                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of 
broadcast.com inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations and stockholders' deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Simple Network Communications, Inc.
at December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the period from March 1, 1996 (Inception) to December 31, 1996 and for
the year ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. 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 of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

The accompanying balance sheet of Simple Network Communications, Inc. as of
September 30, 1998, and the related statements of operations and stockholders'
deficit and of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997
and 1998 were not audited by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion
on them.

       original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

       Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
       the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
       which are 2 years for computer and equipment, and 5 years for furniture
       and fixtures. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

       The Company is the lessee of computer and computer peripheral equipment
       under capital leases with effective interest rates ranging from 12.2% to
       75.9%. The assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at
       the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair
       value of the asset. Except for capital leases which transfer title to the
       Company or contain bargain purchase options, assets held under capital
       leases are amortized over their lease terms. Assets held under capital
       leases which transfer title to the Company or contain bargain purchase
       options are amortized over their estimated productive lives.

       REVENUE RECOGNITION

       The Company recognizes revenue as services are rendered. Services paid in
       advance are recorded as deferred revenue.

       INCOME TAXES

       The Company presents income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS 109").
       FAS 109 uses an asset and liability approach to account for income taxes,
       wherein deferred taxes are provided for book and tax basis differences
       for assets and liabilities. In the event differences between the
       financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and
       liabilities result in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the
       probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by
       such assets is required. A valuation allowance is provided for a portion
       or all of the deferred tax assets when there is sufficient uncertainty
       regarding the Company's ability to recognize the benefits of the assets
       in future years.

       DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

       The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities
       approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these
       financial instruments. The carrying amounts of capital lease obligations
       approximate their fair values based on interest rates currently available
       to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities.

       ADVERTISING COSTS

       Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was
       approximately $45,062 and $616,191 for the period from March 1, 1996
       (Inception) to December 31, 1996, and for the year ended December 31,
       1997, respectively.

       USE OF 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 period. Actual results could differ from estimates.

       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

       In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
       Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("FAS 133"),
       was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
       1999. FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the
       balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of
       derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other
       comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as
       part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.
       The Company believes that adoption of the standard will not have a
       material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or
       financial position.

       In June 1997, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
       Reporting Comprehensive Income ("FAS 130"), was issued. FAS 130
       establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
       and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set
       of general-purpose financial statements. Reclassification of financial
       statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is
       required upon adoption. FAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning
       after December 15, 1997. The Company believes that the adoption of the
       standard will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
       results of operations or financial position.

       In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
       Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("FAS
       131"), was issued. FAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public
       business enterprises report selected information about operating segments
       in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises report
       selected information about operating segments in interim financial
       reports issued to stockholders. FAS 131 is effective for financial
       statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company
       believes that the adoption of the standard will not have a material
       impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial
       position.

       The Company's tax return reports taxable income and current taxes due,
       primarily because the tax return reflects all revenue, including revenue
       deferred for financial statement purposes, as income when collected.

       Deferred taxes are provided for those items reported in different periods
       for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The Company's net
       deferred tax asset has been fully reserved because of uncertainty
       regarding the Company's ability to recognize the benefit of the asset in
       future years. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to

       lease expiring March 31, 1998. Total rent expense for the years ended
       December 31, 1996 and 1997 is $2,892 and $82,007, respectively.

       On December 16, 1997, the Company entered into an 84-month noncancellable
       operating lease for new office facilities beginning March 15, 1998. The
       facilities lease includes a 5-year renewal option. The lease provides a
       tenant improvement allowance of $30 per usable square foot (approximately
       $409,000). The monthly lease payments have increases over the lease term.
       The monthly lease payment is $20,208 during the first two years,
       increasing to $27,786 for the seventh year of the lease.

 9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company committed to leasehold
       improvements in excess of its tenant improvement allowance of
       approximately $400,000 (Note 5).

       Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company entered into several capital
       lease agreements totaling $413,254 to finance the purchase of equipment
       and maintenance contracts.

       During March 1998, the Company signed a note payable with a bank in the
       amount of $500,000 payable in 84 monthly installments of $8,562. Interest
       is at prime plus 2.50%. Proceeds of the note will be used to pay for
       leasehold improvements and for working capital. The Company has pledged
       various equipment as collateral, as well as assignment of life insurance
       on two of the stockholders and second trust deeds on the personal real

       On November 30, 1998, broadcast.com inc., a Delaware corporation
       ("broadcast.com") acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of the
       Company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of
       November 16, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among broadcast.com,
       SN Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
       of broadcast.com ("MergerCo"), and the Company. In accordance with the
       terms of the Merger Agreement, MergerCo merged with and into the Company,
       with the Company as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). In the
       Merger, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company were
       exchanged for 410,809 shares of broadcast.com common stock. The Merger
       will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.

       Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and the related Escrow Agreement
       dated November 30, 1998, a total of 20,540 shares of broadcast.com common
       stock will be held in escrow for the purpose of indemnifying
       broadcast.com against certain liabilities of the Company. Such escrow
       will terminate on March 31, 1999.

       leases through funding provided by broadcast.com.
