                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Stockholders of Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation:
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Orchard
Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary as
of January 28, 1996 and January 29, 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended January 28, 1996. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Orchard Supply Hardware
Stores Corporation and subsidiary as of January 28, 1996 and January 29, 1995
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended January 28, 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

           ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                               JANUARY 28, 1996
 
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Consolidation and Nature of Operations
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orchard Supply
Hardware Stores Corporation ("Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Orchard Supply Hardware Corporation ("Orchard Supply") which operates 60
hardware super stores located in California. As of January 28, 1996, 50 of the
stores were located in Northern and Central California, Orchard Supply's
historical market, and 10 stores were located in Southern California, a
geographical market entered during the year ended January 30, 1994. The
majority of the Company's merchandise is handled through a single warehouse
and distribution facility in Northern California.
 
 Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  All highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or
less are included in cash and cash equivalents. "Outstanding checks, not
cleared by bank" which are included in current liabilities, consists of checks
outstanding against zero balance accounts.
 
 Investments
 
  Effective January 31, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". SFAS No. 115 addresses the accounting and
reporting of investments in equity securities that have readily determinable
fair values and all debt securities and requires that all such investments be
classified as held-to-maturity securities, trading securities or available-
for-sale securities. The Company's securities, classified as available for
sale, are carried at fair market value. The impact of SFAS No. 115 was not
material to the Company.
 
 Inventory
 
  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail first-
in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
 
 Assets Held for Disposal
 
  Assets held for disposal represent the Company's former warehouse building
and a parcel of land adjacent to the new warehouse site which had previously
been included in property and equipment, and are currently being held for
sale. The Company carries these assets at amounts not to exceed net realizable
value.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated primarily on
the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the
estimated useful life of the improvements. The range of estimated useful lives
is as follows:

           ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE STORES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  During the years ended January 30, 1994, January 29, 1995 and January 28,
1996, the Company capitalized interest costs of $448,000, $870,000 and $57,000
related to the construction of new stores.
 
 Leasehold Rights
 
  Leasehold rights represent the difference between the fair market value of
the Company's lease rentals and the stated rental rates at the time of
acquisition. Leasehold rights are amortized over the lives of the lease terms
ranging from five to 35 years.
 
 Pre-Opening Expenses
 
  Costs related to the preparation and opening of new stores are expensed as
incurred. These expenses consist principally of store merchandising and
stocking expenses, personnel recruitment and training costs and grand-opening
advertising and promotional expenses.
 
 Deferred Financing Costs
 
  Deferred financing costs are amortized over the lives of the respective debt
instruments.
 
 Goodwill
 
  Goodwill is amortized over a 40 year period.
 
 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 equivalent shares include common stock issuable upon exercise of
stock options and warrants less shares assumed repurchased with the proceeds
from notes receivable from sale of common stock (using the treasury stock
method, unless antidilutive). Options outstanding pursuant to the Performance
Stock Option Plan (now terminated) and the options granted to the President of
the Company are excluded from the calculation due to their contingent nature.

the next three anniversary dates and the options cannot be granted to those
possessing greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of common stock.
 
  At January 28, 1996, options covering 217,113 shares of common stock were

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
  In April 1992, the Company granted nonqualified stock options outside of the
1989 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan to its President covering 12,045 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $8.33 per share. The options are only
exercisable upon the occurrence of certain mergers, consolidations, business
combinations, asset sales, tender offers and liquidations involving the
Company. Because of the contingent nature of the shares, no measurement date,
as defined, has been established. No compensation expense has been recorded
attributable to these options.
 
8. INCOME TAXES:
 
  In accordance with SFAS No. 109, all deferred tax assets and liabilities are
quantified. Deferred tax assets include operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. A valuation allowance against the tax assets is required to
adjust the assets to realizable amounts. Changes in the valuation allowance
are generally a component of the income tax provision.
 
  The major components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows
(in thousands):

</TABLE>
 
  As of January 28, 1996, for tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $4.0 million and $1.1 million available to
offset federal and California taxable income, respectively. These net
operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through the fiscal year
ending January 2010 and state loss carryforwards expire at various dates
through the fiscal year ending January 2000. As a result of the initial public
offering and other ownership changes, the Internal Revenue Code, as amended,
may limit the Company's ability to utilize its federal income tax net
operating loss carryforwards. Any annual limitation amount determined by this
computation that is not used in the current year increases the succeeding
year's annual limitation amount. The Company's ability to utilize net
operating loss carryforwards as computed for California income tax purposes
may be similarly limited. The limitation on the use of net operating loss
carryforwards may have the effect of accelerating a portion of the Company's
income tax liability to an earlier year, and may also result in an overall
increase in income taxes payable by the Company. Whether the Company's
liability for taxes will be accelerated or increased will depend on numerous
factors, including whether and the extent to which future annual taxable
income of the Company exceeds the annual limitation, whether the Company is
paying tax based on its regular taxable income or its alternative minimum
taxable income and whether and the extent to which California permits
corporations to deduct net operating loss carryforwards for California income
tax purposes.
 
  The Company has made income tax payments of approximately $1.2 million, $-0-
and $2.8 million in the years ended January 30, 1994, January 29, 1995 and
January 28, 1996 respectively, primarily toward tax liabilities computed for
alternative minimum tax purposes. Such payments are recorded as prepayments
which will be applied against future liabilities computed for regular tax
purposes.
 
9. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
 Working Capital Accounts
 
  The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.
 
 Long-term Debt
 
  Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans
with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt is
approximately $135.6 million versus the carrying amount of approximately
$134.3 million at January 28, 1996.

               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 to Consolidated Financial Statements
which are filed herewith.
 
GENERAL
 
  Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (the "Company" or "Orchard") opened
14 stores in fiscal 1994 and five stores in fiscal 1995. The Company plans to
open five to seven 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 has implemented its new store opening program, operating
expenses as a percent of sales for the new stores are higher on average,
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 fiscal 1996,
particularly in the second half of the year. 
 
  The following table sets forth selected results of operations as percentages
of sales for the periods indicated:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 52 Weeks ended January 28, 1996 (fiscal 1995) compared to 52 Weeks ended
 January 29, 1995 (fiscal 1994).
 
  Sales for fiscal 1995 increased by 20.6% to $532.4 million from $441.6
million in fiscal 1994. The increase is attributable to an 8.0% gain in
comparable store sales and the sales contributed by the 19 stores opened since
the beginning of 1994 before they were included in the comparable store base.
The comparable store sales increase reflects the diminishing effect of eight
competing warehouse home centers that opened primarily in late 1993, the
recent closing of four competing warehouse home centers, and sales gains
achieved by 14 Orchard stores opened in the prior fiscal year which are now
part of the comparable store base. Improving economic conditions in California
also were a contributing factor.
 
  Gross margin increased $32.4 million from $160.3 million for fiscal 1994 to
$192.7 million for fiscal 1995. As a percentage of sales, gross margin
decreased from 36.3% for fiscal 1994 to 36.2% for fiscal 1995. A decline in
purchase markup was offset partially by reduced inventory shrinkage and
leveraging of warehouse operating costs.
 
  Operating expenses increased by $23.2 million from $137.9 million for fiscal
1994 to $161.0 million for fiscal 1995. As a percentage of sales, these
expenses decreased from 31.2% for fiscal 1994 to 30.2% for fiscal 1995.
Decreased payroll costs as a percentage of sales were offset partially by an
increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of sales in the Southern
California stores.
 
  Pre-opening expenses decreased to $2.4 million for fiscal 1995 from $7.5
million for fiscal 1994. The decrease in pre-opening expenses is due to five
new store openings in 1995 versus 14 stores in the prior year, in addition to
lower average pre-opening costs per store. Operating income before pre-opening
expenses for fiscal 1995 increased by $9.2 million or 41.1% from fiscal 1994.
 
  Operating income increased by $14.4 million from $14.9 million in fiscal
1994 to $29.2 million in fiscal 1995. As a percent of sales, operating income
increased from 3.4% to 5.5%. Sales increases, the leveraging of expenses and
reduced pre-opening expenses were the main contributors to the increase in
operating income.
 
  Interest expense increased by $0.7 million from $12.6 million in fiscal 1994
to $13.3 million for fiscal 1995. In fiscal 1994 the Company capitalized an
additional $0.8 million of construction period interest on new store
construction projects and realized $0.4 million more in interest income than
in fiscal 1995. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a
$0.5 million expense reduction due to a decrease in long-term debt.
 
  The Company recorded an income tax provision for fiscal 1995 at an effective
tax rate of 27.0%, reflecting the reversal of a previously established
valuation allowance. Future effective income tax rates should approximate the
combined federal and state statutory rate and are estimated to be
approximately 41.0% in fiscal 1996. See Note 8 to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
 52 Weeks ended January 29, 1995 (fiscal 1994) compared to 52 Weeks ended
 January 30, 1994 (fiscal 1993).
 
  Sales for fiscal 1994 increased by 21.0% to $441.6 million from $365.1
million for fiscal 1993. Increased sales as a result of 14 new stores opened
in fiscal 1994 were partially offset by a 1.1% decrease in comparable store
sales. Comparable store sales were impacted by the eight competing warehouse
home centers that opened in Orchard markets, principally in the second half of
fiscal 1993, and unfavorable weather conditions in Northern California during
a five week period in April and May, 1994.
 
  Gross margin increased $29.5 million from $130.8 million in fiscal 1993 to
$160.3 million in fiscal 1994. As a percent of sales, gross margin increased
from 35.8% for fiscal 1993 to 36.3% for fiscal 1994. The increase in gross
margin percentage resulted primarily from an increase in the purchase markup
due to a reduction in the cost of merchandise achieved through improved
buying. Lower inventory shrinkage and reduced permanent markdowns also
contributed to the favorable gross margin performance.
 
<PAGE>
 
  Operating expenses for fiscal 1994 were 31.2% of sales compared with 29.3%
of sales for fiscal 1993, an increase of 1.9% of sales. The increase is
partially attributable to higher advertising, rent and payroll costs as a
percent of sales for the 14 new stores opened in fiscal 1994 which have not
yet achieved sales maturity. The negative impact of the comparable store sales
decline on the sales base as described above also contributed to higher
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales.
 
  Pre-opening expenses increased to $7.5 million for fiscal 1994 from $2.2
million for fiscal 1993. The increase in pre-opening expenses is due to 14 new
store openings in fiscal 1994 versus four new store openings in the prior
year. Operating income before pre-opening expense for fiscal 1994 decreased by
$1.5 million from fiscal 1993.
 
  Operating income decreased by $6.8 million from $21.7 million for fiscal
1993 to $14.9 million for fiscal 1994. As a percentage of sales, operating
income decreased to 3.4% for fiscal 1994 from 6.0% for fiscal 1993. Higher
pre-opening costs and increased corporate expenses associated with the
Company's expansion program were the main contributors to the decrease in
operating income.
 
  Interest expense increased from $11.6 million for fiscal 1993 to $12.6
million for fiscal 1994. The increase was due primarily to additional interest
resulting from the issuance by the Company in January 1994 of$100 million
aggregate principal amount of 9 3/8% Notes which was partially offset by
reduced interest due to the retirement of $19.3 million of 14.5% Senior
Subordinated Discount Notes and $30.0 million of 9% Senior Notes on February
25, 1994.
 
  The Company did not record a tax provision as a result of the reversal of a
previously established valuation allowance. See Note 8 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
 
  The results of operations for fiscal 1993 included extraordinary charges of
$9.3 million resulting from the early extinguishment of $44.7 million in
aggregate principal amount of the 14.5% Subordinated Notes in April 1993 and
the remaining $19.3 million of 14.5% Subordinated Notes and $30 million of the
9% Senior Notes in February 1994.
 
QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following table presents certain unaudited quarterly consolidated
financial information for each of the Company's last eight fiscal quarters. In
the opinion of the Company's management, this quarterly information has been
prepared on the same basis as audited consolidated financial statements and
includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the unaudited quarterly results set forth herein.
The Company's quarterly results have in the past been subject to fluctuations,
and thus, the operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative
of results for any future period.

</TABLE>
 
  The Company's results of operations exhibit some measure of seasonality.
Generally, the Company's sales and operating income are highest in the second
quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. This is due primarily to seasonality
in sales of garden, nursery and related products, which peak at the beginning
of the spring/summer gardening season. The Company has experienced losses in
the fourth quarter in the past and may experience losses in this quarter in
the future. 
 
  The Company's quarterly results and comparable store sales comparisons are
subject to various factors including consumer confidence, promotional
marketing efforts, maturation of new stores, weather conditions and
competitive store changes. 
 
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 Hardware Corporation 
("Orchard Supply"), had long-term debt and capital lease obligations as of
January 28, 1996 of $134.3 million, including (i) $100.0 million of 9 3/8%
senior notes due February 15, 2002, (ii) $20.0 million of store mortgage notes,
and (iii) $12.8 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 $8.5 million
of letters of credit were outstanding at January 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
January 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 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.
 
<PAGE>
 
  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 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.
 
  The Company believes that funds from operations, together with the proceeds
of the anticipated underwritten public offering of its common stock, 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 at
least the next 18 months.
 
EFFECT OF INFLATION
 
  The effect of inflation on the Company's results of operations has not been
material in the periods discussed.
 
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (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.
Measurement of the loss for assets that the entity expects to hold and use are
to be based on the fair value of the asset. Although management does not
expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations at adoption, its provisions, when adopted,
will be applicable to any future assessments of its long-lived assets. SFAS
No. 121 will be adopted in fiscal 1996.
