                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 4, 1996 AND APRIL 29, 1995

GENERAL

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to
interim financial statements and do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management of L. Luria & Son, Inc. (the
"Company"), the accompanying condensed financial statements reflect all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as
of May 4, 1996 and April 29, 1995, and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the periods ended May 4, 1996 and April 29, 1995. Furthermore, all
adjustments were of a normal or recurring nature.

SEASONALITY

The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 1996 are not
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year because the
Company's operations are seasonal.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the
Company's financial statements in the 1996 L. Luria & Son, Inc. Annual Report,
which is incorporated by reference in Form 10-K.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     On November 30, 1995 the Company announced that a Florida Circuit Court
jury had returned a verdict of $13.8 million in favor of the Company in a case
in which the Company alleged that its competitor, Service Merchandise Company,
had tortiuously interfered with the Company's business relationship and business
rights at the Sawgrass Mills Shopping Center in Broward County, Florida. The
Company had executed a letter of intent with the shopping center's landlord, had
successfully negotiated a formal lease, but was unable to obtain execution of
the formal lease by the landlord. The jury decided in favor of the Company in
both of its theories: that the letter of intent was a binding contract with
which Service Merchandise had intentionally interfered and that, at the very
least, the letter of intent created a business relationship with which Service
Merchandise had intentionally and wrongfully interfered. The trial judge has
denied various post-trial motions and entered final judgment in favor of the
Company. Service Merchandise has indicated that it will appeal from the final
judgment. No award amount has been reflected in the financial statements.

WORKING CAPITAL

The Company entered into a secured revolving credit arrangement providing up to
$40.0 million. The line available to the Company is based on the value of
inventory. Management believes this line of credit is adequate for its working
capital needs during the fiscal year.

NET SALES

For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 1996, net sales were $29,369,000, a 22.5%
decrease compared to the same period last year. Comparable store sales decreased
16.4%. This year's first quarter sales were impacted by operating 43 stores vs.
45 stores in the same period last year, reduced advertising expenditures, and
reduced inventory levels.

GROSS MARGINS

Gross margins as a percent of net sales for the first thirteen weeks of the
current year decreased to 28.3% as compared to 29.2% for the prior year first
quarter due to greater discounts and promoted products as the Company reduces
its inventory in some significant categories in preparation for new product
lines planned for the Fall of Fiscal 1997.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for the current quarter increased as a percent of net sales
to 41.9% this year from 32.9% last year, due primarily to lower sales than last
year. Operating expenses for the quarter were 1.0% below last year's operating
expenses. Approximately $300,000 of carrying costs associated with previously
closed stores has been charged to reserves established in fiscal year 1996. The
Company currently operates eleven superstores, 31 catalog showrooms and one
jewelry mall store.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Continued)

INCOME TAX BENEFIT

The company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for future taxable amounts and deferred tax assets are recognized for
future deductions, as well as net operating loss carryforwards, tax credits and
other tax benefits. Income tax benefit for the thirteen-week period ended May 4,
1996 is estimated at 37.6% compared to last year's 37.5% rate for the quarter.

INVENTORIES

At May 4, 1996, inventory levels were $60.0 million versus the February 3, 1996
balance of $60.1 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.5 million at May 4, 1996
compared to $1.1 million at April 29,1995. Working capital at May 4, 1996 was
$21.6 million compared to $45.4 million at April 29, 1995 and $25.0 million at
February 3, 1996. Net cash used by operations during the quarter ending May
4,1996 was $23.0 million primarily due to the net operating loss of $2.7
million, a decrease in accounts payable of $18.3 million and an increase in
assets and prepaids of $2.0 million.

In February, 1996 the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement secured
by substantially all assets of the Company and providing up to $40.0 million.
The amount of credit available under the line is based on the value of
inventory. There were borrowings outstanding of approximately $19.9 million at
May 4, 1996.

The Company believes that available lines of credit and access to the capital
markets at competitive rates will be adequate to meet its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for fiscal year 1997.
