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 and three month  periods ended April 29, 2000 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ending  October  28,  2000.  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 30, 1999.

The  preparation  of the  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect 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. New Retail Store Opening

On June 7, 2000, the Company signed a sublease and a related Dealer Agreement to
open a new 1600  square  foot Bang & Olufsen  ("B&O")  branded  retail  store in
Greenwich,  Connecticut.  This new retail  store will be the second B&O  branded
store opened by the Company.  The first B&O store was opened in July 1999 in the
Union  Square area of lower  Manhattan.  The Company  plans to open this new B&O
store in September 2000. The new store will be the Company's eighth.

3. Advertising Expense

In accordance with Statement of Position 93-7, "Reporting of Advertising Costs,"
the Company's advertising expense, net of cooperative advertising allowances, is
charged to operations when the advertising  first takes place. In November 1999,
the  Company  implemented  its new  advertising  campaign,  which  significantly
increased advertising expenditures. For the first time, the advertising campaign
utilized network and cable television  advertising.  Advertising expense for the
six  months  ended  April 29,  2000 and May 1, 1999 was  $480,000  and  $60,000,
respectively.  Advertising  expense  for the second  quarter of fiscal  2000 and
fiscal  1999 was  $130,000  and  $30,000,  respectively.  The  production  costs
relating to the Company's television  commercial  (approximating  $120,000) were
expensed in the first fiscal  quarter of 2000,  when such  commercial  was first
broadcast.

4. Per Share Information

Basic and diluted income (loss) per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS
No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share". The basic income (loss) per common share for the
six and three months ended April 29, 2000 and May 1, 1999 was computed  based on
the weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding.  For the six months
ended April 29, 2000 and May 1, 1999, common equivalent shares relating to stock
options,  aggregating  58,527 and  64,056,  respectively,  were  included in the
weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding for the diluted  earnings
per share computation.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2000, common equivalent
shares  relating  to stock  options  aggregating  67,599  were  included  in the
weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding for the diluted  earnings
per share  computation.  No common  equivalent  shares relating to stock options
were included in the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  for
the diluted earnings per share computation for the second quarter of fiscal 1999
as their affect was  anti-dilutive.  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, and thus anti-dilutive.

5. 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  Accounting  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.

5. Income Taxes (Continued)

For the six and three  months ended April 29,  2000,  the income tax  equivalent
provision  and the  associated  reduction of  reorganization  value in excess of
amounts  allocable to  identifiable  assets  amounted to $380,000 and  $120,000,
respectively.  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  quarter  of 1999  aggregating  $40,000,  was
reversed  in the  Company's  second  fiscal  quarter  of 1999.  The  income  tax
equivalent  provision for the six and three months ended April 29, 2000 will not
affect the Company's tax liability and does not require a cash payment.

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 30, 1999 and
October 31, 1998, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Twenty-Six and Thirteen Weeks Ended April 29, 2000 as Compared to Twenty-Six and
Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 1999

Net income.  The Company's pretax income for the six months ended April 29, 2000
increased 315% to  $1,042,652,  as compared to pretax income of $251,302 for the
same  period  last year.  Net income for the six  months  ended  April 29,  2000
increased  164% to $662,652  as compared to net income of $251,302  for the same
period last year.

The Company's  pretax income for the second fiscal  quarter ended April 29, 2000
increased 387% to $342,270 as compared to a pretax loss of $119,368 for the same
quarter  last  year.  Net income for the second  quarter  ended  April 29,  2000
increased  380% to  $222,270  as  compared to a net loss of $79,368 for the same
quarter last year.

The Company  recorded an income tax  equivalent  provision for the six and three
months ended April 29, 2000 of $380,000 and  $120,000  respectively.  The income
tax  equivalent  provision  of $40,000  recorded in the  Company's  first fiscal
quarter of 1999 was reversed in the Company's second fiscal quarter of 1999. The
income tax  equivalent  provision  for the six and three  months ended April 29,
2000 will not affect the Company's tax liability and does not require the use of
cash.

The  Company's net income for the six and three months ended April 29, 2000 also
includes advertising expense of $480,000 and $130,000, respectively, as compared
to only  $60,000  and  $30,000  for the same  periods  last year.  Approximately
$120,000 of production costs relating to the Company's television commercial was
recorded in the Company's  first fiscal quarter of 2000.  The  discussion  below
further explains the increase in net advertising expense.

Revenues.   For  the  six  months  ended  April  29,  2000,  net  sales  totaled
$18,421,679,  an increase of  $6,998,188  or 61% from the same period last year.
For the second fiscal quarter of 2000, net sales totaled $8,567,195, an increase
of $3,552,188 or 71% from the same quarter last year.

Twenty-Six and Thirteen Weeks Ended April 29, 2000 as Compared to Twenty-Six and
Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 1999 (continued)

Comparable  store  sales  for the six  months  ended  April 29,  2000  increased
approximately $5,468,000 or 48% from the same period last year. Comparable store
sales  for  the  second  fiscal  quarter  of  2000  increased  by  approximately
$2,919,000 or 59% from the same quarter last year.

Sales have  benefited  from the Company's new  advertising  campaign,  which was
implemented  in  November  1999.  This  successful  campaign  has  significantly
increased  advertising  expenditures,  which for the first time included network
and cable television advertising.  This television advertising  complimented the
Company's  larger  print  ads,  radio  commercials,  direct  mail  and  Internet
advertising.  Additionally, overall sales were positively affected by the strong
sales  performance  of our new Bang & Olufsen  store in lower  Manhattan,  which
opened in July  1999,  and to a lesser  extent,  the  additional  sales from our
product offerings on eBay.

The Company  experienced  strong sales increases in all of its retail locations.
Comparable   store  sales   benefited  from  strong  customer  demand  for  new,
higher-priced  digital products led by HDTV, HD ready projection sets and DVD as
well  as  flat-screen  plasma  televisions.  Our  custom  installation  business
continues  to grow as the  Company's  customers  opt  for our  quality,  in-home
installations  of  these  sophisticated  products  and  home  theaters.   Custom
installation services,  including related product, account for approximately 29%
of total  sales for the six months  ended  April 29, 2000 as compared to 24% for
the same period in fiscal 1999.

Each of the  Company's  new Harvey  retail  stores (in Mount Kisco,  Westchester
County and Greenvale,  Long Island, which opened in November 1998, the beginning
of fiscal  1999) have shown  significant  improvement  in their  second  year of
operations.  The improvement in sales at these two stores significantly impacted
comparable store sales for fiscal 2000.

Costs and Expenses.  Total cost of goods sold for the six months ended April 29,
2000 increased  $4,262,207 or 62% from the same period last year.  Cost of sales
for the second fiscal quarter of 2000 increased  $2,130,136 or 71% from the same
quarter last year. This was primarily due to the increase in sales, as discussed
above.

The gross  profit  margin for the six months  ended  April 29, 2000 was 39.6% as
compared to 39.9% for the same period last year. The gross profit margin for the
second  fiscal  quarter  of 2000 was  40.2% as  compared  to 40.4%  for the same
quarter last year.  The slight  decrease in the gross profit margin was due to a
change  in the mix of  products  sold,  primarily  the  increased  sale of video
products,  which  typically  have lower gross margins than audio  products.  The
increase in video sales was primarily due to additional  customer demand for new
technologies such as HDTV, DVD and plasma flat-screen televisions.  It should be
noted that sales of these new products do benefit from higher gross margins,  as
compared to commodity analog televisions and VCR's. For the six and three months
ended April 29, 2000, the Company's  sales of video  products  accounted for 30%
and 29%, respectively, of its net sales as compared to 25% and 23% respectively,
for the same periods last year.  Additionally,  the gross profit  margin for the
six and three month periods of fiscal 2000 was positively  affected by increased
custom installation income,  where higher margins were realized,  as compared to
the same periods last year.

Twenty-Six and Thirteen Weeks Ended April 29, 2000 as Compared to Twenty-Six and
Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 1999 (continued)

Selling,  general and administrative expenses ("SG&A expenses") increased 44% or
$1,869,347  for the six months  ended  April 29,  2000,  as compared to the same
period last year.  SG&A expenses for the second fiscal quarter of 2000 increased
43% or $926,978 from the same quarter last year.

Comparable  SG&A  expenses  for the six months  ended April 29,  2000  increased
approximately 36% or $1,546,000 from the same period last year.  Comparable SG&A
expenses for the second fiscal  quarter of 2000 increased  approximately  38% or
$785,000 from the same quarter last year.

In addition  to the  increase  in  advertising  expenses,  as noted  above,  the
increase in total SG&A expenses was also  affected by costs  relating to the new
Bang & Olufsen  store and  additionally  from costs  relating  to the  Company's
e-commerce   endeavors.   Comparable  SG&A  expenses  increased  primarily  from
additional  advertising costs,  payroll and payroll related items,  professional
expenses, depreciation expense and various store operating expenses. The Company
also  continues to incur  additional  expenses  relating to the expansion of its
custom installation business and its training efforts.

Interest  expense  for the six months  ended  April 29,  2000  increased  82% or
$47,549 as  compared  to the same  period  last year.  Interest  expense for the
second fiscal  quarter of 2000  increased 51% or $17,059 as compared to 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 first quarter of fiscal
1999, there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit facility.

In connection with the Company's  emergence from its reorganization  proceeding,
the Company adopted Fresh Start Accounting. Fresh Start Accounting 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   thereafter  as  a  direct  addition  to
paid-in-capital.

As noted above, during the six and three month periods ended April 29, 2000, the
income tax equivalent  provision and the associated  reduction of reorganization
value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets amounted to $380,000
and $120,000, respectively. This income tax equivalent provision does not affect
the Company's tax liability and does not require a cash payment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company's  ratio of current  assets to  current  liabilities  was 1.45,  or
$1,981,326  at April 29, 2000 as compared to 1.19,  or $925,197,  at October 30,
1999. At October 30, 1999, the balance outstanding under the Company's revolving
line of credit facility ($1,477,603) was

                                       12
<PAGE>

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

classified  as a current  liability as the line of credit was  temporarily  paid
down in December 1999 from the increased sales of the Christmas  selling season.
At April 29, 2000,  only $250,093 was  outstanding  under the revolving  line of
credit  facility,  which  was  also  classified  as  a  current  liability.  The
improvement  in the current ratio was  positively  impacted by the Company's six
month pretax income and an increase in inventory,  and was offset by an increase
in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Net cash provided from  operating  activities  was $1,549,904 for the six months
ended April 29, 2000,  as compared to net cash used in operating  activities  of
$248,947 for the same period last year.  The  improvement  in cash provided from
operating  activities  was due  primarily  from the increase in pretax income of
$791,350,  coupled with an increase in accounts  payable,  accrued  expenses and
other current  liabilities of $581,477,  as mentioned  above. For the six months
ended May 1, 1999, the Company had reduced current liabilities by $535,737.

Net cash used in  investing  activities  was  $138,602  for the six months ended
April 29,  2000,  as compared to cash used of $463,000  for the same period last
year.  Net cash used for the purchase of property and  equipment  was  $434,203,
relating to new store  openings in fiscal 1999,  as compared to only $134,937 in
fiscal 2000, where net cash was used for various capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,392,369 for the first six months of
fiscal 2000,  as compared to net cash  provided  from  financing  activities  of
$526,139 for the same period last year.  Financing  activities for the first six
months  of fiscal  2000  includes  net  payments  of  $1,227,510,  reducing  the
revolving line of credit  facility.  This period also includes  Preferred  Stock
dividends  paid of $73,324 and principal  payments on capital leases of $91,535.
Financing  activities  for the first  six  months of  fiscal  1999  include  net
borrowings  from the revolving line of credit facility of $610,482 and Preferred
Stock dividend payments of $75,927.

In November 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 interest  rate on borrowings up to $2,500,000 is 1% in excess of
the prime  rate of  interest  (as  defined).  The rate  charged  on  outstanding
balances over $2,500,000 is 1.75% above the prime rate (9.0% at April 29, 2000).
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 fiscal
year. Monthly  maintenance  charges also exist under the line of credit. At June
2,  2000,  there was  $607,691  in  outstanding  borrowings  under  the  Paragon
revolving line of credit facility.  The increase in the Company's revolving line
of credit facility from the amount outstanding at April 29, 2000 ($250,093),  is
primarily due to the funding of additional  inventory.  As of June 2, 2000,  the
Company had  $2,692,309  available to borrow under the revolving  line of credit
facility.

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  eligible  inventory,  less
existing borrowings and certain reserves established by Paragon.

                                       13

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

Pursuant to the credit facility, the Company cannot exceed certain advance rates
on eligible inventory and must maintain certain levels of net income or loss and
minimum gross profit margins.  Additionally,  the Company's capital expenditures
cannot 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  covenants or the
occurrence  of  certain  customary  events  of  default.  The  Company  is  also
restricted from paying  dividends on common stock,  retiring or repurchasing its
common stock,  and generally  from entering  into  additional  indebtedness  (as
defined).

The Company has 2,104,500  common stock warrants  ("Warrants")  outstanding from
its  public  offering  of  common  stock  and  Warrants  in  fiscal  1998,  (the
"Offering").  Each outstanding  Warrant,  is exercisable 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 has been demonstrated by the
Company for all store openings since the Company's public offering.

As Bang & Olufsen  ("B&O")  focuses on developing B&O 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, B&O products are available only in Branded Stores.

The Company opened its first B&O Branded Store in the Union Square area of lower
Manhattan  in July  1999.  This  Branded  Store is the first of two  stores  the
Company plans to open in Manhattan. The Company has not identified a location or
lease  agreement  for the second B&O store in Manhattan  and no assurance can be
given about the number of Branded Stores that the Company will ultimately open.

On May 13, 2000, the Company signed a sublease and a related Dealer Agreement to
open a new 1600 square foot B&O Branded Store in Greenwich, Connecticut. The new
retail  store will be the second B&O store  opened by the  Company.  The Company
plans to open  this new B&O store in  September  2000.  The new  store  will the
Company's eighth.

Capital  expenditures  necessary  for each  1,500-1,600  square  foot B&O store,
including inventory, should be approximately $350,000.

                                       14

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

The Company seeks to open at least two additional Harvey  Electronics  stores in
New Jersey within the next eighteen months, if the appropriate  locations can be
obtained or an existing business can be acquired. The Company estimates that the
total cost of opening a new Harvey  Electronics  retail  store is  approximately
$650,000.  The estimated  cost of opening a 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,  pre-opening expenses
and additional advertising and promotion in connection with the opening.

The  Company  intends to continue to redirect  and  substantially  increase  its
marketing  expenditures,  which began in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  This
will broaden the Company's  media  presence with the  continuation  of cable and
network television advertising.

The Company plans to broaden its e-commerce  business with the  development of a
fully-interactive  website  giving its customers  access to product  reviews and
specifications,   information  about  custom   installation   services  and  new
technologies,  store locations, product auctions and on-line sales, seven days a
week,  twenty-four  hours a day. The website will enable the Company to sell its
products and services to customers in its traditional market in the Metropolitan
New York area,  however,  the  Company's  objective  is to give its  customers a
unique shopping experience offering valuable information, high-quality products,
professional   installation   and  other   services   which  will   continue  to
differentiate Harvey from its mass merchant  competitors.  The Company will give
its customers  access to one of Harvey's  upscale retail  showrooms or offer its
customers  a  private  in-home  consultation  through  the  convenience  of  the
Internet.  The Company plans to expend approximately  $300,000 in developing and
launching this interactive  website. The Company plans to launch the new website
at the end of fiscal 2000.

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
November and December 1999.

Year 2000 Modifications

In fiscal 1999, the Company successfully implemented all Year 2000 modifications
to upgrade its operating systems.  Currently, the Company's computer environment
is operating as designed,  as all systems are Year 2000  compliant.  The Company
does not anticipate any additional  material capital  expenditures or management
efforts in this regard for fiscal 2000.
