3.   Long-term Obligations

     In August 1997, the Company issued $200 million principal amount senior
subordinated notes (the "Notes") due August 15, 2004. The proceeds received from
the sale of the Notes, net of offering costs of $6.0 million, were used to repay
the entire outstanding indebtedness under the then existing bank revolving loan.
The Company recorded the charge for the write-off of the 

                                       6
<PAGE>
remaining deferred financing costs related to the indebtedness repaid as an
extraordinary loss of $ 0.5 million, net of related income tax benefit of $0.4
million, in the current year third quarter.

     In September 1997, the Company entered into a new senior revolving credit
agreement which provides for the availability of up to $300 million in aggregate
extension of credit. The maximum available amount of $300 million will be
reduced by $37.5 million per quarter beginning December 5, 2000. The outstanding
balance is due and payable on September 5, 2002. Revolving credit loans under
the credit agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at an applicable
margin over the agent bank's base rate or the IBOR rate. The applicable margin
is based upon the ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated adjusted
EBITDA, as defined below. The credit agreement also provides for a commitment
fee of 1/2% of any unused portion of the credit agreement. Among other
restrictions, the credit agreement contains financial covenants relating to
specified levels of: indebtedness to earnings before interest expense, taxes,
depreciation and amortization less 30% of total rental revenues for all stores
after deducting from such 30% of total revenues any cash charges associated with
the acquisition of inventory (adjusted EBITDA); adjusted EBITDA less taxes paid
in cash to interest expense; maintenance of average store contribution levels;
and the maintenance of a minimum net worth. Amounts outstanding under the credit
agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

4.   Accounting Pronouncements

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital
Structure" which are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997.
The Company believes the implementation of these statements will not have a
material effect on its results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

Revenue

     Revenue increased by $140.4 million, or 69%, in the current year three
quarters and by $48.9 million, or 65%, in the current year third quarter
compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year, respectively. These
increases were primarily due to the opening by the Company of 231 and 121 new
superstores in the current year three quarters and third quarter, respectively.
The Company ended the quarter with 782 stores in 39 states compared

                                       8
<PAGE>
with 453 stores in 30 states in the corresponding period of the prior year.
Revenue was also favorably impacted by an increase of 4% and 2% in comparable
store revenue in the current year three quarters and third quarter,
respectively. The Company's pricing of videocassette rentals and merchandise for
sale has not changed significantly in 1997 compared with 1996.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Cost of Product Sales

     The cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales increased from
60.6% and 60.0%, in the prior year three quarters and third quarter,
respectively, to 62.7% and 62.5% in the current year three quarters and third
quarter, respectively. The Company's gross margin on product sales is affected
by the proportion of hit sell-through titles, since the hit titles generally
have a lower gross margin markup. The Company's gross margin was negatively
impacted by the increased sales of hit sell-through titles in the current year
three quarters and third quarter compared to the corresponding periods of the
prior year.

Operating and Selling

     Operating and selling expenses consist principally of all store expenses,
including payroll, occupancy, advertising, depreciation and rental revenue
sharing. Operating and selling expenses increased by $105.6 million, or 73%, in
the current year three quarters, and increased by $41.1 million, or 79%, in the
current year third quarter compared with the corresponding periods of the prior
year. The increases were primarily due to the opening by the Company of new
superstores in the current year, as noted above.

General and Administrative

     General and administrative expenses increased by $5.6 million, or 44%, in
the current year three quarters, and increased by $2.0 million, or 45%, in the
current year third quarter, compared with the corresponding periods of the prior
year. The increase was primarily due to the cost of managing additional stores
and the staffing of the Company's corporate and regional zone offices. The
decrease as a percentage of total revenue was due to the increase in total
revenue without a proportional increase in corporate overhead.

Amortization of Intangibles

     Amortization of intangibles increased slightly by $0.3 million in the
current year three quarters, and increased by $0.1 million, in the current year
third quarter compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year.

                                       9
<PAGE>
Interest Expense

     Interest expense was $7.4 million and $3.8 million for the current year
three quarters and third quarter, respectively, compared with $2.9 million and
$1.2 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in
interest expense was primarily due to increased levels of borrowing associated
with the issuance of the senior subordinated notes (see Note 3) combined with
increased borrowings under its previous revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes

     The effective tax rate for the Company was a provision of 40 percent for
both the current and prior year three quarters and third quarter, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company generates substantial operating cash flow since most of its
revenue is received in cash. The amount of cash generated from operations in the
current year three quarters significantly exceeded the current debt service
requirements of the Company's long-term obligations. The capital expenditures
(including purchases of videocassette inventory) of the Company are primarily
funded by the excess operating cash flow and from the excess proceeds from the
debt recapitalization (see Cash Provided by Financing Activities). In addition,
the Company has a revolving line of credit available to address the timing of
certain working capital and capital expenditure disbursements. The Company
believes that the cash flow from operations, supplemented by the availability of
a revolving line of credit, will provide the Company with adequate liquidity and
the capital necessary to achieve its planned expansion through at least 1999.

     The Company ended the period with $4.4 million in cash. Working capital as
of September 30, 1997 totaled $8.1 million compared with $6.4 million at
December 31, 1996. Videocassette rental inventories are accounted for as
noncurrent assets under generally accepted accounting principles because they
are not assets which are reasonably expected to be completely realized in cash
or sold in the normal business cycle. Although the rental of this inventory
generates a substantial portion of the Company's revenue, the classification of
these assets as noncurrent excludes them from the computation of working
capital. The acquisition cost of videocassette rental inventories, however, is
reported as a current liability until paid and, accordingly, included in the
computation of working capital. Consequently, the Company believes working
capital is not as significant a measure of financial condition for companies in
the video retail industry as it is for companies in other industries. Because of
the accounting treatment of videocassette rental inventory as a noncurrent
asset, the Company may, from time to time, operate with a working capital
deficit.

<PAGE>
Cash Provided by Operating  Activities

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $25.4 million in the
current year three quarters compared with the corresponding period of the prior
year primarily due to the non-cash impact of higher depreciation and
amortization expenses, partially offset by lower results of operations in the
current year three quarters (see Results of Operations).

Cash Used in Investing Activities

     Net cash used in investing activities increased by $117.3 million in the
current year three quarters compared with the corresponding period of the prior
year, primarily due to the increased purchases of videocassette rental inventory
for new and existing stores and capital expenditures with respect to new store
construction, remodeling of certain existing stores and for the continued
development of information management systems.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

     Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $107.5 million in
the current year three quarters compared with the corresponding period of the
prior year as a result of the recapitalization of the Company's debt structure
through the issuance of $200 million of 10 5/8% senior subordinated notes (the
Notes), all of the principal of which is due August 15, 2004 (see Note 3). The
proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, net of offering costs of $6.0 million,
were used to repay a previously existing bank revolving loan. The excess
proceeds from the issuance were used to fund capital expenditures (including
purchase of videocassette rental inventory) in the current year three quarters.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into a new
revolving credit agreement which provided for the availability of up to $300
million in revolving credit loans. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had no
outstanding revolving credit loans under the credit facility.
