Item 7.(b). Pro Forma Financial Information (in thousands)


      The  following  tables  present  (i) the  historical  consolidated
condensed statement of income for the year ended December 31,  1994, and
the  historical consolidated condensed balance  sheet as of December 31,
1994, for Signet and (ii) the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
statement  of income  for  the  year ended  December  31,  1994 and  the
unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet as of  December
31, 1994 for Signet giving effect to the Pro Forma Adjustments described
below.  The  pro forma  consolidated condensed statement  of income  was
prepared assuming that the Pro Forma Adjustments had occurred January 1,
1994.   The  Pro  Forma  Adjustments  for  the  pro  forma  consolidated
condensed  balance sheet  represent the  December  31, 1994  Capital One
balance  sheet, an  adjustment  for minority-interest  and assumes  that
these Pro Forma Adjustments had occurred December 31, 1994.

      The   pro  forma   consolidated  condensed   financial  statements
presented  below do  not  purport  to  represent  what  the  results  of
operations or financial  position would  actually have been  if the  Pro
Forma  Adjustments had occurred on the dates  referred to above or to be
indicative  of the future results of operations or financial position of
Signet.   The Pro Forma Adjustments are based upon available information
and certain assumptions that Signet believes are reasonable.
