claims of the creditors of the Registrant and its subsidiaries and preferred
shareholders of the Registrant.  The securities issued pursuant to the Plan were
distributed on the Effective Date.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Standard
Brands Paint Company and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared by the
Company without audit.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 29,
1995 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that
date.  Certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant
accounting policies, normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted.  The Company believes that the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements include all necessary adjustments (which are of a normal
and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation.  The
consolidated results for any interim period may not be indicative of the results
for the entire year.

     It is suggested that the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING:

     On May 16, 1995, the Company completed a financial restructuring (the
"Restructuring") pursuant to which Corimon, S.A.C.A. ("CRM"), a Venezuelan
multinational company, acquired approximately 77% of the outstanding common
shares of the Company for total consideration of $18 million.  As a result of
the conversion of preferred stock, CRM's ownership percentage has decreased to
55% at July 30, 1995.

     The principal elements of the Restructuring were a 1 for 10 reverse stock
split, the acquisition by CRM of shares of newly issued common stock and
preferred stock, the exchange of $16 million of the Company's outstanding debt
for newly issued shares of common stock and preferred stock, the transfer of 15
of the Company's real estate properties to the real estate liquidating trust
established in 1994 and the sale of the Company's residual interest in such
trust to CRM and the Company's prior debt holders.  Share and per share amounts
for all periods presented have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the
reverse stock split undertaken in conjunction with the Restructuring.

     As a result of the Restructuring, the Company's financial position was
improved by an infusion of $16 million of new capital, $5 million under a
working capital facility with a leading U.S. institution which is a major
shareholder of the Company and a reduction in the Company's consolidated
indebtedness by an aggregate of approximately $78.3 million.

     Under the terms of the Restructuring, the terms of the Liquidating Property
Trust were modified.  Sixteen of the Company's operating stores and one of its
warehouse properties which were part of the assets of the Liquidating Property
Trust prior to the Restructuring are currently leased to the Company ("Leased
Properties").  Eight of the Leased Properties and the warehouse property have 10
year leases with two renewal options of two years each.  The other eight Leased
Properties have 18 month leases with no renewal option.  The 15 new properties
transferred to the Liquidating Property Trust as part of the Restructuring are
leased back to the Company for an aggregate rent of approximately $2.8 million
per year (on a triple net basis), adjusted every 30 months.  The properties are
leased for 10 years subject to two renewal options of 5 years each.  Renewal
rent on all of such leased properties will be 95% of market but not less than
the prior rent.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES:

     Inventories consist of the following:

NOTE 4 - SHORT TERM BORROWINGS:

     Subsequent to the filing of the Company's Chapter 11 petitions, the Company
entered into a credit agreement with Foothill Capital Corp. ("Foothill"),
pursuant to which Foothill made available to the Company a senior secured credit
facility in the aggregate principal amount of $12 million.  Pursuant to the
Plan, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with Foothill on June 14,
1993, which provided the Company with a secured line of credit in the amount of
$12.5 million.  Interest under the new credit agreement is equal to the prime
rate of interest plus 2% per annum.  On April 14, 1994 the Company amended its
agreement with Foothill to extend the credit agreement for three additional
years.  The interest rate under the amended agreement is equal to the prime rate
of interest plus 3% per annum.  At July 30, 1995, the prevailing interest rate
per annum was 11.75%.

     At July 30, 1995 and January 29, 1995, short-term borrowing consisted of
amounts outstanding to Foothill of approximately $3.6 million and $3.8 million,
respectively.  In addition, at July 30, 1995 the Company had outstanding letters
of credit of $2.8 million for the State of California's Workers Compensation
program, import purchases and security deposits.

NOTE 5 - SENIOR NOTES:

     On May 16, 1995, under the terms of the Restructuring, the terms of the
Liquidating Property Trust were modified.  As a result the Company's
consolidated indebtedness was reduced by an aggregate of approximately $78.3
million (See Note 2).

     The remaining Insurance Companies' senior notes of approximately $16
million were modified with a maturity of ten years from the Effective Date and
interest payable at 10% per annum, compounded monthly.  Interest only will be
due in years one and two with principal and interest due in years three through
ten based on a fifteen year amortization schedule.  At the end of ten years the
unpaid principal of approximately $8.1 million will be due in full.  The
indebtedness is secured by the existing first trust deeds on 8 of the retained
properties and a security interest on all of the Company's personal property and
equipment (excluding cash, inventory, trademarks, accounts receivable and
rolling stock).

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                       Condition and Results of Operations
                          (Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

INTRODUCTION

     This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, related notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 1995.

     The Company emerged from its reorganization proceedings ("Reorganization
Plan") in June, 1993.  Management believed it would be able to concentrate on
operational activities and pursue the Company's long-term growth and strategic
objectives.  The Company believed that its ability to meet growth and strategic
objectives was contingent upon several factors. Accordingly the Company reduced
the size of its retail paint store chain to a core group of stores concentrating
on selling paint and related merchandise in an effort to increase operating
profits from these remaining core stores  The Company also focused on its
competitive  strengths in paint market share, retail locations, and paint
manufacturing capabilities.  In a multifaceted approach, the Company hoped to
add incremental revenue and profits by: (i) remerchandising its retail paint
stores, (ii) launching new paint products, (iii) increasing sales to outside
retailers (i.e., private labeling), and (iv) reducing general corporate overhead
costs associated with such areas as distribution, warehousing, and management
information systems.

     On March 16, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement ("New Loan
Agreement") with the Insurance Company Lenders and FCI (defined below) and KRI
(defined below) for $10 million of new financing and a plan to restructure the
Company's then existing $103 million Amended Insurance Company Loan and existing
$6 million indebtedness with the grantor trust established pursuant to the
Reorganization Plan ("Grantor Trust").

     Under the terms of the New Loan Agreement, the Company on August 1, 1994
established a Liquidating Property Trust and transferred 78 of its 103 operating
and non-operating real properties with a net book value of approximately $82.7
million in exchange for the assumption by the Liquidating Property Trust of
approximately $68.7 million of existing indebtedness ("Assumed Indebtedness")
owed to the Insurance Companies' (defined below) under the Amended Insurance
Company Loan.  The Company estimated that the book value of the properties to be
sold by the Liquidating Property Trust would exceed the sale proceeds, less
applicable fees, expenses and other costs, by approximately $14.6 million and
reported this loss for the fiscal year ended January 30, 1994.

     Notwithstanding the additional borrowing and trust transactions described
above, the Company was not successful in implementing its growth and strategic
objectives and continued to experience cash flow difficulties.  To successfully
implement its strategic objectives, increase sales and reduce debt, the Company
required significant new sources of capital.

     As of February 15, 1995, the Company entered into a Investment Agreement
and certain other agreements for the financial restructuring of the Company
("Restructuring") with Corimon, S.A.C.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Corimon
Corporation (collectively, "CRM"), Fidelity Capital & Income Fund ("FCI"), Kodak
Retirement Income Plan Trust Fund ("KRI"), Transamerica Life Insurance and
Annuity Company, Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, Sun Life
Insurance Company of America, Anchor National Life Insurance Co. (collectively
"Insurance Companies"), and the Grantor Trust.

     On May 16, 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved the financial
restructuring of the Company at a special meeting.  See the Company's Form 10-K
Annual Report and Proxy Statement related to the special meeting held on May 16,
1995 for a detailed review of the Restructuring and Note 2 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Consolidated sales for the six months and three months ended July 30, 1995
reflect a decrease of $16,527 and $6,767 from the comparative six and three
month periods in the prior fiscal year, respectively.  The decrease in sales was
principally caused by inadequate inventory levels prior to the Restructuring and
overall weak economic conditions in California, the Company's core market.

     Comparable store sales for the six months and three months ended July 30,
1995 of $39,980 and $22,394, respectively, decreased $13,420 or 25.1% and $5,388
or 19.4%, respectively, compared to 1994.

The following is an analysis of comparative year-to-date sales by component:

</TABLE>

     In connection with the adoption of Fresh-Start Reporting, the Company
adopted the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for determining the cost of its
inventories.  The Company's consolidated FIFO gross profit was 35.4% and 36.3%
versus 40.9% and 40.5% for the comparative six and three month periods in the
prior fiscal year, respectively.  The decreased margin resulted in part from
strategic marketing decisions and competitive factors pursuant to which the
Company reduced prices in certain product categories and utilized promotional
markdowns in an attempt to improve customer traffic and to reduce discontinued
merchandise.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $977 and increased
$2,009 for the six and three months ended July 30, 1995, respectively.  The
decrease resulted primarily from the implementation of stringent cost controls
offset by increased advertising activity.  The increase in the three months
ended July 30, 1995 resulted from advertising expenditures of $3,955 compared to
$1,991 in the comparable period during the prior year. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were 53.3% and 60.0% of sales, versus 40.7% and 41.0%
for the comparative six and three month periods in the prior year, respectively.
The increase in the percentage of sales for the six months and three months
ended July 30, 1995 versus 1994 is due to the reduction in sales as previously
discussed, the increased advertising activity and the fixed nature of certain
expenses.

     Depreciation and amortization was $129 and $64 for the six and three months
ended July 30, 1995 versus $1,695 and $834 for the comparable periods in 1994,
respectively.  This decrease was principally due to the transfer of certain real
estate properties to the Liquidating Property Trust in August 1994 and May 1995.

     Interest income reflects amounts earned on cash deposits.  Interest expense
includes accrued amounts on the senior notes, short-term borrowings, as well as
the other debt.  Interest expense for the six months and three months ended July
30, 1995 was $2,603 and $942, versus $5,885 and $2,887 for the comparable
periods in 1994, respectively.  The decrease resulted from the reduction in
consolidated indebtedness under the terms of the Restructuring.

     Other (income) expense, net for the six months and three months ended July
30, 1995 and July 31, 1994 primarily represents the Company's gain(loss) on the
sale of real property during the periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF JULY 30, 1995

     The Company's working capital deficit decreased by $8,458 to ($1,185) from
($9,643) at January 29, 1995.  This decrease was caused by the infusion of
$21,000 in new capital which was partially offset by operating losses incurred
during the period.  See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's capital structure remains highly leveraged despite its
recapitalization and restructuring.

     As of July 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $1.2 million  of
borrowing availability under it $12.5 million working capital facility with
Foothill.

     The Restructuring has improved the Company's liquidity and reduced the
Company's indebtedness.  However, there can be no assurances that the Company
will be successful with any strategic changes to the operations of the Company
as proposed by CRM or that it will be able to improve its sales or reduce its
operating expenses in order to return to profitability. Based on management's
estimates, the Company will need additional capital during the third or fourth
quarter to sustain its operations through the end of the 1995 fiscal year.  CRM
has confirmed to the Company that it will make funds available to the Company,
as necessary, to meet its operating requirements and discharge its obligations
through the end of the 1995 fiscal year.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND
REQUIREMENTS

     The Company's consolidated ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and
preferred stock dividend requirements are shown in the table below.  For
purposes of the following ratios: (i) "earnings" consist of loss before
income taxes plus fixed charges; and (ii) "fixed charges" consist of interest
(including debt amortization) and the estimated interest portion of lease
payments.

     In calculating the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and
preferred stock dividend requirements, the preferred stock dividend requirements
were assumed to be equal to the pretax earnings required to cover such stock
dividend requirements.  The amount of such pretax earnings required to cover
preferred stock dividend requirements was computed using tax rates for the
applicable year.

        4 (b)(c)  MATTERS VOTED UPON

                             Financial Restructuring

        At the Special Meeting of Shareholders held on May 16, 1995, the
        shareholders of the Registrant approved a financial restructuring of
        the Registrant, the principal elements of which were as follows:

               1.   Amendment to the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
                    Incorporation to increase the amount of authorized capital
                    stock of the Registrant, and to effect a 1-for-10 reverse
                    stock split ("Reverse Stock Split") pursuant to which each
                    shareholder was considered to hold one share of the
                    Registrant's post-split share for every ten shares
                    previously held.

               2.   Sale to Corimon Corporation, a United States subsidiary of
                    Corimon, S.A.C.A., a Venezuelan multinational retailer and
                    producer of paint and related products (collectively,
                    "CRM"). of 15,700,496 newly issued shares of the
                    Registrant's common stock ("Common Stock"), constituting
                    approximately 76% of the Registrant's' then-outstanding
                    common stock.

               3.   Exchange of a portion of the Registrant's outstanding debt
                    into 2,242,928 newly issued shares of Common Stock and
                    1,570,049 newly issued shares of 8% cumulative convertible
                    redeemable preferred stock of the Registrant.

               4.   Transfer of 15 real estate properties held by subsidiaries
                    of the Registrant to a grantor trust (the "Trust"), in which
                    the Registrant held a residual interest; release of related
                    long-term debt; and sale of the Registrant's residual
                    interest in the Trust to CRM and to certain senior lenders
                    for an additional $2 million payable by CRM and in
                    consideration of their participation in the Restructuring.
