                     BOOKS-A-MILLION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Books-A-Million, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") for the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004 have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and are presented in
accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005 included in our Fiscal 2005 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the financial statements
included herein contain all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation of our financial position as of July 30, 2005, and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended
July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts
could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

     We have also experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant
variability in sales and net income from quarter to quarter. Therefore, the
results of the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company has a stock option plan that provides for the issuance of
options to employees and members of the board of directors. With the approval of
the 2005 Incentive Award Plan by our stockholders at the Company's annual
meeting, there will be no additional awards made under the Company's stock
option plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and
measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation cost for this plan is reflected in net income,
as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and net income per common share if the
Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 ("SFAS 148") "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transaction and Disclosure--an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
123," to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands except per share
amounts):

     There were no new grants of stock options in fiscal 2006. Stock-based
compensation expense in the above table for fiscal 2006 relates to options
granted in prior years that would be expensed over their vesting period. The
fair value of the options granted under the Company's stock option plan for
fiscal 2005 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: $0.03 per
quarter dividend yield; expected stock price volatility rate of .44; risk-free
interest rates of 3.45% to 4.31%; and expected lives of six or ten years.

     On June 1, 2005, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of
the Books-A-Million, Inc. 2005 Incentive Award Plan. The Company's board of
directors had previously approved this plan subject to stockholder approval. An
aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to awards
granted under the Plan. On June 29, 2005 the Company granted 77,100 shares of
restricted stock to the Company's officers and key employees pursuant to the
terms of the Plan. The compensation expense related to these grants is being
expensed over the vesting period for the individual grants. In fiscal 2006, the
Company has recorded $103,314 of stock-based compensation expense for the
restricted stock grants. Additionally, the Company granted 3,333 shares to a
Director that joined the Company's Board of Directors in August 2005. The
expense related to the Director's grant will be expensed over the vesting period
of the grant starting in the third quarter.

2.       NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Basic net income (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing income
(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock are
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Diluted EPS has been
computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding including
the effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock, if dilutive, in
each respective thirteen and twenty-six week period. A reconciliation of the
weighted average shares for basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

4.       DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

     The Company is subject to interest rate fluctuations involving its credit
facilities and debt related to an industrial development revenue bond (the
"Bond"). However, the Company uses fixed interest rate hedges to manage this
exposure. The Company entered into two separate $10 million interest rate swaps
on July 24, 2002. Both expired in August 2005 and effectively fixed the interest
rate on $20 million of variable credit facility debt at 5.13% (the "Credit
Facility Hedges"). The Company has not replaced the Credit Facility Hedges. In
addition, the Company entered into a $7.5 million interest rate swap in May 1996
that expires in June 2006 and effectively fixed the interest rate on the Bond at
8.73% (the "Bond Hedge"). The counter party to the Bond Hedge is a primary bank
in the Company's credit facility. The Company believes the credit and liquidity
risk of the counter party failing to meet its obligation under the Bond Hedge is
remote.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

     The Bond Hedge is a cash flow hedge, and until the fourth quarter of fiscal
2004 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, respectively, the Credit Facility
hedges were cash flow hedges. Cash flow hedges protect against the variability
in future cash outflows of current or forecasted debt and related interest
expense. The changes in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the
balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) or in earnings, depending on the type of hedging relationship.
Over time, amounts held in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be
reclassified to earnings if the hedge transaction becomes ineffective.

     The Company's interest rate swaps described above are reported as a
liability classified in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair value of $213,000 and
$543,000 as of July 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005, respectively. For the
thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, respectively, adjustment
gains of $58,000 (net of tax provision of $34,000) and $131,000 (net of tax
provision of $77,000), respectively, and in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30,
2005 and July 31, 2004, adjustment gains of $110,000 (net of tax provision of
$71,000) and $226,000 (net of tax provision of $133,000), respectively, were
recorded as unrealized gains in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
and are detailed in Note 5. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, one of the
Credit Facility Hedges no longer qualified for hedge accounting under SFAS No.
133; as a result, the Company de-designated the hedge. In addition, in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the other Credit Facility Hedge no longer
qualified for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, and the Company de-designated
that hedge at that time. For the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005 and July 31,
2004, pre-tax gains of $62,000 and $105,000, respectively were recorded in
earnings related to the de-designated hedges. For the twenty-six weeks ended
July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, pre-tax gains of $147,000 and $179,000,
respectively, were recorded in earnings related to the de-designated hedges.

5.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     Comprehensive income is net income plus certain other items that are
recorded directly to stockholders' equity. The only such items currently
applicable to the Company are the unrealized gains (losses) on the hedges

6.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its
business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel,
the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not
presently expected to materially affect the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.

     From time to time, the Company enters into certain types of agreements that
require the Company to indemnify parties against third party claims under
certain circumstances. Generally these agreements relate to: (a) agreements with
vendors and suppliers under which the Company may provide customary
indemnification to its vendors and suppliers in respect of actions they take at
the Company's request or otherwise on its behalf, (b) agreements to indemnify
vendors against trademark and copyright infringement claims concerning books
published or merchandise manufactured specifically for or on behalf of the
Company, (c) real estate leases, under which the Company may agree to indemnify
the lessors from claims arising from the Company's use of the property, and (d)
agreements with the Company's directors, officers and employees, under which the
Company may agree to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their
relationship with the Company. The Company has directors and officers liability
insurance, which, subject to the policy's conditions, provides coverage for
indemnification amounts payable by the Company with respect to its directors and
officers up to specified limits and subject to certain deductibles.

     The nature and terms of these types of indemnities vary. The events or
circumstances that would require the Company to perform under these indemnities
are transaction and circumstance specific. Generally, the Company's maximum
liability under such indemnities is not explicitly stated, and, therefore, the
overall maximum amount of the Company's obligations cannot be reasonably
estimated. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant costs related
to performance under these types of indemnities. No liabilities have been
recorded for these obligations on the Company's balance sheet at July 30, 2005
and January 29, 2005 as such liabilities are considered de minimis.

8.        BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company has two reportable segments, retail trade and electronic
commerce trade. The retail trade segment is a strategic business segment that is
engaged in the retail trade of mostly book merchandise and includes the
Company's distribution center operations, which predominantly supplies
merchandise to the Company's retail stores. The electronic commerce trade
segment is a strategic business segment that transacts business over the
internet and is managed separately due to divergent technology and marketing
requirements.

     The accounting policies of the segments are substantially the same as those
described in the Company's Fiscal 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company
evaluates performance of the segments based on net income from operations before
interest and income taxes. Certain intersegment cost allocations have been made
based upon consolidated and segment revenues.

9.       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004, "Share-Based Payment"). SFAS No. 123R is a revision
of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes ABP
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No. 123R
requires all share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants
of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on
their fair values. SFAS No. 123R is effective at the beginning of the first
annual period beginning after June 15, 2005 (as modified by the SEC on April 14,
2005). Under ABP Opinion No. 25, no stock-based compensation cost has been
reflected in the net income of the Company for grants of stock options to
employees. Beginning in fiscal 2007, the Company will recognize compensation
expense in its financial statements based on the fair value of all share-based
payments to employees. The impact of adopting this new accounting standard on
the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows has not
yet been determined.

     In November 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF No.
03-13 "Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB No. 144 in Determining
Whether to Report Discontinued Operations." EITF No. 03-13 addresses how an
ongoing entity should evaluate whether the operations and cash flows of a
disposed component have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations
of the entity and the types of continuing involvement that constitute
significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposed component.
EITF No. 03-13 is effective with the fiscal year beginning January 30, 2005. The
adoption of this EITF did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

     FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities" ("FIN 46") was issued in January 2003. This interpretation requires
consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIE"), formerly referred to as
"special purpose entities," if certain, conditions are met. The interpretation
applied immediately to VIE's created after January 31, 2003, and to interests
obtained in VIE's after January 31, 2003. Beginning after June 15, 2003, the
interpretation applied also to VIE's created or interest obtained in VIE's
before January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation
No. 46R, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - An Interpretation of ARB
51," (revised December 2003) ("FIN 46R), which includes significant amendments
to previously issued FIN No. 46. Among other provisions, FIN 46R includes
revised transition dates for public entities. The Company adopted the provisions
of FIN 46R in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The adoption of this
interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.


10.      DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Discontinued operations represent closure in fiscal 2005 of two retail
stores in markets in Florida and Mississippi and the closure in fiscal 2006 of
one retail store in a Tennessee market where the Company does not expect another
of its existing stores to absorb the closed store's customers. For the thirteen
week periods ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, these stores had net sales
of $0 and $571,000, respectively, and pretax operating losses of $13,000 and
$60,000, respectively. For the twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2005 and
July 31, 2004, these stores had net sales of $109,000 and $1,173,000,
respectively, and pretax operating income losses of $47,000 and $56,000,
respectively. Also included in the loss on discontinued operations are store
closing costs of $4,000 and $20,000 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
July 30, 2005, respectively. Expenses relating to store closings when the store
is not classified as a discontinued operation are reported in operating, selling
and administrative expenses. If the store is closed and another store is in the
same market and the cash flows are expected to be materially recovered, the
store is not considered a discontinued operation.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

     This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause our actual
results, performance and achievements, or industry results, to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not
limited to: a restatement of our quarterly or annual financial statements as a
result of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting; the
competitive environment in the book retail industry in general and in our
specific market areas; inflation; economic conditions in general and in our
specific market areas; the number of store openings and closings; the
profitability of certain product lines, capital expenditures and future
liquidity; liability and other claims asserted against us; uncertainties related
to the Internet and our internet initiatives; and other factors referenced
herein. In addition, such forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent
upon the assumptions, estimates and dates that may be incorrect or imprecise and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Accordingly,
any forward-looking statements included herein do not purport to be predictions
of future events or circumstances and may not be realized. Given these
uncertainties, stockholders and prospective investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligations
to update any such factors or to publicly announce the results of any revisions
to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future
events or developments.


GENERAL

     We were founded in 1917 and as of July 30, 2005 we operate 207 retail
bookstores, including 172 superstores, concentrated in the southeastern United
States.

     Our growth strategy is focused on opening superstores in new and existing
market areas, particularly in the Southeast. In addition to opening new stores,
management intends to continue its practice of reviewing the profitability
trends and prospects of existing stores and closing or relocating
under-performing stores or converting stores to different formats.

     Comparable store sales are determined each fiscal quarter during the year
based on all stores that have been open at least 12 full months as of the first
day of the fiscal quarter. Any stores closed during a fiscal quarter are
excluded from comparable store sales as of the first day of the quarter in which
they close.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

     In September 2005, during the course of its effort to implement Section 404
of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, management identified certain control deficiencies.
After meeting with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, management
determined that certain of these control deficiencies constituted significant
deficiencies which in the aggregate constituted a material weakness. The
material weakness identified consists of a combination of the following
significant deficiencies relating to accounts payable: (i) inadequate controls
over the data used to perform cost of goods sold calculations; (ii) inadequate
segregation of duties for accounts payable management; and (iii) inadequate
independent verification of expense invoice payment supporting documentation.
Please see "Controls and Procedures" herein.

         Net sales increased $8.9 million, or 7.9%, to $122.4 million in the
thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005, from $113.5 million in the thirteen weeks
ended July 31, 2004. Net sales increased $14.0 million, or 6.3%, to $235.4
million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005, from $221.4 million in the
twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2004. Comparable store sales in the thirteen
weeks ended July 30, 2005 increased 4.4% when compared with the same thirteen
week period for the prior year. Comparable store sales increased 4.0% for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 30. The increase in comparable store sales for the
thirteen and twenty-six week periods was primarily due to higher sales in the
book department. The book sales increase was primarily driven by the release of
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, as well as strong sales in categories
such as Children's, History, Teen Fiction, Cooking, Humor and Inspirational.

</TABLE>

     The increase in net sales for the retail trade segment was primarily due to
higher comparable store sales for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods. The
increase in net sales for the electronic commerce segment was primarily due to
higher bestseller title order volume, including Harry Potter and the Half Blood
Prince.

     Gross profit increased $3.1 million, or 9.9%, to $34.1 million in the
thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005 when compared with $31.0 million in the same
thirteen week period for the prior year. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 30,
2005, gross profit increased $4.6 million, or 7.4%, to $65.8 million from $61.2
million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005 was 27.8% versus 27.3% in the same
period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the twenty-six weeks
ended July 30, 2005 was 27.9% versus 27.6% in the same period last year. The
increase in gross profit as a percent of net sales for the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods was partially due to increased sales of proprietary and
import product which have a higher gross profit margin.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     Operating, selling and administrative expenses were $26.8 million in the
thirteen week period ended July 30, 2005 compared to $24.6 million in the same
period last year. Operating, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage
of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005 increased to 21.9 % from
21.7% in the same period last year. The increase in operating, selling and
administrative expenses stated as a percent to sales for the thirteen-week
period was primarily due to costs incurred for increased staffing for internal
audit and outside professional fees, both related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act
compliance work. For the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005, operating,
selling and administrative expenses were $52.4 million compared to $47.7 million
in the same period last year. Operating, selling and administrative expenses as
a percentage of net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 increased
to 22.3% from 21.5% in the same period last year. The increase in operating,
selling and administrative expenses for the twenty-six week period was primarily
due to higher store selling costs due to increased staffing to improve customer
service, new store costs incurred for four stores opened in the first six
months of fiscal 2006 compared to one new store opened in the first six months
of fiscal 2005 and increased costs incurred for increased staffing for internal
audit and outside professional fees, both related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act
compliance work.

     Depreciation and amortization was $4.1 million in the thirteen week period
ended July 30, 2005 compared to $4.3 million in the same period last year. In
the twenty-six week period ended July 30, 2005 depreciation and amortization
decreased 10.2% to $8.0 million from $8.9 million in the same period last year.
Decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the impact of
certain assets becoming fully depreciated during the prior year.

and the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004:

</TABLE>


     The increase in operating income for the retail trade segment for the
thirteen and twenty-six week periods was due to strong profit growth driven by
stronger comparable store sales. Operating income for the electronic commerce
segment was relatively flat with last year for the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods even though revenue increased due to strong price competition in the
electronic commerce market, which put pressure on gross margins.

     Interest expense was $0.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005
versus $0.5 million in the same period last year and $0.8 million in the
twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 versus $1.0 million in the same period last
year. The decrease was primarily due to lower average debt balances compared
with the prior year.

     Discontinued operations represent the closure in fiscal 2005 of two retail
stores in markets in Florida and Mississippi and the closure in fiscal 2006 of
one retail store in a Tennessee market where the Company does not expect another
of its existing stores to absorb the closed store's customers. For the thirteen
week periods ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, these stores had net sales
of $0 and $571,000, respectively, and pretax operating losses of $13,000 and
$60,000, respectively. For the twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2005 and
July 31, 2004, these stores had net sales of $109,000 and $1,173,000,
respectively, and pretax operating income losses of $47,000 and $56,000,
respectively. Also included in the loss on discontinued operations are store
closing costs of $4,000 and $20,000 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
July 30, 2005, respectively. Expenses relating to store closings when the store
is not classified as a discontinued operation are reported in operating, selling
and administrative expenses. If the store is closed and another store is in the
same market and the cash flows are expected to be materially recovered, the
store is not considered a discontinued operation.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations,
including credit terms from vendors, and borrowings under its credit facility.
The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility that allows borrowings up
to $100 million, for which no principal repayments are due until the facility
expires in July 2007. The credit facility has certain financial and
non-financial covenants, the most restrictive of which is the maintenance of a
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company is in compliance with all of
the covenants, including the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as of July 30,
2005. As of July 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005, there were no outstanding
borrowings under this credit facility. The maximum and average outstanding
balances during the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005 were $23.7 million and
$14.6 million, respectively, compared to $34.4 million and $24.8 million,
respectively, for the same period in the prior year. The maximum and average
outstanding balances during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 were $23.7
million and $12.0 million, respectively, compared to $34.4 million and $25.3
million, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in
the maximum and average outstanding balances from the prior year was due to the
pay down of debt during fiscal 2005 with cash provided by operating activities.
The outstanding borrowings as of July 30, 2005 had interest rates ranging from
3.89% to 5.11%.


     Additionally, as of July 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005, the Company has
outstanding borrowings under the Bond, an industrial revenue bond totaling $7.5
million which is secured by certain property. The Bond has a maturity date of
December 1, 2019, with a purchase provision obligating the Company to repurchase
the Bond on May 30, 2007, unless extended by the bondholder. Such an extension
may be renewed annually by the bondholder, at the Company's request, to a date
not more than five years from the renewal date.

Financial Position

     Inventory balances at July 30, 2005 compared to January 29, 2005 decreased
slightly due to improved inventory management. Accrued expenses at July 30, 2005
compared to January 29, 2005 decreased due to lower capital expenditure accruals
and payment of fiscal 2005 management bonuses in the first quarter of fiscal
2006. Annual bonuses are normally paid in the first quarter of the year
following the year the bonus was earned.

at the Company's request, to a date not more than five years from the renewal
date.

Guarantees

     From time to time, the Company enters into certain types of agreements that
contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third party
claims. Generally these agreements relate to: (a) agreements with vendors and
suppliers, under which the Company may provide customary indemnification to its
vendors and suppliers in respect of actions they take at the Company's request
or otherwise on its behalf, (b) agreements to



                                       18
<PAGE>
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

indemnify the vendors against trademark and copyright infringement claims
concerning the books published or merchandise manufactured specifically for or
on behalf of the Company, (c) real estate leases, under which the Company may
agree to indemnify the lessors from claims arising from the Company's use of the
property, and (d) agreements with the Company's directors, officers and
employees, under which the Company may agree to indemnify such persons for
liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company. The Company has
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance, which, subject to the policy's
conditions, provides coverage for indemnification amounts payable by the Company
with respect to its directors and officers up to specified limits and subject to
certain deductibles.

     The nature and terms of these types of indemnities vary. The events or
circumstances that would require the Company to perform under these indemnities
are transaction and circumstance specific. Generally, the Company's maximum
liability under such indemnities is not explicitly stated, and therefore the
overall maximum amount of the Company's obligations cannot be reasonably
estimated. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant costs related
to performance under these types of indemnities. No liabilities have been
recorded for these obligations on the Company's balance sheet at July 30, 2005
and January 29, 2005 as such liabilities are considered de minimis.


Cash Flows

     Operating activities provided (used) cash of ($2.3) million and $7.5
million in the twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004,
respectively, and included the following effects:

o        Cash provided by inventories in the twenty-six week periods ended July
         30, 2005 and July 31, 2004 was $0.5 million and $0.7 million,
         respectively.
o        Cash used for accounts payable in the twenty-six week periods ended
         July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004 was $5.9 million and ($0.7) million,
         respectively. This change was due to the timing of payments for
         purchases from vendors in the first six months of fiscal 2006.
o        Depreciation and amortization expenses were $8.0 million and $9.0
         million, respectively in the twenty-six week periods ended July 30,
         2005 and July 31, 2004. Decrease in depreciation and amortization
         expense was due to the impact of certain assets becoming fully
         depreciated during the prior year.

     Cash flows used in investing activities reflected a $5.3 million and $5.4
million net use of cash for the twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2005 and
July 31, 2004, respectively. Cash was used primarily to fund capital
expenditures for new stores, store relocations, renovation and improvements to
existing stores, and investments in management information systems.

     Financing activities used cash of $1.8 million and $2.1 million in the
twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, respectively. The
cash used in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 was primarily used for the
purchase of treasury stock and for the payment of dividends. This was partially
offset by cash generated by the exercise of employee stock options. Cash used in
the prior year's twenty-six week period was principally for net repayments for
the revolving credit facility.

     On June 23, 2005, the Company commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender
offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of its outstanding
common stock at a price per share of not less than $8.75 nor in excess of $10.00
per share, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $40.0 million. Pursuant to
the Tender Offer, the Company purchased 56,406 shares of common stock at a
purchase price of $10.00 per share, for a total cost of $564,060.

OUTLOOK

     During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005, the Company opened four
stores, relocated one store, remodeled thirteen stores and closed three stores.
For the remainder of fiscal 2006, the Company expects to open three to five
stores, complete remodels on approximately five to ten stores, and close one to
two stores. The Company's capital expenditures totaled $5.3 million in the
twenty-six week period ended July 30, 2005. Management estimates that capital
expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2006 will be approximately $10.7
million and that such amounts will be used primarily for opening new stores,
relocating and remodeling existing stores, upgrading and expanding warehouse
distribution facilities, and investing in management information systems.
Management believes that existing cash on hand and net cash from operating
activities, together with borrowings under the Company's credit facilities, will
be adequate to finance the Company's planned capital expenditures and to meet
the Company's working capital requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2006 and
for all of fiscal 2007.

and $54,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004,
respectively.

     The Company leases its principal executive offices from a trust,
beneficiaries of which are the grandchildren of Mr. Charles C. Anderson, a
former member of the Board of Directors. The lease extends to January 31, 2006.
During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, the Company
paid rent of $69,000 in each period to the trust under this lease. Anderson &
Anderson LLC ("A&A"), an affiliate through common ownership, also leases three
buildings to the Company. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 and
July 31, 2004, the Company paid A&A a total of $222,000 and $220,000,
respectively, in connection with such leases. Total minimum future rental
payments under all of these leases are $69,000 at July 30, 2005. The Company
subleases certain property to Hibbett Sporting Goods, Inc. ("Hibbett"), a
sporting goods retailer in the southeastern United States. The Company's
Executive Chairman, Clyde B. Anderson, is a member of Hibbett's board of
directors. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004,
the Company received $95,000 in rent payments from Hibbett.

     The Company shares ownership of a plane, which the Company uses in the
operation of its business, with an affiliated company. The Company rents the
plane to affiliated companies at rates that cover all of the variable cost, and
a portion of the fixed cost of the plane. The total amounts received from
affiliated companies for use of the plane during the twenty-six weeks ended July
30, 2005 and July 31, 2004, was $157,000 and $130,000, respectively. The Company
also occasionally rents a plane from A&A as well. The amounts paid to A&A for
plane rental were $31,000 and $15,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30,
2005 and July 31, 2004, respectively.

           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



     The Company is subject to interest rate fluctuations involving its credit
facilities and debt related to an industrial development revenue bond (the
"Bond"). However, the Company uses fixed interest rate hedges to manage this
exposure. The Company entered into the Credit Facility Hedges, both of which
expired in August 2005. The Credit Facility Hedges effectively fixed the
interest rate on $20 million of variable credit facility debt at 5.13% . The
Company has not replaced the Credit Facility Hedges. In addition, the Company
entered into the Bond Hedge that expires in June 2006 and effectively fixes the
interest rate on the Bond at 8.73%. The counter party to the Bond Hedge is a
primary bank in the Company's credit facility. The Company believes the credit
and liquidity risk of the counter party failing to meet its obligation under the
Bond Hedge is remote.

     To illustrate the sensitivity of the results of operations to changes in
interest rates on its debt, the Company estimates that a 66% increase in LIBOR
rates would have increased interest expense by approximately $82,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2005. Likewise, a 66% decrease in LIBOR rates
would have decreased interest expense by $82,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
July 31, 2004. This hypothetical change in LIBOR rates was calculated based on
the fluctuation in LIBOR in 2002, which was the maximum LIBOR fluctuation in the
last ten years. The estimates do not consider the effect of the potential
termination of the interest rate swaps associated with the debt will have on
interest expense.

                             CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     We are committed to maintaining disclosure controls and procedures designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, chief
financial officer and the Board of Directors, as appropriate, to allow for
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required by Rules 13a-15 and
15d-15 under the Exchange Act, management, with the participation of our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this report. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures and implementing controls and procedures based on the application of
management's judgment.

     In September 2005, during the course of its effort to implement Section 404
of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, management identified certain control deficiencies.
After meeting with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, management
determined that certain of these control deficiencies constituted significant
deficiencies which in the aggregate constituted a material weakness. The Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 2 defines a
significant deficiency as a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that adversely affects the company's ability to initiate,
authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more
than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company's annual or interim
financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or
detected and defines a material weakness as a significant deficiency, or
combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected. As a result of this material
weakness, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded
that, as of September 13, 2005, the date this report was originally due to be
filed, and the date of the filing of this report, our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

     The material weakness identified consists of a combination of the following
significant deficiencies relating to accounts payable: (i) inadequate controls
over the data used to perform cost of goods sold calculations; (ii) inadequate
segregation of duties for accounts payable management; and (iii) inadequate
independent verification of expense invoice payment supporting documentation.

     Inadequate controls over the data used to perform cost of goods sold
calculations. Because we do not accumulate product cost data at the item level,
we calculate cost of goods sold and determine vendor payments and return credits
using product line cost data for each vendor. We generally purchase inventory at
a wholesale cost that is expressed as a discount from the suggested retail price
for the product. When merchandise is received at the warehouse, the discount
percentage established for each vendor is used to calculate the expected cost of
the merchandise and a warehouse receipt is generated. The warehouse receipt is
matched to the vendor's invoice at the total receipt/invoice level to ensure the
accuracy of the receipt of product ordered and the amount of payment due to the
vendor.

     Many vendors have several different product lines which may have different
discount percentages. For example, publishers, who collectively constitute a
majority of our vendors, have several different imprints under which they
publish and sell books which they sell to us under varying discount percentages.
However, information used in the item master file, which is within the warehouse
system, to calculate cost of receipts and returns is generated based on a
standard discount percentage at the vendor level, which may not match the
discount percentage on each product line that we purchase from or return to that
vendor. Calculations done at the vendor discount level can cause discrepancies
in the cost amounts determined for the merchandise receipts and returns versus
the amounts charged by the vendor. Discrepancies in merchandise receipt amounts
versus vendor invoice amounts above certain tolerances are reviewed to ensure
the vendor is paid the proper amount. However, the cumulative effect of
discrepancies under the tolerance levels could have an impact on inventory
shrinkage. The cost charged for product on returns is based on the vendor
discount reflected in the system and is not reconciled until after the vendor
issues credit for the return. A delay in vendor processing of returns, which
could increase unresolved return disputes, could also impact inventory shrinkage
results.

     In addition, because of the lack of item level cost detail for products, a
weighted average cost by product line must be determined, which is then applied
to sales amounts to calculate cost of goods sold. The weighted average cost
percentages are calculated using invoice level data to determine the cost of
goods sold percentages by product line. The percentages are determined for each
product line using a sampling of invoices for each period. We


                                       22
<PAGE>

have determined that the sample size used historically may have not been large
enough to allow us to adequately calculate cost of goods sold on a quarterly
basis.

     Due to the risk that discrepancies can arise that could affect our vendor
payment and return cost calculations which could impact our cost of goods sold,
we are adding item level cost data to the item master file. This will provide
accurate item level cost information for merchandise receipts and publisher
returns. We expect to complete this change to add item level detail by April 29,
2006, the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which will enable us to use
item level data to calculate cost of goods sold.

     To mitigate the risk of error in the cost of goods sold calculation until
the enhancements to the item master file are in place, during the second quarter
of fiscal 2006 we performed a reconciliation of inventory balances per the
financial records to the physical inventory per the perpetual inventory system
for the warehouse. This reconciliation process involved a detailed review of
activity posted to the financial records since the last physical inventory at
the warehouse in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and compares the financial
inventory balances to the physical totals per the perpetual inventory system.
The shrinkage calculated during the reconciliation completed as of the second
quarter of fiscal 2006 was insignificant. The reconciliation process to the
physical inventory per the perpetual system will also be completed as of the end
of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, and a full physical inventory at the
warehouse will be taken and reconciled to the financial records at year end.
Also, the sample size of invoices reviewed for verifying the cost of goods sold
percentages by product line will be expanded until the new system for
calculating the cost of goods sold at the item level discount is in place.

     The additions to and maintenance of item level discount percentages on the
item master file is also expected to improve the accuracy of discount
percentages used to calculate the credits for merchandise returns. This is
expected to reduce the risk of miscalculating the credits for returns
significantly. We will continue to reconcile the major vendors' statement
activity to payables activity on a quarterly basis to identify return
differences and resolve those discrepancies with vendors.

     Inadequate segregation of duties for accounts payable management and
inadequate controls over access to the payables vendor master file. The director
of accounts payable and the manager of accounts payable together manage all
accounts payable, including the reconciliation of accounts payable detail
activity to the general ledger. While our procedures for accounts payable state
that neither the director nor the manager are allowed to be involved in vendor
master file maintenance, as of the end of the second quarter the system did not
prevent either of them from making entries to, or performing maintenance on, the
vendor master file. As of October 14, 2005, access privileges to the vendor file
for the director and the manager have been revoked. Also, starting with the
October, 2005 monthly closing process, a senior accounting manager outside of
the accounts payable function will reconcile the accounts payable detail
activity to the general ledger each month. Management believes that this
significant deficiency will be remediated by the end of the third quarter of
fiscal 2006.

     Inadequate independent verification of expense invoice supporting
documentation. In addition to having responsibility for the merchandise payment
process, the accounts payable department also has the responsibility to manage
and process payments for expense invoices. Our policies and procedures in place
as of the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were not adequate to ensure that expense
invoices processed for payment were approved by management at the appropriate
level and that supporting documentation was adequate to support the amount being
paid.

     We have established company wide expense approval policies and procedures
by department that specifically identify which employees have authority for
approving invoices, the maximum dollar threshold they can approve and the dollar
threshold at which additional approval is required. These new policies and
procedures were implemented on October 14, 2005. By the end of the third quarter
of fiscal 2006 the policies and procedures will also define supporting
documentation required to be provided with expense invoices for approval by
management.

     To mitigate the risk of misstatement of expense activity during the second
quarter of fiscal 2006, we completed a subsequent review of invoices processed
for approximately sixty days after the end of the quarter. This process did not
identify any significant changes to the amounts originally accrued for the
second quarter closing. To provide additional controls for the review of expense
activity for the third quarter we will reconcile the vendor statements for
significant expense vendors to financial records prior to December 13, 2005.


                                       23
<PAGE>

     Although we continue to implement remediation efforts, a material weakness
indicates that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a
future period. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will not in the future
identify additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our
internal control over financial reporting. The efforts we have taken and
continue to take are subject to continued management review supported by
confirmation and testing by management, our internal auditors and the outside
consultants, as well as audit committee oversight. As a result, additional
changes are expected to be made to our internal control over financial
reporting. There have been no other material changes during the current quarter
in our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
control over financial reporting.

         registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
         us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
         which this report is being prepared;

         reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting; and

         or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
         reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
         record, process, summarize and report financial information; and


         b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
         other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
         internal control over financial reporting.
