         Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
           For the Twenty-Six Weeks Ended February 26, 2000
                (In thousands except for share amounts)



 (1)      Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements  of
Jennifer Convertibles, Inc. (the "Company") and subsidiaries and  certain
licensees  have  been  prepared  in accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  for interim financial information  and  with  the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,
they  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
have been included.  Due to many factors inherent in the retail industry,
the  operating results for the interim period ended February 26, 2000 are
not  necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected  for  the
year  ending  August  26, 2000.  For further information,  refer  to  the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included  in  the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 28, 1999.

(2)        Merchandise Inventories

           Merchandise  inventories  are stated  at  the  lower  of  cost
(determined  on  the  first-in,  first-out  method)  or  market  and  are
physically located, as follows:

                                                 02/26/00   8/28/99
          Showrooms                              $ 4,737    $ 4,203
          Warehouses                               5,439      5,431
                                                 $10,176    $ 9,634

           Showroom inventory increased by $534, of which $265 was for  7
new  stores  opened in this fiscal year.  Vendor discounts and allowances
in  respect  to  merchandise purchased by the Company are included  as  a
reduction of inventory and cost of sales.

(3)        Commitments, Contingencies and Other Matters

          Class Action and Derivative Action Lawsuits

          Between December 6, 1994 and January 5, 1995, the Company was
served  with  eleven class action complaints and six derivative  action
lawsuits which deal with losses suffered as a result of the decline  in
market  value  of  the Company's stock as well as  the  Company  having
"issued  false  and  misleading  statements  regarding  future   growth
prospects, sales, revenues and net income".

          Settlement Of Class Action Litigation

           On November 30, 1998, the court approved the settlement of a
series  of  11  class actions commenced in December  1994  against  the
Company,  various  of  the Company's present and  former  officers  and
directors,  and  certain third parties, in the United  States  District
Court  for the Eastern District of New York. The complaints in  all  of
these  actions alleged that the Company and the other named  defendants
violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and  Rule
10b-5  promulgated  thereunder in connection  with  the  press  release
issued by the Company on or about December 2, 1994. All of these  class
actions   were   consolidated  under  the  caption   In   Re   Jennifer
Convertibles, Case No. 94 Civ. 5570, pending in the Eastern District of
New York. The settlement provides for the payment to certain members of
the  class and their attorneys of an aggregate maximum amount of $7,000
in  cash and preferred stock having a value of  $370.  The cash portion
of  the  settlement was funded entirely by insurance company  proceeds.
The   Company  issued  26,664  shares  of  series  B  preferred  stock,
convertible  into 18,664 shares of our common stock. These  shares  are
non-voting, have a liquidation preference of $5.00 per share or $133 in
total,  and  accrue dividends at the rate of $.35 per share per  annum.
The  cumulative unpaid dividends at February 26, 2000 totaled $12.  The
preferred  stock  is convertible at the Company's option  at  any  time
after the common stock trades at a price of at least $7.00 per share.

          The Derivative Litigation

Beginning  in December 1994, a series of six actions were commenced  as
derivative   actions  on  the  Company's  behalf  against   Harley   J.
Greenfield, Fred J. Love, Edward B. Seidner, Bernard Wincig, Michael J.
Colnes,  Michael  Rosen,  Al Ferarra, William M.  Apfelbaum,  Glenn  S.
Meyers,  Lawrence  R. Haut, the private company, Jerome  I.  Silverman,
Jerome I. Silverman Company, Selig Zises and BDO Seidman & Co. (each of
these individuals and  entities is named as a defendant in at least one
action)  in:  (a)  the United States  District Court  for  the  Eastern
District  of  New  York,   entitled Philip  E.  Orbanes  V.  Harley  J.
Greenfield,  et al., Case No. CV 94-5694 (DRH) and Meyer Okun and David
Semel  V.  Al Ferrara,  et al., Case No. CV 95-0080 (DRH);  Meyer  Okun
Defined Benefit Pension Plan, et al. V. Bdo Seidman & Co., Case No.  CV
95-1407 (DRH); and Meyer Okun Defined Benefit Pension Plan V. Jerome I.
Silverman Company, et. al., Case No. CV 95-3162 (DRH); (b) the Court of
Chancery  for  the  County  of New Castle in  the  State  of  Delaware,
entitled Massini V. Harley Greenfield, et. al., Civil Action No.  13936
(WBC);  and (c) the Supreme Court of the State of New York,  County  of
New  York,   entitled  Meyer Okun Defined  Benefit   Pension   Plan  V.
Harley J. Greenfield, et. al., Index No. 95-110290.

           For the Twenty-Six Weeks Ended February 26, 2000
                (In thousands except for share amounts)




           The  complaints in each of these actions assert various acts
of  wrongdoing  by  the defendants,  as well as  claims  of  breach  of
fiduciary  duty  by  the  Company's present  and  former  officers  and
directors, including  but not limited to claims relating to the matters
described  in  the  Company's  December  2,  1994  press  release.   As
described  in  prior filings,  the Company had entered into  settlement
agreements as to the derivative  litigation  subject,  in the  case  of
certain of such agreements,  to court approval of such settlement by  a
certain date. Such court  approval  was not obtained by such date,  and
in  July  1998,  the private company exercised its option  to  withdraw
from  the  settlement.  The Company is currently negotiating  with  the
private  company with respect to a new settlement.  However, there  can
be no assurance that a settlement will be reached or as to the terms of
such settlement.


          Subsequent Event

On  March  23,  2000 the Company purchased the stock of the  previously
unconsolidated licensee known as South Florida Holding Company for  the
sum  of  $800.  The acquisition will add six stores in Florida  to  the
consolidated total. These stores generated $3,794 of revenues  for  the
fiscal  year ended August 28, 1999.  Consolidated financial  statements
beginning  with  March 25, 2000, our third quarter,  will  include  the
operations of these additional six stores.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

Results of Operations:

         Except   for  historical  information  contained  herein,   this
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  Results
of  Operations" contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the  U.  S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended.
These  statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties  that
may  cause  the  Company's  actual results or outcome  to  be  materially
different  from any future results, performance or achievements expressed
or  implied by such forward looking statements.  Factors that might cause
such  differences  include, but are not limited to the risk  factors  set
forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report  on
Form  10-K  for  the fiscal year ended August 28, 1999.  In  addition  to
statements,  which  explicitly  describe such  risks  and  uncertainties,
investors  are  urged  to  consider statements  labeled  with  the  terms
"believes,"  "belief," "expects," "intends," "plans" or "anticipates"  to
be uncertain and forward-looking.


Net Sales:

     During  the  twenty-six week period ended February  26,  2000  our
sales  increased  by  14.3% to $58.9 million  from  the  $51.6  million
reported for the same period in the prior year. Comparable store  sales
(sales  at  those stores open for the entire twenty-six week period  in
the current and prior year periods) increased by 11.8%.

     For  the  thirteen-week period ended February 26, 2000, our  sales
increased by 15.9% to $26.9 million from the $23.2 million for the same
period in the prior fiscal year. Comparable store sales (sales at those
stores  open  for  the  entire period in the  current  and  prior  year
periods) increased by 12.5% for the thirteen-week period ended February
26,  2000.  A  total  of 3 new stores were opened in the  thirteen-week
period as compared to none in the prior year period.

                (In thousands except for share amounts)

Cost of Sales:


Twenty-six Weeks Ended February 26, 2000:

    Cost  of  sales was $37,447 and decreased by 3.1% as a percentage  of
sales  to 63.5%, as compared to $34,351 or 66.6% as a percentage of sales
for  the same twenty-six week period in the prior year.  The decrease  of
3.1%  from  the  previous period as a percentage of  sales  is  primarily
attributable to:

    Merchandise cost decreases of .7% as a percentage of sales.

     Occupancy costs decreases of .9% as a percentage of sales due to a
  higher sales level and relatively fixed occupancy costs.

     Warehouse  expenses  reflecting a $659 reduction,  or  1.1%  as  a
  percentage  of  sales, due to a cost reduction  negotiated  with  the
  private company.


Thirteen-weeks Ended February 26, 2000:

          Cost  of  sales decreased by 2.9% as percentage of sales  for
the  thirteen-week period ended February 26, 2000 as  compared  to  the
same  period  in  the prior year.  The decrease in  cost  of  sales  is
primarily   attributable  to  merchandise  cost  reductions   of   1.2%
(including  freight  cost  reductions  of  .5%)  and  occupancy   costs
reductions as a percentage of sales by .9%, due to higher sales volume.
Warehouse expenses for the thirteen-week period reflect a reduction  of
$204  (.6% as a percentage of sales) due to a cost reduction negotiated
with the private company.

                (In thousands except for share amounts)

Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses:

     For  the  twenty-six week period ended February 26, 2000  selling,
general and administrative expenses were $19,825 (33.6% as a percentage
of  sales) as compared to $18,415 (35.7% as a percentage of sales)  for
the same period last year.

     For  the  thirteen-week period ended February  26,  2000  selling,
general  and administrative expenses were $9,018 (33.5% as a percentage
of  sales)  as compared to $8,529 (36.7% as a percentage of sales)  for
the same thirteen-week period last year.

     The  most significant reason for the decrease in selling,  general
and  administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was the ability
to  spread  relatively  fixed costs, such as base  salaries,  over  the
higher sales volumes.

     Another  significant decreases in expense for the twenty-six  week
and thirteen-week periods was lower telephone cost ($110 for the twenty-
six weeks and $85 for the thirteen-weeks) due to the implementation  of
aggressive programs to reduce the number of phone lines and the use  of
phone   lines  for  multiple  purposes  (voice,  facsimile   and   data
communications).

        Included  in the costs for the thirteen-weeks ended February  26,
2000  is  $90 worth of expenses associated with the opening of three  new
stores. These new stores generated only $7 in sales in the quarter due to
their recent store opening dates.

       Net income for the thirteen week period ended February 26, 2000 was
$228 or $.04 basic profit per share compared to a net loss of ($1,467) or
($0.26)  basic profit per share for the same period in the  prior  fiscal
year.  For  the twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 2000, net income  was
$1,107  or $.19 basic profit per share compared to a net loss of ($2,093)
or ($0.37) basic profit per share in the prior year fiscal period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

     At  February  26,  2000,  we  had  an  aggregate  working  capital
deficiency of $(6,929) compared to a deficiency of $(8,036)  at  August
28, 1999 and had available cash and cash equivalents of $6,333 compared
to  $6,907 at August 28, 1999.  The increase in working capital is  due
to  our positive results from operations over the last twenty-six  week
period.

      We  continue  to fund the operations of certain  of  our  limited
partnership  licensees whose amounts are included in  our  consolidated
financial  statements  and which we refer to  in  this  report  as  our
"LP's", some of which continue to generate operating losses.  Any  such
losses have been consolidated in our consolidated financial statements.
It is our intention to continue to fund these operations in the future.
Our receivables from the private company, the unconsolidated licensees,
and  Southeastern Florida Holding Corp. had been fully reserved for  in
prior  years.   However,  there  can be no  assurance  that  the  total
reserved  amount of receivables of $6,654 as of February 26, 2000  will
be  collected.  As previously mentioned in the notes to  the  financial
statements, we acquired the stock of South Florida Holding  Company  on
March 23, 2000 and will consolidate its results in future reports.

      Starting in 1995, the private company and we entered into  offset
agreements that permit us to offset our current monthly obligations  to
each  other in excess of $1,000 of credit extended by us to the private
company. Additionally, such agreements, the private company in November
1995   agreed  to  assume  certain  liabilities  owed  to  us  by   the
unconsolidated licensees and Southeastern Florida Holding  Corp.  Based
on the payment terms of these offset agreements, current obligations of
the private company and the unconsolidated licensees as of February 26,
2000 have been paid.

                (In thousands except for share amounts)




           In  March  1996, we executed a Credit and Security Agreement
with  our  principal  supplier, Klaussner Furniture  Industries,  Inc.,
which  extended the payment terms for merchandise shipped from 60  days
to  81 days.  Since the second quarter of the past fiscal year, we have
not  exceeded these 60-day payment terms by more than 14  days.  As  of
February  26, 2000, there were no amounts owed to Klaussner which  were
over  60 days.  On December 11, 1997, the Credit and Security Agreement
was  modified to include a late fee of .67% per month for  invoices  we
pay  beyond  the normal 60 day terms.  This provision became  effective
commencing  with the month of January 1998.  As part of the Credit  and
Security Agreement, we granted a security interest in all of our assets
including  the  collateral assignment of our leasehold  interests,  our
trademarks  and  a licensee agreement to operate our  business  in  the
event of our default.

           For the twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 2000 we opened 7
new   stores,  had  no  store  closings  and  spent  $369  for  capital
expenditures.    We    currently   anticipate   capital    expenditures
approximating  $950 during the balance of fiscal 2000  to  support  the
opening of new stores. A portion of our store openings may be funded by
Klaussner  pursuant  to an agreement, entered into  in  December  1999,
pursuant  to which Klaussner agreed, subject to certain conditions,  to
lend  us $150 per new store for up to 10 new stores. Each loan will  be
evidenced by a three-year note, bearing interest at the LIBOR plus  3%.
The  notes  are  subject  to acceleration under  certain  circumstances
including  closing of the stores funded by the loan or  if  we  do  not
purchase  at  least 50% of our upholstered furniture by  dollar  volume
from Klaussner. In addition, Klaussner will be entitled to a premium on
the cost of furniture purchased from it by us for sale to customers  of
the stores funded by Klaussner.  To date we have not borrowed any funds
from Klaussner under this arrangement.

           We anticipate continued positive operating cash flow through
the  end  of fiscal 2000.  In the opinion of management, this  positive
cash  flow  will  adequately fund operations during the current  fiscal
year.
