              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
without audit, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are
adequate to make the information not misleading.  These statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended June 3, 1995.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which are necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the twelve and
twenty-four week periods ended November 18, 1995 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

(1)      Company
         -------

         Revco D.S., Inc. ("Revco" or the "Company"), after its acquisition of
         Hook-SupeRx, Inc. ("HSI") on July 15, 1994, operates the second
         largest retail drugstore chain in the United States, with 2,140
         drugstores located in fourteen contiguous states as of November 18,
         1995.

(2)      Inventories
         -----------

         Inventories, which consist principally of merchandise purchased for
         resale, are stated at the lower of cost or market.  The cost of
         substantially all inventories is determined on a last-in, first-out
         ("LIFO") basis.

         If the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method of inventory valuation had
         been used, inventories would have been approximately $44.4 million
         higher than reported at November 18, 1995.  Since the LIFO valuation
         can only be determined at the end of each fiscal year when inflation
         rates and inventory levels are finalized, estimates of LIFO inventory
         costs are required for interim financial statements.

(3)      Reclassification
         ----------------

         Certain balance sheet balances at June 3, 1995 have been reclassified
         to conform to the presentation at November 18, 1995.

(4)      Earnings Per Share
         ------------------

         Earnings per share were computed using the weighted average number of
         shares of common stock outstanding of 66,520,225 and 66,487,089 for
         the twelve weeks ended November 18, 1995 and November 12, 1994,
         respectively.  For the twenty-four weeks ended November 18, 1995 and
         November 12, 1994, the weighted average number of shares of common
         stock outstanding were 66,445,547 and 62,078,043, respectively.

         On July 27, 1995, the Company completed a modification to the credit
         agreements for its bank facilities.  The key changes included in the
         modification are:  (1) the replacement of the HSI Term Credit
         Facility, the Revco Term Credit Facility and a $400.0 million existing
         revolving credit facility with a $650.0 million amortizing revolving
         credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") maturing on July 27,
         2000; (2) a reduction in the Company's effective borrowing rate
         subject to financial performance and long-term debt rating criteria
         contained in the credit agreements; and (3) the elimination of certain
         financial covenants contained in the existing credit agreements.  The
         Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are
         unsecured obligations of the Company.

         The Revolving Credit Facility includes minimum interest and lease
         expense coverage and maximum debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest,
         income taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratios, as well as
         customary other covenants, representations and warranties, funding
         conditions and events of default.  The Company does not believe that
         the restrictions contained in these financial and operating covenants
         will cause significant limitations on the Company's financial
         flexibility.

(6)      Subsequent Event
         ----------------

         On November 30, 1995, the Company and Rite Aid Corporation ("Rite
         Aid") jointly announced that they had entered into an Agreement and
         Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Rite Aid
         would acquire the Company in a two-step transaction involving an
         initial tender offer followed by a merger of a wholly-owned
         acquisition subsidiary of Rite Aid with and into the Company, with the
         Company being the surviving corporation (the "Merger").

         The press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement was
         included with the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6, 1995.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion explains material changes in the Company's results of
operations, comparing the twelve and twenty-four week periods ended November
18, 1995 and November 12, 1994 and significant developments affecting financial
conditions since the end of fiscal year 1995.  The following discussion should
be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company.

On July 15, 1994, Revco completed its previously announced acquisition of
Hook-SupeRx, Inc. ("HSI").  The retained operations of HSI include 801
drugstores and a mail order facility.  For financial reporting purposes, the
retained operations of HSI are included in the Company's results of operations
since July 30, 1994, or for fifteen of the twenty-four weeks in the
"year-to-date 1995" period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the 12 Weeks Ended November 18, 1995 ("second quarter of 1996")
and November 12, 1994 ("second quarter of 1995")

Net sales increased 10.7% to $1,137.0 million for the second quarter of 1996,
from $1,027.2 million for the second quarter of 1995.  On a comparable store
basis, net sales increased 9.1% for the quarter, with core Revco stores rising
9.7% and HSI stores rising 8.1%.

Prescription sales, which comprised 59.3% of net sales for the second quarter
of 1996, were primarily responsible for the overall increase in net sales,
increasing $88.3 million, or 15.1%.  The number of prescriptions filled by the
Company increased 13.6% from the second quarter of 1995 to the second quarter
of 1996.  Although a portion of this increase in prescriptions filled is
attributable to an increase in the number of store locations, the majority of
the increase is attributable to comparable store sales growth.  The increase in
prescription sales was attributable to increases in managed care sales.  These
sales, which the Company continues to market aggressively, continue to outpace
the overall growth rate in prescription business.  Managed care sales, which
comprised 69.8% of total prescription sales for the second quarter of 1996,
versus 63.6% for the second quarter of 1995, increased 26.2%.

Over-the-counter ("OTC") sales increased $21.5 million, or 4.9%, to $462.5
million for the second quarter of 1996 from $441.0 million in the second
quarter of 1995.  The majority of this increase is attributable to the growth
in the number of store locations, which increased 3.4% from November 12, 1994.

Cost of sales increased 11.5% to $808.7 million in the second quarter of 1996
from $725.5 million in the second quarter of 1995.  Gross margin increased 8.8%
but, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 28.9% versus 29.4% for the second
quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The LIFO charge increased $1.2 million
from $3.0 million in the second quarter of 1995 to $4.2 million in the second
quarter of 1996 due to increased inventory levels resulting from the HSI
acquisition.  Margin rates associated with prescription sales declined due to
the increase in managed care sales as a percentage of total prescription sales
and the continued pressure on margin rates within existing managed care
business.  Managed care sales have positively impacted the Company's net sales
and gross margin dollar growth, but generally yield lower profit percentages
than non-managed care sales.  The decline in the prescription margin rate and
higher LIFO charge was partially offset by an increase in the OTC gross margin
rate due to improved purchasing terms.

Operating expenses increased $14.1 million, or 5.6%, but decreased as a
percentage of sales to 23.6% in the second quarter of 1996 from 24.7% in the
second quarter of 1995.  The dollar increase in operating expenses is
attributable to a 3.4% growth in the number of store locations.  The
improvement in operating expenses as a percentage of sales is attributable to
the Company's ability to leverage relatively fixed, non-store expenses over a
broader store base as a result of the HSI acquisition.

<PAGE>   9
The Company's effective income tax rate of 48.0% for the second quarter of 1996
differs from the federal income tax statutory rate of 35.0% principally because
of state and local income taxes (5.6%) and permanent differences arising from:
(i) amortization of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to
identifiable assets totaling $4.1 million; and (ii) amortization of goodwill
totaling $2.2 million for the quarter.

Comparison of the 24 Weeks Ended November 18, 1995 ("year-to-date 1996") and
November 12, 1994 ("year-to-date 1995")

Net sales increased 28.6% to $2,213.7 million for the year-to-date 1996, from
$1,721.6 million for the year-to-date 1995.  HSI retained operations generated
$334.8 million of the net sales increase, while net sales from core Revco
stores increased $157.3 million or 13.0%.  On a comparable store basis, net
sales increased 8.7% for the year-to-date period, with core Revco stores rising
9.1% and HSI stores rising 7.4%.

Prescription sales, which comprised 58.6% of net sales for the year-to-date
1996, were primarily responsible for the overall increase in net sales,
increasing $324.3 million, or 33.3%.  HSI retained operations generated $204.9
million of the prescription sales increase.  Prescription sales in core Revco
stores increased $119.4 million, or 17.5%. The number of prescriptions filled
by the Company in core Revco stores increased 12.6% from the year-to-date 1995
to the year-to-date 1996, with the majority of the increase being attributable
to comparable store sales growth.  The increase in prescription sales was
attributable to increases in managed care sales.  Managed care sales in core
Revco stores increased 32.9% for the year-to-date 1996.  Managed care sales
comprised 69.0% of total prescription sales for the year-to-date 1996.

OTC sales increased $167.8 million, or 22.4%, to $916.1 million for the
year-to-date 1996 from $748.3 million for the year-to-date 1995.  HSI retained
operations generated $129.9 million of the OTC sales increase.  OTC sales in
core Revco stores increased $37.9 million, or 7.2%.

Cost of sales increased 29.0% to $1,564.6 million in the year-to-date 1996 from
$1,213.0 million in the year-to-date 1995.  Gross margin increased 27.6% but,
as a percentage of sales, decreased slightly, to 29.3% versus 29.5% for the
year-to-date 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The LIFO charge increased $3.2
million to $8.3 million in the year-to-date 1996 due to increased inventory
levels resulting from the HSI acquisition.   Margin rates associated with
prescription sales declined due to the increase in managed care sales as a
percentage of total prescription sales and the continued pressure on margin
rates within existing managed care business.  Managed care sales have
positively impacted the Company's net sales and gross margin dollar growth, but
generally yield lower profit percentages than non-managed care sales.  The
decline in the prescription margin rate and higher LIFO charge was partially
offset by an increase in the OTC gross margin rate due to improved purchasing
terms.

Operating expenses increased $105.7 million, or 24.8%, but decreased as a
percentage of sales to 24.0% in the year-to-date 1996 from 24.8% in the
year-to-date 1995.  The dollar increase in operating expenses is attributable
to the growth in number of store locations as a result of the HSI acquisition.
The improvement in operating expenses as a percentage of sales is attributable
to the Company's ability to leverage relatively fixed, non-store expenses over
a broader store base as a result of the HSI acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $10.7 million, from $38.6
million in the year-to-date 1995 to $49.3 million in the year-to-date 1996.  Of
this increase, $4.8 million is due to the inclusion of HSI retained operations
in the Company's consolidated results of operations.  Depreciation expense
associated with the Company's installation of its PAL system and POS scanning
in the retained HSI stores, completed during fiscal 1995, accounted for the
majority of the remaining increase.

Net interest expense was $29.2 million for the year-to-date 1996 compared to
$22.0 million for the year-to-date 1995.  The increase in net interest expense
between the year-to-date periods is attributable to higher average debt
balances outstanding as a result of the HSI acquisition.

The Company's effective income tax rate of 48.0% for the year-to-date 1996
differs from the federal income tax statutory rate of 35.0% principally because
of state and local income taxes (5.6%) and permanent differences arising from:
(i) amortization of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to
identifiable assets totaling $8.2 million; and (ii) amortization of goodwill
totaling $4.4 million for the year-to-date 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following discussion regarding liquidity and capital resources should be
read in conjunction with the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as
of November 18, 1995 and June 3, 1995 and the Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Cash Flows for the period ended November 18, 1995.

Cash, including temporary cash investments, increased $4.9 million to $8.3
million.  Cash generated by operations, before working capital items, totaled
$76.6 million, an improvement of $17.4 million from the $59.2 million generated
during the year-to-date 1995.  Net changes in working capital items (and other
operating assets and liabilities) resulted in a $50.7 million use of cash, the
majority of which, $41.0 million, represented a seasonal increase in inventory
levels, net of vendor support.

Net cash used for investing activities totaled $70.5 million, all of which
related to the Company's capital expenditures during the year-to-date 1996.
Among other capital expenditures, $31.6 million represented the Company's
investment in new stores and the upgrade through relocation or expansion of its
existing drugstore base.  During the year-to-date 1996, the Company opened 68
new stores, of which 25 were relocations and 14 were acquired stores, and
closed 21 stores.  The Company spent $12.3 million to upgrade POS registers in
existing core Revco drugstores with improved technology.  An additional $13.4
million was spent on the HSI store base during the year-to-date 1996 to
continue remodeling the HSI stores to Revco's store design and decor package
and to install anti-theft detection systems in all of the remaining HSI stores.
During the year-to-date 1996, Revco completed the remodeling of 127 acquired
HSI stores, bringing the total number of former HSI stores remodeled since the
HSI acquisition to 282 stores.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $49.5 million, primarily
representing additional borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility").  On July 27, 1995, the Company
completed a modification to the credit agreements for its bank facilities.  The
key changes included in the modification are:  (1) the replacement of its term
credit facilities and its existing $400.0 million revolving credit facility
with a $650.0 million amortizing Revolving Credit Facility maturing on July 27,
2000; (2) a reduction in the Company's effective borrowing rate subject to
financial performance and long-term debt rating criteria contained in the
credit agreements; and (3) the elimination of certain financial covenants
contained in the existing credit agreements.  The Company's obligations under
the Revolving Credit Facility are unsecured obligations of the Company.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes minimum interest and lease expense
coverage and maximum debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization) ratios, as well as customary other covenants,
representations and warranties, funding conditions and events of default.  The
Company does not believe that the restrictions contained in these financial and
operating covenants will cause significant limitations on the Company's
financial flexibility.

In addition to cash borrowings outstanding, the Company had approximately $28.5
million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit
Facility at November 18, 1995, to support insurance programs and other general
corporate needs.

During the remainder of fiscal 1996, the Company intends to open or acquire
approximately 56 additional new Revco stores and relocate an additional 30
existing Revco stores.  The Company has no material commitments in connection
with these planned capital expenditures.  Funds for these expenditures are
expected to be provided from the Revolving Credit Facility and cash generated
internally.





                                      10
<PAGE>   11
The Company has three principal sources of liquidity:  (i) cash and cash
equivalents; (ii) the $650.0 million Revolving Credit Facility; and (iii) cash
from operations.  Management of the Company believes that the Company's cash on
hand and cash from operations, together with borrowings and letters of credit
under the Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to cover its working
capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements until the maturity
date of the Revolving Credit Facility.

On October 1, 1995, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the
assets of Revco Home Health Care Centers, Inc., a wholly-owned home care
subsidiary which operates 32 retail locations providing medical supplies,
durable medical equipment and medical services, for $10.4 million in cash plus
the assumption by the buyer of obligations arising under the store leases from
and after the closing date.  The Company used the sales proceeds to reduce
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On November 30, 1995, the Company and Rite Aid Corporation ("Rite Aid") jointly
announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Rite Aid would acquire the Company in a
two-step transaction involving an initial tender offer followed by a merger of
a wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary of Rite Aid with and into the Company,
with the Company being the surviving corporation (the "Merger").

The press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement was included
with the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 6, 1995.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         -----------------

         In addition to being involved from time to time in the assertion of
         claims and in litigation incidental to the normal course of business,
         the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, HSI, is a defendant in a
         lawsuit in connection with various claims of injuries resulting from
         the consumption of L-Tryptophan which was claimed to have been sold by
         HSI.  The insurance company for the vendor who sold the product to HSI
         has assumed the legal defense of the outstanding lawsuit, which is
         further described on Exhibit 99.1.  One previously reported case
         involving the same product has been settled, as further described on
         Exhibit 99.1.

         The Company is also a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the United
         States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma (Case
         Number CIV-95-1321-T) by seven plaintiffs, acting individually and as
         representatives of five deceased infants, alleging personal injury or
         death due to a product, E-Ferol, manufactured by Carter-Glogau
         Laboratories, Inc., an inactive subsidiary of the Company now known as
         Retrac, Inc., prior to December 1986.  The plaintiffs are seeking
         unspecified actual and exemplary damages.  As of the date of this
         report, the case was in the early stages of discovery.

         On November 30, 1995, a purported class action entitled Silvert v.
         Revco D.S., Inc. et al. ("Silvert"), was filed in the Court of
         Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, on behalf of the
         class of all the Company's stockholders.  The Silvert complaint named
         the Company, all of the Company's directors and Rite Aid as
         defendants.  The Silvert complaint alleges that the $27.50 per share
         price offered by Rite Aid in its tender offer is insufficient and
         unfair to the Company's stockholders and represents an attempt by the
         defendants to enrich themselves at the expense of the plaintiff class.
         The plaintiff in the Silvert action asserts that defendants violated
         their fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders by allegedly
         failing adequately to evaluate the Company as a potential acquisition
         candidate; to take adequate steps to enhance the Company's value as an
         acquisition candidate; and to create an active and open auction for
         the Company.  The Silvert complaint further alleges that the Company's
         grant to Rite Aid of a stock option in connection with the Merger
         Agreement impedes the maximization of Company stockholder value.  The
         Silvert complaint seeks, among other relief, a preliminary and
         permanent injunction barring defendants from taking any steps to
         accomplish the proposed merger at a price that is not fair and
         equitable to the plaintiffs and enjoining any improper device or
         transaction which will impede maximization of stockholder value.  The
         Silvert complaint also seeks unspecified damages for losses suffered
         and to be suffered by the plaintiff class as a result of the acts
         alleged in the Silvert complaint.

         Management is of the opinion that although the ultimate resolution of
         such litigation cannot be forecast with certainty, final disposition
         of this and other litigation should not materially affect the
         consolidated financial position of the Company.
