Item 2.

Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 1, 2003, Video City, Inc. (the “Company”) sold twelve of its retail video stores to M.G. Midwest, Inc., an affiliate of Movie Gallery, Inc. (collectively, “Movie Gallery”).  The sale of the twelve stores was made pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2003, by and between the Company and Movie Gallery (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.  The twelve stores sold represented all of the remaining retail video stores of the Company other than the two stores located in Ventura, California.  The aggregate purchase price for the twelve sold stores consisted of cash in the amount of $3,250,000, and was determined as a result of arms-length negotiations between the Company and Movie Gallery.  $50,000 of the purchase price was held back by Movie Gallery, pending the determination by Movie Gallery, on or before December 31, 2003, that there are no outstanding claims or liabilities related to the assets sold.   

At the time of the sale there were no material relationships between the Company and Movie Gallery or any of its shareholders or affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, any of the Company’s affiliates, any director or officer of the Company or any associate of any such director or officer, on the other hand.

In addition on October 10, 2003, the Company sold one of its stores located in Ventura, California to an entity controlled by Timothy L. Ford.  The purchase price for such sale was $180,000, consisting of a promissory note issued by such entity in the amount of $157,083 and the assumption by such entity of certain of the Company’s accounts payable to a product supplier in the amount of $22,917.  The purchase price offered by the entity controlled by Mr. Ford was the highest bid offered by any party, and constituted a multiple of cash flow of approximately 5X.  The transaction between the Company and the entity controlled by Mr. Ford took place as a result of arm’s length negotiations between the Company and such entity.  Mr. Ford resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company on October 9, 2003.  The Company closed the other Ventura, California store and sold the inventory for such store.     

In November 2002, the Company had sold 19 of its retail video stores, then representing all stores owned by the Company outside of California, to Movie Gallery.  In May 2003, the Company had sold two its retail video stores, located in Salinas and San Francisco, California to Movie Gallery.

After the sales described above, the Company does not own any operating assets, and is currently exploring all possibilities regarding future plans for its business, if any.

The foregoing description of the terms of the asset purchase agreements does not purport to be complete statements of the parties' rights and obligations thereunder, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable asset purchase agreements.

Item 5.

Patino resigned as the Chief Financial Officer and a member of the board of directors of the Company.  On October 17, 2003, Robert Y.
