                      Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)

1.   Accounting Policies

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments (which are comprised only of
     normal recurring accruals and the use of estimates) necessary to present
     fairly the consolidated financial position of Owens & Minor, Inc. and its
     wholly-owned subsidiaries (O&M or the company) as of March 31, 2002 and the
     consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three month
     periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.

2.   Interim Results of Operations

     The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.   Interim Gross Margin Reporting

     The company uses estimated gross margin rates to determine the cost of
     goods sold during interim periods. To improve the accuracy of its estimated
     gross margins for interim reporting purposes, the company takes physical
     inventory counts at selected distribution centers. Management will continue
     a program of interim physical inventories at selected distribution centers
     to the extent it deems appropriate to ensure the accuracy of interim
     reporting and to minimize year-end adjustments.

4.   Goodwill

     On January 1, 2002, the company adopted the provisions of Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other
     Intangible Assets. The provisions of SFAS 142 state that goodwill should
     not be amortized but should be tested for impairment upon adoption of the
     standard, and at least annually, at the reporting unit level. As a result,
     the company no longer records goodwill amortization expense. During the
     first quarter of 2002, the company completed the transitional impairment
     test and determined that goodwill was not impaired as of January 1, 2002.

     The provisions of SFAS 142 also require the company to evaluate its
     existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in purchase
     business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order
     to conform with the new classification criteria in SFAS No. 141 for
     recognition separate from goodwill. At implementation, the company had no
     separately identifiable intangible assets from purchase business
     combinations that are recorded either separately or within goodwill.

     The following table presents the company's net income for the three month

5.   Acquisition

     In 1999, the company acquired certain net assets of Medix, Inc. (Medix), a
     distributor of medical and surgical supplies. The acquisition was accounted
     for by the purchase method. In connection with the acquisition, management
     adopted a plan for integration of the businesses that included closure of
     some Medix facilities and consolidation of certain administrative
     functions. An accrual was established to provide for certain costs of this
     plan. The following table sets forth the activity in the accrual since
     December 31, 2001:

     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The integration of the Medix business was completed in 2001. However, the
     company continues to make payments under lease commitments and other
     obligations.

6.   Restructuring Reserve

     As a result of the cancellation of a significant customer contract in 1998,
     the company recorded a restructuring charge to downsize operations. The
     following table sets forth the activity in the restructuring reserve since
     December 31, 2001:

7.   Off Balance Sheet Receivables Financing Facility

     Under the terms of its off balance sheet receivables financing facility
     (Receivables Financing Facility), O&M Funding is entitled to sell, without
     recourse, certain of the company's trade receivables and to receive up to
     $225.0 million from a group of unrelated third party purchasers. At March
     31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, net accounts receivable of $40.0 million
     and $70.0 million had been sold under the agreement and, as a result, have
     been excluded from the consolidated balance sheets.

10.  Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

     On January 1, 2002, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS 144,
     Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The
     provisions of SFAS 144 modify the accounting treatment for impairments of
     long-lived assets and discontinued operations. The adoption of this
     standard did not have a material effect on the company's results of
     operations or financial condition.

11.  Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

     The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information
     for: Owens & Minor, Inc.; on a combined basis, the guarantors of Owens &
     Minor, Inc.'s Notes; and the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Notes.
     Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not
     presented because the guarantors are jointly, severally and unconditionally
     liable under the guarantees and the company believes the condensed
     consolidating financial information is more meaningful in understanding the
     financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the guarantor
     subsidiaries.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

The following management discussion and analysis describes material changes in
the financial condition of Owens & Minor, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(O&M or the company) since December 31, 2001. Trends of a material nature are
discussed to the extent known and considered relevant. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related notes
thereto and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations included in the company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Results of Operations

First quarter of 2002 compared with first quarter of 2001

Overview. In the first quarter of 2002, the company earned net income of $10.8
million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, compared with $7.7 million, or $0.22
per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2001. On January 1, 2002, the
company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142, under which the company no longer
records goodwill amortization expense. Excluding goodwill amortization and
related tax benefits, net income increased by 20% from $9.0 million in the first
quarter of 2001 and net income per diluted common share increased by 16% from
$0.25 in the first quarter of 2001.

Net sales. Net sales increased 5% to $966.7 million in the first quarter of 2002
from $924.5 million in the first quarter of 2001. Net sales increased by 6% on a
per-day basis, as the first quarter of 2002 had one less sales day compared to
the first quarter of 2001. This increase in sales resulted primarily from
further penetration of existing accounts and new business.

Gross margin. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2002 was 10.7% of net sales,
consistent with the first quarter of 2001. Customer margins increased slightly
from last year, but these increases were offset by reduced supplier initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2002 were 7.8% of net
sales, improved from 7.9% of net sales in the first quarter of 2001, largely as
a result of lower personnel and warehouse costs relative to the sales base, as
the company has completed significant customer transitions that took place in
2001.

Interest expense, net, and discount on accounts receivable securitization
(financing costs). Net financing costs totaled $3.4 million for the first
quarter of 2002, compared with $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2001.
Excluding collections of customer finance charges, financing costs for the first
quarter were $4.1 million, a decrease of $2.1 million from the first quarter of
2001. The decrease in financing costs was primarily driven by lower effective
interest rates resulting from both the refinancing of the company's long-term
debt and from decreases in short-term interest rates.

The company expects to continue to manage its financing costs by managing
working capital levels. Future financing costs will be affected primarily by
changes in short-term interest rates, as well as working capital requirements.

Income taxes. The income tax provision was $7.4 million in the first quarter of
2002 compared with $6.1 million in the same period in 2001. The effective tax
rate was 40.5%, compared to 44.0% for the same period in 2001. This rate
decrease results primarily from the elimination of goodwill amortization, much

                                       14



of which was not tax-deductible. Excluding the effects of goodwill amortization,
the effective rate was 40.7% for the first quarter of 2001.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Combined outstanding debt and off balance sheet accounts receivable
securitization decreased by $31.4 million to $242.0 million at March 31, 2002,
from $273.4 million at December 31, 2001. This decrease was primarily a result
of reduced sales of accounts receivable. The company required less financing due
to lower inventory levels as the company has completed many of the customer
transitions that began in 2001. Excluding sales of accounts receivable under the
Receivables Financing Facility, $19.9 million of cash was provided by operating
activities in the first three months of 2002, compared with $0.5 million used
for operating activities in the first quarter of 2001. This increase in
operating cash flow was the result of the inventory reductions mentioned above.

Effective April 30, 2002, the company replaced its revolving credit facility
with a new agreement expiring in April 2005. The credit limit of the new
facility is $150.0 million, and the interest rate is based on, at the company's
discretion, LIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate. Under the new
facility, the company is charged a commitment fee of between 0.30% and 0.40% on
the unused portion of the facility, and a utilization fee of 0.25% will be
charged if borrowings exceed $75.0 million. The terms of the new agreement limit
the amount of indebtedness that the company may incur, require the company to
maintain certain levels of net worth, current ratio, leverage ratio and fixed
charge coverage ratio, and restrict the ability of the company to materially
alter the character of the business through consolidation, merger, or purchase
or sale of assets.

Effective April 30, 2002, the company replaced its receivables securitization
facility with a new agreement expiring in April 2005. Under the terms of the new
facility, O&M Funding is entitled to sell, without recourse, up to $225.0
million of its trade receivables to a group of unrelated third party purchasers
at a cost of funds equal to commercial paper rates, the prime rate, or LIBOR
(plus a charge for administrative and credit support services). The terms of the
new agreement require the company to maintain certain levels of net worth,
current ratio, leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, and restrict the
company's ability to materially alter the character of the business through
consolidation, merger, or purchase or sale of assets.

The company expects that its available financing will be sufficient to fund its
working capital needs and long-term strategic growth, although this cannot be
assured. At March 31, 2002, the company had $211.3 million of unused credit
under its revolving credit facility and the ability to sell an additional $185.0
million of accounts receivable under its Receivables Financing Facility.

Working Capital Management. The company's working capital increased by $13.5
million from December 31, 2001 to $325.3 million at March 31, 2002. The increase
in working capital resulted from increased accounts receivable, as the company
sold fewer receivables under its Receivables Financing Facility, partially
offset by a decrease in inventory.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures were $2.2 million in the first
quarter of 2002, compared to $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2001.
Excluding the purchase of land for the company's future headquarters, capital
expenditures in the first quarter of 2001 were $2.3 million. The company spent
$1.4 million to purchase computer hardware and software, compared to $1.5
million in the first quarter of 2001. The company expects capital expenditures
to continue at about the same level through the end of the year.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations. The provisions of SFAS 143 address financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The company will be required
to adopt the provisions of this standard beginning on January 1, 2003.
Management believes that adoption of this standard will not have a material
effect on the company's results of operations or financial condition.

Risks

The company is subject to risks associated with changes in the medical industry,
including continued efforts to control costs, which place pressure on operating
margin, and changes in the way medical and surgical services are delivered to
patients. The loss of one of the company's larger customers could have a
significant effect on its business. However, management believes that the
company's competitive position in the marketplace and its ability to control
costs would enable it to continue profitable operations and attract new
customers in the event of such a loss.
