                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Fisher Scientific International Inc.'s ("Fisher" or the "Company") 
operations are conducted by wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, 
joint ventures, equity interests and agents, located in North and South 
America, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and Africa.  The Company's 
activities relate principally to one business segment -- scientific and 
clinical products.  This includes operations engaged in the supply, 
marketing, service and manufacture of scientific, clinical, educational, 
occupational health and safety products.

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to their 
current presentation.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Effective January 1,1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards Number 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived 
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  The new standard did 
not have any effect on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

     On January 1, 1996, the Company changed its method of accounting for 
substantially all inventories of its newly acquired subsidiary Curtin 
Matheson Scientific Inc. (approximately $84 million) from the first-in, 
first-out (FIFO) method to the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to conform 
CMS's accounting policies with that of Fisher Scientific Company, the 
Company's principal United States operating subsidiary.  The Company believes 
the LIFO method better matches current costs with current selling prices.  
The change did not have a significant effect on the results of operations in 
the first quarter.

     On June 12, 1996, the Company called for redemption of its $125 million 
step-up convertible subordinated notes due 2003, at a price of 103.65% of 
principal, plus accrued interest.  As of June 30, 1996, $121.6 million of the 
convertible notes (97%) were converted into 3,463,154 shares of the Company's 
common stock.  In July the Company redeemed the remaining notes for $3.5 
million plus accrued interest.  The conversion resulted in an increase in 
stockholders' equity and a reduction in long-term debt of approximately 
$125.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

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

     This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of 
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company's actual results could differ materially 
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  Certain factors that 
might cause such a difference include those factors discussed in the section 
entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and 
Financial Condition - Overview" contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the 
year ended December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     SALES

     Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 69% and 
70% to $532.2 million and $1,048.2, respectively, from $314.9 million and 
$618.0 million for the comparable periods in 1995.  The sales increases in 
both periods primarily reflect sales of the laboratory supplies division of 
Fisons plc acquired in October 1995, which consisted of Curtin Matheson 
Scientific Inc. ("CMS") and Fisons Scientific Equipment Ltd. (now named 
Fisher Scientific U.K. Ltd.), as well as growth in Fisher's historical North 
American operations.

      GROSS PROFIT

     Fisher's gross profit for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 
1996 increased 56% and 59% to $142.9 million and $278.5 million, 
respectively, from $91.4 million and $175.3 million for the comparable 
periods in 1995, primarily resulting from the aforementioned sales growth.

     Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 26.6% for the six  
months ended June 30, 1996 from 28.4% for the same period in 1995.  The 
decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales reflects lower gross margins 
associated with the recent acquisition, partially offset by improvements in 
gross margins of Fisher's historical North American operations.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1996 increased 60% and 64% to $119.0 million and $237.4 
million, respectively, from $74.4 million and $144.8 million for the 
comparable periods in 1995.  These costs increased primarily as a result of 
the inclusion of selling, general and administrative expenses of recently 
acquired businesses, nonrecurring costs to integrate CMS into Fisher and 
nonrecurring costs associated with the implementation of the restructuring 
plan that began in the third quarter of 1995.  Certain costs resulting from 
the temporary duplication of operations, relocation of inventories and 
employees, hiring and training new employees, and other one-time and 
redundant costs, which should be eliminated as the restructuring plan is 
fully implemented, are recognized as incurred.  For the 






                                       9
<PAGE>


three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, approximately $5.3 million 
and $10.8 million, respectively, of such costs have been recorded, of which 
$5.3 million and $10.2 million, respectively, are included in selling, 
general and administrative expense.

     Operations outside of the United States continue to have significantly 
higher selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales 
as compared with that of Fisher's domestic operations.  These higher costs 
primarily reflect investments in the development of an integrated worldwide 
supply capability and the fact that international operations have not yet 
achieved the benefits associated with such integrated worldwide supply 
capability.

     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     Income from operations for the three and six month periods ended June 
30, 1996 increased by 41% and 35% to $23.9 million and $41.1 million, 
respectively, as compared with $17.0 million and $30.5 million for the 
corresponding periods in 1995. These increases reflect the factors described 
above.  Income from operations as a percent of sales decreased to 3.9% for 
the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with 4.9% for the same period in 
1995.  This decrease in percentage primarily reflects the decrease in gross 
profit as a percent of sales as well as the inclusion of nonrecurring costs 
in selling, general and administrative expense, both described above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 
increased to $7.8 million and $16.4 million, respectively from $2.5 million 
and $4.8 million for the comparable periods in 1995.  The increases 
principally reflect interest related to borrowings used to finance the 
acquisition of the laboratory supplies division of Fisons plc in the fourth 
quarter of 1995.

                                                                              
     INCOME TAX PROVISION

     The income tax provision for the three and six month periods ended June 
30, 1996 increased to $7.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively, as 
compared with $6.1 million and $10.6 million for the corresponding periods in 
1995.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1996 
increased to 45% compared with 38% for the same period in 1995 as the prior 
period's rate reflected the benefit of certain domestic net operating loss 
carryforwards.

     NET INCOME

     Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased to 
$8.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively, from $10.2 million and $17.0 
million for the comparable periods in 1995 due to the factors discussed above.




                                       10

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's operations 
provided $4.0 million of cash compared with using $3.5 million for the same 
period in 1995.  This $7.5 million increase in cash flow from operations 
primarily resulted from an increase in net income adjusted for depreciation 
and amortization.  The Company's operating working capital (defined as trade 
receivables plus inventories less accounts payable and accrued liabilities) 
increased to $196.3 million at June 30, 1996 from $162.1 million at December 
31, 1995.  The increase in operating working capital is primarily due to 
decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  Changes in account 
payables and accruals are principally attributable to payments of previously 
accrued restructuring and integration amounts, payments of accrued 
compensation and benefit amounts, and timing of payments of other previously 
accrued amounts.

     The Company's current ratio, the ratio of current assets to current 
liabilities, was 1.8 at June 30, 1996, compared with 1.7 at December 31, 
1995.  Excluding the effect, if any, of future acquisitions, the Company's 
operating working capital requirements are not anticipated to increase 
substantially throughout the remainder of 1996.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company used $16.7 
million of cash for investing activities compared with $13.7 million for the 
same period in 1995.  The increase in cash used for investing activities is 
primarily due to a decrease in cash provided by proceeds from sales of 
marketable securities, partially offset by a reduction in cash used for 
acquisitions.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company 
had capital expenditures of $11.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively, 
reflecting capital expenditures associated with the consolidation and 
relocation of logistical and administrative functions.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's financing 
activities used $34.3 million compared with providing $1.2 million for the 
same period in 1995.  This change is primarily due to $38.0 million in 
prepayments of the Company's bank term debt. The Company may continue to 
prepay this debt to the extent of its surplus cash.

     On June 12, 1996, the Company called for redemption of its $125 million 
step-up convertible subordinated notes due 2003, at a price of 103.65% of 
principal, plus accrued interest.  As of June 30, 1996, $121.6 million of the 
convertible notes (97%) were converted into 3,463,154 shares of the Company's 
common stock.  In July the Company redeemed the remaining notes for $3.5 
million plus accrued interest.  The conversion resulted in an increase in 
stockholders' equity and a reduction in long-term debt of  approximately 
$125.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Fisher expects that cash flows from operations, together with cash and 
cash equivalents on hand and funds available under existing credit 
facilities, will be sufficient to meet ongoing operating and capital 
expenditure requirements.

     On June 12, 1996, Fisher's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash 
dividend of $.02 per share, payable July 12, 1996 to shareholders of record 
June 27, 1996.  The Company plans to continue paying regular quarterly 
dividends, which will be funded by cash generated from operations.  No 
dividend will be payable unless declared by the Fisher Board of Directors and 
funds are legally available for payment of a dividend.
