Note 1                    Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

Interim condensed financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles are omitted.  For additional disclosures, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in QRS Music Technologies, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004.

In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the year.

Note 2              Inventories

Inventories at March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004 consisted of:

Note 3              Dividends in arrears

Dividends in arrears on the Series A preferred stock amounted to $128,384 at March 31, 2005.

Note 4              Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings per Share.”  Basic net earnings less preferred dividends are divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year to calculate basic net earnings per common share.  Diluted net earnings per common share are calculated to give effect to the potential dilution that could occur if convertible preferred stock, warrants, options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and resulted in the issuance of additional common shares.

The computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, was as follows:

7

The computation of basic and diluted EPS for the nine months ended March 31, was as follows:

In 2005 and 2004, 534,925 weighted average common shares from the conversion of convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation because they were antidilutive.

Note 5        Note Payable – Stockholder

On September 15, 2004, the Company’s majority stockholder advanced the Company $500,000,    Such advance was evidenced by an unsecured demand note bearing interest at 6% per annum.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2005, the interest expense related to the loan was $16,192.

Note 6 Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance, or if not so covered, are without merit or are of such kind or involve such amounts that unfavorable disposition would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

On August 20, 2003 a default judgment in the amount of approximately $478,000 was entered against the Company in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Ohio, Western Division. The default judgment was granted to Dwight’s Piano Co (formerly known as Baldwin Piano & Organ Company and subsidiaries, a former customer of the Company) and was based upon claims that preferential transfers were made to the Company during the 90 day period prior to Baldwin’s bankruptcy filing on May 31, 2001. Because a judgment was entered against the Company by the Court, the entire amount of the judgment was accrued as of June 30, 2003. The Company filed a motion seeking vacation of the judgment and raised several defenses available to it under the Bankruptcy Code.  On January 3, 2005 the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Ohio, Western Division, approved a negotiated settlement agreement between the Company and Dwight’s Piano Co.  The negotiated settlement agreement reduced the Company’s preference liability to $61,395.  Upon the consummation of the settlement, the United States Bankruptcy Court immediately entered an Order vacating the default judgment entered, and subsequently dismissed the litigation initiated by Dwight’s Piano Co. against the Company, with prejudice.  As a result of the negotiated settlement, for the

8

quarter ending March 31, 2005 the Company recognized income of $416,206, reflected as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Item 2.                Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

Certain statements in this Form 10-QSB constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Registrant to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Such factors include, among others, the following: the effects of the changes in Homeland Security policies, specifically relating to the effects on international and domestic transportation of goods, the state of the economy; the financial condition of major OEM’s such as Baldwin Piano Co. and Young Chang Pianos; competition; seasonality; success of operating initiatives; new product development and introduction schedules; acceptance of new product offerings; advertising and promotional efforts; adverse publicity; changes in business strategy or development plans; availability and terms of capital; labor and employee benefit costs; changes in government regulations; uncertainty regarding economic recovery of the United States and international economies in general and consumer spending in particular, and other factors particular to Registrant.

GENERAL.

The Registrant’s fiscal year ends each June 30, and the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, June 30, 2005 are referred to as “ fiscal 2004”, “fiscal 2005”, respectively.

Registrant is a Delaware Corporation and is a manufacturer and distributor of pianos, pianomation units, and compact discs and music rolls for use in player pianos.  Registrant sells its products to dealers and end-users, predominately in the United States and has divisions in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and Nevada.

Recently the Regristrant began renting space in Sydney, Australia with the purpose of opening a sales office to begin distribution of products to Australia.  Registrant also began leasing space in China for the purpose of distributing product, and certain administrative duties.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004.

SALES.  Total sales decreased 4.7% from $4.5 million in the third three months of fiscal 2004 to $4.3 million in the third three months of fiscal 2005.  A decrease in the sales of pianos, accounted for the decrease.

COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Total cost of sales decreased 4.4 % from $2.7 million in the third three months of fiscal 2004 to $2.6 million in the third three months of fiscal 2005.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased less than one percentage point as a result of the mix of products that were sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 53.4% from $981,000 in fiscal 2004 to $457,000 in fiscal 2005. The decrease is a result of the reversal of a previous charge associated with the Baldwin preference action, decreased promotional expenses and a decrease in an officers bonus recognized this quarter, offset by increases in legal and accounting and increased commissions.

Research and development expenses increased 271% from $63,000 to $234,000 for the three months as a result of several projects nearing completion of the design phase and being ready for manufacture and distribution.   One large project also successfully moved into the next development phase as milestones were completed in the initial phase.

9

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  Net interest expense increased 78.1% from $6,000 in the third three months of fiscal 2004 to $10,600 in the third three months of fiscal 2005.  The increase is due to the additional interest being paid on a loan to the majority shareholder.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.   Registrant accrued a provision for federal and state income taxes at an effective rate of 38% for both periods.

NET INCOME.  Net income increased 32.4% from $475,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 to $630,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 as a result of the above mentioned variances.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004.

SALES.  Total sales increased 9.1% from $14.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 to $16 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005.  Increased sales of technology related products which included the Pianomation player systems, accounted for the increase.

COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Total cost of sales increased 11.7 % from $9.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 to $10.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased 1.5 percentage points as a result of the mix of products that were sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9.1% from $2.22 million in fiscal 2004 to $2.43 million in fiscal 2005. The increase is a result of additional advertising expenses, increased commissions and selling expenses due to increased sales, an increase in shipping and delivery costs as a result of the rising transportation costs, increased legal and accounting expenses, and increased office expenses related to establishing new offices in Hong Kong and Australia and the funding of a profit share plan on behalf of the company employees, and an increase in accrued tax expense, offset by a decrease in bonuses paid to the officers, relative to last year, and a reversal of a previous charge associated with the Baldwin preference action.

Research and development expenses increased 87% from $231,000 to $431,000 for the nine months as a result of several projects during the third quarter nearing completion of the design phase and being ready for manufacture and distribution.   One large project also successfully moved into the next development phase during the third quarter as milestones were completed in the initial phase.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  Net interest expense increased 30.3% from $19,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2004 to $25,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2005.  The increase is due to the interest being paid on a loan from the majority shareholder.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.   Registrant accrued a provision for federal and state income taxes at an effective rate of 38% for both periods.

NET INCOME.  Net income decreased 8.1% from $1.66 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2004 to $1.52 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2005 as a result of the above mentioned variances.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

The primary sources of Registrant’s cash are net cash flows from operating activities and short-term vendor financing.  Currently, Registrant does not have available any established lines of credit with banking facilities.

Registrant’s cash was $518,000 and $1.6 million  at March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.  Cash decreased from June 30, 2004 to March 31, 2005 primarily as a result of an increase in inventory and accounts receivable, offset

10

by net income, and proceeds received from a note payable to a stockholder.

As of May 15, 2002 the Registrant owed approximately $919,000 to a lending institution pursuant to a note due May 2002.  Registrant refinanced the debt  prior to the due date.  The new note, payable in monthly installments of $13,751, plus accrued interest at the prime rate (4.75% at March 31, 2005) and due in May 2007, requires the Registrant to satisfy certain financial covenants concerning tangible capital funds and debt coverage ratio.  As of the date hereof , the Registrant is in compliance with these covenants.

Registrant believes its current available cash position, coupled with its cash forecast for the year and periods beyond, is sufficient to meet its cash needs on both a short-term and long-term basis.  There are no major capital expenditures planned in the foreseeable future, nor any payments planned for off-balance sheet obligations.  Registrant’s management is not aware of any known trends or demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties, as they relate to liquidity which could negatively affect Registrant’s ability to operate and grow as planned.

Item 3.                Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004 the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer learned of instances of insufficiencies in certain disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003 and for the first three quarters of fiscal 2004.  As a result, an evaluation was performed of the involved disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and there was found to be a significant deficiency, and necessary improvements needed to be made to ensure these deficiencies would not be repeated.  The matter was discussed with the audit committee, the independent auditors, corporate counsel and the Board of Directors.  The correction of the deficiency was assigned the highest priority, and action has been taken to correct it.

As a result of the evaluation the following conclusions were reached:

There was no fraud affecting the Company’s financial statements.

Corrective action is being taken to address and remedy the deficiency.

Discussed below is specific information regarding the disclosure controls and procedures deficiency and the internal control deficiencies and the corresponding corrective actions as implemented through May 19, 2004.

In the 3rd quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, the Company discovered that a default judgment in the amount of approximately $478,000 plus interest had been entered against it in United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Ohio, Western Division.  Due to a gap in the disclosure controls and procedures system the receipt of process was not handled in an appropriate manner, and did not come to the attention of management or counsel within the appropriate time to be properly reviewed and assessed for effect on the Company’s financial statements and action necessary for proper disclosure. Management has reviewed its procedures and taken appropriate actions to ensure these matters will be handled in the appropriate manner.   The company has appointed its current registered agent in the State of Delaware to act as registered agent in all states where the Company has offices. The Company intends to instruct the registered agent that copies of all receipts of process are to be sent to the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, corporate counsel and chairman of the board.   Such matters that materially affect the Company’s financial position will be immediately brought to the attention of the audit committee, who will in turn prepare a separate analysis of the impact on the Company’s financial reporting.  It has also been determined that the audit committee will meet on a more frequent basis.   As a regular course of business at all Board meetings the audit committee will review with the Board of Directors any outstanding issues.   If the audit committee believes an item of a significant nature has arisen, it will immediately request a special Board Meeting to review the circumstances.

The Company is currently in the process of changing their internal communication and computer system in order to continue to address ongoing changing regulations and past deficiencies.  With the deployment of the new communication and computer system new procedures and process flows are also being developed and refined to further insure the accuracy and timeless of all reporting.

11

In addition to internal improvements, the company is also taking steps to increase the size and makeup of their Board of Directors.   Such changes are planned to take effect by the end of the fourth quarter.

The Company is committed to ongoing periodic reviews of its controls and their effectiveness. Controls have improved and management has no reason to believe that the financial statements included in this report are not fairly stated in all material respects.  Management believes its practices and procedures, although not as mature or as formal as management intends them to be in the future, are adequate under the circumstances, and that there are no material inaccuracies or omissions in this Form
