                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                For the Three and Six Months ended July 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
and six months ended July 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 and six months ended     
July 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 owned a chain of 71 framing and art supplies stores
predominantly in California (the "Aaron Brothers Stores"), 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 from April 1995 forward
are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note C
------

Certain fiscal 1994 balances included in the consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 1995 presentation.

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

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

The Company acquired 71 Aaron Brothers Stores and opened  36 Michaels stores
during the first six 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 $30.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 1995.  The
Company expects capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 1995 to
approximate $30.0 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 July 30, 1995 the Company had working capital of $241.7 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.  As of July 30,
1995, the Company had $20.0 million in available unused credit capacity under
the Credit Agreement.  Effective September 1, 1995, the Credit Agreement was
amended to, among other things, modify certain covenants to exclude the
second quarter effect of unusual costs associated with the retail markdown
of inventory which will be eliminated as part of an inventory reduction
program.

Management has made a strategic decision to reduce the number of product
stock keeping units ("SKUs") typically carried in the Michaels inventory
assortment by embarking on an aggressive promotional and markdown program. 
The proceeds from this inventory reduction program will be used to pay down
bank debt.

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 July 30, 1995 compared to the
------------------------------------------------  
  three months ended July 31, 1994
  --------------------------------

Net sales for the three months ended July 30, 1995 were $259.9 million, an
increase of $85.7 million, or 49.2%, compared to the same period of the prior
year.  The results for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 included sales of 68
Michaels stores that were added during the previous twelve months, 21 of
which were added during the second quarter of fiscal 1995, and 69 (net of two
closures) Aaron Brothers Stores which were included since April 1995.  Sales
of newer stores accounted for $75.8 million of the increase.  Comparable
store sales increased 9% over the same period last year.

Cost of sales and occupancy expense increased by 24.7% compared to the same
period last year, as a percentage of sales, principally due to $57.5 million
of unusual costs associated with the retail markdown of inventory, initiated
as a result of the Company's strategic decision to reduce the number of 
product SKUs typically carried in the Michaels inventory assortment.
Management believes that its efforts to reduce the overall SKU base will 
result in a more efficient deployment of capital going forward. Excluding
the inventory charge, cost of sales and occupancy expense increased 2.6%,
as a percentage of sales, compared to last year's comparable period. The
increase was due principally to higher promotional sales than a year ago,
as a percentage of sales. Also contributing to the increase was higher  
occupancy expense, as a percentage of sales, due to a higher proportion
in the current year of newer and acquired stores having a relatively low
sales base over which fixed occupancy costs can be spread.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 2.3%, as a
percentage of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to the
same period of the prior year, due principally to a charge taken to cover
certain retirement costs of the Company's former President and Chief
Operating Officer and costs related to the inventory reduction program. 

The increase in interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 to
$4.5 million from $2.4 million for the same period a year ago was due
primarily to increased bank borrowings to finance inventory growth.  The
increase in other expense over other income was due principally to losses
recognized in liquidating the investment portfolio this year compared to
investment income recorded in the prior year period.

Six months ended July 30, 1995 compared to the
----------------------------------------------  
  six months ended July 31, 1994

Net sales for the six months ended July 30, 1995 were $525.5 million, an
increase of $191.5 million, or 57.3%, compared to the same period of the
prior year.  The results for the six months of fiscal 1995 included sales of
68 Michaels stores that were added during the previous twelve months, 36 of
which were added during fiscal 1995, and 69 (net of two closures) Aaron
Brothers Stores which were included since April 1995. Sales of newer stores
accounted for $173.9 million of the increase.  Comparable store sales
increased 9% over the same period last year.

Cost of sales and occupancy  expense increased by 12.2% compared to the same
period last year, as a percentage of sales, principally due to $57.5 million
of unusual costs associated with the retail markdown of inventory, initiated
as a result of the Company's strategic decision to reduce the number of
product SKUs typically carried in the Michaels inventory assortment. Management
believes that its efforts to reduce the overall SKU base will result in a more 
efficient deployment of capital going forward. Excluding the inventory charge, 
the cost of sales and occupancy expense increased 1.3%, as a percentage of 
sales, compared to last year's comparable period. The increase was due
principally to higher promotional sales than a year ago, as a percentage of
sales. Also contributing to the increase was higher occupancy expense, as a
percentage of sales, due to a higher proportion in the current year of newer
and acquired stores having a relatively low sales base over which fixed
occupancy costs can be spread.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 1.0%, as a
percentage of sales, for the first six months of fiscal 1995 compared to the
same period of the prior year, due principally to a charge taken to cover
certain retirement costs of the Company's former President and Chief
Operating Officer and costs related to the inventory reduction program.

The increase in interest expense for the first six months of fiscal 1995 to
$7.9 million from $4.4  million for the same period a year ago was due
primarily to increased bank borrowings to finance inventory growth.  The
increase in other expense over other income was due principally to losses
recognized in liquidating the investment portfolio this year compared to
investment income recorded in the prior year period.

                          Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings 

     On August 28, 1995, two lawsuits were filed against Michaels and certain
of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the "Class Action Suits").  Each
of the Class Action Suits is purportedly a class action lawsuit on behalf of
Michaels' stockholders alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act"), Rule 10b-5
under the Exchange Act and related common law.  The alleged factual basis
underlying the Class Action Suits and the relief sought therein is the
plaintiffs' allegations that Michaels and the individual defendants
misrepresented or failed to disclose material information concerning the
financial condition of Michaels, its operations and prospects and that the
value of Michaels Common Stock was artificially inflated as a result of such
misrepresentations or failures to disclose.  Each of the Class Action Suits
seeks compensatory damages and reimbursement for the plaintiffs' fees and
expenses.  The Company believes the Class Action Suits are without merit and
intends to vigorously defend this litigation.
