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

JUNE 24, 2000

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 six months ended June 24, 2000 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
         entire year ending December 31, 2000.

         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 25, 1999.

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 $1.5 million (29 cents per share) for fiscal
         second-quarter 2000, compared with $3.2 million (60 cents per share)
         for the second quarter of 1999. The earnings decline in second quarter
         2000 resulted from a 22.5 percent decrease in sales which was offset,
         in part, by a 110 basis-point increase in the gross margin percentage
         and an 11-percent decline in operating expenses. Net income for the
         first half of 2000 totaled $256,000 (5 cents per share), compared with
         $2.3 million (43 cents per share) for the similar period of 1999. The
         1999 first-half results

                                     PAGE 7

<PAGE>   8


         included  18 cents per  share  from  gains on the sale of  properties,
         compared with 4 cents per share in the 2000 period.

         Sales totaled $91 million for fiscal second-quarter 2000, falling 22.5
         percent from fiscal second-quarter 1999 sales of $117.4 million. Sales
         for comparable stores declined 19.9 percent in the second quarter of
         2000 from the second quarter of 1999. Sales for the six-month period
         ended June 24, 2000 were $157.9 million, a 17.2-percent decrease from
         the corresponding period a year earlier. Sales for comparable stores
         declined 13.5 percent for the 2000 six-month period from the same
         period in 1999. The sales decline in both the second quarter and
         six-month period was due, in part, to an overall slowdown of housing
         and other construction activity for the industry in general, as well as
         the Company's decision to reduce or eliminate certain product
         categories which are inconsistent with the Company's long-term
         strategies.

         The sales mix for fiscal second-quarter 2000 was 60 percent
         contractor-builder sales and 40 percent project-consumer sales, the
         same as fiscal second-quarter 1999. For the six-month period,
         contractor sales accounted for approximately 65 percent of total sales
         in both periods.

         Gross margins for the second-quarter and six-month period of 2000 were
         23.7 percent, 110 basis points higher than 1999's second quarter and 90
         basis points higher than the six-month period of 1999. The higher gross
         margins were achieved primarily from the effect of lower lumber prices.

         Work has progressed on the plan to convert several Wolohan stores to
         the CML format.  The CML format is a cost-efficient operating model
         focused on servicing project customers and large building contractors.
         Three stores have been converted so far in 2000 (Burton, Kalamazoo and
         Battle Creek, Mich.) with one more scheduled for the second half. Costs
         incurred in the second quarter related to these conversions totaled
         approximately $93,000 (approximately $163,000 for the six-month
         period). The Company's operating-expense ratio, including the
         conversion costs, was 21.9 percent in second quarter 2000, compared
         with 19.0 percent in 1999's second quarter. For the 2000 six-month
         period, the operating expense ratio was 24.4 percent compared with 22.3
         percent for the same period of 1999.

         Gains from the sale of properties totaled $112,000 in fiscal
         second-quarter 2000, compared with $559,000 for second-quarter 1999.
         For the 2000 six-month period, gains from property sales totaled
         $505,000, compared with $1.7 million in the first half of 1999.

         The effective income tax rate (Federal and state) for the second
         quarter and the six-month period of 2000 was 39.5 percent and 39.6
         percent, respectively, compared with 39.6 percent for the corresponding
         periods of 1999.

         Financial Condition

         At June 24, 2000, the Company's balance sheet remained strong. Net
         working capital at June 24, 2000, totaled $45.8 million, compared with
         $52.3 million at Dec. 25, 1999. The current ratio at June 24, 2000, was
         2.4 to 1, compared with 2.7 to 1 at Dec. 25, 1999.

         Cash and cash equivalents were $7.6 million at June 24, 2000, compared
         with $3.2 million at Dec. 25, 1999. The liquidity ratio at June 24,
         2000, was .23 to 1, compared with .1 to 1 at Dec. 25, 1999. Cash and
         cash equivalents increased $4.4 million during the first half of 2000.
         Operating activities provided net cash of $13.2 million in the first
         half of 2000, primarily from reductions in accounts receivable, Builder
         Finance Program receivables and inventories plus depreciation.
         Investing activities in the first half of 2000 included $1.7 million of
         proceeds from the sale of fixed assets (primarily closed facilities)
         and offset, in part, $3.1 million of additions to properties. Financing
         activities in the first half of 2000 used net cash of $7.4 million and
         included $4.1 million for payments on long-term debt, $3.6 million for
         the purchase of 324,000 shares of Company common stock at an average
         price of $11.17 per share (which included 221,000 shares in the second
         quarter at an average price per share of $10.64), $.7 million for a
         dividend payment and net borrowings of $1 million under the Company's
         credit lines.

         The Company expects that net cash from operating activities and
         available lines of credit should be adequate to meet future working
         capital needs.

         Invested capital (long-term debt and shareowners' equity) was equal to
         76% of total assets at June 24, 2000, compared with 78% at fiscal
         year-end 1999. At June 24, 2000, the total debt-to-asset ratio was .06,
         versus .09 at fiscal year-end 1999 and the ratio of equity to total
         assets was .69:1, the same as fiscal year-end 1999.

         In 1997, the Company began testing a Builder Finance Program as a way
         of improving market share and product mix of builder sales. The program
         started out with Wolohan Lumber being the licensed mortgage
         broker/lender. The Company utilized its working capital to fund the
         loans. The average mortgage loan is for a six-month period, carries a
         competitive interest rate and generally has a lower administrative fee
         for the builder when compared to a commercially-offered construction
         loan. A first mortgage is obtained as security for each loan. The
         program has grown from financing three homes in 1997 to over 100 homes
         in 1999. Because of the growth of the program, the Company has
         partnered with a financial institution to fund the needs of qualified
         Michigan builders.  In 2000, most of the funding for loans to the
         Company's customers in Michigan is being done through the independent
         financial institution. The Company continues to be the mortgage lender
         for the program in Ohio and Indiana. At the end of the second quarter
         2000, the balance of receivables in the Builder Finance Program totaled
         $2.5 million, compared with $5.2 million at year-end 1999.

         Outlook

         The Company expects revenues to continue to lag behind last year's
         levels in the second half of the year.  Factors contributing to lower
         sales expectations include lower demand for housing and significantly
         lower prices for commodity wood products.  Given these factors, the
         Company will focus on improving market share to its target customers.

         The Company uses Economic Value Added (EVA) as its primary measurement
         of return on investment.  EVA measures the profitability of an
         existing or potential investment relative to the Company's cost of
         capital.  The Company will continue to analyze its existing and future
         investments according to this criteria.
