                      ARBOR DRUGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (UNAUDITED)


     1.  Basis of Presentation

          The condensed consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, necessary
     for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
     and cash flows at April 30, 1994 and for all periods presented.  The
     condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and
     notes contained in Arbor's Annual Report on Form  10-K for the fiscal
     year ended July 31, 1993.  The results of operations for any interim
     period should not necessarily be considered indicative of the results
     of operations for the full year.

     2.  Inventory Valuation

          Inventory at interim periods is valued on a last-in, first-out
     (LIFO) basis which is determined based upon estimates of gross profit
     rates, inflation rates and inventory levels, which is adjusted for the
     results of physical inventories when taken.

     3.  Legal Proceedings

          The Company entered into a settlement, dated June 7, 1994, with
     the United States and the State of Michigan resolving claims under the
     Federal False Claims Act and other statutes arising out of the
     Company's alleged overstatement of drug acquisition costs in its
     billings to certain third-party providers during the period from 1988
     to the present.  In connection with the settlement, the Company
     agreed, without admitting any fault, to pay $7,000,000 and to modify
     its drug acquisition cost formula for Medicaid reimbursement claims.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          References to years are to the Company's fiscal years, which end
     July 31.

     Net Sales
     ---------
          Net sales increased by 16.5% and 15.3% for the three and nine
     months ended April 30, 1994, respectively, over the comparable periods
     of the prior year.  The increases were primarily attributable to the
     opening of new drugstores and increases of 6.8% and 7.7% in comparable
     store sales (sales by stores in operation for at least 12 months) for
     the three and nine months ended April 30, 1994, respectively. 
     Comparable store sales for the quarter were negatively impacted by
     inclement weather experienced throughout much of February 1994.  As of
     April 30, 1994 the Company operated 153 stores, compared to 134 stores
     as of April 30, 1993. 

          Pharmacy sales represented 50.1 percent of total sales for the
     third quarter of 1994 and 48.8 percent of total sales for the first
     nine months of 1994.  Comparable store pharmacy sales increased 10.2
     percent for the quarter and 12.4 percent for the first nine months of
     1994. 

     Cost of Sales
     -------------
          Cost of sales represented 73.4% of net sales for both the three
     and nine months ended April 30, 1994 compared to 73.1% for both
     periods of the prior year.  The increase in the 1994 cost percentages
     reflected rising pharmaceutical product costs and the resulting gross
     margin percentage pressure due to the reimbursement practices of the
     Company's third-party providers.  Reimbursement from third-party
     providers generally consists of an amount to reimburse the Company for
     product costs for the prescription drugs dispensed, plus a dispensing
     fee, which represents compensation to the Company for the services it
     renders.  As drug costs increase, or new drug products having a higher
     cost are sold, the gross margin percentage for pharmaceutical sales
     will decline, because the fixed dispensing fee remains the same
     pursuant to the applicable third-party program.


     Selling, General and Administrative Expense
     -------------------------------------------
          Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a
     percentage of net sales was 22.0% and 21.5% for the three and nine
     months ended April 30, 1994, respectively, compared to 22.4% and 22.0%
     for the comparable periods of the prior year.  The decrease in the
     percentages was due primarily to the distribution of the Company's
     fixed costs over a larger sales base and the Company's cost
     containment efforts.  Also contributing to the decrease between the
     comparable nine month periods was the inclusion of a one-time charge
     of $1,025,000, relating to the resolution of a lease dispute, which
     occurred in the second quarter of 1993.

     Provision for Third-Party Settlement and Related Expenses
     ---------------------------------------------------------
          The Company entered into a settlement, dated June 7, 1994, with
     the United States and the State of Michigan resolving claims under the
     Federal False Claims Act and other statutes arising out of the
     Company's alleged overstatement of drug acquisition costs in its
     billings to certain third-party providers during the period from 1988
     to the present.  In connection with the settlement, the Company
     agreed, without admitting any fault, to pay $7,000,000 and to modify
     its drug acquisition cost formula for Medicaid reimbursement claims. 
     The Company estimates that had the modified Medicaid reimbursement
     formula been applied during the first nine months of 1994, the
     Company's net income would have been reduced by approximately
     $400,000.  The Company believes that such modification will not have a
     material adverse effect upon future results of operations.

     Provision for Income Tax
     ------------------------
          The provision for income taxes for both the three and nine months
     ended April 30, 1994 reflects the Company's preliminary assessment
     that the after-tax effect of the Company's settlement with the United
     States and the State of Michigan will be approximately $6.1 million. 
     Excluding the effects of this settlement, the provision for income tax
     as a percentage of income before income tax would have been 34.7% and
     34.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended April 30,
     1994, compared to 33.8% and 32.0% for the three and nine months ended
     April 30, 1993.  In the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
     Income Taxes."  The benefit of adopting this statement for the three
     and nine months ended April 30, 1993 was a decrease in the provision
     for income tax in the amount of $285,000, resulting in a decrease in
     the effective tax rate for that period.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION

          Cash flow provided by operations for the nine months ended April
     30, 1994 was $12,650,000.  These funds, in addition to a portion of
     the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments available at
     the beginning of the current fiscal year, were used principally for
     acquisitions, payment of dividends and debt retirement, which totaled
     $20,649,000 for the period.  For the first nine months of the current
     fiscal year, total net use of cash and cash equivalents was
     $6,637,000, including payment of one-third of the Company's $15
     million settlement with Blue Cross of Michigan.  The remainder of the
     settlement will be paid within the next six months.  In addition,
     during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 the Company will pay
     $7,000,000 in connection with the Company's settlement with of the
     United States and the State of Michigan.  See Note 3 of Notes to
     Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

          From the beginning of the current fiscal year through June 6,
     1994, 16 new stores have been opened or acquired, including 10
     acquired from a drugstore chain in January 1994.  Of the acquired
     stores, one has been consolidated with the operations of an existing
     Company drugstore, a second will be consolidated during the fourth
     quarter of 1994 and the Company is evaluating the possibility of
     consolidating one or more others.  During the third quarter of 1994,
     the Company also sold the prescription files of an underperforming
     drugstore and closed the store.  The Company expects to open or
     acquire two additional stores during the remainder of the current
     fiscal year.

          The Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and
     short-term investments and cash provided from operations, together
     with funds available under a $50 million line of credit, will be
     adequate for the Company's needs during the current fiscal year.
