Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Financial Presentation
The attached condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As a result, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading and that
the information furnished reflects all material adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly its results for the interim
periods reported and that all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 1997 and 10-K/A dated
June 17, 1997.
Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31st of each
year. The current fiscal year ends on Saturday, January 31, 1998. Each fiscal
quarter contains 13 weeks.
Note 2. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the periods as adjusted to take into account the
effect of outstanding options to purchase common stock unless the effect of
including such options is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of common
shares and equivalents outstanding were 6,181,000 and 6,124,000 for the quarters
ended November 1, 1997 and October 26, 1996, respectively. The weighted average
number of common shares and equivalents outstanding were 6,143,000 and 6,093,000
for the 9 month periods ended November 1, 1997 and October 26, 1996,
respectively. The amount of common stock equivalents outstanding was computed
using the treasury stock method.
Note 3. Line of Credit
Effective August 29, 1997, the Company entered into a loan and security
agreement (the "Line of Credit") with General Electric Capital Corporation
("GECC"). The Line of Credit provids for direct borrowing and letters of credit,
the aggregate of which cannot exceed the lessor of 60% of eligible inventory and
outstanding letters of credit, or $10 million. Letters of credit are limited to
a maximum of $5 million. A first lien is granted to GECC on all the Company's
assets (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). In conjunction with the Private
Placement discussed below, the Line of Credit was amended ("Second Amendment")
to allow for the change in control resulting from the financing (see Note 5
Subsequent Events).
Note 4. Federal Income Tax Refund Reserve
During fiscal 1997. the Company filed a refund claim with the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS") resulting from the carry back of certain expenses of its
bankruptcy proceeding. The tentative refund of approximately $2,355,000, which
is net of fees and expenses, was received in October 1996. The tentative refund
is subject to audit by the IRS, which is currently in process. Should the IRS
ultimately determine that the carry back of some or all of the expenses was
inappropriate, the Company may be called upon to repay a portion of the
tentative refund, with interest.
Page 5
<PAGE>
A reserve of $1,955,000 was established in the Company's financial statements
for the year ended February 1, 1997 related to the tentative refund.
Note 5. Subsequent Events
During December, 1997, the Company sold two series of newly issued preferred
stock in a Private Placement for $7,100,000. This financing was reported on Form
8-K, filed December 15, 1997.
The Series A Preferred Stock (which pays a dividend at the rate of 5%, payable
quarterly, from the date of closing), is redeemable and was issued for
$4,600,000. The Series B Preferred Stock (which pays a dividend at the rate of
8%, payable quarterly beginning 90 days after the second anniversary of the
closing) is convertible and was issued for $2,500,000. The Series B Stock is
convertible into shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in certain
events). As of the date of this Report, the shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock would represent, if issued, 86.25% of
the issued and outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis.
The Company received net proceeds of approximately $5,900,000 after fees and
expenses of this financing. Fees and expenses include a banking fee of $355,000,
together with $40,000 of expense reimbursement payable to the purchasers of the
Series A and Series B Preferred Stock; a break-up fee payable to a second
potential group of investors of $300,000, together with expenses of up to
$75,000; an investment banking fee payable to the Company's investment advisors
of $275,000; and $145,000 of legal and other professional fees.
The Series A Preferred Stock will be recorded as mezzanine financing and the
Series B Preferred Stock will be recorded as additional equity during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1998. The Series A and Series B stock will be recorded net of
the direct cost of the Private Placement of approximately $815,000. These direct
costs will be allocated pro rata between the Series A and Series B stock. The
direct costs charged to the Series A stock will be amotized over five years and
amortized directly against retained earnings. The dividends associated with the
Series A stock will also be charged directly against retained earnings as they
are paid. The break-up fee and related expenses of approximately $375,000 will
be charged to expense during the fourth quarter.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company's Plan of Reorganization,
confirmed in November, 1995 (the "Plan"), was modified December 1, 1997, by the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court, to allow for payment of approximately $1,500,000 in cash
and issuance of $1,000,000 in value of the Company's common stock (1,889,763
shares) in full satisfaction of the approximately $2,500,000 payment due
creditors by January 1, 1998, under the Plan. This payment will result in the
recording of an extraordinary gain of approximately $450,000, net of applicable
income taxes, during the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.

of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
The information in this Report may contain "forward looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21 E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and
uncertainties related to the Company's operations. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, matters discussed in Item 5 B 1 "Risk Factors"
from the Company's Report on Form 8-K, filed December 15, 1997.
Overview and Recent Developments
Jay Jacobs, Inc. ("Jay Jacobs" or the "Company") was incorporated in 1959 and
operates a chain of mall-based specialty apparel stores offering contemporary
men's and women's clothing and accessories at reasonable prices. At the date of
this Report the Company operates 110 stores in 19 states. The greatest
concentration of stores is in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
In fiscal 1995, the Company became insolvent and filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. In November 1995 the Bankruptcy
Court approved the Company's Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"). The Plan
included installation of a new management team, development of a new merchandise
concept, implementation of strict cost controls and closure of 120 unprofitable
stores. The Plan also called for the full payment of all bankruptcy claims.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company's unsecured creditors received a partial
payment in January 1996, but further scheduled payments were delayed by
inadequate cash flow. In December 1997, the Company received a $7.1 million
capital infusion from the sale of two series of preferred stock. In connection
with this financing, the Plan was amended to permit the Company to satisfy its
debt to its pre-petition unsecured creditors with cash payments totaling
approximately $1.5 million and the issuance of 1,889,763 shares of common stock.
The cash was paid and stock issued in December 1997. Allowed Priority Tax Claims
are being paid on a quarterly basis, the last such payment is due in January
1999.
The Series A Preferred Stock ($4.6 million) is redeemable and pays a quarterly
dividend at the rate of 5% per annum. The Series B Preferred Stock ($2.5
million) is convertible into common stock representing 86.25% of the
post-conversion, fully diluted common stock and pays a quarterly dividend at the
rate of 8% per annum commencing December 3, 1999.
In August 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a commercial lender
under which up to $10 million may be borrowed to finance eligible inventory and
to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit. As of November 1, 1997, the
Company had borrowed approximately $8.4 million representing advances of all but
$300,000 of the full availability, as defined, under the Line of Credit. These
advances permitted the Company to stock its remaining stores at near full
inventory levels for the 1997 Christmas holiday sales season. A portion of the
outstanding debt was reduced by payments out of the proceeds of the Private
Placement and the Company expects further reductions in the outstanding balance
following the Christmas season. However, the Company expects to continue to draw
significantly on its Line of Credit to fund working capital needs throughout
1998.
As a result of the fundamental changes instituted by the new management, the
Company believes that it is well positioned to be a successful competitor in its
market. However, prior to August 1997, the Company operated at a level of
capitalization that was inadequate to permit management to take full advantage
of opportunities available to it. For example, the Company has been unable to
maintain a global purchasing strategy to take full advantage of volume
purchasing opportunities that could have reduced the cost of goods. While
management believes that it will continue to be required to manage cash
carefully, it
Pae 7
<PAGE>
believes that the recent financings and the payment in full of the Company's
pre-petition unsecured creditors will enable it to improve operating efficiency.
As a result of the financings described above, the Company expects that the
increase in interest expense reflected in the results for the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 will continue in future quarters. In addition, dividend obligations
on the preferred stock, as well as the convertibility of the Series B Preferred
Stock, will affect earnings per share of common stock in future periods.
Seasonality
The Company's business, like that of most retailers, is subject to seasonal
influences. A significant portion of the Company's net sales and profits are
realized during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the
Christmas holiday sales season. Quarterly results may fluctuate materially
depending upon, among other things, increases or decreases in comparable store
sales, adverse weather conditions, and shifts in timing of certain holidays and
promotions. Results of any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain consolidated
financial data as a percentage of net sales:

</TABLE>
Quarter Ended November 1, 1997 Compared to Quarter Ended October 26, 1996
Net sales increased by $1,759,000 or 13 %, in the quarter ended November 1, 1997
as compared to the same period a year earlier. This increase was primarily due
to a comparable store sales increase of 29% (compared to a decline of 16% during
the same quarter last year) partially offset by store closures representing
sales of $1,667,000. Comparable store sales increased primarily as a result of
the increased acceptance by its customers of the new merchandise concept
implemented in the fall of 1995 and as a result of increased inventory which was
procured with proceeds from the new Line of Credit (see "Liquidity and Capital
Resources"). During the third quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company opened one
store and closed two stores for a total of 113 stores in operation at the end of
the quarter. The Company operated 16 fewer stores at the beginning of the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 (114) than it did at the beginning of the third quarter
of fiscal 1997 (130).
Page 8
<PAGE>
Cost of sales, buying and occupancy costs decreased by 7.7% as a percentage of
sales. This decrease was primarily due to higher initial margins on inventory,
reduced expenditures for promotional activity, and greater leverage on fixed
occupancy costs as a result of the increase in comparable store sales when
compared to the corresponding fiscal 1997 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 5.4% as a percentage
of sales, primarily as a result of cost control measures implemented over the
past twelve months and greater leverage on fixed expenses as a result of the
increase in comparable store sales during the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
Interest expense as a percent of sales was 0.8% in the third quarter of fiscal
1998 compared to 0.4% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. This
increase resulted from greater availability and borrowings under the new Line of
Credit (see Liquidity and Capital Resources) in support of higher in-store
inventories for the 1997 Christmas holiday sales season than was possible for
the comparable 1996 holiday season.
The Company had a profit of $44,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 1998 or
$0.01 per share compared to a loss of $1,261,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
1997 ( $0.21 per share). Improved comparable store sales and gross margins,
together with lower operating expenses accounted for the improvement in profit.
The costs associated with each new store opening approximate $100,000 including
primarily inventory and fixtures. Pre-opening costs of approximately $10,000 are
expensed as incurred. Costs associated with closing the two stores during the
quarter were immaterial and expensed as incurred.
Nine Months Ended November 1, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended October 26,
1996
Net sales increased $585,000 or 1.3% in the nine months ended November 1, 1997
as compared to the corresponding prior fiscal period. This increase was
primarily due to improved comparable store sales which increased 17% compared to
a decline of 7% during the same period in the prior fiscal year. Comparable
store sales increased primarily as a result of the increased acceptance by its
customers of the new merchandise concept implemented in the fall of 1995 and
increased inventory which was procured with proceeds from the new Line of Credit
(see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). The Company operated 16 fewer stores as
of November 1, 1997 than it did one year earlier.
Cost of sales, buying and occupancy costs decreased by 5.0% as a percentage of
net sales. This decrease was primarily due to higher initial margins on
inventory, reduced expenditures for promotional activity as compared to last
year and greater leverage on fixed occupancy costs as a result of the increase
in comparable store sales when compared to the corresponding fiscal 1997 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 3.1% as a percentage
of sales, primarily as a result of cost control measures implemented over the
past twelve months and greater leverage on fixed expenses as a result of the
increase in comparable store sales during the first nine months of fiscal 1998.
Interest expense as a percent of sales was 0.9% for the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 compared to interest expense of 0.5% in the first nine months of
fiscal 1997. This increase resulted from greater availability and borrowings
under the new Line of Credit (see Liquidity and Capital Resources) in support of
higher in-store inventories for the 1997 Christmas holiday sales season than was
possible for the comparable 1996 holiday season.
The Company incurred a loss of $635,000 during the first nine months of fiscal
1998, compared to a loss of $3,712,000 during the first nine months of fiscal
1997. The fiscal 1998 loss has decreased significantly due to improved
comparable store sales and gross margins together with a decrease in operating
expenses.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
- -------
The Company's principal needs for liquidity are to finance the purchase of
merchandise inventories, to fund operations and to fund the Company's store
closure and expansion plan.
During the nine months ended November 1, 1997, the Company's primary source of
liquidity was from borrowings under its secured, Line of Credit.
Net cash used for operations for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was
$5,248,000. This use of cash resulted primarily from an increase in inventory
($5,420,000) and from the operating loss during the first nine months of fiscal
1998 ($635,000), partially offset by the increase in accounts payable
($1,392,000). Property and equipment expenditures for the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 were $108,000. Property and equipment expenditures during the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 were $1,058,000 and resulted from new store openings,
store remodeling and store closures.
The Company had a working capital deficit of $2,579,000 at November 1, 1997
compared to a working capital deficit of, $2,786,000 at October 26, 1996. The
working capital deficit decreased $207,000 primarily due to the availability of
additional trade credit and receipt of a federal tax refund, which were used to
purchase additional inventory.
General Electric Capital Corporation Line of Credit
- ---------------------------------------------------
Jay Jacobs replaced the LaSalle facility, entered into in December, 1995, with a
Line of Credit with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") on August 29,
1997. As amended, effective December 5, 1997 ("Second Amendment"), the GECC Line
of Credit provides for borrowing and letters of credit, the aggregate of which
cannot exceed the lesser of 60% of eligible inventory, as defined, and
outstanding letters of credit, or $10 million. Letters of credit are limited to
a maximum of $5 million. A first lien is granted to GECC on all the Company's
assets. The Company must maintain a scheduled minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio, and may not declare or pay dividends or other distributions on account of
any equity interest in the Company, except dividends to be paid on Series A and
Series B Preferred Stock (see Note 5 Subsequent Events) until payment or
satisfaction in full of liabilities under the GECC Line of Credit and
termination of the financing agreement. Interest is charged at GECC's index rate
plus 3%. The Company is charged an annual fee of 0.375% of the unused credit
under this facility, normal audit fees, and a letter of credit fee of 1% per
annum on the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit outstanding.
On October 23, 1997, the Company amended ("First Amendment") its agreement with
GECC to temporarily increase the Company's borrowing capacity for seasonal
purposes, by $500,000. This increase must be re-paid with the completion of a
Cash Equity Contribution (as defined), or by December 19, 1997, whichever occurs
first.
As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company had $8,384,000 of
direct borrowing under the Line of Credit and no outstanding letters of credit.
Subsequent Events
- -----------------
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company closed on a Private Placement
with a group of investors, for a recapitalizaton of the Company (see Note 5
Subsequent Events). Effective December 5, 1997, the Company raised $ 7,100,000
by the sale of two newly issued series of preferred stock. The Series A
Preferred Stock ($4,600,000) is redeemable and has a quarterly dividend at the
rate of 5% per annum. The Series B Preferred Stock ($2,500,000) is convertible
and has a quarterly dividend at the rate of 8% per annum commencing December 3,
1999. The dividend for both series of preferred stock, if not redeemed or
converted, will increase to the rate of 20% per annum, upon the first quarterly
payment due subsequent
Page 10
<PAGE>
to the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the preferred stock. The Series B
Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock representing 86.25% of the
Company's common stock, following such conversion. The Company used these funds
for the modified payment to the Class 3 Unsecured Creditors (described below),
certain costs and expenses of the investment transaction, repayment of the
seasonal increase in Line of Credit availability, opening new stores during the
next fiscal year and for working capital.
Under the terms of the Company's Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (approved
by the Bankruptcy Court on November 16, 1995), the Unsecured Creditors received
a payment of 30% of the approved claims in January 1996. These creditors made an
election to receive either a second 30% payment in January, 1997, or a 15%
payment plus a note equal to 42% of the approved claim amount. The Company
entered into negotiations with the Post-confirmation Creditors Committee ( the
"PCC") to delay the January 1997 payment. On April 17, 1997, pursuant to an
agreement in principle between the PCC, and Jay Jacobs, founder and majority
shareholder of the Company (the "PCC Agreement"), the January 1997 payment to
the PCC was placed in abeyance. PCC members granted an initial moratorium,
subject to extension by the PCC until July 1, 1997, to resolve the 1997 payment.
An additional moratorium was granted until January 1, 1998. As a result of the
PCC agreement the Company accepted the resignation of four of its six directors
and reduced the size of its Board of Directors to five, three of which were
chosen by the PCC members.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Company arranged for a hearing with the
Bankruptcy court for the purpose of modifying the previously scheduled plan
payment. The proposed modification was to pay in lieu of the approximate $
2,500,000 cash payment, $ 1,500,000 in cash and $ 1,000,000 in value of the
Company's common stock, to be issued pro-rata to all holders of Class 3
Unsecured Creditors' Claims. The number of shares is based on the average
closing price of the Company's stock in the preceding 30 trading days prior to
closing of the investment transaction referenced above. Ballots were mailed to
all creditors who held allowed Class 3 claims. The deadline for balloting was
November 29, 1997. The voting resulted in acceptance of over 99% by those
voting. On December 1, 1997, the bankruptcy court approved the proposed
modification of the plan. The cash and stock were mailed to creditors on
December 15, 1997. The source of the funds for this payment will be from the
proceeds of the sales of preferred stock referenced above.
During the next twelve months, the Company is obligated to pay approximately
$238,000 to Allowed Priority Tax Claims.
At November 1, 1997 the Company had $123,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The
Company had approximately $313,000 of potential availability under its GECC Line
of Credit based on its borrowing base formula. In the opinion of management, the
net proceeds of the Private Placement, along with availability under the GECC
Line of Credit and anticipated cash flow from operations are adequate to enable
the Company to accomplish its plans for fiscal 1999.
Depending on the ultimate success of its business strategy, the Company may
continue to incur future losses, which could negatively affect working capital,
the extension of credit by the Company's suppliers and the Company's ability to
maintain compliance with its debt covenants, and the ability to raise additional
capital as required in the future.
