                   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. 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 December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and the
statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31,
1995 and 1994 and statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994. The results of operations for the three and six
months ended December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996. 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, 1995.

2.)      (LOSS) EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
         (Loss) earnings per common and common equivalent share has been
determined by dividing net (loss) income 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 December 31, 1995
and 1994 are as follows:

5.)      DEBT - BANK LOAN AGREEMENT
         On October 13, 1995 the Company replaced its existing revolving credit
agreement and term loan facility. The new $20,000,000 credit facility is
comprised of a term loan of $6,680,000 and, prior to the waiver described below,
was comprised of a revolving credit facility of $13,320,000 under which the
Company was able to borrow, repay and reborrow based on the lesser of a
borrowing base equal to 65% of eligible inventory in excess of $6,680,000 or
$13,320,000. The availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit which
are limited to $1,200,000. The term loan facility bears interest at prime plus
1.5% and is payable in monthly principal installments of approximately $56,000,
and additional principal reduction of $723,000 which was paid by the due date of
November 27, 1995 and a balloon payment of the outstanding balance at December
31, 1996. The revolving credit facility matures on December 31, 1996, and bears
interest on the outstanding balance at prime plus 1%. The Company paid a 1.375%
commitment fee in connection with the new facility and is obligated to pay
additional fees of .75% on February 28, 1996, 1% on July 1, 1996 and 1% on
September 30, 1996, based on the original committed amount of the term loan and
revolving credit facility, plus certain additional amounts on such dates in
connection with the waiver described below.

         At December 31, 1995, the Company was unable to comply with certain
financial covenants concerning interest coverage, fixed charge coverage, total
liabilities to tangible net worth and tangible net worth as required under the
terms of the new revolving credit agreement and term loan facility. The Company
has obtained from its lender a waiver with respect to non-compliance with these
financial covenants at December 31, 1995 and the suspension of the calculation
of these covenants until May 15, 1996, at which time such covenants will be
calculated based on the financial statements for the period ended March 31,
1996. In connection with the issuance of the waiver, the availability under the
revolving credit portion of the facility has been reduced from a maximum of
$13,320,000 to $9,320,000 and the commitment fees due February 28, 1996, July 1,
1996 and September 30, 1996, have been increased by an additional $10,000,
$25,000 and $50,000, respectively. Upon expiration of the waiver period, the
Company expects to remain in non-compliance with certain of these financial
covenants and will need to

                                     Page 8

<PAGE>

request an additional extension of the waiver, or a modification of such
financial covenants as to which it remains in non-compliance, from its lender.
(See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Financial Condition.")

6.)      PROVISION FOR DISPOSAL OF INVENTORY
         The Company recorded an estimated provision for loss totalling
$1,500,000 which is included in Cost of Goods Sold to reduce the market value of
its inventory of personal computers and related accessories which are being
eliminated from the Company's product mix. Included in the loss provision are
the estimated writedown of inventory to net realizable value and expenses
associated with the sale and disposal of the inventory. (See "Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Results of Operations.")

7.)      PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES
         During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company has recorded
all tax benefits available for accounting recognition. As a result, the tax
benefit does not reflect the expected percentage relationship to the losses
incurred. In future periods, no tax benefit or provision will be recognized
until the Company has recorded pre-tax income.

8.)      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
         Effective as of July 1, 1995, the employment agreements for two of the
Company's executive officers were extended to June 30, 1996 on substantially the
same terms and conditions as in effect under their respective employment
agreements during fiscal year 1995.

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 December 31,1995,
decreased to $53,260,000 compared to $60,854,000 in the prior year resulting in
a decrease of $7,594,000 or 12.5% over the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The
decrease is primarily attributable to reduced sales in December due to increased
competition on widely available lower end electronic products and softness in
consumer demand for electronics as compared to prior years. The Company believes
that part of the reduction is also attributed to consumer concerns over the
general economy and increased levels of consumer debt. Comparable store net
sales decreased 15.4% in the quarter ended December 31, 1995 over the
corresponding quarter in the prior year. The comparable store sales were
adjusted to exclude the new store opened in November 1994 and another relocated
to a larger showroom in December 1994. 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.

         Net sales of $97,425,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995,
decreased by $10,149,000 or 9.4% over the corresponding period in the prior
fiscal year. The decrease in net sales during the first three months of the 1996
six month period is primarily attributable to weather related effects of
Hurricane Erin during the August annual scratch and dent sale and increased
competition on lower end electronic products. The decrease in net sales during
the second three months of the 1996 six month period is attributable, as stated
above, to increased competition on widely available lower end electronic
products, softness in consumer demand for electronic products which the Company
believes is partially attributable to consumer concerns over the general economy
and increased levels of consumer debt. Comparable store sales decreased 13.4% in
the six months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the corresponding six month
period in the prior year.

         Gross profit decreased by $3,749,000 or 21.2% in the quarter ended
December 31, 1995, compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year which
is related to the corresponding reduction in net sales and includes a $1,500,000
provision for loss on personal computer inventory and related accessories in
connection with such product category's elimination from the Company's product
mix through subsequent sale and disposal. See note 6 to Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. Exclusive of this provision, the gross profit percentage
was 29.0% as compared to the 29.1% in the comparable quarter of the prior year.

         Gross profit decreased by $5,618,000 or 16.2% in the six months ended
December 31, 1995 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The
reduction in gross profit is related to the corresponding reduction in net
sales, the $1,500,000 provision for loss on personal computers and inclusion of
personal computers in the product mix for the full six months of fiscal 1996 as
compared to only

                                     Page 10

<PAGE>

six weeks in the first six months of fiscal 1995. Exclusive of the provision for
loss on the sale and disposal of personal computers, the gross margin for the
six month period was 28.8% as compared to 30.0% in the comparable six months in
the prior year.

           Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased by
$157,000 and $349,000 in the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1995 over
the corresponding periods in the prior year. Decreases in SG&A expenses in both
periods were attributable to cost cutting programs initiated by the Company
which were largely offset by increased selling expenses. The increased selling
expenses reflected the net effect of increased advertising expenditures over
reduced salesmen's commissions on lower sales volume. As a percentage of sales,
SG&A expenses increased to 29.5% and 29.8% in the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1995 from 26.1% and 27.3% respectively, in the comparable periods
of the previous fiscal year. These percentage increases are directly
attributable to the reduction in net sales from the previous comparable period.

         Interest expense increased by $90,000 for the quarter and $166,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the same periods of the prior
year. The increase was primarily reflective of the increased borrowing under the
Company's revolving credit facility at higher interest rates during fiscal 1996.

         The Company had an effective income tax benefit of approximately 8.2%
for the quarter and 14.5% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 compared to
an effective income tax provision of 38.5% in the same periods of the prior
fiscal year. The recorded tax benefit in fiscal 1996 does not reflect the
expected percentage relationship to the losses incurred as tax benefits
available for recognition have been fully realized. See note 7 to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 was $1,960,000 or $.53
per share compared to net income of $915,000 or $.24 per share for the same
quarter in the previous year. Net loss for the six months ended December 31,
1995 was $2,717,000 or $.73 per share compared to net income of $1,351,000 or
$.36 per share in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The net loss in the
1996 fiscal year was primarily attributable to the reduction in net sales, the
reduction in gross profit percentage (of which $1,500,000 is attributable to the
provision for loss on personal computers) and increased interest expense.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
         Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $681,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1995. The Company had working capital of
approximately $8,626,000 at December 31, 1995, as compared to the $10,084,000 in
working capital at June 30, 1995 for an overall decrease of $1,458,000. The
increase in current assets of $1,775,000 during the six month period was
primarily related to the $2,014,000 increase in inventory. The increase in
current assets of $1,775,000 was partially offset by a net increase of
$3,234,000 in current liabilities primarily resulting from an increase in trade
payables of $1,181,000 and a $3,320,000 increase in current

portion of long-term debt, which were partially offset by the decrease in
borrowings under the revolving credit agreement of $2,146,000.

         The Company's revolving credit facility was replaced on October 13,
1995 with a $20,000,000 credit facility comprised of a term loan facility in the
amount of $6,680,000 and a revolving credit facility which, prior to the waiver
described below, had enabled the Company to borrow, repay and reborrow up to
$13,320,000 limited to a borrowing base equal to 65% of eligible inventory (as
defined) in excess of $6,680,000. The borrowing availability under the revolving
credit facility is reduced by the outstanding standby letters of credit issued
pursuant to a letter of credit subfacility of up to $1,200,000. The term loan
facility bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% per annum and is repayable
as follows: (i) monthly installments of principal in the approximate amount of
$56,000 plus accrued interest payable on the first day of each month commencing
November 1, 1995, through December 31, 1996 (the "Maturity Date"), (ii) a
principal reduction payment of $723,000 which was paid by the due date of
November 27, 1995, and (iii) a balloon principal payment of approximately
$5,178,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest due on the Maturity Date. The
revolving credit facility bears interest at the prime rate plus 1% per annum
with monthly interest only installments payable until the Maturity Date, at
which time the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest
thereon is due in full. The Company paid at closing a structuring and facility
fee equal to 1.375% of the committed amount of the new credit facility, and is
obligated to pay so long as the credit facility is outstanding the following
additional fees: (a) 3/4% on February 28, 1996, (b) 1% on July 1, 1996, and (c)
1% on September 30, 1996, of the original committed amount of the term loan and
revolving credit facility, plus certain additional amounts on such dates in
connection with the waiver described below. The financing arrangements under the
new credit facility are collaterized by, among other assets, the Company's
accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, general intangibles, tax refund
receivable and depository accounts.

         At December 31, 1995, the Company was unable to comply with certain
financial covenants concerning interest coverage, fixed charge coverage, total
liabilities to tangible net worth and tangible net worth as required under the
terms of the new revolving credit agreement and term loan facility. The Company
has obtained from its lender a waiver with respect to non-compliance with these
financial covenants at December 31, 1995 and the suspension of the calculation
of these covenants until May 15, 1996, at which time such covenants will be
calculated based on the financial statements for the period ended March 31,
1996. In connection with the issuance of the waiver, the availability under the
revolving credit portion of the facility has been reduced from a maximum of
$13,320,000 to $9,320,000 and the commitment fees due February 28, 1996, July 1,
1996 and September 30, 1996, have been increased by $10,000, $25,000 and
$50,000, respectively. See note 5 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         The Company currently believes funds from the Company's operations
combined with borrowings available under the new credit facility, as revised in
connection with the

                                     Page 12

<PAGE>

issuance of the waiver from the lender, and vendor financing arrangements will
be sufficient to satisfy its currently projected operating cash requirements
through the waiver expiration on May 15, 1996. However, an extension of the
lender's waiver under terms satisfactory to the Company or replacement of the
facility under less restrictive terms will be required for the Company to have
adequate financing sources beyond that date. The Company anticipates improvement
in its operating performance as a result of the elimination of personal
computers from its product mix and renewed focus on value added retailing in its
core categories of high end audio, video and mobile electronics. The Company is
currently seeking to replace the present credit facility under more favorable
terms, but no assurances can be given that this can be accomplished prior to the
expiration of the waiver or if at all. Prior to expiration of the waiver and if
no replacement financing has been obtained, the Company intends to negotiate
with the lender for an extension of the waiver or the necessary modifications to
the financial covenants. The Company currently expects to obtain an extension or
such necessary modifications if operations have improved, although no assurances
of a potential waiver extension or granting of such necessary modifications, or
regarding the terms thereof, have been received from the lender.
