Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.  While these statements reflect the 
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly 
state the results of the interim periods, they do not include all the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  These adjustments are of 
a normal and recurring nature.  For further information, refer to the 
annual financial statements and footnotes thereto, for the 53 week 
period ended April 3, 1993, contained in the Company's Form 10-K, filed 
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The reader is further 
cautioned that operating results for the 12 and 40 week periods ended 
January 8, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may 
be expected for the full year.

Note 2 Merchandise Inventories

The majority of merchandise inventories are accounted for using the 
moving weighted average cost method.  The remainder are accounted for 
using the first-in first-out cost method.  All inventories are stated at 
the lower of cost or market.

Note 3 Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in certain items 
for income tax and financial reporting purposes.

Note 4 Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Primary earnings per share amounts are computed using the weighted 
average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares 
outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method.  Common 
equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of stock options and 
from the conversion of cash related to the employee stock purchase plan 
into common shares based upon the terms of the plan.  The effect of 
common equivalent shares was not included in computation of the loss per 
share amount for the 40 week period ended January 8, 1994, because it 
was anti-dilutive.

Note 5 Notes Payable to Banks

Effective October 1, 1993, the Company entered into a revolving loan 
agreement with two banks providing for unsecured borrowings of up to 
$50,000,000 through September 30, 1994.  Each bank provides a 
$25,000,000 line of credit and one bank serves as agent for the 
agreement.  The Company may elect interest rates on the notes based on 
the participating banks' rates on overnight funds, or on the agent 
bank's rate on certificates of deposit, LIBOR, or prime rate.  The 
agreement contains a number of covenants, including a restriction on the 
payment of dividends and certain financial ratio requirements.  The 
Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of January 8, 
1994.  A summary of borrowings under the lines of credit follows (in 
thousands):
                                          	12 Weeks Ended 	   40 Weeks Ended

    Maximum amount outstanding	               $3,200	            $5,950
    Average amount outstanding                  	114	               365

Note 6 Leases

The Company leases all its retail stores, corporate, government, and 
education sales offices, it's distribution facilities in Lancaster, 
Pennsylvania and Sacramento, California, and it's headquarter facilities 
in Issaquah, Washington, under operating leases with  terms ranging from 
one to eleven years.  As of January 8, 1994, the future minimum rental 
payments under these operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

Note 7 Contingency

On September 16, 1993, two purchasers of the Company's securities, 
individually and on behalf of a proposed class of purchasers between 
February 11, 1992 and   November 18, 1992, filed a lawsuit against the 
Company, a current officer and two former officers who were also 
directors, asking for unspecified damages and alleging certain 
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the 
Washington State Securities Act and the Washington Consumer Protection 
Act.  The suit, Finucan v. Egghead, Inc., et al., was filed in the 
United States District Court of the Western District of Washington.  
Plaintiffs allege in general that the company and its officers made 
material false statements and omissions in connection with the Company's 
public announcements and disclosures.  With respect to the individual 
defendants, plaintiffs also allege that they sold stock while in the 
possession of material non-public information.  The Company and the 
individual defendants intend to vigorously oppose the action.


Note 8 Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1993 financial

fourth quarter consists of the remaining 12 or 13 weeks.

Net sales of $208.6 million for the 12 week period ended January 8, 1994, were 
11% greater than net sales of $188.3 million for the 12 week period ended 
January 2, 1993.

Year-to-date sales of $583.5 million for the 40 week period ended January 8, 
1994 were 10% greater than net sales of $529.8 million for the 40 week period 
ended January 2, 1993.  

The corporate, government, and education group ("CGE") generated 45% of total 
net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 1994, with 55% generated by 
retail operations.  This compares to 50% generated by CGE and 50% generated by 
retail operations in the third quarter of fiscal 1993.

Year-to-date fiscal 1994, CGE generated 53% of total net sales with the 
remaining 47% generated by retail operations.  This compares to 57% for CGE 
and 43% for retail year-to-date last year.  
<PAGE>

Corporate, Government, and Education Sales
Corporate, government and education sales decreased $1.2 million, or 1%, from 
$94.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1993 to $93.7 million in the 
third quarter of fiscal 1994.  The Company lowered prices during the second 
quarter of fiscal 1994 to improve its competitive position.  During the third 
quarter of fiscal 1994, there was a decrease in the average selling price per 
unit compared to the third quarter last year, while the number of units sold 
increased slightly.  Management believes its restructuring initiative in CGE 
is impacting sales.

Year-to-date fiscal 1994 CGE sales of $311.5 million increased $10.2 million, 
or 3%, compared to $301.3 million year-to-date last year.

Retail Sales
Retail sales of $114.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 increased 
$21.5 million, or 23%, compared to $93.4 million in the same quarter a year 
ago.  Comparable retail store sales increased 18% in the third quarter of 
fiscal 1994 compared to the third quarter a year ago.  There was also an 
increase in mail order sales due partly to the acquisition of a new mail order 
subsidiary, MPI (d/b/a Mac's Place), during the second quarter of fiscal 1994.

The Company lowered prices during the second quarter of fiscal 1994 to improve 
its competitive position.  The number of units sold increased during the third 
quarter of fiscal 1994, compared to the third quarter last year.

Year-to-date fiscal 1994 retail sales of $272.0 million increased $43.5 
million, or 19%, compared to $228.5 million year-to-date last year.  Year-to-
date comparable retail store sales increased 11% compared to last year.

The comparable store sales increases in the first few weeks of the fourth 
quarter were significantly less than in the third quarter.

Retail Locations
During the third quarter this year, the Company opened no new stores and 
closed one.  Since the end of the third quarter last year, the Company has 
opened six stores and closed 18.  As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 
1994, the Company operated 194 retail stores, compared to 206 at the end of 
the third quarter a year ago.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 12.3% in the third quarter of 
fiscal 1994, compared to 14.3% in the third quarter last year.  Year-to-date 
gross margin as a percentage of sales was 13.5% in fiscal 1994, compared to 
14.6% in fiscal 1993.  The Company lowered prices in both its CGE and Retail 
businesses during the second quarter of fiscal 1994 to improve its competitive 
position.  As discussed in the Company's previous Forms 10-Q, gross margin as 
a percentage of sales has been impacted by industry-wide pricing pressure 
related to both competitors' pricing and vendors' pricing.

The factors discussed above which reduced gross margin as a percentage of 
sales were partially offset by certain costs, such as retail occupancy and 
distribution costs, remaining relatively constant while sales increased.  Also 
offsetting the decline was the impact of retail sales making up a larger 
percentage of total sales compared to last year.  Retail sales, compared to 
CGE sales, typically have higher margins and lower volume per transaction.  

Management anticipates margins will continue to be lower than last year.

Selling, general, and administrative expense was 10.2% of net sales in the 
third quarters of fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993.  Year-to-date SG&A expense was 
11.7% of net sales in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993.  As discussed in the 
Company's previous Forms 10-Q, the Company took restructuring charges in the 
first quarter of fiscal 1994 and in fiscal 1993, to lower its cost structure 
to improve its ability to compete.

Savings associated with this restructuring were offset by a change in 
marketing revenue.  SG&A expense also includes expenses from Mac's Place, the 
Company's new mail order subsidiary.

Provision for restructuring costs were $4.4 million, or 0.7% of year-to-date 
fiscal 1994 net sales, and $1.7 million, or 0.3% of year-to-date fiscal 1993 
net sales.

Income tax benefit (provision) was a $0.9 million provision for the third 
quarter fiscal 1994, compared to $1.5 million in the third quarter a year    
ago. In the third quarter and year-to-date for fiscal years 1994 and 1993,  
the Company's effective tax rate was 39%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.4 million, from $26.4 million at the 
end of fiscal 1993 to $21.0 million at January 8, 1994.  There was a reduction 
in net income and a larger increase in accounts receivable during the first 
three quarters of fiscal 1994 compared to the first three quarters last year, 
as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the 40 weeks 
ended January 8, 1994, on page 3.

Accounts receivable, net increased $12.6 million, from $64.7 million at April 
3, 1993 to   $77.3 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1994.  
Third party credit card receivables and vendor rebate receivables increased 
due to the timing of receiving payments.

Merchandise inventories increased $24.4 million, from $137.2 million at April 
3, 1993, to $161.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1994.   
During the third quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company added to existing 
inventory levels for the Christmas season.  Inventory of $161.6 million at the 
end of the third quarter of fiscal 1994 is comparable to $157.2 million at the 
end of the third quarter last year.

Current and non-current deferred income taxes totaling $9.7 million and $9.8 
million at January 8, 1994, and April 3, 1993, respectively, resulted from 
taxes paid on temporary differences which caused taxable income to exceed 
financial reporting income.

Accounts payable increased $30.9 million, from $100.0 million at the end of 
fiscal 1993, to $130.9 million at January 8, 1994.  The increase was due 
mainly to the increase in inventory discussed above.  As a percentage of total 
inventory, accounts payable (leveraging) was 73% at the end of fiscal 1993 and 
81% at January 8, 1994.  Leveraging was relatively high at the end of fiscal 
1993, partly because inventory for new product introductions had just been 
received with terms that did not required payment until after that date.  
Leveraging was even higher at January 8, 1994 due mainly to extended credit 
terms from some vendors for seasonal purchases.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 million for the 40 weeks 
ended January 8, 1994, compared to $11.5 million provided by operating 
activities during the same period a year ago.  Contributing to the decrease 
were a reduction in net income and a larger increase in accounts receivable 
during the first three quarters of fiscal 1994 compared to the first three 
quarters last year.  Third party credit card receivables increased due to 
favorable renegotiation of fees in exchange for a slower payment schedule.  
For further information on net cash provided by operating activities, see the 
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994, 
on page 3.

The average amount of debt outstanding during the third quarter of fiscal 1994 
was           $0.1 million, compared to $1.3 million during the same quarter a 
year ago.  During the third quarter of fiscal 1994, working capital 
requirements and capital expenditures were financed from operations and short-
term borrowings.

Effective October 1, 1993, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement 
with two banks providing for unsecured borrowings up to $50 million through 
September 30, 1994.  Each bank provides a $25 million line of credit and one 
bank serves as agent for the agreement.  The agreement contains a number of 
covenants, including a restriction on the payment of dividends and certain 
financial ratio requirements.  The Company was in compliance with all 
financial covenants and had no outstanding borrowings on             January 
8, 1994. 

The Company expects that working capital requirements in the foreseeable 
future will be satisfied by cash flow from operations and borrowings under 
these lines of credit.  Depending on its rate of growth, the Company may in 
future years require additional financing, including bank borrowings and 
further issuances of debt and/or equity securities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS







To Egghead, Inc.:

We have made a review of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet 
of Egghead, Inc. (a Washington corporation) and subsidiaries as of January 8, 
1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for 
the 12 and 40 week periods ended January 8, 1994, and January 2, 1993, in 
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified 
Public Accountants.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company's management.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an 
understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial 
information, applying analytical review procedures to the financial data and 
making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  
It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally 
accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an 
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we 
do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that 
should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
