                            Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Platinum Entertainment, Inc.

We have audited the balance sheets of Intersound, Inc. as of April 30, 1995 and
1996, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the years ended April 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, all as restated to reflect
the adjustments described in Note 1.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Intersound, Inc. at April 30,
1995 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
years ended April 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                       Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

                 (Information with respect to the eight-month periods
                    ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 is unaudited)


1.  Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Intersound, Inc. (the Company), a Minnesota corporation, is engaged in the 
recording, production, marketing, and distribution of recorded music and 
video programs.  The Company markets its products both domestically and 
internationally through retailers, distributors, and licensees.

Effective January 1, 1997, the shareholders of the Company sold substantially
all of the Company's assets to Platinum Entertainment, Inc. (Platinum) for
consideration of $24,000,000 in cash, $5,000,000 in convertible promissory
notes, and the assumption of certain Company liabilities (Sale).

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Subsequent to April 30, 1996, the Company determined its previously issued 
financial statements as of April 30, 1995 and 1996, and for the years ended 
April 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996, required restatement for the matters 
discussed below.  These financial statements had previously been audited by 
auditors other than Ernst & Young whose report thereon was dated July 24, 
1996.  The previously issued financial statements had overstated artist 
advances through the misapplication of FASB Statement  No. 50 "Financial 
Reporting in the Record and Music Industry" ("FAS 50"), had not recorded 
accounts receivable and inventories at their net realizable values, had 
understated royalties payable by improperly matching royalty expense with 
product revenues including accounting for the effects of royalty audits by an 
independent agency, and overstated net revenues by not properly reflecting 
the effects of product returns.  Accordingly, the accompanying financial 
statements for the years ended April 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996, as well as 
retained earnings at April 30, 1993, have been restated to reflect 
adjustments for these matters.  The impact on net income for each period is 
as follows:

                                            As Reported    As Restated

         Year ending April 30, 1994         $3,658,732     $1,358,580
         Year ending April 30, 1995          4,608,040      1,946,311
         Year ending April 30, 1996          2,343,298      1,956,772

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market determined on the first
in, first out (FIF0) method of accounting.  Inventories consist primarily of
finished goods.

Artist Advances

In accordance with FAS 50, advances to artists and producers are capitalized as
an asset when the current popularity and past performance of the artist or
producer provides a sound basis for estimating the probable future recoupment of
such advances from earnings otherwise payable to the artist or producer.  Any
portion of such advances not deemed to be recoupable from future royalties is
reserved at the balance sheet date.  All other significant advances which do not
meet the above criteria are fully reserved when paid.

Arts and Masters

Costs of record masters borne by the Company are capitalized as an asset and
amortized over the estimated useful life of the recorded performance.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Deprecation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets (five to seven years).

Advertising

All advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred.

Revenue Recognition

Net product sales represent revenues derived from sales of records, net of
actual returns and reserves for estimated future returns.  Revenues derived from
the licensing of recording masters are recognized upon notification of retail
sales by the licensee.

                       Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

                 (Information with respect to the eight-month periods
                    ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 is unaudited)


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes

The stockholders of the Company have elected to be taxed as an S corporation
under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, the Company is
not generally subject to income taxes as the income of the Company is included
in the taxable income of its stockholders.  Therefore, the financial statements
do not include a provision for corporate federal income taxes.  In addition, the
Company was taxed as an S corporation for state income tax purposes subsequent
to fiscal 1995, and as such, no state income taxes have been provided in the
fiscal 1995 or 1996 financial statements.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of trade accounts receivable and
trade accounts payable.  The fair value of the Company's financial instruments
approximates the carrying value of the instruments.

3.  Revolving Line of Credit

At December 31, 1996, the Company had a revolving line of credit with a bank for
$4,500,000, bearing interest at prime plus 0.75%.  Amounts available under this
facility were approximately $2,408,000 and $2,498,000 at December 31, 1996 and
April 30, 1996, respectively.  The line of credit is guaranteed by the Company's
majority stockholder and is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
assets.  Concurrent with the Sale, this line of credit was paid in full.

(a) The statement of operations data for Intersound for the fiscal year ended
    May 31, 1996 represents the results of operations from May 1, 1995 to April
    30, 1996.  The Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase; the
    Company's purchase price allocation is preliminary pending the valuation of
    certain intangible assets.  See financial statements of Intersound
    elsewhere in this report.

(b) The pro forma adjustments include the activities of Red Rewmar Music, Inc.,
    Rappel Music, Inc. and Spec Twelve Music, Inc. (collectively, the
    "Publishing Companies") for the year ended June 30, 1996 that were 
    acquired simultaneously with the Acquisition and not reflected in the
    Intersound amounts above.  Such adjustments increased licensing, publishing
    and other revenues, cost of artist project and other revenues, and selling,
    general and administrative expenses by $293,000, $138,000 and $2,000,
    respectively.

(c) The gross product sales of the Company have been reclassified from the
    Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the fiscal
    year ended May 31, 1996 to reflect sales discounts offered.

(d) The adjustments to gross artist project revenues, allowance for
    unrecoupable artist advances, cost of artist project and other revenues,
    and selling, general and administrative expenses reflects artist project
    activity from May 1, 1995 to April 30, 1996 as if Intersound had conformed
    to the accounting policies of the Company during such period.  The Company
    recognizes revenues and the related costs derived from the production and
    promotion of artist records at the time incurred, net of reserves for
    estimated unrecoupable costs.

(e) The adjustment to depreciation and amortization consists of (1)  an
    increase in amortization of excess cost over net assets acquired of
    Intersound over a 25-year period, as if Intersound was acquired on June 1,
    1995 ($955,000) and (2)  an increase in amortization of music publishing
    rights acquired from Intersound over a 25-year period, as if the music
    publishing rights were acquired on June 1, 1995 ($80,000).

(f) The adjustment to interest expense reflects additional interest expense 
    that would have been incurredhad the consideration in the form of debt 
    related to the Acquisition been incurred on June 1, 1995 ($4,000,000).  
    The interest expense related to additional debt incurred by the Company 
    in connection with the Acquisition is based on bank borrowings of 
    $30,000,000 with an assumed interest rate of 12.00% per annum and 
    convertible debentures of $5,000,000 with an assumed interest rate of 
    8.00%.  In addition, the interest expense actually incurred by Intersound 
    ($345,000) has been eliminated as the related debt was paid in full upon 
    the closing of the Acquisition.

(g) The adjustment to financing costs reflect (1)  the straight-line
    amortization, over a 90-day period, of financing costs related to bank
    borrowings used in consideration for the Acquisition ($1,950,000) and (2)
    the straight-line amortization, over a 90-day period, of the debt discount
    related to warrants of common stock issued at time of financing (258,571.95
    warrants for $0.01 per share, closing market price on day of closing of the
    Acquisition = $8.00/share, assumes a 40% discount due to restricted nature
    of stock for $1,240,000), as if such financing had occurred on June 1,
    1995.

(h) The adjustment to estimated loss on disposal assumes the Company's
    discontinued operations were fully disposed as of June 1, 1995.


                                         P-3

(i) The adjustment to interest expense reflects the elimination of interest
    expense incurred by the Company on its then outstanding debt, which was
    retired with the net proceeds from an initial public offering of the
    Company's common stock on March 12, 1996, as if such retirement had
    occurred on June 1, 1995 (the "Public Offering").  The adjustment to
    cumulative preferred dividends reflects the elimination of preferred
    dividends on the Series A-1 Non-Convertible Preferred Stock that was
    retired with the net proceeds from the public offering.

(j) The weighted average number of common shares outstanding includes common
    and common equivalent shares issued during the 12-month period prior to the
    Public Offering as if they were outstanding for the fiscal year ended May
    31, 1996 using the treasury stock method and the public offering price of
    $13 per share.  In addition, all convertible preferred stock and
    convertible Class A common stock and Class B common stock are treated as if
    converted into common shares at the date of issuance.

(a) The statement of operations data for Intersound for the nine months ended
    February 28, 1997 represents the results of operations from June 1, 1996 to
    December 31, 1996.  The operations of Intersound for the months of January
    and February 1997 are reflected in the operations of the Company.  The
    Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase; the Company's purchase
    price allocation is preliminary pending the valuation of certain intangible
    assets.  See financial statements of Intersound elsewhere in this report.

(b) The pro forma adjustments include the activities of the Publishing 
    Companies for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 that were 
    acquired simultaneously with the Acquisition and not reflected in the 
    Intersound amounts above.  Such adjustments increased licensing, publishing
    and other revenues, cost of artist project and other revenues, and selling,
    general and administrative expenses by $61,000, $41,000 and $2,000, 
    respectively.

(c) To eliminate transactions between the Company and Intersound during the
    nine months ended February 28, 1997 completed prior to the Acquisition.

(d) The adjustments to gross artist project revenues, allowance for
    unrecoupable artist advances, cost of artist project and other revenues,
    and selling, general and administrative expenses reflects artist project
    activity from June 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996 as if Intersound had
    conformed to the accounting policies of the Company during such period.
    The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs derived from the
    production and promotion of artist records at the time incurred, net of
    reserves for estimated unrecoupable costs.

(e) Merger and restructuring costs represent nonrecurring charges resulting 
    directly from the Acquisition and have been removed for purposes of 
    determining pro forma net loss from continuing operations.

(f) The adjustment to depreciation and amortization consists of (1)  an
    increase in amortization of excess cost over net assets acquired of
    Intersound over a 25-year period, as if Intersound was acquired on June 1,
    1995 ($716,250) and (2)  an increase in amortization of music publishing
    rights acquired from Intersound over a 25-year period, as if the music
    publishing rights were acquired on June 1, 1995 ($60,000).

(g) The adjustment to interest expense reflects additional interest expense
    that would have been incurred had the consideration in the form of debt
    related to the Acquisition been incurred on June 1, 1995 ($3,000,000).  The
    interest expense related to additional debt incurred by the Company in
    connection with the Acquisition is based on bank borrowings of $30,000,000
    with an assumed interest rate of 12.00% per annum and convertible
    debentures of $5,000,000 with an assumed interest rate of 8.00%.  In
    addition, the interest expense actually incurred by the Company and
    Intersound ($502,000) has been eliminated as the related debt was paid in
    full upon the closing of the Acquisition.

(h) The adjustment to eliminate financing costs reflects the impact as if the
    purchase and related financing of Intersound had occurred on June 1, 1995
    and such costs were fully realized prior to the above period.
