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
week period ended May 3, 1997, 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 1, 1997, included in
the Company's 1997 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)
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position as of May 3, 1997, and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the thirteen week period 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 AND LINES OF CREDIT
The Company amended its revolving credit facility and working capital
line of credit effective June 4, 1997. The amended credit facilities
increased the maximum allowable borrowings to $100 million, from $70
million (see the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition for more
details).
4. PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
per Share". This statement supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion
("APB") No. 15. SFAS No. 128 is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 1997, and early adoption is prohibited. The Company will
properly adopt SFAS No. 128 for fiscal year ending January 31, 1998 annual
reporting. Adoption of this statement will not affect the reported
earnings per share of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
OF 1995
Certain of the statements set forth herein with respect to store
openings and closings, the profitability of certain product lines,
capital expenditures and future liquidity are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Such statements are based on management's current intentions, assumptions
and projections and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include,
among other things, unanticipated increases in merchandise, salary and
distribution costs and the effects of increased competition on specific
stores and the Company generally.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales increased 20.6% to $68.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended
May 3, 1997, from $56.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 1996.
The increase in net sales resulted primarily from net sales from new
stores. Comparable store sales increased 1.0% for superstores and increased
0.6% for all stores for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997. During the
thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997, two superstores were opened.
Gross profit increased $2.8 million or 19.4% to $17.5 million in the
thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 from $14.7 million in the thirteen weeks
ended May 4, 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the
thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 was 25.7% versus 26.0% in the same period
last year. The slight decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily
due to a change in merchandise sales mix.
Operating, selling and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million or
24.5% to $13.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 from $10.6
million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 1996. Operating, selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen weeks
ended May 3, 1997 increased to 19.4% from 18.8% in the same period last
year. The increase in this percentage for the thirteen week period was due
primarily to higher store selling expenses as a percentage of net sales.
Depreciation and amortization increased $.6 million or 30.4% to $2.7
million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 from $2.1 million in the
thirteen weeks ended May 4, 1996. The increase in depreciation and
amortization is primarily the result of the increased number of superstores
operated by the Company.
Interest expense was $1.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 3,
1997, versus interest expense of $.4 million for 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 quarter of fiscal 1998 and the last nine months
of fiscal 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first thirteen weeks of fiscal 1998, 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 amended its revolving credit facility and working capital
line of credit effective June 4, 1997. The amended credit facilities
increased the maximum allowable borrowings to $100 million, from $70
million. Borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities were
$55,406,000 as of May 3, 1997. 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 May 3, 1997, there was $7.5
million of borrowings outstanding under these loans at variable rates.
The Company's capital expenditures totaled $2.2 million during the first
thirteen weeks of fiscal 1998. These expenditures were primarily used to
open new stores and to perform renovations and improvements to existing
stores. Management estimates that capital expenditures for the remainder of
fiscal 1998 will be approximately $15.8 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 1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 $9.1 million and $6.8 million
in the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996, 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 $1.3 million and $2.2 million in
the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996, respectively. This
decrease in related party sales is primarily due to the timing of sales of
bargain books to related parties. Management believes these related party
purchases and sales do not have a significant impact on gross profit.
FINANCIAL POSITION
During the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1997, the Company opened two
superstores. Inventory and debt balances at May 3, 1997 increased as
compared to February 1, 1997 due to seasonal fluctuations in inventory
levels and the two new superstores opened during the quarter. The store
openings also resulted in increased property and equipment balances at May
3, 1997, as compared to February 1, 1997.
