              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    ---------------------

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended January 28,
1996 included in the Company's Form 10-K.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) that
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the
periods presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.


2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
    ------------------

Net income per common and equivalent share is computed by dividing net income
available to common stock (net income less preferred stock dividend
requirements) by the weighted average number of common and equivalent shares.
Common and common equivalent shares include common stock issuable upon exercise
of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) less shares
assumed repurchased with the proceeds from the management notes. Common
equivalents included in the weighted average number of shares assume the
conversion of options outstanding under the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, the
1993 Non-Employee Directors Plan, the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the warrants,
unless antidilutive. Certain options granted to the President are excluded from
the calculation due to their contingent nature.

For purposes of the calculation of earnings per share on a fully-diluted basis,
outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock are assumed to be converted if
dilutive.


3.  INCOME TAX PROVISION
    --------------------

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended July 28, 1996 reflects the
estimated tax rate for the year ending January 26, 1997 based upon projected
income and other factors and approximates the combined federal and state of
California rates. The rate for the quarter ended July 30, 1995 reflects the
reversal of a previously established valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards.

4.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
    --------------------------------

Effective January 29, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of". This
pronouncement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is to be recognized when the sum of undiscounted
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The adoption of this
pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.


5.  PUBLIC SALE OF COMMON STOCK (THE OFFERING)
    ------------------------------------------

In March, 1996, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $11.3 million
in connection with the public sale of 500,000 shares of its common stock. The
Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purpose.

Pursuant to the public offering, the Company's largest stockholder also sold
2,375,000 shares and reduced its beneficial ownership from 48% to 18%.


6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
    -----------------

On August 21, 1996, Sears, Roebuck and Co., through a wholly owned subsidiary,
commenced a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock at $35.00 per share. Such offer is expected to be consummated on or
after September 19, 1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January
28, 1996 included in the Company's Form 10-K. This Form 10-Q contains forward-
looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual
results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-
looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are
not limited to, those discussed in "Business--Risk Factors" in the Company's
Form 10-K.

On August 21, 1996, Sears, Roebuck and Co., through a wholly owned subsidiary,
commenced a tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock at $35.00 per share.  Such offer is expected to be consummated on
or after September 19, 1996.


GENERAL
- -------

The Company opened 14 stores in fiscal 1994 and five stores in fiscal 1995.  The
Company plans to open five stores in fiscal 1996.  As a result of the Company's
accelerated expansion and entry into Southern California, the Company incurred
substantial store pre-opening expenses amounting to $7.5 million for fiscal 1994
and $2.4 million for fiscal 1995.  These pre-opening expenses consist
principally of store merchandising and stocking expenses, personnel recruitment
and training costs and grand-opening advertising and promotional expenses.  In
fiscal 1996, the Company expects pre-opening expenses to be approximately $0.4
million to $0.5 million per store.


As the Company implements its new store opening program, operating expenses as a
percent of sales for new stores will initially be higher, adversely affecting
overall operating margins until these new stores achieve sales maturity.  The
Company's average store achieves maturity after approximately four years.  In
addition, the Company has generally experienced higher marketing, distribution
and occupancy costs in its new stores in the Southern California market.  The
Company believes, however, that these higher expenses should be offset by higher
sales at these stores (when these stores achieve maturity), bringing margins for
Southern California stores in line with those for Northern and Central
California stores.

The Company experienced a strong comparable store sales increase in fiscal 1995,
especially in the second half of the year.  The Company does not expect to
sustain its rate of comparable store sales growth in the second half of fiscal
1996.

The Company's results of operations exhibit some degree of seasonality.
Generally, the Company's sales and operating income are highest in the second
quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter.  This is primarily attributable to
seasonality in sales of garden, nursery and related products which peak at the
beginning of spring/summer gardening season.  The Company has experienced losses
in the fourth quarter in the past and may experience losses in that quarter in
the future.

The Company's business can be negatively impacted by adverse weather conditions,
particularly the sales of garden and nursery products which comprised
approximately 27% of the Company's total

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
sales for fiscal 1995. For example, the Company's results in the first half of
fiscal 1995 were adversely impacted by unusually wet weather in Northern and
Central California, and nursery and garden sales were also negatively affected
during the prolonged drought in California in the early 1990s.

The increase reflects a 8.1% rise in comparable store sales during the quarter
as well as four new stores opened since the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The
increase in comparable store sales reflects an improving economic climate in
California, the inclusion of sales gains achieved by maturing Orchard stores
opened within the last two years and sales generated through an increased focus
on the commercial customer segment and the Company's private label credit
program.

Gross margin increased $7.9 million from $52.3 million for the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 to $60.2 million for the comparable period this year. Gross margin
as a percent of sales increased from 36.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 1995
to 37.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in gross margin
percentage is attributable primarily to the reduction of inventory shrinkage.
Management believes that programs instituted at the stores over the last two
years have been beneficial in controlling inventory shrinkage. These programs
have included the installation of tool corrals and electronic merchandise
surveillance and increased employee awareness. Also

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
contributing to the improvement were improved margins due to a favorable sales
mix and lower warehouse operating costs as a percentage of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
1996 were 28.9% of sales compared with 28.6% of sales in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995. Increases as a percentage of sales in advertising expenditures,
bonuses, and credit department costs related to the Company's Club OSH program
were partially offset by reduced store occupancy costs.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased $2.4 million or
22.1% to $13.0 million from $10.7 million in last year's second quarter.
Increased sales and gross margin as a percentage of sales were primarily
responsible for the increase in operating income. Pre-opening expenses in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 of $0.3 million are related to the Yorba Linda,
California store opened in May, 1996.

Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million from $3.4 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 1995 to $3.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
Interest on mortgage loans decreased as a result of the reduction in principal
balances and a decreased interest rate on the store mortgage loan due 2002 based
on an annual rate adjustment. In addition, the Company's improved cash position
in fiscal 1996 resulted in reduced borrowing under Orchard Supply's senior
revolving credit facility, as well as increased interest income on temporary
investments.

Income taxes were included in the fiscal 1995 second quarter results at an
effective rate of only 22.8% as compared with a fully taxed rate of 41.0% in
fiscal 1996. The provision for fiscal 1995 reflects the reversal of a previously
established valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, primarily net
operating losses. The valuation allowance attributable to net operating loss
carryforwards was fully reversed in fiscal 1995 and as a result, the effective
tax rates for future periods are expected to approximate the rate for the fiscal
1996 second quarter. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 28, 1996 AND JULY 30, 1995
- ------------------------------------------------

Sales for the six months ended July 28, 1996 increased by 11.9% to $303.1
million from $270.8 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1995. The
increase is attributable to a 8.6% gain in comparable store sales and the sales
contributed by 4 stores opened since the second quarter of fiscal 1995.

Gross margin increased $13.4 million from $98.0 million for the first six months
of fiscal 1995 to $111.4 million for the comparable period of 1996. As a
percentage of sales gross margin increased from 36.2% for the first six months
of fiscal 1995 to 36.8% for the first six months of fiscal 1996. The increase in
gross margin resulted primarily from reduced inventory shrinkage and warehouse
operating costs as explained in the discussion of the second quarter results.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $9.4 million from
$79.1 million for the first six months of 1995 to $88.5 million for the first
six months of 1996. These expenses were 29.2% of sales for both periods.
Increases in advertising, bonuses, and credit card department expenses were
offset primarily by decreased base payroll as a percentage of sales.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
Operating income increased by $4.5 million from $17.9 million in the first six
months of fiscal 1995 to $22.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 1996.
Pre-opening expenses decreased by $0.5 million from $1.0 million in the first
six months of fiscal 1995 to $0.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal
1996 primarily as a result of one less store opening in the 1996 six month
period. Operating income before pre-opening expenses for the first six months of
1996 increased by $4.0 million or 21.3% from the comparable period of 1995.
Increased sales and higher gross margin percentage were largely responsible for
this increase.

Interest expense decreased by $0.6 million from $6.9 million for the first six
months of fiscal 1995 to $6.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 1996.
Interest on mortgage loans decreased as a result of the reduction in principal
balances and a decreased interest rate on the store mortgage loan due 2002 based
on an annual rate adjustment. In addition, the Company's improved cash position
in fiscal 1996 resulted in reduced borrowing under Orchard Supply's senior
revolving credit facility, as well as increased interest income on temporary
investments.

Income taxes were included in the fiscal 1995 second quarter results at an
effective rate of only 22.0% as compared with a fully taxed rate of 41.0% in
fiscal 1996. The provision for fiscal 1995 reflects the reversal of a previously
established valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, primarily net
operating losses. The valuation allowance attributable to net operating loss
carryforwards was fully reversed in fiscal 1995 and as a result, the effective
tax rates for future periods are expected to approximate the rate for the fiscal
1996 first quarter. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company's liquidity needs arise primarily from the funding of the Company's
capital expenditures, working capital requirements, ongoing expansion program,
and service on indebtedness.

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Orchard Supply, had long-term debt and
capital lease obligations as of July 28, 1996 of $132.8 million, including (i)
$100.0 million of 9 3/8% senior notes due February 15, 2002, (ii) $19.7 million
of store mortgage notes and (iii) $11.7 million of warehouse mortgage notes. In
addition, the Company has up to $40.0 million of revolving credit availability
under Orchard Supply's senior revolving credit facility (the "Financing
Agreement") (with a $10.0 million sublimit for letters of credit) of which no
borrowings and $4.0 million of letters of credit were outstanding at July 28,
1996. Orchard Supply's debt instruments contain financial and operating
covenants including, among other things, requirements that Orchard Supply
maintain certain financial ratios and satisfy certain financial tests and
limitations on Orchard Supply's ability to make capital expenditures, to incur
other indebtedness, and to pay dividends. At July 28, 1996, the Company and
Orchard Supply were in compliance with all covenants contained in such debt
instruments.

The Company's business strategy requires that it maintain broad product lines
and large inventories, however, the effect of this strategy on working capital
is somewhat minimized through the receipt of trade credit. The Company's working
capital is also affected by accounts receivable arising from its proprietary
credit card which had an average monthly balance for fiscal 1995 of $12.5
million. The

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
Company will fund its working capital needs through a combination of funds from
operations and borrowings under the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement
permits borrowings based on percentages of the Company's eligible inventory and
accounts receivable and remains effective through May 1999.

In connection with Orchard's expansion plans, the Company anticipates capital
additions of approximately $0.9 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment
for each new store opened, a portion of which may be acquired under operating
leases. The Company expects that pre-opening expenses for a new store will range
from approximately $0.4 million to $0.5 million. The initial inventory
requirement for new stores, net of trade credit, is estimated at $1.0 million
per store. In the event that the Company is responsible for the renovation or
remodeling of the existing space to be leased, the Company anticipates incurring
additional capital expenditures of approximately $1.0 million to $1.8 million
per store. If the Company elects to purchase the real estate, the capital
expenditure would range from approximately $2.5 million for owned store
improvements constructed on leased land to $4.0 million to $7.0 million if the
entire property were to be owned by the Company.

The Company's capital expenditure plan for fiscal 1996 and 1997 provides for
annual capital expenditures of $19.8 million and $17.0 million, respectively.
This capital expenditure plan includes the expenditures of approximately $4.0
million to $5.0 million annually for the maintenance of existing facilities. The
remainder of the annual budgeted amounts will be used primarily for the opening
of new stores, including fixtures and leasehold improvements with respect to the
new stores, and computer equipment. The Company has historically obtained some
of its equipment through operating leases, and expects to be able to procure
such arrangements in the future. The inability of the Company to procure such
arrangements for its capital expenditure program may have a negative impact on
the ability of the Company to make capital expenditures.

In March 1996, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $11.3 million
in connection with the public sale of 500,000 shares of its common stock. The
Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate
purposes, including working capital, and to fund its continuing new store
expansion.

The Company believes that funds from operations, together with the proceeds of
the Offering, borrowing availability under the Financing Agreement and financing
through operating leases, will be adequate to fund the Company's operating
requirements and capital expenditure program and meet its debt and dividend
obligations for the next several years.


EFFECT OF INFLATION
- -------------------

The effect of inflation on the Company's result of operations has not been
material in the periods discussed.
