effective October 2, 1998, has materially changed the amounts reported in the
accompanying financial statements, which give effect to adjustments to the
carrying values of assets and liabilities as a consequence of the plan of
reorganization. The results of operations and cash flows have been split into
two periods. The first four months ended October 2, 1998 reflect operations
prior to the emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings. The latest two months ended
November 28, 1998 reflect operations after the emergence from Chapter 11
proceedings and reflect the effects of Fresh-Start Reporting (see note 2). As a
result, the net income for the two months ended November 28, 1998 is not
comparable with prior periods and is not combined with prior period net income
for year-to-date totals due to non-comparability. The balance sheet at November
28, 1998 is also not comparable to prior periods.

The financial statements included herein do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation for
the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending May 29, 1999. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Barry's Jewelers,
Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 30, 1998.

The Company changed its fiscal year end during 1998 from May 31 to the Saturday
closest to May 31. The Company's fiscal month of September 1998 ended on October
3, 1998. This five-week period is referred to as the one month ended October 2,
1998 to conform with the effective date of the Company's plan of reorganization
as any differences are deemed to be not significant. The two months ended
November 28, 1998 consists of the eight weeks then ended, while the quarter
ended November 30, 1997 consists of the three months then ended. The four months
ended October 2, 1998 consist of the 18 weeks then ended.

Samuels Jewelers, Inc. is a chain of specialty retail jewelry stores generally
located in regional shopping malls. The Company's stores offer fine jewelry
items in a wide range of styles and prices, with a principal emphasis on diamond
and gemstone jewelry. It operated 114 stores on November 28, 1998, and 128
stores on November 30, 1997.

The accompanying financial statements have been presented in accordance with
Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization
Under the Bankruptcy Code" (Fresh Start Reporting).

2.   REORGANIZATION

On May 11, 1997, (the "Petition Date"), the Company filed a voluntary petition
for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Central District of California, Los Angeles Division (the "Bankruptcy
Court"). After the Petition Date, the Company continued in possession of its
properties and, as Debtor-in-Possession, was authorized to operate and manage
its businesses and enter into all transactions (including obtaining services,
inventories, and supplies) that it could have entered into in the ordinary
course of business without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

On September 16, 1998, the Bankruptcy court entered an order (the "Confirmation
Order") confirming the Company's Original Disclosure Statement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated April 30, 1998, as Modified (as so modified and confirmed,
the "Plan"). A copy of the Plan and the Confirmation Order are attached as
Exhibits to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 16, 1998.
Please refer to such documents for more information.

The Plan was confirmed and became effective on October 2, 1998 (the "Effective
Date"). The Company adopted the fresh start reporting requirements of Statement
of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the
Bankruptcy Code" during the second quarter of fiscal 1999. In accordance with
the fresh start reporting requirements, the reorganization value of the Company
has been allocated to the Company's assets in conformity with the procedures
specified by APB Opinion 16, Business Combinations. In addition the accumulated
deficit of the Company was eliminated and its capital structure was revalued in
accordance with the Plan. The Company has recorded the effects of the Plan and
Fresh-Start Reporting as of October 2, 1998. The adjustment to eliminate the
Company's accumulated deficit totaled $77.6 million of which $11.6 million was
forgiveness of debt and the remaining $66.0 million was Fresh-Start adjustments.

The results of operations and cash flows for the four months ended October 2,
1998 include operations prior to the Company's emergence from Chapter 11
proceedings (referred to as "Predecessor Company") and the effects of
Fresh-Start Reporting. The results of operations and cash flows for the two
months ended November 28, 1998 include operations subsequent to the Company's
emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and reflect the effects of Fresh-Start
Reporting. As a result, the net income for the two months ended November 28,
1998 is not comparable with prior periods and the net income for the
year-to-date period ended November 28, 1998 is divided into Successor Company
and Predecessor Company and is also not comparable with prior periods. In
addition, the balance sheet as of November 28, 1998 is not comparable to prior
periods for the reasons discussed above.

Under the plan, the Company issued 5,001,800 shares of the reorganized company
stock. Of those shares 2,500,000 shares were issued to holders of Allowed Class
2 and Class 5 claims (secured and unsecured Claims of Bondholders), an
additional 2,251,800 were sold to holders of Allowed Class 2 and Class 5 claims,
and 250,000 shares were granted to executive officers of the reorganized
company. Under the plan, the Company issued 263,158 Reorganized Company Warrants
to the holders of Allowed Class 9 claims (claims of former holders of common
stock of Barry's Jewelers, Inc.).

The Company's stock is traded on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol
"SMJW".

The reorganized value of the Company's common equity of $47.1 million, was
determined by the Company, with the assistance of financial advisors, by
reliance on the Discounted Cash Flow method using the weighted average cost of
capital. The reorganized value of the Company has been allocated to specific
assets categories pursuant to Fresh-Start Reporting. Reorganization Value in
Excess of Amounts Allocated to Identifiable Assets reflects the difference in
the Company's stock valuation and the Company's net assets. The Company is
amortizing the Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocated to
Identifiable Assets over ten years.

3.   LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE UNDER REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS

In accordance with the Plan, these liabilities subject to compromise were
resolved on the Effective Date.

4.   LONG-TERM DEBT

On October 2, 1998, the Company entered into a three year, $50,000,000 financing
agreement with Foothill Capital Corporation as a lender and as agent for a
lender group (the "Lenders"). The lenders will make revolving advances to the
Company in amounts determined based on percentages of eligible accounts
receivable and inventory. The annual rate of interest will be, at the Company's
option, (i) 2.25% per annum over the Eurodollar rate or (ii) 0.5% per annum over
the bank's prime rate, provided, however, that in no event will the applicable
interest rate on any advance be less than 7% per annum. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any event of default under the financing agreement,
all obligations will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to three percentage
points above the otherwise applicable interest rate. As collateral for any and
all obligations to the lenders under the financing agreement, the Company
granted a first priority perfected security interest in and to substantially all
of its owned or thereafter acquired assets, both tangible and intangible. The
financing agreement contains quarterly covenants which include a minimum level
of tangible net worth and a ratio of in-house credit sales to total merchandise
sales. The financing agreement also gives the Company an option to reduce the
maximum credit line to no less than $25,000,000 upon the sale of the Company's
entire accounts receivable portfolio, provided, however, that such option will
expire eighteen months from the date of closing of the financing agreement.

As of November 28, 1998, the Company had direct borrowings of $41,524,000
outstanding with additional credit available of approximately $8,476,000.

As of November 28, 1998, the Company was in compliance with all terms of the
financing agreement.

5.   RESTATEMENT

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended November 28, 1998, the Company's management determined that compensation
expenses related to restricted stock grants and tax note bonuses, issued upon
confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization, recorded in the one and four month
periods ended October 2, 1998 should be adjusted and expensed over their vesting
term (in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25).
Approximately $1.8 million of expense relating to this grant was reversed from
reorganization expense and fresh-start entries were appropriately adjusted. In
addition, notes receivable associated with the grants were reclassified from
other current assets to notes receivable (contra-equity) as reflected in the
balance sheet as of November 28, 1998.


A summary of the changes to account balances is outlined in the table below.
