                 THE ELDER-BEERMAN STORES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
                                   (Unaudited)


1.    Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
      include accounts of The Elder-Beerman Stores Corp. and its wholly-owned
      subsidiaries (the "Company"). All intercompany transactions and balances
      have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all
      adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
      necessary for a fair presentation for all periods presented have been
      made.

      On December 30, 1997, the Company substantially consummated its Third
      Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, dated November 17, 1997, as amended
      (the "Plan"), which was confirmed by an order of the United States
      Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division (the
      "Bankruptcy Court") entered on December 16, 1997. Accordingly, the
      condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the 13 weeks
      ended May 3, 1997, are presented in accordance with American Institute of
      Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial
      Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. The
      reorganization expense for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997 consists of
      professional fees and other bankruptcy related expenses.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company's
      business is seasonal in nature and the results of operations for the
      interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
      fiscal year. It is suggested these condensed consolidated financial
      statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
      notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
      year ended January 31, 1998.

2.    Per Share Amounts

      Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the
      weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options,
      restricted shares, and warrants outstanding represent potential common
      shares and are not included in computing diluted earnings per share as the
      effect would by antidilutive.

3.    Stock-Based Compensation

      During the first quarter of 1998, stock options and restricted shares were
      granted to designated employees under the Company's Equity and Performance
      Incentive Plan. A total of 15,000 stock options with an exercise price of
      $10.89 per share and 135,000 stock options with an exercise price of
      $21.00 per share were granted. These options granted have a maximum term
      of ten years and vest over a period of five years.

      Also, during the first quarter of 1998, 80,000 shares of restricted stock
      were awarded under the Company's Equity and Performance Incentive Plan.
      These shares have a vesting period of three years. The fair value of the
      restricted shares awarded is $1,680 and is being amortized over the
      three-year period.

      Non-employee directors may take all or a portion of their annual base
      retainer fee in the form of a discounted stock option. During the first
      quarter of 1998, a total of 4,722 stock options, with an exercise price of
      $12.375, were granted under this plan. These options become vested on
      January 31, 1999.

4.    Leases

      During the first quarter of 1998 the Company entered into two operating
      lease commitments for retail department store property and leasehold
      improvements. These lease agreements have minimum lease payments in fiscal
      1998 of $2,791 and $3,513 each year from fiscal 1999 through fiscal 2002.

5.    Comprehensive Income

      Effective February 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Adoption of
      this standard had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

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

         Except for historical information, certain statements in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and
Results of Operations are forward looking. These forward looking statements are
based on current expectations that are subject to a number of uncertainties and
risks, and actual results may differ materially. The uncertainties and risks
include, but are not limited to, competitive and other market factors, customer
purchasing behavior, general economic conditions and other facets of the
Company's business operations. The Company undertakes no obligation and does not
intend to update, revise or otherwise publicly release the result of any
revisions to these forward looking statements that may be made to reflect future
events or circumstances.

         The following information should be read in conjunction with the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in Part I, Item
1. The following information should also be read in conjunction with the Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes, and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended
January 31, 1998 as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

         The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the 13 week periods ended May 2, 1998 ("First
Quarter 1998") and May 3, 1997 ("First Quarter 1997"). The Company's fiscal year
ends on the Saturday closest to January 31st. The discussion and analysis that
follows are based upon and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in Part I, Item
1.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         First Quarter 1998 Compared to First Quarter 1997

         Net sales for the First Quarter 1998 increased by 5.8% to $126.7
million from $119.8 million for the First Quarter 1997. The increase is due to a
10.6% comparable store sales increase for the Elder-Beerman department stores,
and a 2.5% comparable store sales increase for the Bee-Gee shoe stores. Better
and moderate women's sportswear, men's clothing and men's sportswear, furniture,
and domestics led the sales increase for the department stores.

         Financing revenue from the Company's private label credit card for the
First Quarter 1998 decreased by 3.5% to $6.5 million from $6.7 million for the
First Quarter 1997. The decline in finance charges due to the reduction in
outstanding customer accounts receivable has been partially offset by an
increase in late fees charged.

         Cost of goods sold, occupancy, and buying expenses increased to 72.5%
of net sales for the First Quarter 1998 from 72.3% of net sales for the First
Quarter 1997. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the buying staff
payroll as a result of being more fully staffed, and an increase in depreciation
due to capital expenditures in 1997.

         Selling, general, and administrative (including key employee
performance bonus plan expense), and hiring and recruiting expenses for new
executives decreased to 29.8% of net sales for the First Quarter 1998 from 31.3%
for the First Quarter 1997. This was due to the leverage of several semi-fixed
costs, most notably service and operations, utilities, and advertising costs.

         Provisions for doubtful accounts increased to 1.2% of net sales for the
First Quarter 1998 from 0.9% for the First Quarter 1997. The increase is
primarily due to the level of delinquent accounts and receivable charge-offs in
previous months.

         Interest expense increased to $2.8 million for the First Quarter 1998
from $1.5 million for the First Quarter 1997. The increase is due to the
required financing to support the payment of the bankruptcy obligations.


 
                                        6

<PAGE>   9



         There was no other income for the First Quarter 1998 compared to an
income of $0.2 million for the First Quarter 1997. The income for First Quarter
1997 was realized from a swap mark-to-market adjustment on the unhedged portion
of swap agreements in place at that time.

         Reorganization costs were zero for the First Quarter 1998 versus $3.4
million for the First Quarter 1997 because of the Company's emergence from
bankruptcy protection in December 1997.

         An income tax benefit was recorded in the First Quarter 1998 at the
estimated statutory rate for federal and state income taxes of 38.5%. An income
tax benefit was not recorded in the First Quarter 1997 because the Company
remained under bankruptcy protection.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's principal sources of funds are cash flow from operations
and borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and Receivable Securitization
Facility (collectively, the "Credit Facilities"). The Company's primary ongoing
cash requirements are to fund debt service, make capital expenditures, and
finance working capital.

         Net cash used in operating activities was $8.6 million for the First
Quarter 1998, compared to $6.8 million for the First Quarter 1997. During the
First Quarter 1998, approximately $6.7 million in payments were made for
professional fees, administration payments, lease cure payments, and other items
that were related to the bankruptcy, which was partially offset by a $2.6
million reduction in pre-tax loss.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million for the First
Quarter 1998, compared to $2.2 million for the First Quarter 1997. The entire
amount for both periods is for capital expenditures for store maintenance and
remodeling, and data processing.

         For the First Quarter 1998, net cash provided by financing activities
was $11.0 million, the same as for the First Quarter 1997.

         The Company believes that it will generate sufficient cash flow from
operations, as supplemented by its available borrowings under the Credit
Facilities, to meet anticipated working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, as well as debt service requirements under the Credit Facilities.

         The Company may from time to time consider acquisitions of department
store assets and companies. Acquisition transactions, if any, are expected to be
financed through a combination of cash on hand from operations and the possible
issuance from time to time of long-term debt or other securities. Depending upon
the conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Company will from
time to time consider the issuance of debt or other securities, or other
possible capital market transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to
refinance current indebtedness or for other corporate purposes.


ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

            NOT APPLICABLE.


                          PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

            The Company is currently involved in several legal proceedings
arising from its normal business activities and reserves have been established
where appropriate. However, no legal proceedings have arisen or become
reportable events during this quarter, and management believes that none of the
remaining legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

            In addition, as a result of the bankruptcy, the Company remains
subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for matters relating to the
consummation of the Plan.
