REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
------------------------------
Board of Directors
Michaels Stores, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for plan benefits of Michaels Stores, Inc. Employees 401(k) Plan
(the Plan) as of January 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. 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 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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Plan at January 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes
in its net assets available for plan benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying
supplemental schedules of Assets Held for Investment Purposes as of
January 31, 1995 (Schedule 1) and Reportable Transactions for the
year then ended (Schedule 2) are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The fund information in the statements of net
assets available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

MICHAELS STORES, INC. EMPLOYEES 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1995
1. Description of the Plan and Basis of Presentation
-------------------------------------------------
The Michaels Stores, Inc. Employees 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") became
effective on February 1, 1987, for eligible employees of Michaels
Stores, Inc. (the "Employer" or the "Company"). The Plan is a defined
contribution plan designed to comply with the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The following is a brief description of
the Plan. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for complete
information regarding the Plan.
Merger of Leewards' Plan - Effective January 1, 1995, the Leewards
Profit Sharing and 401 (k) Plan (the "Leewards' Plan") was merged with
and into the Plan. The net assets of the Leewards' Plan are included in
the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan benefits at
January 31, 1995. Changes in Leewards' Plan's net assets available for
plan benefits prior to the date of the merger are not included in the
accompanying statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits.
Participation - Employees become eligible to participate in the
Plan once they have reached the age of 21 and have completed 1,000 hours
of service during the previous twelve months. Eligible employees who
desire to participate in the Plan must elect to participate on the form
or forms provided by the Plan's Administration Committee and authorize
the Employer to make payroll deductions for contributions to the Plan.
Contributions - Each participant may elect to have his/her salary
reduced, in increments of whole percents, at a minimum of 1% up to a
maximum of 15% of the participant's considered compensation, as defined
by the Plan, and have the Employer contribute to the Plan the amount of
such reduction ("Salary Reduction Contribution"). A participant's
Salary Reduction Contribution may not exceed an amount determined by the
Internal Revenue Service each calendar year ($9,240 in 1995 and 1994).
Each participant may also elect to make voluntary, after-tax
contributions at a minimum of 1% up to a maximum of 10% of the
participant's considered compensation ("Employee Contributions"). In
addition, the Employer is required to make an annual contribution
("Employer Matching Contribution") to the account of each participant in
an amount equal to 50% of the participant's Salary Reduction
Contribution up to a maximum of 6% of such participant's considered
compensation. The annual Employer Matching Contribution may not exceed
3% of such participant's total considered compensation for the year.
F-6
Employer Matching Contributions are net of forfeitures, as defined, and
are to be deposited no later than the date on which the Employer files
its federal income tax return for such year, including any extensions
which have been granted. Forfeitures of $47,000 and $266,000 were
applied against Employer Matching Contributions to the Plan for the
years ended January 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During 1994 and
1993, Employer Matching Contributions exceeded the amount required under
the Plan document by $1,809,000 and $1,500,000, respectively. The
excess contributions are attributable to unsecured advances made for the
payment of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan. These
excess contributions will be used to satisfy 1995 and a portion of 1996
Employer Matching Contributions.
The Plan provides for, among other things, an Investment Committee to
direct Plan investments held in trust and managed by trustees (the
"Trustees"), all employees of the Employer, appointed by the Board of
Directors of the Employer. Participants may elect investment of their
Salary Reduction Contributions and Employee Contributions in one of or
in a combination of any four of the following investment options (except
the Leewards Conversion Subfund):
(a) General Subfund - consists of investments in the common
stock of the Employer and idle cash utilized to purchase
Employer common stock. All Employer Matching Contributions
are invested in the General Subfund. At January 31, 1995,
1,174 employees participated in this subfund.
(b) American Balanced Subfund - a mutual fund investing in
both domestic growth and income producing securities seeking
conservation of capital, current income, and long term growth
of both capital and income. At January 31, 1995, 520
employees participated in this subfund.
(c) Growth Fund of America Subfund - a mutual fund investing
in domestic growth equities seeking growth of capital. At
January 31, 1995, 759 employees participated in this subfund.
(d) Intermediate Bond Fund of America Subfund - a mutual
fund investing in intermediate term investment grade
corporate bonds and government instruments seeking current
income and preservation of capital. At January 31, 1995, 507
employees participated in this subfund.
(e) Investment Company of America Subfund - a mutual fund
investing in common stocks seeking long term growth of
capital and income. At January 31, 1995, 710 employees
participated in this subfund.
(f) New Perspective Subfund - a mutual fund investing in
both domestic and foreign securities, including both equity
and debt instruments, seeking long term growth of capital.
At January 31, 1995, 479 employees participated in this
subfund.
F-7
(g) Leewards Conversion Subfund - consists of investments with an
insurance company in a guaranteed investment contract and a money
market account. In March 1995 the investments were liquidated,
less a $124,000 contract fee, and investment balances were re-
directed by the participants to the investment options available,
including the General Subfund. At January 31, 1995, 745 employees
held funds remaining in the Leewards Conversion Subfund.
Administration of the Plan - The Plan is administered by an
Administration Committee consisting of two persons, both employees of
the Employer, appointed by the Employer's Board of Directors. The
members of the Administration Committee serve at the discretion of the
Board of Directors without compensation for their services.
A separate account is maintained for each participant. The account
balances for participants are adjusted periodically as follows:
(a) Salary Reduction Contributions and Employee Contributions and any
withdrawals are allocated on a monthly basis.
(b) Employer Matching Contributions are allocated to participants'
accounts quarterly on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31.
(c) Income and gains and losses from investments are also allocated to
the participants' accounts quarterly determined by the percentage which
the participant's account balance at the end of the period bears to the
total of all participants' account balances at that date.
Vesting - Participants become partially vested in the Employer Matching
Contributions (including investment income and gains and losses thereon)
at the rate of: 20% after two years of service; 40% after three years;
60% after four years; and 80% after five years. Employer Matching
Contributions vest 100% upon completing six years of service (five years
of service for individuals employed before May 1, 1992); attaining the
age of 65; becoming disabled; or death. Salary Reduction Contributions
and Employee Contributions are 100% vested and are nonforfeitable.
Withdrawals - Upon death, disability or termination of employment with
the Company, participants are entitled to the vested portion of Employer
Matching Contributions and 100% of Salary Reduction Contributions and
Employee Contributions.
Income tax status - The Plan is designed to be a qualified plan under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") and exempt from
federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan has not
yet received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service as to the qualification for tax exempt status; however, a
favorable determination letter is expected.
F-8
Salary Reduction Contributions and Employer Matching Contributions are
not included in the participant's gross income for federal income tax
purposes in the year such contributions are made. A participant will
not be subject to federal income taxes with respect to these
contributions until the amounts are withdrawn or distributed. Employee
Contributions are not excluded from a participant's gross income for
federal income tax purposes in the year such contributions are made.
Termination of the Plan - While the Employer has not expressed any
intent to discontinue the Plan, the Employer may terminate the Plan at
any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, the participants would
become fully vested, and the net assets would be distributed to
participants in proportion to their account balances.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
------------------------------------------
Investments in the common stock of the Employer are valued at the last
reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year as
reported on the NASDAQ National Market System. Investments in the
mutual funds of American Funds Service Company are valued at the last
