              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of Footstar, Inc. (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of June 30, 2001, the results of operations for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000,
respectively, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and July 1,
2000, respectively. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Because of the seasonality of the specialty retailing business,
operating results of the Company on a quarterly basis may not be indicative of
operating results for the full year or any other period. The consolidated
financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company's 2000
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Acquisition of J. Baker


Effective as of February 4, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the
footwear assets of J. Baker, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The business operated
1,163 licensed footwear departments under 13 agreements with retail chains
including Ames, Roses, Stein Mart and Spiegel. Assets purchased by the Company
included inventory, store fixtures, intellectual property and license
agreements. The cash consideration paid for the assets was approximately $59.0
million.


The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
for business combinations. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
include the results of operations of J. Baker from the acquisition date. The
results of operations generated from the assets acquired are reported as part of
the Company's Meldisco segment. Based on purchase price allocations, the excess
of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired
amounting to approximately $16.6 million was recorded as goodwill and is being
amortized over 15 years. Adjustments to the purchase price during the second
quarter resulted principally from the appraisals of license agreements performed
subsequent to the purchase. Additional adjustments to the purchase price
allocation may result from the completion of an appraisal of the acquired
assets, which is currently in progress.

3. Segment Information

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS No. 131"), requires that public
business enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders. Under SFAS No. 131, the newly
acquired J. Baker licensed footwear departments and the Meldisco licensed
footwear departments represent operating segments that have been aggregated into
the reporting segment called "Meldisco" for financial reporting purposes. The
assets of the two athletic footwear and apparel chains, Footaction and Just For
Feet have been aggregated into the reporting segment called "athletic" for
reporting purposes.

4. Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income ("SFAS No.130") requires that items defined as other comprehensive
income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, be separately
classified in the financial statements and that the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income be reported separately from retained earnings and
additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet.
Comprehensive income for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2001
and July 1, 2000 contain no other components of comprehensive income other than
net income. Comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001
and July 1, 2000 was $16.1 million and $15.4 million, respectively.
Comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1,
2000 was $12.0 million and $18.2 million, respectively.

9. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and
Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 141 requires
that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies criteria that
intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet
to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement 142 requires that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that
intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for
impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.


The Company is required to adopt the provisions of Statement 141 immediately,
except with regard to business combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001 and
to adopt Statement 142 effective the first day of fiscal 2002. Furthermore, any
goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life
that are acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30,
2001 will not be amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for impairment in
accordance with the appropriate accounting literature. Goodwill and intangible
assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will
continue to be amortized prior to the adoption of Statement 142.

Statement 141 requires that, upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company
evaluate existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in a
purchase business combination effective prior to June 30, 2001, and to make any
necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in
Statement 141. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company will be required to
reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired
in purchase business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period
adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. In addition,
to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful
life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment
in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142 within the first interim
period. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and
recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
first interim period.

In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, Statement
142 requires the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an
indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish
this the Company must identify its reporting units and determine the carrying
value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including
the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the
date of adoption. The Company will then have up to six months from the date of
adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit

                     ($ in millions, except per share data)


and compare it to the reporting unit's carrying amount. To the extent a
reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists
that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform
the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the
Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill,
determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of it assets
(recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase
price allocation in accordance with Statement 141, to its carrying amount, both
of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is
required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the
year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company's statement
of operations.


As of the date of adoption, the Company expects to have unamortized goodwill in
the amount of $35.5 million and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in
the amount of $25.2 million, both of which will be subject to the transition
provisions of Statements 141 and 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill
was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2000 and the
six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. Because of the extensive effort
needed to comply with adopting Statements 141 and 142, it is not practicable to
reasonably estimate the impact of adopting these Statements on the Company's
financial statements at the date of this report, including whether any
transitional impairment losses will be required to be recognized as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

                       Independent Auditors' Review Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Footstar, Inc.

We have reviewed the consolidated condensed balance sheet of Footstar, Inc. and
subsidiary companies as of June 30, 2001 and the related consolidated condensed
statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively and condensed cash flows for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively. These
consolidated condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated condensed financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Footstar, Inc. and subsidiary
companies as of December 30, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for
the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 12,
2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 30, 2000 is fairly stated,
in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

                                                                    /S/ KPMG LLP

Note: (1) Same store sales do not include J. Baker sales since the acquired
      stores have not been operated by the Company for twelve months.

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001, were $649.0
million, an increase of 10.1% from net sales of $589.4 million for the same
period of 2000. Same store sales for the three-month period decreased 1.3%
compared to the year-ago period. Total sales for Meldisco increased 14.8% to
$410.0 million, due to the addition of sales from the J. Baker businesses.
Meldisco's same store sales percentage (which does not include sales of the
newly acquired J. Baker stores) decreased 2.0%. The decrease is attributable to
difficult comparisons with sales in an unseasonably warm second quarter in 2000.
In the athletic segment total sales increased 2.9% to $239.0 million and same
store sales declined 0.1%. Weak sales of apparel and running shoes at Footaction
contributed to the decline.

million, an increase of 13.3% from net sales of $1029.1 million for the same
period of 2000. Same store sales for the six-month period decreased 2.5%
compared to the year-ago period. Total sales for Meldisco increased 8.7% to
$686.6 million and same store sales at Meldisco (which do not include the newly
acquired J. Baker business) decreased 5.0%. Depleted winter boot inventories in
the first quarter and cold weather during the spring-selling season negatively
impacted Meldisco's same store sales. Total sales for the athletic segment
increased 20.6% to $479.5 million, due to the addition of Just For Feet. Same
store sales increased 1.6% for the athletic segment; this comparison percentage
includes Just For Feet sales beginning with sales of April 2001 after which the
acquired stores had been operated by the company for twelve months.

Cost of Sales


Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2001, as a percent of net sales,
increased 90 basis points from the corresponding prior-year period primarily due
to substantially lower gross margins in the athletic segment. In the Meldisco
segment, margins were slightly below last year; improved margins in the core
Kmart business were offset by lower margins at the newly acquired business, as
inventory on hand at the time of the acquisition was cleared to make room for
new assortments.


Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as a percent of net sales,
increased 80 basis points from the same comparable 2000 period mainly due to
increased markdowns in the athletic segment in a highly promotional environment.

Store Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Second quarter 2001 store operating, selling, general and administrative
("SG&A") expenses, as a percent of net sales, decreased 40 basis points from
the same year-ago period as expenses were better leveraged at both Meldisco and
the athletic segment. Second quarter SG&A expenses were $10.3 million greater
than in the second quarter of 2000 due to the added operating cost of the
acquired J. Baker business, one-time J. Baker transition-related expenses, and
operating costs associated with the eleven Just For Feet stores opened within
the past year.

Store operating, selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, as a percent of net sales, increased 50 basis points from
the corresponding prior-year period due to additional sales promotion expenses
at Just For Feet during the first quarter and higher expenses at Meldisco
resulting from the acquisition of the J. Baker business.

Note: (1) percentages represent percent of net sales of the respective entities.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 operating profit as a percent of
net sales decreased 50 basis points versus the same period of 2000. Meldisco's
operating profit as a percent of net sales decreased by 50 basis points due to
the transition expenses related to the J. Baker acquisition. Operating profit at
the athletic segment for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 decreased 140
basis points compared to the prior-year period due to additional markdowns taken
in a heavily promotional athletic market.


For the six months ended June 30, 2001 operating profit as a percent of net
sales declined 130 basis points versus the same year-ago period. Meldisco's
operating profit as a percent of net sales decreased 80 basis points due to
adverse weather conditions and acquisition-related transition expenses. For the
first two quarters of 2001 versus the same period in 2000 operating profit at
the athletic segment declined 180 basis points. The product recall of the
exclusive Nike running shoe, the Trunner, announced in March 2001, negatively
impacted sales. The effect of the recall, plus increased markdowns at Footaction
and high markdowns at Just For Feet to clear excess fourth quarter 2000 apparel
inventories, resulted in lowered operating profits in the athletic segment.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and
Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 141 requires
that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies criteria that
intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet
to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement 142 requires that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that
intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for
impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.

The Company is required to adopt the provisions of Statement 141 immediately,
except with regard to business combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001 and
to adopt Statement 142 effective the first day of fiscal 2002. Furthermore, any
goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life
that are acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30,
2001 will not be amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for impairment in
accordance with the appropriate accounting literature. Goodwill and intangible
assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will
continue to be amortized prior to the adoption of Statement 142.

Statement 141 requires that, upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company
evaluate existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in a
purchase business combination effective prior to June 30, 2001, and to make any
necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in
Statement 141. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company will be required to
reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired
in purchase business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period
adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. In addition,
to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful
life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment
in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142 within the first interim
period. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and
recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
first interim period.

In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, Statement
142 requires the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an
indication that goodwill is


                                       18

                                   (Unaudited)

impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this the Company must
identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting
unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill
and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The
Company will then have up to six months from the date of adoption to determine
the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit's
carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its
fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be
impaired and the Company must perform the second step of the transitional
impairment test. In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair
value of the reporting unit's goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting
unit's fair value to all of it assets (recognized and unrecognized) and
liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance
with Statement 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as
of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as
possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional
impairment loss will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle in the Company's statement of operations.

As of the date of adoption, the Company expects to have unamortized goodwill in
the amount of $35.5 million and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in
the amount of $25.2 million, both of which will be subject to the transition
provisions of Statements 141 and 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill
was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2000 and the
six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. Because of the extensive effort
needed to comply with adopting Statements 141 and 142, it is not practicable to
reasonably estimate the impact of adopting these Statements on the Company's
financial statements at the date of this report, including whether any
transitional impairment losses will be required to be recognized as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company's inventories at the end of the second quarter increased by
approximately 24% versus the same quarter of 2000. The increase is attributable
to depressed post-acquisition inventory levels at Just For Feet last year and
the acquisition of the J. Baker inventories in the first quarter of 2001.

In addition to inventories, the majority of the J. Baker acquired assets
represent store fixtures, which have been classified within property and
equipment and intellectual property, license agreements and goodwill classified
within goodwill, deferred charges and other noncurrent assets.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $234.7 million in borrowings, classified as
long-term debt. Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was
$8.6 million compared to $3.1 million for the same period of 2000. This increase
was the result of the borrowings associated with the Company's acquisitions,

stock the J. Baker and Just for Feet businesses and the purchase of the
Company's former headquarters building in Mahwah, New Jersey. As of August 2001
the Company's headquarters moved to leased office space in West Nyack, New York
and Meldisco's corporate offices remained in the aforementioned building in
Mahwah.


The Company has a $325 million 3-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate
of banks led by Fleet National Bank, which was effective May 25, 2000
(collectively, with all amendments the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility
contains various operating covenants, which, among other things, impose certain
limitations on the Company's ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, merge,
consolidate, make capital expenditures or declare and make dividend payments.
Under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with financial
covenants relating to debt and interest coverage. At the end of the quarter, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Company's businesses are seasonal in nature and, therefore, impacted by
weather conditions. Peak selling periods coincide with Christmas, the Easter
holiday and the back-to-school selling seasons. Working capital requirements
vary with seasonal business volume and inventory buildups, which occur prior to
the peak periods. The Company expects that its current cash, together with cash
generated from operations and credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund its
expected operating expenses, working capital needs, capital expenditures and
projected growth for the foreseeable future. The Company believes its current
borrowing capacity will allow it to take advantage of new growth and investment
opportunities.

The Company expects that it will retain all available funds for the operation
and expansion of its business, and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends
to shareholders in the foreseeable future. Under its arrangement with Kmart,
Meldisco will distribute annually to Kmart, a portion of profits representing
Kmart's minority interest in Meldisco subsidiaries. At the beginning of the
second fiscal quarter, the Company distributed $51.8 million representing
Kmart's normal dividend for its minority interest in net income for fiscal year
2000.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $20.7 million.
Total capital expenditures for the entire 2001 fiscal year are estimated to be
between $80 to $85 million and are expected to involve projects that will
improve asset productivity into the future including upgrading the point of sale
and back office systems in the athletic segment, improving the allocation and
replenishment applications in both the athletic and Meldisco segments, and
expanding the Mira Loma, California cross-docking distribution center.
