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

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of Books-A-Million, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") for the thirteen
week periods ended May 4, 2002 and May 5, 2001, have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("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 Company's most recently available annual report. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements included herein contain all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except for the restatement and
change in accounting principle as discussed in Note 10 and Note 11,
respectively) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial position as of May 4, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the thirteen week periods ended May 4, 2002 and May 5, 2001. 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.

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

2.  NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

         Basic net income (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing
income (loss) available to common shareholders 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 average number of shares outstanding including the
effect of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, in each respective thirteen
week period. A reconciliation of the weighted average shares for basic and
diluted EPS is as follows:

3.  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 both fixed and variable debt to manage
this exposure. On February 9, 1998, the company entered into an interest rate
swap agreement with a five-year term that carries a notional principal amount of
$30.0 million. The swap effectively fixes the interest rate on $30.0 million of
variable rate debt at 6.78%, and expires February 2003. In addition, the Company
entered into a $7.5 million interest swap in May 1996 that effectively fixes the
interest rate on the Bond at 7.98%, and expires in June 2006. The counter party
to the interest rate swaps is one of the Company's primary banks. The Company
believes the credit and liquidity risk of the counter party failing to meet its
obligation is remote as the Company settles its interest position with the bank
on a quarterly basis.

         The Company's hedges are designated as cash flow hedges. Cash flow
hedges protect against the variability in future cash outflows of current or
forecasted debt. Interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed
payments are cash flow hedges. The changes in the fair value of these hedges are
reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to either
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) or in earnings, depending on the
type of hedging relationship. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) may be realized and reclassified
to earnings.

         The derivative instruments are a liability classified as Other
Long-Term Liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets
at their fair value of $1.8 million and $2.0 million as of May 4, 2002 and
February 2, 2002, respectively. For the quarter, adjustments of $0.1 million
(net of tax of $73,000) were recorded as unrealized gains in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) and are detailed in Note 4 below.

4.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

         Comprehensive income (loss) is net income or loss, 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 derivative instruments explained in Note 3, as follows:

5.  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.


6.  GOODWILL


         During fiscal 2002, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis
over its estimated periods to be benefited. On February 3, 2002, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", in its entirety. Pursuant to such adoption, the
Company did not amortize any goodwill during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
The Company has recorded amortization expense on goodwill of approximately
$43,000 for fiscal 2000, 2001 and 2002. The amount of amortization expense that
would have been recorded in future years if SFAS No. 142 was not adopted on
February 3, 2002 would be approximately $43,000 per year through fiscal 2034.


         The Company is required to assess goodwill for impairment annually, or
more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The
Company reviewed the carrying value of its goodwill by comparing such amount to
its fair value utilizing a discounted cash flow model and determined that the
carrying amount of such asset did not exceed its fair value. Accordingly, the
initial implementation of this statement did not impact the Company's
consolidated financial statements.


7.  ACQUISITION OF STORES

         During March 2001, the Company acquired inventory and lease-rights of
eighteen stores from Crown Books Corporation for $6.5 million (which was
allocated predominantly to inventories). The stores are located in the Chicago,
Illinois and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas. The results of operations for
these stores were reflected in the consolidated financial statements beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Pro-forma information is not presented as
it would not differ materially from the actual reflected results


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 most recently available Annual Report. The
Company evaluates performance of the segments based on profit and loss from
operations before interest and income taxes. Certain inter-segment cost
allocations have been made based upon consolidated and segment revenues.

9.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         During 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations" and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 143 related to obligations which
generally are incurred in connection with the ownership of real property. The
Company currently leases the substantial majority of our real property and,
therefore, the provisions of SFAS No. 143 do not apply to our current
operations.

         SFAS No. 144 superseded SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the
accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
30, "Reporting the Results of Operations and Transactions"--"Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business," and "Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" for the disposal of a segment of
a business. SFAS No. 144 also amended Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements," to eliminate the exception to consolidation
for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 143 and SFAS No. 144 on February 3, 2002, which did not have a
material impact on financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


10.  RESTATEMENT

         Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's quarterly fiscal 2003
financial statements and fiscal 2002 annual financial statements, the Company
determined that it was necessary to restate its fiscal 2003 quarterly filings
and its fiscal 2002 annual financial statements to adjust the accounting
treatment of its Millionaire's Club Card. As a result, the Company now defers
and amortizes the revenue from its Millionaire's Club Card based upon the
historical usage of the card over the 12-month life. Related deferred revenue is
included in accrued expenses. Such revenue was previously recorded when received
from the customer.

         The Company has also reclassified certain vendor allowances of
$1,164,000 and $851,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 and 2002,
respectively, previously reported as a reduction of selling expenses, to reduce
cost of products sold.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have also been
restated to reflect the adoption of EITF No. 02-16 as if this cumulative effect
of the change had been previously presented in the first quarter of fiscal 2003
as discussed in Note 11.

         The following are reconciliations of the Company's balance sheet
amounts and results of operations from financial statements previously filed
(after certain reclassifications) to the restated and condensed consolidated
financial statements (in thousands, except per share amounts):

11.  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

         The Company receives allowances from its vendors from a variety of
programs and arrangements, including placement and co-operative advertising
programs. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, effective February 3, 2002, the
Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 02-16, "Accounting by a
Customer (including a reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a
Vendor," which addresses the accounting for vendor allowances. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the adoption of
EITF No. 02-16 as if this cumulative effect of the change had been previously
presented in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. As a result of the adoption of
this statement, vendor allowances in excess of direct costs are reflected as a
reduction of inventory costs and recognized in costs of products sold upon the
sale of the related inventory. The adoption of EITF No. 02-16 is reflected as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of February 3, 2002 of
approximately $1.2 million, net of deferred income tax benefit of $736,000, or
$0.07 per diluted share. This change increased net earnings before cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle by $182,000 ($0.01 per basic and
diluted share) for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2002. The Company previously
recognized these vendor allowances over the period covered by the vendor
arrangement.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 actual
results, performance, achievements of the Company, 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, the competitive environment in the book retail industry
in general and in the Company's specific market areas; inflation; economic
conditions in general and in the Company's 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
the Company; uncertainties related to the Internet and the Company's 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, shareholders
and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims 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

         The Company was founded in 1917 and currently operates 204 retail
bookstores, including 158 superstores, concentrated in the southeastern United
States.

         The Company's 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.

         The Company determined that it was necessary to restate its fiscal 2002
financial statements to adjust the accounting treatment of its Millionaire's
Club Card. As a result, the Company now defers and amortizes the revenue from
its Millionaire's Club Card based upon the historical usage of the card over the
12-month life. Such revenue was previously recorded when received from the
customer. Additional information related to the restatement of the consolidated
financial statements is included in Note 10. The following discussion and
analysis gives effect to the restatement.

         Effective February 3, 2002, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for
Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor," which addresses the accounting
for vendor allowances. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements have also been restated to reflect the adoption of EITF No. 02-16 as
if this cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle had been
previously presented in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, as discussed in Note
11.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Inventories


         Physical inventories are taken throughout the course of the fiscal
period. Store inventory counts are performed by an independent inventory service
while warehouse inventory counts are performed internally. All physical
inventory counts are reconciled to the Company's records. The Company's accrual
for inventory shortages is estimated based upon historical inventory shortage
results.


         Cost is assigned to store and warehouse inventories using the retail
inventory method. Using this method, store and warehouse inventories are valued
by applying a calculated cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of
inventories. The retail method is an averaging method that is widely used within
the retail industry. This methodology requires certain significant management
estimates and judgments involving markdowns, the allocation of vendor allowances
and shrinkage. These practices affect ending inventories at cost as well as the
resulting gross margins and inventory turnover ratios.

<PAGE>

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


Accrued Expenses


         On a monthly basis, certain material expenses are estimated and accrued
to properly record those expenses in the period incurred. Such estimates are
made for payroll and employee benefits costs, occupancy costs and advertising
expenses among other items. These estimates are made based upon current and
historical results.


         Differences in management's estimates and assumptions could result in
accruals that are materially different from the actual result.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales increased 3.8 % to $101.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended
May 4, 2002, from $97.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2001. The
increase in net sales resulted from two superstores and four newsstands opened
after the first quarter of fiscal 2002 combined with one superstore opened in
the first quarter of fiscal 2003. In addition, the Company opened eighteen new
stores, acquired from Crown Books Company, that started operations in the middle
part of the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

         Comparable store sales in the first quarter decreased 0.7 % when
compared with the 13-week period for the prior year. Comparable store sales for
all book categories increased 3.1 % for the quarter. The decrease in non-book
sales, driven by the decision to discontinue the sale of music in all stores and
by the strong sales in the collector's category in the prior year, contributed
to the overall decrease in total comparable store sales for the quarter.

         Gross profit increased $1.2 million or 4.7 % to $27.6 million in the
thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2002 from $26.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended
May 5, 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen weeks
ended May 4, 2002 was 27.3 % versus 27.1% in the same period last year. The
increase in gross profit stated as a percent to sales was primarily due to
reduced warehouse processing costs as a percent to sales.

         Operating, selling and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million
or 4.8 % to $22.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2002, from $21.8
million in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2001. Operating, selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen weeks
ended May 4, 2002, were 22.6% versus 22.4% in the same period last year. The
slight increase as a percent to sales was due to higher selling costs.

         Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million or 3.1 % to $4.0
million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2002, from $3.9 million in the
thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2001. The increase in depreciation and amortization
is primarily the result of the increased number of superstores operated by the
Company.

         Interest expense was $0.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4,
2002 versus $1.3 million at May 5, 2001. The decrease is due to lower average
borrowings and lower interest rates versus last year.

         Effective February 3, 2002, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") No. 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer (including a reseller) for
Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor," which addresses the accounting
for vendor allowances. The adoption of this accounting principle resulted in a
cumulative after-tax reduction to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per
diluted share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the first thirteen weeks of fiscal 2003, the Company's cash
requirements have been funded with net cash from operations and with borrowings
under the Company's credit facilities. Similar to many retailers, the Company's
business is seasonal, with its highest retail sales, gross profits and net
income traditionally occurring during the fourth fiscal quarter, reflecting the
increased demand for books and gifts during the year-end, holiday selling
season. Working capital requirements are generally highest during the third
fiscal quarter and the early part of the fourth fiscal quarter due to the
seasonality of the Company's business.

<PAGE>


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


         The Company has a revolving credit facility that allows borrowings up
to $90.0 million, for which no principal repayments are due until the facility
expires on June 18, 2003, and an unsecured working capital line of credit for
$15.0 million, which is subject to annual renewal. The Company is currently
negotiating to renew its credit facilities until fiscal year 2006. The new
facility should be completed by the second quarter of fiscal 2003. As of May 4,
2002, $55.6 million was outstanding under these facilities combined.
Additionally, as of May 4, 2002, the Company has outstanding borrowings
associated with the issuance of an industrial revenue bond totaling $7.5
million.

         The Company's capital expenditures totaled $1.1 million in the first 13
weeks of fiscal 2003. These expenditures were primarily used for new store
openings, renovation and improvements to existing stores and investment in
management information systems. Management estimates that capital expenditures
for the remainder of fiscal 2003 will be approximately $17.2 million and that
such amounts will be used primarily for new stores, renovation and improvements
to existing stores, and investments in management information systems.
Management believes that existing cash balances 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 2003.

         The following table lists the aggregate maturities of various classes
of obligations and expiration amounts of various classes of commitments related
to Books-A-Million, Inc. at May 4, 2002 (in thousands):

RELATED PARTY ACTIVITIES

         Certain stockholders and directors (including certain officers) of the
Company have controlling ownership interests in other entities with which the
Company conducts business. Significant transactions between the Company and
these various other entities ("related parties") are summarized in the following
paragraph.

         The Company purchases a portion of its inventories for resale from
related parties; such purchases were $10.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended
May 4, 2002, versus $12.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2001. The
decrease in related party purchases is primarily due to lower purchases of music
merchandise. The Company sells a portion of its inventories to related parties;
such sales amounted to $0.1 million and $0.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended
May 4, 2002 and May 5, 2001, respectively. This decrease in related party sales
is primarily due to lower sales of bargain books. The Company also purchases
logistics services from a related party; such services amounted to $7,000 and
$58,000 in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2002 and May 5, 2001, respectively.
Management believes the terms of these related party transactions are
substantially equivalent to those available from unrelated parties and,
therefore, have no significant impact on gross profit.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FINANCIAL POSITION

         During the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2002, the Company opened one
superstore and closed one Bookland store. Inventory and debt balances at May 4,
2002 increased as compared to February 2, 2002 due to seasonal fluctuations in
inventory levels.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company is subject to interest rate fluctuations involving its
credit facilities. The average amount of debt outstanding under the Company's
credit facilities was $63.4 million during fiscal 2002. However, the Company
utilizes both fixed and variable debt to manage this exposure. On February 9,
1998, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, with a five-year
term, which carries a notional principal amount of $30.0 million. The swap
effectively fixes the interest rate on $30.0 million of variable rate debt at
6.78%. The swap agreement expires on February 11, 2003. Also, on May 14, 1996,
the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, with a ten- year term,
which carries a notional principal amount of $7.5 million. The swap effectively
fixes the interest rate on $7.5 million of variable rate debt at 7.98%. The swap
agreement expires on June 7, 2006. The counter party to the interest rate swaps
is one of the Company's primary banks. The Company believes the credit and
liquidity risk of the counter party failing to meet its obligation is remote as
the Company settles its interest position with the bank on a quarterly basis.
