                  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
    July 29, 1995, and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for
    the three months then ended. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's
    business, sales and earnings results for the three months ended July 29,
    1995 are not necessarily indicative of what the results will be for the full
    year. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 29, 1995 is derived from
    the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the
    Company's 1995 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 29, 1995.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
               --------------------------------------------------



Net sales for the first quarter ended July 29, 1995 were $230.8 million, an
increase of 9% from net sales of $212.5 million for the first quarter ended July
30, 1994.  However, as a result of increased selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses, coupled with a lower gross profit margin percentage, the
Company incurred a net loss for the first quarter ended July 29, 1995 of $6.5
million or $.19 per share.  During the comparable quarter last year the
Company's net income was $.9 million or $.03 per share.

Music sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were $138.3 million, compared
to $118.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1995, an increase of 16%. The
higher music sales level was primarily attributable to increased compact disc
(CD) sales. CD sales for the first quarter this year were $86.1 million or 62%
of music sales, compared to $60.5 million or 51% of music sales for the
comparable prior year quarter.

Video sales for the first quarter ended July 29, 1995 decreased 4% to $64.6
million from $67.6 million for the first quarter last year.  The decrease in
video sales was primarily attributable to lower sales to a customer that has
begun to purchase a substantial portion of its video product directly from the
manufacturers.

Book sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were $13.6 million, compared to
$14.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1995, a decrease of 4%.  The
decrease in book sales primarily resulted from a lower level of sales to certain
of the Company's major customers.

Personal computer software sales increased 20% to $14.3 million for the first
quarter this year, from $11.9 million for the first quarter last year.  The
increase in personal computer software sales was primarily attributable to an
increase in sales to the Company's major software customers.

The gross profit margin percentage for the first quarter ended July 29, 1995 was
22.8%, compared to 24.0% for the first quarter ended July 30, 1994.  The
decrease in gross profit margin percentage primarily resulted from a lower gross
profit margin percentage on video sales and the continuing shift in the net
sales mix to lower margin CD sales.

SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were $57.2 million (24.8% of
net sales), compared to $46.4 million (21.8% of net sales) for the first quarter
of fiscal 1995.  The higher level of SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales
was primarily attributable to the Company's Core rackjobbing operations which
realized increases in customer shipments and customer returns.  These increases
required a higher level of SG&A expenses (e.g., selling and warehouse labor,
freight) to handle the increased activity.  The increase in customer returns was
partially a result of certain key customers reducing overall store inventories.
Also contributing to the increase in Core SG&A expenses as a percentage of net
sales were certain customer programs requiring significant labor costs (e.g.,
providing services not offered last year, installing new product fixtures).  In
spite of the additional customer service requirements and the impact of
increased customer returns, the SG&A expenses of the Core operations as a
percentage of total dollar activity (gross sales plus returns) was approximately
level with that of the first quarter of last year.

Interest expense, net of interest income, for the first quarter ended July 29,
1995 was $3.0 million, compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of the
prior year.  The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to
higher borrowings and higher average interest rates.

North Coast Entertainment, Inc. ("NCE"), a subsidiary of Handleman Company,
includes the Company's proprietary products and retail operations.  NCE sales,
which are included in the results reported above, represent sales of licensed
video, music and personal computer software products, and sales at licensed
retail departments.  NCE sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were $25.2
million, compared with $13.4 million for the first quarter last year, an
increase of 88%.  The sales increase was generated predominantly by sales from
companies acquired in fiscal 1995.  The Company is actively pursuing
opportunities to increase sales of proprietary products, which contribute a
relatively higher gross profit margin percentage.

Accounts payable at July 29, 1995 totaled $211.2 million, compared to $243.1
million at April 29, 1995.  The decrease in accounts payable was primarily
attributable to a decrease in net inventory purchases in the first quarter of
this year, compared to the fourth quarter of last year.

On September 6, 1995 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly
dividend of $.11 per share on the outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company, payable on October 10, 1995 to shareholders of record at the close of
business on September 25, 1995.  In view of the first quarter's operating loss,
the Board of Directors also stated that it will review the Company's dividend
policy at its December Board meeting taking into account actual operating
results for the second quarter and anticipated performance for the balance of
the fiscal year.
