                     AUDIO KING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


(1)    Nature of Business

       The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have been prepared by
       Audio  King  Corporation,  without  audit,  pursuant  to  the  rules  and
       regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The  information
       furnished in the condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  includes
       normal recurring  adjustments and reflects all adjustments  which are, in
       the opinion of  management,  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 such rules and  regulations.  Although  the Company  believes
       that the disclosures  are adequate to make the information  presented not
       misleading,  it is suggested that these condensed  consolidated financial
       statements  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial
       statements for the year ended June 30, 1995 and the related notes thereto
       included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

       Operating  results  for  the  interim  periods  may  not  be  necessarily
       indicative  of the  operating  results to be expected for the full fiscal
       year,  since the  Company's  business is  seasonal  with higher net sales
       occurring in the fourth calendar quarter.


(2)    Earnings Per Share

       Earnings per common and common stock  equivalent  share are calculated by
       dividing net earnings  applicable to common stock by the weighted average
       of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding,  computed using
       the treasury stock method.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three-month  period ended December 31, 1995 were approximately
$19,661,000,  an increase of 12.3% from net sales of  approximately  $17,504,000
for the same period in the prior year. Net sales for the six-month  period ended
December 31, 1995 were approximately $34,996,000,  an increase of 17.3% from net
sales of  approximately  $29,846,000  for the same  period  in the  prior  year.
Management believes the sales increase was a result of its promoting  specialist
retail strategy,  which utilizes increased  advertising,  product assortment and
larger stores to increase store  traffic,  as well as extended  consumer  credit
offers and trained  salespeople  to produce  increased  sales.  Management  also
believes that the increase was largely due to an increased  volume of goods sold
rather than increases in price.

Net sales for the three months ended December 31  historically  has  represented
the strongest  sales quarter of the year.  The weakest  demand sales quarter has
historically  been the first quarter which ends  September 30.  Seasonality is a
factor in the Company's results of operations.

Gross profit for the three-month  period ended December 31, 1995 increased 24.7%
to approximately  $7,522,000 from approximately $6,033,000 for the corresponding
period of the prior year. Gross profit, as a percent of net sales, was 38.3% for
the  three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1995  compared  to 34.5% for the
corresponding  period of the prior year. For the six-month period ended December
31,  1995,  gross  profit  increased  23.7% to  approximately  $13,211,000  from
approximately  $10,677,000 for the corresponding  period of the prior year. As a
percent of net sales for the  six-month  period ended  December 31, 1995,  gross
profit was 37.7%  compared  to 35.8% for the  corresponding  period of the prior
year. The increase in gross margin  percentage was due to growth as a percent of
total sales in accessories  and home audio  components  which  typically carry a
higher gross margin .

Selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses  increased as a percent of net
sales to 33.7% for the  quarter  ended  December  31,  1995  from  29.2% for the
comparable  three-month  period of the preceding  year. The increase in selling,
general, and administrative  expenses is a result of certain costs, such as rent
and  certain   salaries,   relating  to  revenue   increasing  faster  than  and
disproportionately to, sales. Selling,  general, and administrative expenses for
the  three-month   period  ended  December  31,  1995  increased   approximately
$1,517,000 or 29.7%,  over the  comparable  prior period.  The increases for the
three-month period are due primarily to increased sales  commissions,  benefits,
salaries  and  contract  labor of  approximately  $687,000,  increased  consumer
financing  and  promotional  expense of  approximately  $178,000  and  increased
occupancy, insurance and depreciation costs of approximately $501,000, including
a  one-time  charge of  $192,000  for the write  off of  leasehold  improvements
related to the Edina store relocation.

For the six months ended December 31, 1995, selling, general, and administrative
expenses  increased  as a  percent  of net  sales to 34.9%  from  31.9%  for the
comparable  six-month period of the preceding year. As in the three-month period
ended December 31, 1995, the increase in selling,  general,  and  administrative
expenses in the six-month  period ended December 31, 1995 is a result of certain
costs, such as rent and certain salaries,  relating to revenue increasing faster
than and  disproportionately  to, sales.  Selling,  general,  and administrative
expenses  for  the   six-month   period  ended   December  31,  1995   increased
approximately  $2,690,000  or  28.3%,  over the  comparable  prior  period.  The
increases  for  the  six-month  period  are due  primarily  to  increased  sales
commissions,  benefits, salaries and contract labor of approximately $1,283,000,
increased consumer financing and promotional  expense of approximately  $432,000
and increased  occupancy,  insurance  and  depreciation  costs of  approximately
$689,000, including a one-time charge of $192,000 for the write off of leasehold
improvements related to the Edina store relocation.

Interest  expense  for the  three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1995  was
approximately  $137,000 compared to approximately  $68,000 for the corresponding
period in 1994.  Interest  expense for the six-month  period ended  December 31,
1995 was  approximately  $239,000  compared to  approximately  $126,000  for the
corresponding period in 1995. The higher interest expense was a result of higher
borrowing levels.

The Company earned net income per share of $.16 for the three-month period ended
December  31,  1995  as  compared  to net  income  per  share  of  $.18  for the
corresponding period in 1994.

Financial Condition

During the  six-month  period ended  December 31,  1995,  cash of  approximately
$864,000 was used for operations  compared to approximately  $1,421,000 provided
by operating  activities in the  comparable  period the prior year. The cash was
used primarily for increased  inventories  necessary for overall sales increases
and the display requirements of the relocated Edina store and expanded Roseville
store  along  with a one time  $192,000  charge  for the write off of  leasehold
improvements  related to the relocation of the Edina store. Capital expenditures
for  the  six  months  totaled  approximately  $1,686,000,  principally  for the
purchase of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and other equipment.
The Company has total capital expenditures of approximately $750,000 planned for
the remainder of fiscal 1996,  primarily for the completion of the remodeling of
the Roseville store.

Working capital at December 31, 1995 was $8,685,000 as compared to $6,587,000 at
June 30, 1995. The current ratio was 2.1 to 1 as of December 31, 1995 and 2.3 to
1 as of June 30,  1995.  The  increase in working  capital was  attributable  to
increased   inventories  related  to  the  store  expansions  and  to  increased
receivables related to holiday consumer financing offered by third parties.

Inventories  increased to  $10,601,000  at December 31, 1995 from  $8,398,000 at
June 30,  1995 in order to  support  overall  increased  sales  and the  display
requirements of the relocated Edina store and the remodeled Roseville store.

The Company expects that cash generated from operations and increased borrowings
under its bank line of credit will be sufficient to fund its anticipated working
capital requirements and expected capital expenditures.

The Company  maintains a working capital line of credit which provides for up to
$11,000,000 from October 1 of any one year through February 15 of the succeeding
year at which time available  borrowings  are reduced to $8,000,000.  The credit
facility  bears  interest  at the  bank's  reference  rate  or at  the  adjusted
certificate of deposit rate plus 2%, at the Company's option.

The borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by inventories,  accounts
receivable,  and fixed assets. The Company is in compliance with all of its line
of credit agreement covenants.
