CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Management may from time-to-time make written or oral statements with respect to the Company’s annual or long-term goals, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008, Reports on Form 8-K, and reports to shareholders that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning, and subject to the protections of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those currently anticipated or projected. Management cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any of the Company’s forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “could,” “assumes,” “should,” “indicates,” “projects,” “targets” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that involve risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:
• | Management’s expectation that cash flows from operations, in conjunction with borrowings under the revolving line of credit, capital markets, and/or other financing arrangements will fund future working capital needs, capital expenditures, and the overall growth in the business; and its belief that the Company continues to be well positioned to weather the current crisis in the financial markets; |
• | Management’s expectation to use up to $150 million of the net proceeds from its August 4, 2008 debt issuance on or before March 15, 2024, when holders of the notes have the option to require the Company to redeem all or part of the outstanding 2.25% notes, with remaining proceeds used for general corporate purposes; |
• | Management’s belief that the outcome of legal proceedings or claims which are pending or known to be threatened will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations; |
• | Management’s expectation that remaining Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized prior to their expiration date |
In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, management is identifying important factors that could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements about the Company’s goals or expectations. The Company’s future results could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including those discussed in Item 1A-Risk Factors in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q. In addition, all forward-looking statements that are made by or attributable to the Company are qualified in their entirety by and should be read in conjunction with this cautionary notice and the risks described or referred to in Item 1A-Risk Factors of the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q. The Company has no obligation to and does not undertake to update, revise, or correct any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report, or after the respective dates on which such statements are made.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 2, 2009 AND DECEMBER 28, 2007
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data, Unless Otherwise Noted)
1. | BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the consolidated accounts of PSS World Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company conducts business through two operating segments, the Physician Business and the Elder Care Business. These strategic segments serve a broad customer base. A third segment, Corporate Shared Services, includes allocated and unallocated costs of corporate departments which support the operating activities and various initiatives of the operating segments, and engage in certain other operating activities.
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 28, 2008 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008, except as noted in theReclassificationsection, below. The financial statements and related notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008.
The Company reports its year-end and quarter-end financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the Friday closest to calendar month end, determined using the number of business days. Fiscal years 2009 and 2008 each consist of 52 weeks or 253 selling days, respectively. The three and nine months ended January 2, 2009 consisted of 66 and 193 selling days, respectively, while the three and nine months ended December 28, 2007 consisted of 62 and 189 selling days, respectively.
The results of operations for the interim periods covered by this report may not be indicative of operating results for the full fiscal year or any other interim periods.
Reclassification
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company corrected the classification of it’s 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes at March 28, 2008 from long-term debt to short-term debt, reflecting the one-day put option afforded to the holders of the notes on March 15, 2009 in accordance with the terms thereof. See Footnote 3,Debt, for additional information regarding the note holders’ put option. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99,Materiality, and SAB 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,the Company evaluated the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the adjustment and determined the correction was not material. There was no impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flow statements for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008.
Additionally, certain items previously reported in combined financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. In particular, “Other current assets” and “Prepaid expenses” previously presented combined have been presented separate in the Unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 2, 2009 AND DECEMBER 28, 2007
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data, Unless Otherwise Noted)
Marketable Securities
The Company reports marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities(“SFAS 115”). The equity securities held by the Company at January 2, 2009 are classified as available-for-sale securities. Accordingly, amounts are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a component of shareholder’s equity. See Footnotes 2, 4 and 9,Equity Investment,Comprehensive Income, andFair Value Measurements, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements by establishing a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on March 29, 2008 and adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. FSP SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP SFAS 157-2”), delays the effective date of SFAS 157 with respect to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2010. Accordingly, the Company has not yet applied the requirements of SFAS 157 to certain such nonfinancial assets for which fair value measurements are determined only when there is an indication of potential impairment.
During February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB SFAS 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 mandates certain financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements when a company elects to report assets and liabilities at fair value under SFAS 159. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on March 29, 2008 and adoption did not have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the disclosure requirements under FASB Statement No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangibles. FSP 142-3 requires that an entity consider its historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements in determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. Determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FSP 142-3 applies prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements of FSP 142-3 will be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2010, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of FSP 142-3 is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the effect, if any, the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1
6
Table of Contents
requires entities with convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects an estimate of the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest expense is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2010. Entities are required to apply FSP APB 14-1 retrospectively for all periods presented. Upon adoption, the Company estimates FSP APB 14-1 will increase non-cash interest expense by $10.9 million (or approximately $6.7 million after-tax) and $7.7 million (or approximately $4.7 million after-tax) for fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2010, respectively.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5,Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2010. This pronouncement will not effect future reporting periods, as the Company currently accounts for their financial instruments under the guidance set forth by EITF 07-5.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company repurchases its common stock under stock repurchase programs authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of March 28, 2008, there were 0.4 million shares available for repurchase under existing stock repurchase programs. On April 2, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company, depending upon market conditions and other factors, to repurchase up to a maximum of 5% of its common stock, or approximately 3.1 million common shares, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During the nine months ended January 2, 2009, primarily in connection with the debt offering, the Company repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $16.67 per common share for approximately $35.7 million. At January 2, 2009, approximately 1.4 million shares were available for repurchase under this program. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date.
The following table summarizes the common stock repurchases and Board of Directors authorizations during the period from March 28, 2008 to January 2, 2009:

2. | EQUITY INVESTMENT |
On June 29, 2007, the Company invested $24,064 (including $1,564 of legal and other professional fees) in athenahealth, Inc. (“athena”), a leading provider of internet-based healthcare information technology and business services to physician practices. The Company classifies this investment as “available-for-sale” in accordance with SFAS 115. This investment was marked-to-market based on quoted market prices as of January 2, 2009. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company sold a portion of its investment in athena, resulting in a gain of approximately $444, or $275 net of tax. Proceeds of $22,099 were received during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 related to the sale of athena stock during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.
As of January 2, 2009, the aggregate fair value of the remaining investment is $15,333. During the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, the Company recorded a net unrealized holding loss of $737, of which $457 was

Revolving Line of Credit
The Company had $50.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit at January 2, 2009. The Credit Agreement permits maximum borrowings of up to $200.0 million, which may be increased to $250.0 million at the Company’s discretion. After reducing availability for outstanding borrowings and letter of credit commitments, the Company had sufficient assets based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory to borrow up to $149.2 million (excluding the additional increase of $50.0 million) under the revolving line of credit. The average daily interest rate, excluding debt issuance costs and unused line fees, for the three months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 was 4.30% and 6.51%. The average daily interest rate, excluding debt issuance costs and unused line fees, for the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 was 4.09% and 6.88%. This decrease in rates relates to the use of an interest rate swap agreement during fiscal year 2009, as discussed below.
On February 14, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement which matures on February 19, 2010. The purpose of this swap agreement was to hedge the variable interest rate of the revolving line of credit. The notional amount of the swap is $50.0 million. The interest rate swap effectively fixed the interest rate on a portion of the revolving line of credit to 2.70%, plus an applicable credit spread as determined by the Credit Agreement.
The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,and SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.Therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying Consolidated balance sheets. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company makes monthly payments based on the fixed rate and receives interest payments based on 1-month LIBOR. The changes in market value of this financial instrument are highly correlated with changes in market value of the hedged item both at inception and over the life of the agreement. Amounts received or paid under the interest rate swap agreement are recorded as reductions or additions to interest expense. The unrealized holding loss on the interest rate swap for the three months ended January 2, 2009 represents the fair value adjustment of $1,363, of which $845 is recorded in other comprehensive income net of related income taxes of $518. The unrealized holding loss on the interest rate swap for the nine months ended January 2, 2009 represents the fair value adjustment of $731, of which $453 is recorded in other comprehensive income net of related income taxes of $278.

2.25% Convertible Senior Notes
During fiscal year 2004, the Company issued $150.0 million principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes, which mature on March 15, 2024. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. Contingent interest is also payable during any six-month interest period, beginning with the six-month interest period commencing on March 15, 2009, if the average trading price of the notes for the five trading days ending on the second trading day immediately preceding such six-month interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the notes. The amount of contingent interest payable per note in respect of any six-month interest period is equal to 0.25% of the average trading price of a note for the trading period referenced above.
The notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock under the following circumstances: (i) prior to March 15, 2019, during any calendar quarter that the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending the day prior to such quarter is greater than 120% of the applicable conversion price of $17.10 per share; (ii) if on any date after March 15, 2019, the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock is greater than 120% of the then applicable conversion price; (iii) during the five consecutive business day period following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price for a note for each day of that trading period is less than 98% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such corresponding trading day multiplied by the applicable conversion rate, provided that if the price of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion is between 100% and 120% of the applicable conversion price, then holders will be entitled to receive upon conversion only the value of the principal amount of the notes converted plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, if any; (iv) if the Company has called the notes for redemption; (v) during any period in which the Company’s long-term issuer rating assigned by Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) is at or below Caa1 or the corporate credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) is at or below B-, or if the Company is no longer rated by at least one of S&P or Moody’s; or (vi) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions described in the indenture governing the notes. The initial conversion rate is 58.4949 shares of common stock per each $1 (in thousands) principal amount of notes and is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $17.10 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur, such as stock dividends or other distributions of cash, securities, indebtedness or assets; stock splits and combinations; issuances of rights or warrants; tender offers; or repurchases. Upon conversion, the Company has the right to deliver, in lieu of common stock, cash or a combination of cash and common stock. The Company’s stated policy is to satisfy the Company’s obligation upon a conversion of the notes first, in cash, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the notes converted and second, in shares of the Company’s common stock, to satisfy the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation.
As of January 2, 2009, the fair value of the 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes was approximately $167.9 million.
The ability of note holders to convert is assessed on a quarterly basis and is dependent on the trading price of the Company’s stock during the last 30 trading days of each quarter. The Contingent Conversion Trigger was not met during the three months ended January 2, 2009.
On each of March 15, 2009, March 15, 2014, and March 15, 2019, holders of the 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes have the option to require the Company to purchase the notes at 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, and other considerations, including contingent interest, if applicable (“put option”). As such, the 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes have been classified as short-term debt on the Company’s Unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2009. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company corrected the classification of its 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes at March 28, 2008 from long-term debt to short-term debt. See Footnote 1,Background and Basis of Presentation, for additional information.
On or after March 15, 2009, the Company has the right to redeem the notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and other considerations, including contingent interest and liquidated damages, if any or applicable.

Table of Contents
As of January 2, 2009, the Company has a deferred income tax liability of $15,058 (tax effected) related to interest deductions taken for tax purposes on its 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes. The ultimate tax liability will be dependent on the Company’s stock price at the time of settlement and will range from $0.00 to $17.0 million. Any such liability will be paid in the fiscal quarter following settlement and reflected in operating cash flows. Amounts paid, if any, would not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.
3.125% Convertible Senior Notes
In August 2008, the Company issued $230.0 million principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes, which mature on August 1, 2014. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The notes will be convertible into cash up to the principal amount of the notes and shares of the Company’s common stock for any conversion value in excess of the principal amount under the following circumstances: (i) if the Company has called the notes for redemption; (ii) in the event of a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, such as a merger, acquisition, or liquidation; (iii) on or after May 1, 2014 and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding August 1, 2014; (iv) prior to May 1, 2014, during the five consecutive business day period following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price for a note for each day of that trading period is less than 98% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such corresponding trading day multiplied by the applicable conversion rate; (v) prior to May 1, 2014, during any calendar quarter after September 30, 2008 in which the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending the day prior to such quarter is greater than 130% of the applicable conversion price of $21.22 per share; or (vi) upon certain specified corporate events as discussed in the indenture governing the notes.
A note holder may not exercise its conversion right with respect to all or any portion of a note, if such conversion would cause the note holder to become a beneficial owner of more than 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock. The initial conversion rate is 47.1342 shares of common stock per each $1 (in thousands) principal amount of notes and is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $21.22 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
As of January 2, 2009, the fair value of the 3.125% $230.0 million convertible senior notes was approximately $237.1 million.
The ability of note holders to convert is assessed on a quarterly basis and is dependent on the trading price of the Company’s stock during the last 30 trading days of each quarter. The Contingent Conversion Trigger was not met during the three months ended January 2, 2009; therefore, the notes may not be converted during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repurchase approximately $35.0 million of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions with institutional investors concurrently with this offering. See Stock Repurchase Program in Footnote 1,Background and Basis of Presentation, for additional information. The Company anticipates using up to $150.0 million of the net proceeds on or before March 15, 2024, when holders of the notes have the option, as described above, to require the Company to redeem all or part of the outstanding 2.25% notes. Remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Convertible Note Hedge Transactions
In connection with the offering of the notes, the Company also entered into convertible note hedge transactions with respect to its common stock (the “purchased options”) with a major financial institution (the “counterparty”). The Company paid an aggregate amount of $54.1 million to the counterparty for the purchased options. The purchased options cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially identical to those in the notes, approximately 10.8 million shares of common stock at a strike price that corresponds to the initial conversion price of the notes, also subject to adjustment, and are exercisable at each conversion date of the notes. The purchased options will expire upon the earlier of (i) the last day the notes remain outstanding or (ii) the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes.
The purchased options are intended to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the notes in the event that the market value per share of the common stock, as measured under the notes, at the time of exercise is greater than the
10
Table of Contents
conversion price of the notes. The options have been accounted for as an adjustment to the Company’s stockholders’ equity, net of deferred tax assets of $20,993, recorded in Other long term assets on the Unaudited condensed consolidate balance sheets.
The purchased options are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the counterparty, and are not part of the terms of the notes. Holders of the notes will not have any rights with respect to the purchased options.
Warrant Transactions
The Company also entered into warrant transactions (the “warrants”), whereby the Company sold to the counterparty warrants in an aggregate amount of $25.4 million to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, up to 10.8 million shares of common stock at a strike price of $28.29 per share of common stock, also subject to adjustment. The warrants will expire after the purchased options in approximately ratable portions on a series of expiration dates commencing on November 3, 2015.
If the market value per share of the common stock, as measured under the warrants, exceeds the strike price of the warrants, the warrants will have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share. The warrants have been accounted for as an adjustment to the Company’s stockholders’ equity.
The warrants are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the notes. Holders of the notes do not have any rights with respect to the warrants.

5. | EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Basic and diluted earnings per share are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128,Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method and the potential impact of outstanding convertible senior notes. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an antidilutive effect.

(b) | The assumed conversion of the 3.125% convertible notes was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009 as their inclusion would be antidilutive. |
6. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and non-employee directors. The Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost as compensation expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the awards vesting period. The Company’s stock-based compensation expense is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Total stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 was approximately $1,444 and $942, respectively, with related income tax benefits of $549 and $358, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 was approximately $5,593 and $2,369, respectively, with related income tax benefits of $2,125 and $887, respectively.
The Company’s Unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows present the stock-based compensation expense as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash used in operating activities for all periods presented. Income tax benefits of $1,664 and $1,270 associated with tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense are presented as a cash inflow from financing activities for the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, respectively.

Stock Option Awards
On June 6, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a retention award of 200,000 stock options under the Company’s 2006 Incentive Stock Plan to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The stock options awarded will cliff-vest on the five-year anniversary of the grant date.
The fair value of stock options granted was estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
2009 | |||
Expected dividend yield | — | ||
Expected stock price volatility | 29 | % | |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.75 | % | |
Expected term of options (years) | 10 |
Based on these assumptions, the estimated fair value of the options granted during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was approximately $1,481.
As of January 2, 2009, there was $1,308 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.5 years.
Restricted Stock Awards
The Company issues (i) restricted stock which vests based on the recipient’s continued service over time (“Time-Based Awards”) and (ii) restricted stock or restricted stock units which vest based on the Company achieving specified performance measurements (“Performance-Based Awards”).
Time-Based Awards
The Company measures the fair value of Time-Based Awards on the date of grant based on the closing stock price. The related compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis net of estimated forfeitures over the vesting period, which normally ranges from 2 to 5 years.
Performance-Based Awards
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), approved awards of performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance Shares”) and performance-accelerated restricted stock (“PARS”) to the Company’s top six officers. These awards were granted under the Company’s 2006 Incentive Plan.
The Performance Shares will vest after three years and convert to shares of common stock based on the Company’s achievement of certain cumulative earnings per share growth targets, the calculation of
13
Table of Contents
which will not be impacted by any change in generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by standard setting bodies. These awards, which are denominated in terms of a target number of shares, will be forfeited if performance falls below a designated threshold level and may vest for up to 250% of the target number of shares for exceptional performance. The ultimate number of shares delivered to recipients and the related compensation cost recognized as expense will be based on actual performance.
The PARS awards will vest on the five-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to accelerated vesting after three years if the Company achieves a cumulative earnings per share growth target, the calculation of which will not be impacted by any change in generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by standard setting bodies. The Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost as compensation expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the awards’ vesting period of five years based on the Company’s estimate of its cumulative earnings per share growth rate. This estimate may be adjusted in future periods based on actual experience and changes in management assumptions.
As of January 2, 2009, there was $16,591 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock units granted under the stock incentive plans. The compensation cost related to these non-vested restricted stock grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.3 years.
7. | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic businesses that offer different products to different segments of the healthcare industry, and are the basis on which management regularly evaluates the Company. These segments are managed separately based on different customers and products. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based primarily on net sales and income from operations. Corporate Shared Services allocates amounts to the two operating segments for shared operating costs and interest expense. The allocation of shared operating costs is generally proportional to the revenues of each operating segment. Interest expense is allocated based on internally calculated carrying value of historical capital used to acquire or develop the operating segments’ operations. The following tables present financial information about the Company’s business segments:

Litigation
The Company is party to various legal and administrative proceedings and claims arising in the normal course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, the Company believes the outcome of proceedings or claims which are pending or known to be threatened will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
The Company has various insurance policies, including product liability insurance, covering risks and in amounts it considers adequate. In many cases in which the Company has been sued in connection with products manufactured by others, the Company is provided indemnification by the manufacturer. There can be no assurance that the insurance coverage maintained by the Company is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost, or that indemnification agreements will provide adequate protection for the Company, including agreements with foreign vendors.
Purchase Commitments
During fiscal year 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a minimum number of latex and vinyl gloves through February 2010. The pricing of the latex gloves may be periodically adjusted and is based on the price of raw latex as traded on the Malaysian Rubber Exchange. The pricing of the vinyl gloves may also be periodically adjusted and is based on the weighted price of two raw materials, Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and Dioctylphthalate (DOP), as published onwww.icis.com. These purchase commitments are valued at approximately $11,683 at January 2, 2009 based on management’s estimate of current pricing.
During October 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive distributor agreement with a supplier to purchase certain chemistry analyzers through September 2009. As of January 2, 2009, the purchase commitment was valued at approximately $1,492.
Commitments and Other Contingencies
The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers which provide that in the event of their termination or resignation, under certain conditions, the Company may be required to pay severance to the executive officers in amounts ranging from one-fourth to two times their base salary and target annual bonus. In the event that a termination or resignation follows or is in connection with a change in control, the Company may be required to pay severance to the executive officers in amounts ranging from three-fourths to three times their base salary and target annual bonus. The Company may also be required to continue welfare benefit plan coverage for the executive officers following a termination or resignation for a period ranging from three months to three years.

9. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
As discussed in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section of Footnote 1,Background and Basis of Presentation, the Company adopted SFAS 157 (as impacted by FSP 157-2) effective March 29, 2008, with respect to fair value measurements of (i) nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) and (ii) all financial assets and liabilities.
SFAS 157 provides a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value summarized as follows:
Level 1: Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
THE COMPANY
PSS World Medical, Inc. (the “Company” or “PSSI”), a Florida corporation which began operations in 1983, is a national distributor of medical products, equipment, billing services and pharmaceutical related products to alternate-site healthcare providers including physician offices, long-term care and assisted living facilities, home health care and hospice providers through 39 full-service distribution centers, which serve all 50 states throughout the United States. The Company currently conducts business through two operating segments, the Physician Business and the Elder Care Business, which serve a diverse customer base.
PSSI is a market-leading company in the two alternate-site segments it serves as a result of value-added, solutions-based marketing programs; a differentiated customer distribution and service model; a consultative sales force with extensive product, disease state, reimbursement, and supply chain knowledge; unique arrangements with manufacturers; a full line of Select™ and specialty brand products; innovative information systems and technology that serve its core markets; innovative marketing programs; and a culture of performance.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company continued profitable growth despite the volatile economic environment. During the quarter, net sales grew 11.6% at the consolidated level and 9.4% and 16.7% in the Physician and Elder Care Businesses, respectively, when compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. This was due to continued progress in the Company’s sales growth initiatives and four additional selling days during the current period. While there were four additional selling days during the current period, fiscal year 2008 and 2009 both consist of 253 selling days. Although average daily net sales grew during the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009 compared to prior year, sales per billing day growth has slowed during the three months ended January 2, 2009, attributable to a general downturn in the overall economy.
The Company recognized sales growth throughout all product lines within the Physician Business and across each customer segment within the Elder Care Business during the third quarter and year-to-date periods compared to the prior year. Select brand product sales grew 17.2% and 39.5% during the quarter and 18.1% and 30.1% during the year-to-date period in the Physician and Elder Care Businesses, respectively, which reflects the Company’s efforts to promote its globally-sourced brand through sales and marketing initiatives.
Income from operations of $31.8 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 increased 31.7% or $7.7 million compared with the same period in prior year and increased 17.8% or $11.2 million to $74.3 million for the nine months ended January 2, 2009 compared to the prior year period. This was primarily the result of the net sales growth discussed above offset by increases in general and administrative expenses.
Cash flow from operations during the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009 was approximately $(6.9) and $45.4 million, respectively. Operating income growth offset by an investment in inventory and timing of an income tax payment resulted in negative operating cash flow during the current quarter.
With the tightening of business and consumer credit markets, the Company remains focused on credit management and the collection of its receivable balances, with additional investments in credit and collections training and continued focus on aged balances. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, days sales outstanding decreased from 42.4 days to 39.4 days in the Physician Business and from 50.2 days to 49.2 days in the Elder Care business, when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

The following significant event impacted the Company during the nine months ended January 2, 2009.
3.125% Convertible Senior Notes Offering
During the nine months ended January 2, 2009, the Company issued $230.0 million principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repurchase approximately $35.0 million of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions with institutional investors concurrent with this offering. The Company also entered into convertible note hedge transactions with the initial purchaser and/or its affiliates and, separately, sold warrants to the initial purchaser and/or its affiliates. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering, and of the warrants it sold, to pay the costs of its hedge transactions. The Company anticipates using up to $150.0 million of the net proceeds on or before March 15, 2024, when holders of the notes have the option to require the Company to redeem all or part of the outstanding 2.25% notes. Remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. See Footnote 3,Debt, for additional information.

Net sales growth during the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009 was primarily driven by continued momentum in the consumable, equipment, pharmaceutical sales growth programs, in conjunction with extra selling days during the periods. Select product sales increased during the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009 due to the Company’s continued focus on promoting its globally-sourced Select products, which resulted in new customer sales as well as customer conversions from other manufacturer branded products to Select brand products. In spite of these conversions, branded product sales experienced an increase in volume resulting in period over period growth.
Pharmaceutical sales increased primarily as a result of growth in the Company’s non-controlled drugs product line and, in part, to the introduction of additional products to the Company’s offering during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company reentered the influenza vaccine market on an agency basis during fiscal year 2009. As such, the Company is relieved from inventory risk and recognizes fees received from its supplier on a net revenue recognition basis. Influenza vaccine sales contributed approximately $1.2 million and $2.4 million to revenue and gross profit during the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009.

market and other non-facilities based care and equipment providers. In addition, the nursing home and assisted living segment grew primarily from increased penetration into independent skilled nursing facilities, where sales grew 22.2% and 14.4% during the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Across its Elder Care customer segments, Select product sales increased 39.5% and 30.1% during the three and nine months ended January 2, 2009, when compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the Company’s focus on promoting its globally sourced products.

General and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended January 2, 2009, when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was attributable to (i) an increase of $1.5 million in payroll related expenses related to general merit increases and headcount increases in support of strategic growth initiatives and (ii) an increase of $1.3 million in bonus expense for the quarter, related to a combination of new incentive compensation plans introduced during fiscal year 2009 and operating performance.
General and administrative expenses increased during the nine months ended January 2, 2009, when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of $3.8 million in bonus expense for the year related to a combination of new incentive compensation plans introduced during fiscal year 2009 and operating performance; (ii) an increase of $3.3 million in payroll related charges; (iii) an increase of $1.3 million due to additional National Meeting expenses; and (iv) an increase of $1.0 million for relocation expenses due to the Company’s realignment of its organizational structure from four regions to six regions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 was primarily the result of overall operating profits partially offset by investments in operational working capital of approximately $28.5 million, which includes investments in inventory made during the quarter.
Cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 include the utilization of $1.0 million and $0.2 million (tax-effected), respectively, of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards to offset cash payments due for Federal and state tax liabilities based on estimated taxable income. Cash flows from operating activities were also impacted by cash payments made and refunds received for Federal and state taxes.
As of January 2, 2009, the Company has $6.5 million (tax effected) of Federal and state NOL carryforwards and expects to utilize the remaining NOL carryforwards prior to their expiration date. Of the total NOL carryforwards, $4.6 relates to the acquisition of Activus Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and are expected to be utilized over the next 20 fiscal years.
As of January 2, 2009, the Company has a deferred income tax liability of $15.1 (tax effected) related to interest deductions taken for tax purposes on its 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes. The ultimate tax liability will be dependent on the Company’s stock price at the time of settlement and will range from $0.0 to $17.0 million. Any such liability will be paid in the fiscal quarter following settlement and reflected in operating cash flows. Amounts paid, if any, will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

Net cash provided (used) by investing activities was $1.1 million and $(50.4) million during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, respectively, and was primarily impacted by the following factors:
• | On June 29, 2007, the Company acquired approximately a 5% equity ownership in athenahealth, Inc. for $24.1 million, including $1.6 million of legal and other professional fees, all of which was paid during the nine months ended December 28, 2007. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company sold a portion of its investment in athena, resulting in a gain of approximately $0.4 million, $0.3 million net of tax. Proceeds of $22.1 million were received during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 related to the sale of athena stock during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. |

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided (used) by financing activities was $147.1 million and $(27.0) million during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, respectively. Net cash provided or used by financing activities during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, respectively, were mainly impacted by the following factors:
• | The Company issued $230.0 million of 3.125% convertible senior notes during the nine months ended January 2, 2009. In conjunction with this offering the Company received $25.4 million from the issuance of warrants, paid $54.1 million for the purchase of a convertible note hedge, and paid debt issuance costs of approximately $5.1 million. |
• | The Company repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $16.67 per common share for approximately $35.7 million concurrently with the convertible debt offering.

• | The Company made net repayments of $20.0 million on its revolving line of credit during the nine months ended January 2, 2009. The Company borrowed approximately $32.6 million on its revolving line of credit during the nine months ended December 28, 2007. |
Capital Resources
The capital and credit markets have recently experienced adverse conditions. The resulting restricted access to capital along with significant volatility within capital markets have increased the costs associated with issuing or refinancing debt because of increased risk spreads over relevant interest rate benchmarks. The Company continues to be well positioned to weather the current crisis in the financial markets, however, there can be no guarantee the recent disruptions in the overall economy and the financial markets will not adversely impact the business and results of operations.
The Company’s three main sources of capital are the proceeds from the 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes offering, proceeds from the 3.125% $230.0 million convertible senior notes offering, and the $200.0 million revolving line of credit. These instruments provide the financial resources to support the business strategies of customer service and revenue growth. The revolving line of credit, which is an asset-based agreement, is primarily collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. The Company’s long-term priorities for use of capital are internal growth, acquisitions, and repurchase of the Company’s common stock.
2.25% $150 Million Convertible Senior Notes
The 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to March 15, 2019, during any calendar quarter that the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending the day prior to such quarter is greater than 120% of the applicable conversion price of $17.10 per share (or $20.51 per share) (“Contingent Conversion Trigger”). The ability of note holders to convert is assessed on a quarterly basis. The Contingent Conversion Trigger was not met during the three months ended January 2, 2009.
On each of March 15, 2009, March 15, 2014 and March 15, 2019, holders of the 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes have the option to require the Company to purchase notes at 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, and other considerations, including contingent interest, if applicable.
On or after March 15, 2009, the Company at any time has the right to redeem the notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and other considerations, including contingent interest, if applicable.
As of January 2, 2009, the fair value of the 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes was approximately $167.9 million.
As of January 2, 2009, the Company has a deferred income tax liability of $15.1 million (tax effected) related to interest deductions taken for tax purposes on its 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes. The ultimate tax liability will be dependent on the Company’s stock price at the time of settlement and will range from $0.00 to $17.0 million. Any such liability will be paid in the fiscal quarter following settlement and reflected in operating cash flows. Amounts paid, if any, would not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company corrected the classification of the Company’s 2.25% $150.0 million convertible senior notes at March 28, 2008 from long-term debt to short-term debt, reflecting the one-day put option on March 15, 2009, afforded to the holders of the notes in accordance with the terms thereof. Under SAB 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the adjustment and determined the correction was not material. There was no impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flow statements for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008.

3.125% $230 Million Convertible Senior Notes
In August 2008, the Company issued $230.0 million principal amount of 3.125% convertible senior notes, which mature on August 1, 2014. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The notes will be convertible into cash up to the principal amount of the notes and shares of the Company’s common stock for any conversion value in excess of the principal amount under the following circumstances: (i) if the Company has called the notes for redemption; (ii )in the event of a Fundamental Change, such as a merger, acquisition, or liquidation; (iii) on or after May 1, 2014 and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding August 1, 2014; (iv) prior to May 1, 2014, during the five consecutive business day period following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price for a note for each day of that trading period is less than 98% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such corresponding trading day multiplied by the applicable conversion rate; (v) prior to May 1, 2014, during any calendar quarter after September 30, 2008 in which the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days ending the day prior to such quarter is greater than 130% of the applicable conversion price of $21.22 per share; or (vi) upon specified corporate events as discussed in the indenture governing the notes.
A note holder may not exercise its conversion right with respect to all or any portion of a note, if such conversion would cause the note holder to become a beneficial owner of more than 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock. The initial conversion rate is 47.1342 shares of common stock per each $1 (in thousands) principal amount of notes and is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $21.22 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur, such as stock dividends or other distributions of cash, securities, indebtedness or assets; stock splits and combinations; issuances of rights or warrants; tender offers; or repurchases.
As of January 2, 2009, the fair value of the 3.125% $230.0 million convertible senior notes was approximately $237.1 million.
The ability of note holders to convert is assessed on a quarterly basis and is dependent on the trading price of the Company’s stock during the last 30 trading days of each quarter. The Contingent Conversion Trigger was not met during the three months ended January 2, 2009; therefore, the notes may not be converted during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repurchase approximately $35.0 million of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions with institutional investors concurrently with this offering. See Stock Repurchase Program in Footnote 1,Background and Basis of Presentation, for additional information. The Company anticipates using up to $150.0 million of the net proceeds on or before March 15, 2024, when holders of the notes have the option, as described above, to require the Company to redeem all or part of the outstanding 2.25% notes. Remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Convertible Note Hedge Transactions
In connection with the offering of the notes, the Company also entered into convertible note hedge transactions with respect to its common stock (the “purchased options”) with a major financial institution, (the “counterparty”). The Company paid an aggregate amount of $54.1 million to the counterparty for the purchased options. The purchased options cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially identical to those in the notes, approximately 10.8 million shares of common stock at a strike price that corresponds to the initial conversion price of the notes, also subject to adjustment, and are exercisable at each conversion date of the notes. The purchased options will expire upon the earlier of (i) the last day the notes remain outstanding or (ii) the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes.
The purchased options are intended to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the notes in the event that the market value per share of the common stock, as measured under the notes, at the time of exercise is greater than the conversion price of the notes.
The purchased options are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the counterparty, and are not part of the terms of the notes. Holders of the notes will not have any rights with respect to the purchased options.

Table of Contents
Warrant Transactions
The Company also entered into warrant transactions (the “warrants”), whereby the Company sold to the counterparty warrants in an aggregate amount of $25.4 million to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, up to 10.8 million shares of common stock at a strike price of $28.29 per share of common stock, also subject to adjustment. The warrants will expire after the purchased options in approximately ratable portions on a series of expiration dates commencing on November 3, 2015.
If the market value per share of the common stock, as measured under the warrants, exceeds the strike price of the warrants, the warrants will have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share. The warrants have been accounted for as an adjustment to the Company’s stockholders’ equity.
The warrants are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the notes. Holders of the notes do not have any rights with respect to the warrants.
Revolving Line of Credit
The Company had $50.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit at January 2, 2009. The Credit Agreement permits maximum borrowings of up to $200.0 million, which may be increased to $250.0 million at the Company’s discretion. After reducing availability for outstanding borrowings and letter of credit commitments, the Company had sufficient assets based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory to borrow up to $149.2 million (excluding the additional increase of $50.0 million) under the revolving line of credit. The average daily interest rate, excluding debt issuance costs and unused line fees, for the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 was 4.09% and 6.88%, respectively.
As the Company’s business grows, its cash and working capital requirements are expected to increase. The Company normally meets its operating requirements by maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity under its revolving line of credit and using cash flows from operating activities. The Company expects the overall growth in the business will be funded through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under the revolving line of credit, capital markets, and/or other financing arrangements. During the nine months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, the Company has not entered into any new material working capital commitments that require funding.
Debt Rating
The Company’s debt is rated by a nationally recognized rating agency, Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”). Companies that have assigned ratings at the top end of the range have, in the opinion of the rating agency, the strongest capacity for repayment of debt or payment of claims, while companies at the bottom end of the range have the weakest capability. On October 10, 2008, S&P revised its ratings outlook from stable to positive and reaffirmed the Company’s credit rating of “BB.” This revision was attributable to the Company’s solid operating performance and its ability to manage credit in the current environment. Agency ratings are always subject to change, and there can be no assurance that a ratings agency will continue to rate the Company or its debt, and/or maintain its current ratings. Management cannot predict the effect that a negative change in debt ratings will have on the Company’s liquidity or whether the Company will maintain adequate ratings as required by the 2.25% convertible notes indenture. Additionally, any decreases in the Company’s debt rating could impact the Company’s convertible notes, as holders may present the notes for redemption should the Company’s debt rating fall below a certain level.

(a) | The revolving line of credit is classified as a current liability in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-22,Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement; however, the credit facility does not expire until September 30, 2012. The Company is not obligated to repay or refinance amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit until September 30, 2012. Interest expense has been estimated using current level borrowings outstanding at current effective interest rates. Actual interest expense may differ due to changes in interest rates or levels of borrowings. |
(b) | Amounts include interest expense. |
(c) | The 2.25% $150.0 million convertible debt due 2024 is classified as short term due to a one-day put option on March 15, 2009. See additional provisions relating to the Company’s debt inFootnote 3, Debt. |
(d) | The 3.125% $230.0 million convertible debt, due 2014 is discussed further inFootnote 3, Debt. |
(e) | Amounts represent contractual obligations for operating leases of the Company as of January 2, 2009. Currently, it is management’s intent to either renegotiate existing leases or execute new leases prior to or upon their expiration date of such agreements. |
(f) | If the Physician Business or the Elder Care Business were to terminate a contract with a vendor of its Select Medical Products brand (“Select”) for any reason, the Company may be required to purchase the remaining inventory of Select products from the vendor, provided that, in no event would the Company be required to purchase quantities of such products which exceed the aggregate amount of such products ordered by the Company in a negotiated time period immediately preceding the date of termination. As of January 2, 2009, the Company had no material obligations to purchase inventory from Select vendors due to contract terminations. |
(g) | During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a minimum number of latex and vinyl gloves through February 2010. The pricing of the latex gloves may be periodically adjusted and is based on the price of raw latex as traded on the Malaysian Rubber Exchange. The pricing of the vinyl gloves may also be periodically adjusted and is based on the weighted price of two raw materials, Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and Dioctylphthalate (DOP), as published on www.icis.com. These purchase commitments are valued at approximately $11.7 million at January 2, 2009 and are based on management’s estimate of current pricing. |
(h) | During October 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive distributor agreement with a supplier to purchase certain chemistry analyzers through September 2009. As of January 2, 2009, the purchase commitment was valued at approximately $1,492. |

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical Accounting Estimates are disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008 filed on May 23, 2008 under the heading“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”There have been no material changes in the Company’s Critical Accounting Estimates, as disclosed in the Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements by establishing a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on March 29, 2008 and adoption did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. FSP SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP SFAS 157-2”), delays the effective date of SFAS 157 with respect to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2010. Accordingly, the Company has not yet applied the requirements of SFAS 157 to certain such nonfinancial assets for which fair value measurements are determined only when there is an indication of potential impairment.
During February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB SFAS 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 mandates certain financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements when a company elects to report assets and liabilities at fair value under SFAS 159. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company adopted SFAS 159 on March 29, 2008 and adoption did not have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the disclosure requirements under FASB Statement No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangibles. FSP 142-3 requires that an entity consider its historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements in determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. Determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FSP 142-3 applies prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements of FSP 142-3 will be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2010, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of FSP 142-3 is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the effect, if any, the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires entities with convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects an estimate of the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest expense is recognized in subsequent periods.
30
Table of Contents
FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2010. Entities are required to apply FSP APB 14-1 retrospectively for all periods presented. Upon adoption, the Company estimates FSP APB 14-1 will increase non-cash interest expense by $10.9 million (or approximately $6.7 million after-tax) and $7.7 million (or approximately $4.7 million after-tax) for fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2010, respectively.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5,Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year 2010. This pronouncement will not effect future reporting periods, as the Company currently accounts for their financial instruments under the guidance set forth by EITF 07-5.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company believes there has been no material change in its exposure to market risk from that discussed in Item 7A in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008 filed on May 23, 2008.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on the evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended January 2, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, investors should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A,Risk Factors, in the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008, filed on May 23, 2008. Such factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has potential exposure to risks other than those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management, or risks that management currently deem to be immaterial, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Table of Contents
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A,Risk Factors, in the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008.
Cost increases for the Company’s products may impact the Company’s results of operations.
Some of the Company’s suppliers have and may continue to accelerate cost increases for products distributed by the Company. While the Company is taking steps to mitigate the effect of these cost increases, there can be no assurance that these cost increases will not materially adversely impact the Company’s gross margins, financial condition, and results of operations.
General economic conditions, a decline in consumer spending or other conditions may materially adversely impact the Company’s sales in a disproportionate fashion.
Current and future economic conditions and other factors including consumer confidence, employment levels, interest rates, tax rates, consumer debt levels, the threat or outbreak of terrorism, fuel and energy costs and the availability of consumer credit, and the impact of state budget deficits on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement could reduce consumer spending or change consumer purchasing habits. A general slowdown in the U.S. economy or in the global economy, or an uncertain economic outlook, could materially adversely affect consumer spending habits and our operating results.
President Barack Obama has identified health care reform as a key priority of his administration. Publicly disclosed initiatives include increased availability of insurance, funding for the use of health care information technology, promotion of patient safety, and efficiencies in Medicare and Medicaid. It is unclear at this time what laws and regulations may ultimately be enacted and what impact such laws and regulations will have on the purchasing pattern of the Company’s customers, and as a result, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
Issuer Sales and Purchases of Equity Securities
