              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Plan Administrator of the
PSS/Taylor Medical
Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of PSS/TAYLOR MEDICAL PROFIT SHARING 401(k) PLAN as of December 31, 1998 and
1997 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits,
with fund information, for the year ended December 31, 1998.  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 audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed 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 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 Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing
<PAGE>

                                      -2-

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.

As discussed in Note 1, 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 trustee.  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


                          DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION

   The following description of the PSS/Taylor Medical Profit Sharing 401(k)
   Plan (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. to
   establish a savings and investment plan for the exclusive benefit of its
   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.

   In August 1995, Taylor Medical, Inc. merged with PSS World Medical, Inc. (the
   "Company"), formerly Physician Sales & Service, Inc. Contributions to the
   Plan were suspended for payroll periods commencing after August 20, 1995.
   Effective August 20, 1995, the Plan was amended to provide for fully vested
   account balances and the termination of the loan program.

   Effective March 14, 1997, the PSS/Taylor Medical Profit Sharing 401(k) Trust
   was amended and restated to appoint Northwestern Trust and Investors Advisory
   Company as the Plan's trustee. Howard Johnson & Company serves as the record
   keeper.

                                      -2-

   Record-Keeper Information

   Disclosure of historical cost information with regard to the Plan's
   investments is required to be presented in the schedule 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 ERISA. Due to the record-keeping systems maintained by
   the trustee, this information cannot be provided.

   Contributions

   As of August 20, 1995, the Plan was frozen and participants became fully
   vested in all employer contributions. All contributions were disallowed for
   the time period thereafter.

   Participant Accounts

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

   Investments

   Investments are participant-directed.  A description of each investment
   option available at December 31, 1998 is provided below:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   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 certain
   estimates and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements
   and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
<PAGE>

                                      -4-

     Administrative Expenses

     Administrative expenses paid by the Company were approximately $14,000 for
     the year ended December 31, 1998. Administrative expenses paid by the Plan
     during the year ended December 31, 1997 were approximately $6,000. During
     1998, the Company repaid this amount to the Plan.

     Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

     The Plan's investments, other than participant loans, are stated at fair
     value, as determined by quoted market prices. 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 or sold during
     the year as well as the change in fair value.

3.   TAX STATUS

     The Internal Revenue Service issued a determination letter dated September
     23, 1997 stating that the Plan was designed in accordance with applicable
     sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since
     receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator
     believes that the Plan is currently designed and is being operated in
     compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
     Therefore, the plan administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and
     the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement dates.

4.   PLAN TERMINATION

     The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject
     to plan provisions and applicable provisions of ERISA. If the Plan were to
     terminate, each participant's interest in the trust would be distributed to
     such participant or his/her beneficiary at the time prescribed by the Plan
     and the Internal Revenue Code. Upon termination of the Plan, the trustee
     shall pay all liabilities and expenses of the trust fund and will sell
     shares of encumbered stock held in the loan suspense account, if any, to
     the extent such sale is necessary in order to repay any outstanding loans.

5.   RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500

     As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Plan had $3,056 and $14,626,
     respectively, of pending distributions to participants who elected
     distributions from the Plan. These amounts are recorded as a liability in
     the Plan's Form 5500; however, these amounts are not recorded as a
     liability in the accompanying statements of net assets available for
     benefits in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     The following table reconciles net assets available for benefits per the
     financial statements to the Form 5500 as filed by the Company for the year
     ended December 31, 1998:
