MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Thirteen Weeks (Third Quarter) and Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 26, 1996
Versus Thirteen Weeks and Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 28, 1995
On October 18, 1996, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement
with Brylane, L.P. to sell its Chadwick's of Boston catalog division. As a
result of this transaction, the impact of Chadwick's on the consolidated
financial statements for the current and all prior periods have been
classified as discontinued operations. In addition, periods prior to
October 28, 1995 reflect the Hit or Miss division as a discontinued
operation as a result of the sale of that division on September 30, 1995.
On November 17, 1995, the Company acquired the Marshalls off-price family
apparel chain from Melville Corporation. Under the purchase method of
accounting, the assets and liabilities and results of operations associated
with the acquired business are included in the Company's financial position
and results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Net sales from continuing operations for the third quarter were $1,722.4
million, up 100% from $861.2 million last year. For the nine months, net
sales from continuing operations were $4,742.9 million, up 103% from
$2,336.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales is
primarily attributable to the acquisition of Marshalls. Same store sales
for the third quarter increased by 7% at T.J. Maxx, 9% at Marshalls and 22%
at Winners and decreased by 5% at HomeGoods. Same store sales for the nine
months increased by 6% at T.J. Maxx, 10% at Marshalls and 12% at Winners
and were flat at HomeGoods.
Income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $81.6 million,
or $.90 per common share, versus $26.7 million, or $.35 per common share in
the prior year. For the nine months, income from continuing operations was
$138.3 million, or $1.53 per common share, versus $43.6 million, or $.53
per common share, in the prior year. Including Chadwick's of Boston as a
discontinued operation, net income before extraordinary item was $90.4
million, or $1.00 per common share, for the quarter ended October 26, 1996
and $156.5 million, or $1.73 per common share, for the nine months ended
October 26, 1996. After the extraordinary charge of $2.9 million, or $.03
per common share, for the early retirement of $89 million of the Company's
9 1/2% sinking fund debentures, net income was $87.5 million, or $.97 per
common share, for the quarter ended October 26, 1996 versus $33.9 million,
or $.44 per common share, last year and $153.7 million, or $1.70 per common
share, for nine months ended October 26, 1996 versus $17.1 million, or $.16
per common share, in the prior year.

The following table sets forth operating results expressed as a percentage
of net sales (continuing operations):
Percentage of Net Sales
13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended
10/26/96 10/28/95 10/26/96 10/28/95
Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of sales, including

Selling, general and
administrative expenses 15.5 16.9 16.4 17.4
Interest expense, net .6 1.1 .7 1.1
Income from continuing
operations before income
taxes and extraordinary item 8.1% 5.2% 5.0% 3.2%
Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, as a percentage of net
sales, decreased in both periods from the prior year. Both periods reflect
the benefit of the Marshalls acquisition. Merchandise margin has improved,
reflecting the enhanced purchasing power of the combined T.J. Maxx and
Marshalls entity, as well as tight inventory controls.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
decreased from the prior year in both periods. This ratio reflects the
benefit of the increased sales volume due to the Marshalls acquisition as
well as cost savings due to the synergies of the combined T.J. Maxx and
Marshalls entity.
The increase in interest expense for the third quarter ended October 1996
versus October 1995 is due to interest on the $375 million term loan
incurred for the acquisition of Marshalls. The increase in interest
expense for the nine months also includes the interest on the $200 million
of notes issued in June 1995. Interest expense, as a percentage of net
sales, has declined as a result of the increased sales volume from the
Marshalls acquisition.
The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the nine months reflects
the tax benefits on foreign operating losses realizable due to a corporate
restructuring of certain foreign subsidiaries that took place in the second
half of fiscal 1996.

include the net operating results of T.K. Maxx. General corporate
expense for the periods ended October 28, 1995 include the net
operating results of T.K. Maxx and the Cosmopolitan catalog.
The off-price family apparel stores segment, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and
Winners, more than doubled its operating profit for the quarter and nine
months primarily due to the benefits of the Marshalls acquisition. This
segment's operating results reflect its strong sales performance, aided by
its aggressive markdown policy, along with tight inventory control.
HomeGoods results were slightly below the Company's expectations.
Stores in operation at the end of the period are as follows:
October 26, 1996 October 28, 1995
T.J. Maxx 589 581
Marshalls 463 -
Winners 63 49
HomeGoods 23 24
T.K. Maxx 18 8
PAGE 9
Financial Condition
Cash flows from operating and financing activities for the nine months
reflect increases in inventories and accounts payable, which are largely
due to normal seasonal requirements. The improvement in cash provided by
operating activities for the nine months ended October 1996 versus October
1995 reflects stronger sales and earnings and the benefit of tight
inventory controls. The decrease in short-term borrowings from last year
is a result of the strong cash position at the end of fiscal 1996, which
reflected the benefits from the timing of the Marshalls acquisition and the
resulting favorable cash flow of the holiday selling season, as well as the
cash generated from operating activities this year. Future operating cash
flows will be impacted by the T.J. Maxx store closing reserve and the
reserves established (primarily for store closings) in the allocation of
the purchase price of Marshalls. Reductions in the reserves for the nine
months ended October 26, 1996 have been primarily non-cash items. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the Marshalls store closing program
and the allocation of the purchase price of Marshalls. Due to the improved
operating performance of certain stores initially targeted for closing, the
Company anticipates fewer Marshalls store closings than initially planned.
Adjustments to the reserve and the initial allocation of the purchase price
of Marshalls will be reflected by the end of the current fiscal year.
Cash flows from investing activities reflect a final payment made to
Melville based on the closing balance sheet of Marshalls.
On October 18, 1996, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement
with Brylane, L.P. to sell its Chadwick's of Boston catalog division.
Total proceeds from the sale are estimated at $300 million and include
cash, a $20 million Convertible Subordinated Note and Chadwick's consumer
credit card receivables. The Company expects to report an estimated after-
tax gain on the sale of Chadwick's of $125 million, or $1.39 per share, in
its fourth quarter reporting period. The impact of Chadwick's on the
consolidated financial statements for the current and all prior periods
have been classified as discontinued operations.
On November 18, 1996, the Company, pursuant to its credit agreement, gave
notification of its intention to exercise an early prepayment option and to
prepay $200 million of the outstanding term loan from available cash
balances of the Company. The remaining outstanding portion of the term
loan ($160 million) will be repaid with proceeds from the sale of
Chadwick's, pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement, if not prepaid
prior to the closing of the Chadwick's sale. The Company expects to
record a fourth quarter after-tax charge of $2.7 million, or $.03 per
common share, relating to the early retirement of the term loan.
On September 16, 1996, pursuant to a call for redemption, the Company
prepaid $88.83 million of its 9 1/2% sinking fund debentures. The Company
recorded a $2.9 million after-tax extraordinary charge related to the early
retirement of this debt. The principal payments on long-term debt for the
nine months ended October 26, 1996 include $22 million of medium-term notes
and $15 million of the $375 million term loan, paid pursuant to scheduled
maturities. Proceeds from sale and issuance of common stock relate to the
exercise of stock options under the Company's stock incentive plan.
PAGE 10
As of September 12, 1996, pursuant to a call for redemption, the Series C
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into 3,177,844 shares
of common stock. As of June 18, 1996, pursuant to a call for redemption,
the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into
1,190,475 shares of common stock. As of November 17, 1996, the Series D
Preferred Stock automatically converted into 1,349,527 shares of common
stock.
PAGE 11
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The results for the first nine months are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full fiscal year, because the Company's business, in
common with the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to
seasonal influences, with higher levels of sales and income generally
realized in the second half of the year.
2. The preceding data are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring
adjustments, the use of retail statistics, and accruals and deferrals
among periods required to match costs properly with the related revenue
or activity, considered necessary by the Company for a fair presentation
of its financial statements for the periods reported, all in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and practices consistently
applied.
3. On October 18, 1996, the Company announced it had entered into an
agreement with Brylane, L.P. to sell its Chadwick's of Boston catalog
division. Total proceeds for the sale are estimated at $300 million and
include cash, a $20 million Convertible Subordinated Note and Chadwick's
consumer credit card receivables. The Company expects to report an
estimated after-tax gain on the sale of Chadwick's of $125 million, or
$1.39 per share, in its fourth quarter reporting period. The impact of
Chadwick's on the consolidated financial statements for the current and
all prior periods have been classified as discontinued operations.
Under the Company's credit agreement, the Company is required to apply
certain proceeds from specified asset sales towards the outstanding
balance of the term loan. See Note 7 for further information.
4. The Company's cash payments for interest expense and income taxes are as
follows: (in thousands)
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
October 26, October 28,
1996 1995
Cash paid for:
Interest on debt, net $35,284 $20,097
Income taxes 90,089 10,513
5. As of July 29, 1995, the Company reflected the loss on the sale of its
Hit or Miss division (completed as of September 30, 1995); thus, Hit or
Miss' operating results for all periods prior to the sale have been
reclassified to discontinued operations.
6. On November 17, 1995, the Company completed its acquisition of the
Marshalls off-price family apparel chain from Melville Corporation. The
purchase price (before expenses) was $599.3 million, consisting of $375
million in cash, before closing adjustments, plus an additional $49.3
million (paid on April 30, 1996) based on the final closing balance
sheet, plus $175 million in junior convertible preferred stock of TJX.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.
PAGE 12
As a result of the acquisition, the Company announced its intention to
close a total of 170 Marshalls stores and 30 T.J. Maxx stores, in
operation at the date of acquisition. The Company established a $244.1
million reserve in the allocation of the purchase price of Marshalls,
primarily relating to the Marshalls store closings, and recorded a pre-
tax charge of $35 million relating to the T.J. Maxx store closings. The
Company's total store closing and restructuring reserve as of October
26, 1996 totalled $202.3 million. The reduction in the reserve to date
is primarily due to inventory markdowns and fixed asset write-offs. The
Company is in the process of evaluating its store closing program and
the reserves established in the allocation of the Marshalls acquisition
price. Due to the improved operating performance of certain stores
initially targeted for closing, the Company anticipates fewer Marshalls
store closings than initially planned.
In connection with the purchase of Marshalls, the Company entered into
an unsecured $875 million credit agreement with a group of banks. The
credit facility included a $375 million term loan used for the cash
portion of the Marshalls purchase price, and a $500 million revolving
credit facility under which the Company may borrow to meet the Company's
ongoing working capital needs.
7. On November 18, 1996, the Company, pursuant to its credit agreement,
gave notification of its intention to exercise an early prepayment
option and to prepay $200 million of the outstanding term loan from
available cash balances of the Company. The remaining outstanding
portion of the term loan ($160 million) will be repaid with proceeds
from the sale of Chadwick's, pursuant to the terms of the credit
agreement, if not prepaid prior to the closing of the Chadwick's sale.
The Company expects to record a fourth quarter after-tax charge of $2.7
million, or $.03 per share, relating to the early retirement of the term
loan.
8. In October 1988, the Company completed the sale of its former Zayre
stores division to Ames Department Stores, Inc. ("Ames"). On April 25,
1990, Ames filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code and on December 30, 1992, Ames emerged from bankruptcy
under a plan of reorganization. The Company is liable for certain
amounts to be distributed under the plan for certain unassigned landlord
claims under certain former Zayre store leases on which Zayre Corp. was
liable as of the date of acquisition and which Ames has rejected.
The Company remains contingently liable for the leases of most of the
former Zayre stores still operated by Ames. In addition, the Company is
contingently liable on a number of leases of Waban Inc., a division
spun-off in fiscal 1990, and of the Hit or Miss division, the Company's
former off-price women's specialty stores, sold on September 30, 1995.
The Company believes that in view of the nature of the leases and the
fact that Ames, Waban and Hit or Miss are primarily liable, the
Company's contingent liability on these leases will not have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition. Accordingly, the Company
believes its available reserves of $19.7 million as of October 26, 1996
should be adequate to cover all reasonably expected liabilities
associated with discontinued operations that it may incur.
PAGE 13
9. On September 16, 1996, pursuant to a call for redemption, the Company
prepaid $88.83 million of its 9 1/2% sinking fund debentures. The

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
On October 18, 1996, the Company announced that it had reached an
agreement with Brylane, L.P. to sell its Chadwick's of Boston
catalog operation (Chadwick's). The purchase price includes $222.8
million in cash and a $20 million convertible subordinated note.
The cash purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the
actual closing balance sheet of Chadwick's. In addition, the
Company will retain Chadwick's consumer credit card receivables.
The Company anticipates consummating the sale in late November or
early December, 1996.
The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October
26, 1996 is based on the unaudited historical balance sheet of the
Company as of October 26, 1996, which reflects the Chadwick's
division as a discontinued operation. The pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of October 26, 1996 assumes the sale
of the division took place on that date and includes the following
pro forma adjustments: a) receipt of cash proceeds and note
receivable from Brylane, L.P., elimination of the net assets of
Chadwick's sold and recognition of the estimated net gain on the
sale of the division; b) the conversion of the Company's Series D
preferred stock into common stock following a required call for
redemption as a result of the sale; and c) the impact of the
prepayment of a portion of the $375 million term loan incurred to
acquire Marshalls from the cash proceeds from the sale of
Chadwick's. The remaining net assets from discontinued operations
represents the consumer credit receivables retained by TJX that
will be collected subsequent to the balance sheet date. The
Company anticipates using available cash balances and/or proceeds
from the Chadwick's sale to fully retire the term loan in the
Company's fourth quarter period ending January 25, 1997, which is
only partially reflected in these pro formas.
The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the
twelve months ended January 27, 1996 is based on the audited
historical statement of income of the Company as reported on Form
10-K for the year ended January 27, 1996 which includes Marshalls
operating results since its acquisition by the Company on November
17, 1995. (See the Company's filing on Form 8-K dated as of
November 17, 1995 and subsequent amendment.) These historical
results will be restated to present Chadwick's as a discontinued
operation in future filings that include this period. The
elimination of Chadwick's from continuing operations is presented
here as a pro forma adjustment. The pro forma condensed
consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended October
26, 1996 is based on the unaudited historical statement of income
of the Company filed with the Company's Form 10-Q, which already
reflects the operating results of Chadwick's as a discontinued
operation.
F-1
The historical results of the Company for the twelve months ended
January 27, 1996 have first been adjusted to reflect the
acquisition of Marshalls as if it had occurred on the first day of
the fiscal year. The pro forma adjustments include the historical
results of Marshalls from January 29, 1995 through the acquisition
date as well as adjustments for the impact of the purchase
accounting method and the impact of the preferred stock issued and
debt incurred as a result of the acquisition.
The pro forma results reflecting the acquisition of Marshalls for
the twelve months ended January 27, 1996 and the historical results
for the nine months ended October 26, 1996 are adjusted to reflect
the sale of the Chadwick's division as if it also occurred on the
first day of the fiscal year ended January 27, 1996. In addition
to the pro forma adjustment to eliminate Chadwick's from continuing
operations for the fiscal year ended January 27, 1996, the pro
forma adjustments to both periods to reflect the sale of Chadwick's
include a reduction in interest expense due to the prepayment of
debt from the cash proceeds received, and the recognition of
interest income on the convertible subordinated note receivable.
The pro forma statements of income exclude the non-recurring gain
of approximately $125 million the Company will recognize upon the
sale of the division and exclude a non-recurring charge of
approximately $1.6 million for the partial prepayment of debt.
These pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared for information purposes only and do not necessarily
indicate what would have occurred had the acquisition of Marshalls
and the sale of Chadwick's taken place on the dates indicated.
Specifically, the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
income for the twelve months ended January 27, 1996 includes the
historical results of Marshalls which is not necessarily indicative
of current results. Thus, the pro forma statement of income for
the twelve months ended January 27, 1996 does not fully reflect the
impact that Marshalls has had on the Company's results, nor is it
necessarily indicative of the impact that Marshalls may have on
future results of the Company. In addition, the pro forma
condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the
final allocation of the purchase price for Marshalls and do not
reflect benefit of the full prepayment of the $375 million term
loan anticipated to take place in the Company's fourth quarter
period ending January 25, 1997. The accompanying pro forma
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of the
Company, the Company's Form 8-K dated November 17, 1995 (and
subsequent amendment) relating to the Marshalls acquisition and the
Company's Form 8-K dated October 18, 1996 relating to the agreement
to sell the Chadwick's division.
