                       THE GOOD GUYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
        prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
        reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
        necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained therein.
        The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31,
        1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
        expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements should
        be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and
        supplementary data included and incorporated by reference in the
        Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
        30, 1997.

2.      Net Income per common share has been computed in accordance with
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
        Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 requires a dual presentation of basic and
        diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net
        income available to common shareholders by the weighted average of
        common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
        potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to
        issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Net
        income per common share for prior periods have been restated to conform
        to SFAS 128.

3.      New Accounting Pronouncements:

        SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes standards for
        reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
        (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of general-purpose
        financial statements. This statement requires that all items that are
        required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
        comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
        displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. In
        addition, this statement requires that an enterprise classify items of
        other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and
        display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
        from the retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the equity
        section of a statement of financial position. This statement is
        effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management
        believes this will have no impact on the Company's financial position or
        results of operations.

        SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segment Reporting of an Enterprise and
        Related Information" 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 issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for
        related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas, and
        major customers. The adoption of this statement will not impact the
        Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and
        any effect will be limited to the form and content of its disclosures.
        This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
        15, 1997.

Item 2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS


To the extent forward-looking statements are made in this Form 10-Q, such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including but not
limited to increases in promotional activities of the Company's competitors,
changes in consumer buying attitudes, the presence or absence of new products or
product features in the Company's merchandise categories, changes in vendor
support for advertising and promotional programs, changes in the Company's
merchandise sales mix, general economic conditions, and other factors referred
to in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K under "Information Regarding
Forward Looking Statements".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $209.1 million, an increase
of 2% from sales of $205.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. For the
six months ended March 31, 1998, net sales increased 2% to $499.4 million,
compared to $491.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997. Comparable
store sales increased 2% for the quarter and 1% for the six months ended March
31, 1998.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 25.0% for the quarter ended March
31, 1998, as compared to 25.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. For the six
months ended March 31, 1998, gross profit as a percentage of sales was 24.8%
compared to 25.1% for the six months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in gross
profit was primarily due to shifts in product mix between extended warranties
and other product categories.

For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, selling, general and administrative
expenses were 26.4% of net sales compared to 27.8% for the quarter ended March
31, 1997. For the six months ended March 31, 1998, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 24.6% of net sales as compared to 25.5% of net
sales for the six months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in selling, general
and administrative costs as a percentage of sales for the quarter and six months
ended March 31, 1998 is primarily due to reductions in general and
administrative and advertising expenses and an increase in same store sales.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter and six months ended March 31,
1998 was 36.8% as compared with 38.3% and 35.6% for the quarter and six months
ended March 31, 1997, respectively.

The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $2.0 million ($0.14 per
share) or 0.9% of net sales for the period. These results compare to a net loss
of $3.3 million ($0.24 per share) or 1.6% of net sales for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997. For the six months ended March 31, 1998, net income was $409,000
($0.03 per share) or 0.1% of net sales as compared to a net loss of $1.3 million
($ 0.10 per share) or 0.3% of net sales for the six months ended March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $54.2 million. Net cash
used in operating activities was $7.7 million for the six months ended March 31,
1998, compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997. The
decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an
increase in net income, partially offset by an increase in merchandise
inventories.

Net cash used in investing activities, which primarily consists of expenditures
for stores, distribution facilities and administrative property and equipment,
was $7.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $1.5
million during the same period last year. This increase in cash used in
investing activities primarily relates to the building of new stores and the
continued remodeling of existing stores to the new Audio/Video Exposition
format. The Company continues to identify stores for remodeling to the new
Audio/Video Exposition format and plans to renovate four to seven existing
locations in calendar 1998. In addition, the Company plans to open three new
stores in the Exposition format during calendar 1998.

The Company maintains a revolving line of credit, which provides a maximum
borrowing level of $75,000,000. The credit agreement contains restrictive loan
covenants, which if violated could be used as a basis for termination of the
agreement. For the quarter ending March 31, 1998, the Company was in compliance
with all covenants under the credit agreement. There were no borrowings
outstanding under the credit agreement at March 31, 1998.

The Company expects to fund its working capital requirements and expansion plans
with a combination of cash flows from operations, normal trade credit, financing
arrangements and continued use of lease financing.

The Company believes that because of competition among manufacturers and the
technological changes in the consumer electronics industry, inflation has not
had an effect on net sales and cost of sales.

YEAR 2000

The inability of computers, software and other equipment utilizing
microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields containing a
two-digit year is commonly referred to as the Year 2000 Compliance issue. As the
year 2000 approaches, such systems may be unable to accurately process certain
data-based information.

The Company has identified all significant applications that will require
modification to ensure Year 2000 Compliance. Internal and external resources are
being used to make the required modifications and test Year 2000 Compliance. The
Company plans on completing the testing process of all significant applications
by Mid 1999.





                                        9
<PAGE>   10



In addition, the Company has communicated with others with whom it does
significant business to determine their Year 2000 Compliance readiness and the
extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any third party Year 2000 issues.
However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which
the Company's systems rely will be timely converted, or that a failure to
convert by another company, or a conversion that is incompatible with the
Company's systems, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The total cost to the Company of these Year 2000 Compliance activities has not
been and is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or results
of operations in any given year. These costs and the date on which the Company
plans to complete the Year 2000 modification and testing processes are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events including the continued availability of certain resources,
third party modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no
guarantees that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ
from those plans.
