                      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
    October 29, 1994, and the results of operations and changes in cash flows
    for the six months then ended. Because of the seasonal nature of the
    Company's business, sales and earnings results for the six months ended
    October 29, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of what the results will
    be for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 1994
    is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company
    included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission. Reference should be made to the
    Company's Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1994.


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


3.  On November 21, 1994, the Company announced that it had placed $100 million
    of senior notes with a group of six insurance companies.  Proceeds will
    be used to refinance floating rate bank indebtedness and for corporate
    growth purposes.  The principal amount of $100 million is broken into
    three tranches of $20 million, $55 million and $25 million, with average
    maturities of three years, five years and seven years, respectively.
    Interest rates are 7.81% for the first tranche, 8.26% for the second tranche
    and 8.59% for the third tranche.  In November 1994, the Company received
    $55 million of such proceeds, and will receive $25 million additional in
    February 1995 and the remaining $20 million in April 1995.  The Company's
    existing bank credit agreement has been reduced from $250 million to
    $190 million as a result of the private placement.

    Also in November 1994, the Company sold its Sparks, Nevada Automated
    Distribution Center (ADC) through a sale and lease-back arrangement.
    The Company has leased the ADC for five years with an annual lease cost
    of approximately $900,000, and also has two five-year renewal options
    on the facility.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS


Net sales for the second quarter ended October 29, 1994 were $347.2 million,
compared with $322.5 million for the second quarter ended October 30, 1993, an
increase of 8%.  Net income for the second quarter ended October 29, 1994 was
$15.5 million or $.46 per share, which was equal to net income for the second
quarter of last year.

For the first six months of fiscal 1995, net sales were $559.6 million, compared
to $516.5 million for the same period last year, an increase of 8%.  Net income
for the first six months of this year was $16.4 million, or $.49 per share,
compared to $12.7 million or $.38 per share last year, an increase of 29%.

Music sales during the second quarter this year were $170.1 million, compared to
$179.8 million for the second quarter last year, a decrease of 5%.  The decrease
in music sales resulted from the timing of new releases in the second quarter
this year compared to the same quarter last year.  Compact disc (CD) sales for
the second quarter this year were $94.4 million, or 55% of Handleman's music
sales, compared to $87.6 million or 49% of music sales during the second quarter
last year.  Handleman's CD sales growth rate continues to exceed the industry's
because CDs are now being purchased by middle-income Americans who tend to be
shoppers at the mass merchant outlets serviced by the Company.  Music sales for
the first six months this year were $289.0 million, compared to $293.1 million
for the same period last year, a decrease of 1%.

For the second quarter of fiscal 1995, video sales were $152.4 million, compared
to $116.4 million for the second quarter last year, an increase of 31%.  The
increase in video sales was primarily due to sales of "Jurassic Park" and "Snow
White," which were released during the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  For the
first six months of fiscal 1995, video sales were $220.0 million, compared to
$173.6 million last year, an increase of 27%.

Book sales for the second quarter this year were $15.9 million, compared to
$14.6 million for the second quarter last year, an increase of 9%.  This
increase was primarily the result of increased sales to the Company's major
customers.  For the first six months this year, book sales were $29.9 million,
compared to $29.7 million last year, an increase of 1%.

Personal computer software sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were $8.8
million, compared to $11.7 million for the same period last year, a decrease of
25%.  The decrease in personal computer software sales was primarily
attributable to the loss of two customers.  Personal computer software sales for
the first six months of fiscal 1995 were $20.7 million, compared to $20.1
million for the comparable period last year, an increase of 3%.

The gross profit margin percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was
23.1%, compared to 24.0% for the same period last year.  The decline in gross
profit margin percentage resulted from sales of mega-hit video releases on which
the Company earns a lower gross profit margin percentage.  For the first six
months this year the gross profit margin percentage was 23.5% of net sales,
compared to 23.8% for the first six months of fiscal 1994.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $51.9 million or 15.0%
of net sales for the second quarter this year, compared to $48.7 million or
15.1% of net sales for the second quarter last year.  The dollar increase in
SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to expenses of companies acquired or
formed subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  For the first six
months of this year, SG&A expenses were $98.3 million or 17.6% of net sales,
compared to $94.9 million or 18.4% of net sales last year.

Proprietary Products & Retail sales, which are included in the results discussed
above, represent sales of the Company's licensed video, personal computer
software and music products, and sales at licensed retail departments.
Proprietary Products & Retail sales during the second quarter of fiscal 1995
were $34.8 million, compared to $31.4 million in the second quarter last year.
This 11% increase was primarily attributable to sales from companies acquired in
the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Proprietary Products & Retail sales for the
first six months of fiscal 1995 were $48.2 million, compared to $39.0 million
for the first six months last year, an increase of 24%.  This increase resulted
from the aforementioned acquisitions, as well as the establishment of an in-
house software publishing company.  The Company is actively pursuing
opportunities to increase sales of proprietary products, which contribute a
relatively higher gross profit margin percentage.

On November 21, 1994, the Company announced that it had placed $100 million of
senior notes with a group of six insurance companies.  Proceeds will be used to
refinance floating rate bank indebtedness and for corporate growth purposes.
The principal amount of $100 million is broken into three tranches of $20
million, $55 million and $25 million, with average maturities of three years,
five years, and seven years, respectively.  Interest rates are 7.81% for the
first tranche, 8.26% for the second tranche, and 8.59% for the third tranche.
In November 1994, the Company received $55 million of such proceeds, and will
receive $25 million additional in February 1995 and the remaining $20 million in
April 1995.  The Company's existing bank credit agreement was reduced from $250
million to $190 million as a result of the private placement.

Accounts receivable at the end of October this year were $323.8 million,
compared to $227.3 million as of April 30, 1994.  The increase was primarily due
to heavier sales in September and October of 1994, compared to March and April
of 1994. The Company's second quarter includes a portion of the sales impact of
the Christmas selling season. The increase in merchandise inventories and
accounts payable at October 29, 1994, compared to April 30, 1994, resulted from
increased purchases to support the larger sales volume expected for the
remainder of the Christmas selling season. The decrease in debt, current and the
increase in debt, non-current primarily resulted from the payment of $31 million
of notes on October 1, 1994, and the replacement of such debt
with non-current debt.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations included in the Company's
Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended July 30, 1994 provides additional
