PETCO ANIMAL SUPPLIES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - General

In the opinion of management of Petco Animal Supplies, Inc. (the "Company"), 
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 and for the periods ended October
 28, 
1995, and November 2, 1996.  Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's 
business, the results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks 
ended 
October 28, 1995 and November 2, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to 
the 
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the fiscal year 
ended 
February 3, 1996 included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report (File No. 0-
23574) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on 
April 27, 1996 and subsequently restated to reflect the merger with Pet Nosh 
which was accounted for as a pooling of interests, in the Company's 
Registration 
Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-14699) filed with the Commission on 
October 23, 1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on 
November 20, 1996.

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.

In July 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities
 of a 
retailer with eight pet food and supply stores located in New York, New Jersey 
and Connecticut and operated under the trade name Pet Nosh ("Pet Nosh") for an 
aggregate consideration of 645,553 shares of common stock.  The transaction was 
accounted for as a pooling of interests.

In October 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities
 of 
a retailer with four pet food and supply stores located in Colorado operated 
under the trade name PETS USA ("PETS USA") for an aggregate consideration of 
231,153 shares of common stock.  The transaction was accounted for as a pooling 
of interests.



All prior period financial statements presented have been restated to reflect 
the 
acquisitions accounted for as a pooling of interests.  A reconciliation of the 
results of the previously separate companies prior to the business combinations 
accounted for as pooling of interests and amounts previously reported follows
 (in

The restated financial statements combine historical financial statements of 
the 
Company for the fiscal year ended February 3, 1996, with the historical 
financial 
statements of Pet Nosh and PETS USA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
1995.  
Accordingly, the second quarter ended August 3, 1996 consisted of thirteen 
weeks 
of operating results of the Company and four months of operating results of Pet 
Nosh, and, the third quarter ended November 2, 1996 consisted of thirteen weeks 
of operating results of the Company and four months of operating results of 
PETS 
USA.  The effects of the changes in reporting periods for the acquired 
companies 
accounted for as poolings of interest are included in the preceding table 
and are 
not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Distributions to shareholders reflected in the accompanying Consolidated 
Statement of Stockholders' Equity are related to activities of acquired 
businesses.

As a result of the acquisition of P.T. Moran, Pet Nosh and leases for four 
former 
Herman's Sporting Goods locations, the Company recorded merger and nonrecurring 
charges of $14.9 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 1996 and,
 as a 
result of the acquisition of PETS USA, merger and nonrecurring charges of $2.9 
million were recorded during the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996.  These 
charges include transaction costs, costs attributable to lease cancellation and 
closure of duplicate or inadequate facilities, facility conversion costs, 
cancellation of certain contractual obligations and other integration costs.



The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") 
dated October 3, 1996 with Pet Food Warehouse, Inc. ("Pet Food Warehouse"). 
 The 
Boards of Directors of the Company and Pet Food Warehouse have approved the 
Merger Agreement.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding 
share of Pet Food Warehouse common stock will be converted into the right to 
receive a fraction of a share of the Company's common stock according to an 
exchange ratio defined in the Merger Agreement.  The transaction is intended to 
qualify as a tax free reorganization and pooling of interests for accounting 
purposes.  The transaction is subject to approval by the Pet Food Warehouse 
shareholders and is anticipated to close on or about December 31, 1996.

Note 3 - Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

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

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 and November 2, 
1996, 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 November 2, 1996, the Company operated
 287 
stores, including 222 superstores, in sixteen states and the District of 
Columbia.  At October 28, 1995, the Company operated 239 stores, of which 156 
were superstores.

As a result of the Company's plan to open approximately 90 to 100 superstores 
this year, including acquisitions and conversions of existing traditional 
stores 
into superstore formats, 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.



The Company acquired eight P.T. Moran stores in March 1996, eight Pet Nosh 
stores 
in July 1996, and four PETS USA stores in October 1996.  The Company is in the 
process of integrating the merchandise mix, and operating and marketing 
philosophies into the Company format of superstores.  Although the Company does 
not expect the results of the P.T. Moran, Pet Nosh, and PETS USA stores to be 
dilutive on its fiscal 1996 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

Third Quarter 1996 Compared to Third Quarter 1995

Net sales increased 51.8% to $107.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended 
November 
2, 1996, ("third quarter 1996") from $71.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended 
October 28, 1995, ("third quarter 1995").  The increase in net sales in third 
quarter 1996 resulted primarily from the addition of 72 superstores, including 
the conversion of 20 traditional stores into superstores,  and partially offset 
by the closing of nine stores in the past year, and a comparable store net 
sales 
increase of 17.0%.  The comparable store net sales increase was attributable to 
maturing superstores, more effective marketing efforts and expanded merchandise 
assortments in existing stores.  The net increase in the Company's store base 
accounted for approximately $26.2 million, or 71.2% of the net sales increase, 
and $10.6 million, or 28.8% 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,  
more than doubled to $28.6 million in third quarter 1996 from $13.1 million in 
third quarter 1995.  Cost of sales and occupancy costs in the third quarter 
1995 
included charges of $4.3 million arising from the writedown of fixed assets and 
related costs with respect to the Company's central distribution facility.  
Excluding these charges, gross profit increased $11.2 million, or 64.4%, in 
third 
quarter 1996.  As a percentage of sales, gross profit, on a comparable basis, 
increased to 26.5% in third quarter 1996 from 24.5% in third quarter 1995. This 
increase reflects a better sales mix, increased occupancy leverage and lower 
distribution expenses related to more efficient operation of the Company's 
central distribution facility during the current period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million to $23.4 
million in third quarter 1996 from $24.2 million in the same period last year.  
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter 1995 included 
charges of $9.2 million related to acquisition activities.  Excluding these 
charges, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $8.4 million,
 or 
56.0%, in third quarter 1996.  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, on a 
comparable basis, these expenses increased to 21.7% in third quarter 1996 from 
21.1% in third quarter 1995 primarily due to increased amortization expense
 from 
goodwill.

Merger and nonrecurring charges of $2.9 million were recorded in third quarter 
1996 following the acquisition of PETS USA.

Operating income in third quarter 1996 was $2.3 million compared to an
 operating 
loss of $11.2 million in third quarter 1995 which included $13.5 million in 
charges related to acquisition and warehousing activities. Operating income, 
excluding these charges and merger and nonrecurring charges, on a comparable 
basis, more than doubled to $5.2 million in third quarter 1996 from  $2.3 
million 
in third quarter 1995 and increased as a percentage of net sales to 4.8% in 
third 
quarter 1996 from 3.2% in third quarter 1995.

Net interest income was $0.3 million in third quarter 1996 and $0.2 million in 
third quarter 1995.

Income taxes were $1.2 million in third quarter 1996, compared to income tax 
benefits of $13.3 million in third quarter 1995.  Income tax benefits in the 
prior year primarily related to recognition of deferred tax assets and the 
benefit of the loss before income taxes for the third quarter 1995.

Net earnings were $1.3 million for the third quarter 1996 compared with $2.4 
million for the same period last year.  Net earnings, excluding merger and 
nonrecurring adjustments and related tax benefits, on a comparable basis, more 
than doubled to $3.3 million, or $0.20 per share, for the third quarter 1996 
compared to $1.6 million, or $0.12 per share, for the third quarter 1995.

Thirty-nine Weeks Ended November 2, 1996 Compared to Thirty-nine Weeks Ended 
October 28, 1995

Net sales increased 57.4% to $307.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended 
November 2, 1996 from $195.5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 
28, 
1995.  The increase in net sales resulted primarily from the addition of 72 
superstores, including the conversion of 20 traditional stores into 
superstores, 
and partially offset by the closing of nine stores in the past year, and a 
comparable store net sales increase of 17.8%.  The comparable store net sales 
increase was attributable to maturing superstores, more effective marketing 
efforts and expanded merchandise assortments in existing stores.  The net 
increase in the Company's store base accounted for approximately $81.7 million, 
or 72.8% of the net sales increase, and $30.5 million, or 27.2% of the net 
sales 
increase, was attributable to the increase in comparable store net sales.

Gross profit increased $35.8 million, or 83.1%, to $78.9 million for the thirty-
nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 from $43.1 million for the same period last 
year.  Excluding charges of $4.3 million arising from the writedown of fixed 
assets and related costs with respect to the Company's central distribution 
facility in the third quarter 1995, gross profit, on a comparable basis, 
increased $31.5 million, or 66.5%, for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 
1996 from the same period in 1995.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit, 
on a comparable basis, increased to 25.6% for the thirty-nine weeks ended 
November 2, 1996 from 24.2% for the same period last year.  This increase 
reflects a better sales mix, increased occupancy leverage and lower
 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 $16.5 million, or 32.9%, 
to $66.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 compared to 
$50.1 million for the same period last year.  Selling, general and 
administrative 
expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 included charges of 
$9.2 million related to acquisition activities.  Excluding these charges, 
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $25.7 million, or 62.8%, 
for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996.  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, on a comparable basis, these expenses increased to
 21.6% 
for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 from 20.9% for the same period 
last year primarily due to increased amortization expense from goodwill.

Merger and nonrecurring charges of $17.9 million were recorded in the 
thirty-nine 
weeks ended November 2, 1996 following the acquisition of P.T. Moran, Pet Nosh, 
PETS USA and the four former Herman's Sporting Goods locations.

Operating loss of $5.6 million was incurred in the thirty-nine weeks ended 
November 2, 1996, reflecting $17.9 million in merger and nonrecurring charges, 
compared to operating loss of $7.1 million in the prior year, reflecting $13.5 
million in warehousing and acquisition charges.  Operating income, excluding 
the 
merger and nonrecurring charges, on a comparable basis, increased to $12.3 
million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 from $6.4 million for 
the same period last year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales, on a 
comparable basis, increased to 4.0% for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 
1996 from 3.3% for the same period last year. 	

Net interest income was $0.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended 
November 2, 
1996 compared to net interest income of $0.3 million for the same period last 
year.

Income tax benefits were $1.0 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended 
November 2, 
1996 compared to income tax benefits of $12.1 million in the prior year. 
 Income 
tax benefits in the prior year primarily related to the recognition of deferred 
tax assets and the benefit of the loss before incomes taxes for the third 
quarter 
1995.

Net loss of $4.4 million was incurred for the thirty-nine weeks ended 
November 2, 
1996, reflecting the merger and nonrecurring adjustments and related income tax 
benefits, compared to net earnings of $5.3 million for the same period of the 
prior year.   Net earnings, excluding merger and nonrecurring adjustments and 
related tax benefits, on a comparable basis, increased 73.8% to $7.3 million,
 or 
$0.47 per share, for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 compared to
 net 
earnings of $4.2 million, or $0.34 per share, for the thirty-nine weeks ended 
October 28, 1995.



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 
November 2, 
1996, total assets were $252.2 million, of which $115.2 million were current 
assets.  Net cash used in operating activities was $8.0 million for the thirty-
nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 and $0.6 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 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 
thirty-nine 
weeks ended November 2, 1996 the Company acquired three retailers of 
pet food and 
supplies and during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 the Company 
acquired four retailers of pet food and supplies.  Net cash of $7.6 million and 
$4.1 million, respectively, was invested in the acquisitions of these
 businesses.  
Cash used in investing activities was $36.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks 
ended November 2, 1996 and $25.8 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 $5.5 million and $3.0
 million 
of fixed assets were financed in this manner during the thirty-nine weeks ended 
November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995, respectively.  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 thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 and October
 28, 
1995, net proceeds of $78.6 million and $46.9 million, respectively, were 
obtained from public offerings 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 $25.0 
million which expires June 2, 1997.  Borrowings under this facility are 
unsecured 
and bear interest, at the Company's option, at either the bank's reference rate 
or LIBOR plus 1.0%.  At November 2, 1996 the Company had no outstanding 
borrowings under this facility.  The revolving credit facility contains certain 
affirmative and negative covenants related to working capital, net worth, 
leverage, profitability, capital expenditures and payment of cash dividends.

As of February 3, 1996, the Company had available net operating loss 
carryforwards of $8.5 million for federal income tax purposes, which begin 
expiring in 2004, and $1.8 million for California income tax purposes, which 
begin expiring in 1996.



The Company anticipates that available cash and cash equivalents as well 
as funds 
available under the revolving credit facility, funds generated by operations, 
currently available vendor financing, and capital lease and other 
financing will 
be sufficient to finance its continued operations and planned store 
openings for 
at the least the next twelve months.
