                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------

To the Plan Administrator of the
   Consolidated Stores Corporation Savings Plan:

   We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN (the Plan) as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan Administrator.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

   In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

   Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
(1) assets held for investment as of December 31, 1993, and (2) reportable
transactions in excess of five percent of the current value of Plan assets for
the year ended December 31, 1993, are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
administrator.  Such  schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic 1993 financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

See notes to financial statements. 3 6 CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PLAN DESCRIPTION - - ---------------- On December 31, 1993 there were approximately 7,000 employees eligible to participate in the Plan. On that date approximately 2,900 were participating. The following brief description of the Consolidated Stores Corporation Savings Plan ("Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information. The purposes of the Plan are to encourage employee savings, to facilitate employee ownership of the Common Stock of Consolidated Stores Corporation, and to provide benefits during the employee's participation in the Plan and upon retirement, death, disability or termination of employment. The administrator of the Plan is Consolidated Stores Corporation Savings Plan Committee ("Committee"). Effective January 15, 1993, State Street Bank and Trust Company was appointed as successor trustee to Merrill Lynch Trust Company. (see TRUST AGREEMENT). All employees of Consolidated Stores Corporation and any of its subsidiaries ("Company") which have adopted the Plan are eligible to participate. Participants must have attained age twenty-one and have completed one year of service prior to eligibility. Eligible employees may begin participation on the January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1, ("Participation Date") coinciding with or next following the date they have met the age and service requirements described above. For any plan year, participants may contribute to the Plan any whole dollar amount not less than 1% of their compensation for such plan year but not more than the lesser of $7,000 (or such larger amount in accordance with Code Section 415(d) which is $8,894 as of January 1, 1993) or 15% of their compensation for the plan year. For 1993 the Company made matching contributions to the Plan on behalf of participants in an amount equal to 100% of the first 1%, 75% of the second 1%, and 50% of the next 4%, of the employee's first 6% contribution. Prior to 1993 matching contributions were in an amount equal to 50% of the employees first 6% contribution. The Company's matching contributions will always be made in the form of Common Stock of the Company. Participants may elect to allocate their elective contribution to any of the Investment Funds (See INVESTMENT PROGRAMS) in increments of 25%. Additionally, this allocation may be revised or investment balances may be transferred by the participant upon notifying participant services by telephone. Each participant shall be fully vested in the Company's matching contributions allocable to their account in the event of retirement or other termination of employment on or after his or her 65th birthday, on account of disability, as defined, or by reason of death. 4 7 CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) PLAN DESCRIPTION - Continued - - ---------------------------- A participant whose employment terminates under circumstances other than those described in the preceding paragraph will be vested in a portion of the Company's matching contribution based on years of service as follows:
Vested Years of Service Percentage -------------------------- ---------- Less than 2 0 At least 2 but less than 3 25 At least 3 but less than 4 50 At least 4 but less than 5 75 5 or more 100
The portion of the Company's matching contribution that is not fully vested will be forfeited at the time employment terminates. The Company has the right to terminate or amend the Plan at any time. In the event of termination, the Plan assets will be distributed to the participants, after payment of any expenses properly chargeable thereto, in proportion to their respective account balances. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - - ------------------------------------------ BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. INVESTMENTS. Investments are reflected in the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits at market value, which is the valuation of the security or interest in an equity fund at year-end as determined by the quoted market price. NET APPRECIATION ON INVESTMENTS. Realized gains and losses are determined on a first-in, first-out basis utilizing a revalued cost which is calculated using beginning of the year market values, or purchase price if acquired during the year. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments is calculated as the market value at the end of the year less the market value at the beginning of the year, or purchase price if acquired during the year. BENEFITS PAYABLE. In 1993, the Plan changed its method of accounting for benefits payable to comply with the 1993 AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Audits of Employee Benefit Plans. The new guidance requires that benefits payable to persons who have withdrawn from participation in a defined contribution plan be disclosed in footnotes to financial statements rather than be recorded as a liability of the Plan. As of December 31, 1993, net assets available for benefits included benefits of $66,425 due to participants who have withdrawn from participants in the Plan. 5 8 CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) TRUST AGREEMENT - - --------------- Under a trust agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company is responsible for investing the participants' contributions in the funds designated by each participant. In addition, the trustee processes and distributes all distributions from the Plan based on information provided by the Company. Administrative fees due under the trust agreement are paid by the Company. INVESTMENT PROGRAMS - - ------------------- During the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, participants could direct their contributions to different funds of the Plan as described below: Money Market Funds - - ------------------ MERRILL LYNCH READY ASSETS TRUST. The Merrill Lynch Ready Assets Trust is a no-load money market fund organized as a Massachusetts business trust seeking preservation of capital, liquidity and the highest possible current income consistent with the foregoing objectives available from investing in a diversified portfolio of short-term money market securities. Portfolio securities principally consist of short-term United States Government securities, Government agency securities, bank money instruments, corporate debt instruments, including commercial paper and variable amount master demand notes, and repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements. In June 1992, this investment alternative was eliminated and replaced by the Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust. MERRILL LYNCH RETIREMENT PRESERVATION TRUST. The Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust (the "RP Trust") is a collective trust fund that invests primarily in Investment Contracts (GICs) and United States Government and United States Government Agency securities. The RP Trust invests a lesser portion of the portfolio in high quality, money market instruments. The RP Trusts primary objective is to achieve high current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity. Dividends are declared and invested daily. Mutual Funds - - ------------ MERRILL LYNCH BASIC VALUE FUND, INC. The Merrill Lynch Basic Value Fund, Inc. (the "BV Fund") is a diversified, open-end, investment company seeking capital appreciation and, secondarily, income by investing in securities, primarily equities, that management of the BV Fund believes are undervalued and therefore represent basic investment value. The BV Fund seeks special opportunities in securities that are selling at a discount either from book values or historical price-earnings ratios, or seem capable of recovering from temporarily out of favor conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on securities which provide an above average dividend return and sell at below average price-earnings ratio. 6 9 CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) INVESTMENT PROGRAMS - CONTINUED - - ------------------------------- Mutual Funds - Continued - - ------------------------ MERRILL LYNCH CAPITAL FUND, INC. The Merrill Lynch Capital Fund, Inc. (the "Capital Fund") seeks to achieve the highest total investment return consistent with prudent risk through a fully managed investment policy utilizing equity, debt and convertible securities. This permits management of the Capital Fund to vary investment policy based on evaluation of changes in economic and market trends. Total investment return is the aggregate of income and capital value changes. Consistent with this policy, the Capital Fund's portfolio may, at any given time, be invested substantially in equity securities, corporate bonds or money market securities. It is the expectation of the Capital Fund's management that, over a longer period, a major portion of the Capital Fund's portfolio will consist of equity securities of larger market capitalization, quality companies. MERRILL LYNCH GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND, INC. The Merrill Lynch Global Allocation Fund, Inc. (the "Global Fund") is a non-diversified mutual fund seeking high total investment return, consistent with prudent risk, through a fully-managed investment policy utilizing United States and foreign equity, debt, and money market instruments, the combination of which will be varied from time to time both with respect to types of securities and markets in response to changing market and economic trends. Total investment return is the aggregate of capital value changes and income. The Global Fund may employ a variety of instruments and techniques to enhance income and to hedge against market and currency risk. Company Stock Fund - - ------------------ CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION STOCK FUND. Contributions are invested in Common Shares of Consolidated Stores Corporation. All employer matching contributions are made to this fund. TAX STATUS - - ---------- The Plan qualifies for special tax treatment under Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Qualification under these sections means the Plan is exempt from Federal income tax. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. 7 10 CONSOLIDATED STORES CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS BY INVESTMENT PROGRAM - - --------------------------------------------------------
