                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       (in thousands, except share data)
                                  (unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry Schein,
Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company").

In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set
forth therein. These consolidated financial statements are condensed and
therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The financial statements include adjustments to give effect to the
acquisitions of Micro Bio-Medics, Inc. ("MBMI"), effective August 1, 1997 and
Sullivan Dental Products, Inc. ("Sullivan"), effective November 12, 1997,
which were accounted for under the pooling of interests method. The
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December
27, 1997. The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of
interim reports. The results of operations for the three months ended March
28, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 26, 1998 or any other period.

Note 2. Merger and Integration Costs

In connection with certain acquisitions accounted for under the pooling of
interests method of accounting, the Company incurred certain merger and
integration costs during the three months ended March 28, 1998 and March 29,
1997. These costs consist primarily of investment banking, legal, accounting
and advisory fees, compensation and other integration costs associated with
these mergers. Net of taxes, for the three months ended March 28, 1998 and
March 29, 1997, merger and integration costs were approximately $0.08 and
$0.07 per share, on a diluted basis, respectively.

Note 3. Comprehensive Income

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income, which
requires that all components of comprehensive income and total comprehensive
income be reported on one of the following: a statement of income and
comprehensive income, a statement of comprehensive income or a statement of
stockholders' equity. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all
changes to stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by owners
(changes in paid in capital) and distributions to owners (dividends). For
interim reporting purposes, SFAS 130 requires disclosure of total
comprehensive income.


                                       6




Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 28, 1998 and March
29, 1997 is as follows:

ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 28, 1998 compared to Three Months Ended March 29, 1997

Net sales increased $64.0 million, or 18.9%, to $403.0 million for the three

months ended March 28, 1998 from $339.0 million for the three months ended
March 29, 1997. Of the $64.0 million increase, approximately $27.8 million
represented a 14.9% increase in the Company's dental business, $20.1 million
represented a 21.3% increase in its medical business, $11.6 million
represented a 28.5% increase in its international business, $2.6 million
represented a 36.4% increase in the Company's technology and value-added
product business, and $1.9 million, represented a 19.5% increase in its
veterinary business. The increase in dental net sales was primarily the result
of the continuing favorable impact of the Company's integrated sales and
marketing approach (which coordinates the efforts of its field sales
consultants with its direct marketing and telesales personnel), and continued
success of the Company's targeted marketing programs and acquisitions
completed subsequent to the first quarter of 1997. The increase in medical net
sales is primarily attributable to sales to hospitals, acquisitions, and the
benefits of a new telesales structure, partially offset by a decline in sales
to renal dialysis centers. In the first quarter of 1998 the Company's largest
renal dialysis customer, Renal Treatment Centers, Inc., ("RTC") was acquired
by Total Renal Care, Inc. which currently is not a customer of the Company. In
March of this year, RTC stopped purchasing Epogen from the Company, but
continues to purchase other products. During fiscal year 1997, the Company's
sales of Epogen to RTC amounted to $38.7 million. In the international market,
the increase in net sales was due to acquisitions, primarily in Germany, the
United Kingdom and The Netherlands, and increased account penetration in
France, Germany and Spain. Unfavorable exchange rate translation adjustments
reduced the net increase in the international market by approximately $2.0
million. Had net sales for the international market been translated at the
same exchange rates in effect during the first quarter of 1997, net sales
would have increased by an additional 4.9%. In the veterinary market, the
increase in net sales was primarily due to increased account penetration with
core accounts and veterinary groups. The increase in technology and
value-added product sales was primarily due to acquisitions completed
subsequent to the first quarter of 1997.

Gross profit increased by $21.5 million, or 21.5%, to $121.5 million for the
three months ended March 28, 1998, from $100.0 million for the three months
ended March 29, 1997. Gross profit margin increased by 0.6% to 30.1% from
29.5% last year, with improvements primarily in medical margins, and to a
lesser extent, dental and veterinary margins, partially offset by declines in
technology and value-added product and international margins, all the result
of changes in product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $16.8 million, or
18.6%, to $107.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 1998 from $90.4
million for the three months ended March 29, 1997. Selling and shipping
expenses increased by $11.2 million, or 18.5%, to $71.8 million for the three
months ended March 28, 1998 from $60.6 million for the three months ended
March 29, 1997. As a percentage of net sales, selling and shipping expenses
decreased 0.1% to 17.8% for the three months ended March 28, 1998 from 17.9%
for the three months ended March 29, 1997. This decrease was primarily due to
improvements of the Company's distribution efficiencies. General


                                       8




and administrative expenses increased $5.6 million, or 18.8%, to $35.4 million
for the three months ended March 28, 1998 from $29.8 million for the three
months ended March 29, 1997, primarily as a result of acquisitions.
As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses remained
unchanged at 8.8%.

Other income (expense) - net decreased by $0.8 million, to ($0.4) million for
the three months ended March 28, 1998, compared to $0.4 million for the three
months ended March 29, 1997 due to an increase in interest expense resulting
from an increase in average borrowings, partially offset by an increase in
interest income from finance charges and imputed interest arising from
non-interest bearing extended payment term sales.

Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $0.3 million to $0.2 million for
the three months ended March 28, 1998 from ($0.1) million for the three months
ended March 29, 1997. This increase was primarily due to increased sales
volume and improved margins for the products sold by an unconsolidated
50%-owned company.

For the three months ended March 28, 1998 the Company's effective tax rate was
42.4%. Excluding merger and integration costs, the majority of which are not
deductible for income tax purposes, the Company's effective tax rate would
have been 38.1%. For the three months ended March 29, 1997, the Company's
effective tax rate was 53.1%. Excluding merger and integration costs, the
Company's effective tax rate would have been 39.8%. The difference between the
Company's effective tax rate (excluding merger and integration costs), and the
Federal statutory rate relates primarily to state income taxes.

Year 2000

Management has initiated a company-wide program to prepare the Company's
computer systems and applications for the year 2000, as well as identify
critical third parties which the Company relies upon to operate its business
to assess their readiness for the year 2000. The year 2000 issue arises from
the widespread use of computer programs that rely on two-digit date codes to
perform computations or decision-making functions. The Company expects to
incur internal payroll costs as well as consulting costs and other expenses
related to infrastructure and facilities enhancements necessary to prepare for
the Company's systems for the year 2000. Management estimates that the cost of
this program will be between $2.0 million and $3.0 million, with approximately
$1.5 million representing incremental costs to the Company. There can be no
assurance that the systems of other companies which the Company's systems rely
upon will be timely converted, or that such failure to convert by another
company would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's systems and
results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company's principal capital requirements have been to fund (a) working
capital needs resulting from increased sales, extended payment terms on
various products, special inventory forward buy-in opportunities, and to fund
initial start-up inventory requirements for new distribution centers, (b)
acquisitions and (c) capital expenditures. Since sales have been strongest
during the fourth quarter and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities
are most prevalent just before the end of the year, the Company's working
capital requirements have been generally higher from the end of the third
quarter to the end of the first quarter of the following year. The Company has
financed its business primarily through revolving credit facilities and stock
issuances.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 28,
1998 of $13.5 million resulted primarily from a net increase in operating
items of working capital of $18.4 million offset, in part, by net income of
$6.0 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $1.1 million. The increase in
working capital was primarily due to (i) a decrease in accounts payable and
other accrued expenses of $16.5 million resulting primarily from payments to
vendors for inventory purchased as part of the Company's year-end inventory
forward buy-in program, (ii) a $7.0 million increase in inventory, and (iii) a
$1.4 million increase in other current assets, offset by a $6.4 million
decrease in accounts receivable. The Company anticipates future increases in
working capital as a result of its continued sales growth.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 28,
1998 of $14.2 million resulted primarily from cash outlays for capital
expenditures of $6.7 million and cash paid for acquisitions of $4.4 million.
The increased amount of capital expenditures over the comparable prior year
period was due to expenditures for additional operating facilities, as well
as the development of new computer systems. The Company expects that it
will invest in excess of $30.0 million during the year ending December 26,
1998, including approximately $10.0 million to $12.0 million relating to the
consolidation and integration of facilities and systems as a result of recent
acquisitions. Thereafter, the Company expects to invest in excess of $20.0
million per year in capital projects to modernize and expand its facilities
and infrastructure systems and integrate operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 28,
1998 of $32.1 million resulted primarily from net borrowings on bank credit
lines of $30.5 million.

In addition, with respect to certain acquisitions and joint ventures, holders
of minority interest in the acquired entities or ventures have the right at
certain times to require the Company to acquire their interest at either fair
market value or a formula price based on earnings of the entity.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of March 28, 1998 of $12.2 million
consist of bank balances and investments in commercial paper rated AAA by
Moodys (or an equivalent rating). These investments have staggered maturity
dates, none greater than three months, and have a high degree of liquidity
since the securities are actively traded in public markets.

The Company's main credit facility is a $150.0 million revolving credit
facility which has a termination date of August 15, 2002. Borrowings under the

credit facility were $106.9 million at March 28, 1998. Certain of the
Company's subsidiaries have revolving credit facilities that total
approximately $35.3 million under which $11.7 million have been borrowed at
March 28, 1998.

                                      10



The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, its anticipated cash
flow from operations, its ability to access private and public debt and equity
markets, and the availability of funds under its existing credit agreements
will provide it with liquidity sufficient to meet its short and long-term
capital needs.
