INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

                                                               Exhibit 13.1
To the Board of Directors of Office Depot, Inc.

        We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Office Depot, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 25, 1993 and December 26, 1992, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 25, 1993.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Office Depot, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 25, 1993 and December 26,
1992 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 25, 1993 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Office Depot Inc. And Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Office Depot, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") operates a chain of
high-volume office supply stores and contract stationer/delivery warehouses
throughout the country.  The Company was incorporated in March 1986 and opened
its first store in October 1986.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

     All common stock share and per share amounts for all periods presented
have been adjusted for a three-for-two stock split in June 1993 and a
two-for-one stock split in May 1992 effected in the form of stock dividends.

     Certain reclassifications were made to prior year statements to conform to
1993 presentations.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

RECEIVABLES

     Receivables are comprised of trade receivables not financed through
outside programs as well as amounts due from vendors under rebate and
cooperative advertising programs.

MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market
value.

INCOME TAXES

        The Company currently provides for Federal and state income taxes
currently payable as well as for those deferred because of temporary
differences between reporting assets and liabilities for tax purposes and for
financial statement purposes using the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this
standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the tax effects, based
on current tax law, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to
events that have been recognized in the financial statements.  In prior years,
the Company had provided for income taxes using the provisions of APB No. 11.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to relate
the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives
on a straight line basis.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms
of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements.

Goodwill

        Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs
over the value assigned to the net tangible assets of businesses acquired. 
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.  Accumulated
amortization of goodwill was $1,657,000 and $49,000 as of December 25, 1993 and
December 26, 1992, respectively.

Pre-opening Expenses

        Pre-opening expenses related to new store openings are expensed as
incurred.

Acquisition of The Office Club, Inc.

        On April 10, 1991, the Company completed its acquisition of The Office
Club, Inc. ("Club").  The merger with Club was accounted for in 1991 on a
"pooling of interests" basis for accounting and financial reporting purposes. 
Financial statements for periods prior to the merger have been restated to
reflect the financial position and results of operations of the combined
companies as if they had merged as of the beginning of the earliest period
reported.  Club became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through the
exchange of 25,970,781 shares of the Company's common stock for all of the
outstanding stock of Club on a ratio of 1.194 shares of Depot stock for each
Club share.  References to Office Depot, Inc. and to The Office Club, Inc.
before the merger will be referred to as "Depot" and "Club," respectively. 
Costs of $8,950,000 associated with the merger have been reflected in the
results of operations for 1991.

Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Shares

        Net earnings per common equivalent share is based upon the weighted
average number of shares and equivalents outstanding during each period.  The
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding for
the years ended December 25, 1993, December 26, 1992 and December 28, 1991 were
94,627,000, 91,709,000 and 80,178,000, respectively.  Stock options and
warrants are considered common stock equivalents.  The zero coupon,
convertible, subordinated notes are not common stock equivalents and are
anti-dilutive in the fully diluted computation.

Fiscal Year

        The Company is on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending on the last
Saturday in December.

Postretirement Benefits

        The Company does not currently provide postretirement benefits for its
employees.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of the fair value of
financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, recognized and not
recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company, for which it is
practicable to estimate fair value.  The estimated fair values of financial
instruments which are presented herein have been determined by the Company
using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. 
However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to
develop estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein
are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a
current market exchange.

                                                                           27

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
- ---------------------------------------------------------

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:

  *  the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and
     accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short term nature;

  *  discounted cash flows using current interest rates for financial
     instruments with similar characteristics and maturity were used to
     determine the fair value of short-term and long-term debt; and,

  *  market prices were used to determine the value of the zero coupon,
     convertible, subordinated notes.

  There was no significant difference as of December 25, 1993 in the
carrying value and fair market value of financial instruments except for the
zero coupon, convertible, subordinated notes which had a carrying value of
$350,298,000 and a fair value of $419,750,000.

        The Company has a credit agreement with its principal bank and a
syndicate of commercial banks to provide for a working capital line of
$200,000,000.  The agreement provides that funds borrowed will bear interest, at
the Company's option, at either 3/4% over the LIBOR rate or at a base rate
linked to the prime rate.  The Company must also pay a fee of 1/4% per annum on
the available and unused portion of the credit facility.  The credit facility
expires in September 1996.  In addition to the credit facility, the bank has
provided a lease facility to the Company under which the bank has agreed to
purchase up to $15,000,000 of equipment from the Company and lease such
equipment back to the Company.  As of December 25, 1993, the Company had no
outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had utilized
approximately $7,711,000 of the lease facility.  The loan agreement contains
covenants relating to various financial statement ratios and provides for a
limitation on the payment of cash dividends on common stock, not to exceed 25% 
of net earnings, without the bank's consent.

      On May 17, 1993, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain of the liabilities of the office supply business of Wilson
Stationery & Printing Company ("Wilson"), a contract stationer based in Houston
Texas.  The Company issued 663,881 shares of common stock, representing
$15,000,000 at market value at date of issuance, in exchange for the acquired
net assets of Wilson.  This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

      On September 13, 1993, the Company acquired the common stock of Eastman
Office Products Corporation ("Eastman"), a contract stationer and office
furniture dealer headquartered in California that operates primarily in the
western United States.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued
2,693,053 shares of common stock with a market value of approximately
$79,707,000 and paid out $20,001,000 in cash.  This acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase.  The Company has allocated the purchase price to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on information obtained to date.  The
allocation will be finalized when all necessary information regarding the fair
values of the assets and liabilities is available.  The Company also acquired
the outstanding preferred stock of Eastman for $13,158,000.  Additionally, the
Company offered to purchase for cash pursuant to a tender offer $90,000,000
principal amount of Eastman, Inc.'s 13% Series B Subordinated Notes due 2002
(the "Notes").  Pursuant to the tender offer, in October 1993 the Company

NOTE K - RECEIVABLES SOLD WITH RECOURSE

        The Company has two private label credit card programs which are
managed by financial services companies.  All credit card receivables sold to
the financial services company under one of these programs were sold on a
recourse basis.  Proceeds to the Company for such receivables sold with
recourse were approximately $185,000,000, $138,000,000 and $123,000,000 in 
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.  The Company's maximum exposure to
off-balance sheet credit risk is represented by the outstanding balance of 
private label credit card receivables with recourse, which totaled approximately
$39,900,000 at December 25, 1993.  The financial services company periodically
estimates the percentage to be withheld from proceeds for receivables sold to
achieve the necessary reserve for potential uncollectible amounts.  The Company
expenses such withheld amounts at the time of sale to the financial services
company.
