                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS







1.  In the opinion of Management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
    and consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows
    contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
    necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of
    January 31, 1994, and the results of operations and changes in cash flows
    for the nine months then ended. Because of the seasonal nature of the
    Company's business, sales and earnings results for the nine months ended
    January 31, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of what the results will
    be for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of May 1, 1993 is
    derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company
    included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission. Reference should also be made to the
    complete statements included in the Company's Form 10-K.


2.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with
    presentations adopted by the Company in fiscal 1994.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the third quarter ended January 31, 1994 were $300.0 million,
compared to $335.7 million for the third quarter ended January 31, 1993.  Net
income for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 was $10.1 million (or $.30 per
share), compared to $14.3 million (or $.43 per share) for the third quarter last
year.

For the first nine months of fiscal 1994, net sales were $816.5 million,
compared to $869.8 million for the same period last year.  Net income for the
first nine months of this year was $22.8 million (or $.68 per share), compared
to $33.2 million (or $1.00 per share) for the same period last year.

Music sales during the third quarter this year were $161.1 million, compared to
$195.8 million for the third quarter last year, a decrease of 18%.  The Company
attributes the decline in sales of music product to the impact of customer
fiscal year-end inventory concerns, which resulted in reduced sales volume and
increased merchandise returns in January 1994.  Music sales for the first nine
months this year were $454.2 million, compared to $504.9 million for the same
period last year.

For the third quarter of fiscal 1994, prerecorded video sales were $103.3
million, compared to $103.5 million for the same period a year-ago.  For the
first nine months of fiscal 1994, video sales were $276.9 million, compared to
$279.1 million for the same period last year.

Handleman Company's book sales for the third quarter this year were $21.2
million, compared to $18.2 million for the third quarter last year, an increase
of 16%.  The increase in book sales was primarily attributable to increased
sales to the Company's major book customer.  Book sales for the first nine
months of this year were $51.0 million, compared to $50.2 million for the same
period last year.

Home computer software sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 1994 were
$14.4 million, compared to $18.2 million for the third quarter last year, a
decrease of 21%.  The decrease in home computer software sales was primarily due
to the loss of two customers which switched to suppliers that are not providing
in-store service.  Home computer software sales for the first nine months of
fiscal 1994 were $34.4 million, compared to $35.6 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 1993.

Gross profit margin for the third quarter this year was 22.9%, compared to 24.3%
for the third quarter last year.  The primary reason for the decrease in the
gross profit margin percentage was the restricting by customers of music reorder
shipments to top selling items.  These better selling titles carry lower gross
profit margins since they are heavily discounted.  These restrictions also
resulted in a decrease in sales of higher margin budget music product,
negatively impacting the overall gross profit margin.  For the first nine months
this year the gross profit margin was 23.3%, compared to 24.5% for the
comparable period last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter this year were
$48.7 million or 16.2% of net sales, compared with $54.6 million or 16.3% of net
sales for the third quarter last year. The primary reason for the decline in
selling, general and administrative expenses was the lower sales level. For the
first nine months this year, selling, general and administrative expenses were
$142.4 million or 17.4% of net sales, compared to $146.8 million or 16.9% of net
sales for the same period last year.

Interest expense, net of interest income, for the third quarter this year was
$1.3 million, compared to $1.2 million for the third quarter last year.  This
increase was substantially related to lower interest earnings which primarily
resulted from a lower rate of return on invested funds.  Interest expense, net
of interest income, for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 was $4.5 million,
compared to $5.2 million for the comparable period last year.

Accounts receivable, as of January 31, 1994 were $239.7 million, compared to
$200.5 million as of May 1, 1993.  The increase was primarily due to the
seasonal nature of the Company's business.  The Company's third quarter includes
a portion of the sales impact of the Christmas selling season.  The increase in
other assets, net of allowances, primarily relates to video license advances.
The increase in debt, current, results from the reclassification to current
liabilities of certain notes due on October 1, 1994.

Customer concerns about overall store inventory levels will continue to have a
dampening effect on the Company's sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994.
The Company is exploring opportunities to create additional promotions in its
product lines to offset a forecasted sales decline.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations included in the Company's
Form 10-Q's for the first quarter ended July 31, 1993 and the second quarter
ended October 30, 1993 provide additional discussion regarding sales and
earnings results for the Company's first and second quarters of fiscal 1994, and
are incorporated herein by reference.
