               E & B MARINE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            UNAUDITED


1:   Basis of Presentation

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods.  

The results of operations for the three-month period ended April 1,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

2:   Inventories

Inventory has been calculated using the cost complement obtained
from the inventory tracking system which is applied on an
individual store basis. Additionally, gross profit margin is
reduced by an estimated percentage of sales for shrinkage. 

3:   Loss per Common Share

The loss per Common Share for 1995 and 1994 respectively, is based
on the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during
the quarter. Common stock equivalents are not considered in the
computation, as their inclusion (utilizing the modified treasury
stock method), would be anti-dilutive on the per share amounts.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended April 1,
1995 were $19,131, an increase of $2,983 or 18.5 percent from sales
of $16,148 for the three-month period ended March 26, 1994. 

Retail store net sales were $15,925 for the three-month period
ended April 1, 1995, an increase of 20.4 percent from net sales of
$13,228 in 1994.  Sales in stores opened during comparable periods
in 1995 and 1994 increased $1,460 or 11.0 percent. 

The increase in sales in the retail stores is principally
attributable to the seven retail stores opened after the first
quarter of 1994 and a later ending of the first fiscal quarter of
1995 due to the Company's 52-53 week fiscal year.  Comparable retail
store sales for the first quarter of 1995 would have increased 1.6 
percent over the first quarter of 1994 had fiscal 1994 been a 52 week
year.

Mail-order net sales were $3,206 for the three-month period ended
April 1, 1995, an increase of $286 or 9.8 percent compared to net
sales of $2,920 for the three-month period ended March 26, 1994. 

The increase in mail-order sales can be principally attributable to
a later ending of the first fiscal quarter of 1995 due to the
Company's 52-53 week fiscal year and milder weather conditions in
1995.

The Company's gross profit margin in 1995 of 21.9 percent is
comparable to the gross profit margin of 21.7 percent in 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $721 or 15.4
percent from the previous year.  As a percentage of sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased from 28.9 percent in
1994 to 28.2 percent in 1995.  During the first quarter of 1995,
the Company incurred additional expenses relating to the new retail
stores and improvements to the 1995 master catalog.

Net interest expense increased to $400 in 1995 from $330 in 1994. 
The Company incurred an increased level of borrowings and rate of
interest in the first quarter of 1995.  See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" below for further discussion.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $751 for the three
months ended April 1, 1995 which represents the tax benefit of
losses which the Company believes will more likely than not be
recognized.

The loss for the three-months ended April 1, 1995 was $1,128
compared to the loss at March 26, 1994 of $1,790.

               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital at April 1, 1995 and December 31,
1994 was $12,974 and $13,047, respectively.  The decrease in
working capital was mainly attributable to increased borrowings
under the revolving line of credit and increased accounts payable
to finance increased inventory levels.  The Company increased its
inventory to prepare for its peak selling season, to increase its
product assortment and to accommodate store openings.  

The Company believes that its working capital and its credit
facility will be adequate to meet identifiable working capital
requirements in the foreseeable future.  Total weighted average
borrowings were $16,395 and $14,360 in 1995 and 1994, respectively
and the weighted average interest rate was 9.8 percent and 8.2
percent in the first quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  

Cash flow from operations, combined with its available line of
credit of $15,000, is expected to provide the necessary funds for
planned capital expenditures during 1995 and 1996. These
expenditures are estimated to total approximately $3,000 in 1995
and primarily constitute expenditures for store expansion,
relocations and remodelings.
