We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of L & J Marketing,  Inc. D/B/A
Alliance  Distributors  as of  December  31,  1996  and  1995  and  the  related
statements  of income and retained  earnings,  and cash flows for the years then
ended.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of L & J Marketing,  Inc. D/B/A
Alliance  Distributors  as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations  and its cash  flows  for the years  then  ended in  conformity  with

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. L & J MARKETING, INC. D/B/A ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 1. Nature of business: The Company, located in New York, is a distributor of home entertainment and consumer electronic products. The Company grants credit primarily to retailers in the New York metropolitan area. 2. Significant accounting policies: a. Inventory: Inventory, consisting of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. b. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciation is computed by various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. c. Income taxes: The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to have its Federal and State income taxed as an S corporation, which provides that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for Federal income taxes is reflected in these financial statements. New York State and New Jersey impose a minimum tax on S corporations based upon the maximum personal rate and the differential it would have paid if it were a C corporation; accordingly, any material provision for state income taxes is reflected in the financial statements. Provision for New York City income taxes is based on statutory rates. d. Cash: The Company maintains its cash accounts in two commercial banks located in New York. The cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000 at each bank. e. Estimates: 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. f. Advertising costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were approximately $92,000 and $106,000, respectively. 3. Property and equipment: 1996 1995 -------- -------- Auto and trucks $ 42,278 $ 42,278 Furniture and fixtures 90,258 87,481 Computer equipment 69,784 57,011 Leasehold improvements 53,652 49,802 -------- -------- 255,972 236,572 Less accumulated depreciation 150,423 116,968 -------- -------- $105,549 $119,604 ======== ======== 4. Note and acceptances payable, bank: The Company currently has available a $5,000,000 line of credit with a bank maturing June 30, 1997. Interest on direct borrowings is charged at 1% over prime. The Company has pledged, as collateral, all Company assets, as defined, in addition to personal guarantees of the stockholders. The line of credit agreement includes covenants which require the Company to maintain, among other things, certain working capital and net worth relationships. The Company is in compliance with all of the loan covenants as of December 31, 1996. 5. Pension plan: The Company has a profit-sharing plan which covers all employees who meet the eligibility requirements based on age and years of service. Contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of the Company's principals. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, pension expense was $0 and $34,810, respectively. 6. Commitment and contingency: a. The Company is obligated to make minimum rental payments under operating leases for showroom, office and warehouse space as follows: Years ending December 31, 1997 $ 96,000 1998 96,000 1999 96,000 2000 96,000 2001 56,000 The leases provide for payment of real estate taxes and other operating expenses. Rent and occupancy expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $96,000 and $102,000, respectively. b. The Company is contingently liable for a letter of credit for approximately $228,000 expiring April 30, 1997. 7. Major supplier: For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company purchased approximately 24% of its merchandise from one supplier. Included in accounts payable at December 31, 1996 was approximately $1,439,000 due to this supplier. The Company purchased approximately 12% of its merchandise from a different supplier during 1995 and the amount due on these purchases was approximately $282,000 at December 31, 1995. Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations, for the year ended October 31, 1997, including the note thereto, give effect to the acquisitions of GameTek (UK) Limited ("GameTek"), Alternative Reality Technologies, Inc. ("ART"), Inventory Management Systems Inc. ("IMSI"), Creative Alliance Group, Inc. ("CAG"), and L & J Marketing, Inc. D/B/A Alliance Distributors ("Alliance"), by Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as if the acquisitions had occurred as of November 1, 1996. 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 Company's financial statements for the year ended October 31, 1997, have been restated to include the results of operations of IMSI and CAG. All other acquisitions were accounted for under purchase accounting. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses are adjusted from their historical amount to their estimated fair value. Purchase accounting adjustments have been preliminarily estimated by the Company's management based upon available information and are believed by management to be reasonable. There can be no assurance, however, that the final purchase accounting adjustments that will ultimately be determined by the Company's management will not differ from these estimates. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 1997 has been prepared based on the audited historical consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the year ended October 31, 1997 which includes Take-Two, Mission, IMSI, CAG and GameTek/ART from July 29, 1997, the date of its acquisition; the unaudited historical statement of operations of GameTek for the period from November 1, 1996 to July 28, 1997; the historical statement of operations for ART, prior to its acquisition, is immaterial and has not been included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations; and the unaudited historical statement of operations of Alliance for the period from October 1, 1996 to September 30, 1997. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information presented for informational purposes only, is not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations of the Company that would have been reported if the acquisitions of GameTek, IMSI, CAG, and Alliance had occurred as of November 1, 1996, nor does such information purport to indicate results of future operations or financial condition. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly such pro forma financial information have been made to the financial statements, and are reflected in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and with the financial statements included in this filing.
