Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Structure and Results of Operation

J. Michaels, Inc. and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the 
retail sale of household furnishings, primarily on credit. The Company 
also operates a retail furniture rental division in the Buffalo area. 

Approximately 85% of retail furniture sales were made to revolving credit 
customers.

Sales (including finance charges) for the three months decreased from the 
previous year by 17.8% Net earnings decreased by 3.0%. The decrease in 
sales reflects the continued weakness in regional economy. Gross margin 
for the three months was 54.3% as compared to 55.5% last year. Credit 
Service Charges decreased by 12.7% over the previous year.

Selling general and administrative expenses decreased by $129,000 
primarily representing decreased payroll and payroll related costs.
