              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  July 30, 1994


(1) STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of Management, the information
contained herein reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods.  The
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read with the
financial statements and notes included in the Company's latest Annual Report on
Form 10-K.  The January 29,1994 balance sheet data is derived from audited
financial statements.

(2) COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share data are based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents (stock options) with a dilutive effect
outstanding during the period, where applicable.  The average number of shares
of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents used to calculate earnings
per share were 20,343,227 and 20,067,558 for the thirteen weeks ended July 30,
1994 and July 31, 1993, respectively, and 20,340,193 and 19,982,108 for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993 respectively.


(3) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING

Effective January 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other than Pensions" ("SFAS No. 106").  SFAS No. 106 requires the Company to
accrue the estimated cost of retiree benefit payments during the years the
employee provides services.  The Company previously expensed the cost of these
benefits, which are principally health care, as claims were incurred. The
Company elected to recognize in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 the cumulative
effect of this obligation resulting in a one-time charge against net earnings of
$4,805,992, net of $3,203,995 in income tax benefits.

(4) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, Employer's Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.
This Statement is effective for the Company's fiscal 1995 financial statements.
The effect of this Statement on the Company's consolidated financial statements
is not anticipated to be material.

1994 is $1,259,000 pertaining to this acquisition which will be paid in the
third quarter of fiscal 1995.

In the second quarter of fiscal 1995 the Company also purchased the capital
stock of Peterson Drug Company of Western New York, Inc., which operated twelve
Peterson Drug Stores.  Included in other current liabilities at July 30, 1994 is
$6,616,000 pertaining to this acquisition which will be paid in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995.

                       FAY'S INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's principal business is the operation of a chain of super drug
stores under the name "Fay's Drugs."  As of July 30, 1994, the Company was
operating 210 Fay's Drug stores, 64 traditional drug stores, 63 discount auto
supply stores under the name "Wheels Discount Auto Supply," and 31 discount
office supply, party supply, book and greeting card stores under the name "The
Paper Cutter."  On June 15, 1994 the Company acquired the assets of 26 National
Auto Supply Stores in New York and four Whitlock Auto Supply stores in
Pennsylvania.  On July 30, 1994 these acquired stores were being converted into
Wheels Discount Auto Supply stores.  The Company also acquired twelve
traditional drug stores via the purchase of the capital stock of Peterson Drug
Company of Western New York, Inc. in July of 1994.

Since the end of the second quarter of the previous fiscal year, the Company has
also opened two Fay's Drug stores, three Wheels Discount Auto Supply stores,
five Paper Cutter stores, and acquired 13 traditional drug stores.  During the
same period, the Company closed 2 traditional drug stores and converted three
traditional drug stores to Fay's Drug stores.  The Company also closed one
Wheels Discount Auto Supply store and one acquired National Auto Supply Store in
the second quarter of fiscal 1995.

Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were $2,581,000 as compared
to $3,066,000 in the second quarter of the previous year.  Fiscal 1994 second
quarter net earnings included an unusual gain of $481,000, after tax, resulting
from the termination of obligations under leases for two of the nine Paper
Cutter stores closed during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  For the first
half of fiscal 1995, earnings before the effect of the accounting change for
postretirement benefits were $4,554,000 compared to $1,969,000 in fiscal 1994.
Included in fiscal 1994 year-to-date earnings are charges, after tax, of
$2,352,000 pertaining to the Paper Cutter closings. Excluding the charges for
the Paper Cutter closings and the change in accounting, net earnings for the
first half of fiscal 1995 increased 5.4% from $4,321,000 in fiscal 1994.

Sales for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 1995 were $252.4 and
$491.4 million, respectively, representing increases of 13.7% and 12.0% over the
same periods a year ago.  Sales for comparable stores (those open one year or
more as of July 30, 1994) increased 4.8% for the quarter and 5.2% for the first
half of fiscal 1995.  Sales increases are reflective of a 19.7% increase in
total pharmacy sales for the quarter and a 9.7% increase in pharmacy sales from
comparable stores for the quarter.  Excluding the effect of closed stores, total
sales for the quarter and first half of fiscal 1995 increased 14.3% and 13.2%,
respectively,

The gross profit rate on sales was 28.52% in the second quarter of fiscal 1994
compared to 29.46% for the same period last year.  For the first half of fiscal
1995, the gross profit rate decreased to 28.67% from 29.60% in the previous
year.  The decline in gross profit is attributable to continued pressures on
third party pharmacy margins, an increase in third party prescription sales as a
percentage of total pharmacy sales, and a continued decline in the gross profit
rate for the Paper Cutter stores.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
24.33% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to 24.71% for the same
period last year.  For the first two quarters, these expenses decreased from
25.16% in fiscal 1994 to 24.56% of sales.  These decreases are due in part to
the leveraging of payroll expenditures in connection with sales increases,
continued expense controls, reduced occupancy expenses as a percentage of sales
due also in part to the closure of underperforming locations within the past 12
months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


At July 30, 1994, the Company had cash of $2.8 million and total working capital
of $107.1 million.  Cash flow from operations totaled $7.4 million and was used
primarily for property and equipment expenditures, the payment of cash
dividends, and reductions in long-term obligations.  Fiscal 1995 acquisitions
have been funded primarily by additional long-term borrowings.


The Company continues to maintain a sound financial position and believes that
its operations and capital resources will provide sufficient cash availability
to meet its liquidity needs and to finance planned growth.
