(1) Relates to the closure of seven U.S. stores, two of which were closed
    during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, one during February 2002 and
    a further four due for closure prior to January 2003.
(2) Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss)
    available to ordinary shareholders, by the weighted average number of
    ordinary shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing
    net income (loss) available to ordinary shareholders, by the weighted
    average number of ordinary shares and dilutive ordinary share equivalents
    for the period. In calculating the dilutive effect of share options, we use
    the treasury stock method.
(3) Excludes three Military concession stores and the e-Commerce site.
(4) For stores open at beginning of period indicated.
(5) The number of comparable stores used to compute such percentages was 25,
    33, 43, 52 and 62, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1998, 1999, 2000,
    2001 and 2002, respectively.
(6) The number of comparable stores used to compute such percentages was 34,
    33, 33, 35 and 35, for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1998, 1999, 2000,
    2001 and 2002, respectively.

Exchange Rates

   The Australian dollar is convertible into U.S. dollars at freely floating
rates, and there are currently no restrictions on the flow of Australian
currency between Australia and the United States. On January 31, 2002, the Noon
Buying Rate was US$0.5072 = A$1.00. The following table sets forth, for the
periods indicated, certain information concerning Noon Buying Rates for
Australian dollars.

   Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the U.S.
dollar may affect our earnings, the book value of our assets and shareholders'
equity as expressed in Australian and U.S. dollars, and consequently may affect
the market price for the ADSs. Such fluctuations will also affect the
conversion into U.S. dollars by the Depositary of cash dividends, if any, paid
in Australian dollars on the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs. See "Item
9--The Offer and Listing--Price Range of our ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market(R)
("Nasdaq")" and "Item 10. Additional Information--D. Exchange
Control--Restrictions on Foreign Ownership; Antitakeover Restrictions."

D.  RISK FACTORS

   The following are certain factors that you should consider when evaluating
our business, financial conditions and results of operations. However, these
factors are not exclusive and you are urged to consider the statements made
elsewhere in this Annual Report and in our other publicly filed documents.

Failure to hire, train and retain competent managers and personnel could have a
material adverse affect on our business.

   If we determined or were required, to close a Barbeques Galore store, we
would attempt to sublet the vacated store space in order to cover ongoing lease
costs. Even if we were able to sublet such store, we may incur significant
costs in writing off leasehold improvements. In addition, when we embark on
expansion, it will result in increased demand on our managerial, operational
and administrative resources. We must be able to hire, train and retain
competent managers and personnel and manage the systems and operational
components when we grow. Our failure to attract and retain qualified management
and personnel or appropriately adjust operational systems and procedures, would
adversely affect our future operating results.

Weakening economic conditions may have an adverse affect on our business and
results of operation.

   The success of our operations depends upon a number of factors related to
consumer spending, including future economic conditions affecting disposable
consumer income such as employment, business conditions, interest rates and
taxation. If the economic conditions of 2001 were to continue, or deteriorate,
consumer spending may decline, thereby adversely affecting our business and
results of operations. These adverse affects may be exacerbated by the
significant current regional concentration of our business in Australia and the
Pacific West, Southwestern and East coast U.S. markets.

Changing merchandise trends, consumer demands or product quality, could
adversely affect our sales.

   Our success depends on our ability to anticipate and respond to changing
merchandise trends and consumer demands in a timely manner. We believe we have
benefited from a lifestyle trend towards consumers spending more quality time
together in outdoor family gatherings and social activities. Any change in this
trend could adversely affect consumer interest in our major product lines.
Moreover, our products must appeal to a broad cross-section of consumers whose
preferences (as to product features such as colors, styles, finishes and fuel
types) cannot always be predicted with certainty and may change between sales
seasons. If we misjudge either the market for our merchandise or our customers'
purchasing habits, we may experience a material decline in sales or be required
to sell inventory at reduced margins. We could also suffer a loss of customer
goodwill if our manufacturing sources or stores, do not adhere to our quality
control or service procedures or otherwise fail to ensure satisfactory quality
of our products. These outcomes may have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results and financial condition.

If we fail to execute certain operational changes, our ability to implement our
business strategies would be adversely affected.

   We have identified a number of areas for improvement in our operations which
will have a significant impact on our business strategies. In addition, when we
expand into new regions, we may need additional warehouse capacity. We may in
the future, need to secure further distribution centers, expand our current
warehouse facilities in the United States or utilize public warehousing space,
in each case depending on availability and cost at such time. We cannot assure
you as to whether or when we will be able to effect any expansion or
replacement of distribution facilities, or any other necessary operational
changes that may arise, or that we will not incur cost overruns or disruptions
in our operations in connection therewith. Our failure to effect these and any
other necessary operational changes on a timely basis would adversely affect
our expense structure and, therefore, our business, financial condition and
operating results.

Intense competition in our market could prevent us from increasing or
sustaining our revenues.

   The retail and distribution markets for barbecues and our other product
offerings are highly competitive in both the United States and Australia. Our
retail operations compete against a wide variety of retailers, including mass
merchandisers, discount or outlet stores, department stores, hardware stores,
home improvement centers, specialty patio, fireplace or cooking stores,
warehouse clubs, web sites and mail order companies. Our manufacturing and
wholesale operations compete with many other manufacturers and distributors
throughout the world, including high-volume manufacturers of barbecues and home
heaters. We compete for retail customers primarily based on our broad
assortment of competitively priced, quality products (including proprietary and
exclusive products), convenience, customer service and the attractive
presentation of merchandise within our stores and on our web site. Many of our
competitors have greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources
than we do and, particularly in the United States, may have greater name
recognition than us. Furthermore, the lack of significant barriers to entry
into our segment of the retail industry may also result in new competition in
the future. If we fail to compete effectively, we may be unable to increase our
market share or our market share may decline which could adversely affect our
revenues.

Our revenues fluctuate from period to period and are subject to various factors
including seasonality and weather.

   Our business is subject to substantial seasonal variations which have caused
and are expected to continue to cause, our quarterly results of operations to
fluctuate significantly. Historically, we have realized a major portion of our
net sales and a substantial portion of our net income for the year during
summer months and holiday seasons when consumers are more likely to purchase
barbecue products, camping equipment, outdoor furniture and other backyard
products. In anticipation of our peak selling seasons (late spring and early
summer), we substantially increase our inventory levels and hire a significant
number of part-time and temporary employees. In non-peak periods, particularly
in late winter in the United States and early fall in Australia, we regularly
experience monthly losses. In order to partially offset the effects of
seasonality, we operate in both the Southern and Northern hemispheres, which
have opposite seasons and offer fireplace products and (in Australia) home
heaters, in the fall and winter months. However, sales of any of our major
product lines (in particular home heaters), may vary widely in peak seasons
depending on, among other things, prevailing weather patterns, local climate
conditions, actions by competitors and shifts in timing of holidays. Our
quarterly and annual results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as
a result of a variety of other factors, including the timing of new store
openings, releases of new products and changes in merchandise mix throughout
the year. We have in the past, experienced quarterly losses, particularly in
our fiscal first quarter, and expect to experience such losses in the future.
Because of these fluctuations in operating results, the results of operations
in any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that we may
achieve for a full fiscal year or any future quarter. If for any reason our
sales or gross margins during peak seasons or periods were substantially below
expectations, our quarterly and annual results would be adversely affected.

Our failure to maintain and upgrade core computer systems which operate and
monitor all major aspects of our business could have a material adverse effect
upon our business.

   We rely on certain management information systems to obtain daily sales
information from our stores and to operate and monitor all major aspects of our
business.

   Our Head Office Information Systems process all distribution, warehouse
management, inventory control, purchasing, merchandising, financial and office
automation applications. Each store has PC-based point-of-sale ("POS")
registers which manage all sales transactions and store based purchasing
transactions. The store check out registers are networked to an In-Store
Processor ("ISP") located in the back office of each store. At the end of each
day's processing, the data from each register is consolidated onto the ISP
which has an attached modem and which is polled daily to upload the data to the
head office system. We rely upon our management information systems in
operating and monitoring all major aspects of our business, including sales,
gross profits,

                                      5

<PAGE>

warehousing, distribution, purchasing, inventory control, financial accounting
and human resources. Any disruption in the operation of our management
information systems, or our failure to continue to upgrade, integrate or expend
capital on such systems as our business expands, could have a material adverse
effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our success depends on several of our directors, senior management and
employees, and they may not remain with us in the future.

   Our success is largely dependent on the efforts and abilities of our
directors, senior management and employees, particularly, Sam Linz, Chairman of
the Board, Robert Gavshon, Deputy Chairman of the Board, John Price, Head of
Product Management and Development and Director, and Sydney Selati, Director
and President of Barbeques Galore, Inc., our U.S. operating subsidiary. These
individuals have an average of 19 years of experience with us and have chief
responsibility for the development of our current business. We do not have
employment contracts with any of our directors, senior management and
employees. The loss of the services of these individuals or other key employees
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition.

We face business, political and economic risk because we transact business
outside of the United States.

   Barbeques Galore, with its headquarters, manufacturing, enameling, wholesale
and non-U.S. store operations in Australia, transacts a large proportion of its
business in Australia and obtains a significant portion of its merchandise,
parts and raw materials from China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Italy and
other markets outside of the United States and Australia. There are risks
inherent in doing business in international markets, including:

  .   tariffs;

  .   customs duties and other trade barriers;

  .   difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

  .   political instability, expropriation, nationalization and other political
      risks;

  .   foreign exchange controls, technology, export and import restrictions or
      prohibitions;

  .   the difficulties of compliance with foreign laws and regulations;

  .   delays from customs brokers or government agencies;

  .   seasonal reductions in business activity;

  .   subjection to multiple taxation regimes and potentially adverse tax
      consequences; and

  .   acts of terrorism.

   Any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.

We rely on a few significant vendors and suppliers who may discontinue selling
to us at any time.

   We purchase certain of our finished inventory and manufacturing parts and
all of our raw materials from numerous vendors and suppliers and generally have
no long-term purchase contracts with any vendor or supplier. During the twelve
months ended January 31, 2002, we purchased inventory from over 500 vendors in
the United States, Australia and Asia. In such period, approximately 25% of our
merchandise purchases were obtained from our ten largest vendors. Although no
vendor accounted for more than 5% of our merchandise purchases in such period,
we consider certain barbecue brands to be significant to our business,
especially in the United States. Also during such period, we purchased barbecue
and home heater parts from over 90 suppliers in Asia, Australia and North
America. Sheet Metal Supplies Pty Limited ("SMS"), a steel distributor, Bromic
Pty Limited

                                      6

<PAGE>

("Bromic"), an Australian gas components importer and Sandvik Australia Pty
Limited ("Sandvik"), a stainless steel distributor, supplied us with
approximately 14%, 9% and 9% respectively, of our factory parts and raw
material purchases during this period and approximately 64% of our factory
parts and raw material purchases were obtained from our ten largest suppliers.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected by a disruption in
purchases from any of these key vendors or suppliers or from volatility in the
prices of, or tariffs imposed on, such parts or raw materials, especially
steel, which has fluctuated in the past. In addition, some of our key suppliers
currently provide us with certain purchasing incentives, such as volume rebates
and trade discounts. A reduction or discontinuance of these incentives could
have an adverse effect on our business.

Our products and the personal use thereof are subject to certain government
regulations which could influence product liability claims and impact the
manner in which we distribute our products.

   Many of our products use gas and flame and, consequently, are subject to
regulation by authorities in both the United States and Australia in order to
protect consumers, property and the environment. For example, our products and
their personal use are subject to regulations relating to, among other things,
the use of fire in certain locations (particularly restrictions relating to the
availability or frequency of use of wood heating in homes and barbecues in
apartments), restrictions on the sale or use of products that enhance burning
potential such as lighter fluid, restrictions on the use of gas in specified
locations (particularly restrictions relating to the use of gas containers in
confined spaces) and restrictions on the use of wood burning heaters. Such
regulations have had, and can be expected to have, an increasing influence on
product claims, manufacturing, contents, packaging and heater usage. We cannot
assure you that certain jurisdictions in which we operate will not impose
additional restrictions on the sale or use of our products. Such restrictions
may negatively impact our sales and cause our business to suffer.

Product liability claims could materially adversely affect our customer
relations and costs.

   Failure of a product could give rise to product liability claims if
customers, employees or third parties are injured or any of their property is
damaged while using one or more of our products. Such injury could be caused,
for example, by a gas valve malfunction, gas leak or an unanticipated flame-up
resulting in injury to persons and/or property. In the event of such an
occurrence, we could incur substantial litigation expense, receive adverse
publicity, suffer a loss of sales or all or any of the foregoing. Even if such
circumstances were beyond our control, our business, operating results and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Although we
maintain liability insurance in both Australia and the United States, we cannot
assure you that such insurance will provide sufficient coverage in any
particular case.

One of our former insurance providers has been placed into liquidation and the
impact of this on our insurance coverage is unclear.

   We placed a major portion of our insurance policies with HIH Casualty and
General Insurance Limited ("HIH") during the 12 months ending June 30, 2001 and
earlier periods. HIH Insurance Limited and 17 of its subsidiaries ("HIH Group")
have been placed into liquidation. We have replaced these insurance policies
with other insurers and have no material claims against us on foot in relation
to the period during which we were covered by HIH. Furthermore, to the best of
our knowledge and belief, we are unaware of any further material claims which
may arise against us in relation to any events during the period we were
covered by HIH. It is also unknown at this stage when and what amounts, if any,
would be recoverable from the Liquidators of the HIH Group were such claims to
arise.

Our manufacturing and enameling operations are subject to government
regulations.

   Our barbecue and home heater manufacturing and enameling operations are
subject to regulations governing product safety and quality, the discharge of
materials hazardous to the environment, water usage, workplace safety and labor
relations. Our distribution facilities are also subject to workplace safety and
labor relations

                                      7

<PAGE>

regulations. As a barbecue and barbecue accessories store, we sell lighter
fluid, lighters, matches and similar products which may be considered flammable
when in contact with open flame or activated. Our sale of certain products may
result in technical violations of certain of our leases which prohibit the sale
of flammable materials in or on the leased premises. Over our operating
history, we have made our landlords aware that we sell these products. To date,
no landlord has terminated or threatened termination of any lease due to these
sales. Violations of these regulations and restrictions could have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

We depend on third-party carriers to distribute our products.

   We manufacture, or have manufactured for us, a substantial portion of the
barbecues and home heaters that we sell in our stores. We distribute
merchandise to our stores primarily from our distribution centers located at
our headquarters in Australia, in Irvine, California and Charlotte, North
Carolina. In distributing merchandise, we rely upon third-party sea carriers to
ship our manufactured products from Australia to the United States, as well as
third-party surface freight carriers to transport all of our merchandise from
our distribution centers and warehouses to our stores. Accordingly, we are
subject to numerous risks associated with the distribution of our merchandise,
including:

  .   mechanical risks;

  .   labor stoppages or strikes;

  .   inclement weather;

  .   import regulation; and

  .   changes in fuel prices.

   In addition, we believe that, while our distribution facilities are
sufficient to meet our current needs, we may need another distribution center
or larger facilities in the United States or Australia to support the further
growth and expansion of stores.

Failure of our franchisees and licensees to adhere to our standards could
adversely affect customer loyalty and diminish our brand name and reputation.

   As of January 31, 2002, there were 50 licensed stores in Australia and nine
franchised stores in the United States, all of which are operated under the
"Barbeques Galore" name by independent licensees or franchisees to whom we sell
proprietary and other store products, and provide support services. The
licensees and franchisees operate such stores pursuant to agreements which
typically permit licensees and franchisees to assign the agreements to their
immediate family and provide the licensees and franchisees with exclusive
geographical sales territories. We monitor our licensed and franchised stores
to assure their conformity to our standards and image and require the licensees
and franchisees to comply with Barbeques Galore's merchandising and advertising
guidelines. Serious or protracted failures by licensees or franchisees to
adhere to our standards could adversely affect customer loyalty and diminish
our brand name or reputation for quality products and services, and could
require us to devote significant management attention and resources to
enforcing our rights under such agreements. Conversely, if we fail to provide
adequate support services or otherwise breach our contractual obligations to
any licensee or franchisee, such failure or breach could result in termination
of, or litigation relating to, the relevant licensing or franchise agreement
and the loss of fees and sales revenue.

   The majority of the licensing agreements in Australia are terminable at will
(absent fraud) by the licensees only, generally upon ninety days' notice.

                                      8

Foreign currency fluctuations could adversely affect our results.

   We prepare our consolidated financial statements in Australian dollars but a
substantial portion of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S.
dollars and, to a lesser extent, other foreign currencies. Accordingly, we are
subject to risks of currency exchange to the extent of currency fluctuations
between the Australian dollar and the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which
we transact our business. This currency imbalance has resulted in, and may
continue to result in, foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Our
Australian operations generally hedge a major portion of their imports against
exchange rate fluctuations with respect to the Australian dollar.

   However, in our U.S. operations, we have not, and currently do not, actively
hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, although we may elect to do so in the
future. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may have a material adverse
effect on our net sales, cost of goods sold, gross profit and net income
(loss), any of which alone or in the aggregate may in turn have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Such
currency issues could, thus, affect the market price for the ADSs. We may pay
dividends on the Ordinary Shares or the ADSs in the future and accordingly, the
above exchange rate fluctuations would affect the conversion into U.S. dollars
(for payment to holders of ADSs) by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company as
Depositary, of any cash dividends paid in Australian dollars on the Ordinary
Shares represented by the ADSs. See "Item 3. Key Information--A. Selected
Financial Data--Exchange Rates" and "Item 9. The Offer and Listing--Price Range
of our ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market(R) ("Nasdaq")."

ITEM 4.  INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY

A.  HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COMPANY

   We opened our first store in Sydney, Australia in 1977 to serve an unfilled
niche in the retail market for versatile, well-designed barbecues and
incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia as a limited
liability company on June 16, 1982. Since then, we have become the leading
barbecue retailer in Australia, with a high consumer awareness level and an
approximately 30% retail market share. In 1980, we opened our first U.S. store
in Los Angeles.

   During the 1980s, we vertically integrated our operations by expanding into
barbecue manufacturing in order to capture higher margins, control product
development and improve inventory flexibility and supply. Fireplace products
and, in Australia, home heaters were added to take advantage of the winter
selling season. We further diversified our product line through the addition of
camping equipment and outdoor furniture in Australia and other backyard
products in both the United States and Australia, all of which complement our
main barbecue line. Information concerning principal capital expenditure
currently in progress, the distribution of these investments geographically and
the method of financing is set out in "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review
and Prospects--B. Liquidity and Capital Resources."

   In April 1987, we listed our Ordinary Shares on the ASE. In October 1996, as
part of our plans to accelerate new store expansion in the United States, we
announced our intention to repurchase shares from the public, delist from the
ASE (pursuant to a transaction which was consummated as of December 31, 1996)
and to seek capital in the United States. We consummated our initial public
offering (the "Offering") in the United States in November 1997.

   Our principal executive and registered offices are located at 327 Chisholm
Road, Auburn, NSW 2144, Australia. Our telephone number is 61 2 9704 4177. Our
Internet addresses are www.bbqgalore.com and www.barbequesgalore.com.au.

B.  BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Description of Business

   We believe we are the leading specialty retail chain of barbecue and
barbecue accessory stores in Australia and the United States, having regard to
the number of stores and sales volume. We also base this belief on our years of
experience in the barbecue retail industry as well as our contacts with other
industry retailers, suppliers and trade associations. Our stores carry a wide
assortment of barbecues and related accessories displayed in a format that
emphasizes social activities and healthy outdoor lifestyles in addition to a
comprehensive line of fireplace products and certain backyard products and, in
Australia, home heating products, camping equipment, outdoor furniture and
backyard products. As of January 31, 2002, we owned and operated 34 stores in
all six states in Australia as well as two wood heating outlets in Tasmania,
Australia and 66 stores (including three U.S. Military concession stores) in
ten states in the United States. In addition, as of such date, there were 50
licensed stores in Australia and nine franchised stores in the United States,
all of which operate under the "Barbeques Galore" name.

   Our unique retailing concept differentiates us from our competitors by:

      (i) offering an extensive selection of barbecues and related accessories
          to suit all consumer lifestyles, preferences and price points;

     (ii) showcasing these products at convenient store locations with a
          shopping environment that promotes the total barbecuing experience;
          and

    (iii) providing exceptional customer service through well-trained sales
          associates who have in-depth knowledge of the products and
          understanding of customer needs.

   Our barbecue and home heater manufacturing operations enhance these
competitive strengths and strategic alliances, which enable us to realize
higher margins, control product development and improve inventory flexibility
and supply.

   In the United States, our strategy for the immediate future, is to
consolidate our existing store base and increase market share through our
traditional product categories and the introduction of certain backyard
products. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2002, we grew from 64 to
66 company-owned stores (including three U.S. Military concession stores),
representing a 3% increase in the number of company-owned stores in the United
States.

   In Australia, our strategy is to grow market share in our traditional
categories, streamline our camping offer and introduce backyard products in an
inviting merchandizing environment. In the area of manufacturing, our strategy
is to strengthen our strategic alliances with overseas manufacturers.

   The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of
our main categories of product sold:

Information Systems

   In the United States, we have installed a JDA Software Group Inc. (''JDA'')
system on an IBM AS400 platform which allows us to manage distribution,
inventory control, purchasing, sales analysis, warehousing and financial
applications. At the store level, we have installed POS computer terminals as
our cash registers in all stores. Each POS terminal is equipped with a bar code
scanner for ease of product input and validation with each store's transaction
data being captured by our POS terminals and transferred into the main JDA
system daily. The JDA system provides extensive reporting and inquiry
capability at both the store and corporate levels, including daily transaction
data, gross profit information, exception analysis and stock levels.
Additionally, the system permits inventory and pricing updates to be
electronically transmitted to the stores on a daily basis.

   In Australia, we have installed a SUN Systems Ultra 60 running a UNIX
environment and a Microsoft NT Serverfor all our desktop applications with the
Microsoft suite of software. The POS system in all company-owned stores runs a
Windows NT network with IBM Pentium PCs acting as POS registers. The store
checkout registers are networked to an In-Store Processor ("ISP") located in
the back office of each store. This makes consolidated data of each store's
activity readily available on the ISP which is polled daily to transfer the
captured store data back to head office for integration into the head office
system. SVI Solutions, Inc., a U.S. based software company specializing in
retail solution software, supplied the POS application software.

   We are currently in the process of implementing two distinct software
modules from Berger Software Pty Limited, known respectively as Distribution
Requirements Planning ("DRP") and Paperless Warehouse Management System,
operating through the use of Radio Frequency ("RF") devices which are either
handheld or attached to forklift trucks.

   The DRP (scheduled to "go live" in May 2002):

  .   switches the emphasis from 'when to order' to a more functional and
      practical 'when do we really need it'; and

  .   balances supply against demand for every product in each period for a
      given planning horizon.

   The RF devices which operate with bar-coding technology, will increase
warehouse throughput and efficiencies and, together with DRP outlined earlier,
are anticipated to yield substantial benefits to us.

   In addition, we are finalizing the update of our POS software to the latest
Australian version, supplied by SVI Retail Pty Limited (Receiver and Manager
Appointed) and which will run on the existing hardware with effect from May
2002; in consequence thereof, several operations previously performed manually,
will now be computerized, resulting in improved service levels to our stores.
We do not foreshadow any difficulties with on-going software maintenance.

Seasonality; Weather; Fluctuations in Results

   Our business is subject to substantial seasonal variations which have
caused, and are expected to continue to cause, our quarterly results of
operations to fluctuate significantly. Historically, we have realized a major
portion of our net sales and a substantial portion of our net income (loss) for
the year during summer months and holiday seasons when consumers are more
likely to purchase barbecue products, camping equipment and outdoor furniture.
In anticipation of our peak selling seasons (late spring and early summer), we
substantially increase our inventory levels and hire a significant number of
part-time and temporary employees. In non-peak periods, particularly in late
winter in the United States and early fall in Australia, we regularly
experience monthly losses. These seasonal trends result in our experiencing a
loss during our first fiscal quarter.

   We believe this is the general pattern associated with our segment of the
retail industry and expect this pattern will continue in the future. In order
to partially offset the effects of seasonality, we operate in both the Southern
and Northern hemispheres which have opposite seasons. Additionally, we offer
fireplace products and (in Australia), home heaters in the fall and winter
months. However, sales of any of our major product lines (in particular, home
heaters) may vary widely in peak seasons depending on, among other things,
prevailing weather patterns, local climate conditions, actions by competitors
and shifts in timing of holidays. Our quarterly and annual results of
operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of other
factors, including the timing of new store openings, releases of new products
and changes in merchandise mix throughout the year. We have in the past,
experienced quarterly losses, particularly in our fiscal first quarter, and
expect to experience such losses in the future. Because of these fluctuations
in operating results, the results of operations in any quarter are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal
year or any future quarter. If for any reason our sales or gross margins during
peak seasons or periods were substantially below expectations, our quarterly
and annual results would be adversely affected.

Manufacturing

   In our Australian factory facilities, we manufacture barbecues under our
proprietary Turbo, Capt'N Cook, Cook-On and Bar-B-Chef brands and certain
private label brands, as well as home heaters under our proprietary Norseman,
Kent and Saxon brands. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2002,
proprietary barbecue retail sales represented approximately 29% and 23% of our
total net sales in the United States and Australia, respectively. We believe
that controlling our own manufacturing operations allows us to realize higher
margins, control product development and improve inventory flexibility and
supply. Our manufacturing operations are closely coordinated with our product
management and development activities. We have a product management and
development team which is dedicated to barbecue market analysis and product
development. The ten members of this product management and development team
have an average of over 16 years of industry experience. The team continuously
studies sales data, customer feedback, consumer trends and product designs,
working closely with our other departments (in both the United States and
Australia) and suppliers, to develop the annual Barbeques Galore product line.
We expended approximately A$1.1 million during the twelve-month period ended
January 31, 2002, on product management and development activities.

   Our factory in Sydney, Australia, manufactures fully welded barbecue frames,
roasting hoods, barbecue carts and solid fuel home heaters. Products are
enameled, powder coated or painted, depending on demand. The gas manifolds are
assembled by hand and tested individually for compliance to Australian Gas
Association, American Gas Association and European Union, requirements. On
completion of the decorative surface finishing, fabricated products are
delivered to the assembly plant where they are assembled and packed. In certain
cases, product is shipped to our U.S. distribution centers for assembly.

   We believe that our existing manufacturing, enameling and powder coating
operations are sufficient to meet any production increases that may arise in
the future. In addition, we are, as mentioned earlier, developing strategic
alliances with overseas manufacturers, particularly in China, for the
production of certain of our barbecues.

                                      12

<PAGE>

   During fiscal 2002, we also cemented our position as Australia's leading
wood heater manufacturer and distributor with the acquisition of Saxon Wood
Heaters, which we believe will make a positive contribution to our performance.
The purchase added to our existing manufacturing business and brought two
well-reputed brand names, "Saxon" and "Austwood", to the Barbeques Galore line
of self-manufactured products.

Purchasing

   We believe we have good relationships with our merchandise vendors and
suppliers of parts and raw materials and do not anticipate that, as the number
of our stores or our manufacturing volume increases, there will be any
significant difficulty in obtaining adequate sources of supply in a timely
manner and on satisfactory economic terms.

   Retail.  We deal with our merchandise vendors principally on an
order-by-order basis and do not maintain any long-term purchase contracts with
any vendor. Merchandise is purchased for our U.S. and Australian stores by our
central buying staffs in our respective headquarters. In selecting merchandise,
the buying staffs obtain input from a variety of sources, including our product
management and development team, store employees, focus groups, customer
surveys, industry conventions and trade shows. During the twelve months ended
January 31, 2002, we purchased our inventory from over 500 vendors in the
United States, Australia and Asia. No single vendor accounted for more than 5%
of merchandise purchases during this period, although we consider certain
barbecue brands to be significant to our business, especially in the United
States. We do not believe that the loss of any single brand, including those
made by Weber-Stephen Products Co., Dynamic Cooking Systems or Onward
Multi-Corp., would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Approximately 25% of our merchandise purchases were obtained in such period
from our ten largest vendors. See "Item 3. Key Information--D. Risk Factors."

   Manufacturing.  We also purchase parts and raw materials for use in our
manufacturing and enameling operations. During the twelve months ended January
31, 2002, our buying staffs purchased barbecue and home heater parts from over
90 suppliers in Asia, Australia and North America. No single supplier accounted
for more than 5% of factory parts and raw material purchases during this
period, other than SMS, Bromic and Sandvik which accounted for approximately
14%, 9% and 9% of these purchases, respectively. We do not have formal supply
contracts with any of our suppliers and in the case of SMS, prices are fixed
for a year in advance. Other major suppliers of barbecue components included
G.L.G. Trading Pte. Limited ("GLG"), a Singapore company which acted as a
buying office for Barbeques Galore and other third parties, purchasing grills,
burners and other products directly from factories in China and Taiwan until
cessation of those activities on December 31, 2001. The buying office has been
dismantled and the administration of Asian purchases is currently being handled
from Hong Kong. We have a 50% ownership interest in GLG and a one-third
ownership interest in Bromic. Approximately 64% of our factory parts and raw
material purchases were obtained in such twelve-month period from our ten
largest suppliers. In order to set production budgets, the price of certain
parts and raw materials such as steel, is negotiated and fixed well in advance
of production usage. We use back-up suppliers to ensure competitive pricing. In
addition, some of our key suppliers currently provide us with certain
purchasing incentives, such as volume rebates and trade discounts. See "Item 3.
Key Information--D. Risk Factors."

Distribution

   We currently maintain a 57,000 square foot distribution center at our U.S.
headquarters in Irvine, California, a 27,000 square foot distribution center in
Charlotte, North Carolina and a 172,000 square foot combined distribution and
warehousing facility as part of our Australian headquarters. The additional
company-owned space acquired, eliminated the necessity to utilize significant
public warehousing space in Sydney, in the foreseeable future. We also use
smaller warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, Australia (operated by
independent distributors), for our retail, licensee and wholesale distribution
operations and lease additional public warehouse space in Orange County,
California and Dallas County, Texas, for short terms, as necessary.

                                      13

<PAGE>

   Commencing May 2002, Barbeques Galore, Inc. will be relocating its Irvine
distribution center to a 98,821 square foot facility in Ontario, California.
This move has been necessitated entirely due to the existing physical
constraints and is anticipated to result in enhanced distribution efficiencies.

   Vendors and suppliers deliver merchandise to our distribution facilities
and, in certain instances, directly to stores, where it is inspected and logged
into our centralized inventory management systems. Merchandise is then shipped
by our trucks or third party surface freight weekly or twice weekly, thereby
providing stores with a steady flow of merchandise. Shipments by our Australian
operations to our Irvine distribution center are made by third party sea
freight, so that our Irvine distribution center can maintain about two months
of Company-manufactured inventory at all times, which we believe is sufficient
to meet expected U.S. store requirements for such products.

   We maintain separate inventory management systems in Australia and the
United States which allow us to closely monitor sales and track in-store
inventory. Current plans include the introduction of an automated store
inventory replenishment system in order to better manage our inventory. We
estimate that our inventory shrinkage represents no more than 0.5% of our
aggregate retail sales. We and our advisors are not aware of any barbecue
industry source from which an industry average shrinkage rate can be derived.
However, we believe that the general shrinkage rate for retailers is
approximately 1.5% to 2.0% of retail sales and that our rate compares favorably
to that of other retailers.

   As we expand into new regions, we may eventually need additional warehouse
capacity. In order to meet such needs and to minimize the impact of freight
costs, we may secure another distribution center, expand our current warehouse
facilities in the United States or utilize public warehousing space. We believe
that there is an ample supply of warehousing space available at commercially
reasonable rates. Wherever possible, we also solicit the cooperation of our
vendors, through drop shipments to public warehouses and/or stores, in order to
reduce our freight and handling costs. We believe that our existing Australian
distribution arrangements, together with public warehousing space as needed,
are sufficient to meet our current needs.

Wholesale Operations

   In Australia, we distribute proprietary and private brand name products and
other imported merchandise, on a wholesale basis, through a wholly-owned
Australian subsidiary, Pricotech Leisure Brands Pty Ltd. ("Pricotech").
Wholesale products offered by Pricotech include Cook-On barbecues, Companion
gas camping equipment, Igloo coolers and Kent and Saxon, home heaters.
Pricotech distributes these products primarily to Australian mass merchants,
chains and buying groups. Customers typically buy these products based on
price. In the twelve months ended January 31, 2002, the five largest customers
of Pricotech accounted for approximately 71% of its net sales of A$24.8
million. Our wholesale operations, in which our investment consists primarily
of inventory and receivables, sources the majority of its inventory from
overseas manufacturers.

Licensing and Franchising

   As of January 31, 2002, we licensed 50 Barbeques Galore stores, generally in
rural areas of Australia, and franchised nine Barbeques Galore stores in the
United States. We receive annual licensing fees and franchising royalties, and
benefit primarily from these arrangements through the sale of Barbeques Galore
merchandise to the licensees and franchisees. Independent licensees and
franchisees operate such stores pursuant to agreements which require them to
comply with Barbeques Galore's merchandising and advertising guidelines and
conform to the Barbeques Galore image. These agreements typically provide the
licensees and franchisees with exclusive geographical sales territories. Most
of the Australian licensing agreements have an indefinite term but permit
licensees to terminate their arrangements at will, while franchisees in the
United States are generally contractually bound for fixed periods with renewal
options. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2002, total net sales to
licensee and franchisee stores were A$20.0 million and US$6.5 million,
respectively. We estimate that the retail sales of Barbeques Galore products
alone by licensees and franchisees were approximately

                                      14

<PAGE>

A$31.5 million and US$3.9 million, respectively, in the same period. A number
of our existing licensees have refurbished their stores in accordance with our
established criteria (although no licensee is required to do so), and we
maintain an assistance program to provide advice relating to these
enhancements. We may license additional Barbeques Galore stores in Australia on
a selective basis, although we do not intend to franchise any additional stores
in the United States (except within geographical territories as required under
existing franchising agreements).

Competition

   The retail and distribution markets for barbecues and our other product
offerings are highly competitive in both the United States and Australia. Our
retail operations compete against a wide variety of retailers, including mass
merchandisers, discount or outlet stores, department stores, hardware stores,
home improvement centers, specialty patio, fireplace or cooking stores,
warehouse clubs, web sites and mail order companies. Our manufacturing and
wholesale operations compete with many other manufacturers and distributors
throughout the world, including high-volume manufacturers of barbecues and home
heaters. We compete for retail customers primarily based on our broad
assortment of competitively priced, quality products (including proprietary and
exclusive products), convenience, customer service and the attractive
presentation of merchandise within our stores and on our web site. Many of our
competitors have greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources
than we do and, particularly in the United States, may have greater name
recognition than us. Furthermore, the lack of significant barriers to entry
into our segment of the retail industry may also result in new competition in
the future.

   We believe that the following business strengths have contributed
significantly to our past success and intend to further capitalize on those
strengths in executing our business strategy.

   Selection of Merchandise.  We offer an extensive selection of quality
barbecues and barbecue accessories designed to suit consumer lifestyles,
preferences and price points. Our stores offer a variety of barbecues, with a
range of styles, finishes and special features, including our proprietary
brands as well as more than 60 other barbecues under different brand names.
Accompanying these barbecues is an assortment of barbecue replacement parts and
accessories which generate high margins. As the leading retail chain
specializing in barbecues and related merchandise, we offer consumers one-stop
shopping convenience for virtually all their barbecue cooking needs.

   Store Environment.  Our stores offer a shopping environment which is
consistent with our outdoor lifestyle image and promotes the total barbecuing
experience. Our newer stores generally have high ceilings, wide aisles and
extensively use natural materials such as wood and stone. Merchandise is
displayed to convey the breadth and depth of our product lines. An array of
barbecues is displayed on the selling floor complete with accessories to
provide the consumer with the opportunity to compare and contrast different
models. Store presentation is based on a detailed and comprehensive store plan
regarding visual merchandising to ensure that all stores provide a consistent
portrayal of the Barbeques Galore image. Average store retail selling area is
approximately 3,450 square feet in the United States and 9,920 square feet in
Australia.

   Customer Service.  We recognize that customer service is fundamental to our
success. We have a "satisfaction guaranteed" return policy and honor all
manufacturer warranties for products sold at our stores. Store managers and
sales associates undergo product and sales training programs which enable them
to recommend merchandise that satisfies each customer's lifestyle and needs. We
monitor each store's service performance and reward high quality customer
service both on a team and individual level. We believe that our employees'
knowledge of our product offerings and the overall barbecue market and their
understanding of customer needs, are critical components of providing customer
service and distinguish us from our competitors.

   Convenient Store Locations.  We position our stores in locations that
maximize convenience and accessibility. Stores are typically situated at highly
visible locations and in close proximity to middle to upper-

                                      15

<PAGE>

income residential neighborhoods or areas of new housing construction. Stores
generally feature ample customer parking space and ready access to major
thoroughfares. Many stores are situated in retail power centers or close to
complementary retail stores, further attracting customer traffic. As a result
of our site selection criteria, we believe we have been effective in
identifying successful new store locations.

   On-line Retail Opportunities.  In May 1999, our e-Commerce site,
www.bbqgalore.com went live with minimal marketing. Sales from the site have
been recorded in all 50 states in the U.S.A. and, as a result, we are reaching
customers in regions where we currently do not have a retail store presence.

   Integrated Manufacturing Operation; New Product Development.  Through our
vertically integrated operations, we manufacture, or have manufactured for us,
a proprietary line of barbecues and home heaters for our retail stores. In
addition, we have an experienced in-house product management and development
team dedicated to barbecue and home heater market analysis and product
development that can identify and respond to changing consumer trends. We
believe that having our own manufacturing operations and strategic alliances
with overseas manufacturers, allows us to realize higher margins, control
product development and improve inventory flexibility and supply.

   Experienced Management Team.  Our senior executive management team has an
average of more than 32 years of retail industry experience. Since the current
executive management team assumed responsibility in 1982, the number of
Barbeques Galore stores has grown from 12 stores (including one licensed store)
as of June 30, 1982 to 161 stores (including 59 licensed or franchised stores)
as of January 31, 2002. We believe that management's experience positions us to
execute our business and growth strategies. Our directors and senior management
beneficially own approximately 38.98% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares.

Trademarks and Patents

   "Barbeques Galore," "Turbo," "Capt'N Cook," "Cook-On" and "Bar-B-Chef" are
federally registered trademarks and/or service marks in the United States. Also
currently in the process of registration in the United States, are "Turbo
Apollo", "Kent" and "Kent--The Flame of the Future". In addition, we own a
federal trademark registration for the distinctive configuration of our Turbo
grill. We use the phrases "America's Largest Chain of Barbecue Stores" and
"Right in Your Backyard," as common-law trademarks in the United States.
"Barbeques Galore" and "Cook-On" are registered trademarks with the State of
California. In Australia, we use the phrases "Your Outdoor Cooking and Camping
Store" and "We Know the Outdoors Inside Out," as common-law trademarks and,
have registered as trademarks, among others, the names "Norseman", "Kent" and
"Saxon". We further utilize a number of different trademarks relating to
various barbecues, barbecue accessories, home heaters, camping equipment and
outdoor furniture manufactured or offered by us. We are not presently aware of
any claims of infringement or other challenges to our right to use our marks
and our name in the United States and Australia.

   We also own a number of copyrighted works, including brochures and other
literature about our products and many drawings and designs that we use in
marketing those products.

Governmental Regulation

   Many of our products use gas and flame and, consequently, are subject to
regulation by authorities in both the United States and Australia in order to
protect consumers, property and the environment. For example, our barbecue and
home heater manufacturing, enameling and powder coating operations are subject
to regulations governing product safety and quality, the discharge of materials
hazardous to the environment, water usage, workplace safety and labor
relations. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with such
regulations. Our products or personal use thereof are subject to regulations
relating to, among other things, the use of fire in certain locations
(particularly restrictions relating to the availability or frequency of use of
wood heating in homes and barbecues in apartments), restrictions on the sale or
use of products that enhance burning potential

                                      16

<PAGE>

such as lighter fluid, restrictions on the use of gas in specified locations
(particularly restrictions relating to the use of gas containers in confined
spaces) and restrictions on the use of wood burning heaters. See "Item 3. Key
information--D. Risk Factors."

   In addition, if our level of foreign ownership exceeds 40%, we would be
considered a foreign person and would require certain governmental approvals in
connection with certain acquisitions in Australia. See "Item 10. Additional
Information--D. Exchange Control--Restrictions on Foreign Ownership;
Antitakeover Restrictions."

C.  ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

   We are an Australian resident company involved in the manufacture of
barbecues and heaters and the wholesale and retail sale of barbecues, heaters,
camping equipment, outdoor furniture, leisure products and related accessories
through Company-owned and licensed stores in Australia. We are also involved in
the retailing, through Company-owned and franchised stores, of barbecues,
fireplace equipment and accessories in the United States of America. Our
manufacturing operations are located in Australia.

   As of April 26, 2002, our listing of subsidiaries is as follows:

<PAGE>

   (a): All the abovementioned subsidiaries are incorporated in Australia with
the exception of:

          The Galore Group (U.S.A.), Inc;

          Barbeques Galore, Inc; and

          Barbeques Galore Online, Inc.

       which are incorporated in the United States of America.

   (b): All the abovementioned subsidiaries have ordinary shares as issued
share capital and are 100% owned.

D.  PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT

   We currently lease all our stores and expect that our policy of leasing,
rather than owning, store properties will continue. Existing store leases
provide for original lease terms that generally range from two to ten years,
with single or multiple renewal options that range from three to ten years at
increased rents. Certain of the leases provide for scheduled rent increases or
for contingent rent (based upon store sales exceeding stipulated amounts). We
guarantee two franchised store leases, one of which is secured by the
franchisee's rights in our Barbeques Galore franchise.

   In Sydney, Australia, we own our headquarters, a 172,000 square foot
combined distribution and warehousing facility and a 61,000 square foot
assembly facility which also accommodates part of our administrative
facilities. The additional company-owned space acquired, eliminated the
necessity to utilize significant public warehousing space in Sydney, in the
foreseeable future. We lease the adjacent 75,000 square foot barbecue and home
heater factory (which includes our enameling and in-line powder coating
operations) under a five-year lease with three successive five-year renewal
options for a total maximum lease term at present of 18 years and use smaller
warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, Australia (operated by independent
distributors), for our retail, licensee and wholesale distribution operations.

   In Irvine, California, we currently lease our headquarters and a 57,000
square foot U.S. distribution center under leases scheduled to expire in 2002.
Commencing May 2002, Barbeques Galore, Inc. will be relocating its distribution
center to a 98,821 square foot facility in Ontario, California and its
headquarters to a 12,696 square foot facility in Lake Forest, California. This
move has been necessitated entirely due to the existing physical constraints.
The relocation to Ontario (under a five-year and seven-months lease with an
option to renew for an additional five-years), is anticipated to result in
enhanced distribution efficiencies without any significant disruption to either
staff or corporate activities, at the new Lake Forest corporate headquarters
which has also been leased, for a period of five years. The 27,000 square foot
distribution center in Charlotte, North Carolina has been leased for a period
of five years with a renewal option for a further five years. Additional public
warehouse space is leased in Orange County, California and Dallas County, Texas
for short terms, as necessary. See "Item 4. Information on our Company--B.
Business Overview--Manufacturing" and "--Distribution."

   Our ownership interest in our Sydney headquarters and all our leasehold
interests in real property are subject to a mortgage interest of Australia and
New Zealand Banking Group Limited ("ANZ") governed by a Letter of Offer and
related documents between ANZ (successor-in-interest to Westpac Banking
Corporation) and ourselves. See "Item 19. Exhibits--Exhibit Number 10.3."

ITEM 5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

   The following discussion of our business, financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as
those set forth under "Item 3. Key Information--D. Risk Factors" and elsewhere
in this Annual Report.

                                      18

<PAGE>

Overview

   We believe we are the leading specialty retail chain of barbecue and
barbecue accessory stores in Australia and the United States, having regard to
the number of stores and sales volume. We also base this belief on our years of
experience in the barbecue retail industry as well as our contacts with other
industry retailers, suppliers and trade associations. We opened our first store
in Sydney, Australia in 1977 and our first U.S. store in Los Angeles in 1980.
Our stores carry a wide assortment of barbecues and related accessories,
displayed in a format that emphasizes social activities and healthy outdoor
lifestyles in addition to a comprehensive line of fireplace products and
certain backyard products and, in Australia, home heating products, camping
equipment, outdoor furniture and backyard products. As of January 31, 2002, we
owned and operated 34 stores in all six states in Australia as well as two
heating outlets in Tasmania, Australia and 66 stores (including three U.S.
Military concession stores) in ten states in the United States. In addition, as
of such date, there were 50 licensed stores in Australia and nine franchised
stores in the United States, all of which operate under the "Barbeques Galore"
name.

   We derive our revenue primarily from four categories: Australian retail,
United States retail (including royalties and sales to franchisees), Australian
licensing (including license fees and sales to licensees) and Australian
wholesale. These categories represented 28.2%, 57.5%, 6.1% and 8.1%
respectively, of our net sales for the twelve months ended January 31, 2002,
representing a (1.0%), 17.6%, (10.6%) and (3.3%) (decrease) increase over their
respective net sales levels for the twelve months ended January 31, 2001.

   A goods and services tax ("GST") was introduced in Australia from July 1,
2000. In order to provide the reader with more comparable information, the
wholesale sales tax on Australian sales, which was abolished from that date,
has been removed from all reported sales in the table on page 21.

   The wholesale sales tax was previously included in cost of goods sold as it
was not recoverable from taxation authorities or vendors and was consequently
embedded in sales revenue. The GST is not included in reported sales and cost
of sales figures from July 1, 2000 as the GST is payable to, or recoverable
from, Australian taxation authorities. The financial information as presented
in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss)
income has been adjusted in the table on page 21 to remove the wholesale sales
tax from net sales previously reported so as to provide more comparable
information for users of the financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

   In response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Release No.
33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting
Policies," we have identified the critical accounting policies that are most
important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of
operations. The policies set forth below require management's most subjective
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of
matters that are inherently uncertain.

  Store Closure Costs

   We assess the impairment of identifiable long-lived assets whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment
review include the following:

  .   significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected
      future operating results;

  .   significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or
      the strategy for our overall business; and

  .   significant negative industry or economic trends.

                                      19

<PAGE>

   When we determine that the carrying value of long-lived may not be
recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of
impairment, we measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow
method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with
the risk inherent in our current business model.

   During fiscal 2002, our decision to close seven U.S. stores as referred to
on page 19, triggered an impairment review of identifiable net assets in
relation to these stores. As a result of this impairment review, leasehold
improvements with a net book value of $1,018,000 have been written down to nil.

   In addition to these asset write-downs and costs of $567,000 incurred in
relation to the store closures, we raised a provision of $622,000 as of January
31, 2002 in relation to stores to be closed during the forthcoming fiscal year.
The provision was made in relation to lease buyout costs, future contractual
rental costs to be incurred following closure and prior to sub-lease and,
commission expenses related to sub-leasing these stores. In calculating this
provision, we made estimates in relation to the period of time it would take to
secure a suitable sub-leasee following closure of the stores and the amount of
future expenses that would be incurred. If our assumptions prove to be
inaccurate, then the actual amount of cash outflows as a result of the closure
of these stores may be in excess of the amount provided.

  Inventory Reserves

   In assessing the adequacy of our reserve for stock obsolescence, we make
assumptions in relation to future demand and market conditions. If actual
demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by
management, additional inventory reserves may be required.

Liquidity

   We have historically financed our operations through cash flows from
operations and bank borrowings.

   All committed facilities are provided subject to the standard Australian
practice of regular annual review of required limits, our performance and the
normal terms and conditions, including financial covenants, applicable to bank
lending.

   The success of our operations depends upon a number of factors related to
consumer spending. These include future economic conditions affecting
disposable consumer income such as employment, business conditions, interest
rates and taxation. If existing economic conditions were to deteriorate,
consumer spending may decline, thereby adversely affecting our business and
results of operations. This could affect the level of cash flows from
operations and our ability to meet the financial covenants applicable to our
bank lending.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

   Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to the leasing of plant and
equipment and motor vehicles through operating leases. The leases do not expose
us to any liabilities not recognized in the balance sheet.

Contractual Cash Commitments

   The table below summarizes our contractual cash commitments by payment date:

   There has been no material impact of inflation and changing prices on our
net sales and operating income for the twelve months ended January 31, 2000
through 2002, respectively.

Twelve Months Ended January 31, 2002 Compared to Twelve Months Ended January
31, 2001

   Net sales increased by approximately A$28.8 million, or 9.5%, to A$333.3
million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from A$304.5 million for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2001. In the United States, we opened four new
company-owned stores and closed two company-owned and two franchised stores
during the twelve months ended January 31, 2002. In Australia, two licensed
stores were opened and one company-store and one licensed store closed.
Comparable store sales decreased 2.6% in the United States and 0.2% in
Australia due to difficult economic conditions and low consumer confidence in
both the United States and Australia. As a result of the material depreciation
of the A$ against the US$, comparative store sales increased on a group basis
when expressed in A$ terms and contributed A$11.2 million to the increase in
net sales. Increased sales of A$16.5 million also resulted from stores not
forming part of the comparative store sales, including four new stores which
opened in the United States in the previous twelve months. The balance of the
increased sales was primarily attributable to a A$2.0 million increase in sales
to Australian licensees and a A$0.9 million decrease in Australian wholesale
sales.

   A GST was introduced in Australia from July 1, 2000. To make proper
comparisons, the wholesale sales tax on Australian sales which was abolished
from that date, should be removed from all reported sales prior to this date.
The GST is not included in reported sales figures since July 1, 2000. The
financial information as presented in the consolidated statements of operations
and other comprehensive (loss) income has been adjusted in the "Analysis of
Impact Pursuant to the Introduction of GST on Reported Sales and Gross Profit"
appearing on page 26, to remove the wholesale sales tax from net sales
previously reported. With effect from the fiscal 2003 year, no further
adjustments will be required to make proper comparisons. Based on the pro-forma
financial information, net sales increased by approximately A$30.6 million, or
10.1% to A$333.3 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from
A$302.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001.

   Reported gross profit increased approximately A$0.6 million, or 0.6% to
A$97.9 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from A$97.3 million
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001. Gross profit percentage

                                      21

<PAGE>

decreased to 29.4% during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from 32.0%
during the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in gross profit percentage
was mainly attributable to both the United States and Australian operations
feeling the impact of the economic environment as consumer confidence remained
low and demand shifted down to lower-priced ticket items.

   In Australia the cost of imported product increased pursuant to the
depreciation of the A$ against the US$ whilst sales programs were initiated to
clear slow moving lines in the camping and furniture ranges. Margins were
further impacted by the aforementioned shift towards "low-end" barbecues which
have lower margins.

   In the United States, margins were adversely impacted by a shift towards
certain stainless steel products that have lower margins and the effect of
aggressive promotional discounts. This in turn was partially offset by a
decrease in the cost of imported product into the USA resulting from a
favorable exchange rate for the USA operation.

   The introduction of the GST as detailed above also impacted cost of goods
sold, warehouse, distribution and occupancy costs and gross profit percentage.
As mentioned earlier and with effect from the fiscal 2002 year, no further
adjustments will be required to make proper comparisons. Based on the pro-forma
financial information, gross profit percentage decreased to 29.4% during the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from 32.1% during the comparable period in
2001. The decrease in the pro-forma gross profit percentage was mainly
attributable to the factors detailed in the paragraph above.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses (which exclude store
pre-opening expenses) increased approximately A$9.6 million, or 11.0%, to
A$97.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from A$87.4 million
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 29.1% during the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from 28.7% during the comparable period in
2001. This percentage increase was primarily due to the opening of new stores
and a lower leverage off a weaker sales base in the USA.

   Store pre-opening expenses decreased by A$502,000 to A$137,000 for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from A$639,000 for the comparable period,
due to the number and timing of United States' store openings.

   Closure costs increased by A$2,207,000 for the fiscal year ended January 31,
2002 from $ nil for the comparable period and is all attributable to the
closure of seven U.S. stores, two of which were closed during the 2002 fiscal
year, one during February 2002 and a further four due for closure prior to
January 2003. These stores were identified as requiring closure as a result of
historic underperformance. Closure costs of $1.2 million were incurred
comprising $611,000 in relation to the write down of leasehold improvements,
$194,000 in relation to lease buy-out costs, $248,000 in relation to future
contractual lease costs to be incurred following closure and prior to sub-lease
and, $125,000 in relation to commission expenses associated with sub-leasing.

   In addition costs amounting to $1.0 million were provided for as at January
31, 2002 comprising the following:

  .   write-down of leasehold improvements totaling $407,000;

  .   lease buyout costs of $291,000;

  .   $186,000 set aside to cover contractual rental costs to be incurred
      following closure of the stores and prior to sub-lease; and

  .   $145,000 in commission expenses relating to the sub-leasing of these
      stores.

   These costs will be financed through cashflows from operations and undrawn
finance facilities. We estimate, based on recent historic performance that the
closure of these seven U.S. stores will decrease net sales by approximately
$9.9 million and increase operating income by approximately $1.9 million.

   Operating (loss) increased by (A$10.8) million to (A$1.5) million for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 from an operating income of A$9.3 million
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001.

   Income from affiliates decreased by A$45,000 to A$295,000 for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2002 from A$340,000 for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2001 due to a decrease in the profitability of GLG until December 31, 2001.
This was partially offset by an increase in the profitability of Bromic.

   Interest expense decreased by A$0.1 million to A$2.8 million for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2002 from A$2.9 million for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2001.

   Our effective tax rate was 35.7% (benefit) for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2002 and 33.2% expense during the comparable period as a result of using a
linear rate for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, the decrease in the
Australian tax rate for this year from 34% to 30% and the taxing of USA losses
at a rate of 34%.

Twelve Months Ended January 31, 2001 Compared to Twelve Months Ended January
31, 2000

   Net sales increased by approximately A$43.8 million, or 16.8%, to A$304.5
million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 from A$260.7 million for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2000. We opened ten new company-owned stores in
the United States during the twelve months ended January 31, 2001, two of which
marked our initial entry into the Southeast Florida market. In Australia we
refurbished two company-owned stores and relocated one company-owned store
during this period. Comparable store sales increased 6.4% in the United States
and 1.4% in Australia and contributed A$23.7 million to the increase in net
sales. Increased sales of A$16.3 million also resulted from stores not forming
part of the comparative store sales, including ten new stores which opened in
the United States in the previous twelve months. The balance of the increased
sales was primarily attributable to a A$3.6 million increase in Australian
wholesale sales and a A$0.2 million increase in sales to Australian licensees.

   A GST was introduced in Australia from July 1, 2000. To make proper
comparisons, the wholesale sales tax on Australian sales which was abolished
from that date, should be removed from all reported sales prior to this date.
The GST is not included in reported sales figures since July 1, 2000. The
financial information as presented in the consolidated statements of operations
and other comprehensive income (loss) has been adjusted in the "Analysis of
Impact Pursuant to the Introduction of GST on Reported Sales and Gross Profit"
appearing on page 26, to remove the wholesale sales tax from net sales
previously reported.

   Based on the pro-forma financial information, net sales increased by
approximately A$47.9 million, or 18.8% to A$302.8 million for the fiscal year
ended January 31, 2001 from A$254.9 million for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2000.

   Reported gross profit increased approximately A$12.9 million, or 15.3% to
A$97.3 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 from A$84.4 million
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000. Gross profit percentage decreased
to 32.0% during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 from 32.4% during the
comparable period in 2000. The decrease in gross profit percentage was mainly
attributable to a change in product mix and the increased Australian cost of
imported product pursuant to the depreciation of the A$ against the US$; this
in turn, was offset by the timing of supplier rebates and a decrease in the
cost of imported product into the U.S.A. resulting from a favorable exchange
rate for the U.S.A. operation.

   The introduction of the GST as detailed above also impacted cost of goods
sold, warehouse, distribution and occupancy costs and gross profit percentage.
Based on the pro-forma financial information, gross profit percentage decreased
to 32.1% during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 from 33.1% during the
comparable period in 2000. The decrease in the pro-forma gross profit
percentage was mainly attributable to the factors detailed in the paragraph
above.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses (which exclude store
pre-opening expenses) increased approximately A$15.0 million, or 20.7%, to
A$87.4 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 from A$72.4 million
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 28.7% during the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 from 27.7% during the comparable period in
2000. This percentage increase was primarily due to lower leverage off the
overall sales base, increased advertising expenditure in the U.S.A. and
Australian retail and increased U.S.A. staffing in the executive, product
management and development, purchasing and accounting departments.

   Store pre-opening expenses increased by A$228,000 to A$639,000 for the
fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 from A$411,000 for the comparable period,
due to the number and timing of United States' store openings.

   Operating income decreased by A$2.4 million to A$9.3 million for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2001 from A$11.7 million for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2000.

   Income from affiliates decreased by A$211,000 to A$340,000 for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2001 from A$551,000 for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2000 due to a decrease in the profitability of Bromic.

   Interest expense increased by A$0.6 million to A$2.9 million for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2001 from A$2.3 million for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2000 due to a higher usage of seasonal borrowings in the third
quarter.

   Our effective tax rate was 33.2% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001
and 37.4% during the comparable period as a result of the write-down of the
deferred tax asset for the fiscal year ended January 2001 and the decrease in
the Australian tax rate for this year from 36% to 34%.

Analysis of Impact Pursuant to the Introduction of GST on Reported Sales And
Gross Profit

   A GST was introduced in Australia from July 1, 2000. To make proper
comparisons the wholesale sales tax on Australian sales, which was abolished
from that date, has been removed from all reported sales prior to this date in
the pro-forma section of the table to provide the reader with more comparable
information. The GST is not included in reported sales figures since July 1,
2000.

QUARTERLY RESULTS

Unaudited Quarterly Results and Seasonality

   Our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated, and are expected to
continue to fluctuate materially, primarily because of the seasonality
associated with the barbecue and fireplace industries and related item sales.
The timing of new store openings and related pre-opening and other startup
expenses, net sales contributed by new stores, increases or decreases in
comparable store sales, changes in our merchandise mix and overall economic
conditions also contribute to fluctuations in our quarterly results. We believe
this is the general pattern associated with our segment of the retail industry
and expect this pattern will continue in the future. In order to partially
offset the effects of seasonality, we operate in both the Southern and Northern
hemispheres which have opposite seasons, and offer fireplace products and (in
Australia) home heaters in the fall and winter months. In anticipation of our
peak selling season, we substantially increase our inventory levels and hire a
significant number of part-time and temporary employees. In non-peak periods,
such as late winter and early fall, we have regularly experienced monthly
losses. Because of these fluctuations in operating results, the results of
operations in any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be achieved for a full fiscal year or any future quarter. See "Item 3. Key
Information--D. Risk Factors."

Unaudited Additional Quarterly Consolidated Financial Data

   The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain selected
statement of operations and operating data for each of our last eight fiscal
quarters. The quarterly statement of operations data and selected operating
data set forth below were derived from our unaudited financial statements,
which in our opinion contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation thereof:

B.  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   We have historically financed our operations through cash flow from
operations and bank borrowings. We have access to a facility with ANZ (the "ANZ
Facility") up to A$52.2 million comprising a multi-option, overdraft, leasing,
foreign currency and other facilities in principal amount of A$43.7 million and
real property loans in principal amount of A$8.45 million (secured by
registered first mortgages over our respective freehold properties). As of
January 31, 2002 we had not utilized A$19.5 million of the total facility. The
ANZ Facility is secured by a first security interest over our present and
future Australian assets and a second security interest (subordinate to a lien
under the Merrill Lynch Facility as defined below) in all our assets in the
United States. The ANZ Facility is further guaranteed by each of our
subsidiaries, including The Galore Group (USA), Inc. and Barbeques Galore, Inc.
(referred to collectively as "Galore USA").

   All committed facilities are provided subject to the standard Australian
practice of regular annual review of required limits, our performance and the
normal terms and conditions, including financial covenants, applicable to bank
lending. Historically, we have renegotiated our credit facilities on similar
terms and conditions and, as we are able to roll-over bank bills (generally
taken out for periods varying from approximately 30 to 90 days), the
outstanding balance relating to bank bills and property loans is classified as
a non-current liability.

   Our total long-term debt matures as follows:

   Barbeques Galore Inc., our U.S. operating subsidiary, has access to a credit
facility with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc., ("Merrill
Lynch"). As currently in effect, such facility comprises a revolving line of
credit in aggregate principal amount of US$1.0 million (the "Merrill Lynch
Facility"). Indebtedness under the revolving line of credit accrues interest at
the 30-day commercial paper rates plus 2.70% and is payable monthly. The
Merrill Lynch Facility is secured by a first security interest in all Galore
USA present and future assets and is guaranteed by us and The Galore Group
(USA), Inc., the parent of Barbeques Galore, Inc. As at January 31, 2002, there
were no drawings against this facility.

   During 1998, pursuant to an agreement with certain holders of our
Convertible Notes (the "Convertible Notes" or "Notes"), all of which were
converted into Ordinary Shares in connection with our Offering, we registered
1,044,845 Ordinary Shares on Form F-1 (the "Resale F-1"), each having a par
value of A$3.64 and each represented by one ADS (each, a "Resale ADS") for
resale by our shareholders under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
997,926 of these Ordinary Shares were received upon the conversion of the
Convertible Notes. The remainder of these Ordinary Shares was registered
voluntarily by us and was held by our long-term shareholders who might wish to
divest all or a portion of their holdings. On or about April 22, 1999, we
removed from registration 979,731 Resale ADSs that remained unsold as of
December 15, 1998, the date at which all shareholders listed on the Resale F-1
became entitled to sell their Resale ADSs pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

   For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, cash flows
provided by (used in) operating activities were A$14.2 million, A$(0.1) million
and A$10.7 million, respectively. The cash flows provided by operating
activities reflect the decrease in receivables, prepaid expenses and
inventories and the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

   Net cash flows used in investing activities for the fiscal years ended
January 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were A$4.1 million, A$7.1 million and A$5.5
million, respectively. The cash flows used in investing activities have
resulted primarily from capital expenditures related to new store openings in
the United States.

   The cash flows used in operations and investing activities have been largely
sourced from long term borrowings under the ANZ and Merrill Lynch Facilities.

   At January 31, 2002 we had working capital of A$48.0 million and maintained
minimal amounts in cash and cash equivalents, relying instead on undrawn
facilities under our borrowing arrangements with ANZ and Merrill Lynch.

   We believe the ANZ and Merrill Lynch Facilities are sufficient to meet our
presently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for
at least the next twelve months.

   There are no legal or economic restrictions on the ability of our USA
subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or
advances.

   This information has been disclosed elsewhere throughout this Annual Report.

E.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("Statement 133") was issued
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in June 1998 and, as
amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138, is effective for our fiscal year commencing
February 1, 2001. Statement 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts. Pursuant to the standard, entities are required to carry all
derivative instruments in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for
changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument
depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging
relationship and, if so, on the reason for holding it. Pursuant to the
standard, if certain conditions are met, entities may elect to designate a
derivative instrument as a hedge of exposures to changes in fair values, cash
flows, or foreign currencies. If the hedged exposure is a fair value exposure,
the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings in the
period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item
attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedged exposure is a cash flow
exposure, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative
instrument is reported initially as a component of other comprehensive income
(outside earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the
forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any amounts excluded from the
assessment of hedge effectiveness as well as the ineffective portion of the
gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. Accounting for foreign
currency hedges is similar to the accounting for fair value and cash flow
hedges. If the derivative instrument is not designated as a hedge, the gain or
loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change.

                                      27

<PAGE>

   We adopted Statement 133, as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138, on February
1, 2001. We did not have any derivative instruments outstanding as of January
31, 2001 and 2002. The adoption of Statement 133, as amended by SFAS 137 and
SFAS 138, has, therefore, had no impact on our consolidated financial
statements as at January 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

   In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
("SAB101") "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB101 summarizes
certain of the SEC's staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in the financial statements. The
implementation date of SAB101 was delayed by the issuance of SAB101A and,
subsequently, SAB101B. The issuance of SAB101B delayed the mandatory
implementation date of SAB101 to the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1999. Accordingly, we adopted SAB101, as amended
by SAB101B, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001, effective November 1,
2000. SAB101 has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements as at January 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

   In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations
("Statement 141") and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
("Statement 142"). Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001
and also specifies the types of acquired intangible assets that are required to
be recognized and reported separately from goodwill and those acquired
intangible assets that are required to be included in goodwill. Statement 142
requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead tested for
impairment at least annually. Statement 142 also requires recognized intangible
assets to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and
reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("Statement 144"). Any
recognized intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life will
not be amortized, but instead tested for impairment in accordance with
Statement 142 until its life is determined to no longer be indefinite.

   The provisions of Statement 141 are applicable to all business combinations
accounted for by the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July
1, 2001 or later. We are required to adopt the provisions of Statement 142 on
February 1, 2002. Retroactive application of Statements 141 and 142 is not
permitted. However, any goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have an
indefinite useful life that is acquired in a business combination completed
after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. Effective February 1, 2002, we shall
no longer amortize goodwill.

   We have evaluated the impact of Statement 141 and believe it will not have a
material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

   As a result of ceasing to amortize goodwill, we estimate that operating
income will increase by approximately $114,000 during the year ending January
31, 2003. Statement 142 provides for a six-month transitional period from the
effective date of adoption for us to perform an assessment as to whether there
is an indication that goodwill is impaired. To the extent that an indication of
impairment exists, we must perform a second test to measure the amount of such
impairment with the second test to be performed as soon as possible, but no
later than the end of the fiscal year. Any impairment measured as of the date
of adoption will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting policy. Because of the extensive effort needed to complete this
assessment, we have neither determined whether there is any indication that
goodwill is impaired nor the amount of any potential impairment.

   In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations ("Statement 143"). Statement 143 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and
applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived
assets and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. Under Statement 143,
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized
in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value
can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are

                                      28

<PAGE>

capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The
liability is discounted and accretion expense is recognized using the
credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate in effect when the liability was
initially recognized. Statement 143 will be effective for us as of February 1,
2003. We have evaluated the impact of Statement 143 and believe it will not
have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.

   In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement 144, which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and which will
supersede Statement 121 with respect to the accounting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets and Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 30
("Opinion 30") for the disposal of a segment of a business. Statements 144
retains the requirements of Statement 121 to:

      (a) recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a
          long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows;
          and

      (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying
          amount and fair value of the asset.

   Statement 144 also requires that a long-lived asset to be abandoned,
exchanged for a similar productive asset, or distributed to owners in a
spin-off be considered held and used until the asset is disposed of. Statement
144 retains the basic provisions for Opinion 30 for the presentation of
discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation
to include a component of an entity (rather that a segment of a business). A
component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly
distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the
rest of the entity. A component of an entity that is classified as held for
sale or that has been disposed of is presented as a discontinued operations if
the operations and cash flows of the component will be (or have been)
eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity and the entity will not
have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component.
In addition, discontinued operations are no longer measured on a net realizable
value basis, and future operating losses are no longer recognized before they
occur.

   Statement 144 will be effective for us as of February 1, 2002. We have
evaluated the impact of Statement 144 and believe it will not have a material
impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

C.  BOARD PRACTICES

   At least one-third of our Board of Directors is elected at each annual
meeting of shareholders. No director may serve for a period in excess of three
years without submitting himself for re-election. Furthermore, our directors do
not have contracts that provide for benefits upon termination of their services
with us. The Board of Directors has a Compensation Committee comprised of
Messrs. Berner and Howlett that reviews and makes recommendations for
remuneration packages for executive directors and senior executives, and an
Audit Committee presently comprised of Messrs. Howlett (Chairman), Berner and
Gavshon that advises on the establishment and maintenance of internal controls
and ethical standards, the quality and reliability of financial information and
information provided by our independent auditors.

   On November 28, 1991, the Board of Directors adopted an Audit Committee
Charter to govern the conduct and set forth the responsibilities of the Audit
Committee. We are filing the Audit Committee Charter as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Annual Report.

D.  EMPLOYEES

   As of January 31, 2002, we employed a total of 1,238 persons, on a
permanent, part-time or temporary basis of whom 747 were employed in Australia

depending on seasonal needs. Some of our employees at Park-Tec Engineering Pty
Limited ("Park-Tec") have become members of the Australian Metal Workers Union
("AMWU"). We are currently negotiating with the AMWU to enter into an
Enterprise Bargaining Agreement in respect of our Park-Tec employees. We
consider our relations with employees to be good and believe that our employee
turnover rate is low.

Executive Share Option Plan

   On January 31, 1997, we adopted the Executive Plan, pursuant to which a
total of 203,038 Ordinary Shares were reserved for issuance with the Board
granting stock options comprising the entire share reserve under the Executive
Plan, to certain directors and senior management, at an exercise price of
A$8.38 per Ordinary Share.

                                      35

<PAGE>

   The options granted under the Executive Plan expired by their terms on
February 1, 2002, the day the Executive Plan lapsed. No options granted under
the Executive Plan were exercised prior to its lapse and no new options may be
granted under the Executive Plan.

1997 Share Option Plan

   Our 1997 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on October 1, 1997, and
approved by shareholders as of October 7, 1997. As of January 31, 2002, a total
of 506,672 Ordinary Shares have been authorized for issuance under the 1997
Plan. The number of Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under the 1997 Plan
will automatically increase on the first trading day of each calendar year,
beginning with the 1999 calendar year, during the term of the 1997 Plan by an
amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding on December
31 of the immediately preceding calendar year. In no event may any one
participant in the 1997 Plan receive stock option grants for more than 27,438
Ordinary Shares per calendar year.

   The 1997 Plan consists of the Option Grant Program, under which eligible
individuals in our employ or service (including our officers and other
employees, non-employee Board members, consultants and other independent
advisors, or any parent or subsidiary) may, at the discretion of the Plan
Administrator, be granted stock options to purchase Ordinary Shares at an
exercise price not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of their fair market
value on the option grant date.

   The Board of Directors has determined that the Compensation Committee shall
be the Plan Administrator charged with administering the 1997 Plan. The Plan
Administrator has complete discretion, within the scope of its administrative
jurisdiction under the 1997 Plan, to determine which eligible individuals are
to receive stock option grants, the time or times when such grants are to be
made, the number of shares subject to each such grant, the exercise and vesting
schedule to be in effect for the grant, the maximum term for which any granted
stock option is to remain outstanding and the status of any granted stock
option as either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory stock option
under the U.S. Federal tax laws.

   Options granted under the 1997 Plan will generally become exercisable in
three equal annual installments measured from the option grant date. The
exercise price for options granted under the 1997 Plan may be paid in cash or
in Ordinary Shares valued at fair market value on the exercise date. We are in
the process of establishing a procedure pursuant to which options under the
1997 Plan may be exercised through a same-day sale program without any cash
outlay by the optionee. In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide
financial assistance to one or more optionees in the exercise of their
outstanding stock options by allowing such individuals to deliver a
full-recourse, interest-bearing promissory note in payment of the exercise
price and any associated withholding taxes incurred in connection with such
exercise.

   In the event we are acquired via a merger or an asset sale, each outstanding
stock option under the 1997 Plan will immediately accelerate and become fully
exercisable for all of the shares subject to such outstanding options, unless
such stock options are to be assumed or replaced by the successor corporation
(or parent thereof). Any stock options that do not automatically accelerate
upon the occurrence of a merger or asset sale, will immediately accelerate, and
such repurchase rights will accordingly lapse, upon the involuntary termination
of the optionee within 18 months after the effective date of the merger or
asset sale. Stock options accelerated in connection with such involuntary
termination will be exercisable as fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i)
the expiration of the stock option term or (ii) a one (1)-year period measured
from the effective date of the involuntary termination.

   The Plan Administrator has the authority to effect, with the consent of the
affected option holders, the cancelation of outstanding stock options under the
1997 Plan in return for the grant of new stock options for the same or a
different number of shares with an exercise price per share based upon the fair
market value of the Ordinary Shares on the new grant date.

                                      36

   The Board of Directors pursuant to a meeting on September 1, 1998, granted
options to a Director to purchase up to an aggregate of 17,646 Ordinary Shares
at a price of US$8.50 per Ordinary Share under the 1997 Plan, exercisable in
three equal installments on September 1, 2001, September 1, 2002 and August 1,
2003. These options were subsequently canceled pursuant to a circulating
resolution of directors on January 10, 2000 and replaced with options granted
to the same Director, to purchase up to an aggregate of 17,646 Ordinary Shares
at a price of US$6.38 per Ordinary Share under the 1997 Plan, exercisable in
three equal installments on January 7, 2003, January 7, 2004 and December 7,
2004.

   As a result of decreases in the market price of our Ordinary Shares during
the latter part of 1998, the exercise price of those options granted
concurrently with the Offering at US$11.00 per Ordinary Share, was
significantly higher than the market price. Consequently and in order to
provide all employees with the continuing opportunity to acquire our Ordinary
Shares at an attractive purchase price, the Board of Directors at a meeting on
November 9, 1998, resolved to implement a special option cancelation/re-grant
program. Under that program, each option outstanding on that date with an
exercise price of US$11.00 per Ordinary Share (an "Old Option") was canceled
and simultaneously, a new option for the identical number of shares but with an
exercise price of US$5.20 per Ordinary Share (a "New Option"), was granted in
replacement thereof. The New Options became/are exercisable in three equal
installments on November 9, 2001 (none of which were exercised), November 9,
2002 and October 9, 2003. All other terms and conditions of the New Options are
substantially the same as the Old Options. In the aggregate, Old Options to
purchase 177,200 Ordinary Shares were canceled and re-granted under the
program. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, a total of 26,700 New
Options, exercisable at US$5.20 per Ordinary Share, were forfeited.

   In addition to the cancelation and re-grant program on November 9, 1998, the
Board of Directors granted further options to directors, a member of senior

ITEM 7.  MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A.  MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

   The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each
person or group of affiliated persons who is known by us to beneficially own 5%
or more of our Ordinary Shares including Ordinary Shares held directly or in
the form of ADSs as of April 12, 2002, based on an aggregate of 4,541,662
Ordinary Shares outstanding as of such date:

</TABLE>
--------
(1) The number of Ordinary Shares listed in this table includes Ordinary Shares
    held directly or in the form of ADSs.
(2) Applicable percentage of ownership for each shareholder is based on
    4,541,652 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of April 12, 2002, together with
    applicable options for such shareholders but excludes 237,777 Ordinary
    Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 1997
    Share Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"). There are an additional 97,270
    authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares reserved for the grant of stock
    options under the 1997 Plan. Ordinary Shares subject to options exercisable
    within sixty days of April 12, 2002 are deemed outstanding for computing
    the percentage of the person holding such options but are not deemed
    outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. As of April
    12, 2002, no such options were required to be included in the
    aforementioned computation. Beneficial ownership is determined in
    accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting and investment
    power with respect to Ordinary Shares. Unless otherwise indicated, the
    persons named in the table have sole voting and investment control with
    respect to all Ordinary Shares shown as beneficially owned by them.
(3) Includes 162,205 Ordinary Shares held by Rebel Concepts Pty Limited, a
    company in which Mr. Linz owns a 72.5% interest, with Mr. Robert Gavshon
    and Mr. John Price, (or companies associated with them), each a director of
    Barbeques Galore Limited, owning the remaining 22.5% and 5.0% respectively
    and 9,548 Ordinary Shares registered in the name of ANZ Nominees Limited.

   We are not, to our knowledge, directly owned or controlled by any other
corporation or foreign government and are not aware of any voting arrangements
which may, at any subsequent date, result in a change of control. We are not
aware of any arrangements which may at a subsequent date result in a change in
control in us.

B.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Company Policy Concerning Transactions with Affiliates

   Under the Australian Corporations Law, directors are prohibited from
entering into transactions with us that confer a benefit on any director if the
transaction is not on "arms-length" commercial terms, except where limited
exemptions apply or detailed approval procedures are first observed. We have
adopted a more stringent policy based on the Australian Corporations Act 2001
that requires all transactions with directors, senior management and other
affiliates be on terms that are believed to be at least as favorable to us as
could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and that such transactions
must be approved by a majority of our disinterested directors.

   We believe that the following transactions with directors, senior management
and other affiliates were completed on terms as favorable to us as could have
been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

                                      38

<PAGE>

Transactions with Affiliates

   We hold a one-third ownership interest in Bromic which supplies gas valves
and related products to us. Bromic receives approximately 11% of its revenues
from sales to us and we are Bromic's second largest customer. During the year
ended January 31, 2002, we purchased approximately A$2.2 million of products
from Bromic. We also hold a one-third equity interest in Renegade Gas Pty
Limited ("Renegade"), an Australian company which operates as an industrial and
domestic gas distributor.

   In addition, we hold a 50% equity interest in GLG which acted as a buying
office, supplying us with grills, burners and other products prior to cessation
of that activity on December 31, 2001. The buying office has been dismantled
and the administration of the Asian purchases is currently being handled from
Hong Kong. During the year ended January 31, 2002, we purchased approximately
A$15.7 million of products from GLG.

Transactions Involving Principal Shareholders

   Messrs. Linz, Gavshon, Selati and Price beneficially own 27.19%, 6.76%,
3.52% and 1.14%, respectively, of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Accordingly,
these individuals may exert substantial influence over our business and
affairs, including the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate
actions requiring shareholder approval.

   From time to time in the past, Messrs. Linz, Gavshon and Selati and certain
members of their respective families have advanced funds, repayable on demand
to us, to be used for general corporate purposes. Through these advances, we
have been able to obtain funds at relatively attractive short-term borrowing
rates of approximately 2% per annum below the overdraft rate charged to us by
our bankers. Prior to the Offering, we had repaid all amounts owing on such
advances and terminated these borrowing arrangements. We have reinstated
similar arrangements which the Board of Directors has determined are in our
best interests.

   We own the cars for the use of Messrs. Linz and Gavshon, and lease cars for
Messrs. Price and Selati, at a rate of approximately A$1,977 and US$1,531,
respectively, per month per car.

   Mr. Linz's sister, together with her husband in one instance and her husband
and son in three other instances, owns four entities ("Related Franchisors"),
each of which operates one franchised Barbeques Galore store in Orange County,
California. The Related Franchisors' franchise agreements provide the Related
Franchisors with the exclusive right to open, upon our approval, additional
Barbeques Galore stores within a specified territory in Orange County.

   Pursuant to his appointment as a non-executive Director on September 1,
1998, we granted options to purchase up to an aggregate of 17,646 Ordinary
Shares at a price of US$8.50 per Ordinary Share to Mr. Edgar Berner under the
1997 Plan. These options are exercisable in three equal installments on
September 1, 2001, September 1, 2002 and August 1, 2003. These options were
subsequently canceled pursuant to a circulating resolution of directors on
January 10, 2000 and replaced with options to the same Director, to purchase up
to an aggregate of 17,646 Ordinary Shares at a price of US$6.38 per Ordinary
Share under the 1997 Plan, exercisable in three equal installments on January
7, 2003, January 7, 2004 and December 7, 2004. See "Item 6. Directors, Senior
Management and Employees--E. Share Ownership for Directors and Senior
Management--1997 Share Option Plan."

   On November 9, 1998, we granted options to purchase up to an aggregate of
46,250 Ordinary Shares at a price of US$5.20 per Ordinary Share to Directors
and a member of senior management under the 1997 Plan, exercisable in three
equal installments on November 9, 2001 (none of which were exercised), November
9, 2002 and October 9, 2003. Mr. Sam Linz and Mr. Robert Gavshon each received
a grant of 15,000 Ordinary Shares, Mr. Sydney Selati received a grant of 7,500
Ordinary Shares, Mr. John Price received a grant of 3,750 Ordinary Shares and
Mr. Gordon Howlett and Mr. David James each received a grant of 2,500 Ordinary
Shares. Pursuant

                                      39

a price of US$4.10 per Ordinary Share under the 1997 Plan, exercisable in full
at any time on or after January 1, 2003.

ITEM 9.  THE OFFER AND LISTING

Price Range of our ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market(R) ("Nasdaq")

   Our Offering was completed on November 7, 1997 and our Ordinary Shares, as
represented by ADSs, were traded on Nasdaq under the symbol BBQZY. Effective
October 11, 1999, pursuant to changes to Nasdaq requirements, we were no longer
required to add the letter "Y" to the end of our Nasdaq ticker symbol and we
changed our symbol to BBQZ. The ADSs are represented by American Depositary
Receipts ("ADRs") issued by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York as
Depositary. Each ADS represents one Ordinary Share.

   From April 1987 through December 1996, we listed our Ordinary Shares for
trading on the ASE. In December 1996, we voluntarily delisted from the ASE and
since such time, there has been no established foreign public market for the
Ordinary Shares or ADSs.

   The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing sale prices
of the ADSs on Nasdaq for the fiscal periods indicated:

Report as Exhibit 10.12.

   On March 27, 2002, we entered into a lease agreement with Bake Orchard
Partners, LLC, a California limited liability company. The agreement is for the

starts at $146,472 and increases 4% annually. The lease agreement for the Lake
Forest headquarters is attached to this Annual Report as Exhibit 10.13.

D.  EXCHANGE CONTROL

Restrictions on Foreign Ownership; Antitakeover Restrictions

   Under Australian law, foreign persons are prohibited from acquiring more
than a limited percentage of the shares in an Australian company without
approval from the Australian Treasurer (the "Treasurer") or in certain other
limited circumstances. These limitations are set forth in the Australian
Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act (the "Takeovers Act"). Under the
Takeovers Act, as currently in effect, any foreign person, together with
associates, is prohibited from acquiring 15% or more of our outstanding shares
(or else the Treasurer may make an order requiring the acquiror to dispose of
those shares within a specified period of time). In addition, if a foreign
person acquires our shares and as a result the total holdings of all foreign
persons and their associates exceeds 40% in the aggregate without the approval
of the Treasurer, then the Treasurer may make an order requiring the acquiror
to dispose of those shares within a specified time if the Treasurer finds that
the acquisition is contrary to the national interest. The same rule applies if
the total holdings of all foreign persons and their associates already exceeds
40% and a foreign person (or our associate) acquires any further shares,
including in the course of trading, shares acquired in the secondary market of
the ADSs. In addition, if the level of foreign ownership exceeds 40% at any
time, we would be considered a foreign person under the Takeovers Act. In such
event, we would be required to obtain the approval of the Treasurer for us,
together with our associates, to acquire (i) more than 15% of an Australian
company or business with assets totaling over A$50 million or (ii) any direct
or indirect ownership interest in Australian urban real estate. In addition,
the percentage of foreign ownership of Barbeques Galore would also be included
in determining the foreign ownership of any Australian company or business in
which we may choose to invest. Since we have no current plans for any such
acquisitions and only own commercial property, any such approvals that we may
be required to obtain as a foreign person under the Takeovers Act will not
affect our current or planned future ownership or lease of property in
Australia.

                                      42

<PAGE>

However, there would be no material tax consequence to our shareholders
(including holders of ADSs) resulting from our being deemed a foreign person
under the Takeovers Act. If foreign persons or their associates were to own all
of the ADSs then the level of foreign ownership of our equity securities would
be approximately 67.2%. The level of foreign ownership could also increase in
the future if existing Australian investors decide to sell their shares into
the U.S. market or if we were to sell additional Ordinary Shares or ADSs in the
future.

   We have additionally provided that all stock options outstanding under our
1997 Plan at such time as we are acquired by merger or asset sale pursuant to
which such stock options are not assumed or replaced by the successor
corporation shall become immediately exercisable for a period of one (1) year
(or until the expiration of the stock option term, if earlier). There are
409,402 Ordinary Shares underlying stock options granted under our 1997 Plan,
which, barring acceleration, became/will become exercisable as to 176,250 in
three equal installments on November 9, 2001, (none of which were exercised),
November 9, 2002 and October 9, 2003, as to 148,466 in three equal installments
on January 7, 2003, January 7, 2004 and December 7, 2004 and as to 84,686 in
full at any time on or after July 1, 2002, according to the terms of the 1997
Plan. Additionally, on April 16, 2002, we made available options to
non-executive directors and certain employees, to purchase up to an aggregate
of 70,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of US$4.10 per Ordinary Share under the
1997 Plan, exercisable in full at any time on or after January 1, 2003. Such
investment restrictions and dilutive acceleration events discussed above could
have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise capital as needed and
could make more difficult or render impossible, attempts by certain entities
(especially foreign entities, in the case of the Takeovers Act), to acquire us,
including attempts that might result in a premium over market price to holders
of ADSs. See "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees--E. Share
Ownership for Directors and Senior Management "--1997 Share Option Plan."

   Our Constitution contains certain provisions that could impede any merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us or
discourage a potential acquiror from making a tender offer or otherwise
attempting to obtain control of us. Provisions contained in the Constitution,
among other things:

  .   in effect divide the Board of Directors into three classes, which serve
      for staggered three-year terms;

  .   provide that the shareholders may amend or repeal special resolutions,
      including changes to the Constitution and extraordinary transactions,
      only by a vote of at least 75% of the votes cast at a meeting at which a
      quorum is present;

  .   require extended notice (of up to 28 days) for special resolutions
      considered by the Board of Directors; and

  .   authorize the Board of Directors, without any vote or action by our
      shareholders, to issue, out of our authorized and unissued capital
      shares, shares in different classes, or with special, preferred or
      deferred rights, which may relate to voting, dividend, return of capital
      or any other matter.

   Although we currently have no plans to issue any preferred shares, the
rights of the holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs will be subject to, and may be
adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred or senior
shares that may be issued in the future. The issuance of any preferred or
senior shares, and the other provisions of the Constitution referred to above,
could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire
control of us.

   In certain circumstances, non-residents of Australia may be subject to
Australian tax on capital gains made on the disposal of Ordinary Shares or
ADSs. The rate of Australian tax on capital gains realized by non-residents of
Australia is 30% for companies for the 2002 income year (which for most
taxpayers is the year ending June 30, 2002). For individuals, the rate of tax
increases from 29% to a maximum of 47%. However, if the Ordinary Shares or ADSs
are held for 12 months or more, an individual should be entitled to an
exemption of 50% of the otherwise taxable capital gain. These circumstances are
described in "Item 10. Additional Information--E. Taxation."

E.  TAXATION

   Dividends.  Fully franked dividends (i.e., dividends paid out of the
Company's profits which have been subject to Australian income tax at the
maximum corporate tax rate) which are paid to shareholders who are U.S.
residents will not be subject to Australian income or Australian withholding,
taxes. Unfranked dividends (i.e., dividends that are paid out of profits that
have not been subject to Australian income tax) are subject to Australian
withholding tax when paid to U.S. resident shareholders. In the event the
Company pays partially franked dividends, shareholders will be subject to
withholding tax on the unfranked portion. Pursuant to the bilateral taxation
convention between Australia and the United States (the "Treaty"), the
withholding tax imposed on dividends paid by the Company to a U.S. resident is
limited to 15%. Refer, however, to "Proposed changes to the Treaty," below.

   Dividends which are paid to the Company by a U.S. subsidiary out of the
trading profits of that subsidiary will give rise to a credit in the Company's
"foreign dividend account" ("FDA"). Where the Company has a credit balance in
its FDA and makes a written FDA declaration specifying that all or a portion of
an unfranked dividend to be paid by the Company is an FDA dividend, the amount
so specified will be exempt from Australian withholding tax. The payment of an
FDA dividend gives rise to a debit in the Company's FDA account. The Australian
Federal Government has announced that it intends to extend the dividend
withholding tax exemption to all types of foreign income derived by an
Australian company with effect from July 1, 2002. As part of this extension,
the FDA will be replaced by a "foreign income account" ("FIA").

   Sales of ADSs or Ordinary Shares.  U.S. residents who do not hold and have
not at any time in the five years preceding the date of disposal held (for
their own account or together with associates) 10% or more of the issued share
capital of a public Australian company are not liable for Australian capital
gains tax on the disposal of shares or ADSs of such company.

   U.S. residents are subject to Australian capital gains tax on the disposal
of shares or ADSs of a private Australian company where the disposal
consideration exceeds the cost base unless such a gain is exempt from
Australian tax under the Treaty. The rate of Australian tax on taxable capital
gains realized by U.S. residents is 30% for companies for the 2002 income year
(for most taxpayers, the year ending June 30, 2002). For individuals, the rate
of tax increases from 29% to a maximum of 47%. However, if the Ordinary Shares
or ADSs are held for 12 months or more, an individual should be entitled to an
exemption of 50% of the otherwise taxable capital gain. U.S. residents who are
subject to Australian tax on capital gains made on the disposal of shares or
ADSs are required to file an Australian income tax return for the year in which
the disposal occurs.

   A company listed on a stock exchange (a "Listed Company") will be treated as
a private company in respect of a fiscal year for Australian tax purposes if it
is closely held (i.e. at any time during that fiscal year, not less than 75% of
the paid up capital of the Company, voting power or dividend rights of such
company are held by 20 or fewer persons), unless the Australian Commissioner of
Taxation (the "Commissioner"), pursuant to the discretion granted to him, rules
that such company will be treated as a public company for such fiscal year. As
the ADSs are listed for quotation on Nasdaq, the Company will be deemed a
Listed Company. The Company currently qualifies as a public Australian company;
however, because the ownership of the Company must be continuously monitored,
we cannot assure you that the Company will not become closely held, thereby
losing its public company status. If the Company were to lose its public
company status, it would become a private Australian company and the paragraph
immediately preceding this one, would apply to the Company.

   Non-residents of Australia who are securities dealers or in whose hands a
profit on disposal of ADSs or Ordinary Shares is regarded as ordinary income
and not as a capital gain (such ADSs and Ordinary Shares are referred to as
"revenue assets") will be subject to Australian income tax on Australian source
profits arising on the disposal of the ADSs or Ordinary Shares, unless such
profits are exempt from Australian tax under the Treaty. Prospective investors
should consult their own tax advisors in determining whether the ADSs or
Ordinary Shares are revenue assets because such a conclusion depends on the
particular facts and circumstances of the individual investor.

                                      44

   Pursuant to the Treaty, capital gains or profits arising on the disposal of
ADSs or Ordinary Shares which constitute "business profits" of an enterprise
carried on by a U.S. resident who does not carry on business in Australia
through a permanent establishment to which such gains or profits are
attributable are exempt from Australian tax. Refer, however, to "Proposed
changes to the Treaty," below. The term "business profits" is not defined in
the Treaty and thus its meaning in the present context is that which the term
has under Australian tax law. The Australian Courts have held that the term
business profits is not confined to profits derived from the carrying on of a
business but must embrace any profit of a business nature or commercial
character. The term "permanent establishment" is defined in the Treaty to mean
a fixed place of business through which an enterprise is carried on and
includes an Australian branch of the U.S. resident and an agent (other than an
agent of independent status) who is authorized to conclude contracts on behalf
of the U.S. resident and habitually exercises that authority in Australia. Any
capital gains or profits derived by a U.S. resident from the disposal of the
ADSs or Ordinary Shares held as revenue assets (including gains derived by a
securities dealer) will constitute business profits under the Treaty and, thus
be exempt from Australian tax, provided that such holder does not carry on
business in Australia through a permanent establishment to which such gains or
profits are attributable.

   The view of the Commissioner is that the Treaty in its current form would
not preclude Australia from taxing a capital gain realised by a U.S. resident
on the sale of ADSs or Ordinary Shares.

   U.S. residents with no taxable capital gains or income (or deductible
losses) from sources in Australia other than dividends with respect to the
Ordinary Shares or ADSs are not required to file an Australian income tax
return.

   Proposed changes to the Treaty.  On September 27, 2001, the Governments of
the United States and Australia signed a Protocol ("the Protocol") amending the
existing Treaty. The Protocol will come into force once both countries have
ratified it and will not have effect in Australia before July 1, 2003.

   Broadly, subject to the two exceptions mentioned below, the existing tax
treatment of dividends paid to U.S. residents will continue; that is, no
withholding tax will be imposed on the franked component of dividends paid to a
U.S. resident shareholder and 15% withholding tax will be imposed on the
unfranked component of dividends. The two exceptions are:

      (a) no withholding tax will be imposed on unfranked dividends paid to a
          U.S. resident company which is beneficially entitled to 80% of the
          voting power (for a 12 month period prior to the date the dividend is
          declared) of the Company and the U.S. resident company satisfies a
          public listing requirement; and

      (b) a withholding tax limit of 5% will apply to unfranked dividends paid
          to a U.S. resident company that holds at least 10% of voting power in
          the Company but does not meet the 80% test mentioned above.

   The Protocol will also amend the Treaty to the effect that Australia will
not be precluded by the Treaty from taxing capital gains derived by a U.S.
resident on the sale of ADSs or Ordinary Shares.

Stamp Duty

   Under the law as it currently stands, stamp duty is imposed in the
Australian Capital Territory on any transfer of shares in a company
incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory and will be payable on the
transfer of Ordinary Shares in the Company. In the absence of a relevant
exemption, duty will be payable on the transfer of Ordinary Shares in the
Company at the rate of A$0.60 for each A$100.00 of the higher of the
consideration paid or payable to acquire the Ordinary Shares and the
unencumbered value of the Ordinary Shares. This duty is payable by the
transferee.

   Prior to July 1, 2001, transactions involving ADRs were expressly subject to
stamp duty in the Australian Capital Territory. The inclusion of ADRs as an
express item of dutiable property and an exemption for certain

                                      45

<PAGE>

transfers of ADRs to foreign residents, were removed with effect from July 1,
2001. Duty, therefore, is now chargeable on a dutiable transaction relating to
ADRs that create an interest in an Ordinary Share, whether or not that
transaction is effected in writing. Dutiable transactions include a transfer,
an agreement for sale or transfer and a declaration of trust. The term ADR is
specifically defined in the legislation and requires the depositary to hold the
underlying Ordinary Shares as trustee for the ADR holder.

   There are a number of other exemptions from duty on the transfer of Ordinary
Shares. The availability of exemptions depends upon the particular
circumstances surrounding each transaction. These include exemptions relating
to deceased estates, transfers between trustees and beneficiaries, bankrupt
estates, divorces and reconstructions of corporate groups. You should consult a
legal adviser in relation to the precise terms and availability of any
exemption.

Gift, Estate and Inheritance Taxes

   There are no specific gift, estate or inheritance taxes in Australia.
However, the transfer by a U.S. resident of Ordinary Shares or ADSs by way of
gift or upon death, may have Australian income tax and stamp duty implications.

I.   SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION

   Not applicable.

ITEM 11.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

   Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in
interest rates and changes in foreign exchange rates.

Foreign Currency Market Risk

   Our functional currency is the Australian dollar although we transact a
portion of our business in foreign currencies and accordingly have foreign
currency exposure through our sales in the United States and purchases from
overseas suppliers in U.S. dollars.

   Our Australian operations generally hedge a major portion of our imports
against exchange rate fluctuations with respect to the Australian dollar.
However, in our U.S. operations, we have not, and currently do not, actively
hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, although we may elect to do so in the
future. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may have a material adverse
effect on our net sales, cost of goods sold, gross profit and net income
(loss), any of which alone or in the aggregate may in turn have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

                                      46

<PAGE>

   We utilize foreign currency forward contracts as a means of offsetting
fluctuations in the dollar value of foreign currency accounts payable. The
counter parties to the contracts are major financial institutions and the risk
of loss to us in the event of non-performance by a counter party, is not
significant. There were no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as at
January 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

   Because we have long term debt under the facilities with ANZ and Merrill
Lynch, we are exposed to changes in interest rates.

   The ANZ facility includes bank bills which are generally taken out for
periods varying from approximately 30 to 90 days and rolled over at the end of
their respective terms. Overseas purchases are generally refinanced for periods
varying up to 170 days. As of January 31, 2001 and 2002, the weighted average
interest rates accruing on the bank bills utilized under the ANZ Facility were
as follows:

</TABLE>

   As of January 31, 2002 the Merrill Lynch facility comprises a revolving line
of credit amounting to US$1.0 million. Indebtedness under the revolving line of
credit accrues interest at the 30-day commercial paper rates plus 2.70% and is
payable monthly.

   Our total long-term debt matures as follows:

conditions become favorable. The repurchase program will expire on January 31,
2002 or upon reaching an aggregate purchase quantity of 450,000 ADRs.
Commencing March 23, 2001 and thereafter, we have repurchased, at a cost of
US$1,122,063 and from available resources, 425,000 ADRs on the open market,
pursuant to the repurchase program.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Barbeques Galore Limited

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Barbeques
Galore Limited and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related
consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Barbeques
Galore Limited and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  (a) Description of business

   Barbeques Galore Limited ("Barbeques Galore" or "the Company") is an
Australian resident company which is involved in the manufacture of barbecues
and heaters, and wholesale and retail sales of barbecues, heaters, camping
equipment, outdoor furniture, backyard products, leisure products and related
accessories through Company-owned and licensed stores in Australia. The Company
is also involved in the retailing, through Company-owned and franchised stores,
of barbecues, fireplace equipment and accessories and backyard products in the
United States of America. The Company's manufacturing operations are located in
Australia.

  (b) Principles of consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

  (c) Inventories

   Inventories are comprised of raw materials and stores, work in progress and
finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the
first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

  (d) Derivative financial instruments

   The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset earnings
fluctuations from anticipated foreign currency cash flows. These instruments
are marked to market and the results recognized immediately as income or
expense.

  (e) Investments in affiliated companies

   Investments in the ordinary shares of 20% to 50% owned companies are
accounted for by the equity method.

  (f) Property, plant and equipment

   Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated
depreciation. Plant and equipment under capital leases are initially recorded
at the present value of minimum lease payments. The method of depreciation and
estimable useful lives over which property, plant and equipment is depreciated,
are as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                        Method     Years
                                                     ------------- -----
        <S>                                          <C>           <C>
        Buildings................................... Straight line  40
        Machinery and equipment..................... Straight line 8-12
        Leasehold improvements...................... Straight line 5-20
        Leased plant and equipment.................. Straight line 3-5
</TABLE>

   Plant and equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or
estimated useful life of the asset. Obligations under capital leases are
reduced by payments of principal. The interest components of the capital lease
payments are charged to the consolidated statements of operations and other
comprehensive (loss) income.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


  (g) Goodwill

   Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
expected periods to be benefited, generally 20 years. The Company assesses the
recoverability of this intangible asset by determining whether the amortization
of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be recovered through
undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired operation. The amount
of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted
future operating cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The assessment
of the recoverability of goodwill will be impacted if estimated future
operating cash flows are not achieved.

  (h) Product management and development, and advertising

   Product management and development, and advertising costs are expensed as
incurred. Amounts expensed were as follows:

</TABLE>

  (i) Income taxes

   Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. The Company does not provide for income tax on foreign currency
translation adjustments since it does not provide for such taxes on
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

  (j) Share option plan

   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, in 1996, under which it elected
to continue following the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations for its share option plan. Generally, compensation expense is
recorded on the date of grant only if the market price of the underlying share
exceeded the exercise price.

  (k) Commitments and contingencies

   Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments,
litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment
can be reasonably estimated.

  (l) Use of estimates

   Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

                                      58

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


  (m) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of

   The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment of assets to be
held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
future undiscounted operating net cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

  (n) Rent expense, surplus leased space and lease incentives

   The Company leases certain store locations under operating leases, which
provide for annual payments that increase over the lives of the leases. Total
payments under the leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease
term unless another systematic and rational allocation basis is more
representative of the time pattern in which the leased property is physically
employed.

   Where premises under a non-cancelable operating lease become vacant during
the lease term, a charge is recognized on that date equal to the present value
of the expected future lease payments less any expected future sub-lease income.

   If the Company receives incentives provided by a lessor to enter into an
operating lease agreement, these incentives are brought to account as
reductions in rent expense over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.

  (o) Revenue recognition

   Revenue (net of returns and allowances) is recognized at the point of
shipment for wholesale sales to external customers and the point of sale for
retail goods.

  (p) Cash and cash equivalents

   Cash includes cash on hand and at bank. For purposes of the consolidated
statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

  (q) Store pre-opening costs

   Store pre-opening costs are expensed when incurred.

  (r) Earnings (loss) per share

   Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to ordinary shareholders, by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income
(loss) available to ordinary shareholders, by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares and dilutive ordinary share equivalents for the period. In
calculating the dilutive effect of share options, the Company uses the treasury
stock method.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


  (s) Foreign currency translation

   Foreign currency transactions are converted to Australian currency at the
rates of exchange applicable at the dates of the transactions. Amounts
receivable and payable in foreign currencies at balance date are converted at
the year end rates. Gains and losses from conversion of monetary assets and
liabilities, whether realized or unrealized, are included in income (loss)
before income taxes as they arise.

   Assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiaries are translated at year-end
rates and operating results at the average rates ruling during the year.

  (t) Convenience translation (unaudited)

   The information in U.S. dollars in the consolidated balance sheets and
consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income is
presented solely for the convenience of the reader and has been translated at
the spot rate on January 31, 2002 of US$0.5078 per A$1.00 and at the average
rate for each quarter in respect of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002
which equates to an annual equivalent of US$0.5150 per A$1.00, respectively.
These translations should not be construed as representations that the
Australian dollar amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or could
be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated or at any other rate.

  (u) Other comprehensive (loss) income

   The only component of other comprehensive (loss) income that impacts the
Company is foreign currency translation adjustments. The net (loss) gain
associated with the foreign currency translation adjustments for the years
ended January 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 was A$(404,000), A$4,826,000 and
A$2,794,000, respectively. Accumulated other comprehensive income at January
31, 2001 and 2002 consisted solely of foreign currency translation adjustments
with credit balances of A$5.9 million and A$8.7 million, respectively.

  (v) Goods and Services Tax

   A Goods and Services Tax ("GST") was introduced in Australia from July 1,
2000. The GST is not included in reported sales since July 1, 2000. A wholesale
sales tax on sales in effect in Australia prior to July 1, 2000 was abolished
as of that date. Sales tax amounts were included in sales and cost of goods
sold for all periods presented prior to July 1, 2000.

   Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of GST,
except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian
Tax Office ("ATO"). In these circumstances the GST is recognized as part of the
cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

   Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

   The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO, is included
as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

   Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The
GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities
which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO, are classified as operating
cash flows.

2.  Derivative Financial Instruments

   The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts as a means of
offsetting fluctuations in the dollar value of foreign currency accounts
payable. The counter parties to the contracts are major financial institutions
and the risk of loss to the Company in the event of non-performance by a
counter party is not significant. There were no foreign currency forward
contracts outstanding as at January 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

3.  Accounts Receivable

   Accounts receivable consists of the following:

   The Company and its subsidiaries have access to a facility with Australia
and New Zealand Banking Group Limited ("ANZ") (the "ANZ Facility") up to
A$52,180,000, comprising a multi-option, overdraft, leasing, foreign currency
and other facilities in principal amount of A$43,730,000 and real property
loans in principal amount of A$8,450,000 (secured by registered first mortgages
over the respective freehold properties of the Company). As of January 31, 2002
the Company had not utilized A$19,456,767 of the total facility. The ANZ
Facility is secured by a first security interest over the Company's present and
future Australian assets and a second security interest (subordinate to a lien
under the Merrill Lynch Facility detailed below) in all the Company's assets in
the United States. The ANZ Facility is further guaranteed by each subsidiary of
the Company as well as The Galore Group (USA), Inc. and Barbeques Galore, Inc.
(referred to collectively as "Galore USA").

   The ANZ facility includes bank bills which are generally taken out for
periods varying from approximately 30 to 90 days and rolled over at the end of
their respective terms. Overseas purchases are generally refinanced for periods
varying up to approximately 170 days. As of January 31, 2001 and 2002, the
weighted average interest rates accruing on the bank bills utilized under the
ANZ Facility were as follows:

   All committed facilities are provided subject to the standard Australian
practice of regular annual review of required limits, the Company's performance
and the normal terms and conditions, including financial covenants, applicable
to bank lending. Historically, the Company has renegotiated its credit
facilities on similar terms and conditions and, as the Company is able to
roll-over bank bills (generally taken out for periods varying from
approximately 30 to 90 days), the outstanding balance relating to bank bills
and property loans is classified as a non-current liability.

   Barbeques Galore, Inc., the Company's U.S. operating subsidiary, has access
to a credit facility with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc.
("Merrill Lynch"). As currently in effect, such facility comprises a revolving
line of credit in aggregate principal amount of US$1.0 million (the "Merrill
Lynch Facility"). Indebtedness under the revolving line of credit accrues
interest at the 30-day commercial paper rates plus 2.70% and is payable
monthly. The Merrill Lynch Facility is secured by a first security interest in
all Galore USA present and future assets and is guaranteed by the Company and
The Galore Group (USA), Inc., the parent of Barbeques Galore, Inc. As at
January 31, 2002, there were no drawings against this facility.

   In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully
realize the deferred tax asset associated with the net operating loss
carryforwards, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of
approximately A$333,000 prior to the expiration of the net operating loss
carryforwards in 2003. Based upon projections for future taxable income over
the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes
it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these
deductible

differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable,
however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable
income during the carryforward period are reduced.

12.  Share Option Plans

  (a) Executive Share Option Plan (the "Executive Plan")

   On January 31, 1997, the Company adopted the Executive Plan pursuant to
which, the Board of Directors granted options to certain members of management,
to purchase Ordinary Shares in the Company. A total of 203,038 options were
issued under the Executive Plan with an exercise price of A$8.38 per Ordinary
Share.

   The fair value of each share option grant was estimated to be A$1.12 on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions: weighted average risk-free interest rate of 6.49%; no dividend
yield; expected life of 2.5 years and volatility of 17.97%.

   The options granted under the Executive Plan expired by their terms on
February 1, 2002, the day the Executive Plan lapsed. No options granted under
the Executive Plan were exercised prior to its lapse and no new options may be
granted under the Executive Plan.

  (b) 1997 Share Option Plan (the "1997 Plan")

   Under the terms of the Company's 1997 Plan, a total of 506,672 Ordinary
Shares have been authorized for issuance. The 1997 Plan was adopted by the
Board of Directors on October 1, 1997 and approved by shareholders as of
October 7, 1997.

   The number of Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under the 1997 Plan will
automatically increase on the first trading day of each calendar year,
beginning with the 1999 calendar year, during the term of the 1997 Plan by an
amount equal to one per cent (1%) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding on
December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year. In no event may any one
participant in the 1997 Plan receive option grants for more than 27,438
Ordinary Shares per calendar year.

   The 1997 Plan consists of the Option Grant Program, under which eligible
individuals in the Company's employ or service (including officers and other
employees, non-employee Board members, consultants and other independent
advisers of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary) may, at the discretion of
the Plan Administrator, be granted stock options to purchase Ordinary Shares at
an exercise price not less than eighty-five per cent (85%) of their fair market
value on the option grant date.

   The Compensation Committee administers the 1997 Plan. The Plan Administrator
has complete discretion, within the scope of its administrative jurisdiction
under the 1997 Plan, to determine which eligible individuals are to receive
stock option grants, the time or times when such grants are to be made, the
number of shares subject to each such grant, the exercise and vesting schedule
to be in effect for the grant, the maximum term for which any granted stock
option is to remain outstanding and the status of any granted stock option as
either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory stock option under the U.S.
Federal tax laws.

   The Board of Directors, pursuant to a meeting on September 1, 1998, granted
options to a Director to purchase up to an aggregate of 17,646 Ordinary Shares
at a price of US$8.50 per Ordinary Share under the 1997 Plan, exercisable in
three equal installments on September 1, 2001, September 1, 2002 and August 1,
2003. These options were subsequently canceled pursuant to a circulating
resolution of the directors on January 10, 2000 and replaced with options
granted to the same Director, to purchase up to an aggregate of 17,646 Ordinary

                                      68

<PAGE>

                   BARBEQUES GALORE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

Shares at a price of US$6.38 per Ordinary Share under the 1997 Plan,
exercisable in three equal installments on January 7, 2003, January 7, 2004 and
December 7, 2004.

   As a result of decreases in the market price of the Company's Ordinary
Shares during the latter part of 1998, the exercise price of those options
granted concurrently with the Offering at US$11.00 per Ordinary Share, was
significantly higher than the market price. Consequently and in order to
provide all employees with the continuing opportunity to acquire Ordinary
Shares of the Company at an attractive purchase price, the Board of Directors
at a meeting on November 9, 1998, resolved to implement a special option
cancelation/re-grant program. Under that program, each option outstanding on
that date with an exercise price of US$11.00 per Ordinary Share (an "Old
Option") was canceled and simultaneously, a new option for the identical number
of shares but with an exercise price of US$5.20 per Ordinary Share (a "New
Option"), was granted in replacement thereof. The New Options became/are
exercisable in three equal installments on November 9, 2001 (none of which were
exercised), November 9, 2002 and October 9, 2003. All other terms and
conditions of the New Options are substantially the same as the Old Options. In
the aggregate, Old Options to purchase 177,200 Ordinary Shares were canceled
and re-granted under the program. During the fiscal year ended January 31,
2002, a total of 26,700 New Options, exercisable at US$5.20 per Ordinary Share,
were forfeited.

   In addition to the cancelation and re-grant program on November 9, 1998, the
Board of Directors granted further options to directors, a member of senior
management and employees to purchase up to an aggregate of 48,250 Ordinary
Shares at a price of US$5.20 per Ordinary Share under the 1997 Plan and
exercisable on the same dates as above. During the fiscal year ended January
31, 2002, a total of 1,000 options, exercisable at US$5.20 per Ordinary Share,
were forfeited.

   Pursuant to the aforementioned circulating resolution of directors, further
options were granted to directors, senior management and employees to purchase
up to an aggregate of 143,820 Ordinary Shares at a price of US$6.38 per
Ordinary Share under the 1997 Plan and exercisable in three equal installments
on January 7, 2003, January 7, 2004 and December 7, 2004. During the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2002, a total of 9,800 options, exercisable at US$6.38
per Ordinary Share, were forfeited.

   The fair value of the 48,250 share option grant (reduced by 1,000 options
forfeited cumulatively to January 31, 2002), was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.7%; no dividend yield and
volatility of 84.42%. The incremental value of the 177,200 regranted New
Options (reduced by 48,200 options forfeited cumulatively to January 31, 2002),
was A$1.54 per option, which, when added to the compensation cost per the
original option of A$8.04, results in a total compensation cost from the date
of re-grant, of A$9.58.

   The fair value of the 17,646 and 143,820 share option grants (the latter

   The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its share option
plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its share
options in the years ended January 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 respectively. Had
the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant
date for its share options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss)
would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

13.  Commitments and Contingencies

   There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company. The
Company is involved in various product liability claims and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.

   The Company placed a major portion of its insurances with HIH Casualty and
General Insurance Limited ("HIH") during the 12 months ending June 30, 2001 and
earlier periods. HIH Insurance Limited and 17 of its subsidiaries ("HIH Group")
have been placed into liquidation. The Company has replaced its insurances with
other insurers and has no material claims against it on foot in relation to the
period during which it enjoyed cover with HIH. Furthermore, to the best of its
knowledge and belief, it is unaware of any further material claims which may
arise against it in relation to any events during the period of cover with HIH.
It is also unknown at this stage when and what amounts, if any, would be
recoverable from the Liquidators of the HIH Group, were such claims to arise.

14.  Segments and Related Information

   The Company is engaged in the retail industry and operates through stores
located in two geographic segments, Australia and the United States.

   The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those
described in note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company
measures the performance of its operating segments based on gross profit and
operating income, which is defined as income before equity income of
affiliates, net of tax, interest expense and income taxes. In addition, the
operating income of the United States does not include all the income
attributable to it for product manufactured and purchased for the United States
by the Australian subsidiaries.

19.  Store Closure Costs

   During the year ended January 31, 2002, the Company incurred closure costs
totaling $2,207,000 as a result of a decision to close seven U.S. stores, two
of which were closed during the 2002 fiscal year, one during February 2002 and
a further four due for closure prior to January 2003. These stores were
identified as requiring closure as a result of historic underperformance.
Closure costs of $1.2 million were incurred comprising $611,000 in relation to
the write down of leasehold improvements, $194,000 in relation to lease buy-out
costs, $248,000 in relation to future contractual lease costs to be incurred
following closure and prior to sub-lease and, $125,000 in relation to
commission expenses associated with sub-leasing the stores.

   In addition costs amounting to $1.0 million were provided for as at January
31, 2002 in respect of those stores to be closed during the forthcoming fiscal
year. These costs comprised the following:

  .   write-down of leasehold improvements totaling $407,000;

  .   lease buyout costs of $291,000;

  .   $186,000 set aside to cover contractual rental costs to be incurred
      following closure of the stores and prior to sub-lease; and

  .   $145,000 in commission expenses relating to the sub-leasing of these
      stores.
