1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of Footstar, Inc. (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999 and the results of
operations for the three- and six-month periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3,
1999, respectively, and cash flows for the six months ended July 1, 2000 and
July 3, 1999, respectively. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Because of the seasonality of the specialty retailing
business, operating results of the Company on a quarterly basis may not be
indicative of operating results for the full year or any other period. The
consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements of the Company included in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Acquisition of Just For Feet

On March 7, 2000 the Company acquired certain assets of Just For Feet, Inc. and
its subsidiaries, which had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
November 4, 1999. Just For Feet is the leading operator of large-format
superstores which specialize in brand-name athletic outdoor footwear and
apparel. The assets purchased by the Company included 3 Just For Feet
superstores, 76 Just For Feet superstore leases, 23 specialty store leases, the
Just For Feet name, the Internet business and the corporate headquarters
building located in Birmingham, Alabama. The net cash consideration paid for the
assets was $64.2 million.

The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
for business combinations. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
include the results of operations of Just For Feet from the acquisition date.
The results of operations generated from the assets acquired have been added to
those of Footaction and reported as Footstar's athletic segment. The purchase
price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, tangible and
intangible. The acquired assets and liabilities assumed were predominantly
inventories, fixed assets and lease obligations. Based on

                     ($ in millions, except per share data)

preliminary purchase price allocations, the excess of the fair market value of
the net assets acquired over the purchase price amounting to approximately $38.7
million was deducted from the book values of the non-current, non-monetary
assets acquired. Adjustments to the purchase price during the second quarter
resulted principally from the appraisals of favorable leases performed
subsequent to the purchase. Additional adjustments to the purchase price
allocation may result from the completion of an appraisal of the acquired
assets, which is currently in progress.

Unaudited Just For Feet pro forma net sales and Footstar pro forma consolidated
net sales for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 1, 2000 and July
3, 1999, respectively assuming Just For Feet assets were acquired as of January
3, 1999 are as follows:

Pro forma net income and earnings per share data have not been disclosed since
the Company is unable to avoid the use of forward-looking information and
assumptions in order to meaningfully present the effect of the acquisition on
the Company's operations. The Just For Feet historical results for the six
months ended July 1, 2000 include the effects of transactions and estimates
which are related either directly or indirectly, to Just For Feet Inc.'s
liquidation proceedings under Chapter 7. As such, the Company cannot accurately
determine the operating results that would have resulted had the liquidation
process not been initiated and had the assets been acquired by the Company
effective January 1, 2000.

The pro forma sales results for the periods presented include actual Footstar
results beginning March 7, 2000. For the same reasons expressed above, the pro
forma sales are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company had the
Just For Feet, Inc. assets been acquired at the beginning of the periods
presented, and they are not necessarily indicative of sales in future periods.

4. Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income ("SFAS No.130") requires that items defined as other comprehensive
income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, be separately
classified in the financial statements and that the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income be reported separately from retained earnings and
additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. The
components of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended July 1,
2000 and July 3, 1999 are as follows:

                       Independent Auditors' Review Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Footstar, Inc.

We have reviewed the consolidated condensed balance sheet of Footstar, Inc. and
subsidiary companies as of July 1, 2000 and the related consolidated condensed
statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2000
and July 3, 1999, respectively and cash flows for the six-month periods ended
July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, respectively. These consolidated condensed
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated condensed financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Footstar, Inc. and subsidiary
companies as of January 1, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for
the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 8,
2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated condensed balance sheet as of January 1, 2000, is fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which
it has been derived.

                                                                   /S/ KPMG LLP

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter ended July 1, 2000, were $589.4
million, an increase of 23.1% from net sales of $479.0 million for the same
period of 1999. Same store sales for the three-month period increased 5.9%
compared to the second quarter of 1999. Meldisco posted an 8.5% increase in
sales over last year, partly as a result of the shift in Easter sales from the
first quarter of 1999 to the second quarter of 2000. Second quarter 2000 sales
in the athletic segment increased 55.0% over the same period of 1999, largely
due to additional sales generated by the acquired Just For Feet assets, plus a
3.1% increase in Footaction same store sales. This increase was driven by the
strong performance of Men's footwear, led by higher sales of basketball and
running product.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2000, as a percent of net sales,
increased 30 basis points from the corresponding prior-year period. This
increase is primarily attributable to higher cost of sales contributed by Just
For Feet in the athletic segment, due to higher occupancy expenses, higher
markdowns and reduced sales leverage.

Cost of sales for the six months ended July 1, 2000, as a percent of net sales,
decreased by 30 basis points from the comparable 1999 period. Meldisco achieved
an increase in gross margin primarily due to a decrease in markdowns.

Store Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Store operating, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a
percent of net sales, for the second quarter ended July 1, 2000 increased 130
basis points as compared to the same prior-year period. The increase was
primarily due to expenses incurred to restart and run the Just For Feet business
and $1.5 million in one time costs related to the integration of the Just For
Feet business. Meldisco's SG&A, as a percent of net sales, decreased during the
period as a result of the improved leverage of fixed costs due to increasing
same store sales. SG&A expenses, as a percent of sales, for the six months ended
July 1, 2000 were 140 basis points higher than the comparable 1999 period.
Meldisco's SG&A rate decreased during the first six months, while the athletic

costs and one time costs associated with the Just For Feet acquisition and
integration.

Operating profit, as a percent of net sales, for the second quarter ended July
1, 2000, decreased 160 basis points over the same period of 1999. Meldisco's
operating profit as a percent of net sales increased by 70 basis points due to
improved gross margins. The athletic segment's operating profit decreased due to
increased markdowns, the underabsorption of fixed costs and start up costs
related to the Just For Feet business.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Footstar's quarter-end inventories increased by 28% versus the same quarter of
1999, primarily as a result of the addition of inventory to support the Just For
Feet chain. The increase in inventories generated a corresponding increase in
accounts payable at quarter-end.

In addition to inventories, the majority of the Just For Feet acquired assets
represent fixed assets which have been classified within property and equipment,
net, favorable leases classified within goodwill, deferred charges and other
noncurrent assets and unfavorable leases classified within other long-term
liabilities.

As of July 1, 2000, the Company had $140.8 million in borrowings, classified as
notes payable. Effective May 25, 2000, the Company entered into a new $325
million 3-year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a
syndicate of banks led by Fleet National Bank. The Credit Facility contains
various operating covenants, which, among other things, impose certain
limitations on the Company's ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, merge,
consolidate, make capital expenditures or declare and make dividend payments.
Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with financial
covenants relating to debt and interest coverage. At the end of the quarter, the
Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Effective June 1, 2000 the Company entered into a 10-year, $35 million Master
Lease Agreement with General Electric Credit Corp. to be utilized beginning
January 1, 2001. Under the terms of this facility the Company may lease
materials handling equipment and furniture, fixtures and equipment for related
stores.

The Company's businesses are seasonal in nature. Peak selling periods coincide
with Christmas, the Easter holiday and the back-to-school selling seasons.
Working capital requirements vary with seasonal business volume and inventory
buildups occurring prior to the peak periods. The Company expects that its
current cash, together with cash generated from operations and credit
facilities, will be sufficient to fund its expected operating expenses, working
capital needs, capital expenditures, and projected growth for the foreseeable
future. The Company believes its current borrowing capacity will allow it to
take advantage of growth and investment opportunities.

The Company expects that it will retain all available funds for the operation
and expansion of its business and to fund future share repurchases, and does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends to shareholders in the foreseeable future.
Under its arrangement with Kmart, Meldisco will distribute annually to Kmart, a
portion of profits representing Kmart's minority interest in Meldisco
subsidiaries. At the beginning of the second fiscal quarter, the Company
distributed $44.4 million representing Kmart's normal dividend for their
minority interest on net income for fiscal year 1999.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended July 1, 2000 were $12.1 million.
Total capital expenditures for the entire 2000 fiscal year are estimated to be
$60-$65 million, which includes approximately $19 million to purchase the
corporate headquarters building located in Mahwah, New Jersey. Capital
expenditures during the second quarter related primarily to the Company's
continuing investment in information systems and the opening, relocating or
remodeling of Footaction and Just For Feet stores.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

assets or liabilities nor is it materially exposed to changes in the value of
expected foreign currency cashflows. Therefore, the Company has not engaged in
the purchase or sale of any derivative instruments.

Interest Rates

The Company's investment and debt portfolios are short-term, seasonal in nature.
The Company's investment portfolio consists of highly rated short-term
marketable securities with peak amounts coinciding with the year-end peak
selling season. The Company, from time to time, undertakes short-term borrowings
to finance working capital. The Company's peak borrowing periods coincide with
peak inventory purchases.

Foreign Exchange

The Company exited its Meldisco's European business in 1999. Translating the
income statements of these operations for the effects of foreign currency
changes does not have a material impact on the Company's financial positions.
The Company does not have material exposure to cash flows denominated in foreign
currency, nor have net foreign exchange gains or losses been material to
operating results in the past three reporting periods.
