Judge: PAINE Chapter 11 Debtor(s) MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING January 27, 2002 COMES NOW, SERVICE MERCHANDISE COMPANY, INC. Debtor-In-Possession, and hereby submits its Preliminary Monthly Operating Report for the period commencing December 31, 2001 and ending January 27, 2002 as shown by the report and exhibits consisting of 6 pages and containing the following as indicated: Monthly Reporting Questionnaire (Attachment 1) ------- X Comparative Balance Sheets (Forms OPR-1 & OPR-2) ------- N/A Summary of Accounts Receivable (Form OPR-3) ------- X Schedule of Postpetition Liabilities (Form OPR-4) ------- X Statement of Income (Loss) (Form OPR-5) ------- I declare under penalty of perjury that this report and all the attachments are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. On January 18, 2002, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division (the "Bankruptcy Court") approved the request of Service Merchandise Company, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (the "Company") to immediately begin liquidating the inventory at all of its stores and to conduct store closing sales on a final basis and to discontinue operations at the stores. The financial statements and schedules related to the Company included herein have not been prepared on a liquidation basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The information needed to prepare the financial statements and schedules on a liquidation basis is not currently available to management. Attempting to obtain such information necessary to prepare the financial statements and schedules on a liquidation basis would cause undue hardship and expense to the Company. Preparation of the financial statements and schedules on a liquidation basis of accounting would result in material adjustments to the financial statements and schedules. Consequently, no representation is made regarding the sufficiency of the financial statements and schedules. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the financial statements and schedules contained herein. The Debtor has filed with the U. S. Trustee on February 18, 2002, the preliminary January 27, 2002 Monthly Operating Report, which included certain schedules, including payroll, insurance, receipts and disbursements, payment to professionals and bank accounts, etc. This report includes those reports agreed upon as appropriate at this time between the Debtor and the U.S. Trustee. I also hereby certify that the original Monthly Operating Report was filed with the Bankruptcy Court Clerk and a copy delivered to the U. S. Trustee. Date: 3-18-02 DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION By: /s/ M. E.
