                    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 the 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 period.

     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. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a 2 to 1 stock split effective June 28, 1996. All share and per share
information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have
been restated to reflect the stock splits as if they occurred as of the
beginning of the earliest period presented.

2. PUBLIC OFFERINGS:

     The Company completed its Initial Offering, pursuant to which the Company
sold 5,800,000 shares of Common Stock at the price of $7.50 per share (including
780,000 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
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the price of $25.88 per share (including
420,000 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.

</TABLE>

SECOND QUARTER ENDED JULY 28, 1996 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER ENDED 
JULY 30, 1995

     Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $18.4 million, or
69.0%, to $45.1 million from $26.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of the Tulsa store and an
additional Houston store in May 1996, two stores opened in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 and three stores opened in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
Comparable store sales, those stores open a full fourteen months, decreased 2%
over the same period last year.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 36.0% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to 35.5% for the comparable period in fiscal
1996. This increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was a result of
higher product margins in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to 
the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

                                        6

     Store operating expenses increased $5.7 million, or 75.5%, in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 primarily as a result of fifteen stores operating during
the quarter compared to eight stores operating in the same quarter of the prior
year.

     General and administrative expenses increased $550,000, or 50.1%, to $1.6
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to $1.1 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase generally relates to corporate
personnel additions. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 to 3.7% from 4.1% in the
comparable period of fiscal 1996, reflecting the higher level of sales in fiscal
1997.

     Preopening costs of $582,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 relate to
the opening of the Webster (Houston) and Tulsa stores in May 1996. The Company's
policy is to expense preopening costs in the month a store commences operations.

     Interest income was $525,000, or 1.2% of sales in the second quarter of
fiscal 1997, as compared to $65,000, or 0.2% of sales in the comparable period
of fiscal 1996. This change was a result of the repayment of all long-term debt
with the use of proceeds of the Initial Offering and the investment of excess
cash from the Company's Secondary Offering.

     Income taxes were $434,000, representing an effective tax rate of 39.0% for
the second quarter of fiscal 1997, as compared to $290,000, or 39.0%, in the
comparable period of fiscal 1996.


TWENTY SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 28, 1996 COMPARED TO TWENTY SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 30,
1995

     Sales in the first half of fiscal 1997 increased $31.1 million, or 58.4%,
to $84.3 million from $53.2 million in the first half of fiscal 1996. The
increase was primarily attributable to the opening of the Tulsa store and an
additional Houston store in May 1996, two stores opened in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, and three stores opened in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
Comparable store sales decreased 1% over the same period last year.

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 36.0% in the first half of fiscal
1997, the same as the comparable period in fiscal 1996. This was due to
increased occupancy and buying costs as a percentage of sales in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 offset by higher product margins in the second quarter of
fiscal 1997.

     Store operating expenses increased $9.2 million, or 61.6%, in the first
half of fiscal 1997 due to fifteen stores operating during the first half
compared to eight stores in the same period of the prior year.

     General and administrative expenses increased $844,000, or 37.1%, to $3.1
million in the first half of fiscal 1997 as compared to $2.3 million in the same
period last year. This increase principally relates to corporate personnel
additions. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 3.7% for the first half of fiscal 1997 compared to 4.3% for the
same period last year.

                                        7

     Interest income increased $965,000, or 279.0% to $620,000 in the first half
of fiscal 1997 as compared to interest expense of $345,000 in the same period
last year. The increase is a result of the repayment of all of the Company's
long-term debt as a result of the Initial Offering and investment of excess cash
from the Company's Secondary Offering.

     Income taxes were $808,000, an effective tax rate of 39.0% for the first
half of fiscal 1997 compared to 39.0% in the comparable period of the prior
year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company completed its Secondary Offering pursuant to which the Company
sold 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the price of $25.88 per share
(including 420,000 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 $66.1 million at July 28, 1996. The Company currently has a $10
million line of credit and $5 million real estate line of credit which 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.
