                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   For the Three Months ended April 30, 1995
                                  (Unaudited)

Note A
- ------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited (except for
the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 29, 1995) 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 ended April 30, 1995.  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 ended April 30, 1995 are not
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.  

Note B
- ------

In March 1995, the Company purchased Aaron Brothers Holdings, Inc. ("Aaron
Brothers"), which owns a chain of 71 framing and art supplies stores
predominantly in California, for a purchase price of $25 million in cash
including the assumption of $19.7 million of debt.  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 $26.3
million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 40
years.  The results of operations for April 1995 are included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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

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

The Company acquired 71 specialty framing and art supplies stores and opened
15 Michaels stores during the first three months of fiscal 1995.  Capital
expenditures for these stores, and, to a lesser extent, the remodeling and
expansion of existing stores, the opening of a new distribution facility, and
system enhancements, amounted to $11.9 million in the first three months of
fiscal 1995.  The Company expects capital expenditures during the remainder
of fiscal 1995 to approximate $47.0 million, relating primarily to the
opening of new stores and additional systems enhancements.

In March 1995, the Company paid $25 million in cash, including the assumption
and retirement of $19.7 million of debt associated with the acquisition of
Aaron Brothers.

At April 30, 1995 the Company had working capital of $270.1 million, compared
to $232.4 million at January 29, 1995.  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, 1998, are limited to the lesser
of $200 million or the Company's borrowing base (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), in either case minus the aggregate amount of outstanding letters
of credit.  As of April 30, 1995, the Company had $69.1 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 April 30, 1995 compared to the
- -------------------------------------------------
  three months ended May 1, 1994
  ------------------------------
 
Net sales for the three months ended April 30,1995 were $265.5 million, an
increase of $105.7 million or 66.2%, compared to the same period of the prior
year.  The results for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 included sales of 205
Michaels stores (net of 25 closures) that were added during the previous
twelve months, 15 of which were added during the first quarter of fiscal
1995, and 71 Aaron Brothers stores which were included from March 27, 1995. 
Sales of newer stores accounted for $98.1 million of the increase. 
Comparable store sales increased 9% over the same period last year.

Cost of sales and occupancy expense was flat compared to the same period last
year, as a percentage of sales, with a slight decrease in cost of sales being
offset by an increase in occupancy costs, resulting from a high proportion in
the current year of newer and acquired stores having a relatively lower sales
base over which fixed occupancy costs can be spread. The Company expects cost
of sales and occupancy expense for the second quarter of this year to be
higher, as a percentage of sales, than last year's comparable quarter, due to
increased promotional sales activity as well as to an increase in occupancy 
costs. The increased promotional sales activity has been undertaken
partly in response to a general softness in the retail sector. Primarily as
a result of this higher level of promotional activity, the Company expects a
decrease in net income and earnings per share for this year's second quarter
compared to the prior year comparable period, before giving effect to the
$7.1 million store closure and conversion charge reflected in last year's
second quarter results.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by 0.1%, as a
percentage of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to the same
period of the prior year, due to a slight improvement in labor and related
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.

The increase in interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 to $3.3
million from $2.0 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 size of the investment portfolio this year compared to
the prior year period.

The Company's effective tax rate remained static at 38.5%, with a tax
reduction due to investment in tax advantaged securities being offset by the
effect of additional amortization of goodwill, which is not deductible for
tax purposes, related to the Company's fiscal 1994 acquisitions.
