Item 1. Security and Issuer. Common Stock of The Bombay Company, Inc., 550 Bailey Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas 76107 Item 2. Identity and Background. The D3 Family Fund, L.P. is a Washington State limited partnership, whose principal business is investing in the equities of public micro-cap issuers. Located at 19605 N.E. 8th St., Camas, Washington 98607. No convictions or administrative proceedings as described in 2 (d) and (e). Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Source of funds is money invested in the partnership by its partners. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Despite disappointing recent comparable store sales, we have continued building our long term investment in Bombay. We believe that comps should turn positive in October due to easier monthly comparisons and to the shipment of new product assortments to the stores. We also expect that Bombay's investments in improved information technology, infrastructure, and off-mall real estate will soon drive improved performance. Finally, we believe that Bombay has a strong CEO and a strong board of directors, neither of whom will accept poor execution or other obstacles to the successful turnaround of the company. Item 5.
