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
    March 30, 1996, 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 weeks ended June 29, 1996, 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 EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

    Net earnings, (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 effect of common
    equivalent shares was not included in computation of the loss per share
    amount for the 13 week periods ended June 29, 1996, and July 1, 1995,
    because it was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 LEASES

    The Company leases retail stores and distribution facilities under
    operating leases with remaining lives on most leases ranging from one to
    five years.  As of June 29, 1996 the future minimum rental payments under
    these operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 6 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective May 13, 1996, the Company sold its CGE division to Software Spectrum,
Inc. (SSI), a Texas Corporation for $45 million in cash pursuant to the terms of
an asset purchase agreement entered into on March 23, 1996. The sale agreement
included a Fulfillment Agreement relating to the provision by Egghead to SSI of
certain support services for a period not to exceed 120 days, a Collection
Agreement detailing the collection of Egghead's CGE related accounts receivable
for a period not to exceed 150 days and a Call Center Lease detailing the lease
to SSI for a period of three years of a portion of Egghead's Spokane facility.
The CGE sale agreement requires Egghead to maintain human and computer resources
to support the various agreements.

The sale resulted in a gain, net of tax, of $22.3 million or $1.27 per share.
The reported gain includes the sale proceeds of $45 million  less fixed assets
and lease write-offs of $1.2 million, transaction, legal and accounting fees of
$2.0 million, transition period employment costs of $1.8 million, costs related
to the fulfillment period of $3.4 million, and taxes of $14.3 million.

The first quarter results of the CGE division have been reported separately as a
component of discontinued operations.  Prior year  financial statements have
been restated to present the CGE division as a discontinued operation.
Discontinued operations resulted in a  loss, net of tax, for the first quarter
of $14.5 million or $0.83 per share.  This loss includes accounts receivable and
inventory write-offs of $12.5 million, write-offs and equipment lease buyouts of
$4.9 million, warehouse closing costs of $3.2 million and operating losses,
severance and other costs of $3.2 million.  These charges were offset by a tax
benefit of $9.3 million.

The net assets and liabilities relating to discontinued operations have been
segregated on the consolidated balance sheet  from their historic
classifications to separately identify them as being related to the discontinued
operations.  Net current assets of the discontinued operations at June 29, 1996
consisted of  accounts receivable net of reserves, and merchandise inventory net
of reserves.  Current liabilities  at June 29, 1996 consisted of liabilities
relating to the disposal of CGE.

NOTE 5 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of.  This new standard requires long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangible assets be evaluated to determine whether the
carrying amount is recoverable based on estimated future cash flows expected
from the use of the assets and cash to be received upon disposal of the assets.
The Company adopted this standard at the beginning of the first quarter of
fiscal year 1997.  This standard required the company to record a cumulative
effect of accounting change of $711,000, after tax, for the Kalispell property,
which is held for sale, and the related goodwill.  In addition, a charge of
$180,000 related to retail operations was recorded in Selling, General and
Administrative expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
        OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 GENERAL

    Egghead, Inc. (Egghead or the Company), a reseller of personal computer
    (PC) software, hardware, and related products, serves its customer through
    retail outlets and mail order.  As of June 29, 1996, the Company operated
    159 retail stores, a direct response group, and Elekom Corporation
    (ELEKOM), all of which are included in continuing operations.

    The Company has also historically served corporate, government, and
    education customers through its corporate, government, and education (CGE)
    division.  On May 13, 1996, the Company sold the CGE Division to Software
    Spectrum, Inc. (SSI) a Texas corporation, for $45.0 million in cash which
    did not include the CGE division's receivables and inventory that Egghead
    is liquidating in an orderly manner.  The sale, agreement included a
    Fulfillment Agreement relating to the provision by Egghead to SSI of
    certain support services for a period not to exceed 120 days and a Call
    Center Lease detailing the lease for a period of three years of a portion
    of Egghead's Spokane facility to SSI.  Information contained in this filing
    excludes, unless otherwise stated, any data relative to the discontinued
    operations of the CGE division.

    Egghead, a Washington corporation, was incorporated in 1988 and is the
    successor to a corporation which was incorporated in Washington in 1984.
    Egghead is the parent company of DJ&J Software Corporation, Eggspert
    Software, Ltd. (Eggspert), EH Direct, Inc., Egghead International, Inc.
    (Egghead International) and ELEKOM.  Eggspert and Egghead International
    became inactive subsidiaries on May 13, 1996 following the sale of the CGE
    division to SSI.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to
    "the Company" and "Egghead" include Egghead and its subsidiaries.
    Operating results of Eggspert and Egghead International are included in
    discontinued operations.

    Egghead's retail stores offer a broad selection of products at competitive
    prices, as well as special order capabilities for additional products.  The
    Company employs a knowledgeable sales force to assist customers in
    selecting software, hardware, and related products.  At June 29, 1996, the
    Company was operating 20 of its retail stores under a new merchandising
    format which is approximately twice the size of original stores and is
    arranged in a more user-friendly format.  Results from the new store format
    have been mixed.  Experience with Egghead's new store format indicates that
    relocated and remodeled stores in existing markets have shown encouraging
    results.  Management is continuing to revise the merchandise assortment in
    new and remodeled stores with a view to further improve store revenues.
    The Company will also seek additional sites in existing markets, where
    appropriate.

    In August 1995, Egghead formed ELEKOM, a new subsidiary.  ELEKOM was formed
    to develop electronic commerce applications and services which link
    customers and their suppliers.  EleTrade, a product being developed by
    ELEKOM, uses Lotus Notes and other notes networks to provide large
    organizations an easy-to-use, cost-effective, secure and reliable product
    ordering and order management system for non-production goods and services.
    EleTrade allows companies to create customized electronic catalogs with
    multi-media product information and customer-specific pricing.  ELEKOM is
    also developing additional enhancements which will automate the internal
    requisition and approval process and which may create better
    asset/inventory management and allow electronic software distribution.
    ELEKOM, a development stage company, incurred selling, general and
    administrative costs of approximately $400,000 during the quarter ended
    June 29, 1996.  Including the first quarter investment, Egghead has
    invested a cumulative total of $1.9 million in ELEKOM.  The Company's Board
    of Directors has authorized a total investment of $3.0 million to be made
    during fiscal 1997.  ELEKOM formed strategic agreements with American
    Express and IBM during the first quarter and continues to market its
    complete electronic commerce solution to potential customers.

    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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    OVERVIEW

    Egghead reported a total net loss for continuing and discontinued
    operations of $547,000 for the quarter ended June 29, 1996 compared to a
    net loss of $3.2 million for the prior year comparable quarter.  The net
    loss during the current quarter was due primarily to an increase in the net
    loss from the continuing retail operations, partially offset by the gain on
    the disposal of the CGE division.  Total loss per share for the quarters
    ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995 were $(0.03) and $(0.18),
    respectively.

    This document contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
    uncertainties including risks related to the highly competitive nature of
    the computer software, hardware and other related products retailing
    industry, the seasonality and quarterly fluctuation of financial results,
    the early stage of the Company's new merchandising store format, the
    dependence of the Company's sales on the purchase and use of personal
    computers and software, and the development stage of the Company's
    subsidiary ELEKOM, and the risks detailed in the Company's SEC reports,
    including the report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 1996.
    Actual results may differ materially.

    CONTINUING OPERATIONS

    Loss from continuing operations includes the results of the Company's
    retail division, direct response division, and ELEKOM as well as selling,
    general, and administrative expenses related to these operations.  Net loss
    for the first quarter from continuing operations was $7.6 million, or $0.43
    per share, compared to the net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.19 per share,
    for the same period of the previous year.  The following table shows the
    relationship of certain items relating to continuing operations included in

    NET SALES  for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $78.6 million, a
    decrease of 7% from the $84.7 million in revenue for the same period of the
    previous year.  Comparable store sales for the first quarter decreased 7%
    from the same period last year.  Comparable store sales results only
    include Egghead's retail stores.  Excluded from this statistic are sales
    through Direct Response and the Egghead Internet Site (www.egghead.com).
    Because new format stores were opened during the first quarter of fiscal
    1997 and during fiscal 1996, their sales will not impact comparable store
    sales statistics until they have been active during all periods evaluated.
    Total retail sales were also affected by a reduction in the average number
    of stores in full operations to 162 during the first quarter down from 169
    during the first quarter of the previous year.

    Results from the new store format have been mixed.  Experience with
    Egghead's new store format indicates that relocated and remodeled stores in
    existing markets have shown encouraging results.  Eleven remodeled and
    expanded stores had sales increases of approximately 30% over their
    performance in the same period of the previous year.  Opening new stores in
    new markets has not been as successful as remodeling and expanding stores
    in existing markets.  The Company will therefore continue to relocate and
    remodel stores primarily in existing markets as leases expire.  As of June
    29, 1996, the Company had three stores on month-to-month leases, 22 stores
    with leases expiring in fiscal 1997 and 75 stores with leases expiring in
    fiscal 1998.  Management is continuing to revise the merchandise assortment
    in new and remodeled stores with a view to further improve store revenues.
    The Company will also seek additional sites in existing markets, where
    appropriate.


<PAGE>


    During the first quarter, Egghead closed six stores and opened one new
    store, for a total of 20 stores with the new store format in operation to
    date.  The Company has signed leases to open five new stores before the end
    of the third quarter.

    GROSS MARGIN (net sales minus cost of sales, including certain buying,
    occupancy, and distribution costs)  was $6.6 million or, as a percentage of
    net sales, 8.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to $10.0
    million or 11.8% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The
    gross margin decline was affected by a decline in initial margin dollars of
    $1.2 million from the previous year due to the 7% decline in consolidated
    revenue.  In addition, costs were higher in the first quarter versus the
    same period of the previous fiscal year by $0.6 million for retail
    occupancy costs, $0.6 million for shrinkage, $0.4 million for distribution
    costs, and $0.3 million for merchandising costs.  Rebate income also
    declined from the comparable period by $0.4 million.  The initial gross
    margin for retail operations, as a percentage of net sales, was 19% during
    the first quarter, an improvement over the 16% initial gross margin for the
    previous quarter and consistent with results for the same period of the
    previous fiscal year.  The Company has made selective price adjustments in
    order to improve its initial gross margin.

    SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) EXPENSE as a percentage of net
    sales was 22.8% in the quarter ended June 29, 1996, compared to 16.9% for
    the quarter ended July 1, 1995.  This increase of $3.6 million over the
    prior year includes several one-time restructure costs totaling
    approximately $2.4 million.  Included in this total is $1.4 million related
    to remaining lease obligations on Egghead's former headquarters and the
    relocation of the Company's headquarters, $0.6 million related to the
    consolidation of distribution facilities and $0.4 million of severance
    expense for the reduction of approximately 50 corporate staff.  SG&A
    expenses related to retail operations were $0.8 million higher in the first
    quarter as compared to the same period of the previous year.  The increase
    was mainly due to payroll and benefits of $0.2 million, store signs of $0.3
    million and other items of $0.3 million.  Remaining SG&A expenses in total
    were higher in the first quarter as compared to the same period of the
    previous year by $0.2 million mainly as a result of higher systems costs in
    the areas of contract labor and maintenance contracts.

    During the first quarter, Egghead also spent approximately $0.4 million on
    ELEKOM, its electronic commerce subsidiary.  Including the first quarter
    investment, Egghead, has invested a cumulative total of $1.9 million in
    ELEKOM.  The Company's Board of Directors has authorized, during fiscal
    year 1997, investments of up to $3.0 million to be made in ELEKOM.  ELEKOM
    formed strategic agreements with American Express and IBM during the first
    quarter and continues to market its complete electronic commerce solution
    to potential customers.

    The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), which
    Egghead adopted during the first quarter of fiscal 1997, requires the
    Company to write down to fair market value any assets not contributing
    positive cash flow.  The impact on retail operations in the first quarter
    was $0.2 million and is included in SG&A.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE, NET OF AMOUNTS INCLUDED IN COST OF
    SALES, of $1.7 million or 2.2% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal
    1997, compared to $1.8 million or 2.1% of net sales for the prior year
    comparable period, has remained fairly constant.

    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    Due to the sale of the CGE division, all results for the operations of the
    CGE division are reported as a discontinued operation.  Certain general,
    administrative and distribution areas have traditionally supported all of
    the Company's business lines.  The expenses reflected in the discontinued
    operations results reflect only those activities directly related to the
    CGE business.

    On May 13, 1996, Egghead sold its CGE division to SSI for $45.0 million in
    cash. The sale agreement included a Fulfillment Agreement relating to the
    provision by Egghead to SSI of certain support services for a period not to
    exceed 120 days, a Collection Agreement detailing the collection of
    Egghead's CGE related accounts receivable for a period not to exceed 150
    days and a Call Center Lease detailing the lease to SSI for a period of
    three years of a portion of Egghead's Spokane facility.  The CGE sale
    agreement requires Egghead to maintain human and computer resources to
    support the various agreements.  After the fulfillment and collection
    periods, the Company will be able to more fully adjust its cost structure
    and totally focus on the remaining retail-oriented businesses.

    GAIN ON DISPOSAL OF THE DISCONTINUED OPERATION during the first quarter,
    was $22.3 million or $1.27 per share, net of tax.  The sales price for the
    CGE division was $45.0 million in cash, which did not include CGE's current
    accounts receivable that are being liquidated in an orderly manner.  The
    reported gain included the sales proceeds of $45.0 million less fixed
    assets and lease write-offs of $1.2 million, transaction, legal, and
    accounting fees of $2.0 million, transition period employment costs of $1.8
    million, costs related to the fulfillment period of $3.4 million, and taxes
    of $14.3 million.

    LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS was $14.5 million or $0.83 per share, net
    of tax.  The major components of the loss included accounts receivable and
    inventory write-offs and equipment lease buyouts of $4.9 million, warehouse
    closing costs of $3.2 million and operating losses, severance and other
    costs of $3.2 million.  These charges were offset by a tax benefit of $9.3
    million.  During the first quarter, the Company closed a distribution
    center in Wilmington Ohio, and implemented a 40% reduction in operations at
    its distribution center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to reduce excess
    distribution capacity after the sale of the CGE division.

    CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

    CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE was a charge of $0.7
    million, after tax or $0.04 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
    This charge represents the adoption of SFAS 121 and the related writedown
    of the Company's held for sale Kalispell, Montana property and the related
    goodwill.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Cash and cash equivalents increased $45.3 million from $49.6 million at the
    end of fiscal 1996, to $94.9 million at June 29, 1996.  The increase in the
    cash balance was primarily due to the $45.0 million gross proceeds from the
    sale of CGE and a reduction in the net current assets of discontinued
    operations of $64.7 million, which primarily relates to the collection of
    accounts receivable.  These positive factors on the cash balance were
    partially offset by a reduction in accounts payable from $119.3 million on
    March 30, 1996 to $98.2 million on June 29, 1996.  The decline in accounts
    payable was primarily attributable to a reduction from the abnormally high
    level of payables on March 30, 1996 of approximately $11.0 million and the
    reduction of payables related to volume license and maintenance contracts
    (VLAM) of $10.0 million.  The remaining VLAM accounts payable balance of
    approximately $18.0 million will be paid down as a result of the sale of
    the CGE division.  As a result of these first quarter activities, most of
    the assets related to the CGE division have been converted to cash.

    Net nontrade accounts receivable increased $5.9 million from $24.1 million
    at March 30, 1996, to $30.0 million at June 29, 1996.  The increase is due
    primarily to receivables from SSI for certain costs incurred in connection
    with the Fulfillment Agreement.

    Assets of discontinued operations include all of the current assets of CGE
    as of June 29, 1996 and March 30, 1996.  The decrease is due primarily to
    the collection of trade accounts receivable.

    Net property and equipment decreased $3.1 million, from $29.5 million at
    the end of fiscal 1996, to $26.4 million at June 29, 1996.  The decrease is
    principally due to the disposal of assets related to the CGE division.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Egghead, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Egghead, Inc. 
(a Washington corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 29, 1996, and the 
related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the 13-week 
period ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995.  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 applying 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.
