NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 1996.
The consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared from the books
and records of the Company without audit or verification. In the opinion of
management all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for all the periods presented have been made. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted.
The results of operations for the three month period ended October 31, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal
year. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.
2. LONG TERM DEBT
In May 1996, the Company obtained a new 2 year credit agreement (the
"Revolving Credit Facility"), which includes a $3,000,000 stand-by letter of
credit facility, both of which expire in May 1998. Under the Company's new
Revolving Credit Facility, it may borrow up to the lesser of (a) $15,000,000
or (b) 60% of the Company's eligible inventory (as defined in the "Revolving
Credit Facility"). A commitment fee of 3/8% of the unused portion is payable
monthly. There were no borrowings under the stand-by letter of credit during
the first quarter of 1997.
The Revolving Credit Facility and all of the Company's obligations in
connection therewith are secured by a first-priority security interest in
substantially all of the Company's assets, and the Company may not further
pledge its assets without the prior approval of its lender. The Company is
also required to meet certain monthly financial covenants, including minimum
earnings, current ratio, fixed charge coverage and tangible net worth
levels. In addition, the Company may not exceed certain capital expenditures
and inventory costs levels.
The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate, adjusted
monthly, equal to the Index Rate (as defined below) plus 2.875%. The "Index
Rate" is the last month-end published rate for 30-day dealer-placed
commercial paper sold through dealers by major corporations as published in
the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal. Accrued interest is
payable monthly in arrears. The interest rate at October 31, 1996 was
8.255%.
The outstanding principal amount under the Revolving Credit Facility was
approximately $9.6 million as of October 31, 1996.

Supplemental noncash financing activities information:
During the three months ended October 31, 1996, no Restricted Stock
Awards were granted and awards totaling $5,325 were canceled. During
the three months ended October 31, 1995, no Restricted Stock Awards
were granted and $14,400 were canceled.
The Company contributed $14,615 and $2,272 in common stock to the
Company's 401(k) Plan during the three months ended October 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
4. LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share is computed based on losses for each period, divided by
the weighted average number of common shares and equivalents
outstanding during each period. Stock options have been excluded from
the loss per share computations for both years as they were
antidilutive to the calculation.
5. ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED
ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF:
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" which establishes accounting
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used
and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be held and used by a company are required to be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Measurement of
an impairment loss for such long-lived assets and identifiable
intangibles to be disposed of are required to be reported generally at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell.
Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 has no
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
6. STORE CLOSING RESERVE
In July 1996, the Company adopted a plan as part of its response to
industry conditions to close four unprofitable store locations. As a
result of the planned closing of the store

locations, the Company has recorded a charge of approximately
$3,251,000 ($2,045,000 after income tax benefits) representing lease
termination costs, write-down of assets, rent expense, and other
miscellaneous expenses. These store locations are expected to be closed
during fiscal 1997. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the
Company closed three of the four stores that were reserved for. The
outstanding reserve balance was $2,352,000 as of October 31, 1996.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is an analysis of the Company 's results of operations, liquidity
and capital resources. To the extent that such analysis contains statements
which are not of a historical nature, such statements are forward-looking
statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These risks include changes
in the competitive environment for the Company's products, including the entry
or exit of nontraditional retailers of the Company's products to or from its
markets; the release by the music industry of an increased or decreased number
of "hit releases"; unfavorable developments with respect to a lease; general
economic factors in markets where the Company's products are sold; and other
factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
REVENUES
Total revenues decreased by $2,184,000 or 12.2% during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996. As of the 1997 first
fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1996, the Company operated 10 fewer stores than
in the first fiscal quarter of 1996. On a samestore basis (stores open for more
than one year), revenues decreased by 3.1% over last year.
Revenues from product sales decreased by 11.5% for the Company as a whole and
decreased by 2.7% on a same-store basis. Revenues declined because increased
unit sales of compact discs were more than offset by decreased unit sales of
cassettes and video product. Samestore revenues declined primarily because of
fewer new hit release titles which contribute not only to greater sales but to
greater in-store traffic. In addition, the Company has seen significant
expansion of competitive music retail space by non-traditional music retailers,
which often sell compact discs near or at cost in certain markets, which
contributed to same-store sales declines.
Video rental revenue decreased by 36.3% for the Company as a whole and by 21.3%
on a samestore basis as compared to the first quarter in fiscal 1996. The
Company maintains video rental departments in limited stores based on customer
demand and has not aggressively promoted this business. Since the first quarter
of fiscal 1996, the Company closed three and opened one video rental department.
The Company plans to continue to review and adjust its prices and focus its
marketing and advertising campaign to differentiate itself from price oriented
mass merchants and discount electronics stores. Nevertheless, the Company is
likely to continue to experience revenue declines due to non-traditional
retailers' price slashing. In addition, revenues are expected to decline after
the closure of the Coconut Grove mega store during the 1997 fiscal year.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profits from product sales, which are net of product management and
distribution costs, were 33.9% and 32.8% during the first quarters of fiscal
1997 and 1996, respectively. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, increased
because of fewer promotional markdowns and an increase in sales of higher margin
accessory items.
-9-
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED
Gross profits from video rentals were 54.1% and 57.4% during the first quarters
of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. Some fluctuation in gross profit margins
may be expected due to the fixed nature of the video rental inventory being
amortized on an accelerated method over a three year period.
Total gross profits were 34.3% and 33.4% of revenue during the first quarters of
fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in gross profit from product
sales was partially offset by a decrease in gross profits from video rentals.
Some fluctuation in gross profit margins may be expected due in part to the many
factors that affect the Company's purchases for sale and in part to the
Company's promotional strategies.
STORE OPERATING GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Store operating, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of
revenue, were 40.8% and 41.3% during the first quarters of fiscal 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Store occupancy costs, as a percentage of revenue decreased
primarily because of the closing of under performing stores. As of the 1997
first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1996, the Company operated 10 fewer
stores than in the first fiscal quarter of 1996.
INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME
The Company incurred interest expense of $246,000 and $213,000 during the first
quarters of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase is due to a higher
interest rate on the company's Revolving Credit Facility combined with the
amortization of deferred financing costs which were partially offset by lower
average borrowings for the quarter.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate, as a percentage of earnings before income taxes,
was 37.0% and 38.0% during the first quarters of fiscal 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The effective income tax rate did not vary significantly from the
first quarter in the prior fiscal year.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS)
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company incurred a loss of
($821,000) or ($.16) per share, compared to a loss of ($1,005,000) or ($.19) per
share, during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The net loss declined because of
the improvement in margins combined with a reduction in operating costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of October 31, 1996, the Company's working capital remained consistent at
$10.7 million compared to $10.8 million at July 31, 1996.
Cash flows from operating activities used $229,000, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, compared to providing $1.8 million in fiscal 1996. The primary
reason for the change in cash flows from operating activities relate to the
inventory reductions in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, obtained from
just-in-time buying practices.
-10-
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED
Cash flow used in investing activities decreased from $2.6 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 to $23,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The
primary reason for the change in cash flows from investing activities relate to
fewer additions to property and equipment in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
At October 31, 1996, the Company had a $15 million secured Revolving Credit
Agreement, expiring May 1998, which includes a $3,000,000 stand-by letter of
credit facility. Under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow up
to the lesser of (a) $15,000,000 or (b) 60 % of the Company's eligible inventory
(as defined in the credit agreement). At October 31, 1996, the Company had an
outstanding balance of $9,566,189 under the Revolving Credit Agreement. There
were no borrowings under the stand-by letter of credit during the first quarter
of fiscal 1997.
The Company is a specialty retailer in Florida and Puerto Rico of prerecorded
music and video products and is also engaged in the rental of video tapes. This
industry has experienced increased competition during the past few years, which
coupled with other business related factors, has negatively impacted the
Company's performance. The Company anticipates the competitive conditions will
continue into the foreseeable future. The Company's return to profitable
operations and continuity into the future is dependent upon various factors
including improving sales and profit margins, reducing expenses, and eliminating
unprofitable stores. Management believes that its cash flow from operations and
availability under its existing credit agreement should be adequate to cover the
Company's projected cash requirements during the year ending July 31, 1997.
Operating results are however, subject to various uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company's
future profitability or the lack thereof, could have a substantial impact on its
liquidity, its ability to meet its debt covenants, and its availability of
capital resources necessary to conduct its business.
