                                   (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
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the United  States for  complete
financial  statements.  The consolidated  financial statements should be read in
conjunction   with  the  Company's   consolidated   financial   statements   and
supplementary  data included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 29, 2001. The Company follows the same  accounting  policies
in preparation of interim  financial  statements.  The results of operations and
cash flows for the six months ended June 29, 2002 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected  for the fiscal year ending  December  28, 2002 or
any other period.  Certain amounts from prior periods have been  reclassified to
conform to the current period's presentation.

NOTE 2.  GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 141, Business  Combinations ("FAS 141"), and
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("FAS 142"),  effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001.  Under the new standards,  goodwill and
intangible  assets deemed to have indefinite  lives are no longer  amortized but
are  subject  to  annual  impairment  tests in  accordance  with FAS 142.  Other
intangible assets continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

     The Company  adopted the new  standards  beginning in the first  quarter of
fiscal  2002.  Effective  with  the  adoption  of FAS  142,  goodwill,  which is
substantially  related  to the  healthcare  distribution  segment,  is no longer
amortized but is instead subject to an annual  impairment  test. The Company has
reassessed the estimated useful lives of its intangible assets,  which primarily
consist of non-compete  agreements,  and no changes have been deemed  necessary.
The Company  completed the transitional  goodwill  impairment test in connection
with the adoption of FAS 142 during the second  quarter of fiscal 2002,  and has
determined  that there is no  impairment as of the adoption  date,  December 30,
2001.

designed to improve  customer  service and increase  profitability by maximizing
the  efficiency  of the  Company's  infrastructure.  In  addition  to closing or
downsizing  certain   facilities,   this  world-wide   initiative  included  the
elimination of approximately 300 positions,  including open positions,  or about
5% of the total workforce,  throughout all levels within the  organization.  The
restructuring plan was substantially completed at December 30, 2000.

NOTE 5.  SEGMENT DATA

     The  Company  has two  reportable  segments:  healthcare  distribution  and
technology.  The  healthcare  distribution  segment,  which is  comprised of the
Company's  dental,  medical  and  international  business  groups,   distributes
healthcare  products   (primarily   consumable)  and  services  to  office-based
healthcare  practitioners  and  professionals in the combined North American and
international markets.  Products, which are similar for each business group, are
maintained and distributed from strategically  located distribution centers. The
technology  segment  consists  primarily of the  Company's  practice  management
software business and certain other  value-added  products and services that are
distributed primarily to healthcare professionals in the North American market.

     The Company's  reportable  segments are strategic business units that offer
different  products and services,  albeit to the same customer base. Most of the
technology  business was acquired as a unit,  and the  management at the time of
acquisition was retained.  The following  tables present  information  about the

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

    Net sales increased $65.1 million, or 10.7%, to $671.4 million for the three
months  ended June 29, 2002 from $606.3  million for the three months ended June
30, 2001. Of the $65.1 million increase,  approximately $64.1 million, or 98.5%,
represented a 10.8% increase in the Company's healthcare  distribution business.
As  part  of this  increase  approximately  $26.9  million  represented  a 12.5%
increase in the Company's  medical  business,  $26.1 million  represented a 9.3%
increase in its dental business, and $11.1 million represented an 11.5% increase
in its international  business.  The increase in medical net sales was primarily
attributable  to increased sales to core  physicians'  office and alternate care
markets.  In the dental  market,  the increase in net sales was primarily due to
increased account penetration.  In the international market, the increase in net
sales was  primarily due to increased  account  penetration  in Germany,  United
Kingdom,  Australia,  and France,  and to favorable  exchange  rates to the U.S.
dollar.  Had net sales for the international  market been translated at the same
rates as 2001,  international  net  sales  would  have  increased  by 7.5%.  The
remaining  increase in second  quarter 2002 net sales was due to the  technology
business,  which increased $1.0 million, or 7.1%, to $15.7 million for the three
months ended June 29, 2002,  from $14.7  million for the three months ended June
30,  2001.  The increase in  technology  and  value-added  product net sales was
primarily due to increased sales of practice  management  software  products and
related services.

    Gross profit increased by $25.5 million, or 15.3%, to $192.4 million for the
three months ended June 29, 2002 from $166.9  million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001.  Gross profit margin  increased  1.2% to 28.7% from 27.5% for the
same period last year.  Healthcare  distribution  gross profit  increased  $23.9
million,  or 15.3%,  to $180.5  million for the three months ended June 29, 2002
from $156.6  million for the three months ended June 30, 2001,  primarily due to
sales volume.  Healthcare  distribution gross profit margin increased by 1.0% to
27.5% for the three  months  ended June 29, 2002 from 26.5% for the three months
ended  June 30,  2001,  primarily  due to  changes  in sales mix and  purchasing
efficiencies.  Technology  gross  profit  increased  by $1.6 million or 15.5% to
$11.9  million for the three months  ended June 29, 2002 from $10.3  million for
the three months ended June 30, 2001  primarily due to sales volume and sales of
higher margin items.  Technology gross profit margins increased by 5.2% to 75.6%
for three  months ended June 29, 2002 from 70.4% for the three months ended June
30, 2001, primarily due to changes in sales mix.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $13.8 million, or
10.5%,  to $145.4  million for the three  months ended June 29, 2002 from $131.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001.  Selling and shipping expenses
increased by $8.9 million, or 10.9%, to $90.6 million for the three months ended
June 29,  2002 from $81.7  million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2001,
primarily  due to sales  volume.  As a  percentage  of net  sales,  selling  and
shipping expenses remained constant at 13.5% for the three months ended June 29,
2002   compared  to  the  three  months   ended  June  30,  2001.   General  and
administrative  expenses  increased $4.9 million,  or 9.8%, to $54.8 million for
the three  months  ended June 29, 2002 from $49.9  million for the three  months
ended June 30, 2001,  primarily  due to sales  volume.  As a  percentage  of net
sales,  general and  administrative  expenses  remained constant at 8.2% for the
three  months  ended June 29, 2002  compared to the three  months ended June 30,
2001.


                                       11


    Other income  (expense) - net increased by $0.1 million,  to $(1.2)  million
for the three  months ended June 29,  2002,  compared to $(1.1)  million for the
three months ended June 30, 2001, due primarily to lower interest income reduced
by lower interest expense and foreign currency gains.

    Equity in earnings of affiliates was substantially  unchanged from the prior
period.

    For the three months ended June 29, 2002, the Company's  effective  tax rate
was 37.1%. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's effective tax
rate was 37.0%. The difference between the Company's effective tax rates and the
Federal statutory rate relates primarily to state income taxes.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

    Net sales increased $118.3 million, or 9.9%, to $1,318.5 million for the six
months ended June 29, 2002 from  $1,200.2  million for the six months ended June
30, 2001. Of the $118.3  million  increase,  approximately  $116.0  million,  or
98.1%,  represented  a 9.9% increase in the  Company's  healthcare  distribution
business.  As part of this increase  approximately  $52.2 million  represented a
9.5%  increase  in its  dental  business,  $49.7  million  represented  an 11.7%
increase in the Company's medical business, and $14.1 million represented a 7.1%
increase in its international  business.  In the dental market,  the increase in
net sales was primarily due to increased  account  penetration.  The increase in
medical  net  sales  was  primarily  attributable  to  increased  sales  to core
physicians' office and alternate care markets. In the international  market, the
increase in net sales was  primarily  due to increased  account  penetration  in
Germany,  United  Kingdom,   Australia,  and  France.  Had  net  sales  for  the
international  market been  translated at the same rates as 2001,  international
net sales would have increased by 6.8%. The remaining increase in 2002 net sales
was due to the technology  business,  which increased $2.3 million,  or 8.2%, to
$30.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002, from $27.9 million for the
six months  ended June 30,  2001.  The increase in  technology  and  value-added
product net sales was primarily due to increased  practice  management  software
products and related services.

     Gross profit  increased by $44.6 million,  or 13.7%,  to $370.8 million for
the six months ended June 29, 2002 from $326.2  million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001.  Gross profit margin  increased  0.9% to 28.1% from 27.2% for the
same period last year.  Healthcare  distribution  gross profit  increased  $42.1
million, or 13.8%, to $348.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from
$305.9  million for the six months ended June 30, 2001,  primarily  due to sales
volume.  Healthcare  distribution gross profit margin increased by 0.9% to 27.0%
for the six months  ended June 29, 2002 from 26.1% for the six months ended June
30, 2001,  primarily  due to changes in sales mix and  purchasing  efficiencies.
Technology  gross profit increased by $2.5 million or 12.3% to $22.8 million for
the six months  ended June 29, 2002 from $20.3  million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001  primarily  due to sales volume and sales of higher  margin items.
Technology  gross profit  margins  increased by 2.6% to 75.4% for the six months
ended June 29, 2002 from 72.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily
due to changes in sales mix.

    Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased by $25.2 million, or
9.6%,  to $288.6  million  for the six months  ended June 29,  2002 from  $263.4
million for the six months  ended June 30, 2001.  Selling and shipping  expenses
increased by $19.4 million, or 12.2%, to $178.7 million for the six months ended
June 29,  2002 from  $159.3  million  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2001,
primarily due to sales

volume. As a percentage of net sales,  selling and shipping  expenses  increased
0.3% to 13.6% for the six  months  ended  June 29,  2002 from  13.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. General and  administrative  expenses increased $5.8
million,  or 5.6%, to $109.9 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from
$104.1  million for the six months ended June 30, 2001,  primarily  due to sales
volume.  As a  percentage  of net sales,  general  and  administrative  expenses
decreased  0.4% to 8.3% for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from 8.7% for the
six months ended June 30, 2001.

    Other income  (expense) - net decreased by $1.4 million,  to $(4.1)  million
for the six months ended June 29, 2002,  compared to $(5.5)  million for the six
months  ended  June 30,  2001,  due  primarily  to lower  interest  expense  and
increased interest income.

    Equity in earnings of affiliates was substantially  unchanged from the prior
period.

    For the six months ended June 29, 2002, the Company's effective tax rate was
37.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's  effective tax rate
was 37.0%.  The  difference  between the  Company's  effective tax rates and the
Federal statutory rate relates primarily to state income taxes.

SEASONALITY

     The  Company's   business  is  subject  to  seasonal  and  other  quarterly
influences.  Net sales and operating  profits are generally higher in the fourth
quarter due to timing of sales of software and  equipment,  year-end  promotions
and  purchasing  patterns  of  office-based  healthcare  practitioners  and  are
generally lower in the first quarter due primarily to the increased purchases in
the prior  quarter.  Quarterly  results  also may be  materially  affected  by a
variety of other  factors,  including  the timing of  acquisitions  and  related
costs, timing of purchases,  special promotional  campaigns,  seasonal products,
fluctuations  in exchange rates  associated  with  international  operations and
adverse weather conditions.

E-COMMERCE

     Traditional  healthcare  supply and  distribution  relationships  are being
challenged by electronic on-line commerce solutions.  The Company's distribution
business  is  characterized  by rapid  technological  developments  and  intense
competition.  The rapid  evolution of on-line  commerce will require  continuous
improvement in  performance,  features and  reliability of Internet  content and
technology by the Company,  particularly  in response to competitive  offerings.
Through the  Company's  proprietary  technologically  based  suite of  products,
customers  are  offered a variety of  competitive  alternatives.  The  Company's
tradition of reliable service, proven name recognition,  and large customer base
built on solid  customer  relationships  makes it well  situated to  participate
fully in this rapidly growing aspect of the distribution  business.  The Company
is exploring ways and means of improving and expanding its Internet presence and
will continue to do so.

INFLATION

     Management does not believe  inflation had a material adverse effect on the
financial statements for the periods presented.


                                       13


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's  principal capital  requirements have been to fund (a) working
capital needs  resulting from increased  sales,  and special  inventory  forward
buy-in  opportunities,  (b) acquisitions,  and (c) capital  expenditures.  Since
sales tend to be  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  operations,  its
revolving credit facilities, private placement loans and stock issuances.

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 29,
2002 of $13.4 million  resulted  primarily  from net income of $47.8 million and
non-cash  charges of  approximately  $15.0 million,  offset by a net increase of
cash used in operating items of working capital of approximately  $49.4 million.
The  increase  in working  capital  needs was  primarily  due to a  decrease  in
accounts  payable and accruals of $31.0 million,  a $17.8  million  increase  in
inventory,  due primarily to stocking of the Company's newly opened distribution
center, and a $4.7 million increase in other current assets, partially offset by
a  $4.1  million  decrease  in  accounts  receivable.   The  Company's  accounts
receivable  days  sales  outstanding  ratio  improved  to 49.96 days for the six
months  ended June 29,  2002 from  55.60 days for the six months  ended June 30,
2001.  The  Company's  inventory  turns were 6.32 turns for the six months ended
June 29, 2002 compared to 6.48 turns for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
Company anticipates future increases in working capital requirements as a result
of  its   continued   sales  growth  and  special   inventory   forward   buy-in
opportunities.

     Net cash used in  investing  activities  for the six months  ended June 29,
2002 of $84.2 million resulted primarily from cash used for business acquisition
related payments of $34.9 million, of which $27.4 million represented contingent
earnout payments  associated with an acquisition  made in a prior year,  capital
expenditures of $28.1 million,  of which approximately $11.6 million was for the
purchase of a building used for the Company's  corporate  headquarters,  and the
purchases of United States  government and agency bonds rated AAA by Moody's (or
an  equivalent  rating)  and  commercial  paper  rated  P-1  by  Moody's  (or an
equivalent  rating) with  maturities of more than three months of $20.6 million.
The Company  expects that it will invest more than $50.0 million during the year
ending December 28, 2002 in capital projects to modernize and expand facilities,
on computer infrastructure systems and to integrate operations.

    Net cash provided by financing  activities for the six months ended June 29,
2002 of $12.0  million  resulted  primarily  from  proceeds from the issuance of
stock upon exercise of stock options of $26.5 million,  offset primarily by debt
repayments of $14.5 million.

    Certain holders of minority  interests in 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 June  29,  2002 of  $132.5
million  consist of bank balances and  investments in money market funds.  These
investments  have staggered  maturity dates,  none of which exceed three months,
and have a high degree of liquidity  since the securities are actively traded in
public markets.

    On May 2, 2002,  the Company  renewed and  increased  its  revolving  credit
facility to $200.0 million from $150.0 million.  The new facility is a four year
committed line. As of June 29, 2002, none of the credit facility was utilized.

    The Company also has one  uncommitted  bank line of $15.0  million,  none of
which had been borrowed at June 29, 2002. Certain of the Company's  subsidiaries
have revolving credit facilities that total  approximately $45.8 million at June
29, 2002, under which $3.9 million had been borrowed.

    On June 30, 1999 and  September  25,  1998,  the Company  completed  private
placement  transactions under which it issued $130.0 million and $100.0 million,
respectively,  in Senior  Notes.  The $130.0  million notes come due on June 30,
2009 and bear interest at a rate of 6.94% per annum. Principal payments totaling
$20.0 million are due annually starting September 25, 2006 on the $100.0 million
notes and bear interest at a rate of 6.66% per annum.  Interest on both notes is
payable semi-annually.

    The Company  believes that its cash and cash  equivalents  of $132.5 million
and its investment in marketable  securities as of June 29, 2002, its ability to
access public and private debt and equity markets, and the availability of funds
under its existing credit  agreements will provide it with sufficient  liquidity
to meet its currently foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    There were no material  changes to the  disclosures  made in our report 10-K
for the year ended December 29, 2001, on this matter.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The  Company's  business  involves a risk of product  liability  claims and
other  claims  in the  ordinary  course of  business,  and from time to time the
Company  is named as a  defendant  in cases as a result of its  distribution  of
pharmaceutical and other healthcare  products.  As of June 29, 2002, the Company
was named a defendant in  approximately  75 product  liability  cases.  Of these
claims, 60 involve claims made by healthcare workers who claim allergic reaction
relating to exposure to latex gloves.  In each of these cases, the Company acted
as a  distributor  of both brand name and "Henry  Schein"  private  brand  latex
gloves,  which were manufactured by third parties.  To date,  discovery in these
cases  has  generally  been  limited  to  product   identification  issues.  The
manufacturers  in these  cases  have  withheld  indemnification  of the  Company
pending product identification;  however, the Company is taking steps to implead
those  manufacturers  into each case in which the  Company is a  defendant.  The
Company  is also a  named  defendant  in nine  lawsuits  involving  the  sale of
phentermine  and  fenfluramin.  Plaintiffs in the cases allege injuries from the
combined  use of the drugs known as  "Phen/fen."  The Company  expects to obtain
indemnification  from the  manufacturers  of these  products,  although  this is
dependent upon, among other things, the financial  viability of the manufacturer
and their insurers.

     On January 27, 1998, in District Court in Travis County, Texas, the Company
and one of its subsidiaries were named as defendants in a matter entitled Shelly
E. Stromboe & Jeanne N. Taylor,  on Behalf of Themselves and All Other Similarly
Situated vs. Henry Schein, Inc., Easy Dental Systems, Inc. and Dentisoft,  Inc.,
Case No. 98-00886. This complaint alleges among other things, negligence, breach
of contract, fraud and violations of certain Texas commercial statutes involving
the sale of certain  practice  management  software  products sold prior to 1998
under the Easy Dental(R) name. In October 1999, the Court, on motion,  certified
both a  Windows(R)  Sub-Class  and a DOS  Sub-Class to proceed as a class action
pursuant to Tex. R.Civ.  P.42. It is estimated that 5,000  Windows(R)  customers
and 15,000 DOS customers could be covered by the judge's ruling.  In November of
1999,  the  Company  filed  an  interlocutory  appeal  of the  District  Court's
determination  to the Texas  Court of Appeals on the issue of whether  this case
was properly  certified as a class action.  On September 14, 2000,  the Court of
Appeals affirmed the District Court's  certification  order. On January 5, 2001,
the Company  filed a Petition for Review in the Texas  Supreme Court asking this
court to find "conflicts  jurisdiction" to permit review of the District Court's
certification  order,  which appeal is now  pending.  On April 5, 2001 the Texas
Supreme Court requested that the parties file briefs on the merits.

     On August  23,  2001,  the Texas  Supreme  Court  dismissed  the  Company's
Petition for Review based on lack of conflicts jurisdiction. The Company filed a
motion for  rehearing on September  24, 2001  requesting  that the Texas Supreme
Court  reconsider  and  reverse  its  finding  that  it  is  without   conflicts
jurisdiction  to review the case.  On November 8, 2001,  the Texas Supreme Court
granted the motion for rehearing and withdrew its order of August 23, 2001.  The
Texas Supreme Court heard oral argument on February 6, 2002.  Pending a decision
by the Supreme  Court on the Petition for Review,  a trial on the merits will be
stayed.   Because   procedural   issues  relating  to  the  propriety  of  class
certification  remain to be determined,  because the class  representatives have
not pleaded damage amounts with  specificity,  and because each purported  class
member's  damages,  if any, may vary, and other  factors,  it is not possible to
determine the possible range of damages or other relief sought by the plaintiffs
in the event the class certification is upheld and the case proceeds to trial as
a class action.


                                       17


     In February 2002, the Company was served with a summons and complaint in an
action  commenced  in the Superior  Court of New Jersey,  Law  Division,  Morris
County,  entitled West Morris  Pediatrics,  P.A. vs. Henry Schein,  Inc.,  doing
business as Caligor,  no.  MRSL-421-02.  The complaint by West Morris Pediatrics
purports  to be on behalf  of a  nationwide  class,  but there has been no court
determination  that the case may proceed as a class action.  Plaintiff  seeks to
represent a class of all physicians,  hospitals and other  healthcare  providers
throughout  New Jersey and across the United  States.  This  complaint  alleges,
among other things, breach of oral contract,  breach of implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing,  violation of the New Jersey  Consumer Fraud Act, unjust
enrichment,  and conversion  relating to sales of a vaccine product in the years
2001 and 2002.  The  Company's  time to file an answer has been  extended  until
September 1, 2002. Because damages have not been specified by the plaintiffs, it
is not possible to determine  the range of damages or other relief sought by the
plaintiffs.  The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim,
as well as all other claims, suits and complaints.

    The Company has various  insurance  policies,  including  product  liability
insurance, covering risks and in amounts it considers adequate. In many cases in
which the Company has been sued in  connection  with  products  manufactured  by
others, the Company is provided  indemnification by the manufacturer.  There can
be no assurance  that the coverage  maintained  by the Company is  sufficient or
will  be  available  in  adequate  amounts  or at a  reasonable  cost,  or  that
indemnification  agreements will provide adequate protection for the Company. In
the opinion of the Company, all pending matters are covered by insurance or will
not otherwise seriously harm the Company's financial condition.
