NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Finlay
Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant"), and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Finlay Fine Jewelry Corporation ("Finlay Jewelry"), have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. References to "Finlay" mean collectively, the Company,
Finlay Jewelry and all predecessor businesses.In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of November 2, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows for
the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 and November 2,
1996. Due to the seasonal nature of the business, results for interim periods
are not indicative of annual results. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with that of the audited
consolidated financial statements as of February 3, 1996 referred to below.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 1996
("Form 10-K"), previously filed.
Finlay's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. References
to 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 relate to the fiscal years ended or ending January
29, 1994, January 28, 1995, February 3, 1996 and February 1, 1997, respectively.
Each of the fiscal years includes fifty-two weeks except 1995, which includes
fifty-three weeks. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform
with the current year presentation.
NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Finlay is a retailer of fine jewelry products and the leading operator of
leased fine jewelry departments in department stores in the United States and
France. Finlay also operates leased fine jewelry departments in the United
Kingdom and Germany. A significant portion of Finlay's revenues are generated in
the fourth quarter due to the seasonality of the retail industry. Approximately
71% of Finlay's domestic sales in 1995 were from operations in two major
department store groups of which 48% represents Finlay's domestic sales from one
department store group.
NOTE 3 - MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES
Merchandise inventories consisted of the following:

FINLAY ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES (continued)
The LIFO method had the effect of decreasing income (loss) before income
taxes for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 1995 and November 2, 1996 by
$206,000 and $208,000, respectively. The effect of applying the LIFO method for
the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 and November 2, 1996 was to
decrease income (loss) before income taxes by $582,000 and $599,000,
respectively. Finlay determines its LIFO inventory value by utilizing selected
producer price indices published for jewelry and watches by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Approximately $199,079,000 and $214,832,000 at February 3, 1996 and
November 2, 1996, respectively, of merchandise received on consignment has been
excluded from Merchandise inventories and Accounts payable-trade in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The cost to Finlay of gold merchandise sold on consignment, which typically
varies with the price of gold, is not fixed until the sale is reported to the
vendor following the sale of the merchandise. Finlay frequently enters into
futures contracts, based upon the anticipated sales of gold product, such as
options or forwards, to hedge against the risk arising from those payment
arrangements. Changes in the market value of futures contracts are accounted for
as an addition to or reduction from the inventory cost. At October 28, 1995 and
November 2, 1996, the gain/loss on open futures contracts was not material.
In August 1995, Finlay Jewelry consummated a gold consignment agreement
(the "Gold Consignment Agreement") with Rhode Island Hospital Trust National
Bank ("RIHT"), which matures on February 28, 1998. The Gold Consignment
Agreement enables Finlay Jewelry to pay for merchandise by providing gold, or
otherwise making payment, to certain vendors who currently supply Finlay with
merchandise on consignment. While the merchandise involved remains consigned,
the consignor and title to the gold content of the merchandise changes from the
vendors to RIHT. Finlay Jewelry can obtain, pursuant to the Gold Consignment
Agreement, up to the lesser of (i) 85,000 fine troy ounces or (ii) $25,000,000
worth of gold, subject to a formula as prescribed by the Gold Consignment
Agreement. At November 2, 1996, amounts outstanding under the Gold Consignment
Agreement totalled 46,409 fine troy ounces, valued at approximately $17.5
million. For financial statement purposes, the consigned gold is not included in
merchandise inventories on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and
therefore no related liability has been recorded.
NOTE 4 - LEASE AGREEMENTS
Finlay conducts substantially all of its operations as leased departments
in department stores. All of these leases, as well as rentals for office space
and equipment, are accounted for as operating leases. A substantial number of
such operating leases expire on various dates through 2008. All references
herein to leased departments refer to departments operated pursuant to license
agreements or the arrangements with host department stores.
Substantially all of the leases provide that the title to certain fixed
assets of Finlay transfers upon termination of the leases, and that Finlay will
receive the undepreciated value of such fixed assets from the lessor in the
event such transfers occur. The values of such fixed assets are recorded at the
inception of the lease arrangement and are reflected in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In many cases, Finlay is subject to limitations under its lease agreements
with host department stores which prohibit Finlay from operating departments for
other store groups within a certain geographical radius of the host store.

NOTE 5 - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On April 6, 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 2,500,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $14.00 per
share. An additional 115,000 shares were sold by non-management selling
stockholders. Net proceeds from the Offering after deducting the underwriting
discount of $2,300,000 and estimated expenses of $2,500,000 incurred in
connection with the Offering, were $30,200,000. The net proceeds were used to
repurchase $6,103,000 accreted balance of the Company's 12% Senior Discount
Debentures due 2005 (the "Debentures") at a price equal to $5,789,000, or
approximately 95% of the accreted amount. The balance of the net proceeds were
used to reduce a portion of the outstanding indebtedness ("Revolving Credit
Reduction") under Finlay's $135,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility") with General Electric Capital Corporation ("G.E.
Capital"), which was accounted for as a capital contribution to Finlay Jewelry.
Immediately prior to completion of the Offering, the holders of the
Company's 10% Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock")
exchanged all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock with the Company
for 2,581,784 shares of Common Stock (the "Series C Exchange"). For purposes of
the Series C Exchange, the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock was (i) valued
at its liquidation value of $30,000,000 plus $6,145,000 of accrued dividends
through the date of completion of the Series C Exchange, paid in kind at a
quarterly rate of 2.5% and (ii) exchanged for Common Stock at the initial public
offering price of $14.00 per

NOTE 5 -INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (continued)
share. In conjunction with the Series C Exchange, a $10,000,000
nonrecurring noncash charge representing the difference between the liquidation
value and the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock was recorded,
decreasing net income (loss) applicable to common shares in the first quarter of
1995.
G.E. Capital agreed to reduce the interest rate on the Revolving Credit
Facility by 0.5% concurrent with the Offering. Finlay and G.E. Capital amended
the Revolving Credit Facility in March, 1995 pursuant to which the Company
became a co-obligor with Finlay Jewelry under the Revolving Credit Facility with
respect to a portion of the borrowings thereunder. Borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility at November 2, 1996 were $99,979,000 and are included
in the Notes payable caption on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In connection with and prior to the Offering and the related transactions,
the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's capital stock to
authorize 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. On March
7, 1995, the Company effected a two-for-three stock combination of its issued
and outstanding Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Stockholders'
equity has been retroactively restated to reflect the impact of the Reverse
Stock Split.
NOTE 6 - UNAUDITED PRO FORMA AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following table presents the calculation of pro forma earnings per
share data for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995. The pro forma
consolidated financial information gives effect to the Offering and related
transactions as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the
period. The pro forma consolidated financial information also excludes proceeds
of $5.0 million from a life insurance policy Finlay maintained on a senior
executive, which was recorded in the second quarter of 1995. Net income (loss)
was derived by adjusting the historical amounts to reflect interest expense on
the adjusted debt structure and the related income tax effects thereon.

Thirteen Weeks Ended November 2, 1996 Compared with Thirteen Weeks Ended
October 28, 1995
Sales. Sales for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996 increased $4.1
million, or 3.1%, over the comparable period for 1995. Comparable department
sales (departments open for the same months during
11
<PAGE>
comparable periods) increased 3.6%. Sales decreased by $0.7 million as a
result of the net effect of new store openings offset by store closings, as well
as the timing of such department openings and closings. During the thirteen
weeks ended November 2, 1996, Finlay opened 33 departments and closed six
departments. The openings included 17 departments operated by Societe Nouvelle
d'Achat de Bijouterie - S.O.N.A.B ("Sonab"), a French subsidiary. Included in
the Sonab openings were 15 departments in Monoprix S.A., a department store in
France ("Monoprix"), one department in Debenhams, P.L.C., a department store
chain in the United Kingdom ("Debenhams"), and one department in the new
Galeries Lafayette store in Berlin, Germany. The remaining 16 departments were
opened within existing domestic store groups. The six department closings were
also within existing domestic host store groups.
Gross margin. Gross margin for the period increased by $1.6 million but, as
a percentage of sales, gross margin decreased 0.4% as a result of management's
efforts to increase market penetration and market share through a more
aggressive pricing strategy.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a percentage of sales decreased 1.2%. SG&A
increased $0.3 million or 0.4% due to additional expenses, primarily payroll and
lease fees associated with increased sales volume. Although these expenses
increased, the growth was at a slower rate than sales.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by
$0.4 million, reflecting $17.9 million in capital expenditures for the most
recent 12 months, offset by the effect of certain assets becoming fully
depreciated. The increase in fixed assets was due to the addition of new
departments and the renovation of existing departments.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense increased by $0.5 million
reflecting an increase in average borrowings ($306.6 million for the period in
1996 compared to $285.6 million for the comparable period in 1995) partially
offset by a lower weighted average interest rate (10.1% for the period in 1996
compared to 10.3% for the comparable period in 1995).
Provision (credit) for income taxes. The income tax provision for the 1995
and 1996 periods reflects the effective tax rate of 41.5%.
Net income (loss). The net loss of $2.6 million for the 1996 period was
$0.1 million lower than the net loss for the comparable period in 1995 as a
result of the factors discussed above.
Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended November 2, 1996 Compared with Thirty-Nine Weeks
Ended October 28, 1995
Sales. Sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 increased
$23.8 million, or 6.3%, over the comparable period for 1995. Comparable
department sales increased 6.3%. Management attributes this increase in
comparable department sales primarily to intensified promotion of key items and
best value programs as well as joint marketing efforts coordinated with several
host store groups. Sales from the operation of net new departments (departments
not included in comparable department sales) was not material. During the
thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996, Finlay opened 70 departments and
closed 60 departments. There were 31 openings within existing store groups. In
addition, Finlay opened 13 departments in the Hecht's division of The May
Department Stores Company ("May") as a result of May's acquisition of the
Strawbridge's stores, 19 departments in Monoprix and seven departments in
Debenhams. The closings included 29 departments in the Emporium/Weinstock's
chain, which was acquired by Federated Department Stores, Inc. and will operate
under the Macy's name, and eight departments in The Jones Store Inc., which the
lessor decided to consolidate with one lessee. The remaining 23 departments
closed within existing host store groups.
Gross margin. Gross margin for the period increased by $10.4 million but,
as a percentage of sales, gross margin decreased 0.5% as a result of
management's efforts to increase market penetration and market share through a
more aggressive pricing strategy.
12
<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A as a percentage of sales
decreased 1.4%. SG&A increased $5.9 million, or 3.2%, due to additional
expenses, primarily payroll and lease fees associated with increased sales
volume. Although these expenses grew, the growth was at a slower rate than
sales.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by
$0.9 million, reflecting $17.9 million in capital expenditures for the most
recent 12 months, offset by the effect of certain assets becoming fully
depreciated. The increase in fixed assets was due to the addition of new
departments and the renovation of existing departments.
Proceeds from Life Insurance. The Company received, during the second
quarter of 1995, proceeds of $5.0 million from a life insurance policy
maintained on a senior executive.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense increased by $1.1 million
reflecting an increase in average borrowings ($286.4 million for the period in
1996 compared to $274.0 million for the comparable period in 1995) partially
offset by a lower weighted average interest rate (10.2% for the period in 1996
compared to 10.5% for the comparable period in 1995).
Provision (credit) for income taxes. The income tax provision for the 1995
and 1996 periods reflects the effective tax rate of 41.5%.
Net income (loss). The net loss of $8.6 million for the 1996 period was
$3.6 million higher than the net loss for the comparable period in 1995 as a
result of the factors discussed above. Excluding the effect of the receipt of
life insurance proceeds in 1995, the net loss of $8.6 million in 1996 compares
to a net loss of $10.0 million in 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Finlay's capital requirements are primarily for funding working capital for
new departments and for working capital growth of existing departments and, to a
lesser extent, capital expenditures for opening new departments and renovating
existing departments. In addition, future working capital requirements would be
increased by further international expansion. For the thirty-nine weeks ended
October 28, 1995 and November 2, 1996, capital expenditures totalled $9.5
million and $12.5 million, respectively. Capital expenditures are estimated to
be approximately $17.0 million in 1996. Capital expenditures are limited by the
terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Finlay's operations substantially preclude consumer receivables and
approximately 50% of Finlay's domestic merchandise is carried on consignment.
Accordingly, Finlay believes that relatively modest levels of working capital
are required in comparison to many other retailers. The Company's working
capital balance was $59.4 million at November 2, 1996, a decrease of $7.0
million from February 3, 1996. The decrease resulted from capital expenditures
and the impact of the interim net loss exclusive of depreciation and
amortization. Based on the seasonal nature of Finlay's business, working capital
levels typically can be expected to decrease on an interim basis during the
first three quarters of a year. See "- Seasonality."
The seasonality of Finlay's business causes working capital requirements to
reach their highest level in the months of October and November in anticipation
of the holiday shopping season. Accordingly, Finlay experiences seasonal cash
needs as inventory levels peak. The Revolving Credit Facility with G.E. Capital
provides Finlay with a line of credit of up to $135.0 million which is available
to finance seasonal cash and other working capital needs. The Revolving Credit
Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at Finlay's option, (i) the Index
Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus l.0% or (ii) adjusted
LIBOR plus 2.0%. Pursuant to the Debenture indenture, the Company has pledged
all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Finlay Jewelry for
the benefit of the Debenture holders. Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility,
Finlay Jewelry has pledged or caused to be pledged all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock (or other equity
13
<PAGE>
securities) of each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including
Sonab Holdings, Inc., Sonab International, Inc. and Sonab) for the benefit of
the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Finlay is required to reduce the balance of the Revolving Credit Facility
in each year to $10.0 million or less for a 20 consecutive day period, and
immediately thereafter to zero for an additional 10 consecutive days (the
"Balance Reduction Requirement"). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility
at November 2, 1996 were $100.0 million compared to a zero balance at February
3, 1996, pursuant to the Balance Reduction Requirement, and $77.9 million at
October 28, 1995. The average amounts outstanding were $73.5 million and $79.6
million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 and November 2, 1996,
respectively. The maximum amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility
during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 1996 was $110.0 million.
Simultaneously with the acquisition of Sonab on October 28, 1994, G.E.
Capital agreed to provide additional financing by increasing the Revolving
Credit Facility from $110.0 million to $135.0 million. The Company believes
that, with the increased borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility
resulting from the Revolving Credit Reduction, it has sufficient liquidity to
meet Sonab's anticipated working capital requirements. In addition, the Company
believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated working capital
requirements relating to (i) the operation of the outlet stores, (ii) the
operation of the seven departments in Debenhams and (iii) the planned opening in
the fourth quarter of 1996 of 10 additional departments in Monoprix and the
operation of 15 such departments, which opened during the third quarter of 1996.
Finlay's long-term needs for external financing will depend on its rate of
growth, the level of internally generated funds and the ability to continue
obtaining substantial amounts of merchandise on advantageous terms, including
consignment arrangements with its vendors. For 1995, Finlay had an average
balance of consignment merchandise of $208.5 million from over 200 vendors as
compared to an average balance of $194.2 million in 1994. As of November 2,
1996, $214.8 million of consignment merchandise was on hand as compared to
$199.1 million at February 3, 1996 and $220.1 million at October 28, 1995.
On April 13, 1995, the Company received net proceeds of $30.2 million as a
result of the Offering of 2,500,000 shares of its Common Stock. Of the net
proceeds, $5.8 million was utilized to repurchase $6.1 million accreted balance
of Debentures. The balance of the net proceeds were contributed to Finlay
Jewelry by reducing a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the
Revolving Credit Facility.
A substantial amount of operating cash flow of Finlay is or will be
required to pay, directly or indirectly, interest with respect to the 10 5/8%
Senior Notes due 2003 of Finlay Jewelry (the "Notes") and the Debentures and
amounts due under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of November 2, 1996, the
Company's outstanding borrowings were $309.2 million, which included a $74.2
million balance under the Debentures, a $135.0 million balance under the Notes
and a $100.0 million balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Debentures
do not pay cash interest until November 1, 1998.
In August 1995, Finlay Jewelry consummated the Gold Consignment Agreement
with RIHT. The Gold Consignment Agreement enables Finlay Jewelry to pay for
merchandise by providing gold, or otherwise making payment, to certain vendors.
Finlay Jewelry can obtain, pursuant to the Gold Consignment Agreement, up to the
lesser of (i) 85,000 fine troy ounces or (ii) $25,000,000 worth of gold, subject
to a formula as prescribed by the Gold Consignment Agreement. At November 2,
1996, amounts outstanding under the Gold Consignment Agreement totalled 46,409
fine troy ounces, valued at approximately $17.5 million.
Finlay believes that, based upon current operations, anticipated growth,
availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and the anticipated
availability of additional debt financing, Finlay Jewelry will, for the
foreseeable future, be able to meet its debt service and anticipated working
capital obligations, and to make distributions to
14
<PAGE>
the Company sufficient to permit the Company to meet its debt service
obligations and to pay certain other expenses as they come due. No assurances,
however, can be given that Finlay Jewelry's current level of operating results
will continue or improve or that Finlay Jewelry's income from operations will
continue to be sufficient to permit Finlay Jewelry and the Company to meet their
debt service and other obligations. The Revolving Credit Facility, the Note
indenture and the Gold Consignment Agreement restrict distributions from Finlay
Jewelry to the Company to 0.25% of Finlay Jewelry's net sales for the preceding
fiscal year. The amounts required to satisfy the aggregate of Finlay Jewelry's
interest expense and required amortization payments totalled $12.9 million and
$19.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 1995 and November 2,
1996, respectively. As a result of the closing date for the quarter under the
retail calendar, the 1996 period includes two semiannual interest payments with
respect to the Notes of $7.2 million each, whereas the comparable period in 1995
includes only one payment of $7.2 million.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
restricts utilization of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") after an
ownership change exceeding 50%. As a result of certain recapitalization
transactions in 1993, a change in ownership of the Company exceeding 50%
occurred within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code. Similar restrictions
apply to other carryforwards. Consequently, there is a material limitation on
the Company's annual utilization of its NOLs and other carryforwards which
requires a deferral or loss of the utilization of such NOLs or other
carryforwards. The Company had, at October 31, 1995 (the Company's tax year
end), a NOL for tax purposes of approximately $16.0 million which is subject to
an annual limit of approximately $2.0 million per year. For financial reporting
purposes, no NOLs existed as of February 3, 1996.
Seasonality
Finlay's business is highly seasonal, with peak sales occurring during the
fourth quarter of each year, which includes the Christmas season
(November/December). The fourth quarter accounted for an average of 42% of
Finlay's annual sales and approximately 92% of its income from operations
(excluding nonrecurring charges) for 1993, 1994 and 1995. Accordingly, the
results for any of the first three quarters of a year, taken individually or in
the aggregate, are not indicative of annual results. Generally, Finlay's
operations during the first three quarters of a year are financed by increased
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Inflation
The effect of inflation on Finlay's results of operations has not been
material in the periods discussed.
