              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and therefore do not
include all information and notes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Sound Source Interactive, Inc. and its

of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of
management, the results of operations as reported for the interim period reflect
all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of operating
results.

Note B - Initial Public Offering (IPO)

On July 1, 1996, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of common stock at $4.00
per share and 1,200,000 redeemable warrants at $.25 per warrant. Net proceeds
totalled $7,973,305, net of offering costs of $1,926,695. On August 14, 1996,
the underwriters exercised a portion of their "overallotment" option, pursuant
to the underwriting agreement, which resulted in the Company issuing an
additional 160,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share and 171,775
redeemable warrants at $.25 per warrant. Net proceeds totalled $594,161, net of
offering costs of $88,783.

Note C - Notes Payable and Notes Payable to Related Party

redeemable warrants in connection with the conversion of a note payable to
related party of $500,000, plus accrued interest of $4,164.

Note D - Accounts Receivable and Short Term Advance

In June, 1995, the Company entered into a sales and distribution agreement with
a subsidiary of Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. (Acclaim). Under the terms of the
agreement, Acclaim was responsible for the distribution of the Company's
products on a world-wide basis to retail accounts. Effective April 1, 1996, such
agreement was terminated.

In July, 1996, Acclaim submitted certain information to the Company together
with payment of $256,067 and a promissory note with a principal amount of
$256,067, maturing August 26, 1996 and bearing interest at 10% per annum. Such
represented the balances of all amounts due to the Company under the
distribution agreement, as determined by Acclaim. Included in the information
provided by Acclaim, it was noted that the Company was not obligated to repay a
short-term advance totaling $400,000 previously made by Acclaim to the Company.
On August 28, 1996, the Company received $256,067 plus accrued interest of
$2,175 pursuant to the terms of the promissory note. As of December 31, 1996,
the Company has recorded additional amounts which it believes are due from
Acclaim. Such amounts are fully reserved, due to disputes and discrepancies in
the information as reported by Acclaim, (see Part II, Item 1 - Legal
Proceedings).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
1996

Net Sales. Net sales increased by 15.0 percent from $807,958 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to $929,271 for the three months ended March 31,
1997. This increase is primarily attributable to increased distribution by the
Company's North American distributor, Simon and Schuster Interactive
Distribution Services, Inc. (SSIDS), sales by the Company to its foreign
distributors, and other direct sales in North America. Sales to international
distributors for the three months ended March 31, 1997, were approximately
$194,544 as compared to minimal international sales during the same period in
1996. Sales to SSIDS for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, were
approximately $648,400. No sales during the comparable period in 1996 were to
SSIDS. During the three months ended March 31,1996, the Company recorded sales
to its former distributor, Acclaim Distribution, Inc. in the amount of $797,187.

During the three months ended March 31, 1997, net sales of one of the Company's
products was $322,518. The license on this product expired on March 31, 1997
with the sell-off period ending on June 30, 1997. During the three months ended
March 31, 1996, net sales of one of the Company's products was $298,597.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by 8.9 percent from $432,595 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 to $470,878 for the three months ended March
31, 1997. However, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly
from 53.5 percent to 50.7 percent during these respective periods. The increase
in total cost of sales is due to the above noted 15.0 percent increase in net
sales partially offset by decreased write-downs of excess or slow moving
inventories. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was lower
than year-to-date as 39.9 percent of net revenues for the quarter compared to
19.2 percent year-to-date was derived from one product which has a higher cost
of sales due to higher packaging and royalty costs as well as continued
marketplace pressures to reduce sales prices.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses decreased by 25 percent from
$349,437 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $262,122 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, and decreased as a percentage of net sales from
43.3 percent to 28.2 percent, respectively. The higher dollar amount for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1997 is due to the higher advertising expenses and charges by Acclaim
Distribution, Inc. for co-op advertising. The decrease as a percentage of sales
is due to the above noted 15.0 percent increase in net sales, particularly
international sales for which a smaller percentage of marketing effort is
required by the Company as many of those functions are primarily performed by
the individual distributors.

During the three months ended March 31, 1997 the Company did not launch any new
products or major promotions which resulted in lower marketing expenses. The
Company expects an increase in marketing expenses during the quarter ending June
30, 1997 due to launching of new products. Additionally, in March and April
1997, the Company hired additional sales and public relations personnel.

Research and Development. Research and development costs increased 9.7 percent
from $222,900 during the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $244,466 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, and decreased as a percentage of net sales
from 27.6 percent to 26.3 percent, respectively. The increase in costs is
primarily associated with (i) the Company hiring programmers to bring product
development in-house, (ii) increased personnel and hardware/software costs
associated with the development of the Company's video games and other new
products, (iii) increased personnel as the Company increases the quantity of
products under development and (iv) the enhancement of its current product
lines. The Company anticipates that research and development costs will continue
to increase as the Company hires 


                                       10
<PAGE>

additional personnel to support an increase in the number of products under
development and to perform additional development activities internally.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by
20.9 percent from $607,772 during the three months ended March 31, 1996 to
$480,692 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and decreased as a
percentage of sales from 75.2 percent to 51.7 percent, respectively. During the
three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company incurred additional expenses
associated with being a publicly held company, principally directors' and legal
fees including those fees associated with the Acclaim Distribution, Inc. law
suit (see Part II, Item 1- Legal Proceedings). During the three months ended
March 31, 1996, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable from its former distributor, Acclaim Distribution, Inc., in the
amount of $252,668.

Compensation in Connection with Common Stock and Common Stock Options Issued for
Services Rendered. Expenses recorded by the Company in connection with common
stock and common stock options issued for services rendered amounted to $89,304
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and relate to the vesting of common
stock options issued during fiscal 1994. No such expense was recorded in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as no vesting occurred during that quarter.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31,
1996

Net Sales. Net sales increased by 74.2 percent from $1,928,649 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 to $3,359,517 for the nine months ended March 31,
1997. This increase is primarily attributable to increased distribution by the
Company's North American distributor, Simon and Schuster Interactive
Distribution Services, Inc. (SSIDS), sales by the Company to its foreign
distributors and other direct sales in North America. Sales to international
distributors for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 were approximately
$629,675, as compared to minimal international sales during the same period in
1996. Sales to SSIDS for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997, were
approximately $2,099,253. No sales during the comparable period in 1996 were to
SSIDS. During the nine months ended December 31, 1996, the Company recorded
sales to its former distributor, Acclaim Distribution, Inc., in the amount of
$1,617,839.

During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, net sales of one of the Company's
products was $645,457. The license on this product expired on March 31, 1997
with the sell-off period ending on June 30, 1997. During the nine months ended
March 31, 1997, net sales of one of the Company's products was $414,757.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by 27.7 percent from $1,115,105 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1996 to $1,423,880 for the nine months ended March
31, 1997. However, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from
57.8 percent to 42.4 percent during these respective periods. The increase in
total cost of sales is due to the above noted 74.2 percent increase in net
sales. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is primarily
due to changes in product mix to higher priced items and the sale of certain
end-of-life inventory which had been previously written-off as slow-moving.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company recorded reserves
related to guaranteed royalties and slow-moving inventories which also resulted
in the higher percentage of cost of sales during the nine months ended March 31,
1996.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses increase by 3.5 percent from
$922,215 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 to $954,875 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997, and decreased as a percentage of net sales from
47.8 percent to 28.4 percent, respectively. The change in dollar amount is
principally related to increased marketing and sales efforts to support new
product releases during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and increased
salaries due to additional sales personnel. The decrease as a percentage of
sales is due to the above noted 74.2 percent increase in net sales, particularly


                                       11
<PAGE>

international sales for which a smaller percentage of marketing effort is
required by the Company as many of those functions are primarily performed by
the individual distributors.

Research and Development. Research and development costs increased 66.3 percent
from $489,053 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 to $813,339 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997, and decreased as a percentage of net sales from
25.4 percent to 24.2 percent, respectively. The increase in costs is primarily
associated with (i) the Company hiring programmers to bring all product
development in-house, (ii) increased personnel and hardware/software costs
associated with the development of the Company's video games and other new
products, (iii) increased personnel as the Company increases the quantity of
products under development and (iv) the enhancement of its current product
lines. The Company anticipates that research and development costs will continue
to increase as the Company hires additional personnel to support an increase in
the number of products under development and to perform additional development
activities internally.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by
17.7 percent from $1,816,610 during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 to
$1,495,546 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, and decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 94.2 percent to 44.5 percent, respectively.
Included in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 is a one-time charge of $329,644 related to the departure of the
Company's former president/chief operating officer. During the nine months ended
March 31, 1997, the Company incurred additional expenses associated with being a
publicly held company, principally directors' and legal fees; legal fees
associated with the Acclaim Distribution, Inc. law suit (see Part II, Item 1
Legal Proceedings); and printing, mailing and legal fees associated with the
Company's annual report and stockholder meeting. During the nine month period
ended March 31, 1996, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable from its former distributor, Acclaim Distribution, Inc., in the
amount of $662,478.

Compensation in Connection with Common Stock and Common Stock Options Issued for
Services Rendered. Expenses recorded by the Company in connection with common
stock and common stock options issued for services rendered amounted to $267,911
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and relate to the vesting of common
stock options issued during fiscal 1994. No such expense was recorded for the
nine months period ended March 31, 1996 as no vesting occurred during this
period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $1,985,695 compared to
($5,373,974) at June 30, 1996, an increase of $7,359,669. During the nine months
ended March 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents increased $777,859 directly as a
result of the Company's initial public offering on July 1, 1996. Accounts
receivable increased $345,593 due to increased sales of products to the
Company's North American distributor, it's international distributors and other
direct sales, partially off-set by the collection of $912,134 from Acclaim
Distribution, Inc.

During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, current liabilities decreased by
$5,649,241, from $7,996,964 at June 30, 1996 to $2,347,723 at March 31, 1997.
This decrease is primarily attributable to the repayment of notes payable, notes
payable to related party and a short-term advance, as well as accrued interest
thereon, aggregating $6,255,195 at June 30, 1996.

The Company has experienced a significant increase in growth during the last
nine month period, as compared to the same period of time in the prior fiscal
year. The Company continues to search for new opportunities to obtain licenses,
develop and sell products, and to purchase products that are at or near
completion of development. Additionally, the Company is seeking new and
innovative ways to deliver its products to consumers, some of which may require
large up-front cash resources. If the Company enters into agreements in such
business opportunities in the future, the Company may require additional
financing to fund its growth.

Sound Source Interactive, Inc. does not provide forecasts of potential future
financial performance. While management of the Company is optimistic about the
Company's long-term prospects, the following issues and uncertainties among
others, should be considered in evaluating its growth outlook.

Technological Developments. The personal computer software industry is
characterized by rapid technological advancement and the uncertainty of new
breakthroughs and developments in emerging areas such as the Internet.

Distribution Channels. Traditional retail distribution channels have been
experiencing a major restructuring and are fostering the development of
alternative distribution outlets.

Licensed Properties. There is a risk factor inherent in any venture involving
licensed properties. Not every licensed product is guaranteed success; only the
software consumer can ultimately determine the outcome. Additionally, there is
no guarantee that the Company can obtain future licenses of either the quality
or the quantity necessary for the Company to reach its goals.

Product Ship Schedules. Delays in product ship schedules can cause problems with
product fulfillment, revenue recognition and retailer orders.

Research and Development. Research and development costs can very significantly
depending on the products currently in development and potential products the
Company may choose to develop.

Consumer Preferences. Consumers ultimately determine the success of software
products. Not every product will be a hit and residual inventory may exist
depending on actual sell through.
