NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1997 and
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, include
the accounts of CD Warehouse, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiary,
Compact Discs Management, Inc. ("CDM"), and majority owned retail stores. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the
Company are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial
statements have been reflected in the interim periods presented. Such
adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1998. The
significant accounting policies and certain financial information which are
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, but which are not required for interim reporting
purposes, have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB.
NOTE 2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On January 27, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Initial Public Offering") for 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price
of $5 per share. On March 6, 1997, the underwriters exercised an over-allotment
option and purchased an additional 40,000 shares of common stock at $5 per
share. The proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, after deducting underwriting
discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $4.5 million.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company
purchased the assets of Compact Disc International, LTD. ("CDIL") for $3.2
million. Prior to the acquisition, CDIL franchised and operated stores
throughout the United States and England under the name "CD Warehouse." In
connection with its franchise operations, CDIL also sold new and preowned
compact discs to its franchisees.
In a related transaction, which also was effected simultaneously with the
closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company and CDM purchased all of the
franchise interests of the largest CDIL franchisee in exchange for 80,000
shares of the Company's common stock ("MacDonald Acquisition") valued at the
initial public offering price of $5 per share.
The acquisitions were recorded under the purchase method of accounting and
resulted in an excess of purchase price over net assets acquired of
approximately $3.5 million which is amortized on a straight-line basis over 20
years.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
OVERVIEW
The Company was formed in September 1996 to acquire the franchise
operations of CDIL, a Texas limited partnership which franchised and operated
stores throughout the United States and England under the name "CD Warehouse."
The first CD Warehouse store was opened in 1992. Under the CD Warehouse name, as
of March 31, 1998, there were 150 domestic units operating in 29 states and 6
international units operating in England, France and Venezuela.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January
27, 1997, the Company acquired the assets of CDIL, consisting primarily of
CDIL's rights as franchisor in the various franchise agreements to which it was
a party, for a purchase price of $3.2 million. In a related transaction (the
"MacDonald Acquisition"), which also occurred simultaneously with the closing of
the Initial Public Offering, the Company acquired the equity interests of Bruce
D. MacDonald (together with his affiliates, "MacDonald"), the largest CDIL
franchisee, in 36 franchised CD Warehouse stores. Pursuant to the MacDonald
Acquisition, the Company acquired 100% ownership of MacDonald's Montfort Street
Store and minority equity interests (including MacDonald's interest as a
managing general partner or limited liability company manager) in the other 35
franchised stores in which MacDonald had an interest. Effective December 30,
1997, the Company sold back to MacDonald the Company's various ownership
interests in nine partnerships, for an aggregate consideration of $169,807. The
partnerships, which act as franchisees of the Company, operate nine CD Warehouse
stores. Pursuant to the sale, MacDonald assumed the Company's interest in the
partnerships, which continue to operate as CD Warehouse franchisees
From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements
relating to certain matters, including anticipated financial performance,
business prospects, the future opening of Company-owned and franchised stores,
anticipated capital expenditures, and other similar matters. The Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of that safe
harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's
actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results
or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. In
addition, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update those
forward-looking statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
The Company derives its revenues primarily from retail sales by Company and
majority-owned stores, wholesale merchandise sales to franchisees of the Company
and royalty fees from franchisees. The Company also receives revenues from
initial franchise fees, area development fees, management fees and software
income. Retail store cost of sales and operating expenses relate directly to
Company and majority-owned retail store sales. Wholesale merchandise sales and
associated cost of sales relate to the Company's franchising operations. Other
expenses, such as depreciation, amortization, and general and administrative
expenses, relate to Company and majority-owned store operations, as well as the
Company's franchising operations. The number and sales volumes of Company and
majority-owned retail stores directly affect the Company's revenues and
expenses. The Company's revenues and, to a lesser extent, expenses also are
affected by the number and sales volumes of franchise stores. Initial franchise
fees are directly affected by the number of franchised store openings.

</TABLE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997.
Revenues
Retail store sales increased $1,468,000 to $1,656,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, compared to $188,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997. The increase in retail store sales is the result of having twenty-two
stores (twenty Company and two majority-owned) in operation by March 31, 1998
compared to only eight stores at March 31, 1997.
Wholesale merchandise sales decreased $12,000 to $1,070,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $1,082,000 for the same period in 1997.
The decrease is due to the introduction of new 'catalog' product in March 1997,
which resulted in approximately $200,000 of wholesale merchandise sales for the
three months ended March 31, 1997.
Royalty income increased $242,000, or 102%, to $479,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $237,000 for the same period in 1997.
The increase is due to the greater number of franchise stores in operation at
March 31, 1998 (136) compared to the number operating at March 31, 1997 (108).
Additionally, same store sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998
increased 21% as well as monthly average store sales increasing from $22,875 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $27,064 for the same period in 1998.
Management fees decreased $8,000 due to the sale of nine stores in December
1997, combined with the acquisition by the Company of an additional five stores
in January 1998 for which the Company received management fees during the three
months ended March 31, 1997.
Franchise and development fees increased $27,000 to $33,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $6,000 for the comparable period in
1997. The increase is due to opening four franchised stores during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to only one during the same period in 1997.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of sales for retail store sales increased $846,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. This increase
is consistent with the increase of retail store revenue discussed above. Cost of
sales was 58% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to
62% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Cost of sales for wholesale merchandise decreased $38,000 to $967,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $1,005,000 for the same
period in 1997. This decrease is consistent with the decrease in sales discussed
above. Cost of sales was 90% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to 93% for the same period in 1997. The reduced cost of sales for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 can be attributed to additional discounts on
merchandise purchases associated with the company's growth in stores discussed
above.
10
<PAGE>
Retail store operating expenses increased $485,000 to $569,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the comparable period in 1997.
The increase was due to the increased number of company and majority owned
stores discussed above. However, retail store operating expense was 34% of
retail store revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998, while such
operating expense was 45% of retail store revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This decrease resulted from better operating results of Company
and majority owned stores which had been in operation during 1997. The results
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 reflect the Company's initial
development of Company stores which included start up costs for five new stores.
The Company opened two new Company stores during the three months ended March
31, 1998.
General and administrative expenses increased by $174,000 to $443,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $269,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. This increase resulted from the continued growth of the
Company in both Company stores (increase of 14 stores) and franchise stores
(increase of 28 stores). General and administrative expense decreased as a
percentage of total revenues from 17% for the three months ended March 31, 1997
to 14% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $38,000 to $73,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $35,000 for the comparable period in
1997. This is primarily due to the increase of fourteen Company stores in 1998.
Net Income
Net income increased $124,000 to $161,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998, compared to $37,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1997. The
increase in net income is due to improved retail store operations, as indicated
by reduced percentage of cost of sales and operating expenses, increase in
royalties generated by increased number of stores and same store sales and
finally, an increase of franchise and development fees of $27,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1998 the Company had working capital of $2,048,000 and cash
and cash equivalents aggregating $816,000, compared to working capital of
$1,931,000 and cash and cash equivalents of $1,122,000 at December 31, 1997. Net
cash used for operating activities was $91,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $318,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The increased use of cash by operating
activities for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was due to the initial
growth of the Company relating to new Company stores, increasing inventory and
overall growth of stores in operation. For the three months ended March 31,
1998, the use of cash by operating activities reflects that the Company has been
in operations for a year.
Net cash used for investing activities was $215,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, compared to $3,253,000 for the same period in 1997. The
significant use of cash for investing activities in 1997 relates to the
acquisition of the assets of CDIL on January 27, 1997 and opening of Company
stores. The net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 relates to the growth in Company store operations.
Net cash provided from financing activities was $4,842,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. No cash was provided from financing activities for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The net cash provided from financing in
1997 relates to the initial public offering and the collection of a stock
subscription in the amount of $350,000.
In addition to the working capital at March 31, 1998, the Company has a
$500,000 Line of Credit and $500,000 Term Loan Agreement ("Credit Facilities")
with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. Amounts borrowed under the
Credit Facilities will bear an interest rate equal to the sum of 3.1% and the
thirty-day Commercial Paper Rate. As of the date of this Report, $265,800 had
been borrowed under these Credit Facilities. It is the Company's opinion that
the current working capital at March 31, 1998, combined with the Credit
Facilities will be sufficient to support the ongoing activities of the business
for the foreseeable future.
