PART I
ITEM 1. Business.

(a) General Development of Business

The Bombay Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"
or "Bombay") design, source and market a unique line of home accessories,
wall decor and furniture through a network of retail locations throughout
the United States and Canada, through specialty catalogs, over the internet
and internationally through licensing arrangements.

Bombay's unique position in the market place is a result of its core
competencies in design and sourcing. Approximately 80% of its product is
sourced from over 20 foreign countries. Over 95% of the product has been
designed or styled to Bombay's specifications.

To capitalize on its strengths in design and sourcing, the Company is
developing other business opportunities in addition to its core retail
operations. Bailey Street Trading Company, the Company's wholesale
operations, was introduced in Fiscal 2000 and reached sales of
approximately $2 million in Fiscal 2001. Bailey Street is proving to be a
viable, low-risk growth vehicle for the Company, with sales projected at $5
million for Fiscal 2002.

International expansion has progressed with licensed international stores
currently operating in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Kuwait.
There are commitments with the Company's current international licensees to
open three additional stores in Fiscal 2002 including one each in the
Dominican Republic, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The Company plans to continue
expansion abroad through licensing and distribution agreements in markets
identified as appropriate for the Bombay brand.

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2001, the Company launched Bombay KIDS, its
new line of children's furniture, textiles and accessory collections, with
initial offerings exclusively through separate catalog and internet
channels. During Fiscal 2002, Bombay KIDS will be tested in several retail
stores with the first opening in Dallas, TX in March.

To date, the operations and financial results of the wholesale operations,
international licenses and Bombay KIDS have been immaterial to the Company
as a whole. Unless specified otherwise, the discussions in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K relate to the Bombay retail operations.

(b) Financial Information About Segments

The Company operates primarily in one business segment consisting of the
retail sale of decorative home furnishings, furniture and related items.


(c) Narrative Description of Business

Merchandise Sales, Purchasing and Distribution

Bombay operates a chain of stores, located primarily in regional shopping
malls, certain secondary malls and selected urban and suburban locations.
As of February 2, 2002, there were 365 Bombay stores in 41 states in the
United States and 54 stores in nine Canadian provinces. Bombay also
markets its products through its mail order operations in the United States
and Canada and through e-commerce over the internet at
www.bombaycompany.com.

The Company offers a diverse selection of products consisting of
approximately 5,000 SKUs (stock keeping units) of which over 95% of the
product has been designed or styled to Bombay's specifications. Bombay's
proprietary product offers unique design, quality and exceptional value to
a wide audience of consumers. While furniture has always been a
significant part of the business and will continue to play an important
role in the merchandise assortment, more focus has recently and will
continue to be given to the smaller "take with" items such as wood and
decorative accessories, crystal, florals, candles and a wide assortment of
gift items.

The Company regularly updates its merchandise assortment by introducing new
products and discontinuing others as they approach the end of their life
cycles. Approximately 2,600 new SKUs were introduced in both Fiscal 2001
and Fiscal 2000. Typically, new product introductions are concentrated
during the Company's spring, fall and Christmas marketing periods. The
principal categories of merchandise include the following:

3

Furniture - This category includes both wood and metal ready-to-assemble
furniture focusing on the bedroom, living room, dining room and home office
as well as occasional pieces. Furniture represented 43%, 45% and 45% of
total sales in Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Bombay's
furniture is manufactured by contract manufacturers located principally in
China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, Indonesia, India and the
United States.

Accessories - This is the broadest category and represented 43%, 41% and
40% of total sales in Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This
category includes both functional and decorative accessories including
lamps, jewelry and memorabilia boxes, baskets, candles and scents, crystal,
ceramics, frames and desktop, textiles, floral and holiday. The items are
imported from over 15 countries in Asia, North America and Europe.

Wall Decor - This category includes prints, mirrors and wall accessories
which represented 14%, 14% and 15% of total sales in Fiscal 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively. This merchandise is sourced primarily from the United
States, various countries in Asia, Canada and Italy.

Merchandise is manufactured to Company specifications through a network of
contract manufacturers located principally in Asia and North America.
Approximately 80% of production needs are provided from foreign countries.
Branch offices located in Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Vietnam
and agents in various countries locate prospective vendors, coordinate
production requirements with manufacturers and provide technical expertise
and quality control.

Bombay is not dependent on any particular supplier and has had long
standing relationships with many of its vendors. Approximately 70% of the
Company's merchandise requirements are supplied by 35 contract
manufacturers in seven countries. No long-term production agreements are
in place; however, agreements are in place with major manufacturers that
prohibit the production of proprietary product for other parties.
Additional manufacturing capacity and alternative sources, both domestic
and international, continue to be added through new vendors and plant
expansions by existing vendors. The Company does business with its vendors
principally in United States currency and has not historically experienced
any material difficulties as a result of any foreign political, economic or
social instabilities.

Usually it takes several months from the time a merchandise order is placed
with a manufacturer until the goods are received at centralized
distribution centers in the United States and Canada. Depending on the
category, the source country and whether an item is new or a reordered
product, lead times can vary from as little as two months to as much as
twelve months from order placement until arrival at the stores. Order
times are slightly less for North American manufacturers principally due to
shorter shipping times. Lead times may also be impacted by seasonality
factors especially in months when manufacturers are producing at or near
peak capacity to meet seasonal demands. As a result, Bombay strives to
maintain an adequate inventory position in its distribution centers to
ensure a sufficient supply of products to its customers.

Store inventories are replenished from regional distribution centers
located in Fort Worth, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Gilbertsville,
Pennsylvania; Mira Loma, California and Mississaugua, Ontario. The
distribution centers are strategically located and provide the capability
to replenish the majority of store inventories within 48 hours of when the
order is processed. The Company uses dedicated trucks and less-than-
truckload carriers to transport its product from its distribution centers
to the stores.

Channels of Distribution

Stores and Real Estate

The Company locates its stores primarily in regional shopping malls,
certain secondary malls and selected urban and suburban locations that
satisfy its demographic and financial return criteria. Significant
attention is given to visual merchandising opportunities to maximize the
ability to display product in the most attractive setting.

In selecting store locations, the Company's real estate department conducts
extensive analyses of potential store sites and bases its selection on the
performance of other specialty retail tenants, the size of the market and
the demographics of the surrounding area. In evaluating a store location,
placement of the store relative to retail traffic patterns and customer
base of other retailers in the nearby vicinity are important
considerations.

During Fiscal 2000, the Company, working closely with Thompson Associates,
the largest, independent full-service retail-consulting firm in the United
States specializing in store location and market research, developed a
comprehensive real estate strategy. Based upon the analysis, the Company
believes that it has the opportunity to increase its total square footage
through both an increase in store counts and through larger stores. The
strategy incorporates an off-mall opportunity that will complement the
current real estate portfolio. Currently 83% of the stores are mall based,
down from approximately 90% last year, reflecting the Company's current
real estate strategy. The Company has opened stores in, and will continue

4

to seek alternative locations including street and upscale, open air
lifestyle centers. The Company will seek out the most potentially
profitable locations for the opening of new stores regardless of the venue.

The Company is currently targeting store sizes in the 4,000 to 5,000 square
foot range. In addition to building new stores, the Company will continue
to selectively convert its existing regular stores which average
approximately 1,800 square feet to the larger format. As of February 2,
2002, there were 59 regular stores left in the chain.

During Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company opened 32 new stores, 10 new
stores and 19 new stores, respectively. An additional 18 stores were
converted to the larger format in Fiscal 2001, 20 in Fiscal 2000 and 11 in
Fiscal 1999. The store expansion plan includes approximately 25 new store
openings and four to six conversions in Fiscal 2002.

During Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company's store openings included
twelve, four and eight outlet stores, respectively, which were typically
located in traditional outlet malls. At February 2, 2002, the store chain
included a total of 36 outlet stores. The Company views the use of outlets
as an opportunity to increase sales to a different customer base, to assist
in the orderly clearance of merchandise and to further capitalize on its
strength in designing and sourcing proprietary product. Of the estimated
25 stores planned for Fiscal 2002, Bombay expects to open approximately
seven outlet locations.

The Company's average cost of leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures
and machinery for stores (excluding outlets) opened or converted in Fiscal
2001, net of landlord allowances, was approximately $220,000 per store or
$55 per square foot. In addition, other investments which consist
primarily of inventory in the store location, averaged approximately
$115,000 per large format store. The average cost of leasehold
improvements, furniture, fixtures and machinery for outlet stores opened in
Fiscal 2001, net of landlord allowances, was approximately $95,000 per
store while the inventory investment averaged approximately $80,000 per
store. Bombay stores typically achieve store level operating profitability
during their first year of operations.

As of February 2, 2002, 365 stores were operating in 41 states in the
United States and 54 stores were operating in nine provinces in Canada as
illustrated in the map below.

Internet

The Company has maintained a conservative posture on its investment in the
internet. The current site utilizes IBM's net.commerce software running on
an AS400 platform and is designed to be scaleable in order to respond to
the growing e-commerce demand. Typically, the Company offers up to 1,200
SKUs for sale on its website each season. Business to consumer revenues
over the internet were approximately $4.5 million in Fiscal 2001 and are
expected to grow to approximately $8 million in Fiscal 2002. The Company
is also developing supporting websites to support its international growth
and wholesale distribution business.

Wholesale

During Fiscal 2000, the Company created a new wholesale division, Bailey
Street Trading Company. The brand is separate from Bombay and allows the
Company to capitalize on its strengths in product design and sourcing. The
initial product offerings are focused on furniture but may be expanded to
include wall decor and accessories in the future. Bailey Street Trading
Company distributes its merchandise to specialty gift stores, furniture
stores, department stores, customer-direct merchants and mass merchandisers
through a network of independent regional sales representatives. To date,
the operations and financial results of Bailey Street Trading Company have
been immaterial to the Company as a whole.

International

International expansion has progressed with licensed international stores
currently operating in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Kuwait.
There are commitments with the Company's current international partners to
open three additional stores in Fiscal 2002 including one each in the
Dominican Republic, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The Company plans to continue
expansion abroad through licensing and distribution agreements with local
partners in markets identified as appropriate for the Bombay brand,
limiting the Company's risk and capital requirements.

Intangibles

The Company owns a number of the trademarks and service marks used in its
business, including federal registrations for the marks "The Bombay
Company" and "Bombay", and the palm tree logo. The Company's trademarks
are also registered or are the subject of pending applications in a number
of foreign countries. Each registration is renewable indefinitely if the
mark is still in use at the time of renewal. Appropriate applications are
on file for the new wholesale business.

The Company believes that its trademarks have significant value and that
these marks enhance the Bombay brand and are instrumental in the Company's
ability to create, sustain demand for and market its product. From time to
time, the Company discovers products in the marketplace that are
counterfeit reproductions of the Company's product or that otherwise
infringe upon trademark or tradedress rights held by the Company. The
Company has and will continue to vigorously defend it rights under the
marks as necessary.

Seasonality

Operating results are subject to seasonal variation. Historically, the
largest proportion of sales and substantially all of the income occurs in
the fiscal quarter that includes the Christmas season. Inventory balances
are generally built to their highest levels prior to the Christmas selling
season. Inventories decline and cash balances increase significantly in
December due to the Christmas business.

Competition

The home furnishings and decorative accessories market is highly
fragmented. The Company faces competition from furniture stores,
department stores and other specialty retailers. The Company believes that
it competes primarily on the basis of selection, quality and value of
merchandise.

6

Employees

The Company has approximately 5,000 employees, which include approximately
3,000 part-time employees, and is not a party to any union contract.
Employee relations are considered to be good.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

General

The Bombay Company, Inc. ("Company" or "Bombay") designs, sources and
markets a unique line of home accessories, wall decor and furniture through
419 retail stores in 42 states in the United States and nine Canadian
provinces, through specialty catalogs and over the Internet in the U.S. and
internationally. Merchandise is manufactured to Company specification
through a network of contract manufacturers located principally in Asia and
North America.

In addition to its primary retail operations, the Company has several other
initiatives underway. Bailey Street Trading Company ("Bailey Street")
represents the Company's wholesale operations, begun in Fiscal 2000.
Bailey Street reached the $2 million sales mark in Fiscal 2001 and is
proving to be a viable, low-risk growth vehicle for the Company. Sales are
projected at $5 million for 2002 and modest, positive earnings per share
contributions are expected as early as the current year.

International expansion has progressed with licensed international stores
currently operating in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Kuwait.
There are commitments with the Company's current international partners to
open three additional stores in Fiscal 2002 including one each in the
Dominican Republic, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The Company plans to continue
expansion of the Bombay brand abroad through licensing and distribution
agreements with local partners in various markets, limiting the Company's
risk by initially entering smaller, opportunistic markets with growth
potential.

Finally, in the third quarter of Fiscal 2001, the Company launched Bombay
KIDS ("KIDS"), its new line of children's furniture, textile and accessory
collections, with initial offerings exclusively through separate catalog
and Internet channels. During Fiscal 2002, KIDS will be tested in several
retail stores.

The largest percentage of the Company's sales and operating income is
realized in the fiscal quarter that includes December (Christmas season).

Because the majority of the Company's products are proprietary, the impact
of inflation on operating results is typically not significant. The Company
attempts to alleviate inflationary pressures by increasing selling prices
(subject to competitive conditions), improving designs and finding
alternative production sources in lower cost countries.

The Company has a retail (52-53 week) fiscal year which ends on the
Saturday nearest January 31. Fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 1999 represent 52 week
periods while Fiscal 2000 included 53 weeks.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

"Management's Discussion and Analysis" constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from
any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following:
the impact
on consumer spending generally, and on the Company, in particular, in light
of the events of September 11, 2001; downward pressure in retail due to
continuing economic pessimism; competition; seasonality; success of
operating initiatives; new product development and introduction schedules;
acceptance of new product offerings; advertising and promotional efforts;
adverse publicity; expansion of the store chain; availability, locations
and terms of sites for store development; changes in business strategy or
development plans; availability and terms of capital; labor and employee
benefit costs; changes in government regulations; risks associated with
international business and regional weather conditions.

Net Revenues

Net revenues consist of sales to retail customers and wholesale sales
through Bailey Street and to our international licensees as well as
shipping fees. Shipping fees reflect revenue from customers for delivery of
merchandise. Wholesale sales are immaterial for all periods, representing
less than 1% of total revenue and as such are not separately reported.




(In millions)


Fiscal 2001 Fiscal 2000 Fiscal 1999


Sales $434.7 $421.5 $390.9
Shipping 2.8 2.0 1.7
Total $437.5 $423.5 $392.6




Fiscal 2001

Net revenues increased $14.0 million, or 3%, to $437.5 million, compared
to $423.5 million in Fiscal 2000 primarily due to new store openings.
During the year, the Company opened 32 new stores, including 12 outlets,
and 18 regular stores were converted to the large store format. These
increases were partially offset by the closure of 21 stores. Same store
sales (stores in existence for one year or more) declined 2% for the year.
The lack of a 53rd week during Fiscal 2001 adversely impacted sales
comparisons by approximately 2%. At the end of Fiscal 2001, the Company
had 324 large stores, 59 regular stores and 36 outlets resulting in a 10%
increase in retail square footage.

Our customer's resistance to big-ticket purchases during the year resulted
in a shift in the overall product mix. Furniture sales were 43% of the
total during Fiscal 2001 compared to 45% in Fiscal 2000. Accessories
represented 43% in the current year compared to 41% last year, while wall
decor (principally prints, mirrors and sconces) accounted for 14% in both
years. Total transactions for the year increased 2% while the average
ticket remained constant at $79. The growth in the accessories business
resulted in an increase in the average number of items per transaction year
over year, offsetting the impact of shifts in the product mix.

All regions of the U.S. and Canada reported low single-digit same store
sales declines for the year. Outlet stores continued to perform well during
Fiscal 2001, reporting low single-digit same store sales gains.

Fiscal 2000

Net revenues increased $30.9 million, or 8%, to $423.5 million, compared to
$392.6 million in Fiscal 1999. Sales increases were attributable to a 5%
increase in same store sales. A 53rd week in the Fiscal 2000 calendar added
less than 2% to the total sales increase. Sales increases were also
realized with the opening of 10 new stores during the year and the
conversion of another 20 regular stores to the larger store format. These
increases were partially offset by the closure of 17 stores which were
either under-performing or at the end of their lease lives. On a net basis,
the number of stores went from 415 at the end of Fiscal 1999 to 408 at the
end of Fiscal 2000, including 291 large stores, 93 regular stores and 24
outlet stores, while total retail square footage increased approximately
2.5%.

Sales growth was fairly consistent across all categories with the product
mix remaining virtually unchanged. Sales in Fiscal 2000 consisted of 45%
furniture, 41% accessories and 14% wall decor. In Fiscal 1999 the product
mix was 45% furniture, 40% accessories and 15% wall decor. The number of
transactions increased by 9% and the average ticket remained virtually
unchanged at $79.

Same store sales gains were strongest in the Company's Canadian subsidiary,
with other strong performances in the western and northeastern portions of
the U.S. All regions reported positive or flat same store sales. Outlets
also performed well, driven by the continued infusion of outlet only
merchandise.

Cost of Sales, Buying and Store Occupancy Costs


(In millions)


Fiscal 2001 Fiscal 2000 Fiscal 1999


Cost of sales, buying
and occupancy costs $309.6 $291.7 $273.5
Shipping 3.9 2.3 2.0
Total $313.5 $294.0 $275.5




Fiscal 2001

Cost of sales, including buying and store occupancy costs, for Fiscal 2001
was $313.5 million or 71.7% of revenues.
As a percentage of revenues, these costs increased from 69.4% of revenues
in Fiscal 2000. Product margins declined 130
basis points as a result of the more promotionally driven retail
environment. Same stores sales declines which contributed to a lower sales
per square foot resulted in negative leverage of the buying and occupancy
costs. These costs were 20.4% of revenues, an increase of 90 basis points
compared to the prior year. Buying and occupancy costs included an
impairment charge of $715,000 to write down the fixed assets related to
eleven unprofitable stores.

Fiscal 2000

Cost of sales, including buying and store occupancy costs, for Fiscal 2000
was $294.0 million or 69.4% of revenues. As a percentage of revenues, these
costs decreased from 70.2% of revenues in Fiscal 1999. Product margins
improved 20 basis points from the prior year due to an improved product mix
and good in-stock positions of key merchandise, more than offsetting higher
distribution center and domestic freight costs. Buying and occupancy costs
declined 60 basis points to 19.5% of revenues while increasing $3.4
million. The higher dollar costs were primarily driven by investments in
new stores and technology. The improvement in buying and occupancy costs as
a percentage of revenues is due to the relatively fixed nature of these
costs measured against a higher revenue base.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Fiscal 2001

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $117.6 million compared
to $115.6 million in Fiscal 2000. Although the dollars increased $2.0
million or 1.8%, as a percentage of revenues, selling, general and
administrative costs declined from 27.3% in Fiscal 2000 to 26.9% in Fiscal
2001. The 40 basis point decline is the result of strong controls over
expenses throughout the year.

Fiscal 2000

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $115.6 million, an
increase of $9.6 million or 9%, compared to $106.0 million in Fiscal 1999.
The largest component of the dollar increase was higher payroll and related
costs. However, as a percentage of revenues these costs remained relatively
constant. The Company's investments in infrastructure and technology also
contributed to higher selling, general and administrative expenses with
increased depreciation, amortization and related costs. As a percentage of
revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 27.0%
in Fiscal 1999 to 27.3% in Fiscal 2000.

13

Interest

Fiscal 2001

The Company had interest income of $248,000 and interest expense of
$566,000, compared to interest income of $967,000 and interest expense of
$424,000 in Fiscal 2000. Changes in interest amounts resulted from lower
average cash balances and greater utilization of credit facilities due to
the Company's lower operating profits, higher average inventory levels and
capital expenditures.

Fiscal 2000

The Company had interest income of $967,000 and interest expense of
$424,000, compared to interest income of $1.1 million and interest expense
of $59,000 in Fiscal 1999. The changes in these amounts are due to lower
average cash balances and greater utilization of seasonal borrowings to
support the Company's investments in store expansion, infrastructure and
technology, the stock repurchase program and higher inventory levels.

Income Taxes

The Company provided income taxes of $2.3 million, $5.8 million and $4.8
million in Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999, respectively. The
effective rates were 38.6%, 40.0% and 39.6% in the respective periods.
Fluctuations in the effective rate are primarily related to foreign taxes
which change in accordance with earnings in the Canadian subsidiary and in
state tax expenses which have not changed proportionately to income before
income taxes.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from
operations and a line of credit with banks.
The Company has an unsecured, revolving credit agreement with a group of
banks, with an aggregate commitment of up to $50.0 million for working
capital and letter of credit purposes. The bank commitment is limited to
45% of eligible inventory. At February 2, 2002, the bank commitment was
$40.2 million, and $32.5 million was available for borrowings or additional
letters of credit. The credit facility expires June 5, 2002. The Company
expects to be able to renew or replace its current facility under similar
or more favorable terms upon expiration.

Fiscal 2001

At February 2, 2002, cash and short-term investments were $38.4 million,
$16.3 million higher than at February 3, 2001. The primary sources of cash
were net income, including non-cash depreciation and amortization expense,
and decreases in inventory levels. These sources were partially offset by
capital expenditures for store construction and routine equipment
purchases.

At February 2, 2002, inventory levels were $15.1 million lower than at the
previous year end reflecting the Company's conservative balance sheet
management during the second half of the year in light of economic
uncertainties and the events of September 11th. The lower inventory levels
resulted in less clearance product as of the end of the year and are
expected to contribute to improved gross margins and inventory turns for
Fiscal 2002. Capital expenditures totaled $14.1 million and included the
costs of 32 new stores and the conversion of 18 regular stores to the
larger format, as well as continued investments in software and equipment.
The capital expenditures program for Fiscal 2002 is planned at
approximately $12 million and includes approximately 25 store openings,
including 7 outlets and 6 KIDS stores. Additionally, approximately 4 to 6
stores are expected to be converted to the larger format. Generally, a new
or converted store is profitable in its first full year of operations.

The Company's development of its wholesale business and international
opportunities are expected to have modest capital requirements during
Fiscal 2002. The Company anticipates funding the growth of these
initiatives through working capital.

In connection with continuing operations, the Company has various
contractual obligations and commercial commitments requiring payment in
future periods, summarized in the table below.

The Company did not incur any direct losses or significant expenses in
connection with the events of September 11, 2001. However, as a result of
those events and the surrounding economic uncertainties, the Company took a
conservative approach to managing its balance sheet. Inventory levels were
more tightly managed and less new product was introduced during January and
February 2002, which may have adversely impacted sales. After the first
quarter of Fiscal 2002, inventory receipts are expected to return to more
normalized levels and the Company expects the negative trend in same store
sales to reverse.

14

The Company believes that its current cash position, cash flows from
operations and credit line facilities will be sufficient to fund its
current operations and capital expenditures program.

Fiscal 2000

As of February 3, 2001, cash and short-term investments were $22.2 million,
a decrease of $17.0 million from January 29, 2000. The primary uses of cash
were inventory purchases, new store construction and information technology
upgrades, as well as purchases of treasury stock. These uses were partially
offset by net income, including non-cash depreciation and amortization
expense, and by increases in payables.

At February 3, 2001, inventory levels were $14.3 million higher than at
January 29, 2000, an increase of 16% compared to an 8% growth in sales.
Several factors contributed to this increase. Spring product arrived
earlier than in the previous year in order to ensure a good in-stock
position for the introduction of the catalog in early March.

Additionally, the timing of Chinese New Year shifted from February to
January resulting in more of this season's inventory requirement being
shipped just prior to the Company's fiscal year end. Finally, the inventory
mix changed with a larger investment in bedroom furniture and a refined
furniture assortment, which resulted in higher average price per unit.
Capital expenditures totaled $16.7 million and included the costs of 10 new
stores and the conversion of 20 regular stores to the larger format, as
well as routine purchases of machinery and equipment.

During Fiscal 2000, the Company spent $10.3 million under its stock
repurchase program to acquire approximately 3.0 million shares of the
Company's common stock.


Critical Accounting Policies

In the course of preparing the financial statements, management makes
certain judgments relative to accounting policies that are appropriate in
the circumstances and the application of those policies. The following
policies are those deemed to be most critical.

Inventory Valuation Policy

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being
determined based upon the weighted average inventory method. Cost is
calculated based upon the actual landed cost of an item at the time it is
received in the warehouse based upon actual vendor invoices or estimates of
costs for which an invoice is not present or for which an allocation of
shared costs is required.
In addition, the Company includes the cost of warehousing and transporting
product to the stores in its costs.

The Company regularly evaluates its compliance with the lower of cost or
market principle. Items are evaluated by SKU (stock keeping unit) and to
the extent that the cost of the item exceeds the current selling price,
provision is made to reduce the carrying cost of the item. Additionally,
the Company reviews the aging of its inventory by SKU. The carrying cost of
the item is reduced based upon certain age criteria and product category.
Since the determination of carrying value of inventory involves both
estimation and judgment of cost and market value, differences in these
estimates could result in valuations that vary from the recorded asset.

15

Each month, the Company records an allowance for shrinkage to provide for
the cost of lost or stolen inventory. The amount of the allowance is
determined based upon the historical shrinkage results and is adjusted at
least annually to reflect current circumstances. Inventory is physically
counted at all locations at least once each year, at which time actual
results are reflected in the financial statements. Physical counts were
taken at all stores and the distribution centers during January 2002.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed at least annually and whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may
not be recoverable. This review includes the evaluation of individual under
- -performing retail stores and assessing the recoverability of the carrying
value of the fixed assets related to the store. Future cash flows are
projected for the remaining lease life considering such factors as future
sales levels, gross margins, changes in rent and other expenses as well as
the overall operating environment specific to that store. If the future
undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, a
charge is recorded to write down the cost of the assets. Since the
projection of future cash flows involves judgment and estimates,
differences in circumstances or estimates could produce different results.

During Fiscal 2002, the Company will adopt the provisions of Statement of
Accounting Standards No.144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-
Lived Assets ("FAS 144"). FAS 144 modifies previous guidance on the
impairment of long-lived assets. Among other provisions, it permits the use
of a probability-weighted estimation approach in evaluating future cash
flows for a group of assets. The impact of the adoption of FAS 144 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

Deferred Taxes

The Company currently has recorded $9.7 million of deferred tax assets
representing the difference between the timing of deductions taken for
financial statement purposes and for tax purposes. Underlying the
assumption that the benefit of those assets will be recoverable in some
future period is the concept that the Company will have future taxable
income. If future conditions indicate that the benefit of the deferred tax
assets will not be fully realized, a valuation allowance will be recorded
to reduce the assets to their estimated realizable value.

Insurance

The Company is self-insured with respect to medical and dental insurance
coverage offered to its eligible employees, up to a maximum of $125,000 per
claim. Above that amount, medical insurance coverage is in place. In
connection with the self-insured portion, the Company maintains a liability
for claims that are in the process of being paid and those that have been
incurred but not yet reported to the Company's insurance carrier. The
amount of the liability is estimated based upon historical claims
experience and upon information provided by the Company's independent
benefits broker regarding other similar insurance programs. At February 2,
2002, the balance of the medical and dental liability was $1.4 million.

Beginning in Fiscal 2001, the Company also maintains workers' compensation
insurance coverage with a deductible of $100,000 per claim. At February 2,
2002, the Company has a liability of $644,000 representing the estimated
amount that will have to be paid in future periods related to the
settlement of claims under the insurance policy. The amount of the
liability reflects expected remaining workers' compensation claims based
upon historical claims experience and other information obtained by the
Company, including projections made by the underwriters of the Company's
insurance carrier. As these claims are paid, the liability will be reduced.
Furthermore, the liability will be adjusted if circumstances change or if
information becomes available that would indicate that the future payments
would be different than what was previously estimated. Prior to Fiscal
2001, the Company's workers' compensation insurance was not subject to a
deductible.

Since the amounts recorded for insurance liabilities are based upon various
estimates, actual future requirements could vary from the recorded
liabilities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 - Statement of Accounting Policies
______________________________________________________________

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated. The Company has a
retail (52 - 53 week) fiscal year which ends on the Saturday nearest
January 31. The periods ended February 2, 2002 ("Fiscal 2001") and January
29, 2000 ("Fiscal 1999") represent 52 weeks. The period ended February 3,
2001 ("Fiscal 2000") represents 53 weeks. Certain prior year amounts have
been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company's Canadian operations is the
Canadian dollar. Fiscal year end exchange rates are used to translate
assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars. Monthly average exchange rates are
used to translate income and expenses. The cumulative effect of foreign
currency translation adjustments is reported in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash in stores, deposits in banks and short-term investments with original
maturities of three months or less are considered as cash and cash
equivalents for the purposes of the financial statements. Short - term
investments are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value.

Inventories

Inventories are primarily finished merchandise and are valued at the lower
of cost or market, cost being determined based upon the weighted average
inventory method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of
the assets using the straight - line method over the lives shown:

Building Forty years
Furniture and equipmen Two to ten years
Leasehold improvements The lesser of the life of the lease or asset

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and
betterments which materially prolong the useful lives of the assets are
capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property
retired or sold are removed from the accounts, and gains or losses are
recognized in the statements of income.

Capitalized Software Costs

The Company capitalizes certain external and internal costs associated with
computer software and significant enhancements to software features of
existing products, after technological feasibility has been established.
The costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the
estimated economic lives of the software, which range from three to seven
years. Total costs capitalized were $18,703,000 and $17,287,000 at February
2, 2002 and February 3, 2001, respectively. Accumulated amortization
related to these assets was $12,517,000 and $9,103,000 in Fiscal 2001 and
Fiscal 2000, respectively.

27

Goodwill

Goodwill recorded in association with acquisitions accounted for using the
purchase method is amortized using the straight - line method over the
estimated useful life of 40 years.

Effective February 3, 2002, the Company will adopt the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Accounting for
Goodwill and Other Intangibles ("FAS 142"). FAS 142 establishes accounting
and reporting standards for the valuation and impairment of goodwill and
other intangible assets. The adoption of FAS 142 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results
of operations. With the adoption of FAS 142, the Company will cease
amortization of goodwill.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including goodwill, are reviewed whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the expected future
undiscounted net cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets.
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between
carrying value and the estimated fair value of the assets.

Effective February 3, 2002, the Company will adopt the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("FAS 144"). FAS 144 modifies
previous guidance on the impairment of long-lived assets. Among other
provisions, it permits the use of a probability-weighted cash flow
estimation approach in assessing the expected future undiscounted net cash
flows for a group of assets. The impact of the adoption of FAS 144 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed
or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues are net
of returns and exclude sales tax.

The Company includes in revenues amounts collected from customers for
shipping and handling orders. In Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999,
these revenues totaled $2,779,000, $1,945,000 and $1,697,000, respectively.
The associated shipping and handling expenses are included in cost of
sales.

Gift Certificates

Proceeds from the sale of gift cards and certificates are recorded as a
liability at the time they are received. When the holder of the card or
certificate redeems it for merchandise, the liability is relieved and
revenue is recognized.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed the first time the advertising takes place.
During Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999 advertising expense was
$14,597,000, $14,701,000 and $14,645,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of computing deferred income taxes on
all material temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
their tax bases. The Company assesses realizability of deferred tax assets
and, if necessary, a valuation allowance is provided.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income represents the change in equity (net assets) of a
business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity
during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners. Such amounts are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity and consist of the
cumulative effect of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted
average number of shares outstanding plus the shares that would be
outstanding assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and distribution of
deferred director compensation.

28

The computations for basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations
per share are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Basic earnings per share $.11 $.26 $.20
Diluted earnings per share $.11 $.26 $.20





Note 2 - Store Impairments and Closing Liability

Long-lived assets are reviewed at least annually and whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be
recoverable. Following the holiday selling season, the Company reviewed its
real estate portfolio focusing on stores for which store profitability was
negative. Of the 419 Company owned stores open as of February 2, 2002, eleven
stores were identified for which the expected undiscounted future cash flows
were less than the net book value of the fixed assets related to those stores.
As a result of the review, the Company has recorded a charge to buying and
occupancy costs of $715,000 to write down the assets to fair value.

The Company has established a liability for obligations associated with closing
under-performing stores. At February 2, 2002 and February 3, 2001, the
liability was $342,000 and $715,000, respectively. Costs of $373,000 and
$222,000 were charged against the liability in Fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 2000,
respectively.

Note 4 - Debt
______________________________________________________________

The Company has an unsecured, revolving credit agreement with a group of
banks, with an aggregate commitment of up to $50,000,000. The credit
facility is available for working capital and letter of credit purposes.
Borrowings under the facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at
either the lead bank's prime lending rate plus a margin of 0% to .5% or the
LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 2.0%, with the margin depending on the
Company's leverage ratio. Under terms of the agreement, the Company is
required to maintain certain financial ratios and other financial
conditions. The agreement prohibits the Company from making certain
investments, advances or loans and limits the dollar amounts of capital
expenditures, purchases of treasury shares, cash dividends and asset sales.
In the event that the Company is in default of certain provisions of the
agreement, the lenders would be permitted to file liens against the
Company's inventory located in the United States and perfect the pledge of
65% of the stock of the Company's Canadian subsidiary, thereby securing the
indebtedness. The agreement expires June 5, 2002 and is expected to be
renewed under similar terms.

The bank commitment is limited to 45% of eligible inventory. At February 2,
2002, the bank commitment was $40,210,000. Letters of credit totaling
$7,726,000 were outstanding under the facility, and $32,484,000 was
available for borrowings or additional letters of credit. Interest expense
and negotiated fees for Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999 totaled
$884,000, $610,000 and $257,000, respectively.

30

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies
_____________________________________________________________

Store, distribution and field office facilities and equipment are leased
under operating leases expiring through 2013. The store leases are
generally based upon a minimum rental plus a percentage of the store sales
in excess of specified levels. Store lease terms generally require
additional payments covering taxes, common area charges and certain other
costs. Rental expense for Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999 totaled
$47,366,000, $45,137,000 and $42,991,000, respectively.

The minimum rental commitments for future fiscal years are as follows (in
thousands):




Fiscal

2002 $45,054
2003 40,225
2004 29,508
2005 21,459
2006 19,406
Thereafter 63,196
$218,848


The Company has certain contingent liabilities resulting from litigation
and claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Management believes
that the probable resolution of such contingencies will not materially
affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

The Company is party to employment agreements with certain executives which
provide for compensation and certain other
benefits. The agreements also provide for severance payments under certain
circumstances.

Note 6 - Employee Benefit Plans
_____________________________________________________________

The Bombay Company, Inc. Employee 401(k) Savings and Stock Ownership Plan
("401(k) Plan") is open to substantially all employees who have been
employed for one year and who work at least 1,000 hours per year. Under the
401(k) Plan, a participant may contribute up to 15% of earnings with the
Company matching 100% of the initial 3% contribution, and 50% of the next
2% contributed by the participant. Participant contributions and Company
match are paid to a corporate trustee and invested in various funds or
Company stock, as directed by the participant. Company matching
contributions made to participants' accounts are fully vested immediately.
Similar benefit plans are in effect for eligible foreign employees.

To the extent employees are unable to contribute up to 5% of their earnings
to the 401(k) Plan because of limitations imposed by IRS regulations, a
Supplemental Stock Program was adopted. Under this program, employee
contributions in excess of IRS limitations, along with Company matching
contributions, are distributed annually in the form of Company common
stock.

The Bombay Company, Inc. Stock Purchase Program ("SPP") is open to all full-
time employees who have at least 90 days of service. Each participant may
contribute 1% to 10% of qualifying compensation, to a maximum annual
contribution of $21,250. Contributions are used to purchase shares of
Company common stock at a discount of 15% from current market rates. The
participants' shares are fully vested upon purchase. Participants' shares
are held by a third-party administrator until the respective participant
requests a distribution.

Total Company contributions to these plans for Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and
Fiscal 1999 were $644,000, $738,000 and $480,000, respectively.

31

Note 7 - Common Stock and Stock Options
_______________________________________________________________

The Company's Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program
to purchase up to an aggregate of $30 million of the Company' stock. The
shares may be purchased from time to time, through open market purchases
and privately negotiated transactions. During Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and
Fiscal 1999, 39,000, 3,039,550, and 1,777,416 shares, respectively, were
acquired at an aggregate cost of $103,000, $10,303,000 and $8,527,000,
respectively. Treasury shares are used for various employee and director
stock plans as the need arises.

Non - employee directors are eligible to participate in the Non-Employee
Director Equity Plan, which allows such directors the option to defer
receipt of retainer payments and meeting fees which are credited to an
account for such director in units equivalent to Company common stock.

The Bombay Company, Inc. 1986 Stock Option Plan and 1996 Long Term
Incentive Stock Plan ("Employee Plans") provide for the granting of options
(and other types of stock-related awards under the 1996 plan) to officers
and key management employees. At February 2, 2002, the option shares
reserved for the Employee Plans were 5,633,595. The option price is fixed
at the market price or higher on the date of the grant. Options are
generally exercisable annually at a rate of 33% per year beginning one year
after the grant date. Shares available for additional grants were
1,459,552; 1,732,538 and 2,046,273 at February 2, 2002, February 3, 2001
and January 29, 2000, respectively.

During Fiscal 1998, restricted stock aggregating 90,000 shares was granted
under the 1996 Long Term Incentive Stock Plan to three key executives. The
respective shares are issuable in designated increments contingent upon
continued employment of the respective executive after 12 months, 24 months
and 36 months. During Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999, 49,500,
27,500 and 13,000 shares, respectively, became vested and were issued under
these grants. Compensation expense of $13,000, $98,000 and $174,000 was
recognized during Fiscal 2001, Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999, respectively,
in connection with the restricted stock.

During Fiscal 2001, restricted stock aggregating 200,000 shares was granted
and issued under the 1996 Long Term Incentive Stock Plan to three key
executives. The respective shares become vested in designated increments
contingent upon continued employment of the respective executive after 12
months, 24 months and 36 months. If each of the executives remains
employed by the Company under the terms of the grant, 40,000, 60,000 and
100,000 shares will be vested in Fiscal 2002, Fiscal 2003 and Fiscal 2004,
respectively. Compensation expense of $285,000 was recognized during
Fiscal 2001 in connection with the restricted stock.

The Bombay Company, Inc. Non-Employee Director Equity Plan ("Director
Plan") provides for the granting of options to members of the Board of
Directors who are neither employees nor officers of the Company. At
February 2, 2002, the option shares reserved for the Director Plan were
745,267. The option price is fixed at the market price on the date of the
grant. The option grant, initial and annual, is currently the lesser of
8,000 shares or $75,000 in face value. The initial grant becomes
exercisable at a rate of 20% per year beginning one year after the grant
date. Each additional annual grant becomes fully exercisable six months
after the grant date. Shares available for additional grants were 354,210,
481,696 and 10,946 at February 2, 2002, February 3, 2001 and January 29,
2000, respectively.

The exercise of non-qualified stock options in Fiscal 1999 resulted in
income tax benefits of $25,000 which were credited to additional paid-in
capital. The income tax benefits are the tax effect of the difference
between the market price on the date of exercise and the option price.

33

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock - Based
Compensation ("FAS 123"). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for options granted. Had compensation cost for the Company's
stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant
date for awards in Fiscal 1995 through Fiscal 2001 in accordance with the
provisions of FAS 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share
would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in
thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 8 - Shareholders' Rights Plan
_______________________________________________________________

The Company has a shareholders' rights plan under which each share of
Company common stock includes one Preferred Share Purchase Right ("Right")
entitling the holder to buy one one-thousandth of a share of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$50. The Rights, which have ten year terms expiring in 2005, are
exercisable if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the common stock
of the Company or announces a tender offer for 15% or more of the common
stock. If a person or group acquires 15% or more of the outstanding common
stock of the Company, each Right will entitle the holder to purchase, at
the Right's exercise price, a number of shares of Company common stock
having a market value of twice the Right's exercise price. If the Company
is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after a
person or group acquires 15% or more of the Company's common stock, each
Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's exercise price, a
number of shares of the acquiring company's common stock having a market
value of twice the Right's exercise price. The Rights are redeemable at one
cent per Right at any time before they become exercisable.

Note 9 - Stock Purchase Loans
______________________________________________________________

On August 26, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted an executive stock
purchase program as a vehicle to enable executive officers to increase
their ownership in the Company by purchasing Company stock, further
aligning the interests of the officers with those of the shareholders.
Under the program, certain key executive officers may be given the
opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at market
prices from time to time over a specified period of time, and the Company
will finance 100% of the purchase price of such stock. The unsecured, full
recourse loans bear interest at Applicable Federal Rates and have due dates
ranging from August 31, 2002 to May 31, 2003. At February 2, 2002 and
February 3, 2001, $846,000 and $931,000, respectively, were outstanding
under these terms, and the notes receivable are reflected as a reduction in
stockholders' equity. Of the total, $43,000 was used to purchase shares
through open market transactions while the remainder was purchased from the
Company's treasury at then current market prices. The shares purchased
from the Company are unregistered and, therefore, are restricted when
received by participants. During Fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 2000, $53,000 and
$60,000, respectively, in interest income was recognized related to the
loans.
