ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 29, 1997 VERSUS THREE
MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996.


The Company had revenues of $4,551,635 for the three months ended November 29,
1997.  This represents a 9.5% increase from revenues of $4,157,243 for the three
months ended November 30, 1996. Revenues consist principally of sales of
prerecorded videocassettes, magazines, electronic software products and related
items.  The increase in revenue was primarily attributed to an increase in the
new feature and video compilation releases.  The Company released 23 new
features and 54 video compilations during the quarter ended November 29, 1997 as
compared to 17 new features and 38 video compilations during the quarter ended
November 30, 1996.  Magazine revenue decreased $88,500 due to the Company's
cessation of publication of its newsstand magazine during the quarter ended
August, 1997, which was offset by increases in sales of foreign film rights and
cable film rights of $74,300 and $38,800, respectively.  The Company recognized
approximately $104,500 in revenue during the quarter ended November 29, 1997 for
restocking fees on returns in excess of allowances established.

Costs of revenues (including amortization of film costs) for the three month
period ended November 29, 1997 increased to $2,593,446 from $2,548,290 for the
corresponding period in the prior year principally due to the increase in
revenue.  Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 was 57% as compared to 61.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.
This improvement in cost of revenue percentage is due to the increased sales of
foreign film rights and cable film rights on which there is little cost
associated.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended
November 29, 1997, decreased marginally to $1,430,571 from $1,436,659 for the
three months ended November 29, 1996 due to decreases in advertising, artwork,
depreciation, legal fees and payroll costs fees which were partially offset by
increases in equipment rental and freight expenses.  These expense reductions
are the result of the Company's continued expense monitoring and resolution of
previously pending legal matters.  Selling, general, and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 31.4% in 1997 as compared to
34.6% in the three months ended November 29, 1996.

In August, 1997 Rocket Media Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metro,
Inc., formed a limited liability company, Maxstone Media Group, LLC, with
Salmill Enterprises, Inc. for the purpose of magazine publishing.  As of
November 29, 1997, 2 magazines had been published.  The Company's 50% share of
the net income, $11,797 at November 29, 1997, has been reflected in other
income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 29, 1997 VERSUS THREE
MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996. (CONTINUED)

Operating income for the three month period ended November 29, 1997 was $527,618
as compared to operating income of $172,294 for the corresponding period in the
prior year.  Net income for the fiscal quarters ended November 29, 1997 and
November 30, 1996 were $272,308 and $64,804 respectively, resulting in earnings
per share of $.08 for the quarter ended November 29, 1997 versus $.02 for the
quarter ended November 30, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 29, 1997 VERSUS SIX
MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996.

Revenues for the six month period ended November 29, 1997 increased 1.2% to
$8,647,856 from $8,545,655 for the six months ended November 30, 1996.  Costs of
revenues (including amortization of film costs) for the six month period ended
November 29, 1997 were $5,439,653 in comparison to $5,361,682 for the
corresponding period in the prior year, an increase of 1.5%.  This increase is
primarily attributable to the increase in amortization of approximately $77,000
in fiscal 1998, as compared to the same period fiscal 1997.  The Company's gross
profit percentage for the six month period ended November 29, 1997 decreased to
37.1% from 37.3% for the comparative prior fiscal period.  The decrease in gross
profit percentage again reflects the increase in amortization due to the growth
in the film library.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended November
29, 1997 decreased 2.5% or $76,471 to $2,957,828 from $3,034,299 for the six
months ended November 30, 1996.  The decrease was primarily due to reductions in
artwork, freight, and rent, which were partially offset by increases in
equipment rental and professional services.  As a result of the cost controls
implemented, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased to 34.2% in fiscal 1998 from 35.5% in fiscal 1997.

Net income for the six months ended November 29, 1997 increased to $43,850 from
$23,559 in the prior year 's corresponding period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AT NOVEMBER 29, 1997


Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $14,005 at quarter-end.  Cash provided by
operating activities amounted to $1,621,663 for the six months ended November
29, 1997, whereas net cash of $733,675 was provided by operations for the same
period in the prior fiscal year.  The primary uses of cash in fiscal 1998
consisted of (1) investments in motion pictures and other films $1,053,631; (2)
payments on capital lease obligations of $111,140,  (3) purchases of property
and equipment $44,182; and (4) net payments on short-term borrowings of
$456,429.

Working capital amounted to $2,298,994 at November 29, 1997 as compared to
$2,489,792 at May 31, 1997.  The net decrease in accounts receivable of
$1,133,812 was primarily due to increased collection efforts specifically on the
account receivables from Capital Video Corporation (see below).  Inventory
increased $429,045 in anticipation of  increased sales during the remainder of
fiscal 1998 due to an aggressive film production and release schedule.  Accounts
payable and accrued expenses decreased $23,321 due to a payment of a litigation
settlement liability that was due in November, 1997 and improved cash flow from
the decrease in accounts receivable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AT NOVEMBER 29, 1997 (CONTINUED)


Of Metro's total accounts receivable at November 29, 1997, $599,337 (19.8%) as
compared to $1,711,443 (41.9%) at May 31, 1997 is owed by Capital Video
Corporation ("CVC"), a chain of retail stores of which a former
officer/shareholder of the Company is the sole shareholder.  Because of the
amount of this receivable and the concentration of business with CVC, this
receivable is monitored very closely.  Metro has the personal guaranty of its
one shareholder.  Accordingly, no allowance for related party receivables and no
related party bad debt expense has been recorded in the Company's financial
statements.

At November 29, 1997 the Company had entered into agreements with producers to
finance 46  new feature films and videos which will be released during fiscal
1998.  The completion of these movies will require approximately $800,000 to
$1,000,000.  Financing for these activities has been and will continue to be
generated through operating cash flows as well as funds received from its line
of credit.

During June, 1997, Metro, Inc. entered into a line of credit agreement with a
finance company.  Under the agreement, Metro, Inc. may borrow up to 75% of
assigned accounts receivable less than 90 days old, up to a maximum of
$1,500,000.  The balance due under the line of credit bears interest at the
prime rate plus 5% per annum.  In addition, Metro, Inc. shall pay the finance
company a collateral management or notification fee equal to 3/4 of 1% of sales
submitted to the finance company for inclusion in the net security value of
accounts receivable, but no more than $7,500 per month.  The outstanding balance
under the line is secured by accounts receivable of Metro, Inc and guaranties of
the Company and certain officers/shareholders.  The line of credit expires
during June, 1999, but includes an option for an additional year.  As of
November 29, 1997, the balance on the line of credit was $440,818.

Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures for the six months ended November 29,
1997 amounted to $44,182 as compared to $147,726 at May 31, 1997.  The Company
anticipates that its capital expenditures for 1998 will be approximately
$350,000 to $450,000 primarily used for computer equipment in Rhode Island, and
duplicating and editing equipment in California.  The company currently has a
$500,000 lease line available for its use which management believes is
sufficient.

Management believes that funds provided by operations, existing and new line of
credit, are adequate to meet the anticipated short-term and long-term capital
needs.  Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its
operations.

New Accounting Standards

     SFAS No. 128 has been issued effective for the years ending after December

calculations should not be impacted if the Company adopted such standard for the
year ended May 31, 1997.  The Company is required to adopt the provisions of
SFAS No. 128 in the third quarter of 1998 and does not expect adoption thereof
to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

During the quarter ended November 29, 1997, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company contributed rights to certain magazine titles and other materials
(recorded at zero cost basis in these financial statements) in exchange for 50%
interest into a newly formed joint venture.

During the quarter ended November 30, 1996, the Company issued 90,000 shares of
common stock with a value of $230,000 to settle an outstanding accounts payable

During the quarter ended November 30, 1996, a note receivable for $211,023 was

During the quarter ended November 30, 1996, the Company settled pending
litigation by agreeing to pay a fine of $200,200 of which $100,200 was paid.
The Company was indemnified by a previous owner and therefore has reduced the

METRO GLOBAL MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 29, 1997 AND NOVEMBER 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)


1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Metro Global
Media, Inc. ("Metro Global") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the
"Company").  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended
November 29, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending May 31, 1998.  For further information, refer to
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 1997.


Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based on the average number
of common shares outstanding during each period, assuming exercise of all
options have exercise prices less than the average market price of the common
stock using the treasury stock method.  Fully diluted computations reflect the
additional dilutive effect of using period-end prices under the treasury stock
method.

The weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalent shares
utilized in computing earnings per share were 3,558,168 and 3,708,341 for 
primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended November 29,
1997 and 1996 respectively.


Joint Ventures

In August, 1997 Rocket Media Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metro,
Inc. formed a limited liability company, Maxstone Media Group, LLC, with Salmill
Enterprises, Inc. for the purpose of magazine publishing.  The investment in the
jointly owned company is carried at cost, adjusted for the company's
proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses.

          (b)  Reports of Form 8-K

               The Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange
               Commission on December 29, 1997 to report the following:

               Item 5.  Other events

                    The Company recently learned that on May 27, 1992, in United
                    States v. Blair, criminal action No 92-CR-Z46 (N.D.N.Y.),
                    Thomas J. Blair (a/k/a T. James Blair) ("Blair") a former
                    director and chief financial officer of the Company pled
                    guilty to and was convicted of two counts of felony charges.

                    Based on the foregoing, the commission found that Blair had
                    been convicted of a felony within the meaning of Rule
                    102(e)(2) of the Commission's Rules and Practices and on
                    August 29, 1995 issued an order that Thomas J. Blair was
                    forthwith permanently suspended from appearing or practicing
                    before the commission.
<PAGE>
 
ITEM 6.   EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (CONTINUED)
          ------------------------------------------- 

          As a result of the discovery concerning Blair, the company's auditors
          have informed the Company that because they relied on Mr. Blair's
          management representations, and this could impact materially the
          fairness and reliability of the company's financial statements, their
          audit reports dated July 31, 1997 and August 9, 1996 on the underlying
          financial statements of the years ended May 31, 1997 and May 31, 1996
          are not to be relied upon.

          The Company is in the process of retaining an independent accounting
          firm to re-examine the previously filed financial statements to verify
          their accuracy.  The Company will file a supplemental report with the
          results of that examination when the investigation is completed.
