               PHYSICIAN SALES & SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The Company is a leading distributor of medical supplies, equipment and
pharmaceuticals to primary care and other office-based physicians. The Company
currently operates 61 physician office medical supply distribution ("Physician
Supply Division") service centers distributing to approximately 103,000
physician office sites in all 50 states. The Company's primary market is the
approximately 399,000 physicians who practice medicine in approximately 198,000
office sites throughout the United States. For fiscal 1997, the Company
generated net revenues of $691.0 million.

     The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Diagnostic Imaging
("DI" or "Imaging Division"), distributes medical diagnostic imaging supplies,
chemicals, equipment and service to the acute care and alternate care market. 
DI currently operates 20 imaging service centers in ten states in the Southeast
and Midwest.

     The Company also distributes medical supplies and equipment in Belgium,
France, Germany, and the Netherlands through its WorldMed International, Inc.
subsidiary ("International Division"). The Company currently has three
International Division service centers distributing to the acute and alternate
care markets.

     The Company's primary objectives are to be capable of servicing the medical
equipment and supply needs of every office-based physician in the United States,
to create a national diagnostic imaging distribution company, and to expand its
presence in the European medical equipment and supply market. To achieve these
objectives and increase profitability, the Company intends to (i) continue to
acquire core business medical supply and equipment distributors, especially in
existing markets where it can leverage its distribution infrastructure and gain
market share, (ii) acquire diagnostic imaging distributors to expand its
geographic coverage and leverage its existing infrastructure, (iii) increase
sales of existing service centers by adding additional sales representatives and
providing superior service, competitive pricing and a broad product line,
including sophisticated diagnostic equipment, (iv) expand operating margins, (v)
open new service centers in selected markets where acquisition opportunities are
not available, and (vi) invest in sophisticated information systems that bring
efficiency to the Company and its subsidiaries.

INDUSTRY

     According to industry estimates, the medical supply and equipment segment
of the health care industry represents a $30.2 billion market, of which $6.6
billion represents the primary care and other office-based physicians. The
medical supply and equipment industry is estimated to be growing at an annual
rate of 6% to 8%. The Company has historically grown faster than the overall
market. The Company estimates that approximately 300 companies supply medical
products to the office-based physician sector.

     The diagnostic imaging industry represents a $4.1 billion market,
representing the sale and service of diagnostic imaging equipment and supplies
to the acute care market, imaging centers and physician offices. Approximately
$2.3 billion of the diagnostic imaging market is sold through independent
distributors and the remainder is sold directly by manufacturers. The diagnostic
imaging industry is highly fragmented with unconsolidated distributors
representing approximately 70% of the market.

COMPANY GROWTH

     Since its inception in 1983, the Company has achieved significant growth in
the number of service center locations, geographic area of operation, net sales,
and profitability. During the fiscal years 1992 through 1997, the Company and
its subsidiaries' net sales, excluding the retroactive effect of mergers, grew
at a compound annual rate of approximately 49%, and giving retroactive effect of
mergers, the Company's net sales grew at a compound annual rate of approximately
27%. The number of company service centers has grown from two at the end of
fiscal 1984 to 84 currently, including 61 Physician Supply Division service
centers, 20 Imaging Division services centers and three International Division
service centers. In order of priority, the Company's growth has been
accomplished through (i) acquiring regional and local physician supply companies

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (CONTINUED)
                                        
(ii) acquiring local and regional imaging companies, (iii) increasing sales from
existing Physician Supply Division service centers, and (iv) opening start-up
Physician Supply Division service centers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following is management's discussion and analysis of the results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996:

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

     NET SALES.  Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 totaled
$203.5 million, an increase of $52.0 million or 34.3% over net sales of $151.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The sales from the Imaging
Division increased to $44.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997
from $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  In order of
contribution to the increase, net sales increased as the result of (i) net sales
of the Imaging Division centers acquired during the last nine months of fiscal
1997, (ii) internal sales growth of Physician Supply Division centers operating
at least two years, and (iii) net sales of Physician Supply Division centers
recently acquired.

     The Company's Physician Supply Division service centers operating for at
least 24 consecutive months as of fiscal year ended 1998 generated same center
sales growth of 13% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  The sales growth
resulted from the continued development of PSS's sales force, further market
penetration, increased emphasis on diagnostic equipment and supplies, and
expansion of existing territories served by individual service centers.

     GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1997 totaled
$55.4 million, an increase of $13.6 million or 32.5% over the three months ended
June 30, 1996 total of $41.8 million. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 27.6% for the
three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in gross profit percentage is
attributable to lower margins of the recently acquired Imaging Division
operations, which had an average gross profit of 20.5% for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. The Company is currently in the third year of a five year
exclusive distributorship agreement with Abbott Laboratories. For the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, gross profit on sales of Abbott products
were 22.0% and 20.8%, respectively.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 totaled $32.1 million, an increase of
$9.2 million or 40.4% over the three months ended June 30, 1996 total of $22.9
million. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased
to 15.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 15.1% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. Contributing to the increase in general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was the Company's strategy
to focus its Physician Supply Division sales efforts on penetration of more
profitable areas of the market, which resulted in lower but more profitable
growth in sales. The increase in general and administrative expenses is also
attributable to continuing investment in resources to respond to a changing
health care market. The Company has increased its focus on sales of diagnostic
equipment to office based physicians and on penetration of the managed care
market segment. Since inception, the Company has maintained a comprehensive and
consultative sales approach with an emphasis on diagnostic products, which
includes sophisticated diagnostic equipment and supplies related to the use of
such equipment. At the beginning of fiscal 1996, the Company created a
diagnostic team to train and educate newly hired or acquired sales
representatives about the diagnostic equipment sales process. As a result, the
Company has been able to maintain its diagnostic products sales at approximately
20% of total net sales. Sales of diagnostic equipment, while generally lower in
gross margin than supplies, require the reordering of diagnostic reagents which
generally yield higher margins.

                                  (CONTINUED)
                                        
     The Company continued to increase its emphasis on national customer
accounts, including large physician group practices, physician practice
management companies, physician-hospital organizations, physician management
service organizations and group purchasing organizations through the expansion
of its national accounts team.

     SELLING EXPENSES. Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997
totaled $16.8 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 11.7% over the three
months ended June 30, 1996 total of $15.1 million. As a percentage of sales,
selling expenses decreased to 8.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from
9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in selling expense
as a percentage of sales was primarily a result of the operations of the new
Imaging Division which incurs significantly lower selling expense as a
percentage of net sales than the Physician Supply Division.

     MERGER COSTS AND EXPENSES. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the
Company did not incur any non-recurring merger costs and expenses related to the
acquisitions. During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded
non-recurring merger costs and expenses of approximately $6.9 million associated
with the mergers of PSS and four medical supply and equipment distributors. Such
costs included direct merger costs primarily consisting of investment banking,
legal, accounting and filing fees as well as consolidation costs from the
closing of duplicate service center locations and reducing personnel.

     OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). The Company recorded operating income of $6.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to an operating
loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The operating
results for the three months ended June 30, 1996 include non-recurring merger
costs and expenses of approximately $6.9 million. Excluding the effect of these
non-recurring costs, operating income increased $2.6 million or 67% to $6.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $3.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996.

     INTEREST INCOME. The Company recorded interest income from short-term
investments of approximately $ 320,000 during the three months ended June 30,
1997. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was
approximately $70,000. Interest expense was related to debt of companies 
acquired which was repaid upon acquisition.
                                        
     OTHER INCOME. The Company's other income totaled $0.6 million and $0.4
million, an increase of $0.2 million or 43.9%, for the three months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Other income primarily represents finance
charges on customer accounts.

     (PROVISION) BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision totaled $3.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the income tax
benefit of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The income tax
computation is affected by the non-deductible nature of certain non-recurring
merger costs and expenses in the period in which they were incurred.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company had working capital of $168.1 million and $165.4 million as of
June 30, 1997 and March 28, 1997, respectively. Accounts receivable (net of
allowances) were $121.6 million and $119.3 million as of June 30, 1997 and March
28, 1997, respectively. The average number of days sales in accounts receivable
was approximately 53 days for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 56 days
for the year ended March 28, 1997, respectively. Inventories were $68.5 million
and $67.9 million as of June 30, 1997 and March 28, 1997, respectively. The
Company had annual inventory turnover of 8.7 times for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 and 8.1 times for the year ended March 28, 1997.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The improvement resulted
from improved operating results for the three months ended June 30, 1997. For
the three months ended June 30, 1996, a significant portion of these funds were
utilized to consolidate the closing of duplicate service center locations,
realigning regional and corporate functions, consolidating information systems
and reducing personnel in conjunction with mergers.

     Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended June
30, 1997 consisted primarily of the proceeds from sales of marketable securities
offset by capital expenditures and the payments on noncompete agreements. Net 
cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1996 
consisted primarily of payments for purchases of net assets of businesses 
acquired. Net cash used in financing activities was $0.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. Net cash used in financing activities of $7.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 consisted primarily of
repayments of outstanding debt of companies acquired.

     The Company has historically financed its liquidity needs for expansion
through lines of credit provided by banks and the private and public offering of
stock.  The Company has no debt outstanding on its $60 million credit facility.

     The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalent balances

facility, capital markets, and vendor credit will be sufficient to fund its
liquidity needs for its existing operations and for service center expansion for
at least the next two years.

but not limited to, statements regarding anticipated growth in revenue, gross
margins and earnings, statements regarding the Company's current business
strategy, the Company's projected sources and uses of cash, and the Company's

expectations. These statements are forward-looking in nature and involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially. Among

equipment and capital costs; changes in regulations affecting the Company's
business; future acquisitions or strategic partnerships; general business and
economic conditions; and other factors described from time to time in the
