          MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING February 24, 2002

                  COMES NOW, SERVICE MERCHANDISE COMPANY, INC.
                             ---------------------------------

Debtor-In-Possession, and hereby submits its Preliminary Monthly Operating
Report for the period commencing January 28, 2002 and ending February 24, 2002
as shown by the report and exhibits consisting of 15 pages and containing the
following as indicated:

          [X]     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.

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.
