MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Thirteen Weeks (Second Quarter) and Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 29, 1995
Versus Thirteen Weeks and Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 30, 1994
On August 14, 1995, the Company signed an agreement to sell its women's
specialty division, Hit or Miss, to an entity owned by a group of outside
investors and management of that division. As a result of this
transaction, the operating results of Hit or Miss for the current period
and all prior periods are presented as discontinued operations for
comparative purposes. The impact of the sale of the division, estimated to
be an after-tax loss of $31.7 million (net of tax benefits of $19.8
million), is reflected as loss on disposal of discontinued operations. The
loss on disposal includes an estimate of operating results of Hit or Miss
from July 30, 1995 through the anticipated closing date of the transaction.
Net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter were $848.9
million, up 10% from $775.2 million last year. For the six months, net
sales from continuing operations were $1,679.4 million, up 9% from $1,537.5
million for the same period last year. The sales increase is primarily
attributable to new stores and, to a lesser extent, the inclusion of
HomeGoods in this year's consolidated net sales. Same store sales for the
quarter decreased 2% for T.J. Maxx and increased 18% for Winners. For the
six months, same store sales decreased 2% for T.J. Maxx and increased 11%
for Winners. Chadwick's experienced an increase in sales of 3% and 5% for
the quarter and six months, respectively. In general, sales were impacted
in both periods by the continuing general softness, industrywide, in U.S.
apparel sales, continued promotional activity of other retailers and
unusual weather in the second quarter.
Income from continuing operations for the second quarter was $7.7 million,
or $.08 per common share, versus last year's $19.8 million, or $.24 per
common share. The net loss for the second quarter after reflecting Hit or
Miss as discontinued operations, was $24.8 million, or $.37 per common
share, versus net income of $18.8 million, or $.23 per common share, last
year. For the six months, income from continuing operations was $17.2
million, or $.19 per common share versus $39.3 million, or $.48 per common
share. The net loss for the six months after reflecting Hit or Miss as
discontinued operations was $16.8 million, or $.28 per common share, versus
net income of $38.2 million, or $.47 per common share, for the same period
last year.

The following table sets forth operating results expressed as a percentage
of net sales:

Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of sales, including buying
and occupancy costs 77.5 75.2 76.9 74.7
Selling, general and administrative
expenses 19.7 19.7 20.1 20.2
Interest on debt and capital leases 1.1 .7 1.1 .7
Income from continuing operations
before income taxes 1.7% 4.4% 1.9% 4.4%
Consolidated cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, as a
percentage of net sales increased in both periods over last year due to
higher markdowns taken at T.J. Maxx.
Interest on debt and capital leases increased in both periods over the
prior year due to additional long-term borrowings under the Company's
medium term note program in September 1994, a $45 million real estate
mortgage placed on the Chadwick's fulfillment center in December 1994, and
$200 million of long-term notes issued in June 1995. In addition, interest
expense reflects an increase in short-term borrowings, prior to receipt of
the $200 million borrowed in June.
The increase in the effective income tax rate in both periods reflects the
impact of foreign operating losses for which tax benefits have not been
recognized.

the net operating results of T.K. Maxx and the Cosmopolitan catalog.
General corporate expense for the periods ended July 30, 1994 include
the net operating results of HomeGoods and T.K. Maxx.
The off-price family apparel stores segment, T.J. Maxx and Winners,
recorded a decrease in operating profit of 21% and 25% for the second
quarter and six months, respectively. This is attributable to weak apparel
sales and increased markdowns at T.J. Maxx. Winners operating income
increased in both periods. Chadwick's recorded a decrease in operating
income in both periods due to a weak response to the summer catalog.
Despite the weak sales performance, this division has made operational
improvements leading to improved customer service.

Stores in operation at the end of the period are as follows:

T.J. Maxx 565 520
Winners 42 29
HomeGoods 22 10
T.K. Maxx 6 2
Financial Condition
Cash flows from operating and financing activities for the six months
reflect increases in inventory and short-term borrowings, which are
primarily due to normal seasonal requirements and an increase in
opportunistic purchases at T.J. Maxx for the fall selling season versus
that of the prior year. An increase in long-term debt is due to the
Company's borrowing of $100 million of 5 year notes at 6 5/8% and $100
million of 10 year notes at 7%. Proceeds of these two notes initially used
in part to reduce short-term borrowings will be used for the repayment of
scheduled maturities of outstanding long-term debt, for new store and other
capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. Overall borrowing
levels have increased primarily due to lower than anticipated earnings in
fiscal 1995 and the first half of fiscal 1996.
As of July 29, 1995, the Company has unsecured committed short-term credit
lines totalling $330 million and unsecured uncommitted short-term credit
lines of $105 million. These lines, when needed, are drawn upon or used as
backup to the Company's commercial paper program. The Company believes
that internally generated funds along with its ability to access external
financing sources, will meet its needs.
PAGE 10
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The results for the first six months are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full fiscal year, because the Company's business, in
common with the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to
seasonal influences, with higher levels of sales and income generally
realized in the second half of the year.
2. The preceding data are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring
adjustments, the use of retail statistics, and accruals and deferrals
among periods required to match costs properly with the related revenue
or activity, considered necessary by the Company for a fair presentation
of its financial statements for the periods reported, all in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and practices consistently
applied.
3. The Company has available reserves for lease and other contingent
liabilities associated with the 1988 sale of the Company's former Zayre
Stores division to Ames Department Stores, Inc. and the Company believes
that these reserves should be adequate to cover all reasonably expected
liabilities that it may incur as a result of the Ames bankruptcy. On
December 30, 1992, Ames emerged from bankruptcy pursuant to a plan of
reorganization.
4. The Company's cash payments for interest expense and income taxes,
including discontinued operations, are as follows: (in thousands)
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
July 29, July 30,
1995 1994
Cash paid for:
Interest on debt and capital leases $17,718 $11,229
Income taxes 5,568 33,882
5. On August 14, 1995, the Company signed an agreement to sell the Hit or
Miss division to members of Hit or Miss management and outside
investors. Under the agreement, the Company will be responsible for the
cost of closing 69 stores. The Company will receive $3 million in cash
and a seven-year, $10 million Note with interest at 10%. The parties
expect to complete the transaction during September, 1995.
As a result of this transaction, the operating results of Hit or Miss,
as well as the loss on the sale of the division, are presented as
discontinued operations. The Company's results for the second quarter
and first six months include an after-tax loss from discontinued
operations of $.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The operating
results of Hit or Miss for all prior periods have been reclassified as
"Income (loss) from discontinued operations" for comparative purposes.
The impact of the sale of the division, estimated to be an after-tax
loss of $31.7 million (net of tax benefits of $19.8 million), is
reflected as "Loss on disposal of discontinued operations." The loss on
disposal includes an estimate of operating results of Hit or Miss
through the anticipated closing date of the transaction.
PAGE 11
6. In June 1995, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission which provides for the issuance of up
to $250,000,000 of long-term debt. Upon completion of the filing, the
Company then issued $200 million of long-term notes. A summary of the
notes issued is as follows:
Principal Term Interest Rate
Note A $100 Million 5 Years 6 5/8%
Note B 100 Million 10 Years 7%
The proceeds, initially used in part to repay short-term borrowings,
will be used by the Company for the repayment of scheduled maturities of
outstanding long-term debt, for new store and other capital expenditures
and for general corporate purposes.
