CLASS OUTSTANDING AT MAY 31, 2003 Common Stock, par value $.01 4,797,983 EXPLANATORY NOTE - AMENDMENT This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to amend and restate Rag Shops, Inc.'s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended May 31, 2003. In December 2003, the Company received a check from Principal Financial Group, Inc. ("Principal") reflecting dividends payable in connection with common stock of Principal. Receipt of the dividend check prompted a Company inquiry which revealed that, due to its ownership of certain life insurance policies issued by Principal Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Principal, and maintained by the Company for certain key executive officers, the Company had received 9,766 shares of Principal's common stock (the "Shares") in December 2001 as consideration in the demutualization of Principal's predecessor. The effective date of the demutualization was in October 2001 and the Shares were issued in December 2001 to one of the Company's subsidiaries, the owner of the life insurance policies, in book-entry form as uncertificated shares and maintained in an account with Mellon Investor Services established by Principal in connection with its demutualization transaction. The Company had not previously recognized or recorded the Shares issued pursuant to such event. The Company has determined it will restate prior financial statements to properly reflect the transaction in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. In its restated financial statements, the Company has recorded the then fair market value ($180,671) of the Shares as part of operating income as of October 2001, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-4, "Accounting for Stock Received from the Demutualization of a Mutual Insurance Company". The Company has classified its holding in the Shares as "available-for-sale" pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Investments", whereby the investment will be carried at fair market value and subsequent changes in the market value of the investment will be reflected as an unrealized gain or loss in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheets, net of deferred income taxes. Other Comprehensive Income will be presented for all periods pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" either in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity or Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income or loss for the current period as well as income, expenses, gains or losses, net of income taxes arising during the period that are included in separate components of equity. It includes the unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale security, net of taxes. The fair market value of the Shares as of the close of business on May 31, 2003 was $310,168. Please refer to amendments to periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for periods between December 1, 2001 and November 29, 2003 for related restatements. Refer to Note 1 - Recent Developments in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For purposes of this Form 10-Q/A, and in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each item of the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 31, 2003, as originally filed on July 15, 2003, that was affected has been amended to the extent affected by the referenced correction and restated in its entirety. All other financial information and disclosures remain unchanged. Page 2 of 21 RAG SHOPS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES INDEX Page PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 1.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2003 AND JUNE 1, 2002 NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Since the Company's business is seasonal, the operating results for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results for other quarters or the fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2002. Recent Developments In December 2003, the Company received a check from Principal Financial Group, Inc. ("Principal") reflecting dividends payable in connection with common stock of Principal. Receipt of the dividend check prompted a Company inquiry which revealed that, due to its ownership of certain life insurance policies issued by Principal Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Principal, and maintained by the Company for certain key executive officers, the Company had received 9,766 shares of Principal's common stock (the "Shares") in December 2001 as consideration in the demutualization of Principal's predecessor. The effective date of the demutualization was in October 2001 and the Shares were issued in December 2001 to one of the Company's subsidiaries, the owner of the life insurance policies, in book-entry form as uncertificated shares and maintained in an account with Mellon Investor Services established by Principal in connection with its demutualization transaction. The Company had not previously recognized or recorded the Shares issued pursuant to such event. The Company has determined it will restate prior financial statements to properly reflect the transaction in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. In its restated financial statements, the Company has recorded the then fair market value ($180,671) of the Shares as part of operating income as of October 2001, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-4, "Accounting for Stock Received from the Demutualization of a Mutual Insurance Company". The Company has classified its holding in the Shares as "available-for-sale" pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Investments", whereby the investment will be carried at fair market value and subsequent changes in the market value of the investment will be reflected as an unrealized gain or loss in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheets, net of deferred income taxes. Other Comprehensive Income will be presented for all periods pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" either in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity or Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income or loss for the current period as well as income, expenses, gains or losses, net of income taxes arising during the period that are included in separate components of equity. It includes the unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale security, net of taxes. The fair market value of the Shares as of the close of business on May 31, 2003 was $310,168. Please refer to amendments to periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for periods between December 1, 2001 and November 29, 2003 for related restatements.

Accounting Policies Cost of merchandise sold, distribution and occupancy costs include merchandise purchases, inbound freight costs, distribution costs, shrinkage provision, cooperative advertising, vendor allowances, vendor rebates, store rent and other store-related occupancy costs. Distribution costs have been reclassified to cost of merchandise sold as of the beginning of the quarter ended May 31, 2003. These expenses were previously included in selling, general and administrative expenses. All comparative periods have been restated. Cooperative advertising payments received from vendors have been reclassified to cost of merchandise sold as of the beginning of the quarter ended March 1, 2003. These payments were previously offset against advertising expenses. All comparative periods have been restated. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in store expenses as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the presentation for the current year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123", ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and Page 9 of 21 provides alternative methods for accounting for a change by registrants to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Additionally, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosure in the significant accounting policy footnote of both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the related pro-forma disclosures when the intrinsic value method continues to be used. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, and disclosures are effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company does not plan a change to the fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation and has included the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 in the accompanying financial statements. In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (the "EITF") reached consensus on Issue 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor ("EITF Issue 02-16"). EITF Issue 02-16 addresses the classification of cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor (e.g., cooperative advertising payments) and rebates or refunds from a vendor that is payable only if the customer completes a specified cumulative level of purchases or remains a customer for a specified time period. The classification provisions of EITF Issue 02-16 became effective for arrangements entered into after December 31, 2002. The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF Issue 02-16 as of the beginning of the quarter ended March 1, 2003. Cooperative advertising payments received from vendors have been recorded as a reduction of cost of merchandise sold for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2003. These payments were previously offset against advertising expenses. All comparative periods have been restated. The amounts included in cost of merchandise sold relating to cooperative advertising payments received was $294,000 and $851,000 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003 and $322,000 and $891,000 for the three and nine months ended June 1, 2002. The adoption of this pronouncement did not change net income or earnings per share in any period reported herein. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has a stock based compensation plan which is described more fully in Note 4. The Company applies APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations in accounting for its plan. There has been no compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003 and June 1, 2002 as all options have been issued with exercise prices equal to the underlying stock's market price. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), using the assumptions described below to its stock based employee plans: Page 10 of 21

Stock options excluded from the above calculation, as the effect of such options would be anti-dilutive, aggregated 173,700 and 0 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003, respectively, and 2,250 for the three and nine months ended June 1, 2002. NOTE 3 - MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES Merchandise inventories (which are all finished goods) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market as determined by the retail inventory method. NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTION PLAN On January 23, 2003, the stockholders of the Company unanimously approved the Company's 2002 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). A copy of the Plan is set forth in the Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2002. The Company's prior stock option plan expired by its terms. As of May 31, 2003 an aggregate of 74,000 options remain outstanding under the prior plan. A total of 750,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan.

Page 13 of 21. RAG SHOPS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations The following table sets forth, as a percentage of net sales, certain items appearing in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the indicated periods.
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- May 31, June 1, May 31, June 1, 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- (Previously Restated) Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of merchandise sold, occupancy and distribution costs 67.1 65.0 66.4 65.4 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Gross profit 32.9 35.0 33.6 34.6 Selling, general and administrative expenses 34.5 34.5 32.9 31.6 Gain from demutualization - - - 0.2 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Income (loss) from operations (1.6) 0.5 0.7 3.2 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- Net income (loss) (0.9)% 0.4% 0.4% 2.0% ============ =========== =========== ===========
The Company's net sales increased $2,397,000 and $4,943,000 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003, representing a 9.4% and 5.7% increase, respectively, over the comparable prior periods. The increase in net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2003 resulted from an increase in comparable store sales of $435,000 or 1.7%. The Company's comparable store sales include stores commencing with their thirteenth consecutive entire fiscal month, including stores that were expanded but excluding stores that were relocated, if any. The balance of the net sales increase of $1,962,000 related to revenue from larger new store openings, net of sales reductions for smaller closed stores. The increase in net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2003 was attributable to a $579,000 or 0.7% increase in comparable store sales plus $4,364,000 from the larger new store sales, net of sales reductions from the smaller closed stores. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased by 2.1% for the three months and 1.0% for the nine months ended May 31, 2003 compared to the prior comparable periods primarily as a result of an increase in occupancy expenses because of additional square footage and rent costs for new larger stores as compared to smaller closed stores as well as contractual increases in rent for existing stores, an increase in promotional markdowns due to a difficult retail environment in addition to the Company's planned reduction in merchandise inventory levels, and an increase in the provision for inventory shrinkage due to less than favorable results experienced during the physical inventory conducted in the final quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the prior comparable period. These decreases were partially offset by the recognition of deferred income relating to the forgiveness of certain obligations through modification of certain agreements with suppliers and an increase in vendor participation programs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003 by $844,000 and $2,716,000, respectively, from the comparable prior periods. Additional payroll and payroll related expense, Page 14 of 21 advertising, and higher insurance costs were the primary causes of the increases. Selling payroll increased in support of higher sales and increased store square footage due to the new larger stores, and administrative payroll grew through the addition of management personnel in the first and second fiscal quarters this year to fill both new positions and positions that were vacant in the prior comparable period. Advertising expense increased as a result of additional advertising and market penetration this year compared to the comparable periods last year. Insurance costs rose as a result of adverse market conditions when the Company's primary insurance policies were renewed in the third and fourth fiscal quarters last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.0% and 1.3% for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003, respectively, compared to the comparable prior periods. Interest income, net, decreased $13,000 and $37,000 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003, respectively, from the comparable prior periods. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in average investment levels, coupled with a decline in interest rates on short-term investments versus the comparable prior periods. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources". Net income declined by $341,000 and $1,359,000 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003, respectively, as compared to the prior comparable periods. These decreases are due mainly to an increase in the cost of merchandise sold, occupancy and distribution costs and increases in selling, general and administrative expenses. Seasonality The Company's business is seasonal, which the Company believes is typical of the retail craft and fabric industry. The Company's highest sales and earnings levels traditionally occur between September and December. The Company has historically operated at a loss during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, the June through August summer period. Year to year comparisons of quarterly results and comparable store sales can be affected by a variety of factors, including the timing and duration of holiday selling seasons and the timing of new store openings and promotional markdowns. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary needs for liquidity are to maintain inventory for the Company's existing stores and to fund the costs of opening new stores, including capital improvements, initial inventory and pre-opening expenses. During the nine months ended May 31, 2003, the Company relied on internally generated funds, credit made available by suppliers and short-term borrowings to finance inventories and new store openings. The Company's working capital decreased $51,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2003 as compared to the August 31, 2002 amount primarily due to a planned reduction in merchandise inventory levels for this period. The Company maintains a $10 million credit facility with a bank. The credit facility is renewable annually on or before each December 31 and consists of a discretionary unsecured line of credit for direct borrowings and the issuance and refinance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate (4.25% at May 31, 2003). The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a compensating balance of $400,000 in addition to certain financial covenants. Historically, the amount borrowed has varied based on the Company's seasonal requirements, generally reaching a maximum amount outstanding during the fourth quarter of Page 15 of 21 each fiscal year. The maximum amount borrowed under the line was $1,635,000 and $730,000 during the nine month periods ended May 31, 2003 and June 1, 2002, respectively. There were no direct borrowings outstanding under the line of credit at May 31, 2003 or June 1, 2002. The Company intends to maintain the availability of a line of credit for seasonal working capital requirements and in order to be able to take advantage of future opportunities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2003 amounted to $2,797,000, and $1,473,000 was used for purchases of property and equipment. Net cash from operating activities resulted primarily from net income of $350,000, non-cash depreciation of $1,007,000 and decreases in merchandise inventories of $4,274,000 and prepaid expenses of $398,000, partially offset by the amortization of deferred income of $640,000, decreases in accounts payable-trade and accrued salaries and wages of $2,680,000 and $550,000, respectively. During the nine months ended May 31, 2003 the Company opened two stores, expanded two stores, closed two stores and was operating sixty-eight stores at the end of the period. During the remainder of the fiscal year ending August 30, 2003, the Company does not anticipate opening, expanding or closing any additional stores. Costs associated with opening of new stores, including capital expenditures, inventory and pre-opening expenses, approximated $720,000 per store in fiscal 2003. These costs will be financed primarily from cash provided by operating activities, credit made available by suppliers to finance inventories and, if necessary, from the Company's bank line of credit. However, the Company will re-deploy assets of stores being closed to the new stores as opportunities evolve in order to curtail the costs of opening stores. The Company believes that its cash at May 31, 2003, working capital generated from operations and cash available from the bank line of credit will be sufficient for the Company's operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Forward-Looking Statements This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by safe harbors created thereby. Such forward-looking statements include those regarding the Company's future results in light of current management activities, and involve known and unknown risks, including competition within the craft and fabric retail industry, weather-related changes in the selling cycle, and other uncertainties (including those risk factors referenced in Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission). Critical Accounting Policies Revenue is recognized when merchandise is sold to customers. Merchandise inventories (which are all finished goods) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market as determined by the retail inventory method. Cost of merchandise sold, distribution and occupancy costs include merchandise purchases, inbound freight costs, distribution costs, shrinkage provision, cooperative advertising, vendor allowances, vendor rebates, store rent and other store-related occupancy costs. Distribution costs have been reclassified to cost of merchandise sold as of the beginning of the quarter ended May 31, 2003. These expenses were previously included in selling, general and administrative expenses. All comparative periods have been restated. Cooperative advertising payments received from vendors have been reclassified to cost of merchandise sold as of the beginning of the quarter ended March 1, 2003. These payments were previously offset against advertising expenses. All comparative periods have been restated. Page 16 of 21 Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in store expenses as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. Recent Accounting Standards In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123", ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and provides alternative methods for accounting for a change by registrants to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Additionally, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosure in the significant accounting policy footnote of both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the related pro-forma disclosures when the intrinsic value method continues to be used. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, and disclosures are effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company does not plan a change to the fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation and have included the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 in the accompanying financial statements. In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (the "EITF") reached consensus on Issue 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor ("EITF Issue 02-16"). EITF Issue 02-16 addresses the classification of cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor (e.g., cooperative advertising payments) and rebates or refunds from a vendor that is payable only if the customer completes a specified cumulative level of purchases or remains a customer for a specified time period. The classification provisions of EITF Issue 02-16 became effective for arrangements entered into after December 31, 2002. The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF Issue 02-16 as of the beginning of the quarter ended March 1, 2003. Cooperative advertising payments received from vendors have been recorded as a reduction of cost of merchandise sold for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2003. These payments were previously offset against advertising expenses. All comparative periods have been restated. The amounts included in cost of merchandise sold relating to cooperative advertising payments received was $294,000 and $851,000 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2003 and $322,000 and $891,000 for the three and nine months ended June 1, 2002. The adoption of this pronouncement did not change net income or earnings per share in any period reported herein. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the potential change in a financial instrument's value caused by fluctuations in interest or currency exchange rates, or in equity and commodity prices. The Company's activities expose it to certain risks that management evaluates carefully to minimize earnings volatility. At May 31, 2003 and June 1, 2002, and during each of the quarters and nine month periods then ended, the Company was not a party to any derivative arrangement and the Company does not engage in trading, market-making or other speculative activities in the derivatives markets. The Company does not have any foreign currency exposure. Loans outstanding under the Company's unsecured line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate (4.25% at May 31, 2003). There were no loans outstanding under any such line of credit at May 31, 2003 or June 1, 2002.
