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

SEPTEMBER 25, 1999

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

           The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 only 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 outside factors and, accordingly,
           its operating results for the three months and nine months ended
           September 25, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
           that may be expected for the entire year ending December 25, 1999.

           For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
           statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report
           on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 1998.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
           Results of Operations.

           Certain information contained in Management's Discussion and
           Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may be
           deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of The
           Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject
           to the Act's safe harbor provisions. These statements are based on
           current expectations and involve a number of risks and
           uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially and
           adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements
           as a result of various factors outside the control of the Company,
           including, but not limited to the following: fluctuations in
           customer demand and spending, expectations of future volumes and
           prices for the Company's products, prevailing economic conditions
           affecting the retail lumber and building materials markets and
           seasonality of operating results.

           Results Of Operations

           Net income was $3.6 million for fiscal third-quarter 1999,
           compared with $3.1 million for the third quarter of 1998, an
           increase of 17 percent. The increase in net income was primarily
           from gains on the sale of properties. This increase in net income
           combined with a 19-percent decrease in average shares outstanding


                                   page 7


           resulted in per-share earnings of 68 cents for the third quarter
           compared with 46 cents for the same period of 1998, an increase of
           48 percent. Net income for the first nine months of 1999 also
           increased 17 percent to $5.9 million ($1.11 per share), compared
           with $5 million (75 cents per share) for the same period of 1998.
           The increase in nine-month earnings resulted primarily from gains
           on the sale of properties and the increase in earnings per share
           resulted from the reduced number of shares outstanding.

           Sales totaled $118.7 million for fiscal third-quarter 1999, a
           decrease of 17 percent from fiscal third-quarter 1998 sales of
           $143.1 million. The third quarter of 1998 includes sales of $26.3
           million from seven stores closed in late 1998 and six stores sold
           in January 1999. Sales for comparable stores increased 1 percent
           in the third quarter of 1999. Sales were positively impacted by
           approximately 20 percent higher selling prices for lumber and
           structural-panel products in fiscal third-quarter 1999 compared
           with 1998. Sales for the nine-month period ended September 25,
           1999 were $309.3 million, a 6-percent decrease from the
           corresponding period a year earlier. The absence of sales from the
           13 closed or sold stores offset a 7-percent increase in
           comparable-store sales for the nine-period of 1999. The higher
           selling prices for lumber and structural-panel products accounted
           for approximately 45 percent of the increase in comparable-store
           sales for the nine-month period.

           The sales mix for fiscal third-quarter 1999 was 60 percent
           contractor-builder sales and 40 percent project-consumer sales
           compared with a 61/39 mix for fiscal third-quarter 1998. For the
           nine-month period, contractor sales accounted for approximately 63
           percent of total sales in both years.

           Gross margins in third-quarter 1999 were 70 basis points higher,
           compared with 1998's third quarter. The third quarter 1998 gross
           margin was negatively impacted (approximately 50 basis points) by
           a writedown to net realizable value of slow-moving inventory.
           Gross margins for the nine-month period ended September 25, 1999
           were 30 basis points lower compared with the corresponding period
           a year earlier.

           The total operating expense factor was 19.3 percent for fiscal
           third-quarter 1999 versus 19.0 percent for fiscal third-quarter
           1998. For the 1999 nine-month period, the operating expense ratio
           was 21.1 percent for both years.

           Gains from the sale of properties totaled $1,050,000 in fiscal
           third-quarter 1999, compared with $32,000 for third-quarter 1998.
           For the 1999 nine-month period, gains from property sales totaled
           $2.7 million compared with $441,000 for the same period of 1998.
           The increase over 1998 reflects the Company's efforts to sell real
           estate related to stores closed.

           The effective income tax rate (federal and state) for the third
           quarter and the nine-month period of 1999 was 38.8 and 39.1
           percent, respectively, compared with 39.0 and 39.3 percent,
           respectively, for the corresponding periods of 1998.

           Financial Condition

           At September 25, 1999, the Company's balance sheet remained
           strong. Net working capital at September 25, 1999, totaled $52.9
           million, compared with $53.2


                                   page 8


           million at December 26, 1998. The current ratio at September 25,
           1999, was 2.3 to 1, the same as fiscal year-end 1998.


           Cash and cash equivalents were $.1 million at September 25, 1999,
           compared with $3.2 million at December 26, 1998. Cash and cash
           equivalents decreased $3 million during the first nine months of
           1999. Sources of cash in the first nine months of 1999 included
           approximately $10 million from the sale of inventory, trade
           receivables and equipment related to six stores sold to Stock
           Lumber and $6.8 million from the sale of other properties. Uses of
           cash in the first nine months of 1999 included $4.2 million used
           in operating activities, $6.3 million for additions to properties,
           $4 million for reduction of borrowings and $4.1 million used to
           repurchase 321,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
           average of $12.79 per share.

           The Company expects that net cash from operating activities and
           available lines of credit should be adequate to meet future
           working capital needs. There was $2 million of short-term
           borrowings outstanding at the end of fiscal third-quarter 1999.
           Unused lines of credit totaled $48 million at September 25, 1999.

           Invested capital (long-term debt and shareowners' equity) was
           equal to 73% of total assets at September 25, 1999, the same as
           fiscal year-end 1998. At September 25, 1999, the total
           debt-to-asset ratio was .08, versus .11 at fiscal year-end 1998
           and the ratio of equity to total assets was .65:1 versus .63:1 at
           fiscal year-end 1998.


           YEAR 2000

           As is more fully described in the Company's annual report on Form
           10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 1998, the Company's
           Year 2000 compliance program is progressing as planned. The
           Company is on schedule to have all corporate financial systems
           including inventory replenishment Year 2000 compliant by December
           31, 1999. The Company is in the process of changing its store
           point-of-sale system to a new system which is Year 2000 compliant.
           The Company is on schedule to have the final installation complete
           by early November 1999.

           The Company has continued its communication with significant
           suppliers to obtain additional assurance about their Y2K plans.
           Most of these vendors have stated their ability to supply the
           Company will not be affected by the Year 2000 issue. However, the
           Company cannot assure timely compliance of third parties and may
           be adversely affected by failure of a significant third party to
           become Year 2000 compliant.

           Total costs of modifying the Company's current systems are not
           expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's
           financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future
           periods. Should the Company not successfully complete a
           significant portion of its Year 2000 compliance program its
           financial condition may be materially adversely impacted; however,
           management does not consider the possibility of such an occurrence
           to be reasonably likely. Should the outlook for completion of the
           compliance program change, management will develop appropriate
           contingency plans to address any non-compliance issues.

                                   page 9


           The total cost of the Company's Year 2000 compliance program is
           estimated at $800,000 of which $788,000 has been paid. The costs
           of the program are being funded through operating cash flows.

           Outlook

           The Company is realigning its operations into two operating
           divisions in preparation for accelerated growth. The two divisions
           comprise a core group of high-performing, contractor-focused
           Wolohan stores and a CML Division targeting retail project sales
           and sales to professional homebuilders. CML is the operating name
           of Central Michigan Lumber, acquired by the Company in 1998. Up to
           27 stores currently operating under the Wolohan Lumber name are
           expected to be converted to the CML business model over the next
           several years.

           The Company has undertaken an internal management realignment to
           support this new operating strategy. David Honaman, Vice President
           and Chief Financial Officer, has been promoted to Senior Vice
           President and Chief Financial Officer for the Company and has also
           assumed the additional role of President of the Wolohan Division.
           Dan Rogers, President of Central Michigan Lumber since 1998, will
           continue as President of the CML Division following the
           realignment. In addition, Mr. Rogers has been promoted to Senior
           Vice President and General Merchandise Manager for Wolohan Lumber
           Co. and will assume marketing and purchasing responsibility for
           both divisions. Mr. Honaman, in his new capacity as President of
           the Wolohan Division, and Mr. Rogers report to Executive Vice
           President and Chief Operating Officer John Sieggreen. In his
           capacity as CFO, Mr. Honaman will continue reporting to the CEO,
           James Wolohan.

           Curt LeMaster, formerly Vice President of Purchasing, Marketing
           and Systems, has been promoted to Senior Vice President and Chief
           Information Officer. Mr. LeMaster is spearheading the rollout of a
           new point-of-sale operating system. He will also lead the
           Company's foray into electronic commerce and other internet
           applications. LeMaster will report to the CEO.

           The creation of these two operating divisions and the
           corresponding executive management assignments better position the
           Company to accelerate its growth in the coming years. The new
           structure will also allow the Company to more rapidly absorb
           acquisitions, a key part of the Company's planned growth strategy.
