                       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 months ended December 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, 1998.


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. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, there
     were certain stock options outstanding that were excluded from the
     computation of earnings per share, because their exercise prices exceeded
     the average market price for the periods presented.

3.   On November 12, 1998, the Company re-priced all employee stock options to
     $5.0938, the closing market price at that date.


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 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K under "Information Regarding
Forward Looking Statements".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 were $294.1 million, an
increase of 1% from sales of $290.3 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1997. During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, comparable store sales decreased
2%. Sales of new digital technologies, such as DVD, camcorders, audio components
and digital television were strong, but these sales gains were more than offset
by sluggish sales in the more commodity oriented categories of home office,
small screen television, portable audio and stereo systems. The 1% increase in
overall sales was primarily attributable to three new stores, which generated
approximately $7.8 million in sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. As
a percent of net sales, Premier Performance Guarantee contracts were 4.4% for
the quarter ended December 31, 1998, compared to 5.0% for the same period last
year.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 24.3% for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998, as compared to 24.7% for the comparable fiscal 1998 period.
The decrease in gross profit percentage resulted primarily from the reduction in
the sales mix of the higher margin Premier Performance Guarantee contracts.

For the quarter ended December 31, 1998, selling, general and administrative
expenses were 23.2% of net sales compared to 23.3% for the comparable fiscal
1998 period. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs as a
percentage of sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 is primarily due to
reductions in general and administrative and advertising expenses as a
percentage of sales.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 was 36.6%
compared with 36.8% for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 was $1.7 million ($0.12 per
share) or 0.6% of net sales for the period. These results compare to net income
of $2.4 million ($0.18 per share) or 0.8% of net sales for the same period in
fiscal 1998.

The Company continues to focus on quality execution to enhance customer
satisfaction, incorporation of the Audio/Video Exposition format in all new and
many existing stores, and the introduction of new technologies. By focusing on
these three areas, the Company expects to return to profitability and earnings
per share growth. However, the return to profitability is contingent on many
factors, including, but not limited to the development of consumer acceptance of
new technologies, consumer demand for existing technologies, the presence or
absence of new features on existing Merchandise, and economic conditions in the
regions in which our stores are located.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $34.7 million. Net cash
provided by operating activities was $13.5 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, compared to $13.9 million for the three months ended December
31, 1997. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was
primarily due to a decreased net income.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9


Net cash used in investing activities, which primarily consists of expenditures
for stores, distribution facilities and administrative property and equipment,
was $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998, as compared to
$4.5 million provided during the same period last year. During the first quarter
ending December 31, 1998, the Company opened its fourth and fifth WOW! concept
stores as Audio/Video Exposition-Enhanced WOW! stores, one of which replaced an
existing store. The Company also opened two new stores in the Audio/Video
Exposition format. In fiscal 1999, the Company intends to renovate at least six
existing stores to the Audio/Video Exposition format at a net cost estimated at
approximately $7.8 million.

The Company maintains a revolving credit agreement, which allows borrowings of
up to $75,000,000. The agreement requires maintenance of certain financial loan
covenants, including minimum tangible net worth, restrictions on capital
expenditures and prohibits payment of cash dividends, which, if violated, could
be used as a basis for termination of the agreement. The line of credit is
secured by the Company's assets. For the quarter ending December 31, 1998, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement. The
credit line also includes a standby letter of credit facility. There were no
borrowings outstanding under the line of credit and $1,000,000 of the commitment
was reserved under the letter of credit facility at December 31, 1998.

The Company expects to fund its working capital requirements and expansion
plans, including remodels and relocations, 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 a material effect on net sales and cost of sales.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

As used by the Company, "Year 2000 compliance" means that the Operating Systems
(OS), Data Base Systems, Application or Business Systems have been reviewed to
confirm that they store, process (including sorting and performing mathematical
operations), input, and output data containing date information correctly,
regardless of whether the data contains dates before, on or after January 1,
2000.

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 anticipates that all testing will be concluded on or about September 30,
1999.

In addition, the Company is seeking assurances from vendors, suppliers and other
third parties with whom it does significant business to determine their Year
2000 Compliance readiness and the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to
any 



                                       9
<PAGE>   10


third party Year 2000 issues. Currently, the Company is unable to assess the
likelihood that it will experience significant operational problems due to
unresolved Year 2000 issues of third parties who do business with the Company.
There can be no assurance that other entities will achieve timely Year 2000
compliance. If they do not, Year 2000 problems could have a material impact on
the Company's operations. Similarly, there can be no assurance that the Company
can timely mitigate its risks related to a supplier's failure to resolve its
Year 2000 issues. If such mitigation is not achievable, Year 2000 problems could
have a material impact on the Company's operations.

The Company estimates that the total cost of achieving Year 2000 Compliance will
be in the range of $2,500,000 to $3,500,000 of which $1,963,000 was spent
through Sept. 30, 1998. 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. The Company, however, does not anticipate that these costs
will be material to its financial position or results of operations in any given
year.


                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On July 19, 1996, McBride-Newell, Inc. dba Carphones, Inc. and numerous other
individuals and entitled McBride-Newell, Inc., et al. v. Mobilworks, Inc., et
al., San Diego Superior Court Case No. 695897. Plaintiffs, who are small agents
of the cellular service providers offering cellular telephone products and
service in the San Diego area, alleged a conspiracy to sell cellular telephone
equipment below cost with the intent to drive the plaintiffs out of business.
This case was settled in November 1998 for an amount that is not material to the
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

On or about July 22, 1996, Jo Quattrini dba Sand Canyon Cellular and numerous
other individuals and entities filed a complaint against the Company and 20
other named defendants entitled Quattrini, et al. v. Pana-Pacific Corp., et al.,
Orange County Superior Court Case No. 766649. Plaintiffs, who are small agents
or subagents of the cellular service providers offering cellular telephone
products and service in the Orange County area, allege a conspiracy to sell
cellular telephone equipment below cost with the intent to drive plaintiffs out
of business. Plaintiffs seek treble damages under the California antitrust laws.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in the
lawsuit and intends to defend the action vigorously and does not believe that
the outcome will be material to the financial condition, results of operation or
liquidity of the Company.

The Company was named in July of this year as defendant in an action entitled
Cavnar, et al. v. National Semiconductor Corp., et al., No. 996297, San
Francisco Superior Court, along with many other defendants. Plaintiffs'
Complaint is styled as a class action and the primary allegation involving the
Company is that the Company's advertisements have misrepresented the amount of
random access memory in certain computers that is available for programming and
processing applications. The Company, along with several of the other retailer
defendants, filed demurrers to several of the Plaintiffs' causes of action,
which were granted without leave to amend. Two claims remain. The Company
believes it has claims for meritorious indemnification from the computer
manufacturers from which it has purchased personal computers. The Company
intends to defend the action and pursue its indemnification claims vigorously
and does not believe that the outcome will be material to the financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

                     CONSENT AND REAFFIRMATION OF GUARANTOR

        Reference is hereby made to the foregoing Second Amendment to Loan 
Agreement ("Second Amendment") dated as of January 1, 1999, by and among The 
Good Guys - California, Inc., a California corporation ("Borrower"), each of 
the financial institutions from time to time listed on Schedule I attached to 
the Loan Agreement described therein, as amended from time to time 
(collectively, the "Lenders"), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association 
("Wells Fargo"), as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Agent").

        In order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Second 
Amendment, the undersigned hereby consents to the execution, delivery and 
performance by Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders of the Second Amendment and 
all other documents, instruments and agreements now or hereafter executed in 
connection therewith (collectively, together with the Second Amendment, the 
"Second Amendment Documents"). In connection therewith, the undersigned (a) 
expressly and knowingly reaffirms its liability under the Continuing Guaranty 
dated as of September 29, 1997 (the "Guaranty") and any and all security 
agreements, pledge agreements, deeds of trust, mortgages and other collateral 
documents (collectively, together with the Guaranty, the "Third Party 
Documents") heretofore executed and delivered by the undersigned from time to 
time in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, (b) expressly 
agrees to be and remain liable under the terms of such Third Party Documents 
for the obligations of Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders and (c) 
acknowledges that it has no defense, offset or counterclaim whatsoever against 
the Agent or the Lenders with respect to the Third Party Documents to which it 
is a party.

        The undersigned further agrees that the Third Party Documents to which 
it is a party shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and 
confirmed and shall guarantee payment and performance of, or continue to 
constitute collateral security for, as the case may be, of all of Borrower's 
obligations under the Loan Agreement and related Loan Documents, as any one or 
more of the same may be amended by the Second Amendment Documents. The 
undersigned acknowledges that (a) none of the Agent or the Lenders has any 
obligation to inform it of the particulars of any modification or amendment to 
the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document executed in connection therewith, 
and (b) it has established satisfactory means by which Borrower keeps it 
informed with respect to any modification of or amendment to the Loan Agreement 
and related Loan Documents.

        The undersigned further agrees that the execution of this Consent and 
Reaffirmation is not necessary for the continued validity and enforceability of 
the Third Party Documents to which it is a party, but is executed to induce the 
Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Second Amendment Documents. The 
undersigned further agrees that none of the Agent or the Lenders shall have any 
obligation to notify it of any actions or omissions to act with respect to its 
dealings with Borrower.
