                   THE VALLEY FAIR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 30, 1995
                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 1  -   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

            The financial information included herein is unaudited. In addition,
            the financial  information does not include all disclosures required
            under generally accepted accounting  principles because certain note
            information  included  in  the  company's  annual  report  has  been
            omitted:   however,   such  information   reflects  all  adjustments
            (consisting  solely of normal recurring  adjustments)  which are, in
            the opinion of  management,  necessary  to a fair  statement  of the
            result for the interim periods.

            The results of operations  for the  twenty-six  weeks ended July 30,
            1995  and  the  twenty-six   weeks  ended  July  31,  1994  are  not
            necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the full
            year.

NOTE 1(b)

            Effective  February  1,  1993,  the  Company  adopted  statement  of
            Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes.
            Statement  109 requires a charge for deferred  taxes to an asset and
            liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and
            liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
            for the future tax consequences. attributable to differences between
            the  financial  statement  carrying  amounts of existing  assets and
            liabilities and their respective tax bases. The change in accounting
            method for income taxes had no effect on  consolidated  earnings for
            the period and prior financial statements were not restated.

NOTE 2  -   EARNINGS PER SHARE

            Earnings  per share  were  computed  by  dividing  net income by the
            weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
            the periods. The Company has purchased and retired additional shares
            during the current periods.  The earnings per share  calculation has
            been adjusted to reflect these retirements during the periods.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                           and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Consolidated  net  sales  decreased  approximately  $  659,000  or 2.0%  for the
twenty-six  week period ended July 30, 1995 as compared to the twenty-six  weeks
ended July 31, 1994.  Consolidated net sales decreased  $249,000 or 1.5% for the
thirteen  week period  ended July 30,  1995,  as compared to the same prior year
period.  Same store sales  decreased  approximately  $1,253,000  or 3.9% for the
twenty-six week period as compared with the prior year period as competition and
economic  uncertainties  continue to effect  consumer  buying  patterns.  Tenant
licensee  revenue and other  increased  $109,000 to 4.5% for the twenty-six week
period ended July 30, 1995, as compared to the  twenty-six  weeks ended July 31,
1994.  Tenant  licensee  revenue  and other  increased  $56,000  or 4.5% for the
thirteen  week  period  ended July 30,  1995 as  compared to the same prior year
period.

The gross  margins for the  twenty-six  and thirteen week periods ended July 30,
1995  were  33.1%  and  34.8%  respectively  as  compared  to  30.6%  and  29.0%
respectively, for both the periods a year ago. The increase in merchandise which
had been purchased on terms  favorable to the  Corporation and the change in mix
of sales from stores generated these higher margins.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased approximately $37,000 or
 .3% compared to the  twenty-six  weeks ended July 31, 1994 For the thirteen week
period, selling,  general and administrative expenses increased $185,000 or 2.9%
compared to the prior year period. Salary expense accounted for $127,000 or 2.0%
of this  increase.  The  relationship  of selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses to net sales was 38.5% and 39.7%  respectively,  for the twenty-six and
thirteen  week periods  ended July 30, 1995  compared to 37.6% and 38.0% for the
twenty-six and thirteen week periods, respectively ended July 31, 1994.

Interest  expense  for the  twenty-six  weeks  ended  July  30,  1995  increased
approximately $109,000 or 21.3% as compared to the 1994 period. For the thirteen
week period ended July 30, 1995,  interest  expense  increased  $39,000 or 15.1%
These increases are a result of higher  interest rates and increased  borrowings
in fiscal 1996 as compared to 1995.

The Corporation's  income tax for the twenty-six week period ended July 30, 1995
was $68,000 or 40.0%.  For the twenty-six  week period ended July 31, 1994 there
was a tax benefit of $167,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 30, 1995, the Corporation's cash and short-term  investment  balances
amounted to $3,030,000. The Corporation's principal sources of liquidity are its
available cash balances and funds available through its line of credit.

The  Corporation  believes  that  its  cash  and  investment  balances  will  be
sufficient to meet its anticipated  needs throughout the remainder of the fiscal
year 1996.
