                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  Organization

     MediaBay, Inc. (the "Company"), a Florida corporation, was formed on August
16, 1993.  MediaBay,  Inc. is a leading marketer of premium spoken word content,
including audiobooks and old time radio, and classic video programs. The Company
markets audiobooks primarily through its Audio Book Club. Its old time radio and
classic video programs are marketed  through  direct-mail  catalogues  and, on a
wholesale  basis,  to major  retailers.  All of the Company's  products are also
available for purchase over the Internet through its  content-rich  media portal
at MediaBay.com and its channels and audiobookclub.com.

(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation

     The interim  unaudited  financial  statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited financial  statements  contained in its Annual Report
on Form  10-KSB  for the year  ended  December  31,  1999.  The  preparation  of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts of assets and  liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
from these  estimates.  On an ongoing  basis,  management  reviews its estimates
based on current available  information.  Changes in facts and circumstances may
result in revised estimates. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited
financial  statements  include all material  adjustments,  all of which are of a
normal  recurring  nature,  necessary to present fairly the Company's  financial
position,  results of operations and cash flows for the periods  presented.  The
results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the
entire year or any other interim period.

Reclassifications

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

(3)  Long-term Debt

     In January and February  2000,  Norton  Herrick sold an  additional  $4,224
principal  amount of the note issued to him in December 1998 to two unaffiliated
third parties which was converted  into 379,662  shares of the Company's  common
stock.  Under the December 1998 letter  agreement,  the Company issued to Norton
Herrick warrants to purchase an additional  98,554 shares of its common stock at
an exercise price of $8.41 per share.  No  compensation  has been  recognized in
relation to this transaction.


                                       6
<PAGE>


     In January and February 2000, Evan Herrick,  son of the Company's Chairman,
loaned the Company an additional  $2,000 for which he received $2,000  principal
amount 9%  convertible  promissory  notes due December 31, 2004.  The notes were
initially  convertible  into shares of the Company's common stock at $11.125 per
share,  which was the market  value on the date the note was  issued.  The loans
evidenced by the notes were intended to be short-term and serve as a "bridge" to
replacement  financing.  At the time of issuance of the convertible  notes,  the
Company's  board of  directors  resolved  to seek to  replace or  refinance  the
convertible  notes and accept a proposal for refinancing,  whether or not (i) as
favorable as the convertible notes including, without limitation,  providing for
a higher interest rate or lower conversion price, (ii) requiring the issuance of
equity securities and/or (iii) requiring the payment of fees.

     In February  2000,  the  unaffiliated  third-party  holder of the $4,800 9%
promissory  note  converted $600 of the note into 53,932 shares of the Company's
common stock.

(4)  Stockholders' Equity and Stock Options and Warrants

Sale of Equity

     The Company's  Registration  Statement on Form SB-2 for a follow-on primary
offering was declared  effective by the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission on
March 15, 2000. On March 20, 2000,  the Company closed its offering of 3,650,000
shares of Common  Stock at a price of $9.00  per  share  for gross  proceeds  of
$32,850.  The  Company  incurred  expenses  of $3,359  related to the  offering,
including  the  underwriting  discount  and  accountable  expenses,   legal  and
accounting fees and printing expenses.

Stock Options and Warrants

     In the first quarter of 2000, in addition to the 98,554 warrants  described
in note 3 above,  the Company  granted  plan  options and warrants to purchase a
total of 926,000 shares of the Company's common stock to officers, employees and
consultants.  The options and warrants  vest at various  times and have exercise
periods of five and ten years.  Exercise prices range from $8.125 to $14.875 per
share. The Company canceled  five-year plan options to purchase a total of 6,900
shares of the Company's  common stock.  The Company also issued and subsequently
canceled  prior to March 31, 2000  warrants to  purchase  640,000  shares of its
common stock.

Termination of Contingent Put Rights

     In January 2000,  rights to sell back to the Company 50,000 shares,  valued
at $644,  issued to one of the  sellers  in  connection  with the  acquisitions,
terminated  due to the Company's  common stock  exceeding the price agreed to in
the acquisition agreement for the period specified in the acquisition agreement.

(5)  Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

     The weighted average number of common shares used in the net loss per share
computations  for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 2000 were  7,078,920
and 10,253,079, respectively.

     Common  equivalent  shares,  as calculated under the treasury stock method,
that could  potentially  dilute basic  earnings per share in the future and that
were not  included in the  computation  of diluted  loss per share  because they
would have been  antidilutive


                                       7
<PAGE>

were  963,447 for the three months  ended March 31, 1999 and  1,036,127  for the
three months ended March 31, 2000.

(6)  Supplemental Cash Flow Information

     Cash paid for  interest  expense  was $1,092 and $920 for the three  months
ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

(7)  Subsequent Events

     In April 2000,  the Company  repaid $20,293 of its bank debt out of the net
proceeds from the follow-on  primary  offering,  representing the remaining term
portion of such debt. As a result,  the Company will expense deferred  financing
fees in the amount of $2,135 and will classify such expense as an  extraordinary
item arising from the early extinguishment of debt. The Company also amended the
terms of its remaining  revolving  debt with its lenders to calculate the amount
available  to be  borrowed  based  on a  formula  of  eligible  receivables  and
inventory,  as defined.  The revolving  credit facility bears interest at 11.50%
and matures on June 30, 2000.  The Company is currently  working to replace this
revolving credit facility and believes it can do so on favorable terms.

     Subsequent to March 31, 2000, the Company granted plan options and warrants
to purchase a total of 330,250 shares of the Company's common stock to officers,
employees  and  consultants.  The  options  vest at  various  times  and have an
exercise  period of five years.  Exercise  prices range from $4.00 to $7.50.  In
addition, the Company cancelled options and warrants to purchase 1,250 shares of
the Company's common stock.

     In April 2000, the Company's  Board of Directors  determined  that reducing
the conversion  price of the $3,000  principal  amount 9% convertible  notes due
December 31, 2004 issued to Evan Herrick to the then current market value of the
Company's common stock would be more favorable to the Company than accepting the
alternatives  available to the Company to  refinance  or replace the notes.  The
Company  revised  the  terms  of the  $3,000  principal  amount  9%  convertible
promissory  notes due December 31, 2004 to Evan  Herrick.  The note is currently
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $4.00 per share,  which
was the market value on the date the terms were revised.

                                     ITEM 2.

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations (Dollars in thousands)

Introduction

     "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act
of 1995:  The  statements  which  are not  historical  facts  contained  in this
Quarterly  Report  are  forward  looking   statements  that  involve  risks  and
uncertainties,   including  but  not  limited  to,  the  Company's   ability  to
successfully  implement a strategy of continued growth and other risks described
in the  Company's  Registration  Statement  on Form  SB-2 (No.  333-95793).  The
Company's actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in any
forward looking statement.

     The  Company is a leading  provider  of premium  spoken  word  content  and
products in hard goods and digital download formats via the Internet and various
offline methods. The Company markets its audiobooks through Audio Book Club, the
largest  membership-based  club  of its  kind  with  approximately  1.8  million
members,  and the  Company's  audiobookclub.com  web  site.  The  Company  sells
audiobooks  in a club format  through  its Audio Book Club and via the  Internet
through its audiobookclub.com  site, and on a retail basis through the audiobook
channel on MediaBay.com.  The Company sells its old time radio and classic video
programs on a retail basis through direct marketing and via the Internet through
the old time radio and classic video channels on  MediaBay.com,  as well as on a
wholesale basis to major retailers.

         As a result of the timing of the Company's marketing  activities within
a given year or quarter,  the impact of capitalizing  new member direct response
marketing  costs and the timing of  acquisitions  and related  costs,  including
increased  interest expense and goodwill and other intangible asset amortization
expense,  comparisons of the Company's  historical operating results from period
to period may not be meaningful.


Results of Operations

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

          Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended
          March 31, 1999

     Gross  sales for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 were  $16,127 an
increase of $3,300 or 25.7%,  as compared to $12,827 for the three  months ended
March 31,  1999.  The  increase in gross  sales was  primarily  attributable  to
increased  sales of audiobooks  resulting from the continued  expansion of Audio
Book  Club's  membership  base and sales  from  members  of  Doubleday  Direct's
Audiobooks Direct for the three months ended March 31, 2000.  Doubleday Direct's
Audiobooks Direct was acquired in June 1999.

     Returns, discounts and allowances for the three months ended March 31, 2000
were $5,181 as compared to $2,898 for the prior comparable  period. The increase
in returns,  discounts and allowances was primarily due to the increase in Audio
Book Club gross  sales  which has a  historically  higher  return  rate than the
Company's radio and video products.


                                       9
<PAGE>

     Principally  as a result of  higher  gross  sales,  net sales for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 increased $1,017 to $10,946.

     Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased $1,124 to
$5,750 from $4,626 in the prior comparable period. Cost of sales as a percentage
of net sales  increased to 52.5% from 46.6%  principally  due to a change in the
product  and  customer  mix of sales among the  Company's  product  lines.  As a
result,  gross profit was  relatively  constant for the three months ended March
31, 2000 as compared to the prior comparable period.

     Advertising  and promotion  expenses (for  acquisition and retention of new
members)  increased $954 or 64.2% to $2,440 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 as compared to $1,486 in the prior comparable period.  Beginning in January
1999, the Company was required to capitalize direct response marketing costs for
the  acquisition of new members in accordance  with AICPA  Statement of Position
93-7  "Reporting on Advertising  Costs" and amortize these costs over the period
of future  benefit  which was  estimated  at 30  months  based on the  Company's
historical experience over the preceding five years. The increase in advertising
and  promotion  expenses  resulted  primarily  from the  increased  amortization
expense related to previously  capitalized  advertising costs resulting from the
change in accounting.

     General and  administrative  expenses  for the three months ended March 31,
2000 increased $1,167 to $3,182 from $2,015 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. General and administrative expense increases are principally  attributable
to the  increase in sales and a  corresponding  increase in bad debt expense and
increased  personnel  and  related  costs as the Company  continues  to grow and
expand  MediaBay.com  and its  commitment  to the  digital  age of  spoken  word
delivery.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31,
2000 were  $1,983,  an  increase  of $569,  as  compared to $1,414 for the prior
comparable  period.  The increase in  depreciation  expense  relates to computer
equipment and amortization of web development  costs as the Company continues to
increase  its web  presence and expand its digital  download  capabilities.  The
increase in amortization  is  attributable  to the  amortization of goodwill and
other  intangible  assets  in  connection  with  the  Company's  acquisition  of
Doubleday Direct's Audiobooks Direct.

     Net  interest  expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,068
as compared to $1,053 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

     Primarily due to increased amortization expense for capitalized advertising
costs,  increases in general and administrative  expenses due to sales increases
and the Company's  continued  growth including the expansion of MediaBay.com and
increased  amortization  of  goodwill  and  intangible  costs  relating  to  the
acquisition of Doubleday Direct's  Audiobooks Direct, the net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 increased  $2,812 to $3,477,  or $.34 per share,  as
compared  to a net loss of $665 or $.09 per  share for the  three  months  ended
March 31, 1999.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Historically, the Company has funded its cash requirements through sales of
equity and debt  securities and borrowings from financial  institutions  and our
principle


                                       10
<PAGE>

shareholders.  Our  capital  requirements  have  been  and will  continue  to be
significant  due  to,  among  other  things,  expansion  of  operations,   costs
associated with direct mail campaigns,  other new member recruitment advertising
and  promotion   and  brand   building  and   expanding   Internet   operations.
Historically,  the  Company's  cash  requirements  have exceeded cash flows from
operations.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  the Company's cash increased by
$27,660  as the  Company  used net cash of  $2,574  and $318 for  operating  and
investing activities,  respectively, and had cash provided by equity raising and
financing  activities  of  $30,552.  Net  cash  used in  operations  principally
consisted of the net loss of $3,477,  increases in inventories of $570,  prepaid
expenses  of $601,  royalty  advances  of $1,109 and a net  increase in deferred
member  acquisition  costs of $310.  Net cash used in  operations  was partially
offset by depreciation  and  amortization  expenses  included in the net loss of
$1,983 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,860.

     The increase in inventory is primarily due to the timing of purchases.  The
increase in prepaid  expenses  is  primarily  related to direct mail  activities
commencing in the second quarter.  The increase in royalty advances is primarily
attributable  to the renewal and  expansion  to include  digital  downloads of a
licensing  agreement  with  one of the  Company's  significant  publishers.  The
decrease in accounts receivable was primarily  attributable to the collection of
retail  receivables from the holiday selling season from the Company's radio and
video programs.

     Cash used in investing  activities was for the acquisition of fixed assets,
principally for computer equipment and web development and additions to goodwill
for additional costs incurred in the acquisitions.

     In March 2000, the Company  closed its offering of 3,650,000  shares of its
Common  Stock at a price of $9.00 per share for gross  proceeds of $32,850.  Net
proceeds  after  expenses of $3,359,  including  the  underwriting  discount and
accountable  expenses,  legal and accounting  fees and printing  expenses,  were
$29,491.

     In January and February  2000,  two  unaffiliated  third parties  converted
$4,224 principal  amount of convertible  promissory notes into 379,662 shares of
the Company's common stock.

     In January  and  February  2000,  Evan  Herrick,  the son of the  Company's
chairman,  loaned the Company an additional $2,000 in the form of 9% convertible
promissory  notes due December 31, 2004.  The loans  evidenced by the notes were
intended to be short-term and serve as a "bridge" to replacement  financing.  At
the time of issuance of the convertible  notes, the Company's board of directors
resolved  to seek to replace or  refinance  the  convertible  notes and accept a
proposal for  refinancing,  whether or not (i) as  favorable as the  convertible
notes  including,  without  limitation,  providing for a higher interest rate or
lower conversion  price, (ii) requiring the issuance of equity securities and/or
(iii) requiring the payment of fees.

     In April 2000,  the Company  repaid $20,293 of its bank debt out of the net
proceeds from the follow-on  primary  offering,  representing the remaining term
portion of such debt. As a result,  the Company will expense deferred  financing
fees in the amount of

$2,135 and will classify such expense as an extraordinary  item arising from the
early extinguishment of debt.

     In April 2000,  the Company  amended the terms of its  remaining  revolving
debt with its lenders to calculate the amount  available to be borrowed based on
a formula of eligible  receivables  and  inventory,  as defined.  The  revolving
credit  facility  bears  interest  at 11.50% and matures on June 30,  2000.  The
Company is  currently  working to replace  this  revolving  credit  facility and
believes it can do so on favorable terms.

     In April 2000, the Company's  Board of Directors  determined  that reducing
the conversion  price of the $3,000  principal  amount 9% convertible  notes due
December 31, 2004 issued to Evan Herrick to the then current market value of the
Company's common stock would be more favorable to the Company than accepting the
alternatives  available to the Company to  refinance  or replace the notes.  The
Company  revised  the  terms  of the  $3,000  principal  amount  9%  convertible
promissory  notes due December 31, 2004 to Evan  Herrick.  The note is currently
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $4.00 per share,  which
was the market value on the date the terms were revised.

Quarterly Fluctuations

     The Company's  operating  results vary from period to period as a result of
purchasing  patterns of members,  the timing,  costs,  magnitude  and success of
direct mail campaigns and Internet  initiatives and other new member recruitment
advertising,  member  attrition,  the timing  and  popularity  of new  audiobook
releases and product returns.

     The  timing  of new  member  enrollment  varies  depending  on the  timing,
magnitude  and  success  of  new  member  advertising,   particularly   Internet
advertising  and direct mail  campaigns.  The  Company's  gross profit margin is
affected by the percentage of new Audio Book Club member  enrollment  purchases.
Initial  purchases  by  new  members  are at  substantially  reduced  prices  to
encourage  enrollment.  These offers,  which are typically  four  audiobooks for
either $.99 or $.01 plus shipping and handling, result in an initial loss to the
Company which is expected to be recovered through additional member purchases at
regular prices. New member enrollment  purchases  typically account for a higher
percentage  of sales  following  significant  Audio Book Club  direct  marketing
activities.

     The Company  believes that a  significant  portion of its sales of old-time
radio and classic video programs are gift purchases by consumers. Therefore, the
Company  tends to  experience  increased  sales of these  products in the fourth
quarter  in  anticipation  of the  holiday  season  and the  second  quarter  in
anticipation of Fathers' Day.

          amount  convertible  promissory notes due December 31, 2004 to the son
          of our Chairman. The convertible notes bear interest at the rate of 9%
          per year and are currently  convertible into shares of Common Stock at
          the rate of $4.00 of  principal  or  interest  outstanding  per share,

          requirement offered by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

               During the three months ended March 31, 2000,  we issued  options
          under our 1999 Stock  Incentive  Plan to  purchase  916,000  shares of
          Common Stock to certain individuals, including officers and directors.
