                         GO-VIDEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GENERAL

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring  accruals)
necessary  to present  fairly the  financial  position  of the  Company  and the
results of its operations and changes in its financial  position for the periods
reported.  The results of  operations  for interim  periods are not  necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.  The  consolidated
financial  statements  include  Go-Video,  Inc. and  beginning in April 1998 its
wholly  owned  subsidiary,   California  Audio  Labs,  LLC  ("Cal  Audio").  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the prior financial  statements to
conform to the current classifications.

On April 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Cal Audio.
The purchase  price was $1.9 million which includes $1.2 million of debt assumed
plus the assumption of other  liabilities of $0.6 million.  The  acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations.
The excess of assets acquired over liabilities  assumed of $1.1 million has been
allocated to goodwill and is being amortized over twenty years.

Inventories  at December 31, 1998 consisted of $1.1 million of raw materials and
service parts and $14.3 million of finished goods.

The Market Exclusivity Fee of $2.2 million represents the unamortized balance of
a $2.3 million fee paid by the Company to Loewe Opta GmbH ("Loewe Opta") for the
exclusive  right to market  and  distribute  in North  America a line of digital
direct view  televisions  specifically  developed and manufactured by Loewe Opta
for the Company.  The fee was paid in full as of September 30, 1998. The Company
began amortization of the fee in November 1998 on a straight line basis over the
initial term of the agreement which ends on January 1, 2003.

The Company is engaged in the design,  development,  and  marketing  of consumer
electronic audio,  video, and television  products and video security  products.
Sales  of  the  Company's  Dual-Deck  videocassette  recorder  have  constituted
substantially  all of its  revenue of the last five fiscal  years.  For the nine
months ended December 31, 1998, the Company's  largest customer  represented 17%
of total revenues and the Company's second largest  customer  represented 11% of
revenues.  No other customer  represented 10% or more of the Company's revenues.
Accounts  receivable  from these two  customers  at December  31, 1998 were $1.6
million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  recently  issued  SFAS No.  130 on
"Reporting  Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131 on "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information".  The "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
standard is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1998. The
standard  changes  the  reporting  of certain  items  currently  reported in the
stockholders'  equity  section of the balance  sheet.  The Company is  currently
evaluating  what  impact  this  standard  will have on the  Company's  financial
statements.  The  "Disclosure  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information" standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998. This standard  requires that public companies  report certain  information
about operating  segments in their  financial  statements.  It also  establishes
<PAGE>

related  disclosures  about products and services,  geographic  areas, and major
customers.  The Company is currently  evaluating  what impact this standard will
have on its disclosures.

Deferred  income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary  differences
between the carrying  amounts of assets and liabilities for financial  reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes,  and (b)  operating  loss
and tax credit  carryforwards.  The tax effects of significant  items comprising
the Company's net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1998 are as follows:

          Deferred Tax Assets:

          Current - reserves not currently
               deductible                                $   492,000

          Noncurrent:
            Differences between book & tax

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  DECEMBER  31, 1998  COMPARED  WITH THE THREE  MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1997:

Net sales  increased 50% to $21.4 million during the three months ended December
31, 1998 from $14.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 1997. The
increase in net sales was primarily due to a 102% increase in unit  shipments of
Dual-Deck VCR's ("DDVCR") sold by the Company's  Consumer  Electronics  Division
for the three months ended  December 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended
December 31, 1997, offset in part by a 22% decrease in the average selling price
per unit  over  the two  periods.  The  increase  in net  DDVCR  units  sold was
primarily due to the Summer 1998 introduction of a new line of DDVCR's featuring
significant  reductions  in  retail  selling  prices  ranging  from  13% to 25%,
including  a new leader  model sold at a retail  price of $299 which  replaced a
similar model selling at $399. Sales of the Company's Security Products Division
represented  3% of total net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1998,
down from 8% for the  comparable  period of the prior year.  The Company's  Home
Theater  Division,   which  is  responsible  for  the  marketing  and  sales  of
high-performance  audio,  video  and  television  products  under  the Loewe and
California Audio Labs brands, represented 7% of total sales for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 versus none for the comparable period of the prior year.
The increased  revenue  resulted from the April 1998  acquisition  of California
Audio Labs and the November 1998  commencement  of sales of the  division's  new
line of  digital  televisions,  neither of which  were  present  during the same
period of the  previous  year.  The Company  anticipates  that the Home  Theater
Division will contribute  increasing revenue both in dollars and as a percentage
of total  revenues  over  time,  subject  to market  acceptance  of the  digital
television line and, to a lesser extent, the audio product line.

Gross  profit was $5.1  million  and $3.8  million  for the three  months  ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,  representing a 35% increase in gross
profit dollars. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to higher
unit sales of DDVCR's and the addition of television  and audio  product  sales,
offset in part by lower security product sales.  Gross profit as a percentage of
sales (gross  margin)  decreased  from 26.5% for the three months ended December
31,  1997 to 23.8% for the three month  period  ended  December  31,  1998.  The
decrease in gross margin resulted primarily from lower average selling prices of
DDVCR's, partially offset by lower DDVCR manufacturing costs and higher margined
sales of digital  televisions and audio products.  The Company  anticipates that
gross  margins from its DDVCR sales will  continue to decline  during the fourth
quarter of the  Company's  1999 fiscal  year (which ends March 31,  1999) due to
continued market pressure on average selling prices of its DDVCR.

Sales and marketing  expense  increased 64% to $2.6 million for the three months
ended  December 31, 1998 from $1.6  million for the three months ended  December
31,  1997.  The increase in sales and  marketing  expense was  primarily  due to
increased   sales   commissions  on  higher  overall  sales  levels,   increased
advertising  and sales  promotion  activities for the Company's line of DDVCR's,
and the  addition  of selling  and  marketing  expenses  across  all  categories
incurred to support the sales of the Company's new lines of digital  televisions
and audio  products.  As a  percentage  of sales,  sales and  marketing  expense
increased from 11.1% in the three months ended December 31, 1997 to 12.2% in the
three months ended December 31, 1998.

Research and development  expense increased 462% from $0.1 million for the three
months  ended  December  31,  1997 to $0.8  million for the three  months  ended
December 31, 1998. The increased  research and  development  costs are primarily
due to product  development  costs  incurred  to develop a line of home  theater
audio products,  completion of product  development of the Company's new line of
digital  televisions,  and additional new product  development  and  engineering
costs. As a percentage of sales, research and development expense increased from
1.0% for the three months  ended  December 31, 1997 to 3.7% for the three months
ended December 31, 1998. The Company intends to continue to increase its product
development and engineering expenditures to support its strategy of diversifying
its  operations  from support of its  Dual-Deck  VCR product line to the design,

<PAGE>

development,  and marketing of multiple  lines of audio,  video,  and television
consumer electronic products.

General and  administrative  expense increased 53% to $1.1 million for the three
months  ended  December  31, 1998 from $0.7  million for the three  months ended
December  31,  1997.  The  increase  in general and  administrative  expense was
primarily due to higher costs incurred due to the acquisition and integration of
California  Audio  Labs  and  higher  human  resources,  management  information
systems,  and office support costs related to the increased employee  population
over the same  period of the prior  year.  General  and  administrative  expense
increased  from 5.1% of sales for the three  months  ended  December 31, 1997 to
5.2% of sales for the three months ended December 31, 1998.

As a result of the above, the Company recorded  operating profit of $0.6 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1998 compared with  operating  profit of
$1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The Company  recorded
net other  expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended  December 31, 1998
compared to $0.2  million for the three months  ended  December  31,  1997.  The
increase in net other expense was primarily  due to increased  interest  expense
due to higher  average  borrowings  under the  Company's  line of credit for the
three months ended  December 31, 1998 compared with the same period of the prior
year. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $20,000, representing
its state and estimated alternative minimum tax liabilities for the three months
ended  December 31, 1998.  For the three  months  ended  December 31, 1997,  the
Company  recorded  a  provision  for  income tax of  $20,000,  representing  its
alternative minimum tax liability.

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1997:

Net sales  increased 41% to $51.3 million  during the nine months ended December
31, 1998 from $36.3 million  during the nine months ended December 31, 1997. The
increase in net sales was primarily due to a 73% increase in net unit  shipments
of DDVCR's  sold by the  Company's  Consumer  Electronics  Division for the nine
months ended  December 31, 1998  compared to the nine months ended  December 31,
1997,  offset in part by a 20%  decrease in the average  selling  price per unit
over the two  periods.  The  increase  in net units  sold was  primarily  due to
increased  demand for the  Company's  newest  model  line of DDVCR's  introduced
during the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The new line of DDVCR's featured
significant  reductions in selling prices  ranging from 13% to 25%,  including a
new leader model sold at a retail price of $299 which  replaced a similar  model
selling  at  $399.  Sales  of the  Company's  Security  Products  Division  were
approximately  6% of total sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, up
slightly from 5% for the comparable period of the prior year. The Company's Home
Theater  Division,   which  is  responsible  for  the  marketing  and  sales  of
high-performance  audio,  video  and  television  products  under  the Loewe and
California Audio Labs brands,  represented 4% of total sales for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 versus none for the comparable period of the prior year.
The increased  revenue  resulted from the April 1998  acquisition  of California
Audio Labs and the November 1998  commencement  of sales of the  division's  new
line of televisions, neither of which were present during the same period of the
previous  year.  The Company  anticipates  that the Home Theater  Division  will
contribute  increasing  revenue  both in dollars  and as a  percentage  of total
revenues over time,  subject to market acceptance of the digital television line
and, to a lesser extent, the audio product line.

Gross  profit was $13.0  million  and $9.2  million  for the nine  months  ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,  representing a 40% increase in gross
profit dollars. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to higher
sales of DDVCR's  and the  addition  of  television  and audio  products  in the
current  fiscal  year.  Gross profit as a  percentage  of sales  (gross  margin)
decreased  slightly  from 25.5% for the nine months  ended  December 31, 1997 to
25.3% for the nine month period ended  December 31, 1998.  The decrease in gross
margin  resulted  primarily  from  lower  average  selling  prices  of  DDVCR's,
partially offset by lower DDVCR manufacturing costs and higher margined sales of
digital  televisions  and audio  products.  The Company  anticipates  that gross
margins from its DDVCR sales will continue to decline  during the fourth quarter
of the  Company's  1999 fiscal year (which ends March 31, 1999) due to continued
market pressure on average selling prices of its DDVCR.

Sales and  marketing  expense  increased 45% to $5.4 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 from $3.7 million for the nine months ended December 31,
<PAGE>

1997. The increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to increased
sales  commissions on higher  overall sales levels,  increased  advertising  and
sales promotion  activities for the Company's line of DDVCR's,  and the addition
of selling and marketing expenses across all categories  incurred to support the
sales of the Company's new lines of digital televisions and audio products. As a
percentage of sales,  sales and marketing expense increased  slightly from 10.2%
in the nine months  ended  December  31, 1997 to 10.4% in the nine months  ended
December 31, 1998.

Research and development  expense  increased 132% from $0.7 million for the nine
months  ended  December  31,  1997 to $1.5  million  for the nine  months  ended
December 31, 1998. The increase in research and development  costs was primarily
due to product  development  costs  incurred  to develop a line of home  theater
audio products,  completion of product  development of the Company's new line of
digital  televisions,  and additional new product  development  and  engineering
costs. As a percentage of sales, research and development expense increased from
1.8% for the nine  months  ended  December  31, 1997 to 3.0% for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998. The Company intends to continue to increase its product
development and engineering expenditures to support its strategy of diversifying
its  operations  from support of its  Dual-Deck  VCR product line to the design,
development,  and marketing of multiple  lines of audio,  video,  and television
consumer electronic products.

General and  administrative  expense  increased 49% to $3.4 million for the nine
months  ended  December  31, 1998 from $2.3  million  for the nine months  ended
December  31,  1997.  The  increase  in general and  administrative  expense was
primarily due to higher costs incurred due to the acquisition and integration of
California  Audio Labs, LLC and higher human resources,  management  information
systems,  and office support costs related to the increased employee  population
over the same  period of the prior  year.  General  and  administrative  expense
increased from 6.3% of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 to 6.6%
of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1998.

As a result of the above, the Company recorded  operating profit of $2.7 million
for the nine months ended  December 31, 1998 compared with  operating  profit of
$2.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1997.  The Company  recorded
net other  expense of $0.8 million for the nine months  ended  December 31, 1998
compared to $0.5  million for the nine  months  ended  December  31,  1997.  The
increase in net other expense is primarily due to increased interest expense due
to higher  average  borrowings  under the Company's  line of credit for the nine
months ended December 31, 1998, compared with the same period of the prior year.
The Company  recorded a provision for income taxes of $178,000  representing its
state and  estimated  alternative  minimum tax  liabilities  for the nine months
ended  December 31,  1998.  For the nine months  ended  December  31, 1997,  the
Company  recorded  a  provision  for  income  tax of  $35,000  representing  its
alternative minimum tax liability.

SEASONALITY

The Company's  primary  product lines  compete  within the consumer  electronics
industry,  which  generally  experiences  seasonal peaks in sales from September
through  January,  covering the holiday selling  season.  The Company expects to
continue  to  exhibit  seasonal  peaks  of  its  sales  in  line  with  industry
experience.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company is conducting an evaluation of its  management  information  systems
and the possible effect of Year 2000 hardware and software  issues.  The Company
believes its internal management information systems are Year 2000 compliant. In
addition,  the  Company  is in  communication  with its  significant  suppliers,
financial  institutions,  customers,  and other parties that purchase product or
provide critical  services or supplies to the Company to assess their respective
compliance with Year 2000 issues. The Company expects to complete its assessment
by June 1999.  The more  significant  issue  that may impact the  Company is the
ability of contract  manufacturers  to fulfill product orders on schedule and at
contracted costs. The Company is in the process of designing a contingency plan,

<PAGE>

but there can be no  assurance  that the  Company's  significant  suppliers  and
customers will properly address and resolve such Year 2000 issues.  Expenditures
to make the Company Year 2000  compliant  will be expensed as incurred and based
on the Company's review to date are not expected to be material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

FUTURE RESULTS

The Company's  expectations for results of operations and other  forward-looking
statements  contained  in this  report  on Form  10-Q,  particularly  statements
relating to the  sustainability  of profitable  growth,  the impact of year 2000
issues,  and expected  results from the Company's  product line  diversification
into the digital  television  and audio  markets,  involve a number of risks and
uncertainties.  Among the factors that could affect future operating results are
the following:  business conditions and general economic conditions;  changes in
legislation or industry  initiatives  that may affect the ability of the Company
to sell its  products;  competitive  factors,  such as the pricing and marketing
efforts  of  rival  companies;  timing  of  product  introductions;  success  of
competing  or  future   technologies;   ability  to  negotiate  reduced  product
manufacturing  costs;  the ability of  contract  manufacturers  to meet  product
specifications, target pricing, and shipment schedules; and the pace and success
of product research and development,  particularly  with the digital  television
and audio  products;  and the successful  integration  of California  Audio Labs
which was acquired by the Company  effective April 1, 1998. The Company's future
results may be affected by the Digital  Millennium  Copyright Act of 1998 which,
among  other  requirements,  requires  all  analog  VHS  format  video  cassette
recorders  sold in the United States after April 2000 to recognize  anti-copying
technology  that uses the  automatic  gain control  feature.  Conforming  to the
automatic gain control copy  technology  would prevent  consumers from using the
Company's  videocassette  recorders  sold after April 2000 from copying  certain
technically  protected  tapes.  The  Company  intends to modify its  products to
comply with the  requirements of this new legislation by the relevant  effective
dates.  The  Company  is unable to  determine  what the  effect of the  required
modification may be on future sales of its video cassette recorder products, but
believes  that any  negative  effects  may be  mitigated  by the  fact  that the
Company's  Dual-Deck  VCR offers  numerous  feature  benefits to consumers  over
single-deck  VCR's and by the  Company's  success over the last several years in
significantly  reducing  the  price  premium  paid by  consumers  for the  added
features of its line of Dual-Deck VCR's over single-deck VCR's.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Net cash used by operating activities was $8.6 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998  compared to cash  provided by  operations of $0.2 million for
the nine months ended December 31, 1997. The more significant factors comprising
the net cash  used  were an $8.5  million  increase  in  inventories  and a $6.8
million  increase  in  accounts  receivable,  offset  in part by a $4.3  million
increase in accounts  payable.  The increase in the inventory balance from March
31, 1998 to December  31, 1998 was  primarily  due to increased  inventories  of
DDVCR's in  anticipation of higher sales,  the April 1, 1998  acquisition of Cal
Audio,  and the receipt of initial  shipments  of digital  televisions  from the
Company's  television  manufacturer.  The  increase in the  accounts  receivable
balance was  primarily  due to  increased  sales  levels of DDVCR's and the late
November  1998  commencement  of  television  sales,  as the  Company's  average
collection  experience  has  generally  remained  consistent.  The  increase  in
accounts  payable  reflects  higher  inventory  purchases and a  lengthening  of
regular  payment  terms   negotiated   with  one  of  the  Company's   principal
manufacturers as compared to the same period of the prior year.

The Company had net working capital of $8.9 million and $9.0 million at December
31, 1998 and March 31, 1998,  respectively.  At December 31, 1998, the Company's
current ratio (the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was 1.4 to 1.

The Company's sales growth and seasonality  requires incremental working capital
for investment in inventories and  receivables,  which the Company has primarily
funded  through a revolving line of credit with Congress  Financial  Corporation
("Congress").  The financing agreement with Congress was entered into in October
1992 and was last  amended  in August  1998.  The  maximum  line of  credit,  as
amended,  is $20.0 million,  limited by a borrowing base  determined by specific
<PAGE>

inventory and receivable balances and provides for cash loans, letters of credit
and  acceptances.  The  agreement,  as amended,  expires in November 2002 with a
prepayment (if applicable) fee of 1.0% through November 1999, 0.5% from December
1999 until November 2000, and 0.25% in the remaining two years of the agreement.
Loans are  priced at the  lender's  prime  lending  rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus
2.75%. The lender is collateralized by all assets of the Company. The unused and
available  line of credit at  December  31,  1998 was $3.4  million.  Management
believes its current  financial  resources to be adequate to support  operations
over the next twelve months.

In August 1996, the Company sold $1.5 million of convertible  subordinated notes
in a private  placement with  institutional  holders.  Notes  outstanding  after
August 1999 must be converted  to common stock at the option of the Company.  As
of December 31, 1998,  $1.1 million of the notes had been  converted into common
stock.

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Loewe Opta
GmbH of  Kronach,  Bavaria,  Germany,  to  develop  and market a line of digital
television  products  designed  specifically for the North American market.  The
initial  agreement is effective  through January 1, 2003 with built in five year
extensions.  The Company  incurred  fees totaling $2.3 million for the exclusive
right to market and  distribute  Loewe Opta  direct  view  televisions  in North
America.  The Company  received  its first  shipments  of product  from Loewe in
November 1998.

On April 1, 1998 the Company acquired California Audio Labs, L.L.C. ("California
Audio Labs").  California Audio Labs designs,  develops,  and assembles  digital
audio and video products  marketed to the  high-performance  home theater market
under the  California  Audio Labs and  Cinevision  brand names.  The Company has
incurred  and  expects to continue to incur  increased  expenses  related to the
integration and development of the California  Audio Labs business and therefore
anticipates  operating  losses from its line of  California  Audio Labs products
during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999.

The Company leases a 33,000 square foot executive office and warehouse  facility
in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is fully utilized and in good condition. The lease
began in  January  1996  and has a term of seven  years,  with  one  three  year
extension at the option of the Company. The Company is currently considering its
space requirements in relation to its business plan, which anticipates increased
needs for personnel,  office, and warehousing space. As such, the Company may be
required to seek additional  space and/or to remodel its existing  space,  which
would increase the Company's overall rental costs

INFLATION

Inflation has had no material  effect on the  Company's  operations or financial
condition.
