        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                June 30, 1996




Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Navarre Corporation and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Entertainment, Inc., have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 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. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the
operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
March 31, 1997.  For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in Navarre Corporation's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 1996.  The shares outstanding and per share
data have been adjusted to reflect the Company's 2-for-1 stock split in the
form of a 100% stock dividend distributed on June 21, 1996.

Certain of this information in this section contains forward-looking
statements.  The Company's actual results could differ materially from the 
statements contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a 
number of factors, including risks and uncertainties inherent in the
Company's business, the consumer market for music products and computer
software products, retail customer buying patterns, new or different
competition in the Company's traditional and new markets and the rate of new
product development and commercialization.

Net sales increased 51.1% from $26.2 million to $39.6 million.  The gain was
primarily due to increased sales in the Computer Products Division.  Computer
products sales increased by 87.9% from $14.9 million to $28.0 million.  This
was primarily due to the Company's gains in CD-ROM market share and
formalized agreements with new accounts and major retailers.  Music sales
increased 2.6% from $11.2 million to $11.6 million. Price increases did not
materially contribute to the increase in net sales in computer products.

<PAGE>

Gross profit increased 41.6% or $1.5 million from $3.6 million to $5.1
million.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased from 13.7%
during the three month period ending June 30, 1995 to 12.8% for the same
period in 1996. Overall gross margins declined due to the fact that lower
gross margin computer products sales accounted for a higher percentage of net
sales. Gross margins from the Computer Products Division's net sales were
$2.7 million or 9.7% as a percentage of net sales during the three month
period in 1996 compared with $1.3 million or 8.5% as a percentage of net
sales in the same period in 1995. The increase in gross margin for the 
Computer Products was primarily due to decreased cost of product.  Gross 
margins from music sales were $2.4 million or 20.4% of music net sales for
the three month period in 1996 compared with $2.3 million or 20.6% of music
net sales for the same period in 1995.

Selling and promotion expense increased from $1.1 million in the prior year
to $1.2 million in 1996 but decreased as a percentage of net sales from 4.1%
to 3.0%.  The higher level of expense was due to increased freight cost on
the higher level of sales.

Distribution and warehousing expense increased from $371,000 in the three
month period for 1995 to $515,000 in the same period in 1996.  As a
percentage of net sales it decreased from 1.4% of net sales to 1.3% of net 
sales.  The increased expense was related to higher volume of product shipped.

General and Administration expenses increased from $2.1 million in the prior
year to $2.5 million in the current period.  As a percentage of net sales,
they decreased from 8.0% to 6.3%.

The decreases in selling and promotion expense, distribution and warehousing
expense and general and administration expense as a percent of net sales were
in part, the result of the Company's cost containment program that was 
commenced in Fiscal 1996.  The Company is now experiencing the positive
benefits.

Interest expense increased from $340,000 for the three month perio in 1995 to
$463,000 for the three month period in 1996.  This increase resulted from 
substantially higher borrowing to support the Company's higher inventory
levels resulting from its growth in sales and market share.

Net earnings were $201,000 for the three month period in 1996 compared with
a net loss of $174,000 in the same period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically financed its working capital needs through bank 
borrowings. The level of borrowings has historically fluctuated significantly
during the year.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had net accounts receivable
of $42.4 million and inventory of $16.5 million.  These assets are primarily
financed by accounts payable of $29.7 million and bank borrowings of $23.3
million.

<PAGE>

The Company has a revolving line of credit with Heller Financial, Inc.
The available amount fluctuates based on an asset borrowing base.  Maximum
borrowings available under the revolving line of credit are $35.0 million and
are secured by substantially all the Company's assets.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 1996, net sales were $39.6 million,
an increase of $13.4 million over net sales of $26.2 million during the same
three-month period for the prior year.  The Company had a net income of
$201,000 during this three month period.  The Company financed this growth by
using cash of $1.1 million from operating activities.  Inventories increased 
by $1.6 million during the period and accounts receivable increased by $ 1.4
million.  These changes were offset partially by a $1.7 million increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses.  Investing activities used $1.6 
million of cash, including $1.2 million for investments, $211,000 for the 
purchase of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements and $200,000 for
a loan to an officer. The Company generated net cash of $2.8 million in
financing activities primarily through proceeds of net bank borrowings of 
$2.2 million during the period and proceeds of $497,000 from borrowings from
an officer. Cash at the end of the period was approximately as the same as it
was at the beginning of the period.

The Company anticipates it will utilize its credit facility during the next 
twelve months to meet seasonal working capital needs.  The Company believes
cash from operations together with borrowing under the credit facility with
Heller will be appropriate to fund its working capital needs over the next 
twelve months.
