Note C—Redemption of the Convertible Subordinated Notes

    On June 9, 2000, the Company called for the redemption on June 29, 2000 of the convertible subordinated notes due January 15, 2003 (the "Securities"). The aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding was $96,935,000. The holders had the option to convert their Securities into shares of Michaels common stock prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 22, 2000, at a price of $38.00 per share. Alternatively, holders could have their Securities redeemed on June 29, 2000 at a total redemption price of $1,051.25 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, including a premium for early redemption and accrued interest.

6

    As a result, the majority of the Securities were surrendered by the June 22, 2000 conversion date and were converted into 2,445,565 shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining Securities were redeemed at a total redemption price of $4,206,051 on June 29, 2000. The loss from the redemption was not material.

Results of Operations

    The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of each line item of our Consolidated Statements of Income. This table should be read in conjunction with the following discussion and with our Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes.

	Quarter Ended				Six Months Ended

Quarter ended July 29, 2000, compared with the quarter ended July 31, 1999

    Net sales for the three months ended July 29, 2000 increased $79.3 million, or 22%, over the three months ended July 31, 1999. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000, we operated 597 Michaels and 104 Aaron Brothers stores. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 included sales from 68 Michaels and 22 Aaron Brothers stores that were opened or acquired during the 12-month period ended July 29, 2000, more than offsetting lost sales from 7 Michaels and no Aaron Brothers store closures. Sales at the new stores (net of closures) during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 accounted

7

for $52.7 million of the increase in net sales. Same-store sales increased 8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from the second quarter of fiscal 1999, which contributed $26.6 million to the net sales increase. The improvement in same-store sales was due to a strong performance in our core categories of ribbon, general crafts, art supplies, seasonal and framing. Going forward, we expect to achieve same-store sales increases for the remainder of fiscal 2000, taken as a whole. Our ability to continue to generate same-store sales increases is dependent, in part, on our ability to continue to maintain store in-stock positions on the top-selling items, to properly allocate seasonal merchandise to the stores based upon anticipated sales trends utilizing POS rate of sale information, and the success of our sales promotion efforts.

    Cost of sales and occupancy expense, as a percentage of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was 67.2%, a decrease of 1.0% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to improved initial markup on inventories and improvements from our promotional strategy resulting in a decrease in promotional markdowns, partially offset by higher occupancy costs associated with new and relocated stores.

    Selling, general and administrative expense, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 0.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999. This increase resulted principally from expenses associated with our supply chain initiative and increased advertising expenses, as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by improved expense leverage in depreciation and amortization expenses.

    Store pre-opening costs, as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 0.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999, as we opened, acquired or relocated 19 Michaels and 8 Aaron Brothers stores in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 29 Michaels and 2 Aaron Brothers stores in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

    Operating income, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 1.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999. This improvement represents a 103% increase in operating income over the second quarter of fiscal 1999, on a 22% increase in net sales during the same period, to $13.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $6.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

    Interest expense (net of interest income), as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 0.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999. This decrease resulted from a leveraging of interest expense on expanded sales and the conversion and redemption of the convertible subordinated notes in June 2000.

    The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was 40% compared with 38% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, due to the Company's reduction in the valuation allowance for net operating losses utilized in fiscal 1999.

Six months ended July 29, 2000, compared with the six months ended July 31, 1999

    Net sales for the six months ended July 29, 2000 increased $163.3 million, or 22%, over the six months ended July 31, 1999. At the end of the first six months of fiscal 2000, we operated 597 Michaels and 104 Aaron Brothers stores. The results for the first six months of fiscal 2000 included sales from 68 Michaels and 22 Aaron Brothers stores that were opened or acquired during the 12-month period ended July 29, 2000, more than offsetting lost sales from 7 Michaels and no Aaron Brothers store

8

closures. Sales at the new stores (net of closures) during the first six months of fiscal 2000 accounted for $109.2 million of the increase in net sales. Same-store sales increased 7% in the first six months of fiscal 2000 from the first six months of fiscal 1999, which contributed $54.1 million to the net sales increase. The improvement in same-store sales was due to a strong performance in our core categories of ribbon, general crafts, art supplies, seasonal and framing.

    Cost of sales and occupancy expense, as a percentage of net sales, for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was 66.6%, a decrease of 1.3% compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to improved initial markup on inventories and improvements from our promotional strategy resulting in a decrease in promotional markdowns, partially offset by higher occupancy costs associated with new and relocated stores.

    Selling, general and administrative expense, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 0.3% in the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999. This increase resulted principally from expenses associated with our supply chain initiative and increased advertising expenses, as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by improved expense leverage in depreciation and amortization expenses.

    Store pre-opening costs, as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 0.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999, as we opened, acquired or relocated 49 Michaels and 10 Aaron Brothers stores in the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to 55 Michaels and 5 Aaron Brothers stores in the first six months of fiscal 1999.

    Operating income, as a percentage of net sales, increased by 1.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999. This improvement represents a 75% increase in operating income over the first six months of fiscal 1999, on a 22% increase in net sales during the same period, to $34.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to $19.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 1999.

    Interest expense (net of interest income), as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 0.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1999. This decrease resulted from a leveraging of interest expense on expanded sales and the conversion and redemption of the convertible subordinated notes in June 2000.

    The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was 40% compared with 38% in the first six months of fiscal 1999, due to the Company's reduction in the valuation allowance for net operating losses utilized in fiscal 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Cash flow used in operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2000 was $15.4 million, compared with cash flow used in operating activities of $25.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 1999. This improvement was principally due to a much smaller increase in merchandise inventories, which increased 5% since January 29, 2000, primarily because of the addition of 40 Michaels and 9 Aaron Brothers stores during the first six months of fiscal 2000. Inventories per Michaels store at July 29, 2000 decreased 1% from July 31, 1999. This decrease in average inventory per store resulted at the same time as we achieved same-store sales increases by maintaining a good store in-stock position. Our plans are to continue to refine our basic inventory levels carried in our

9

distribution centers and stores, striving to find the right balance of safety stock. By year-end, we believe our per store inventories will be approximately 5% below fiscal 1999 year-end levels.

    We opened 39 Michaels and 9 Aaron Brothers stores and relocated 9 Michaels and 1 Aaron Brothers stores during the first six months of fiscal 2000. Capital expenditures for the newly opened stores amounted to approximately $25.8 million. Additional capital expenditures of approximately $14.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2000 related primarily to existing stores and various information systems enhancements. We expect additional capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2000 to total approximately $86 million, related primarily to costs for new stores, store relocations and remodeling, distribution facilities, information systems, and various other projects.

    In fiscal 1999 and 1998, we repurchased 364,000 and 1,145,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock ("Common Stock") for an aggregate purchase price of $11.5 million and $20.4 million, respectively, and placed the shares in treasury. In the first quarter of fiscal 2000, we retired all of the Common Stock held in treasury. Pursuant to a plan approved by the Board of Directors in July 1999 to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000 through September 8, 2000, we repurchased and subsequently retired 694,000 shares of our Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $26.6 million.

    On June 9, 2000, the Company called for the redemption on June 29, 2000 of the convertible subordinated notes due January 15, 2003 (the "Securities"). The aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding was $96,935,000. The holders had the option to convert their Securities into shares of Common Stock by June 22, 2000, at a price of $38.00 per share. Alternatively, holders could have their Securities redeemed on June 29, 2000 at a total redemption price of $1,051.25 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, including a premium for early redemption and accrued interest. The majority of the Securities were surrendered by the June 22, 2000 conversion date and were converted into 2,445,565 shares of Common Stock. The remaining Securities were redeemed at a total redemption price of $4.2 million on June 29, 2000. The loss from the redemption was not material.

    In the first six months of fiscal 2000, proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options covering 3,515,518 shares of Common Stock amounted to $75.7 million.

    At July 29, 2000, we had working capital of $540.5 million, compared to $452.0 million at January 29, 2000. We currently have a bank credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") providing for an unsecured revolving line of credit of $100 million, which may be increased to $125 million under specific conditions. No borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Agreement at July 29, 2000 or at July 31, 1999. We believe that our available cash, funds generated by operating activities, funds available under our Credit Agreement and proceeds from the exercise of stock options will be sufficient to fund anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements.
