to transition the merchandising strategies of our Hold Everything brand into our other existing brands by the end of fiscal 2006. In connection with this transition, we incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $13,500,000, or $0.07 per diluted
share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we incurred an additional charge of approximately $961,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share. Of this pre-tax charge, approximately $732,000 is included in cost
of goods sold and approximately $229,000 is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the twenty-six weeks ended July&nbsp;30, 2006, we incurred a total charge of $4,134,000, or $0.02 per diluted share. Of this pre-tax charge,
approximately $2,426,000 is included in cost of goods sold and approximately $1,708,000 is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. All of our Hold Everything retail stores were closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The
final phase of our operational shutdown was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, with our final Hold Everything catalog mailed on May&nbsp;16, 2006 and our website ceasing operations on June&nbsp;30, 2006. Our Outlet stores are being used

certificates and gift cards being redeemed beyond four years from the date of issuance is remote. As a result, we have changed our estimate of the elapsed time for recording income associated with unredeemed gift certificates and gift cards to four
years from our prior estimate of seven years. This change in estimate resulted in the recording of income in selling, general and administrative expense of approximately $12,400,000. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

upon notice to the lenders, request an increase in the credit facility of up to $100,000,000, to provide for a total of $400,000,000 of unsecured revolving credit. The credit facility contains events of default that include, among others,
non-payment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness and events constituting a change of
control. The occurrence of an event of default will increase the applicable rate of interest by 2.0% and could result in the acceleration of our obligations under the credit facility, and an obligation of any or all of our U.S. subsidiaries to pay
the full amount of our obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility matures on February&nbsp;22, 2010, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid and all outstanding letters of credit must be cash collateralized.

merchandising concepts which sell products for the home (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home). The six retail merchandising concepts are operating segments, which have been aggregated
into one reportable segment, retail. The direct-to-customer segment has seven merchandising concepts (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home) and sells similar products through
our eight direct-mail catalogs (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn Bed + Bath, PBteen, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home) and six e-commerce websites (williams-sonoma.com, potterybarn.com,
potterybarnkids.com, pbteen.com, westelm.com and holdeverything.com). All of our Hold Everything retail stores were closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The final phase of our operational shutdown was completed in the second quarter of
fiscal 2006, with our final Hold Everything catalog mailed on May&nbsp;16, 2006 and our website ceasing operations on June&nbsp;30, 2006. Management&#146;s expectation is that the overall economics of each of our major concepts within each
reportable segment will be similar over time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

concepts (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home). The direct-to-customer segment of our business sells similar products through our eight direct-mail catalogs (Williams-Sonoma, Pottery
Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn Bed + Bath, PBteen, Hold Everything, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home) and six e-commerce websites (williams-sonoma.com, potterybarn.com, potterybarnkids.com, pbteen.com, westelm.com and holdeverything.com).
All of our Hold Everything retail stores were closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The final phase of our operational shutdown was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, with our final Hold Everything catalog mailed on
May&nbsp;16, 2006 and our website ceasing operations on June&nbsp;30, 2006. Based on net revenues in fiscal 2005, retail net revenues accounted for 57.4% of our business and direct-to-customer net revenues accounted for 42.6% of our business. Based
on their contribution to our net revenues in fiscal 2005 (representing approximately 90%), the core brands in both retail and direct-to-customer are: Pottery Barn, which sells casual home furnishings; Williams-Sonoma, which sells cookware
essentials; and Pottery Barn Kids, which sells stylish children&#146;s furnishings. The following discussion and analysis of financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with our
condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.<B> </B> </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

primarily driven by increases in the Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma brands. Despite this increase in revenues during the quarter, we are seeing an overall softening in our consumer demand, primarily in our Pottery Barn
brand. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the quarter, we experienced several unusual business events,
including unredeemed gift certificate income due to a change in estimate, litigation settlement income, expense associated with the departure of our Chief Executive Officer and the expense associated with the Hold Everything transition. Including a
$0.01 per diluted share net benefit from these unusual business events and the implementation of two new accounting pronouncements (SFAS No.&nbsp;123R, &#147;Share-Based Payment&#148; and Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;FAS&#148;) FSP 13-1,
&#147;Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred During a Construction Period&#148;), diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 increased 15.4% to $0.30 per diluted share versus $0.26 per diluted share in the second quarter of

second quarter of fiscal 2006 versus the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This increase was primarily driven by a year-over-year increase in retail leased square footage of 7.5%, including 14 net new stores, and a comparable store sales increase of
1.2%. Net revenues generated in the West Elm, Pottery Barn Kids, Williams-Sonoma, Williams-Sonoma Home and Pottery Barn brands were the primary contributors to this year-over-year net revenues increase. </FONT></P> <P

fiscal 2006 versus the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This year-over-year increase was primarily driven by net revenues generated in the Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn, PBteen, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma brands due to an overall increase in page
circulation and continued strength in our Internet business, resulting from our expanded efforts associated with electronic direct marketing and our on-line advertising initiatives. All brands in the direct-to-customer channel delivered positive

increased traffic in e-commerce. In merchandising, we saw continued strength in furniture and textiles, in addition to decorative accessories and lighting. Also during the quarter, we re-launched our e-commerce website on a new IBM platform, and

connection with this transition, we incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $13,500,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we incurred an additional charge of approximately
$961,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share. Of this pre-tax charge, approximately $732,000 is included in cost of goods sold and approximately $229,000 is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. All of our retail stores were
closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The final phase of our operational shutdown was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, with our final Hold Everything catalog mailed on May&nbsp;16, 2006 and our website ceasing operations on
June&nbsp;30, 2006. Our Outlet stores are being used for the final clearance of inventory and the merchandising categories the brand represented are being transitioned into our other brands. </FONT></P> <P

business primarily due to our efforts associated with electronic direct marketing and on-line advertising initiatives. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

more than 20% in the previous 12 months and which have been open for at least 12 consecutive months without closure for seven or more consecutive days. Comparable stores exclude new retail concepts until such time as we believe that comparable store
results in those concepts are meaningful to evaluating the performance of the retail strategy. For the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005 and year-to-date 2006 and 2005, our total comparable store sales exclude the West Elm concept. In fiscal
2006, we expect to exclude West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home. By measuring the year-over-year sales of merchandise in the stores that have a history of being open for a full comparable 12 months or more, we can better gauge how the core store base
is performing since it excludes store remodelings, expansions and closings. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

changes in our merchandise mix, competition, current local and global economic conditions, the timing of our releases of new merchandise and promotional events, the success of marketing programs, the cannibalization of existing store sales by our
new stores, increased catalog circulation, and continued strength in our Internet business. Among other things, weather conditions can affect comparable store sales because inclement weather can alter consumer behavior or require us to close certain
stores temporarily and thus reduce store traffic. Even if stores are not closed, many customers may decide to avoid going to stores in bad weather. These factors have caused our comparable store sales to fluctuate significantly in the past on an
annual, quarterly and monthly basis and, as a result, we expect that comparable store sales will continue to fluctuate in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased 10 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This decrease was primarily driven by the recording of income associated with
unredeemed gift certificates resulting from a change in estimate, the recording of income from the settlement of certain litigation, and reductions in other general expenses. This decrease was partially offset by higher employment and advertising
costs. Increased employment costs as a percentage of net revenues were primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation expense from the implementation of FAS 123R, expense incurred in connection with the departure of our Chief Executive
Officer, and the ongoing investment in the growth of the West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home brands. Higher advertising costs as a percentage of net revenues were primarily driven by reduced catalog productivity in the Pottery Barn brand. </FONT></P>

associated with the retail and direct-to-customer industries, and we expect this to continue going forward. In anticipation of our peak season, we hire a substantial number of additional employees in our retail stores and direct-to-customer

significantly, and we may be required to mark down certain products to sell the resulting excess inventory or to sell such inventory through our outlet stores or other liquidation channels at prices which are significantly lower than our retail

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, we must manage our inventory effectively and commensurate with customer demand. Much of our inventory is
sourced from vendors located outside the U.S. Thus, we usually must order merchandise, and enter into contracts for the purchase and manufacture of such merchandise, up to twelve months in advance of the applicable selling season and frequently
before trends are known. The extended lead times for many of our purchases may make it difficult for us to respond rapidly to new or changing trends. Our vendors may also not have the capacity to handle our demands. In addition, the seasonal nature
of the specialty home products business requires us to carry a significant amount of inventory prior to peak selling season. As a result, we are vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts and to misjudgments in the selection and timing of merchandise
purchases. If we do not accurately predict our customers&#146; preferences and acceptance levels of our products, our inventory levels will not be appropriate, and our business and operating results may be negatively impacted. </FONT></P> <P

debt, conditions in the housing market, interest rates, sales tax rates and rate increases, inflation, consumer confidence in future economic conditions and political conditions, and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security. These
factors may also affect our various brands and channels differently. Adverse changes in factors affecting discretionary consumer spending could reduce consumer demand for our products, thus reducing our sales and harming our business and operating
results. For example, the August 2005 natural disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina will likely continue to affect consumer spending in the vicinity of the disaster. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

difficulty adjusting to our changing demands and growing business. Our vendors&#146; failure to manufacture or import quality merchandise in a timely and effective manner could damage our reputation and brands, and could lead to an increase in

manufacturers in 35 countries outside of the United States. Approximately 63% of our merchandise purchases were foreign-sourced, primarily from Asia and Europe. Our dependence on foreign vendors means that we may be affected by declines in the
relative value of the U.S. dollar to other foreign currencies. For example, any upward valuation in the Chinese Yuan against the U.S.&nbsp;Dollar may result in higher costs to us for those goods that we source from mainland China. Although
approximately 95% of our foreign purchases of merchandise are negotiated and paid for in U.S. dollars, declines in foreign currencies and currency exchange rates might negatively affect the profitability and business prospects of one or more of our
foreign vendors. This, in turn, might cause such foreign vendors to demand higher prices for merchandise, delay merchandise shipments to us, or discontinue selling to us, any of which could ultimately reduce our sales or increase our costs.

economic and political conditions in foreign countries. These risks and uncertainties include import duties and quotas, concerns over anti-dumping, work stoppages, economic uncertainties (including inflation), foreign government regulations, wars
and fears of war, political unrest, natural disasters and other trade restrictions. We cannot predict whether any of the countries in which our products are currently manufactured or may be manufactured in the future will be subject to trade
restrictions imposed by the U.S. or foreign governments or the likelihood, type or effect of any such restrictions. Any event causing a disruption or delay of imports from foreign vendors, including the imposition of additional import restrictions,
restrictions on the transfer of funds and/or increased tariffs or quotas, or both, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of merchandise available to us and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Furthermore,
some or all of our foreign vendors&#146; operations may be adversely affected by political and financial instability resulting in the disruption of trade from exporting countries, restrictions on the transfer of funds and/or other trade disruptions.

segments. While we believe that the surveys and other relevant information are helpful indicators of suitable store locations, we recognize that the information sources cannot predict future consumer preferences and buying trends with complete
accuracy. In addition, changes in demographics, in the types of merchandise that we sell and in the pricing of our products may reduce the number of suitable store locations. Further, time frames for lease negotiations and store development vary
from location to location and can be subject to unforeseen delays. Construction and other delays in store openings could have a negative impact on our business and operating results. We may not be able to open new stores or, if opened, operate those

labor disputes, union organizing activity, inclement weather, natural disasters, and possible acts of terrorism associated with such carriers&#146; ability to provide delivery services to meet our shipping needs. Failure to deliver merchandise in a
timely and effective manner could damage our reputation and brands. In addition, fuel costs have increased substantially and airline companies struggle to operate profitably, which could lead to increased fulfillment expenses. The increased

in sales mix among distribution channels, our ability to efficiently source and distribute products, changes in our merchandise mix, competition, current local and global economic conditions, the timing of our releases of new merchandise and
promotional events, the success of marketing programs, the cannibalization of existing store sales by our new stores, increased catalog circulation, and continued strength in our Internet business. Among other things, weather conditions can affect
comparable store sales because inclement weather can alter consumer behavior or require us to close certain stores temporarily and thus reduce store traffic. Even if stores are not closed, many customers may decide to avoid going to stores in bad
weather. These factors have caused and may continue to cause our comparable store sales results to differ materially from prior periods and from earnings guidance we have provided. For example, the August 2005 natural disaster caused by Hurricane
Katrina resulted in five temporary store closures. As of July&nbsp;30, 2006, all five stores have been reopened. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

the future. Our ability to maintain and improve our comparable store sales results depends, in large part, on maintaining and improving our forecasting of customer demand and buying trends, selecting effective marketing techniques, providing an
appropriate mix of merchandise for our broad and diverse customer base and using effective pricing strategies. Any failure to meet the comparable store sales expectations of investors and security analysts in one or more future periods could

compensation at fair value and record compensation expense equal to that value over the requisite service period. This accounting rule is estimated to have a negative impact of approximately 10% on our fiscal 2006 diluted earnings per share. A
change in accounting rules or regulations may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. Other new accounting rules or regulations and varying interpretations of existing accounting rules or regulations have
