ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.
 
OVERVIEW
 
     Modern Records, Inc. (the "Company" or "Modern") produces, licenses,
acquires, markets and distributes high quality recorded music for a variety of
musical formats.
 
     In May of 1997, Stephen Randall ("Randy") Jackson acquired a controlling
interest in the Company with the intent of repositioning the Company as a
forward thinking, dynamic independent label in the recording industry. During
the remainder of 1997 and throughout the period, the Company has been focusing
on establishing a more solid financial base while developing strategic
initiatives capable of realizing the Company's objectives.
 
     The primary source of revenue to the Company has been the production and
release of recorded music. The Company has been closely associated with the work
of recording artist Stevie Nicks, who was one of the Company's founders.
Although Ms. Nicks is no longer under contract with the Company, her works
continue to provide the dominant source of revenue.
 
     During the period the Company released the Stevie Nicks' "Enchanted" Album;
a new CD box set which is a shared release with Atlantic Records. As of May 6,
1998, more than fifty-six thousand copies of the "Enchanted" box set were sold.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997
 
     Gross revenues increased $110,827 or 166% to $177,594 for the six months
ended April 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. This increase reflects
the revenue sharing from the Atlantic agreement with Stevie Nicks and the J.
Osborne Christmas album holiday sales results. It is not anticipated that the J.
Osborne Christmas album sales will occur again until the beginning of the
holiday season in 1998.
 
     Gross profit improved $51,512 or 77% to $118,279 for the six months ended
April 30, 1998 reflecting the flow through of profit from the Atlantic agreement
with Stevie Nicks which generates a higher gross margin.
 
     Selling, marketing and general administrative expenses increased in 1998
over the corresponding second quarter of 1997 by $207,261 to $293,776 reflecting
the costs associated with the holiday 1997 launch of Jeffrey Osborne's album,
legal and accounting services required to gain new financing for Modern and a
developing infrastructure including payroll, rent, and communications.
 
     The net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended April 30,
1998 totaled $175,497 compared to $19,748 for the same period the prior year.
This increase is due to significantly greater operating expenses.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company's current revenue stream is derived in large part from sales of
Stevie Nicks' albums. The Company's current management, headed by Mr. R. Jackson
who acquired a 47% equity interest in the Company in 1997, intends to pursue a
growth strategy that is centered on signing artists to the Modern label,
advancing funds for production of new albums, marketing albums released on the
Modern label and retaining a team of talented executive officers with experience
in the entertainment industry. Revenues from the Company's existing product are
insufficient to fund this strategy since the strategy will require significant
expenditures before additional revenues are generated. The Company's
implementation of its growth strategy is dependent on the Company's ability to
obtain additional debt, equity and other financing. There can be no assurance
that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at
all.

 *  Indicates the date that the Company announced the pending sale, which was
    subject to final approval of applicable Canadian regulatory authorities.
    Such approval was subsequently obtained from the appropriate Canadian
    regulatory authority, and each such sale has been consummated.
 
(1) Pursuant to a private placement under British Columbia securities laws,
    320,000 units were issued at C$0.25 per unit for total proceeds of C$80,000
    (each unit is comprised of 1 share of Common Stock and 1 non-transferable
    share purchase warrant exercisable at C$0.50 per share during the first year
    after purchase and C$0.60 during the second year after purchase). 260,000 of
    the units were sold to three Canadian investors and 60,000 of the units were
    sold to Stig Hans Johan Grandin, a Swedish citizen and director of the
    Company. The Company believes that the sales of the units were exempt from
    the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of
    the Securities Act because the transaction did not involve a public
    offering -- there were less than 10 offerees of the units, each offeree was
    an accredited investor and each purchaser was required to hold the units for
    a period of one year following the execution of the subscription agreement
    relating to the sale. In addition, the Company believes that the sales of
    the units were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
    Act because the units were not offered or sold in the United States and none
    of the purchasers was a U.S. person.
 
(2) Non-transferable share purchase warrants exercisable at C$0.15 per share
    during the first year after issuance and C$.17 during the second year after
    issuance (the "Loan Warrants") were issued to Mr. R. Jackson, the Chairman,
    Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and to Kendrick E.
    Packer, a director of the Company, in connection with the loans of US$25,000
    (C$35,643) extended by such individuals to the Company. The Company believes
    that the issuance of the Loan Warrants were exempt from the registration
    requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of The Securities Act
    because they did not involve a public offering.
 
(3) Pursuant to a private placement under British Columbia securities laws,
    6,120,401 shares of Common Stock were issued at C$0.15 per share, for total
    proceeds of C$918,060. 786,055 of the shares were sold to three Canadian
    investors, 551,055 of the shares were sold to Mr. Grandin and 4,783,371 of
    the shares were sold to Randy Jackson, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer
    and President of the Company. Although the majority of the shares were
    issued on June 12, 1998, 1,793,171 of the shares sold to Mr. R. Jackson were
    not issued until October 26, 1998, following the date that stockholders
    approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company. The
    Company believes that the sales of the shares were exempt from the
    registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the
 
                                        8

    Securities Act because the transaction did not involve a public
    offering -- there were less than 10 offerees of the shares and each offeree
    (other than a Canadian investor who purchased 35,000 of the shares for an
    aggregate purchase price of $5,250) was an accredited investor and each
    purchaser was required to hold the units for a period of one year following
    the execution of the subscription agreement relating to the sale. In
    addition, the Company believes that the sales of the shares to the Canadian
    investors and Mr. Grandin were exempt from the registration requirements of
    the Securities because those shares were not offered or sold in the United
    States and neither Mr. Grandin nor any of the Canadian investors is a U.S.
    person.
 
(4) Issued to Mr. Grandin pursuant to the exercise of options with an exercise
    price of C$0.15 per share, for total proceeds of C$26,250. The Company
    believes that the issuance of the shares upon exercise of Mr. Grandin's
    options were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
    under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act because the exercise of the options
    did not involve a public offering.
 
(5) Pursuant to a private placement under British Columbia securities laws,
    85,000 units were issued at C$0.30 per Unit, for total proceeds of C$25,500
    (each unit is comprised of 1 share of Common Stock and 1 non-transferable
    share purchase warrant exercisable at C$0.40 per share during the first year
    after purchase and C$0.60 during the second year after purchase). The units
    were sold to a Canadian investor and to Mr. Grandin. The Company believes
    that the sales of the units were exempt from the registration requirements
    of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act because the
    transaction did not involve a public offering -- there were only two
    offerees of the units, each offeree was an accredited investor and each
    purchaser was required to hold the units for a period of one year following
    the execution of the subscription agreement relating to the sale. In
    addition, the Company believes that the sales of the units were exempt from
    the registration requirements of the Securities Act because the units were
    not offered or sold in the United States and neither purchaser was a U.S.
    person.
 
(6) Pursuant to a private placement under British Columbia securities laws,
    400,000 units were issued at C$0.40 per Unit, for total proceeds of
    C$160,000 (each unit is comprised of 1 share of Common Stock and 1
    non-transferable share purchase warrant exercisable at C$0.55 per share
    during the first year after purchase and $0.75 during the second year after
    purchase). The units were sold to two Canadian investors. The Company
    believes that the sales of the units were exempt from the registration
    requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
    because the transaction did not involve a public offering -- there were only
    two offerees of the units, each offeree was an accredited investor and each
    purchaser was required to hold the units for a period of one year following
    the execution of the subscription agreement relating to the sale. In
    addition, the Company believes that the sales of the units were exempt from
    the registration requirements of the Securities Act because the units were
    not offered or sold in the United States and neither purchaser was a U.S.
    person.
 
     As set forth above, the Company believes that each of the sales of its
unregistered securities described above qualified for exemptions from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, although the Company did not
qualify under the applicable "safe harbor" provisions of the relevant exemption
with respect to certain of such sales and, as a result, there can be no
assurance that each such sale was exempt. If one or more of the sales of the
Company's securities were not made pursuant to a valid exemption, the purchasers
of securities in such sales (and purchasers of securities in other sales, if
any, that would be integrated with the non-exempt sales under the Commission's
integration rules) may have a right to rescind their purchases. The Company
believes it is unlikely that purchasers of securities from the Company would
pursue a claim to rescind their purchases because, such purchasers acquired the
securities for a purchase price significantly lower than the current market
price of the Company's common stock. Even if any such claim were pursued, the
Company believes that it would prevail on the grounds that the sale was exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Consequently, the
Company believes that any asserted claim for non-compliance with the
registration provisions of the Securities Act would not materially affect the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
