                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  (Dollars in millions, except per-share data)
                                  (Unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for the annual presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

         In the opinion of Kmart Corporation, all adjustments necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included.  All
adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         Discontinued operations include the results of PayLess Drug Stores
Northwest, Inc. and PACE Membership Warehouse, Inc. which have been
reclassified to reflect their respective plans for disposition announced in the
fourth quarter of 1993.  In January 1994, PACE sold the assets and lease
obligations of 93 of its warehouses and virtually all of the inventory and
membership files in the 34 warehouses not included in the transaction to Sam's
Club, a division of Wal*Mart.  Operations of the 34 remaining PACE sites not
included in the transaction were discontinued, and PACE is in the process of
evaluating and marketing these leased sites as well as leased premises for
unopened warehouses and corporate facilities.

         In addition, in April 1994, Kmart sold its PayLess Drug Stores
subsidiary to Thrifty PayLess Holdings, Inc. (TPH) and its subsidiary Thrifty
PayLess, Inc. for approximately $595 in cash, $100 in Senior Notes of TPH and
approximately 46% of the common equity of TPH.  Of the cash proceeds, $50 has
been invested in Senior Subordinated Notes of Thrifty PayLess, Inc. which Kmart
subsequently sold in May 1994 at a slight premium.  It is Kmart Corporation's
intention to divest substantially all of its interest in TPH within one year.
Management expects the disposition to be achieved either through a private
offering or other alternative means.  Accordingly, Kmart Corporation has
reported PayLess as a discontinued operation and has recorded its investment in
TPH at net realizable value.

         Kmart Corporation called for early redemption in June 1994 of all $300
of its 8 3/8% debentures due January 15, 2017 using the proceeds of the sale of
the PayLess Drug Stores subsidiary to redeem the issue.  The resulting
redemption premium and associated cost of $18, net of applicable income taxes,
was recorded in 1993 as part of the loss on disposal of discontinued operations.
Accordingly, the $300 principal amount has been included in the current portion
of long-term debt.


EXTRAORDINARY ITEM AND ACCOUNTING CHANGES

         In August 1993, Kmart Corporation called for early redemption of all
$200 of its 8 1/8% debentures due January 1, 1997.  The debentures were
redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus interest accrued to the date of
redemption.  In April 1993, Kmart Corporation called for early redemption of
all $200 of its 10 1/2% Sinking Fund Debentures due December 1, 2017.  The
resulting redemption premium of $10, net of applicable income taxes, has been
reported as an extraordinary item.

         Kmart Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109) in the first quarter of 1993.  FAS 109
requires that deferred taxes be calculated using the liability approach rather
than the deferred method.  In addition, the standard requires adjustment of
deferred tax liabilities to reflect enacted changes in the statutory federal
income tax rate.  As a result of the adjustment of deferred tax balances to the
enacted tax rate at the date of adoption, a benefit of $45, or $0.10 per
share, has been recorded as the cumulative effect of the accounting change.

         Kmart Corporation also adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 106
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" 
(FAS 106) at the beginning of fiscal 1993.  This statement requires that Kmart
Corporation accrue for future postretirement medical benefits.  In prior years,
these claims were expensed when paid.  Net of applicable tax, a charge of $77,
or $0.17 per share, has been included in net income as the effect of an
accounting change.

ACQUISITION

         On March 4, 1993, OfficeMax, Inc. purchased all of the outstanding
shares of BizMart, Inc. ("BizMart"), a chain of 105 office products
superstores.  During 1993, BizMart was completely integrated into OfficeMax
operations and BizMart stores converted to the OfficeMax format.  The excess of
the cost over fair value of the assets acquired totaled $186.  This acquisition
has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the results of
operations have been consolidated from the date of acquisition.

INVENTORIES AND COST OF MERCHANDISE SOLD

         A substantial portion of the inventories is accounted for using the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.  If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of
inventory accounting had been used by Kmart Corporation, inventories would have
been $871, $1,044 and $861 higher than reported at April 27, 1994, April 28,
1993 and January 26, 1994, respectively.

         Sales for the 13 weeks ended April 27, 1994 were $7.81 billion, a
6.2% increase over sales of $7.35 billion in the same period in the prior year
(see table below).  Comparable store sales for the first quarter of 1994
increased 1.2% over the same period last year.  Comparable store sales were
affected by the major inventory mix adjustments and reductions that have been
made over the last six months.

                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-CONTINUED
                     FOR THE 13 WEEKS ENDED APRIL 27, 1994


         Cost of merchandise sold, including buying and occupancy costs, for the
13 weeks ended April 27, 1994 was $5,840 million as compared to $5,466 million
in the same period in the prior year.  Gross margin as a percent of sales was
25.2% and 25.7% in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The decrease, as a percent of
sales, primarily reflects the effect of lower than expected comparable store
sales on fixed occupancy costs and the increasing impact of the grocery
component of the Super Kmart Centers.  The impact of inflation included in the
cost of merchandise sold reduced pretax earnings by $11 million for the first
13 weeks of 1994 and $12 million for the comparable period of 1993.

         Selling, general and administrative expense for the 13 weeks ended
April 27, 1994 was $1,886 million, or 24.1% of sales, as compared to $1,744
million, or 23.7% of sales, in the same period in the prior year.  The increase
as a percent of sales resulted from lower than expected comparable store sales
which more than offset the cost control programs that have been implemented at
the Kmart store division.

         Operating income from continuing retail operations for the 13 weeks
ended April 27, 1994 was $145 million, or 1.9% of sales, as compared to $196
million, or 2.7% of sales, in the same period in the prior year (see table
below).  The decrease in operating income resulted primarily from the lower
gross margin and higher selling, general and administrative expense as a percent
of sales.

         Net interest expense for the 13 weeks ended April 27, 1994 was 
$124 million, or 1.6% of sales, as compared to $122 million, or 1.7% of sales,
for the same period in the prior year.  Net interest expense on debt was
down 9.5% in the 1994 first quarter, primarily as a result of reduced borrowings
resulting from lower inventory levels in the 1994 period and the early
retirement of high-cost, long-term debt in 1993.  Interest expense related to
capital lease obligations and other increased as a result of interest expense
related to the discounting of closed store lease obligations included in the
1993 store restructuring reserve.

         Income from continuing retail operations before income taxes for the
13 weeks ended April 27, 1994 was $28 million, or 0.4% of sales, as compared to
$83 million, or 1.1% of sales, in the same period last year.

         Income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended April 27, 1994 was $10
million with an effective tax rate of 34.5% as compared to $25 million with an
effective tax rate of 30.2% in the same period of 1993 due to a higher projected
annual tax rate for 1994, including the August 1993 1% increase in the
statutory federal corporate rate.

         Net income from continuing retail operations  before extraordinary
item and the effect of accounting changes for the 13 weeks ended April 27, 1994
was $18 million, or 0.2% of sales, as compared to $58 million, or 0.8% of
sales, in the same period last year.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-CONTINUED
                     FOR THE 13 WEEKS ENDED APRIL 27, 1994


         Net income from discontinued operations for the 13 weeks ended April
28, 1993 was $7 million, or 0.1% of sales.  Discontinued operations include the
results of PayLess Drug Stores Northwest, Inc. and PACE Membership Warehouse,
Inc. which have been reclassified to reflect their respective dispositions
announced in the fourth quarter of 1993.

         Extraordinary item.  In August 1993, Kmart Corporation called for
early redemption of all $200 million of its 8 1/8% debentures due January 1,
1997.  The debentures were redeemed at 100% of the principal amount plus
interest accrued to the date of redemption.  In April 1993, Kmart Corporation
called for early redemption of all $200 million of its 10 1/2% Sinking Fund
Debentures due December 1, 2017.  The resulting redemption premium of $10
million, net of applicable income taxes, has been reported as an extraordinary
item.

         Effect of accounting changes.  Kmart Corporation adopted Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109) in the
first quarter of 1993.  FAS 109 requires that deferred taxes be calculated
using the liability approach rather than the deferred method.  As a result of
the adjustment of deferred tax balances to the enacted tax rate at the date of
adoption, Kmart Corporation has recorded a benefit of $45 million, as  the
cumulative effect of an accounting change.

         Kmart Corporation also adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 106
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (FAS
106) at the beginning of fiscal 1993.  This statement requires that Kmart
Corporation accrue for future postretirement medical benefits.  In prior years,
these claims were expensed when paid.  Net of applicable tax, a charge of $77
million has been included in net income as the effect of an accounting change.

         In addition, Kmart Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standard
No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FAS 112) in the
first quarter of 1993.  FAS 112 is an extension of the concepts underlying FAS
106 for similar benefits provided to terminated or laid-off employees.  The
financial effects of this statement were not material.

         As the result of the foregoing factors, net income for the 13 weeks
ended April 27, 1994 was $18 million, or 0.2% of sales, as compared to $23
million, or 0.3% of sales, in the same period in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities
as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 13 weeks
ending April 27, 1994 are summarized below.  The net increase in cash and
equivalents for the 13 weeks ended April 27, 1994 was $201 million as compared
to a $195 million decrease in the same period in the prior year.

         Total cash provided by (used for) continuing retail operations for the
13 weeks ended April 27, 1994 was $56 million as compared to $(661) million in
the same period of 1993.  The change is primarily attributable to a lower rate
of increase in merchandise inventories and increased accounts payable financing
of inventory.

         Merchandise inventories, which were primarily accounted for under the
LIFO method of inventory valuation, decreased 19.8% to $7,815 million at April
27, 1994 from $9,747 million at April 28, 1993.  The decrease was largely the
result of the PACE and PayLess dispositions and the improved inventory
management in U.S. Kmart stores.  U.S. Kmart inventory was reduced by $892
million on a FIFO basis, or 11.8%.

         Total cash provided by discontinued operations for the 13 weeks ended
April 27, 1994 was $301 million as compared to $32 million in the same period
last year.  The increase was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the
sale of PayLess.

         Net cash used for investing for the 13 weeks ended April 27, 1994, was
$226 million as compared to $460 million in the same period last year.  The
decrease was primarily due to the prior year acquisition of BizMart.  The 13
weeks ended April 27, 1994 reflect the activity for the U.S. Kmart store
modernization program including 14 new locations, 22 relocations with 29
closings, 15 expansions and 3 refurbishments.

                     FOR THE 13 WEEKS ENDED APRIL 27, 1994

         Net cash provided by financing of $70 million during the 13 weeks
ended April 27, 1994 was attributable to a net increase in long-term debt and
notes payable of $220 million.  The $894 million provided by financing during
the 13 weeks ended April 28, 1993 was attributable to a $1,036 million net
increase in long-term debt and notes payable.  The decrease in proceeds from
notes payable is primarily attributable to lower borrowings resulting from
lower inventory levels.

         Kmart Corporation's working capital ratio was 1.6 at April 27, 1994
and 1.7 at April 28, 1993.  Total working capital at April 27, 1993 was $4,042
million compared with $4,593 million at April 28, 1993, a decrease of $551
million.
