                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)



A.  Unaudited Financial Statements

         The Company's financial statements for the thirteen and thirty nine
week periods ended October 30, 1994 and three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1993, have not been audited by certified public accountants but,
in the opinion of management of the Company, reflect all adjustments (which
include only normal recurring accruals, except as discussed in Note B)
necessary to present fairly such information of those periods.  Results of the
thirteen and thirty nine week periods ended October 30, 1994 and three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of annual
results because of the seasonality of the Company's business.

         The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the annual financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 1993.

B.       Agreement with Sam's Wholesale Club

         In May 1993, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement")
to operate an exclusive leased department at all existing and future Sam's
Wholesale Club ("Sam's") locations through February 1, 1999.  In March 1994,
the agreement was extended to February 1, 2001.  Under the terms of the
Agreement, the Company repurchased Sam's existing inventory which included
goods Sam's had previously purchased from the Company as well as from other
vendors.  As consideration for entering into the Agreement, the Company paid to
Sam's a one-time fee of $7.0 million, which is included in Other Assets and is
being amortized over the term of the Agreement.  The unamortized amount as of
October 30, 1994 was approximately $6.0 million.  The Company pays Sam's a
tenancy fee of 9% of net sales.

         As a result of this new Agreement with Sam's in 1993, the Company
recorded a sales reversal of $99.7 million for the amount of inventory
previously sold by Jan Bell to Sam's which became subject to repurchase.  In
addition, cost of sales was reduced by $79.7 million resulting in a $20.0
million one-time charge to pre-tax earnings.  The Company had originally
estimated the amount of inventory subject to repurchase at $77.1 million and
the related cost of sales at $59.0 million which resulted in an $18.1 million
one-time charge to pre-tax earnings that was recorded in the first quarter of
1993.

                                  (continued)


         As of December 31, 1993,  the Company owed Sam's approximately $42.5
million of which approximately $33.4 million was for inventory repurchased from
Sam's and approximately $9.1 million which is included in accounts payable for
certain third party merchandise acquired by the Company from Sam's.  At October
30, 1994, the Company owed $1.9 million which has been subsequently paid.
  
         In the quarter ended September 30, 1993, the Company incurred $805,000
of costs related to commencing operations under the agreement.

C.  Inventories:

         Inventories are summarized as follows:

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (continued)

D.  Income Taxes

         The Company's provision for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended
October 30, 1994 is related to the earnings of foreign subsidiaries.  Federal 
and state tax benefits have not been recognized for the domestic loss for the
thirteen weeks ended October 30, 1994 due to the fact that all loss carrybacks
have been fully utilized and, under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes," the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

E.  Change in Fiscal Year

         In February 1994, the Company determined to change its fiscal year
from a calendar year ending on December 31 to a retail 52/53 week fiscal year
ending on the last Sunday of each January.  The first such fiscal year began on

                            JAN BELL MARKETING, INC.
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (continued)




         As a result of the significant change in the nature of the Company's
business from being primarily a wholesale operation during most of 1993 to
primarily a retail operation during 1994, comparison with historical operating
results is not considered to be meaningful nor practicable. Accordingly, the
1993 quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1993 were not restated to
fiscal thirteen and thirty nine week periods ended October 31, 1993.

F.       Financing Arrangements

         For the thirteen and thirty nine week periods ended October 30, 1994,
the Company was not in compliance with the earnings covenant contained in its
senior note agreement.  The Company entered into a forbearance agreement with
its senior noteholders regarding such covenant.  Since the Company anticipates
noncompliance with this covenant at year end, the forbearance agreement
contemplates restructuring discussions to be concluded prior to February 28,
1995.  Under the circumstances, generally accepted accounting principles
require that the senior notes be classified as a current liability.

         As of October 30, 1994, the Company's short term borrowings were made
under a two year $50 million unsecured revolving bank credit facility with
NationsBank which bore interest at the bank's prime rate plus two percent or
two and one half percent over LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or the
applicable secondary CD rate.  This credit facility was finalized in September
1994.

Item 2
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In May 1993, the Company commenced its transition to a
fully-integrated retailer in the wholesale club industry by entering into an
agreement with Sam's Wholesale Club ("Sam's") to operate an exclusive leased
jewelry department at all existing and future Sam's locations.  The operational
rollout began on September 21, 1993 and was completed on October 28, 1993,
during which time the Company took over the operations of the then existing 331
jewelry departments at Sam's.  Including the locations acquired by Sam's from
Pace, which the Company had previously operated under an agreement with Pace,
the Company operated at October 30, 1994, 437 jewelry departments.

         In February 1994, the Company determined to change its year from a
calendar year ending December 31 to a retail 52/53 week fiscal year ending on
the last Sunday of each January (See Note E to the Financial Statements).  As a
result of the significant change in the nature of the Company's business from
being primarily a wholesale operation during most of 1993 to primarily a retail
operation during 1994, comparison with historical operating results is not
considered to be meaningful nor practicable.  Accordingly, financial
information for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1993 were not
restated to fiscal thirteen and thirty nine weeks ended October 31, 1993
period.

         Net sales were $68.6 million for the quarter ended October 30, 1994
and gross profit was $10.2 million or 14.9% of net sales.  Inventory at
December 31, 1993 was and continues to be in excess of desired levels, and the
Company experienced both sales and margin pressure during the third quarter as
it continues to reduce and rebalance its inventory position.  Management
anticipates these pressures will continue during the fourth quarter of 1994 and
recognizes that a significant improvement in both sales and margins must be
achieved for the Company to return to profitability.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.7 million and
$40.1 million for the thirteen and thirty nine weeks periods ended October 31,
1994 respectively compared to $9.0 million and $23.8 million for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1993, respectively.  The increase is
primarily reflective of the payroll and other costs related to operating the
Sam's leased departments.

         Net loss for the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 1994 was $4.5
million or $0.18 per share compared to a net loss of $2.9 million or $0.11 per
share for the quarter ended September 30, 1993.  Net loss for the thirty nine
weeks ended October 30, 1994 was $15.4 million or $.60 per share compared to a
net loss of $12.9 million or $.50 per share for the nine months ended September
30, 1993.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (continued)

         The retail jewelry business is seasonal in nature with a higher
proportion of sales and earnings generated during the fourth quarter Christmas
selling season.  As a result, operating results for the interim periods are not
necessary indicative of results of operations for the entire fiscal year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of October 30, 1994, cash and cash equivalents totalled $2.2
million and the Company had short-term borrowings of $23.0 million outstanding
under its revolving credit facility.  Also, the Company owed Sam's
approximately $1.9 million, which is included in accounts payable, for certain
third-party merchandise acquired by the Company from Sam's.  Final payment of
this amount was made subsequent to October 30, 1994.

         Inventory increased $4.6 million from year-end 1993 primarily
reflecting the build-up in inventory required for the Christmas selling season.
Management is committed to reducing and rebalancing its inventory until desired
levels are achieved.

         The Company has historically financed its working capital requirements
through a combination of proceeds of public offerings, internally generated
cash, short-term borrowings under bank lines of credit and a senior note
placement.  As of October 30, 1994, the Company's short-term borrowings were
made under a two year $50 million unsecured revolving bank credit facility with
NationsBank which bore interest at the bank's prime rate plus two percent or
two and one half percent over LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or the
applicable secondary CD rate.  This credit facility was finalized in September,
1994.  In October 1992, the Company finalized a $35 million unsecured private
placement of senior notes with an interest rate of 6.99%.  Semi-annual interest
payments on the notes began in April 1993 and annual principal payments of $6.5
million commence in April 1996 with a final $9.0 million principal payment due
in October 1999.

         Each of the foregoing agreements is subject to various financial
ratios, operating results and covenants and restricts dividend payments.  For
the thirteen and thirty nine week periods ended October 30, 1994, the Company
was not in compliance with the earnings covenant contained in its senior note
agreement.  The Company entered into a forbearance agreement with its senior
noteholders regarding such covenant.  Since the Company anticipates
noncompliance with this covenant at year end, the forbearance agreement
contemplates restructuring discussions to be concluded prior to February 28,
1995.  Under the circumstances generally accepted accounting principles
require that the senior notes be classified as a current liability.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (continued)


         Due to current operating results, the Company is evaluating the
recoverability of the costs in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill)
resulting from the purchase of the joint venture interest Big Ben Ninety in
1991.  If the Company determines that a portion or all is not recoverable, a
write down would be necessary.

         Funds will continue to be required to facilitate the Company's growth
and funding is anticipated to come from operations, bank lines of credit or the
capital markets and the Company's asset management program, which is primarily
focused on reducing the working capital requirements of the Company by
eliminating excess inventory.

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

         Based upon results of operations through October 30, 1994, the Company
is not in compliance with an earnings covenant on the outstanding $35 million
of unsecured Senior notes issued in October 1992.
         The Company entered into a forbearance agreement with its senior
noteholders regarding such covenant.  Since the Company anticipates
noncompliance with this covenant at year end, the forbearance agreement
contemplates restructuring discussions to be concluded prior to February 28,
1995.
