                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     On January 8, 1997, Lee Video City, Inc. merged with and into Prism
Entertainment Corporation ("Prism").  Upon consummation of the merger, the name
of company was changed to Video City, Inc, (the "Company").  The Company
retained Prism's year-end of January 31.  Previously, Lee Video City, Inc.'s
year-end was December 31; the change in year-end is reflected in the different
quarter periods.


     The financial statements as of April 30, 1997 and for the quarterly periods
ended April 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996 are unaudited and have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. It is recommended that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended
January 31, 1997.


     The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly
the financial position as of April 30, 1997 and the results of operations and
cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996.  All
such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  The results of
operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). Such

Three months ended April 30, 1997 compared to three months ended March 31, 1996


REVENUES

     Revenues decreased $1,136,000, or 33.2%, to $2,281,000 for the three months
ended April 30, 1997 compared to $3,417,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996.  The decrease in revenues were primarily due to the sale of 11 stores by
the Company in June 1996.  Same store revenues for the first quarter 1997
increased by approximately 1.4% compared to first quarter 1996.

STORE OPERATING EXPENSES

     Store operating expenses decreased $623,000, or 36.5%, to $1,082,000 for
the three months ended April 30, 1997 compared to $1,705,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease was primarily due to the sale of 11
stores by the Company in June 1996.  Store operating expenses as a percentage of
total revenue was 47.4% in 1997 compared to 49.9% in 1996.  The decrease was
primarily due to continued cost improvements achieved in the store's
controllable expenses.

AMORTIZATION OF VIDEOCASSETTE RENTAL INVENTORY

     Amortization of videocassette rental inventory decreased $109,000, or
14.9%, to $625,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1997 compared to
$734,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease was primarily
due to the sale of 11 stores by the Company in June 1996 resulting in fewer
videocassettes amortized in 1997.

COST OF PRODUCT SALES

     Cost of product sales decreased by $31,000, or 12.2%, to $224,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 1997 compared to $255,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.  Cost of product sales as a percentage of total revenue
for the three months ended April 30, 1997 was 9.8% compared to 7.5% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase was primarily due to the
Company's emphasis on increased product sales in 1997 compared to 1996.

COST OF LEASED PRODUCT

     Cost of leased product decreased by $191,000 to $103,000 for the three
months ended April 30, 1997 compared to $294,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The decrease was primarily due to the sale of 11 stores by the
Company in June 1996 resulting in the need for substantially less video products
in 1997.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     General and administrative expenses increased $90,000, or 21.8%, to
$501,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1997 compared to $411,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase is primarily due to the
additional legal and administrative expenses required of a public company.
Previous to the merger with Prism Entertainment Corporation on January 8, 1997,
Lee Video City, Inc. was a privately owned corporation.  Also, the Company
incurred legal and administrative expenses in the finalization of the Prism
Entertainment Corporation bankruptcy and merger.

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense decreased $79,000, or 34.3%, to $153,000 for the three
months ended April 30, 1997 compared to $232,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the
reduction of long-term debt of the Company which was paid down from the proceeds
from the sale of 11 stores in June 1996 and the conversion of debt to equity in
conjunction with the merger in January 1997.

OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE

     Other income increased $27,000, or 56.3%, to $75,000 for the three months
ended April 30, 1997 compared to $48,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996.  The increase was primarily due to management fees related to the Company
adding two new stores under management agreements in July 1996 and January 1997.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company had no income tax expense for the three months ended April 30,
1997 or the three months ended March 31,1996 as it had no taxable income during
these periods.  The Company's effective income tax rate varied from the
statutory federal tax rate as a result of operating losses for which no tax has
been recognized due to the change in the valuation allowance on the net deferred
tax asset.  A full valuation allowance has been established as it is more likely
than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary long-term capital needs would be for opening and
acquiring new stores.  If and as the Company does acquire or open new stores,
the Company expects to fund such needs through future cash flows from
operations, the net proceeds from the possible sale of debt or equity
securities, bank credit facilities, trade credit, and equipment leases.

     The Company funds its short-term working capital needs, including the
acquisition of videos and other inventory, primarily through cash from
operations.  The Company expects that cash from operations will be sufficient to
fund future video and other inventory purchases and other working capital needs.
Videocassette rental inventories are accounted for as noncurrent assets under
generally accepted accounting principles because they are not assets which are
reasonably expected to be completely realized in cash or sold in the normal
business cycle.  Although the rental of this inventory generates a substantial
portion of the Company's revenue, the classification of these assets as
noncurrent excludes them from the computation of working capital.  The
acquisition cost of videocassette rental inventories, however, is reported as a
current liability until paid and, accordingly, included in the computation of
working capital.  Consequently, the Company believes working capital is not as
significant a measure of financial condition for companies in the video retail
industry as it is for companies in other industries.  Because of the accounting
treatment of  videocassette rental inventory as a noncurrent asset, the Company
anticipates that it will operate with a working capital deficit during fiscal
1998.

     On January 8, 1997, in conjunction with the Company's merger with Prism
Entertainment Corporation, the Company entered into an amended and restated
credit and security agreement (the "Agreement") with Imperial Bank. The
agreement contains various covenants including a financial performance covenant,
which states that the Company must reflect a minimum of $100,000 in profits on a
quarterly basis (pre-tax and calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles). Due to the Company's failure to achieve the minimum
profit for the first quarter as required by the covenant, the Company has
requested and been granted a waiver for the first quarter from Imperial Bank.

Three months ended April 30, 1997 compared to three months ended March 31, 1996

     Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately
$681,000 primarily due to an increase in merchandise inventory purchases and a
reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses partially offset by a
decrease in accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities decreased
by $407,000 primarily due to a reduction in the purchases of videocassette
rental inventory. Net cash used in financing activities increased $598,000
mainly due to increased principal payments on long-term debt assumed in the
merger with Prism Entertainment Corporation.
