               SERVICE MERCHANDISE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

A.   The consolidated financial statements, except for the consolidated balance
     sheet as of December 31, 1995, have been prepared by the Company without
     audit.

     In management's opinion, the information and amounts furnished in this
     report reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
     considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position
     and results of operations for the interim periods presented.  Certain
     prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
     year's presentation.  These financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
     year ended December 31, 1995.

     The Company has historically incurred a net loss for the first half of the
     year due to the seasonality of its business.  The results of operations
     for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995 are not
     necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire fiscal year.

B.   The second quarter ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995 each contained 90
     selling days.  Year to date ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995 each
     contained 181 selling days.

C.   The net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net
     earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and common
     share equivalents outstanding.

D.   Cash payments for interest for the six periods ended June 30, 1996 and
     July 2, 1995 were $31.4 million and $35.4 million, respectively.  Cash
     payments for income taxes for the six periods ended June 30, 1996 and
     July 2, 1995 were $17.1 million and $29.9 million, respectively.  The
     Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased as part of its
     daily cash management activities to be cash equivalents.  Such investments
     are generally made for periods covering 1 to 30 days.

E.   The Company has available a Reducing Revolving Credit Facility.  The
     maximum commitment level for the facility reduces $25 million annually
     until reaching $475 million at December 31, 1998.  Currently, the maximum
     commitment level is $550 million.  The Reducing Revolving Credit Facility
     matures on June 8, 1999 and currently has an interest rate of LIBOR + 5/8%
     on the borrowed amount and a 3/8% facility fee on the entire committed
     amount. On May 23, 1996, the Company amended the existing Reducing
     Revolving Credit Facility to allow for increased operating flexibility in
     the future.  Short-term borrowings related to the Credit Facility were
     $190 million and $315.3 million as of June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995,
     respectively.

F.   Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial
     Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
     Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", and determined that
     no material impairment exists which would require recognition under the
     provisions of this standard.

               SERVICE MERCHANDISE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)

For comparative purposes, interim balance sheets are more meaningful when
compared to the balance sheets at the same point in time of the prior year.
Comparisons to balance sheets of the most recent fiscal year end may not be
meaningful due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The nature of the Company's business is highly seasonal.  Historically, sales
in the fourth quarter have been substantially higher than sales achieved in
each of the first three quarters of the fiscal year.  Thus expenses and, to a
greater extent, operating income vary greatly by quarter.  Caution, therefore,
is advised when appraising results for a period shorter than a full year, or
when comparing any period other than to the same period of the previous year.

SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS. SECOND QUARTER ENDED
JULY 2, 1995

NET SALES

Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $860.0 million compared to $864.9
million for the comparable quarter of 1995, representing a decrease of $4.9
million or 0.6%.  Comparable store sales decreased 1.2% in the quarter as
compared to the same quarter a year ago.  This decline in comparable store
sales for the quarter was essentially consistent between jewelry and hardlines.
At the end of the second quarter, Service Merchandise was operating 409 stores,
a net increase of 4 stores from a year ago.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin, after buying and occupancy expenses, for the second quarter of
1996 was $207.9 million, or 24.2% of net sales, compared to $214.3 million, or
24.8% of net sales, a year ago.  The decrease in gross margin dollars and rate
are the result of increased promotional and inventory clearance related sales
and increased transportation costs.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter were $178.2
million, or 20.7% of net sales, versus $177.3 million, or 20.5% of net sales,
in the comparable quarter a year ago.  This increase reflects slightly higher
employment costs offset primarily by a gain on the sale of property and
equipment.

and Results of Operations (Unaudited) (continued)

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased to $17.6 million in the quarter as compared to $19.6
million in the second quarter of 1995.  The decrease in interest expense is
primarily attributable to a decline in short-term borrowings resulting from
significantly lower inventory levels, as planned.

TAXES ON INCOME

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1.1 million and income tax
expense of $0.5 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 and July 2,
1995, respectively.  The effective tax rates for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
and July 2, 1995 were 38% and 39%, respectively.  For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995 the effective income tax rate was 38%.

SIX PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS. SIX PERIODS ENDED JULY 2, 1995

NET SALES

Net sales for the first half of 1996 were $1,575.6 million as compared to
$1,602.0 million for the first half of 1995, a decrease of 1.6%.  For the first
half of 1996, hardline comparable store sales decreased.  This decrease was less
significant in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter.  Sales early
in the year were impacted by the adverse weather conditions experienced in the
middle and eastern areas of the country and a reduction in advertising.  Jewelry
comparable store sales improved for the first half of 1996 over the same period
in 1995.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin, after taking into account buying and occupancy expenses, for the
six periods ended June 30, 1996 was $368.6 million, or 23.4% of net sales, as
compared to $383.6 million, or 23.9% of net sales, for the same period a year
ago.  The decline in gross margin dollars and rate results primarily from
increased transportation costs and to a lesser extent occupancy costs.
Merchandise margin rates decreased slightly for the first half of 1996 primarily
due to increased promotional and inventory clearance related sales.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Unaudited) (continued)

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $346.8 million, or
22.0% of net sales, for the six periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
$351.5 million, or 21.9% of net sales, for the same sales period a year ago.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative dollars is primarily
attributable to decreased advertising expenses resulting primarily from the
elimination of less effective publications and a gain on the sale of property
and equipment.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the first half of 1996 was $33.9 million as compared to
$36.6 million for the same period a year ago.  The decrease in interest expense
is primarily attributable to a decline in short-term borrowings resulting from
significantly lower inventory levels, as planned.

TAXES ON INCOME

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $16.3 million for the six
periods ended June 30, 1996 compared to an income tax benefit of $14.2 million
for the same period a year ago.  The estimated annual effective tax rates for
the six periods ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995 were 38% and 39%,
respectively.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 the effective income
tax rate was 38%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net working capital investment (current assets less current liabilities) totaled
$362.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 1996, representing an
increase of 26.6% from the July 2, 1995 level of $286.3 million.  The net
working capital increase was primarily due to a reduction of $125.3 million of
short-term borrowings which totaled $190.0 million ($337.5 million available for
borrowing) at June 30, 1996 compared to $315.3 million ($244.1 million available
for borrowing) at July 2, 1995.  The current ratio at June 30, 1996 was 1.4:1
compared to the current ratio at July 2, 1995 of 1.3:1.  This increase is
primarily the result of additional operating cash flow and reduced capital
expenditures over the past year.

Working capital requirements fluctuate significantly during the year due to the
seasonal nature of the jewelry, gift and home business.  These requirements are
financed through a combination of internally generated cash flow from operating
activities and short-term seasonal borrowings.  Short-term borrowings declined
as purchases were reduced to manage inventory more effectively.  These reduced
purchases contributed to the decline in trade accounts payable.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Unaudited) (continued)

   
The Company has available a Reducing Revolving Credit Facility.  The maximum
commitment level for the facility reduces $25 million annually until reaching
$475 million at December 31, 1998.  Currently, the maximum commitment level is
$550 million.  The Reducing Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 8, 1999
and currently has an interest rate of LIBOR + 5/8% on the borrowed amount and a
3/8% facility fee on the entire committed amount.  On May 23, 1996, the Company
amended the existing Reducing Revolving Credit Facility to allow for increased
operating flexibility in the future.
    

Total long-term debt, including current maturities and capitalized leases, was
$630.6 million at June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995.  Long-term debt remained
consistent as scheduled payments for capitalized lease obligations, mortgages
and Industrial Revenue Bonds were offset by new mortgages obtained by the
Company.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and determined that no material
impairment exists which would require recognition under the provisions of this
standard.

Additions to owned property and equipment were $8.2 million for the six periods
ended June 30, 1996 compared to $12.9 million for the same period last year.
The Company operated 409 catalog stores as of June 30, 1996, a net increase of 4
stores from a year ago.  New store openings are anticipated to be approximately
2% for fiscal 1996.  This figure does not take into account store closings for
such period.  The Company expects to incur capital expenditures of approximately
$50 million during fiscal 1996 related primarily to store growth and
improvements to exisiting stores.  The Company plans to fund these expenditures
through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings under the
Reducing Revolving Credit Facility.

          14. This  Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a
modification,  acceptance  or  waiver  of any  other  provision  of  the  Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document.
