                      FAY'S INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 April 27, 1996


(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 27, 1996 balance sheet data is derived from audited
financial statements.

(2)  COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which is effective for the Company in fiscal 1997.  SFAS No. 123
requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation arrangements with
employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation cost to be measured
based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded.  Companies are
permitted, however, to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25, which recognizes
compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded.
The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock-based
compensation awards to employees and will disclose the required pro forma effect
on net income and earnings per share in its fiscal 1997 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

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
21,066,350 and 20,728,787 for the thirteen weeks ended April 27, 1996 and April
29, 1995, respectively.

(3)  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In June 1996, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive
agreement to sell the inventory and store assets of its Paper Cutter Division to
Party Experience Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Party Stores Holdings, Inc.,
for approximately $14 million in cash.  The purchase price was based on the net
book value of such assets as of January 27, 1996 and will be subject to
adjustment for changes up to the closing date which is anticipated to be in
August 1996.  Party Experience Inc. did not assume liabilities of the Paper
Cutter 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 Company provided for the anticipated loss
on disposal, as well as for estimated operating losses during the phase-out
period, in fiscal 1996 and believes that such provisions are adequate.


The Company also sold its Wheels Discount Auto Supply Division in November 1995.
Both the Wheels and Paper Cutter Divisions are reported as discontinued
operations and the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
separately report their operating results.  The Company's prior year operating
results have been restated to reflect continuing operations.  Net sales for the
discontinued operations totalled $11,000,000 and $30,792,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended April 27, 1996 and April 29, 1995, respectively.

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

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 April 27, 1996, the Company was
operating 220 Fay's Drug stores and 52 traditional drug stores.  Since the end
of the first quarter of last year the Company has acquired one super drug store,
opened two new Fay's Drug stores and converted five traditional drug stores to
super drug stores.  In addition, it has closed five traditional drug stores and
two super drug stores, and has combined their operations with other existing
super drug stores.

As part of the Company's strategy of concentrating its focus and resources on
core drug store and related pharmacy businesses, the Company sold its Wheels
Discount Auto Supply Division during fiscal 1996 and began negotiations to sell
its Paper Cutter Division.  Consequently, the results of these two divisions
have been segregated in the statement of income as discontinued operations and
the Company's prior year operating results have been restated to reflect
continuing operations.

Net income was $2,069,000 for the first quarter ended April 27, 1996 compared to
$771,000 in the first quarter of last year.  Included in last year's results
were losses of $716,000 relating to discontinued operations.  Income from
continuing operations increased 39% over the prior year.

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $248.6 million representing an
increase of 5.5% over the same period last year.  Sales from comparable stores
(those open one year or more as of April 27, 1996) increased 4.4% for the
quarter including an 8.3% increase in pharmacy sales.

The gross profit rate on sales was 25.95% in the first quarter compared to
27.31% for the same period last year. The decline was 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 83% of total pharmacy
sales in the first quarter compared to approximately 78% in the previous year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $481,000 from the prior
year and, as a percentage of sales, declined from 24.0% to 22.6%.  This decrease
reflects a number of efforts aimed at reducing costs, including steps taken in
late fiscal 1996 to eliminate certain corporate administration and supervisory
layers.  In addition, efforts to contain costs in the Company's retail locations
resulted in the favorable leveraging of sales increases and a decline in the
level of store-level expenses as a percentage of sales.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Management believes that the Company is in sound financial condition, and that
its operations and capital resources will provide sufficient cash availability
to meet its liquidity needs and to finance planned growth.

The Company's cash requirements arise primarily from the need to finance the
opening and equipping of new stores, the purchase of inventory, debt service,
and the payment of dividends.  At April 27, 1996, the Company had cash of $1.5
million and total working capital of $72.2 million.  Cash flow used by
operations totaled $723,000 reflecting reductions in a number of liabilities.
During the first quarter there were payments related to obligations associated
with the discontinued Wheels Division including the liquidation of trade
liabilities, professional fees related to the sale and severance.  The final
payment for the sale of Wheels (approximately $3.6 million) was received
subsequent to the end of the first quarter.  In addition, the Company made a
final payment of approximately $1 million related to a June 1994 acquisition.
Cash was also used for expenditures on property and equipment and for the
payment of cash dividends.
