WOLOHAN LUMBER CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 1995


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  unaudited condensed financial  statements  have
     been  prepared  in  accordance with generally accepted  accounting
     principles  for  interim  financial  information  and   with   the
     instructions  to  Form  10-Q and Article  10  of  Regulation  S-X.
     Accordingly,  they  do  not include all  of  the  information  and
     footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
     complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,  all
     adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring accruals)  considered
     necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

     The  Company's  business  is seasonal in  nature  and  subject  to
     general  economic  conditions  and  other  outside  factors   and,
     accordingly,  its operating results for the three months  and  six
     months ended June 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of  the
     results  that may be expected for the entire year ending  December
     31, 1995.

     For  further  information, refer to the financial  statements  and
     footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended December 31, 1994.

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

     Results Of Operations
     
     Net  income  for the second quarter of 1995 was $2.9 million,  (40
     cents per share) versus $4.7 million (66 cents per share) for  the
     same  period  of  1994.   The decline in  second-quarter  earnings
     resulted from lower sales and tighter margins.  For the first  six
     months  of 1995, net income was $2.1 million, (30 cents per share)
     compared  with  $3.4  million (48 cents per share)  for  the  same
     period of 1994.
     
     Sales totaled $123.1 million in the second quarter of 1995, an  8-
     percent  decline from second quarter 1994.  The sales  decline  in
     the  second quarter resulted from a 3-percent decrease in consumer
     (do-it-yourself)  sales and a 13-percent decline  in  professional
     contractor sales.  Sales at comparable stores (stores in operation
     at  June  30  and  opened prior to April 1,  1994)  were  down  14
     percent,  which  resulted from a 12-percent  decline  in  consumer
     sales  and  a 15-percent decrease in contractor sales.  The  sales
     mix  ratio for the second quarter of 1995 was 54% consumer and 46%
     contractor  sales, compared with 52% consumer and  48%  contractor
     for  the  second quarter 1994.  For the first six months of  1995,
     sales were $198.5 million compared with $210.2 million in the same
     period  of  1994,  a  decrease  of 6  percent.   Contractor  sales
     decreased 7 percent and consumer sales decreased 4 percent for the
     six-month  period.  Comparable store sales for the 1995  six-month
     period were down 12 percent. The 1995 sales mix for six months was
     50% consumer sales and 50% contractor sales versus 49% and 51%,
     respectively for 1994.  Fewer housing starts, lower lumber prices,
     sluggish consumer spending and additional competition continue  to
     be the factors that are negatively affecting sales in 1995.
     
     Gross  margins  were 23.8 percent in the 1995  second  quarter,  a
     decline  of  30 basis points compared with 1994's second  quarter.
     Competitive pressures in both the consumer and contractor segments
     of  the  Company's business negatively affected the second-quarter
     margins.
     
     Selling, general and administrative expenses in second quarter  of
     1995  were  18.1  percent of sales compared with 16.9  percent  of
     sales  for the corresponding period of 1994.  Depreciation expense
     increased  $290,000, or 14 percent, from second quarter  1994  and
     reflects  the six new stores opened in 1994 and the two  added  in
     1995.
     
     The effective tax rate (federal and state) for second quarter 1995
     was 40%, compared to 38.4% for second quarter 1994.  The effective
     income  tax rate is a function of the proportion of the  Company's
     tax-exempt interest and other non-deductible expenses in  relation
     to taxable income.
     
     Financial Condition
     
     At June 30, 1995, the Company's balance sheet remains strong.  Net
     working  capital at June 30, 1995 was $61.4 million,  compared  to
     $60.8  million at June 30, 1994 and $64.8 million at December  31,
     1994.   The current ratio at June 30, 1995 was 2.5 to 1,  compared
     to 2.1 to 1 at June 30, 1994, and 2.8 to 1 at December 31, 1994.
     
     Cash  and  cash equivalents were $15.9 million at June  30,  1995,
     compared  to $13.0 million at June 30, 1994 and $22.1  million  at
     December 31, 1994.  The liquidity ratio was .39 to 1, compared  to
     .24 to 1 at June 30, 1994, and .62 to 1 at December 31, 1994.
     
     Cash  and cash equivalents increased $1.7 million during the  1995
     second quarter with operating activities producing $9.6 million of
     cash.  The major use of cash was for net property additions,  $1.2
     million, and reduction of short-term debt of $6 million.
     
     The Company expects that funds from operations and available lines
     of  credit should be adequate to meet future working capital needs
     and capital expenditures for 1995.
     
     Invested  capital  (long-term debt and  shareowner's  equity)  was
     equal to 76% of total assets at June 30, 1995, compared to 78%  at
     year-end 1994.  The ratio of equity to total assets was .61  to  1
     at  June  30,  1995 and December 31, 1994.  The Company  purchased
     65,000  shares  of its common stock during the second  quarter  of
     1995.


Outlook
     
The  Company anticipates continued softness in its markets  during  the
second  half  of 1995 together with strong competitive pressures  which
will  make  sales  and margin improvement difficult.   The  Company  is
focusing its time and energy on improving the competency and commitment
of  its people to provide outstanding customer service.  The Company is
striving to better execute its strategy of selling project sales  which
involve  the major purchases of products such as lumber, basic building
materials,  millwork, and kitchen cabinets.  The Company  is  investing
more  in  technology.  The Company's challenge is to become leaner  and
stronger and better positioned for the future.

          STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS



                           ARTICLE I

                            Purpose

     The purposes of the Wolohan Lumber Co. Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors (the "Plan") are to attract and retain the
services  of experienced and knowledgeable non-employee Directors
of Wolohan Lumber Co. (the "Company") and to provide an incentive
for  such Directors to increase their proprietary interest in the
Company's long-term success and progress.


                           ARTICLE II

                   Shares Subject to the Plan

      The total number of shares of common stock, $1.00 par value
("Shares"), of the Company for which options may be granted under
the  Plan  is  50,000 shares subject to adjustment in  accordance
with  Article  VI  hereof.  Such Shares  may  be  authorized  and
unissued  shares  or  shares purchased on  the  open  market  for
purposes  of the Plan, and shall include shares representing  the
unexercised  portion of any option granted under the  Plan  which
expires or terminates without being exercised in full.


                          ARTICLE III

                     Administration of Plan

       The  Plan  shall  be  administered  by  a  committee  (the
"Committee") of not less than two persons consisting of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and other persons designated  by
him  who  are  either officers of the Company or members  of  the
Board  of  Directors, none of whom is eligible to participate  in
the  Plan.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall
have  the  power  to  construe the provisions  of  the  Plan,  to
determine all questions arising thereunder and to adopt and amend
such rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan  as
it may deem desirable.


                           ARTICLE IV

                        Award of Options

      The  Committee  may grant options to each Director  of  the
Company  who  is  not  otherwise an officer or  employee  of  the
Company.   The Committee shall have the discretion, in accordance
with  the provisions of the Plan, to determine to which Directors
an option is granted, the number of Shares optioned and the terms
and conditions of the option.


                           ARTICLE V

                          Option Terms

      Each  option granted to a Director under the Plan  and  the
issuance  of Shares thereunder shall be subject to the  following
terms.

      1.    Option Agreement.  Each option granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by an option agreement (the "Agreement")  duly
executed  on  behalf of the Company and by the Director  to  whom
such  option  is granted.  Each Agreement shall comply  with  and
shall  be  subject to the terms and conditions of  the  Plan  and
shall  conclusively evidence by the optionee's signature  thereon
that  it is the intent of the optionee to continue to serve as  a
Director of the Company for the remainder of the calendar year in
which  the  option was granted.  Any Agreement may  contain  such
other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with  the
Plan  as may be determined by the Committee.  No option shall  be
granted within the meaning of the Plan and no purported grant  of
any option shall be effective, until such an Agreement shall have
been  duly executed on behalf of the Company and the Director  to
whom the option is to be granted.

      2.    Option Exercise Price.  The option exercise price for
an  option granted under the Plan shall be the fair market  value
of  the  Shares covered by the option at the time the  option  is
granted.   For  purposes of the Plan, "fair market  value"  shall
mean  the closing price of the Shares quoted on the day of  grant
on the national market list as quoted in the National Association
of  Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"),  or
if  there  is  no such price published, then on the  most  recent
preceding date on which such prices are published.

      3.   Time and Manner of Exercise of Option.  Subject to the
approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company,  options
may  not  be exercised during the first six months of their  term
and may be exercised in full at one time or in part from time  to
time  thereafter.  Any option may be exercised by giving  written
notice,  signed  by  the person exercising  the  option,  to  the
Company  stating the number of Shares with respect to  which  the
option  is  being exercised, accompanied by payment in  full  for
such  Shares, which payment may be in whole or in part in  shares
of the common stock of the Company already owned by the person or
persons  exercising the option, valued at fair  market  value  as
defined in Section 2 of Article V hereof.

     4.   Term of Options.  Each option shall expire on such date
as  determined by the Committee but in any event not  later  than
ten  (10) years from the date of the granting thereof, but  shall
be subject to earlier termination as follows:

           (a)   In  the  event of the death of an optionee,  the
     option granted to such optionee may be exercised within  one
     year  after the date of death of such optionee or  prior  to
     the date on which the option expires by its terms, whichever
     is earlier, by the estate of such optionee, or by any person
     or  persons  whom  the  optionee shall  have  designated  in
     writing  on  forms prescribed by and filed with the  Company
     or,  if  no such designation has been made by the person  or
     persons  to whom the optionee's rights have passed, by  will
     or the laws of descent and distribution.

           (b)   In  the event that an optionee ceases  to  be  a
     Director of the Company, the option granted to such optionee
     may  be exercised by him within one year after the date such
     optionee ceases to be a Director of the Company or prior  to
     the date on which the option expires by its terms, whichever
     is earlier.

     5.   Transferability.  The right of any optionee to exercise
an  option  granted to him under the Plan shall not be assignable
or  transferable by such optionee otherwise than by will  or  the
laws  of  descent and distribution, and any such option shall  be
exercisable during the lifetime of such optionee only by him.

        Notwithstanding   the   foregoing   provisions   as    to
nontransferability,  an optionee, after written  notification  to
the   Committee,  may  transfer  an  option  to  members  of  the
optionee's immediate family, including trusts for the benefit  of
such family members and partnerships in which such family members
are  the  only  partners; provided, however, in no event  may  an
optionee make any transfers which would cause the Plan to fail to
satisfy  the  applicable requirements of  Rule  16b-3  under  the
Securities  Exchange  Act  of 1934 ("Act")  or  would  cause  any
optionee to fail to be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3  or
other  exemptive rules under Section 16 of the Act or be  subject
to  liability thereunder. The transferee of an option shall agree
to  comply  with  and  be bound by all the terms  and  conditions
contained in the Plan.  A transferred option may be exercised  by
the  transferee  only  to the extent that the  optionee  of  such
option  would have been entitled to exercise the option  had  the
option not been transferred.


      6.    Participant's or Successor's Rights  as  Stockholder.
Neither  the  recipient  of an option  under  the  Plan  nor  his
successor(s)  in interest shall have any rights as a  stockholder
of  the  Company with respect to any shares subject to an  option
granted  to  such person until such person becomes  a  holder  of
record of such shares.

      7.   Regulatory Approval and Compliance.  The Company shall
not  be required to issue any certificate or certificates for the
Shares issuable upon the exercise of an option granted under  the
Plan, or record as a holder of record of such Shares the name  of
the  individual  exercising an option  under  the  Plan,  without
obtaining  to  the  complete satisfaction of the  Committee,  the
approval  of  all  regulatory  bodies  deemed  necessary  by  the
Committee,  and  without complying, to the  Committee's  complete
satisfaction,  with  all  rules and regulations,  under  federal,
state, or local law deemed applicable by the Committee.


                           ARTICLE VI

                      Capital Adjustments

     The aggregate number of Shares with respect to which options
may  be  granted under the Plan, as provided in Article  II,  the
number  of  Shares subject to each outstanding  option,  and  the
price per share specified in such options, all shall be adjusted,
for  any  increase or decrease in the number of issued shares  of
common  stock  of  the Company resulting from  a  subdivision  or
consolidation of shares or any other similar capital  adjustment,
a stock split, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase
or   decrease  in  such  shares  effected  without   receipt   of
consideration, or a merger or consolidation of the Company or the
sale  of  all  or  substantially all of the  assets  of,  or  the
liquidation of the Company.


                          ARTICLE VII

                    Approval of Stockholders

      The  Plan  shall  be subject to approval  by  the  vote  of
stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting  stock  of
the  Company  voting  in  person or  by  proxy  at  a  duly  held
stockholders'  meeting  within  twelve  (12)  months  after   the
adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors.


                          ARTICLE VIII

             Termination and Amendment of the Plan

      The  Board may amend, terminate or suspend the Plan at  any
time, in its sole and absolute discretion provided, however, that
without  the  approval  of stockholders no  amendment  shall  (i)
increase the number of shares subject to the Plan; or (ii) reduce
the  option  price  below the fair market  value  of  the  Shares
subject to the option at the time the option was granted.


                           ARTICLE IX

                     Effectiveness of Plan

      The  Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on  January
27,  1995  subject  to  the approval of the stockholders  of  the
Company.
