AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes of the Company contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1993. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform with the classifications at and for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1993. Note 2. Primary earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is not significant and is not reflected in the computation. Fully diluted earnings per common share reflect the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants from the date of grant and conversion of all of the Company's 7-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2015 (the "Subordinated Debentures") from the date of issuance in July, 1990 (see Note 6). Note 3. In September 1992, the Company received a termination fee of approximately $13,466,000, resulting from the termination by Durr-Fillauer Medical, Inc. of its agreement to merge with the Company. In the second quarter of 1993, the Company recorded nonrecurring charges totaling $9,882,000, primarily related to the closing of certain non-core operations and the rationalization and standardization of selected distribution operations, information systems and support functions. The charges included the write-down of certain assets associated with the affected operations and modification costs necessary to centralize and standardize certain information systems and support functions. The following supplemental information summarizes the results of operations of the Company excluding the impact of the termination fee and nonrecurring charges: (In thousands, except per share data) 9-Months Ended December 31, 1992 ----------------- Operating Earnings $ 39,898 Net earnings before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ 20,801 Net earnings per common share before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle: Primary $ 1.10 Fully diluted $ 1.03 6 Note 4. On April 14, 1993, the Company repurchased all of the 580,157 Common Shares owned by subsidiaries of North American National Corporation, the Chairman of which is also a director of the Company, at a price of $26.50 per share. Nearly all of these shares were subject to certain restrictions contained in a Shareholders Agreement among North American National Corporation and other individual shareholders, which restrictions were released as part of the repurchase transaction. Note 5. On May 4, 1993, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Solomons Company ("Solomons"), a wholesale drug distributor based in Savannah, Georgia, in exchange for 849,358 of the Company's Common Shares. The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method. Had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of Fiscal 1993, operating results on a pro forma basis would not have been significantly different. Note 6. On June 11, 1993, the Company called for redemption, effective as of July 2, 1993, the $75 million outstanding principal amount of its Subordinated Debentures. Following this call, $74,920,000 of Subordinated Debentures outstanding as of March 31, 1993 were converted at the conversion price of $21.89 per share, into 3,422,521 Common Shares of the Company. The remaining $80,000 of Subordinated Debentures outstanding as of March 31, 1993 were redeemed for cash. The pro forma primary net earnings (loss) per share of the Company, as if the above conversion and redemption had occurred at the beginning of Fiscal 1993, would have been as follows: 3-Months Ended 9-Months Ended ------------------------------ ------------------------- December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, 1993 1992 1993 1992 ------ ------ ------ ------ Net earnings before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $ .48 $ .39 $ 1.26 $ 1.14 Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (.45) ------ ------ ------ ------ Net earnings $ .48 $ .39 $ 1.26 $ .69 ====== ======= ====== ====== Note 7. Effective April 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." This statement requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes. The cumulative effect of adopting this statement has been reported as a change in accounting principle retroactive to April 1, 1992 (the beginning of Fiscal 1993). Note 8. On December 17, 1993, the Company issued 236,626 Common Shares in a merger transaction for all of the capital stock of PRN Services, Inc. ("PRN"), a distributor of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to oncologists and oncology clinics. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The impact of the PRN merger, on both an historical and pro forma basis, is not significant. Accordingly, prior periods have not been restated for the PRN merger. Note 9. On January 27, 1994, shareholders of the Company and Whitmire Distribution Corporation ("Whitmire") approved and adopted the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 11, 1993 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), pursuant to which Cardinal Merger Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into Whitmire effective as of February 7, 1994 (the "Effective Time"). Whitmire is a national distributor of pharmaceutical products with revenues of $2.7 billion for the fiscal year ended July 3, 1993. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests whereby holders of outstanding Whitmire stock at the Effective Time received an aggregate of 5,441,815 Company common shares, without par value, and 1,488,529 shares of the Company's newly authorized Class b common shares, without par value, in exchange for all of the previously outstanding stock of Whitmire. In addition, Whitmire stock options outstanding at the Effective Time were converted into options to purchase an 7 aggregate of approximately 1,377,000 additional Company common shares, without par value, pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement. At the Effective Time, Whitmire became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The following summarizes the pro forma results of the operations of the Company as if the acquisition had occurred at April 1, 1992 (the beginning of Fiscal 1993) (excluding estimated nonrecurring merger expenses of $28 million, net of tax): 3-Months Ended 9-Months Ended ---------------------------------- --------------------------------- December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, 1993 1992 1993 1992 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Net Sales $1,397,739,000 $1,141,379,000 $4,002,451,000 $3,206,301,000 Net earnings before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle $14,968,000 $9,855,000 $39,554,000 $25,037,000 Net earnings per common share before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle: Primary $0.48 $0.36 $1.32 $0.91 Fully diluted $0.48 $0.34 $1.29 $0.89 The pro forma results above include the following unusual items: (a) equity transaction costs of $1,973,000 recorded by Whitmire in its fiscal quarter ended June 27, 1992; and (b) a termination fee of approximately $13,466,000 and certain nonrecurring charges of $9,882,000 recorded by the Company in its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1992 (See Note 3 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" ). Excluding the impact of these unusual items, pro forma net earnings before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle would be $24,770,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1992 and net earnings per common share before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle would be $0.90 and $0.88 on a primary and fully diluted basis respectively for the nine months ended December 31, 1992. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION The discussion below is concerned with material changes in financial condition and results of operations for the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1993 and March 31, 1993 and for the consolidated statements of earnings for the 3 and 9-month periods ended December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992. Unless indicated to the contrary for purposes of this discussion, all references to "1994" and "1993" shall mean the Company's fiscal years ended March 31, 1994 and March 31, 1993, respectively. NET SALES. Net sales increased 29% for the third quarter of 1994 and 23% for the nine-month period. The increase in the third quarter was due to internal growth of 20% and sales resulting from the acquisition of Solomons Company ("Solomons") on May 4, 1993. (See Note 5 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"). The increase in the nine-month period was due to internal growth of 17% and sales resulting from the acquisition of Solomons. The internal business growth in both the third quarter and nine-month period resulted primarily from the addition of new customers (partially as a result of expanded sales territories) and, to a lesser extent, increased sales to existing customers and price increases. The net sales increases of 29% and 23% in the third quarter and nine month period, respectively, were comprised of strong unit volume growth, moderating per unit price inflation, and a reduced selling margin rate reflecting a more competitive market and the Company's increased sales to higher volume customers (see "Gross Margin," below). The Company expects the decline in selling margin rates to be a continuing trend in the immediate but not the long-term future. GROSS MARGIN. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin for the third quarter was 5.78% versus 6.10% last year. For the nine-month period, gross margin was 5.90% versus 6.21% last year. The decreases in the gross margin percentages were due to (a) lower selling margin rates, reflecting a more competitive market, and a greater mix of higher volume customers where a lower cost of distribution and better asset management and cash flow enabled the Company to offer lower selling margins, and (b) reduced purchasing gains associated with lower drug price inflation. The reduced purchasing gains were partially offset by a lower LIFO charge. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. For the third quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses improved as a percentage of net sales to 2.94% from 3.32% last year. For the nine-month period, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 3.13% from 3.49% last year. The improvements are due primarily to economies associated with the Company's significant sales growth, particularly to major customers where the support costs can be lower, and productivity improvements. UNUSUAL ITEMS. A termination fee of $13.5 million was received in the second quarter of 1993 and resulted from the termination by Durr-Fillauer Medical, Inc. of its agreement to merge with the Company. (See Note 3 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"). Nonrecurring charges of $9.9 million were recorded in the second quarter of 1993 and are primarily related to the closing of certain non-core operations and the rationalization and standardization of selected distribution operations, information systems and support functions. (See Note 3 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"). 9 INTEREST EXPENSE. The decrease in interest expense of $1.0 million and $2.8 million in the third quarter and nine-month period of 1994, respectively, was due primarily to conversion of debt to equity following the call for redemption, effective July 2, 1993, of the Company's $75 million face amount of 7-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2015 (the "Subordinated Debentures"). (See Note 6 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"). PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter was 38.4% in 1994 versus 37.5% in 1993. The effective tax rate for the nine month period was 39.0% in 1994 versus 37.9% in 1993. The increase in both the third quarter and nine month period was due primarily to the 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act's 1% tax rate increase enacted on August 11, 1993 retroactive to January 1, 1993. The total impact of the rate increase on taxes currently payable and the net deferred tax liability recorded under SFAS 109 was not material and was recorded in the second quarter of 1994 when the new law was enacted. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE. In the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The cumulative effect of adopting this statement has been reported as a change in accounting principle retroactive to April 1, 1992 (the beginning of Fiscal 1993). The $10 million cumulative effect recorded by the Company resulted primarily from the fact that SFAS 109 modifies the accounting for previous business combinations recorded using the purchase method. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Net working capital increased to $375.0 million at December 31, 1993 from $355.4 million at March 31, 1993 and included an increased investment in merchandise inventories of $99.3 million, excluding the impact of the Solomons and PRN acquisitions (the "Acquisitions") (See Notes 5 and 8, respectively, of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements") and increased accounts payable of approximately $148.1 million, excluding the impact of the Acquisitions. The increase in merchandise inventories and accounts payable described above reflects the timing of seasonal purchases and related payments. Excluding the impact of the Acquisitions, trade receivables increased by approximately $36.8 million due primarily to increased sales. The remaining significant changes in working capital were due to (a) an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $11.3 million, primarily as a result of an increase in non-trade receivables, (b) a decrease in other accrued liabilities of $10.4 million resulting from a variety of individually immaterial items of a normal, ongoing nature consistent with the nature of the Company's business, and (c) the impact of the Acquisitions (including the payment of deferred compensation amounts related to the Solomons acquisition). Shareholders' equity increased to $348.9 million at December 31, 1993 from $245.6 million at March 31, 1993 due primarily to (a) the issuance of additional Common Shares upon the conversion of $74.9 million of the Subordinated Debentures, offset by approximately $1.8 million of unamortized debenture offering costs charged to Common Shares, (b) net income of $27.9 million, (c) a net increase in Common Shares of approximately $2.8 million resulting from the issuance of 849,358 Common Shares to acquire Solomons (See Note 5 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements") offset by the repurchase of 580,157 Common Shares owned by North American National at a price of $26.50 per share (See Note 4 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"), less (d) dividends paid of approximately $1.6 million. The Company has line-of-credit agreements with various bank sources aggregating $175 million, of which $45 million is represented by committed line-of-credit agreements and the balance is uncommitted. None of the available lines-of-credit of $175 million were in use at December 31, 1993. On May 6, 1993, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement for the public offering, from time-to-time, of its debt securities (the "Debt Securities") issuable in one or more series in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million. The net proceeds from any issuance of the Debt Securities will be used by the Company to finance working capital growth and for other general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions. 10 On February 7, 1994, the Company completed its combination with Whitmire (see Note 9 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"). In conjunction with the Whitmire transaction, the Company anticipates that it will refinance Whitmire's prior revolving credit agreement of approximately $120 million, incur fees and nonrecurring costs related to the transaction and the subsequent integration of the two companies' business operations of approximately $28 million (net of tax), and fund the increased working capital requirements associated with the addition of new primary supply relationships with customers, including the recently announced agreement between Whitmire and Kmart Corporation under which Whitmire will be the primary supplier of prescription and certain over-the-counter pharmaceutical products to most of Kmart's pharmacies. The Company believes that it has adequate resources at its disposal to meet currently anticipated capital expenditures, routine business growth and expansion, and current and projected debt service, including the additional liquidity and capital resources associated with the PRN and Whitmire business combinations (see Notes 8 and 9 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"). 11 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Procedings In November 1993, the Company and Whitmire Distribution Corporation ("Whitmire") were each named as defendants in a series of nine purported class lawsuits (the "Brand Name Prescription Drug Litigation") filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, together with 24 pharmaceutical manufacturers and six other wholesale distributors. The plaintiffs, which consist of a total of 14 independent drug stores, claim that the manufacturers and distributors conspired to inflate prices by using a chargeback system of pricing and seek injunctive relief barring the alleged unfair pricing in the future and an unspecified amount of damages to be trebled under the federal antitrust laws. These cases are similar to 43 other cases that have been filed against manufacturers throughout the nation regarding the pricing of brand name prescription drugs. Only the nine most recent cases have named wholesalers as defendants as well. There has been no significant activity in the cases since they were filed in November. Currently, the parties are awaiting a ruling by the Judicial Panel for MultiDistrict Litigation as to whether the cases nationwide should be consolidated in a single court for pretrial purposes. The Company and Whitmire believe that the allegations against them in the Brand Name Prescription Drug Litigation are without merit, and they intend to contest such allegations vigorously. Item 5. Other Information The following information, which would otherwise be filed by the Company pursuant to Items 2 and 7 of Form 8-K as a result of the merger of a subsidiary of the Company with and into Whitmire Distribution Corporation ("Whitmire") is provided herein: On January 27, 1994, shareholders of the Company and Whitmire approved and adopted the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 11, 1993 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), pursuant to which Cardinal Merger Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into Whitmire effective as of February 7, 1994 (the "Effective Time"). Whitmire is a Folsom, California, based national distributor of pharmaceutical products with revenues of $2.7 billion for the fiscal year ended July 3, 1993. Under the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, the approximately 66 holders of outstanding Whitmire stock at the Effective Time (consisting primarily of members of Whitmire management, Apollo Investment Fund, L.P., and Chemical Venture Partners) received an aggregate of 5,441,815 Company common shares, without par value, and 1,488,529 shares of the Company's newly authorized Class b common shares, without par value, in exchange for all of the previously outstanding stock of Whitmire. In addition, Whitmire stock options outstanding at the Effective Time were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1,377,000 additional Company common shares, without par value, pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement. The amount of the consideration described above was determined by arms-length negotiations between representatives of the Company and Whitmire. The principal assets acquired by the Company as a result of the Reorganization Agreement are the inventory, receivables, equipment, accounts, fixtures, furnishings, and other tangible and intangible property owned by Whitmire in the operation of its business as a wholesaler of pharmaceutical and related products. The Company intends to continue to use those assets previously used by Whitmire in the operation of its business, and intends to continue the existence of Whitmire after the Effective Time as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cardinal. There was no material relationship between the Company and the stockholders of Whitmire prior to the execution of the Reorganization Agreement. 12 The following financial information pertaining to the merger with Whitmire is provided herein: (a) Audited Balance Sheets of Whitmire at July 3, 1993 and June 27, 1992. (b) Unaudited Balance Sheet of Whitmire at October 2, 1993. (c) Audited Statements of Operations, Shareholders' Equity, and Cash Flows of Whitmire for each of the three years in the period ended July 3, 1993. (d) Unaudited Statements of Operations and Cash Flows of Whitmire for the three months ended October 2, 1993 and September 26, 1992, and unaudited Statement of Shareholders' Equity for the three months ended October 2, 1993. (e) Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet combining the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 1993 with the balance sheet of Whitmire as of October 2, 1993.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Whitmire Distribution Corporation as of July 3, 1993 and June 27, 1992, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 3, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Fiscal Period and Financial Statement Classification Whitmire's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the end of June. Fiscal year 1993 contained 53 weeks. Fiscal years 1991 and 1992 each contained 52 weeks. Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1993 presentation. Inventories Inventories consist of merchandise held for sale and are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of inventories is determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. As of June 27, 1992, and July 3, 1993, the allowance to reduce inventories to cost under the LIFO method totaled $14,300,000 and $20,800,000, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: equipment and fixtures, 3-15 years; leasehold improvements, lease term, generally 3-5 years. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed currently. Other Assets Other assets as of July 3, 1993, consist primarily of deferred taxes, the cash surrender value of officers' life insurance and loan fees. Loan fees are amortized over the period that the related debt is expected to be outstanding. As of June 27, 1992, other assets included the excess of cost of acquired businesses over the fair market value of their tangible assets. This excess was assigned to intangible assets, primarily trade names, work force value and goodwill. Accumulated amortization totaled $10,104,000 at June 27, 1992. These costs were fully amortized during 1993. Taxes on Income Effective as of the beginning of fiscal 1992, Whitmire began accounting for income taxes under the liability method by adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (See Note 7). Earnings per Common Share Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income, less preferred stock dividends and preferred stock accretion, by the weighted average shares outstanding adjusting for the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants. Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, Whitmire considers cash to include cash in banks and on hand. Cash paid during 1991, 1992, and 1993 for interest wan $16,078,000, $13,449,000 and $12,414,000, respectively. Cash paid during 1991, 1992, and 1993 for taxes was $89,000, $3,859,000 and $9,585,000, respectively. At June 29, 1991, June 27, 1992, and July 3, 1993, approximately $500,000 of senior preferred stock dividends were accrued but not yet paid. 19 WHITMIRE DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --- (CONTINUED) Interim Financial Information Financial information for the three-month periods ended September 26, 1992, and October 2, 1993, is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for these interim periods. 2. SPECIAL CHARGES FOR RESTRUCTURING Results of operations for 1993 include special charges totaling $3,775,000 resulting from a program adopted by Whitmire to improve its warehouse network. The restructuring, which will be implemented over several years, is intended to reduce operating costs while improving Whitmire's distribution capabilities. The restructuring charges are comprised of asset write-offs, moving expenses and other related costs. During 1993, two warehouses were closed, one warehouse was relocated and one warehouse was enlarged under this program. 3. LONG-TERM DEBT During 1992, Whitmire entered into a new revolving credit agreement under which it may borrow up to $210,000,000. During 1993, the agreement was amended to provide for seasonal increases in the availability up to $235,000,000. Interest is payable monthly at 1.5% over the prime rate of a major bank or, at Whitmire's election, 3.25% over the London Interbank Offered Rate. The credit agreement expires March 31, 1995, and includes provisions for two one-year renewal periods. The average interest rate under the revolving credit agreement at July 3, 1993, was 6.9%. This agreement replaced a $175,000,000 revolving credit agreement and term loan with General Electric Capital Corporation. Interest expense in 1992 includes charges of $1,837,000 associated with the retirement of Whitmire's debt with General Electric Capital Corporation. Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are secured by all of Whitmire's assets, including inventories and accounts receivable. At June 27, 1992, $114,545,000 and at July 3, 1993, $88,824,000 was outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. An additional $117,496,000 was available at July 3, 1993 based on eligible inventory and accounts receivable, as defined in the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains limitations on borrowings, investments, capital expenditures, and acquisitions or consolidations, and requires maintenance of specific financial ratios and a minimum net worth. 4. CAPITAL AND OPERATING LEASES Leased property consists of all of Whitmire's warehouse facilities, the corporate headquarters in Folsom, California and substantially all of Whitmire's data processing equipment and automobiles. Generally, the leases are renewable and require Whitmire to pay maintenance, taxes and insurance costs. Rental expense charged to earnings during 1991, 1992 and 1993 amounted to approximately $6,200,000, $6,100,000 and $6,542,000, respectively. 20 WHITMIRE DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --- (CONTINUED) Minimum rental commitments payable in future years under non-cancelable long-term leases are as follows (in thousands): CAPITAL OPERATING LEASES LEASES ------ ---------- 1994 ........................................... $2,528 $5,222 1995 ........................................... 1,281 4,754 1996 ........................................... 323 3,934 1997 ........................................... 63 3,294 1998 ........................................... 2,795 Remaining years ................................ 5,204 ------ ------- Total minimum payments ......................... 4,195 $25,203 ======= Less: Amounts representing interest ........... (227) ------ Present value of minimum lease payments ........ $3,968 ====== 5. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK Whitmire has authorized 360,000 shares of preferred $.01 par value stock. The preferred stock is divided into two series: 350,000 shares designated as Senior Preferred Stock and 10,000 shares designated as Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of Whitmire's preferred stock are entitled to cumulative annual dividends of $10.00 per share for Senior Preferred Stock and $10.125 for Series A Preferred Stock when and as declared by the Board of Directors of Whitmire. In lieu of paying cash dividends to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, Whitmire may, at its election, pay scheduled dividends with additional shares of Senior Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as appropriate. The number of additional shares to be issued is determined using the $100.00 per share liquidation value of Senior Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock. So long as any shares of Senior Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, Whitmire may not declare or pay cash dividends to common stockholders. In the event of liquidation, the holders of Senior Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $100.00 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Whitmire is required to redeem, at $100.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends, all shares of Senior Preferred Stock in eight equal quarterly installments, commencing in October 1994. Whitmire is required to redeem, at $100.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock in July 1996. Whitmire has charged capital in excess of par value for common stockholders or retained earnings $840,000 in each of 1991, 1992 and 1993 for accretion relative to this mandatory redemption obligation. As of July 3, 1993, a total of $4,200,000 had been credited to redeemable preferred stock through accretion. As of July 3, 1993, the aggregate redemption value of Whitmire's Senior Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock totals $20,400,000. Whitmire may, at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem any and all shares of Senior Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock at $100.00 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. The holders of Senior Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote, except that in the event that Whitmire is in arrears in the payment of any two or more quarterly dividends on Senior Preferred Stock or has failed to make any two or more mandatory redemption payments, and has available funds to make such payments, in which case the holders of Senior Preferred Stock voting separately as a class may elect the smallest number of directors that will constitute a majority of the then authorized number of directors. 21 WHITMIRE DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --- (CONTINUED) 6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY During 1992, Whitmire completed a series of transactions which affected its capitalization as follows: - Warrants for the purchase of 150,000 shares of common stock were returned to Whitmire and canceled. - Whitmire granted options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock to Melco Managers (Melco) for distribution to key employees of Whitmire. Melco was formed for the sole purpose of administering a management stock option plan. - Whitmire granted to its outside investors adjustment share rights representing rights to purchase 666,667 shares of common stock. A defined percentage of the adjustment share rights were cancelable yearly (up to 100%) based upon Whitmire achieving specified financial targets. - Whitmire issued 4,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to certain of its outside investors as reimbursement of expenses associated with the acquisition of their interests in Whitmire. - Put and call provisions of Whitmire's remaining outstanding warrants were canceled. The 1992 financial statements have been restated to reflect fees and expenses associated with the 1992 equity transactions of $1,973,000 as a charge to operations. During 1993, Whitmire and its principal outside investors agreed to amend certain agreements which, among other things, canceled the adjustment share rights and eliminated certain conditions relative to the exercise of the options granted to Melco. For financial reporting purposes, the modification of the terms of these options has been treated as if the options were issued on the date that the terms were modified. Accordingly, Whitmire has recorded a compensation charge totaling $5,247,000 relative to these changes. The compensation charge is equal to the fair value (as determined by an independent appraisal) of the options on the date that the terms of the options were modified. Following is a description of the components of Whitmire's equity: Common Stock Whitmire has authorized 2,500,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.01 per share and 800,000 shares of non-voting common stock with a par value of $.01 per share. At July 3, 1993, 271,229 shares were reserved for issuance to the holders of warrants to purchase common shares and 164,917 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance to the holders of common stock options. Of the 558,754 shares outstanding at July 3, 1993, 91,986 shares were non-voting common stock. Common Stock Warrants Warrants to purchase 271,229 common shares were outstanding as of July 3, 1993, with an average exercise price of $0.87 per share. These warrants are part of the warrants to acquire 800,000 common shares that Whitmire granted to Amfac, Inc. and General Electric Capital Corporation on August 1, 1988 as part of the transaction in which Whitmire acquired substantially all of the assets of Amfac Health Care, a division of Amfac Distribution Corporation. The original warrant exercise price was $0.56 per share, the fair market value at the date of grant. The current average exercise price reflects increases effected in connection with the 1992 transactions described above. Common Stock Options Whitmire's common stock option plans were established to offer selected employees an opportunity to acquire common stock of Whitmire. Under the terms of the plans, both incentive and non-statutory options 22 WHITMIRE DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --- (CONTINUED) may be granted. Outstanding options generally vest ratably over a period of five years, subject to certain conditions. At July 3, 1993, options to acquire 164,917 shares were outstanding with an average exercise price of $16.64. As of July 3, 1993, no options had been exercised. 7.

(45.0%) (15.8%) Other, net .............................................. (2.0%) 1.9% 0.7% ----- ----- ---- Effective tax rate ...................................... 0.0% 52.6% 43.2% ===== ===== ==== Effective as of the beginning of fiscal 1992, Whitmire adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under the provisions of SFAS 109, income taxes are recorded under the liability method. SFAS 109 results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of existing differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes. The cumulative effect on retained earnings as of the beginning of 1992 of adopting SFAS 109 was not material and has been included in the provision for income taxes, and not separately presented in the accompanying statement of operations. For 1991, deferred federal income taxes result from timing differences between the amounts of reported assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their tax bases. Timing differences are due principally to differences in depreciable lives of property and equipment, cash discounts in inventory, the application of uniform inventory cost capitalization, tax regulations and differences in LIFO reserves. During 1991, net operating losses of approximately $2,475,000 and $1,082,000 were utilized for book and federal tax reporting purposes. The resulting benefit is included in the tax provision in the accompanying statement of operations and has not been reflected as an extraordinary item since it is not material to the financial statements. 8. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Whitmire's defined contribution retirement savings plan, which covers substantially ail of its employees after one year of service, provides for regular contributions by Whitmire based on salaries of eligible employees. In addition, employees may make pre-tax contributions up to 12% of their salary, subject to statutory limitations. The Company will match a minimum of 25% to a maximum of 50% of the first 6% of salary contributed by the employee, based upon Whitmire's earnings before taxes and amortization, but after interest and depreciation. Payments upon retirement or termination of employees are based on vested amounts credited to individual accounts. Costs of the plan charged to operations for 1991, 1992 and 1993 amounted to approximately $680,000, $775,000 and $982,000, respectively. 9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Whitmire becomes involved in litigation arising out of its normal business activities. In the opinion of management, Whitmire's liability, if any, under any pending litigation would not materially affect its financial position or results of operations. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On October 11, 1993, Whitmire and Cardinal Distribution, Inc. (Cardinal) entered into a definitive agreement whereby a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal will merge with and into Whitmire and Whitmire 24 WHITMIRE DISTRIBUTION CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --- (CONTINUED) will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal. Under the terms of the agreement, common shares and options of Whitmire will be exchanged for equivalent shares and options of Cardinal based upon an exchange ratio of 8.35 Cardinal common shares for each Whitmire common share. The transaction is expected to be accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. The merger is subject to stockholder and regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in early 1994. 25 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, including notes thereto, of Cardinal Distribution, Inc.

These borrowings are assumed to have been repaid from the liquidation of Cardinal's investments in tax-exempt marketable securities immediately following the Effective Time. Accordingly, pro forma adjustments of tax-exempt investment income included in the caption "Other, net" in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings have been calculated based on the weighted average rate of return on tax-exempt investments in the range of 2.45% for the six months ended September 30, 1993 to 6.33% for the year ended March 31, 1991. (2) STOCK WARRANTS Adjustment to reflect the issuance of 271,229 Whitmire Common Shares upon the exercise of all issued and outstanding stock warrants at an average exercise price of $0.87 per share immediately prior to the Effective Time. (3) MERGER EXPENSES Adjustment to reflect the estimated expense ($28 million, net of tax) of: (a) fees and other transaction costs related to the Merger, and (b) other nonrecurring costs expected to be incurred in connection with the subsequent integration of the two companies' business operations. These estimated expenses include approximately $7 million for anticipated investment banking, legal, accounting, and other related transaction fees and costs associated with the Merger; $13 million for corporate restructuring and distribution rationaliza- tion; $6 million for integration of information systems; and $2 million for restructuring Whitmire's revolving credit agreement. Of these estimated expenses, approximately $7 million pertain to the revaluation of certain operating assets and $2 million pertain to employee relocation, retraining and termination costs. These amounts are based on a preliminary estimate of the expenses to be incurred by Whitmire and Cardinal, and actual expenses may differ from such estimate. These expenses are considered to be nonrecurring and will be reflected in the actual earnings of the combined company. (4) WHITMIRE OVERLAPPING PERIODS Due to the different fiscal year ends of Cardinal and Whitmire, Whitmire's results for the three months ended July 3, 1993, and the three months ended June 27, 1992, have been included in both the respective fiscal years and the interim periods presented. The operating results for these two periods are summarized as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED -------------------------------- JULY 3, 1993 JUNE 27, 1992 ------------ ------------- (IN THOUSANDS) Net sales ....................................... $763,178 $541,977 Net earnings (loss) ............................. 4,739 (691) Preferred dividends declared/accretion .......... (719) (710) Net earnings (loss) available for common ........ 4,020 (1,401) 32 (5) CONFORMITY OF REPORTING Adjustment to conform with Cardinal's reporting presentation of certain customer service costs. The pro forma effect of this adjustment on Whitmire's historical gross margin as a percentage of net sales is summarized as follows: HISTORICAL PRO FORMA ---------- --------- Year Ended July 3, 1993 ................... 5.08% 3.83% June 27, 1992 ................... 5.71% 4.28% June 29, 1991 ................... 6.20% 4.56% Six Months Ended October 2, 1993 ................. 4.84% 3.65% September 26, 1992 .............. 5.31% 4.00% The decline in gross margins is offset by a corresponding decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. (6) PER SHARE AMOUNTS The pro forma net earnings per share reflect: (a) the weighted average number of Cardinal Common Shares that would have been outstanding had the Merger occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented based on an exchange ratio of 8.35 Cardinal Common Shares to be issued for each Whitmire Common Share outstanding, and (b) the dilutive impact of Cardinal and Whitmire stock options and warrants computed using the treasury stock method. (All Whitmire options and warrants are assumed to be converted into options and warrants for Cardinal Common Shares at an exchange ratio of 8.35 Cardinal Common Shares for each Whitmire Common Share before application of the treasury stock method.) In addition, the pro forma fully diluted net earnings per share reflect the assumed conversion of all of Cardinal's 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2015 from the date of issuance in July 1990 through the date of their call for redemption, effective July 2, 1993. (7) EFFECT OF UNUSUAL ITEMS The unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes the following unusual items: (a) equity transaction costs of $1,973,000 recorded by Whitmire in its fiscal quarter ended June 27, 1992, (b) a termination fee of approximately $13,466,000 recorded by Cardinal in its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1992, resulting from the termination by Durr-Fillauer Medical, Inc. of its agreement to merge with Cardinal, (c) certain nonrecurring charges of $9,882,000 recorded by Cardinal in its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1992, and (d) restructuring charges of $3,775,000 and a stock option compensation charge of $5,247,000 recorded by Whitmire in its fiscal quarter ended March 27, 1993.
