PETCO ANIMAL SUPPLIES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - General

In the opinion of management of Petco Animal Supplies, Inc. (the "Company" or 
"PETCO"), the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all 
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
 present the 
financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of May 3, 1997 and 
for the periods ended May 4, 1996 and May 3, 1997.  Because of the seasonal 
nature of the Company's business, the results of operations for the thirteen 
weeks ended May 4, 1996 and May 3, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the full year.  The Company's fiscal year ends 
on the 
Saturday closest to January 31, resulting in years of either 52 or 53 weeks.
 All 
references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending on the Saturday 
closest to January 31 of the following year. For example, references to fiscal 
1996 refer to the fiscal year beginning on February 4, 1996 and ending on 
February 1, 1997.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial 
statements and footnotes thereto for fiscal 1996 included in the Company's Form 
10-K Annual Report (File No. 0-23574) filed with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission on April 30, 1997. 

Note 2 - Acquisitions

In March 1996, the Company assumed lease obligations and purchased all tangible 
personal property and inventory used in connection with eight pet food and 
supply 
stores located in Maryland and Virginia and operated under the trade name P.T. 
Moran ("P.T. Moran").  The transaction was accounted for as a purchase with the 
fair market value of assets acquired of $7.6 million and the excess of the cost 
over the fair market value of net assets recorded as goodwill and amortized 
over 
fifteen years.  The consolidated financial statements include the operating 
results from the closing date.

The Company also acquired eight Pet Nosh stores in July 1996, four PETS USA 
stores in October 1996 and thirty-two Pet Food Warehouse stores in December 
1996, 
(collectively, the "Pooled Companies") all of which were accounted for as 
poolings of interests and, therefore, all prior period financial statements
 have 
been restated.  A reconciliation reflecting the combination of the previously 
reported results of the Company with the results of the Pooled Companies 
follows 
(in thousands):

Distributions to shareholders reflected in the accompanying Consolidated 
Statements of Cash Flows are related to activities of the Pooled Companies.




Note 3 - Net Earnings Per Share

Net earnings per common and common equivalent share are computed by dividing
 net 
earnings by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares 
outstanding during the period.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 1996 and May 3, 1997, common equivalent 
shares were not included as their effects would not be materially dilutive.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results 
of Operations

General

The Company currently utilizes both superstore and traditional store formats
 and 
follows a strategy of converting and expanding its store base from a 
traditional 
store format to a superstore format.  As a result of this strategy, the Company 
has opened and acquired superstores, has expanded, remodeled, and relocated 
traditional stores into superstores, collectively referred to as conversions,
 and 
has closed underperforming stores.  At May 3, 1997, the Company operated 341 
stores, including 285 superstores, in 22 states and the District of Columbia.
  At 
May 4, 1996, the Company operated 299 stores, of which 227 were superstores.

As a result of the Company's plan to open approximately 40 to 50 superstores 
this 
year, including conversions of existing traditional stores into superstore 
formats and excluding acquisitions, the Company anticipates certain costs to 
increase as a percentage of sales 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.  The Company expects continued downward 
pressure on its gross profit as a percentage of sales from higher occupancy 
costs 
in new stores and increased competitive pressures in certain markets.  This 
trend 
should be offset, however, by increased sales from maturing stores and the 
benefit of expanded merchandise assortments in existing stores.  Increased 
payroll, advertising and other store level expenses as a percentage of sales in 
new stores should also contribute to lower store operating margins.  In 
addition, 
the Company charges preopening costs associated with each new superstore to 
earnings as incurred.  Therefore, the Company expects that the opening of a
 large 
number of new superstores in a given quarter may adversely impact its quarterly 
results of operations for that quarter.

In March 1996, the Company assumed lease obligations and purchased all tangible 
personal property and inventory used in connection with eight pet food and 
supply 
stores operated under the trade name P.T. Moran. The Company also acquired 
eight 
Pet Nosh stores in July 1996, four PETS USA stores in October 1996 and 
thirty-two 
Pet Food Warehouse stores in December 1996, all of which were accounted for as 
poolings of interests and, therefore, all prior period financial statements
 have 
been restated. Although the Company does not expect the results of these stores 
to be dilutive on fiscal 1997 operating results, there can be no assurances
 these 
stores can achieve their anticipated profitability.

The Company's business is also subject to some seasonal fluctuations.  
Historically, the Company has realized a higher portion of its net sales during 
the fourth quarter and a lower portion of its net sales in the third quarter.




Results of Operations

First Quarter 1997 Compared to First Quarter 1996

Net sales increased 29.1% to $143.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 
1997, ("first quarter 1997") from $111.1 million for the thirteen weeks 
ended May 
4, 1996, ("first quarter 1996").  The increase in net sales in first quarter
 1997 
resulted primarily from the addition of 66 superstores, including the
 conversion 
of 19 traditional stores into superstores, partially offset by the closing of
 24 
stores in the past year, and a comparable store net sales increase of 14.0%.
  The 
comparable store net sales increase was attributable to maturing superstores, 
increased advertising and expanded merchandise assortments in existing stores.  
The net increase in the Company's store base accounted for approximately $20.4 
million, or 63.2% of the net sales increase, and $11.9 million, or 36.8% of the 
net sales increase, was attributable to the increase in comparable store net 
sales.

Gross profit, defined as net sales less cost of sales including occupancy 
costs, 
increased to $35.8 million in first quarter 1997 from $27.2 million in first 
quarter 1996. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 25.0% in 
first 
quarter 1997 from 24.5% in first quarter 1996. This increase reflects a better 
sales mix, increased occupancy leverage and lowered distribution expenses 
related 
to the more efficient operation of the Company's central distribution facility 
during the current period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.5 million to $31.9 
million in first quarter 1997 from $24.4 million in the same period last year. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of 
higher personnel and related costs associated with new store openings and 
acquisitions.  As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased to 22.2%
 in 
first quarter 1997 from 22.0% in first quarter 1996 primarily due to increased 
operating costs of larger and more immature superstores in the store base.

Operating income in first quarter 1997 increased 48.1% to $4.0 million compared 
to $2.7 million in first quarter 1996 and increased as a percentage of net 
sales 
to 2.8% in first quarter 1997 from 2.4% in first quarter 1996.

Income taxes were $1.6 million in first quarter 1997, compared to $0.9 million
 in 
first quarter 1996.

Net earnings increased 53.3% to $2.3 million, or $0.13 per share, for the first 
quarter 1997 from $1.5 million, or $0.10 per share, for the same period last 
year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its operations and expansion program through internal 
cash flow, external borrowings and the sale of equity securities.  At May 3, 
1997, total assets were $272.1 million, of which $105.7 million were current 
assets.  Net cash used in operating activities was $11.8 million for the first 
quarter 1997 and $8.3 million for the same period of the prior year.  The 
Company's sales are substantially on a cash basis, therefore cash flow 
generated 
from operating stores provides a significant source of liquidity to the 
Company.  
The principal use of operating cash is for the purchase of merchandise 
inventories.  A portion of the Company's inventory purchases is financed 
through 
vendor credit terms.

The Company uses cash in investing activities to acquire stores, purchase fixed 
assets for new and converted stores and, to a lesser extent, to purchase 
warehouse and office fixtures, equipment and computer hardware and software in 
support of its distribution and administrative functions. During the first 
quarter 1996 the Company acquired one retailer of pet food and supplies with
 net 
cash of $7.8 million invested in the acquisition of this business.  Cash used
 in 
investing activities was $11.6 million for the first quarter 1997 and $14.3 
million for the same period of the prior year.

The Company also finances some of its purchases of equipment and fixtures
 through 
capital leases and other obligations.  Purchases of $1.8 million of fixed 
assets 
were financed in this manner during the first quarter 1996. The Company 
believes 
that additional sources of capital lease and other financing are available on a 
cost-effective basis and plans to use them, as necessary, in connection with
 its 
expansion program.

The Company's primary long-term capital requirement is funding for the 
opening or 
acquisition of superstores and the conversion of traditional stores into 
superstores.  During the first quarter 1996, net proceeds of $70.0 million were 
obtained from a public offering of common stock to provide funds for the 
Company's expansion program, the acquisition of related businesses and for 
working capital requirements.  

The Company has a Revolving Credit Facility with a commitment of up to $40.0 
million which expires December 6, 1998.  Borrowings under this facility are 
unsecured and bear interest, at the Company's option, at either the bank's 
reference rate or LIBOR plus 0.375% based on the Company's leverage ratio at
 May 
3, 1997. At May 3, 1997 the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this 
facility.  The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and 
negative covenants related to debt, interest and fixed charges coverage and 
consolidated net worth.

As of February 1, 1997, the Company had available net operating loss 
carryforwards of $14.9 million for federal income tax purposes, which begin 
expiring in 2004, and $8.9 million for state income tax purposes, which begin 
expiring in 1997.

The Company anticipates that funds generated by operations, funds available
 under 
the Revolving Credit Facility, currently available vendor financing and capital 
lease and other obligation financing will be sufficient to finance its 
continued 
operations and planned store openings for at least the next twelve months.
