ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Comparison of First Quarter Fiscal 1999 to First Quarter Fiscal 1998

Net sales for the quarter increased from $24,001,000 in 1998 to $32,894,000 in
1999, an increase of 37.1%. The Company operated a total of 252 locations at the
end of the quarter this year compared to 193 locations at the end of the same
period prior year. Comparable store sales for the quarter increased 14%. Strong
sales are attributed to operating a greater number of stores compared to prior
year and the continued growth of Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 product
categories.

Cost of sales for the quarter increased from $14,589,000 in 1998 to $21,264,000
in 1999, an increase of 45.8%. 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 60.8% in 1998 to 64.6% in 1999. This increase is primarily due to
sales mix for the quarter reflecting an increased proportion of new product
sales, which are sold with higher cost percentages than previously played
product.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased from $6,358,000 in 1998 to
$8,402,000 in 1999, an increase of 32.1%. This increase is primarily due to
higher store payroll and occupancy expense which occurred as the Company
operated a greater number of stores than in the same period prior year.
Operating expenses decreased favorably as a percentage of net sales from 26.5%
in 1998 to 25.5% in 1999, due to leveraging as net sales increased by 37.1%.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter increased from $2,108,000 in
1998 to $2,514,000 in 1999, an increase of 19.3%. This primarily reflects
expense associated with corporate staffing necessary to support the increased
number of store locations. General and administrative expenses decreased
favorably as a percentage of net sales from 8.8% in 1998 to 7.6% in 1999, due to
leveraging as net sales increased by 37.1%.

The Company generated operating income for the quarter of $714,000 compared to
$946,000 in the same period prior year, a decrease of 24.5%.

Interest income for the quarter increased from $79,000 in 1998 to $120,000 in
1999, an increase of 51.9%, primarily as the Company maintained a higher level
of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The Company generated net income before income taxes for the quarter of $834,000
compared to net income before income taxes of $1,025,000 in the same period
prior year, a decrease of 18.6%. As a result the Company recorded an income tax
expense for the quarter of $334,000 compared to an income tax expense of
$390,000 for the same period prior year.

Due to the above factors, the Company generated net income for the quarter of
$500,000, or $0.08 per share, compared to net income of $635,000, or $0.10 per
share, for the same period prior year.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

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 factors including new product introductions and the number and timing of new

<PAGE>


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

store openings. Growth of the store base may obscure the impact of seasonal
influences. 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 quarters:

</TABLE>

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary ongoing financing requirements are for new store capital
expenditures 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 28, 1998, the Company used $3,390,000 of cash
for operating activities primarily for the purchase of inventory, and used
$2,709,000 of cash in investing activities, primarily for the purchase of
short-term investments. For the three months ended June 29, 1997, the Company
generated $174,000 of cash from operating activities and used $519,000 of cash
in investing activities.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company amended and renewed its revolving credit
facility. Effective July 1, 1998, the Company has a $3,000,000 unsecured
revolving credit facility with a commercial bank, priced at LIBOR plus 250 basis
points, seasonally increasing to $10,000,000. The interest rate on borrowings
under the facility in place on June 28, 1998, was 8.50%, equal to the bank's
prime rate. Had the new facility been in place on June 28, 1998, the interest
rate would have been 8.16%. 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 1999, the Company plans to incur capital expenditures of up to
$6,500,000, of which $380,000 has been incurred to date, for new store openings,
other store expenditures, enhancements to store and corporate information
systems and general corporate purposes. The Company incurred capital
expenditures of $5,380,000 in fiscal 1998.

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.

None.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its Chief Executive Officer were originally named as defendants
in a civil lawsuit filed on August 17, 1995 in the United States District Court,
District of Minnesota, entitled Christopher Cannon v. Funco, Inc. and David R.
Pomije. This was a putative class action in which the named plaintiff in the
Class Action Complaint purported 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. On October 18, 1996 the court dismissed the state common law
claims with prejudice and dismissed the federal securities claims without
prejudice, giving the plaintiff leave to file an Amended Complaint. The
plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on January 6, 1997.

The Amended Complaint is a similarly styled class action suit and alleges the
Company's share price was artificially inflated, asserting various claims under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Plaintiff seeks damages in an
unspecified amount plus costs and attorney's fees. The Company and its Chief
Executive Officer filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint
in its entirety.

The parties have reached an agreement-in-principle to settle this lawsuit,
subject to approval by the Court and members of the class. The proposed
settlement will not have a material impact on the Company including its results
of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
