NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, except for the February 26,
2000 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 27, 2000 and February 26, 2000 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended May
27, 2000 and May 29, 1999, 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 26, 2000 for additional disclosures,
including a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months May 27, 2000 vs. Three Months May 29, 1999
Net sales for the first quarter ended May 27, 2000 were $462.7 million, an
increase of $103.3 million or approximately 28.8% over net sales of $359.4
million for the corresponding quarter last year. Approximately 83.4% of the
increase was attributable to new store net sales. The increase in comparable
store net sales in the first quarter of 2000 was approximately 5.0%. The
increase in net sales reflects a number of factors, including but not limited
to, the continued consumer acceptance of the Company's merchandise offerings and
customer service and the generally favorable retailing environment.
Approximately 55% and 45% of net sales for the first quarter were attributable
to sales of domestics merchandise and home furnishings merchandise,
respectively.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2000 was $187.3 million or 40.5% of net
sales compared with $146.2 million or 40.7% of net sales during the first
quarter of 1999. The decrease in gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, in
the first quarter of 2000, as compared to the same period a year ago, was
attributable to a number of factors, including a different mix of sales as well
as a continued emphasis on providing value pricing to the customer.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $151.0 million in the
first quarter of 2000 compared with $118.2 million in the same quarter last year
and as a percentage of net sales were 32.6% and 32.9%, respectively. The
decrease in SG&A, as a percentage of net sales, primarily reflects a relative
decrease in occupancy costs which was partially offset by a relative increase
in payroll and payroll related items.
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 larger stores. As a result of this program, the total
number of stores has increased to 251 stores at the end of the first quarter of
2000 compared with 191 stores at the end of the corresponding quarter last year.
Total square footage grew to approximately 10.1 million square feet at the end
of the first quarter of 2000, from approximately 7.9 million square feet at the
end of the first quarter of last year. The total number of stores and the
total square footage does not include the Company's electronic service site
which was launched on November 28, 1999.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company opened ten new superstores
resulting in an aggregate addition of .3 million square feet to total store
space. The Company anticipates opening at least 50 additional stores by the end
of the fiscal year, aggregating at least 1.7 million square feet of additional
store space.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at May 27, 2000 were $954.6 million compared with $865.8 million at
February 26, 2000, an increase of $88.8 million. Of the total increase, $79.1
million represented an increase in current assets and $9.7 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, changes in merchandising mix.
Total liabilities at May 27, 2000 were $353.6 million compared with $306.8
million at February 26, 2000, an increase of $46.9 million. The increase was
primarily attributable to a $43.1 million increase in accounts payable
(resulting from an increase in merchandise inventories).
Shareholders' equity was $601.0 million at May 27, 2000 compared with $559.0
million at February 26, 2000. The increase primarily reflects net earnings for
the first three months of fiscal 2000 and additional paid-in capital from the
exercise of stock options.
Capital expenditures for the first three months of fiscal 2000 were $19.0
million compared with $7.0 million for the corresponding period last year. The
increase is primarily attributable to expenditures for furniture, fixtures and
leasehold improvements for the ten new superstores opened during the first three
months and for the electronic service site, compared to expenditures for
furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements for the five new superstores
opened and two stores expanded in the same period last year.
The Company believes that it will be able to finance both its normal operations
and its expansion program for the foreseeable future through internally
generated funds.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q may contain forward looking statements. Important factors which
