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
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 for the year ended December 25, 1999. The
Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 24, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending
December 30, 2000, or any other period.

Note 2. Business Acquisitions

         During the six months ended June 24, 2000, the Company completed three
acquisitions. None of the acquisitions completed in 2000 were material. Of the
three completed acquisitions, two were accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting and the remaining acquisition was accounted for under the pooling
of interests method of accounting. The Company issued 465,480 shares of its
Common Stock, with an aggregate value of approximately $7,900 in connection with
the pooling transaction. The transactions completed under the purchase method of
accounting have been included in the consolidated financial statements from
their respective acquisition dates. The pooling transaction was not material and
has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of
the second quarter of 2000.

         During the six months ended June 26, 1999 the Company completed eight
acquisitions. The 1999 completed acquisitions included General Injectables and
Vaccines, Inc. ("GIV"), through the purchase of all of the outstanding common
stock of Biological and Popular Culture, Inc., a leading independent direct
marketer of vaccines and other injectables to office-based practitioners
throughout the United States; and the Heiland Group GmbH ("Heiland"), the
largest direct marketer of healthcare supplies to medical, dental and veterinary
office-based practitioners, in Germany. Of the eight completed acquisitions,
seven were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the
remaining acquisition was accounted for under the pooling of interests method of
accounting. The transactions completed under the purchase method of accounting
have been included in the consolidated financial statements from their
respective acquisition dates. The pooling transaction was not material and has
been included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the
first quarter of 1999. Due to the closing dates of the GIV and Heiland
acquisitions, which occurred on December 30, 1998 and December 27, 1998,
respectively, there were no material differences between actual and pro forma
results of operations.

integration costs during the three and six months ended June 24, 2000 and June
26, 1999 of approximately $585 and $585, and $5,271 and $7,474, respectively.
These costs consist primarily of compensation and rent as well as other

Note 4. 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, veterinary and international business groups,
distributes healthcare products (primarily consumable) and services to
office-based healthcare practitioners and professionals in the combined North
American, European and the Pacific Rim markets. The technology segment consists
primarily of the Company's practice management software business and certain
other value-added products and services which 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
Company's business segments:

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

Three Months Ended June 24, 2000 compared to Three Months Ended June 26, 1999

         Net sales increased $8.9 million, or 1.6%, to $568.2 million for the
three months ended June 24, 2000 from $559.3 million for the three months ended
June 26, 1999. Net sales of the Company's healthcare distribution business
increased approximately $9.8 million, or 1.8%. As part of this increase
approximately $10.9 million represented a 6.7% increase in the Company's medical
business, $4.8 million represented a 1.8% increase in its dental business, $0.8
million represented a 5.9% increase in its veterinary business, and $(6.7)
million represented a 6.4% decrease in its international business. The increase
in medical net sales is primarily attributable to telesales and marketing
activities, partially offset by a decrease in sales to hospitals. The increase
in dental net sales was primarily due to improved dental consumable merchandise
sales. In the veterinary market, the increase in net sales was primarily due to
increased account penetration. In the international market, the decrease in net
sales was primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates offset partially
by increased account penetration in France, Germany and Spain. Unfavorable
exchange rate translation adjustments decreased net sales in the international
market by $9.4 million. Had net sales for the international market been
translated at the same rates in effect during the second quarter of 1999,
international net sales would have increased by 2.6%. The technology business
decreased $0.9 million, or 4.8%, to $17.6 million for the three months ended
June 24, 2000, from $18.5 million for the three months ended June 26, 1999.
The decrease in technology and value-added product net sales was primarily due
to lower sales of non-software related value-added services. Excluding
value-added services, net sales were up 7.0% in the Company's practice
management software and related technologies business when compared to the
second quarter of 1999.

         Gross profit increased by $8.6 million, or 4.9%, to $182.7 million for
the three months ended June 24, 2000 from $174.1 million for the three months
ended June 26, 1999. Gross profit margin increased 1.1% to 32.2% from 31.1% for
the same period last year. Healthcare distribution gross profit increased $9.1
million, or 5.6%, to $170.9 million for the three months ended June 24, 2000
from $161.8 million for the three months ended June 26, 1999. Healthcare
distribution gross profit margin increased by 1.1% to 31.0% for the three months
ended June 24, 2000 from 29.9% for the three months ended June 26, 1999,
primarily due to sales mix. Technology gross profit decreased by $0.5 million or
4.1% to $11.8 million for the three months ended June 24, 2000 from $12.3
million for the three months ended June 26, 1999 primarily due to sales volume.
Technology gross profit margins increased by 0.6% to 67.1% for three months
ended June 24, 2000 from 66.5% for the three months ended June 26, 1999,
primarily due to changes in sales mix.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.2 million,
or 6.5%, to $151.2 million for the three months ended June 24, 2000 from $142.0
million for the three months ended June 26, 1999. Selling and shipping expenses
increased by $4.6 million, or 4.8%, to $100.4 million for the three months ended
June 24, 2000 from $95.8 million for the three months ended June 26, 1999. As a
percentage of net sales, selling and shipping expenses increased 0.6% to 17.7%
for the three months ended June 24, 2000 from 17.1% for the three months ended
June 26, 1999. General and administrative expenses increased $4.6 million, or
10.0%, to $50.8 million for the three months ended June 24, 2000 from $46.2
million for the three months ended June 26, 1999. As a percentage of net sales,
general and administrative expenses increased 0.6% to 8.9% for the three months
ended June 24, 2000 from 8.3% for the three months ended June 26, 1999.

                                       10

<PAGE>

         Other income (expense) - net changed by $0.9 million, to $(4.4) million
for the three months ended June 24, 2000, compared to $(3.5) million for the
three months ended June 26, 1999, due primarily to foreign currency losses and
lower finance charge income on receivables, offset by lower interest expense, as
a result of reduced debt levels.

         Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates increased $0.7 million to
$0.1 million for the three months ended June 24, 2000 from $(0.6) million for
the three months ended June 26, 1999. The increase is due to a reduced loss in
2000 from HS Pharmaceutical, an affiliated company, which is accounted for under
the equity method. In 1998, HS Pharmaceutical suspended manufacturing of certain
anesthetic products. On September 23, 1999, the United States Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA") issued clearance for HS Pharmaceutical to resume
production of its anesthetic products for shipment into the United States. HS
Pharmaceutical resumed limited production and shipment of its products in the
fourth quarter of 1999.

         For the three months ended June 24, 2000 the Company's effective tax
rate was 36.8%. For the three months ended June 26, 1999, the Company's
effective tax rate was 38.5%. Excluding merger and integration costs, net of
applicable taxes, the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended
June 24, 2000 and June 26, 1999 would have been 36.0% and 39.0%, respectively.
The difference between the Company's effective tax rate, excluding certain
non-deductible merger and integration costs, and the Federal statutory rate
relates primarily to state income taxes.

Six Months Ended June 24, 2000 compared to Six Months Ended June 26, 1999

         Net sales increased $26.4 million, or 2.4%, to $1,122.0 million for the
six months ended June 24, 2000 from $1,095.6 million for the six months ended
June 26, 1999. Of the $26.4 million increase, approximately $24.6 million, or
93.2%, represented a 2.3% increase in the Company's healthcare distribution
business. As part of this increase approximately $21.7 million represented a
6.8% increase in the Company's medical business, $6.3 million represented a 1.2%
increase in its dental business, $1.6 million represented a 6.0% increase in its
veterinary business and $(5.0) million represented a 2.5% decrease in its
international business. The increase in medical net sales is primarily
attributable to telesales and marketing activities, partially offset by a
decrease in sales to hospitals. The increase in dental net sales was primarily
due to improved dental consumable merchandise sales. In the veterinary market,
the increase in net sales was primarily due to increased account penetration. In
the international market, the decrease in net sales was primarily due to
unfavorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by increased account
penetration in Germany, France and Spain. Unfavorable exchange rate translation
adjustments decreased net sales in the international market by $18.0 million.
Had net sales for the international market been translated at the same rates in
effect during the first six months of 1999, international net sales would have
increased by 6.4%. The remaining increase in 2000 net sales was due to the
technology business, which increased $1.8 million, or 5.5%, to $34.3 million for
the six months ended June 24, 2000, from $32.5 million for the six months ended
June 26, 1999. The increase in technology and value-added product net sales was
primarily due to increased practice management software and related technology
sales.

         Gross profit increased by $14.4 million, or 4.3%, to $351.9 million for
the six months ended June 24, 2000 from $337.5 million for the six months ended
June 26, 1999. Gross profit margin increased 0.6% to 31.4% from 30.8% for the
same period last year. Healthcare distribution gross profit increased $12.9
million, or 4.1%, to $328.7 million for the six months ended June 24, 2000 from
$315.8 million for the six months ended June 26, 1999. Healthcare distribution
gross profit margin increased by 0.5% to

                                       11
<PAGE>


30.2% for the six months ended June 24, 2000 from 29.7% for the six months ended
June 26, 1999, primarily due to sales mix. Technology gross profit increased by
$1.5 million or 6.9% to $23.2 million for the six months ended June 24, 2000
from $21.7 million for the six months ended June 26, 1999. Technology gross
profit margins increased by 1.1% to 67.8% for six months ended June 24, 2000
from 66.7% for the six months ended June 26, 1999, primarily due to changes in
sales mix.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $15.1
million, or 5.4%, to $296.9 million for the six months ended June 24, 2000 from
$281.8 million for the six months ended June 26, 1999. Selling and shipping
expenses increased by $5.5 million, or 2.9%, to $196.0 million for the six
months ended June 24, 2000 from $190.5 million for the six months ended June 26,
1999. As a percentage of net sales, selling and shipping expenses increased 0.1%
to 17.5% for the six months ended June 24, 2000 from 17.4% for the six months
ended June 26, 1999. General and administrative expenses increased $9.6 million,
or 10.5%, to $100.9 million for the six months ended June 24, 2000 from $91.3
million for the six months ended June 26, 1999. As a percentage of net sales,
general and administrative expenses increased 0.7% to 9.0% for the six months
ended June 24, 2000 from 8.3% for the six months ended June 26, 1999.

         Other income (expense) - net changed by $2.2 million, to $(9.3) million
for the six months ended June 24, 2000, compared to $(7.1) million for the six
months ended June 26, 1999, due primarily to lower finance charge income on
receivables and foreign currency losses, offset by lower interest expense, as a
result of reduced debt levels.

         Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates increased $1.1 million to
$0.2 million for the six months ended June 24, 2000 from $(0.9) million for the
six months ended June 26, 1999. The increase is due to a reduced loss in 2000
from HS Pharmaceutical, an affiliated company, which is accounted for under the
equity method. In 1998, HS Pharmaceutical suspended manufacturing of certain
anesthetic products. On September 23, 1999, the FDA issued clearance for HS
Pharmaceutical to resume production of its anesthetic products for shipment into
the United States. HS Pharmaceutical resumed limited production and shipment of
its products in the fourth quarter of 1999.

         For the six months ended June 24, 2000 the Company's effective tax rate
was 36.7%. For the six months ended June 26, 1999, the Company's effective tax
rate was 39.1%. Excluding merger and integration costs net of applicable taxes
the Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 24, 2000 and June
26, 1999 would have been 36.2% and 39.3%, respectively. The difference between
the Company's effective tax rate, excluding certain non-deductible merger and
integration costs, and the Federal statutory rate relates primarily to state
income taxes.

Plan of Restructuring

         On August 1, 2000, the Company announced a comprehensive restructuring
plan designed to improve customer service and increase profitability by
maximizing the Company's infrastructure. This worldwide initiative includes the
elimination of approximately 300 positions, or about 5% of the total workforce,
throughout the organization and at all levels.

         It is expected that the restructuring plan will be implemented over the
balance of 2000 and will be completed by December 30, 2000. The Company expects
to record a one-time restructuring charge of approximately $14.0 million pre-tax
($8.4 million after tax), or $0.20 per diluted share, during the second half of
2000.

                                       12

This restructuring charge will primarily be composed of severance pay, facility
closing costs, and outside professional and consulting fees directly related to
the restructuring plan.

Euro Conversion

         Effective January 1, 1999, 11 of the 15 member countries of the
European Union have adopted the Euro as their common legal currency. On that
date, the participating countries established fixed Euro conversion rates
between their existing sovereign currencies and the Euro. The Euro now trades on
currency exchanges and is available for non-cash transactions. The participating
countries now issue sovereign debt exclusively in Euros, and have re-denominated
outstanding sovereign debt. The authority to direct monetary policy for the
participating countries, including money supply and official interest rates for
the Euro, is now exercised by the new European Central Bank.

         The Company has established an Euro Task Force to address its
information system, product and customer concerns. The Company expects to
achieve timely Euro information system and product readiness, so as to conduct
transactions in the Euro, in accordance with implementation schedules as they
are established by the European Commission. The Company does not anticipate that
the costs of the overall effort will have a material adverse impact on future
results.

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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's principal capital requirements have been to fund (a)
repayments on bank borrowings, (b) capital expenditures, (c) acquisitions, and
(d) working capital needs resulting from increased sales and special inventory
forward buy-in opportunities. Since sales have been strongest during the fourth
quarter and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities are most prevalent
just before the end of the year, the Company's working capital requirements have
been generally higher from the end of the third quarter to the end of the first
quarter of the following year. The Company has financed its business primarily
through revolving credit facilities, private placement loans, and stock
issuances.

         Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June
24, 2000 of $65.3 million resulted primarily from net income of $27.8 million,
an increase in components of working capital of $20.2 million and non-cash
charges of $17.3 million. The increase in components of working capital was
primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $26.2 million, a decrease
in inventory of $7.3 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and accruals of
$14.2 million. The Company anticipates future increases in working capital
requirements as a result of sales

                                       13
<PAGE>

growth and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities.

         Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 24,
2000 of $11.6 million resulted primarily from cash used for capital
expenditures. The Company expects that it will invest more than $25.0 million
during the year ending December 30, 2000, in capital projects to modernize and
expand its facilities and infrastructure systems and integrate operations.

         Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 24,
2000 of $35.6 million resulted primarily from repayments on the Company's
revolving credit facility and other long-term debt, offset by proceeds from new
borrowings and issuances of stock resulting from option conversions.

         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 24, 2000 of $45.9
million consist of bank balances, money market funds and other short-term
investments.

         The Company has a $150.0 million revolving credit facility, which has a
termination date of August 15, 2002. Borrowings under the credit facility were
$21.0 million at June 24, 2000. The Company also has one uncommitted bank line
totaling $15.0 million, none of which has been borrowed at June 24, 2000.
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have revolving credit facilities that
total approximately $52.1 million at June 24, 2000, under which $37.7 million
has 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 proceeds of which were used respectively, for
the permanent financing of the GIV and Heiland acquisitions, as well as repaying
and retiring a portion of four uncommitted bank lines and to pay down amounts
owed under its revolving credit facility. The $130.0 million notes come due in
full 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
through 2010. The notes 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, its
anticipated cash flow from operations, its ability to access private and public
debt and equity markets, and the availability of funds under its existing credit
agreements will provide it with sufficient liquidity to meet its short and
long-term capital needs.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The manufacture or distribution of certain products by the Company
involves a risk of product liability claims, and from time to time the Company
is named as a defendant in products liability cases as a result of its
distribution of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products. As of the end of
the Company's second fiscal quarter of 2000, the Company was named a defendant
in approximately seventy-two such cases. Of these product liability claims,
fifty-eight involve claims made by healthcare workers who claim allergic
reaction relating to exposure to latex gloves. In these cases, the Company acted
as a distributor of both brand name and/or "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 these 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 the financial viability of the manufacturer and their insurers.

         In addition, the Company is subject to other claims, suits and
complaints, which arise in the course of the Company's business. In Texas
District Court, Travis County, the Company, and one of its subsidiaries, are
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
name. In October 1999, the Court, on motion, certified both a Windows 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 customers and 15,000 DOS customers could be
covered by the judge's ruling. The Company has filed an appeal of the Court's
determination, during which time a trial on the merits is stayed. 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 the
Company is provided indemnification by the manufacturer of the product. There
can be no assurance that the coverage maintained by the Company is sufficient to
cover all future claims or will be available in adequate amounts or at a
reasonable cost, or that indemnification agreements will provide adequate
protection for the Company. The Company intends to vigorously defend all such
claims, suits and complaints. In the opinion of the Company, all such pending
matters are 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.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         In the second fiscal quarter of 2000, the Company issued 465,480 shares
of common stock in connection with an acquisition. The offer and sale of such
shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the
exemption provided by Section 4(2) of such act.
