1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim financial statements of Pet Food Warehouse, Inc. (the
Company) are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been
reflected in the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consisted only of
normal recurring items. Given the timing and number of new store openings,
interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year. The
significant accounting policies and certain financial information which are
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, but which are not required for interim reporting
purposes, have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying financial statements
of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements for the fiscal years ended February 3, 1996 and January 28,
1995 and the notes thereto, included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-KSB.

2.  NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss)
by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding. Common stock equivalents related to stock options are anti-dilutive
for the net losses in the quarter and six months ended July 29, 1995.

3.  DISPOSITION OF STORES

In November 1995, the Company exited the Michigan/Ohio market. Accordingly, the
Company sold certain assets of its eight retail locations in Michigan and Ohio
(MI/OH stores) for $2,426,000 in cash to SuperPetz, Inc. pursuant to an Asset
Purchase Agreement and Addendum.

The disposition of the MI/OH stores and the relative maturity of the stores
involved affect the comparability of results between periods. Had the sale of
the MI/OH stores occurred at the beginning of the quarter and six months ended
July 29, 1995, the selected unaudited pro forma results would have been as
follows (in thousands, except per share data):

4.  NOTES PAYABLE

The Company had a revolving bank line of credit arrangement that provided for
borrowings up to $2.0 million. The line of credit expired May 31, 1996. There
were no amounts outstanding against this credit facility at February 3, 1996.
Effective May 31, 1996, the Company obtained a new three-year credit facility,
which provides for a line equal to the lesser of the Company's borrowing base,
as defined, or $10,000,000. The credit facility will accrue interest on the
outstanding balance at an index rate (30-day high-grade unsecured commercial
paper) plus 3.0% and is collateralized by the Company's inventories,
receivables, investments and general intangibles. The Company will pay a
facility fee of 0.375% per annum. The facility fee will not be applicable on the
committed amount in excess of $5,000,000 until outstanding borrowings exceed
$5,000,000 for the first time and thereafter, such fee will not be applicable on
the committed amount in excess of $7,500,000 until outstanding borrowings exceed
$7,500,000 for the first time. There were no amounts outstanding against this
credit facility at August 3, 1996.




                            PET FOOD WAREHOUSE, INC.
                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL

The Company operated twenty-five (seventeen excluding the MI/OH stores as of
July 29, 1995) warehouse superstores as of August 3, 1996 (second quarter fiscal
1997) and July 29, 1995 (second quarter fiscal 1996). The Company currently
operates twenty-eight stores and plans to operate approximately thirty-three
warehouse superstores in the Upper Midwest by the end of fiscal year 1997.

Comparable store sales, for second quarter fiscal 1997 compared to second
quarter fiscal 1996, increased 1.4%. The Company anticipates that the rate of
comparable store sales growth will remain relatively consistent in future
periods as existing warehouse superstores mature and additional warehouse
superstores are opened in existing markets. Also, impacting comparable store
sales growth is the opening of five stores in the Minneapolis/St. Paul
metropolitan area in first quarter fiscal 1997 by a national superstore
competitor.

The Company's operations are relatively "young" with an average age of the
Company's twenty-five stores of approximately two years. Future operating
results may be adversely affected by costs associated with the opening of a
significant number of new stores over a relatively short period of time. The
Company expects downward pressure on its gross profit and operating profit
margins because certain store level expenses, primarily occupancy and payroll,
are higher as a percentage of sales for new warehouse superstores than for
mature warehouse superstores due to the relatively lower sales of the new
warehouse superstores. Store operating expenses decreased as a percentage of net
sales in second quarter fiscal 1997 primarily due to the disposition of the
underperforming MI/OH market stores in fourth quarter fiscal 1996. Excluding
the MI/OH stores, store operating expenses increased as a percentage of net
sales due to increased saturation and competition primarily in the
Minneapolis/St. Paul market.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 8.4%
(6.7% excluding a one time charge in separation expenses) in the second quarter
of fiscal 1996 to 5.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 as sales growth
outpaced the general and administrative expenses incurred to support the
Company's expansion. Management expects general and administrative expenses will
continue to decrease as a percentage of sales.

The Company charges preopening costs, which are estimated to be approximately
$75,000 to $85,000 for each new warehouse superstore, to expense in the quarter
the warehouse superstore opens. Therefore, the opening of a large number of new
warehouse superstores in a given quarter will adversely affect the Company's
results of operations for that quarter. In addition, although the pet food
supply industry does not experience the same degree of seasonal fluctuations as
many retailers, a mature warehouse superstore's sales are typically higher than
average during the winter and lower than average during the summer. As a result
of the foregoing, period to period comparisons of financial results may not be
meaningful and the results of operations for historical periods may not be
indicative of future results.

The disposition of the MI/OH stores and the relative maturity of the stores
involved affect the comparability of results between periods. Had the sale of
the MI/OH stores occurred at the beginning of the quarter and six months ended
July 29, 1995, the selected unaudited pro forma results would have been as
follows (in thousands, except per share data):

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 1996

NET SALES increased 16.0% (39.6% excluding the MI/OH stores) to $15.7 million
for the quarter ended August 3, 1996 from $13.5 million for the quarter ended
July 29, 1995. The increase is primarily due to the nine warehouse superstores
opened since July 29, 1995, offset by the disposition of eight MI/OH stores in
November 1995 which were opened prior to the end of second quarter fiscal 1996.
In addition, the Company's fiscal 1997 second quarter comparable store sales
increased 1.4%. (Same stores are those stores open twelve months or longer.)

GROSS PROFIT, defined as net sales less cost of sales, including distribution,
purchasing, store occupancy costs and direct grooming payroll, improved as a
percentage of net sales for the quarter ended August 3, 1996 to 26.0% from 22.1%
(24.7% excluding the MI/OH stores) for the quarter ended July 29, 1995. This
improvement reflects increased product margins primarily due to revised
marketing and distribution programs. In addition, store occupancy costs declined
as a percentage of sales as stores continued to mature.

STORE OPERATING EXPENSES decreased as a percentage of net sales to 19.0% for the
quarter ended August 3, 1996 from 20.3% (17.2% excluding the MI/OH stores) for
the quarter ended July 29, 1995. Store operating expenses decreased as a
percentage of net sales in second quarter fiscal 1997 primarily due to the
disposition of the underperforming MI/OH market stores in fourth quarter fiscal
1996. Excluding the MI/OH stores, store operating expenses increased as a
percentage of net sales due to increased saturation and competition primarily in
the Minneapolis/St. Paul market.

PREOPENING EXPENSES were 0.0% of net sales for the quarter ended August 3, 1996
compared to 1.8% of net sales for the quarter ended July 29, 1995. Average
preopening expenses per store for the three stores opened during second quarter
fiscal 1996 was $82,000. The Company did not open any new stores in second
quarter fiscal 1997.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased as a percentage of net sales to
5.3% for the quarter ended August 3, 1996 from 8.4% (10.0% excluding MI/OH
stores) for the quarter ended July 29, 1995. Sales growth outpaced the general
and administrative expenses incurred to build the corporate infrastructure to
support the Company's expansion plans. Included in second quarter fiscal 1996
general and administrative expenses were approximately $242,000 (1.8% of net
sales) for separation expenses associated with the resignation of the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer.

NET INTEREST INCOME was $45,000 for the quarter ended August 3, 1996 compared to
$109,000 for the quarter ended July 29, 1995. The decline is due to the decrease
of available cash and cash equivalents for temporary investment.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES for the quarter ended August 3, 1996 was not recorded
by the Company due to sufficient net operating loss carryforwards available at
February 3, 1996 to offset income tax liabilities. No provision for income taxes
was recorded for the quarter ended July 29, 1995 due to the Company's net
operating loss.

NET INCOME for the quarter ended August 3, 1996 was $308,000 ($0.03 per share)
compared to a net loss of $1,034,000 ($0.11 per share) for the quarter ended
July 29, 1995. The Company's net loss for the quarter ended July 29, 1995,
excluding MI/OH stores, was $217,000 ($0.02 per share).

SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 3, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 29, 1995

NET SALES increased 19.2% (42.9% excluding MI/OH stores) to $31.9 million for
the six months ended August 3, 1996 from $26.8 million for the six months ended
July 29, 1995. The increase is due to comparable store sales growth and the
eight warehouse superstores opened since July 29, 1995, offset by the
disposition of eight MI/OH stores in November 1995 which were opened prior to
the end of second quarter fiscal 1996. The Company's fiscal 1997 comparable
store sales increased 6.9% over fiscal 1996 comparable store sales.

GROSS PROFIT, defined as net sales less cost of sales, including distribution,
purchasing and store occupancy costs, increased as a percentage of net sales for
the six months ended August 3, 1996 to 25.9% from 21.7% (24.0% excluding MI/OH
stores) for the six months ended July 29, 1995. This improvement reflects
increased product margins primarily due to revised marketing and distribution
programs. In addition, store occupancy costs declined as a percentage of sales
as stores continued to mature.

STORE OPERATING EXPENSES decreased as a percentage of net sales to 18.5% for the
six months ended August 3, 1996 from 20.6% (17.8% excluding MI/OH stores) for
the six months ended July 29, 1995. Store operating expenses decreased as a
percentage of net sales in second quarter fiscal 1997 primarily due to the
disposition of the underperforming MI/OH market stores in fourth quarter fiscal
1996. Excluding the MI/OH stores, store operating expenses increased as a
percentage of net sales due to increased saturation and competition primarily in
the Minneapolis/St. Paul market.

PREOPENING EXPENSES decreased as a percentage of net sales to 0.8% for the six
months ended August 3, 1996 from 1.5% for the six months ended July 29, 1995.
Average preopening expenses per store for the three stores opened during the
first six months of fiscal 1997 was $80,000 compared to $80,000 ($77,000
excluding MI/OH stores) for the five stores opened during the first six months
of fiscal 1996.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased as a percentage of net sales to
5.1% for the six months ended August 3, 1996 from 7.2% (8.4% excluding MI/OH
stores) for the six months ended July 29, 1995. Sales growth outpaced the growth
in general and administrative expenses incurred to build the corporate
infrastructure to support the Company's expansion plans. Included in fiscal 1996
general and administrative expenses were approximately $242,000 (0.9% of net
sales) for separation expenses associated with the resignation of the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer.

NET INTEREST INCOME was $111,000 for the six months ended August 3, 1996
compared to $239,000 for the six months ended July 29, 1995. The decline is due
to the decrease of available cash and cash equivalents for temporary investment.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES for the six months ended August 3, 1996 was not
recorded by the Company due to sufficient net operating loss carryforwards
available at February 3, 1996 to offset income tax liabilities. No provision for
income taxes was recorded for the six months ended July 29, 1995 due to the
Company's net operating loss.

NET INCOME for the six months ended August 3, 1996 was $606,000 ($0.06 per
share) compared to a net loss of $1,800,000 ($0.19 per share) for the six months
ended July 29, 1995. The Company's net loss for the six months ended July 29,
1995, excluding MI/OH stores, was $423,000 ($0.04 per share).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Company has financed its operations and growth primarily
through the sale of equity securities. The Company has financed the purchase of
its computer hardware and software systems with capital lease arrangements under
which $424,000 is outstanding at August 3, 1996. The Company's net working
capital at August 3, 1996 was $10.2 million and at February 3, 1996 was $9.5
million.

The Company's primary capital requirement is related to the opening of new
warehouse superstores. All of the Company's existing warehouse superstores are
in leased facilities, and the Company intends to continue to lease, rather than
purchase, new warehouse superstore facilities. The Company estimates the average
expenditures for opening a new warehouse superstore to be $650,000, including an
average of $235,000 for inventory (net of vendor payables), $330,000 for
equipment, fixture and leasehold improvements and $85,000 for preopening
expenses. The Company plans to open an additional five new superstores during
the remainder of fiscal 1997. The success of the Company's remaining fiscal 1997
expansion plans will depend on various business and economic factors.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended August 3,
1996 was $841,000 compared to net cash used for operating activities of
$1,382,000 for the six months ended July 29, 1995. The cash provided by
operating activities for the six months ended August 3, 1996 was primarily from
the Company's operating profits. Cash used was primarily for purchasing
inventory for new store openings. The cash used in operations for the six months
ended July 29, 1995 was primarily for purchasing inventory for new stores, the
funding of the Company's net losses and the timing of payments to vendors.

The Company's primary use of cash for investing activities in the six months of
fiscal 1997 and 1996 related to leasehold improvements and equipment additions,
including computer hardware and software, for warehouse superstore expansion. In
second quarter fiscal 1997, the Company received proceeds of $1,566,000 related
to the sale-leaseback of property and equipment.

The Company had a revolving bank line of credit arrangement that provided for
borrowings up to $2.0 million. The line of credit expired May 31, 1996. There
were no amounts outstanding against this credit facility at February 3, 1996.
Effective May 31, 1996, the Company obtained a new three-year credit facility,
which provides for a line equal to the lesser of the Company's borrowing base,
as defined, or $10,000,000. The credit facility will accrue interest on the
outstanding balance at an index rate (30-day high-grade unsecured commercial
paper) plus 3.0% and is collateralized by the Company's inventories,
receivables, investments and general intangibles. The Company will pay a
facility fee of 0.375% per annum. The facility fee will not be applicable on the
committed amount in excess of $5,000,000 until outstanding borrowings exceed
$5,000,000 for the first time and thereafter, such fee will not be applicable on
the committed amount in excess of $7,500,000 until outstanding borrowings exceed
$7,500,000 for the first time. There were no amounts outstanding against this
credit facility at August 3, 1996.

The Company does not believe that inflation is likely to have a material impact
on its sales or results of operations.
