                       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 October 31, 1996, 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, 1996.  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, and is adjusted for the
         results of physical inventories when taken.


3.       STOCK SPLIT

              On November 19, 1996, Arbor announced a 3-for-2 stock split to be
         effected in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend.  The new
         shares will be distributed on December 17, 1996 to shareholders of
         record as of December 3, 1996. After effecting the stock split,
         earnings per share for the three months ending October 31, 1996 would
         be $.17 on a primary basis and $.16 on a fully diluted basis and
         earnings per share for the three months ending October 31, 1995 would
         be $.14 on a primary basis and $.13 on a fully diluted basis.

                    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 reached $225.0 million for the three months ended
         October 31, 1996, an increase of 18.0 percent over the three months
         ended October 31, 1995.  The increase reflects an increase in
         comparable store sales (stores open for  one year or more) of 11.0
         percent and sales made by stores opened in the last 12 months.  As of
         October 31, 1996, the Company operated 188 stores, compared to 172
         stores as of October 31, 1995, and 182 stores as of July 31, 1996.

              Prescription drug sales were $119.9 million for the three months
         ended October 31, 1996,  an increase of 23.8 percent over the three
         months ended October 31, 1995, accounting for  53.3 percent of total
         sales for the three months ended October 31, 1996,  compared to 50.8
         percent for the three months ended October 31, 1995. The increases, in
         both absolute amount and relative contribution, were primarily
         attributable to the larger store base, a greater number of
         prescriptions filled on a comparable-store basis and an increase in
         the average prescription price.  The latter reflected price increases
         for certain existing brand name drugs and the introduction of new
         brand name drugs, offset in part by the lower prices of generic drugs,
         which are marketed as the corresponding brand name drugs lose patent
         protection.


         COST OF SALES
                     

              Cost of sales represented 74.4 percent of net sales for the three
         months ended October 31, 1996, compared to 74.1 percent for the three
         months ended October 31, 1995.  Generally, the increases reflect
         rising pharmaceutical product costs and gross margin percentage
         pressure due to the reimbursement practices of the Company's
         third-party providers. Third-party providers generally pay the Company
         an amount determined by formula to reimburse it for the cost of the
         prescription drugs dispensed plus a fixed dispensing fee to compensate
         it for the services rendered. As pharmaceutical costs increase, the
         gross margin percentage on such sales decreases because the dispensing
         fee remains the same pursuant to the applicable third-party program.
         Changes in the reimbursement formulas of the various third-party
         providers with which the Company has contracts may also affect the
         Company's gross margin and operating income.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
                                                   

              Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a
         percentage of net sales, amounted to 21.3 percent for the three months
         ended October 31, 1996, compared to 21.8 percent for the three months
         ended October 31, 1995. The decrease was primarily attributable to the
         Company's efforts to control expenses and by the higher level of net
         sales.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX

              The provision for income tax as a percentage of income before
         income tax was 34.5 percent for the three months ended October 31,
         1996, compared to 34.0 percent for the three months ended October 31,
         1995.


         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                                       

              For the three months ended October 31, 1996, net cash was
         provided by operations ($6.0 million) and through the exercise of
         stock options and employee stock purchase plan purchases ($5.1
         million). Cash was principally used for capital expenditures and
         acquisitions ($12.2 million), purchase of short-term investments ($2.6
         million), cash dividends ($1.8 million) and principal payments on debt
         ($.6 million).  In the aggregate, the Company's net cash decreased by
         $6.1 million.

              The Company anticipates fiscal 1997 capital expenditures to
         total approximately $25 million. The funds will be used to open new
         stores, remodel existing stores and invest in retailing systems.
              The Company's current expansion plan contemplates adding
         approximately 15  to 20 new Arbor drugstores in fiscal 1997 through
         the leasing and development of new sites and, if suitable
         opportunities arise, acquisitions.  As of October 31, 1996, 6 new
         stores have been opened during the current fiscal year.

              The Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and
         short-term investments, cash provided from future operations and funds
         available under a $50 million line of credit will support anticipated
         expansion and working capital needs arising in the ordinary course of
         business during fiscal 1997.  As of October 31, 1996, the Company had
         outstanding borrowings against its line  of credit aggregating $1.5
         million.
