                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  MAY 26, 1996



1)       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, except for the February 25,
1996 consolidated balance sheet, have been prepared without audit. In the
opinion of Management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the financial position of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of May 26, 1996 and February 25, 1996 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended May
26, 1996 and May 28, 1995, respectively. Because of the seasonality of the
specialty retailing business, operating results of the Company on a quarterly
basis may not be indicative of operating results for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in
accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and consequently do not include
all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles. Reference should be made to Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.'s Annual Report
for the fiscal year ended February 25, 1996 for additional disclosures,
including a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies and related
matters.


2)       STOCK SPLIT

On March 28, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a two-for-one
split of the Company's common stock effected in the form of a 100% stock
dividend. The stock split was distributed on April 30, 1996 to shareholders of
record on April 10, 1996. Accordingly, all share and per share data have been
adjusted to give effect to the stock split.

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months May 26, 1996 vs. Three Months May 28, 1995

Net sales for the first quarter ended May 26, 1996 were $159.7 million, an
increase of $46.2 million or approximately 40.7% over net sales of $113.5
million for the corresponding quarter last year. Approximately 81.3% of the
increase was attributable to new store net sales. The increase in comparable
store net sales in the first quarter of 1996 was 8.0%.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 1996 was $65.8 million or 41.2% of net
sales compared with $46.9 million or 41.3% of net sales during the first quarter
of 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $53.1 million in the
first quarter of 1996 compared with $37.1 million in the same quarter last year
and as a percentage of net sales were 33.3% and 32.7%, respectively. The
increase of approximately 0.6% in SG&A, as a percentage of net sales, primarily
reflects increases in occupancy costs and expenses associated with the opening
of six new stores and the expansion of one store, compared with one new store
opened during the same period last year, which were partially offset by a
decrease in payroll and payroll related items. Expenses associated with new,
relocated or expanded stores are charged to earnings as incurred.

Operating profit in the first quarter of 1996 increased to $12.7 million from
$9.8 million in the first quarter of 1995, reflecting primarily the increase in
net sales which was partially offset by increases in cost of sales and SG&A.


EXPANSION PROGRAM

The Company is engaged in an ongoing expansion program involving the opening of
new stores in both existing and new markets and the expansion or replacement of
existing stores with new, larger stores. As a result of this program, the total
number of stores has increased to 86 stores at the end of the first quarter of
1996 compared with 62 stores at the end of the corresponding quarter last year.
Total square footage grew to 3,481,000 square feet at the end of the first
quarter of 1996, from 2,379,000 square feet at the end of the first quarter of
last year.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company opened six new stores and
expanded one store resulting in an aggregate addition of 267,000 square feet to
total store space. The Company anticipates opening approximately eighteen to
twenty additional stores by the end of the fiscal year, aggregating
approximately 700,000 to 800,000 square feet of store space.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at May 26, 1996 were $269.7 million compared with $235.8 million at
February 25, 1996, an increase of $33.9 million. Of the total increase, $30.6
million represented an increase in current assets and $3.3 million represented
an increase in non-current assets. The increase in current assets was primarily
attributable to an increase in merchandise inventories, which resulted from new
store space and, to a lesser extent, the expansion of merchandise categories and
assortments, as well as seasonal requirements.

Total liabilities at May 26, 1996 were $105.8 million compared with $84.4
million at February 25, 1996, an increase of $21.4 million. The increase was
primarily attributable to a $23.0 million increase in accounts payable
(resulting from an increase in inventories) and a $2.5 million increase in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities, which was partially offset by a
$5.0 million decrease in long-term debt.

Shareholders' equity was $163.9 million at May 26, 1996 compared with $151.4
million at February 25, 1996. The increase primarily reflects net earnings for
the first three months of fiscal 1996 and additional paid-in capital from the
exercise of stock options.

Capital expenditures for the first three months of fiscal 1996 were $5.1 million
compared with $2.5 million for the corresponding period last year. The increase
is primarily attributable to leasehold improvements for the six new stores
opened and one store expanded during the first quarter compared to leasehold
improvements for the one new store opened in the same period last year.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q may contain forward looking statements. Important factors which
may affect these statements are contained in the Company's Annual Report to
shareholders for the fiscal year ended February 25, 1996.
