The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain

statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and which are of a
normal, recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1,

As of October 31, 1998, there were 521,625 shares of Class A Common Stock and
1,395,957 shares of Class B Common Stock held as treasury stock at an aggregate
cost of $15,004,847, leaving 3,177,587 Class A shares and 1,521,799 Class B
shares outstanding.


3.       Earnings (Loss) Per Share
         -------------------------

Earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding, including the dilutive effect of stock options, if appropriate,
during each period. The weighted average number of shares used in the
calculation of basic earnings per share was 4,681,970 and 4,618,126 for the
third fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1998 and November 1, 1997, respectively,
and 4,671,518 and 4,597,042 for the three fiscal quarters ended October 31, 1998
and November 1, 1997, respectively. The weighted average number of shares used
in the calculation of diluted earnings per share was 4,729,095 and 4,618,126 for
the third fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1998 and November 1, 1997,
respectively, and 4,743,704 and 4,796,350 for the three fiscal quarters ended
October 31, 1998 and November 1, 1997, respectively.


4.       Seasonality
         -----------

The results of operations for the first three fiscal quarters ended October 31,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full
fiscal year. The convenience store industry in the Company's marketing areas
experiences a higher percentage of revenues and profit margins during the summer
months than during the winter months. Historically, the Company has achieved
more favorable financial results in its second and third fiscal quarters, as
compared to its first and fourth fiscal quarters.


5.       Unaudited Pro Forma Information
         -------------------------------

In fiscal year 1998, the Company sold 156 convenience store and gasoline
locations in the northeastern United States for $39.1 million. The principal
assets sold by the Company included inventories, convenience store and gasoline
fixtures and equipment, land, buildings, and building and leasehold
improvements. In fiscal year 1998, the Company also sold a former office and



                                      -6-

manufacturing facility in Ohio for $4.1 million. The resulting net pre-tax gain
of $3.6 million recognized in the fiscal year ended January 31, 1998 has been
excluded from the pro forma results shown below. The following unaudited pro
forma information of the Company for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1998 and
the first three fiscal quarters ended October 31, 1998, has been prepared
assuming that the asset sales had occurred as of the beginning of the fiscal
year ended January 31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma information is not
necessarily indicative of the results which would have been reported if the
transaction had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year ended January 31,
1998, or which may be reported in the future. The unaudited pro forma
information reflects the exclusion, for both fiscal periods shown, of historical
revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and direct and indirect
administrative expenses associated with the assets sold. Additionally, the
unaudited pro forma information reflects the elimination of historical interest
expense related to debt retired based on the assumption that proceeds from the
sale of assets had been received at the beginning of the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1998, and also reflects the elimination of the estimated income tax
effect of the associated excluded results of operations for the assets sold. The
unaudited pro forma information is as follows:

6.       Supplemental Consolidating Financial Information (unaudited)
         ------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's payment obligations under the Series A and Series B Senior
Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries
("Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed
on an unsecured, senior subordinated, joint and several basis by each of the
Guarantor Subsidiaries. The following supplemental financial information sets
forth, on a consolidating basis, statements of operations, balance sheets and
cash flow information for the Company ("Parent Company"), for the Guarantor
Subsidiaries and for Financial Opportunities, Inc. ("FINOP"), the Company's
non-guarantor subsidiary. Separate complete financial statements of the
respective Guarantor Subsidiaries would not provide additional information which
would be useful in assessing the financial condition of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries, and are omitted accordingly.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Parent Company on the
equity method for purposes of the supplemental consolidating presentation.
Earnings of the subsidiaries are, therefore, reflected in the Parent Company's
investment accounts and earnings. The principle elimination entries eliminate
the Parent Company's investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and
transactions.

              DAIRY MART CONVENIENCE STORES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           -----------------------------------------------------------
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                            -------------------------


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During fiscal year 1998, the Company sold 156 convenience store and retail
gasoline locations based in the northeastern United States for $39.1 million.
The Company also sold a former office and manufacturing facility for $4.1
million. The following discussion and analysis of Results of Operations is based
on unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations, as shown below,
for the current year first three fiscal quarters and current year third fiscal
quarter as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The
unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations as presented below
reflect exclusion, for all comparative fiscal periods shown, of the historical
revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, direct and indirect
administrative expenses, and the pre-tax gain associated with the assets sold.
Additionally, the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
reflect the elimination of historical interest expense related to the debt
retired based on the assumption that proceeds from the asset sales had been
received as of the beginning of the prior fiscal year, and also reflect the
elimination of the estimated income tax effect of the associated excluded
results of operations for the assets sold. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the comparative third fiscal quarter and the first
three fiscal quarters are as follows:

Convenience store revenues increased $19.6 million, or 9.0%, in the current year
first three fiscal quarters as compared to the prior year first three fiscal
quarters, and convenience store revenues for the current year third fiscal
quarter increased by $6.9 million, or 9.3%, as compared to the prior year third
fiscal quarter. These increases were primarily due to increases in comparable
company-operated store sales. The increase in comparable company-operated store
sales in the current year three fiscal quarters was 9.4%, and the increase in
comparable company-operated store sales for the current year third fiscal
quarter was 8.6%. In addition to these increases in comparable company-operated
store sales, the Company has opened sixteen new stores in the last twelve
months. These increases are partially offset by the closure and/or sale of 35
underperforming stores in the last twelve months. Although the reduction in
stores has a negative impact on revenues, it does not have a material adverse
effect on results of operations, because the majority of these stores closed
and/or sold had been operating at a loss.

Gasoline revenues decreased $11.6 million in the current year first three fiscal
quarters as compared to the prior year first three quarters, and gasoline
revenues for the current year third fiscal quarter decreased $1.2 million as
compared to the prior year third fiscal quarter. The decrease in gasoline
revenues for the first three fiscal quarters was due to a decrease in the
average selling price of gasoline of 16.0 cents per gallon, partially offset by
an increase in total gallons sold of 7.0 million. The decrease in gasoline
revenue for the third fiscal quarter was due to a decrease in the average
selling price of gasoline of 18.5 cents per gallon, partially offset by an
increase in total gallons sold of 6.0 million.

Convenience store gross profits increased by $6.9 million in the current year
first three fiscal quarters as compared to the prior year first three fiscal
quarters, and convenience store gross profits increased $2.6 million in the
current year third fiscal quarter as compared to the prior year third fiscal
quarter. These increases are primarily due to the increase in comparable store
sales, as described above.

Gasoline gross profits decreased $0.1 million in the current year first three
fiscal quarters as compared to the prior year first three fiscal quarters, and
gasoline gross profits increased $0.4 million in the current year third fiscal
quarter as compared to the prior year third fiscal quarter. The decrease in the
current year first three fiscal quarters was due to a decrease in gasoline gross
profit of 0.7 cents per gallon as compared to the prior year first three fiscal
quarters, offset by an increase in gasoline gallons sold, as described above.
The increase in the current year third fiscal quarter was primarily due to an
increase in gasoline gallons sold of 6.0 million as compared to the prior year
third fiscal quarter, partially offset by a decrease in gasoline gross profit of
0.6 cents per gallon.

Other gross profits increased by $1.9 million in the current year first three
fiscal quarters as compared to the prior year first three fiscal quarters, and
other gross profits increased $2.2 million in the current year third fiscal
quarter. These increases were primarily a result of a fee due the Company of
$3.0 million on the termination of a long-term ATM agreement. The Company's
former partner in the agreement has agreed to the termination fee in lieu of its
ongoing payment obligations under the agreement which were approximately
$130,000 per month. These increases were partially offset by the recognition
in the prior year third fiscal quarter of $0.6 million in interest income
associated with the retirement of the note receivable from DM Associates
Limited Partnership.


OPERATING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Operating and administrative expenses for the current year first three fiscal
quarters increased $5.1 million from the prior year first three fiscal quarters,
and operating and administrative expenses for the current year third fiscal
quarter increased $3.4 million from the prior year third fiscal quarter. The
increase in the current year first three fiscal quarters was primarily due to
higher store labor and depreciation expenses and certain expenses related to the
relocation of the Company's information processing center from Connecticut to
Ohio, partially offset by lower environmental remediation-related expense. The
increase in the current year third fiscal quarter was primarily due to higher
store labor and depreciation expenses and certain expenses related to the
relocation of the Company's information processing center.


INTEREST EXPENSE AND TAXES

Pro forma interest expense increased $0.2 million in the current year first
three fiscal quarters as compared to the prior year first three fiscal quarters,
and interest expense increased $0.1 million in the current year third fiscal
quarter as compared to the prior year third fiscal quarter. The increase in
interest expense is a result of the Company's increased borrowings under its
revolving line of credit.

The effective tax rate for the Company was a provision of 46% for both the
current year first three fiscal quarters and the current year third fiscal


                                      -19-
<PAGE>   20

quarter, respectively, and a benefit of 44% for each of the corresponding
periods of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generates substantial operating cash flow since most of its revenues
are received in cash. The amount of cash generated from operations significantly
exceeded the current debt service requirements of the Company's long-term
obligations. In May 1998 the Company received a $47.2 million forward commitment
that provides real estate sale/leaseback or mortgage financing on a long-term
basis. Additionally, the Company has a $30.0 million senior revolving credit
facility with $15.0 million available for issuance of letters of credit. The
Company uses the revolving line of credit to address the seasonality of
operations and the timing of capital expenditures and certain working capital
disbursements. As of October 31, 1998, the Company had $12.8 million in
outstanding revolving credit loans and had $7.9 million in outstanding letters
of credit.

The capital expenditures of the Company during the first three quarters of
fiscal year 1999 were funded by the borrowings under the Company's revolving
line of credit, proceeds from real estate sale/leasebacks, and excess operating
cash flow available after debt service. Management believes that the cash flow
from operations, the proceeds from the sale of assets held for sale or other
forms of long-term asset financing and/or leasing, supplemented by the
availability of the revolving credit facility, will provide the Company with
adequate liquidity and the capital necessary to achieve its expansion
initiatives in its retail operations (see "Capital Expenditures").


CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $2.2 million in the current
year first three fiscal quarters as compared to the corresponding period of the
prior year primarily due to a net unfavorable change in other assets and
liabilities, partially offset by a change in working capital accounts. The
unfavorable change in other assets and liabilities is a result of an increase in
certain liabilities in the prior year related to the sale of the 156
Northeastern stores and the Company's former manufacturing facility, 


                                      -20-
<PAGE>   21



as described above. The net favorable change in working capital was primarily
due to the timing of payments to the issuers of money orders and an increase in
trade accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in the average store
inventory required to support the increases in comparable store sales, as
described above, and an increase in accounts and notes receivable.


CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The Company anticipates spending approximately $20 to $25 million, net of
sale/leaseback transactions, for capital expenditures in fiscal year 1999 by
purchasing store and gasoline equipment for new stores, remodeling a certain
number of existing store and gasoline locations, implementing and/or upgrading
office and store technology and meeting the Company's requirements to comply
with federal and state underground gasoline storage tank regulations (see
"Environmental Responsibility"). These capital expenditures will be funded
primarily by excess cash generated from operations, the proceeds from the sale
of certain assets held for sale as of October 31, 1998 and other forms of
long-term equipment financing and/or leasing, supplemented by the availability
of the senior revolving credit facility, if necessary.


ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Company accrues its estimate of all costs to be incurred for assessment and
remediation with respect to releases of regulated substances from existing and
previously operated retail gasoline facilities. As of October 31, 1998, the
Company had recorded an accrual of $5,057,000 for such costs, the majority of
which are anticipated to be spent over the next one to five years.

The Company is entitled to reimbursement of a portion of the above costs from
various state environmental trust funds based upon compliance with the terms and
conditions of such trust funds. As of October 31, 1998, the Company had recorded
a net state trust fund reimbursement receivable of $4,579,000. Although there
are no assurances as to the timing, the Company believes that it is probable
that reimbursements from the state environmental trust funds will be received
within one to five years from the payment of the reimbursable assessment and
remediation expenses.


                                      -21-
<PAGE>   22



In addition, the Company estimates that future capital expenditure requirements
to comply with federal and state underground gasoline storage tank regulations
will be approximately $1.0 to $2.0 million in the aggregate through December
1998. These costs could be reduced for low volume retail gasoline locations
closed in lieu of the capital cost of compliance.

The Company's estimate of costs to be incurred for environmental assessment and
remediation and for required underground storage tank upgrading and other
regulatory compliance are based on factors and assumptions that could change due
to modifications of regulatory requirements or detection of unanticipated
environmental conditions.


YEAR 2000 COMPUTER COSTS

During fiscal year 1998 the Company undertook the implementation of its store
automation program in order to link its retail stores, which were previously not
automated, to the home office. The first phase of this program was completed in
fiscal year 1998, with the remaining two phases expected to be completed by the
end of fiscal year 2000. The store automation program, when fully implemented,
is expected to enhance accounting and management controls, improve retail
margins through centralized retail pricing, improve inventory management and
achieve efficiencies. In conjunction with the development of this and other
systems, the Company has been addressing the functionality of all the Company's
computer systems for the year 2000. The new systems implemented by the Company
are designed to be year 2000 compliant. The Company is also in the process of
evaluating the year 2000 compliance of various non-information technology
systems. Because the implementation and timing of the automation project were
not affected by year 2000 concerns, the Company does not consider the costs of
this project to be related to year 2000 compliance. The Company does not expect
to incur significant additional costs in the future that would have material
impact on Company's operating results.

The Company is also in the process of reviewing the efforts being undertaken by
its third party suppliers and vendors to become year 2000 compliant to ensure
that no business interruption is experienced at the turn of the century. The
Company has sent questionnaires to all of its material vendors to
ascertain their state of year 2000 readiness and is in the process of receiving
and evaluating their responses. The Company hopes to complete its assessment of
its supplier and vendor year 2000 compliance in the next quarter.

Due to the Company's ongoing efforts to assess the year 2000 readiness of
suppliers and vendors, the Company is unable to determine a reasonable worst
case scenario at this time. Although currently considered unlikely, a material
interruption in the Company's business could result from the failure of the
Company's primary suppliers and vendors to receive orders and deliver goods and
services. The Company will determine whether a contingency plan is needed after
it has evaluated responses to its vendor and customer questionnaires.
