                      FAY'S INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                October 28, 1995


(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 28, 1995 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.  The average number of shares of common stock and
dilutive common stock equivalents used to calculate earnings per share were
20,901,500 and 20,404,914 for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 1995 and
October 29, 1994, respectively, and 20,829,593 and 20,361,766 for the thirty-
nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994, respectively.

(3)  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 20, 1995, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its
Wheels Discount Auto Supply Division ("Wheels") to Western Auto Supply Company,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Co..  The agreement provides for
payment, in cash, of $36,965,000 for specified assets consisting primarily of
inventories and store fixed assets.  The purchase price was based on the net
book value of such assets as of July 29, 1995 and will be adjusted for changes
in the net book value of those assets up to the closing date, which was November
30, 1995.  The purchase price will also be subject to audit.  Western did not
assume liabilities of the Wheels Division, primarily consisting of trade
payables, and therefore the net proceeds will be used in part to liquidate such
outstanding amounts along with other costs of the transaction.

The Wheels Division is reported as a discontinued operation and the consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to separately report its operating
results.  The Company's prior year operating results have been restated to
reflect continuing operations.  Operating results of the discontinued business
were as follows:

(4)  LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company's 9.77% and 9.59% unsecured senior notes, along with its revolving
term loan, contain  certain covenants and restrictions, including among other
terms, a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a specified fixed charge
ratio (as defined).  At October 28, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with
this provision, however, waivers have been obtained from the underlying lending
institutions through October 28, 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."  At October 28,1995, the Company was
operating 217 Fay's Drug stores, 58 traditional drug stores, and 30 discount
office supply, party supply, book and greeting card stores under the name "The
Paper Cutter."  Since the end of the third quarter of last year the Company has
acquired one and opened five new Fay's Drug stores, closed and combined four of
its traditional drug stores, and closed two Paper Cutter stores.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has entered an
agreement to sell its Wheels division which consisted of  81 stores at October
28, 1995.  This division is reported as a discontinued operation in the
financial statements, and for the thirty-nine weeks incurred a net loss of
$84,000 in fiscal 1996 compared to earnings of $807,000 in the previous year.
This reduction was due to a decrease in comparable store sales and was
reflective of competitive and weather related factors.

Net earnings from continuing operations were $1,328,000 in the third quarter
compared to $2,205,000 in the third quarter of last year.  For the thirty-nine
weeks net earnings from continuing operations were $3,049,000 in the current
year compared to $5,953,000 in fiscal 1995.

Sales for the third quarter and for the first three quarters of fiscal 1996 were
$250.2 and $744.8 million, respectively, representing increases of 3.7% and 5.5%
over the same periods a year earlier.  Sales from comparable stores (those open
one year or more as of October 28, 1995) increased 1.3% for the quarter and 1.2%
for the thirty-nine weeks.  The overall sales increases are reflective of
increases in pharmacy sales which increased 9.4% and 13.1% for the three and
nine months, respectively, while comparable stores increased 6.9% and 7.2%,
respectively.

The gross profit rate on sales was 26.78% in the third quarter compared to
28.34% for the same period last year.  For the nine months, the gross profit
rate decreased from 28.07% last year to 27.12%.  These declines were largely
attributable to continued pressures on third party pharmacy margins, combined
with the trend of third party prescription sales accounting for a greater
portion of total pharmacy revenues.  Third party pharmacy sales were over 79% of
total pharmacy sales in the first three quarters compared to approximately 72%
in the previous year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.7% of sales for the quarter
compared to 24.5% last year, and for the three quarters decreased from 24.2% to
24.1%.  The decrease during the third quarter was due to efforts aimed at
reducing costs and due to reductions in expenses which are tied to earnings such
as bonuses and profit-sharing.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At October 28, 1995, the Company had cash of $1.6 million and total working
capital of $88.4 million.  Cash flow from operations totaled $25.6 million and
was used primarily for expenditures on property and equipment, the payment of
cash dividends, and reductions in debt obligations.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financials statements the Company sold its Wheels
Division in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. Proceeds of the sale will be
available to reduce debt and to make further investments in the Company's drug
store operations. The Company also continues to pursue the divestiture of its
other non-drug store retail business, The Paper Cutter.

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.
