           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   
    The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
give effect to the Merger using the "pooling of interests" method of accounting,
after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying
notes. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have
been prepared from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical
consolidated (in the case of Schein) financial statements and notes thereto of
Schein set forth in this Form 8-K/A, which have been restated to give
retroactive effect to the acquisition of MBMI, effective August 1, 1997, which
was accounted for under the pooling of interests method, and Sullivan, which are
incorporated by reference to this Form 8-K/A.
    
    The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements are presented for
illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results or financial position that would have occurred had the Merger been
consummated at the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future
operating results or financial position of the merged companies.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet gives effect to the
Merger as if it had occurred on September 27, 1997, combining the balance sheets
of Schein at September 27, 1997 with that of Sullivan as of September 30, 1997.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations give effect
to the Merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
presented, combining the results of Schein for each year in the three-year
period ended December 28, 1996 and the nine-month period ended September 27,
1997 with those of Sullivan for each year in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997.

   
    As a result of the Merger, the merged companies incurred certain acquisition
related costs in connection with the consummation of the transaction, and will
incur certain transition related costs upon integrating the operations of Schein
and Sullivan. The acquisition and transition related costs consist principally
of compensation arrangement costs (sales force and certain senior management
signing bonuses), professional and registration fees, systems modification costs
and other cost associated with the integration of the two businesses resulting
from the Merger. While the exact timing, nature and amount of these acquisition
and transition related costs are subject to change, Schein anticipates that a
one-time pre-tax charge of approximately $16.0 million for direct incremental
acquisition-related costs will be recorded in the quarter in which the Merger is
consummated. The estimate is comprised of the following amounts:
     

                                                                (in thousands)

        Compensation arrangements ................................     $9,000
        Professional services ....................................      4,500
        Registration and other regulatory costs ..................      1,500
        Taxes and other ..........................................      1,000
                                                                     --------
                                                                      $16,000

                                                                     ========

    The direct incremental acquisition-related costs have been reflected as an
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 27, 1997. The after-tax cost of
this anticipated charge ($13.2 million) has been reflected as a reduction in
retained earnings in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as
of September 27, 1997.

                                        3

<PAGE>

   
    In addition to the one-time pre-tax charge of approximately $16.0 million
for direct incremental acquisition-related costs, Schein also expects to record
additional special costs associated with systems modifications and other
integration related charges after the Merger. Such pre-tax charges are currently
not estimable, but could be in the range of $6.0 million to $10.0 million. The
ultimate amount of such costs and the periods in which they will be charged to
expense will vary depending on a number of factors, including the timing and
extent of the integration of the businesses.
    
   
    The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements do not
reflect the special costs associated with systems modifications and other
integration related charges described above incurred during the remainder of
1997 and expected to be incurred thereafter, or any of the anticipated recurring
expense savings.

ITEM 8.                 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
   
               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
    
   
Henry Schein, Inc.
Melville, New York
    
   
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Henry Schein,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's managment. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statments based on
our audits. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of Micro
Bio-Medics, Inc. and Subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of
$60,444,000, $51,136,000, and $54,461,000 as of December 31, 1996, 1995, and
1994, respectively, and total revenues of $150,143,000, $119,874,000, and
$121,604,000 for the years then ended. Those statements were audited by another
auditor whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for such subsidiaries, is based solely on the
report of the other auditors.
    
   
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Henry Schein, Inc. and Subsidiaries
at December 28, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
28, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

statements based on our audits.

NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

   
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry Schein,
Inc. and all of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company"). Investments in unconsolidated affiliates which are 50% or less owned
are accounted for under the equity method. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements
include adjustments to give retroactive effect to the acquisition 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.
    

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fiscal Year

   
     The Company reports its operations on a 52-53 week basis ending on the last
Saturday of December. Accordingly, fiscal years ended December 28, 1996 and
December 30, 1995 consisted of 52 weeks and the fiscal year ended December 31,
1994 consisted of 53 weeks. The accounts of MBMI, have been consolidated on a
basis with a year ended November 30.
    

Revenue Recognition

      Sales are recorded when products are shipped or services are rendered,
except for the portion of revenues from sales of practice management software
which is attributable to noncontractual post contract customer support, which is
deferred and recognized ratably over the period in which the support is expected
to be provided.

Inventories

     Inventories consist substantially of finished goods and are valued at the
lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO")
method.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
primarily under the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives:

                                                        Years

Buildings and improvements........................        40
Machinery and warehouse equipment.................      5 - 10
Furniture, fixtures and other.....................      3 - 10
Computer equipment and software...................      5 - 7


     Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line
method over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or the lease term.

Taxes on Income

     The Company filed a consolidated Federal income tax return with Schein
Holdings, Inc. for the period ended September 30, 1994 (see Note 2). For the
balance of 1994 the Company filed a consolidated Federal income tax return with
its 80% or greater owned subsidiaries and expects to continue to do so
thereafter. Income taxes for financial statement presentation were calculated
through the period ending September 30, 1994 as if the Company filed a separate
tax return.

Premium Coupon Program

     The Company issues premium coupons to certain customers in conjunction with
sales of its products which are redeemable for gifts. Premium coupon redemptions
are accrued as issued based upon expected redemption rates.

Statement of Cash Flows

     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has
determined that the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash flows is not
material.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions


     The financial position and results of operations of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries are determined using local currency as the functional currency.
Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate
in effect at each year-end. Income statement accounts are translated at the
average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments
arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are
included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in stockholders'
equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are
included in earnings, except for certain hedging transactions (see below).

NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial Instruments

     The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge certain firm
commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on these
positions are deferred and included in the basis of the transaction when it is
completed.

     In order to manage interest rate exposure, the Company has entered into
interest rate swap agreements to exchange variable rate debt based on LIBOR into
fixed rate debt without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Net
payments or receipts under the agreements are recorded as adjustments to
interest expense.

     The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued
liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term
maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported for
long-term debt approximates fair value because the underlying instruments are at
variable rates which are repriced frequently.

Acquisitions

     The net assets of businesses purchased are recorded at their fair value at
the acquisition date and the consolidated financial statements include their
operations from that date. Any excess of acquisition costs over the fair value
of identifiable net assets acquired is included in goodwill and is amortized on
a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 30 years.

Long-Lived Assets


     Long-lived assets, such as goodwill and property and equipment, are
evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such
impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No
impairment losses have been necessary through December 28, 1996.

Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for its stock option awards under the intrinsic value
based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under the intrinsic value based
method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of
the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee
must pay to acquire the stock. The Company makes pro forma disclosures of net
income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting
had been applied as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based compensation."

                        (in thousands, except share data)


NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued)

Earnings Per Share

     (a) Historical

     Historical per share information is computed using the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent
shares relating to the stock options issued to executive management in 1995, the
shares issued to senior management in 1994, and the shares contributed to the
ESOP trust in 1994 have been treated as if they were outstanding since the
beginning of 1994. Such ESOP shares and common equivalent shares relating to the
stock options are calculated using the treasury stock method, using the initial
public offering price of $16.00 per share for assumed repurchase. Historical per
share information for 1995 and 1994 is not considered relevant as it would
differ materially from pro forma per share data, given the significance of the
pro forma adjustments.

     (b) Pro Forma Net Income Per Share

     Pro forma net income per share is computed using pro forma net income and
the pro forma weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding, after reflecting a 99-for-1 stock split effected immediately prior

to the initial public offering. The common equivalent shares for pro-forma net
income per share were computed on the same basis as the historical basis.

     (c)  Supplemental Earnings Per Share

     Supplementary net income per share (which is required by APB Opinion No.
15) for the year ended December 28, 1996 was $0.97. For this calculation, the
weighted average number of common shares includes the shares assumed to provide
the proceeds, at the follow-on offering price, needed to retire average
revolving credit borrowings and debt for the period from the beginning of the
year (or the date the debt was incurred) to the respective retirement date, and
the pro forma net income was adjusted to exclude the related financing and
interest expenses of the debt.

NOTE 2--REORGANIZATION

     On December 26, 1992, Henry Schein, Inc., a New York corporation ("Old
HSI"), reorganized its corporate structure to split into separate healthcare
distribution and pharmaceutical companies (the "Split"). The Split was
accomplished by transferring substantially all of Old HSI's assets and
liabilities relating to the distribution business to Henry Schein USA, Inc., a
newly formed corporation ("New HSI"). Subsequent to the Split, the name of Old
HSI was changed to Schein Holdings, Inc. and the name of New HSI was changed to
Henry Schein, Inc. ("HSI"). As a result of the Split, Schein Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings") became the parent of the Company and Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc.
(the pharmaceutical company, "SPINC").

     The accompanying financial statements give retroactive effect to the Split
as described above, and reflect the historical cost bases of the assets and
liabilities of the distribution business.

                        (in thousands, except share data)


NOTE 2 -REORGANIZATION (Continued)

     On February 16, 1994, the shareholders of Holdings and HSI and certain HSI
management entered into an agreement (the "HSI Agreement") whereby certain
voting and non-voting shares of HSI stock were exchanged for new voting stock of
HSI, a 100-for-1 stock split was effectuated, and certain additional agreements
were entered into between HSI, the shareholders and management. The effect of
the stock exchanges was that Holdings distributed all of its shares in HSI to
certain shareholders of Holdings in exchange for its stock.

     The HSI Agreement was subject to approval by the Westchester County
Surrogate Court, which approval was obtained on September 20, 1994. The HSI

Agreement was also subject to the closing of a transaction between the
shareholders of Holdings and Miles, Inc. ("Miles", an unrelated third party)
involving the sale by shareholders of Holdings of 28% of their shares to Miles.

     In connection with the reorganization, during 1992 HSI issued 1,466,685
shares of common stock (valued at $6,173) to one of its executive officers and
147,312 shares of common stock (valued at $620) to an executive officer of
SPINC. In addition, SPINC issued shares to one of its executive officers and an
executive officer of HSI. Each company made cash payments to its respective
executive officer to cover the income taxes relating to the stock issuances. The
HSI shares issued to its executive officer originally were to vest after 10
years of employment. The other stock issuances were forfeitable if certain
events did not occur.

     The stock issuances to HSI's executive officer were accounted for based on
the estimated fair value at the date of issuance, as deferred compensation,
which was classified as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the financial
statements of the applicable company whose executive officer received the
shares. Accordingly, the fair value of the shares of HSI issued to the executive
officer of SPINC was recorded as a distribution to Holdings. Conversely, the
fair value of the shares issued to HSI's executive officer by SPINC in the
amount of $2,641 was treated as a contribution to HSI's capital. The cash
payment to HSI's executive officer in the amount of $5,283 was charged to
operations in 1992 as a special management compensation charge. In 1994, an
additional cash payment of $258 was paid to HSI's executive officer to pay
certain additional income taxes attributable to the 1992 stock issuance and was
recorded as a special management compensation charge.

     As part of the HSI Agreement, the vesting and events of forfeiture were
removed and the stock issued in 1992 became fully vested. Accordingly, the
estimated fair value of the stock issuances to HSI's executive officer were
revalued to reflect the fair values of HSI and SPINC at the time of vesting and
the related deferred compensation, net of amortization, of $17,301 was charged
to earnings as special management compensation in 1994.

     Additionally, pursuant to previous commitments, certain senior management
of HSI were issued 489,456 shares including 91,377 shares issued subsequent to
December 31, 1994 and 83,259 shares issued prior to the closing of the initial
public offering in part to extinguish a previously accrued liability under a
pre-existing long-term incentive plan. In connection with the issuance of these
shares, a cash payment of approximately $2,472 was paid to cover the income
taxes relating to this stock issuance and was charged, along with the estimated
fair value of the related stock issued of $3,465, less the related obligations
extinguished of approximately $1,900, as special compensation and is included in
special compensation in 1994.

NOTE 2 - REORGANIZATION (Continued)

     The shares issued to the executive officer and the senior management of HSI
were subject to repurchase by HSI at fair market value in the event employment
was terminated for any reason or an initial public offering of HSI's stock did
not occur by December 31, 1999. The repurchase feature was eliminated upon the
closing of the initial public offering. Special management compensation for the
year ended December 30, 1995 includes a $17,484 charge to operations to reflect
the appreciation in the market value of stock grants and issuances based on the
initial public offering price of $16.00 per share and a cash payment of
approximately $508 to cover income taxes related to those stock grants and
issuances.

     In addition, special management compensation for the year ended December
30, 1995 includes a charge of $2,805 to reflect the excess of the initial public
offering price over the exercise price of Class A options issued to certain
executive management in May 1995 (see Note 14(a)).

     Special charges incurred in connection with this reorganization consist of
special management compensation expense of $20,797 and $21,596 for the years
ended 1995 and 1994, respectively, and special professional fees of $2,007 for
1994.

     In 1994, the Company incurred special professional fees on behalf of its
stockholders relating to the reorganization in the amount of $552. This amount
was deemed to be a dividend and deducted from retained earnings.

to compete, computer programming costs, customer lists and deferred acquisition
costs. Goodwill and other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis
over periods not exceeding 30 years.

     The Company's investments are predominately 50% owned unconsolidated
affiliates consisting of various companies involved in the healthcare
distribution business and HS Pharmaceutical, Inc., which manufactures generic
pharmaceuticals. As of December 28, 1996, the Company's investments in
unconsolidated affiliates were $2,859 more than the Company's proportionate
share of the underlying equity of these affiliates. This amount, which has been
treated as goodwill, is being amortized over 30 years and charged to equity in
the operating results of these companies. As of December 28, 1996, approximately
$6,632 of the Company's retained earnings represented undistributed earnings of
affiliates. Combined financial data for substantially all of these companies is

NOTE 7--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

   
     The Company acquired 36 healthcare distribution businesses between 1994 and
1996, including, on July 7, 1995, the distribution business of The Veratex
Corporation ("Veratex"), a national direct marketer of medical, dental and
veterinary products, on January 18, 1996, Stone Medical Supply Corporation
("Stone") in a tax-free merger, and on July 10, 1996, Scientific Supply Company,
Inc., a regional distributor of medical supplies. The total amount of cash paid
and promissory notes issued for these acquisitions was approximately $33,423,
$22,710 and $3,760, for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company also
issued 329,215 shares of common stock in 1996 in connection with three of its
acquisitions and 1,260,416 shares of common stock in connection with one of its
1995 acquisitions, of which approximately 928,700 shares were issued to a
stockholder of the Company. In connection with the Stone transaction, MBMI
entered into fifteen year non-compete agreements with two former executives of
Stone. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method,
except one from an affiliate which involves carryover of predecessor basis with

respect to the affiliate's proportionate share of net assets. Operations of
these businesses have been included in the consolidated financial statements
from their acquisition dates.
    

     Certain acquisitions provide for contingent consideration, primarily cash,
to be paid in the event certain financial performance targets are satisfied over
periods typically not exceeding three years from the date of acquisition. The
Company's policy is to record a liability for such amounts when it becomes clear
that targets will be met. As of December 28, 1996 no liabilities have been
recorded for contingent consideration.

     The summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations set forth below
for 1996 and 1995 assume the acquisitions occurred as of the beginning of each
of these periods.

NOTE 7--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

   

     On February 28, 1997, the Company acquired all the common stock of Dentrix
in exchange for 1,070,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Dentrix is a
leading provider of clinically-based dental practice management systems and had
net sales of approximately $10,200. The Dentrix acquisition was accounted for as
a pooling of interests, and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
for the periods presented have been restated to include Dentrix. Prior to its
acquisition by the Company, Dentrix elected to be taxed as an S Corporation
under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the current taxable income of
Dentrix was taxable to its shareholders who were responsible for payment of
taxes thereon. Upon its acquisition, Dentrix will be taxed as a regular
corporation. Pro forma adjustments have been made to the restated statement of
operations to reflect the income taxes that would have been provided had Dentrix
been subjected to income taxes in prior years. Pursuant to a policy adopted in
1992, as an S Corporation, Dentrix made regular distributions to its
stockholders which included amounts to pay taxes on their allocable corporate
earnings and for other purposes.
    


   
On August 1, 1997 the Company acquired MBMI, a distributor of medical supplies
and related products (See Note 19). The MBMI acquisition was accounted for as a
pooling of interests and, accordingly the consolidated financial statements have
been restated to include MBMI.

(a) Revolving Credit Agreement

    On January 31, 1997, the Company entered into an amended revolving credit
agreement which, among other things, increased the maximum borrowings to $100
million from $65 million, extended the term of the agreement to January 30, 2002
and reduced the interest rate charged to the Company. The interest rate on any
borrowings under the agreement is based on prime or LIBOR as defined in the
agreement, which were 8.25% and 5.69%, respectively, at December 28, 1996. The
borrowings outstanding at December 28, 1996 were at interest rates ranging from
6.3% to 8.25%. The agreement provides for a sliding scale fee ranging from 0.1%
to 0.3%, based upon certain financial ratios, on any unused portion of the
commitment. The agreement also provides, among other things, that HSI will
maintain, on a consolidated basis, as defined, a minimum tangible net worth,
current, cash flow, and interest coverage ratios, a maximum leverage ratio, and
contains restrictions relating to annual dividends in excess of $500, guarantees
of subsidiary debt, investments in subsidiaries, mergers and acquisitions,

(b)  Secured Revolving Loan

   
    A subsidiary of the Company has a $25 million secured revolving loan
agreement with certain banks. The loan agreement expires on February 15, 1999
and bears interest at prime rate plus 0.25%, except for certain portions
utilized for Eurodollar loans. As of December 28, 1996, $4,000 of the $7,500
revolving loan outstanding was utilized for Eurodollar loans at an average
interest rate of approximately 6.625%. The loan is collateralized by accounts
receivable and inventory with a book value of approximately $44,800. In
connection with the loan agreement, the subsidiary has agreed to certain
restrictions relating to its indebtedness and liens, and has agreed to maintain
specified financial ratios and covenants. The loan agreement prohibits the
subsidiary from paying any dividends and restricts capital distributions or
redemptions and purchases or retirements of any of the subsidiary's capital
stock without consent of the banks. Additionally, there are restrictions as to 
investments, acquisitions, capital expenditures and payments to related parties.
A commitment fee equal to 1/8% per annum will be charged on the unused portion 
of the loan. The loan may be repaid at any time.
    

(c)  Notes Payable for Business Acquisitions

    In November 1993, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a term loan
agreement for $5,290 with a bank. The proceeds of this loan were used to acquire
a dental supply distribution company. Principal is payable in semi-annual
installments of $227 through October 1997, with a final balloon payment of
$3,474 on October 31, 1997. Interest is payable quarterly at a rate of 6.5% per
year. The agreement also provides for the same financial covenants and
restrictions as the revolving credit agreement. In October 1995, the Company
entered into a term loan agreement for $2,400 with a third party. The proceeds
of this loan were used to acquire a medical distribution company. The loan was
repaid in June 1996.

(d)  Convertible Subordinated Debentures

    In November 1993, a subsidiary of the Company completed a private sale and
issuance of 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures ("Debentures") due October
30, 2003. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures, which had a face
value of $3,000, was approximately $2,700. The Debentures were immediately
convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock. On September 28, 1995,
$1,500 of the Debentures were converted into 116,250 equivalent shares of the
Company's Common Stock. As of May 10, 1996, all remaining outstanding Debentures
were converted into equivalent shares of the Company's Common Stock.

    As of December 28, 1996, the aggregate amounts of long-term debt maturing in
each of the next five years are as follows: 1997- $8,894; 1998 - $2,105; 1999 -

         Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Those earnings have been and
will continue to be reinvested. These earnings could become subject to
additional tax if they were remitted as dividends, if foreign earnings were
loaned to the Company or a U.S. affiliate, or if the Company should sell its
stock in the foreign subsidiaries. It is not practicable to determine the amount
of additional tax, if any, that might be payable on the foreign earnings;
however, the Company believes that foreign tax credits would substantially
offset any U.S. tax. At December 28, 1996, the cumulative amount of reinvested
earnings was approximately $2,078.

NOTE 11-- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATIONS

        (a) Financial Instruments

        To reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies and
interest rates, the Company is party to foreign currency forward contracts and
interest rate swaps with major financial institutions.

        While the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties of these contracts, the Company does not
anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. The Company does not require
collateral or other security to support these financial instruments.

        As of December 28, 1996, the Company has outstanding foreign currency
forward contracts aggregating $9,790 related to debt and the purchase and sale
of merchandise. The contracts hedge against currency fluctuations of the
Canadian dollar ($3,946), Swiss Franc ($707), The Netherland Guilder ($4,776),
Deutsche Mark ($180), and Japanese Yen ($181). The contracts expire at various
dates through October 1997. At December 28, 1996, the Company had net deferred
losses from foreign currency forward contracts of $27.

        As of December 28, 1996, HSI had $13,000 outstanding in interest rate
swaps. These swaps are used to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt to
reduce the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The net result was
to substitute a weighted average fixed interest rate of 7.81% for the variable
LIBOR rate on $13,000 of the Company's debt. The swaps expire in October and
November 2001. Under the interest rate environment during the year ended
December 28, 1996, the net fair value of the Company's interest rate swap
agreements resulted in a recognized loss of $299.

        On June 7, 1995, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a zero cost,
three year interest rate swap agreement for $10,000 intented to reduce interest

rate risk. The agreement serves to limit the net interest rate charged on the
subsidiary's first $10,000 of revolving loans to 8.25%. The subsidiary receives
no further interest rate benefit once the applicable interest rate falls below
6.55%.

        In October 1994, a subsidiary of the Company recorded a $509 foreign
currency gain relating to an intercompany loan intended to be repaid. This gain
is reflected in the Other-net section of the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

        (b) Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of
trade receivables and short-term cash investments.

NOTE 11-- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATIONS (Continued)

        The Company places its short-term cash investments with high credit
quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit
exposure to any one financial institution. Concentrations of credit risk with
respect to trade receivables are limited due to a large customer base and its
dispersion across different types of healthcare professionals and geographic
areas. The Company maintains an allowance for losses based on the expected
collectability of all receivables. Included in Accounts receivable and Long-term
receivables at December 28, 1996 is $18,355 and $7,785, respectively, related to
Easy Dental(R) Plus software sales with non-interest bearing extended payment
terms. Total unamortized discounts at December 28, 1996 amounted to $1,487 based
on an imputed interest rate of 8.25%. Included in interest income for the year
ended December 28, 1996 was approximately $998 of inputed interest relating to
these non-interest bearing extended payment term receivables. Imputed interest
relating to these receivables was not material for 1995 and 1994.

NOTE 12--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     (a) In the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases
pharmaceutical products from certain unconsolidated affiliates. Net purchases
from these affiliates amounted to $15,037, $8,730 and $12,055 in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Included in Accounts Payable at December 28, 1996 and
December 30, 1995 were $1,523 and $1,591, respectively, for amounts due to these
affiliates for purchases made from them.

     (b) The Company also shares certain services with these and other
unconsolidated affiliates which are charged to the affiliates at cost. The

Company charged these affiliates $602, $891 and $1,691 during 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively, for these services. In addition, sales (at cost) to
unconsolidated affiliates were $5,832, $3,784 and $3,160 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

     (c) The Company recorded interest income of $129, $88 and $87, and interest
expense of $32, $26 and $13 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, attributable
to transactions with unconsolidated affiliates. Included in the Other section of
current assets are amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates of $5,154 and
$2,051 at December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995, respectively.

     (d) A subsidiary of the Company leases its primary operating facility from
an officer of the subsidiary. Rent expense attributed to this facility amounted
to $209 for 1996 and 1995.

     (e) During 1994, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a sales service
agreement with an entity ("Salesco") owned by an officer of the subsidiary.
Under the terms of this agreement the subsidiary is required to reimburse
Salesco for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the services it
provides to the subsidiary and pay a fee to Salesco based upon a formula applied
to its pre-tax profit. Amounts paid during 1996, 1995 and 1994 under this
agreement were not material.

    (f) The Company purchases products from Schein Dental Equipment Corp.
("SDEC"), formerly owned by a stockholder. In September 1995, the Company

NOTE 14--EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     (a) Stock Compensation Plan

    The Company maintains a 1994 Stock Option Plan for the benefit of certain
employees under which 679,635 shares of common stock may be issued. The Plan
provides for two classes of options: Class A options and Class B options. A
maximum of 237,897 shares of common stock may be covered by Class A options.
Both incentive and nonqualified stock options may be issued under the Plan.

    In 1995, Class A options to acquire 237,897 common shares were issued to
certain executive management at an exercise price of $4.21 per share,
substantially all of which became exercisable upon the closing of the initial
public offering, at which time the excess of the initial public offering price
of $16.00 over the exercise price ($2,805) was charged to special management
compensation expense. On November 3, 1995, the Company issued Class B options to
acquire 413,400 shares of common stock to certain employees at an exercise price
of $16.00 per share. During 1996, Class A options totalling 16,500 and Class B
options totalling 10,200 were forfeited, and 48,000 Class B options were issued.
The exercise price of all Class B options equalled the market price on the date
of grant and accordingly no compensation cost was recognized. Substantially all
Class B options become exercisable ratably over three years from the date of
issuance.

    The Class A and Class B options are exercisable up to the tenth anniversary
of the date of issuance, subject to acceleration upon termination of employment.

     On May 8, 1996, the Company's stockholders approved the 1996 Non-Employee
Director Stock Option Plan, under which the Company may grant options to each
director who is not also an officer or employee of the Company, for up to 50,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The exercise price and term, not to exceed
10 years, of each option is determined by the plan committee at the time of the
grant. During 1996, 10,000 options were granted to certain non-employee
directors at an exercise price of $29.00 per share which was equal to the market
price on the date of grant.

    The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise
price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

(b) Stock Options and Warrants Of An Acquired Subsidiary

    Under various plans, of an acquired subsidiary (MBMI), the subsidiary could
grant stock options to directors, officers and employees. The options had to be
granted at exercise prices of not less than fair market value and expire within
ten years from the date of grant. Transactions, on a converted basis, under the
various stock option and incentive plans for the periods indicated were as
follows (on a converted basis to reflect the exchange rates of the Company's
shares for MBMI's):

    MBMI's Options outstanding, on a converted basis, at the years ended 1996, 
1995 and 1994 ranged in price on a converted basis from $3.63 to $26.61. Options
exercised ranged in price on a converted basis from $3.63 to $16.53 in 1996,
1995 and 1994.
    
   
    MBMI's Series 1 warrants, on a converted basis, expired in June 1996 and 
almost all were exercised at $9.68 per 0.65 shares on a converted basis. The
total net proceeds from the exercise of all warrants from 1992 (inception)
through June 1996 were approximalely $7,900 with approximately 868,000 shares of
common stock being issued on a converted basis.
    


   
     Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company and its acquired
subsidiary had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value
method of SFAS 123. The weighted average fair value of options granted during
1996 and 1995 was $14.75 and $10.00, respectively. The fair value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1996 and 1995,
risk-free interest rates of 6% for both years; volatility factor of the expected
market price of the Company's common stock of 30% for both years; and a
weighted-average expected life of the option of 10 years. This information is
presented for the Company only as MBMI was a November year-end and accordingly
was not required for MBMI under SFAS 123.

regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the Company's

merit, covered by insurance or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as
would not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the
Company if disposed of unfavorably.

NOTE 18 - QUARTERLY INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

    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, 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, the release of software
enhancements, timing of purchases, special promotional campaigns, fluctuations
in exchange rates associated with international operations and adverse weather
conditions. In the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company made adjustments which
increased net income by approximately $2,400. These adjustments, which related
predominately to estimated reserves for premium coupon redemptions, finance
charges receivable, and taxes, resulted from management's updated evaluations of
historical trends (reflecting changes in business practices and other factors)
and other assumptions underlying such estimates. The amounts of such reserves in
prior quarters were based on reasonable estimates reflecting available facts and
circumstances.

    Earnings per share calculations for each quarter were based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for each period, and the sum of the
quarters may not necessarily be equal to the full year earnings per share
amount.

NOTE 19 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   
    On March 7, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which MBMI merged into a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the transaction, the outstanding

shares of MBMI's common stock were exchanged at a fixed rate of 0.62 of a share
of the Company's Common Stock for each outstanding 1.0 share of MBMI.
    

       
   
    MBMI distributes medical supplies to physicians and hospitals in the New
York metropolitan area, as well as to healthcare professionals in sports
medicine, emergency medicine, school health, industrial safety, government and
laboratory markets nationwide. MBMI had net sales of approximately $150,000 
and earnings of approximately $1,700 for its fiscal year ended November
30, 1996.
    
   
    This transaction closed and the merger between MBMI and a subsidiary of the
Company became effective August 1, 1997.

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   Basis of Presentation:

   
Except for the December 31, 1996 balance sheet, the financial statements have 
been prepared by the Company, without audit by
independent certified public accountants, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations since the Company
believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of September 30, 1997, as well as the results of operations and the
cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, have
been included.

The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.

   Inventory:

The Company measures inventory and cost of sales for interim financial
statements by use of a historically developed gross profit percentage. Annually,
the Company adjusts the inventory to reflect the results of a physical count.

   Net Income Per Share:

Net income per share and the dilutive effect on net income per share of
potentially dilutive stock options are computed by the treasury stock method.
Common stock equivalents result from the assumed issuance of shares under stock
option plans.

   Cash Flows:

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. The changes in assets and liabilities in the operating section

of the statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997, are reflected net of the effects of the acquisitions consummated.

material. Four of these acquisitions were purchased with treasury stock.
