                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)Accounting Principles
   ---------------------

  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 29,
1995 and July 31, 1994, and the results of operations and cash flows for the six
months then ended.  The results of operations for the six month and three month
periods ended July 29, 1995 and July 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  The consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement
disclosures contained in the Company's Report to Shareholders for the seven
months ended January 28, 1995.

Company's Alex & Ivy chain of retail stores.  A reserve of $41 million was
established, representing the estimated costs of closing the 58-store division.
During the quarters ended April 29, 1995 and July 29, 1995, respectively, $4.4
million and $1.6 million of the original reserve was reversed based on favorable
results of negotiated lease terminations, thereby reflecting lower costs than
originally projected.  All Alex & Ivy stores were closed as of May 10, 1995 and
all store lease termination agreements were fully executed as of July 29, 1995.

(3)Preferred Share Purchase Rights
   -------------------------------

  On June 1, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a dividend distribution of
one Preferred Share Purchase Right (`Rights'') on each outstanding share of
Company Common Stock, payable on June 15, 1995.  The Rights, which have ten year
terms, will be exercisable, upon the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after
the first public announcement that a person or group, together with its
affiliates and associates, has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire,
beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock,
or (ii) the tenth business day after the commencement of, or first public
announcement of an intention to commence, a tender or exchange offer which would
result in a person or group obtaining beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock.  Each Right (other than those held by the
acquirer) will entitle its holder to purchase at the Right's exercise price of
$50.00 one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock of the Company or a number of shares of Company Common Stock having a
market value of twice the Right's exercise price.  Rights held by the 15% holder
will become void.  In the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or
other business combination, or 50% or more of the Company's assets or earning
power, are sold, leased, exchanged or otherwise transferred, each Right holder
(other than the acquirer, whose Rights become void) shall thereafter have the
right to receive, for the exercise price, that number of shares of common stock
of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction would have a
market value of twice the exercise price.

  The Board of Directors of the Company will be entitled to redeem the Rights at
one cent per Right any time before any such person acquires 15% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock or the expiration date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations

General
-------

The Bombay Company, Inc. ("Company") is a specialty retailer of home furnishings
and accessories.  The Bombay Company ("Bombay") markets traditionally styled
furniture, prints and accessories throughout its 432 stores located in 42 states
in the United States and nine Canadian provinces.  At July 29, 1995, Bombay
operated 212 stores which are in its large format of approximately 4,000 square
feet.  It is the Company's intention to continue to open new large format stores
and convert the majority of the existing small stores to the large format, but
not necessarily at the same opening rates or sizes experienced during prior
years.  On January 13, 1995, the Company announced the closing of the Alex & Ivy
retail chain.  The closure of these 58 stores was completed on May 10, 1995.

The largest percentage of the Company's sales and operating income are realized
in the fiscal quarter that includes December (Christmas season).  Although the
precise effect of inflation on operations cannot be accurately determined,
management does not believe inflation has a material effect on sales or results
of operations.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Quarters ended July 29, 1995 and July 31, 1994
----------------------------------------------

Net sales were $69,669,000 for the quarter ended July 29, 1995 compared to
$78,199,000 for the same period last year.  Net sales, excluding Alex & Ivy,
were $69,164,000 for the quarter ended July 29, 1995 compared to $72,920,000 for
the prior year period.  Same store sales for Bombay stores decreased 11% for the
second fiscal quarter.  The same store sales include 38 stores which were
converted to a large store format during the last twelve months.  Excluding
these converted large format stores, same store sales for the three months ended
July 29, 1995 decreased 14%.

Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, was $49,311,000 for the
second fiscal quarter compared to $50,438,000 for the same period last year.  As
a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased to 70.8% for the quarter compared
to 64.5% for the prior year.  Bombay, excluding Alex & Ivy, had an increase in
its cost of sales percentage to 70.7% for the quarter ended July 29, 1995
compared to last year's 63.1%.  The 7.6% increase is due to higher buying and
occupancy costs (5.0%) and lower product margin (2.6%).  The occupancy costs
percentage increased as a result of the retail square feet added since last year
and the effect of declining same store sales relative to the fixed nature of
occupancy costs.  The lower product margin is related to slightly higher product
costs and a shift in the company's marketing calendar, with the 1995 summer
promotions beginning four weeks earlier than in the prior year.  In addition,
this year's summer promotions featured slightly more aggressive discounts in
selected product lines and discontinued merchandise.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21,689,000 or 31.1% of sales
for the quarter compared to $24,180,000 or 30.9% of sales for the comparable
prior year period.  The percentage for Bombay, excluding Alex & Ivy, increased
to 31.2% for the second fiscal quarter compared to 29.4% for the prior year
period.  The 1.8% increase is principally associated with advertising and
payroll costs.  Fixed payroll costs increased relative to sales, but were
significantly offset by declines in performance-based pay.
The estimated costs of lease obligations for the Alex & Ivy store closings were
adjusted by reversing $1.6 million of the original reserve based on favorable
results of negotiated lease terminations, thereby reflecting lower costs than
originally projected.

Six Months Ended July 29, 1995 and July 31, 1994
------------------------------------------------

Net sales were $147,612,000 for the six months ended July 29, 1995, compared to
$142,541,000 for the same period last year.  Excluding Alex & Ivy, sales for the
six months were $132,883,000 compared to $133,542,000 for the same period in the
prior year.  Same store sales for Bombay stores decreased 7% for the six months
ended July 29, 1995.  The same store sales include 38 stores which were
converted to a large store format during the last twelve months.  Excluding
these large format stores, same store sales decreased 12% for the six months
ended July 29, 1995.

Cost of sales, including buying and store occupancy costs, was $103,940,000 or
70.4% of sales for the six months compared to $92,333,000 or 64.8% for the same
period last year.  Bombay, excluding Alex & Ivy, had an increase in its cost of
sales percentage to 70.0% for the six months compared to last year's 63.4%.  The
6.6% increase is due to higher buying and occupancy costs (4.7%) and lower
product margin (1.9%).  The occupancy costs percentage increased as a result of
the retail square feet added since last year and effect of declining same store
sales relative to the fixed nature of occupancy costs.  The lower product margin
is related to slightly higher product costs and a shift in the company's
marketing calendar, with the 1995 summer promotions beginning four weeks earlier
than in the prior year.  Additionally, this year's summer promotions featured
slightly more aggressive discounts in selected product lines and discontinued
merchandise.  Higher warehouse costs in the first fiscal quarter also
contributed to the decline in product margin for the six months ended July 29,
1995 as a new distribution center was opened in Fall 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $46,789,000 or 31.7% of sales
for the six months ended July 29, 1995 compared to $42,956,000 or 30.1% of sales
for the comparable prior year period.  The percentage for Bombay, excluding Alex
& Ivy, increased to 32.4% for the six months compared to 29.1% for the prior
year period.  The 3.3% increase is principally associated with store operating
costs, such as payroll, advertising and insurance.  Fixed payroll costs
increased relative to sales, but were significantly offset by declines in
performance-based pay.

The estimated costs of lease obligations for the Alex & Ivy store closings were
adjusted by reversing $6.0 million of the original reserve based on favorable
results of negotiated lease terminations, thereby reflecting lower costs than
originally projected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from
operations and bank borrowings.  Historically, for approximately six months of
the year, bank borrowings have been utilized to fund seasonal inventory
purchases.  In addition, the bank credit lines are used throughout the year to
support letters of credit which are used extensively for overseas merchandise
purchases. Letters of credit totaling $23,880,000 were outstanding at July 29,
1995.  Bank lines total $75,000,000, of which $50,000,000 is committed under
revolving credit agreements expiring December 31, 1995.

At July 29, 1995, cash and short-term investments were $22,242,000, a decrease
of $8,428,000 since January 28, 1995.  Sources of cash for the six months ended
July 29, 1995 were primarily from net income of $2,096,000, reduced inventory
levels of $5,705,000, proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of
$2,110,000 and noncash items totaling $8,961,000. The primary uses of cash were
reductions in liabilities of $24,877,000 and capital expenditures of $3,541,000.
A total of six new stores and eight store conversions were completed during the
six months ended July 29, 1995.

The store expansion program for the remainder of the fiscal year anticipates
approximately four new stores and two store conversions.  The total estimated
capital expenditures for fiscal 1995 are $5,000,000.  This estimate has been
significantly reduced since April 29, 1995 primarily due to lower store
construction costs and fewer store openings than originally planned.  The
Company believes that its current cash position, cash flow from operations and
borrowings available under credit lines will be sufficient to fund current
operations and its capital expenditure program.
