Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
July 5, 1998
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the twenty-six week
period ended July 5, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1999. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
Movie Gallery, Inc.'s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 4, 1998.
2. Financing Obligations
The Company has a Credit Agreement with First Union National Bank of North
Carolina with respect to a reducing revolving credit facility (the "Facility").
At July 5, 1998, $58.3 million was outstanding and $18.2 million was available
for borrowing under the Facility. The available amount of the Facility reduces
quarterly with a final maturity of June 30, 2000. The interest rate of the
Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin percentage, which depends
on the Company's cash flow generation and borrowings outstanding. The Company
may repay the Facility at any time without penalty. The more restrictive
covenants of the Facility restrict borrowings based upon cash flow levels.
The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a commercial
bank which effectively fixes the Company's interest rate exposure on $37 million
of the amount outstanding under the Facility at 6.22% plus an applicable margin
percentage. The interest rate swap reduces the risk of increases in interest
rates during the remaining life of the Facility. The Company accounts for its
interest rate swap as a hedge of its debt obligation. The Company pays a fixed
rate of interest and receives payment based on a variable rate of interest. The
difference in amounts paid and received under the contract is accrued and
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense on the debt. There are no
termination penalties associated with the interest rate swap agreement; however,
if the swap agreement was terminated at the Company's option, the Company would
either pay or receive the present value of the remaining hedge payments at the
then prevailing interest rates for the time to maturity of the swap agreement.
The interest rate swap agreement terminates at the time the Facility matures.
3. Earnings Per Share
Effective January 4, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". This statement is effective for fiscal
periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires restatement of prior
periods' earnings per share data. Under this Statement the calculation of
primary and fully diluted earnings per share is replaced with basic and diluted
earnings per share and requires presentation of both amounts on the income
statement. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes
any dilutive effects of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is
similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. Adoption of
this Statement had no significant impact on earnings per share calculations for
any period presented.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)(continued)
3. Earnings Per Share (continued)
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted
earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the periods presented, increased solely by the
effects of shares to be issued from the exercise of dilutive common stock
options (none for the thirteen weeks ended July 5, 1998 and 474,000 for the
twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1998; none for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six
weeks ended July 6, 1997). No adjustments were made to net income (loss) in the
computation of basic or diluted earnings per share.
4. Recently Issued Accounting Standard
In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, Reporting the
Costs of Start-up Activities. The SOP is effective for the Company beginning on
January 4, 1999, and requires that start-up costs capitalized prior to January
4, 1999 be written-off and any future start-up costs to be expensed as incurred.
The unamortized balance of start-up costs as of January 3, 1998 will be written
off as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as of January 4, 1999. The
impact of adopting this SOP has not yet been determined.

</TABLE>
For the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1998, revenues were
$63.7 million and $134.2 million, respectively, increases of 3.8% and 5.6% over
the comparable periods in 1997. The increase was due to an increase in
same-store sales of 4.6% and 6.0% for the thirteen week and twenty-six week
periods, respectively, offset by fewer stores in operation during 1998 versus
1997. The increase in same-store sales for the second quarter and year-to-date
period of 1998 was the result of (i) the Company's increase in depth of copies
of hit titles compared to the prior year periods; (ii) an increase in the game
rental business due to increasing consumer acceptance of the Nintendo 64 and
Sony Playstation game platforms; and (iii) successful, chain-wide internal
marketing programs designed to generate more consumer excitement and traffic in
the Company's base of stores.
Product sales as a percentage of total revenue for the thirteen weeks and
twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1998 were 15.0% and 15.8%, respectively, compared
to 15.1% and 15.3% for the comparable periods in 1997, respectively. This
increase for the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1998 was primarily the result of
the Company's increasing sale of previously viewed rental inventory due, in
part, to greater quantities of rental product available to consumers.
Store operating expenses, which reflect direct store expenses such as lease
payments and in-store payroll, decreased as a percentage of revenues to 52.4%
and 51.0% for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1998,
respectively, from 53.6% and 52.0% for the comparable periods in 1997,
respectively. The decrease in store operating expenses as a percentage of
6
<PAGE>
Movie Gallery, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
And Financial Condition (continued)
revenues was primarily due to the same-store sales increase during the quarter
and some decreases in several expense categories, offset, in part, by an
increase in rental product revenue sharing expense in 1998 versus 1997.
For the second quarter and year-to-date period of 1998, amortization of
videocassette rental inventory decreased as a percentage of revenue to 26.9% and
25.6%, respectively, from 28.2% and 26.4% for the comparable periods in 1997,
respectively. The decrease in amortization as a percentage of revenues was due
primarily to the increased revenues associated with the Company's same-store
sales increase for the second quarter and first two quarters of 1998.
Cost of product sales includes the costs of new videocassettes, confectionery
items and other goods, as well as the unamortized value of previously viewed
rental inventory sold in the Company's stores. Cost of product sales increased
with the increased revenue from product sales and increased as a percentage of
revenues from product sales from 59.9% and 58.1% for the second quarter and
year-to-date period of 1997, respectively, to 69.8% and 67.2% for the second
quarter and year-to-date period of 1998, respectively. The decrease in product
sales gross margins resulted primarily from (i) an intense effort by the Company
to reduce inventory levels through discounts on selected inventory, and (ii)
lower margins on the sale of previously viewed tapes due to selling those tapes
earlier than in the past, which results in a higher write-off of the unamortized
value of the tapes at the time of sale.
Net interest expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 2.2% for the
second quarter and year-to-date period of 1998 from 2.5% and 2.4% for the second
quarter and year-to-date period of 1997, respectively. These decreases were due
primarily to both lower total debt outstanding in 1998 versus 1997 and the
increasing revenues that the Company has achieved.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company's primary capital needs have been for opening and
acquiring new stores and for the purchase of videocassette inventory. Other
capital needs include the remodeling of existing stores, the relocation of
existing stores and the continued maintenance and upgrading of the Company's
point of sale system and management information systems. The Company has funded
inventory purchases, remodeling and relocation programs, new store opening costs
and acquisitions primarily from cash flow from operations, the proceeds of two
public equity offerings, loans under revolving credit facilities and seller
financing.
During the twenty-six weeks ended July 5, 1998, the Company generated
approximately $19.4 million in Adjusted EBITDA versus approximately $10.6
million for the comparable period in 1997, an increase of approximately 82.5%.
The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is attributable primarily to both the same-store
sales increase of 6.0% and the Company's leveraging of rental inventory
purchases in the first and second quarters of 1998 versus the comparable periods
in 1997. "Adjusted EBITDA" is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, less the Company's purchase of videocassette rental inventory
which excludes inventory purchases specifically for new store openings. Adjusted
EBITDA does not take into account capital expenditures, other than purchases of
videocassette rental inventory, and does not represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), is not to be considered as an alternative to net income or any other
GAAP measurements as a measure of operating performance and is not indicative of
cash available to fund cash needs. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA
may not be identical to similarly titled measures of other companies. The
Company believes that in addition to cash flows and net income, Adjusted EBITDA
is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing the operating
performance of the Company because, together with net income and cash flows,
Adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the videocassette specialty retailing industry
to provide investors with an additional basis to evaluate the ability of the
Company to incur and service its debt and to fund growth.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
And Financial Condition (continued)
Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.4 million for the twenty-six
weeks ended July 5, 1998 as compared to $38.6 million for the comparable period
in 1997. The increase was primarily due to an increase in depreciation and
amortization, offset in part by a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued
liabilities, as well as a decrease in merchandise inventory. Over the past two
quarters, the Company's merchandise inventory and accounts payable have been
reduced by 27.8% and 40.4%, respectively. Some of these decreases are associated
with seasonal changes; however, much of the merchandise inventory reduction is
attributable to the Company attempting to reduce and refine its sell-through
inventory presentation by selling older, less-attractive titles to consumers at
a discount and replacing this merchandise with fewer, more attractive product
offerings. The accounts payable decrease is due both to seasonality as well as
the fact that the Company has lowered its overall tape purchases versus a year
ago through copy depth initiatives and revenue sharing, which has lowered its
outstanding payables amount at quarter end.
Net cash used in investing activities was $33.4 million for the twenty-six weeks
ended July 5, 1998 as compared to $45.4 million for the comparable period in
1997, primarily as a result of a decrease in the expenditures of capital for
both videocassette rental inventory and property, furnishings and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $9.2 million for the twenty-six weeks
ended July 5, 1998 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$3.9 million for the comparable period in 1997. This change resulted directly
from the Company's improved Adjusted EBITDA performance and allowed the Company
to decrease its debt outstanding during the first two quarters of 1998 versus an
increase in debt in the comparable period of the prior year.
The Company has a Credit Agreement with First Union National Bank of North
Carolina with respect to a reducing revolving credit facility (the "Facility").
At July 5, 1998, $58.3 million was outstanding and $18.2 million was available
for borrowing under the Facility. The available amount of the Facility reduces
quarterly with a final maturity of June 30, 2000. The interest rate of the
Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin percentage, which depends
on the Company's cash flow generation and borrowings outstanding. The Company
may repay the Facility at any time without penalty. The more restrictive
covenants of the Facility restrict borrowings based upon cash flow levels.
The Company grows its store base through internally developed and acquired
stores and may require capital in excess of internally generated cash flow to
achieve its desired growth. To the extent available, future acquisitions may be
completed using funds available under the Facility, financing provided by
sellers, alternative financing arrangements such as funds raised in public or
private debt or equity offerings or shares of the Company's stock issued to
sellers. However, there can be no assurance that financing will be available to
the Company on terms that will be acceptable, if at all.
At July 5, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3.6 million, due
to the accounting treatment of its videocassette rental inventory. Videocassette
rental inventory is treated as a noncurrent asset under generally accepted
accounting principles because it is not an asset that is reasonably expected to
be completely realized in cash or sold in the normal business cycle. Although
the rental of this inventory generates the major portion of the Company's
revenue, the classification of this asset as noncurrent results in its exclusion
from working capital. The aggregate amount payable for this inventory, however,
is reported as a current liability until paid and, accordingly, is included in
working capital. Consequently, the Company believes that working capital is not
an appropriate measure of its liquidity and it anticipates that it will continue
to operate with a working capital deficit.

Movie Gallery, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
And Financial Condition (continued)
The Company believes its projected cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity
with the Facility, cash on hand and trade credit will provide the necessary
capital to fund its current plan of operations for Fiscal 1998, including its
anticipated new store openings. However, to fund a resumption of the Company's
acquisition program, or to provide funds in the event that the Company's need
for funds is greater than expected, or if certain of the financing sources
identified above are not available to the extent anticipated or if the Company
increases its growth plan, the Company will need to seek additional or
alternative sources of financing. This financing may not be available on terms
satisfactory to the Company. Failure to obtain financing to fund the Company's
expansion plans or for other purposes could have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company has performed an analysis of its operating systems to determine
systems' compatibility with the upcoming year 2000. Substantially all of the
Company's operating systems are year 2000 compliant, and the Company does not
believe that there will be any material exposure related to year 2000
compatibility.
This report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding the Company.
The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and in that regard is
cautioning the readers of this report that a number of important risk factors
could affect the Company's actual results of operations and may cause changes in
the Company's strategy with the result that the Company's operations and results
may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements
made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These risk factors include competitive
factors and weather conditions within the Company's geographic markets, adequate
product availability from Hollywood and the risk factors that are discussed from
time-to-time in the Company's SEC reports, including, but not limited to, the
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 4, 1998.
