REX STORES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

July 31, 1995

Note 1. Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information set forth
therein. Any such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended January 31, 1995.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report
on Form 10-K. While management believes that the procedures followed in the
preparation of interim financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of
some estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations
that will be accomplished at fiscal year end. Examples of such estimates include
changes in the LIFO reserve (based upon the Company's best estimate of inflation
to date) and management bonuses. Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates
during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 3. Equivalent Shares Outstanding

The Company follows the treasury method of calculating common
equivalent shares outstanding. The following summarizes options granted,
exercised and cancelled or expired at July 31, 1995:

($3.25 to $18.975 per share) 1,533,987
---------
</TABLE>
Effective June 2, 1995, shareholders of the Company approved an amendment
and restatement of the Company's 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan, renamed the
1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. Awards under the amended Plan may be made in
the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and cash
incentive awards. The amended Plan also provides for automatic yearly grants of
nonqualified stock options to nonemployee directors of the Company. The maximum
number of shares issuable under the amended Plan was increased from 1,000,000 to
2,000,000 shares.


Note 4. Revolving Line of Credit

Effective July 31, 1995, the Company entered into an amended and
restated revolving credit agreement with seven participating banks/lenders which
expires July 31, 2000. Under the terms of the agreement, available revolving
credit borrowings are equal to the lesser of: (i) $100 million for the months of
January through June and $150 million for the months of July through December or
(ii) the sum of specific percentages of eligible accounts receivable and
eligible inventories. Borrowings available are reduced by any letter of credit
commitments outstanding (see Note 7 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-K). At July 31, 1995, there was approximately $15.1 million outstanding on
the line of credit with additional availability of approximately $78.2 million.

The interest rate on borrowings is at prime or LIBOR plus 1.875% and
commitment fees of 1/4% are payable on the unused portion. Borrowings are
secured by certain fixed assets, accounts receivable and inventories.

The revolving credit agreement contains restrictive covenants which
require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, limit capital
expenditures and limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The Company is
also restricted on paying dividends.

Comparison of Six Months Ended July 31, 1995 and 1994

Net sales in the second quarter ended July 31, 1995 were $96.5 million
compared to $81.1 million in the prior year's comparable period, representing an
increase of $15.3 million or 18.9%. This increase is primarily a result of 34
additional stores in the current year second quarter compared to the prior
year's second quarter, offset by a decline in comparable store merchandise sales
of 6.4% for the quarter. Net sales for the first half of fiscal 1996 were $183.9
million compared to $150.3 million in the first half of fiscal 1995,
representing an increase of $33.6 million or 22.4%. This increase is primarily a
result of 34 additional store locations in the current year as comparable store
merchandise sales declined 3.1% on a year to date basis. The Company considers a
store to be comparable after it has been open six fiscal quarters.

As of July 31, 1995, the Company had 168 stores compared to 134 stores
one year earlier. There were three stores opened and none closed during the
first half of fiscal 1996. In the prior year's first half there were two stores
opened and none closed. The Company anticipates opening 30 to 35 new stores in
fiscal 1996. The Company evaluates the performance of its stores on a continuous
basis and, based on an assessment of factors it deems relevant, will close any
store which is not adequately contributing to Company profitability.

Gross profit of $25.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996
(25.9% of net sales) was 17.9% higher than the $21.2 million gross profit (26.1%
of net sales) recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The lower gross
profit margin is primarily a result of a decline in extended service contract
revenues as a percentage of net sales, which generally have a higher gross
profit margin. In the first half of fiscal 1996 gross profit was $46.8 million
(25.4% of net sales), an 18.3% increase over $39.5 million (26.3% of net sales)
for the first half of fiscal 1995. The lower gross profit margin for the first
half of fiscal 1996 is primarily a result of increased competition in certain
markets, the introduction of personal computers into 94 stores, which have a
lower gross profit margin, and a decline in extended service contract revenues
as a percentage of net sales, which generally have a higher gross profit margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 were $19.8 million (20.6% of net sales), a 12.4% increase over the
$17.6 million (21.7% of net sales) for the second quarter of fiscal 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of fiscal 1996
were $38.5 million (20.9% of net sales), a 13.5% increase over the $33.9 million
(22.6% of net sales) for the first half of fiscal 1995. The






11
increase in expense was primarily  attributable  to higher payroll costs related
to the increased number of stores and increased sales, and higher advertising
and general costs associated with more store locations. The reduction of
selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of net sales was
primarily a result of more efficient advertising for existing stores and lower
occupancy cost as a result of the increased number of owned stores versus leased
stores (39% of the store locations were owned at July 31, 1995 versus 31% at
July 31, 1994).

Income from operations was $5.1 million (5.3% of net sales) in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996, a 45.7% increase over $3.5 million (4.4% of net
sales) for the second quarter of fiscal 1995. Income from operations was $8.3
million (4.5% of net sales) for the first half of fiscal 1996, a 47.6% increase
over $5.6 million (3.7% of net sales) for the first half of fiscal 1995. This
improvement was primarily a result of increased sales volume and lower
advertising and occupancy costs relative to sales.

Interest expense increased to $1.0 million (1.1% of net sales) for the
quarter ended July 31, 1995 from $362,000 (.4% of net sales) for the previous
year's second quarter. Interest expense for the first half of fiscal 1996
increased to $1.7 million (.9% of net sales) from $684,000 (.5% of net sales)
for the first half of fiscal 1995. This increase is primarily a result of
additional mortgage debt of $19.6 million (at an average interest rate of
approximately 9.5%) since July 31, 1994 associated with more Company owned store
locations and additional borrowings on the line of credit for the second quarter
of fiscal 1996.

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 was $2.5 million, a 28.3% increase over $2.0 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 1995. Net income for the first half of fiscal 1996 was $4.1
million, a 31.8% increase over $3.1 million for the first half of fiscal 1995.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $21.0 million for the six
months ended July 31, 1995. The primary use of cash was an increase in inventory
of $41.5 million due to opportunistic buying and purchases for planned store
openings. This increase was partially offset by increased accounts payable of
$17.0 million.

At July 31, 1995, working capital was $80.3 million compared to $78.7
million at January 31, 1995. The ratio of current assets




12
to current  liabilities  was 1.9 to 1 at July 31, 1995,  and 2.4 to 1 at January
31, 1995.

Effective July 31, 1995, the Company entered into an amended and restated
revolving credit agreement with seven participating banks/lenders which expires
July 31, 2000. Under the terms of the agreement, available revolving credit
borrowings are equal to the lesser of: (i) $100 million for the months of
January through June and $150 million for the months of July through December or
(ii) the sum of specific percentages of eligible accounts receivable and
eligible inventories. The Company had outstanding borrowings of $15.1 million on
its revolving line of credit at July 31, 1995 at an interest rate of 8.75%. At
July 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $78.2 million borrowing
availability on the revolving line of credit after reduction for outstanding
letters of credit.

During fiscal 1996, the Company plans to open 30 to 35 REX stores with
anticipated capital expenditures of $16 to $20 million. Capital expenditures for
the first half of fiscal 1996 were $7.9 million and were primarily in-process
store construction costs and the purchase of one existing store location for
$800,000. The Company believes it will be able to obtain long-term mortgage
financing on a site-by-site basis for Company built or Company purchased store
locations as stores are completed.
