                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)



A.  Unaudited Financial Statements

         The Company's financial statements for the thirteen week period ended
May 1, 1994 and three month period ended March 31, 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 week period ended May 1, 1994 and three
month period ended March 31, 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
May 1, 1994 was approximately $6.4 million.  The Company pays Sam's a tenancy
fee of 9 1/4% 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.  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.  Final
payment of this amount is due during second quarter 1994.

C.  Inventories:

         Inventories are summarized as follows:

D.  Income Taxes

        The Company's provision for income taxes for the thirteen weeks ended
May 1, 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 weeks ended May 1, 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 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 ended March 31, 1993 was not restated to a fiscal 13 weeks ended 
May 2, 1993 quarter.

                    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 May 1, 1994, 425 jewelry departments.

         In February 1994, the Company determined to change its fiscal 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
ended March 31, 1993 was not restated to a fiscal 13 weeks ended May 2, 1993
quarter.

         Net sales were $63.0 million for the quarter ended May 1, 1994 and
gross profit was $8.7 million or 13.8% 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 first quarter as it
continues to reduce and rebalance its inventory position.  Management
anticipates these pressures will continue during the second and third quarters
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 $13.9 million in
1994 compared to $6.7 million in 1993.  The increase is primarily reflective of
the payroll and other costs related to operating the Sam's leased departments.

         Net loss for the quarter was $6.0 million or $0.23 per share compared
to a net loss of $10.2 million or $0.40 per share for the quarter ended March
31, 1993.  Excluding the effect of the new agreement with Sam's, the Company 
would have reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1993 net income of $1.2 
million or $0.05 per share.

         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 first quarter are not
necessary indicative of results of operations for the entire fiscal year.

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


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of May 1, 1994, cash and cash equivalents totalled $834,000 and the
Company had short-term borrowings of $8.1 million outstanding under its
revolving credit facility.  Also, the Company owed Sam's approximately $18.6
million, of which $9.5 million is for inventory repurchased from Sam's and $9.1
million, which is included in accounts payable, is for certain third-party
merchandise acquired by the Company from Sam's.  Final payment of these amounts
is due during the second quarter of 1994.

         Inventory decreased $6.4 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.  In March 1994, the Company's $50 million, two year unsecured
revolving bank credit facility, which was due to expire in August 1994 and
bears interest at the bank's prime rate or two percent over LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered credit) or the applicable secondary CD rate, was renewed for
$25 million and extended to February 1, 1995.  In addition, the Company is
seeking other banking resources for additional credit facilities.  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.  The Company
has obtained waivers and amendments for less restrictive levels related to
covenants with which the Company did not comply as a result of the 1993 loss
and the ongoing transition from being primarily a wholesale operation to a
retail operation.

         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.
