Note 1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
consist of Trans World Music Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), all
of which are wholly owned.  All significant intercompany accounts and 
transactions have been eliminated.  Joint venture investments, none of which
are material, are accounted for using the equity method.

     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  The information furnished in the consolidated financial
statements reflects all normal, recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations applicable to
interim financial statements.

     These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 1994.

Note 2. Seasonality

     The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with the highest sales and
earnings occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter.  In the past three years, the
fourth fiscal quarter has represented substantially all of the Company's net
income for the year.

Note 3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

     Earnings (Loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each fiscal period.  Common stock equivalents,
relating to stock options, are excluded from the calculations, as their
inclusion would have an anti-dilutive impact on the loss per share.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - - ---------------------

Thirteen Weeks Ended April 30, 1994 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 1993
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Sales.  The Company's sales increased 5.8% for the thirteen weeks ended
April 30, 1994 over the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 1993.  The $6 million sales
increase is attributable to the sales generated from new stores opened by the
Company since May 1, 1993.  During the past year, the Company opened 93 stores
and closed 54. Comparable store sales, which are sales for stores that were open
for the entire month during both periods, declined 4% from the prior year.  The
decline in comparable store sales was a significant factor in the net loss for
1994's first quarter.

     Gross Profit.  Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 36.9%
to 37.4% in the thirteen week period ended April 30, 1994, when compared to
1993.  The higher gross margin is due to an increase in purchase discounts in
the period.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses ("SG&A"), as a percentage of sales, increased from
33.0% to 34.4% in the thirteen week period ended April 30, 1994 when compared
to 1993.  The increase in SG&A, as a percent of sales, was due primarily to the
decline in store sales in the Company's comparable stores.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $1.2 million in the thirteen
week period ended April 30, 1994 compared to 1993.  The increase is attributed
to both an increase in the Company's average borrowings and an increase in the
Company's weighted average borrowing rate.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                    (continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - - -------------------------------

Liquidity and Sources of Capital.  Cash used by operating and investing
activities were financed through the Company's long-term debt securities and
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.  These seasonal
borrowings under the revolving credit facility are a normal part of the
Company's business.  The Company's revolving credit facility permits aggregate
borrowings up to $75 million.

The most significant uses of cash in the thirteen week period ended April 30,
1994 were the $83.7 million and $5.4 million seasonal reductions in accounts
payable and income taxes payable, respectively.  This was funded through
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and the reduction in
merchandise inventory.  The Company also continued its store expansion program,
utilizing $5.6 million to fund increases in fixed assets, primarily in new
stores, store expansions and store renovations.  The Company has and expects to
continue to finance store renovation programs with funds generated from
operations, principally through reductions in merchandise inventory levels, and
the existing revolving credit facility.

Effective January 30, 1994, the Company's original debt agreement relating to
its $50 million of unsecured senior notes was amended.  The amendment makes the
fixed charge ratio covenant less restrictive, adds an inventory turnover
covenant which is consistent with that of the Company's other debt agreements,
adds a covenant requiring minimum proforma debt capitalization requirements,
changes the payment schedule to mature one year earlier, and increases the 
interest rate from 6.91% to 7.5%.  In addition, the Company amended its $75
million revolving credit agreement and the debt agreement relating to its $17.5 
million of unsecured senior notes, making the fixed charge ratio less
restrictive.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES 
- - - --------------------

     The Company opened eighteen new stores and closed nine stores, ending the
first quarter with 696 stores in operation.  Management plans to open
approximately 20 stores in the second quarter and 50 to 60 stores for the entire
fiscal year, approximately 20 of which are relocations.  New store openings,
combined with the Company's ongoing store renovation program and other capital
improvements, will require approximately $20 million in capital expenditures in
1994.  In addition, the store expansion program requires an increase in
merchandise inventory averaging approximately $250,000 per new store, which is
partially funded by trade payables.
