                        THE VILLAGE GREEN BOOKSTORE, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.                    The consolidated balance sheet as of July 30, 1995
                  and the consolidated statements of operations for the
                  three and six months ended July 30, 1995 and July 31,
                  1994, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
                  six months ended July 30, 1995 and July 31, 1994 have
                  been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the
                  opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
                  only normal adjustments) necessary to present fairly
                  the financial position, results of operations and
                  changes in financial position at those dates have been
                  made.  The operating results for the quarter ended July
                  30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
                  that may be expected for the fiscal period ending
                  January 28, 1996, as the Company's sales volume is
                  seasonal.

Note 2.                    The Company completed a private placement on June
                  28, 1993 (the "1993 Private Placement").  This private
                  placement consisted of $1,800,000 7.5% senior
                  subordinated secured notes and $200,000 for 400,000
                  shares of common stock.  Costs associated with this
                  private placement have been allocated between the debt
                  and equity portions of the private placement.  The
                  costs allocated to the equity portion offset the
                  increase in additional paid-in capital.  The
                  unamortized costs allocated to the debt portion were
                  expensed in full during the quarter ended April 30,
                  1995 as the principal was repaid from the proceeds of
                  the Public Offering (see Note 4).

Note 3.                    On April 28, 1994, the Company consummated a
                  private placement with respect to an aggregate of $1.2
                  million Principal Amount 7% Convertible Senior
                  Subordinated Debentures of the Company due two years
                  from the date of issuance, convertible into shares of
                  the Company's Common Stock at any time prior to
                  maturity, unless previously redeemed, at an initial
                  conversion price of $5.00 per share.

                           The Debentures are subordinated in right of payment
                  to any future bank indebtedness up to $1 million and are
                  expressly senior in right of payment to all other Company
                  obligations (but subordinated to the payment of any future
                  bank or institutional indebtedness up to $1 million). The
                  Debentures are

                                        7

                  redeemable, in whole only, from time to time at the option of
                  the Company at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
                  principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, provided that
                  the Debentures may not be redeemed prior to maturity unless,
                  during any period of 20 consecutive trading days ending within
                  30 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption, the
                  market price for the Common Stock is at least 125% of the
                  conversion price.

                           Costs associated with this debt, totalling $190,250,
                  have been included in Deferred Debt Issuance Costs and will be
                  amortized over the life of the debt, which is two years.

                           Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually.

Note 4.                    On March 23, 1995, the Company consummated a public
                  offering of 2,000,000 Units through Thomas James Associates,
                  Inc., now known as H.J. Meyers & Co., Inc. as Representative
                  of the Underwriters. Each Unit consisted of one share of the
                  Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share and one
                  Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant. The public offering
                  price of the Units was $3.00 per Unit. The net proceeds of the
                  Public Offering was approximately $4.7 million, giving effect
                  to expenses related to the offering.

                           The Company retired all outstanding indebtedness from
                  the 1993 Private Placement with the net proceeds from the
                  Public Offering.

Note 5.                    On April 30, 1995, the Company received net proceeds
                  of approximately $569,000 pursuant to the partial exercise of
                  the over-allotment option in connection with the public
                  offering.

Note 6.                    In May, 1995, the Company retired its 186,500 shares
                  of Treasury Stock.

     Net sales for the three months ended July 30, 1995 were $2,554,002 as
compared with $2,294,729 for the three months ended July 31, 1994, an increase
of 11.3%. For the six months ended July 30, 1995, net sales were $4,977,150, as
compared with $4,570,082 for the six months ended July 31, 1995. Comparable
store sales decreased by 0.8% for the six month period. Sales at the two new
stores have not met expectations due to low name recognition in their respective
markets.

     Gross profit margin for the three months ending July 30, 1995 was 37.9%, as
compared to 36.8% for the same period last year. For the six months ended July
30, 1995, gross profit margin was 37.9% as compared to 36.6% for the six months
ended July 31, 1994. In absolute dollars, gross profit increased from $845,222
for the three months ended July 31, 1994 to $967,164 for the three months ended
July 30, 1995. For the six months ended July 30, 1995, absolute gross profit
dollars increased to $1,887,936 from $1,674,350 for the six months ended July
31, 1994. The increase in absolute gross profit dollars of $121,942 and $213,586
for the three and six month periods presented resulted from improved margins and
increased sales volume during the current fiscal year.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended
July 30, 1995 increased by $222,630, or 25.0%. For the six months ended July 30,
1995, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $375,676, or
21.6%. The increases are attributable to the operation of two additional stores
during the current fiscal year as against the same period last year. On a same
store basis, selling, general and

                                       11

administrative expenses increased by approximately $53,500 for the three months
ended July 30, 1995 over the three months ended July 31, 1994. For the six
months ended July 30, 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased on a same store basis by approximately $79,000 over the six months
ended July 31, 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Working capital was $3,725,402 at July 30, 1995, as compared to $281,325 as
of January 29, 1995. This increase was principally the result of the Public
Offering and repayment of the debt associated with the 1993 Private Placement.
The Company's current ratio as of July 30, 1995 was 2.01 to one, as compared to
1.05 to one at January 29, 1995.

     Each Unit of the Public Offering consisted of one share of the Company's
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase
Warrant. The Public Offering price of the Units was $3.00 per Unit. The net
proceeds of the Public Offering was approximately $4.7 million, giving effect to
expenses related to the offering.

     On April 30, 1995, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$569,000 pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option in
connection with the Public Offering.

     The Company retired all outstanding indebtedness from the 1993 Private
Placement with the net proceeds from the Public Offering.

     At present, the Company has sufficient capital resources and cash flow to
maintain operations and to increase the number of its retail stores by two to
three units . The Company is seeking a new banking relationship in order to
establish a line of credit to finance its working capital requirements.
