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, 1999 and
1998 and the related  statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year  ended  December  31,  1999.  These  financial  statements  and the
schedule referred to below are the  responsibility of the Plan's  administrator.
Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements and
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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,  1999 and 1998 and the  changes  in its net assets  available  for
benefits for the year ended  December  31, 1999 in  conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial  statements  taken  as a  whole.  The  schedule  of  assets  held  for
investment  purposes is presented for the purpose of additional  analysis and is
not a  required  part of the basic  financial  statements  but is  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 schedule has 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.

                           PROFIT SHARING 401(k) PLAN

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULE

                           DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

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").  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 August 1, 1999, the Plan was amended to establish two separate trusts
(a "Primary Trust" and a "Company Stock Fund Trust") for the purpose of
maintaining, managing, investing, and reinvesting the Plan's assets.  The Chase
Manhattan Bank was appointed as the Plan's trustee for the Primary Trust and the
Northwestern Trust and Investors Advisory Company was appointed as the Plan's
trustee for the Company Stock Fund Trust.  The Plan was also amended and
restated to appoint Metropolitan Life Insurance Company as the record keeper.

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

Participants may direct contributions and any related earnings into ten
investment options, all with different objectives.

Benefits Paid to Participants

Upon retirement,  death, disability, or termination of service, a participant or
his/her 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.

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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the
accompanying financial statements and disclosures.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative  expenses  paid by the  Company  were  approximately  $20,000 and
$14,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Net Appreciation in Fair Value of Investments

Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments and changes in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) are recorded in the accompanying statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits as net appreciation in fair value
of investments.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, as determined by quoted market
prices.  Investment income is recorded when earned.

Reclassification

The Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position
("SOP") 99-3 "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan
Investments and Other Disclosure Matters," which eliminates the requirement for
a defined contribution plan to disclose participant-directed investment
programs.  SOP 99-3 was adopted for the 1999 financial statements and as such,
the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to eliminate the
participant-directed fund investment program disclosures.

3.  INVESTMENTS

The following  presents the participant-directed investments that represent 5%
or more of the Plan's net assets:

                                                                   1999
                                                               ----------
Janus Balanced Fund                                            $2,380,116
Janus Fund                                                        573,974
PSS World Medical, Inc. common stock (34,233 shares)              323,080
American Century Ultra Fund                                       294,393
Manager's Special Equity Fund                                     226,528


                                                                   1998
                                                               ----------
American Balanced Fund                                         $2,229,603
The Kaufmann Fund                                                 298,365
PSS World Medical, Inc. common stock (12,029 shares)              276,660
Washington Mutual Investors Fund                                  272,224
Enterprise Group of Funds                                         215,550


During 1999, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments
bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in value by
$384,507 as follows:

                          Mutual funds             $616,252
                          Common stock             (231,745)



4.  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 ("IRC").  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 IRC.  Therefore,  the plan  administrator  believes that the
Plan was  qualified  and the related  trust was  tax-exempt  as of the financial
statement dates.

5.  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
IRC. Upon  termination of the Plan, the trustee shall pay all liabilities  and
expenses of the trust fund.

6.  RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500

As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Plan had $0 and $3,056,  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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

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, 1999:

7.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these
transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.  In addition, certain
plan investments are shares of common stock of the Company managed by
Northwestern Trust and Investors Advisory Company, as defined by the Plan, and
therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.  The
Plan purchased 29,178 shares of common stock for $374,817 and sold 3,469 shares
of common stock for $35,127 for the year ended December 31, 1999.


8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 31, 1999, the board of directors of the Company elected to merge the
Plan into the PSS World Medical, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan
(the "PSS Plan").  The assets of the Plan were merged with the assets of the PSS
Plan effective April 20, 2000.

The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 21, 2000
with Fisher Scientific International, Inc. ("Fisher"), pursuant to which the
Company and Fisher will combine business operations and the Company will become
a wholly owned subsidiary of Fisher.  The merger is subject to various
conditions, including approval of shareholders of the Company and Fisher,
