ITEM 2 - ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On June 15, 1999, the Company announced the closing of three stores located in
Mansfield, Ohio; Akron, Ohio; and Boardman, Ohio. Concurrent with the
announcement, the Company sold the land and building of its Mansfield store and
its previously closed Canton store for $8,600,000. The Company also assigned its
lease in the West Akron location to the same purchaser of the Canton and
Mansfield properties. The Boardman location, which had a lease commitment
through September 2008 for approximately $600,000 per year, was amended to
terminate on September 30, 1999. The Company paid $414,173 in consideration for
the reduced lease term.

The Company also entered into an Agreement (the Agreement) with a third party to
act as its agent to sell the merchandise inventories located at the closed
stores. The Company will receive a guaranteed amount from the inventory
liquidation based on a formula outlined in the Agreement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements included in this Current
Report on Form 8-K as listed under Item 7(b) below are presented for

operations which would have actually been attained if the closed stores and sale
of real estate had occurred in the periods indicated. The financial statements
also do not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of
operations which may exist or be attained in the future. For a discussion of the

business, operating results and financial and other condition, including, but
not limited to, the possible effects of the closed stores and sale of real
estate, reference should be made to the discussion of such risks and other
factors as included from time to time in the Registrant's filings with the

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

On June 15, 1999, the Company announced the closing of three stores, located in
Mansfield, Akron and Boardman, Ohio. Concurrent with the announcement, the
Company sold the land and building of its Mansfield store and its previously
closed Canton store, for $8,600,000. The Company also assigned its lease in the
West Akron location to the same purchaser of the Canton and Mansfield
properties. The Boardman location, which had a lease commitment through
September 2008 for approximately $600,000 per year, was amended to terminate on
September 30, 1999. The Company paid $414,173 in consideration for the reduced
lease term.

The Company also entered into an Agreement (the Agreement) with a third party to
act as its agent to sell the merchandise inventories located at the closed
stores. The Company will receive a guaranteed amount from the inventory
liquidation based on a formula outlined in the Agreement.

The Company previously announced the closing of its Bedford and Canton, Ohio
locations on November 26, 1998.

PRESS RELEASE

       DIY HOME WAREHOUSE, INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF THREE STORE LOCATIONS

         CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 15, 1999 - D.I.Y. Home Warehouse, Inc. (OTC
BULLETIN BOARD: DIYH) today announced it will close three store locations at
2063 West 4th St., Mansfield; 1890 West Market St., Akron; and 550
Boardman-Poland Rd., Boardman. Liquidation sales at these locations are
scheduled to begin later this week, with closing expected later in the summer.

         The Mansfield store, as well as a previously closed store at 5800
Whipple Ave., North Canton, are being sold to a single buyer. The Boardman store
lease is being terminated and will revert to the Landlord. Also, we are in the
process of assigning the West Market Street location to a third party.

         "Although closing stores never is pleasant or easy, we took advantage
of an opportunity to divest several locations as a package at a price we believe
is favorable to DIY," said Clifford L. Reynolds, president and chief executive
officer. "Proceeds from this sale - as well as from liquidated inventories -
will be used to pay off the company's mortgage and working line of credit
obligations."

         Reynolds noted that DIY's goal has been to become debt-free so it may
have the flexibility and resources to pursue new avenues of growth and expansion
in the future. "The sale of these locations and assignment of its leasehold
interests is a significant step toward achieving this goal," he said.

         D.I.Y. Home Warehouse, Inc. will continue to operate eleven warehouse
format home centers in the Northeast Ohio marketplace which sell products to
do-it-yourself home repair and remodeling customers and contractors.

         The statements contained in this news release may include certain
predictions and projections that may be considered forward-looking statements
under securities law. These statements involve a number of important risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially including,
but not limited to, the performance of the retail and home improvement industry,
as well as other economic, competitive and technological factors involving the
Company's operations, markets, products and prices.
