         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 52 week period 
         ended April 1, 1995, 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 13 and 26 week 
         periods ended September 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of 
         the results that may be expected for the full year.

         The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year, ending on the Saturday 
         nearest March 31 of each year.  Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 
         weeks.

         Note 2 Merchandise Inventories

         Merchandise inventories are accounted for using the moving weighted 
         average cost method and are stated at the lower of cost or market.

         Note 3 Income Taxes
         Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the 
         recognition of certain items for income tax and financial reporting 
         purposes.

         Note 4 Earnings (Loss) Per Share
         Net loss 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 effects of common equivalent shares were not included in
         computation of the loss per share amount for the 13 and 26 week 
         periods ended September 30, 1995, and October 1, 1994, because they 
         were anti-dilutive.

         Note 5 Notes Payable to Banks

         Effective October 1, 1994, the Company entered into a revolving 
         loan agreement with two banks providing for unsecured borrowings of 
         up to $50,000,000 through November 30, 1995.  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 restric-
         tion on the payment of dividends and certain financial ratio 
         requirements.  {The Company was in compliance with the financial 
         covenants as of September 30, 1995.  Need debt compliance calico. 
         Need waiver from bank and copy of extension to send to Arthur 
         Anderson}  There were no borrowings under these or previous lines of
         credit during the first quarter of  fiscal 1996.

         Note 6 Leases
         The Company leases all its retail stores, its corporate, government,
         and education sales offices, it's distribution facilities in 
         Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Wilmington, Ohio and Sacramento, 
         California, and it's former headquarter facilities in Issaquah, 
         Washington, under operating leases with remaining terms ranging from
         one to five years.  As of September 30, 1995, the future minimum 
         rental payments under these operating leases were as follows (in 
         thousands):

         ITEM 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
                    Operations and Financial Condition

         The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year, ending on the Saturday 
         nearest March 31 of each year.  Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 
         weeks.  All references herein to fiscal year 1996 and 1995 relate to
         fiscal years ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995, respectively.

         Net sales of $191.2 million for the 13 week period ended 
         September 30, 1995, were $3.1 million, or 2% less than net sales of 
         $194.3 million for the 13 week period ended  October 1, 1994.

         Year-to-date sales of $365.9 million for the 26 week period ended 
         September 30, 1995, decreased $22.3 million, or 6%, from net sales 
         of $388.2 million for the comparable period ended October 1, 1994.

         The corporate, government, and education (CGE) group generated 47% 
         of total net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 1996, with 
         53% generated by retail operations.  This compares to 52% generated 
         by the CGE group and 48% generated by retail operations in the 
         second quarter of fiscal 1995.

         Fiscal year 1996 year-to-date total net sales were comprised of 
         approximately 49% from the CGE group and 51% from retail operations.
         This compares to 53% from the CGE group and 47% from retail opera-
         tions for the year-to-date fiscal year 1995 total net sales.
         <PAGE>
         Corporate, Government, and Education Sales

         CGE sales of $90.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 
         decreased $11.0 million, or 11%, compared to $101.6 million in the 
         second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Year-to-date CGE sales for the 26 
         weeks ended September 30, 1995, were $180.5 million, a $23.7 million
         or a 5% decrease compared to $204.2 million for the same period a 
         year ago.

         These decreases were due primarily to price reductions as prices for 
         many software products have continued to decline due to industry-
         wide pricing pressure related to both competitors and vendors 
         pricing.

         The Company serves as a designated reseller for volume licensing and
         maintenance (VLAM) agreements between certain of its customers and 
         major publishers of microcomputer software.  VLAM agreements 
         typically are used by large customers seeking to standardize desktop
         software applications. For each of the 13 and 26 week periods ended 
         September 30, 1995, sales of software through VLAM agreements 
         represented approximately 30% of total CGE sales, compared to 
         approximately 15% for the same periods last year.

         During the first quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company consoli-
         dated the operations of its CGE customer service centers in 
         Issaquah, Washington and Canada to one customer service center in 
         Spokane, Washington.  Inside sales representatives and support 
         personnel work out of the customer service center.  Outside sales 
         representatives continue to work throughout the U.S. and Canada.

         Retail Sales

         Retail sales of $100.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal year
         1996 increased $7.9 million, or 8%, compared to $92.7 million in the
         second quarter of fiscal year 1995, despite operating 16 fewer 
         stores at September 30, 1995 as compared to October 1, 1994.  
         Comparable retail store sales, which include the August 24 Microsoft 
         Windows 95 launch, increased 20% from last year's second quarter. 
         Sales of Microsoft Windows 95, along with related products which 
         run on Windows 95, contributed $19.5 million to second quarter 
         retail sales.

         Retail sales for the 26 week periods ended September 30, 1995, and 
         October 1, 1994, were $185.3 million and $184.0 million, respec-
         tively.  Year-to-date comparable retail store sales increased 11%.  

         The Company introduced its new prototype store in Beaverton, Oregon 
         in the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 1996.  The new 
         store is twice the size of its predecessor and represents a new 
         merchandising approach for the Company.  Sales for the Beaverton 
         store for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 61% compared 
         to the second quarter last year.
         <PAGE>
         Retail Locations

         During the first half of fiscal year 1996, the Company opened two 
         stores, closed eight, relocated one, and operated a total of 163 
         stores at September 30, 1995.  This compares to 179 at the end of 
         the second quarter a year ago.

         Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 10.3% in the second 
         quarter of fiscal year 1996, compared to 11.5% in the second quarter
         last year.  Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 10.7% for 
         year-to-date fiscal 1996, compared to 11.5% for year-to-date fiscal 
         1995.  During fiscal 1996, gross margin as a percentage of sales has
         continued to be affected by industry-wide pricing pressure related 
         to both competitors pricing and vendors  pricing.  The Company's
         promotion of Microsoft Windows 95 negatively impacted gross margin
         as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

         Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense was 12.5% of 
         total net sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 1996, compared 
         to 11.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 1995.  The increase in 
         SG&A expense was primarily attributable to $2.7 million ($1.65 
         million or $0.09 per share, after tax) of relocation, severance, and 
         related costs associated with consolidating the Company s adminis-
         trative operations formerly located in Issaquah, Washington, to its
         customer service center in Spokane, Washington.  These costs 
         increased SG&A expense as a percentage of sales by 1.4% in the 
         second quarter of fiscal 1996.

         Year-to-date fiscal 1996 SG&A expense as a percentage of total net 
         sales was 12.7% compared to 11.2% for year-to-date fiscal year 1995.
         In addition to the costs associated with consolidating the Company's
         administrative operations as discussed above, during the first 
         quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company consolidated its direct response
         operation, formerly located in Kalispell, Montana, and the remainder
         of its CGE customer service operations and its credit operations, 
         formerly located in Issaquah, Washington, to its customer service 
         center in Spokane, Washington.  The changes were made to improve 
         customer service and reduce costs.  Total consolidation costs year-
         to-date through the second quarter of fiscal 1996 totaled approxi-
         mately $3.8 million ($2.3 million or $0.13 per share, after tax), or 
         1% of net sales. 

         The Company expects that these changes will result in net expense in
         fiscal 1996, and net savings in future years due to lower labor 
         rates and occupancy costs.


         FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Cash and short-term investments were $55.9 million at September 30, 
         1995 compared to $42.6 million at April 1, 1995.  The $13.3 million 
         increase was mainly due to a $75.3 million increase in accounts 
         payable, partially offset by a $53.0 million increase in merchandise
         inventories as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
         for the 26 week period ended September 30, 1995 on page 3.
         <PAGE>
         Accounts receivable, net increased from $84.5 million at April 1, 
         1995 to $87.8 million at September 30, 1995.  The increase resulted 
         mainly from increases in vendor rebates and marketing receivables 
         related to the Company's Microsoft Windows 95 promotion.

         Merchandise inventories of $155.9 million at September 30, 1995, 
         increased $53.0 million, or 52%, compared to $102.9 million at 
         April 1, 1995, due primarily to the purchase of Microsoft Windows 95
         and related products.  

         Accounts payable increased to $180.1 million at September 30, 1995, 
         from $104.4 million at April 1, 1995.  The increase was due pri-
         marily to the increased portion of CGE sales that came from VLAM 
         agreements during the second quarter this year compared to the 
         second quarter last year, as discussed on page 7.  Increased sales 
         resulted in an increase in accounts payable without a corresponding 
         increase in merchandise inventory, as VLAM agreements are not 
         inventoried product.  In addition, there was an increase in accounts
         payable for inventoried product, due to the increase in merchandise 
         inventories, as well as, a system conversion and relocation of the 
         Company's administrative operations to Spokane, Washington, which 
         delayed processing of payments to several vendors.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.0 million for the 
         26 weeks ended September 30, 1995, compared to $5.4 million during 
         the same period a year ago.  During the second quarter of fiscal 
         1996, there was a $75.3 million increase in accounts payable, 
         partially offset by a $53.0 million increase in merchandise 
         inventories and a $4.2 million increase in prepaid expenses.  For 
         further information, see the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 
         for the 26 week periods ended September 30, 1995, and October 1, 
         1994, on  page 3.

         Effective October 1, 1994, the Company entered into a revolving loan 
         agreement with two banks providing for unsecured borrowings up to 
         $50 million through 1995.  Each bank provides a $25 million line of 
         credit and one bank serves as agent for the agreement.  The agree-
         ment 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 September 30, 1995.  Need waiver from bank
         and extension agreement for AA}

         There was no long-term debt outstanding during the first half of 
         fiscal 1996 or fiscal 1995. During the first half of fiscal 1996, 
         working capital requirements and capital expenditures were financed 
         from operations.
         <PAGE>
         The Company expects that working capital requirements in the fore-
         seeable 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 require additional financing, including bank
         borrowings and further issuances of debt and/or equity securities.

     REPORT TO INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


     To Egghead, Inc.:

     We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
     of Egghead, Inc. (a Washington corporation) and subsidiaries as of
     September 30, 1995 and the related condensed consolidated statements
     of operations for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended September 30,
     1995 and October 1, 1994, and statements of cash flows for the 26-week
     period ended September 30, 1995, and October 1, 1994. These financial
     statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
     the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of
     interim financial information consists principally of apply analytical
     procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons
     responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially
     less in scope than an audit conducted 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.
