NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 29, 1995
AND APRIL 30, 1994
GENERAL
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to interim financial statements
and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management of L. Luria & Son, Inc.
(the "Company"), the accompanying condensed financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of April 29, 1995 and April 30, 1994,
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods
ended April 29, 1995 and April 30, 1994. Furthermore, all
adjustments were of a normal or recurring nature.
SEASONALITY
The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 29,
1995 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire year because the Company's operations are seasonal.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in
Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the 1995 L. Luria
& Son, Inc. Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in
Form 10-K.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year immaterial amounts have been reclassified to
conform with current year presentation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SUMMARY
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated
percentages which certain items reflected in the financial data
bear to net sales of the Company:
RELATIONSHIPS TO NET SALES
PERIOD ENDED
April 29, 1995 April 30, 1994
Net sales 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of goods sold, buying
and warehousing costs 70.8 71.6
Gross margin 29.2 28.4
Operating expenses 32.9 29.6
Loss from operations (3.7) (1.2)
Interest income (expense) net (.5) .1
Loss before income tax (4.2) (1.1)
Income tax benefit (1.6) ( .4)
Net loss (2.6)% ( .7)%
NET SALES
For the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 1995, net sales were
$37,902,000 a 14.2% decrease compared to the same period last year.
Comparable store sales decreased 13.4%. This year's first quarter
sales were impacted by operating 45 stores vs. 50 stores in the
same period last year, reduced percent off promotions and
softening customer demand in the Company's markets.
GROSS MARGINS
Gross margins as a percent of net sales for the first thirteen
weeks of the current year increased to 29.2% as compared to 28.4%
for the prior year first quarter due to fewer promotional
markdowns and an improved sales mix with jewelry sales
representing 38.2% of total sales this quarter versus 37.1% in last
year's first quarter.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the current quarter increased as a percent
of net sales to 32.9% this year from 27.5% last year, due primarily
to lower sales than last year. Operating expenses for the quarter
were 4.9% below last year's operating expenses. Expenses were
reduced from last year's levels in most expense categories, with
the most significant reductions in payroll and occupancy expenses.
As part of the Restructuring Plan, the Company closed three catalog
showrooms during the quarter and plans to close and relocate
several additional stores. Approximately $550,000 of incremental
costs associated with closing the three catalog showrooms and
carrying costs associated with previously closed stores has been
charged to the Restructuring Plan reserves established in fiscal
year 1994. The Company currently operates nine superstores (in
addition to 34 catalog showrooms and two jewelry mall stores) and
plans to open at least two additional superstores this year to
replace existing showrooms.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
INCOME TAX BENEFIT
Income tax benefit for the thirteen-week period ended April 29,
1995 is estimated at 37.5% compared to last year's 38.0% rate for
the quarter.
INVENTORIES
At April 29, 1995, inventory levels were $83.8 million, 7.3% below
the January 28, 1995 balance of $90.4 million due to the Company's
inventory control efforts and the closing of selected catalog
showrooms.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At April 29, 1995, the Company had approximately $82.8 million in
shareholders' equity and approximately $.9 million in long-term
debt and capital leases. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $ 9.9
million since the end of fiscal 1995 primarily to pay for inventory
purchased last year and because land and buildings for stores
opened last year have been internally financed. At April 29,
1995, the Company had available lines of credit of $40 million, of
which there were borrowings outstanding of $18.8 million.
The Company believes that cash provided by operations, available
lines of credit and access to the capital markets at competitive
rates will be adequate to meet its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for fiscal year 1996.
