                       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, 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.


3.    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

           Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128")
      "Earnings per share," was issued in February 1997. Adoption of SFAS 128,
      effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997, is not expected to
      have an effect on reported earnings.

                    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 $238.4 million and $713.7 million for the three and
      nine months ended April 30, 1997, respectively, an increase of 14.5
      percent and 16.3 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 7.8 percent and 9.6 percent
      for the three and nine months ended April 30, 1997, respectively, and
      sales made by stores opened in the last 12 months.  As of April 30, 1997,
      the Company operated 194 stores, compared to 177 stores as of April 30,
      1996, and 182 stores as of July 31, 1996.

           Prescription drug sales were $130.1 million and $377.4 million for
      the three and nine months ended April 30, 1997, respectively, an increase
      of 19.1 percent and 21.4 percent, respectively,  over the comparable
      periods of the prior year. Prescription drug sales represented 54.6
      percent and 52.9 percent of total sales for the three and nine months
      ended April 30, 1997, respectively,  compared to 52.4 percent and 50.7
      percent for the three and nine months ended April 30, 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 74.6 percent and 74.3 percent of net sales
      for the three and nine  months ended April 30, 1997, respectively,
      compared to 74.3 percent and 74.0 percent, respectively, for the three
      and nine months ended April 30, 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 20.6 percent and 20.4 percent for
      the three and nine months ended April 30, 1997, respectively, compared to
      21.3 percent and 21.0 percent, respectively, for the three and nine
      months ended April 30, 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 33.6 percent and 33.7 percent, respectively, for the three and nine months
ended April 30, 1997, compared to 34.4 percent for the three and nine months
ended April 30, 1996. The decreases were attributable to differences in
determining income for income taxes versus financial statement income.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                                       

     For the nine months ended April 30, 1997, net cash was provided by
operations ($24.4 million) and through the exercise of stock options and
employee stock purchase plan purchases ($17.2 million). Cash was principally
used for capital expenditures and acquisitions ($23.1 million), cash dividends
($6.4 million), principal payments on debt ($5.3 million), and for the purchase
of short-term investments ($4.4 million). In the aggregate, the Company's net
cash increased by $2.3 million.

     Included in the $5.3 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
new Arbor drugstores in fiscal 1997 through the leasing and development of new
sites and, if suitable opportunities arise, acquisitions.  As of April 30,
1997, 12 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 April 30, 1997, the Company had no outstanding borrowings against its
line  of credit.
