     1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

     Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Harvey Electronics, Inc.
(the  "Company")  have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles for interim financial reporting and with the instructions
to Form  10-QSB.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.

     The accompanying financial statements have also been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going  concern.  The Company,  which emerged from
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code after confirmation of its
reorganization  plan (the  "Reorganization  Plan") on  November  13,  1996,  had
incurred  recurring  losses and  negative  cash flows  from  operations  through
November  1,  1997.  Management's  plan in regard to these  matters  principally
include raising  additional  equity through a proposed public offering (see Note
3) and a refinancing of the Company's  existing credit facility (see Note 2). If
the Company is successful in the proposed Offering,  it will seek to utilize the
net proceeds to open or acquire  additional  retail  facilities  and for working
capital  purposes.  Despite  net  income in the first  quarter  of fiscal  1998,
management  can not predict  whether  this trend will  continue,  or whether the
proposed public offering will be consummated,  and therefore whether the Company
will be able to continue as a going  concern.  The  financial  statements do not
include any  adjustments  that may result  from the  possible  inability  of the
Company to continue as a going concern.

     Description of Business

     The Company is a specialty  retailer of high quality  audio/video  consumer
electronics and home theater products in the Metropolitan New York area. Revenue
from retail sales is  recognized at the time goods are delivered to the consumer
or, for certain  installation  services,  when such  services are  performed and
accepted by the customer.

     Operating results for the three-month period ended January 31, 1998 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
October 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended November 1, 1997.

     On November 5, 1997, the Company  entered into a three-year  revolving line
of credit facility with Paragon Capital L.L.C.  ("Paragon")  whereby the Company
may borrow up to $3,300,000 based upon a lending formula (as defined) calculated
on eligible inventory.

                                January 31, 1998
                                   (Unaudited)



     2. New Revolving Line of Credit Facility (continued)

     Proceeds from Paragon were used to pay down and cancel the existing  credit
facility with Congress Financial Corporation ("Congress"), reduce trade payables
and pay  related  costs of the  refinancing.  The Paragon  facility  provides an
improved  advance rate of the Company's  inventory  which resulted in additional
net  financing  of  approximately  $750,000  (after  expenses)  compared  to the
Company's previous facility with Congress. The interest rate on borrowings up to
$2,500,000 is 1% over the prime rate. The rate charged on  outstanding  balances
over  $2,500,000 is 1.75% above the prime rate. A commitment  fee of $49,500 was
paid by the  Company at  closing  and a facility  fee of  three-quarters  of one
percent (.75%) of the maximum credit line will be charged in each year.  Monthly
maintenance charges and a termination fee also exist under the line of credit.

     Paragon also received a warrant to purchase  125,000 shares of common stock
subject to  adjustment,  which is currently  exercisable at a price of $5.50 per
share and expires  April 3, 2001.  The  Company  will record a charge over three
years,  based upon the  estimated  fair value of such  warrant of  approximately
$24,000.

     Paragon has a senior security interest in all of the Company's assets.  The
line of credit facility  provides  Paragon with rights of acceleration  upon the
occurrence of certain customary events of default  including,  among others, the
event of bankruptcy.  The Company is restricted from paying  dividends on common
stock,  retiring or  repurchasing  its common stock and entering into additional
indebtedness (as defined). Additionally, certain financial covenants exist.

     3. Proposed Public Offering

     On  September  15,  1997,  the  Company  signed a letter of intent  with an
underwriter  to sell common  stock and  warrants to purchase  common  stock in a
public  offering (the  "Offering") . The  underwriter  proposes to co-manage and
underwrite  an offering of 1,200,000  shares of the  Company's  common stock and
1,830,000 of warrants ("Warrants") to acquire additional shares of Common Stock.
1,025,000  shares would be sold by the Company and 175,000  shares would be sold
by Harvey Acquisition Company,  LLC ("HAC"),  the selling majority  shareholder,
with the  proceeds to be received by HAC.  The net  proceeds  from the  proposed
Offering will be used for the  expansion or  acquisition  of  additional  retail
stores and for working capital purposes.

     Each Warrant shall be  exerisable  for one share of common stock at 110% of
the public offering price, for a period of three years commencing two years from
the effective  date of the  Offering.  The Warrants are also  redeemable,  (at a
prescribed price) at the Company's option, two years after the effective date of
the  Offering if the closing  bid price of the common  stock for 20  consecutive
trading days exceeds 150% of the public offering price per share.

                                   (Unaudited)



     3. Proposed Public Offering (continued)

     At the  underwriter's  election,  it may  underwrite an additional  180,000
shares and or 274,500 Warrants if market  conditions  permit.  The common shares
would be sold by HAC, with the net proceeds to be received by HAC.

     The Offering is subject to certain conditions,  as defined in the letter of
intent.  There  can be no  assurance  that  this  proposed  transaction  will be
completed.

     In late November  1997,  HAC  transferred  85,000 shares of Common Stock to
certain  employees  and  directors  of the  Company and an  individual  who is a
preferred  shareholder  and a member of HAC.  Such transfer is to be treated for
accounting purposes as if such shares were issued by the Company as compensation
to such persons.  The Company has recorded  deferred  compensation  equal to the
fair market value of the shares and will amortize this balance over the two-year
period during which the shares are subject to forfeiture by the transferees. The
Company  recorded stock  compensation  expense of $22,000 for the thirteen weeks
ended January 31, 1998.

     4. Stock Option Plan and Preferred Stock

     Stock Option Plan

     In  conjunction  with  the  Reorganization  Plan,  the  Company's  Board of
Directors approved the Harvey Electronics, Inc. Stock Option Plan ("Stock Option
Plan").  The Stock Option Plan is subject to  shareholder  approval and provides
for the granting of up to 1,000,000 shares of incentive and non-qualified common
stock options and stock appreciation  rights to certain directors,  officers and
key employees.  On December 5, 1997, the Company's Compensation and Stock Option
Committee of the Board of Directors  approved a grant,  as of the effective date
of the  Offering,  of 70,000  incentive  stock  options to many of the Company's
employees to purchase the Company's Common Stock  exercisable as to one-third of
such shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share commencing one year from the
effective  date;  one-third of such shares at an exercise  price $5.50 per share
commencing two years from the effective date and the remaining one-third of such
shares at $6.00 per share commencing three years from the effective date.

     8.5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock

     The Company's Preferred Stock has no voting rights and is redeemable at the
option of the  Company's  Board of  Directors  in whole or in part at face value
plus any  accrued  dividends.  The  carrying  value of the  Preferred  Stock was
estimated  to be $402,037 at January 31,  1998,  with an  aggregate  liquidation
preference of $875,000.

     The Preferred Stock may be converted at the option of the holder,  in whole
or in  part,  as  follows:  (i) the  first  50% of the  Preferred  Stock  can be
converted at $6.00 per share, and (ii)


                                       10

     4. Stock Option Plan and Preferred Stock (continued)

the balance is convertible at $7.50 per share.  Beginning  January 1, 2001,
the Preferred Stock is convertible at the average closing price, as defined,  of
the Company's Common Stock for the preceding 45 day period.

     The Preferred Stock also contained a redemption feature whereby such shares
would be redeemed on December 31, 2000. In December 1997, the redemption feature
was eliminated and the holders of the Preferred  Stock received  36,458 Warrants
(valued at  approximately  $6,000) with terms  equivalent to the Warrants in the
Offering, (see Note 3). The unaudited balance sheet at January 31, 1998 has been
presented to reflect the Preferred Stock in shareholder's equity, as a result of
the removal of the redemption feature.

     Accumulated  Preferred Stock  dividends  payable of $88,979 are outstanding
and were recorded as a long-term  liability at January 31, 1998. Such dividends,
along with the accretion of the redeemable  Preferred Stock,  were recorded as a
reduction of retained earnings at January 31, 1998.

     5. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share

     In 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earning per Share ("FASB No. 128"). FASB
No. 128 replaced the previously  reported primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with basic and diluted  earnings  per share.  Unlike  primary  earning per
share,  basic  earnings  per share  excludes  any  dilutive  effects of options,
warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar
to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. The Company adopted
FASB No. 128 in the first  quarter of fiscal 1998 and as a result,  all earnings
per share  amounts for all periods  have been  presented,  and where  necessary,
restated to conform to the FASB No. 128 requirements.

     6. Inventories

     Inventories have been valued based upon gross profit percentages applied to
sales.

     The following discussion and analysis contains  forward-looking  statements
which involve risks and uncertainties. When used herein, the words "anticipate,"
"believe,"  "estimate,"  and "expect" and similar  expressions as they relate to
the Company or its  management  are  intended to identify  such  forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The Company's  actual results,  performance or  achievements  could differ
materially  from the results  expressed  in or implied by these  forward-looking
statements.  Historical  results  are not  necessarily  indicative  of trends in
operating  results for any future  period.  Readers are  cautioned  not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the
date the statement was made.

     General

     On November 13, 1996,  the Company  emerged from its Chapter 11  Bankruptcy
proceeding.  The Company's  Reorganization Plan provided that the Company change
its fiscal  year end from the  Saturday  closed to  January  31 to the  Saturday
closest to October 31. On October 26,  1996,  the  Company  adopted  Fresh Start
Reporting.  The  following  discussion  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Company's audited financial  statements for the fifty-three weeks ended November
1, 1997 and the thirty-nine week period ended October 26, 1996,  included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB.

     Thirteen  Weeks Ended January 31, 1998 as Compared to Fourteen  Weeks Ended
February 1, 1997

     The fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 is a fifty-two week year as compared
to fifty-three weeks for the prior year.

     Net Income (loss). Net income for the thirteen weeks ended January 31, 1998
was $130,217 as compared to a net loss of $225,059 for the fourteen  weeks ended
February 1, 1997.

     Revenues. Net Sales for the thirteen weeks ended January 31, 1998 increased
6.6% or $303,000  over the  fourteen  weeks ended  February 1, 1997.  Comparable
store sales for the first  quarter  ended  January 31, 1998  increased  20.9% or
$742,000  from the same period last year.  The first  quarter  ended January 31,
1998  includes  sales from three mature  stores and the new store in  Greenwich,
Connecticut,  which opened in January 1997.  The same quarter last year included
sales from four mature stores and the Greenwich,  Connecticut store for only one
month.  One retail  store was  closed in  February  1997.  The  increase  in the
Company's  sales is  attributed to increases in the volume of goods and services
sold and to a lesser extent,  changes in product lines.  The prices of its goods
have remained relatively constant.  The Company's sales continue to benefit from
the successful marketing campaign where emphasis is placed on the quality of its
manufacturers'  products,  new technologies,  service and custom installation of
home theater and multi-room audio/video systems.

     The Company offers its customers who qualify, a Harvey credit card which is
issued  by  an  unrelated  finance  company.  The  Company  continuously  offers
consumers  using the Harvey credit card 90 days  interest-free  financing on any
purchases. As a promotion, the Company,

                                       12


<PAGE>



     Thirteen  Weeks Ended January 31, 1998 as Compared to Fourteen  Weeks Ended
February 1, 1997 (continued)

from time to time, offers consumers using the Harvey credit card attractive
financing  alternatives  of 6 or 12 month  interest-free  financing  on specific
products.  The Company  pays the finance  company a fee in  connection  with all
interest-free  financing  which is a percentage on such sales.  For the thirteen
weeks ended January 31, 1998, the cost to the Company,  net of  contributions to
the  Company  made  by  manufacturers,  for  the 6 or  12  month  financing  was
approximately $12,000.

     Costs and  Expenses.  Total  cost of sales  for the  thirteen  weeks  ended
January  31,  1998  increased  2.8% or $80,000  from the  fourteen  weeks  ended
February 1, 1997.  This was primarily the result of increased  sales,  offset by
improved gross profit margins.

     Gross profit  margin for the first quarter ended January 31, 1998 was 38.5%
as compared to 36.2% for the same  quarter last year.  The gross  profit  margin
improved as a result of increased  custom  installation  sales which have higher
gross profit margins.  Additionally, an increase was realized from merchandising
changes  started  in  fiscal  1997,   where  higher  margin  products  from  new
manufacturers were added and lower margin products were eliminated. Finally, the
marketing  campaign for the first quarter in fiscal 1998 placed less emphasis on
price sensitive advertisements as compared to the same quarter last year.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses for the thirteen weeks ended
January 31, 1998  decreased  5.8% or $102,000 as compared to the fourteen  weeks
ended February 1, 1997.  Comparable  store selling,  general and  administrative
expenses  for the first  quarter  decreased  approximately  1.6% or  $23,000  as
compared to the same quarter last year.  The  thirteen  weeks ended  January 31,
1998 includes net advertising  expense of $43,000 as compared to $75,000 for the
fourteen weeks ended  February 1, 1997.  Additionally,  occupancy  costs for the
thirteen  weeks  ended  January 31, 1998  decreased  19.6% or $83,000.  This was
primarily the result of a reduction in warehouse  space beginning in fiscal 1998
and from the closing of a retail  store in February  1997.  The  thirteen  weeks
ended  January 31, 1998 also includes  non-cash  stock  compensation  expense of
$22,000. No stock compensation  expense was recorded in the fourteen weeks ended
February 1, 1997.

     Interest  expense for the thirteen  weeks ended January 31, 1998  decreased
20.4% or $23,000 as compared to the fourteen weeks ended February 1, 1997.  This
decrease was primarily due to the elimination of debtor-in-possession  financing
which was outstanding through December 1996 of the prior year's quarter,  offset
by  additional  interest on the revolving  line of credit  facility and the term
loan from a  preferred  stockholder  and member of HAC.  This term loan was made
available to the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On November 13, 1996,  the Court  confirmed the  Reorganization  Plan.  The
effective  date of the  Reorganization  Plan was December  26,  1996,  which was
within the first quarter of the prior year. Refer to the Company's annual report
on Form 10-KSB for further information on the Reorganization Plan.

                                       13

     Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

     The Company's  ratio of current assets to current  liabilities  was 1.58 at
January 31, 1998 as  compared to 1.41 at November 1, 1997.  The  increase in the
current  ratio at January 31, 1998 was primarily the result of the Company's net
profit.

     Net cash provided by investing  activities was  approximately  $183,000 for
the  thirteen  weeks ended  January 31, 1998,  which  related to the purchase of
property,  equipment and other assets offset by the proceeds from the redemption
of a certificate of deposit.

     Financing  activities  resulted in an increase in net cash of approximately
$50,000  for the  thirteen  weeks ended  January 31,  1998.  This  increase  was
primarily the result of additional net borrowings from the new revolving line of
credit  facility,  offset by costs relating to the Company's  refinancing of its
previous line of credit facility and from proposed offering costs  approximating
$86,000.

     On November 5, 1997, the Company  entered into a three-year  revolving line
of credit facility with Paragon Capital L.L.C.  ("Paragon")  whereby the Company
may borrow up to $3,300,000 based upon a lending formula (as defined) calculated
on eligible  inventory.  Proceeds  from Paragon were used to pay down and cancel
the existing credit facility with Congress Financial  Corporation  ("Congress"),
reduce trade  payables  and pay related  costs of the  refinancing.  The Paragon
facility  provides an improved  advance rate of the  Company's  inventory  which
resulted in additional net financing of approximately  $750,000 (after expenses)
compared to the Company's previous facility with Congress.  The interest rate on
borrowings  up to  $2,500,000  is 1% over the prime  rate.  The rate  charged on
outstanding balances over $2,500,000 is 1.75% above the prime rate. A commitment
fee of  $49,500  was  paid by the  Company  at  closing  and a  facility  fee of
three-quarters  of one percent (.75%) of the maximum credit line will be charged
in each year. Monthly maintenance charges and a termination fee also exist under
the line of credit. The Company also paid an early termination fee of $30,000 to
Congress.

     The maximum amount of borrowing available to the Company under this line is
limited to formulas  prescribed in the loan  agreement.  The  Company's  maximum
borrowing  availability is equal to 75% of acceptable inventory,  minus the then
unpaid  principal  balance  of the  loan,  minus  the  then  aggregate  of  such
availability  reserves as may have been  established by Paragon,  minus the then
outstanding stated amount of any letters of credit.

     Pursuant to the credit  facility,  the Company must maintain certain levels
of inventory,  trade accounts payable,  inventory purchases,  net income or loss
and  minimum  gross  profit  margins.   Additionally,   the  Company's   capital
expenditures,  assuming no retail store  expansion,  may not exceed $125,000 for
fiscal 1998.

     Paragon  obtained a senior security  interest in  substantially  all of the
Company's  assets.  The revolving line of credit facility  provides Paragon with
rights of  acceleration  upon the breach of certain  financial  covenants or the
occurrence of certain customary events of default  including,  among others, the
event of bankruptcy. The Company is also restricted from


                                       14




<PAGE>



     Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

paying  dividends  on Common  Stock,  retiring or  repurchasing  its Common
Stock, and entering into additional indebtedness (as defined).

     Paragon also received a warrant to purchase  125,000 shares of Common Stock
subject to  adjustment,  which is currently  exercisable at a price of $5.50 per
share and expires April 3, 2001.

     The amount  outstanding under the Paragon revolving line of credit facility
as of March 6, 1998 is approximately $2,191,000.

     On  September  15,  1997,  the  Company  signed a letter of intent  with an
underwriter  to sell common  stock and  warrants to purchase  common  stock in a
public  offering (the  "Offering") . The  underwriter  proposes to co-manage and
underwrite  an offering of 1,200,000  shares of the  Company's  common stock and
1,830,000 of warrants ("Warrants") to acquire additional shares of Common Stock.
1,025,000  shares would be sold by the Company and 175,000  shares would be sold
by Harvey Acquisition Company,  LLC ("HAC"),  the selling majority  shareholder,
with the  proceeds to be received by HAC.  The net  proceeds  from the  proposed
Offering will be used for the  expansion or  acquisition  of  additional  retail
stores and for working capital purposes.

     At the  underwriter's  election,  it may  underwrite an additional  180,000
shares and or 274,500 Warrants if market  conditions  permit.  The common shares
would be sold by HAC with the proceeds to be received by HAC.

     The Offering is subject to certain conditions,  as defined in the letter of
intent.  There  can be no  assurance  that  this  proposed  transaction  will be
completed (see Note 3 to the financial statements for additional information).

     The Company's management believes that the Company's overhead structure has
the capacity to support additional stores without  significant  increase in cost
and personnel,  and, consequently,  the revenues and profit from new stores will
have a positive impact on the Company's operations.  Based on such belief of the
Company's  management,  the Company intends to utilize the net proceeds from the
proposed Offering to open four new retail stores.

     The Company's  management estimates that the total cost of opening a retail
store is $650,000, or $3,250,000 for the five planned stores. The estimated cost
of opening each new store includes the cost of leasehold improvements, including
design and decoration, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, security
deposits,  opening  inventory  (net  of the  portion  to be  borrowed  from  the
Company's  lender),   lease  acquisition   expenses,   preopening  expenses  and
additional advertising and promotion in connection with the opening.

     As an alternative  to leasing and  developing new stores,  the Company will
consider   acquiring   the   business   of   existing   electronics   retailers.
Notwithstanding,  the  Company is not  engaged in any  negotiations  and has not
signed any agreement regarding any such potential acquisition.

                                       15




<PAGE>



     Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

     Despite net income in the first quarter of fiscal 1998,  management can not
predict  whether  this  trend will  continue,  or whether  the  proposed  public
offering will be consummated,  and therefore whether the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern. However,  management believes that the net proceeds
from the  proposed  Offering,  plus  cash flow from  operations  and funds  made
available  under the credit  facility,  will be sufficient to meet the Company's
anticipated  working  capital needs and expansion plan for the next twelve month
period.

     During the periods presented, the Company was not significantly impacted by
the effects of inflation or seasonally.
