                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. Certain items included
in these statements are based on management estimates. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting of normal, recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company at September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996 and
the statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

2.)  EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
     Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share has been determined
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the respective period
unless their effect was antidilutive.

3.)  SEASONALITY
     Historically, the Company's net sales are greater during the holiday season
than during other periods of the year. Net sales by fiscal quarters and their
related percentages for the trailing four quarters ended September 30, 1996 and
1995 are as follows:

5.)  PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES
     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized the
maximum available tax benefit associated with their net operating loss
carryback. Any losses in excess of the amount carried back will be carried
forward. The tax benefit of the net operating loss carryforward will be
recognized as the Company generates taxable income or determines that it is more
likely than not that taxable income will be generated during the loss
carryforward period.


6.)  STOCK OPTIONS
     During the first quarter ended September 30, 1996 incentive stock options
covering an aggregate of 11,000 shares of common stock having an exercise price
of $7.27 per share expired.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         The Company's net sales for the quarter ended September 30,1996,
decreased to $40,351,000 compared to $44,165,000 in the prior year resulting in
a decrease of $3,814,000 or 8.6% over the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The
decrease is primarily attributable to the Company's decision to eliminate
personal computers and other non-performing low margin products from the product
mix. In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, sales were impacted by the weather
related effects of Hurricane Erin. Comparable store net sales decreased 9.3% in
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 over the corresponding quarter in the prior
year. The Company's operations, in common with other retailers in general, are
subject to seasonal influences. Historically, the Company has realized more of
its net sales and operating income in the second quarter ending in December.

         Gross profit decreased by $341,000 or 2.7% in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The
reduction in gross profit is primarily related to the reduction in net sales,
net of the increase in gross profit percentage. The gross profit percentage was
30.5% in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 28.6% in the
quarter ended September 30, 1995. This increase in gross profit percentage is
directly related to the Company's renewed specialty retailing focus on value
added selling in the core categories of high end audio, video and mobile
electronics.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased by
$1,403,000 or 10.5% in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 over the same
quarter in the prior year. The overall decrease is primarily attributable to
cost reduction programs initiated by the Company primarily in the areas of
advertising and personnel expense. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased
to 29.6% from 30.3% in the same three months of the prior fiscal year.

         Interest expense nominally increased by $15,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 over the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was
primarily reflective of a higher effective interest rate under the Company's
revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 1997 on a decreased level
of borrowing as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.

         The Company did not record a tax provision for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 due to an offsetting net operating loss carryforward. The
remaining tax benefit of the net operating loss carryforward will be recognized
as the Company generates taxable income or determines that it is more likely
than not that future taxable income will be generated during the remaining loss
carryforward period. The tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
reflects an effective income tax benefit of 27.2% associated with the Company's
net operating loss carryback to the extent recoverable from federal income taxes
paid during the carryback period.

                                     Page 9

<PAGE>

         Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $4,000 or $.00
per share compared to net loss of $757,000 or $.20 per share for the same
quarter in the previous year. The net income in the first quarter of the 1997
fiscal year was primarily attributable to the reduction in SG&A expenses in
excess of the overall lower gross profit dollars.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
         Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2,933,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996. The Company had working capital of
approximately $8,328,000 at September 30, 1996, as compared to the $8,625,000 in
working capital at June 30, 1996 for an overall decrease of $297,000. The
increase in current assets of $3,006,000 during the three month period was
primarily related to the $3,235,000 increase in inventory, as well as a $677,000
increase in accounts receivable, which was partially offset by a decrease in
cash of $843,000. The increase in current assets of $3,006,000 was offset by a
net increase of $3,303,000 in current liabilities primarily resulting from an
increase of $2,507,000 in borrowings under the revolving credit facility, with
the increase in accrued liabilities of $1,483,000 largely offset by the decrease
in trade payables of $1,297,000. The increase in inventory results from the
initial purchases of product for the holiday season and is the primary reason
for the increase in the revolving credit facility.

         The Company currently believes that funds from the Company's operations
combined with borrowings available under its revolving credit facility and
vendor credit programs will be sufficient to satisfy its currently projected
operating cash requirement for fiscal 1997, including capital expenditures
required in connection with the relocation of one of its stores which is
scheduled for opening in the second fiscal quarter. The Company's operating
performance has improved as a result of the elimination of personal computers
and other non-performing products from its product mix together with a return to
it's traditional speciality retailing focus on value added selling in the core
categories of high end audio, video and mobile electronics.
