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

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 subsidiaries (the company) as of
September 30, 1995 and the results of operations for the
three and nine month periods and cash flows for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.
Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the 1995 presentation.

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

In general, the company uses estimated gross margin
rates to determine the cost of sales during interim
periods. To improve the accuracy of its estimated gross
margins for interim reporting purposes, the company
takes physical inventories at selected distribution
centers, and reported results of operations for the
quarter reflect the results of such inventories, if
materially different. 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. Nonrecurring Restructuring Expenses

During the third quarter and the first nine months of
1995, the company incurred $4.7 million and $11.4
million, respectively, of nonrecurring restructuring
expenses. During the third quarter and the first nine
months of 1994, the company incurred $9.0 million and
$27.7 million, respectively, of nonrecurring
restructuring expenses. These expenses were related to
the company's restructuring plan developed in connection
with the company's May 1994 combination with Stuart
Medical, Inc. and its related decision to contract out
the management and operation of its mainframe computer
system. All facility and system consolidations are
expected to be completed during 1995 with total 1995
restructuring expenses forecast to approximate $14
million. At September 30, 1995, accrued restructuring
expenses were $1.8 million.

5. Subsequent Events

On October 20, 1995, the company amended its $425
million Credit Facility. The amendment modifies certain
financial covenants of the existing agreement and, under
certain conditions, increases the pricing of the
agreement.

Item 2.
Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition


Net Sales

During the third quarter of 1995, net sales increased 6.6% to
$739.0 million from $693.0 million in the third quarter of
1994. For the first nine months of 1995, net sales increased
33.9% to $2.2 billion from $1.7 billion in the first nine
months of 1994. Assuming the Stuart Medical, Inc. (Stuart)
combination had occurred January 1, 1994, the increase would
have been approximately 5.0% for the third quarter and 10.4%
for the first nine months. The overall increase from 1994 is
due to the additional sales volume from contracts entered into
in 1993 and 1994 with large healthcare providers such as
Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., the Department of Defense and
Premier Health Alliance, and the price increases from
manufacturers which are normally passed on to the customer.

During 1995, members of VHA were given the opportunity to
choose one of four medical/surgical supply distributors as
their authorized distribution agent (ADA). In addition to
Owens & Minor, the distribution choices were Shared Service
Systems of Nebraska, the Burrows Company and newly-added
Baxter distribution. Under terms of an agreement reached
between VHA and Baxter manufacturing, all ADAs are authorized
to distribute a select group of Baxter self-manufactured
products to VHA healthcare organizations. With the completion
of the selection process, the company maintained over 85% of
its previous VHA volume. The loss of volume has been
partially offset by the gain in distributing Baxter's self-
manufactured products to VHA hospitals and by increasing
market share within VHA facilities as a result of the expanded
volume commitment of non-traditional products by these
accounts. Non-traditional products, in this case, are
products that have historically been sold directly to
hospitals by manufacturers, but are now beginning to come
through distribution, or products that have been sold through
other channels of distribution that are being consolidated
through one distributor.

As a result of its recent announcement regarding price
increases, the company anticipates losing some customers.
However, the company expects to offset this with contracts
recently awarded, further penetration of existing accounts, as
well as prospects for new business.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales declined to 8.0% in
the third quarter of 1995 from 9.6% in the third quarter of
1994. Gross margin also declined to 9.1% for the first nine
months of 1995 from 9.7% in the first nine months of 1994.
The decrease was a result of the increase in sales from lower
margin/high volume contracts and the recording of reserves for
inventory and sales credits during the third quarter. To
address this issue, the company has initiated several plans to
offset the margin declines, including an across-the-board
price increase and specific actions focused on low margin/low
return contracts. Although the price increase is currently in
the process of being implemented, groups representing the
majority of the company's sales have tentatively agreed to the
price increase. Because these agreements are in their
preliminary stages, their financial impact cannot be assured.
However, the company anticipates an improved gross margin as
a result of these actions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a
percentage of net sales increased from 6.8% in the third
quarter of 1994 to 7.7% in the third quarter of 1995. SG&A
expenses also increased from 7.0% for the first nine months of
1994 to 7.4% in the first nine months of 1995. The increase
in SG&A expenses was primarily a result of increased personnel
costs caused by system conversions, facility relocations and
new contracts providing for enhanced service levels and
services not previously provided by the company. The company
expects to reduce personnel levels once physical inventories
are completed.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by 2.0% in the third
quarter of 1995 compared to the third quarter of 1994 and
18.2% for the first nine months of 1995 compared to the first
nine months of 1994. These increases are due primarily to the
company's continued investment in improved technology and the
amortization of goodwill and depreciation associated with the
Stuart transaction.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased from $3.6
million in the third quarter of 1994 to $7.1 million in the
third quarter of 1995 and from $5.6 million for the first nine
months of 1994 to $18.2 million in the first nine months of
1995. Interest expense has increased significantly due to a
combination of higher interest rates and an increase in debt
to finance excess inventory levels, the Stuart combination and
the company's related restructuring plan and technology
initiatives.

On October 20, 1995, the company amended its $425 million
Credit Facility. The amendment modifies certain financial
covenants of the existing agreement and, under certain
conditions, increases the pricing of the agreement.

To reduce interest expense, the company has several
initiatives to reduce excess inventory levels. Inventory
levels are expected to decline as the company's new
client/server based forecasting system is implemented over the
next several months and as the company reduces excess
inventory generated from warehouse consolidations and
relocations and the start-up of new business.

Income Taxes

During the third quarter, the company's effective income tax
rate changed from an expense of 40.8% of pretax income through
the first six months of 1995 to a benefit of 18.8% through the
first nine months of 1995. This change is due to the
company's lower earnings level increasing the impact of
certain nondeductible expenses such as goodwill amortization.

Nonrecurring Restructuring Expenses

During the third quarter of 1995 and the first nine months of
1995, the company incurred $4.7 million and $11.4 million,
respectively, of nonrecurring restructuring expenses related
to the company's restructuring plan developed in connection
with the company's May 1994 combination with Stuart and its
related decision to contract out the management and operation
of its mainframe computer system. The restructuring expenses
incurred during the third quarter of 1995 relate primarily to
duplicate facilities, duplicate systems costs and expenses
related to contracting out the computer system. All
consolidations are expected to be completed during 1995, with
total 1995 restructuring expenses forecast to approximate $14
million.

Net Income (Loss)

During the third quarter of 1995, the company incurred a net
loss of $8.6 million compared to net income of $1.5 million
in 1994. During the first nine months of 1995, the company
incurred a net loss of $2.3 million compared to net income of
$1.1 million in 1994. Excluding the nonrecurring expenses and
the related tax benefit, the company recorded a net loss of
approximately $5.8 million or $.23 per common share for the
third quarter and net income of $4.6 million or $.02 per
common share for the first nine months. As previously
discussed, the losses were due to the combination of a decline
in gross margin, an increase in SG&A expenses and an increase
in interest expense. Although the initiatives previously
discussed are anticipated to improve the earnings of the
company, their impact cannot be assured.

Financial Condition

With the decrease in gross margin percentages and increases in
SG&A expenses and interest expense percentages as discussed,
return on common equity decreased. With the company's
increase in debt to finance excess inventory levels, the
Stuart combination and related restructuring plan, the current
ratio and capitalization ratio have increased and inventory
turnover has decreased. With the completion of the
consolidation of Stuart in September, the company will be able
to redirect its focus to reducing inventory levels, expenses,
and debt, and, in conjunction with its customers and
manufacturer partnerships, increasing margins.
