NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements contained herein have been prepared by
Calloway's Nursery, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position at June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three month and nine month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been made. Such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.
Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations and cash
flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of expected
results of operations and cash flows for the entire fiscal year ending
September 30, 1996.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and related notes of the Company for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1995 included in the Company's Form 10-K.

Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 Compared with Quarter Ended June 30, 1995
The Company achieved a 17% improvement in net income for the quarter
on a 15% increase in net sales. Net income for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 was approximately $2.7 million on net sales of approximately $12.3
million, as compared to net income of approximately $2.3 million on net
sales of approximately $10.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.
Gross profit increased by $639,000 on the increased sales volumes, as
gross profit margins declined by only one percentage point, from 50% in
1995 to 49% in 1996.
The improved net sales and gross profit resulted from the execution of
the Company's relatively new merchandising programs, which provided
coordinated merchandise planning, replenishment processes, and enhanced
visual merchandising.
Operating expenses increased by 13% to approximately $2.1 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from approximately $1.9 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995. The Company incurred the additional
expenses to support the aforementioned merchandising programs.
<PAGE 8>
Occupancy expenses were virtually unchanged: $761,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, and $760,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.
Advertising expenses increased by 8% from $398,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 to $431,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The
increase was attributable to the Company's enhanced in-store visual
merchandising efforts, and to increased rates for newspaper advertising.
No income tax benefits have been recorded for either fiscal 1996 or fiscal
1995 due to the full utilization of net operating income carrybacks in fiscal
1994.
Nine Month Period Ended June 30, 1996 Compared with Nine Month Period
Ended June 30, 1995
The Company achieved a 115% improvement in net income for the nine
months on a 9% increase in net sales. Net income for the nine months ended
June 30, 1996 was $1,019,000 on net sales of approximately $20.7 million,
as compared to net income of $475,000 on net sales of approximately $19.1
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.
Same-store net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 improved
by 9% to approximately $20.7 million from approximately $19.0 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 1995. The Company closed one store in
December 1994, reducing the number of stores to the current total of
sixteen. The same-store sales comparison is for the remaining sixteen
stores, all of which have been open for at least one year.
Gross profit margins rose to 48% for the nine months ended June 30,
1996 from 47% for the nine months ended June 30, 1995. The improved
margins on the improved sales caused gross profit to increase to
approximately $9.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from
approximately $9.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.
The improved gross profit margins resulted from the execution of the
Company's merchandising programs, which provided coordinated
merchandise planning, replenishment processes, and enhanced visual
merchandising. One benefit of such programs is reduced inventory
shrinkage, since inventory levels are kept consistent with achieved rates of
sale.
<PAGE 9>
Operating expenses increased to approximately $5.4 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996 from approximately $5.1 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995. The Company incurred the additional
expenses to support the aforementioned merchandising programs.
Occupancy expenses were virtually unchanged at approximately $2.2
million for each of the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
Advertising expenses increased by 12% from $895,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995 to $1,002,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
1996. The increase was attributable to the Company's enhanced in-store
visual merchandising efforts, and to increased rates for newspaper
advertising.
No income tax benefits have been recorded for either fiscal 1996 or fiscal
1995 due to the full utilization of net operating income carrybacks in fiscal
1994.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Cash flows provided by operating activities improved from $735,000 for
the nine months ended June 30, 1995 to approximately $3.3 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1996. The improvement was due to the
improvement in net income for the period and improved utilization of
supplier financing for the acquisition of merchandise inventories.
During the nine months ended June 30, 1996 the Company made
relatively minor capital improvements totaling $64,000. During the nine
months ended June 30, 1995 the Company received cash proceeds of
approximately $1.2 million from the sale-leaseback of certain property and
equipment, and used $864,000 to retire its remaining long-term
indebtedness.
For the nine months ended June 30, 1996 the Company issued
approximately 139,000 common shares to the Calloway's Nursery, Inc. Stock
Purchase Plan, receiving proceeds of approximately $119,000, compared to
approximately 120,000 common shares issued for proceeds of
approximately $137,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.
