                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
          For the Three Months and Nine Months ended October 30, 1994
                                  (Unaudited)

Note A

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited (except for
the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 30, 1994) and, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position and results of operations for the three
months and nine months ended October 30, 1994.  All of such adjustments are
of a normal and recurring nature.  Because of the seasonal nature of the
Company's business, the results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended October 30, 1994 are not indicative of the results to be
expected for the entire year.  

Note B

In February 1994, the Company acquired Treasure House Stores, Inc. ("THSI"),
a chain of nine arts and crafts stores operating primarily in the Seattle
market, for 280,000 shares of Michaels common stock in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  In April 1994, the Company acquired
the affiliated arts and crafts store chains of Oregon Craft & Floral Supply
Co. ("OCF"), with eight stores located primarily in the Portland, Oregon
area, and H&H Craft & Floral Supply Co. ("H&H"), with eight stores located in
southern California, for a total of 455,000 shares of Michaels common stock
in a transaction accounted for as a purchase.  This transaction resulted in
the Company recording an addition to goodwill in the amount of $22.7 million.

Note C

Effective July 10, 1994, Michaels acquired Leewards Creative Crafts, Inc.
("Leewards"), an arts and crafts retailer with 98 stores located primarily in
the midwestern and northeastern United States.  The acquisition consideration
consisted of $7.9 million in cash and 1,257,279 shares of Michaels common
stock valued at $39.9 million.  Upon consummation of the Leewards
acquisition, Michaels also repaid $39.6 million of Leewards' indebtedness. 
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase; accordingly, the purchase
price has been preliminarily allocated to assets and liabilities based on
estimated values as of the acquisition date.  The cost in excess of the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the
amount of $57.9 million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis
over a period of 40 years.  The results of operations since the acquisition
date are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
<PAGE>

The following pro forma combined net sales, net income and earnings per share
data summarize the results of operations for the nine months ended October
30, 1994 and October 31, 1993 as if Leewards had been acquired as of the
beginning of fiscal 1993.

The pro forma combined financial results do not purport to represent the
results of operations which would have occurred had such transactions been
consummated at the beginning of the period indicated or the Company's results
of operations for any future period.  Anticipated operational efficiencies
from the integration of the acquisition are not fully reflected in the above
pro forma data.

The above pro forma data include adjustments to: eliminate net sales and
related expenses of overlapping Leewards stores that have been closed;
eliminate the duplicate occupancy costs of Leewards' distribution center and
duplicate purchasing costs; amortize goodwill; expense pre-opening costs in
the year incurred; reduce interest expense to Michaels' average borrowing
rate; and reflect the tax effects of the above adjustments.  The pro forma
data for the nine-month period ended October 30, 1994 exclude a $7.1 million
charge ($4.4 million after tax or $.22 per share) for closure or relocation
of approximately ten Michaels stores  (of which six have been closed and one
relocated as of October 30, 1994) that compete with certain acquired
locations, and conversion and training costs associated with the Leewards
acquisition.

The above pro forma data does not include THSI, OCF or H&H prior to their
respective acquisition dates in February 1994 and April 1994, since the
acquisitions are not considered material, individually or in the aggregate,
to the operating results of the Company.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
           Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company acquired 123 stores and opened 61 stores during the first nine
months of fiscal 1994.  Capital expenditures for these stores, and, to a
lesser extent, the remodeling and expansion of existing stores, the expansion
of two distribution facilities, and system enhancements, amounted to $52.0
million in the first nine months of fiscal 1994.  The Company expects capital
expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 1994 to be at least $16 million,
relating primarily to systems enhancements and the opening of new stores in
early fiscal 1995.

In July 1994, the Company paid $7.9 million in cash as part of the total
consideration provided to acquire Leewards, and repaid $39.6 million of
Leewards' outstanding debt.

Also in July 1994, the Company completed a public offering of 2,353,432
shares of Michaels common stock.  The $72.9 million of net proceeds from the
sale were used to reduce outstanding bank debt. 

At October 30, 1994 the Company had working capital of $193.9 million,
compared to $181.8 million at January 30, 1994.  The Company currently has a
bank credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") which includes an unsecured line
of credit and provides for the issuance of letters of credit.  Borrowings
under the Credit Agreement, which expires June 16, 1997, are limited to the
lesser of $150 million or the Company's borrowing base (as defined in the
Credit Agreement), in either case minus the aggregate amount of letters of
credit.  As of October 30, 1994, the Company had $68.3 million in available
unused credit capacity under the Credit Agreement.  Management believes that
the Company has sufficient working capital, cash flow from operating
activities, and available unused credit capacity to sustain current growth
plans.

Three months ended October 30, 1994 compared to the
- ---------------------------------------------------
  three months ended October 31, 1993
  -----------------------------------
 
Net sales for the three months ended October 30, 1994 were $283.1 million, an
increase of $127.3 million or 82%, compared to the same period of the prior
year.  The results for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 included sales of 160
stores (net of 24 closures) that were added during the previous twelve
months, 32 of which were added during the third quarter of fiscal 1994 and 80
Leewards stores which were included from July 10, 1994.  Also included were
liquidation sales of 18 Leewards stores that were closed during the third
quarter.  In the third quarter of fiscal 1994, sales of newer stores (not
included in comparable store sales) accounted for $118.8 million of the
increase.  Comparable store sales chainwide increased 10% over the same
period last year, and 7% for Michaels stores excluding the former Leewards
stores.

Cost of sales and occupancy expense increased by 1.1%, as a percentage of
sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 compared to the same period of
the prior year.  The increase was principally due to higher occupancy costs
on new and acquired lower volume stores, the impact of lower margins on
liquidation sales in 18 Leewards stores which were closed during the quarter,
and a higher level of promotional activity.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by 1.3%, as a
percentage of sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 compared to the same
period of the prior year, due primarily to advertising, corporate and
administrative expenses being spread over a larger revenue base in the
current period.

The increase in interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 to $2.5
million from $1.6 million for the same period a year ago was due primarily to
increased bank borrowings.  The decrease in other income was due principally
to a decline in the average investment portfolio this year compared to the
prior year period.

The slight increase in the Company's effective tax rate was due principally
to the effect of additional amortization of goodwill, which is not deductible
for tax purposes, related to the Company's recent acquisitions.
<PAGE>

Nine months ended October 30, 1994 compared to the
- --------------------------------------------------
  nine months ended October 31, 1993
  ----------------------------------

Net sales for the nine months ended October 30, 1994 were $617.1 million, an
increase of $233.0 million or 61% over the same period of the prior  year. 
The results for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 included sales of 160
stores (net of 24 closures) that were added during the previous twelve
months, 55 of which were added during the first nine months of this year and
80 Leewards stores which were included from July 10, 1994.  In the first nine
months of fiscal 1994, sales of newer stores (not included in comparable
store sales) accounted for $207.5 million of the increase.  Comparable store
sales chainwide increased 9% over the same period last year, and 7% for
Michaels stores excluding the former Leewards stores.


Cost of sales and occupancy expense increased by 0.4%, as a percentage of
sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 compared to the same period
of the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to higher occupancy costs
on new and acquired lower volume stores, the impact of lower margins on
liquidation sales in 18 Leewards stores which were closed, and a higher level
of promotional activity.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by 0.8%, as a
percentage of sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 compared to the
same period of the prior year, due primarily to advertising, corporate and
administrative expenses being spread over a larger revenue base in the
current period.

The $7.1 million ($4.4 million net of tax, or $.22 per share) of store
closure and conversion costs includes a  charge for estimated net costs for
closure or relocation of approximately ten Michaels stores (six of which have
been closed and one relocated) that compete with certain acquired locations,
as well as certain conversion and training costs related to the recently
acquired Leewards stores.

Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 increased to $6.9
million from $4.7 million for the same period a year ago.  The increase was
due primarily to increased bank borrowings.  The decrease in other income was
due principally to a decline in the average investment portfolio this year
compared to the prior year period.

The slight increase in the Company's effective tax rate was due principally
to the effect of additional amortization of goodwill, which is not deductible
for tax purposes, related to the Company's recent acquisitions.
