                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                (In thousands, except share and per share data)

(1)   The Company
      (a) Nature of Business
           Sight Resource Corporation (the "Company") manufactures, distributes
           and sells eyewear and related products and services.

      (b) Acquisitions
           Effective January 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the
           outstanding shares of stock of Shawnee Optical, Inc. ("Shawnee"). The
           purchase price paid in connection with this acquisition was $1,750 in
           cash, $300 in notes payable over three years and 70,000 shares of
           common stock. Shawnee operated nine eye care centers in Pennsylvania
           and Ohio. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method
           of accounting. In connection with the acquisition, the Company
           recorded purchase accounting adjustments to increase liabilities and
           establish reserves for the closing of facilities and related
           restructuring costs, including lease commitments and severance costs.
           The Company preliminarily recorded $450 in acquisition reserves, of
           which the Company provided a reserve of $400 for the potential
           closing of two stores and one laboratory, and a reserve of $50 for
           costs to sever administrative, store and laboratory personnel. During
           1999, the Company further revised its plan and determined that no
           stores or laboratories would be closed. The Company reduced these
           reserves by $450 against goodwill as an adjustment to the cost of the
           acquired enterprise. No amounts have been charged against the
           acquisition reserves. At June 24, 2000, there were no purchase
           accounting reserves for this acquisition.

           Effective April 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
           shares of stock of Kent Optical Company and its associated companies
           (collectively, "Kent"). The purchase price paid in connection with
           this acquisition was $5,209 in cash, $1,000 in notes payable over
           three years and 160,000 shares of common stock. Kent operated 28 eye
           care centers in Michigan. The acquisition was accounted for using the
           purchase method of accounting. In connection with the acquisition,
           the Company recorded $91.5 as a reserve for potential costs to sever
           administrative and store personnel. At June 24, 2000, no amounts have
           been charged against this reserve.

           The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the
           Company gives effect to the acquisition of Kent as if it became
           effective on January 1, 1999. These pro forma results have been
           prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be
           indicative of the results of operations which actually would have
           resulted had the Kent acquisition occurred on the date indicated, or
           which may result in the future.

</TABLE>

         The above unaudited pro forma financial information reflects certain
         adjustments, including amortization of goodwill, and an increase in the
         weighted average shares outstanding. This pro forma information does
         not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have
         occurred had the Kent acquisition taken place at the beginning of 1999
         and is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be obtained
         in the future.

     (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policy
         Basis of Presentation
          The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
          by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
          the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Company,
          these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
          (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to
          present fairly the financial position of Sight Resource Corporation as
          of June 24, 2000 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
          the periods presented.

          The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December. Each
          quarter represents a thirteen-week period, except during a fifty-three
          week year in which case the fourth quarter represents a fourteen-week
          period. The quarters ended June 24, 2000 and June 26, 1999 were
          thirteen-weeks; the six months ended June 24, 2000 and June 26, 1999
          represent 26-week periods. Fiscal year 2000 is a fifty-three week
          fiscal year and 1999 was a fifty-two week fiscal year.

          The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes
          should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
          statements which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                 (In thousands, except share and per share data)

     Each operating segment is individually managed and has separate financial
     results that are reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision-makers.
     Each segment contains closely related products that are unique to the
     particular segment.

     The principal products of the Company's eye care centers are eyeglasses,
     frames, ophthalmic lenses and contact lenses.

     Profit from operations is net sales less cost of sales and selling, general
     and administrative expenses, but is not affected by non-operating
     charges/income or by income taxes.

     Non-operating charges/income consists principally of net interest expense.

     In calculating profit from operations for individual operating segments,
     certain administrative expenses incurred at the operating level that are
     common to more than one segment are not allocated on a net sales basis.

     All intercompany transactions have been eliminated, and intersegment
     revenues are not significant.

(5) Other Information

     The Company has been notified that the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq")
     has determined that the Company no longer meets the criteria to continue
     its listing on Nasdaq for the following reasons: (1) the Company does not
     meet the minimum net tangible assets requirement of $4,000 and (2) the
     Company has not maintained a minimum bid price per share of Common Stock of
     $1.00 during the 30 trading days preceding the date of Nasdaq's notice. The
     Company has filed an appeal of Nasdaq's determination and a hearing on the
     matter has been scheduled for August 31, 2000.

                   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 Statements contained in this document which are not historical fact are
forward-looking statements based upon management's current expectations that are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ

Overview

Sight Resource Corporation (the "Company") manufactures, distributes and sells
eyewear and related products and services. As of June 24, 2000, the Company's
operations consisted of 128 eye care centers, with two regional optical
laboratories and three distribution centers, making the Company one of the
fifteen largest providers in the United States' primary eye care industry based
upon sales. The Company's eye care centers operate primarily under the brand
names Cambridge Eye Doctors, E.B. Brown Opticians, Eyeglass Emporium, Kent
Optical, Shawnee Optical, Vision Plaza, and Vision World. The Company also
provides, or where necessary to comply with applicable law administers the
business functions of optometrists, ophthalmologists and professional
corporations that provide, vision related professional services.

The Company operates two regional optical laboratories and three distribution
centers. The regional optical laboratories provide complete laboratory services
to the Company's eye care centers, including polishing, cutting and edging,
tempering, tinting and coating of ophthalmic lenses. The distribution centers
provide and maintain an inventory of all accessories and supplies necessary to
operate the primary eye care centers in their regions, as well as "ready made"
eye care products, including contact lenses and related supplies. The inventory
of eyeglass lenses, frames, contact lenses, accessories and supplies is acquired
through a number of sources, domestic and foreign. Management believes that the
regional optical laboratories and distribution centers have the capacity to
accommodate additional multi-site eye care centers.

Results of Operations

Three Months and Six Months Ended June 24, 2000 and June 26, 1999

Net Revenue. During the three months ended June 24, 2000, the Company generated
net revenue of approximately $16.3 and $0.2 million from the operation of its
128 eye care centers and laser vision correction affiliation, respectively, as
compared to net revenue of approximately $16.9 and $0.7 million from its 130 eye
care and two LVC centers, respectively, for the three months ended June 26,
1999. Net revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2000 were approximately
$33.6 million and $0.4 million from the operations of its eye care centers and
laser vision correction affiliation, respectively, as compared to net revenue of
approximately $32.0 million and $1.3 million from its eye

                                       11
<PAGE>

care centers and LVC centers for the comparable period of fiscal 1999. The $1.1
million, or 6.3% decrease in total net revenue for the three months ended June
24, 2000 relates to lower average net sales per store. The $0.7 million or 2.0%
increase in total net revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2000 relates
primarily to the additional 37 eye care centers acquired since January 1, 1999,
offset somewhat by reduced laser vision correction revenues.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased from approximately $5.5 million and
$0.3 million from the operation of the 130 eye care centers and two LVC centers,
respectively, for the three months ended June 26, 1999 to approximately $4.9
million and $0.2 million from the operation of the 128 eye care centers and the
Company's laser vision correction affiliation, respectively, for the three
months ended June 24, 2000. Total cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue
decreased from 33.1% for the three months ended June 26, 1999 to 31.1% for the
three months ended June 24, 2000. Cost of revenue increased from approximately
$10.1 million from the operation of the eye care centers for the first six
months of 1999 to approximately $10.2 million for the first six months of 2000.
Cost of revenue decreased from approximately $0.7 million from the operation of
the Company's LVC centers for the first six months of 1999 to approximately $0.3
million from its laser vision correction affiliation for the first six months of
2000. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 32.5% for
the six months ended June 26, 1999 to 30.9% for the six months ended June 24,
2000. The improvement as a percentage of net revenue primarily reflects the
realization of purchasing economies, less sales price discounting, and, to a
lesser extent, some small retail price increases. Cost of revenue principally
consisted of (i) the cost of manufacturing, purchasing and distributing optical
products to customers of the Company and (ii) the cost of delivering LVC
services, including depreciation and maintenance on excimer lasers.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were approximately $11.7 million and $23.9 million for
the three months and six months ended June 24, 2000 as compared to approximately
$11.3 million and $21.5 million for the three and six months ended June 26,
1999. The increase primarily relates to inflationary pressures that increased
payroll and occupancy costs. Selling, general and administrative expense, as a
percentage of net revenue, increased from 64.3% to 71.0% for the three months
ended June 24, 2000, and increased from 64.5% to 70.2% for the six months ended
June 24, 2000 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. The increase
relates to inflationary pressures that increased payroll and occupancy cost as
well as payroll and facility costs incurred in operating additional eye care
centers in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the corresponding period in
fiscal 1999.

Other Income and Expense. Interest income totaled $17,000 and $29,000 for the
three months and six months ended June 24, 2000, respectively, as compared to
$19,000 and $61,000 for the three and six months ended June 26, 1999,
respectively. This decrease resulted from the investment of a lower average cash
and cash equivalents balance during the first and second quarters of 2000 as
compared to the same period in 1999. Interest expense totaled $296,000 and
$519,000 for the three and six months ended June 24, 2000, respectively, as
compared to $162,000 and $244,000 for the three and six months ended June 26,
1999, respectively. The increase resulted from higher interest rates and a
higher average balance of debt outstanding during the first and second quarters
of 2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999. The non-cash write-off of
deferred financing costs for the three months ended June 24, 2000 resulted from
the costs associated with the Company's credit facility that are required by
GAAP to be written off in connection with the execution of the loan modification
dated March 31, 2000.

Net Income (Loss).  The Company realized a net loss of $695,000, or ($0.08) per
share on a basic and diluted weighted average basis, for the three months ended
June 24, 2000 as compared to net income of $288,000, or $0.03 per share on a
basic and diluted basis, for the same period last year. The Company realized a
net loss of $982,000 or ($0.11) per share basic and diluted for the six months
ended June 24, 2000, as compared to net income of $461,000 or $0.05 per share
basic and $0.04 on a diluted basis for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 24, 2000, the Company had approximately $0.065 million in cash and cash
equivalents and a working capital deficit of approximately ($4.6) million, in
comparison to approximately $0.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of approximately $1.0 million as of December 25, 1999. As
compared to December 25, 1999, current assets have increased by $0.1 million and
current liabilities have increased by $5.7 million. The decrease in working
capital and increase in current liabilities is primarily due to the bank debt of
$6.3 million which is now classified as current with a maturity date of March
31, 2001.

To date the Company has financed its capital expenditures, operating
requirements, growth and acquisitions primarily through cash from operations,
bank borrowings, the public and private sale of its equity securities and lease
financing. On March 31, 2001, the Company's bank debt, which has an outstanding
balance of approximately $6.3 million as of July 31, 2000, will mature. The
Company is presently in discussions with potential lenders to pursue a
refinancing of the existing bank debt. If the Company is unable to refinance the
bank debt before it matures, the Company's financial condition could be
materially adversely affected. In addition to pursuing the refinancing, the
Company has retained Paine Webber Incorporated as its financial advisor to work
with management in exploring strategic alternatives for the Company, including
mergers, joint ventures, strategic partnerships and equity or debt financing.

Effective April 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
stock of Kent Optical Company and its affiliates (collectively, "Kent"). The
purchase price of this acquisition was $5.2 million in cash, $1.0 million in
notes payable in annual substantially equal installments commencing April, 2000
and continuing until April, 2002, and 160,000 shares of common stock. Kent
operated 28 eye care centers in central and southwest Michigan. The acquisition
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

As of June 24, 2000, the Company had securities outstanding which provide it
with potential sources of financing as outlined below:

                                                                     $4,126,718
                                                                     ==========

As of June 24, 2000, the Company also has outstanding 374,582 Class I Warrants.
The Class I Warrants entitle the holder to purchase an amount of shares of the
Company's common stock equal to an aggregate of up to 19.9% of the shares of
common stock purchasable under the Company's outstanding warrants and options on
the same terms and conditions of existing warrant and option holders. The
purchaser is obligated to exercise these warrants at the same time the options
and warrants of existing holders are exercised, subject to certain limitations.
The amount of proceeds from the exercise of these warrants cannot be estimated
at this time.

                                       13

There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain any such proceeds from
the exercise of the above securities.

On February 20, 1997, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "1997
Agreement") with a bank pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to $5.0
million on a term loan basis and up to $5.0 million on a revolving credit basis,
subject to certain performance criteria. As part of the 1997 Agreement, the
Company issued to the bank warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the common
stock at a purchase price of $4.625 per share. The warrants expire December 31,
2003. As noted in the next paragraph below, the Company has entered into a new
credit facility and retired the 1997 Agreement.

On April 15, 1999, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "1999
Agreement") with a bank pursuant to which the Company could borrow $10.0 million
on an acquisition line of credit, $7.0 million on a term loan basis and $3.0
million on a revolving line of credit basis, subject to certain performance
criteria and a asset-related borrowing base for the revolver. The performance
criteria include, among others, financial condition covenants such as net worth
requirements, indebtedness to net worth ratios, debt service coverage ratios,
funded debt coverage ratios, and pretax profit, net profit and EBITDA
requirements. The acquisition line facility bore interest at either the bank's
prime rate, or LIBOR plus 2.25%, or at a comparable interest swap rate at the
Company's election. The term loan facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% or
at a comparable interest swap rate at the Company's election. The revolving
credit facility bore interest at the bank's prime rate or LIBOR plus 2.0% at the
Company's election. As of June 24, 2000, $6.3 million was borrowed on the term
loan and $1.775 million was borrowed on the revolving credit facility.

At December 25, 1999, the Company was not in compliance with the following
financial covenants of the 1999 Agreement: minimum net worth, minimum debt
service coverage, maximum funded debt service coverage and minimum net profit.
However, on March 31, 2000, the Company and the bank entered into a modification
agreement that amended the 1999 Agreement in order to, among other things, waive
the Company's default, adjust certain covenants to which the Company is subject
and terminate the acquisition line of credit. In addition, the modification
agreement limits the revolving line note to $2.5 million and the term loan to
$6.75 million and establishes the maturity date for each of these credit lines
as March 31, 2001. Also, the modification agreement establishes the following
interest rates for both the revolving line note and term loan: (i) from the
closing date of the agreement through August 31, 2000 - prime rate + 1.0%; (ii)
from September 1, 2000 through October 31, 2000 - prime rate + 2.0%; and (iii)
from November 1, 2000 through March 31, 2001 - prime rate + 3.0%. The scheduled
monthly principal payments for the term loan have been adjusted to $83,333.33
from April, 2000 through July, 2000, $100,000.00 from August, 2000 through
December, 2000 and $125,000.00 from January, 2001 through March, 2001. The
Company intends to consider and pursue alternative lenders to refinance this
credit arrangement on a long-term basis. In addition, the Company has retained
PaineWebber Incorporated as its financial advisor to work with management in
exploring strategic alternatives, including mergers, joint ventures, strategic
partnerships and equity or debt financing, to support the future growth of the
business and maximize shareholder value.

The Company has an acquisition strategy to acquire and integrate the assets of
multi-site eye care centers and the practices of eye care professionals and to
employ or enter into management services contracts with these professionals.
This strategy includes both

                                       14

expanding existing regional markets and entering new regional markets. The
Company will also target acquisitions in strategic markets that will serve as
platforms from which the Company can consolidate a given service area by making
and integrating additional "in-market" acquisitions. The Company from time to
time will evaluate potential acquisition candidates. Without additional funding,
the Company's rate of acquisition and size of acquisition could be limited.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
establishes accounting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
"derivatives") and for hedging activities, and required adoption in periods
beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 was subsequently amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 ("Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities"). SFAS No. 137 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 137, which becomes effective for the Company
in its year ending December 31, 2001, is not expected to have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Year 2000 Issue

The Company did not experience any difficulties related to the Year 2000 problem
on December 31, 1999, and we are not aware of any such difficulties since that
date. The Company's operations have not, to date, been adversely affected by any
difficulties experienced by suppliers or customers in connection with the Year
2000 problem. The Company's Year 2000 Compliance Plan also addressed issues
related to the date February 29, 2000, and management will continue to monitor
systems for potential difficulties through the remainder of calendar year 2000.

Item 3:   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has not entered into any transactions using derivative financial
instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believes that its exposure
to market risk associated with other financial instruments (such as investments)
is not material.
