Note 3.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q 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
solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.

The operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 30,
1997 due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business.

Certain items in prior year's quarters have been reclassified to conform with
the 1997 presentation.

For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 1997 to First Quarter Fiscal 1996

Net sales for the quarter increased from $12,261,000 in 1996 to $18,862,000 in
1997, an increase of 53.8%. The Company operated 173 stores at the end of the
first quarter this year compared to 181 stores at the end of the same period
prior year.

Comparable store sales for the quarter increased 63% from the same period in the
prior year. The large sales increase is primarily due to strong consumer demand
for Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn products spurred by manufacturers' price
reductions taken in May. The Company anticipates increased market penetration of
these next generation systems throughout the year, although it does not expect
to sustain the high level of comparable store sales growth achieved in the first
quarter.

Cost of sales for the quarter increased from $6,919,000 in 1996 to $12,012,000
in 1997, an increase of 73.6%. The dollar increase in cost of sales is primarily
due to the strong growth in sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
increased from 56.4% in 1996 to 63.7% in 1997. This increase is primarily due to
sales mix for the quarter reflecting higher sales volume of new Sony PlayStation
and Sega Saturn systems, which are sold at a lower gross margin percentage than
that of new software, accessories and previously played product.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased from $5,521,000 in 1996 to
$5,569,000 in 1997, an increase of 0.9%. Operating expenses decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 45.0% in 1996 to 29.5% in 1997, as expenses
increased only nominally while net sales increased by 53.8%.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter increased from $1,766,000 in
1996 to $1,797,000 in 1997, an increase of 1.8%. General and administrative
expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales from 14.4% in 1996 to 9.5% in
1997, as expenses increased only nominally while net sales increased by 53.8%.

Operating loss for the quarter decreased from $1,945,000 in 1996 to $516,000 in
1997, a decrease of 73.5% and also decreased as a percent of net sales from
15.9% to 2.7%.

Interest income for the quarter increased from $27,000 in 1996 to $35,000 in
1997, an increase of 29.6%, primarily as the Company maintained a higher level
of cash and marketable securities.

The Company incurred a net loss before income taxes for the quarter of $490,000
compared to a net loss before income taxes of $1,927,000 in the same period last
year, a decrease of 74.6%. Net loss before income taxes decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 15.7% in 1996 to 2.6% in 1997.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the quarter of $181,000 compared
to a benefit of $713,000 for the same period prior year. The Company anticipates
offsetting this tax benefit with tax expense in the second half of the year.

As a result of the above factors, the Company incurred a net loss for the
quarter of $309,000 compared to a net loss of $1,214,000 for the same period
prior year, a decrease of 74.5%. Net loss as a percentage of net sales decreased
from 9.9% in 1996 to 1.6% in 1997.

Seasonality and Quarterly Functions

The Company's business is seasonal with a majority of net sales generated in the
third and fourth fiscal quarters, which include the holiday selling season. In
addition to sales seasonality, the Company's quarterly results are also impacted
by new product introductions and by the number and timing of new store openings.
Because of the seasonality of the Company's business and the factors mentioned
above, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. The following table sets forth net
sales by quarter and the number of stores operating at each quarter end for the
past nine fiscal quarters:


       Net Sales (in thousands)            Number of Stores Open at Quarter End
- --------------------------------------     ------------------------------------

Quarter     1997       1996       1995     Quarter      1997     1996     1995
- -------     ----       ----       ----     -------      ----     ----     ----

Second         --     15,335     15,130     Second        --      178      154
Third          --     31,897     36,389     Third         --      182      181
Fourth         --     21,889     18,774     Fourth        --      173      182



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary ongoing financing requirements are for new store expansion
and inventory. On an interim basis, the Company's financing requirements are
also impacted by quarterly operating results and seasonal fluctuations in
inventory levels.

During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company used $1,570,000 of cash
in operating activities, primarily for the increase in inventory, and used
$35,000 in cash in investing activities. For the three months ended July 2,
1995, the Company generated $958,000 of cash from operating activities and used
$143,000 of cash in investing activities.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company renewed and increased its revolving
credit facility to $3,000,000, seasonally increasing to $10,000,000. The
interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the facility (8.5% at June 30,
1996) is equal to the bank's reference rate plus one quarter of one percent.
This facility is collateralized by substantially all inventory, accounts
receivable, equipment and general intangibles of the Company. The facility
requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and achieve certain
operating results. The Company currently has no borrowings under this facility.

During fiscal 1997, the Company plans to incur capital expenditures of up to
$2,000,000 for new store openings and other related store expenditures,
corporate information systems and general corporate expenditures.

The Company believes that cash from operations and funds available under its
revolving credit facility will provide sufficient funds for financing planned
store openings, working capital needs and other capital expenditures for at
least 12 months.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its Chief Executive Officer have been named as defendants in a
civil lawsuit filed on August 17, 1995, pending in the United States District
Court, District of Minnesota, entitled Christopher Cannon v. Funco Inc. and
David R. Pomije. This is a putative class action in which the named plaintiff in
the Class Action Complaint purports to represent a class of all purchasers of
the Company's common stock during the putative class period of May 18, 1994
through December 15, 1994.

The Complaint alleges the Company's share price was artificially inflated and
asserts various claims under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and state common law. Plaintiff seeks damages plus costs and attorney's
fees. The Company and its Chief Executive Officer believe that the claim is
entirely without merit, deny liability and intend to defend the litigation
vigorously. On September 7, 1995, the Company and its Chief Executive Officer
filed a motion to dismiss the Class Action Complaint in its entirety. A hearing
on this motion was held on March 1, 1996. The Company is awaiting the judge's
decision on the motion.
