Effective February 24, 2006, Access Diabetic Supply, LLC (Access), a subsidiary of Owens & Minor,the company acquired certain operating assets of a direct-to-consumer distributor of diabetic supplies for $2.3 million in total consideration. The assets acquired consisted primarily of customer relationships.

Effective June 30, 2006, the company acquired a Michigan-based, direct-to-consumer diabetes-supply company for $3.6 million in total consideration. The purchase price is subject to adjustment upon a final determination of the net working capital and total number of customers acquired. A preliminary allocation of the purchase price resulted in approximately $0.3 million of net tangible assets and $3.3 million of intangible assets, which consist primarily of customer relationships. The allocation of the purchase price is expected to be finalized after the valuation of certain acquired assets is complete.

The company acquired Accessentered the direct-to-consumer diabetic supply business on January 31, 2005, and from this date through March 31,June 30, 2006, Accessthe company has completed a series of acquisitions in the direct-to-consumer diabetic supplythis business. For the quartersthree-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005, the direct-to-consumer diabetic supply business contributed $17.8$21.2 million and $8.4$14.5 million of revenue and ($0.3)$0.3 million and $1.4$0.8 million of operating earnings (loss) to the company. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the direct-to-consumer diabetic supply business contributed $39.0 million and $22.9 million of revenue. Operating earnings were $0.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, and $2.2 million for the corresponding period of 2005.

The company maintains stock-based compensation plans (Plans) that provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted common stock and common stock. The Plans are administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors and allow the company to award or grant to officers, directors and employees incentive, non-qualified and deferred compensation stock options, SARs and restricted and unrestricted stock. At March 31,June 30, 2006, approximately 3.03.2 million common shares were available for issuance under the Plans.

Stock options awarded under the Plans are generally subject to graded vesting over three years and expire seven to ten years from the date of grant. The options are granted at a price equal to fair market value at the date of grant. Restricted stock awarded under the Plans generally vests over three or five years. Certain restricted stock grants contain accelerated vesting provisions, based on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria, related to the achievement of certain financial and operational results. At March 31,June 30, 2006, there were no SARs outstanding.

The company has a Management Equity Ownership Program. This program requires each of the company’s officers to own the company’s common stock at specified levels, which gradually increase over five years. Officers and certain other employees who meet specified ownership goals in a given year are awarded restricted stock under the provisions of the program.

The company also awards restricted stock under the Plans to officers and certain other employees based on pre-established objectives.

Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (SFAS) 123(R),Share-Based Payment, a revision of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.SFAS 123(R) also supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. (APB) 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,and amends SFAS 95,Statement of Cash Flows.SFAS 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values, while SFAS 123 as originally issued provided the option of recognizing share-based payments based on their fair values or based on their intrinsic values with pro forma disclosure of the effect of recognizing the payments based on their fair values. The company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method, in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date and are expected to vest. The following table presents the effect of adopting SFAS 123(R) on the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006:operations:

The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material cumulative effect on the company’s financial position or results of operations at January 1, 2006.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the company used the intrinsic value method, as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, to account for stock-based compensation. This method required compensation expense to be recognized for the excess of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or the measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The following table presents the effect on net income and earnings per share had the company used the fair value method to account for stock-based compensation prior to 2006:

The following table summarizes the activity and terms of outstanding options for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the threesecond quarter was $0.1 million and was $2.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 andJune 30, 2006. In 2005, total intrinsic value of options exercised in the second quarter was $2.8$2.7 million and $1.4 million.was $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the threesecond quarter and the first six months ended March 31,of 2006 was $8.42. In 2005, was $6.45. Nothe weighted average fair value of options were granted in the threesecond quarter was $6.84 and in the six months ended March 31, 2006. June 30, was $6.80.

The grant-date fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock over the most recent period of time equal to the expected term of the option. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the option and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior based on historical patterns. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical voluntary termination behavior, as well as an analysis of actual option forfeitures. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2005:following periods:

The expected term is based on the historical average length of time between the date of grant and the date of exercise. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility over the most recent period of time equal to the expected term of the option.

The following table summarizes the activity and terms of nonvested restricted stock for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006:

The weighted average market value per share of restricted stock granted in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $31.05$31.54 and $28.74.$28.93. The total value of restricted stock vested during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $0.5 million and $0.8 million.

Total stock-based compensation expense for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $1.0$2.9 million and $0.5$0.9 million, with recognized tax benefits of $0.4$1.1 million and $0.2$0.4 million. As of March 31,June 30, 2006, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards was $6.2$7.7 million, expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.92.1 years.

Beginning with awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, unearned compensation is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the shorter of the vesting period or the period from the date of grant to the date that the employee is eligible for retirement. For awards issued prior to January 1, 2006, unearned compensation is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. For grants which vest based on certain specified performance criteria, unearned compensation is recognized as compensation expense over the period of performance, once achievement of criteria is deemed probable. Had unearned compensation been recognized in the current manner for grants prior to 2006, stock compensation expense would have been higher by $79$17 thousand and $232$85 thousand for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005, and higher by $96 thousand and $316 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Beginning with the acquisition of Access on January 31, 2005, the company capitalizes the costs of direct-response advertising of its direct-to-consumer diabetic supplies that meet the capitalization requirements of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-7,Reporting on Advertising Costs. For the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005, the company deferred $2.0$2.9 million and $0.8$1.6 million of direct-response advertising costscosts. The company recorded amortization of $0.7 million in the second quarter and $1.2 million in the first six months of 2006 and recorded amortization of $0.5$0.2 million and $35 thousand.in the comparable periods of 2005. At March 31,June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, deferred advertising costs of $5.2$7.4 million and $3.7 million, net of accumulated amortization of $2.1 million and $0.9 million, were included in other assets, net, on the company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Balance, December 31, 2005		$	242,620
Additions due to acquisitions			129
Ending balance		$	242,749

Intangible assets, net, at March 31,June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are as follows:

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $1.7$1.8 million and $0.1$1.5 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005, and $3.4 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Based on the current carrying value of intangible assets subject to amortization, estimated future amortization expense is as follows: Remainder of 2006 - $5.3$3.7 million; 2007 - $5.3$6.0 million; 2008 - $4.2$5.3 million; 2009 - $1.9$2.7 million; 2010 - $0.4$0.8 million.

In April 2006, the company issued $200.0 million of 6.35% Senior Notes maturing on April 15, 2016 (Notes). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, beginning October 15, 2006. The Notes are redeemable at the company’s option, subject to restrictions. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all significant subsidiaries of the company. The net proceeds from the Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to retire the 8 ¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2011 (2011 Notes).

The early retirement of the 2011 Notes resulted in loss of $11.4 million, comprised of $8.0 million of retirement cost in excess of carrying value, a $3.0 million write-off of debt issuance costs, and $0.4 million of fees.

Also in April 2006, the company amended its $250.0 million revolving credit facility in order to reduce the applicable borrowing rates and fees payable, eliminate the borrowing base limitation applicable to borrowings under the revolving credit facility, increase the amount of certain types of indebtedness that can be incurred under the facility and to extend the term of the agreement to May 2011.

8.	Derivative and Hedging Activities

The company generally enters into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The purpose of these swaps is to maintain the company’s desired mix of fixed to floating rate financing and to minimize interest expense related to fixedvariable rate financing. TheIn conjunction with the 2011 Notes, the company had interest rate swap agreements of $100with a $100.0 million notional amountsvalue that effectively converted a portion of the company’s fixed rate financing instruments to variable rates. These swaps were terminated in March 2006. These swaps were designated as fair value hedges of a portion of the company’s 8 ¹/2% Senior Subordinated 10-year Notes due in 2011, and were assumed to have no ineffectiveness under the provisions of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

In March 2006, the company entered into forward contracts to hedge its future interest rate risk associated with the pricing of its April 2006 offering of $200 million of 6.35% Senior Notes (Notes).the Notes. See note 127 for further description of the Notes offering. At March 31, 2006, the fair value of outstanding forward contracts was $0.8 million, included in other assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheet. The contracts were terminated in April 2006, resulting in a gain of $0.8 million that will be recognized in interest expense, net, ratably over the life of the Notes.

In April 2006, in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes, the company entered into interest rate swap agreements, under which the company pays counterparties a variable rate based on LIBOR and the counterparties pay the company a fixed interest rate of 6.35% on a notional amount of $100.0 million, effectively converting one-half of the notes to variable-rate debt. These swaps were designated as fair value hedges and were assumed to have no ineffectiveness under the provisions of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

The components of net periodic pension cost of the company’s retirement plans for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

The company’s comprehensive income for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 and 2005 is shown in the table below:

The following sets forth the computation of net income per basic and diluted net income per common share:

In September 2004, the company received a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) proposing to disallow, effective for the 2001 tax year and all subsequent years, certain reductions in the company’s tax-basis last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation. The proposed adjustment involves the timing of deductions. Management believes that its tax-basis method of LIFO inventory valuation is consistent with a ruling received by the company on this matter from the IRS and is appropriate under the tax law. The company filed an appeal with the IRS in December 2004 and plans to contest the proposed adjustment pursuant to all applicable administrative and legal procedures. If the company were unsuccessful, the adjustment would be effective for the 2001 tax year and all subsequent years, and the company would have to pay a deficiency of approximately $41.6 million in federal, state, and local taxes for tax years through 2005 on which deferred taxes

have been provided, as well as interest, calculated at statutory rates, of approximately $6.8$7.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2006, net of any tax benefits, for which no reserve has been established. No penalties have been proposed. The payment of the deficiency and interest would adversely affect operating cash flow for the full amount of the payment, while the company’s net income and earnings per share would be reduced by the amount of any liability for interest, net of tax. The ultimate resolution of this matter may take several years and a determination adverse to the company could have a material effect on the company’s cash flows and results of operations.

On April 7,Subsequent to June 30, 2006, the company issued $200 million of 6.35% Senior Notes (Notes) which mature on April 15, 2016. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2006. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed onsigned a joint and several basis bydefinitive agreement to acquire certain subsidiariesassets of the acute-care medical and surgical supply distribution business of McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc., a business unit of McKesson Corporation, for approximately $170 million in cash. The acquisition includes inventory estimated at approximately $130 million, acute-care customer contracts and certain fixed assets. The transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close no later than the fourth quarter of 2006.

In July 2006, the company including all significant subsidiaries. Proceeds from the Notes, together with available cash, were usedacquired certain operating assets of a California-based direct-to-consumer distributor of diabetic supplies for approximately $8.1 million in cash.

The increase primarily resulted from a combination of higher sales volume to existing customers, whilewhich accounted for approximately 60% of the year-to-date increase and 50% of the second quarter increase, sales to new healthcare provider customers, accounted for approximately one-fourth30% of the increase. In addition, direct-to-consumer revenue through Access, acquired January 31, 2005, contributed $9.4 million of theincrease in both periods, and growth as Access grew its customer base and three months of sales were included in the first quarterdirect-to-consumer business of 2006, compared to two months of salesapproximately $6.7 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2005.and $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The provision for income taxes was $10.9$7.0 million and $17.8 million in the second quarter and first quartersix months of 2006 compared with $10.3$9.6 million and $19.9 million in the same periodperiods of 2005, representing an2005. The effective tax rate of 39.7%was 40.0% and 39.8% for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2006, compared withto 39.0% for the full year of 2005. The tax rate was lower in 2005 than in the comparable periods of 2006 because of adjustments recorded in the second quarter of 2005 to the company’s reserve for tax liabilities for years no longer subject to audit.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. The company’s liquidity remained strong in the first quartersix months of 2006, as its cash and cash equivalents increased $0.8$2.2 million to $72.7$74.1 million during the quarter.period. In the first quartersix months of 2006, the company generated $21.6$42.1 million of cash flow from operations, compared with $123.0$121.4 million in the first quarterhalf of 2005. Cash flows in both quartersperiods were positively affected by timing of payments for inventory, whileinventory. Cash flows in the first quartersix months of 2005 cash flows were also enhanced by improved collections of accounts receivable and inventory reductions. Cash used for investing activities decreased from $64.1$76.2 million in the first quartersix months of 2005 to $8.6$17.5 million in the first quarterhalf of 2006, as the company paid $57.9$60.6 million in the first quarterhalf of 2005 to purchase Access.fund acquisitions. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2006, were 25.524.9 days, improved from 26.3 days at December 31, 2005, but up slightly from 24.424.8 days at March 31,June 30, 2005. Inventory turnover remained consistent at 10.3decreased to 10.1 in the second quarter of 2006 from 10.7 in the second quarter of 2005 primarily due to new customer growth.

The company’s financing activities used $22.4 million of cash in the first quarterssix months of both 2006 and 2005.

Subsequentprimarily due to the first quarter, on April 7, 2006,payment of dividends and the early retirement of debt. The company issued $200 million of 6.35% Senior Notes (Notes) maturing April 15, 2016. The net proceeds from thesethe Notes, together with available cash, were used to retire substantially all of the company’s $200 million of 8 ¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes. Interest on the Notes will be paid semiannually on April 15 and October 15, beginning October 15, 2006. The company received an investment grade rating of “BBB-” from Fitch Ratings for the new Notes and an investment grade rating of “BBB-” from Standard & Poor’s, consistent with its existing corporate credit rating, and a rating of “Ba2” from Moody’s.

In March 2006, in anticipation of the Notes offering, the company entered into $100 million notional amount of forward contracts designated to hedge the interest rate risk related to the pricing of the offering. These contracts were terminated onin April 3, 2006, resulting in a gain of $0.8 million that will be recognized as a reduction of interest expense, net, over the life of the Notes.

In conjunction with the Notes, the company entered into interest rate swap agreements in April 2006, under which the company pays counterparties a variable rate based on LIBOR and the counterparties pay the company a fixed interest rate of 6.35% on a notional amount of $100 million, effectively converting one-half of the notes to variable-rate debt. These swaps were designated as fair value hedges and were assumed to have no ineffectiveness under the provisions of SFAS No. 133,

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In addition, effective April 3, 2006, the company amended its $250 million revolving credit facility, extending its expiration to May 3, 2011.

On July 11, 2006, the company announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets of the acute-care medical surgical supply distribution business of McKesson Corporation for approximately $170 million. The company intends to fund this acquisition with available credit under its revolving credit facility and cash balances on hand.

The company expects thatbelieves its available financing sources subsequent to this acquisition will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs and long-term strategic growth, although this cannot be assured. At March 31,June 30, 2006, the company had $237.8 million of available credit under its revolving credit facility.

Capital Expenditures.Expenditures. Capital expenditures were $6.4$11.2 million in the first quartersix months of 2006, compared to $6.2$15.6 million in the first quarterhalf of 2005. Construction of the corporate headquarters facility was completed in the first quarter of 2006.

Adoption of SFAS 123(R),Share-Based Payment

Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R),Share-Based Payment, a revision of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.SFAS 123R also supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. (APB) 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,and amends SFAS 95,Statement of Cash Flows.SFAS 123R requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values, while SFAS 123 as originally issued provided the option of recognizing share-based payments based on their fair values or based on their intrinsic values with pro forma disclosure of the effect of recognizing the payments based on their fair values.

The company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation expense for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006, is recognized based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R), while compensation expense for all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested as of that date, is recognized based on the requirements of SFAS 123.

As permitted by SFAS 123, the company used the intrinsic value method as defined by APB 25 to account for share-based payments prior to January 1, 2006. As a result, the adoption of SFAS 123(R)

had, and is expected to continue to have, a material effect on the company’s results of operations, although it will not materially affect the company’s overall financial position. As the amount of expense to be recognized in future periods will depend on the levels of future grants, the effect of adoption of SFAS 123(R) cannot be predicted with certainty. However, had the company adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the effect of adoption would have approximated the effect of using the fair value method, as defined in SFAS 123, to account for share-based payment as disclosed in Note 4 to the company’s consolidated financial statements under the caption “Stock-Based Compensation.” ForSG&A expenses were $1.2 million higher in the second quarter and $1.6 million higher in the first quartersix months of 2006 selling, general and administrative expenses were $449 thousand higher than would have been recorded without the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as financing cash flows, rather than as operating cash flows as required prior to adoption. This requirement reduced net operating cash flows and increased net financing cash flows for the first quarterhalf of 2006 by $1.2 million. The company cannot estimate what these amounts will be in the future, as they depend on a number of factors including the timing of employee exercises of stock options and

the value of the company’s stock at the date of those exercises. However, had the company adopted SFAS 123(R) previously, the amount of cash flows recognized as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows for such excess tax deductions would have been $0.6$1.4 million in the first quartersix months of 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The company is currently assessing the potential impact of the interpretation on its financial statements.

Forward-looking Statements

Certain statements in this discussion constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although O&M believes its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied by these statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, including, but not limited to:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

O&M provides credit, in the normal course of business, to its customers. The company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for credit losses.

The company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates related to its interest rate swaps and revolving credit facility. As of March 31,June 30, 2006, the company had $100 million notional amount of forward contracts designated to hedge the interest rate risk related to the pricing of its Notes offering. These contracts were terminated on April 3, 2006. Therefore, no market risk related to these instruments exists as of the date of this filing.

Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the company entered into interest rate swap agreements in April 2006swaps under which the company pays counterparties a variable rate based on LIBOR and the counterparties pay the company a fixed interest rate of 6.35% on a notional amount of $100 million. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $1.0 million per year in connection with the swaps.

The company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates related to its revolving credit facility. The company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility at March 31,June 30, 2006. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $0.1 million per year for every $10 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
