NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and therefore do not include all of the information or footnotes necessary
for a complete presentation. They should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements included as part of the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 1999 filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's
business, the results of operations for the first three months of the year are
not indicative of the results of operations on an annualized basis.
2. Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock outstanding during the period
(50,854,000 shares for the three months ended May 1, 1999 and 50,449,000
shares for the three months ended May 2, 1998). Diluted net income per
share includes the dilutive effect of stock options (51,332,000 shares for
the three months ended May 1, 1999 and 51,361,000 shares for the three months
ended May 2, 1998). Options to purchase 11,806 and 78,334 shares of common
stock, at a price of $28.81 per share and prices ranging from $21.25
to $22.38 per share, respectively, were outstanding for the quarters ended
May 1, 1999 and May 2,1998, respectively, but were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise
prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares for
the respective fiscal quarter.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
The analysis below takes into account that prior year's balances have been
restated to reflect the discontinued operations of Just Nikki, Inc.
Net sales for the three months ended May 1, 1999 increased approximately 30%
over the comparable period ended May 2, 1998. The increase for the period
resulted primarily from the addition of a net 241 stores and same-store
sales increases of 13% for the quarter. Management believes these same-
store sales increases were achieved due to increased customer traffic, a
strong retail economic environment and the Company's merchandising strategy
of utilizing popular motifs in multiple product categories.
Cost of sales, occupancy and buying expenses increased 30% for the three
months ended May 1, 1999 over the comparable period ended May 2, 1998. The
principal reason for this increase was the rise in the number of stores and
the volume of merchandise sold. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses
were 49.8% for the three months ended May 1, 1999 and the three months ended
May 2, 1998. Due to the same-store sales increase of 13% in the three months
ended May 1, 1999, rent, rent support and the cost of the merchandising
department, which are relatively fixed in nature, decreased 100 basis points
as a percentage of sales compared to the three months ended May 2, 1998. The
cost of merchandise as a percentage of sales increased 100 basis points in
the three months ended May 1, 1999 compared to the same period ended
May 2, 1998. This increase was due to a higher volume of apparel sales to
total sales.
Apparel carries a higher cost to sales ratio than accessories. Also,
additional promotional markdowns were taken in the accessories department to
drive sales and reduce levels of older inventory.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A), as a percentage of sales
for the three months ended May 1, 1999 was 34.6% compared to 35.1% for the
comparable period ended May 2, 1998. This decrease is primarily attributable
to the leveraging of fixed expenses over a larger store base (2,084 stores
at May 1, 1999 compared to 1,843 stores at May 2, 1999) and from the
leveraging of same-store sales increases discussed above.
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of sales was approximately 3.7%
for the three months ended May 1, 1999 which was comparable to the three
months ended May 2, 1998.
Interest income, net of interest expense, totaled $1,634,000 for the three
month period ended May 1, 1999 compared to $1,610,000 for the comparable
period ended May 2, 1998. This slight increase was primarily due to the
increase in the average cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
balance of $141,774,000 during the three months ended May 1, 1999 compared to
$129,327,000 during the same period ended May 2, 1998. The interest income
earned from the additional cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments balance was offset by lower interest rates realized on
investments.
Inflation has not affected the Company as it has generally been able to pass
along inflationary increases in its costs through increased sales prices.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash decreased $6,677,000 for the three months ended May 1, 1999 due to
net cash used for the acquisition of property and equipment totaling $9,906,000,
the payment of dividends of $1,976,000 and a payment of $18,000,000 for the
acquisition of a minority interest in a foreign subsidiary. These cash
expenditures were offset by net cash provided by operating activities of
$12,007,000 and the proceeds from stock options exercised totaling $965,000.
<PAGE>
Inventory at May 1, 1999 increased 7% compared to the inventory balance at the
end of the Company's January 30, 1999 fiscal year. The increase is
attributable to a net increase of 57 stores in the three months ended
May 1, 1999 and the additional merchandise needed to maintain the current
sales momentum.
The Company opened 64 stores in the three months ended May 1, 1999 and
remodeled 43 stores.
At May 2, 1998, the Company had available a $10 million credit line with a
bank to finance the Company's letters of credit and working capital
requirements. This credit facility matures July 31, 1999. The
Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries have credit facilities totaling approximately
$2,225,000 with a bank. The facilities are used for working capital
requirements, letters of credit and various guarantees. These
credit facilities have been arranged in accordance with customary lending
practices in their respective countries of operation. The Company believes
that internally generated funds and borrowings available under its credit
agreements will be sufficient to meet its current operating needs and its
presently anticipated capital expenditures.
Year 2000
In prior years, certain computer programs were written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. These programs were written
without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century and may
experience problems handling dates beyond the year 1999. This could cause
certain computer applications to fail or to create erroneous results unless
corrective measures are taken.
The Company has been executing a plan to identify and address any possible
deficiencies that the Year 2000 issue may have on its computer systems,
which include both proprietary and third party computer systems; related
hardware, software and data and telephone networks and information systems
service providers. This plan addresses the Year 2000 issue in multiple phases
including (i) identification of critical systems, vendors and third party
administrators that may be vulnerable to system failures or processing
errors as a result of Year 2000 issues, (ii) assessment and prioritization of
identified risks associated with the failure to be Year 2000 compliant,
(iii) testing of systems to determine Year 2000 compliance, (iv) remediation
and implementation of systems and equipment, and (v) contingency planning to
assess reasonably likely worst case scenarios. As of May 1999, the Company has
completed phases (i) and (ii), and is approximately 70% complete with phases
(iii) and (iv), referred to above. Phase (v) will be addressed in the
upcoming months. Project plans call for the completion of the solution
implementation phase and testing of those solutions by the end of 1999, prior
to any anticipated impact on the Company's systems.
The Company is dependent on basic public infrastructure, such as
telecommunications and utilities, in order to function normally. Significant
long-term interruptions of this infrastructure could have an adverse effect
on the operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company must rely on
assurances from suppliers and vendors that their information systems and key
services will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company is in the process of
evaluating each major supplier, vendor and third party administrator to
assess their Year 2000 readiness and initiatives. As of May 1999, the Company
is approximately 45% complete with the process and anticipates completion by
the end of 1999. While the Company plans to validate representations from
these parties, it cannot be sure that their tests will be adequate, or that,
if problems are identified, they will be addressed in a timely and
satisfactory manner. Even if the Company, in a timely manner, completes all
of its assessments, implements and tests all remediation plans it believes to
be adequate, and develops contingency plans believed to be adequate, some
problems may not be identified or corrected in time to prevent material
adverse consequences or business interruptions to the Company.
Furthermore, there may be certain third parties such as utilities,
telecommunications companies, or vendors where alternative arrangements or
sources are limited or unavailable. The Company has not yet
determined the extent of contingency planning that may be required as this is
dependent on completion of these ongoing assessments of its vendors,
suppliers and third party administrators.
<PAGE>
The extent and magnitude of the Year 2000 issue is difficult to predict or
quantify for a number of reasons including the lack of control over third
party systems and complexities associated with testing interconnected
systems networks and applications. The Company expects that the maximum
external cost which could be incurred in conjunction with the testing and
remediation of all hardware and software systems and applications is
approximately $350,000 through completion in 1999, of which, approximately
$200,000 has been incurred to date. Such costs have been and will be funded by
the Company's operating cash flows. This estimate of maximum costs does not
include the costs, if any, that might be incurred as a result of Year
2000-related failures that occur despite the Company's implementation of the
Year 2000 plan.
The cost of the Company's plan to address the Year 2000 issue and the
anticipated date on which the Company plans to complete the necessary Year
2000 conversion efforts are based on management's best estimates, which were
derived from numerous assumptions of future events, including the
availability of resources, vendor remediation plans, and other factors.
Although the Company is not currently aware of any material operational
issues associated with preparing its systems for the Year 2000, or material
issues with respect to the adequacy of major vendors', suppliers' or third
party administrators' systems, there can be no assurance, due to the overall
complexity of the Year 2000 issue, that the Company will not
experience material unanticipated negative consequences and/or material
costs caused by undetected errors or defects in such systems or by the
Company's failure to adequately prepare for the results of such errors
or defects, including costs or related litigation, if any. Such
consequences could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The Company and its representatives may from time to time make oral or
written "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"), including any statements
that may be contained in the foregoing "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in this report and in
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports
to stockholders, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs with
respect to future events and future financial performance. These forward-
looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties.
Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements are
set forth in the safe harbor compliance statement for forward-looking
statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 30, 1999, and that statement is hereby incorporated by reference in
this Form 10-Q. The Company does not undertake to update or revise any
forward-looking statement to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of
unanticipated events or changes to operating results over time.

3 SW 129th AVENUE PEMBROKE PINES, FLORIDA 33027 (954) 433-3900
CLAIRE'S STORES REPORTS RECORD SALES AND EARNINGS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER;
SALES UP 30%, EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS UP 32%;
DOUBLE DIGIT SAME STORE SALES GROWTH CONTINUES
PEMBROKE PINES, Florida, May 13, 1999 Claire's Stores, Inc. (NYSE:CLE)
reported today it earned income from continuing operations of $13,800,000 or
$.27 per diluted share for the first quarter of Fiscal 2000, ended May
1, 1999. This amount is 32 percent higher than comparable income from
continuing operations of $10,451,000 or $.20 per share on a diluted basis
reported for the quarter ended May 2, 1998.
Sales were a first quarter record of $170,542,000, a 30 percent
increase over Fiscal 1999 first quarter sales of $131,492,000. Same store
sales were up 13 percent for the quarter.
All figures have been restated to reflect the disposition of Just
Nikki, Inc.
Rowland Schaefer, Claire's chairman and chief executive officer, said.
"We are gratified both by the company's first quarter results and by the
fact that strong sales trends were continuing as the company moved into the
second three months of its fiscal year. It now appears that same store
sales for May will reflect a double digit increase. If that trend continues
for the balance of the quarter, we would expect to exceed analysts'
consensus of $.31 per share for the second quarter by 2-3 cents per share>"
