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  nine  month  period  ended  July  31,  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

In July 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  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
thenine and three month periods ended July 31, 1999. Pro-forma sales, net income
and diluted loss per share would not have been considered  material for the nine
and three month periods ended August 1, 1998.

In August 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 nine and three months ended July 31, 1999.

Bang & Olufsen products have been sold by the Company since 1980. 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. Since this date, Bang & Olufsen products
are available only in Branded Stores.  For the period prior to May 31, 1999, the
line represented  approximately  $628,000 or 3.9% of the Company's net sales for
the nine month period ended July 31, 1999.

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,  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 of lower  Manhattan.  The Company opened this new store
in July, 1999. All related  preoperating  expenses and results of operations for
July 1999,  have been  included in the Company's  results of operations  for the
nine and three months ended July 31, 1999.  This is the Company's  seventh store
and is the third  opened  since its  successful  public  offering,  completed in
April, 1998.

3. 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  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 the Company's  results of  operations or financial  position,
and did not require the disclosure of segment information.

4. Loss 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 and diluted  loss per common  share for the  thirty-nine  and thirteen
weeks  ended  July 31,  1999 and  August 1,  1998,  were  computed  based on the
weighted average number of common shares  outstanding.  Common equivalent shares
were not included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as
their  effect  was  antidilutive.  Common  equivalent  shares  of  approximately
131,250,  relating to the  conversion of Preferred  Stock,  were not  considered
since their conversion rates were also greater than the fair market value of the
Company's common stock, and thus antidilutive.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following management's  discussion and analysis and this Form 10-QSB contain
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

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.

Nine Months and Three  Months Ended July 31, 1999 as Compared to Nine Months and
Three Months Ended August 1, 1998

Net loss.  The  Company's  net loss for the nine months  ended July 31, 1999 was
approximately  $255,000 as compared to a net loss of  approximately  $92,000 for
the same period last year.  The net loss for the third fiscal quarter ended July
31, 1999 was  approximately  $506,000 as compared to approximately  $148,000 for
the same  quarter last year.  The net loss for the nine and three month  periods
include preoperating  expenses relating to the opening of the new Bang & Olufsen
store in the Union Square area of lower Manhattan of  approximately  $85,000 and
$40,000, respectively.

Net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1999,  aggregated  $16,272,000,  an
increase of  approximately  $3,130,000  or 23.8% from the same period last year.
Comparable  store  sales for the nine  months  ended  July 31,  1999,  increased
approximately $553,000 or 4.3% from the same period last year.

Net  sales  for the  third  fiscal  quarter  ended  July  31,  1999,  aggregated
$4,849,000,  an increase of  approximately  $641,000 or 15.2% as compared to the
third  quarter  of fiscal  1998.  Comparable  store  sales for the third  fiscal
quarter  ended July 31, 1999  decreased  $233,000 or 5.6% from the same  quarter
last year.

Net sales for the nine and three months ended July 31, 1999,  increased from the
addition of two new Harvey store locations in Mount Kisco in Westchester  County
and  Greenvale/Roslyn  on the North Shore of Long Island and from the new Bang &
Olufsen  branded  store opened in July 1999.  Net sales in fiscal 1999 have also
been positively affected by the Company's e-commerce efforts,  particularly with
product  offerings  on eBay  and  from an  increase  in  demand  for its  custom
installation  services.  Custom  installation  services  continue  to expand and
account for  approximately  25% of net sales for the nine months  ended July 31,
1999,  as compared to 23% for the same  period  last year.  The  increase in the
Company's  net sales is  attributed to the volume of goods and services sold and
to a lesser extent, changes in product lines or prices.

Comparable  store sales were down in the third  fiscal  quarter,  as a result of
lower sales levels in the months of June and  particularly in May, 1999.  July's
sales results were stronger due to  promotional  events,  including a successful
private sale.  Same store sales  comparisons  were also  negatively  affected by
strong year-earlier performance, when comparable store sales increased 18%.

Costs and Expenses.  Total cost of sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1999
increased approximately $1,778,000 or 21.9% from the same period last year. Cost
of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 increased  approximately  $379,000
or 14.2% 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 nine months  ended July 31, 1999  increased to
39.1% from 38.1% for the same  period  last year.  Gross  profit  margin for the
third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 1999,  increased to 37.3% from 36.8% for the
same  quarter in fiscal  1998.  The gross  profit  margin  continues to improve,
despite additional promotional activities in July 1999, as a result of increased
sales of new digital  technologies,  increased custom installation  services and
from a strong product mix. 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 32.1%
or approximately  $1,597,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 as compared
to the same period last year.  SG&A expenses for the third fiscal  quarter ended
July 31, 1999  increased  34.9% or $591,000  from the third  quarter  last year.
Comparable SG&A expenses increased 11.8% ($585,000) and 12.1% ($204,000) for the
nine and three month periods, respectively, as compared to the same periods last
year.  Total SG&A expenses  increased  primarily  from the two new Harvey stores
opened in November 1998, coupled with the preoperating  expenses and the opening
of the new Bang & Olufsen  store in July 1999.  Comparable  store SG&A  expenses
increased from additional  payroll and payroll related items,  occupancy  costs,
professional expenses,  insurance costs,  advertising expenses and various store
operating expenses including costs of offering extended interest-free  financing
to its customers.  In fiscal 1999, the Company has incurred  additional expenses
relating to the expansion of its custom  installation  business and its training
efforts.  These  increases were partially  offset by reduced stock  compensation
expenses.

Interest expense  decreased  approximately  $74,000 or 40.6% for the nine months
ended July 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year.  The decrease was
primarily due to the paydown of outstanding  borrowings under the revolving line
of credit facility  through February 1999, from the net proceeds from the public
offering.  Interest  expense  increased  approximately  $31,000 or 161.9% in the
third fiscal  quarter  ended July 31, 1999 from the same quarter last year.  The
increase was due to  borrowings  under the  revolving  line of credit  facility,
which  began in  March  1999.  In the  third  quarter  of  1998,  there  were no
borrowings under the revolving line of credit facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  ratio of current  assets to  current  liabilities  was 1.96,  or
approximately $2,298,000 at July 31, 1999, as compared to 1.91, or approximately
$2,355,000,  at October 31, 1998.  The slight  increase in the current ratio was
primarily  due to the reduction of accounts  payable,  offset by the use of cash
for the period.  The decreases in accounts  payable were funded by the Company's
revolving line of credit  facility,  which is classified as long-term debt as of
July 31, 1999.

Net cash used in operating  activities  was  approximately  $14,000 for the nine
months  ended  July 31,  1999,  as  compared  to net cash used of  approximately
$654,000  for the  same  period  last  year.  The  improvement  in cash  used in
operating  activities  was  primarily  due to a reduction in cash used in fiscal
1999 to pay down accrued  expenses  coupled with a decrease in prepaid  expenses
and offset by an increase in the net loss.

Net cash used in investing  activities was  approximately  $841,000 for the nine
months  ended July 31, 1999 as compared  to net cash  provided of  approximately
$105,000  for the same period in fiscal  1998.  Net cash used for the first nine
months of fiscal  1999 was due  primarily  to  capital  expenditures  ($797,000)
relating to three 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  $650,000 for the
nine months ended July 31, 1999 as compared to approximately  $1,705,000 for the
same period  last year.  In March  1999,  the  Company  began to borrow from its
revolving line of credit facility and borrowed approximately $913,000 as of July
31, 1999.  The  increase in cash from  financing  activities  for the first nine
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.  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  September  1, 1999,  borrowings  under the
Paragon revolving line of credit facility approximated $973,000.

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't 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).

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.  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.

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. Since this date, Bang & Olufsen products are 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 $350,000.

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 opened this new store in July 1999.

This  Branded  Store is 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 sells highly  differentiated  Bang &
Olufsen  products,   including   uniquely  designed  audio  systems,   speakers,
telephones,  headphones and  accessories  and other approved  non-Bang & Olufsen
products.  The store also offers  professional custom installation of multi-room
audio and home theater systems.  This new store is the Company's seventh, and is
the third store opened since its successful public offering,  completed in April
1998.

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.

The Company  intends to redirect  its  marketing  funds  beginning  in the first
fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2000. This  reallocation of funds will broaden the
Company's  media  presence  through  the use of  cable  and  network  television
advertising.

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 a system
failure 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 August  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 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 August 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  modification  or  system  upgrades,  the
remaining  cost of which is not  expected to be  significant.  The Company  will
evaluate that status of completion of the Year 2000  modifications  in September
1999 and will  undertake  all  remaining  necessary  steps to seek to ensure its
systems are Year 2000 compliant.
