SELECT COMFORT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 30, 2002
of Select Comfort Corporation and subsidiaries ("Select Comfort" or the
"Company"), have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect, in
the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 30, 2002 and December
29, 2001 and the results of operations and cash flow for the periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's
Annual Report to Shareholders and its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 29, 2001. Operating results for the Company on a quarterly basis may
not be indicative of operating results for the full year.

(2) INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

MARCH 30, DECEMBER 29,
2002 2001
------------- -------------

Raw materials $2,167 $1,824
Work in progress 105 26
Finished goods 6,617 6,236
------------- -------------
$8,889 $8,086
============= =============

(3) LONG-TERM DEBT

In June 2001, the Company issued $11 million in principal amount of its senior
secured notes (the "Notes") in a private placement. The Notes have a five-year
maturity, bear interest at 8% per annum payable annually in cash and are
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the rate of $1.00 per
share. The principal amount of the Notes is subject to automatic conversion into
shares of the Company's common stock, at the rate of $1.00 per share of common
stock (i) any time after June 6, 2002, provided that the market price of the
common stock has equaled or exceeded $4.00 per share for a period of at least 10
out of 20 consecutive trading days after June 6, 2002 or (ii) in the event that
the holders of at least 67% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes
consent to such conversion. Upon automatic conversion, any unamortized debt
issuance costs and debt discount will be written-off and classified as an
extraordinary item in the Company's Statement of Operations. Unamortized debt
issuance costs and debt discount totaled $1.6 million at March 30, 2002. The
Notes are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's assets. In
addition, the holders of the Notes received warrants to purchase 4.4 million
shares of the Company's common stock for $1.00 per share. The warrants have a
five-year term. The Note conversion price and warrant exercise price are subject
to standard anti-dilution protections. The net proceeds from the Notes
approximated $10.4 million after deduction of placement fees and expenses.

In September 2001, the Company obtained $5 million of senior secured debt
financing (the "Debt"). The Debt has a five-year maturity, bears interest at 12%
per annum payable monthly in cash and calls for payment of interest only for
years one and two of the term and payment of interest and principal for years
three through five. The Debt is secured by a first lien on substantially all of
the Company's assets. In addition, the holder of the Debt received warrants to
purchase 922,819 shares of the Company's common stock for $1.02 per share. The
warrants have a five-year term and are subject to standard anti-dilution
protections. The net proceeds from the Debt approximated $4.8 million after
deducting fees and expenses.





6
SELECT COMFORT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The warrants were valued at $0.6 million and have been recorded as debt discount
to be amortized as interest expense over the 5-year term. The Debt is subject to
certain financial covenants consisting primarily of achieving minimum EBITDA
levels. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants at March 30,
2002.

(4) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The following computations reconcile net income (loss) with net income (loss)
per common share-basic and diluted (in thousands, except per share amounts).

Additional potentially dilutive securities oustanding during the periods ended

excluded from the EPS calculations because the effect on the calculation would
have been anti-dulutive.

(5) LITIGATION

In June of 1999, the Company and certain of its former officers and directors
were named as defendants in a class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court
in Minnesota. The suit, filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common
stock between December 4, 1998 and June 7, 1999, alleges that the Company and
the named former directors and officers failed to disclose or misrepresented
certain information concerning the Company in violation of federal securities
laws. In March of 2000, the same defendants were named in another class action
lawsuit asserting factual allegations identical to the first suit. Neither of
the suits specified an amount of damages claimed. The U.S. District Court
consolidated the two class actions in July of 2000.

In September of 2001, the consolidated case was certified to proceed as a class
action on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common stock issued under or
traceable to the Company's initial public offering prospectus dated December 4,
1998 and purchasers of the Company's common stock in the open market during the
period from December 4, 1998 through June 7, 1999.

The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends to vigorously
defend the claims. Discovery has begun.

The Company is involved in other various claims, legal actions, sales tax
disputes, and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management, any losses that may occur from these other matters
are adequately covered by insurance or are provided for in the consolidated
financial statements and the ultimate outcome of these other matters will not
have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

OVERVIEW

Select Comfort(R) is the leading manufacturer and retailer of premium quality,
innovative adjustable-firmness air-beds and other sleep related products.

We generate revenue by selling our products through four complementary
distribution channels. Three of these channels, retail, direct marketing and
e-commerce, are Company-owned and sell directly to consumers, while our
wholesale channel sells to leading furniture retailers and the QVC shopping
channel. Sales directly to consumers through Company-owned channels generally
generate higher gross margins than sales through our wholesale channels because
we capture both the manufacturer and retailer margins. We record revenue at the
time product is shipped to the customer, except when mattresses are delivered
and set up by our home delivery employees, in which case revenue is recorded at
the time the mattress is delivered and set up in the home. We reduce sales at
the time revenue is recognized for estimated returns.

The proportion of our total net sales, by dollar volume, from each of these
channels is summarized as follows:

Three Months Ended
--------------------
3/30/02 3/31/01
--------- ---------
Stores 75% 81%
Direct Call Center 15% 14%
E-commerce 4% 3%
Wholesale 6% 2%

--------- ---------
Beginning of period 328 333
Opened 1 2
Closed (5) (9)
--------- ---------
End of period 324 326
========= =========

Company-owned stores include leased space within 20 Bed, Bath & Beyond stores as
of March 30, 2002 and 24 at March 31, 2001. We anticipate that the number of
stores open will not change significantly in 2002. Comparable store sales
increased (decreased) by 15.1% and (6.5)% in March 30, 2002 and March 31, 2001,
respectively.

In 2002 our goal is to deliver profitable results and continued growth, driven
by the following four strategic priorities:

o BUILDING CONSUMER AWARENESS - we plan to continue to build awareness of our
Sleep Number(R) brand by expanding advertising by 10-15%, including
increases in national advertising and the number of stores supported by
local TV and radio.
o EXPANDING PROFITABLE DISTRIBUTION - we plan to continue to improve and
expand our distribution with planned store remodels and identifying
selective new store openings at the end of 2002 and early 2003. We will
also expand our wholesale distribution with new distribution through 40
Sleep Train stores beginning in second quarter of 2002 and will continue to
evaluate the addition of wholesale partners.
o IMPROVING PRODUCT QUALITY, INNOVATION AND SERVICE LEVELS - we will continue
to improve our core products, upgrading three of four mattress models and
adding sleep related products, including adjustable frames and expanded
accessory offerings.
o RIGHTSIZING OUR COST STRUCTURE - we will continue to apply the cost
disciplines employed during our turnaround - looking to improve operating
margins by identifying additional cost savings and maintaining cost
increases below sales growth rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

============= =============

COMPARISON  OF THREE  MONTHS  ENDED MARCH 30, 2002 WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 2001

Operating income for the first quarter 2002 totaled $3.4 million compared to an
operating loss of $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2001. The improvement in
profitability is a direct result of 24% higher sales and successful execution of
cost restructuring efforts.

NET SALES
Net sales increased 24.0% to $81.2 million for the three months ended March 30,
2002 from $65.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, due to an
increase in mattress unit sales and higher average selling prices. The increase
in net sales by sales channel was attributable to (i) a $7.8 million increase in
sales from Company-owned retail stores, including an increase in comparable
store sales of $7.7 million, (ii) a $3.1 million increase in direct marketing
sales, (iii) a $1.3 million increase in sales through the Company's e-commerce
channel and (iv) a $3.5 million increase in sales from the Company's wholesale
channel.

GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin increased to 67.5% for the three months ended March 30, 2002 from
63.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to lower cost
promotional offerings and reductions in manufacturing costs resulting from
improved quality, greater manufacturing leverage, reduced warranty costs and
savings in processing returned product.

SALES AND MARKETING
Sales and marketing expenses remained constant at $44.2 million for the three
months ended March 30, 2002 and March 31, 2001, but decreased as a percentage of
net sales to 54.4% from 67.5% for the comparable prior-year period. The decrease
as a percentage of net sales was attributable primarily to greater leverage in
media, media production and other marketing expenses. In the first quarter 2001
we introduced the Sleep Number ad campaign, launching initial markets with heavy
advertising spending, and developed the creative material to support the ongoing
campaign. In addition, fixed selling expenses have been reduced and leveraged
across a higher sales base.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses were held relatively flat at $7.2 million
for the three months ended March 30, 2002 versus $7.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to 8.9%
from 10.7% for the prior year period. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales was due to higher net sales levels.

STORE CLOSINGS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
Store closing and asset impairment expense decreased $294,000 to $52,000 for the
three months ended March 30, 2002 from $346,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2001. In 2002, this expense related entirely to store closures. In 2001, the
expense included $8,000 related to store closures and $338,000 related primarily
to the write-off of unusable fixtures for merchandising of our sleeper sofa
products and for unusable leased space.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Other expense increased $448,000 to approximately $473,000 for the three months
ended March 30, 2002 from $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The
increase is primarily due to interest expense from long-term debt.

INCOME TAX (BENEFIT) EXPENSE
Income tax (benefit) expense changed $463,000 to a $348,000 income tax benefit
for the three months ended March 30, 2002 from a $115,000 income tax expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2002 due to a federal tax law change in the
first quarter of 2002 allowing for additional carryback periods which resulted
in recognizing an income tax benefit during the quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been the sale of equity
securities. Our most recent source of capital has been from the completion of
our $11.0 million convertible debt offering in June 2001 and $5.0 million senior
secured term debt financing completed in September 2001. In addition, we
generated cash from operations for the full year in 2001 and during the first
quarter of 2002. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral for
these debt offerings and the Company presently has little or no ability to
obtain additional debt financing. Barring any unexpected significant external or
internal developments, we expect current cash balances on hand and cash
generated from operations to be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the
foreseeable future.



10
Net cash provided by operating  activities  for the three months ended March 30,
2002 was approximately $10.6 million and consisted primarily of the net income
adjusted for non-cash expenses, decreases in accounts receivable and increases
in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, partially offset by decreases
in accrued compensation and benefits and increases in inventories. The decrease
in our accounts receivable and increase in accounts payable and inventory is
primarily a function of the timing and size of QVC shows. The decrease in
accrued compensation is a result of annual incentive compensation payments made
during the quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 was approximately $0.3 million and consisted
primarily of the net loss adjusted for non-cash expenses, partially offset by
increases in accounts payable and decreases in accounts receivable and
inventories. The increase in accounts payable related primarily to increased
advertising during the first quarter of 2001. Decreases in accounts receivable
related to the timing of customer shipments at the end of the quarter. Decreases
in inventory balances were a result of specific initiatives to reduce inventory
balances at our manufacturing locations.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $6.9 million for the
three months ended March 30, 2002. Net cash provided by investing activities was
$2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Investing activities
consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment for new retail stores
and information technology system development costs. In 2002 we invested $5.6
million of cash in short-term marketable securities, while in 2001 we liquidated
$4.0 million of marketable securities to support continuing operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $82,000 for the
three months ended March 30, 2002 and $88,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2001 and consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock,
net of debt repayments.

At March 30, 2002, we had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $37.9 million expiring between the years
2003 and 2022. We have not recorded any value in our Consolidated Balance Sheet
for the potential future benefit of these NOLs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's debt obligations at March 30, 2002, of $11 million and $5 million
carry fixed interest rates of 8% and 12%, respectively. As these instruments
bear interest at fixed rates over the life of the instruments, the Company does
not believe it has significant exposure to interest rate risk.

Other financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of investments. The
counterparties to the agreements consist of government agencies and various
major corporations of high credit standing. The Company does not believe there
is significant risk of non-performance by these counterparties because the
Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution
and any one type of investment.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In June of 1999, the Company and certain of its former officers and directors
were named as defendants in a class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court
in Minnesota. The suit, filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common
stock between December 4, 1998 and June 7, 1999, alleges that the Company and
the named former directors and officers failed to disclose or misrepresented
certain information concerning the Company in violation of federal securities
laws. In March of 2000, the same defendants were named in another class action
lawsuit asserting factual allegations identical to the first suit. Neither of
the suits specified an amount of damages claimed. The U.S. District Court
consolidated the two class actions in July of 2000.

In September of 2001, the consolidated case was certified to proceed as a class
action on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common stock issued under or
traceable to the Company's initial public offering prospectus dated December 4,
1998 and purchasers of the Company's common stock in the open market during the
period from December 4, 1998 through June 7, 1999.

The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends to vigorously
defend the claims. Discovery has begun.

The Company is involved in other various claims, legal actions, sales tax
disputes, and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management, any losses that may occur from these other matters
are adequately covered by insurance or are provided for in the consolidated
financial statements and the ultimate outcome of these other matters will not
have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of
operations of the Company.
