6 PAGE 6 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 February 11, 2000, the Company adopted the provisions of the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 related to layaway sales effective as of January 31, 1999. Accordingly, the Company restated its earnings for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000. The Company recorded a one-time, non-cash, after-tax charge of $5.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 for the cumulative effect of the accounting change. The prior periods presented in these Financial Statements have been restated and include the impact of the accounting change. 4. The Company's cash payments for interest and income taxes are as follows: THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED ------------------------------------ OCTOBER 28, OCTOBER 30, 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- (In Thousands) Cash paid for: Interest on debt $ 20,669 $ 9,983 Income taxes $225,558 $235,812 5. In October 1988, the Company completed the sale of its former Zayre Stores division to Ames Department Stores, Inc. ("Ames"). In April 1990, Ames filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and in December 1992, Ames emerged from bankruptcy under a plan of reorganization. The Company remains contingently liable for the leases of most of the former Zayre stores still operated by Ames. The Company believes that the Company's contingent liability on these leases will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition. The Company is also contingently liable on certain leases of its former warehouse club operations (BJ's Wholesale Club and HomeBase), which was spun off by the Company in fiscal 1990 as Waban Inc. During fiscal 1998, Waban Inc. was renamed HomeBase, Inc. and spun-off its BJ's Wholesale Club division (BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc.). HomeBase, Inc. and BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. are primarily liable on their respective leases and have indemnified the Company for any amounts the Company may have to pay with respect to such leases. In addition, HomeBase, Inc., BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. and the Company have entered into agreements under which BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. has
7 PAGE 7 substantial indemnification responsibility with respect to such HomeBase, Inc. leases. The Company is also contingently liable on certain leases of BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. for which both BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. and HomeBase, Inc. remain liable. The Company believes that its contingent liability on the HomeBase, Inc. and BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. leases will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition. The Company is also contingently liable on several leases of its former Hit or Miss division which was sold by the Company in September 1995. On November 17, 2000, the Hit or Miss store chain filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. TJX believes it has adequate reserves relating to its contingent liabilities associated with Hit or Miss and that these liabilities and future cash flow requirements are not material to the Company. 6. The Company's comprehensive income for the periods ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999 is presented below: <TABLE> <CAPTION> THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED -------------------------- --------------------------- OCTOBER 28, OCTOBER 30, OCTOBER 28, OCTOBER 30, 2000 1999 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- (As Restated) (As Restated) (In Thousands) (In Thousands) <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Net income $158,274 $151,717 $402,887 $384,718 Other comprehensive income (loss): Foreign currency translation adjustment, net of hedging activity 14 (154) (629) 107 Unrealized (loss) on marketable securities -- (58) -- (58) Reclassification adjustment of unrealized loss on marketable securities -- -- 133 -- -------- -------- -------- -------- Comprehensive income $158,288 $151,505 $402,391 $384,767 ======== ======== ======== ======== </TABLE> 7.

During October 1999, the Company received 693,537 common shares of Manulife Financial. The shares issued reflected ownership interest in the demutualized insurer due to policies held by the Company. These securities were recorded at market value upon receipt resulting in an $8.5 million pre-tax gain in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. Subsequent to the receipt of the shares, unrealized gains and losses were recognized as a component of comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes. The shares were sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 for $9.2 million. 9. During March 2000, the Company completed its $750 million stock repurchase program and announced its intention to repurchase an additional $1 billion of common stock over several years. During the nine months ended October 28, 2000, the Company repurchased 20.7 million shares at a cost of $396.1 million. Since the inception of the $1 billion stock repurchase program, the Company has repurchased 18.0 million shares at a cost of $342.9 million. 10. During July 2000, the Company entered into a $250 million, 364-day revolving credit agreement. This is in addition to the Company's existing $500 million revolving credit facility. The terms of the new agreement are substantially the same as those of the existing $500 million agreement, as amended. The additional facility is available for general corporate purposes, including the Company's stock repurchase program. 11. The Company historically aggregated several of its store chains in the "Off-price family apparel stores" segment. This segment included the Company's largest division, Marmaxx that operates the T.J. Maxx and Marshalls store chains in the United States. This segment also included the other store chains of Winners in Canada, T.K. Maxx in Europe and A.J. Wright in the United States. The Company's only other store chain, HomeGoods in the United States, was reported separately as the "Off-price home fashion stores" segment. Due to the growth of the Company's Winners and T.K. Maxx store chains, the Company has decided to no longer aggregate them with Marmaxx and A.J. Wright. Thus, going forward the Company will report each of its operating divisions as a separate segment.

11 PAGE 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 28, 2000 VERSUS THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 30, 1999 All reference to earnings per share amounts are diluted earnings per share unless otherwise indicated. Results for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1999 have been restated to reflect the change in accounting for layaway sales. Net sales for the third quarter were $2,461.4 million, up 10% from $2,235.1 million for the third quarter last year. For the thirty-nine week period net sales were $6,827.7 million, up 9% from $6,268.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales for both periods is attributable to an increase in same store sales and new stores. Consolidated same store sales increased 3% and 2% for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 28, 2000, respectively. Consolidated store count was up 10%, year over year, as of October 28, 2000. Same store sales for the thirteen weeks were up 3% at Marmaxx (T.J. Maxx and Marshalls), 9% at Winners and 10% at T.K. Maxx; were flat at HomeGoods; and increased 16% at A.J. Wright. Same store sales for the thirty-nine week period increased 2% at Marmaxx, 10% at Winners, 9% at T.K. Maxx, 5% at HomeGoods and 19% at A.J. Wright. Net income for the third quarter was $158.3 million, or $.56 per share, versus $151.7 million, or $.48 per share last year. For the thirty-nine week period, income before cumulative effect of accounting change was $402.9 million, or $1.38 per share, versus $389.9 million, or $1.22 per share. After a $5.2 million after-tax charge for the cumulative effect of accounting change, net income for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1999 was $384.7 million or $1.20 per share. The following table sets forth operating results expressed as a percentage of net sales: <TABLE> <CAPTION> PERCENTAGE OF NET SALES ------------------------------------------------------ THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED ------------------------- --------------------------- October 28, October 30, October 28, October 30, 2000 1999 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- (As Restated) (As Restated) <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs 73.4 73.7 74.2 74.2 Selling, general and administrative expenses 15.7 15.1 15.9 15.6 Interest expense, net .4 .2 .3 .1 ----- ----- ----- ----- Income before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change 10.5% 11.0% 9.6% 10.1% ===== ===== ===== ===== </TABLE> Cost of sales including buying and occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales, decreased slightly for the quarter and remained constant for the year-to-date period as compared to the comparable periods last year. This trend is largely driven by the Marmaxx division where strong merchandise margins and good expense control helped offset the impact of higher freight and distribution costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales has increased over the comparable periods last year. This increase is due, in part, to a pre-tax gain of $8.5 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the periods ended October 30, 1999, resulting from the demutualization of Manulife Financial. In addition this ratio reflects an increase in store payroll costs at Marmaxx for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2000.
12 PAGE 12 Interest expense, net, for the thirty-nine weeks ended this year includes interest income of $9.1 million versus $8.5 million of interest income last year. For the thirteen weeks ended, interest income was $.9 million this year versus $.5 million last year. The increase in interest expense, net, over the comparable periods last year, is primarily due to interest on the $200 million of 7.45% notes issued in December 1999. The Company's effective income tax rate is 38.8% for both the three months and the nine months ended October 28, 2000 versus 38.4% for comparable periods last year. Last year's effective tax rate included tax benefits associated with the Company's Puerto Rico net operating loss carryforward. Due to the growth of the Company's Winners and T.K. Maxx store chains, the Company has decided to present each of its operating divisions as a separate segment. See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Maxx operating results reflect the strong growth in their comparable store sales. HomeGoods posted flat comparable store sales for the quarter, the impact of which was partially offset by the strong performance of its new stores. HomeGoods is experiencing increases in pressure on its distribution capacity which has affected its inventory flow to stores. TJX is seeking additional permanent distribution capacity for HomeGoods and is adding to its third party processor capacity for this chain. General corporate expense as compared to the prior periods is affected by the pre-tax gain of $8.5 million included in the periods ended October 1999 relating to Manulife Financial. Stores in operation at the end of the periods presented are as follows: OCTOBER 28, 2000 OCTOBER 30, 1999 ---------------- ---------------- T.J.

Wright 22 11 ----- ----- Total stores 1,466 1,332 ===== ===== FINANCIAL CONDITION Cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended October 28, 2000 reflect increases in inventories and accounts payable that are primarily due to normal seasonal requirements and are largely influenced by the change in inventory from year-end levels. Inventory levels also reflect an increase at Marmaxx due to the earlier receipt of merchandise to support its new holiday gift-giving initiative. Investing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2000 include proceeds of $9.2 million from the sale of all of the shares of common stock of Manulife Financial. Investing activities also include $18.5 million of advances made by the Company under a construction loan agreement in connection with the expansion of TJX's leased home office facility. During July 2000, TJX entered into a $250 million 364-day revolving credit agreement. This is in addition to the Company's existing $500 million revolving credit agreement. The additional credit facility is available for general corporate purposes, including the stock repurchase program. As of October 28, 2000, the Company had
14 PAGE 14 aggregate short-term borrowings of $311.0 million under all of its credit lines. Financing activities also include principal payments of $100 million due to the maturity of the 6 5/8% unsecured notes. During March 2000, TJX completed its $750 million stock repurchase program and announced its intention to repurchase an additional $1 billion of common stock over several years. During the nine months ended October 28, 2000, TJX repurchased 20.7 million shares at a total cost of $396.1 million. Since the inception of the $1 billion stock repurchase program, the Company has repurchased 18.0 million shares at a total cost of $342.9 million. On November 17, 2000, the Company's former Hit or Miss store chain filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. TJX believes it has adequate reserves relating to its contingent liabilities associated with Hit or Miss and that these liabilities and future cash flow requirements are not material to the Company.
