                       GROSSMAN'S INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
          NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               JUNE 30, 1996
 
 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, 1995.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 1995
 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.
 
 
 NOTE 2 - RESTRUCTURING, REFINANCING AND UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA
 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------  
 
 In March 1996, the Company announced a restructuring and refinancing plan 
 under which its 60 Grossman's stores, located in eight Northeastern
 states, were closed and a $40.2 million restructuring charge was recorded. 
 The total non-cash portion of the reserve was approximately $22.2 million;
 $12.8 million for inventory liquidation costs and $9.4 million for the net
 unrecoverable amount of property, plant and equipment.  Estimated
 severance payments, most of which had been completed as of June 30, 1996,
 total $8.0 million.  Estimated additional cash payments total $10.0
 million, including $6.0 million paid through June 30, 1996, for
 incremental professional fees, including consultants, attorneys,
 accountants, environmental surveys, title fees, inventory liquidation fees
 and property due diligence fees.  The remaining $4.0 million of cash
 payments is expected to be paid over a three year period for estimated
 lease payments and carrying costs to be incurred during the period in
 which leases are terminated and properties sold.
 
 The Company began the closing and liquidation of its Grossman's stores on
 March 28, 1996.  The Company entered into an Agency Agreement for the

 NOTE 2 - RESTRUCTURING, REFINANCING AND UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA
 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 liquidation of inventories at closed stores, and payments for inventory
 totalling approximately $34.0 million were received between March and June
 1996.  All stores were closed by the end of May 1996.  Concurrent with the
 timing of the store closings, administrative support functions in the
 Company's headquarters were reduced.  Additional reductions will result
 upon the completion of certain remaining administrative functions.  Upon
 completion, the Company's total workforce will have been reduced from
 approximately 3,400 to 1,800.
 
 Four transactions were undertaken to improve liquidity.  The $15.8 million
 note receivable from Kmart Corporation was sold in March 1996.  The
 Company's 14% Debentures due January 1996 were refinanced, with cash and
 notes issued in April 1996.  A $33.0 million mortgage loan, secured by
 owned properties, was funded in April 1996.  A new $50.0 million long-term
 revolving credit agreement, with increased borrowing availability, was
 signed in May 1996.
 
 In December 1995, the Company announced that it was renegotiating the
 $16.2 million of 14% Debentures and related interest due in January 1996. 
 In March 1996, settlement with holders of these Debentures was reached. 
 Holders were paid in April 1996 for principal and interest due, in a
 combination of cash and notes payable.  Cash payments totalled
 approximately $12 million.  Convertible notes payable of $3 million due in
 three years, with interest payable semi-annually at 10% per annum, were
 issued.  These notes are convertible at the holder's option into shares of
 Common Stock at $1.30 per share.  On each of April 9, July 9, and July 26,
 1996, $500 thousand was converted into 384,615 shares of Common Stock, for
 a total of 1,153,845 shares converted.  An additional $2.7 million of non-
 convertible notes payable, with interest payable semi-annually at 15% per
 annum, were also issued.  These notes are due in three years and may be
 repaid prior to maturity from proceeds of real estate sales, after full
 repayment of the mortgage notes described below.  Interest on these notes
 may be deferred at the Company's option.
 
 The Company's $15.8 million note receivable from Kmart Corporation,
 originally discounted for financial reporting purposes to $12.4 million,
 was sold for cash of $13.0 million on March 22, 1996.
 
 In April 1996, GRS Realty Company, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company,
 issued $33.0 million of mortgage notes payable to a non-affiliated
 investor group.  The mortgage notes are secured by both closed and
 operating owned properties conveyed to GRS Realty Company, Inc. and are
 required to be repaid with proceeds from the sale of closed stores.   The
 mortgage notes include $2.9 million of notes which are non-interest
 bearing and were repaid from the first sale of properties.  An additional
 $4.0 million of notes are non-interest bearing and convertible into Common
 Stock at $0.75 per share, subsequent to repayment of the mortgage notes. 
 The remaining $26.1 million of notes bear interest at 15% per annum,
 payable monthly, and include a right to convert $2.0 million into shares
 of Common Stock at $1.50 per share upon certain events, including default
 at maturity.  As of June 30, 1996, $9.6 million of the interest bearing
 note had been repaid.  Subsequent to June 30, 1996, an additional $4.8
 million was paid.  Minimum required principal payments remaining after
 these payments are as follows: $2.2 million is due by October 1997 and the
 remainder is due by April 1998.  Fees due under the various notes,
 totalling $2.9 million, were paid in April 1996 upon the loan closing.

 NOTE 2 - RESTRUCTURING, REFINANCING AND UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA
 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 The pro forma balance sheet adjustments also reflect the retirement of
 $3.4 million of mortgage notes paid in April 1996.
 
 In May 1996, the Company received a three-year line of credit for
 borrowings up to $50 million, including letters of credit up to $15
 million, under a formula based on a percentage of qualified inventory and 
 accounts receivable.  The new agreement replaces the revolving credit
 agreement previously in effect.  Borrowings pursuant to this new agreement
 are secured by inventory, receivables and other assets.  The new
 agreement, which provides interest at 1% over Prime Rate, contains no
 financial ratio covenants or dollar limitations on spending for new store
 properties.  
 
 The following unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements have been
 prepared in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and
 Exchange Commission, giving effect to the restructuring and refinancing
 plan transactions as if they had been completed, for balance sheet
 purposes, on June 30, 1996 and, for statement of operations purposes, on
 January 1, 1996.  The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative
 of the results that would have been reported had such events actually
 occurred on the dates specified, nor is it indicative of the Company's
 future results.

 In May 1996, the Company received a three year line of credit for
 borrowings up to $50 million, including letters of credit up to $15
 million, under a formula based on a percentage of qualified inventory and
 accounts receivable.  The new agreement replaces the revolving credit
 agreement previously in effect.  Borrowings pursuant to this new agreement
 are secured by inventory, receivables and other assets.  The new
 agreement, which bears interest at 1% over Prime Rate, contains no
 financial ratio covenants or dollar limitations on spending for new store
 properties.
 
 At June 30, 1996, cash borrowings under the Company's new loan and
 security agreement totalled $20.3 million and outstanding standby letters
 of credit totalled $8.8 million.  The maximum borrowings under this new
 agreement during the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $31.1 million,
 including letters of credit of $8.8 million.  The weighted average annual
 interest rate on such borrowings was 11.1%.  At June 30, 1996, the loan
 and security agreement provided for borrowings of $39.1 million.
 
 Upon entering into the loan and security agreement, the Company's prior
 revolving credit agreement with BankAmerica Business Credit, Inc. was
 terminated.  The maximum borrowings in 1996 under this agreement were
 $52.3 million, including letters of credit of $9.2 million.  The maximum
 borrowings in 1995 under this agreement was $63.1 million, including
 letters of credit of $11.8 million.  The weighted average annual interest
 rate on such borrowings in 1996 and 1995 was 9.9% and 9.5%, respectively.
 
 In April 1996, the Company repaid $3.4 million of outstanding mortgage
 notes.

 agreements funded in April 1996, repayment of mortgage notes, conversions

 ITEM 2.      
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ---------------------------------------------
 
 FINANCIAL CONDITION
 -------------------
 
 June 30, 1996 Compared with December 31, 1995
 ---------------------------------------------
 
 Financial condition at June 30, 1996 reflects the actions taken with
 regard to the restructuring and refinancing plan announced on March 28,
 1996.  Under this plan, the remaining 60 Grossman's stores were closed and
 several actions were taken to improve liquidity.  A $40.2 million
 restructuring charge was recorded in March 1996.  The total non-cash
 portion of the reserve was approximately $22.2 million; $12.8 million for
 inventory liquidation costs and $9.4 million for the net unrecoverable
 amount of property, plant and equipment.  Estimated severance payments,
 most of which had been completed as of June 30, 1996, total $8.0 million. 
 Estimated additional cash payments total $10.0 million, including $6.0
 million paid through June 30, 1996, for incremental professional fees,
 including consultants, attorneys, accountants, environmental surveys,
 title fees, inventory liquidation fee and property due diligence fees. 
 The remaining $4.0 million of cash payments are expected to be paid over a
 three year period for estimated lease payments and carrying costs to be
 incurred during the period in which leases are terminated and properties
 sold.
 
 All stores operating under the name "Grossman's" were closed by the end of
 May 1996.  The Company entered into an Agency Agreement for the
 liquidation of inventories at closed stores, and payments for inventory
 totalling approximately $34.0 million were received between March and June
 1996.  Furniture, fixtures and equipment in the stores were also
 liquidated during this time period, with net proceeds of approximately
 $3.0 million.  Forty of the stores closed were owned and have been
 actively marketed for sale, along with 15 other owned surplus properties
 which were already being marketed for sale.  Through early August 1996, 20
 properties have been sold and 35 properties continue to be actively
 marketed.
 
 Four transactions were undertaken to improve liquidity.  The $15.8 million
 note receivable from Kmart Corporation, originally discounted for
 financial reporting purposes to $12.4 million, was sold for cash of $13.0
 million in March 1996.  The Company's 14% Debentures were refinanced, with
 cash and notes issued in April 1996.  A $33.0 million mortgage loan,
 secured by owned properties was obtained, with funding in April 1996.  A
 new $50.0 million long-term revolving credit agreement, with increased
 borrowing availability, was signed in May 1996.  
 
 The $16.2 million of 14% Debentures and related interest, which were due
 in January 1996, were refinanced in April 1996 with a combination of cash
 and notes payable.  Cash payments totalled approximately $12 million. 
 Convertible notes payable of $3 million due in three years, with interest
 payable semi-annually at 10% per annum, were issued.  These notes are
 convertible at the holder's option into shares of Common Stock at $1.30
 per share.  On each of April 9, July 9, and July 26, 1996, notes for $500
 thousand were converted into 384,615 shares of Common Stock, for a total
 of 1,153,845 shares converted.  An additional $2.7 million of
 non-convertible notes payable, with interest payable semi-annually at 15%
 per annum, were also issued.  These notes are due in three years and may

 FINANCIAL CONDITION

 June 30, 1996 Compared with December 31, 1995 (CONTINUED)
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 
 be repaid prior to maturity from proceeds of real estate sales, after full
 repayment of the mortgage notes described below.  Interest on these notes
 may be deferred at the Company's option.
 
 In April 1996, GRS Realty Company, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company,
 issued $33.0 million of mortgage notes payable to a non-affiliated
 investor group.  The mortgage notes are secured by both closed and
 operating owned properties conveyed to GRS Realty Company, Inc. and are
 required to be repaid with proceeds from the sale of closed stores.  The
 mortgage notes include $2.9 million of notes which are non-interest
 bearing and were repaid from the first sale of properties.  An additional
 $4.0 million of notes are non-interest bearing and convertible into Common
 Stock at $0.75 per share, subsequent to repayment of the mortgage notes. 
 The remaining $26.1 million of notes bear interest at 15% per annum,
 payable monthly, and include a right to convert $2.0 million into shares
 of Common Stock at $1.50 per share upon certain events, including default
 at maturity.
 
 During and following the second quarter of 1996, significant progress was
 made with respect to sales of the 55 surplus properties and payment of the
 mortgage notes.  As of June 30, 1996, 14 properties had been sold, with
 net proceeds of $12.5 million.  Six additional properties, with net
 proceeds of $4.8 million, were sold in July and early August, and the
 remaining 35 properties continue to be actively marketed.  Minimum
 required payments for the total series of mortgage notes have been met
 with respect to $4.5 million due in October 1996 and $6.0 million due in
 April 1997.  In addition, $6.8 million of the required $9.0 million due in
 October 1997 has been paid.  The remainder of the notes are due in April
 1998.  Fees due under the various notes, totalling $2.9 million, were paid
 in April 1996 upon the loan closing.  
 
 In May 1996, the Company entered into a three year line of credit for
 borrowings up to $50 million, including letters of credit up to $15
 million, under a formula based upon a percentage of qualified inventory
 and accounts receivable.  The new agreement replaces the revolving credit
 agreement previously in effect.  Borrowings pursuant to this new agreement
 are secured by inventory, receivables and other assets.  The new
 agreement, which bears interest at 1% over Prime Rate, contains no
 financial ratio covenants or dollar limitations on spending for new stores
 properties.  At June 30, 1996, cash borrowings under the new loan and
 security agreement totalled $20.3 million, outstanding standby letters of
 credit totalled $8.8 million, and availability under the loan totalled
 $10.0 million.  Management anticipates the use of the revolving credit
 facility throughout the remainder of 1996 and beyond, with availability
 sufficient to meet requirements. 
 
 In April 1996, the Company repaid $3.4 million of outstanding mortgage
 notes.
 
 Receivables, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at June
 30, 1996, compared to December 31, 1995, reflect the closing of the
 Grossman's stores.  Inventory supply problems, which were experienced
 during the first quarter, normalized during the second quarter, as vendors

 FINANCIAL CONDITION

 June 30, 1996 Compared with December 31, 1995 (CONTINUED)

 were paid for amounts due.  The final $2.0 million of payments due former
 suppliers of Grossman's stores were paid in July 1996.  At June 30, 1996,
 all stores were considered adequately stocked with inventory.
 
 Property held for sale totals $43.0 million at June 30, 1996, reflecting
 the book value of owned real property.  Market values of real property are
 expected to exceed book values and, in accordance with generally accepted
 accounting principles, gains, if any, will be deferred until final sales
 disposition.
 
 
 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 ---------------------
 
 Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with six months ended

 Results of operations include both the results of ongoing operations and
 of the Grossman's stores, whose operations terminated on March 28, 1996,
 as previously described.  Pro forma results of operations, which exclude
 the Grossman's stores, are presented in the Notes To Financial Statements.
 
 Sales and results of operations throughout the first six months of 1996
 were affected by first quarter inventory supply problems and
 out-of-stock-situations.  During the second quarter, vendor relationships
 were reestablished, vendors were paid for past obligations, inventory
 positions returned to required levels, and substantial progress was made
 toward reestablishing customer relationships, which had been strained
 during the period of inventory shortages.  Efforts are continuing to both
 renew old and establish new customer relationships.

 Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with six months ended 
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 June 30, 1995 (CONTINUED)
 -------------------------
 
 Sales results also reflect other store openings and closings.  The 1996
 results include the results of three Contractors' Warehouse stores opened
 in 1995, two of which were opened subsequent to the second quarter, and
 one store opened in mid-May 1996.  The 1996 results also include the sales
 of two Mr. 2nd's Bargain Outlets opened in 1995, one which opened late in
 the first quarter and one subsequent to the first quarter, and three
 stores opened in March 1996.  The 1996 results exclude the results of 18
 Grossman's stores which closed in late 1995.  Additionally, Contractors'
 Warehouse sales results in 1995 reflect heavy rainfall in California in
 the months of January and March, which were partially offset by second
 quarter increases.
 
 Gross profit declined by $28.0 million, reflecting the closing of the
 Grossman's stores, the store openings described above, and an increase in
 gross margin from 23.6% in 1995 to 23.8% in 1996.  A first quarter gross
 margin decline from 24.4% in 1995 to 23.5% in 1996 was offset by a second
 quarter increase from 23.1% in 1995 to 24.2% in 1996.  The first quarter
 declines reflected the increase in Contractors' Warehouse sales, which
 focus on lower margin professional sales, as a percent of total sales. 
 First quarter 1996 margins were also affected by the Company's inability
 to avoid out-of-stock situations.  The margin increase in the second
 quarter principally related to margins on commodity lumber.  Commodity
 lumber margins, which were extremely low in 1995 due to falling prices,
 recovered in 1996 when prices were relatively stable. 
 
 Selling and administrative expenses declined by $16.5 million from 1995 to
 1996 and increased as a percent of sales from 24.2% in 1995 to 30.4% in
 1996, both resulting from the effect of downsizing.  Selling and
 administrative expenses, the largest component of which is payroll, are
 expected to remain at higher than historic percentages of sales, due to
 the Company's structure following the downsizing.   Management continues
 to reevaluate and adjust administrative service levels and functions,
 which is expected to yield future savings.
 
 Depreciation and amortization declined from $5.9 million in 1995 to  $2.8
 million in 1996, reflecting the store closings, partially offset by
 depreciation for new stores.  Depreciation for ongoing operations was
 approximately $1.0 million in both the first and second quarters of 1996,
 as limited capital spending has occurred. 
 
 As a result of the restructuring and refinancing plan, the Company
 recorded a $40.2 million restructuring charge in the first quarter of 1996
 related to severance costs, lease payments, inventory liquidation costs,
 other expenses and the net unrecoverable amount of property plant and
 equipment.
 
 Store preopening expense increased from $145 thousand in 1995 to $756
 thousand in 1996, reflecting the store opening activity described above.
 
 Interest expense declined from $4.3 million in 1995 to $2.6 million,
 reflecting lower revolving credit borrowings, lower levels of capital
 lease obligations as a result of closing stores in both 1995 and 1996, 
 and savings related to long-term debt paid as part of the refinancing. 
 Interest expense is expected to continue to decline as properties are sold
 and mortgage debt is paid.

 Other income increased by $686 thousand due primarily to an increase in
 tool rental income in both new and existing Contractors' Warehouse stores.

 A net loss of $2.9 million for the second quarter of 1996 compared with
 net income of $1.1 million in 1995.  The lingering effects of first
 quarter inventory supply problems and out-of-stock situations affected
 sales and results of operations throughout the second quarter, although to
 a lesser extent as the quarter progressed.  Second quarter sales in 1995
 include $114.1 million from the now closed Grossman's stores.  Sales from
 ongoing operations increased by 9.8% from 1995 to 1996, reflecting sales
 from the new stores described above, offset in part by a 7.3% comparable
 store sales decline.
 
 Gross profit declined by $23.5 million, reflecting the closing of the
 Grossman's stores, the store openings described above, and an increase in
 gross margin from 23.1% in 1995 to 24.2% in 1996, principally related to
 margins on commodity lumber.  Commodity lumber margins, which were
 extremely low in 1995 due to falling prices, recovered in 1996 when prices
 were relatively stable. 
 
 Selling and administrative expenses declined by $16.5 million from 1995 to
 1996, but increased as a percent of sales from 20.3% in 1995 to 26.1% in
 1996, both resulting from the effect of downsizing.   Selling and
 administrative expenses, the largest component of which is payroll, are
 expected to remain at higher than historic percentages of sales, due to
 the Company's structure following the downsizing.  Management continues to
 reevaluate and adjust administrative service levels and functions, which
 is expected to yield future savings.
 
 Depreciation and amortization declined from $2.9 million in 1995 to $1.0
 million in 1996, reflecting the store closings, partially offset by
 depreciation for new stores.  Depreciation for ongoing operations was
 approximately $1.0 million in the second quarter of 1996.
 
 Store preopening expense, which was insignificant in the 1995 first
 quarter, totalled $395 thousand in 1996, reflecting the store opening
 activity described above.
 
 Interest expense declined from $2.1 million in 1995 to $1.0 million, 
 reflecting lower revolving credit borrowings, lower levels of capital
 lease obligations as a result of closing stores in both 1995 and 1996, and
 savings related to long-term debt paid as part of the refinancing.  
 Interest expense is expected to continue to decline as properties are sold
 and mortgage debt is paid. 
 
 Other income increased by $410 thousand due primarily to an increase in
 tool rental income in both new and existing Contractors' Warehouse stores.
