             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and
June 30, 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, include the
accounts of CD Warehouse, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Compact Discs Management, Inc. ("CDM") and CD Warehouse Finance Company ("CDF").
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 six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2000.  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.   BUSINESS ACQUISITION

     In February 1999, the Company acquired the assets of Music Trader, Inc., a
16-store retail music chain based in Southern California, for cash of $3,000,000
and 84,745 shares for the Company's common stock for a total purchase price of
approximately $4,000,000.  The acquisition was recorded under the purchase
method of accounting and resulted in an allocation of excess of purchase price
over net assets acquired of $966,880 which is amortized on a straight-line basis
over ten years.

     The acquisition described above was accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations.  Accordingly, the accompanying
consolidated statements of income do not include any revenues or expenses
related to these acquisitions prior to the closing date.  The cash portion of
the acquisition was financed through proceeds from operating cash flows.
Following are the Company's unaudited pro forma results for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1999 (in
thousands, except for per share data):

Results of Operations

     The Company derives its revenues primarily from retail sales of its
company-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 and software income.  Retail store
cost of sales and operating expenses relates directly to company-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-owned
store operations, as well as the Company's franchising operations.  The number
and sales volumes of company-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.

     The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total
revenues, unless otherwise indicated, of certain items included in the Company's
statement of operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999
(all numbers rounded to the nearest thousand)

     Revenues

     Retail store sales increased $189,000 to $6,803,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $6,614,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999.  The increase in retail store sales was the result of having 74 company
stores in operation during the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 71
company stores during the comparable period in 1999.

     Wholesale merchandise sales increased 141% to $203,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $84,000 for the same period in 1999.  The
increase was due to the addition of 10 new CD Warehouse franchised stores during
the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to only 7 during the same period
in 1999.

     Royalty income remained fairly constant at $972,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $936,000 for the same period in 1999.  Although
the number of franchised stores operating decreased by 12, the increase in store
sales offset the decrease in store count.

     Costs and Expenses

     Cost of sales for retail store sales increased $336,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999.  A portion of
this 9% increase was offset by the increase in retail store revenue discussed
above.  However, cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 61% of sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 58% for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.  The increase in cost of sales can be attributed to two factors:
1) increased competition, which caused the stores to buy used product at a
higher cost, and 2) increased percentage of sales being new product, which
carries a higher cost than used product.

     Cost of sales for wholesale merchandise increased $124,000 to $159,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $35,000 in 1999.   The
increase is consistent with the increase in wholesale merchandise sales.  Cost
of sales was 78% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to
41% for the comparable period in 1999.  The increased cost of sales relates to
the Company's reduction of its markup on supplies and accessories offered to the
system and reduction in equipment sales.

     Retail store operating expenses decreased $172,000 to $2,390,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $2,562,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999.  Retail store operating expense was 35% of retail store
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 39% of retail
store revenue for the same period in 1999.  The 7% decrease was due to the cost
saving measures implemented during the 1st quarter of 2000, primarily in payroll
and advertising.

     General and administrative expenses decreased by $64,000 to $1,050,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $1,114,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999.  This decrease can be primarily attributed to
reduction in legal fees and travel expenses.

     Depreciation and Amortization

     Depreciation and amortization increased $160,000 to $517,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $357,000 for the same period in 1999.
The increase was attributable to the addition of company-owned stores, costs
associated with the Company's E-commerce operations and the amortization of
goodwill associated with various acquisitions effected during 1999 and 2000.

     Net Loss

     The Company experienced a net loss of  $383,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to a net loss of $144,000 during the same period in
1999.  The increase in net loss was due primarily to the increase in cost of
sales offset by a reduction in operating expenses of retail stores described
above.  Net loss was also affected by the increase in other expenses of
$105,000.  This was caused by the increase of interest expense of approximately
$70,000.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
(all numbers rounded to the nearest thousand)

     Revenues

     Retail store sales increased $2,058,000 to $13,993,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $11,935,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999.  The 17% increase in retail store sales was the result of having the 16
Music Trader stores in operation for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to only 4 months in 1999 (Music Trader stores were acquired in February, 1999).

     Wholesale merchandise sales increased to $431,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to $224,000 for the same period in 1999.  The increase
was due to the addition of 54 stores operating as CD Warehouse during the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

     Royalty income remained fairly constant at $1,897,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $1,862,000 for the same period in 1999.
Although the number of stores operating as CD Warehouse increased by 54, the
Company had a net decrease of 9 stores, primarily due to conversions and
closures of stores operating as Disc Go Round.

     Costs and Expenses

     Cost of sales for retail store sales increased $1,729,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999.  A portion of
this 25% increase was offset by the increase in retail store revenue discussed
above.  However, cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 62% of sales for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 58% for the six months ended June
30, 1999.  The increase of cost of sales can be attributed to two factors: 1)
increased competition, which caused the stores to buy used product at a higher
cost, and 2) increased percentage of sales being new product, which carries a
higher cost than used product.

     Cost of sales for wholesale merchandise increased $210,000 to $334,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $124,000 in 1999.   The increase
is consistent with the increase in wholesale merchandise sales.  Cost of sales
was 78% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 55% for the
comparable period in 1999.  The increased cost of sales relates to the Company's
reduction of its markup on supplies and accessories offered to the system and a
reduction in equipment sales.

     Retail store operating expenses increased $646,000 to $4,913,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $4,267,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.  The 15% increase was due to the increase of company-owned stores
discussed above.  Retail store operating expense was 35% of retail store revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 36% of retail store revenue
for the same period in 1999.  The decrease in retail store operating expense as
a percentage of retail store revenue is attributable to a cost saving measures
implemented during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

     General and administrative expenses decreased by $226,000 to $2,046,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $2,273,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.  This decrease can be primarily attributed to reduction in
legal fees and travel expenses.  The six months ended June 30, 1999 also
included the one-time application fee for listing on Nasdaq National Market
System.

     Depreciation and Amortization

     Depreciation and amortization increased $340,00 to $1,014,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $674,000 for the same period in 1999.
The increase was attributable to the addition of company-owned stores, costs
associated with the Company's E-commerce operations and the amortization of
goodwill associated with various acquisitions effected during 1999 and 2000.

     Net Loss

     The Company experienced a net loss of $600,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to net loss of $75,000 during the same period in 1999.
The increase in net loss was due primarily to the increase in cost of sales of
retail stores described above.  Net loss was also affected by the increase in
other expenses of $196,000.  This was caused by the increase in interest expense
of approximately $166,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $9,272,000 and cash
and cash equivalents aggregating $803,000, compared to working capital of
$9,492,000 and cash and cash equivalents of $1,070,000 at December 31, 1999.
Net cash used by operating activities was $154,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2000, compared to net cash provided for operating activities of $517,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The net cash used by operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 related principally to the reduction of accounts
payable of $1,066,000 offset by a reduction in refundable income taxes of
$476,000 and an increase in accounts receivables of $283,000 and inventory of
$112,000.  The net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30,
1999 included an increase in accounts payable of $1,686,000, consisting
primarily of amounts due to E-commerce related vendors.  The increase in cash
provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
reduced in part by increased inventory purchases during this period, resulting
from the increase in company stores, as well as the continued planned growth of
per-store inventory quantities.

     Net cash used for investing activities was $60,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to $5,787,000 for the same period in 1999.  The net cash
used for investing activity for the six months ended June 30, 2000 related to
the acquisition of 4 stores offset by the sale of 3 stores and the purchase of
furniture, fixtures and equipment of $209,000.  The significant uses of cash for
investing activities in 1999 related to the acquisition of Music Trader, Inc. in
February 1999, development costs relating to E-commerce, and continued company
store growth.

     Net cash used from financing activities was $52,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to net cash provided from financing activities of
$3,441,000 for the same period in 1999.  The net cash used by financing in 2000
related to the net increase in borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility.  The net cash provided from financing in 1999 related to debt used to
acquire Music Trader, Inc. and open new company stores, as well as proceeds from
the exercise of stock warrants issued in connection with the Company's initial
public offering.

     In October 1998, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, CD Warehouse
Finance Company, to finance the growth of qualified franchisees.  As of June 30,
2000, the financing subsidiary had funded $228,000 for the development or
remodel of three new franchised stores.  In connection with the Company's new
credit facility obtained in December 1999, an affiliate of the Company's asset-
based lender is now offering financing to the Company's qualified franchisees,
and the Company no longer offers financing services.

     The Company is continuing the implementation of its Internet E-commerce
website (http://www.cdwarehouse.com/).  The website "went live" in December 1998
         ----------------------------
and offers both new and used CDs.  As previously reported, the Company has
experienced difficulties in the process of expanding its Internet website to
include all used inventory of its company stores.  During 1999, the Company's
principal E-Commerce partner and project developer worked with the Company to
resolve these difficulties, and the majority of the company stores have now
uploaded their used inventory on-line.  However, since its implementation, the
Company has not marketed or advertised its website, and sales from the website
are minimal.  The Company has entered into a strategic alliance with Half.com,
and intends to continue to seek other strategic alliances and partnerships, that
will allow it to effectively market its website and to generate sufficient
revenue to cover the costs associated with operating the site. To date, the
Company has incurred costs in excess of $2,000,000 in development of the
website, and it is expected that additional costs will be incurred in further
project development.  A significant portion of the Company's accounts payable
during 1999 related to amounts owed to its principal E-Commerce vendors;
however, as a result of funding obtained by the Company in December 1999 under a
new $15,000,000 revolving credit facility, described below, the Company has paid
its principal E-commerce vendors.

     In addition to its working capital at June 30, 2000, the Company has a
$15,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with an asset-based
lender.  The Facility, obtained in December 1999, replaced the Company's
$7,000,0000 credit facility with Bank One Oklahoma, N.A.  As of June 30, 2000,
the Company had $4,654,000 outstanding under the Facility.  The term of the
Facility expires in December 2002, at which time the principal and unpaid
interest are due.  Amounts borrowed under the Facility bear a variable rate of
interest equal to an index rate (of thirty-day commercial paper) plus 2.75%.
Borrowings under the Facility are limited to a borrowing base calculation as
determined by stated percentages of compact discs in inventory.  Available
borrowings under the Facility as of June 30, 2000 were approximately $600,000.
All assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under the Facility.  The
Facility requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants including
fixed charge coverage, minimum tangible net worth, and limits on capital
expenditures.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     As a result of settling various legal proceedings, the Company acquired
four franchised stores and is obligated to make payments totaling approximately
$613,000 over the next twelve months.  The Company anticipates that it will be
able to make the scheduled payments from working capital and/or borrowings from
the Facility.  As of June 30, 2000, the balance of these obligations was
$386,000.

     In response to the net loss reported for 1999, the Company implemented
certain cost saving measures during the first quarter of 2000.  However, since
these savings were not fully realized until the second quarter, operating
results for this period caused the fixed coverage ratio to fall below the
requirement imposed by the Facility.  The lender waived this covenant until the
third quarter of 2000, when the operating results should reflect these cost
savings.  Proceeds of the Facility were used to repay existing indebtedness,
including $3.5 million to retire the Company's existing credit facility.  It is
the Company's opinion that the current working capital at June 30, 2000,
combined with the Facility, will be sufficient to support ongoing activities of
the Company for the foreseeable future.
