                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.   The results of the thirteen week period ending May 4, 1996 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The
     Company's business, like the business of retailers in general, is subject
     to seasonal influences. Historically, the Company's fourth fiscal quarter,
     which includes the Christmas selling season, has produced a
     disproportionate amount of the Company's net sales and generally all of its
     income from operations. The Company expects that its business will continue
     to be subject to such seasonal influences.

2.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
     practices consistently applied; and in the opinion of the Company, contain
     all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
     to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for
     the periods reported. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is
     suggested that the accompanying consolidated financial statements be read
     in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto which
     may be found in the Company's 1995 annual report.

3.   The exercise of stock options which have been granted under the Company's
     stock option plans gives rise to compensation which is includable in the
     taxable income of the optionees and deductible by the Company for tax
     purposes upon exercise. Such compensation reflects an increase in the fair
     market value of the Company's Common Stock subsequent to the date of grant.
     For financial reporting purposes, the tax effect of this deduction is
     accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital rather than as a
     reduction of income tax expense. Such exercises resulted in a tax benefit
     to the Company of approximately $130,000 for the thirteen week period
     ending May 4, 1996.

4.   The Company's total current assets were $4.7 million lower on May 4, 1996
     than they were on February 3, 1996. This decrease was primarily a
     reflection of a cash and cash equivalents decrease of $9.8 million
     partially offset by an increase in merchandise inventories of $3.5 million.
     Additionally, receivables decreased $1.2 million while other current assets
     increased $.4 million, and deferred income taxes increased $2.4 million due
     to the Company recording tax benefits resulting from operating losses and
     tax benefits from the exercise of stock options.

5.   The Company's total current liabilities were $.6 million lower on May 4,
     1996 than they were on February 3, 1996.  This decrease results from a $2.4
     million decrease in other current liabilities, primarily offset by a $1.8
     million increase in accounts payable.

6.   The Company's shareholder's equity was $3.3 million lower on May 4, 1996
     than it was on February 3, 1996.  This decrease was a reflection of (1) the
     $3.5 million net loss for the period; and (2) the recording of
     approximately $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options
     and related tax benefits.

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                     of Financial Condition and Results of
           Operations for the Thirteen Week Period Ended May 4, 1996


Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

   For the thirteen week period ended May 4, 1996, net sales increased 23.4%
over comparable periods last year. Comparable store sales for the thirteen week
period increased 12.8%. The sales increase reflects results of opening 12 new
stores subsequent to the first quarter during Fiscal 1995 and one new store
during the first quarter of Fiscal 1996, partially offset by the loss of sales
from closing one store in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996. The total
Brookstone stores open at the end of the thirteen week period ended May 4, 1996
was 144 versus 132 at the end of the comparable period in Fiscal 1995. Mail
order sales increased 21.9% for the same thirteen week period.

   Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales was 26.3% for the thirteen week
period ended May 4, 1996, versus 25.7% for the comparable period last year.
This increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily the
result of leveraging occupancy costs associated with the 23.4% increase in net
sales for the thirteen week period, partially offset by a shift in sales mix to
lower margin products.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
were 46.4% for the thirteen week period ended May 4, 1996 versus 47.0% for the
comparable period last year. The decrease in the percentage is primarily the
result of leveraging payroll and other administrative expenses as the Company
added additional new stores.

   Other income, which represents inventory capitalization, was $485,000 for the
thirteen week period ended May 4, 1996 as compared to other losses related to
inventory capitalization of $239,000 for the comparable period last year.

   Net interest expense for the thirteen week period ended May 4, 1996, was
$75,000 compared to $143,000 during the comparable period last year. This
reduction, is primarily the result of interest income from short term
investments versus comparable periods last year.

   As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss of $3,506,000
or $0.45 per share, for the thirteen week period ended May 4, 1996, as compared
to a net loss of $3,333,000 or $0.44 per share for the comparable period last
year.


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

   The Company uses its revolving credit agreement to finance inventory
purchases which historically peak in the third quarter. At May 4, 1996, the
Company had no short term borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit
agreement, and at April 29, 1995 it had $1,000,000 outstanding.

   The Company believes that available borrowings, cash on hand and anticipated
cash generated from operations will be sufficient to finance planned retail
store openings and other capital requirements through Fiscal 1996.
