     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.

     Operating  results  for the six  month  period  ended  May 1,  1999 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
October 30, 1999. 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 October 31, 1998.

     The preparation of the financial  statements,  in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principals,  requires  management  to make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  effect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosures at the date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates and assumptions.

     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.

     2. Retail Store Openings

     On July 2, 1998,  as a part of its  expansion  plan,  the Company  acquired
certain assets and business of the Sound Mill, Inc. and its  subsidiary,  Loriel
Custom  Audio/Video  Corporation  (the  "Sound  Mill"),  a  retailer  and custom
installer of specialty high-end  audio/video products for twenty-nine years with
one store located in Mt. Kisco, in Northern  Westchester County, New York, for a
purchase price of $200,000 (as adjusted) in cash. The  acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based
upon  the fair  values  on the  date of  acquisition  as  follows:  $50,000  for
leasehold improvements,  equipment,  vehicles and tools and $150,000 for cost in
excess of net assets acquired which is being  amortized over a  twenty-five-year
period. The Company also signed a ten-year lease with a five-year renewal option
for the 3,100 square foot retail store operated by the Sound Mill. This property
is owned by the former principals of the Sound Mill. The store was renovated

for  a  November,  1998  grand  re-opening.  Accordingly,  the  results  of
operations for this new store have been included in the Company's operations for
the six and three month periods ended May 1, 1999.  Pro-forma  sales, net income
and basic and diluted earnings per share would not have been considered material
for the six and three month periods ended May 2, 1998.

     On August 11, 1998,  the Company  signed a ten-year  lease with a five-year
renewal   option   for  its  new  4,600   square   foot   retail   showroom   in
Greenvale/Roslyn,  on the north shore of Long Island,  New York. This new retail
store also opened in November,  1998.  Its results of operations  have also been
included in the Company's  operations  for the six and three months ended May 1,
1999.

     3. Planned Opening of a Bang & Olufsen Branded Store

     Bang & Olufsen  products have been sold by the Company since 1980,  and the
line represented  approximately  $565,000 or 4.9% of the Company's net sales for
the six month period ended May 1, 1999.  Bang & Olufsen has decided that it will
now  focus on  developing  Bang & Olufsen  licensed  stores  ("Branded  Stores")
throughout  the world.  Bang & Olufsen  has,  accordingly,  canceled  its dealer
agreement  with  the  Company  and,  with one  exception,  all  other  retailers
effective  May 31,  1999.  After  this  date,  Bang & Olufsen  products  will be
available only in Branded Stores.

     The Company has received a commitment from Bang & Olufsen  permitting,  but
not requiring, the Company to open Branded Stores in Manhattan,  Long Island and
Connecticut. Pursuant to this commitment, the Company must complete construction
of these  locations at various dates through  November 2000.  Bang & Olufsen has
authorized the Company to open up to five Branded Stores.

     On January 7, 1999, as part of its  expansion  plan in the New York region,
the Company signed a lease and a related Prime Site Marketing  Agreement to open
a new 1,500 square foot Bang & Olufsen  Branded  Store in the Union Square area,
in lower Manhattan. The Company plans to open this new store in July, 1999. This
will be the  Company's  seventh  store  and will be the third  opened  since its
successful public offering, completed in April, 1998.

     4. Segment Disclosures

     Effective  November 1, 1998, the Company  adopted the Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board's  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information  ("Statement
131").  Statement 131 superseded FASB Statement No. 14, Financial  Reporting for
Segments of a Business Enterprise.  Statement 131 establishes  standards for the
way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements

                                        9


<PAGE>


     4. Segment Disclosures (continued)

and requires  that those  enterprises  report  selected  information  about
operating segments in interim financial reports.  Statement 131 also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas,
and major  customers.  The adoption of Statement  131 did not affect  results of
operations or financial position,  and did not require the disclosure of segment
information.

     5. Income Per Share

     In 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128
replaced the  calculation  of primary and fully diluted  earnings per share with
basic and diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings 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. Earnings per share amounts
for  all  periods  have  been   presented  and  conform  to  the  SFAS  No.  128
requirements.

     The basic income per common  share for the  twenty-six  and thirteen  weeks
ended May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998 was  computed  based on the  weighted  average
number of common  shares  outstanding.  Common  equivalent  shares  relating  to
employee  stock  options,  aggregating  64,056,  were  included in the  weighted
average  number of common  shares  outstanding  for diluted  earnings per share.
Common equivalent shares of approximately 131,250, relating to the conversion of
Preferred  Stock,  were not considered since their conversion rates were greater
than the fair market value of the Company's common stock.

     6. Income Taxes

     In  connection  with  the  Company's   emergence  from  its  reorganization
proceeding under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on December 26,
1996,  the Company  adopted  Fresh Start  Accounting  in  accordance  with AICPA
Statement of Position 90-7,  "Financial  Reporting by Entities in Reorganization
under the  Bankruptcy  Code." Fresh Start  Reporting  requires  that the Company
report an income  tax  equivalent  provision  when  there is book  income  and a
pre-reorganization  net operating loss  carryforward.  This requirement  applies
despite  the fact  that the  Company's  pre-reorganization  net  operating  loss
carryforward  will be  utilized to reduce the related  income tax  payable.  The
current  and  any  future  year  benefit   arising  from   utilization   of  the
pre-reorganization  carryforward  is not  reflected  as a  reduction  of the tax
equivalent provision in determining net income, but instead is recorded first as
a  reduction  of  reorganization   value  in  excess  of  amounts  allocable  to
identifiable  assets until  exhausted  and  thereafter  as a direct  addition to
paid-in-capital.





                                       10

     6. Income Taxes (continued)

     The  income  tax  equivalent  provision  and the  associated  reduction  of
reorganization  value in excess of amounts  allocable  to  identifiable  assets,
recorded in the Company's first fiscal quarter of 1999 aggregating  $40,000, was
reversed  in the  Company's  second  fiscal  quarter  of 1999.  The  income  tax
equivalent  benefit recorded in the second quarter does not affect the Company's
tax liability or cash flows.

     General

     The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial  statements for the fifty-two weeks ended October 31, 1998 and
the fifty-three  weeks ended November 1, 1997,  included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.

     Twenty-Six  and Thirteen  Weeks Ended May 1, 1999 as Compared to Twenty-Six
and Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, 1998

     Net income.  The  Company's net income for the six months ended May 1, 1999
increased  to  $251,302 as compared to net income of $55,670 for the same period
last year.  The net loss for the three  months  ended May 1, 1999 was $79,368 as
compared to $74,547 for the same quarter  last year.  The results of the six and
three  month  periods  ended  May  1,  1999  include  approximately  $45,000  of
preoperating  expenses  relating to the new Bang & Olufsen store to be opened in
the Union Square area of lower  Manhattan in July 1999. All of the Company's six
retail stores were profitable for the six months ended May 1, 1999.

     Net sales for the six months ended May 1, 1999, aggregated $11,423,000,  an
increase  of  approximately  $2,489,000  or 28% from the same  period last year.
Comparable  store  sales  for  the  six  months  ended  May 1,  1999,  increased
approximately $786,000 or 9% from the same period last year.

     Net sales  for the  second  fiscal  quarter  ended  May 1, 1999  aggregated
$5,015,000,  an  increase  of  approximately  $950,000 or 23% as compared to the
second  quarter of fiscal  1998.  Comparable  store sales for the second  fiscal
quarter  ended May 1, 1999  increased  $197,000 or 5% from the same quarter last
year.

     Sales increased as the Company,  in November 1998,  successfully opened two
new  retail  store  locations  in  Mt.  Kisco,  in  Westchester  County  and  in
Greenvale/Roslyn,  on the north shore of Long Island.  The  revenues  from these
locations, together with an increase in same store sales primarily accounted for
the significant sales increases.  The Company also continues to benefit from new
digital technologies which have been embraced by the

and Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, 1998 (continued)

     Company's  upscale clients and  additionally  from increased  demand of its
custom installation  services. The increase in the Company's sales is attributed
to the  volume of goods and  services  sold and to a lesser  extent,  changes in
product lines or prices.

     Custom   installation   services   continue   to  expand  and  account  for
approximately 24% of net sales for the six months ended May 1, 1999, as compared
to 22% for the same period last year.

     Costs and  Expenses.  Total cost of sales for the six  months  ended May 1,
1999 increased  approximately  $1,399,000 or 26% from the same period last year.
Cost of sales for the second  quarter  of fiscal  1999  increased  approximately
$519,000 or 21% from the same quarter in fiscal  1998.  This was  primarily  the
result of increased sales, offset by improved gross profit margins.

     The gross profit  margin for the second  fiscal  quarter  ended May 1, 1999
increased to 40.4% from 39.2% for the same quarter in fiscal 1998.  Gross profit
margin for the six months  ended May 1, 1999  increased  to 39.9% from 38.8% for
the same period last year. The gross margin  increased  primarily from increased
custom  installation  sales and  additional  sales of new  products  such as DVD
players, high definition (HDTV) and plasma flat-screen televisions,  which enjoy
higher  gross  margins.  The  Company's  advertising  campaign  also placed less
emphasis on price sensitive  advertisements  during fiscal 1999.  Sales training
efforts  and  merchandising  emphasis  on the sale of  higher  margin  inventory
categories and accessories have also helped to increase gross profit margins.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses ("SG&A expenses")  increased
30.6% or  approximately  $1,006,000  for the six months  ended May 1,  1999,  as
compared to the same  period  last year.  SG&A  expenses  for the second  fiscal
quarter ended May 1, 1999 increased  approximately $508,000 or 31.4% as compared
to the second quarter last year.  Comparable store SG&A expenses increased 12.9%
(approximately  $422,000)  and 13.2%  (approximately  $213,000)  for the six and
three month  periods,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods last year.
Total SG&A expenses increased primarily from the two new retail stores opened in
November 1998.  Comparable store SG&A expenses increased from additional payroll
and payroll related items,  occupancy costs,  professional  expenses,  insurance
costs and various store operating  expenses including costs of offering extended
interest-free financing to its customers.  These increases were partially offset
by reduced advertising and stock compensation expenses.

     Interest  expense  decreased  approximately  $105,000  or 64.6% for the six
months  ended May 1, 1999,  as compared  to the same period last year.  Interest
expenses for the second fiscal quarter ended May 1, 1999 decreased approximately
$38,000 or 52.9% from the second  quarter  last year.  The  decrease in interest
expense was primarily due to the

and Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, 1998 (continued)

elimination  of outstanding  borrowings  under the revolving line of credit
facility  through  February  1999,  as a result  of the  paydown  of the  credit
facility in April 1998 using part of the net proceeds from the public  offering.
In March 1999,  the Company  began to borrow  funds from its  revolving  line of
credit facility.

     See Note 6 to the unaudited financial statements,  regarding the income tax
equivalent benefit for the second quarter ended May 1, 1999.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  ratio of current assets to current  liabilities was 2.26, or
approximately  $2,858,000 at May 1, 1999 as compared to 1.91,  or  approximately
$2,355,000,  at October 31, 1998.  The  increase in the current  ratio at May 1,
1999 was  primarily  the result of the  Company's net income for the six months,
coupled  with an increase in  inventory  and a decrease in accounts  payable and
accrued  expenses.  The decreases in accounts  payable and accrued expenses were
funded by the Company's  revolving line of credit facility,  which is classified
as long-term debt as of May 1, 1999.

     Net cash used in operating  activities was  approximately  $184,000 for the
first six months of fiscal 1999 as compared to cash used in operating activities
of approximately $459,000 for the same period last year. The improvement in cash
used in operating  activities  was primarily due to the Company's  increased net
income.

     Net cash used in  investing  activities  for the first six months of fiscal
1999  was   approximately   $463,000  as  compared  to  net  cash   provided  of
approximately  $171,000  for the same  period  last year.  Net cash used for the
first six  months of  fiscal  1999 was due  primarily  to  capital  expenditures
($434,000)  relating  to all new store  openings.  In fiscal  1998,  the Company
benefited from the redemption of a $200,000 certificate of deposit.

     Net cash provided from financing activities was approximately  $461,000 for
the first six months of fiscal 1999 as compared  with  approximately  $1,793,000
for the same period last year.  In March 1999,  the Company began to borrow cash
from its revolving line of credit facility and borrowed  approximately  $610,000
as of May 1, 1999. The increase in cash from financing  activities for the first
six months in fiscal 1998 was primarily from the net proceeds from the Company's
successful public offering,  offset by the repayment of the Company's  revolving
line of credit facility and a term loan.

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



                                       13

     Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

     The Paragon  facility  provides an improved  advance rate on the  Company's
inventory,  as  compared  to  the  Company's  previous  facility  with  Congress
Financial Corporation. The interest rate on borrowings up to $2,500,000 is 1% in
excess of the rate of interest  announced  publicly by Norwest Bank,  Minnesota,
National Association,  from time to time as its "prime rate" (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
(which is being  amortized  over three  years) and a facility  fee  ($24,750) 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.  At June 14, 1999,  borrowings  under the Paragon  revolving
line of credit facility approximated $857,000.

     The maximum  amount of borrowings  available to the Company under this line
of credit is limited to formulas prescribed in the loan agreement. The Company's
maximum borrowing  availability is equal to 73% of acceptable  inventory,  minus
the then unpaid  principal  balance of the loan, minus the then aggregate of any
available  reserves  as may have been  established  by  Paragon,  minus the then
outstanding stated amount of all 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 can not exceed a predetermined amount.

     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  covenant  or the
occurrence of certain customary events of default  including,  among others, the
event of bankruptcy.  The Company is also  restricted  from 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
at an exercise  price of $5.50 per share  subject to  adjustment  under  certain
circumstances,  which is  currently  exercisable  and  expires on April 3, 2001,
Paragon's  warrant and the underlying  shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act.

     In April, 1998, the Company completed a public offering ("Offering") of its
common stock and common stock purchase warrants.  The Offering was co-managed by
The  Thornwater  Company,  L.P.,  which sold  1,200,000  shares of the Company's
common  stock of which  1,025,000  shares  were sold by the  Company and 175,000
shares  were  sold by Harvey  Acquisition  Company,  LLC,  the  Company's  major
shareholder.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

     2,104,500  Warrants to acquire  additional  shares of the Company's  common
stock  were  also  sold by the  Company.  The net  proceeds  from the  Offering,
approximately  $4.1  million,  were used for retail store  expansion and general
working capital purposes.

     Each Warrant is exerisable for one share of common stock at 110% ($5.50 per
share) of the Offering price,  for a period of three years  commencing March 31,
2000. The Warrants are also  redeemable (at $.10 per Warrant),  at the Company's
option,  commencing  March 31, 2000 if the closing bid price of the common stock
for 20 consecutive  trading days exceeds 150% of the Offering price per share or
$7.50.

     The Company's management believes that the Company's overhead structure has
the capacity to support additional stores without significant  increases in cost
and personnel, and, consequently,  that revenues and profit from new stores will
have a positive  impact on the Company's  operations.  This was realized for the
two new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

     As Bang & Olufsen  focuses on developing  Bang & Olufsen  licensed  branded
stores  ("Branded  Stores")  throughout  the world,  it has  canceled its dealer
agreement  with  the  Company  and,  with one  exception,  all  other  retailers
effective May 31, 1999.  After this date,  Bang & Olufsen  products will only be
available in Branded Stores.

     The Company received a commitment from Bang & Olufsen  permitting,  but not
requiring,  the Company to open  Branded  Stores in  Manhattan,  Long Island and
Connecticut. Pursuant to this commitment, the Company must complete construction
of these  locations at various dates through  November 2000. No assurance can be
given about the number of Branded  Stores that the  Company  will open.  Capital
expenditures  necessary for each 1,500 square foot store,  including  inventory,
should approximate $300,000.

     On January 7, 1999, as part of its expansion  plan in New York region,  the
Company  signed a lease and a related Prime Site  Marketing  Agreement to open a
new 1,500  square foot Bang & Olufsen  Brand  Store in the Union  Square area in
lower Manhattan. The Company plans to open this new store in July 1999.

     This  Branded  Store will be the first of two stores the  Company  plans to
open in Manhattan.  There is currently no location, lease agreement or timetable
for  the  second  Bang  &  Olufsen  store.   The  new  store  will  sell  highly
differentiated  Bang &  Olufsen  products,  including  uniquely  designed  audio
systems,  speakers,  telephones,  headphones and  accessories and other approved
non-Bang  & Olufsen  products.  The store will also  offer  professional  custom
installation of multi-room audio and home theater  systems.  This new store will
be the  Company's  seventh,  and  will  be the  third  store  opened  since  its
successful public offering, completed in April 1998.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

     The Company seeks to open an  additional  Harvey  Electronics  store in New
Jersey within the next eighteen months, if the appropriate  location or existing
business can be obtained. The Company estimates that the total cost of opening a
new Harvey  Electronics  retail store is approximately  $650,000.  The estimated
cost  of  opening  this  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),  legal  expense,  preopening  expenses and
additional advertising and promotion in connection with the opening.

     Management  believes that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and funds
made  available  under the credit  facility with Paragon,  will be sufficient to
meet the Company's  anticipated  working capital needs and expansion plan for at
least the next twelve month period.

     During the periods presented, the Company was not significantly impacted by
the effects of inflation. The Company did benefit from a strong Christmas demand
in December, 1998.

     Year 2000 Modifications

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable  year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have  date-sensitive  software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather that the year 2000.  This could  result in systems
     failures or miscalculations  causing disruptions of operations,  including,
among
other things, a temporary inability to process  transactions,  send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.

     Based  on  recent  assessments,  the  Company  determined  that  it will be
required to modify  significant  portions  of it software so that those  systems
will properly  utilize  dates beyond  December 31, 1999.  The Company  presently
believes that with modifications of its existing  software,  the Year 2000 Issue
can be  mitigated.  As a result,  the  Company  has  formulated  a plan with its
software and service  provider called Rescue 2000, to make all  modifications to
twelve operating modules in its software systems. As of June 1, 1999, all of the
core module modifications have been completed,  implemented and tested. The only
remaining  modification is the upgrade of the Company's operating system,  which
the Company will be performed before September 30, 1999.

     The  Company's  plan to resolve the Year 2000 Issue  involves the following
four phases: assessment,  remediation, testing and implementation. As of June 1,
1999,  the Company has fully  completed its assessment of all systems that could
be significantly  affected by the Year 2000. The completed  assessment indicated
that most of the Company's significant  information  technology systems could be
affected,  particularly the general ledger,  billing and inventory systems.  The
Company does not believe that the Year 2000  presents a material  exposure as it
relates to the  Company's  products.  To date,  the  Company is not aware of any

external  agent with a Year 2000 issue  that  would  materially  impact the
Company's results of operations,  liquidity or capital resources.  However,  the
Company has no means of ensuring that  external  agents will be Year 2000 ready.
The inability of external agents to complete their Year 2000 resolution  process
in a  timely  fashion  could  materially  and  adversely  impact  the  Company's
operations.

     The Company  will utilize its  external  software  and service  provider to
complete any additional  remaining Year 2000  modifications  or system upgrades,
the remaining cost of which is not expected to be significant.  The Company will
