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 six months decreased from the
previous year by 16.9%. Net earnings decreased by 84.5%. The decrease in sales
reflects the continued weakness in regional economy. Gross margin for the six
months was 53.9% as compared to 55.4% last year. Credit Service Charges
decreased by 10.2% over the previous year.

Selling general and administrative expenses decreased by $204,000 primarily
representing decreased payroll and payroll related costs.

Capital gains realized for the current six months was approximately $38,000.
At September 30, 1995 the Company had no investments which varied with the
market. The reserve for unrealized gains, and losses therefore, was reduced
to zero.
