              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 January 31, 1997, 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.

              On November 19, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a 3 for 2
         stock split which was  effected in the form of a dividend paid on
         December 17, 1996.  Accordingly, all per share and stock amounts have
         been restated to reflect this dividend.


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.

                    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 $250.3 million and $475.3 million for the three
         and six months ended January 31, 1997, respectively, an increase of
         16.7 percent and 17.3 percent, respectively, over the comparable
         periods of the prior year.  The increases reflect an increase in
         comparable store sales (stores open for  one year or more) of 10.0
         percent and 10.5 percent for the three and six months ended January
         31, 1997, respectively, and sales made by stores opened in the last 12
         months.  As of January 31, 1997, the Company operated 191 stores,
         compared to 174 stores as of January 31, 1996, and 182 stores as of
         July 31, 1996.

              Prescription drug sales were $127.5 million and $247.3 million
         for the three and six months ended January 31, 1997, respectively, an
         increase of 21.5 percent and 22.6 percent, respectively,  over the
         comparable periods of the prior year.    Prescription drug sales
         represented 50.9 percent and 52.0 percent of total sales for the three
         and six months ended January 31, 1997, respectively,  compared to 48.9
         percent and 49.8 percent for the three and six months ended January
         31, 1996. 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 74.1 percent and 74.2 percent of net
         sales for the three and six  months ended January 31, 1997,
         respectively,  compared to 73.8 percent and 73.9 percent,
         respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 1996.
         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 19.4 percent and 20.3 percent for
         the three and six months ended January 31, 1997, respectively,
         compared to 20.0 percent and 20.8 percent, respectively, for the three
         and six months ended January 31, 1996. The decreases were 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 33.4 percent and 33.8 percent, respectively, for the
         three and six months ended January 31, 1997, compared to 34.5 percent
         and 34.3 percent, respectively, for the three and six months ended
         January 31, 1996. The decreases were attributable to differences in
         determining income for income taxes versus financial statement income.


         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

              For the six months ended January 31, 1997, net cash was provided
         by operations ($10.0 million)  and through the exercise of stock
         options and employee stock purchase plan purchases ($16.1 million).
         Cash was principally used for capital expenditures and acquisitions
         ($18.3 million), principal payments on debt ($5.2 million) and cash
         dividends ($4.1 million). In the aggregate, the Company's net cash
         decreased by $1.0 million.

              Included in the $5.2 million of principal payments on debt is
         $4.5 million of payments made in advance of maturity dates to take
         advantage of favorable interest rate spreads.

              The Company anticipates fiscal 1997 capital expenditures to total
         approximately $28 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 18 to 20 new Arbor drugstores in fiscal 1997 through the
         leasing and development of new sites and, if suitable opportunities
         arise, acquisitions.  As of January 31, 1997, 9 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 January 31, 1997, the Company had
         no outstanding borrowings against its line  of credit.
