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 June 30, 1999 and the
consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods and
cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
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. Reported
results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 reflect the results of such counts, to the extent that they
are materially different from estimated amounts. 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. Restructuring Reserve
As a result of the Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation contract
cancellation in the second quarter of 1998, the company recorded a
nonrecurring restructuring charge to downsize operations. In the second
quarter of 1999 the company re-evaluated its estimate of the remaining
costs to be incurred in connection with the restructuring plan, and
reduced the reserve by $1.0 million. The following table sets forth the
activity in the restructuring reserve during the second quarter of 1999:
Balance at Balance at
(In thousands) March 31, 1999 Charges Adjustments June 30, 1999

Total $ 8,569 $ 597 $ (1,000) $ 6,972

Four employees were terminated in connection with the restructuring plan during
the three month period ended June 30, 1999.

6. Subsequent Event
On July 30, 1999, the company acquired the net assets of Medix, Inc.
(Medix), a distributor of medical/surgical supplies, for approximately $85
million in cash, which included assumed debt. Headquartered in Waunakee,
Wisconsin, Medix's customers are primarily in the Midwest and include
acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities and clinics. The
acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. Medix's net sales were
$183.6 million for their fiscal year ended October 2, 1998.
7. 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 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated 10-year Notes (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, 1998. 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 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. The company's liquidity improved during the first six months of 1999.
Combined outstanding debt and off balance sheet accounts receivable
securitization levels were reduced by $10.0 million to $215.0 million at June
30, 1999, from $225.0 million at December 31, 1998. The reduction was due to the
positive impact of cash flow from operations. The capitalization ratio at June
30, 1999, including the Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities (Securities)
as equity and excluding the effect of the accounts receivable securitization,
was 41.6% compared to 43.4% at December 31, 1998. This improvement was primarily
the result of positive operating cash flows.
In May 1998, O&M repurchased all of its outstanding Series B Cumulative
Preferred Stock, financing the repurchase with substantially all the net
proceeds of the $132.0 million of Securities issued by Owens & Minor Trust I
(Trust). These transactions reduced the company's overall cost of capital for
the second quarter and the first six months of 1999 compared to the same period
of 1998.
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 June 30, 1999, the company had $225.0 million of unused credit under
its revolving credit facility and approximately $68.9 million under its
receivables financing facility. The company used a portion of this available
financing to fund the acquisition of the net assets of Medix, Inc. (Medix) on
July 30, 1999.
Working Capital Management. The company's working capital increased by $9.3
million from December 31, 1998, to $244.6 million at June 30, 1999. This
increase was a result of higher levels of inventories and accounts receivable
needed to support sales growth. The company also continues to focus on the
management of inventory levels, and inventory turnover increased to 9.5 times
for the quarter from 8.4 times in the fourth quarter of 1998.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures were approximately $8.4 million in
the first six months of 1999, of which approximately $6.9 million was for
computer hardware and software, including $1.8 million for system upgrades to
prepare for Year 2000. The company expects to continue to invest in technology,
including system upgrades, to support strategic initiatives and improve
operational efficiency. These capital expenditures are expected to be funded
through cash flow from operations.
Acquisition. On July 30, 1999, the company acquired the net assets of Medix, a
distributor of medical/surgical supplies, for approximately $85 million in cash,
which included assumed debt. This acquisition strengthens the company's presence
in the Midwest and is expected to provide opportunities for increased sales in
this geographic area. The success of the acquisition will depend in part on the
company's ability to integrate and capture synergies in the combined businesses.
13
Results of Operations
Second quarter and first six months of 1999 compared with 1998
Net sales. Net sales decreased 3.3% to $772.4 million in the second quarter of
1999 from $799.0 million in the second quarter of 1998. Net sales decreased 5.2%
to $1.5 billion in the first six months of 1999 from $1.6 billion in the first
six months of 1998. These decreases are primarily due to the impact of the 1998
cancellation of the company's distribution contract with Columbia/HCA Healthcare
Corporation (Columbia/HCA). The decrease in sales was partially offset by both
increased penetration of existing accounts and new customer contracts. Sales in
1999 included sales from Tenet BuyPower, the company's largest new customer,
beginning in February 1999.
Gross margin. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 10.4% in
the second quarter of 1999 and increased to 10.5% in the first six months of
1999 from 10.3% in the first quarter and the first six months of 1998. This
improvement reflects the company's continued emphasis on supply chain
initiatives with key suppliers as well as the lower sales base during the first
quarter of 1999.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 7.7%
for the second quarter of 1999 and increased to 7.8% for the first six months of
1999 compared to 7.6% for the second quarter and the first six months of 1998.
The increase, as a percentage of net sales, was the result of a lower sales base
for the 1999 periods. SG&A expense decreased $1.6 million for the quarter and
$3.9 million for the first six months of 1999 from the comparable periods in
1998. This reduction was the result of cost-saving initiatives, including the
reduction of approximately 250 full-time equivalent employees since June 30,
1998.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the second
quarter and the first six months of 1999 was comparable to the same periods in
1998.
Interest expense, net, and discount on accounts receivable securitization.
Interest expense, net, and discount on accounts receivable securitization
decreased to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 1999 from $4.6 million in the
second quarter of 1998 and decreased to $7.9 million in the first six months of
1999 from $9.8 million in the first six months of 1998. This reduction has been
a result of the lower level of financing under the off balance sheet accounts
receivable securitization for the second quarter and the first six months of
1999 compared to the same periods in 1998. The company expects to continue to
manage these costs by continuing its working capital reduction initiatives and
management of interest rate risks, although the future results of these
initiatives cannot be assured.
Distributions on mandatorily redeemable preferred securities and dividends on
preferred stock. In May 1998, the Trust issued $132.0 million of the Securities.
O&M applied substantially all of the net proceeds from this transaction to
repurchase all of its outstanding Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock. As of
June 30, 1999, the company had accrued $1.2 million of distributions related to
these Securities.
Nonrecurring restructuring expenses. As a result of the Columbia/HCA contract
cancellation in the second quarter of 1998, the company recorded a nonrecurring
restructuring charge of approximately $6.6 million, after taxes, to downsize
operations. In the second quarter of 1999, the company re-evaluated its
restructuring reserve. Since the actions under this plan had resulted in lower
projected total costs than originally anticipated, the company recorded a
reduction in the reserve which increased net income by approximately $0.6
million, after taxes.
14
Income taxes. The income tax provision was $9.4 million in the first six months
of 1999 compared with $4.8 million in the same period in 1998. The effective tax
rate was 44.0%, compared to 41.0% for the same period in 1998. This increase
results primarily from reduced deductibility of expenses related to certain
nontaxable income.
Net income. Net income increased to $6.5 million in the second quarter of 1999
from $0.1 million in the second quarter of 1998 and increased to $12.0 million
in the first six months of 1999 from $6.9 million in the same period of 1998.
The increase was due to the impact of the restructuring charge in 1998 and the
restructuring accrual adjustment in 1999, as well as lower sales during the 1999
periods. Excluding the effect of the restructuring charge in 1998 and the
related adjustment in 1999, net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 was
$5.9 million compared to $6.8 million in 1998, and $11.4 million and $13.5
million for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
Readiness for Year 2000
The Year 2000 (Y2K) issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two-digit, rather than four-digit, year dates. O&M's computer hardware, software
and devices with embedded technology that are date-sensitive may recognize a
date code using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This situation
could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in other normal business activities. The
company has divided its Y2K efforts into three main areas:
o computer hardware and software;
o other systems and equipment, such as telephone equipment, scanning
equipment and alarm systems; and
o suppliers and customers.
Computer Hardware and Software. In 1997, O&M completed its assessment of its
computer hardware and software, and developed a strategy of remediation. This
strategy includes retirement of outdated software and replacement or repair of
the remaining software and hardware. The company began repair and replacement
efforts in 1997. These repairs are substantially complete and replacements are
expected to be substantially complete at the end of the third quarter of 1999,
prior to any currently anticipated impact on O&M's computer hardware and
software. Testing of repairs is expected to be substantially complete in the
third quarter of 1999, but will continue through the end of the year. O&M
estimates that, as of June 30, 1999, it had completed approximately 80% of
replacement, and 85% of the testing that it believes will be necessary to fully
address potential Y2K issues relating to its computer hardware and software.
Other Systems and Equipment. The company has completed an inventory and
assessment of non-computer related systems and equipment at its operating
divisions and a similar inventory and assessment at its corporate offices. O&M
believes that the impact on operations of potential noncompliance for these
systems and equipment would be minimal. The company is continuing its program of
replacement and repair of non-compliant systems and equipment, and expects this
effort to be complete by late 1999.
15
Suppliers and Customers. O&M has contacted its significant suppliers to
determine the extent to which the company is vulnerable to the suppliers'
failure to remediate their Y2K compliance issues. Of the suppliers representing
approximately 90% of O&M's sales, 91% have responded, and, of those responding,
93% have indicated that they have either remedied their Y2K compliance issues,
or plan to do so before the end of 1999. The company has successfully completed
testing with three of its largest suppliers and will continue testing with
selected suppliers during the remainder of 1999.
The company has also contacted its largest customers to determine their level of
Y2K readiness. Many customers have not yet responded to these inquiries or have
not responded with sufficient detail for O&M to determine whether they will be
Y2K compliant on a timely basis. The company is continuing its efforts to
ascertain the readiness of its customers but, since this readiness cannot be
assured, O&M has developed contingency plans to address the most likely risks of
non-compliance and is in the process of implementing those plans. The company
has successfully completed testing with over 50 customers and will continue
testing during the remainder of 1999.
The company estimates the cost of its Y2K remediation efforts will total
approximately $9.4 million of operating expenses and $6.7 million of capital
expenditures. These expenditures will be funded from operating cash flows.
Through June 30, 1999, O&M had incurred approximately $7.5 million of expenses
and $5.5 million of capital spending related to its Y2K efforts, of which $0.7
million and $1.3 million were incurred in the second quarter of 1999. For the
remainder of 1999, the company expects to incur approximately $2.0 million of
expenses and $1.1 million of capital spending. Other information technology
efforts have not been significantly delayed by Y2K initiatives.
O&M has completed its analysis of the operational problems that would be
reasonably likely to result from the failure by the company and certain third
parties to complete efforts necessary to achieve Y2K compliance on a timely
basis. Some of the possible consequences include, but are not limited to, loss
of communications, loss of utility services, and an inability to process
customer transactions or engage in similar normal business activities. The
company has developed contingency plans to address these and other possible
scenarios. In the event that the company or third party is adversely affected by
the century change, the company will implement its contingency plan for each
situation. These plans include alternate means of communication with customers
and suppliers, manual operation of certain systems, and other previously
established emergency procedures.
O&M believes the Y2K issue will not pose significant operational problems for
the company. However, if all Y2K issues are not properly identified or if
assessment, remediation and testing are not completed on a timely basis, there
can be no assurance that the Y2K issue will not have a material adverse impact
on the company's results of operations or adversely affect its relationships
with customers, suppliers or others. Additionally, there can be no assurance
that Y2K non-compliance by other entities will not have a material adverse
impact on the company's systems or results of operations.
The costs of O&M's Y2K efforts and the dates on which the company believes it
will complete these efforts are based upon management's current estimates. These
estimates used numerous assumptions regarding future events, including the
continued availability of certain resources, third party remediation plans and
other factors. There can be no assurance that these estimates will prove to be
accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those currently
anticipated.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
(SFAS) 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In May
1999, the FASB delayed the effective date of this standard by one year. The
company will be required to adopt the provisions of this standard beginning on
January 1, 2001. Management believes the effect of the adoption of this standard
will be limited to financial statement presentation and disclosure and will not
have a material effect on the company's financial condition or results of
operations.
16
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.
Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements in this discussion constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, including, but not
limited to, general economic and business conditions, competition, changing
trends in customer profiles, outcome of outstanding litigation, readiness for
Year 2000 and changes in government regulations. Although O&M believes its
expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon
reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and
operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or
achievements of the company will not differ materially from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
