NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 27, 1997
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- -----------------------------
LITIGATION
----------
The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, which
arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the
disposition of these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's financial position or results of operations. (See PART II. OTHER
INFORMATION--Item 1. Legal Proceedings.)
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
- --------------------------------------
The Company's faux jewelry chain, Impostors, historically has realized
lower sales during the first three quarters which has resulted in the Company
incurring losses during those quarters. To this end, the Company generated an
operating loss during the three months ended April 27, 1997 of $(17,692) as
compared to an operating loss of $(174,347) for the three months ended April
28, 1996.
The Company historically realizes approximately twenty percent (20%) of
its revenues during December as a result of the Christmas season. If the
Company's sales are substantially below seasonal expectations during December,
the Company's annual results will be adversely affected.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PREMIER CONCEPTS, INC.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
RETAIL FISCAL YEAR
- ------------------
The method of financial reporting is a fifty-two to fifty-three (52-53)
week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in January of each year. Likewise,
reporting quarters end on the Sunday closest to the calendar end of April, July
and October. Each reporting quarter contains thirteen (13) weeks of
operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - APRIL 27, 1997 COMPARED TO JANUARY 26, 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 25, 1997 the Company successfully completed a secondary public
offering in which the Company sold 1,100,00 units, each unit consisting of one
share of Common Stock and one Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant (Warrant).
Two Warrants entitle the holder to purchase on share of Common Stock at a price
of $5.00 during the three year period ending April 21, 2000. The Company
realized proceeds of approximately $3.3 million, after costs of the offering,
of which $1,120,000 was used to retire Convertible Promissory Notes
(Convertible Notes) issued on December 27, 1997 as part of a bridge financing
completed to repurchase shares of Common Stock from certain shareholders and to
provide working capital. As such, the Company's cash position increased
$2,256,572 from $211,575 at January 26, 1997, to $2,468,147 at April 27, 1997.
At April 25, 1997, marketable securities consisted of the Company's
holdings in Global Casinos, Inc. Management intends to liquidate its remaining
securities holdings as market conditions dictate.
During the quarter ended April 27, 1997, merchandise inventories increased
$87,273, or approximately 5% from $1,749,643 at January 26, 1997 to $1,836,916
at April 27, 1997. This increase reflects merchandise purchased for a new
store opened in Las Vegas, Nevada, and two new stores opened in the Miami,
Florida area in February, 1997.
As a result of the foregoing, current assets increased by $2,421,665, from
$2,086,567 at January 26, 1997, to $4,508,232 at April 27, 1997.
During the quarter ended April 27, 1997, the Company invested $240,803 in
property and equipment. These investments consisted of leasehold improvements
in connection with the relocation of the Company's store in the Valley Fair
Shopping Center in Santa Clara, California, and new stores opened at the Rio
Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Miami International Mall in
Miami, Florida, and at Beach Place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Therefore,
property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, increased $151,246,
from $2,033,939 at January 26, 1997, to $2,185,185 at April 27, 1997.
The Company's trademark assets, representing the goodwill of the Impostors
trademark and other intellectual property was acquired as part of the Company's
acquisition of Impostors in 1994. This asset, whose amortized book value was
$84,733 at April 27, 1997, is being amortized over a 10-year period.
Deferred offering costs of $425,423 at January 26, 1997 increased by
$164,791 prior to completion of the secondary public offering noted above.
These costs, totaling $590,214 were netted against the offering proceeds upon
completion of the offering on April 25, 1997.
As of April 27, 1997, the Company had total outstanding liabilities of
$2,768,759 compared to $3,814,371 at January 26, 1997, a decrease of
$1,045,612, which reflects the retirement of the Convertible Notes and other
long term debt totaling approximately $1.15 million. Current liabilities
increased $696,430, from $1,918,508 at January 26, 1997 to $2,614,938 at April
27, 1997, primarily due to the reclassification of a $635,000 bank note that
matures in February, 1998. The note carries interest at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum and is payable in monthly interest only payments of $5,300.
The Company is in discussions with the bank and various financial institutions
in Colorado, and expects to restructure the note as part of a banking services
consolidation in the second or third quarter of its current fiscal year. Due to
the secondary financing, working capital increased by $1,725,235, from $168,059
at January 26, 1997, to $1,893,294 at April 27, 1997.
The amount borrowed from related parties equaled $74,420 at April 27,
1997, and remained unchanged from January 26, 1997. Current notes payable
increased from $263,312 at January 26, 1997, to $877,053 at April 27, 1997, an
increase of $613,471, primarily as a result of the reclassification of the bank
note as discussed above.
The Company's long-term debt, net of current portion, at April 27, 1997
was $31,647 compared to $1,792,624 at January 26, 1997, a decrease of
approximately $1.76 million, the result of the payments of the Convertible
Notes and reclassification of the bank note, as discussed above. The remainder
of long-term debt represents notes that were part of the Impostors retail chain
acquisition in February, 1994.
Accounts payable increased by $23,998 or approximately 2%, from $1,153,495
at January 26, 1997 to $1,177,493 at April 27, 1997. Other accrued liabilities
increased by $58,619 from $427,281 at January 26, 1997 to $485,972 at April 27,
1997, or approximately 13%. Approximately $577,000 of the accounts payable and
accrued liabilities represent expenses incurred in the ordinary course of
business in connection with the operation of the Company's retail chain.
Approximately $600,000 of accounts payable and other accrued liabilities
represent unpaid construction costs incurred in connection with the new stores
opened during the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended January 26, 1997 and in
the first quarter of the current year, and unpaid expenses associated with the
public offering as discussed above. Management expects to settle new store
construction and offering cost liabilities during the second quarter of its
current fiscal year.
As a result of the Company's net loss for the quarter of $99,216, the
accumulated deficit increased from $1,361,507 at January 26, 1997 to a deficit
of $1,460,723 at April 27, 1997. As discussed above, on April 25, 1997, the
Company successfully completed a secondary offering of 1,100,00 units
consisting of one share of Common Stock and two Warrants, which after costs of
the offering, increased stockholders' equity by $3,270,886. As a result, total
stockholders' equity increased from $997,403 at January 26, 1997, to $4,169,073
at April 27, 1997.
Net cash used in operating activities for the period ended April 27, 1997
was $51,698, compared with cash provided by operating activities of $12,358 for
the three months ended April 28, 1996, which primarily resulted from increased
inventory balances for the Company's three new stores opened during the
quarter.
Cash used in investing activities of $240,803, represents the Company's
investments in stores as discussed above. This compares with net cash used by
investing activities of $76,949 during the three months ended April 28, 1996,
and represents an increase of $163,854.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended April
27, 1997, was $2,549,073, primarily representing the completion of the
secondary offering, as discussed throughout this document. This compares to
net cash used by financing activities of $58,566 for the three months ended
April 28, 1996, representing payments on notes payable.
The foregoing resulted in an increase in the Company's cash position of
$2,256,572, from $211,575 at April 28, 1996, to $2,468,147 at April 27, 1997.
The Company has executed leases to open five additional locations over the
next six months. These new stores will be located in California, Florida, New
York, and in Washington, D.C. Other retail locations are currently being
evaluated, although to date no decisions regarding additional new locations
have been made. Depending on location and size, the opening of a new retail
location represents an aggregate capital requirement of approximately $75,000-
$150,000, including the lease expenses, fixtures, equipment and inventory.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 27, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED APRIL 28, 1996
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's total revenues for the three months ended April 27, 1997
were $2,796,359 as compared to $1,873,553 for the comparable period ended April
28, 1996, an increase of $922,806, or 49%. The increase is due to the addition
of nine new locations since August 30, 1996, and a comparable same store sales
increase of 9.2% in the quarter. Comparable same store sales were
approximately $2,043,000 for the three months ended April 27, 1997 as compared
to approximately $1,871,000 for the comparable period ended April 28, 1996, an
increase of approximately $172,000 which management attributes to its continued
focus to on the merchandise quality, improved stock levels in key items, and
the remodel of several of its retail locations. Sales from wholesale and non
store retail sales of $4,110 and $3,571 are included in total revenues for the
three months ended April 27, 1997 and April 28, 1996, respectively.
For the three months ended April 27, 1997, costs of goods sold was
$793,921 and the gross margin was $2,002,438, or approximately 71.8%. For the
three months ended April 28, 1996, costs of goods sold was $570,510 and the
gross margin was $1,303,043, or approximately 69.7%. The Company attributes
its improvement in gross margin percentage to a refinement of its promotional
activities, and buying opportunities offering lower merchandise costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,927,474 for the three
months ended April 27, 1997, compared to $1,412,107 for the period ended April
28, 1996, or 68.9% and 75.4% of revenues, respectively. The majority of these
expenses were comprised of personnel expenses, which amounted to $911,421, and
$663,920 for the three months ended April 27, 1997, and April 28, 1996,
respectively, and occupancy costs of $669,478, and $474,961 respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $92,656 for the three months ended
April 27, 1997, and $65,283 for the three months ended April 28, 1996.
Included in operating expenses are corporate overhead expenses of $323,411
for the three months ended April 27, 1997, and $333,614 for the three months
ended April 28, 1996, a reduction of approximately $10,000, or 3%. Management
attributes the decrease to its continued efforts to utilize its technological
resources and control administrative costs, while focusing its financial
resources on improving existing stores and opening new retail locations.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's loss from operations for the
three months ended April 27, 1997 was $17,692, as compared with a loss from
operations for the three months ended April 28, 1996 of $174,347, representing
an improvement of approximately $157,000.
Interest expense was $90,678 and $29,247 for the three months ended April
27, 1997, and April 28, 1996, respectively. For the three months ended April
27, 1997, approximately $66,500 is attributed to interest paid and deferred
financing costs written off upon retirement of the Convertible Notes.
Subsequent to April 27, 1997, management negotiated and retired approximately
$130,000 of current notes payable. Management has no plans to seek additional
debt financing and expects interest expense to decrease significantly in the
second quarter.
The Company's unrealized gain on investments of $43,308 for the period
ended April 28, 1996, relates to the Company's holdings of common stock in
Global Casinos, Inc.(Global). Since April 28, 1996, the Company liquidated
most of its holdings of Global common stock and at April 27, 1997, the
Company's holdings of Global common stock were minor. The valuation of the
Company's investments at April 27, 1997, reflects an unchanged market valuation
from January 26, 1997.
For the three months ended April 27, 1997, the Company reported other
income of $6,204, consisting almost entirely of recognized license fees
associated with extension agreements that will allow licensees to use the
Impostors trademark. The license agreements have a one year term expiring in
January, 1998, and are renewable at the Company's option. For the three months
ended April 28, 1996, the Company reported other income of $18,284, which
consists of a settlement with a former franchisee for approximately $10,000 in
cash and inventory, and approximately $7,000 in license fees.
Income from discontinued operations of $9,577, and income tax benefit of
$5,000 for the three months ended April 28, 1996 represented negotiated
settlements with several of the Company's creditors that had resulted from the
Company's business prior to the acquisition of Impostors.
Based on the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss for the three
months ended April 27, 1997 of $99,216, and a net loss available to common
shareholders of $116,971, which translates to a net loss per share of $(0.20)
based on 585,839 weighted average shares outstanding. This compares with a
reported net loss for the three months ended April 28, 1996 of $127,340, or
$(0.29) per share, based on 434,147 weighted average shares outstanding as of
that date.
Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, or other demands,
commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are
reasonably likely to result in, a material impact on the income and expenses of
the Company.<PAGE>

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is currently involved in the following legal proceedings:
PREMIER CONCEPTS, INC. V. WILLIAM T. AND MARTHA A. JACKLING,
------------------------------------------------------------
Civil Action No. 7599-94 pending in the State Court of New York, County
of Monroe. This action has also been brought by the Company to collect
approximately $80,000 due and owing on open account from former
franchisees of AFJ. In the case, the Company has also asserted against
the Defendants' claims of trademark infringement, unfair competition
and breach of contract in connection with the Defendants' continued use
of the Company's registered trademark "Impostors" without legal
authorization.
SEC INVESTIGATION.
------------------
During 1995, the Company received requests for information from the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") related to an
investigation begun by the SEC during 1994 into various matters,
including certain transactions in securities by a former officer and
director of the Company. The Company has fully complied with all
requests. The Company has been informed that the SEC staff intends to
recommend to the Commission that an action be brought against certain
persons including two of the Company's shareholders and two of its
former directors. Management does not believe that this investigation
of the activities of these persons will have a direct impact on the
Company or its business operations.
