                            JAN BELL MARKETING, INC.
                 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 28, 1995 and October 30, 1994 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)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for those periods.  Results of the thirteen and thirty-nine week
periods ended October 28, 1995 and October 30, 1994 are not necessarily
indicative of annual results because of the seasonality of the Company's
business.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior consolidated
financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

         The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended January 28,
1995.

B.  Agreement with Sam's Wholesale Club

         The Company operates an exclusive leased department at all existing
and future domestic and Puerto Rican Sam's Wholesale Club ("Sam's") locations
under an agreement which expires February 1, 2001.  The Company pays Sam's a
tenancy fee of 9% of net sales.  During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks
ended October 28, 1995, approximately 92% and 91% respectively of the Company's
net sales were from Sam's customers and for the foreseeable future it is
expected that the substantial portion of net sales will be generated through
this agreement. Accordingly, the Company is dependent on Sam's to conduct its
business and the loss of the leased department arrangement with Sam's would
have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.

C.  Inventories:

         Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                  (continued)


D.  Income Taxes

         The Company's provision (benefit)for income taxes for 1995 and 1994 is
related to the operations of foreign affiliates. Federal and state tax benefits
have not been recognized for the domestic loss for 1995 and 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.  Financing Arrangements

         On May 31, 1995, the Company entered into an amended and restated
senior note agreement.  At closing, the Company repaid $8.5 million in
principal amount of the notes.  The notes (as amended, the "amended notes")
mature on February 1, 1998, are secured and bear interest for the period (a)
from closing to January 31, 1997, at an annual rate of 12.5% and (b) from
February 1, 1997 to maturity, at an annual rate of 16%.  Two principal payments
in the amounts of $9 million and $10 million, respectively, are payable on
February 1, 1996 and February 1, 1997 with a final payment of $7.5 million due
February 1, 1998.  The Company paid the noteholders a fee of $500,000 in
connection with this agreement.

         On May 31, 1995 the Company also finalized a Working Capital Facility
with GBFC, Inc.  (an affiliate of Gordon Brothers, Inc.) and Foothill Capital
Corporation which provides for a $30 million secured revolving bank credit
facility.  Availability under the Working Capital Facility is determined based
upon a percentage formula applied to inventory and accounts receivable.  The
Working Capital Facility terminates on May 31, 1997 and bears interest at an
annual rate of The First National Bank of Boston's base rate plus 1.5%.  The
Company is required to pay a fee of $450,000 annually to the lenders and an
administration fee of $11,000 monthly.

         The Company's liability under the amended notes is unconditionally
guaranteed by all of its material direct and indirect 51% (or greater)
subsidiaries.  The liability under the Working Capital Facility is
unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries.  Substantially
all of the Company's assets are subject to a blanket lien in accordance with
the agreements related to the amended notes and Working Capital Facility.  An
intercreditor agreement among the lenders provides that their respective
security interests in such collateral are subject to certain relative
priorities.

                                  (continued)


         Further, the Company granted to the noteholders warrants (the
"noteholder warrants") to purchase 1,732,520 shares of the Company's common
stock at an initial purchase price per share of $2.25.  The noteholder warrants
vest as follows:  20% on May 31, 1995, 20% on February 2, 1996, 30% on
February 2, 1997 and 30% on July 31, 1997 if any obligations under the amended
notes remain outstanding on such respective dates.  Any vested noteholder
warrants expire on May 1, 2005.  In connection with the Working Capital
Facility, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 234,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at exercise prices ranging from $3.25 to $4.00 per
share.  The estimated fair value of the warrants granted to the noteholders and
Working Capital Facility Lenders has been recorded as a deferred financing
cost, included in other assets, and as an addition to paid in capital.

         The agreements related to the amended notes and the Working Capital
Facility contain covenants which require the Company to maintain financial
ratios related to earnings, working capital, inventory turnover, trade payables
and tangible net worth, limit capital expenditures and the incurrence of
additional debt, and prohibit payment of dividends.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company operates an exclusive leased department at all existing
and future domestic and Puerto Rican Sam's Wholesale Club ("Sam's") locations
under an agreement which expires February 1, 2001.  During the thirteen and
thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995, approximately 92% and 91% of the
Company's net sales were from Sam's customers and  for the foreseeable future
it is expected that the substantial portion of net sales will be generated
through this agreement.

         Prior to 1993, the Company operated principally as a jewelry, watch
and fragrance wholesaler to the warehouse membership club industry.  Following
the Company's transition to retailing as a leased department operator at Sam's
in the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recognized the need for additional
retail management expertise.  In Fiscal 1994, new Board members were recruited
from department and specialty store senior executives, who in turn hired a new
C.E.O.  New management then began addressing the Company's strategic direction.

         In late 1994 as part of the Fiscal 1995 planning process, management
and the new Board reviewed the Fiscal 1994 results of all lines of business and
their attendant cost structures.  This process resulted in the following
decisions.

         First, the Company's domestic manufacturing operations engaged in the
manufacturing of fixtures for the Company's retail locations and various gem
and gold products were closed.

         Second, staffing levels were reduced at the Company's headquarters,
other operational expenses were reduced and merchandising programs were
designed to better manage retail sales, gross profit and the replenishment
function.

         Third, management addressed the Company's wholesale watch division,
which had evolved into a low end watch business with sourcing in the parallel
markets and which contributed disproportionately to expense.  With no perceived
opportunity to improve the performance of this division, management closed the
wholesale watch division, other than selected sales, and continued balancing of
inventory.

         Results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended
October 28, 1995 continue to reflect the implementation of these decisions.

         Net sales were $46.2 million and $151.7 million for the thirteen and
thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 compared to $68.6 million and $191.7
million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1994.  The
decline in sales in Fiscal 1995 reflects primarily the closing of the

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


wholesale division as well as the reduction in business through the Mexican
operations due to the peso devaluation.  Net sales in the retail locations  for
the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 were $42.7 million
and $132.2 million compared to $43.3 million and $136.5 million for the
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1994.

         Gross profit was $10.3 million or 22.4% of net sales for the thirteen
weeks ended October 28, 1995 compared to $10.6 million or 15.5% of net sales
for the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 1994.  Gross profit was $28.8 million
or 19.0% of net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 compared
to $30.4 million or 15.9% of net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended October
30, 1994.  The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is
primarily attributable to margin improvements that are being recognized in the
Company's retail locations.

         Management recognizes that significant continued improvement in both
sales and margins must be achieved for the Company to return to profitability.

         Store and warehouse operating and selling expenses were $8.2 million
and $24.3 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995
compared to $9.5 million and $27.7 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine
weeks ended October 30, 1994.  The decrease is reflective of field staff
reductions and warehouse operating expense savings as a result of the decision
to close the Company's wholesale watch and domestic manufacturing divisions.

         General and administrative expenses were $4.1 million and $12.6
million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 compared
to $4.1 million and $13.6 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended
October 30, 1994.  In the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1994, the Company
recorded a reduction to general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million
reflecting a change in estimate of certain transition related liabilities.  The
decrease in general and administrative expenses, after considering this 1994
reduction is primarily reflective of expense reductions implemented as a result
of corporate staff reductions and the elimination of general and administrative
expenses associated with the Company's wholesale watch and domestic
manufacturing division.

         The decrease in amortization expense to $284,000 and $846,000 for the
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 from $528,000 and
$1,762,000 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1994 is
primarily a result of the write off at January 28, 1995 of $23.8 million of
goodwill associated with the Company's 1990 purchase of the minority interest
of Big Ben '90.

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

         The instability of the Mexican peso during Fiscal 1995 resulted in a
currency exchange gain of $37,000 and a loss of $599,000 for the thirteen and
thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995.

         On November 9, 1995, the Company opened its first "Jewelry Depot", a
5,000 square foot value-oriented jewelry and luxury gift store in Framingham,
Massachusetts.  Subsequently, the Company also opened two "Jewelry Depot
Outlets", a 1,500 square foot facility in Vero Beach, Florida and an 800 square
foot store in Worcester, Massachusetts.  The "Jewelry Depot" and "Jewelry Depot
Outlets" each were opened as prototypes for potential stand-alone jewelry
operations that the Company will evaluate during the holiday selling season as
possible long term sources of additional revenue growth.  Until such time,
there can be no measurement of these operations' impact on operating results or
future capital requirements.

         The retail jewelry business is seasonal in nature with a higher
proportion of sales and significant portion of earnings generated during the
fourth quarter holiday selling season.  As a result, operating results for the
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of results of operations for the entire fiscal year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of October 28, 1995, cash and cash equivalents totalled $9.3
million, a  decrease of $18.9 million from January 28, 1995 which resulted
primarily from cash used in operations and a debt repayment of senior notes of
$8.5 million.  The Company had short-term working capital facility borrowings
outstanding of $4.5 million as of October 28, 1995.

         The Company's working capital requirements are directly related to the
amount of inventory required to support its retail operations.  During the
thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995, the inventory increase of $23.7
million reflects a build up in anticipation of holiday sales.

         For the remainder of Fiscal 1995, based on discussions with Sam's, the
Company expects a very limited increase in the number of leased departments it
operates, and consequently does not foresee a need for a significant increase
in retail inventory.  Capital expenditures for Fiscal 1995 are projected not to
exceed $2 million.

         The Company's business is highly seasonal, with seasonal working
capital needs peaking in October and November before the holiday selling
season.

         On May 31, 1995, the Company entered into an amended and restated

principal amount of the notes.  The notes (as amended, the "amended notes")

February 1, 1997 to maturity, at an annual rate of 16%.  Two principal payments
in the amounts of $9 million and $10 million, respectively, are payable on
February 1, 1996 and February 1, 1997 with a final payment of $7.5 million due
February 1, 1998.  The Company paid the noteholders a fee of $500,000 in
connection with this agreement.

         On May 31, 1995 the Company also finalized a Working Capital Facility
with GBFC, Inc. (an affiliate of Gordon Brothers, Inc.) and Foothill Capital
Corporation which provides for a $30 million secured revolving bank credit
facility. Availability under the Working Capital Facility is determined based
upon a percentage formula applied to inventory and accounts receivable.  The

that the Company's future operating results will be sufficient to meet the
requirements of the foregoing covenants.

         The Company believes that its cash on hand, projected cash from
operations and availability under the Working Capital facility will be
sufficient to meet its debt service requirements and anticipated working
capital and capital expenditure needs for the remainder of Fiscal 1995.  There
can be no assurance that the Company's future operating results will be
sufficient to sustain such debt service and working capital needs.
