                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Members and Board of Directors
    of Reel.Com LLC:
                                       
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
operations, of members' deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Reel.Com LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, at January 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the period from July 1, 1997 (date of inception) to January
31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  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 audit.  We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

As more fully described in Note 7, the Company was dissolved and Reel.com, Inc.
was formed on April 30, 1998.  On October 1, 1998, Reel.com, Inc. merged with
Hollywood Entertainment Corporation and ceased to exist as a separate
corporation.

                                 REEL.COM LLC
                    (A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                       

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   The accompanying financial statements present the financial position and
   results of operations of Reel.Com LLC (the Company).  The Company is the
   founder of the Reel.Com website, that enables movie enthusiasts to buy, rent
   or research films.  It also features free movie matching services to help
   users discover films that match their tastes.  The Company also operates a
   retail store in Berkeley, California.  Both the retail and online stores
   specialize in classic, hard-to-find, foreign, and art-house movies, as well
   as mainstream Hollywood films.
   
   Upon the formation of the Company on July 1, 1997, Reel LLC, a company under
   common control, assigned $(521,666) in net liabilities to the Company in
   exchange for 4,700,000 Class A units of the Company.  The net liabilities
   were transferred at historical cost basis.
   
   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
   
   As more fully described in Note 7, the Company was dissolved and Reel.com,
   Inc. (the Corporation) was formed on April 30, 1998.  On October 1, 1998,
   Reel.com, Inc. merged with a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Hollywood
   Entertainment Corporation and ceased to exist as a separate corporation.
   
   RISKS AND USE OF ESTIMATES:
   
   The Company operates in the online retail industry, which is new, rapidly
   evolving and intensely competitive.  The Company competes primarily with
   traditional retail outlets and other entities that maintain similar
   commercial web sites.  There can be no assurance that the Company will
   achieve sufficient online traffic to realize economies of scale that
   justify the significant investments by third parties.
   
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
   assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
   disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
   financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
   during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
   estimates.
   
   REVENUE RECOGNITION:
   
   Online revenue primarily consists of sales of videocassettes over the
   internet website.  The Company also rents videocassettes online, however,
   online rental revenue is not material. Retail revenue primarily consists of
   videocassette rentals from the Company store.  The Company also sells
   videocassettes from the store, however, these sales are not material.
   
   The Company recognizes revenue from the online store, net of any discounts,
   when the videocassettes are shipped to customers.  Outbound shipping and
   handling charges are included in net sales.  Revenue from gift certificates
   is recognized upon product shipment following redemption.  The Company
   provides an allowance for sales returns based on historical experience.
   Revenue from the retail store is recognized at time of rental or sale.
   
   
   
                                  10
   
   COST OF REVENUE:
   
   Cost of revenue includes cost of videocassettes sold, shipping costs,
   amortization of videocassette rental inventory, and payroll costs.
   
   PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT:
   
   Product development expenses consist primarily of payroll and related
   expenses for web site development, systems and telecommunications
   operations personnel and consultants, systems and telecommunications
   infrastructure.  To date, all product development costs have been
   expensed as incurred.
   
   VIDEOCASSETTE RENTAL INVENTORY:
   
   Videocassettes are recorded at average cost and amortized over their
   estimated economic life with no provision for salvage value.
   Videocassettes that are considered base stock are amortized over thirty-
   six months on a straight-line basis.  Videocassettes that are considered
   new release feature films, frequently ordered in large quantities to
   satisfy initial demand, are amortized over nine months.
   
   As videocassette rental inventory is sold or retired, the applicable cost
   and accumulated amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any
   gain or loss thereon is recognized in operations.
   
   The Company purchases a majority of its videocassette rental inventory
   from an independent third party distributor.  The Company has no long-
   term contracts or arrangements with this vendor that guarantees the
   availability of merchandise, the continuation of particular payment terms
   or the extension of credit limits.  There can be no assurance that the
   distributor will continue to sell merchandise to the Company on current
   terms or that the Company will be able to establish new or extend current
   vendor relationships to ensure acquisition of merchandise in a timely and
   efficient manner on acceptable commercial terms.  If the Company were
   unable to develop and maintain relationships with its vendor that would
   allow it to obtain sufficient quantities of merchandise on acceptable
   commercial terms, such inability could have a material adverse effect on
   the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of
   operations.
   
   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
   
   Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
   Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line  basis over the estimated
   useful lives of those assets.  Computer equipment is depreciated over an
   estimated useful life of 3 years and office furniture and equipment is
   depreciated over 5 years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over
   their estimated useful life and term of the lease, which is 10 years.
   
   When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated
   depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss
   is included in operations.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to
   operations as incurred.
   
                                  11
   
   INCOME TAXES:
   
   The Company is not subject to income taxes as the members are
   individually liable for their own income tax payments.  Accordingly, no
   provision has been made for income taxes in the financial statements of
   the Company.
   
   ADVERTISING EXPENSE:
   
   Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising
   expense was $276,851 for the period ended January 31, 1998 and is
   included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying statement of
   operations.
   
   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
   
   In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
   Income, which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income.
   The Company is required to adopt this statement in fiscal year 1998.  The
   Company does not expect the impact of this statement to be material.

   revenues, as defined in the related agreements.
   
   From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and
   other matters arising in the normal course of business, none of which are
   considered material.
   

5. NOTES PAYABLE TO MEMBERS:
   
   Reel.Com LLC issued $1,122,712 in convertible promissory notes with
   detachable warrants, to several investors in December 1997 and January 1998.
   Interest accrues from the date of the notes on the unpaid principal amount
   at a rate equal to 5.6% annum, compounded semi-annually.  Principal and
   unpaid interest are due and payable upon demand by the holders of a majority-
   in-interest of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at any time after
   June 30, 1998.
   
   The entire principal amount of the convertible promissory notes and any
   unpaid interest shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company
   or its successor's equity securities at the closing of the Company's or its
   successor's next equity financing yielding gross proceeds to the Company or
   its successor of at least $2.0 million.  The number of shares of equity
   securities to be issued upon such conversion shall be equal to the entire
   principal amount of notes plus accrued interest divided by the price per
   share of the equity securities at the time of the next equity financing.
   
   Warrants issued with the convertible promissory notes entitle holders to
   purchase the number of shares of equity securities equal to 15% of the
   original principal amount of the convertible promissory note divided by the
   price per share of the equity securities at the time of the next equity
   financing.  The warrants terminate upon the earliest of five years after the
   date of issuance of the warrants, the sale of the Company's assets, or upon
   filing for an initial public offering.
   
                                   13
   
   On December 31, 1997, the Company issued a nonconvertible $107,599 note
   payable to a founder.  The note bears interest of 5.68% per annum.  This
   promissory note is due and payable upon the closing of the Company's or its
   successor's next round of equity financing yielding gross proceeds to the
   Company or its successor of at least $2.0 million.
   
   As more fully described in Note 7, the Company was dissolved and Reel.com,
   Inc. was formed on April 30, 1998.  In May 1998, the Corporation issued
   7,140,096 shares of Series C preferred stock at $2.12 per share.  Upon the
   closing of the Series C preferred stock financing, the convertible
   promissory notes and accrued interest were automatically converted into
   shares of Series C preferred stock.
   

6.   MEMBERS' DEFICIT:
     
   The members have made capital contributions to the Company in exchange for
   either Class A units or Class B units.  Subject to the approval of the Board
   of Directors, additional investors may be admitted to the Company as either
   Class A members or Class B members upon making capital contributions.  No
   member shall be required to make additional capital contributions or loans
   to the Company.
   
   ALLOCATION OF OPERATING INCOME AND LOSSES:
   
   Before any allocation of operating income or loss can be made, special
   allocations may be made by the Company, as further described in the
   Limited Liability Company Agreement of Reel.Com LLC.  Operating income is
   first allocated to the members in proportion to and to the extent of the
   amount of operating loss and capital loss previously allocated, net of
   allocated capital profit and prior operating income.  Then, operating
   income is allocated to the Class B members, in proportion to cumulative
   distributions made, until the Class B members have received allocations of
   operating income and capital profits equal to such cumulative
   distributions.  Lastly, operating income is allocated to the members in
   proportion to their member percentages.
   
   Operating loss is first allocated to the members in proportion to their
   positive capital account balances until the members' capital accounts have
   been reduced to zero.  Then, operating loss is allocated to the members in
   proportion to their member percentages.
   
   ALLOCATION OF CAPITAL PROFIT AND LOSS:
   
   Before any allocation of operating income or loss can be made, special
   allocations may be made by the Company, as further described in the
   Agreement.  Capital profits are first allocated to the members in
   proportion to and to the extent of the amount of capital loss and
   operating loss previously allocated, net of allocated operating income and
   prior capital profit.  In the event that a dividend contingency has been
   triggered, capital profits are then allocated to Class B members, in
   proportion to the cumulative distributions made, until such time that the
   Class B members have received cumulative allocations of operating income
   and capital profit equal to such cumulative distributions.  Lastly,
   capital profits are allocated to the Class A and Class B members in
   proportion to their respective unit percentages, and within each class in
   proportion to their class percentages.
   
   Capital loss is first allocated to the members in such amounts and
   proportions in which they have previously been allocated capital profit
   until all such prior allocations of capital profit have been reversed.
   Then, capital loss is allocated to the members in proportion to their
   positive capital account balances until the members' capital accounts have
   been reduced to zero.  Lastly, capital loss is allocated to the members in
   proportion to their member percentages.
   
                                   14
   
   CASH FLOW:

   Cash flow shall be determined and used in the sole discretion of the Board
   of Directors (i) to pay the expenses of the Company, (ii) to expand the
   business and operations of the Company and (iii) to establish and maintain
   reasonable operating and capital reserves.  Cash flow in excess of the
   amounts required pursuant to the prior sentence may be distributed from
   time to time if approved by the Board of Directors and by Class B members
   and Class A members each of whose class percentages exceed 50%; such
   distributions shall be made to the members in proportion to their member
   percentages.  Class B members shall be entitled to receive in any fiscal
   year, when, as and if, declared by the Board of Directors, out of any
   assets at the time legally available therefor, a cash distribution equal
   to an annual compounded return of 9%, calculated on the Class B members'
   capital contributions from the date of such Class B members' admission to
   the Company.  Such amounts shall be payable in preference and priority to
   any distributions above.  The right to such distribution shall be
   cumulative.
   
   CAPITAL PROCEEDS:
   
   Capital proceeds shall be determined and used in the sole discretion of
   the Board of Directors to pay the expenses of the Company and to establish
   and maintain reasonable operating and capital reserves.  Capital proceeds
   in excess of those amounts required shall be distributed by the Company as
   follows:  first, to Class B members, in proportion to their respective
   class percentages, until the Class B members have received from
   distributions an amount equal to their capital contributions; second, in
   the event that a dividend contingency has been triggered, to Class B
   members in proportion to their respective class percentages, until the
   Class B members have received from distributions an amount equal to an
   annual compounded return of nine percent (9%) of Class B members' capital
   contributions; third, to Class A members in an amount equal to their
   capital contributions; and fourth, to Class A and Class B members in
   proportion to their unit percentages.
   
                                   15
   
   LIQUIDATION:
   
   After the allocation of operating income or loss, and capital profit or
   loss, the assets of the Company shall first be distributed in one or more
   installments in the following order of priority: (i) to the payment of the
   expenses of the winding-up, liquidation and dissolution of the Company;
   (ii) to creditors of the Company, including one or more members, in
   satisfaction of liabilities of the Company other than liabilities for
   distributions to the members and (iii) to the establishment of reserves
   necessary or desirable to fund known or contingent liabilities to
   creditors.  The remaining assets of the Company shall first be distributed
   to the members in accordance with the positive balances in their capital
   accounts, and then in proportion to their respective member percentages.
   
   CONVERSION RIGHTS:
   
   At the request of a majority in interest of each of the Class A and Class
   B units then outstanding (each voting separately as separate classes), the
   Company shall change its form of organization from a limited liability
   company to a corporation.  Upon the conversion of the Company from a
   limited liability company to a corporation, each Class A unit will be
   exchanged for one share of Series A preferred stock of the corporation,
   and each Class B unit will be exchanged for one share of Series B
   preferred stock of the corporation.

  an amount based on a formula (as defined in the merger agreement), and (ii)
  for each share of capital stock not paid in cash, stockholders received a
  number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Hollywood Entertainment

                      HOLLYWOOD ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION

        INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

     On October 1, 1998, Hollywood Entertainment Corporation ("Hollywood")
completed the merger of Reel.com, Inc. ("Reel.com") with and into Hollywood.
As a result, Hollywood acquired all the outstanding shares of Reel.com for
approximately $30 million in cash, 4,000,000 shares of Hollywood Common Stock
and 1,000,000 shares of Hollywood Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.
Concurrent with the purchase of Reel.com, Hollywood sold 1,982,537 shares of
Common Stock and 1,380,263 of Shares A Redeemable Preferred Stock at a purchase
price of $13.50 per share to certain shareholders and affiliates of Reel.com.
The Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock will be converted to Hollywood Common
Stock on a one for one basis upon shareholder approval, for which a meeting has
been scheduled on December 30, 1998.

     The pro forma financial information has been prepared as if the
acquisition of Reel.com had taken place at September 30, 1998 for the pro forma
condensed balance sheet and at January 1, 1997 for the pro forma condensed
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 and nine months
ended September 30, 1998.  Although Reel.com's fiscal year ends on January 31,
January 1998 results have been included in the pro forma statement of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to represent a nine
month reporting period.  Reel.com's sales and net loss for the month of January
1998 were $367,302 and $472,579, respectively.
     
     The acquisition of Reel.com has been accounted for as a purchase, whereby
the basis for accounting of the assets and liabilities have been based upon
their estimated fair market values at the date of the acquisition.  Pro forma
adjustments represent Hollywood's preliminary determination of these values and
are based upon estimates and certain assumptions considered reasonable under
the circumstances.  Any purchase price or fair market value adjustments will be
made within one year from the acquisition date and are not expected to be
material to the pro forma financial information taken as a whole.
     
     These pro forma financial statements are provided for illustrative
purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have
occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or which may be
obtained in the future.  All information contained herein should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto
included in Hollywood's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997, the Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Reel.com
included in this Form 8-K/A and the Notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed
financial information.

        Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments

(a) Records sale of 1,982,537 shares of Common Stock and 1,380,263 shares of
    Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock for aggregate proceeds of $45,397,800
    ($13.50 per share).

(b) Records cash paid to shareholders of Reel.com and transaction costs in
    connection with the acquisition.

(c) Records issuance of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares
    of Series A Preferred Stock at the fair market value of $10.69 per share.

(d) Records the fair market value of stock options issued in connection with
    the assumption of Reel.com's incentive stock option plan.  The stock options
    have been valued using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model.

(e) Eliminates the equity accounts of Reel.com.

(f) Records the pro forma purchase price allocations to goodwill and other
    identifiable intangibles.

(g) Reflects the write-off of purchased research and development identified in
    the purchase price allocation.  The pro forma statements of operations 
    exclude the write-off of purchased research and development due to its 
    non-recurring nature.

(h) Eliminates loans from Hollywood to Reel.com.

Statement of Operations Pro Forma Adjustments
    
(i) Reflects the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles associated
    with the purchase of Reel.com.  Amortization is over the estimated useful 
    life of two years.

(j) Reflects the income tax benefit at Hollywood's effective tax rate of 40.5%
    as the Company would have been able to realize the tax benefits of the 
    losses generated by Reel.com.  Amortization of goodwill is not deductible 
    for tax purposes.

(k) Reflects the additional shares issued and sold in connection with Reel.com
    acquisition.  The amount shown here does not include the dilutive effect 
    of the stock options issued in connection with the Reel.com acquisition 
    because doing so would be anti-dilutive.

(l) Eliminates the dilutive effect of Hollywood stock options since the
    combined group has a net loss and including the stock options would be 
    anti-dilutive.
