MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL In fiscal years 1991, 1992 and 1993, the Company added 4, 28 and 54 stores, respectively. During these periods, the Company obtained a substantial portion of its sales increases from stores added during, or subsequent to, the prior comparable period and thus not yet included in comparable store sales comparisons. During these periods, sales from these newer stores accounted for approximately 55%, 56% and 88%, respectively, of aggregate sales increases. The Company intends to add approximately 70 to 75 stores in fiscal 1994, of which nine stores have been opened and 25 stores have been added through acquisitions. In fiscal 1994 and beyond, sales increases from newly opened and acquired stores will depend in part on the availability of suitable store sites, the rate of development of new stores, the availability of suitable acquisition candidates, and the Company's ability to hire and train qualified managers. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table shows the percentage of net sales that each item in the Consolidated Statements of Income represents. This table should be read in conjunction with the following discussion and with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes.

FOR FISCAL 1993 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1992 Net sales in the fiscal year ended January 30, 1994 ("1993"), increased $126.5 million, or 26%, over the fiscal year ended January 31, 1993 ("1992"). The results for 1993 included sales of 54 stores added during the year. During 1993, sales of the newer stores (not included in comparable store sales) accounted for $111.3 million of the increase. Comparable store sales increased three percent in 1993 compared to the prior year. Cost of sales and occupancy expense for 1993 decreased by 0.4% compared to 1992 due primarily to increases in sales of higher margin custom framing and floral services, an improvement in the gross margin achieved on seasonal merchandise sales, greater margin contributions from new stores, and 20 an increase in volume discounts from vendors. This improvement in gross margin was partially offset by an increase in occupancy expenses driven by the Company's shift to new stores with higher average selling square footage than existing stores, coupled with the Company's expansion into states with higher occupancy costs such as New York, Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 0.6% in 1993 from 1992. The increase was due to expenses associated with the Company's new store opening program and additional payroll attributed to the increase in custom framing and floral services, offset in part by a decrease in general and administrative expenditures, as a percentage of sales, which were spread over a larger revenue base in 1993. Interest expense for 1993 was $6.4 million compared to $0.3 million in 1992. The increase was due primarily to the issuance of convertible subordinated debt in January 1993. Other income (net of other expense) was $7.7 million in 1993 compared to other expense of $0.5 million in 1992, as the Company earned substantial interest, dividends and capital gains on its investment portfolio during 1993. Due to planned expansion activity, the average investment portfolio is expected to decrease during 1994, resulting in less investment income. The effective tax rate was reduced to 38.4% in 1993 from 39.1% in 1992 primarily due to the Company's investments in tax-advantaged securities. FOR FISCAL 1992 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1991 Net sales in 1992 increased $82.3 million, or 20%, over the fiscal year ended February 2, 1992 ("1991"). The results for 1992 included sales of 28 stores added during the year. During 1992, sales of the newer stores (not included in comparable store sales) accounted for $45.7 million of the increase. Comparable store sales increased approximately seven percent in 1992 compared to the prior year. The Company attributed the increase in comparable store sales primarily to increased advertising and increased sales of Halloween, Fall and Christmas merchandise. Cost of sales and occupancy expense for 1992 decreased by 1.2% compared to 1991 due primarily to lower distribution costs, more favorable purchase prices from vendors and continuing efforts to improve inventory management and control. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 0.5% in 1992 from 1991. The increase was primarily attributable to a more extensive advertising program, particularly in certain markets in which new stores were opened. Another factor contributing to the increase was the pre-opening expenses for the 24 stores opened during 1992, compared to pre-opening expenses for only four stores for the prior year. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in general and administrative expenditures, as a percentage of sales, which were spread over a larger revenue base in 1992. Interest expense for 1992 was $0.3 million compared to $7.0 million in 1991. The decrease resulted from the retirement of all long-term borrowings at the end of 1991. 21 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company added 54 new stores during 1993. Expenditures for property and equipment amounted to approximately $46.8 million during 1993; such expenditures related primarily to the 54 new store openings, and, to a lesser extent, the remodeling, expansion and relocation of certain existing stores. The Company plans to add approximately 70 to 75 stores in fiscal 1994, including Craft and Floral Warehouse ("CFW") stores, additional stores in Canada, and stores acquired through acquisitions. The Company anticipates the costs of adding stores (excluding CFW stores) to be approximately $300,000 to $400,000 per store, which includes furniture, fixtures, equipment, and pre-opening expenses. Leasehold improvement costs tend to vary among locations. The inventory investment associated with the typical new store will range from approximately $400,000 to $600,000 depending on the store size, operating format, and date opened; however, due to the Company's typical payment terms and inventory turnover, the Company's vendors, in effect, finance a significant component of this initial inventory investment. The Company also expects to spend approximately $10 million on store renovation, the development of new point-of-sale and merchandising systems, and the expansion of distribution facilities in fiscal 1994. The Company currently has a $50 million line of credit (which expires on April 30, 1994), and is negotiating with its principal lender on a new $100 million line of credit to replace the current line. As of January 30, 1994, the Company had working capital of $181.8 million, compared to $104.5 million at January 31, 1993. Working capital at March 27, 1994 was $181.7 million. Management believes that the Company has sufficient working capital (including marketable and other securities of approximately $68 million), cash flow from operating activities, and access to credit to sustain current growth plans. OTHER MATTERS The Company's business is seasonal in nature with higher store sales in the third and fourth quarters. Historically, the fourth quarter, which includes the Christmas selling season, has accounted for approximately 35% of the Company's sales and approximately 50% of its operating income. Management considers the effect of inflation on 1993 results and its projected effect on fiscal 1994 financial results to be nominal.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Michaels Stores, Inc. (the "Company") owns and operates a chain of specialty retail stores. The Company reports on a 52/53-week fiscal year which ends on the Sunday closest to January 31; thus, fiscal 1993 ("1993"), fiscal 1992 ("1992"), and fiscal 1991 ("1991") ended on January 30, 1994, January 31, 1993, and February 2, 1992, respectively. CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. CASH AND EQUIVALENTS Cash and equivalents are generally comprised of highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates market value. MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES Store merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of average cost (determined by a retail method) or market. Distribution center inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. COSTS IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS OF ACQUIRED OPERATIONS Costs in excess of net assets of acquired operations are being amortized over 40 years on a straight-line basis. Accumulated amortization was $5,182,000 and $4,462,000 as of the end of 1993 and 1992, respectively. STORE PRE-OPENING COSTS Store pre-opening costs are expensed in the fiscal year in which the store opens. In 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Company incurred $4,893,000, $2,377,000 and $195,000, respectively, of store pre-opening costs. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share data are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including common stock equivalents and other dilutive securities. The assumed conversion of the convertible subordinated notes was dilutive for the fourth quarter and full year of 1993 and was therefore included in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share data for those periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SUBORDINATED DEBT In January 1993 the Company issued $97.75 million of convertible subordinated notes ("Notes") due January 15, 2003. Interest, payable on January 15 and July 15, is computed at the rate of 4 3/4% from the date of issuance to January 15, 1996, and at 6 3/4% thereafter. Interest expense is accrued by the Company based on an effective interest rate of 6.38% (including amortization of deferred issuance costs) over the full term of the Notes. The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company on or after January 24, 1996 at redemption prices ranging from 104.14% to 100%. The Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at any time, at a conversion price of $38 per share. A total of 2,572,368 shares of common stock are reserved for conversion. The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund. The fair value, based on dealer quotes, of the Notes as of January 30, 1994 and January 31, 1993 was $105.6 million and $102.6 million, respectively. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM In January 1992 the Company called for redemption all outstanding 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes. INCOME TAXES Effective February 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Prior years' financial statements have not been restated and the cumulative effect of adoption in 1993 had no material impact. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of deferred tax liabilities and assets as of January 30, 1994 are as follows (amounts in thousands): Deferred tax liabilities: Tax over book depreciation/amortization...................................................... $ 3,981 Other-net.................................................................................... 937 --------- Total deferred tax liabilities................................................................. 4,918 --------- Deferred tax assets: Tax inventory in excess of book inventory.................................................... 1,121 Accrued expenses not deductible until paid................................................... 2,385 Other-net.................................................................................... 987 --------- Total deferred tax assets...................................................................... 4,493 --------- Net deferred tax liabilities................................................................... $ 425 --------- --------- LIABILITY METHOD DEFERRED METHOD ----------- ---------------------- 1993 1992 1991 ----------- ----------- --------- (IN THOUSANDS) Income tax provision: Current................................................................. $ 16,210 $ 13,219 $ 8,594 Deferred................................................................ 147 (135) (1,574) ----------- ----------- --------- $ 16,357 $ 13,084 $ 7,020 ----------- ----------- --------- ----------- ----------- --------- Deferred income tax benefit: Tax depreciation greater (less) than book depreciation.................. $ 55 $ (448) Tax inventory less (greater) than book inventory........................ 95 (558) Accrued expenses not deductible until paid and other....................

STOCK OPTIONS All full-time employees are eligible to participate in the Michaels Stores, Inc. Key Employee Stock Compensation Program (the "Program"), as amended, under which 3,000,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance. Selected employees and key advisors, including directors, of the Company may participate in the 1992 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan of Michaels Stores, Inc. (the "Plan") under which 3,000,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance.

The Company has invested $15 million (fair market value of approximately $16.3 million at January 30, 1994) in an investment partnership managed by Maverick. The Company has the right to withdraw all or part of its investment at the end of any calendar quarter. The Company records gains and losses on its investment when realized by the partnership. Maverick also manages the Company's investments in marketable securities. The aggregate fair value of marketable securities as of January 30, 1994 was approximately $55.7 million and was estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes as of the last trading day of the fiscal year. The Company believes that the fees and allocations under the investment management and partnership agreements are comparable to those that would be charged to the Company by unaffiliated third parties for comparable arrangements. Fees of $436,000 were paid to Maverick during 1993, pursuant to these agreements. 28 MICHAELS STORES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) At January 31, 1993, securities that the Company intended to hold for more than one year were classified as long-term investments and were carried at cost. The fair value of the long-term portfolio was $81.9 million, and was estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Marketable securities held by the Company at January 30, 1994 will be classified as available-for-sale securities under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which the Company will adopt in the first quarter of 1994.
