                       Boston Acoustics, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                 Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


(1) Basis of Presentation

       The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results.  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 such rules and regulations.  The Company
believes, however, that its disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.  The results for the three-month period ended June 29,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full
fiscal year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual Report included in its Form 10-K filed on June 28, 1996.

(2) Inventories

       Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or 
market and consist of the following:



                                       March 30, 1996      June 29,1996
                                       --------------      ------------
    Raw materials and work-in process    $  4,518,656       $ 4,916,127
    Finished goods                          3,939,937         4,366,670
                                          -----------        ----------

                                         $  8,458,593       $ 9,282,797
                                          -----------        ----------
                                          -----------        ----------

       Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of materials,
labor and manufacturing overhead.

(3) Net Income Per Common Share

       Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average 
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Common 
equivalent shares (stock options) have not been considered in the calculation 
of earnings per share as their effect would not be significant.  Fully diluted 
earnings per share have not been presented as the amounts would not differ 
significantly from primary earnings per share.

(4) Acquisition of Snell Acoustics, Inc.

     Effective June 1, 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets and the
business and assumed certain liabilities of Snell Acoustics, Inc. (Snell).
Snell manufactures high-end home loudspeaker systems for the audiophile market
at its factory in Haverhill, Massachusetts.  The acquisition, which was financed
with available cash, was accounted for as a purchase, and the results of
operations of Snell have been included in the consolidated operating results
since June 1, 1996.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and will be charged to operations
over fifteen years.  Unaudited pro forma results of operations to reflect the
Snell acquisition have not been presented as they are not material.

Operating results for the three-month period ended June 29, 1996 include the
June 1, 1996 acquisition of the business of Snell Acoustics, Inc. a manufacturer
of high-end loudspeaker systems.

Net sales increased 12 percent, from approximately $9,862,000 during the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 to approximately $11,052,000 during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997.  Sales increases in the home and automotive loudspeaker categories,
both domestically and to international distributors, contributed to the overall
sales increase during the three-month period ended June 29, 1996.

The Company's gross margin for the three-month period ended June 29, 1996
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 44.3% to 43.2% due primarily to
production inefficiencies as a result of the companies' move in late February
1996 to its new manufacturing facility.

Total operating expenses increased both in absolute dollars and as a percentage
of net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 1996 as compared to
the corresponding period in fiscal 1996.  Selling and marketing expenses have
increased as a percentage of net sales primarily due to increased corporate
advertising and literature expenditures as compared to the three-month period
ended June 24, 1995.  General and administrative expenses have remained
relatively stable in absolute dollars and as a result have decreased as a
percentage of net sales for the three-month period ended June 29, 1996.
Engineering and development expenses as a percentage of net sales and in
absolute dollars have increased primarily due to increased salaries and benefits
relating to additional engineering personnel, as well as increases in the cost
of materials and supplies relating to new product development.

Interest income has decreased both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of
net sales for the three-month period ended June 29, 1996 due primarily to the
utilization of certain investments for the construction of the Company's new
facility during fiscal 1996.

The Company's effective income tax rate increased from 32% for the three-month
period ended June 24, 1995 to 35% for the three-month period ended June 29,
1996, primarily as a result of non-recurring tax credits realized in fiscal 1996
in connection with capital expenditures.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased 10% from approximately
$1,464,000 in fiscal 1996 to $1,319,000 in fiscal 1997 while earnings per share
decreased 12% from $.34 to $.30 per share.  This decrease was primarily the
result of the increase in operating expenses, decrease in interest income and an
operating loss of Snell Acoustics which is included in the consolidated results
of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first three months of fiscal 1997, the Company financed its growth
with cash generated by operations. As of  June 29, 1996 the Company's working
capital was approximately $22,853,000.  The Company's cash and cash equivalents
were approximately $3,170,000, short-term investments were approximately
$4,924,000, and long-term investments were approximately $3,147,000.  The
Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $3,290,000 as
compared to the three-month period ended March 30, 1996 primarily as a result of
the acquisition of the business of Snell Acoustics and the purchase of common
stock for treasury during the quarter ended June 29, 1996.  The Company also has
a $1,500,000 unsecured bank line of credit.  The Company has had no borrowings
under any line of credit since December 1985.

The Company believes that its resources are adequate to meet its requirements
for working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months.
