                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Board of Directors
Pamida Holdings Corporation
Omaha, Nebraska



   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pamida
Holdings Corporation and subsidiary as of January 31, 1999 and February 1, 1998,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 1999.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Pamida Holdings Corporation and
subsidiary as of January 31, 1999 and February 1, 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
January 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   PAMIDA HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS - EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)



A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Pamida Holdings Corporation (the "Company") was formed for the sole
purpose of acquiring Pamida, Inc. ("Pamida") through a merger in a leveraged
buy-out transaction which was consummated on July 29, 1986.

         CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the
results of operations, account balances and cash flows of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Pamida, and of Seaway Importing Company ("Seaway") and
Pamida Transportation Company, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pamida. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         FISCAL YEAR - All references in these financial statements to fiscal
years are to the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends.

         LINE OF BUSINESS - Through Pamida, the Company is engaged in the
operation of general merchandise retail stores in a fifteen-state Midwestern,
North Central and Rocky Mountain area. Seaway imports primarily seasonal
merchandise for sale to Pamida. Pamida Transportation Company operated as a
contract carrier for Pamida until July 1995, at which time independent
contractors were engaged to provide all transportation needs of the Company.
Because of the similarity in nature of the Company's businesses, the Company
operates as a single business segment.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION - Pamida operates its stores on a self-service,
primarily cash-and-carry basis. Because of the insignificance of sales returns,
revenue is recognized at the point-of-sale without allowance for returns.

         CASH FLOW REPORTING - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
Company considers all temporary cash investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no temporary investments
at January 31, 1999 and February 1, 1998.

         MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES - Substantially all of the Company's inventory
is stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out) or market.

         PROPERTY, BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT - Property, buildings and equipment
are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives. Buildings and building improvements are generally
depreciated over 8-40 years, while store, distribution center and office
equipment, vehicles and aircraft equipment are generally depreciated over 3-10
years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or the
estimated life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

         LEASED PROPERTY UNDER CAPITAL LEASES - Noncancellable financing leases
are capitalized at the estimated fair value of the leasehold interest and are
amortized on the straight-line method over the terms of the leases.

         LONG-LIVED ASSETS - When facts and circumstances indicate potential
impairment, the Company evaluates the recoverability of asset carrying values,
including associated goodwill, using estimates of future cash flows over
remaining asset lives. When impairment is indicated, any impairment loss is
measured by the excess of carrying values over fair values.

         DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS AND ORIGINAL ISSUE DEBT DISCOUNT - Deferred
financing costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the
terms of the issues which approximates the effective interest method. Original
issue debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest method over
the terms of the issues.

         ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and
netted to $11,936, $10,468 and $11,653 for fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

PAMIDA HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS - EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) - (CONTINUED)

         PRE-OPENING EXPENSES - Costs related to opening new stores are expensed
as incurred.

         SOFTWARE COSTS - The Company capitalizes internally developed software
costs, which then are amortized on a straight-line basis over three to five
years.

         STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company accounts for its stock-based
compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) which utilizes the intrinsic
value method.

         EARNINGS PER SHARE - Basic income per common share is based on the
weighted average outstanding common shares during the respective period. Diluted
income per share is based on the weighted average outstanding common shares and
the effect of all dilutive potential common shares, including stock options.

         USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The historical cost of financial
instruments (cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the Company's
committed line of credit) as presented in the financial statements approximates
their fair value in all instances, except for long-term debt, which is disclosed
in Note F.

         RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
years' financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

C.  MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES

         Total inventories would have been higher at January 31, 1999 and
February 1, 1998 by $7,565 and $7,180, respectively, had the FIFO (first-in,
first-out) method been used to determine the cost of all inventories. On a FIFO
basis, net income before extraordinary item would have been $4,931, $3,892 and
$78 respectively, for fiscal years 1999, 1998, and 1997. During fiscal years
1999, 1998, and 1997, certain inventory quantities were reduced resulting in a
liquidation of certain LIFO layers carried at costs which were lower than the
cost of current purchases, the effect of which increased net income by $33,
$263, and $116, respectively.

         The Company contracted for the construction of five and eleven stores
during the periods ended February 1, 1998 and January 31, 1999, respectively.
The construction costs capitalized are recorded as other long-term assets during
the period of construction and for the period following completion of
construction to the date of sale of such stores through lease financing
arrangements. The construction costs for twelve stores remain in Other Assets at
January 31, 1999. The cost of construction has been financed through the
Company's working capital, including the Company's committed line of credit, and
cash flow from operations. In the first half of fiscal 1999, the Company sold
and leased back six store properties with net cash proceeds totaling $8,475.
Proceeds from the sales were used to reduce outstanding indebtedness under the
Company's committed line of credit.

F.  FINANCING AGREEMENTS

         Pamida, Inc.'s (Pamida) committed Loan and Security Agreement (the
Agreement) was amended and restated on July 2, 1998 and extended to July 2001.
The amendment increased the maximum borrowing limit to $125,000 from $95,000 and
reduced interest rate spreads by 75 basis points. The amended $125,000 facility
includes a $25,000 supplemental facility primarily intended for real estate
development activities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PAMIDA HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS - EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) - (CONTINUED)

         Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at a rate which is tied to
the prime rate (as defined) or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR),
generally at Pamida's discretion. Included in the July 2, 1998 amendment to the
Agreement were provisions substantially increasing the maximum permitted
borrowings available to Pamida. The amounts Pamida is permitted to borrow are
determined by a formula based upon the amount of Pamida's eligible inventory
from time to time. Such borrowings are secured by security interests in all of
the current assets (including inventory) of Pamida and by liens on certain real
estate interests and other property of Pamida. The Company and two subsidiaries
of Pamida have guaranteed the payment and performance of Pamida's obligations
under the Agreement and have pledged some or all of their respective assets,
including the stock of Pamida owned by the Company, to secure such guarantees.

         The Agreement contains provisions imposing operating and financial
restrictions on the Company. The Agreement requires the achievement of specified
minimum amounts of cash flow (as defined). Other restrictions in the Agreement
and those provided under the Indenture relating to the Senior Subordinated Notes
will affect, among other things, the ability of Pamida to incur additional
indebtedness, pay dividends, repay indebtedness prior to its stated maturity,
create liens, enter into leases, sell assets or engage in mergers or
acquisitions, make capital expenditures and make investments.

         The maximum amount of borrowings under the Agreement during fiscal 1999
and 1998 was $66,469 and $66,461, respectively. The weighted average amounts of
borrowings under the Agreement for fiscal 1999 and 1998 were $48,414 and 52,869,
respectively; and the weighted average interest rates were 8.9% and 9.8%,
respectively.

</TABLE>

         As of January 31, 1999 and February 1, 1998, the fair value of
long-term debt was $134,992 and $144,489, respectively. The fair value of
long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market values for the notes. The
aggregate maturities of long-term debt in each of the next five fiscal years are
$47, $47, $47, $47 and $140,047.

         The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured and are subordinate
borrowings under the Agreement. Presently, under the most restrictive debt
covenants, the Company is not permitted to pay dividends on its common stock.

H.    LEASES

         The majority of store facilities are leased under noncancellable
leases. Substantially all of the store leases are net leases which require the
payment of property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs in addition to rental
payments. Certain leases provide for additional rentals based on a percentage of
sales and have renewal options for one or more periods totaling from one to
twenty years.

         At January 31, 1999 the future minimum lease payments under all capital
and operating leases with rental terms of more than one year amounted to:

J.  EMPLOYEE SAVINGS AND OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS

         Pamida has adopted a 401(k) savings plan that covers all employees who
are 21 years of age with one or more years of service. Participants can
contribute from 1% to 15% of their pre-tax compensation. Pamida has currently
elected to match 50% of the participant's contribution up to 5% of compensation.
Pamida's savings plan contribution expenses for fiscal years 1999, 1998, and
1997 were $792, $765, and $770, respectively.

         Prior to December 1993, the Company had agreed to continue to provide
health insurance coverage and pay a portion of the health insurance premiums
until age 65 for individuals who retire if the individual was eligible to
participate in the plan, had attained age 55, had completed ten or more
consecutive years of service and elected to continue on the Company plan. The
plan is unfunded, and the Company had the right to modify or terminate these
benefits. In December 1993, the Company amended the Plan to no longer offer
postretirement health benefits for employees retiring after February 1, 1994.
The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of January 31, 1999 and
February 1, 1998 and the components of periodic expense for postretirement
benefits in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 were insignificant.

K.   STOCK OPTIONS

         On November 24, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
Pamida Holdings Corporation 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"), which was
approved by the Company's stockholders in May 1993. On March 5, 1998, the Board
of Directors of the Company adopted the Pamida Holdings Corporation 1998 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan") which was approved by the Company's
stockholders in May 1998. The 1992 Plan and the 1998 Plan are administered by a
Committee of the Board of Directors and provide for the granting of options to
key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase up to an aggregate
of 350,000 and 500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company under the 1992 Plan
and the 1998 Plan, respectively. The 1998 Plan also permits the granting of
other types of awards in the form of Common Stock of the Company; none have been
granted. Options granted under the 1992 Plan and the 1998 Plan may be either
incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code, or non-qualified options.

         Options granted under the 1992 Plan and the 1998 Plan will be
exercisable during the period fixed by the Committee for each option at the time
of its grant; however, in general, no option will be exercisable earlier than
one year after the date of its grant, and no incentive stock option will be
exercisable more than ten years after the date of its grant. The option exercise
price must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of the option grant. No compensation expense related to stock options was
recorded during fiscal 1999, 1998 or 1997.

         A summary of the Company's stock-based compensation activity related to
stock options for the last three fiscal years is as follows:

L. EXCHANGE OF DEBT AND PREFERRED STOCK FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED
   EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

         On November 14, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved various
proposals necessary to effect the payment of all of the Company's outstanding
Senior Promissory Notes, Subordinated Promissory Notes and Junior Subordinated
Promissory Notes (collectively, the "Notes") with common stock and to change and
reclassify all of the Company's outstanding preferred stock into common stock.

         In connection with these transactions, which became effective on
November 18, 1997, the Company issued 965,497 shares of Common Stock and
3,050,473 shares of Nonvoting Common Stock. The Nonvoting Common Stock was
issued only to 399 Venture Partners, Inc. ("Venture"), an affiliate of Citigroup
Inc., and is convertible into Common Stock on a share-for-share basis upon
certain conditions. Common Stock was issued to all other holders of Notes and to
all holders of Preferred Stock.

         The aggregate redemption value of the Preferred Stock at the effective
date of the transactions was $2,968, comprised of $1,000 per share stated
liquidation value plus accrued dividends. The aggregate principal amount and
accrued interest on the Notes at the effective date of the transactions was
$33,175. Based upon a value of $9 per share for purposes of the transactions,
(i) 329,815 shares of Common Stock were issued to the holders of Preferred Stock
resulting in a net gain to the Company of $756, credited directly to accumulated
deficit, (ii) 635,682 shares of Common Stock were issued to Note holders other
than Venture resulting in a net gain to the Company of $1,735, reflected as an
extraordinary item in the consolidated statement of operations, and (iii)
3,050,473 shares of Nonvoting Common Stock were issued to Venture resulting in a
net gain to the Company of $7,571, credited directly to paid-in capital. These
net gains represent the excess of the value of the Common Stock for purposes of
the transactions over the value of the stock as determined by the closing market
price of the Common Stock as of the transaction date, net of applicable
transaction costs, unamortized discounts, and income taxes.


M. CAPITAL STOCK

         As described in Note L, the Company issued an additional 965,497 shares
of Common Stock and 3,050,473 shares of Nonvoting Common Stock during fiscal
1998. During fiscal 1999, 55,156 shares of Common Stock were issued upon the
exercise of stock options. The Company had 6,025,595 shares of Common Stock and
3,050,473 shares of Nonvoting Common Stock outstanding at January 31, 1999. The
Nonvoting Common Stock is held entirely by 399 Venture Partners, Inc. which is
also the Company's largest holder of Common Stock. The Nonvoting Common Stock is
convertible into Common Stock on a share-for-share basis upon certain
conditions. The Company had 5,970,439 shares of Common Stock and 3,050,473
shares of Nonvoting Common Stock outstanding at February 1, 1998.

N. PREFERRED STOCK SUBJECT TO MANDATORY REDEMPTION

         Note L describes the change and reclassification of all preferred stock
into common stock of the Company, effective November 18, 1997. Prior to the
reclassification, the Company was obligated to redeem all outstanding shares of
senior cumulative and junior cumulative preferred stock on December 31, 2001, at
a price not to exceed the liquidation value which was $1,000 per share plus any
accrued dividends. Subject to certain loan restrictions, the Company could, at
any time, have redeemed all or any portion of the preferred stock outstanding at
a price of $1,000 per share plus any accrued dividends.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PAMIDA HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS - EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) - (CONTINUED)

         Each share of senior cumulative and junior cumulative preferred stock
entitled its holder to receive a quarterly dividend of 16.25% and 14.25% per
annum, respectively, of the liquidation value from the date of issuance until
redeemed. Both series of preferred stock were nonvoting, and any unpaid
dividends were added to the liquidation value until paid.

         Because of the accumulated deficit which resulted primarily from the
store closings and the write-off of goodwill and other long-lived assets
recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, applicable corporate law did
not permit the Company or Pamida to declare or pay any cash dividends on any
stock in fiscal 1998 or 1997. A provision for preferred stock dividends was
recorded in the fiscal 1998 and 1997 financial statements. As a result of the
reclassification of the preferred stock into common stock, the Company's
obligation for further preferred stock dividend payments or accruals has been
eliminated.

         The difference between the fair value of the junior cumulative
preferred stock at issuance and the mandatory redemption value was recorded
through periodic accretions, using the effective interest method with a related
charge to retained earnings.

O. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         Pamida has employment agreements with three key executive officers
which expire in 2000 and 2001. In addition to a base salary, the agreements
provide for a bonus to be paid if certain Company performance goals are
achieved. Also, in March 1997, the Board of Directors approved a long-term
incentive compensation program in order to enhance retention of certain key
members of management. Payout under such program is tied to continued employment
and future Company common stock price appreciation.

         On January 31, 1999, the Company had standby letters of credit
outstanding totaling $4,879 related to the Company's self-insured retention of
workers' compensation and general liabilities as well as future rental payments
on a distribution center. Additional letters of credit outstanding totaling
$4,057 were committed for purchases of merchandise inventory.

P. STORE CLOSING RESERVES

         During fiscal 1996, the Company recognized a $21,397 charge reflecting
management's best estimate of total costs to close forty unprofitable or
competitive market stores which did not fit the Company's niche market strategy.
Remaining expected future charges are recorded in the store closing reserve. The
amounts the Company will ultimately realize from the disposal of assets or pay
on the resolution of liabilities may differ from the estimated amounts
established in the 1996 store closing reserve.

         The 1996 store closing reserve balance as of January 28, 1996 included
amounts related to real estate, inventory, severance, professional fees and
other costs of closing the forty stores. The liquidation of the closed stores'
inventory was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. As of January 31,
1999, all known ancillary costs of the store closings have been paid except
those related to the remaining real estate. During fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999
the Company negotiated settlements on twenty-seven closed store properties which
had been leased, three of which have been subleased, and sold eight closed store
properties which had been owned. As of January 31, 1999, the Company remains
liable for lease obligations on five closed store properties. The Company
anticipates that final disposition of the remaining obligations will be
accomplished in fiscal 2000 and 2001.

                   PAMIDA HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 2, 1999 AND MAY 3, 1998
                                   (Unaudited)
                             (Dollars in Thousands)

1.       Management Representation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all
         adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
         operations for the interim periods have been included. All such
         adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Because of the seasonal
         nature of the business, results for interim periods are not necessarily
         indicative of a full year's operations. The accounting policies
         followed by Pamida Holdings Corporation (the "Company") and additional
         footnotes are reflected in the consolidated financial statements
         contained in the Form 10-K Annual Report of the Company for the fiscal
         year ended January 31, 1999.

2.       Inventories

         Substantially all inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in,
         first-out) or market. Total inventories would have been higher at May
         2, 1999 and May 3, 1998 by $7,665 and $7,430 respectively, had the FIFO
         (first-in, first-out) method been used to determine the cost of all
         inventories. Quarterly LIFO inventory determinations reflect
         assumptions regarding fiscal year-end inventory levels and the
         estimated impact of annual inflation. Actual inventory levels and
         annual inflation could vary from estimates made on a quarterly basis.

3.       Earnings Per Common Share

         Basic income per common share are based on the weighted average
         outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income per share
         are based on the weighted average outstanding common shares and the
         effect of all dilutive potential common shares, including stock
         options.

4.       New Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133,
         "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
         established accounting and reporting standards for derivative
         instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
         recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
         statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair
         value. This statement is effective for the Company in the first quarter
         of fiscal year 2002. The Company has not yet determined the effect of
         this statement.

5.       Pending Merger with ShopKo

         On May 10, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
         Merger (the "Agreement") with ShopKo Stores, Inc. ("ShopKo") and a
         wholly owned subsidiary of ShopKo (the "Merger Sub") pursuant to which
         the Merger Sub on May 17, 1999, began a tender offer for all of the
         outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $11.50
         in cash net to the seller (the "Offer"). Following the completion of
         the Offer, the Merger Sub will be merged into the Company, all
         remaining outstanding shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock
         of the Company (other than shares owned by the Company, ShopKo, the
         Merger Sub, and any of their direct or indirect wholly owned
         subsidiaries, which will be canceled) will be converted into the right
         to receive $11.50 per share, and the Company will become a wholly owned
         subsidiary of ShopKo.

         (b)      Pro Forma Financial Information

         The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are
         filed herewith:

         Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 1, 1999.

         Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the thirteen weeks

         Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Fiscal Year
         ended January 31, 1999.

         Notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements give
effect to the acquisition of Pamida Holdings Corporation ("Pamida") by ShopKo
Stores, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ShopKo Merger
Corp. ("Merger Corp."). The acquisition of Pamida by the Company (the "Pamida
Acquisition") was consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of May 10, 1999, by and among the Company, Merger Corp. and Pamida (the
"Merger Agreement").

In consummation of the acquisition, a total of $104.4 million was disbursed as
follows:

         (i)   $67.9 million was disbursed on July 6, 1999 to tendering holders
               of the voting common stock;

         (ii)  $35.1 was disbursed on July 6, 1999 to 399 Venture Partners; and

         (iii) $1.4 was disbursed to non-tendering holders of the voting common
               stock.

The Company utilized cash from its operations to fund the Pamida Acquisition.

The Pamida Acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and as such, the final calculated purchase price will be allocated
to the fair value of tangible assets and the excess of cost over net assets
acquired.

The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 1, 1999 assumes the
acquisition took place on that date and is based on the respective unaudited
historical consolidated balance sheets, reported on both the Company's and
Pamida's Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The pro
forma adjustments record the proforma purchase price of $104.4 million, which
includes professional fees and other costs, and allocate the pro forma purchase
price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their
preliminary estimated fair market values on the date of acquisition.

The pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended
May 1, 1999 and for the fiscal year ended January 30, 1999 ("Fiscal 1998")
assume that the transaction was consummated at the beginning of Fiscal 1998, and
are based on the respective historical consolidated statements of operations,
reported on both the Company's and Pamida's Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.

The unaudited pro forma financial information and related notes are provided for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the
Company's actual financial position or results of operations would have been had
the foregoing transaction been consummated on such dates, nor does it give
effect to the synergies, cost savings and other charges expected to result from
the Pamida Acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information does
not purport to be indicative of the Company's financial position or results of
operations as of the date hereof or for any period ended on the date hereof or
as of or for any other future dates or periods.

Notes to accompany the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.


Note 1 - Pro forma adjustments as of May 1, 1999

The pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance
sheet reflect the purchase of Pamida and the allocation of the pro forma
purchase price to the acquired assets and the assumed liabilities based on the
preliminary estimate of their fair market value at the date of acquisition. The
pro forma adjustments include the impact of conforming Pamida accounting
policies to those of the Company.

a)   Cash and cash equivalents - The adjustment is the pro forma decrease in
     cash used to fund a portion of the $104.4 million distributed in
     consummation of the acquisition.

b)   Merchandise inventories - The adjustment reflects the net value expected to
     be realized upon liquidation of the inventory in the acquired Pamida
     stores.

c)   Other assets and deferred charges - The adjustment reflects the elimination
     of historical deferred financing fees, the recording of preliminary
     favorable leasehold and noncompete contract valuations. In addition,
     certain Pamida historical assets were reclassed to property and equipment
     to be consistent with the Company's historical financial statement
     presentation.

d)   Intangible assets, net - The adjustment reflects the goodwill and
     identified intangible assets recorded in connection with the Pamida
     Acquisition.

e)   Fixed assets, net - The net adjustment includes a revaluation of all
     categories of property and equipment to fair market value.

f)   Short-term debt - The adjustment reflects the fee for early
     termination of the Pamida facility and the pro forma increase for
     borrowings necessary to fund a portion of the $104.4 million distributed in
     consummation of the acquisition.

g)   Accrued compensation and related taxes - The adjustment reflects employee
     separation and severance agreement costs due to the merger.

h)   Accrued other liabilities - The adjustment reflects the anticipated costs
     associated with the closing of certain Pamida stores, in addition to
     accrued expenses related to the transaction.

i)   Accrued income and other taxes - The adjustment reflects the tax impact of
     deductible accrued expenses and identifiable intangible assets.

j)   Current portion of long-term obligations - The adjustment reflects the
     reclassification of the outstanding Pamida Senior Subordinated Notes to
     current liabilities as it is the Company's intention to repay the notes
     within the succeeding twelve months. The balance was increased for the call
     premium required in the Note agreement.

k)   Long-term obligations - The adjustment reflects the reclass of certain
     Pamida historical long-term obligations to deferred income taxes to be
     consistent with the Company's historical financial statement presentation.

l)   Shareholders' equity - The adjustments reflect the elimination of the
     historical shareholders' equity of Pamida.

(a)    Historical Depreciation and Amortization Expense is reclassed from
       selling, general and administrative expenses.

(b)    Depreciation and Amortization Expense was adjusted to reflect the fair
       market revaluation of Pamida property and equipment.
