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, 2002 and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 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.
	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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization expense and related tax benefits:

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2002		2001		2002		2001
Net income	$	11,479	$	9,423	$	22,299	$	17,134
Goodwill amortization expense, net of tax benefit		—		1,335		—		2,670
Net income excluding goodwill amortization expense	$	11,479	$	10,758	$	22,299	$	19,804

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:

(in thousands)	Balance at December 31,  2001		Charges		Balance at June 30,  2002
Losses under lease commitments	$	737	$	228	$	509
Other		65		8		57
Total	$	802	$	236	$	566

	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:

(in thousands)	Balance at December 31, 2001		Charges		Adjustments		Balance at June 30, 2002
Losses under lease commitments	$	921	$	71	$	185	$	665
Asset write-offs		849		230		—		619
Total	$	1,770	$	301	$	185	$	1,284

Revolving Credit Facility

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% 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.  The refinancing resulted in a write-off of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million, which was included in interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

8.	Off Balance Sheet Receivables Financing Facility
	Effective April 30, 2002, the company replaced its off balance sheet receivables financing facility (Receivables Financing 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 based on either commercial paper rates, the Prime Rate, or LIBOR.  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 incurred fees related to the origination of the agreement of $0.7 million, which were included in discount on accounts receivable securitization for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
	At June 30, 2002, there were no outstanding sales under the Receivables Financing Facility.  At December 31, 2001, net accounts receivable of $70.0 million had been sold under the previous agreement and, as a result, were excluded from the consolidated balance sheet.
9.	Comprehensive Income
	The company’s comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is shown in the table below.

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Net income per common share – diluted	$	0.31	$	0.26	$	0.60	$	0.48

11.	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.

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 (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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Results of Operations
Second quarter and first six months of 2002 compared with 2001
Overview.  In the second quarter of 2002, the company earned net income of $11.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share, compared with $9.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2001.  For the first six months of 2002, the company earned net income of $22.3 million compared to $17.1 million in the first six months 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 adjustments to a restructuring reserve, net income increased by 14% from $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $11.4 million in 2002 and net income per diluted common share increased by 11% to $0.30 from $0.27 in the second quarter of 2001.  For the first six months of 2002, net income increased by 17% to $22.2 million from $19.0 million in 2001 and net income per diluted common share increased by 13% to $0.60 from $0.53, excluding the items mentioned above.  These increases are primarily attributable to success in controlling operating expenses and reductions in financing costs.

The following tables reconcile net income as reported under generally accepted accounting principles to income excluding goodwill amortization and changes in the restructuring reserve for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

Net sales.  Net sales increased 2.7% to $979.6 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $953.5 million in the second quarter of 2001.  Net sales increased 3.6% to $1.95 billion in the first six months of 2002 from $1.88 billion in the comparable period of 2001.  On a per-day basis, net sales increased 4.4%, as the first half of 2002 had one less sales day compared to the first half of 2001.  This increase in sales resulted primarily from further penetration of existing accounts as well as new business.  However, this increase was partially offset by declines in sales resulting from the loss of certain customers, including those who chose other distributors in 2001 in connection with the new Novation contract.  Management expects the rate of sales growth in 2002 to be lower than in recent years as a result of these factors.

Gross margin.  Gross margin for the second quarter and the first six months of 2002 was 10.6% of net sales, consistent with the same periods of 2001.  Both customer margin and margin from supplier incentives have remained consistent.  The company expects gross margin as a percentage of sales for the remainder of 2002 to remain consistent with 2001.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2002 were 7.6% of net sales, improved from 7.7% of net sales in the second quarter of 2001.  For the first six months of 2002, SG&A expenses were 7.7% of net sales, compared to 7.8% of net sales in the first half of 2001.  These decreases are partly the result of reductions in information technology costs as well as lower personnel costs due to the completion of significant customer transitions that occurred in 2001.  Additionally, SG&A continued to improve as a result of ongoing company-wide initiatives to improve productivity and control costs.

In July 2002, the company entered into a new, seven-year information technology agreement with Perot Systems Corporation, significantly expanding an existing outsourcing relationship.  As a result of the new agreement, O&M will cancel its existing contract for mainframe computer services and record a liability for cancellation costs of $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2002.

Excluding the anticipated $2.9 million cancellation charge, the company expects SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales for 2002 to be at least 10 basis points lower than in 2001.

Interest expense, net, and discount on accounts receivable securitization (financing costs).  Net financing costs totaled $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2002, compared with $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2001.  Excluding collections of customer finance charges, financing costs for the second quarter were $4.7 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from the second quarter of 2001.  Financing costs for the second quarter of 2002 included $0.7 million of fees associated with a new accounts receivable financing facility and a $0.2 million write-off of deferred fees resulting from the replacement of the company’s revolving credit facility.  The decrease in financing costs was primarily driven by lower outstanding financing and 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 by working capital requirements.

Restructuring credits.  As a result of a cancellation of a significant customer contract in 1998, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $6.6 million, net of tax, to downsize operations.  The company periodically re-evaluates its restructuring reserve, and since the actions under this plan have

17

resulted in lower projected total costs than originally anticipated, the company recorded reductions in the reserve which increased net income by approximately $0.1 million in 2002 and $0.8 million in 2001, net of taxes.

Income taxes.  The effective income tax rate was 40.5% for the second quarter and for the first six months of 2002, compared to 44.0% for the comparable periods of 2001.  This rate decrease results primarily from the elimination of goodwill amortization, much of which was not tax-deductible.  Excluding the effects of goodwill amortization and restructuring credits, the effective rate was 41.1% for the second quarter and 40.9% for the first six months of 2001.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity.  Combined outstanding debt and off balance sheet accounts receivable securitization decreased by $68.2 million to $205.2 million at June 30, 2002, from $273.4 million at December 31, 2001.  The company required less financing as many of the customer transitions that began in 2001 have been completed, and the high level of sales growth experienced in recent years has slowed.  Excluding sales of accounts receivable under the Receivables Financing Facility, $72.0 million of cash was provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2002, compared with $16.8 million used for operating activities in the first half of 2001.  This increase in operating cash flow was the result of inventory reductions made possible by the completion of customer transitions as well as increased levels of accounts payable due to the timing of both purchases and payments.  For the second quarter of 2002, annualized inventory turns increased to 10.0 from 8.7 in the fourth quarter of 2001.

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% 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 Financing 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 based on either commercial paper rates, the Prime Rate, or LIBOR.  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 June 30, 2002, the company had $148.6 million of unused credit under its revolving credit facility and the ability to sell $225.0 million of accounts receivable under its Receivables Financing Facility.

Capital Expenditures.  Capital expenditures were $5.3 million in the first six months of 2002, compared to $9.2 million in the first half of 2001.  Excluding the purchase of land for the company’s future headquarters, capital expenditures in the first half of 2001 were $5.9 million.  The company spent $3.9

18

million to purchase computer hardware and software, compared to $3.6 million in the first half of 2001. The company expects capital expenditures to continue at approximately the same level through 2002.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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.

In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.  The most significant provisions of SFAS 145 address the termination of extraordinary item treatment for gains and losses on early retirement of debt.  The company will be required to adopt the provisions of this standard beginning on January 1, 2003.  The company will be required to modify the presentation of its 2001 results with respect to its loss on early retirement of debt.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.  The provisions of SFAS 146 modify the accounting for the costs of exit and disposal activities by requiring that liabilities for those activities be recognized when the liability is incurred.  Previous accounting literature permitted recognition of some exit and disposal liabilities at the date of commitment to an exit plan.  The provisions of this statement will be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

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.  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.

Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements in this discussion constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied by these statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, including, but not limited to, general economic and business conditions; dependence on sales to certain customers; dependence on suppliers; competition; changing trends in customer profiles; the ability of the company to meet customer demand for additional value added services; the ability to convert customers to CostTrack; the availability of supplier incentives; the ability to capitalize on buying opportunities; the ability of business partners to perform their contractual responsibilities; the ability to manage operating expenses; the ability of the company to manage financing costs and interest rate risk; the risk that a decline in business volume or profitability could result in an impairment of goodwill; the

ability to timely or adequately respond to technological advances in the medical supply industry; the ability to successfully identify, manage or integrate possible future acquisitions; outcome of outstanding litigation; and changes in government regulations.  As a result of these and other factors, no assurance can be given as to the company’s future results.  The company is under no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results, or otherwise.

Item 3.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

O&M provides credit, in the normal course of business, to its customers. The company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for credit losses.

The company is exposed to market risk relating to changes in interest rates. To manage this risk, O&M uses interest rate swaps to modify the company’s balance of fixed and variable rate financing.  The company is exposed to certain losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these swap agreements. However, O&M’s exposure is not significant and, since the counterparties are investment grade financial institutions, nonperformance is not anticipated.

The company is exposed to market risk from both changes in interest rates related to its interest rate swaps and changes in discount rates related to its Receivables Financing Facility. Interest expense and discount on accounts receivable securitization are subject to change as a result of movements in interest rates. As of June 30, 2002, O&M had $100 million of interest rate swaps on which the company pays a variable rate based on LIBOR and receives a fixed rate. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $1.0 million per year in connection with the swaps. The company had no outstanding financing under its Receivables Financing Facility at June 30, 2002, but does sell receivables under the facility from time to time.  A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax earnings of approximately $0.1 million per year for every $10 million of outstanding financing under the Receivables Financing Facility.
