                   THE BOMBAY COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   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 other than as described below) necessary to present fairly
the financial position as of May 4, 1996 and April 29, 1995, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended.
The results of operations for the three month periods ended May 4, 1996
and April 29, 1995 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 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.


(2)  Inventory Capitalization
     ------------------------  
  During the quarter ended May 4, 1996, the Company recorded  a one time
credit to cost of goods sold relating to the refinement of its method of
allocating overhead to inventory.  Such adjustment reduced cost of goods
sold for the period by $1,284,000 and decreased the loss per share by $.02.

(3)  Financing Arrangements
     ----------------------
  The Company has committed lines of credit totaling $30,000,000 and
uncommitted lines of $25,000,000 with its banks under agreements which
expire on June 30, 1996.  The Company is negotiating a new financing
agreement which will provide for a $30,000,000 committed and a $15,000,000
uncommitted facility expiring in June 1997.  The agreement is expected to
be signed by the end of June.  Such facility will be used  primarily for
its seasonal working capital needs.

General
- -------
The Bombay Company, Inc. (`Company'') is a specialty retailer which markets
lifestyle furniture, prints and accessories through its 433 locations of
The Bombay Company (`Bombay'') retail stores in 42 states in the United
States and nine Canadian provinces.  At May 4, 1996, Bombay operated 221
stores which are in its large format of approximately 4,000 square feet.
Over the long term, 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 as
large as the stores opened in the 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 May 4, 1996 and April 29, 1995
- ---------------------------------------------
Net sales were $68,082,000 for the quarter ended May 4, 1996 compared to
$77,943,000 for the same period last year which included sales relating
to the closed Alex & Ivy division. Excluding Alex & Ivy, net sales were
$63,719,000 for the quarter ended April 29, 1995.  Sales increases for
Bombay are primarily due to increased same store sales of 5% for the
quarter.

Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, was $48,326,000 for
the fiscal quarter compared to $54,629,000 for the same period last year.
As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased to 71.0% for the quarter
compared to 70.1% for the prior year.  Excluding Alex & Ivy, the percentage
was 69.2% for the quarter ended April 29, 1995.  The 1.8% increase for
Bombay, excluding Alex & Ivy, is due to lower product margin (4.4%)
partially offset by lower buying and occupancy costs (.7%) and a one time
credit of $1,284,000 relating to the refinement of the Company's method of
allocating overhead to inventory (1.9%).  The lower product margin is a
result of a continuing shift in the sales mix as consumers tend to purchase
a greater portion of sale or special purchase merchandise compared to full
price merchandise as well as slightly higher freight and handling costs.  The
percentage decrease in buying and occupancy costs reflects their relative
fixed nature measured against sales gains.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $23,878,000 or 35.1% of
sales for the quarter compared to $25,100,000 or 32.2% for the comparable
prior year period.  The percentage for Bombay, excluding Alex & Ivy, was
33.7% for the quarter ended April 29, 1995.  The 1.4% increase for Bombay
is principally associated with payroll costs slightly offset by lower
advertising, relative to sales.


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 $22,434,000 were
outstanding at May 4, 1996.  Bank lines total $55,000,000, of which
$30,000,000 is committed under revolving credit agreements expiring
June 30, 1996.  Based on current assessment of financing requirements,
the Company is negotiating a new financing agreement providing bank lines
totaling $45,000,000 of which $30,000,000 will be committed.  The agreement
is expected to be signed by the end of June.

At May 4, 1996, cash was $7,470,000, a decrease of $16,609,000 since
February 3, 1996.  Uses of cash for the three months ended May 4, 1996
were primarily due to increased inventory levels of $14,560,000 and
reductions in current liabilities of $6,684,000.  The primary sources
of cash were operating results, adjusted for noncash items, of $1,982,000
and reductions of current assets of $3,305,000.  Capital expenditures for
the quarter, totaling $1,259,000, included  one new store opening and one
conversion.

The store expansion program for the remainder of the fiscal year anticipates
approximately four new stores and one store conversion.  The total estimated
capital expenditures for fiscal 1996 are $5,000,000.  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.
