HENRY SCHEIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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
Dentrix Dental Systems, Inc. ('Dentrix'), effective February 28, 1997 and Micro
Bio-Medics, Inc. ('MBMI'), effective August 1, 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 28, 1996 and Form 8-K dated June 24,
1997. The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim
reports. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 27, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year
ending December 27, 1997 or any other period.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

During the year ended December 28, 1996, the Company acquired seventeen
healthcare distribution businesses. The 1996 acquisitions included ten dental
and three medical companies, a veterinary supply distributor and three
international dental companies, with aggregate net sales in their last fiscal
year ends of approximately $104,000, and were all accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Of these, fifteen were for majority ownership
(100% in nine of the transactions). The total amount of cash paid and promissory
notes issued for these acquisitions was approximately $33,423. The Company also
issued 155,183 shares of common stock in 1996 in connection with two of these
acquisitions. Operations of these businesses have been included in the
consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. No
single 1996 acquisition was material.

During the nine months ended September 27, 1997, the Company completed
sixteen acquisitions, and had one pending acquisition. The 1997 completed
acquisitions included four medical supply companies, the most significant of
which was MBMI, a distributor of medical supplies to physicians and hospitals in
the New York metropolitan area, as well as to healthcare professionals in
markets nationwide, with 1996 annual net sales of approximately $150,000 and,
combined with the other three medical companies totalled approximately $182,000
in aggregate net sales for 1996. The completed acquisitions also included: (a)
three dental supply companies, with aggregate net sales of approximately

$17,100; (b) two international dental and three international medical supply
companies with aggregate net sales of approximately $5,300 and $18,300,
respectively, (c) three technology and value-added product companies with
aggregate net sales of approximately $20,300; and (d) certain assets and the
business of IDE Interstate, Inc., a direct marketer of healthcare products to
dentists, doctors and veterinarians with net sales for 1996 of approximately
$50,000.

Of the sixteen completed acquisitions, five were accounted for under the
pooling of interests method, with the remainder being accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting (eight for 100% ownership interests and three for
majority ownership interests). The financial statements have been restated to
give retroactive effect to two of the pooling transactions (Dentrix and MBMI) as
the remaining three pooling transactions were not material and have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the
quarter in which the acquisitions occurred. Operations of the 1997 completed
acquisitions, accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective
acquisition dates.

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

The total amount of cash paid and promissory notes issued for the 1997
completed acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting was
approximately $47,000. The excess of the acquisition costs over the fair value
of identifiable net assets acquired for these acquisitions will be amortized on
a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed 30 years.

The Company also issued 5,148,286 shares of common stock in connection with
the five pooling transactions, the most significant of which were MBMI and
Dentrix. On February 28, 1997 and on August 1, 1997, respectively, all of the
common stock of Dentrix, a leading provider of clinically-based dental practice
management systems, with net sales of approximately $10,200, and MBMI were
acquired, in exchange for 1,070,000 and 3,231,420 shares, respectively of the
Company's common stock.

In connection with the acquisitions accounted for under the pooling of
interests method of accounting, during the nine and three months ended September
27, 1997, the Company incurred certain merger and integration costs of
approximately $22,071 and $17,718, respectively. Net of taxes, for the nine and
three months ended September 27, 1997, merger and integration costs were
approximately $0.76 and $0.61 per share, respectively. Merger and integration
costs consist primarily of compensation, investment banking, legal, accounting
and advisory fees, impairment of goodwill arising from acquired businesses
integrated into the Company's medical business, as well as certain other
integration costs associated with these mergers.

Additionally, pursuant to a shareholders' agreement, certain minority
shareholders of a subsidiary of the Company exercised their option to sell their
shares in the subsidiary to the Company. The value of the shares put to the
Company was approximately $11,800, of which approximately $3,200 was paid for in
cash, with the remainder payable over two years in equal annual installments.
Other than the MBMI acquisition, no single acquisition completed in the nine
months ended September 27, 1997 was material.

The summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations set forth below
for the nine months ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996 assume the
acquisitions, completed in 1996 and the first nine months of 1997, which were
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, occurred as of the
beginning of each of these periods.

</TABLE>

Pro forma net income per common share, including acquisitions, may not be
indicative of actual results, primarily because the pro forma earnings include
historical results of operations of acquired entities and do not reflect any
cost savings or potential sales erosion that may result from the Company's
integration efforts.

Net sales of the Company, Dentrix and MBMI for the three and nine months
ended September 28, 1996 were $212,529, $2,538, $44,093 and $592,610, $7,052,
$110,321, respectively. Unaudited net income of the Company, Dentrix and MBMI
for the three and nine months ended September 28, 1996 were $5,298, $667, $1,183
and $11,968, $1,588, $1,637, respectively. Such sales and net income for MBMI
reflect the three and nine months ended August 31, 1996. For the two months
ended February 28, 1997, the effective date of the Dentrix

Other changes to stockholders' equity for the Company during the pre-combination
period and MBMI were not material.

On August 3, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement
with Sullivan Dental Products, Inc. ('Sullivan') (Nasdaq:SULL) pursuant to which
the Company will acquire Sullivan in a stock-for-stock merger. The merger is
intended to be accounted for as a pooling of interests and is expected to be
tax-free to Sullivan's shareholders. Under the terms of the agreement, which has
been approved by the Board of Directors of each company, outstanding shares of
Sullivan will be exchanged at a fixed rate of 0.735 of a share of the Company's
common stock for each Sullivan share in a transaction valued at approximately
$285,000 based on the Company's closing stock price on Monday, November 10,
1997. The merger is expected to close in mid-November, 1997, subject to each
company's shareholder approval, to be voted upon at shareholder meetings of each
company to be held on November 12, 1997, and other customary closing conditions.
The Company anticipates recording a non-recurring charge of approximately
$15,000 to $20,000 related to the transaction in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Additional non-recurring charges are anticipated to occur in 1998 related to
this transaction, which are primarily due to warehouse integrations. These costs
are not presently estimatable.

Sullivan distributes consumable dental supplies to dentists using a
marketing strategy which combines personal visits by sales representatives with
a catalog of approximately 12,000 competitively priced items. Sullivan also
sells, installs and services dental equipment through 52 sales and service
centers located throughout the U.S. Sullivan had net sales of approximately
$242,000 and earnings of approximately $8,700 for its year ended December 31,
1996.

NOTE 3. PUBLIC OFFERING

On June 21, 1996, the Company sold 3,734,375 shares and certain of its
stockholders sold 2,812,000 shares of common stock of the Company in a public
offering (the 'Offering') at a price to the public of $35.00 per share, netting
proceeds to the Company, after underwriting discounts and expenses, of
approximately $124,070. Proceeds from the Offering were used to (i) repay
$34,600 outstanding under the Company's revolving credit agreement, (ii) finance
1996 acquisitions totaling $32,540 and (iii) repay a $2,400 note payable
incurred in connection with a 1995 acquisition; the remaining proceeds have been
used for working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.

NOTE 4. SUPPLEMENTAL NET INCOME PER SHARE

Supplemental net income per share for the nine months ended September 28,
1996 was $0.60. For this calculation, the weighted average number of common
shares includes the shares assumed to provide the proceeds, at the Offering
price (See Note 3), needed to retire average revolving credit borrowings and
other debt for the period from the beginning of the year (or the date the debt
was incurred) to the respective retirement date. The supplemental net income
excludes financing and interest expenses of the debt.

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

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

During the nine months ended September 27, 1997, the Company completed
sixteen acquisitions, and had one pending acquisition. The 1997 completed
acquisitions included four medical supply companies, the most significant of
which was MBMI, a distributor of medical supplies to physicians and hospitals in
the New York metropolitan area, as well as to healthcare professionals in
markets nationwide, with 1996 annual net sales of approximately $150.0 million
and, combined with the other three medical companies totalled approximately
$182.0 million in aggregate net sales for 1996. The completed acquisitions also
included: (a) three dental supply companies, with aggregate net sales of
approximately $17.1 million; (b) two international dental and three
international medical supply companies with aggregate net sales of approximately
$5.3 million and $18.3 million, respectively; (c) three technology and
value-added product companies with aggregate net sales of approximately $20.3
million; and (d) certain assets and the business of IDE Interstate, Inc., a
direct marketer of healthcare products to dentists, doctors and veterinarians
with net sales for 1996 of approximately $50.0 million. Other than MBMI, no
single acquisition completed in the nine months ended September 27, 1997 was
material.

On August 3, 1997, the Company and Sullivan, entered into an agreement,
pursuant to which Sullivan will merge into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company upon the exchange of 0.735 shares of the Company's common stock for each
outstanding share of Sullivan stock. This merger is expected to close in
mid-November, 1997, subject to each company's shareholder approval, to be voted
upon at shareholder meetings of each company to be held on November 12, 1997,
and other customary closing conditions, although no assurances can be given in

this regard. The Company anticipates recording a non-recurring charge of
approximately $15.0 to $20.0 million related to the transaction in the fourth
quarter of 1997. Additional non-recurring charges are anticipated to occur in
1998 related to this transaction, which are primarily due to warehouse
integrations. These costs are not presently estimatable. For a more complete
description of the terms of the Sullivan merger agreement, reference is made to
the Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated September 22, 1997, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the securities to be issued
in connection with the Sullivan merger.

In connection with the acquisitions accounted for under the pooling of
interests method of accounting, during the nine and three months ended September
27, 1997, the Company incurred certain merger and integration costs of
approximately $22.1 million and $17.7 million, respectively. Net of taxes, for
the nine and three months ended September 27, 1997, merger and integration costs
were approximately $0.76 and $0.61 per share, respectively. Merger and
integration costs consist primarily of compensation, investment banking, legal,
accounting and advisory fees, impairment of goodwill arising from acquired
businesses integrated into the Company's medical business, as well as certain
other integration costs associated with these mergers.

Excluding the merger and integration costs, net income and net income per
common share would have been $19.4 million and $0.69, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 27, 1997, and $7.8 million and $0.27, respectively, for
the three months then ended.

The Company uses United Parcel Services of America, Inc. ('UPS') for
delivery of substantially all domestic orders. The Teamsters Union strike
against UPS during the third quarter substantially reduced UPS's ability to
fulfill the shipments of its customers' orders. During this period the Company
made alternative arrangements in order to maintain customer service levels. The
use of such alternatives resulted in approximately $1.3 million, or $0.03 per
share in higher transportation and other operating costs, primarily payroll
caused by the need to sort customer orders for distribution to various regional
couriers. Additionally, after the strike payroll costs continued to run at rates
higher than would otherwise be expected in order to handle inbound freight that
was backlogged as a result of the strike. None of these incremental costs were
passed along to customers. Subsequently, freight and payroll costs returned to
normal pre-strike levels.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
28, 1996

Net sales increased $68.4 million, or 26.4%, to $327.6 million for the
three months ended September 27, 1997 from $259.2 million for the three months
ended September 28, 1996. The Company estimates that approximately 16.0% of the
increase was due to internal growth, while the remaining 10.4% was due to

9
acquisitions. Of the $68.4 million increase, approximately $29.7 million
represented a 26.9% increase in the Company's dental business, $26.2 million
represented a 26.7% increase in its medical business, $9.7 million represented a
28.2% increase in its international business, $1.2 million represented a 12.5%
increase in the Company's veterinary business, and $1.6 million represented a
24.2% increase in its technology and value-added product 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), acquisitions, continued success in the Company's target marketing
programs and increased sales in the large dental equipment market. The increase
in medical net sales was primarily due to acquisitions, increased net sales to
renal dialysis centers and net sales to customers enrolled in the AMA Purchase
Link program. In the international market, the increase in net sales was due
equally to acquisitions and increased unit volume growth. Unfavorable exchange
rate translation adjustments resulted in a net sales decrease of approximately
$3.6 million. Had net sales for the international market been translated at the
same exchange rates in effect during 1996, net sales would have increased by an
additional 10.4%. In the veterinary market, the increase in net sales was
primarily due to increased account penetration with corporate accounts. The
increase in technology and value-added product sales was primarily due to 1997
acquisitions.

Gross profit increased by $17.0 million, or 23.2%, to $90.3 million for the
three months ended September 27, 1997 from $73.3 million for the three months
ended September 28, 1996, while gross profit margin decreased to 27.6% from
28.3%. The $17.0 million increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased
sales volume and acquisitions. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily
due to sales mix changes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $15.9 million, or
25.0%, to $79.5 million for the three months ended September 27, 1997 from $63.6
million for the three months ended September 28, 1996. Selling and shipping
expenses increased by $10.5 million, or 23.8% to $54.6 million for the three
months ended September 27, 1997 from $44.1 million for the three months ended
September 28, 1996. As a percentage of net sales, selling and shipping expenses
decreased 0.3% to 16.7% for the three months ended September 27, 1997 from 17.0%
for the three months ended September 28, 1996. This decrease was primarily due
to the leveraging of the Company's distribution infrastructure, partially offset
by incremental shipping, payroll and related costs amounting to $1.3 million as
a result of the Teamsters strike against UPS and an increase in selling
expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $5.4 million, or 27.7%,
to $24.9 million for the three months ended September 27, 1997 from $19.5
million for the three months ended September 28, 1996, primarily as a result of
acquisitions. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses
increased 0.1% to 7.6% for the three months ended September 27, 1997 from 7.5%
for the three months ended September 28, 1996.

Other income (expense)-net remained unchanged at $0.5 million for the three
month periods ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996. Increased finance
charge income and imputed interest income arising from non-interest bearing
extended payment term sales was offset by an increase in average borrowings.

For the three months ended September 27, 1997, the Company's effective tax
rate was (63.1%). Excluding merger and integration costs, substantially all of
which are not deductible for income tax purposes, the Company's effective tax
rate would have been 38.8%. The difference between the effective tax rate
(excluding merger and integration costs) and the federal statutory rate relates
primarily to state income taxes. For the three months ended September 28, 1996,
the Company's effective rate was 36.0%, and on a pro forma basis was 38.9%. The
difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate relates
primarily to state income taxes.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28,
1996

Net sales increased $201.7 million, or 28.4%, to $911.7 million for the
nine months ended September 27, 1997 from $710.0 million for the nine months
ended September 28, 1996. The Company estimates that overall approximately 16.8%
of the increase was due to internal growth, while the remaining 11.6% was due to
acquisitions. Of the $201.7 million increase, approximately $87.4 million
represented a 28.1% increase in the Company's dental business, $80.5 million
represented a 32.7% increase in its medical business, $23.3 million represented
a 22.4% increase in its international business, $3.7 million represented a 13.8%
increase in the Company's veterinary business and $6.8 million represented a
30.6% increase in its technology and value-added product 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), acquisitions, continued success in the Company's target marketing
programs

10
and increased sales in the large dental equipment market. The increase in
medical net sales was primarily due to acquisitions, increased net sales to
renal dialysis centers and net sales to customers enrolled in the AMA Purchase
Link program. In the international market, the increase in net sales was due
equally to acquisitions and increased unit volume growth. Unfavorable exchange
rate translation adjustments resulted in a net sales decrease of approximately
$6.5 million dollars. Had net sales for the international market been translated
at the same exchange rates in effect during 1996, net sales would have increased
by an additional 6.2 %. In the veterinary market, the increase in net sales was
primarily due to increased account penetration with corporate accounts. The
increase in technology and value-added product sales was primarily due to 1997
acquisitions.

Gross profit increased by $53.4 million, or 26.2%, to $257.0 million for
the nine months ended September 27, 1997 from $203.6 million for the nine months
ended September 28, 1996, while gross profit margin decreased to 28.2% from
28.7%. The $53.4 million increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased
sales volume and acquisitions. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily
due to sales mix changes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $47.3 million, or
26.1%, to $228.5 million for the nine months ended September 27, 1997 compared
to $181.2 million for the nine months ended September 29, 1996. Selling and
shipping expenses increased by $29.8 million, or 24.2%, to $152.9 million for
the nine months ended September 27, 1997 from $123.1 million for the nine months
ended September 28, 1996. As a percentage of net sales, selling and shipping
expenses decreased 0.5% to 16.8% for the nine months ended September 27, 1997
from 17.3% for the nine months ended September 28, 1996. This decrease was
primarily due to leveraging of the Company's distribution infrastructure,
partially offset by incremental shipping, payroll and related costs amounting to
$1.3 million as a result of the Teamsters strike against UPS in the third
quarter and an increase in selling expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $17.5 million, or 30.1%, to $75.6 million for the nine months ended
September 27, 1997 from $58.1 million for the nine months ended September 28,
1996, primarily as a result of acquisitions. As a percentage of net sales,
general and administrative expenses increased 0.1% to 8.3% for the nine months
ended September 27, 1997 from 8.2% for the nine months ended September 28, 1996.

Other income (expense)-net increased by $1.7 million, or 283.3%, to $1.1
million for the nine months ended September 27, 1997 from ($.6) million for the
nine months ended September 28, 1996. This increase was primarily due to a
decrease in average borrowings, which were partially paid off with proceeds from
the Company's follow-on offering in June 1996, combined with an increase in
finance charge income and imputed interest income arising from non-interest
bearing extended payment term sales.

For the nine months ended September 27, 1997, the Company's effective tax
rate was 144.4%. Excluding merger and integration costs, substantially all of
which are not deductible for income tax purposes, the Company's effective tax
rate would have been 38.7%. The difference between the effective tax rate
(excluding merger and integration costs) and the federal statutory rate relates
primarily to state income taxes. For the nine months ended September 28, 1996,
the Company's effective rate was 35.3%, and on a pro forma basis was 38.7%,
which was higher than the federal statutory rate, is primarily due to state
income taxes.

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 and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities, (b) acquisitions
and (c) capital expenditures. Since sales have traditionally been strongest
during the fourth quarter and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities
have traditionally been most prevalent just before the end of the year, the
Company's working capital requirements are 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 nine months ended September
27, 1997 of $19.6 million resulted primarily from a net increase in working
capital of $29.6 million offset, in part, by net income adjusted for non-cash
charges relating primarily to depreciation and amortization of $8.8 million. The
increase in working capital was primarily due to (i) a $41.9 million increase in

accounts receivable resulting from increased sales and extended payment terms,
(ii) a $3.4 million increase in inventory, and (iii) a $0.2 million increase in
other current assets, offset by an increase in accounts payable and other
accrued expenses of $15.9 million resulting primarily

11
from payments to vendors for inventory purchased as part of the Company's
year-end inventory forward buy-in program. The Company anticipates future
increases in working capital as a result of its continued sales growth.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September
27, 1997 of $54.6 million resulted primarily from cash outlays for acquisitions
of $38.4 million and capital expenditures of $10.3 million. Capital expenditures
are comparable with the prior year period as the Company continues developing
new computer systems as well as incurring expenditures for leasehold
improvements associated with the additional operating facilities. The Company
expects that it will continue to invest in excess of $10.0 million per year in
capital projects to modernize and expand its facilities and infrastructure
systems.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 27, 1997 of $45.6 million resulted primarily from net borrowings on
long-term debt and bank credit lines partially offset by net payments . A
balloon payment of approximately $3.5 million is due on October 31, 1997 under a
term loan associated with a foreign acquisition.

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.

Pursuant to a shareholders' agreement, certain minority shareholders of a
subsidiary of the Company exercised their option to sell their shares in the
subsidiary to the Company. The value of the shares sold to the Company was
approximately $11.8 million, of which approximately $3.2 million was paid for in
cash, with the remainder payable over two years in equal annual installments.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of September 27, 1997 of $16.6
million are invested primarily in short-term bank deposits. 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 entered into an amended revolving credit facility on August 18,
1997 that increased its main credit facility from $100.0 million to $150.0
million, extended the facility termination to August 14, 2002. Borrowings under
the credit facility were $73.2 million at September 27, 1997. Certain of the
Company's subsidiaries have revolving credit facilities that total approximately
$11.0 million under which $8.4 million have been borrowed at September 27, 1997.

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