         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
         10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. 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
         adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
         included. Operating results for the six month period ended December 31,
         1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
         for the year as a whole. For further information, refer to the
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
         Company's annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30,
         1995.


2.       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
         the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
         Disposed of" ("Statement 121"), issued in March 1995 and effective for
         fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, establishes accounting
         standards for the recognition and measurement of impairment of
         long-lived assets, and goodwill either to be held or disposed of.
         Management believes the adoption of Statement 121 will not have a
         material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
         operations.


3.       SALE OF CONSUMER ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS

         On July 24, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
         sale of its consumer entertainment business to a corporation controlled
         by, Mickey Elfenbein, the Company's President (the Purchaser). The
         Company proposed to sell its consumer entertainment business to the
         Purchaser by selling to the Purchaser three domestic subsidiaries and
         ten foreign subsidiaries (the "Entertainment Subsidiaries") which own
         the master recording catalog rights to music recordings and through
         which the Company operates its consumer entertainment products business
         at a purchase price of $25,000,000, subject to certain adjustments. The
         transaction was subject to shareholder approval, Purchaser obtaining
         financing and the closing of a related transaction among K-5 Leisure
         Products, Inc., a company owned by Philip Kives who is the Chairman of
         the Company and owns approximately 66% of the Company's outstanding
         shares. Pursuant to the terms of the sale transaction and the related
         transaction, any party had the right to terminate if closing did not
         occur by November 30, 1995. Subsequent to that date, the parties
         continued their efforts to complete the transactions. However, on
         January 11, 1996, the Company received written notice from K-5 Leisure
         Products that it terminated the related transaction and therefore, the
         sale transaction was also terminated.

the parent holding company recorded $348,000 in expenses. For the quarter ended

increase in costs was mainly due to increased legal and professional fees
associated with the proposed sale of the consumer entertainment business. (see

In addition to the operating amounts above for the six months ended December 31,
1995, the parent holding company recorded $783,000 in expenses. For the six
months ended December 31, 1994 the parent holding company recorded $542,000 in
expenses. The increase in costs was mainly due to increased legal and
professional fees associated with the proposed sale of the consumer
entertainment business. (see Note 3 to consolidated financial statements)



A.       Results of Operations

         For the six months ended December 31, 1995 consolidated net sales were
         $35,416,000 with operating income of $609,000 and net income of
         $223,000 or $.06 per share. Consolidated net sales for the same period
         last year were $33,480,000 with operating income of $347,000 and net
         income of $143,000 or $.04 per share.

         For the quarter ended December 31, 1995 consolidated net sales were
         $18,792,000 with operating income of $221,000 and net loss of $82,000
         or $.02 per share. For the same period last year, sales were
         $19,719,000 with operating income of $295,000 and net income of $77,000
         or $.02 per share.

         Consolidated net sales increased $1,936,000 or 6% for the six months
         ended December 31, 1995 over the previous year comparable period. North
         American net sales were up 36% over the prior year comparable period
         due primarily to U.S. music sales success in most of its widely diverse
         and expanding product offerings covering nearly all genres of music, as
         well as a currently successful direct response television music
         infomercial. European sales were down from the prior year comparable
         period due mainly to the closure of the Spanish entity at the end of
         fiscal 1995. The North American sales increase more than offset the
         European sales decrease for the six month period.

         Consolidated net sales decreased $927,000 for the quarter ended
         December 31, 1995 from the previous year comparable period. North
         American sales increased and European sales decreased over the prior
         year comparable period for the same reasons as described above. However
         for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the European sales decrease
         more than offset the North American sales increase.

         Cost of goods sold for the six months ended December 31, 1995 were 53%
         of sales compared to 53% for the same period last year, and increased
         to 55% for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 compared to 54% for the
         previous year comparable period. For the six months and quarter ended
         December 31, 1995, North American cost of goods sold, as a percentage
         of sales, were less than the prior year comparable periods due mainly
         to a successful music television direct response infomercial. Direct
         response sales typically carry higher gross margins before advertising
         than normal retail sales. European cost of goods sold for the six
         months and quarter ended December 31, 1995 increased over prior year
         due mainly to a change in business in the United Kingdom, to mostly
         lower margin budget music product from a combination of music and
         consumer convenience product in the prior year.

         Consolidated advertising costs as a percent of sales were 17% for the
         six months and quarter ended December 31, 1995. North American
         advertising costs as a percent of sales for the six months and quarter
         ended December 31, 1995 were greater than the previous year due mainly
         to a successful direct response television music infomercial in the
         current year (direct response television sales require higher levels of
         advertising than retail sales) and a first quarter Canadian television
         promotion supporting certain new music product releases. European
         advertising costs as a percentage of sales for the six months and
         quarter ended December 31, 1995 were less than the previous year due
         primarily to the closure of the Spanish entity at the end of fiscal
         1995. The Spanish entity sales were mainly direct response television
         sales which require higher levels of advertising than retail sales.
         Also contributing to the reduction in European advertising costs was
         Germany which has had more success in direct response television
         promotions in the current year than in the previous year.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six month period
         ended December 31, 1995 were $10,127,000 or 29% of sales compared to
         $9,502,000 or 28% of sales in the prior year comparable period. For the
         quarter ended December 31, 1995, selling, general and administrative
         expenses were $5,138,000 or 27% of sales compared to $5,139,000 or 26%
         of sales in the prior year comparable period. North American selling,
         general and administrative expenses were up $1,674,000 and $611,000 for
         the six months and quarter ended December 31, 1995, respectively, in
         support of sales growth. European selling, general and administrative
         expenses were down $1,290,000 and $622,000 for the six months and
         quarter ended December 31, 1995, respectively, due mainly to the
         closure of the Spanish entity and the restructuring of the German
         entity in the fourth quarter ended June 30, 1995. Also contributing to
         the current year increase in selling, general and administrative
         expenses from the previous year were increased parent holding company
         legal and professional expenses associated with the proposed sale of
         the consumer entertainment businesses (see Note 3 to the consolidated
         financial statements).

         Operating income increased to $609,000, for the six months ended
         December 31, 1995, from $347,000 for the same period last year.
         Operating income decreased to $221,000 from $295,000 for the quarter
         ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period last year. For
         the six months and quarter ended December 31, 1995, North American
         operating income is down slightly from the prior year comparable
         periods mainly due to selling, general and administrative expense
         increases in support of sales growth. European operating income
         increased for the six months and quarter ended December 31, 1995 from
         the previous year comparable periods due mainly to restructuring of the
         German operation and closedown of the Spanish subsidiary in the fourth
         quarter ended June 30, 1995 resulting in significant operating
         improvement in the current year. Consolidated operating income was also
         impacted in the current year by increased parent holding company legal
         and professional expenses associated with the proposed sale of the
         consumer entertainment businesses (see Note 3 to the consolidated
         financial statements).

         The Company provided restructuring/closedown charges of $652,000 in
         1995 relating to the Company's restructuring/closedown of its Spanish
         and German operations. The restructuring/closedown was nearly completed
         in the first two quarters of fiscal 1996 and the accrued charge should
         accurately reflect the actual costs incurred to complete the
         restructuring/closedown.

         During the six month period ended December 31, 1995, the Company
         experienced a foreign currency transaction loss of $1,000 compared to a
         gain of $15,000 experienced in the comparable period in the prior year.
         For the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company experienced a
         foreign currency translation loss of $11,000 compared to a previous
         year second quarter loss of $61,000. The Company has a policy to reduce
         its foreign currency exchange exposure by hedging its exposure through
         the use of forward contracts. Most of the Company's foreign currency
         transaction exposure is due to certain European subsidiaries
         liabilities which are payable to the Company's U.S. parent or U.S.
         subsidiaries. In accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles the payable balances are adjusted quarterly to the local
         currency equivalent of the U.S. dollar. Gains or losses resulting from
         these intercompany liabilities remain unrealized until such time the
         underlying liabilities are settled.

         The provision for income taxes was $268,000 and $144,000 for the six
         months and quarter ended December 31, 1995, respectively, compared to
         $236,000 and $161,000 for the comparable periods last year. Variations
         in the Company's tax provision are a factor of the country of origin of
         profits and the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.

         Operating results for the six month period ended December 31, 1995 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
         year as a whole.


B.       Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the six months ended December 31, 1995, cash and cash
         equivalents decreased approximately $237,000 to $1,917,000. The overall
         decrease in cash was primarily due to net increases in nearly all
         current operating items which continued to be driven by sales growth
         continuing through the second quarter of fiscal 1996. The related
         collections and payments are expected to occur in the third and fourth
         quarter of this fiscal year. Part of the cash decrease was offset by
         proceeds received under the Company's working capital line of credit.

         During the first six months of fiscal 1996 the Company purchased
         approximately $711,000 of consumer convenience product from K-tel
         International Ltd., a company owned by Mr. Philip Kives, the Chairman
         of the Board. The Company owed approximately $381,000 to K-tel
         International Ltd. at December 31, 1995. Also, K-tel International Ltd.
         purchased approximately $132,000 from the Company during the first six
         months ended December 31, 1995 and owed the Company $358,000 at
         December 31, 1995. Outstanding balances are settled on a timely basis.
         No interest will be charged on the related outstanding balances during
         fiscal 1995.

         Three of the Company's United States subsidiaries, K-tel International
         (USA), Inc., Dominion Entertainment, Inc. and K-tel, Inc. (the
         "Subsidiaries") have revolving credit agreements maturing November 30,
         1996. The agreements provide for an asset based line of credit not to
         exceed $5,500,000 in total, with availability based on a monthly
         borrowing base derived from the Subsidiaries' accounts receivable and
         inventory. Borrowings are collateralized by the assets of the
         Subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, inventories, equipment and
         Dominion Entertainment, Inc.'s owned music master recordings. The
         Company has also guaranteed all borrowings of the Subsidiaries. The
         amounts outstanding under these lines of credit were $4,759,000 at
         December 31, 1995. The Subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum
         levels of tangible net worth and certain other financial ratios. As of
         December 31, 1995 the Subsidiaries were in compliance or have obtained
         waivers for these covenants.

         Management considers its cash needs for the current fiscal year to be
         adequately covered by its operations, borrowings under the TCF lines of
         credit or by funding from a company owned by Mr. Kives, the Chairman of
         the Board of Directors of the Company. Although management is not privy
         to the financial statements of the Chairman's other companies, he has
         assured K-tel International, Inc. that he will fund its operations on
         an as needed basis consistent with his past practices which have mainly
         been by way of giving the Company open ended payment terms on product
         purchased from his affiliate companies. On December 31, 1995, the
         Company renewed its lines of credit with TCF through November 30, 1996.

         On July 24, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
         sale of its consumer entertainment business to a corporation controlled
         by the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer (the Purchaser).
         The Company proposed to sell its consumer entertainment business to the
         Purchaser by selling to the Purchaser three domestic subsidiaries and
         ten foreign subsidiaries (the "Entertainment Subsidiaries") which own
         the master recording catalog rights to music recordings and through
         which the Company operates its consumer entertainment products business
         at a purchase price of $25,000,000. The transaction was subject to
         shareholder approval, Purchaser obtaining financing and the closing of
         a related transaction among K-5 Leisure Products, Inc., a company owned
         by Philip Kives who is the Chairman of the Company and owns
         approximately 66% of the Company's outstanding shares. Pursuant to the
         terms of the sale transaction and the related transaction, any party
         had the right to terminate if closing did not occur by November 30,
         1995. Subsequent to that date, the parties continued their efforts to
         complete the transactions. However, on January 11, 1996, the Company
         received written notice from K-5 Leisure Products that it terminated
         the related transaction and therefore, the sale transaction was also
         terminated.

                              AND TO REVOLVING NOTE


         This Amendment is made as of this 28th day of December, 1995, by and
between K-TEL, INC., a Minnesota corporation, having its principal place of
business in Plymouth, Minnesota ("Borrower"), and TCF BANK MINNESOTA FSB, a
federally chartered stock savings bank (the "Bank").


                                    RECITALS

         A. The Borrower and the Bank have entered into a Revolving Credit
Agreement dated as of January 30, 1995, as amended by a First Amendment to
Revolving Credit Agreement and to Revolving Note dated as of July 20, 1995, by a
Second Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of October 2, 1995 and
by a Third Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement and to Revolving Note dated
as of November 28, 1995 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which
the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, agreed to make
revolving advances to the Borrower in the aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000.

         B. The Borrower's obligation to repay the revolving advances made by
the Bank under the Credit Agreement is evidenced by the Borrower's Revolving
Note dated January 30, 1995, payable to the Bank's order in the original
principal amount of $3,000,000, as amended (the "Note").

         C. The Borrower has requested that the Bank extend the Commitment
Termination Date to November 30, 1996 and make certain other changes to the
Credit Agreement.

         D. The Bank is willing to grant the Borrower's request subject to the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless specifically
defined herein, shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.

         2. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
the existing definitions of "Borrowing Base", "Commitment Amount", "Commitment

by substituting therefor the following new definitions:

                  "`Borrowing Base' means, at any time, the lesser of the
         Commitment Amount or the sum of

                  (i)      75% of Eligible Accounts, less Returns, computed on
                           the basis of the most recent Borrowing Base
                           Certificate furnished to the Bank under Section
                           5.1(e); plus

                  (ii)     the lesser of (a) 40% of Eligible Inventory or (b)
                           $1,500,000, computed on the basis of the most recent
                           Borrowing Base Certificate furnished to the Bank
                           under Section 5.1(e); minus

                  (iii)    the amount of all deposits made into the Borrower's
                           Collateral Account since the date of the most recent
                           Borrowing Base Certificate furnished to the Bank
                           under Section 5.1(e); minus

                  (iv)     the amount of the Borrower's inventory reserve
                           maintained pursuant to Section 5.10, which inventory
                           reserve shall in no event be less than $300,000 at
                           any time."

                  "`Commitment Amount' means $2,500,000."

         1996."

                  "`Subordinated Debt' of any Person means indebtedness for
         borrowed money of such Person which has been subordinated in right of
         payment to such Person's indebtedness to the Bank on terms accepted in

         5.9 of this Agreement, the Subordinated Debt of the Borrower shall not
         include at any time any indebtedness for borrowed money owed by the
         Borrower to K-Tel USA which is in excess of an aggregate amount of
         $1,000,000."

follows:

                  "Section 5.7 Current Ratio. The Borrower will maintain at all
         times the ratio of its Current Assets to Current Liabilities at not
         less than 1.0 to 1."

         5. Section 5.8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as
follows:

                  "Section 5.8 Debt to Capital Base Ratio. The Borrower will

         7. Article V of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the

                  "Section 5.10 Minimum Inventory Reserve. The Borrower shall at
         all times maintain an inventory reserve in an amount not less than
         $300,000."

         8. Section 6.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as
follows:

                  "Section 6.9 Capital Expenditures. Without the Bank's prior

         after giving effect to such Capital Expenditure, the aggregate amount
         of Capital Expenditures made by the Borrower during its fiscal year
         ended June 30, 1996 or in any fiscal year thereafter would exceed
         $100,000 in the aggregate."
