                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

       The discussion of results of operations that follows is based upon the
Company's consolidated financial statements set forth on pages 4 to 7.  The
discussion of liquidity and capital resources is based upon the Company's
current financial position.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

       On June 17, 1994, at the Company's annual meeting, shareholders approved
the change of the Company's name from Carter Hawley Hale Stores, Inc. to
Broadway Stores, Inc. in order to more closely identify the Company with its
operations.  Accordingly, on June 20, 1994, Company common stock began trading
on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BWY".

       On November 4, 1994, the Company reopened the last of the four stores
which suffered substantial damage in the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake.
The Company maintains earthquake and business interruption insurance with
standard deductible provisions that require the Company to incur an initial
level of costs at each location subject to damage or interruption of business.
In January 1994, the Company established a reserve of $65.4 million to cover
costs of building and fixture repairs, inventory and business interruption
losses, and other costs related to the earthquake.  In addition, the Company
established a receivable of $50.4 million for estimated insurance recoveries.
The reserve has been fully utilized to cover repairs and damaged inventories,
and as of October 29, 1994, $33.8 million has been received in insurance
recoveries. The $15.0 million non-recurring charge recognized in January 1994,
in management's opinion, continues to be adequate to cover earthquake related
losses in excess of estimated insurance proceeds.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Sales for the current quarter and year-to-date periods ended October 29,
1994 were $474.9 million and $1,363.0 million compared to $469.7 million and
$1,387.1 million in the comparable prior year periods.  Current year results
were impacted by the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake and the loss of
sales from the four most severely damaged stores.  On a comparative store basis
sales for the current quarter and year-to-date periods increased 3.9% and 3.2%
over the comparable prior year periods.

       The net losses of $18.4 million and $49.3 million in the current quarter
and year-to-date periods improved from losses of $25.1 million and $77.9 million
in the comparable prior year periods.  Prior year results include a $25.0
million charge in the second quarter for non-recurring costs for the
implementation of expense reduction programs.

       Earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") of $7.1 million and $22.2
million in the current quarter and year-to-date periods compare to losses of
$5.3 million and $21.0 million in the comparable prior year periods.

       Cost of goods sold including buying and occupancy costs improved to
$355.3 million, 74.8% of sales and $1,012.9 million, 74.3% of sales in the
current quarter and year-to-date periods as compared to $360.0 million, 76.7% of
sales and $1,049.8 million,  75.7% of sales in the comparable prior year
periods.  The improvement reflects improving margins.

                                        1

       Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $134.7 million, 28.4%
of sales and $395.0 million, 29.0% of sales in the current quarter and year-to-
date periods compared to $133.8 million, 28.5% of sales and $393.3 million,
28.4% of sales last year.  Savings from cost reduction programs put in place
during fiscal 1993 were largely offset by higher store operating expenses and
promotional costs during the current year period.

       Finance charge revenue increased to $22.2 million, 4.7% of sales, and
$67.1 million, 4.9% of sales in the current quarter and year-to-date periods,
from $18.9 million, 4.0% of sales, and $60.0 million, 4.3% of sales in the
comparable prior year periods.  The improvement reflects earnings on higher
customer receivable balances resulting from an October 1993 change in payment
terms which reduced the minimum monthly payment requirement  on the Company's
short term revolving charge accounts.

       Interest expense increased by $5.7 million to $25.5 million in the third
quarter and increased by $7.7 million to $71.5 million for the current year-to-
date period.  The increase was largely due to rising interest rates in 1994 and
in part due to rising borrowing levels during the third quarter.

       Limitations on the Company's ability to record income tax benefits for
net operating loss carryforwards for financial statement purposes resulted in no
income tax benefit being recognized in the current year.  The income tax benefit
recognized in the first quarter of the prior year was eliminated in the fourth
quarter of that year for similar reasons.

       Due to the seasonal nature of the retail business wherein a significant
portion of sales for the year are generated in the fourth quarter, the Company
follows the practice of allocating certain fixed buying and occupancy costs
among quarters within the fiscal year to match these costs with the associated
seasonal sales revenue.  Operating results, on a pre-tax basis, reflect the
reallocation of such buying and occupancy costs, resulting in benefits of $6.4
million and $19.2 million being reflected in the operating results for the
current quarter and year-to-date periods as compared to $7.5 million and $18.8
million in the comparable prior year periods.

       The seasonal nature of the retail business also results in a significant
portion of the earnings from operations for the year being generated in the
fourth quarter.  Interim operating results are thus not necessarily indicative
of earnings from operations that will be realized for the full fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       LIQUIDITY.  On September 13, 1994 the Company finalized a private
placement of subordinated asset backed notes (the "Asset Backed Notes")
totalling $64.0 million.  The Asset Backed Notes were issued in two classes:
$38.0 million of 7.55% Class A notes due 1999 (rated BBB by Standard and Poors
and Fitch Investors Service) and $26.0 million of 11.00% Class B notes due 1999
(rated BB by Standard and Poors and Fitch Investors Service).  Proceeds of the
notes are being used to increase the Company's liquidity.  Concurrently, the
Company finalized changes to its $800.0 million credit and receivables
facilities.  The amendments extended the maturity date of the agreements from
October 1995 to October 1996 and enhanced certain credit facility provisions.

       Subject to collateral limitations, the facilities, as currently stated,
provide for up to $225.0 million in credit financing and up to $575.0 million in
financing for the Company's proprietary credit card receivables portfolio.  As
of October 29, 1994, there were $41.9 million in advances and $50.6 million in
letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility, $425.0 million of
borrowings under the receivables facility and $64.0 million of Asset Backed
Notes outstanding.  Under these notes and facilities, $132.5 million remained
available for borrowing.

                                        2
<PAGE>

       The credit facility contains a number of operating and financial
covenants, as well as significant negative covenants including covenants for
material adverse changes, minimum aggregate net cash flow and earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA").  In addition, the
credit facility prohibits the Company from paying dividends on its stock and
places limitations on inventory levels and capital expenditure amounts.  During
the first quarter of the current year,  the financial covenants were relaxed by
an amendment to the credit facility which took into account the enhanced
liquidity provided by proceeds of $137.9 million from the December 1993 issuance
of 6.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes.  Further covenant changes to
enhance flexibility were finalized concurrent with the issuance of $64.0 million
in Asset Backed Notes.  The Company is currently in compliance with all
covenants under the credit facility.  As of October 29, 1994, cash flow and
EBITDA levels both exceeded covenant requirements by $34.2 million.  In
addition, the Company's net inventory ratio at October 29, 1994 was 72.1% or
5.0% less than the maximum permitted under the credit facility and year-to-date
capital expenditures amounted to $75.8 million compared to the $110.0 million
maximum allowable for fiscal 1994.  The credit agreement and the Company's
agreements with its other principal secured creditors contain additional
covenants and requirements, all of which the Company is in compliance with.

       A substantial portion of the Company's debt is at variable interest
rates.  Assuming that the average borrowings and all other variables would have
remained constant, an increase (or decrease) of one percent in the interest
rates applicable to the variable rate portion of the Company's debt would have
increased (or decreased) the Company's interest expense by approximately $1.3
million and $3.4 million for the current quarter and year-to-date periods
respectively.

       CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.  The Company's business strategy includes a store
remodeling program designed to increase selling space within existing stores and
to make more productive use of existing selling space.  Capital expenditures for
the current year, excluding costs for earthquake repairs, are projected at
approximately $110 million and have been largely concentrated on the remodel
program.  Substantially all major projects were completed prior to the start of
the holiday selling season.

       The capital expenditure program may be modified over time to accommodate
market factors and the Company's then existing financial condition.  In
addition, from time to time the Company may consider proposals to close existing
stores or open new stores.

       The Company's ability to fund future capital expenditure programs and
implement new business strategies will depend on cash flow from operations and
the continued availability of borrowings under the credit facility.  Operating
cash flow will be affected by, among other things, the timing of results from
the Company's business strategy, sales during the holiday season, and general
competitive and economic conditions.  The Company believes that the operating
cash flow and amounts available under the credit facility will be sufficient to
fund the major elements of its business strategy.  However, the Company
continuously evaluates increasing or decreasing the number of stores, the terms
of its credit and receivables facilities and other operating and financing
alternatives.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


BASIS OF REPORTING

       The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
should be read in the context of the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
and Financial Review contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fifty-two week period ended January 29, 1994.  In the opinion of the
Company's management, these statements contain all adjustments, all of which are
of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the amounts shown to be fairly
stated as of October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993 and for the thirteen and
thirty-nine week periods then ended.  The Balance Sheet as of January 29, 1994
is as included in the Company's Form 10-K report for the year ended January 29,
1994.

EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

       Earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period, including dilutive stock options
and all 35.0 million shares of Common Stock expected to be issued in accordance
with the plan of reorganization (the "POR") approved in connection with the
Company's emergence from bankruptcy on October 8, 1992 (the "Emergence Date").
As of October 29, 1994, 1.1 million shares of common stock remain to be issued
in accordance with the POR.

INVENTORIES

       The last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of accounting resulted in charges
to cost of goods sold of $.5 million and $1.5 million for the thirteen and
thirty-nine week periods ended October 29, 1994 and in the comparative prior
year periods.  If all inventories had been valued on a first-in, first-out
basis, they would have been lower by $9.3 million, $10.8 million and $.4 million
at October 29, 1994, January 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993 respectively.
