                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Craig Consumer
Electronics, Inc. (referred to herein as "the Company") reflect all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Company for the periods presented. It is suggested that the accompanying
unaudited financial statements and footnotes thereto be read in conjunction with
the December 31, 1995 financial statements and footnotes included in the
Company's prospectus dated May 21, 1996, on pages F-1 through F-13.

         The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

2.       CERTAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The Company does not own significant assets which are considered
long-lived assets. Accordingly, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived
Assets to be disposed of" is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

         In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-based Compensation." Under SFAS No. 123, companies have the option to
implement a fair value-based accounting method or continue to account for
employee stock options and stock purchase plans as prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
SFAS No. 123 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 1995. The Company has not made a determination as to whether
it will adopt the new fair value accounting rules. The Company has not assessed
the impact on net income and earnings per share of adopting the new fair value
accounting rules.

3.       INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

         The Company successfully completed its initial public offering of its
common stock on May 21, 1996, with the sale of $1.3 million shares. In
connection with the Offering, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock executed
agreements under which their shares were automatically converted into 1,733,330
shares of Common Stock. In addition, a 3.81-to-one reverse stock split of the
Common Stock was completed upon the effectiveness of the Offering.

4.       LOSS PER SHARE

         Loss per share equals net loss, divided by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to the conversion of preferred
and common shares referred

                                       4
<PAGE>   7
to in Note 3 above. Inclusion of stock options in the calculation of loss per
share would be anti-dilutive, and therefore, outstanding stock options are
excluded from the calculation.

5.       ACCOUNTING FOR CHINESE JOINT VENTURE

         The Company has entered into a joint venture partnership with an entity
in China to establish and operate a product reconditioning and manufacturing
facility located in Shenzhen, PRC. The investment in the 50% owned operation is
accounted for using the equity method. Funds invested in the Chinese Joint
Venture totalled $974,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996, as the
Company supplied cash or spare parts, and paid costs on behalf of the Joint
Venture, to establish the facility and commence operations. Inventory with a
carrying amount of approximately $4 million has been shipped to the Shenzhen
factory through June 30, 1996. The Company retains title to its inventory in the
physical custody of the Joint Venture, and such is included under "Inventory" on
the accompanying balance sheet at June 30, 1996. To the extent that costs
incurred in the Shenzhen factory apply to reconditioned product that the Company
re-imports and sells in the second half of the year, such costs will be included
in the cost of the product. Such costs incurred will be considered a
distribution, and will reduce the balance of the investment.

         Product which is returned to the Company from the Joint Venture will be
received into the Company's inventory at an incremental increase in its cost,
reflecting the value of parts, labor and overhead of the Shenzhen factory which
have been added, with the limitation that the original carrying amount, together
with the added costs, will not exceed the net realizable value of the product.
Further, in the event that any operating costs are incurred which cannot be
assigned to product, these will be charged to expense by the Joint Venture, and
accordingly, the Company will recognize its share of the earnings or losses of
its Joint Venture. As of June 30, 1996, such costs assigned to completed
reconditioned product received by the Company from the Joint Venture, and sold
to its customers, were not material, in the opinion of the Company's management.
Management further believes that the Joint Venture had not incurred costs in
excess of those which properly apply to product. The Company has, accordingly,
recognized no net income or loss from its Chinese Joint Venture in the
accompanying Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

</TABLE>

SECOND QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 1995

         The Company's business is highly seasonal, with typically lower sales
in the first half of the year than in the last half. The Company has
historically recognized losses during the first half of each of its past
profitable years.

         Sales in the second quarter of 1996 were down $7.4 million compared to
the same quarter of the preceding year, of which decline, $3.9 million is
attributable to the Company's decision to discontinue sales of its lower margin
video products. With video sales virtually ended by the second quarter of 1996,
and some returns of video products still occurring, the effect of the video
business was to reduce overall net sales for the quarter. Audio sales alone
decreased $3.5 million for the quarter. Management believes that this audio
sales decrease is partly attributable to overall weaker sales that prevail
throughout the industry. Additionally, the Company's annual program of
promotions and new product introductions began later in 1996 than in the
preceding year. However, the percentage margin on all sales was higher in the
second quarter of 1996 compared to 1995, by 2.8%, a consequence of concentrating
on the higher margin audio products. As a result, gross margin overall declined
only $704,000, despite lower sales.

                                       6
<PAGE>   9
         Operating expenses were lower in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
1995 by $441,000, although higher as a percentage of sales. Of the decline in
expenses, $156,000 is due to lower variable selling expenses. Additionally, the
Company's domestic reconditioning and warehousing operation was dramatically
reduced in size, as the Company transitions to having most reconditioning of
returned goods performed in its Chinese Joint Venture, in Shenzhen, PRC.

         Operating expenses for the second quarter of 1996 included
approximately $23,000 in compensation expense resulting from the termination of
the Company's former phantom stock plan. The participants in the terminated
phantom stock plan received promissory notes totalling $206,800, and bearing
interest at eight percent per year. Full payment of the notes is contingent upon
continued service of these individuals in their respective capacities until May
21, 1997. Therefore, the Company will continue to record compensation expense
totalling $206,800 over the period of service. (Payment of the notes will occur
over four years, with semi-annual interest payments commencing November 1, 1996,
and fully amortized, semi-annual principal payments commencing May 1, 1997.)

         Interest expense was $106,000 lower in the second quarter of 1996
compared to 1995, a decrease attributable to lower levels of borrowing under the
Company's revolving line of credit. ($6.3 million lower on average for the
second quarter of 1996 compared to 1995.) Factors influencing the Company's
lower level of borrowing include primarily the application of the $5.7 million
in funds received by the Company from its IPO to reduce the debt under the
revolving line. Thereafter, available credit under the line was re-borrowed and
utilized to acquire product or to repay trade debt, in order to open up trade
credit lines and letters of credit to obtain product shipments. In 1996,
subordinated debt interest totalling $49,000 was also accrued but not paid.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash used in operating activities was $935,000 in the first half of
1996, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $7.2 in the
same period a year earlier. In the earlier period, operating activities provided
cash despite a net loss of $1.1 million, when higher than usual year-end
inventory and accounts receivable were reduced.

         Purchases of property and equipment of $51,000 in the second quarter,
accumulating to $181,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, were
principally incurred to complete the consolidation of its facilities from two
buildings to one, and to install upgraded capacity to its management information
systems, including those of the Hong Kong office. These amounts are exclusive of
machinery and equipment acquired by the Chinese Joint Venture entity directly.

         Net repayments to the Company's revolving line of credit were $3.8
million in the six months ended June 30, 1996. The Company's credit line is
collateralized by its accounts receivable, and by its inventory. Exclusions from
the borrowing base include any inventory which the Company has transferred to
the Chinese Joint Venture for reconditioning. This exclusion is effective until
the product is in transit on its return to the Company in saleable

                                       7
<PAGE>   10
condition. This excluded inventory, totalling $4.0 million as of June 30, 1996,
explains the reduced use by the Company of its bank line of credit, and
corresponding impact on cash flow.

         At June 30, 1996, borrowing availability under the Company's bank line
of credit was $2.6 million. The Company believes that cash generated from
operations, together with bank borrowing, trade credit lines, and other
financing vehicles will be adequate to meet the Company's cash needs for working
capital and capital expenditures through at least the next 12 months. No
significant debt payments are anticipated to be made until May 1, 1997, when the
first semi-annual principal payments totalling approximately $149,000 will
become due under the subordinated debt, and the subordinated promissory notes to
former participants in the terminated Phantom Stock Plan. Under terms of these
debt agreements, no payment will be made to the extent that such payment would
cause any violation or default of any material agreement to which the Company is
a party, including its bank line of credit agreement. Management believes that
the cash requirements of the Chinese Joint Venture will begin to be met by its
own operations, as reconditioned product becomes available for sale.

                                     PART II

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         The Company has, from time to time, engaged a Hong Kong firm known as
Birdy Electronics, Inc. ("Birdy") to manufacture certain products for and on
behalf of the Company. The Company had ordered products from Birdy and commenced
to distribute those products through the Company's ordinary channels. Currently,
the Company has unpaid invoices that it has received from Birdy totaling
approximately $4 million. The Company has booked these invoices as a trade
payable, however, the Company does not believe the invoices are valid, due to
failure of consideration and other causes, including the failure of Birdy to
deliver products confirming to the purchase orders for them.

         The Company has attempted to negotiate a resolution of its dispute with
Birdy, however, on July 24, 1996 Birdy filed an action in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California, styled Birdy Electronics
Company Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation, v. Craig Consumer Electronics, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, and Does 1 through 50, inclusive, alleging breach of
contract, account stated, and suit on open account, among other allegations in
the pursuit of the collection of the amounts allegedly owed. The Company has not
yet responded to the complaint, but has retained counsel to vigorously defend
against the complaint and to prosecute the Company's counter-claims associated
with the failure of Birdy to deliver conforming products among other claims.

         Settlement discussions have been undertaken. However, it is unclear
whether any significant progress toward an amicable resolution of the matter
will be obtained prior to the date that the Company is required to respond to
Birdy's complaint -- August 14, 1996.

         In connection with the Birdy litigation, Birdy is pursuing a writ of
attachment which the company will vigorously defend. Because the Birdy invoices,
in the ordinary course of the Company's business, have been booked as a payable
(although the Company vigorously disputes whether it owes all or any substantial
portion of the amounts to Birdy, particularly after applying all available
offsets that the company intends to assert), the Birdy litigation is not, in
management's view, material to the Company's financial condition.

         The Company will assert reasonable defenses and pursue all claims in
this litigation, if it is not amicably resolved.
