                    GARDEN RIDGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such regulations, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary
for the fair presentation of the unaudited results for the periods have been
included. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for
such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended
January 28, 1996.

         Earnings per common share and common equivalent share were computed
using the treasury stock method and by dividing net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the
Company and common stock equivalents, which consist of warrants and options,
outstanding during the periods.

         In connection with the Company's Initial Public Offering of its common
stock on May 16, 1995 (the "Initial Offering"), the Company's Board of Directors
approved a 4.5 to 1 stock split which has been reflected in the Company's
accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

2.       PUBLIC OFFERINGS:

         The Company completed its Initial Offering, pursuant to which the
Company sold 2,900,000 shares of Common Stock at the price of $15.00 per share
(including 390,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option). Net proceeds of the Initial Offering, after deducting
the underwriting discount and expenses, were approximately $39.5 million.
Proceeds of the Initial Offering were used to (i) redeem all of the Company's
preferred stock including dividends, (ii) repay the Company's fixed rate and
floating rate subordinated notes, and (iii) repay the Company's lines of credit.
The remaining proceeds of approximately $11 million from the Initial Offering
were retained to fund expansion and for general working capital requirements.

         The Company completed a secondary public offering of its common stock
on April 30, 1996 (the "Secondary Offering"), pursuant to which the Company sold
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the price of $51.75 per share (including
210,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option). Net proceeds of the Secondary Offering, after deducting the
underwriting discount and expenses were approximately $48.7 million. Proceeds
were retained to fund expansion and for general working capital purposes.

FIRST QUARTER ENDED APRIL 28, 1996 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30,
1995

         Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $12.6 million, or
47.0%, to $39.2 million from $26.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of the Pineville
(Charlotte) and Jacksonville stores in March 1996, sales from three stores
opened in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and the results of a full quarter's
sales volume from the Louisville store which opened in March 1995. Comparable
store sales were even with the same period last year. Excluding the first week
of February when many of the Company's stores were closed due to ice storms and
inclement weather, sales at comparable stores increased 2%.

         Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 36.0% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to 36.5% for the comparable period in fiscal
1996. This decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to higher
occupancy costs as a percentage of sales.

                                        6

         Store operating expenses increased $3.5 million, or 47.3%, in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 primarily as a result of the opening of new stores.

         General and administrative expenses increased $294,000, or 24.9%, to
$1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to $1.2 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase generally related to corporate
personnel additions. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to 3.7% from 4.4% in the
comparable period of 1996, reflecting the higher level of sales in fiscal 1997.

         Preopening costs of $691,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 relate
to the opening of the Pineville (Charlotte) and Jacksonville stores in March
1996. The Company's policy is to expense preopening costs in the month a store
commences operations.

         Interest income was $95,000, or 0.2% of sales in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, as compared to interest expense of $410,000, or 1.5% of sales in
the comparable period of 1996. This change primarily resulted from the repayment
of the Company's long-term debt with proceeds from the Initial Offering and the
investment of excess cash by the Company.

         Income taxes were $374,000, representing an effective tax rate of 39.0%
for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, as compared to $78,000, or 38.8% in the
comparable period of fiscal 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company completed a secondary public offering of its common stock
on April 30, 1996 (the "Secondary Offering"), pursuant to which the Company sold
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the price of $51.75 per share (including
210,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option). Net proceeds of the Secondary Offering, after deducting the
underwriting discount and expenses were approximately $48.7 million. Proceeds
were retained to fund expansion and for general working capital purposes.

         The Company's primary sources of working capital are cash flow from
operations and borrowings under its lines of credit. The Company had working
capital of $19.2 million at April 28, 1996. The Company currently has a $10
million line of credit and $5 million real estate line of credit which, after
giving effect to the proceeds of the Secondary Offering, have no outstanding
borrowings under them. Management believes the Company has sufficient working
capital, cash flow from operating activities and available unused credit
capacity to sustain current growth plans.
