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 26, 1997.
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 February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." The new standard simplifies the computation of earnings per share (EPS)
and increases comparability to international standards. Under SFAS No. 128,
primary EPS is replaced by "Basic" EPS, which excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. "Diluted" EPS, which is
computed similarly to fully diluted EPS, reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock. Management believes the adoption of
SFAS No. 128 in the fiscal year ended January 25, 1998 financial statements will
have no material impact on the Company's EPS.
The Company's Board of Directors approved a 2 for 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 split as if it occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period
presented.
2. PUBLIC OFFERING:
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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in January in each year
resulting in either a 52 or 53 week year. References to fiscal years by date
refer to the fiscal year ending in that calendar year; for example, "fiscal
1998" refers to the fiscal year ending January 25, 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated income statement
data expressed as a percentage of sales.

</TABLE>
SECOND QUARTER ENDED JULY 27, 1997 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER ENDED JULY 28,
1996
Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $18.5 million, or
41.0%, to $63.6 million from $45.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.
The increase was primarily attributable to two stores opening in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 and three stores opening in the third quarter of fiscal
1997. In addition, comparable store sales were 11% higher than the same period
last year.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 33.3% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to 36.0% for the comparable period in fiscal
1997. This decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales resulted from (i)
an increased reserve for inventory shrinkage (from 2% to 3% of sales), (ii)
freight costs being 1% of sales higher, and (iii) buying and occupancy costs for
the second quarter of fiscal 1998 being higher than the second quarter of fiscal
1997.
<PAGE>
Store operating expenses increased $5.1 million, or 38.3%, in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 primarily as a result of operating 20 stores in the
second quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to operating 15 stores in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997.
General and administrative expenses increased $297,000, or 18.0%, to $1.9
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to $1.6 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase generally relates to corporate
personnel additions. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 to 3.0% from 3.7% in the
comparable period of fiscal 1997, reflecting the higher level of sales in fiscal
1998.
Interest income was $284,000, or 0.4% of sales in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998, as compared to $525,000, or 1.2% of sales in the comparable period
of fiscal 1997. This decrease is primarily due to less cash being invested
because of the capital expenditures on five new stores, corporate capital
expenditures, and inventory investments in all stores.
Income taxes were $401,000, representing an effective tax rate of 37.0%
for the second quarter of fiscal 1998, as compared to $434,000, or 39.0%, in the
comparable period of fiscal 1997. The Company's lower effective tax rate is
attributable to the Company's geographic expansion resulting in a lower
effective state tax rate.
TWENTY SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 27, 1997 COMPARED TO TWENTY SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 28,
1996
Sales in the first half of fiscal 1998 increased $38.8 million, or 46.0%,
to $123.1 million from $84.3 million in the first half of fiscal 1997. The
increase was primarily attributable to two stores opening in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998, and three stores opening in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
Comparable store sales increased 9% over the same period last year.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 34.0% in the first half of
fiscal 1998, as compared to 36.0% for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The
decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to (i) the increased
reserve for shrinkage, (ii) higher freight costs in the second quarter of fiscal
1998, and (iii) higher buying and occupancy costs, as compared to the first half
of fiscal 1997.
Store operating expenses increased $11.3 million, or 46.9%, in the first
half of fiscal 1998 due to the opening of new stores.
General and administrative expenses increased $886,000, or 28.4%, to $4.0
million in the first half of fiscal 1998 as compared to $3.1 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 3.3% for the first half of fiscal 1998 compared to 3.7% for the
same period last year.
Interest income increased $55,000, or 8.9% to $675,000 in the first half
of fiscal 1998 as compared to interest expense of $620,000 in the same period
last year.
Income taxes were $677,000, an effective tax rate of 37.0% for the first
half of fiscal 1998 compared to 39.0% in the comparable period of the prior
year. The Company's lower effective tax rate is attributable to the Company's
geographic expansion resulting in a lower effective state tax rate.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company completed its Secondary Offering in April 1996 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 $64.4 million at July 27, 1997. The Company currently has a $15
million line of credit which has no outstanding borrowings under it. Management
believes the Company has sufficient working capital, cash flow from operating
activities and available unused credit capacity to sustain current growth plans.
