--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Company History
Owens and Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries (O&M or the company) is the leading
distributor of national name brand medical and surgical supplies in the United
States. The company was incorporated in Virginia on December 7, 1926, as a
successor to a partnership founded in Richmond, Virginia in 1882.
O&M has significantly expanded and strengthened its national presence in
recent years through internal growth and acquisitions. In July 1999, the company
acquired certain net assets of Medix, Inc. (Medix), a distributor of medical and
surgical supplies whose customers are primarily located in the Midwest,
strengthening the company's presence in this part of the country.
Industry Overview
Distributors of medical and surgical supplies provide a wide variety of products
and services to healthcare providers, including hospitals and hospital-based
systems, integrated healthcare networks (IHNs) and alternate care providers. The
medical/surgical supply distribution industry has experienced growth in recent
years due to the aging population and emerging medical technology resulting in
new healthcare procedures and products. Over the years, IHNs have continued to
change and model their health systems to meet the needs of the markets they
serve. They have forged partnerships with national medical and surgical supply
distributors to meet the challenges of managing the supply procurement and
distribution needs of their entire network. The traditional role of a
distributor in warehousing and delivering medical and surgical supplies to a
customer has evolved into the role of assisting customers to manage the entire
supply chain. Advances in information technology have enabled Owens & Minor to
assist IHNs in the management of product standardization initiatives, paving the
way for electronic commerce to play an increasingly important role in supply
chain management. O&M expects that further consolidation in the medical/surgical
supply distribution industry will continue due to the competitive advantages
enjoyed by larger distributors, which include, among other things, the ability
to serve nationwide customers, buy inventory in large volume and develop e-
commerce platforms and decision support systems.
Customers
O&M distributes over 170,000 finished medical and surgical products produced by
approximately 1,700 suppliers to approximately 4,000 customers nationwide. The
company's customers are primarily acute care hospitals and hospital-based
systems, which account for more than 90% of O&M's net sales. Other customers
include alternate care facilities such as nursing homes, clinics, surgery
centers, rehabilitation facilities, physicians' offices and home healthcare
organizations. The company provides distribution services under contractual
agreements with a number of large healthcare networks as well as major buying
groups that represent independently owned member hospitals. Most of O&M's sales
consist of disposable gloves, dressings, endoscopic products, intravenous
products, needles and syringes, sterile procedure trays, surgical products and
gowns, urological products and wound closure products.
Recently, the company has begun to provide distribution services for
manufacturers, helping them to implement logistics and e-commerce solutions. The
form of these arrangements varies, as Owens & Minor seeks to provide customized
services to meet the needs of its manufacturing partners. In 2000, the company
announced agreements with several manufacturers, including C. R. Bard Inc., Mead
Johnson Nutritionals(TM) and American Health Products Corporation.
National Healthcare Networks (Networks) and Group Purchasing Organizations
(GPOs). Networks and GPOs are entities that act on behalf of a group of
healthcare providers to obtain pricing and other benefits that may be
unavailable to individual members. Hospitals, physicians and other types of
healthcare providers have joined Networks and GPOs to take advantage of improved
economies of scale and to obtain services from medical and surgical supply
distributors ranging from discounted product pricing to logistical and clinical
support. Networks and GPOs negotiate directly with medical and surgical product
suppliers and distributors on behalf of their members, establishing exclusive or
multi-supplier relationships. Networks and GPOs cannot ensure that members will
purchase their supplies from a given distributor. O&M is a distributor for
Novation, an organization that manages purchasing for more than 5,000 healthcare
organizations. Novation was created in 1998 to serve member organizations of
VHA, which O&M has served since 1985, and University HealthSystem Consortium
(UHC), an alliance of academic health centers. Sales to Novation members
represented approximately 51% of O&M's net sales in 2000.

B U S I N E S S D E S C R I P T I O N ( c o n t i n u e d )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
In October 1998, O&M entered into an exclusive, eight-year medical/surgical
supply distribution agreement with Tenet Healthcare Corporation (Tenet), the
second largest for-profit hospital chain in the nation. In addition to being a
sole supplier to Tenet's approximately 110 acute care hospitals, O&M provides
distribution services to Broadlane, Tenet's GPO. One of the nation's leading
GPOs, Broadlane provides national contracting through its more than 500 acute
care hospitals and more than 2,000 other healthcare facilities.
Integrated Healthcare Networks (IHNs). An IHN is typically a network of
different types of healthcare providers that seeks to offer a broad spectrum of
healthcare services and comprehensive geographic coverage to a particular local
market. IHNs have become increasingly important because of their expanding role
in healthcare delivery and cost containment and their reliance upon the
hospital, O&M's traditional customer, as a key component of their organizations.
Individual healthcare providers within a multiple-entity IHN may be able to
contract individually for distribution services; however, the providers' shared
economic interests create strong incentives for participation in distribution
contracts established at the system level. Because IHNs frequently rely on cost
containment as a competitive advantage, IHNs have become an important source of
demand for O&M's enhanced inventory management and value-added services.
Individual Providers. In addition to contracting with healthcare providers at
the IHN level and through Networks and GPOs, O&M contracts directly with
individual healthcare providers. In 2000, not-for-profit hospitals represented a
majority of these facilities.
Suppliers
O&M believes its size and longstanding relationships enable it to obtain
attractive terms and incentives from suppliers and contribute to its gross
margin. The company has well-established relationships with virtually all major
suppliers of medical and surgical supplies, and has developed close working
relationships with its largest suppliers to create operating efficiencies in the
supply chain.
Approximately 16%, 17% and 18% of O&M's net sales in 2000, 1999 and 1998
were sales of Johnson & Johnson Hospital Services, Inc. products. Approximately
15% of the company's 2000 net sales and 12% of the company's 1999 and 1998 net
sales were sales of products of the subsidiaries of Tyco International.
Distribution
O&M employs a decentralized approach to sales and customer service through its
45 distribution centers, strategically located to serve customers in 50 states
and the District of Columbia. These distribution centers generally serve
hospitals and other customers within a 100- to 150-mile radius. O&M delivers
most medical and surgical supplies with a fleet of leased trucks. Contract
carriers and parcel services are used to transport all other medical and
surgical supplies.
Competition
The medical/surgical supply distribution industry in the United States is highly
competitive and consists of three major nationwide distributors: O&M; Allegiance
Corp., a subsidiary of Cardinal Health, Inc.; and McKesson General Medical
Corp., a subsidiary of McKesson HBOC, Inc. In 2000, Allegiance Corp. acquired
Bergen Brunswig Medical Corp., the medical and surgical distribution division of
Bergen Brunswig Corporation. The industry also includes smaller national
distributors of medical and surgical supplies and a number of regional and local
distributors.
Competitive factors within the medical/surgical supply distribution industry
include total delivered product cost, product availability, the ability to fill
and invoice orders accurately, delivery time, services provided, inventory
management, information technology, and the ability to meet special customer
requirements. O&M believes its emphasis on technology combined with its
decentralized and customer-focused approach to distribution of medical/surgical
supplies enables it to compete effectively with both larger and smaller
distributors by being located near the customer and offering a high level of
customer service. Further consolidation of medical/surgical supply distributors
is expected to continue through the purchase of smaller distributors by larger
companies as a result of competitive pressures in the marketplace.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset Management
O&M aims to provide the highest quality of service in the medical/surgical
supply distribution industry by focusing on providing suppliers and customers
with local sales and service support and the most responsive, efficient and
cost-effective distribution of medical and surgical products. The company draws
on technology to provide a broad range of value-added services to control
inventory and accounts receivable.
Inventory. Due to O&M's significant investment in inventory to meet the rapid
delivery requirements of its customers, efficient asset management is essential
to the company's profitability. The significant and ongoing emphasis on cost
control in the healthcare industry puts pressure on distributors and health-care
providers to create more efficient inventory management systems. O&M has
responded to these ongoing challenges by developing its inventory forecasting
capabilities, client/server warehouse management system, product standardization
and consolidation initiative, and vendor managed inventory process (VMI). VMI
allows some of the company's major suppliers to monitor daily sales and
inventory levels electronically so they can automatically and accurately
replenish O&M's inventory. These and other services have enabled the company to
grow sales without significantly increasing inventory levels.
Accounts Receivable. The company's credit practices are consistent with those of
other medical/surgical supply distributors. O&M actively manages its accounts
receivable to minimize credit risk and does not believe that credit risk
associated with accounts receivable poses a significant risk to its results of
operations.
Information Technology
In 1998, O&M signed a 10-year agreement with Perot Systems Corporation to
outsource its information technology (IT) operations and to procure strategic
application development services. This partnership has allowed the company to
provide additional resources to major IT initiatives to support internal
operations and to enhance services to the company's customers and suppliers. In
2000, O&M's capital expenditures included approximately $16.8 million for
computer hardware and software. O&M has focused its technology expenditures on
electronic commerce, data warehouse/decision support, supply chain
management/warehousing systems, sales and marketing programs and services, and
infrastructure enhancements.
Electronic Commerce. Owens & Minor is an industry leader in the use of
electronic commerce to exchange business transactions with trading partners. In
1999, the company introduced OM Direct, an Internet-based product catalog and
direct ordering system, to supplement existing electronic data interchange (EDI)
technologies.
The company also provides distribution services for several Internet-based
medical/surgical supply companies. O&M is committed to ongoing investment in an
open, Internet-based e-commerce platform to support the company's supply chain
management initiatives and to enable expansion into new market segments for
healthcare products. The company is committed to supporting e-commerce
initiatives throughout the industry, including Marketplace@Novation, Medibuy,
Broadlane, the Global Healthcare Exchange and others. The company expects to
serve as an integration point for customers, both healthcare providers and
suppliers.
Sales and Marketing
O&M's sales and marketing function is organized to support its decentralized
field sales teams of approximately 230 people. Based from the company's
distribution centers nationwide, the company's local sales teams are positioned
to respond to customer needs quickly and efficiently. In addition, Owens & Minor
has introduced a field organization focused on assisting customers in the
clinical environment, specializing in a knowledge of surgical products and
technology. The company's integrated sales and marketing strategy offers
customers value-added services in logistics, information management, asset
management and product mix management. O&M provides special training and support
tools to its sales team to help promote these programs and services.
O&M's value-added programs and services for its trading partners include the
following:
. CostTrack: This industry-leading activity-based management program helps
customers identify and track the cost-drivers in their distribution
activities, giving them the information they need to drive workflow
efficiencies, raise employee productivity and cut costs. With CostTrack,
the pricing of services provided to customers is no longer based on a
cost-plus model, but on the variety of the Owens & Minor services that
they choose. In 2000, over 20% of the company's net sales were generated
through the CostTrack program.

customers. FOCUS centers around both commodity and preference product
standardization. O&M requires its FOCUS partners to be market share
leaders and to meet strict certification standards, such as exceeding
minimum fill rates, offering a flexible returned goods policy and using
EDI.
Other Matters
Regulation. The medical/surgical supply distribution industry is subject to
regulation by federal, state and local government agencies. Each of O&M's
distribution centers is licensed to distribute medical and surgical supplies as
well as certain pharmaceutical and related products. The company must comply
with regulations, including operating and security standards for each of its
distribution centers, of the Food and Drug Administration, the Drug Enforcement
Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, state boards of
pharmacy and, in certain areas, state boards of health. O&M believes it is in
material compliance with all statutes and regulations applicable to distributors
of medical and surgical supply products and pharmaceutical and related products,
as well as other general employee health and safety laws and regulations.
Properties. O&M's corporate headquarters are located in western Henrico County,
in a suburb of Richmond, Virginia, in leased facilities. The company owns two
undeveloped parcels of land adjacent to its corporate headquarters. The company
leases offices and warehouses for its 45 distribution centers across the United
States. In the normal course of business, the company regularly assesses its
business needs and makes changes to the capacity and location of its
distribution centers. The company believes that its facilities are adequate to
carry on its business as currently conducted. All of O&M's distribution centers
are leased from unaffiliated third parties. A number of leases are scheduled to
terminate within the next several years. The company believes that, if
necessary, it could find facilities to replace these leased premises without
suffering a material adverse effect on its business.
Employees. At the end of 2000, the company had 2,763 full and part-time
employees. Management believes that relations with employees are good.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
2000 Financial Results
In 2000, O&M earned net income of $33.1 million, or $0.94 per diluted common
share, compared with $28.0 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, in 1999.
Net income in 2000 and 1999 was increased by $0.4 million and $0.6 million after
tax reductions of a restructuring reserve originally established in 1998. The
1998 restructuring charge of $11.2 million (pretax) reflected the company's plan
to downsize warehouse operations as a result of the cancellation of its contract
with HCA - The Healthcare Company (HCA). Excluding the reductions of the
restructuring reserve, net income for 2000 increased 19% to $32.7 million, or
$0.93 per diluted common share, from $27.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted common
share for 1999.

Acquisition. On July 30, 1999, the company acquired certain net assets of Medix,
Inc. (Medix), a distributor of medical/ surgical supplies, for approximately $83
million. The company paid cash of approximately $68 million and assumed debt of
approximately $15 million, which was paid off as part of the closing
transaction. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
identifiable net assets acquired of approximately $58 million has been recorded
as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. As
the acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, the operating results of Medix
have been included in the company's consolidated financial statements since July
30, 1999. This acquisition strengthens the company's presence in the Midwest and
provides opportunities for increased sales in this geographic area. Medix' net
sales were approximately $184 million for its last fiscal year, which ended
October 2, 1998. The success of the acquisition will depend in part on the
company's ability to integrate and capture synergies in the combined businesses.
In connection with the acquisition, management adopted a plan for
integration of the businesses that includes closure of some Medix facilities and
consolidation of certain administrative functions. An accrual of $2.7 million,
included in the allocation of the purchase price, was established to provide for
certain costs related to this plan. As of December 31, 2000, $1.1 million had
been spent, principally for lease payments on closed facilities and employee
separations. The integration of the Medix business is expected to be completed
in 2001.
Net sales.
Net sales increased by 10% to $3.50 billion for 2000, from $3.19
billion in 1999. Excluding the sales generated by customers acquired through the
Medix acquisition, net sales increased 6%. Most of this increase resulted from
higher sales volumes due to increased penetration of existing accounts, most
significantly Broadlane (formerly Tenet-BuyPower), whose distribution contract
began in February 1999.
Net sales increased by 3% to $3.19 billion for 1999, from $3.09 billion in
1998. Excluding the sales generated by the Medix acquisition, net sales
increased 1%. The increase in sales was due to new customer contracts, primarily
Broadlane, and increased penetration of existing accounts, offset by the loss of
the HCA contract, which was cancelled in mid-1998.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Gross margin. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for 2000 remained
unchanged from 1999 at 10.7%, and decreased slightly from 10.8% in 1998. From
1999 to 2000, customer margins decreased slightly due to changes in the
company's customer mix, including lower contract margins on business acquired
from Medix. These decreases, however, were offset by favorable vendor
initiatives. The decrease from 1998 to 1999 was a result of the benefits of
certain supply chain initiatives being recognized over a lower sales base in
1998. The company will continue to pursue opportunities for margin improvement.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales was 7.7% in 2000
compared with 7.8% in 1999 and 8.0% in 1998. The decreases from year to year as
a percentage of net sales were attributable to three major factors:
. economies of scale as a result of a higher sales base without a
significant increase in fixed costs
. operating efficiencies driven by improved warehouse technology
. continued management of administrative costs, including consolidation of
certain administrative functions
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by 11% in
2000 to $21.5 million, compared with $19.4 million in 1999 and $18.3 million in
1998. The increases from year to year were due, in part, to goodwill
amortization of $1.4 million and $0.6 million in 2000 and 1999 resulting from
the Medix acquisition. Excluding this amortization, depreciation and
amortization increased by 7% from 1999 to 2000 and by 3% from 1998 to 1999 as a
result of higher capital spending associated with information technology
initiatives. O&M anticipates similar increases in depreciation in 2001 as the
company continues to invest in information technology.
Net interest expense and discount on accounts receivable securitization
(financing costs). Net financing costs totaled $19.4 million in 2000, compared
with $17.1 million in 1999 and $18.7 million in 1998. Net financing costs
included collections of customer finance charges of $5.3 million in 2000, up
from $4.6 million in 1999 and $3.0 million in 1998. Excluding the collection of
customer finance charges, financing costs increased to $24.8 million in 2000
from $21.7 million in both 1999 and 1998. The increase in financing costs was
due to a combination of higher interest rates due to external market forces and
an increase in outstanding financing resulting from the Medix acquisition.
Average daily outstanding financing, which includes debt and accounts receivable
sold under the company's off balance sheet receivables financing facility
(Receivables Financing Facility), increased to $262.7 million for 2000 from
$245.6 million in 1999. O&M expects to continue to manage its financing costs by
continuing its working capital reduction initiatives and management of interest
rates.
Nonrecurring restructuring expenses (credits). As a result of the HCA contract
cancellation in the second quarter of 1998, the company recorded a nonrecurring
restructuring charge of $11.2 million, or $6.6 million after taxes, to downsize
operations. In the second quarters of 1999 and 2000, the company re-evaluated
its restructuring reserve. Since the actions under this plan had resulted in
lower projected total costs than originally anticipated, the company recorded
reductions in the reserve of $1.0 million in 1999 and $0.8 million in 2000, or
approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million after taxes. In 2000, 1999 and 1998,
amounts of $1.8 million, $2.1 million and $2.0 million were charged against this
liability. The remaining accrual consists primarily of losses on lease
commitments for vacated warehouse and office space on leases through as late
24
--
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as 2006, as well as anticipated asset write-offs. Management attempts to
sublease the vacant space when practicable to reduce the cost of the
restructuring plan.
Income taxes. The income tax provision was $27.1 million in 2000, $22.1 million
in 1999, and $14.6 million in 1998. O&M's effective tax rate was 45.0% in 2000,
compared with 44.1% in 1999 and 42.0% in 1998. The increase in the effective tax
rate from year to year results primarily from the increase in certain
nondeductible expenses.
Net income. Net income increased 18% to $33.1 million in 2000 from $28.0 million
in 1999. For 1999, net income was 39% higher than 1998. The increase from 1998
to 1999 was primarily due to the impact of the nonrecurring restructuring charge
discussed above. Excluding the effect of the restructuring charge and subsequent
credits, 2000 net income increased to $32.7 million from $27.4 million in 1999
and $26.8 million in 1998 and net income per diluted common share increased to
$0.93 compared to $0.80 in 1999 and $0.75 in 1998. Excluding the effect of the
restructuring charge, 1999 net income attributable to common stock increased to
$27.4 million compared to $24.9 million in 1998. The increase resulted from the
retirement of the company's outstanding Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock in
May 1998 which was funded through the issuance of $132.0 million of mandatorily
redeemable preferred securities. This favorable trend in net income from year to
year is primarily due to the increase in sales and success in controlling
operating expenses through productivity improvements.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. As a result of favorable cash flows from operations, combined
outstanding debt and off balance sheet accounts receivable securitization
decreased by $47.3 million to $233.5 million at December 31, 2000. Excluding
sales of accounts receivable and their subsequent collections under the
company's receivables financing facility, $68.8 million of cash was provided by
operating activities in 2000, compared to $61.7 million in 1999 and $67.5
million in 1998.
In July 1999, the company acquired certain net assets of Medix for
approximately $83 million. This acquisition was funded by cash flow from
operations and an increase in outstanding debt.
During 2000, the company replaced its revolving credit facility and
receivables financing facility with new facilities expiring in April 2003 and
July 2001. The new revolving credit facility allows the company to borrow up to
$225 million, unchanged from the prior facility. Under the new receivables
financing facility, the company can sell up to $225 million of accounts
receivable, an increase of $75 million from the prior facility. 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 December 31, 2000, O&M had $222.8 million of unused credit under its
revolving credit facility and the ability to sell an additional $145.0 million
of accounts receivable under the receivables financing facility.
Working Capital Management. The company's working capital increased by $14.2
million from December 31, 1999, to $233.6 million at December 31, 2000,
primarily due to a reduction in the amount of receivables sold under the
financing facility. As of December 31, 2000, $80.0 million of receivables were
sold, compared to $105.6 million at December 31, 1999. Excluding the impact of
the financing facility, accounts receivable increased by $9.4 million to $341.9
million at December 31, 2000.
The company continues to focus on the management of inventory levels, and
inventory turnover increased to 9.5 times for the year ended December 31, 2000,
from 9.2 times for the year ended December 31, 1999, due to a combination of
higher sales and reduced inventory levels.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures were approximately $19.6 million in
2000, of which approximately $16.8 million was for computer hardware and
software. The company expects to continue supporting strategic initiatives and
improving operational efficiency through investments in technology, including
system upgrades and the development of electronic commerce. The company expects
future expenditures to be funded through cash flow from operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 1999, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
137, Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133, Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities. SFAS 137 delayed the
effective date of SFAS 133 by one year. In September 2000, the FASB amended SFAS
133 with SFAS 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. The company will be
25

ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
required to adopt the provisions of this standard beginning on January 1, 2001.
As a result, the company's interest rate swaps will be recognized on the
consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at fair value, and
the carrying amounts of certain liabilities hedged by the swaps will be adjusted
based on changes in the values of the hedging instruments. At January 3, 2001,
the interest rate swaps had a fair value of $0.2 million as an asset. Adoption
of this standard will not have a material effect on the company's net income.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement
of SFAS 125 of the same title. SFAS 140 revises the standards for securitiza-
tions and other transfers of financial assets and expands the disclosure
requirements for such transactions, while carrying over many of the provisions
of SFAS 125 without change. The provisions of SFAS 140 are effective for
transfers of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after
March 31, 2001, and are to be applied prospectively. Management is in the
process of evaluating this standard, but does not believe that it will change
the company's treatment of sales of accounts receivable under its Receivables
Financing Facility, or have any material effect on the company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The company has
adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 140, which were required to be
implemented in 2000. These disclosures are included in Note 8 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Risks. The company is subject to risks associated with changes in the medical
industry, including continued efforts to control costs, which place pressure on
operating margin, and changes in the way medical and surgical services are
delivered to patients. 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.
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
exposure to interest rate movements and reduce borrowing costs. The company
enters into these derivative transactions pursuant to its policies in areas such
as counterparty exposure and hedging practices. O&M's net exposure to interest
rate risk consists of floating rate instruments that are benchmarked to London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). 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 changes in interest rates
related to its interest rate swaps. Interest expense is subject to change as a
result of movements in interest rates. As of December 31, 2000, 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
10%, or 70 basis points, would result in a potential reduction in future pre-tax
earnings of approximately $0.7 million per year in connection with these swaps.
Forward-Looking Statements. Certain statements in this discussion constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, including, but not limited to, general economic and business
conditions, competition, changing trends in customer profiles, outcome of
outstanding litigation, and changes in government regulations. Although O&M
believes its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are
based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its
business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results,
performance or achievements of the company will not differ materially from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. Owens & Minor, Inc. is the leading distributor of
national name brand medical and surgical supplies in the United States. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Owens & Minor, Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the company). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management assumptions and estimates that affect
amounts reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and
marketable securities with an original maturity or maturity at acquisition of
three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which
approximates market value.
Accounts Receivable. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. Allowances for
doubtful accounts of $6.4 million and $6.5 million have been applied as
reductions of accounts receivable at December 31, 2000 and 1999.
Merchandise Inventories. The company's merchandise inventories are valued on a
last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost or, if ac-
quired under capital leases, at the lower of the present value of minimum lease
payments or fair market value at the inception of the lease. Normal maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred, and renovations and betterments are capi-
talized. Depreciation and amortization are provided for financial reporting
purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets or, for capital leases and leasehold improvements, over the terms of the
lease, if shorter. In general, the estimated useful lives for computing depre-
ciation and amortization are four to eight years for warehouse equipment and
three to eight years for computer, office and other equipment. Straight-line
and accelerated methods of depreciation are used for income tax purposes.
Goodwill. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years from the
dates of acquisition. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, goodwill was $238.8
million and the related accumulated amortization was $34.0 million and $28.0
million. Based upon management's assessment of undiscounted future cash flows,
the carrying value of goodwill at December 31, 2000 has not been impaired. The
carrying value of goodwill could be impacted if estimated future cash flows are
not achieved.
Computer Software. The company develops and purchases software for internal
use. Software development costs incurred during the application development
stage are capitalized. Once the software has been installed and tested and is
ready for use, additional costs incurred in connection with the software are
expensed as incurred. Capitalized computer software costs are amortized over
the estimated useful life of the software, usually between 3 and 5 years. Com-
puter software costs are included in other assets, net in the consolidated bal-
ance sheets. Unamortized software at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $23.7 mil-
lion and $18.2 million. Depreciation and amortization expense includes $6.1
million, $4.9 million and $5.1 million of software amortization for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.
Investment. The company owns equity securities of a provider of business-to-
business e-commerce services in the healthcare industry. The investment is
classified as available-for-sale, in accordance with SFAS 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and is included in other
assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses, net of tax, reported as accumulated other comprehensive loss.
At December 31, 2000, the estimated fair value (based on the quoted market
price), gross unrealized loss and cost basis of this investment were $0.2
million, $1.0 million and $1.2 million. At December 31, 1999, the investment
was stated at its cost basis of $1.2 million, as there was no market for the
securities at that time.
31
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue Recognition. The company recognizes product revenue when product has
been shipped, fees are determinable, and collectibility is probable. Service
revenue is recognized ratably over the period during which services are provid-
ed. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Ac-
counting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which
clarifies the application of generally accepted accounting principles to reve-
nue recognition in financial statements. The company adopted the provisions of
SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of 2000. No changes in accounting principles or
restatements were required, as the company's revenue recognition policy was in
compliance with the SAB.
Reclassification of Shipping Fees. In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs. This consensus requires that all amounts billed to a
customer in a sale transaction related to shipping and handling represent reve-
nue and should be classified as such. Prior to the consensus, the company clas-
sified certain amounts billed to customers for shipping as a reduction of out-
bound freight costs in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. The
company adopted the provisions of the consensus in the fourth quarter of 2000
and, accordingly, reclassified these amounts from SG&A expenses to net sales
for all prior periods. As a result, net sales, gross margin, and SG&A expenses
for 1999 and 1998 have been increased by $7.8 million and $7.9 million. Ship-
ping costs are included in SG&A expenses.
Stock-based Compensation. The company uses the intrinsic value method as de-
fined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 to account for stock-based
compensation. This method requires compensation expense to be recognized for
the excess of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or the
measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The
disclosures required by SFAS 123 are included in Note 11 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments. The company enters into interest rate swaps
as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These instruments are
designated as hedges of interest-bearing liabilities and anticipated cash flows
associated with off balance sheet financing. Net payments or receipts are
accrued as interest payable or receivable and as interest expense or income.
Fees related to these instruments are amortized over the life of the
instrument. If the outstanding balance of the underlying liability were to drop
below the notional amount of the swap, the excess portion of the swap would be
marked to market, and the resulting gain or loss included in net income.
Effective January 1, 2001, the company will adopt SFAS 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS 137,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, and SFAS 138, Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities. SFAS 133 requires that
an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at
fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative
depends on the use of the derivative. Adoption of these new accounting
standards is not expected to have a material effect on the company's net
income, but will change the reported values of assets and liabilities recorded
in the consolidated balance sheet.
32
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Segments. As defined in SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, the company has 11 operating segments,
representing various geographic areas within the United States. As each of
these segments is substantially identical to the others in each of the five ag-
gregation characteristics identified in the statement, they are considered one
operating segment for purposes of financial statement disclosure.
Note 2 - Acquisition
On July 30, 1999, the company acquired certain net assets of Medix, Inc.
(Medix), a distributor of medical and surgical supplies, for approximately $83
million. Medix' customers, located primarily in the Midwest, included acute
care hospitals, long-term care facilities and clinics. The acquisition has been
accounted for by the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results of
Medix have been included in the company's consolidated financial statements
since the date of acquisition. Assuming the acquisition had been made at the
beginning of the periods, consolidated net sales, on a pro forma basis would
have been approximately $3.31 billion and $3.28 billion for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998. Consolidated net income and net income per share on
a pro forma basis would not have been materially different from the results re-
ported.
The company paid cash of approximately $68 million and assumed debt of
approximately $15 million, which was paid off as part of the closing
transaction. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
identifiable net assets acquired of approximately $58 million has been recorded
as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
In connection with the acquisition, management adopted a plan for integration
of the businesses that includes closure of some Medix facilities and consolida-
tion of certain administrative functions. An accrual was established to provide
for certain costs of this plan. The following table sets forth the major compo-
nents of the accrual and activity through December 31, 2000:
(in thousands)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balance at
Exit Plan December 31,
Provision Charges 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------
Losses under lease commitments $1,643 $ 358 $1,285
Employee separations 395 312 83
Other 685 404 281
--------------------------------------------------------------
Total $2,723 $1,074 $1,649
--------------------------------------------------------------
The employee separations relate to severance costs for employees in
operations and activities being exited. As of December 31, 2000, approximately
40 employees had been terminated. The integration of the Medix business is
expected to be completed in 2001.
33
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 3 - Restructuring
In the second quarter of 1998, the company recorded a nonrecurring
restructuring charge of $11.2 million related to the impact of the
cancellation of its medical/surgical distribution contract with HCA - The
Healthcare Company (HCA). The restructuring plan includes reductions in
warehouse space and in the number of employees in those facilities that had
the highest volume of business with HCA. In the second quarters of 2000 and
1999, the company re-evaluated its estimate of the remaining costs to be
incurred and reduced the accrual by $0.8 million in 2000 and $1.0 million in
1999. Approximately 130 employees were terminated in connection with the
restructuring plan.
The following table sets forth the activity in the restructuring accrual
through December 31, 2000:

Total $11,200 $5,911 $(1,750) $3,539
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 4 - Merchandise Inventories
The company's merchandise inventories are valued on a LIFO basis. If LIFO
inventories had been valued on a current cost or first-in, first-out (FIFO)
basis, they would have been greater by $31.6 million and $28.6 million as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term debt $152,872 $159,247 $174,553 $179,803
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In May 1996, the company issued $150.0 million of 10.875% Senior Subordinated
10-year notes (Notes), which mature on June 1, 2006. Interest on the Notes is
payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1. The Notes are redeemable, after
June 1, 2001, at the company's option, subject to certain restrictions. The
Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all
significant subsidiaries of the company, other than O&M Funding Corp. (OMF) and
Owens & Minor Trust I.
In April 2000, the company replaced its Revolving Credit Facility with a new
agreement. The new Revolving Credit Facility expires in April 2003 with
interest based on, at the company's discretion, LIBOR or the Prime Rate. The
company is charged a commitment fee of between 0.20% and 0.275% on the unused
portion of the facility and a utilization fee of 0.25% if borrowings exceed
$112.5 million. The terms of the Revolving Credit Facility 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, and restrict the ability of the company to materially alter the
character of the business through consolidation, merger or purchase or sale of
assets. At December 31, 2000, the company was in compliance with these
covenants.
The company entered into a financing agreement for computer software
licenses. This agreement requires periodic payments through January 2002, and
interest is imputed at a rate of 7.0%.
Net interest expense includes finance charge income of $5.3 million, $4.6
million, and $3.0 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998. Finance charge income repre-
sents payments from customers for past due balances on their accounts. Cash
payments for interest during 2000, 1999, and 1998 were $16.5 million, $16.0
million, and $16.4 million.
The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on the borrowing rates
currently available to the company for loans with similar terms and average
maturities. The annual maturities of long-term debt within the five years
subsequent to December 31, 2000 are: $0.7 million in 2001, $0.7 million in 2002
and $2.2 million in 2003.
35
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 8 - Off Balance Sheet Receivables Financing Facility
Effective July 14, 2000, the company replaced its Receivables Financing Facil-
ity with a new facility expiring in July 2001. Under the terms of the new fa-
cility, OMF is entitled to transfer, without recourse, certain of the company's
trade receivables and to receive up to $225.0 million from a group of unrelated
third party purchasers at a cost of funds equal to commercial paper rates, the
Prime Rate or LIBOR (plus a charge for administrative and credit support serv-
ices). The terms of the new facility require the company to maintain certain
levels of net worth, current ratio, leverage ratio and fixed coverage, and re-
strict the company's ability to materially alter the character of the business
through consolidation, merger, or purchase or sale of assets. The company con-
tinues to service the receivables that are transferred under the facility.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, net accounts receivable of $80.0 million and
$105.6 million, respectively, had been sold under the agreements in effect at
those dates and, as a result, have been derecognized in the consolidated
balance sheet.
Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments
The company manages its interest rate risk primarily through the use of
interest rate swap agreements. The company's interest rate swap agreements as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999 included $100.0 million notional amounts that
effectively converted a portion of the company's fixed rate financing
instruments to variable rates. Under these swap agreements, expiring in May
2006, the company pays the counterparties a variable rate based on LIBOR and
the counterparties pay the company a fixed interest rate ranging from 7.35% to
7.38% in 2000 and 7.29% to 7.32% in 1999. At the option of the counterparties,
these swaps can be terminated in 2001. As of December 31, 1999, the company
also had $65.0 million notional amount of interest rate swap agreements that
effectively converted the company's variable rate financing instruments to
fixed rate instruments. Under these swap agreements, which were terminated in
November 2000, the company paid the counterparties a fixed rate ranging from
5.75% to 5.93% and the counterparties paid the company a variable rate based
on LIBOR.
The payments received or disbursed in connection with the interest rate swaps
are included in interest expense, net. Based on estimates of the prices
obtained from a dealer, the company had an unrealized gain of approximately
$0.1 million and an unrealized loss of approximately $1.0 million at December
31, 2000 and 1999 for the fixed to variable rate swaps, and an unrealized gain
of approximately $0.7 million at December 31, 1999 for the variable to fixed
rate swaps.
The company is exposed to certain losses in the event of nonperformance by
the counterparties to these swap agreements. However, the company's exposure is
not material and, since the counterparties are investment grade financial
institutions, nonperformance is not anticipated.
Note 10 - Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities
In May 1998, Owens & Minor Trust I (Trust), a statutory business trust
sponsored and wholly owned by Owens & Minor, Inc. (O&M), issued 2,640,000
shares of $2.6875 Term Convertible Securities, Series A (Securities), for
aggregate proceeds of $132.0 million. Each Security has a liquidation value of
$50. The net proceeds were invested by the Trust in 5.375% Junior Subordinated
Convertible Debentures of O&M (Debentures). The Debentures are the sole assets
of the Trust. O&M applied substantially all of the net proceeds of the
Debentures to repurchase 1,150,000 shares of its Series B Cumulative Preferred
Stock at its par value.
The Securities accrue and pay quarterly cash distributions at an annual rate
of 5.375% of the liquidation value. Each Security is convertible into 2.4242
shares of the common stock of O&M at the holder's option prior to May 1, 2013.
The Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures
on April 30, 2013, and may be redeemed by the company in whole or in part after
May 1, 2001. The obligations of the Trust, as provided under the term of the
Securities, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by O&M.
The estimated fair value of the Securities was $122.1 million and $79.5
million at December 31, 2000 and 1999 based on quoted market prices. As of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, the company had accrued $1.2 million of
distributions related to the Securities.
36
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 11 - Stock-based Compensation
The company maintains stock-based compensation plans (Plans) that provide for
the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted
common stock and common stock. The Plans are administered by the Compensation
and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors and allow the company to award
or grant to officers, directors and employees incentive, non-qualified and
deferred compensation stock options, SARs and restricted and unrestricted
stock. At December 31, 2000, approximately 0.6 million common shares were
available for issuance under the Plans.
Stock options awarded under the Plans generally vest over three years and
expire ten years from the date of grant. The options are granted at a price
equal to fair market value at the date of grant. Restricted stock awarded under
the Plans generally vests over three or five years. At December 31, 2000, there
were no SARs outstanding.
The company has a Management Equity Ownership Program. This program requires
each of the company's officers to own the company's common stock at specified
levels, which gradually increase over five years. Officers who meet specified
ownership goals in a given year are awarded restricted stock under the
provisions of the program. The company also has an Annual Incentive Plan. Under
the plan, certain employees may be awarded restricted stock based on pre-
established objectives. Upon issuance of restricted shares, unearned
compensation is charged to shareholders' equity for the market value of
restricted stock and recognized as compensation expense ratably over the
vesting period. Amortization of unearned compensation for restricted stock
awards was approximately $693 thousand, $534 thousand and $302 thousand for
2000, 1999, and 1998.
The following table summarizes the activity and terms of outstanding options
at December 31, 2000, and for the years in the three-year period then ended:

Using the intrinsic value method, the company's 2000, 1999 and 1998 net in-
come includes stock-based compensation expense (net of tax benefit) of approxi-
mately $381 thousand, $306 thousand and $201 thousand. Had the company included
in stock-based compensation expense the fair value at grant date of stock op-
tion awards granted in 2000, 1999 and 1998, net income would have been $32.4
million (or $0.99 per basic common share and $0.92 per diluted common share),
$26.6 million (or $0.82 per basic common share and $0.78 per diluted common
share) and $19.0 million (or $0.52 per basic and diluted common share) for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. The weighted average fair value
of options granted in 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $2.69, $4.35 and $4.06, per op-
tion. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for
grants: dividend yield of 1.6%-3.0% in 2000, 1.6%-2.4% in 1999, and 1.2%-1.5%
in 1998; expected volatility of 36.7% in 2000, 32.4%-38.6% in 1999, and 32.4%-
37.9% in 1998; risk-free interest rate of 5.1% in 2000, 6.4% in 1999, and 4.7%
in 1998; and expected lives of 5 years in 2000 and 2.1-5.1 years in 1999 and
1998.
Note 12 - Retirement Plans
Savings and Protection Plan. The company maintains a voluntary Savings and
Protection Plan covering substantially all full-time employees who have
completed one month of service and have attained age 18. The company matches a
certain percentage of each employee's contribution. The plan provides for a
minimum contribution by the company to the plan for all eligible employees of
1% of their salary. This contribution can be increased at the company's
discretion. The company incurred approximately $2.7 million, $2.5 million and
$2.1 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998 of expenses related to this plan.
Pension Plan. The company has a noncontributory pension plan covering
substantially all employees who had earned benefits as of December 31, 1996. On
that date, substantially all of the benefits of employees under this plan were
frozen, with all participants becoming fully vested. The company expects to
continue to fund the plan based on federal requirements, amounts deductible for
income tax purposes and as needed to ensure that plan assets are sufficient to
satisfy plan liabilities. As of December 31, 2000, plan assets consist
primarily of equity securities, including 34 thousand shares of the company's
common stock, and U.S. Government securities.
Retirement Plan. The company also has a noncontributory, unfunded retirement
plan for certain officers and other key employees. Benefits are based on a
percentage of the employees' compensation. The company maintains life insurance
policies on plan participants to act as a financing source for the plan.

sion Plan and 7.75% for the Retirement Plan in 2000 and 7.0% for the Pension
Plan and 8.0% for the Retirement Plan in 1999. The rate of increase in future
compensation levels used in determining the projected benefit obligation was
5.5% in 2000 and 1999. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was
assumed to be 8.5% in 2000 and 1999.

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the company had a $0.05 million and $0.04
million valuation allowance, for state net operating losses. Based on the level
of historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over the
periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it
is more likely than not that the company will realize the benefits of these
deductible differences, net of existing valuation allowances. Cash payments for
income taxes for 2000, 1999, and 1998 were $23.8 million, $17.9 million, and
$14.1 million, respectively.
In August 2000, the company received notice from the Internal Revenue Service
that it has disallowed certain prior year deductions for interest on loans
associated with the company's corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) program.
Management believes that the company has complied with the tax law as it
relates to its COLI program, and has filed an appeal with the Internal Revenue
Service. The impact of the disallowance of these deductions, if appeals were
unsuccessful, would be approximately $8.5 million after tax, including
interest. The ultimate resolution of this matter may take several years and a
determination adverse to the company could have a material impact on the
company's results of operations.

During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, outstanding options
to purchase approximately 1,550 thousand, 2,263 thousand and 461 thousand
common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per
share because their exercise price exceeded the average market price for the
year.
Note 15 - Shareholders' Equity
In May 1998, the company repurchased all of the shares of its Series B
preferred stock at par value. Each share of preferred stock had an annual
dividend of $4.50, payable quarterly, had voting rights on items submitted to a
vote of the holders of common stock and was convertible into approximately 6.1
shares of common stock at the shareholder's option.
The company has a shareholder rights agreement under which 8/27ths of a Right
is attendant to each outstanding share of common stock of the company. Each
full Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the company one one-
hundredth of a share of Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (the
Series A Preferred Stock), at an exercise price of $75 (the Purchase Price).
The Rights will become exercisable, if not earlier redeemed, only if a person
or group acquires 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the company's common
stock or announces a tender offer, the consummation of which would result in
ownership by a person or group of 20% or more of such outstanding shares. Each
holder of a Right, upon the occurrence of certain events, will become entitled
to receive, upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, Series A Preferred
Stock (or in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the
company or a potential acquirer) having a value equal to twice the amount of
the Purchase Price. The Rights will expire on April 30, 2004, if not earlier
redeemed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 16 - Commitments And Contingencies
The company has a commitment through November 2, 2008 to outsource its informa-
tion technology operations, including strategic application development servic-
es. The commitment is cancelable after November 2, 2003 with 180 days prior no-
tice and payment of a minimum termination fee of between $3.0 million to $12.0
million depending upon the date of termination. The company has a commitment
through December 2005 to outsource the management and operation of its main-
frame computer. This commitment is cancelable at any time on 180 days prior no-
tice and a minimum termination fee of between $1.7 million and $3.5 million,
depending upon the date of termination.
The company also has entered into non-cancelable agreements to lease certain
office and warehouse facilities with remaining terms ranging from one to seven
years. Certain leases include renewal options, generally for five-year
increments. At December 31, 2000, future minimum annual payments under non-
cancelable operating lease agreements with original terms in excess of one year
are as follows:

-------------------------------
Total minimum payments $81,785
-------------------------------
Rent expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998 was $28.1 million, $26.1 million, and $26.1 million.
The company has limited concentrations of credit risk with respect to
financial instruments. Temporary cash investments are placed with high credit
quality institutions and concentrations within accounts and notes receivable
are limited due to their geographic dispersion.
Net sales to member hospitals under contract with Novation totaled $1.8 bil-
lion in 2000, $1.7 billion in 1999 and $1.5 billion in 1998, approximately 51%,
53% and 49%, of the company's net sales. As members of a group purchasing
organization, Novation hospitals have an incentive to purchase from their pri-
mary selected distributor; however, they operate independently and are free to
negotiate directly with distributors and manufacturers.
Note 17 - Legal Proceedings
Prior to December 1992, the company's subsidiary Stuart Medical, Inc. (Stuart),
which was acquired in 1994, distributed spinal fixation devices manufactured by
Sofamor S.N.C. (formerly known as Sofamor, S.A.). As of January 8, 2001, Stuart
was named as a defendant in 26 lawsuits alleging personal injuries attributable
to spinal fixation devices distributed by Stuart (the Cases).
On August 9, 1999, Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Inc., Danek Medical, Inc. and
Sofamor, S.N.C., successors to the manufacturer of the spinal fixation devices
distributed by Stuart, assumed the defense of Stuart and indemnified Stuart and
others against all costs of defense, any settlements and/or any adverse
judgment(s) that may be entered against Stuart in these Cases. Stuart also
retains insurance coverage for the defense of the Cases. In addition, the
company and Stuart are contractually entitled to indemnification by the former
shareholders of Stuart for any liabilities and related expenses incurred by the
company or Stuart in connection with the foregoing litigation. Management
believes that Stuart's available insurance coverage, together with the
indemnification rights discussed above, is adequate to cover any losses should
they occur. The company is not aware of any uncertainty as to the availability
and adequacy of such insurance or indemnification, although there can be no
assurance that the Sofamor successor companies, Stuart's insurance carriers and
former shareholders will have sufficient financial resources in the future to
meet such obligations.
43
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of December 31, 2000, approximately 174 lawsuits (the Lawsuits), seeking
compensatory and punitive damages, in most cases of an unspecified amount,
have been filed in various federal and state courts against the company, prod-
uct manufacturers and other distributors and sellers of natural rubber latex
products. The company has obtained dismissal or summary judgment in 45 cases.
The Lawsuits allege injuries arising from the use of latex products,
principally medical gloves. The active Lawsuits (122) also include claims by
approximately 80 spouses asserting loss of consortium. The company may be
named as a defendant in additional, similar lawsuits in the future. In the
course of its medical supply business, the company has distributed latex prod-
ucts, including medical gloves, but it does not, nor has it ever manufactured
any latex products. The company has tendered the defense of the Lawsuits to
manufacturer defendants whose gloves were distributed by the company. The com-
pany will continue to vigorously pursue indemnification from latex product
manufacturers. The company's insurers are paying all costs of defense in the
Lawsuits, and the company believes, at this time, that future defense costs
and any potential liability should be adequately covered by the insurance,
subject to policy limits and insurer solvency. Most of the Lawsuits are at the
early stages of trial preparation. Several Lawsuits that were scheduled for
trial have been dismissed on summary judgment. After analyzing the above fac-
tors at this point in time, it would appear that the likelihood of a material
loss to the company with respect to the Lawsuits is remote.
The company is party to various other legal actions that are ordinary and
incidental to its business. While the outcome of legal actions cannot be pre-
dicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of these proceedings
will not have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition
or results of operations.
Note 18 - Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information
for: Owens & Minor, Inc.; on a combined basis, the guarantors of Owens &
Minor, Inc.'s 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Owens & Minor, Inc. and Subsidiaries
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Owens & Minor, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens &
Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries (the company) as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Owens &
Minor, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The management of Owens & Minor, Inc. is responsible for the preparation,
integrity and objectivity of the consolidated financial statements and related
information presented in this annual report. The consolidated financial
statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis and include, when necessary, the best
estimates and judgments of management.
The company maintains a system of internal controls that provides reasonable
assurance that its assets are safeguarded against loss or unauthorized use,
that transactions are properly recorded and that financial records provide a
reliable basis for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed entirely of directors
who are not current employees of Owens & Minor, Inc., meets periodically and
privately with the company's independent auditors and internal auditors, as
well as with company management, to review accounting, auditing, internal
control and financial reporting matters. The independent auditors and internal
auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee with and without management
present to discuss the results of their activities.
