HENRY SCHEIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT EMPLOYEE AND PER SHARE DATA) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Henry Schein, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. These consolidated financial statements are condensed and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2001. The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 29, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2002 or any other period. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. NOTE 2. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations ("FAS 141"), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("FAS 142"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new standards, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with FAS 142. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company adopted the new standards beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Effective with the adoption of FAS 142, goodwill, which is substantially related to the healthcare distribution segment, is no longer amortized but is instead subject to an annual impairment test. The Company has reassessed the estimated useful lives of its intangible assets, which primarily consist of non-compete agreements, and no changes have been deemed necessary. The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test in connection with the adoption of FAS 142 during the second quarter of fiscal 2002, and has determined that there is no impairment as of the adoption date, December 30, 2001. 6

In addition to closing or downsizing certain facilities, this world-wide initiative included the elimination of approximately 300 positions, including open positions, or about 5% of the total workforce, throughout all levels within the organization. The restructuring plan was substantially completed at December 30, 2000.

HENRY SCHEIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT EMPLOYEE AND PER SHARE DATA) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 5. SEGMENT DATA The Company has two reportable segments: healthcare distribution and technology. The healthcare distribution segment, which is comprised of the Company's dental, medical and international business groups, distributes healthcare products (primarily consumable) and services to office-based healthcare practitioners and professionals in the combined North American and international markets. Products, which are similar for each business group, are maintained and distributed from strategically located distribution centers. The technology segment consists primarily of the Company's practice management software business and certain other value-added products and services that are distributed primarily to healthcare professionals in the North American market. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services, albeit to the same customer base. Most of the technology business was acquired as a unit, and the management at the time of acquisition was retained.

Options to purchase approximately 16 and 1,535 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $45.96 to $49.85 and $34.52 to $46.00 per share, which were outstanding during the six months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. In each of the respective periods, the options' exercise prices exceeded the fair market value of the Company's common stock. 10

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 Net sales increased $65.1 million, or 10.7%, to $671.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 from $606.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Of the $65.1 million increase, approximately $64.1 million, or 98.5%, represented a 10.8% increase in the Company's healthcare distribution business. As part of this increase approximately $26.9 million represented a 12.5% increase in the Company's medical business, $26.1 million represented a 9.3% increase in its dental business, and $11.1 million represented an 11.5% increase in its international business. The increase in medical net sales was primarily attributable to increased sales to core physicians' office and alternate care markets. In the dental market, the increase in net sales was primarily due to increased account penetration. In the international market, the increase in net sales was primarily due to increased account penetration in Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, and France, and to favorable exchange rates to the U.S. dollar. Had net sales for the international market been translated at the same rates as 2001, international net sales would have increased by 7.5%. The remaining increase in second quarter 2002 net sales was due to the technology business, which increased $1.0 million, or 7.1%, to $15.7 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002, from $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in technology and value-added product net sales was primarily due to increased sales of practice management software products and related services. Gross profit increased by $25.5 million, or 15.3%, to $192.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 from $166.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Gross profit margin increased 1.2% to 28.7% from 27.5% for the same period last year. Healthcare distribution gross profit increased $23.9 million, or 15.3%, to $180.5 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 from $156.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to sales volume. Healthcare distribution gross profit margin increased by 1.0% to 27.5% for the three months ended June 29, 2002 from 26.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to changes in sales mix and purchasing efficiencies. Technology gross profit increased by $1.6 million or 15.5% to $11.9 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 from $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 primarily due to sales volume and sales of higher margin items. Technology gross profit margins increased by 5.2% to 75.6% for three months ended June 29, 2002 from 70.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to changes in sales mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $13.8 million, or 10.5%, to $145.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 from $131.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Selling and shipping expenses increased by $8.9 million, or 10.9%, to $90.6 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 from $81.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, selling and shipping expenses remained constant at 13.5% for the three months ended June 29, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million, or 9.8%, to $54.8 million for the three months ended June 29, 2002 from $49.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses remained constant at 8.2% for the three months ended June 29, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. 11

Other income (expense) - net increased by $0.1 million, to $(1.2) million for the three months ended June 29, 2002, compared to $(1.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, due primarily to lower interest income reduced by lower interest expense and foreign currency gains. Equity in earnings of affiliates was substantially unchanged from the prior period. For the three months ended June 29, 2002, the Company's effective tax rate was 37.1%. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's effective tax rate was 37.0%. The difference between the Company's effective tax rates and the Federal statutory rate relates primarily to state income taxes. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 Net sales increased $118.3 million, or 9.9%, to $1,318.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from $1,200.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Of the $118.3 million increase, approximately $116.0 million, or 98.1%, represented a 9.9% increase in the Company's healthcare distribution business. As part of this increase approximately $52.2 million represented a 9.5% increase in its dental business, $49.7 million represented an 11.7% increase in the Company's medical business, and $14.1 million represented a 7.1% increase in its international business. In the dental market, the increase in net sales was primarily due to increased account penetration. The increase in medical net sales was primarily attributable to increased sales to core physicians' office and alternate care markets. In the international market, the increase in net sales was primarily due to increased account penetration in Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, and France. Had net sales for the international market been translated at the same rates as 2001, international net sales would have increased by 6.8%. The remaining increase in 2002 net sales was due to the technology business, which increased $2.3 million, or 8.2%, to $30.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002, from $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in technology and value-added product net sales was primarily due to increased practice management software products and related services. Gross profit increased by $44.6 million, or 13.7%, to $370.8 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from $326.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Gross profit margin increased 0.9% to 28.1% from 27.2% for the same period last year. Healthcare distribution gross profit increased $42.1 million, or 13.8%, to $348.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from $305.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to sales volume. Healthcare distribution gross profit margin increased by 0.9% to 27.0% for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from 26.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to changes in sales mix and purchasing efficiencies. Technology gross profit increased by $2.5 million or 12.3% to $22.8 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 primarily due to sales volume and sales of higher margin items. Technology gross profit margins increased by 2.6% to 75.4% for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from 72.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to changes in sales mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $25.2 million, or 9.6%, to $288.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from $263.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Selling and shipping expenses increased by $19.4 million, or 12.2%, to $178.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from $159.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to sales 12

volume. As a percentage of net sales, selling and shipping expenses increased 0.3% to 13.6% for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from 13.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses increased $5.8 million, or 5.6%, to $109.9 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from $104.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased 0.4% to 8.3% for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from 8.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Other income (expense) - net decreased by $1.4 million, to $(4.1) million for the six months ended June 29, 2002, compared to $(5.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, due primarily to lower interest expense and increased interest income. Equity in earnings of affiliates was substantially unchanged from the prior period. For the six months ended June 29, 2002, the Company's effective tax rate was 37.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's effective tax rate was 37.0%. The difference between the Company's effective tax rates and the Federal statutory rate relates primarily to state income taxes. SEASONALITY The Company's business is subject to seasonal and other quarterly influences. Net sales and operating profits are generally higher in the fourth quarter due to timing of sales of software and equipment, year-end promotions and purchasing patterns of office-based healthcare practitioners and are generally lower in the first quarter due primarily to the increased purchases in the prior quarter. Quarterly results also may be materially affected by a variety of other factors, including the timing of acquisitions and related costs, timing of purchases, special promotional campaigns, seasonal products, fluctuations in exchange rates associated with international operations and adverse weather conditions. E-COMMERCE Traditional healthcare supply and distribution relationships are being challenged by electronic on-line commerce solutions. The Company's distribution business is characterized by rapid technological developments and intense competition. The rapid evolution of on-line commerce will require continuous improvement in performance, features and reliability of Internet content and technology by the Company, particularly in response to competitive offerings. Through the Company's proprietary technologically based suite of products, customers are offered a variety of competitive alternatives. The Company's tradition of reliable service, proven name recognition, and large customer base built on solid customer relationships makes it well situated to participate fully in this rapidly growing aspect of the distribution business. The Company is exploring ways and means of improving and expanding its Internet presence and will continue to do so. INFLATION Management does not believe inflation had a material adverse effect on the financial statements for the periods presented. 13

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal capital requirements have been to fund (a) working capital needs resulting from increased sales, and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities, (b) acquisitions, and (c) capital expenditures. Since sales tend to be strongest during the fourth quarter and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities are most prevalent just before the end of the year, the Company's working capital requirements have been generally higher from the end of the third quarter to the end of the first quarter of the following year. The Company has financed its business primarily through operations, its revolving credit facilities, private placement loans and stock issuances. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2002 of $13.4 million resulted primarily from net income of $47.8 million and non-cash charges of approximately $15.0 million, offset by a net increase of cash used in operating items of working capital of approximately $49.4 million. The increase in working capital needs was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accruals of $31.0 million, a $17.8 million increase in inventory, due primarily to stocking of the Company's newly opened distribution center, and a $4.7 million increase in other current assets, partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in accounts receivable. The Company's accounts receivable days sales outstanding ratio improved to 49.96 days for the six months ended June 29, 2002 from 55.60 days for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company's inventory turns were 6.32 turns for the six months ended June 29, 2002 compared to 6.48 turns for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company anticipates future increases in working capital requirements as a result of its continued sales growth and special inventory forward buy-in opportunities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 29, 2002 of $84.2 million resulted primarily from cash used for business acquisition related payments of $34.9 million, of which $27.4 million represented contingent earnout payments associated with an acquisition made in a prior year, capital expenditures of $28.1 million, of which approximately $11.6 million was for the purchase of a building used for the Company's corporate headquarters, and the purchases of United States government and agency bonds rated AAA by Moody's (or an equivalent rating) and commercial paper rated P-1 by Moody's (or an equivalent rating) with maturities of more than three months of $20.6 million. The Company expects that it will invest more than $50.0 million during the year ending December 28, 2002 in capital projects to modernize and expand facilities, on computer infrastructure systems and to integrate operations. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 29, 2002 of $12.0 million resulted primarily from proceeds from the issuance of stock upon exercise of stock options of $26.5 million, offset primarily by debt repayments of $14.5 million. Certain holders of minority interests in acquired entities or ventures have the right at certain times to require the Company to acquire their interest at either fair market value or a formula price based on earnings of the entity. The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of June 29, 2002 of $132.5 million consist of bank balances and investments in money market funds. These investments have staggered maturity dates, none of which exceed three months, and have a high degree of liquidity since the securities are actively traded in public markets. 14

On May 2, 2002, the Company renewed and increased its revolving credit facility to $200.0 million from $150.0 million. The new facility is a four year committed line. As of June 29, 2002, none of the credit facility was utilized. The Company also has one uncommitted bank line of $15.0 million, none of which had been borrowed at June 29, 2002. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have revolving credit facilities that total approximately $45.8 million at June 29, 2002, under which $3.9 million had been borrowed. On June 30, 1999 and September 25, 1998, the Company completed private placement transactions under which it issued $130.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, in Senior Notes. The $130.0 million notes come due on June 30, 2009 and bear interest at a rate of 6.94% per annum. Principal payments totaling $20.0 million are due annually starting September 25, 2006 on the $100.0 million notes and bear interest at a rate of 6.66% per annum. Interest on both notes is payable semi-annually. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents of $132.5 million and its investment in marketable securities as of June 29, 2002, its ability to access public and private debt and equity markets, and the availability of funds under its existing credit agreements will provide it with sufficient liquidity to meet its currently foreseeable short-term and long-term capital needs. 15

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There were no material changes to the disclosures made in our report 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2001, on this matter. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. Certain information in this Form 10-Q contains information that is forward-looking, such as the Company's opportunities to increase sales through, among other things, acquisitions; its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies; its anticipated liquidity and capital requirements; competitive product and pricing pressures and the ability to gain or maintain share of sales in global markets as a result of actions by competitors; and the results of legal proceedings. The matters referred to in forward-looking statements could be affected by the risks and uncertainties involved in the Company's business. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the effect of economic and market conditions, the impact of the consolidation of health care practitioners, the impact of health care reform, opportunities for acquisitions and the Company's ability to effectively integrate acquired companies, the acceptance and quality of software products, acceptance and ability to manage operations in foreign markets, the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships, possible disruptions in the Company's computer systems or telephone systems, possible increases in shipping rates or interruptions in shipping service, the level and volatility of interest rates and currency values, economic and political conditions in international markets, including civil unrest, government changes and restrictions on the ability to transfer capital across borders, the impact of current or pending legislation, regulation and changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements, environmental laws in domestic and foreign jurisdictions, as well as certain other risks described in this Form 10-Q. Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph and elsewhere described in this Form 10-Q. 16

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company's business involves a risk of product liability claims and other claims in the ordinary course of business, and from time to time the Company is named as a defendant in cases as a result of its distribution of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products. As of June 29, 2002, the Company was named a defendant in approximately 75 product liability cases. Of these claims, 60 involve claims made by healthcare workers who claim allergic reaction relating to exposure to latex gloves. In each of these cases, the Company acted as a distributor of both brand name and "Henry Schein" private brand latex gloves, which were manufactured by third parties. To date, discovery in these cases has generally been limited to product identification issues. The manufacturers in these cases have withheld indemnification of the Company pending product identification; however, the Company is taking steps to implead those manufacturers into each case in which the Company is a defendant. The Company is also a named defendant in nine lawsuits involving the sale of phentermine and fenfluramin. Plaintiffs in the cases allege injuries from the combined use of the drugs known as "Phen/fen." The Company expects to obtain indemnification from the manufacturers of these products, although this is dependent upon, among other things, the financial viability of the manufacturer and their insurers. On January 27, 1998, in District Court in Travis County, Texas, the Company and one of its subsidiaries were named as defendants in a matter entitled Shelly E. Stromboe & Jeanne N. Taylor, on Behalf of Themselves and All Other Similarly Situated vs. Henry Schein, Inc., Easy Dental Systems, Inc. and Dentisoft, Inc., Case No. 98-00886. This complaint alleges among other things, negligence, breach of contract, fraud and violations of certain Texas commercial statutes involving the sale of certain practice management software products sold prior to 1998 under the Easy Dental(R) name. In October 1999, the Court, on motion, certified both a Windows(R) Sub-Class and a DOS Sub-Class to proceed as a class action pursuant to Tex. R.Civ. P.42. It is estimated that 5,000 Windows(R) customers and 15,000 DOS customers could be covered by the judge's ruling. In November of 1999, the Company filed an interlocutory appeal of the District Court's determination to the Texas Court of Appeals on the issue of whether this case was properly certified as a class action. On September 14, 2000, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's certification order. On January 5, 2001, the Company filed a Petition for Review in the Texas Supreme Court asking this court to find "conflicts jurisdiction" to permit review of the District Court's certification order, which appeal is now pending. On April 5, 2001 the Texas Supreme Court requested that the parties file briefs on the merits. On August 23, 2001, the Texas Supreme Court dismissed the Company's Petition for Review based on lack of conflicts jurisdiction. The Company filed a motion for rehearing on September 24, 2001 requesting that the Texas Supreme Court reconsider and reverse its finding that it is without conflicts jurisdiction to review the case. On November 8, 2001, the Texas Supreme Court granted the motion for rehearing and withdrew its order of August 23, 2001. The Texas Supreme Court heard oral argument on February 6, 2002. Pending a decision by the Supreme Court on the Petition for Review, a trial on the merits will be stayed. Because procedural issues relating to the propriety of class certification remain to be determined, because the class representatives have not pleaded damage amounts with specificity, and because each purported class member's damages, if any, may vary, and other factors, it is not possible to determine the possible range of damages or other relief sought by the plaintiffs in the event the class certification is upheld and the case proceeds to trial as a class action. 17

In February 2002, the Company was served with a summons and complaint in an action commenced in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Morris County, entitled West Morris Pediatrics, P.A. vs. Henry Schein, Inc., doing business as Caligor, no. MRSL-421-02. The complaint by West Morris Pediatrics purports to be on behalf of a nationwide class, but there has been no court determination that the case may proceed as a class action. Plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers throughout New Jersey and across the United States. This complaint alleges, among other things, breach of oral contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, unjust enrichment, and conversion relating to sales of a vaccine product in the years 2001 and 2002. The Company's time to file an answer has been extended until September 1, 2002. Because damages have not been specified by the plaintiffs, it is not possible to determine the range of damages or other relief sought by the plaintiffs. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim, as well as all other claims, suits and complaints. The Company has various insurance policies, including product liability insurance, covering risks and in amounts it considers adequate. In many cases in which the Company has been sued in connection with products manufactured by others, the Company is provided indemnification by the manufacturer. There can be no assurance that the coverage maintained by the Company is sufficient or will be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost, or that indemnification agreements will provide adequate protection for the Company. In the opinion of the Company, all pending matters are covered by insurance or will not otherwise seriously harm the Company's financial condition. 18
