              TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     (Information at January 31, 1998 and for the three month periods ended
                     January 31, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited)

1.  Organization:

Take-Two  Interactive  Software,  Inc. (the  "Company") was  incorporated in the
State  of  Delaware  on  September  30,  1993.  Take-Two  and its  wholly  owned
subsidiaries,  Mission Studios  Corporation  ("Mission"),  Take-Two  Interactive
Software  Europe Limited  ("TTE"),  Alternative  Reality  Technologies  ("ART"),
Inventory  Management  Systems,  Inc.("IMSI"),   Alliance  Inventory  Management
("AIM") and Creative  Alliance  Group Inc.  ("CAG")  design,  develop,  publish,
market and distribute  interactive software games for use on multimedia personal
computer and video game console platforms.  The Company's  interactive  software
games are sold primarily in the United States, Europe and Asia.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies and Transactions:

Basis of Presentation in Accordance

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
with  the   instructions  to  Form  10-QSB  and  Item  310  of  Regulation  S-B.
Accordingly,  they 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  only of  normal
recurring  entries  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.
Operating  results for the three  month  period  ended  January 31, 1998 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
October 31, 1998. For further information,  refer to the consolidated  financial
statements and footnotes  included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended October 31, 1997.

On July 31, 1997,  the Company  acquired all the  outstanding  stock of IMSI and
CAG.  IMSI and CAG are  engaged in the  wholesale  distribution  of  interactive
software games.  To effect the  acquisition,  all of the  outstanding  shares of
common  stock of each of IMSI and CAG  were  exchanged  for  900,000  shares  of
restricted  common stock of the Company.  The acquisition has been accounted for
as a pooling of interests in  accordance  with APB No. 16 and  accordingly,  the
accompanying  financial  statements have been restated to include the results of
operations  and  financial  position of IMSI and CAG for all  periods  presented
prior to the business combination.

Risk and Uncertainties

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 dates of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  The
most  significant  estimates and  assumptions  relate to the  recoverability  of
capitalized  software  development costs,  goodwill,  allowances for returns and
income taxes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

Prepaid Royalties

Prepaid  royalties were written down $50,000 in the first quarter of 1998 to net
realizable  value.  Royalty  expense for the three months ended January 31, 1998
amounted to $1,777,086 relating primarily to the release of Wheel of Fortune and
the Monty Python series.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid  expenses  and other  current  assets  consist  primarily  of  inventory
advances  made to a vendor for the costs of  manufacturing  a  Nintendo  64 game
title that will be released in the second quarter of 1998.

Capitalized Software Development Costs (Including Film Production Costs)

Capitalized  software  costs were  written down by $272,834 for the three months
ended January 31, 1998 to net  realizable  value.  Amortization  of  capitalized
software  costs  amounted to  $1,373,107  for the three months ended January 31,
1998.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" effective  November 1,
1997. As required by SFAS No. 128, the Company has provided a reconciliation  of
basic  earnings  per  share to  dilutive  earnings  per share  within  the table
outlined below.  This statement also eliminates the  presentation of primary EPS
and requires the presentation of basic EPS (the principal  difference being that
common stock equivalents are not considered in the computation of basic EPS). It
also requires the presentation of diluted EPS which gives effect to all dilutive
potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The inclusion of the potential  effect of the conversion of dilutive  securities
that resulted from the issuance of $4,200,000  principal  amount of  convertible
promissory notes ("the Convertible  Notes") in October 1997 were included in the
Company's computation of diluted earnings per share because the options exercise
prices were lower than the average market price of the common shares.

For periods prior to the initial  public  offering,  pursuant to Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No.  83,  equity  securities,
including options and warrants, issued at prices below the public offering price
of $5.00 during the 12-month  period prior to the offering have been included in
the calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods presented, including
years  that  have  losses  where  the  impact  of  the  incremental   shares  is
anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 1997,  FASB issued SFAS No. 129,  "Disclosure  of Information  About
Capital Structure". Under SFAS No. 129, an entity shall explain, in summary form
within the  financial  statements,  the pertinent  rights and  privileges of the

3. Business Acquisitions

On December 22, 1997,  the Company  acquired  all the  outstanding  stock of L&J
Marketing Inc. d/b/a Alliance Distributors ("Alliance").  Alliance is engaged in
the wholesale  distribution of interactive  software games and videos.  Alliance
was merged into Alliance  Inventory  Management,  Inc.  ("AIM"),  a newly formed
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  IMSI.  The  total  cost  of  the  acquisition  was
$3,369,000,  consisting  of a cash  payment of  $1,500,000,  issuance of 500,000
shares of restricted  common stock valued at  $1,612,500  and issuance of 76,000
options valued at $256,500.  A Form 8-K has been filed on December 24, 1997 with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission in connection with the acquisition.  The
allocation of the cost of the acquisition, financial statements of Alliance, and
unaudited pro forma information will be filed by amendment within 60 days of the
date the Form 8-K was filed.

The acquisition described above has been accounted for as a purchase transaction
in accordance  with APB No. 16 and  accordingly,  the results of operations  and
financial position of the acquisition is included in the Company's  consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Safe Harbor Statement under the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform
Act of 1995: The statements  contained herein which are not historical facts are
forward looking statements that involve risks and  uncertainties,  including but
not limited to, risks  associated with the Company's future growth and operating
results, the ability of the Company to successfully integrate the businesses and
personnel of newly acquired entities into its operations,  the shift in business
focus from software  development  to  publishing  and  distribution,  changes in
consumer   preferences  and  demographics,   technological   change,   inventory
obsolescence,  competitive factors and unfavorable general economic  conditions.
Actual results may vary significantly from such forward looking statements.


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended  January 31, 1997  Compared to Three Months Ended January 31,
1998

Net sales  increased by  $15,936,387,  or 259.9%,  from $6,132,050 for the three
months ended January 31, 1997 to $22,068,437  for the three months ended January
31, 1998.  This growth in net sales was  primarily  due to the  distribution  of
Wheel of Fortune for the Nintendo 64 platform and the TTE and AIM acquisitions.

Cost of sales increased by $12,005,670, or 403.4%, from $2,975,966 for the three
months ended January 31, 1997 to $14,981,636  for the three months ended January
31, 1998.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 67.9% for the
three  months  ended  January  31,  1998 from 48.5% for the three  months  ended
January 31, 1997.  The increase in both absolute  dollars and as a percentage of
net sales is  primarily  attributable  to the higher unit cost of  manufacturing
Nintendo 64 products such as Wheel of Fortune,  AIM's lower margin  distribution
operations  and the  write-off  of $322,834 of  capitalized  software  costs and
prepaid  royalties in excess of their net realizable  value.  In future periods,
cost of sales may be adversely  affected by manufacturing and other costs, price
competition  and by changes in the mix of products  and  distribution  channels.
Nintendo  64  products  which are  cartridge  based have a much  higher cost and
typically achieve lower gross margin than the Company's PC CD-ROM products.

Research and development  costs increased by $166,677,  or 58.0%,  from $287,571
for the three  months  ended  January 31, 1997 to $454,248  for the three months
ended  January  31,  1998.  This  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to  the
acquisition of ART, a software developer, in July 1997. Research and development
costs as a percentage of net sales  decreased to 2.1% for the three months ended
January 31, 1998 from 4.7% for the three  months ended  January 31,  1997.  This
decrease is attributable to the increase in net sales.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $758,110,  or 48.3%, from $1,569,969
for the three months ended January 31, 1997 to  $2,328,079  for the three months
ended  January  31,  1998.  The  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to  the
acquisition  of TTE's and AIM's  distribution  operations,  which  accounted for
$415,363 of the increase and sales commissions and market  development  expenses
incurred in 

<PAGE>

connection  with the  distribution  of Wheel of  Fortune  and the  Monty  Python
series. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to
10.5% for the three  months  ended  January  31,  1998 from  25.6% for the three
months ended January 31, 1997.  This decrease is attributable to the increase in
net sales. The Company  anticipates  that future selling and marketing  expenses
will  increase as a result of the newly  acquired  operations of TTE and AIM, as
well  as  increased  marketing  expenses  associated  with  future  Nintendo  64
products.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased  by $983,595,  or 172.4%,  from
$570,643 for the three months ended January 31, 1997 to $1,554,238 for the three
months  ended  January 31, 1998.  This  increase is  primarily  attributable  to
salaries,  rent,  insurance  premiums and professional  fees associated with the
Company's expanded operations. Also, general and administrative expenses for the
three  months ended  January 31, 1998  included  $184,653 of deferred  financing
costs in  connection  with the  Convertible  Notes.  General and  administrative
expenses as a  percentage  of net sales  decreased  to 7.0% for the three months
ended  January 31, 1998 from 9.3% for the three months  ended  January 31, 1997.
This decrease is attributable to the increase in net sales.

Depreciation and amortization  expense  increased by $181,176,  or 116.2%,  from
$155,959 for the three  months ended  January 31, 1997 to $337,135 for the three
months ended January 31, 1998.  Amortization of intangible  assets that resulted
from the TTE and AIM acquisitions accounted for $118,657 of this increase.

Interest expense increased by $846,342,  or 297.2%,  from $284,787 for the three
months ended January 31, 1997 to  $1,131,129  for the three months ended January
31, 1998. The increase  resulted  primarily from the issuance of the Convertible
Notes.

Income taxes increased by $25,992,  or 173.4%, from $14,991 for the three months
ended  January 31, 1997 to $40,983 for the three months ended  January 31, 1998.
The increase resulted primarily from the accrual of state income taxes.

As a result of the foregoing,  the Company achieved net income of $1,240,989 for
the three months ended  January 31, 1998,  as compared to net income of $272,164
for the three months ended January 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  primary capital  requirements have been and will continue to
be to fund the acquisition,  development,  manufacture and  commercialization of
its software  products.  The Company has  historically  financed its  operations
through  advances  made  by  distributors,  the  issuance  of  debt  and  equity
securities  and bank  borrowings.  At January 31, 1998,  the Company had working
capital of  $958,299 as  compared  to a working  capital  deficit of $911,105 at
January 31, 1997.

     Net cash  provided  by  operating  activities  for the three  months  ended
January 31, 1998 was  $2,474,684  as compared to $559,514  for the three  months
ended January 31, 1997. The increase was primarily  attributable  to an increase
in the  profitability  after  adjustments for non-cash  items.  Net cash used in
investing  activities for the three months ended January 3l, 1998 was $1,216,543
as compared to net cash

<PAGE>

provided by investing  activities  of $40,743 for the three months ended January
31, 1997. The increase in net cash used in investing was primarily  attributable
to the AIM  acquisition.  Net cash used in  financing  activities  for the three
months  ended  January 31, 1998 was  $2,043,317  as compared to $441,109 for the
three months ended  January 31, 1997.  The increase was  primarily the result of
the repayment of a portion of the Convertible Notes and other bank indebtedness.
At January 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalent of $1,087,321.

     In September 1996, the Company  consummated a private placement pursuant to
which it issued (i) $2,088,539  principal amount of the 1996 Notes and (ii) five
year warrants to purchase 417,234 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$.01 per share.  Of such  indebtedness,  $523,320  principal  amount of the 1996
Notes bears  interest  at an annual rate of 2% above the prime rate  established
from time to time by Chase Manhattan Bank N.A. and was payable on June 30, 1997.
As of January 31,  1998,  $129,524  principal  amount of such  indebtedness  was
outstanding.

     In December 1995, the Company  entered into a loan agreement with Citibank,
N.A. ("Citibank") which provides for borrowings under a revolving line of credit
of up to $250,000. Interest accrues on advances at 9.5% per annum and is payable
monthly.  The  line  of  credit  is  repayable  in  twenty  four  equal  monthly
installments  in the event  Citibank  terminates  the Company's  right to obtain
future loans. At January 31, 1998,  $246,997 was  outstanding  under the line of
credit.  Substantially  all of the  Company's  assets are pledged to Citibank as
collateral  and the  repayment of advances is  personally  guaranteed by Ryan A.
Brant, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

     In connection with the Mission acquisition,  in September 1996, the Company
issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $337,750 bearing interest at
the rate of 6% per  annum,  payable  in equal  monthly  installments  of $10,224
through  September  1999.  The  Company  also  issued a  promissory  note in the
principal amount of $330,000, of which $130,000 has been paid to date. Repayment
of the  remaining  $200,000  is  contingent  upon the  inclusion  of a  specific
software  engine in  shipments  of  JetFighter  IV. The  Company has pledged the
Mission stock as collateral for the repayment of such notes.

     In connection with the purchase of TTE, ART and certain software games, the
Company issued an unsecured  promissory note to GameTek FL's secured creditor in
the amount of $500,000  payable in two equal annual  installments of $250,000 on
July 28,  1998 and July 29,  1999,  bearing  interest at a rate of 8% per annum,
payable quarterly.

     In December 1996,  TTE entered into a line of credit  agreement (as amended
in September  1997) with  Barclay's  Bank which provides for borrowings of up to
approximately  400,000 pounds  sterling  ($670,000).  Advances under the line of
credit bear interest at the rate of 2% over  Barclay's base rate per annum (9.0%
as of January 31, 1998),  payable  quarterly.  Borrowings are  collateralized by
TTE's  receivables  which  must  at all  times  be at  least  twice  the  amount
outstanding on the line of credit and are guaranteed by the Company. The line of
credit is cancellable and repayable upon demand. The available credit under this
facility is approximately $34,000 at January 31, 1998.

     Pursuant to a Securities  Purchase  Agreement,  dated October 14, 1997, the
Company  issued   Convertible  Notes  in  the  aggregate   principal  amount  of
$4,200,000,  which bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. As of January 31,
1998, the aggregate principal amount outstanding on these notes was

<PAGE>

$2,117,666.  The  Convertible  Notes  are  collateralized  by a  first  priority
security  interest in letters of credit issued in respect of purchase orders for
Wheel of Fortune and  Jeopardy!  products  designed for the Nintendo 64 platform
(the  "Products").  The  Convertible  Notes  mature on September  30, 1999.  The
Company is required  to repay the  Convertible  Notes  prior to  maturity  under
certain circumstances, including in the event of a change of control, a transfer
of all or substantially  all of the Company's  assets, a merger or consolidation
of the Company,  the issuance of securities  exceeding the Conversion  Limit (if
shareholder  approval  has not been  obtained)  or the failure of the Company to
fulfill certain securities  registration  obligations.  Convertible Notes repaid
after February 28, 1998 are repayable at a premium. In addition,  the Company is
required  to prepay the  Convertible  Notes  through  payments  and  collections
(including draws under letters of credit) from the sale of the Products received
by the Company  after  December  31,  1997.  The Company  also agreed to certain
covenants,  including  limitations  on the issuance of  securities,  mergers and
acquisitions,  incurrence  of  indebtedness,  liens,  the payment of  dividends,
capital  expenditures and minimum levels of net worth.  The Company  anticipates
that the Convertible  Notes will be repaid by letters of credit from the sale of
Jeopardy.

     In  December  1997,  IMSI and AIM entered  into a revolving  line of credit
agreement  with  NationsBank,  N.A.  which  provides  for  borrowings  of  up to
$5,000,000.  Advances under the line of credit are based on a borrowing  formula
equal  to the  lesser  of (i)  $5,000,000  or  (ii)  80%  of  eligible  accounts
receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory.  Interest accrues on such advances at
a rate of .75% over NationsBank's  prime rate (9.25% as of January 31, 1998) and
is payable monthly. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by a lien on
accounts  receivable  and  inventory of IMSI and AIM and are  guaranteed  by the
Company. The loan agreement limits or prohibits IMSI and AIM, subject to certain
exceptions,  from declaring or paying cash dividends,  merging or  consolidating
with another  corporation,  selling assets (other than in the ordinary course of
business),  creating liens and incurring additional indebtedness.  The available
credit under this facility is  approximately  $117,000 at January 31, 1998.  The
line of  credit  expires  on May 31,  1998.  AIM  also has an  arrangement  with
Nationscredit  Commercial  Corporation  of America,  an affiliate of NationsBank
("Nationscredit"),  whereby  Nationscredit  advances  funds for the  purchase of
Nintendo  hardware and software  products and then bills AIM for amounts owed. A
security agreement between AIM and Nationscredit grants Nationscredit a security
interest in certain  inventory  and requires  AIM to maintain a minimum  working
capital  and  tangible  net worth.  The Company  has  guaranteed  the payment of
amounts owed to Nationscredit.

     The Company's accounts  receivable at January 31, 1998 were $7,226,898.  As
of January 31, 1998, the receivable  balance from one  distributor,  amounted to
approximately 35% of the Company's net accounts  receivable  balance.  Delays in
collection or uncollectibility of accounts receivable could adversely affect the
Company's  working  capital  position.  The Company is subject to credit  risks,
particularly  in the  event  that any of its  receivables  represent  sales to a
limited  number of  retailers or  distributors  or are  concentrated  in foreign
markets.

     Pursuant to its agreement with a former distributor, the Company has agreed
to make scheduled  payments in the aggregate  amount of $1,412,000  ($832,000 of
which has been repaid) as  reimbursement  for advances  previously  made by such
distributor.

     Based on plans and  assumptions  relating  to its  operations,  the Company
believes that projected  cash flow from  operations and available cash resources
will be  sufficient  to  satisfy  its  contemplated  cash 

<PAGE>

requirements for the reasonably  foreseeable  future.  To the extent the Company
continues  to  implement  its  expansion  plans,  the Company may seek to obtain
additional   financing.   Nonrenewal  of  the  Company's  line  of  credit  with
NationsBank could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and require
the Company to seek to obtain  additional  financing.  There can be no assurance
that  projected  cash flow from  operations and available cash resources will be
sufficient to fund the Company's operations or that additional financing will be
available to the Company, if required.


Fluctuations in Operating Results and Seasonality

     The Company's operating results vary significantly from period to period as
a result of  purchasing  patterns  of  potential  customers,  the  timing of new
product  introductions  by the Company  and its  competitors,  product  returns,
marketing and research and development  expenditures  and pricing.  Sales of the
Company's products are seasonal, with peak product shipments typically occurring
in the fourth calendar quarter (the Company's first fiscal  quarter),  depending
upon the  timing of  product  releases,  as a result  of  increased  demand  for
products during the year end holiday season.


International Trade

Product sales in international  markets,  primarily in the United Kingdom, other
countries  in Europe and the  Pacific  Rim,  have  accounted  for a  significant
portion of the Company's  revenues.  The Company is subject to risks inherent in
foreign  trade,  including  increased  credit  risks,  fluctuations  in  foreign
currency exchange rates, shipping delays and international political, regulatory
and economic  developments,  all of which could have a significant impact on the
Company.  Product  sales  by TTE  in  France  and  Germany  are  made  in  local
currencies.   The  Company   does  not  engage  in  foreign   currency   hedging
transactions.


Year 2000 Issue

         The  Company  has  assessed  the  potential   issues   associated  with
programming  codes in its existing  computer systems with respect to a two-digit
year value for the year 2000 and believes that  addressing  such issues is not a
material event or uncertainty  that would cause reported  financial  information
not to be indicative of future  operating  results or financial  condition.  The
Company is currently upgrading its accounting software.
