              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Accounting Policies:

The Company's fiscal 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a summary of
significant accounting policies which includes the consolidated financial
statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The same
accounting policies are followed in the preparation of interim reports.

Inventories:

The Company uses the LIFO method for substantially all inventories. If the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method had been used, these inventories would have
been $30.4 million, $35.6 million, and $28.9 million higher at April 29, 2000,
May 1, 1999 and January 29, 2000, respectively.

Extraordinary Item:

During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company retired debt with a face
value of $57.1 million prior to maturity. The debt repurchases resulted in an
extraordinary after tax charge of $3.8 million.

Acquisitions:

On July 6, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding voting and
nonvoting common stock of Pamida Holdings Corporation ("Pamida"). The results of
operations of Pamida since the acquisition are included in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

In May 2000, the Company announced a definitive agreement for Merck & Co., to
acquire ShopKo's ProVantage Health Services, Inc. (ProVantage) subsidiary. The
ProVantage subsidiary includes health benefit management services, pharmacy mail
services, vision benefit management services and health information technology
and clinical support services. The Company currently owns 64.5 percent of
ProVantage. The pending transaction is expected to result in proceeds of
approximately $143.4 million. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of
the Company's second fiscal quarter.

The results of operations of ProVantage have been presented as discontinued
operations. Accordingly, previously reported statement of earnings information
has been restated to reflect this presentation. Net sales of ProVantage for the
13 weeks ended April 29, 2000 and May 1, 1999 were $275.7 million and $214.9
million, respectively.

Assets and liabilities related to ProVantage are presented in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 29, 2000 as net assets of discontinued
operations.

Business Segment Information:

The Company's reportable segments are based on the Company's strategic business
operating units, and include a ShopKo Retail segment (which includes ShopKo
stores general merchandise, retail pharmacy and retail optical operations) and a
Pamida Retail segment (which includes Pamida stores general merchandise and
retail pharmacy operations).

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies in the Company's fiscal 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The Company evaluates performance based on operating
earnings of the respective business segments.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments is

The Company's areas of operations are principally in the United States. No major
customer accounted for a significant amount of consolidated revenue during the
first quarters of fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999.

Statement of Registrant:

The data presented herein is unaudited, but in the opinion of management,

of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. These interim
results are not necessarily indicative of the results of the fiscal years as a
whole because the operations of the Company are highly seasonal. The fourth
fiscal quarter has historically contributed a significant part of the Company's
earnings due to the Christmas selling season.

</TABLE>


The 2.6% increase in first quarter retail comparable store sales are derived
from the following categories: Retail Health increased 11.2%, Hardlines/Home
increased 0.5% and Apparel decreased 0.5%. The store sales changes exclude
layaway sales in both years. Changes in retail comparable store sales are based
upon those stores which were open for the entire preceding fiscal year.

During the first quarter, the Company opened three new ShopKo stores and three
new Pamida stores and closed one Pamida store. The ShopKo store in Plover,
Wisconsin is a relocation from Stevens Point, Wisconsin. All three of the new
ShopKo stores include in-store pharmacies and optical centers.

In July 1999, the Company acquired the retail chain Pamida, Inc. ("Pamida"),
which operated 152 Pamida stores in 15 Midwest, North Central and Rocky Mountain
states. Since the acquisition, 16 additional Pamida stores were opened and 3
Pamida stores were closed, increasing the number of Pamida stores in operation
from 152 to 165 stores as of May 2000. Pamida stores' sales are included in net
sales since their acquisition but they are not included in retail comparable
store sales since they were not owned by ShopKo for the entire preceding fiscal
year.

</TABLE>

Consolidated gross margin, as restated, as a percent of sales for the first
quarter was 25.6 percent compared to 25.2 percent last year. Consolidated gross
margin dollars increased 38.5 percent to $191.8 million for the same period.
ShopKo retail gross margin as a percent of sales was 25.9 percent compared with
25.2 percent last year, a 70 basis point improvement. The increase is primarily
attributable to higher gross margin rates in our general merchandise. ShopKo
retail gross margin dollars increased 8.9 percent to $150.8 million for the same
period. Pamida's retail gross margin as a percent of sales was 24.6 percent for
the quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, as restated, as a
percent of sales for the first quarter were 20.7 percent compared with 20.5
percent last year. ShopKo's retail selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percent of sales for the quarter were 19.5 percent compared to 19.6 percent
last year. Pamida's selling, general and administrative expenses were 21.8
percent of sales for the quarter.

Special Charges:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company incurred $1.2 million in
special pre-tax costs relating to the Pamida acquisition for employee retention
programs, elimination of administrative functions and various integration
initiatives. During the remainder of fiscal 2000, the Company expects to incur
additional special charges of approximately $3.0 to $5.0 million for the same
integration initiatives mentioned above.

Interest Expense - Net:

Interest expense, as restated, for the first quarter increased 47.8 percent to
$14.6 million. This increase is primarily due to additional debt as a result of
last year's Pamida acquisition.

<PAGE>   13



Income Taxes:

The effective tax rates for the first quarter were 68.5 percent compared with
34.7 percent last year. This increase is mainly due to $1.1 million of
nondeductible goodwill amortization associated with the Pamida acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Company relies primarily on cash generated from its operations, with its
remaining funding requirements being met from short-term and long-term
borrowings. Cash provided from net earnings before depreciation and amortization
was $23.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $18.2 million
for the same period last year. The Company had $345.5 million outstanding under
its credit agreements at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to
$159.0 million outstanding at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This
increase is primarily due to additional debt as a result of last year's Pamida
acquisition. The Company has a $200.0 million revolving credit agreement with a
consortium of banks of which $200.0 million was outstanding as of April 29,
2000. This credit facility is unsecured and is effective through January 31,
2002. The Company also has a $100.0 million 364-day credit facility of which
$85.5 million was outstanding as of April 29, 2000. The 364-day credit facility
is unsecured and is effective through August 31, 2000. The Company also has
various other unsecured credit facilities, including a $75.0 million seasonal
facility which will expire August 31, 2000 and a banker's acceptance note which
allows borrowing from $25.0 to $100.0 million based on the seasonal needs of the
Company. The banker's acceptance note expires April 30, 2001. As of the end of
the first quarter, $60.0 million was outstanding under these two credit
facilities. Funds generated from operations and borrowings under these credit
facilities are expected to fund the projected working capital needs and total
capital expenditures through fiscal 2000.

The Company's principal use of cash is for the purchase of property, equipment
and systems technology. The Company spent $42.4 million on capital expenditures
in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to $26.2 million on capital
expenditures for the same period last year. The Company's total capital
expenditures for the fiscal year ending February 3, 2001 are anticipated to
approximate $200.0 to $230.0 million, which excludes ProVantage's capital
expenditures. The expenditures would relate to construction of the new ShopKo
and Pamida stores; expansion and building of ShopKo distribution centers;
supporting the existing retail business for merchandise initiatives and ongoing
store equipment and fixturing replacements; and continuing investments in
systems technology. These amounts exclude any capital that may be required for
acquisitions of businesses. Such plans may be reviewed and revised from time to
time in light of changing conditions.

The Company plans to open 10 to 13 new Pamida stores during the second fiscal
quarter. The Company also plans to open 2 new ShopKo stores in the fall. In
total, the Company expects to open 5 ShopKo Stores and 20 to 25 Pamida
stores in fiscal 2000.

The Company expects to pursue growth of its retail store business through new
store construction or acquisition of existing retail stores or businesses. Such
plans may be reviewed and revised from time to time in light of changing
conditions. Depending upon the size and structure of any such acquisitions, the
Company may require additional capital resources. The Company believes that
adequate sources of capital will be available.

In May 2000, the Company announced a definitive agreement for Merck & Co., to
acquire ProVantage. The Company currently owns 64.5 percent of ProVantage. The
pending transaction is expected to result in proceeds of approximately $143.4
million which may potentially be used by the Company to acquire or construct new
stores or acquire other retail businesses, repurchase stock, reduce debt or for
other corporate purposes. The acquisition is expected to close by the end of the
Company's second fiscal quarter.

On May 31, 2000, the Company and a majority of the shareholders of P.M. Place
Stores Company ("Place") signed a letter of intent for ShopKo to acquire Place
in a transaction that values Place at approximately $22.0 million, including the
assumption of approximately $19.0 million in debt. Place, which is an employee
owned company, is headquartered in Bethany, Missouri and operates 49 discount
stores in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Illinois.

The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase, and is expected to close by
early July 2000, contingent upon regulatory approval and certain other
conditions. The Company will finance the transaction with cash on hand. Assuming
the transaction closes as anticipated, Place's store inventories will be
liquidated and the stores will be closed for a brief remodeling period. The
stores are expected to reopen in late September 2000 under the Pamida name. The
transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's current
fiscal year results, and is expected to be accretive to earnings in fiscal year
2001.

Stock Repurchase Program:

On January 12, 2000, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had
authorized the repurchase of another $20.0 million of the Company's Common
Stock. As of April 29, 2000, no shares of Common Stock had been repurchased
under this program.

Senior Notes Buyback Program:

On February 8, 1999, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized the Company to repurchase its Senior Notes from time to time in the
open market and through privately negotiated transactions. Any purchases would
depend on price, market conditions and other factors. During the first quarter
of fiscal 1999, the Company repurchased approximately $57.1 million of the
Senior Notes, resulting in an extraordinary loss of $3.8 million, net of income
tax benefit of $2.4 million.
