offerings.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.7 million for the six
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $2.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 1996 due to
improved operating results of the Company.

     Net cash provided by investing activities of $5.1 million for the six
months ended September 30, 1997 consisted primarily of the proceeds from sales
of marketable securities offset by capital expenditures, payment for purchases
of net asset from business acquisitions, and the payment of noncompete
agreements.  Net cash used in investing activities of the six months ended
September 30, 1997 of $8.8 million was primarily utilized to finance the
acquisition of new service centers and capital expenditures including the use of
the net proceeds from sales and maturities of cash equivalents.

     Net cash used in financing activities was $23.6 million and $8.4 million
for the six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively, which
consisted primarily of repayments of outstanding debt of companies acquired.

     The Company had working capital of $162.7 million and $171.6 million as of
September 30, 1997 and March 28, 1997, respectively.  Accounts receivable, net
of allowances, were $151.0 million and $130.4 million at September 30, 1997 and
March 28, 1997, respectively.  The average number of days sales in accounts
receivable outstanding was approximately 53 days for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 and 56 days for the year ended March 28, 1997, respectively.

     Inventories were $79.1 million and $75.2 million as of September 30, 1997
and March 28, 1997, respectively.  The Company had annualized inventory turnover
of 9.0 times for the six months ended September 30, 1997 and 8.2 times for the
year ended March 28, 1997.  Inventory financing has historically been achieved
through negotiating extended payment terms from suppliers.

                                       11
<PAGE>

     Earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization 
("EBITDA") totaled $24.0 million and $14.6 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. EBITDA margin increased to 5.0% from
4.0% for the same periods.
 
     The Company has historically been able to finance its liquidity needs for
the expansion through lines of credit provided by banks and proceeds from the
public and private offering of stock.  In May 1994, the Company completed an
initial public offering of Common Stock resulting in proceeds, after deducting
issuance costs, of approximately $15.8 million.  The Company used all of the net
proceeds to reduce outstanding debt.  Also, in the third quarter of fiscal year
1995, the Company amended and restated its Credit Facility, thereby increasing
the maximum availability under the Credit Facility to $60.0 million with the
option, on the part of the Company, to increase such availability to $75.0
million.

     In November 1995, the Company completed a secondary offering of 11.5
million shares of common stock at $17.00 per share, 8.8 million of which were
offered by the Company.  The Company used approximately $58.2 million and $26.9
million of the total net proceeds of $142.9 million to repay Company debt and
debt assumed through acquisitions in fiscal years 1996 and 1997, respectively.
Management used approximately $50.0 million in connection with acquisitions for
the Imaging Business, Physician Supply Business and International Business, and
general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures during fiscal year
1997.  During the six months ended September 30, 1997, management used the
remaining net proceeds for acquisitions, capital expenditures and general
corporate purposes.

     The Company believes that the expected cash flows from operations, bank
borrowings, the net proceeds of the recent debt offering, capital markets, and
vendor credit should be adequate to meet the Company's anticipated future
requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of
interest on its debts for the foreseeable future.  As of September 30, 1997, the
Company had no outstanding debt under its Credit Facility.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

         (a)  Not applicable.

         (b)  Not applicable.

         (c)  On July 21, 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 868,364
              shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common
              Stock"), including 112,658 shares which are being held in escrow
              pending the resolution of potential indemnifiable claims, to the
              former shareholders of General X-Ray, Inc., General Med Ventures,
              Inc. and General MedVentues International, Inc. (collectively,
              "General X-Ray") in exchange for all the shares of General X-Ray
              common stock. The issuance of the securities was made in reliance
              on the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of
              the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as
              a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. All of
              the securities were acquired by the recipients for investment and
              with no view toward the public resale or distribution thereof
              without registration. The recipients qualified as accredited
              investors, the offers and sales were made without any public
              solicitation, and the stock certificates bear restrictive legends.

              On August 8, 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 35,360
              shares of Common Stock, including 5,853 shares which are being
              held in escrow pending the resolution of potential indemnifiable
              claims, to the former shareholders of Med Systems, Inc. ("Med
              Systems") in exchange for all of the shares of Med System common
              stock. The issuance of the securities was made in reliance on the
