NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Accounting Policies:

The Company's fiscal 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a summary of
significant accounting policies which includes the consolidated financial
statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The same
accounting policies are followed in the preparation of interim reports. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002.

Reclassifications:

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

Recent Pronouncements:

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146
nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146
requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Therefore, SFAS No. 146
eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in EITF
No. 94-3. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective February 3, 2002. Under
SFAS No. 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and other intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives. Instead, the carrying value is evaluated
for impairment on an annual basis. During the quarter ended August 3, 2002,
based on the analysis of an independent appraiser, the Company completed its
assessment of the impairment of goodwill of the Pamida retail segment in
accordance with the guidelines provided by SFAS No. 142. The fair value of the
Pamida retail segment was determined by an independent appraiser based on a
combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and an analysis of market prices
of other retail companies. The fair values of the underlying assets and
liabilities were determined by an independent appraiser using standard valuation
practices, including income capitalization, sales comparisons, market rent
analysis, relief from royalty and replacement cost. As a result of this
assessment, the Company recorded a charge of $186.1 million related to the write
down of all goodwill recorded on the Company's balance sheet. The Company has
received a report from an independent appraiser containing an analysis of
intangible assets with indefinite lives, which primarily consist of a trademark
associated with the Pamida retail segment. No impairment was recorded as a
result of this assessment.

Real Estate Financing:

On March 27, 2002, the Company closed on a $50.0 million private placement
mortgage financing. The loan has a term of 10 years at an interest rate of 11
percent and is secured by 13 ShopKo stores and one distribution center.
Principal payments are based on a 25 year amortization schedule with a balloon
payment due March 2012. Prepayments are permitted subject to certain penalties.
The loan was used to retire lease liabilities associated with closed stores
controlled by affiliates of the lender, to provide additional liquidity, and to
add a layer of longer term debt to the Company's capital structure.

Restructuring Reserve:

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company announced a strategic
reorganization plan to close 23 ShopKo retail stores, a distribution center, and
to downsize its corporate workforce. All stores and the distribution center were
closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The inventory and fixed asset
writedown reserves were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The
Company utilized all of the employee severance reserve prior to fiscal 2002. For
balance sheet reporting the remainder of the reserve for the lease termination,
property carrying and other costs are reported in accrued expenses as a current
liability at August 3, 2002. During the first half of fiscal 2002, seven leases
were terminated. There are 11 remaining properties in the restructuring reserve,
with a $10.6 million reserve for asset writedowns of owned properties and a
$16.3 million reserve for lease terminations and property carrying costs which
are primarily lease payments, taxes, and costs to maintain the properties. The
Company continues to negotiate with landlords and market the closed stores.
However, due to a soft retail real estate market, sales of owned stores and
lease terminations have been slower than anticipated and could negatively impact
the reserve such that additional charges may be required. If sales of owned
stores and lease terminations do not proceed as originally expected, the reserve
is not likely to be totally utilized by the end of the fiscal year. Following is
an analysis of the change in cash payments in the restructuring reserve (in
thousands) during the first half of fiscal 2002:

Business Segment Information:

The Company's reportable segments are based on the Company's strategic business
operating units and include a ShopKo Retail segment and a Pamida Retail segment,
each of which includes the following product categories: hardlines/home,
softlines, and retail health services.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies in the Company's fiscal 2001 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The Company evaluates performance based on operating
earnings of the respective business segments.

The Company's areas of operations are principally in the United States. No major
customer accounted for a significant amount of consolidated revenue during the
first half of fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001.

Statement of Registrant:

The data presented herein is unaudited, but in the opinion of management,
includes all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the
Company and its subsidiaries at August 3, 2002 and August 4, 2001 and the
results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. These
interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of the fiscal
years as a whole because the operations of the Company are highly seasonal. The
fourth fiscal quarter has historically contributed a significant part of the
Company's earnings due to the Christmas selling season.

         * Changes in store sales are exclusive of layaway sales which are
           immaterial.

         ** Changes in comparable store sales are based upon those stores open
            for the entire preceding fiscal year.

         *** ShopKo division reflects sales from 23 locations closed in the
             first quarter of 2001 which were not replaced. Pamida division
             reflects sales from 5 locations closed which were not replaced.

The 1.1 percent increase in the ShopKo comparable store sales during the second
quarter was a result of strong sales in retail health services and increased
promotional sales, partially offset by substantially lower clearance activity.
The 5.2 percent decrease in the Pamida comparable store sales reflected lower
advertised sales partially offset by strong pharmacy sales. The Company believes
the soft retail environment, unseasonable weather and increased competition in
certain of our markets negatively affected sales. The Company expects a
continuation of most of these trends for the rest of the fiscal year.

The 1.9 percent increase in the ShopKo comparable store sales during the first
half of fiscal 2002 was a result of strong sales in retail health services and
advertised sales, partially offset by decreased clearance sales. The 5.3 percent
decrease in the Pamida comparable store sales during the first half of fiscal
2002 was a result of lower advertised sales partially offset by positive sales
in retail health services.

         *    ShopKo store count reflects the 23 closings announced on January

              fiscal 2001.



Gross Margin:

Consolidated gross margin as a percent of net sales for the second quarter was
25.5 percent compared to 23.4 percent for the same period last year.
Consolidated gross margin dollars increased 7.9 percent to $199.5 million for
the same period. ShopKo's gross margin as a percent of net sales was 25.5
percent for the second quarter compared with 23.9 percent for the second quarter
last year. ShopKo's gross margin dollars increased 8.0 percent to $148.9 million
for the same period. The improvement was primarily attributable to the increased
margins on advertised sales and better sell-through of advertised merchandise,
reducing the need for clearance. Pamida's gross margin as a percent of net sales
was 25.2 percent in the second quarter compared with 22.0 percent last year.
Pamida's gross margin dollars increased 7.4 percent to $50.5 million for the
same period. The improvement was primarily attributable to improvements in
merchandise margin rates as well as lower costs of distribution and reduced
shrink expense.

Consolidated gross margin as a percent of net sales for the first half of fiscal
2002 was 25.4 percent compared to 22.9 percent for the same period last year.
Excluding closed stores, the gross margin was 23.7 percent for the same period
last year. ShopKo's gross margin as a percent of net sales for the same period
was 25.7 percent compared to 23.5 percent (24.7 percent excluding closed stores)
for the same period last year. ShopKo's gross margin improvement was a result of
better merchandise margin rates. Pamida's gross margin for the first half of
fiscal 2002 was 24.5 percent compared to 21.1 percent for the same period last
year. Pamida's gross margin improvement was a result of better merchandise
margin rates and reduced distribution and shrink expense, partially offset by
lower vendor allowances. The Company believes that better inventory management
is benefiting gross margin in both divisions.

The Company uses the LIFO method for substantially all inventories. There was no
LIFO charge or credit for the quarters ended August 3, 2002 and August 4, 2001.
If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method had been used, the Company's
inventories would have been $2.9 million, $19.1 million, and $2.9 million higher
at August 3, 2002, August 4, 2001 and February 2, 2002, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net
sales for the second quarter were 20.1 percent compared with 18.1 percent last
year. ShopKo's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net
sales for the second quarter were 18.5 percent compared to 17.2 percent last
year. Pamida's selling, general and administrative expenses for the second
quarter were 20.8 percent of net sales compared to 18.3 percent for the second
quarter last year. The increases at both divisions were primarily attributable
to increases in costs related to employee incentive plans, insurance, and
employee benefits. In addition, at Pamida, the increase as a percent of sales
was also due to lack of sales leverage.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net
sales for the first half of fiscal 2002 were 20.5 percent compared with 18.2
percent last year (18.9 percent excluding ShopKo's closed stores). ShopKo's
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales for the
first half of fiscal 2002 were 18.8 percent compared to 17.0 percent (17.8
percent excluding ShopKo's closed stores) for the same period last year.
Pamida's selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales
were 21.6 percent for the first half of fiscal 2002 compared to 19.7 percent
last year. The increases at both divisions were primarily attributable to
increases in costs related to employee incentive plans, insurance, and employee
benefits, as well as one time expense obligations relating to employment
contracts and severance agreements.


Depreciation and Amortization Expense:

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expenses as a percent of net sales
for the second quarter was 2.6 percent compared to 2.9 percent last year. For
the first half of fiscal 2002, depreciation and amortization expenses as a
percent of net sales was 2.8 percent compared to 3.0 percent for the first half
of fiscal 2001. The decreases for the second quarter and first half of fiscal
2002 are attributable to the Company no longer amortizing goodwill and to a
significant reduction in 2001 assets placed in service compared to prior years.


Interest Expense - Net:

Interest expense for the second quarter decreased 25.5 percent to $12.8 million
and decreased 26.3 percent to $25.9 million for the first half of the fiscal
year when compared to same periods in the prior fiscal year. This decrease is
primarily due to lower debt levels.


Income Taxes:

The Company had an effective tax rate for the second quarter and the first half
of fiscal 2002 of 39.7 percent compared with 40.0 percent for the first quarter
and first half of fiscal 2001.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of
which require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events
and their impact on amounts reported in our financial statements and related
notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty,
the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences
could be material to the financial statements.

Management believes that its application of accounting policies, and the
estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. Management periodically
reevaluates these accounting policies and estimates in the preparation of our
financial statements and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate
a change. We have identified certain critical accounting policies which are
described below.

       Merchandise Inventory. Our merchandise inventory is carried at the lower
of cost or market on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. The valuation of
inventories at cost requires certain management judgments and estimates,
including among others, an assessment of any excess inventory levels, cost
estimates, market value of merchandise inventory, and shrinkage rates. These
assumptions can have a significant impact on current and future operating
results and financial position.


        Restructuring Reserve. In connection with the reorganization plan
announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 to close 23 Shopko retail stores,
a distribution center, and to downsize its corporate workforce, the Company
incurred a pretax charge of $125.0 million, including $67.6 million related to
inventory and property writedowns, $45.8 million related to lease termination
and property carrying costs, and $11.6 million for employee separation and other
costs. The decision to close the facilities was based on management's
determination that the long term future economic cost of continuing to operate
such facilities would be more costly than closing them. The inventory and fixed
asset writedown reserves were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The
Company utilized all of the employee severance reserve prior to fiscal 2002. Of
the 12 properties remaining in the restructuring reserve at the beginning of the
quarter, one was disposed of during the second quarter bringing to seven the
number of properties disposed of during the first half of fiscal 2002.

The amount of the asset writedowns and reserves for lease termination and
property carrying costs are based in part on management's estimates as to the
timing for disposition of, sales proceeds from, and disposition costs of the
closed facilities. The Company's intention has been, and continues to be, to
relieve all obligations associated with the closed facilities. At this time, the
Company believes the reserves are adequate. However, due to a soft retail real
estate market, sales of owned stores and lease terminations have been slower
than anticipated and could negatively impact the reserve such that additional
charges may be required. As a result, the Company continues to evaluate the
adequacy of the amounts reserved as it proceeds with the disposition of the real
estate and termination of the leases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Company's liquidity requirements are met primarily by cash generated from
operations, with remaining funding requirements provided by short-term and
long-term borrowings. Cash provided by operating activities was $82.1 million
for the first half of fiscal 2002 compared to $77.7 million for the same period
last year.

                                       17

As of August 3, 2002, the Company had $267.7 million of Senior Unsecured Notes
outstanding. These Senior Unsecured Notes have maturity dates ranging from
August 2003 to March 2022, with $167.7 million principal amount of the Senior
Unsecured Notes maturing between August 2003 and November 2004. Subject to
certain limitations set forth in our Secured Credit Facility (described below),
proceeds of the Secured Credit Facility or funds from other sources may be used
to retire or repurchase those Senior Unsecured Notes maturing during the term of
the Secured Credit Facility. During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the
Company purchased $5 million in principal amount of the outstanding Senior
Unsecured Notes due in 2004. Payments due under the Senior Unsecured Notes could
be accelerated in the event the Company defaults on any debt obligation in
excess of $25.0 million.

In addition to the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company had $130.9 million of
loans outstanding under its Secured Credit Facility at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $310.0 million outstanding at the end of the
second quarter of fiscal 2001.

The following schedule sets forth the Company's contractual obligations and
commercial commitments as of August 3, 2002 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

         (1) Capital lease obligations represent the total minimum future
             obligations inclusive of interest.

         (2) Operating leases are the aggregate future payments for operating
             leases as of August 3, 2002, excluding closed stores.

The Company has a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit and term loan
facility ("Secured Credit Facility"), which is secured by the Company's
inventory and accounts receivable. The Secured Credit Facility provides for
revolving credit borrowings of up to $500.0 million and a term loan of $100.0
million, both of which bear interest at the bank's base rate plus 0.0% to 0.5%
or the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 2.0% to 2.5% depending on borrowing
availability under the facility and the Company's operating cash flow. The
Secured Credit Facility terminates March 12, 2004 but the facility may be
extended for an additional year at the Company's option subject to certain
conditions. The Secured Credit Facility prohibits the payment of dividends and
repurchases of common stock, limits new indebtedness and capital expenditures
and requires the Company to meet financial performance covenants relating to
borrowing availability and minimum operating cash flows. The consequences of
failing to comply with the various covenants and requirements range from
increasing the interest rate to restrictions on cash management to default and
acceleration of the debt. The indebtedness under the Secured Credit Facility can
be declared immediately due and payable in the event other Company debt in
excess of $10.0 million is accelerated. During the second quarter of fiscal 2002
and after giving effect to the writedown of goodwill pursuant to SFAS No. 142,
the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Secured Credit Facility.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company closed on a $50.0 million
private placement mortgage financing. The loan has a term of 10 years at an
interest rate of 11 percent and is secured by 13 ShopKo stores and one
distribution center. Principal payments are based on a 25 year amortization
schedule with a balloon payment due March 2012. Prepayments are permitted
subject to certain penalties. The loan was used to retire five lease liabilities
associated with closed stores controlled by affiliates of the lender, to provide
additional liquidity, and to add a layer of longer term debt to the Company's
capital structure.

The Company believes that the Secured Credit Facility, and expected cash from
operations together with continued normal vendor credit terms, will provide
sufficient liquidity to finance continuing operations, including planned capital
expenditures. However, if the Company's operating results were to deteriorate
significantly for any reason, or if the Company were to require significant
additional capital for unexpected events, the Company could suffer liquidity
problems which would materially adversely affect its results of operations and
financial condition. Furthermore, as described above, the Company has a
significant amount of debt obligations maturing in the period from August 2003
to November 2004. While the Company believes it will have sufficient liquidity
to retire these debt obligations as they mature, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to retire or refinance these obligations. If the
Company cannot retire or refinance these obligations as they mature, the
Company's results of operations and financial condition will be materially
adversely affected.

The Company spent $7.6 million for the second quarter and $10.5 million for the
first half of fiscal 2002 on capital expenditures compared to $5.6 million on
capital expenditures for the first half of fiscal 2001. The Company's total
capital expenditures for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2003 are anticipated
to be approximately $35.0 - $40.0 million, which is within the restrictions on
capital expenditures in the Secured Credit Facility. The expected expenditures
relate primarily to general maintenance, store remodels (including merchandise
initiatives), and pharmacy business expansion. This amount excludes any capital
that may be utilized for acquisitions of businesses. However, the Company does
not expect to pursue growth of its retail store business through new store
construction or acquisitions in fiscal 2002. Such plans may be reviewed and
revised from time to time in light of changing conditions.

In the second quarter the Board of Directors approved an $80 million capital
expenditure budget for 2003, which will be primarily focused on store remodels
(including new merchandising initiatives), general maintenance, pharmacy
business expansion, and initial development for a 2004 new store opening
program.

Inflation:

Inflation has and is expected to have only a minor effect on the results of
operations of the Company and its internal and external sources of liquidity.
