PHAR-MOR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         The accompanying  unaudited  interim condensed  consolidated  financial
         statements  have been prepared in accordance  with  generally  accepted
         accounting  principles for interim financial  information.  They do not
         include  all  information  and  footnotes  which  would be  required by
         generally  accepted   accounting   principles  for  complete  financial
         statements.  In the  opinion  of  management  of  Phar-Mor,  Inc.  (the
         "Company") and its  subsidiaries,  these interim  financial  statements
         contain all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of
         financial position, results of operations,  comprehensive loss and cash
         flows  for  the  periods  presented.  Reference  should  be made to the
         Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3,
         1999 for additional  disclosures,  including a summary of the Company's
         accounting policies, which have not changed.  Operating results for the
         thirteen weeks ended October 2, 1999 are not necessarily  indicative of
         the results that may be expected for the fifty-two weeks ending July 1,
         2000.

2.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
         In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
         SFAS  No.  130,   "Reporting   Comprehensive   Income."  SFAS  No.  130
         establishes  standards  for  reporting  comprehensive  income  and  its
         components,  some of which  have been  historically  excluded  from the
         Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations  and  recorded  directly to the
         equity section of an entity's statement of financial position. SFAS No.
         130 also requires that the  cumulative  balance of these items of other
         comprehensive income are reported separately from retained earnings and
         additional  paid-in  capital in the equity  section of a  statement  of
         financial  position.  The Company  adopted  SFAS No. 130 in fiscal year
         1999  and  has  elected  to  include  the   required   items  of  other
         comprehensive  income  in  its  Condensed  Consolidated  Statements  of
         Comprehensive  Income (Loss). The Company reported other  comprehensive
         income (loss) in each of the first three  quarters of fiscal year 1999,
         however  in the  fourth  quarter  the  Company  recorded  an other than
         temporary  impairment  write-down in its  statement of operation  which
         effectively eliminated the other comprehensive income (loss) for fiscal
         year 1999.

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative
         Instruments and Hedging  Activities," which establishes  accounting and
         reporting   standards  for  derivative   instruments  and  for  hedging
         activities.  It requires that an entity  recognize all  derivatives  as
         either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
         measure those  instruments at fair value,  with the potential effect on
         operations  dependent upon certain  conditions  being met. SFAS No. 133
         (as amended by SFAS No. 137) is  effective  for all fiscal  quarters of
         fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not believe
         that the  adoption  of SFAS No. 133 will have a material  impact on its
         financial position or results of operations.

3.       LITIGATION
         The Company and its  subsidiaries  are  involved in legal  proceedings,
         claims and litigation  arising in the ordinary  course of business.  In
         the  opinion  of   management,   the  outcome  of  such  current  legal
         proceedings,  claims and litigation  will not have a material impact on
         the Company's consolidated financial position.

PHAR-MOR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (all dollar amounts in thousands)

Thirteen Weeks Ended October 2, 1999 versus
    Thirteen Weeks Ended September 26, 1998

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 ("Fiscal 2000")  increased 18.0%
compared  to the first  quarter  of  fiscal  year 1999  ("Fiscal  1999").  Sales
increased  14.2% due to the  acquisition of the 32 Pharmhouse  stores which were
acquired in March 1999.  Comparable store sales increased 3.4% from $266,152 for
Fiscal 1999 to $275,067 for Fiscal 2000. The increase in comparable  store sales
was primarily due to a 9.2% comparable store pharmacy sales increase.

Cost of sales as a  percentage  of sales was 80.8% in Fiscal  2000  compared  to
81.1% in Fiscal 1999, a 0.3%  improvement.  The  improvement is primarily due to
increased  vendor  income  related  to  the  remerchandising  activities  in the
Pharmhouse stores partially offset by lower video rental tape sales. In the last
year the Company closed  approximately  one half of its poorer  performing video
rental  departments  and  liquidated  the video  rental tape  inventory in those
stores.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.8%
in Fiscal 2000 compared to 15.8% in Fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily due
to higher wages,  advertising and other store operating expenses as a percentage
of sales due to the inclusion of the lower volume  Pharmhouse  stores  partially
offset by lower corporate expenses as a percentage of sales.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense was $7,175 in Fiscal  2000  compared to
$5,738 in Fiscal  1999,  an  increase of $1,437.  The  increase is the result of
depreciation on capital expenditures made since the first quarter of Fiscal 1999
and the  depreciation  and amortization on the assets acquired in the Pharmhouse
acquisition.

Interest  income was $9 in Fiscal 2000  compared  to interest  income of $488 in
Fiscal  1999,  a $479  decrease.  The  decrease in interest  income was due to a
decrease in the amount of excess funds available for investment in Fiscal 2000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (all dollar amounts in thousands)

The  Company's  cash  position as of October 2, 1999 was $15,867.  The Company's
cash  position may fluctuate as a result of seasonal  merchandise  purchases and
timing of payments.

The Company entered into an Amended and Restated  Revolving Credit Facility (the
"Amended Facility")  effective September 10, 1998 with BABC, as agent, and other
financial  institutions that establishes a credit facility in the maximum amount
of $100,000.

Borrowings  under the Amended Facility may be used for working capital needs and
general  corporate  purposes.  Up to $50,000 of the Amended Facility at any time
may be used for standby and documentary  letters of credit. The Amended Facility
includes  restrictions  on, among other things,  additional  debt,  investments,
dividends  and other  distributions,  mergers and  acquisitions  and contains no
financial covenants.

Credit  availability under the Amended Facility at any time is the lesser of the
aggregate  availability  (as defined in the Amended  Facility) or $100,000.  The
Amended Facility  establishes a first priority lien and security interest in the
current  assets of the Company,  including,  among other items,  cash,  accounts
receivable and inventory.

Advances  made under the  Amended  Facility  bear  interest  at the  BankAmerica
reference  rate plus 1/2% or LIBOR plus  2.00%.  Under the terms of the  Amended
Facility,  the Company is required to pay a commitment  fee of between 0.25% and
0.35% per annum on the unused portion of the facility, letter of credit fees and
certain other fees.

Unused  availability under the Amended Facility,  after subtracting amounts used
for outstanding letters of credit, was $43,763 at October 2, 1999.

The Amended Facility expires on March 14, 2002.

Thirteen weeks ended October 2, 1999

During the thirteen  weeks ended October 2, 1999,  the  Company's  cash position
decreased by $1,479.  Net cash used by  operating  activities  was $34,344.  The
major uses of cash from  operating  activities  were for an increase in accounts
receivable of $3,482,  an increase in inventories of $14,821 in  anticipation of
the  holiday  season and a decrease  in  accounts  payable of $22,088 due to the
timing of payments.

<PAGE> 9

Capital  expenditures of $4,448,  additions to video rental tapes of $454 and an
additional  $4,600  investment  in  equity  securities  were  paid  for with the
Company's revolving credit facility.

Net cash from financing  activities of $42,367 consisted of borrowings under the
revolving  credit facility and increases in bank overdrafts  partially offset by
principal payments on lease obligations of $1,651 and principal payments on term
debt of $446.

The  Company  is  exposed to certain  market  risks from  transactions  that are
entered into during the normal course of business. The Company's policies do not
permit active trading of, or speculation in, derivative  financial  instruments.
The Company's  primary  market risk exposure  relates to interest rate risk. The
Company manages its interest rate risk in order to balance its exposure  between
fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest costs.

Trends,  Demands,  Commitments,  Events or Uncertainties  (all dollar amounts in
thousands)

Certain  Company  information  systems have  potential  operational  problems in
connection  with  applications  that  contain  a date  and/or  use a  date  in a
comparative  manner as the date  transitions into the Year 2000. The Company has
implemented a comprehensive program to identify and remediate potential problems
related to the Year 2000 in its information systems,  infrastructure,  logistics
and  retail   facilities.   In  addition,   the  Company  has  initiated  formal
communication with all of its significant  vendors and other external interfaces
to determine the extent to which the Company is  vulnerable  to a  third-party's
failure to remediate their own potential  problems related to the Year 2000. The
inability of the Company or significant  vendors and/or  external  interfaces of
the Company to adequately address Year 2000 issues could cause disruption of the
Company's systems.

Management believes,  based on its assessment of all of its systems, that it has
completed all of the software  modifications  necessary to make its systems year
2000  compliant.  The Company will replace  certain  personal  computer  related
hardware before December 31, 1999 to ensure that those systems will be Year 2000
compliant.  The  Company  has  developed  or is in  the  process  of  developing
contingency  plans that include  manually  performing  work in place of affected
systems and the renting of back-up systems and generators.

As of October 2, 1999, the Company has incurred  approximately $1,300 related to
the  assessment  of, and efforts in connection  with,  its Year 2000 program and
remediation  plan.  The Company has completed all of the software  modifications
necessary  to make its systems Year 2000  compliant  and  anticipates  no future
expenditures for software  modifications will be necessary.  Future spending for
hardware  purchases  required  for  Year  2000  are  currently  estimated  to be
approximately  $200.  The Company has  accelerated  by one year the  purchase of
approximately  $5,000 in replacement  hardware in order to ensure the associated
system is Year 2000  compliant.  These  expenditures  are not expected to have a
material  impact on the  Company's  operating  results,  liquidity  and  capital
resources.

In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes  accounting and reporting
standards for derivative  instruments  and for hedging  activities.  It requires
that an entity  recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial  position and measure  those  instruments  at fair value,
with the potential effect on operations  dependent upon certain conditions being
met.  SFAS No. 133 (as  amended  by SFAS No.  137) is  effective  for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.  Management  does not
believe  that the  adoption  of SFAS No. 133 will have a material  impact on its
financial position or results of operations.
