BOOKS-A-MILLION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Books-A-Million, Inc., and its Subsidiary ("The Company") for the thirteen
and thirty-nine week periods ended November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995,
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and are presented in accordance
with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year
ended February 3, 1996, included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form
10-K. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
included herein contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, with the exception of the store closing charge described in
footnote 4 below) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position as of November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995, and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the thirteen and thirty-nine
week periods then ended.
The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience,
significant variability in sales and net income from quarter to quarter.
Therefore, the results of the interim periods presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim
period or the full year.
2. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share for the period is calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Common
stock equivalents, in the form of stock options, are excluded from the
calculation since they have no material dilutive effect on per share figures.
3. DEBT
During October, 1996, the Company amended its short-term credit
agreement (the "Facility") which increased the maximum borrowing availability
under the Facility to $20,000,000 from $10,000,000, and extended the
termination date of the Facility to June 30, 1997. The Company also has
$50,000,000 of borrowing availability under its existing revolving credit
facility (the "Revolving Facility"). The Company has total outstanding
borrowings of $49,755,000 as of November 2, 1996 under these Facilities,
which bear interest based on the LIBOR rate plus .75%, or pursuant to a
competitive bid facility, and have maturities of less than 12 months.
4. STORE CLOSING CHARGE
During the second quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company recorded a one-time
charge of $2.9 million for costs associated with the anticipated closing of
certain traditional mall-based bookstores. The consolidated statements of
income for the thirty-nine week period ended October 28, 1995, reflect this
store closing charge. The charge included amounts for lease termination
costs ($935,000), asset write-downs ($1,005,000) and other disposition costs
($1,005,000). As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1997, 20 stores
have been closed, resulting in asset write-downs of $909,000, lease
termination costs of $566,000 and other disposition costs of $878,000, all
of which were charged against the store closing reserve. Additional lease
termination payments related to the stores already closed in fiscal 1996 and
fiscal 1997 are expected to be incurred during fiscal 1997. The remaining
reserve for the store closing charge is included in accrued expenses under
current liabilities and is expected to be paid or settled within the 1997
fiscal year.
5. INCOME TAXES
The Company is currently being audited by the IRS. While the outcome of
the audit is not determinable at this time, the Company does not expect the
audit findings to have a material, adverse impact on the financial position
of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales increased 32.3% to $64.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended
November 2, 1996, from $48.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended October 28,
1995. Net sales increased 25.4% to $181.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks
ended November 2, 1996, from $144.8 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 28, 1995. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2,
1996, the increase in net sales resulted from net sales from new stores.
Comparable store sales decreased 1.6% for superstores and 2.4% for all stores
for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996, and they decreased 1.4% for
superstores and 2.3% for all stores for the thirteen weeks ended November 2,
1996. During the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996, eight superstores, one
combination store and one traditional store were opened and one combination
store was closed.
Gross profit increased $2.6 million or 20.1% to $15.6 million in the
thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996 from $13.0 million in the thirteen weeks
ended October 28, 1995, and in the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996,
gross profit increased 19.5% to $45.9 million from $38.4 million in the same
period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen
weeks ended November 2, 1996 decreased to 24.3% from 26.7% in the same period
last year. For the thirty-nine week period gross profit as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 25.3% from 26.5% in the same period last year. The
decreases in this percentage for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods
resulted primarily from changes in sales mix, as well as higher occupancy
costs as a percentage of net sales.
Operating, selling and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million or
23.2% to $12.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996 from $10.0
million in the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 1995, and in the thirty-nine
weeks ended November 2, 1996, operating, selling and administrative expenses
increased 22.4% to $34.7 million from $28.4 million in the same period last
year. Operating, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996 decreased to 19.0% from
20.5% in the same period last year. For the thirty-nine week period operating,
selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased
slightly to 19.1% from 19.6% in the same period last year. The decrease in
this percentage for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods was due primarily
to lower store selling expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Depreciation and amortization increased $.7 million or 44.7% to $2.5
million in the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996 from $1.8 million in the
thirteen weeks ended October 28, 1995, and in the thirty-nine week period
depreciation and amortization increased $2.2 million , or 47.5% to $6.9
million from $4.7 million in the same period last year. The increase in
depreciation and amortization is primarily the result of the increased number
of stores operated by the Company.
Interest expense was $843,000 in the thirteen weeks ended November 2,
1996, versus $232,000 for the same period last year, and in the thirty-nine
week period interest expense increased to $1.9 million from $.2 million in the
same period last year. This increase in interest expense resulted from
borrowings incurred due primarily to increased inventory and capital
expenditures related to new stores opened in the first nine months of fiscal
1997 and the last three months of fiscal 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1997, the Company's cash
requirements have been funded with net cash from operations and with borrowings
under the Company's credit facilities. Similar to many retailers, the
Company's business is seasonal, with its highest retail sales, gross profits
and net income traditionally occurring during the fourth fiscal quarter,
reflecting the increased demand for books and gifts during the year-end,
holiday selling season. Working capital requirements are generally highest
during the third fiscal quarter and the early part of the fourth fiscal quarter
due to the seasonality of the Company's business.
The Company has a revolving credit facility allowing borrowings up to $50
million for which no principal repayments are due until the facility expires on
October 27, 2000, and a one year working capital line of credit for $20
million, which is subject to annual renewal (see note 3 in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). Borrowings outstanding under these credit
facilities were $49,755,000 as of November 2, 1996. The borrowings bear
interest at variable rates. During fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995 the Company
financed the acquisition and construction of certain warehouse and distribution
facilities through loans obtained from the proceeds of an industrial
development revenue bond (the "Bond"), which are secured by a mortgage interest
in these facilities. As of November 2, 1996, there was $7.5 million of
borrowings outstanding under these loans at variable rates.

The Company's capital expenditures totaled $15.3 million during the first
thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1997. These expenditures were primarily used to
open new stores, to perform renovations and improvements to existing stores and
to continue investments in management information systems. Management
estimates that capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 1997 will be
approximately $11.0 million, and that such amounts will be used primarily for
new stores, renovations and remodeling of certain existing stores and
investments in management information systems. Management believes that
existing cash reserves and net cash from operating activities, together with
borrowings under the Company's credit facilities, will be adequate to finance
the Company's planned capital expenditures and to meet the Company's working
capital requirements for the remainder of fiscal 1997.
RELATED PARTY ACTIVITIES
Certain principal stockholders of the Company have controlling ownership
interests in other entities with which the Company conducts business.
Significant transactions between the Company and these various other entities
(described as "related parties") are summarized in the following paragraph.
The Company purchases a portion of its inventories for resale from related
parties; such purchases amounted to $20.6 million and $13.5 million in the
thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 and October 28, 1995, respectively.
This increase in related party purchases is primarily due to the sales growth
the Company has experienced. The Company sells a portion of its inventories to
related parties; such sales amounted to $5.2 million and $4.2 million in the
thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996, and October 28, 1995, respectively.
This increase in related party sales is primarily due to the sales growth the
Company has experienced. Management believes these related party
purchases and sales do not have a significant impact on gross profit.
FINANCIAL POSITION
During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996, the Company opened 19
superstores. The store openings resulted in increased inventory, property and
equipment and debt balances at November 2, 1996, as compared to February 3,
1996.
