Credit Agreement, dated as of August&nbsp;19, 2011 (the &#147;Amended and Restated Credit Agreement&#148;), by and
among the Company which, together with one of its subsidiaries, serves as a guarantor thereunder,
the remaining of the Company&#146;s subsidiaries as borrowers (the &#147;Borrowers&#148;), Bank of America, N.A.
as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders named therein. The Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement increases the Company&#146;s senior secured revolving credit facility from $45
million to $50&nbsp;million and extends its maturity date to August&nbsp;2016 (the &#147;Credit Facility&#148;). The
Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 175
to 225 basis points with no LIBOR floor.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Credit Facility
are subject to certain customary conditions and contain customary events of default, including,
without limitation, failure to make payments, a cross-default to certain other debt, breaches of
covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, a change in control, certain monetary
judgments and bankruptcy and ERISA events. Upon any such event of default, the principal amount of
any unpaid loans and all other obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be
declared immediately due and payable. The maximum availability under the Credit Facility is
limited by a borrowing base which consists of a percentage of eligible inventory and eligible
credit card receivables, less reserves.

Company and all of its subsidiaries as grantors (the &#147;Grantors&#148;) and Bank of America, N.A. as agent
(the &#147;Agent&#148;). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement, the Grantors pledged and
granted to the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the secured parties specified therein, a lien
on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest in substantially all of the assets
of the Company and the other Grantors to secure the payment and performance of the obligations
under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and
the Amended and Restated Security Agreement to amend and restate the previous Loan and Security
Agreement, dated as of October&nbsp;4, 2004 (the &#147;Loan and Security Agreement&#148;) and amended on August&nbsp;6,

Security Agreement and the amendment thereto have been previously filed with the Securities
Exchange Commission.

writing only once each week of the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer during the
immediately preceding week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice
to be furnished on such day of the week as the Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree. In connection
with any distributions to be made hereunder or any other Credit Extensions made by the Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Letters of Credit have been
issued by such L/C Issuer and are outstanding unless the Agent has received written notice thereof
from such L/C Issuer in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. All Existing Letters
of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective
Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed

(each such date, an &#147;<U>Honor Date</U>&#148;), the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the

of Credit or Issuer Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance or amendment of any
Letter of Credit, the failure to issue or amend any Letter of Credit, or the honoring or
dishonoring of any demand under any Letter of Credit, and such action or neglect or omission will

punitive, consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove
were caused by the L/C Issuer&#146;s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to
the contrary (or the L/C Issuer may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such
documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and may disregard
any requirement in a Letter of Credit that notice of dishonor be given in a particular manner and
any requirement that presentation be made at a particular place or by a particular time of day),

transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or

ineffective for any reason. The L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the wording of any Letter

are ineffective, ambiguous, inconsistent, unduly complicated or reasonably impossible to satisfy),

in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and
the termination of the Commitments. In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or
hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior
indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise

under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting
Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by

<B><I>Announces $40 Million Stock Repurchase Authorization</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August&nbsp;19, 2011) &#151; Kirkland&#146;s, Inc. (NASDAQ: KIRK) today reported financial
results for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July&nbsp;30, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the 13-week period ended July&nbsp;30, 2011, were $89.7&nbsp;million compared with $89.5
million for the 13-week period ended July&nbsp;31, 2010. Comparable store sales for the second quarter
of fiscal 2011 decreased 8.0% compared with a 1.0% increase in the prior-year quarter. The Company
opened 7 stores and closed 6 stores during the second quarter of 2011, bringing the total number of
stores to 294 as of quarter&#146;s end.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the 26-week period ended July&nbsp;30, 2011, were $184.1&nbsp;million compared with $183.0
million for the 26-week period ended July&nbsp;31, 2010. Comparable store sales for the 26&nbsp;weeks ended
July&nbsp;30, 2011, decreased 8.2% compared with an increase of 6.6% in the prior-year period. The
Company opened 10 stores and closed 16 stores during the 26-week period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company reported a net loss of $0.5&nbsp;million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter
of fiscal 2011 compared with net income of $3.3&nbsp;million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the second
quarter of fiscal 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the 26-week period ended July&nbsp;30, 2011, the Company reported net income of $2.7&nbsp;million, or
$0.13 per diluted share, compared with net income of $9.8&nbsp;million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for
the 26-week period ended July&nbsp;31, 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Robert Alderson, Kirkland&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, &#147;Our second quarter sales
and margin results were less than we had expected. A more aggressive than planned markdown cadence
was necessary throughout the quarter to keep our inventories well-positioned as we entered the
second half of the year. We continue to focus on new merchandise initiatives, but expect the
third quarter to look much like the second quarter should current trends continue.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Recent economic tumult may further impact consumer sentiment and spending in the back half, but we
are financially well-positioned to continue our controlled growth and weather an uncertain economic
environment. Our Board&#146;s decision to commence a stock repurchase program and the agreement to
renew our $50&nbsp;million credit facility signal our confidence in the future of Kirkland&#146;s.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Stock Repurchase Authorization of $40 Million</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase plan providing for the purchase in the
aggregate of up to $40&nbsp;million of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock over the next 18&nbsp;months.
The shares
may be repurchased from time to time in open market or negotiated transactions, and the amount and
timing of those purchases will be based on a variety of factors, including stock acquisition price,
regulatory limitations and other market and economic factors. The stock repurchase program does not
require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate the
repurchase program at any time. As of July&nbsp;30, 2011, the Company had 20.2&nbsp;million common shares
outstanding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>$50 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company also announced that it has agreed to renew its $50&nbsp;million senior secured credit
facility led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The facility will mature in August
2016 and will bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 175 to 225
basis points with no LIBOR floor and no financial maintenance covenants.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Fiscal 2011 Outlook</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At quarter end, the Company had 294 stores compared with 300 at the beginning of 2011 and 286 at
the end of the prior-year period. For fiscal 2011, the Company now expects to open approximately
15-20 net new stores, representing square footage growth of 9% to 12%. New store opening activity
will be heavily weighted toward the second half of the year. Store closings will typically
coincide with replacement store openings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company expects to fully fund its new store growth and technology improvements through cash
generated from operations. Capital expenditures are estimated to range between $24&nbsp;million and $27
million for fiscal 2011. Cash and cash equivalents as of July&nbsp;30, 2011 amounted to $75.1&nbsp;million.
Without taking into account any potential share repurchase activity, the Company expects to have
approximately $90&nbsp;million to $100&nbsp;million in cash and cash equivalents at year-end fiscal 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the third quarter ending October&nbsp;29, 2011, the Company expects sales and earnings results to be
similar to those reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Total sales and merchandise
margin are expected to be sequentially higher, but should be offset by the impact from higher
occupancy and operating expenses associated with a large number of store openings in the third
quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the second half of fiscal 2011, the Company expects to continue with new store and square
footage growth plans, deliver strong new store performance and generate significant cash flow.
However, given the current trends in the business and the uncertain economic outlook in the U.S.,
the all-important fourth quarter holiday shopping season is difficult to predict at this time. As a
result, the Company will provide details on its outlook for the fourth quarter when it announces
its results for the third quarter in November&nbsp;2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Investor Conference Call and Web Simulcast</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Kirkland&#146;s will host a conference call today, at 11:00&nbsp;a.m. ET to discuss its results of operations
