                       GROSSMAN'S INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              JUNE 30, 1995

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION 
------------------------------

The accompanying Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have 
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 
applied on a consistent basis and, in the opinion of management, include 
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a 
fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.  The results of 
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the year.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Grossman's Inc. for the
year ended December 31, 1994.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 1994
has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

The Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of Grossman's Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company") after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. 

The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.  The Company records
activity in quarterly accounting periods of equal length, ending on the
last Saturday of each quarter.  The differences in amounts presented and
those which would have been presented using actual quarter end dates are
not material.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods
have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification. 
Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of
operations.

non-employee Director and an additional grant of options to purchase
50,000 shares to the Chairman of the Board.  A total of 275,000 options to

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------
JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 1994
---------------------------------------------

Financial condition at June 30, 1995 reflects the seasonal buildup of
inventory and a related increase in payables and term financing, and the
net year to date operating loss.  In addition, during the first half of
1995, the Company completed certain property sales and related paydowns on
long-term debt.  

Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $44.6 million, an increase of $1.1
million from the prior year end.  This increase is primarily the result of
an increase in inventory of $18.5 million, an increase in accounts
receivable of $2.7 million and a decrease in the current portion of
mortgage notes and capital lease obligations of $7.1 million, offset by an
increase in payables of $11.6 million and a $16.2 million reclassification
to current maturity of 14% Debentures, due January 1, 1996.  Historically
a decline in working capital has been experienced during the first six
months of the year, primarily due to large capital outlays during this
period in preparation for the spring/summer selling season.  Capital
spending in 1995 was below historic levels, as changes to stores in 1995
were primarily merchandise mix related and not capital intensive.  

The second quarter of the year is a period which encompasses the
spring/summer selling season.  As a result, inventory levels are
historically highest in the months of May and June.  Inventory at June 30,
1995 totalled $135.1 million, an $18.5 million or 15.9% increase from year
end and a $11.5 million or 7.8% decrease from one year ago.  The decrease
in inventory from one year ago is principally due to the closing of 18
Eastern Division stores in 1994 and a downsizing of the Eastern Division's
Distribution facility, partially offset by Contractors' Warehouse store
openings in June 1994 and January 1995 and two Mr. 2nd's Bargain Outlet
store openings in December 1994 and March 1995.  

In June 1995, the Company announced it had received notice of satisfaction
of contingencies and an additional $2.0 million deposit toward the sale of
its 35 acre headquarters site in Braintree, Massachusetts.  The Company is
preparing to vacate the premises, close the transaction and record a gain,
expected to be in excess of $14.0 million.  The purchase price for the
property is $32.0 million; $2.2 million has been paid in cash in advance
of the closing, $14.0 million will be received in cash on the closing
date, and the remaining $15.8 million will be paid in the form of a note. 
The note is due in two installments; $8.0 million is due 16 months
following the closing date and the remainder is due two years following
the closing date, provided, prepayments are required upon the occurrence
of certain events.  The note bears interest at 1% over Prime Rate during
the note's final eight month period.  The initial cash proceeds from the
sale will be used to retire the 14% Debentures due January 1, 1996.

During the first half of 1995, the Company sold its Eastern Division
Distribution Center and certain closed store properties, and repaid
related outstanding debt totalling $11.3 million.  The Company continues
to market properties vacated as a result of closing a total of 40 stores.

since 1993.  Of the 22 owned stores within this group, nine were sold
prior to 1995, five were sold in 1995 and one was reopened as a Mr. 2nd's
Bargain Outlet.  Of the 18 leased properties within this group, 10 leases
have been terminated, three leases are due to expire in 1995, and one
store was reopened as a Mr. 2nd's Bargain Outlet.  Proceeds received in
the first half of 1995 from the sale of the distribution center, the
deposit on the sale of the Braintree property and the sale of the closed
store properties totalled $15.7 million.  It is anticipated that sales of
the remaining owned properties will be sold over a period of years,
resulting in a liquidity improvement at the time of each respective sale.

Property, plant and equipment declined by $17.7 million since year end,
reflecting property sales, a reclassification of the Braintree property
under agreement to be sold to current assets, offset by $2.1 million in
capital expenditures.  Capital expenditures were made principally to
support the store openings.

During the first quarter of 1995, an adjustment of $872 thousand was
recorded, reducing the investment in its 50% owned Mexican joint venture,
to reflect a devaluation of the Mexican peso in relation to the U.S.
dollar.  A corresponding adjustment was made to stockholders' equity.

Total long-term debt, including the 14% Debentures and capital lease
obligations, decreased a total of $13.2 million.  This is the result of
the $11.3 million payments associated with sold properties, and continuing
scheduled payments, offset by an increase in capital lease obligations,
principally for equipment in new stores.

Six months ended June 30, 1995 compared with six months ended 
-------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 1994
-------------

A gross profit decline of $13.3 million, due to both sales declines and
margin rate decreases, was in excess of the operating expense savings of
$4.7 million, resulting in a net loss of $9.6 million for the first six
months of 1995, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million in 1994.  Affecting
results were industry wide housing starts and turnover rates, which
declined during the first six months of 1995, continuing slow market
conditions, particularly in the Northeast, and declining selling prices
and margins for commodity lumber products.

Six months ended June 30, 1995 compared with six months ended 
-------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 1994 (CONTINUED)
-------------------------

Total sales results reflect the 18 Eastern Division stores closed in late
1994 and a Contractors' Warehouse opening in early 1995.  Additionally,
one Contractors' Warehouse store opened late in the second quarter of 1994
and had a minimal effect on sales in the first half of 1994.

Within Grossman's stores, increases in comparable store sales results to
professionals is indicative of the strategy to target these customers. 
These increases occurred despite the declining selling prices for
commodity lumber products, which account for over 25% of the total sales
mix.  For the six month period, these increases, however, were not enough
to offset the continuing erosion of the retail customer comparable sales. 
Contractors' Warehouse comparable store sales decreased for the first six
months of 1995 by 1.3%.  First quarter declines related to heavy rain in
California were not fully offset by second quarter increases.  

The gross profit decline of $13.3 million was the result of the sales
decline and a decline in gross margin from 25.0% in 1994 to 23.5% in 1995,
reflecting the decline in commodity lumber margins.  Margin declines also
continue to occur as a result of sales increases to professional
customers, who receive discounts from retail pricing and as Contractors'
Warehouse stores continue to open.  Total professional sales, including
Contractors' Warehouse, increased from 55.4% in the six month period ended
June 30, 1994 to 62.5% in the comparable period in 1995.

Operating expenses decreased by $4.7 million for the six month period in
1995 compared with the same period in 1994.  This is the result of
continued expense control and downsizing in selling and administrative
expense areas, which account for $3.7 million of the decrease, reduction
in depreciation and amortization of $506 thousand, due to the closing of
18 Eastern Division stores in the fall of 1994, the sale of the Eastern
Division Distribution Center in 1995, and a reduction in store preopening
expense of $487 thousand.  The reduction in selling and administrative
expenses were tempered by additional costs, principally payroll, incurred
during the first quarter related to Eastern Division store modifications. 
Operating expenses related to the development of Project Pro's, Inc., the
Company's 80% owned subsidiary, totalled $1.8 million for the first six
months of 1995, compared to $2.3 million in 1994.

Interest expense increased from $3.8 million during the first six months
of 1994 to $4.3 million during the  first six months of 1995, reflecting
both an increase in average revolving credit and the rate on such
borrowings.  The weighted average rate on revolver borrowings increased
from 6.9% in 1994 to 9.5% in 1995.

The 1995 first six months include a $325 thousand net loss related to the
Company's 50% owned Mexican joint venture, compared with an $82 thousand
loss in 1994, when the venture began operations midway through the second
quarter.

Three months ended June 30, 1995 compared with three months ended
------------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 1994
-------------

The net income of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 1995 compared
with net income of $6.5 million in 1994.  Affecting results were industry
wide housing starts and turnover rates, which declined during the quarter,
continuing slow market conditions, particularly in the Northeast, and
declining selling prices and margins for commodity lumber products.  

Second quarter sales results reflect the 18 Eastern Division stores closed
in late 1994 and a Contractors' Warehouse opening in early 1995.
Additionally, one Contractors' Warehouse store opened late in the second
quarter of 1994, which had minimal effect on sales in the first half of
1994.

Within Grossman's stores, comparable store sales results to professionals
is indicative of the strategy to target these customers.  These increases
occurred despite the declining selling prices for commodity lumber
products, which account for over 25% of the total sales mix.  In the
second quarter, these increases, however, were not enough to offset the
continuing erosion of the retail customer comparable sales.  The Mr. 2nd's
Bargain Outlet stores continued to show comparable sales increase with
growth of 2.4% in the second quarter of 1995.  Contractors' Warehouse
comparable store sales increased by 3.5% in the second quarter of 1995,
following a decrease in comparable sales in the first quarter due to
extremely inclement weather experienced in California, where most of these
stores are located.  

The gross profit decline of $10.7 million was the result of the sales
decline and a decline in gross margin from 25.0% in 1994 to 22.9% in 1995,
reflecting the decline in commodity lumber margin.  Additionally, margin
declines continue to occur as a result of sales increases to professional
customers, who receive discounts from retail pricing and as Contractors'
Warehouse stores continue to open.  During the second quarter, total
professional sales, including Contractors' Warehouse, increased from 51.6%
in 1994 to 59.9% in 1995.

Operating expenses decreased by $4.8 million for the quarter ended June
1995 compared with the same period in 1994.  This is the result of
continued expense control and downsizing in selling and administrative
expense areas, which account for $4.0 million of the decrease, reduction
in depreciation and amortization of $360 thousand, due to the closing of
18 Eastern Division stores, the sale of the Eastern Division Distribution
Center in 1995 and a reduction in store preopening expense of $430
thousand.  Operating expenses related to Project Pro's, the Company's 80%
owned subsidiary, totalled $970 thousand for the second quarter of 1995,
as compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 1994.  

Interest expense increased from $1.9 million during the second quarter of
1994 to $2.1 million during the second quarter of 1995, reflecting both an
increase in average revolving credit and the rate on such borrowings.  The
weighted average rate on revolver borrowings increased from 7.2% in 1994
to 9.6% in 1995.

The 1995 second quarter includes a $127 thousand net loss related to the
Company's 50% owned Mexican joint venture, compared with an $82 thousand
loss in 1994, when the venture began operations midway through the second
quarter.

1.  PURPOSE
 
     The purpose of this Plan is to (1) encourage ownership of
Company Stock by non-employee directors and thereby align such
directors' interests more closely with the interests of
stockholders of the Company, and (2) assist the Company in securing
and retaining highly qualified persons to serve as non-employee
directors, in which position they may contribute to the long-term
growth and profitability of the Company, by affording such persons
an opportunity to acquire Stock.

the beneficial owner of stock representing more than twenty-five
percent of the voting power of the Company; (ii) the stockholders
of the Company approve a definitive agreement to merge or
consolidate the Company with or into another corporation other than
a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or to
liquidate the Company, or (iii) within any 24 consecutive month
period, persons who were members of the Board immediately prior to
such 24-month period, together with any persons who were first
elected as directors (other than as a result of any settlement of
a proxy or consent solicitation contest or any action taken to
avoid such a contest) during such 24-month period by or upon the
recommendation of persons who were members of the Board immediately
prior to such 24-month period and who constituted a majority of the
Board at the time of such election, cease to constitute a majority
of the Board.
 
          (c) "Committee" means the committee described in Section
4.

in its treasury, or may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock,
or may consist partly of each. If any Option expires or terminates
for any reason without having been exercised in full, the
unpurchased shares subject to the Option will again be available
for purposes of the Plan. Furthermore, if the holder of an Option
delivers shares of Stock to the Company on exercise of an Option,
pursuant to Section 6(f)(ii), such shares will again be available
for purposes of the Plan.
 
4.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

<PAGE>  4

5.  ELIGIBILITY
 
     Each director of the Company, who on any date on which an
Option or Stock is to be granted (as specified in Sections 6 and 7)
is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of
the Company (an "Eligible Director"), will be eligible to receive
Options or Stock under the Plan. No person other than those
specified in this Section 5 will be eligible to participate in the
Plan.
 
6.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
 
     (a) Number of Options.  On the date that this Plan is approved
by the Company's stockholders, each Eligible Director shall be
awarded an Option covering 25,000 shares of Stock; thereafter, on
the date that any new director is elected to the Board who is an
Eligible Director, each such new Eligible Director shall be awarded
an Option covering 25,000 shares of Stock.
 
                                       A-2

<PAGE>  5

     (b) Additional Options to Chairman of the Board.  On the date
that this Plan is approved by the Company's stockholders, Robert K.
Swanson, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, shall be awarded
an option covering 50,000 shares of Stock in addition to the Option
awarded to Mr. Swanson under Section 6(a).
 
     (c) Exercise Price.  The exercise price of each option granted
under (a) and (b) above (collectively, the "Director Options")
shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock at
the time the Director Options are granted. In no event, however,
shall the exercise price be less, in the case of an original issue
of authorized stock, than the par value per share of the stock.
 
     (d) Duration of Director Options.  The latest date on which
any of the Director Options may be exercised (the "Final Exercise
Date") shall be the date which is ten years from the date the
Director Options were granted.
 
     (e) Exercise of Director Options.
 
          (1) Each Director Option granted pursuant to this Section
6 shall be immediately exercisable to the extent of 20% of the
shares of Stock covered thereby on the date of grant, and shall
become exercisable to the extent of an additional 20% of the shares
of Stock covered thereby on each of the first, second, third and
fourth anniversaries of such date.
 
          (2) Any exercise of a Director Option shall be in
writing, signed by the proper person and delivered or mailed to the
Company, accompanied by (i) any documentation required by the Board
and (ii) payment in full for the number of shares for which the
Director Option is exercised.
 
          (3) If a Director Option is exercised by the executor or
administrator of a deceased director, or by the person or persons
to whom the Director Option has been transferred by the director's
will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, the
Company shall be under no obligation to deliver Stock pursuant to
such exercise until the Company is satisfied as the authority of
the person or persons exercising the Director Option.
 
     (f) Payment for and Delivery of Stock.  Stock purchased under
the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Director Options shall be paid
for as follows: (i) in cash or by check (acceptable to the Company
in accordance with guidelines established by the Committee for this
purpose), bank draft or money order payable to the order of the
Company; (ii) through the delivery of shares of Stock (which, in
the case of shares of Stock acquired from the Company, shall have
been outstanding for at least six months) having a Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase price; (iii) by
delivery of an unconditional and irrevocable undertaking by a
broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay
the exercise price; or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing
forms of payment; provided that if the Stock issued upon exercise
of the Director Option is an original issue of authorized Stock, at
least so much of the exercise price as represents the par value of
such Stock shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents.



<PAGE>  6

     The holder of a Director Option shall not have any rights as
a stockholder, except as to Stock actually received by him or her
upon exercise of a Director Option or otherwise under the Plan.
 
     (g) Nontransferability of Director Options.  To the extent
required by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act as from time to time
in effect, no Director Option may be transferred other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a director's
lifetime a Director Option may be exercised only by him or her.
 
     (h) Death.  Upon the death of any Participant to whom Director
Options have been granted under this Plan, all Director Options not
then exercisable shall terminate. All Director Options held by the
Participant that are exercisable immediately prior to death may be
exercised by his or her executor or administrator, or by
 
                                       A-3



<PAGE>  7

the person or persons to whom the Director Option is transferred by
will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any
time within one year after the Participant's death (subject,
however, to the limitations of Section 6(d) regarding the maximum
exercise period for such Director Option). At the end of such
one-year period, such Director Options shall terminate to the
extent not previously exercised or terminated.
 
     (i) Other Termination of Status as Eligible Director.  If an
Eligible Director's service with the Company terminates, or if a
director otherwise ceases to be an Eligible Director, for any
reason other than death, all Director Options (or portions thereof)
held by the director that are not then exercisable shall terminate.
Director Options that are exercisable on the date of termination
shall continue to be exercisable for a period of six months
(subject to Section 6(d)). At the end of such six-month period,
such Director Options shall terminate to the extent not previously
exercised or terminated.
 
     (j) Change of Control.  In the event of a Change of Control of
the Company, all Director Options granted under the Plan will
immediately become fully exercisable; except that, if the Change of
Control involves a consolidation or merger in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition
of all or substantially all the Stock then outstanding by a single
person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in
concert (each, a "Merger"), all Director Options granted under the
Plan will either (i) terminate and no longer be exercisable;
provided, that 20 days prior to the effective date of the Merger,
all Director Options outstanding hereunder that are not otherwise
exercisable shall become fully exercisable, or (ii) if there is an
acquiring corporation and the consideration to be received in the
Merger consists of voting securities of the acquiring corporation
or an affiliate, and the acquiring corporation so elects, be
assumed by the acquiring corporation, subject to consummation of
the Merger, and be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on
the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the
Merger, the voting securities received in the transaction by the
stockholders of the Company, with appropriate adjustments to the
exercise price and the number of shares subject to the Director
Option to preserve the value of the Director Option.
 
7.  STOCK IN LIEU OF RETAINER
 
     In lieu of the annual cash Retainer payable to each Eligible
Director, Stock will be issued in the amount of such Retainer each
year for so long as this Plan is in effect, to the extent and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth below:
 
          (a) Annual Stock Payment.  The number of shares of Stock
to be issued under this Section 7 will be equal to (i) the amount
of the annual Retainer payable to each Eligible Director at the
rate then in effect divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of Stock
as determined on the date of issuance. No fractional shares of 



<PAGE>  8

Stock will be issued; instead, the cash remainder will be paid to
the Participant. The delivery of Stock hereunder shall be
contingent upon service by the Participant through the date of the
first meeting of the Board of Directors in that year. On the date
30 days after the date of the annual meeting of stockholders at
which directors are elected (or, in the case of a director elected
by the Board, the date 30 days after such election) or as promptly
as practicable thereafter, the Company will deliver to the
Participant one or more certificates representing such Stock,
registered in the name of the Participant (or, if directed by the
Participant, in joint names of the Participant and his or her
spouse).
 
          (b) Rights of the Participant.  Except for the terms and
conditions set forth in this Plan, a Participant who is issued
Stock in lieu of the annual cash Retainer will have all of the
rights of a holder of the Stock, including the right to receive
dividends paid on such Stock and the right to vote the Stock at
meetings of stockholders of the Company. Upon delivery, such Stock
will be nonforfeitable.
 
                                       A-4


<PAGE>  9

8.  STOCK IN LIEU OF CONSULTING FEES
 
     (a) If, while this Plan is in effect, an Eligible Director is
serving as Chairman of the Board (a "Non-Executive Chairman"), and
such Non-Executive Chairman has entered into an agreement with the
Company to provide consulting services to the Company (a
"Consulting Agreement"), then, in consideration of such services,
within thirty days after the end of each calendar quarter during
which such Consulting Agreement is in full effect, the
Non-Executive Chairman shall be issued a number of shares of Stock
equal to (i) $1,000 times the number of days that the Non-Executive
Chairman shall have spent working on the affairs of the Company
under the Consulting Agreement during such preceding calendar
quarter (whether or not this Plan was in effect during such
period), divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the
last day of such calendar quarter. No fractional shares shall be
issued; instead, the remainder shall be paid to the Non-Executive
Chairman in cash. Upon delivery, such Stock shall be
nonforfeitable.
        
     (b) In addition to any Stock issuable under Section 8(a), the
Company shall issue to Robert K. Swanson, Chairman of the Board of
the Company, subsequent to the approval of the Plan by the
stockholders of the Company but in any event not later than May 1,
1995, a number of whole shares of Stock (with fractional shares
rounded down) equal to $20,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of
the Stock on the date of such issuance, in consideration of
consulting services rendered by Mr. Swanson to the Company during
1994. Upon delivery, such Stock shall be nonforfeitable.
 
9.  ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS
 
     In the event any recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, exchange of
shares or other securities of the Company, stock split or reverse
split, extraordinary dividend, liquidation, dissolution, or other
similar corporate transaction or event affects Stock such that an
adjustment is determined by the Board to be appropriate in order to
prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants' rights under the
Plan, then the Board shall, in a manner that is proportionate to
the change to the Stock and is otherwise equitable, adjust (i) any
or all of the number or kind of shares of Stock reserved for
issuance under the Plan and (ii) the number or kind of shares of
Stock to be subject to Director Options thereafter granted
automatically under Section 6, and (iii) the number and kind of
shares of Stock issuable upon exercises of outstanding Director
Options, and the exercise price per share thereof, provided that
the number of shares subject to any Director Option shall always be
a whole number.

10.  CHANGES TO THE PLAN AND AWARDS.
 
     (a) Changes to the Plan.  The Board may amend, alter, suspend,
discontinue, or terminate the Plan or authority to grant Options or
issue Stock under the Plan; provided, however, that, without the
consent of an affected Participant, no such amendment, alteration,
suspension, discontinuation, or termination may impair the rights
of such Participant under any Director Option theretofore granted
to him or her hereunder.
 
     (b) Changes to Outstanding Awards.  The Board may amend,
alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any Director Option
theretofore granted hereunder and any agreement relating thereto;
provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected
Participant, no such amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation, or termination may impair the rights of such
Participant under or with respect to any Director Option
theretofore granted to him or her or any agreement relating
thereto.
 
11.  GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
     (a) Consideration for Grants; Agreements.  Director Options
and Stock will be granted or paid under the Plan in consideration
of the services of Participants and, except for the payment of the
exercise price in the case of an Director Option, no other
consideration shall be required therefor. Grants of Director
Options will be evidenced by agreements executed by the Company and
the Participant containing the terms and conditions set forth in
the Plan together with such other terms and conditions not
inconsistent with the Plan as the Board may from time to time
approve.
 
                                       A-5



<PAGE>  11

     (b) Compliance with Securities Laws, Listing Requirements, and
Other Laws and Obligations.  The Company shall not be obligated to
deliver any shares of Stock under this Plan, upon the exercise of
any Director Option granted under Section 6 or the issuance of
Stock under Section 7 or Section 8, (i) until, in the opinion of
the Company's counsel, all applicable federal and state laws and
regulations have been complied with, (ii) if the outstanding Stock
is at the time listed on any stock exchange, or quoted on any
automated quotation system, until the shares to be delivered have
been listed or authorized to be listed or quoted on such exchange
or system upon official notice of issuance, and (iii) until all
other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of
such shares have been approved by the Company's counsel. If the
sale of Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Company may require, as a condition to
exercise of the Director Option or the issuance of Stock, such
representations or agreements as counsel for the Company may
consider appropriate to avoid violation of such Act and may require
that the certificates evidencing such Stock bear an appropriate
legend restricting transfer.
 
     (c) No Right to Continue as a Director.  Nothing contained in
the Plan or any agreement hereunder will confer upon any
Participant any right to continue to serve as a director of the
Company.
 
     (d) Governing Law.  The validity, construction, and effect of
the Plan and any agreement hereunder will be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving
effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and applicable federal
law.
 
12.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN
 
     The Plan will become effective at the time that it is approved
by the Board, subject to approval by the stockholders of the
Company by the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of
the securities of the Company present in person or represented by
proxy, and entitled to vote at a meeting of Company stockholders
duly held. The Plan will remain in effect until such time as the
Board may act to terminate the Plan pursuant to Section 10(a), or
until such time as no Stock remains available for issuance under
the Plan and the Company has no further rights or obligations under
the Plan with respect to Director Options granted or Stock issued
under the Plan.

     ANNEX B
 
                                GROSSMAN'S INC.
 
                           1995 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
 
     I.  Purpose.  The purpose of this 1995 Restricted Stock Plan
(the "Plan") is to advance the interests of Grossman's Inc. (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries by enhancing the Company's ability
to reward officers and key employees for their contributions to the
success of the Company and its subsidiaries and to create an
incentive for their efforts to increase the profitability of the
Company and its subsidiaries.
 
     II.  Effective Date.  This Plan shall become effective on the
date on which it is approved by the shareholders of the Company,
although awards may be made prior to that time subject to such
approval. Awards may thereafter be made pursuant to the terms of
this Plan until December 31, 2005.
 
     III.  Administration of the Plan.  The Plan shall be
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board") or by such other committee
as the Board shall appoint from among its members and designate to
administer the Plan (the "Committee"). The Committee shall be
authorized, subject to the express provisions of this Plan, to
adopt, amend and rescind rules for the administration of the Plan
and its own proceedings, and to take all action necessary or
appropriate to administer the Plan, to interpret its provisions,
and to decide all questions and resolve all disputes which may
arise in connection therewith. Such determinations of the Committee
shall be conclusive and shall bind all parties. The Committee shall
consist of not fewer than two members of the Board, all of whom
shall be "disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
 
     IV.  Eligibility.  Officers and key employees of the Company
or its subsidiaries shall be eligible to receive awards pursuant to
the Plan ("Awards"). To the extent that their eligibility would
cause them to fail to be "disinterested persons" within the meaning
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, members of the Committee and
directors who are not employees shall not be eligible to receive
Awards. Receipt of an Award shall not preclude an officer or
employee from receiving additional awards under this Plan or any
other plan of the Company.
 
     V.  Shares Subject to Plan.  Awards made pursuant to the Plan
shall consist of shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Shares"). Shares awarded pursuant to the Plan
shall in the discretion of the Committee be authorized but unissued
Shares or Shares held in treasury. The aggregate number of Shares
which may be issued under this Plan (excluding forfeited and 


<PAGE>  2

reissued Shares described below) shall not exceed 250,000, subject
to adjustment by the Committee in the event of a stock dividend,
stock split, combination of Shares, recapitalization, or other
change in the Company's Common Stock. Shares which are forfeited as
provided herein may be reissued pursuant to this Plan.
 
     VI.  Terms and Conditions of the Plan.
 
  A.  Grant of Awards.
 
     Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee
shall have the sole authority and discretion (i) to make Awards to
such eligible employees as the Committee shall select at such times
as the Committee shall determine, and (ii) to determine the size of
each such Award and the terms and conditions thereof (including any
provisions relating to forfeiture in addition to those required
herein). In making an Award, the Committee may require a cash or
other payment from the person to whom an Award is made (the
"Recipient"), unless it shall determine that the consideration from
the Recipient to the Company for services
 
                                       B-1

<PAGE>  3

rendered in excess of the compensation otherwise paid to the
Recipient prior to or at the time of the Award is at least equal to
the par value of the Shares being issued. Each Recipient shall, as
a condition of receiving any Award hereunder, enter into a
Restricted Stock Agreement with the Company setting forth the terms
and conditions of the Award, including forfeiture provisions, in
such form as the Committee shall determine, and a stock certificate
registered in the name of the Recipient shall be issued under the
conditions set forth in Section V.C. below.
 
  B.  Terms of Awards.
 
     An Award shall consist of a specified number of Shares, and
shall be subject to such terms and conditions as are set forth in
the Restricted Stock Agreement.
 
  C.  Stock Certificates.
 
     Prior to the time specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement
when a portion of an Award ceases to be subject to forfeiture, the
stock certificates representing Shares constituting that portion of
the Award shall bear a legend indicating the restrictions thereon.
Recipients shall receive all dividends, stockholder communications
and proxy materials with regard to the Shares constituting Awards.
A certificate or certificates for forfeited Shares shall be
returned to the Company. A Recipient shall be entitled to any
dividends or other distributions attributable to forfeited Shares
paid after forfeiture of such Shares with respect to a record date
prior to forfeiture.
 
  D.  Payment.
 
     On the date specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement that
a portion of an Award ceases to be subject to forfeiture, a
Recipient shall be entitled to delivery of unlegended certificates
representing Shares which have vested and the Shares represented
thereby shall cease to be subject to forfeiture.
 
     VII.  Nontransferability of Awards.  No Shares, nor any
interest therein, shall be transferable by the Recipient (by sale,
pledge, gift or otherwise) prior to a Vesting Date, otherwise than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and Shares
shall be delivered only to the Recipient or, in the case of his
death, to his estate.
 
     VIII.  Tax Matters.  The Committee shall require a Recipient
receiving an Award hereunder to reimburse the Company for any taxes
required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and
paid by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in respect of the
issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award. In lieu thereof, the
Company shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes
from any other sums due or to become due from the Company to the
Recipient upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall

prescribe. Subject to the consent of the Committee, a Recipient may
make an irrevocable election to have Shares otherwise issuable
under an Award withheld, tender back to the Company Shares received
pursuant to an Award or deliver to the Company previously acquired
Shares having a fair market value sufficient to satisfy all or part
of the Recipient's estimated tax obligations associated with the
transaction. Such election must be made by a Recipient prior to the
date on which the relevant tax obligation arises. The Committee may
disapprove of any election and may limit, suspend or terminate the
right to make such elections.
 
     IX.  Delivery of Shares.  Recipients of Shares shall cooperate
to effect delivery thereof in accordance with the terms of all
federal and state laws and regulations as interpreted by counsel
for the Company. Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company may require that the certificates
representing Shares awarded hereunder bear a legend restricting the
transfer thereof except upon compliance with the conditions of the
Award, as stated herein and in the Restricted Stock Agreement
relating thereto, and the federal and state securities laws; and
that each Recipient, as a condition of such delivery, make such
 
                                      B-2



<PAGE>  5

representations or agreements, if any, as may be required in the
opinion of such counsel to avoid violation of any laws or
regulations, including without limitation the registration or other
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
     X.  Employment Rights.  Neither the adoption of the Plan nor
the granting of Awards shall confer upon any Recipient the right to
continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, nor
affect in any way the right of the Company or its subsidiaries to
terminate the employment of any Recipient at any time.
 
    XI.  Adjustment, Amendment and Termination.
 
     A.  The Committee may adjust the number of Shares awarded to
Recipients and otherwise adjust the Plan to take into consideration
material changes in accounting practices or principles,
recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, stock splits,
acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property, changes in
fiscal year, or other events, if it is determined by the Committee
that such adjustment is appropriate to avoid distortion in the
operation of the Plan.
 
     B.  The Committee may cease making awards hereunder at any
time, but in no event shall an Award be made after December 31,
2005. The Plan may be terminated, amended or modified at any time
by the Board; provided, however, that the Board may not, without
the affirmative vote of the shareholders, (i) increase the maximum
number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan in the
aggregate or to any one Recipient (except in the case of any
adjustment as provided in paragraphs V. and XI.A), (ii) extend
beyond December 31, 2005 the date after which Awards may no longer
be made, or (iii) provide for administration of the Plan other than
by a committee consisting of directors of the Company not eligible
to receive Awards under the Plan.
