NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The interim financial statements as of September 30, 1995 and for the
13 and 39 week periods ended September 30, 1995 and September 24, 1994
are unaudited; however, such interim statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of
operations for the interim periods presented. The results of
operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994.
2. Average common and common equivalent shares utilized in computing
third quarter primary earnings per share include approximately
4,232,000 and 4,092,000 shares in 1995 and 1994, respectively, as a
result of applying the treasury stock method to outstanding stock
options. Earnings per common share, assuming full dilution, were
determined on the assumption that the convertible notes were converted
as of the beginning of the period. The number of shares utilized in
the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for conversion of
the convertible notes in the third quarter were approximately
16,573,000 and 16,580,000 shares in 1995 and 1994, respectively. For
purposes of this calculation, net earnings were adjusted for the
interest on the convertible notes net of the tax effect.
3. In August 1995, the Company issued 4,325,000 shares of common stock in
a public offering, raising net proceeds of approximately $122 million.
4. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 39 weeks ended
September 30, 1995 and September 24, 1994 do not include noncash
financing transactions of approximately $12,127,000 and $11,743,000,
respectively, associated with accreted interest on convertible,
subordinated notes and approximately $233,000 and $0, respectively,
relating to common stock issued upon conversion of convertible notes.

Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales increased 28% to $1,337,108,000 in the third quarter of 1995 from
$1,044,815,000 in the third quarter of 1994; and to $3,888,730,000 for the
first nine months of 1995 from $3,010,887,000 for the first nine months of
1994, an increase of 29%. Comparable sales for stores and delivery facilities
increased 17% for the third quarter and 18% for the first nine months of 1995,
respectively. The balance of the sales increase was attributable to the 78 new
stores (net of one store closure) opened subsequent to the third quarter of
1994. The Company opened 13 stores in the third quarter of 1995, bringing the
total number of stores open at the end of the third quarter to 461 compared
with 384 stores at the end of the third quarter of 1994. The Company also
operated 24 contract stationer and delivery warehouses (customer service
centers) at the end of both the third quarter of 1995 and 1994. Several of
these are new, larger facilities which replaced existing facilities of several
contract stationers acquired in 1993 and 1994. Comparable sales in the future
may be affected by competition from other stores and contract stationers, the
opening of additional Office Depot stores or the expansion of the Company's
contract stationer business in its existing markets, and general market
conditions.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 23.0% during the third quarter of
1995, as compared with 23.3% during the comparable quarter in 1994, and 22.7%
for the first nine months of 1995, as compared with 23.1% for the first nine
months of 1994. The decrease was primarily a result of an increase in sales of
lower margin business machines and computers and an increase associated with
higher occupancy costs on new and converted customer service centers. These
decreases were partially offset by purchasing efficiencies gained through
vendor volume discount programs which increased as purchasing levels continued
to increase, and by leveraging the Company's store occupancy costs through
higher average sales per store. Gross margins are slightly higher in the
contract stationer portion of the business due to a lower percentage of
business machine and computer sales. Gross margins may fluctuate in both the
retail and contract stationer business as a result of competitive pricing in
more market areas, continued change in sales product mix and increased
occupancy costs in certain new markets and for new warehouses.
Store and warehouse operating and selling expenses as a percentage of sales
were 14.8% and 14.9% in the third quarter and first nine months of 1995,
respectively, compared with 14.9% and 15.2% in the comparable periods in 1994,
respectively. Store and warehouse operating and selling expenses consist
primarily of payroll and advertising expenses. Although the majority of these
expenses vary proportionately with sales, there is a fixed cost component to
these expenses such that, as sales increase within a given market area, store
and warehouse operating and selling expenses should decrease as a percentage of
sales. This benefit may not be fully realized, however, during periods when a
large number of new stores and customer service centers are being opened, as
new facilities typically generate lower sales than the average mature location,
resulting in higher operating and selling expenses as a
7
8
percentage of sales for such new facilities. This percentage is also affected
when the Company enters large metropolitan market areas where the advertising
costs for the full market must be absorbed by the small number of stores
initially opened. As additional stores in these large markets are opened,
advertising costs, which are essentially a fixed expense for a market area,
typically decrease overall as a percentage of sales. The Company has also
continued a strategy of opening additional stores in existing markets.
Although increasing the number of stores increases operating income in absolute
dollars, this may have the effect of increasing overall expenses as a
percentage of sales, since the sales of certain existing stores in the market
may initially be adversely affected. Warehouse expenses in the first nine
months of 1995 were adversely affected by the additional costs incurred in the
systems conversion and integration of the contract stationer warehouses. The
integration is expected to be substantially completed by early 1996.
Pre-opening expenses increased to $4,244,000 in the third quarter of 1995 from
$3,582,000 in the comparable period in 1994, and to $10,408,000 in the nine
month period ended September 30, 1995 from $6,814,000 in the comparable 1994
period. Pre-opening expenses in 1995 include the costs associated with
replacing seven existing customer service centers with larger, more functional
facilities. Additionally, the Company added 42 stores in the first nine months
of 1995, as compared with 33 stores in the comparable 1994 period. Pre-opening
expenses currently are approximately $140,000 per store and $500,000 for a
customer service center, and are predominately incurred during a six-week
period prior to the opening of the store or a twelve-week period prior to the
opening of a customer service center. Pre-opening expenses may vary based on
geographical area and customer base being serviced. These expenses consist
principally of amounts paid for salaries, occupancy costs and supplies. Since
the Company's policy is to expense these items during the period in which they
occur, the amount of pre-opening expenses in each quarter is generally
proportional to the number of new stores or customer service centers opened or
in the process of being opened during the period.
General and administrative expenses have decreased as a percentage of sales to
2.8% in the third quarter of 1995 from 3.1% in the comparable period in 1994,
and to 2.8% in the first nine months of 1995 from 3.1% in the comparable 1994
period. General and administrative expenses have decreased as a percentage of
sales, primarily as a result of the Company's ability to increase sales without
a proportionate increase in corporate expenditures. The Company's continued
investment in its information systems should allow the Company to further
reduce general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.
The Company incurred net interest expense of $5,151,000 and $16,782,000 in the
third quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively, as compared with
$3,224,000 and $10,458,000 in the comparable periods in 1994. This increase in
interest expense is primarily due to funds borrowed under the Company's
revolving credit agreement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since the Company's store sales are substantially on a cash and carry basis,
cash flow generated from operating stores provides a source of liquidity to the
Company. Working capital requirements are reduced by vendor credit terms,
which allow the Company to finance a portion of its inventory. The Company
utilizes private label credit card programs administered and financed by
financial service companies; this allows the Company to expand its retail sales
without the burden of additional receivables.
Sales made through the customer service centers are generally made under
regular commercial credit terms, where the Company carries its own receivables.
As the Company expands into servicing additional large companies in the
delivery portion of its business, it is expected that the Company will carry a
greater amount of receivables.
In the third quarter of 1995, the Company added 13 stores, compared with 16
stores added in the comparable 1994 period. The Company also replaced one of
its existing customer service centers with a larger, more efficient facility.
As stores mature and become more profitable, and as the number of new stores
opened in a year becomes a smaller percentage of the existing store base, cash
generated from operations will provide a greater portion of funds required for
new store fixed assets, inventories and other working capital requirements.
Cash generated from operations will be affected by an increase in receivables
carried without outside financing, and an increase in inventory at the stores
and customer service centers as the Company continues to expand its sales in
computers and business machines. Net cash provided by operating activities was
$63,709,000 and $31,974,000 in the first nine months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Capital expenditures are also affected by the number of stores
and customer service centers opened, converted or acquired each year and the
increase in computer and other equipment at the corporate office required to
support such expansion. Cash utilized for capital expenditures was
$154,373,000 and $114,754,000 in the first nine months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
During the 39 weeks ended September 30, 1995, the Company's cash balance
increased approximately $30,725,000 and long- and short-term debt decreased by
approximately $18,311,000. The increase in cash was primarily attributable to
proceeds of approximately $122 million received from a public offering of
common stock. Proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the
Company's revolving credit facility as well as other working capital needs.
The Company plans to open a total of approximately 35-40 additional stores,
replace three existing customer service centers, close three customer service
centers, and add two new customer service centers during the remainder of 1995.
Management estimates that the Company's cash requirements, exclusive of
pre-opening expenses, will be approximately $1,700,000 and $5,300,000 for each
additional store and customer service center, respectively.
The Company has a credit agreement with its principal bank and a syndicate of
commercial banks to provide for a working capital line of $300,000,000. The
credit agreement provides that funds borrowed will bear interest, at the
Company's option, at .3125% over the LIBOR rate, 1.75% over the Fed Funds
rate, at a base rate linked to
9
10
the prime rate or at a competitive bid rate. The Company also pays a fee of
.1875% per annum on the total credit facility. The credit facility expires in
June 2000. As of September 30, 1995 the Company had no borrowings under the
credit facility. In addition to the credit facility, the bank has provided a
lease facility to the Company under which the bank has agreed to purchase up to
$25,000,000 of equipment from the Company and lease such equipment to the
Company. As of September 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $5,600,000
outstanding under this lease facility.
The Company's management continually reviews its financing options. It is
currently anticipated that the Company has the ability to finance its planned
expansion through 1995 from cash on hand, funds generated from operations,
equipment leased under the Company's lease facility, and funds borrowed under
the Company's credit facility. The Company is considering and will continue to
consider alternative financing opportunities including the issuance of equity,
debt or convertible debt, if market conditions make such alternatives
financially attractive methods of funding the Company's short-term or
long-term expansion. The Company's financing requirements in the future will
be affected by the number of new stores and customer service centers opened,
converted or acquired and additional receivables carried by the Company.
