    BEAUMONT, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2005--Conn's, Inc.
(NASDAQ:CONN), a specialty retailer of home appliances, consumer
electronics, computers and peripherals, lawn and garden products and
mattresses, today announced its net sales results for the quarter and
six months ended July 31, 2005.
    Net sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 increased $25.0
million, or 21.0%, from $118.9 million for the quarter ended July 31,
2004 to $143.9 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2005. Same store
sales (sales recorded in stores operated for the entirety of both

million, or 19.1%, from $237.4 million for the six months ended July

Same store sales (sales recorded in stores operated for the entirety
of both periods) were up 10.0% for the same period.
    Net sales represent net product sales, delivery charges, service
revenues and commissions from service maintenance agreement sales.
Revenues from finance charges and other for the quarter and the six

release and conference call on August 30, 2005.
    Thomas J. Frank, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
"Our sales performance for the quarter was outstanding and is directly
attributable to improvements in staffing levels, training, and
execution on the sales floor. The results are satisfying, and I
believe that we will experience continued growth due to our constant
focus on superior performance within the four cornerstones of our
business model: credit, distribution, service and training. That
performance in turn enhances customer retention and new customer
growth."

qualifying special purpose entity in exchange for cash and
subordinated securities represented by asset-backed and variable
funding notes issued to third parties.
