                       SOUND ADVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 October 31, 2000 and January 31, 2000 and
the statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended October 31,
2000 and 1999 and statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended
October 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the three and nine
months ended October 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2001. 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 period ended January 31, 2000.

2.)      EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available
to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the diluted
potential common shares had been issued. The diluted effect of outstanding
options is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the
treasury stock method.

6.)      ACQUISTION

         On October 17, 2000, the Company purchased the assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Showcase Home Entertainment of the Southwest, LLC., a
Scottsdale, Arizona based retailer of consumer electronics and custom design
services. The purchase price for the acquisition was $6.0 million, of which $4.5
million was paid in cash and $1.5 million was paid by issuing 172,851 shares of
common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. The excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of net
assets acquired of approximately $6.6 million was recorded as goodwill and will
be amortized over 15 years. Under the name Showcase Home Entertainment, the
Company operates two upscale showrooms in Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona, as
well as a home theater showroom in the home entertainment department of The
Great Indoors home design center located in Scottsdale. The results of
operations for Showcase have been included in the consolidated statement of
income since the date of the acquisition and are not significant to the
quarterly results. Purchase price allocations are preliminary.

7.)      TERMINATION OF COMMON STOCK OFFERING

         In November 2000, the Company terminated its previously announced
public stock offering due to the volatility in the financial marketplace. In
connection with the termination, the Company expensed $574,000 of costs
associated with the offering during the third quarter.

8.)      PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

         In the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000, the Company
recorded a provision for income taxes of $388,000 and $1,261,000, respectively,
at an effective tax rate of 39%. In the three and nine months ended October 31,
1999, the Company reduced the valuation reserve on deferred tax assets by
$374,500 and $960,000, respectively.

9.)      RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101) and amended it in March
and June 2000. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SAB 101 in the
fourth quarter of 2000.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 increased $5,353,000
or 14% to $44,616,000 compared to $39,263,000 in the corresponding period in the
prior fiscal year. The increase in sales resulted primarily from the increase in
same store sales, the relocation and expansion of a Sound Advice store in
November 1999 and the addition of one Bang & Olufsen store in February 2000. The
core category of video was primarily reponsible for the sales increase. The
largest sales increases were in projection televisions, audio speakers and
custom installations. Comparable store net sales increased 11% in the quarter
ended October 31, 2000 over the corresponding quarter in the prior year. The
comparable store sales were adjusted to exclude the new Bang & Olufsen store
opened in February 2000. Our operations, similar to those of other retailers,
are subject to seasonal influences. Historically, we have realized greater sales
and profits during the holiday selling season.

         Net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 increased
$10,693,000 or 9% to $129,107,000 compared to $118,414,000 in the corresponding
period in the prior fiscal year. As stated above, the increase in net sales for
the nine month period resulted from the increase in same store sales, the
relocation of a Sound Advice store and the addition of one Bang & Olufsen store
compared to the prior year. Overall sales increased in the core categories of
audio, video, mobile products and furniture. For the nine months, the largest
sales increases were in projection televisions, audio speakers, and custom
installations. Comparable store net sales, adjusted for the new store, increased
8% in the nine months ended October 31, 2000 compared to the corresponding nine
month period in the prior fiscal year.

         Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, net of vendor
rebates and discounts, allowances for product shrinkage and obsolescence. Gross
profit for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 was $16,436,000, an increase of
$2,362,000 or 17%, compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior fiscal
year. The increase in gross profit was directly related to the increased sales
of projection televisions, home theater systems, and custom installation
services. The gross profit margin was 36.8% in the quarter ended October 31,
2000 compared to 35.8% in the quarter ended October 31, 1999.

         Gross profit for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 was
$46,419,000, an increase of $4,792,000 or 12% compared to the corresponding
period in the prior year. As stated above, the increase in gross profit was
directly related to the increase in total sales. The gross profit margin was
36.0% in the nine months ended October 31, 2000 compared to 35.2% in the nine
months ended October 31, 1999.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses, referred to as SG&A
expense, includes costs related to sales commissions, salaries, advertising,
warehouse and distribution, corporate expenses, store operations, including rent
and utilities, and depreciation. SG&A expense for the quarter ended October 31,
2000 was $14,396,000, an increase of $1,588,000 or 12% over the corresponding
period in the prior year. SG&A expense in the nine months ended October 31, 2000
was $41,277,000, an increase of $3,104,000 or 8% over the corresponding period
in the prior year. The increase in both periods was primarily a result of sales
commissions on increased gross profit and costs associated with the new stores.
SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 32.3% for the quarter and 32.0%
for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 from 32.6% for the corresponding
quarter and 32.2% for the corresponding nine month period of the previous fiscal
year.

         Income from operations in the quarter ended October 31, 2000 was
$2,040,000, an increase of $773,000, or 61%, over the corresponding quarter in
the prior year. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased to
4.6% in the quarter ended October 31, 2000 from 3.2% in the same quarter of the
prior year.

         Income from operations in the nine months ended October 31, 2000 was
$5,142,000, an increase of $1,687,000, or 49%, over the corresponding period in
the prior year. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased to
4.0% in the nine months ended October 31, 2000 from 2.9% in the corresponding
period in the prior year.

         Interest expense increased by $161,000 and $357,000, respectively, for
the quarter and nine months ended October 31, 2000 from the corresponding
periods in the prior fiscal year. The increases were attributable to an increase
in the effective interest rate and increased borrowings compared to the
comparable periods in the prior fiscal year.

         Income taxes of $388,000 for the quarter and $1,261,000 for the nine
months ended October 31, 2000 were recorded at an effective tax rate of 39%. The
income tax provision in the quarter and nine month periods of the prior fiscal
year included an amount for taxes payable on pretax operating income and an
increase in the valuation reserve for deferred tax assets.

         Net income for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 was $609,000 or $.16
per share basic and $.14 per share diluted compared to net income of $959,000 or
$.26 per share basic and $.23 per share diluted for the same quarter in the
previous fiscal year. Net income for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 was
$1,974,000 or $.52 per share basic and $.46 per share diluted compared to net
income of $2,461,000 or $.66 per share basic and $.59 per share diluted in the
same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in net income for the quarter
and nine months ended October 31, 2000 was primarily a result of the one time
charge for expenses relating to our terminated stock offering and the
recognition of a provision for income taxes as compared to a reduction in the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in the comparable periods of the
prior fiscal year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Historically, our primary sources of capital for working capital,
expansion and growth have been our revolving line of credit, net cash from
operations and vendor credit. Our primary cash requirements are for new store
openings, relocations and upgrades of existing stores, as well as working
capital to support our inventory requirements and SG&A expenses.

         Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1,165,000 for
the nine months ended October 31, 2000 primarily due to cash flows from net
income and increased accrued liabilities, net of an increase in inventory since
January 31, 2000. Working capital was approximately $6,822,000 at October 31,
2000, compared to $13,020,000 in working capital at January 31, 2000 for an
overall decrease of $6,198,000. The increase in current assets of $8,667,000
during the nine month period was primarily related to the $6,645,000 increase in
inventory of which $2,827,000 related to the acquisition of Showcase Home
Entertainment. The net increase in current assets was offset by an overall
increase of $14,865,000 in current liabilities. The net increase in current
liabilities resulted primarily from an increase in borrowings under the
revolving line of credit of $11,219,000, accrued liabilities of $2,802,000 and
cash overdraft of $1,177,000. The increase in the revolving line of credit is
primarily due to the acquisition of Showcase Home Entertainment and capital
expenditures in connection with new stores. The increase in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities is primarily related to obligations assumed in connection
with the Showcase acquisition.

         Our $25,000,000 revolving credit facility expires on July 31, 2001. At
October 31, 2000, there was $18,529,000 outstanding under the facility. The
outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility is expected to be
reduced by net cash proceeds from sales in the fourth quarter. This reduction
will increase availability under the revolving credit facility for operating
cash requirements and store expansion. Interest under the revolving credit
facility is based on prime plus 1% and allows for LIBOR pricing options of one,
two, three, or six month periods at 2.00% over the corresponding LIBOR rate for
the respective period. In December 1999, we entered into a three year $5,000,000
term loan agreement payable in monthly installments at an effective interest
rate of 9.96%. At October 31, 2000, there was $3,757,000 outstanding under the
term loan agreement.

         We believe that funds generated by operations combined with borrowings
available under the revolving credit facility and vendor credit programs will be
sufficient to satisfy our projected operating cash requirements and store
expansion and relocation plans during fiscal 2001. However, in order to continue
store expansion and upgrades beyond fiscal 2001 or to pursue acquisitions as a
part of our expansion strategy, we may need to seek additional sources of debt
or equity financing.
