                NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)



A.  Unaudited Financial Statements

         The Company's financial statements for the thirteen and twenty six
week periods ended July 31, 1994 and the three and six month periods ended June
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
twenty six week periods ended July 31, 1994 and three and six month periods
ended June 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 ended 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
July 31, 1994 was approximately $6.2 million.  The Company pays Sam's a tenancy
fee of 9% of net sales.

         As a result of this new Agreement with Sam's, 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.  Of these amounts, 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 was included in accounts payable,
for certain third party merchandise acquired by the Company from Sam's.  As of
July 31, 1994 the Company still owed Sam's 4.1 million of the amount in
accounts payable for certain third party merchandise acquired by the Company
from Sam's.  Final payment of this amount is due during third quarter 1994.

         For the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 31, 1994, the
Company recorded a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses of
$1.4 million reflecting a change in estimate of certain transition related
liabilities.

C.  Inventories:

         Inventories are summarized as follows:


                                            July 31,              December 31,

D.  Income Taxes

         The Company's provision for income taxes for the thirteen and twenty
six weeks ended July 31, 1994 is related to the earnings of foreign affiliates.
Federal and state tax benefits have not been recognized for the domestic loss
for the thirteen and twenty six weeks ended July 31, 1994 due to the fact that
all potential 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
January 31, 1994 and will end on January 29, 1995.  The following is condensed
information regarding the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
the 30 day transition period of January 1, 1994 to January 30, 1994 (in
thousands, except per share data):

         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 six months ended June 30, 1993 was not restated to a fiscal
thirteen and twenty six weeks ended August 1, 1993.

                    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 434 jewelry departments at July 31, 1994

         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, the 1993 quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1993 were not restated to a fiscal thirteen and
twenty six week periods ended August 1, 1993.

         Net sales were $60 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 1994 
and gross profit was $8.5 million or 14.1% 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 second quarter as it
continues to reduce and rebalance its inventory position.  Management
anticipates these pressures will continue during the third 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 $12.5 million and
$26.4 million for the thirteen and twenty six week periods ended July 31, 1994,
respectively, compared to $8.1 million and $14.8 million for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1993, respectively.  The increase is primarily
reflective of the payroll and other costs related to operating the Sam's leased
departments.  Also, for the thirteen and twenty six weeks ended July 31, 1994,
the Company recorded a reduction to selling, general and administrative
expenses of $1.4 million reflecting a change in estimate of certain transition 
related liabilities.  Such income is recorded as a reduction to selling, 
general and administrative expenses.

         Net loss for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 1994 was $4.9 million
or $0.19 per share compared to net income of $181,000 or $0.01 per
share for the quarter ended June 30, 1993.  Net loss for the twenty six weeks
ended July 31, 1994 was $10.9 million or $0.43 per share compared to a net loss
of $10.0 million or $0.39 per share for the six months ended June 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 
necessarily indicative of results of operations for the entire fiscal year.


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of July 31, 1994, cash and cash equivalents totalled $4.5 million
and the Company had short-term borrowings of $9.2 million outstanding under its
revolving credit facility.  Also, the Company owed Sam's approximately $4.1
million, which is included in accounts payable, for certain third-party
merchandise acquired by the Company from Sam's.  Final payment of these amounts
is due during the third quarter of 1994.

         Inventory decreased $16.1 million from year-end 1993 reflecting
management's commitment to reduce and rebalance its inventory until the 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 July 31, 1994, the Company's short-term borrowings were made
under a $25 million unsecured revolving bank credit facility with SunBank which
bore interest at the bank's prime rate or two percent over LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rate) or the applicable secondary CD rate.  In August 1994,
the Company signed a commitment letter with NationsBank for a two year $50
million unsecured line of credit.  The Company anticipates that all
documentation regarding this facility will be finalized by the end of September
1994 which facility will replace the existing Sun Bank line.  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 agreements are subject to various financial ratios, operating
results and covenants and restricts dividend payments.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (continued)


         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.
