                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   THIRTEEN WEEKS AND TWENTY SIX WEEKS ENDED AUGUST 3, 1997 AND JULY 28, 1996

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of PETsMART,
     Inc. and Subsidiaries ("PETsMART" or "Company") have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
     information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
     included.

     Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of
     operations for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 1997
     and July 28, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the
     financial statements and footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended
     February 2, 1997, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
     (File No. 0-21888) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
     April 28, 1997.


NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

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

     Financial data for all periods presented reflect the retroactive effects of
     the January 1996 merger with State Line Tack, Inc. ("State Line Tack"), and
     the December 1996 merger with Pet City Holdings plc ("Pet City"), both of
     which have been accounted for as poolings of interest.  The consolidated
     financial statements have been prepared by combining the historical
     financial statements of PETsMART with the historical financial statements
     of the acquired entities.

     Of the above transactions, only Pet City required any material adjustments
     to retained earnings in order to conform with PETsMART's fiscal year end,
     as all prior historical financial statements of State Line Tack were for
     fiscal years ended within 93 days of the Company's fiscal year end.  The
     Pet City transaction was accounted for by combining the historical
     financial statements of PETsMART for each of the two years in the period
     ended February 2, 1997 with the historical financial statements of Pet City
     Holdings for the 53 week period ended February 2, 1997 and the 52 week
     period ended July 27, 1996, respectively.  An adjustment of $1.3 million
     was required to the retained earnings of PETsMART during the 53 week period
     ended February 2, 1997 in order to conform the fiscal year end of Pet City
     to PETsMART's fiscal year.  No material adjustments were necessary in
     either of the above transactions to conform the accounting practices of the
     companies, nor, for periods preceding the mergers, were there any
     intercompany transactions which required elimination from the combined
     consolidated results.


NOTE 3 - STOCK SPLITS

     On July 19, 1996, the Company effected a 2-for-1 split of its common stock
     in the form of a stock dividend to stockholders of record on July 8, 1996. 
     All share and per share data has been restated to reflect the stock splits
     effected in the form of a stock dividend.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   THIRTEEN WEEKS AND TWENTY SIX WEEKS ENDED AUGUST 3, 1997 AND JULY 28, 1996

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 4 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

     1996 ACQUISITIONS

     During fiscal 1996, the Company acquired, in two separate transactions, all
     of the outstanding equity interests of State Line Tack in exchange for
     1,200,000 shares of PETsMART common stock, including approximately 76,000
     shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options, and of Pet
     City for approximately 7,844,000 shares of PETsMART common stock, plus
     approximately 304,000 shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of Pet
     City stock options assumed in the merger.

     In connection with the above transactions, the Company recorded merger and
     business integration charges of $28.4 million in fiscal 1996, of which $8.1
     million related to the State Line Tack acquisition and was recorded in the
     first fiscal quarter ended April 28, 1996 and of which $20.3 million
     related to Pet City and was recorded in the fourth fiscal quarter ended
     February 2, 1997.  These charges included investment banking, legal and
     accounting fees, and miscellaneous transaction costs ($8.8 million),
     provision for the closure of redundant or inadequate facilities ($5.5
     million), costs associated with the reformatting, refixturing and
     remerchandising the acquired superstores to the format consistent with that
     of a PETsMART superstore ($11.0 million), and other costs of integration
     ($3.1 million).

     Also during the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 1996 ("second quarter 1996"),
     the Company recorded merger and integration charges of $12.3 million,
     principally as a result of a change in its accounting estimate of the lease
     termination costs anticipated to be incurred in connection with the
     settlement of lease obligations for the 17 former Petstuff, along with
     seven lease commitments for future Petstuff locations that were either
     duplicate or inadequate facilities and, therefore, never opened.  The
     Company estimated lease settlement costs associated with the closed stores,
     and the leases related to the unopened locations, would require $10.8
     million of additional expenditures.  The remaining $1.5 million of the
     additional charge was primarily related to Petstuff store conversion costs.

     During the first fiscal quarter ended May 4, 1997, the Company recorded
     merger and business integration charges related to the Pet City acquisition
     of $9.6 million before income taxes.  This charge included costs associated
     with the reformatting, refixturing and remerchandising of the acquired
     stores to the format consistent with that of a PETsMART superstore,
     including changing the tradename ($8.6 million), and other costs of
     integration ($1.0 million). 

     During the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 1997 ("second quarter 1997"), the
     Company recorded $1.1 million before income taxes of merger and business
     integration charges related to the Pet City acquisition.  This charge
     included costs associated with reformatting, refixturing and 
     remerchandising the acquired stores to the format consistent with that of a
     PETsMART superstore, and other costs of integration.  Further merger and
     integration charges related to the Pet City transaction, if any, will be
     recorded in the period incurred and are not expected to exceed the
     Company's original total estimate for second fiscal quarter of 1997 of $5.1
     million.  The Company also recorded approximately $3.0 million of merger
     and integration charges during second quarter 1997 as a result of certain
     additional real estate costs incurred in connection with certain of its
     previous acquisitions.

NOTE 5 - MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS:

     In second quarter 1997, the Company incurred charges of $61.0 million
     ($38.2 million after its related income tax benefit, or $0.33 per share) to
     cover the costs of closing 9 underperforming stores and relocating 24
     stores previously identified as candidates for closure over the next two
     years, the discontinuance of the Discovery Center department within all
     stores, including the write-off of related inventory and fixtures, as well
     as provisions for the closure of excess facilities, and other charges,
     including merger and integration charges of $4.1 million as a result of its
     December 1996 merger with Pet City and additional costs resulting from the
     Company's prior mergers (See Note 4).  Approximately $44.9 million of the
     $61.0 million total charge was recorded as a separate restructuring charge
     during second quarter 1997.  Of the remaining $16.1 million, approximately
     $9.4 million of related charges were recorded as cost of goods sold, $3.3
     million were recorded as store operating expenses, and $3.4 million were
     included in general and administrative expenses for the period.

     The activity within the accrued merger and restructuring costs liability
     account is summarized below (in thousands):

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

Except for the historical information contained herein, the following 
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and 
uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could materially differ from 
those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such 
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section, 
as well as in the sections entitled PURCHASING AND DISTRIBUTION, COMPETITION, 
and RISK FACTORS, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 
ended February 2, 1997.

GENERAL

At August 3, 1997, PETsMART operated 373 superstores in North America and 67 
stores in the United Kingdom.  Net sales grew 23.4% for the thirteen weeks 
ended August 3, 1997 compared to the same period of 1996, due principally to 
the opening of new superstores and comparable store sales increases of 4% for 
the North American superstores and 7% for the United Kingdom superstores.  
The Company believes that comparable store sales increases have been largely 
due to increased customer traffic.  In view of the increasing maturity of its 
superstore base, as well as the opening of additional superstores in existing 
markets and single-store markets, the Company anticipates that its rate of 
comparable store sales growth may continue to be lower in future periods than 
historically reported.  The Company also expects that future increases in net 
sales and net income, if any, will be dependent on the opening and 
profitability of new superstores.  There can be no assurance that the Company 
will be able to achieve its planned expansion on a timely and profitable 
basis or that the combined operations and recent mergers with State Line Tack 
and Pet City will be successful or that there will be no material adverse 
effects on the financial results of the Company from the efforts to integrate 
the above acquisitions.

As a result of its expansion plans, the Company anticipates certain costs, 
such as preopening expenses and occupancy, may increase in the near term.  In 
addition, the timing of new superstore openings and related preopening 
expenses and the amount of revenue contributed by new and existing 
superstores may cause the Company's quarterly results of operations to 
fluctuate.  Since new superstores have higher payroll, advertising and other 
store level expenses as a percentage of sales than mature superstores, the 
anticipated level of new superstore openings will also contribute to lower 
store operating margins.  The Company anticipates opening at least 28 
superstores over the remainder of fiscal 1997, including 14 stores in the 
United Kingdom and approximately 21 stores worldwide in the third fiscal 
quarter.  The Company charges preopening costs associated with each new 
superstore to earnings when the superstore is opened.  Therefore, the Company 
expects that the opening of large numbers of new superstores in a given 
quarter will adversely impact its quarterly results of operations for that 
quarter. 

The Company's business also is subject to some seasonal fluctuation. 
Historically, the Company has realized a higher portion of its net 

                                       9
<PAGE>

sales during the month of December and a lower portion of its net sales 
during the summer months.  PETsMART's superstores typically draw from a large 
retail area and can therefore be impacted by adverse weather and travel 
conditions.  Sales of certain of the Company's products and services designed 
to address seasonal flea and tick problems have been and may continue to be 
negatively impacted by the introduction of new alternative treatments, as 
well as by weather conditions that are not favorable to the development of 
fleas and ticks.

On January 30, 1996, PETsMART completed the acquisition of State Line Tack, 
Inc., the leading worldwide catalog operator specializing in discount brand 
name tack, riding apparel and equine supplies.  The Company has recently 
completed the integration of the State Line Tack administrative and 
fulfillment operations into its Rochester, New York facility.  Although State 
Line Tack was accretive to earnings in fiscal 1996, there can be no assurance 
that State Line Tack can maintain its profitability.

On December 18, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the 
outstanding equity interests of Pet City Holdings, plc, the largest pet 
industry specialty retailer in the United Kingdom.  The Company has 
substantially completed the process of integrating the Pet City stores into 
the PETsMART format, including changing the tradename, modifying the 
merchandise mix and implementing PETsMART's operating and marketing 
philosophies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Over the past three years, the Company has acquired several businesses to 
complement and expand the Company's geographical presence, store locations 
and business, all of which have been accounted for under the pooling of 
interests method.  Additionally, during second quarter 1997, the Company 
initiated a restructuring of certain aspects of its operations and, as a 
consequence, the Company recorded charges during the thirteen weeks ended 
August 3, 1997 ("second quarter 1997") totaling $61.0 million.  Such charges 
consist of $44.9 million, before income taxes, of merger and restructuring 
charges related to the closure and relocation of certain stores, the 
elimination of certain departments within all stores, and additional costs 
associated with the Company's previous mergers, and $16.1 million, before 
income taxes, of other charges. Approximately $9.4 million of these other 
charges have been recorded in the second quarter 1997 Statement of Operations 
as a component of cost of goods sold, $3.3 million has been recorded as a 
component of store operating expenses, and $3.4 million has been included in 
general and administrative expenses.

Due to the cash inflows from the liquidation of inventory and the related tax 
benefits associated with the discontinued concepts and the closed stores, the 
Company estimates an approximate $12.0 million to $13.0 million positive net 
cash flow from the restructuring activities over the next two years.

                                       10
<PAGE>

The $44.9 million of merger and restructuring charges includes approximately 
$30.0 million related to the closure and relocation of 33 underperforming 
stores.  Nine stores will be permanently closed, and the remaining 24 stores 
will be closed and replaced with new stores in the same general trade area.  
The charges comprise the net present value of amounts anticipated to be 
incurred in connection with the settlement of the leases for the closed 
stores and the write-off of related Company-owned store fixtures and 
leasehold improvements.

Approximately $8.5 million of the $44.9 million of restructuring charges 
relates to the discontinuance of the Discovery Center department within all 
stores and includes the costs associated with disposal of fixtures and 
equipment related to this department.

Also included in the $44.9 million of restructuring charges is a total of 
approximately $4.1 million related to the Company's previous acquisitions.  
As a result of its acquisition of Pet City in December 1996, the Company 
recorded merger and integration charges of $1.1 million during second quarter 
1997 primarily related to reformatting, refixturing, and remerchandising the 
acquired stores to the format consistent with that of a PETsMART superstore, 
and other costs of integration.  This amount is consistent with previous 
Company estimates.  Further merger and integration charges related to the Pet 
City transaction will be recorded in the period incurred and are not expected 
to exceed the Company's original total estimate for second quarter 1997 of 
$5.1 million.  The Company also recorded approximately $3.0 million of merger 
and integration charges during second quarter 1997 as a result of additional 
real estate costs incurred in connection with certain of its previous 
acquisitions.

The remaining $2.3 million of the $44.9 million merger and restructuring 
charges includes approximately $1.0 million of costs associated with the 
Company's decision to complete the consolidation of the Ennis, Texas 
distribution center into the Company's new Phoenix, Arizona facility and 
approximately $1.3 million representing the write-off of the Company's 
investments in certain long-term assets which were impaired as a result of 
the Company's decision to exit certain store departments.

The $9.4 million of other charges reflected as a component of cost of goods 
sold includes the writedown of the Discovery Center inventory from cost to 
net realizable value in connection with the discontinuance of that 
department, as well as the writedown of certain non-Discovery Center 
inventory from cost to net realizable value as a result of the decision to 
exit other product categories. The Company anticipates that all such 
discontinued inventory will be sold by the end of fiscal 1997.

The $3.3 million of other charges reflected as a component of store operating 
expenses and the $3.4 million of one-time charges reflected as general and 
administrative expenses consist primarily of charges related to certain costs 
of several litigation matters, expenses related to the preliminary stages of 
a consulting project for new management information systems, as well as 
charges related to other miscellaneous matters.

                                       11
<PAGE>

The following discussion of results of operations for the thirteen and 
twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 1997 and July 28, 1996 excludes the 
effect of the merger and restructuring charges and other charges discussed 
above for all periods presented.

SECOND QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1996

Net sales increased 23.4% to $425.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended 
August 3, 1997 from $345.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 
1996("second quarter 1996"). Second quarter 1997 sales were adversely 
affected by continued softness in sales, as well as by the operational 
difficulties which arose late in first quarter 1997 related to inventory 
levels and ineffective advertising. The Company anticipates that certain of 
the negative sales impacts will continue through third quarter 1997, since 
the Company competes with back to school spending and other seasonal consumer 
buying patterns, as well as potential sales disruptions due to the Company's 
efforts to retrofit and remerchandise the discontinued Discovery Center 
department in all stores.  Comparable North American store sales increased 4% 
in second quarter 1997, and comparable United Kingdom store sales increased 
7%. The Company opened 28 new superstores in North America, four in the 
United Kingdom and relocated two superstores in the thirteen weeks ended 
August 3, 1997. The Company had 440 superstores in operation worldwide at the 
end of second quarter 1997 compared to 342 superstores open at the end of 
second quarter 1996, after giving effect to its recent mergers.

Gross profit, defined as net sales less cost of sales, including distribution 
costs and store occupancy costs, decreased as a percentage of net sales to 
24.9% for second quarter 1997 as compared to 28.9% for second quarter 1996, 
primarily as a result of higher occupancy costs in newer locations, increased 
warehouse and distribution costs, and lower than anticipated vendor moneys 
due to reduced purchasing activities.

Store operating expenses, which includes payroll and benefits, advertising 
and other store level expenses, increased as a percentage of net sales to 
19.7% for second quarter 1997 from 19.3% for second quarter 1996.  This 
increase as a percentage of net sales was due to increased store labor costs 
and increased advertising expenditures.  

Store preopening expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 0.7% of 
net sales for second quarter 1997 compared to 0.9% for second quarter 1996, 
primarily as a result of the higher preopening costs associated with the five 
large-box format stores opened in San Diego in 1996.  The Company opened 28 
North American stores and four United Kingdom stores during the period, as 
compared to 20 stores during the same period last year.  Average preopening 
costs for second quarter 1997 remained consistent with prior periods at 
approximately $100,000 per store.

General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 
2.7% for second quarter 1997 from 3.3% for second quarter 1996. 

                                       12
<PAGE>

This decrease was the result of an ongoing focus on expense management in 
both the North American and United Kingdom retail operations.

The Company generated operating income of $7.4 million for the second quarter 
1997 compared to $18.3 million in the second quarter 1996. Operating income 
as a percentage of sales decreased to 1.7% for second quarter 1997 from 5.3% 
for second quarter 1996.

Interest income decreased to $0.1 million for second quarter 1997 from $0.3 
million for second quarter 1996 principally due to the decrease in average 
cash balances in second quarter 1997 compared to second quarter 1996.  
Interest expense increased to $3.4 million for second quarter 1997 from $2.4 
million for second quarter 1996 principally due to higher average borrowings 
during the second quarter 1997.

The Company's income tax provision for both second quarter 1997 and second 
quarter 1996 reflects the effects of the nondeductibility of certain of the 
costs associated with the merger and restructuring charges recorded in both 
years.  Additionally, the statutory reduction in the United Kingdom corporate 
tax rate enacted during second quarter 1997 required a $0.6 million charge to 
reflect the decrease in the deferred tax asset due to the rate reduction.  
After excluding the effects of these items, the Company's effective income 
tax rate from operations was 38.5% and 38% for the first half of 1997 and 
1996, respectively.

Excluding the second quarter 1997 and second quarter 1996 merger and 
restructuring charges and other charges, and the related tax benefits, net 
income for second quarter 1997, on a comparable basis, was $2.5 million (or 
$0.02 per share), as compared to net income of $10.1 million (or $0.09 per 
share) for second quarter 1996.  Including the effect of the restructuring 
and other charges recorded in both years, the Company reported a net loss of 
$35.7 million (or $0.31 per share) for second quarter 1997 compared to net 
income of $2.2 million (or $0.02 per share) for second quarter 1996.

TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED AUGUST 3, 1997 COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED 
JULY 28, 1996

Net sales increased 24.1% to $838.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended 
August 3, 1997 from $675.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 
1996. Comparable North American store sales increased 5.1% in the first half 
of 1997, and comparable United Kingdom store sales increased 6.2%.  During 
the period, the Company opened 68 new superstores and closed four relocated 
stores. The Company had 440 superstores in operation at August 3, 1997 
compared to 342 superstores open at July 28, 1996, after giving effect to its 
recent mergers.

Gross profit, defined as net sales less cost of sales, including distribution 
costs and store occupancy costs, decreased as a percentage of net sales to 
24.8% for 1997 year to date as compared to 28.3% for the same period of 1996. 
The decrease is primarily a result of higher occupancy costs in newer 
locations, increased warehouse and distribution costs, and lower than 
anticipated vendor moneys due to reduced purchasing activities.

                                       13
<PAGE>

Store operating expenses, which includes payroll and benefits, advertising 
and other store level expenses, decreased as a percentage of net sales to 
19.2% for the period from 20.0% for the first half of last year.  This 
decrease is the result of improved expense leverage in the United Kingdom 
stores.

Store preopening expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 0.7% for 
1997 compared to 0.8% for 1996, primarily as a result of the higher 
preopening costs associated with the five large-box format stores opened in 
San Diego in 1996.  The Company opened 57 North American stores and eleven 
United Kingdom stores during the period, as compared to 46 stores during the 
same period last year.  Average preopening costs for first half 1997 remained 
consistent with prior periods at approximately $100,000 per store.

General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 
2.5% for the year to date 1997 from 3.1% for the comparable period of 1996.  
These expenses reflected continued expense management in both North American 
and United Kingdom operations.

The Company's operating income decreased to $19.4 million for the twenty-six 
weeks ended August 3, 1997 from $29.4 million for the comparable period of 
1996. Operating income as a percentage of sales decreased to 2.3% for 1997 
from 4.4% for 1996.

Interest income decreased to $0.1 million for 1997 from $0.8 for 1996 
principally due to the decrease in average cash balances in 1997 compared to 
1996.  Interest expense increased to $6.1 million for 1997 from $4.2 million 
for 1996 principally due to higher average borrowings during the twenty-six 
weeks ended August 3, 1997.

The Company's income tax provision for both 1997 and 1996 reflects the 
effects of the nondeductibility of certain of the costs associated with the 
merger and restructuring charges recorded in both years.  Additionally, the 
statutory reduction in the United Kingdom corporate tax rate enacted during 
second quarter 1997 required a $0.6 million charge to reflect the decrease in 
the deferred tax asset due to the rate reduction.  After excluding the 
effects of these items, the Company's effective income tax rate from 
operations was 38.5% and 38% for the first half of 1997 and 1996, 
respectively.

Excluding the merger and restructuring charges and other charges, and the 
related tax benefits, net income for the 1997 period, on a comparable basis, 
decreased to $8.2 million (or $0.07 per share), a $7.9 million decrease from 
the first half of fiscal 1996. Including the effect of the restructuring and 
other charges recorded in both years, the Company reported a net loss of 
$36.5 million (or $0.32 per share) for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 
1997 compared to net income of $2.6 million (or $0.02 per share) for the 1996 
comparable period.

                                       14

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations and expansion program to date 
principally through the sale of equity securities, raising an aggregate of 
approximately $382 million since the Company's inception, as well as from 
cash flow from operations.  Additional sources of financing include real and 
personal property leases, bank lines of credit and vendor terms on inventory 
purchases.

At August 3, 1997, total assets were $692.5 million, of which $412.4 million 
were current assets.  Cash and cash equivalents were $34.5 million.  The 
principal use of operating cash is the purchase of merchandise inventories. 
This usage is reduced by vendor credit terms that allow the Company to 
finance a portion of its inventory purchases.  Since PETsMART's sales are on 
a cash and carry basis, cash flow generated from operating superstores 
provides a source of liquidity to the Company.  

Cash used in operations was $47.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended 
August 3, 1997, compared to cash used in operations of $29.6 million for the 
same period of the prior year.  Approximately $11.0 million of the net cash 
used in operations during the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 1997 related 
to the timing of inventory purchases and payments during the second quarter 
1997 for inventory balances required for the stores opened in second quarter 
1997. Merchandise accounts payable leveraging (the percentage of merchandise 
inventory financed by vendor credit terms, e.g. accounts payable divided by 
merchandise inventory), decreased to 39.4% at August 3, 1997, compared to 
46.1% at February 2, 1997.  Inventory balances were approximately $285.0 
million at August 3, 1997, and $300.9 million at February 2, 1997.  Average 
North American store inventory, which excludes catalog distribution center 
inventories, decreased 16% to $673,000 per store at August 3, 1997, from 
approximately $800,000 at February 2, 1997, due to management's efforts to 
improve inventory turns.  The initial reduction during first quarter 1997 was 
in excess of management's plans and the Company believes sales were lost due 
to out-of-stock conditions in certain categories and locations.  Management 
currently anticipates that inventory balances, in the aggregate, will 
increase moderately over the remainder of fiscal 1997.       

The Company has used cash in investing activities since inception to purchase 
leaseholds, fixtures and equipment for new superstores and, to a lesser 
extent, to purchase equipment and computer software in support of its 
administrative functions.  The Company has also used cash to purchase 
superstores for sale and leaseback.  Net cash used in investing activities 
was $17.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 1997.

Net cash flow from financing activities, primarily borrowings and repayments 
under the Company's bank credit facility and proceeds from the exercise of 
employee stock options, was $58.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended 
August 3, 1997.

                                       15
<PAGE>

During second quarter 1997, the Company amended certain covenants, interest 
rates, and definitions within its $125 million revolving bank credit 
arrangement that expires April 30, 2000.  Borrowings under the credit 
facility are unsecured and bear interest, at PETsMART's option, at either the 
bank's prime rate or LIBOR plus 0.875%.  The credit facility contains certain 
restrictive covenants relating to net worth, debt to equity ratios, capital 
expenditures and minimum fixed charge coverage.  The Company expects to meet 
all existing covenants in its credit agreement for the remainder of fiscal 
1997.  At August 3, 1997, $81.0 million was outstanding under the credit 
facility.

The Company also has several lease arrangements with leasing companies that 
the Company uses to finance certain store and warehouse fixtures and 
equipment, point-of-sale equipment and management information systems.

The Company's primary long-term capital requirement is for opening new 
superstores, as well as funding for its planned management information system 
upgrade and annual inventory buildup in anticipation of the holiday season.  
All of the Company's superstores are leased facilities.  The Company 
currently expects to open at least 28 additional superstores in the remainder 
of fiscal 1997, including five stores in Canada and 14 stores in the United 
Kingdom.  The Company estimates that its net cash requirements to open each 
superstore, including store fixtures and equipment, leasehold improvements, 
preopening costs and inventory will range from $680,000 to $1,240,000.  This 
amount will include from $50,000 to $600,000 for leasehold improvements, 
depending upon whether the superstore site is a build-to-suit or a 
rehabilitated unit.  Based upon the Company's current plan to open at least 
28 additional superstores by the end of fiscal 1997, between $19.0 million 
and $34.7 million will be needed to finance the Company's new superstore 
openings in the remainder of fiscal 1997, of which approximately $9.0 million 
to $18.0 million will be financed through equipment leases.  The Company may 
also expend additional funds to take advantage of opportunities that arise 
from time to time for the acquisition of businesses or lease rights from 
tenants occupying retail space that is suitable for a PETsMART superstore.

The Company does not believe the recent increase in the United States federal 
minimum wage will have a material adverse effect on its store operating 
expenses or results of operations for the next twelve months.  

The Company does not intend to own the land and buildings for its 
superstores. However, to the extent the Company believes that it is 
advantageous to purchase land for new superstores and to construct new 
superstore buildings itself, it will use its existing financing sources or 
cash to finance construction and, after the superstores are open, complete 
sale/leaseback transactions or attempt to secure other permanent financing.

The Company's expansion and store openings are dependent on adequate sources 
of capital for store site acquisition, building construction, fixturing and 
inventory, the training and retention of skilled 

                                       16
<PAGE>

managers and personnel, and other factors, some of which may be beyond the 
Company's control.  As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company 
will be able to achieve its targets for opening new superstores.  To the 
extent the Company is unable to obtain satisfactory financing for new store 
growth, the Company's ability to open new superstores, and profitably operate 
its current superstores, will be negatively impacted.  There can be no 
assurance that the Company will continue to be able to finance its operations 
and planned management information systems upgrade without additional 
financing or other arrangements, or that such financing will be available to 
the Company at an acceptable cost.  However, the Company believes that its 
current cash balances, together with funds available from bank facilities, 
equipment lease arrangements and from operations will be adequate to meet its 
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements, excluding 
extraordinary expenditures related to the management information system 
upgrade, for at least the next twelve months. The Company can manage the cash 
requirements for the planned management information system upgrade based upon 
operational cash needs. Additionally, numerous factors, such as future 
acquisition opportunities or a change in expansion plans, may cause the 
Company to change its current plans and seek additional funds.  The Company 
is continually evaluating financing possibilities, and it may seek to raise 
additional funds through a debt or equity financing if it believes it would 
be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to do so.

The Company has historically had higher short-term cash requirements during 
periods of high store opening activity and during the holiday inventory 
build-up in its third fiscal quarter.

Although the Company cannot accurately anticipate the effect of inflation on 
its operations, it does not believe inflation is likely to have a material 
adverse effect on its net sales or results of operations.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS              

PETsMART is not party to any legal proceedings other than various claims and 
lawsuits arising in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of 
PETsMART's management, are not individually or collectively material to its

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The Registrant's Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Annual Meeting) was held on 
June 20, 1997.  At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the registrant (i)
