              For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

Note 1    -  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
     prepared from the records of the Company and, in the opinion of management,
     include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
     necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2000 and
     the interim results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
     March 31, 2000 and 1999.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 was
     derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
     included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

     Accounting policies followed by the Company are described in Note 1 to the
     audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999
     included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.  Certain information
     and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted for purposes of the condensed financial statements.
     The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the audited financial statements, including the notes
     thereto, for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     The results from operations for the three-month period herein presented are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.



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

     The following discussion and analysis of Gaiam's financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this document.

Three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to three months ended March 31, 1999
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues increased 32.3% to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000 from $9.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
Company's internal growth rate was 26% for the first quarter of 2000, fueled
primarily by the success of its e-commerce business.

Gross profit, which consists of revenues less costs of sales (primarily
merchandise acquisition costs and in-bound freight), increased 35.4% to $7.6
million for the first quarter of 2000 from $5.6 million during the same period
in 1999.  As a percentage of revenue, gross

                                       6
<PAGE>

profit increased to 60.8% in 2000 from 59.4% in 1999.  This was primarily
attributable to increases in the sales of proprietary or private-labeled branded
products, on which Gaiam has better margins than other products.

Selling and operating expenses, which consist primarily of sales and marketing
costs, commissions and fulfillment expenses increased 32.5%, corresponding to
the revenue increase, to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000
from $4.6 million for the same period in 1999.  As a percentage of revenues,
selling and operating expenses increased to 48.3% in 2000 from 48.2% in 1999.

Corporate, general and administrative expenses increased to $1.1 million for the
first quarter of 2000, compared to $953,565 for the corresponding period in
1999.  As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 8.9% in 2000 from 10.0% in 1999.

Operating income, as a result of the factors described above, increased 316.2%
to $456,359 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $109,661 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999.

The Company recorded $76,295 in other expense during the first quarter of 2000,
compared to other income of $147,748 for the comparable period in 1999.  During
1999, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of its marketable securities of
$223,014.  Interest expense declined to $46,650 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 from $95,126 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, due to a
reduction in debt levels.

Minority interest in net income increased to $4,992 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from a negative $4,253 for the same period in 1999.

Income tax provision of $125,130 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to a provision of $60,369 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Net income, as a result of the factors described above, increased 91.5% to
$203,292 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $106,167 for the
comparable period in 1999.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Gaiam's capital needs arise from working capital required to fund our
operations, capital expenditures related to expansions and improvements to
Gaiam's infrastructure, development of e-commerce, and funds required in
connection with the acquisitions of new businesses and its anticipated future
growth.  These capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the
rate of market acceptance of Gaiam's product offerings, the ability to expand
Gaiam's customer base, the cost of ongoing upgrades to its product offerings,
the level of expenditures for sales and marketing, the level of investment in
distribution and other factors.  The timing and amount of these capital
requirements cannot

                                       7
<PAGE>

accurately be predicted.  Additionally, Gaiam will continue to evaluate possible
investments in businesses, products and technologies, and plans to expand its
sales and marketing programs and conduct more aggressive brand promotions.

       During the first six months of 1999, Gaiam raised $1.45 million from the
private placement of 331,429 shares of Class A common stock and $1.425 million
in debentures. The privately placed shares were sold at $4.375 per share, and
the 8% convertible debentures matured on the earlier of one year after the date
of the debenture or the closing date of the initial public offering. In October
1999, we repaid $500,000 of the convertible debentures and, simultaneous with
the closing of the initial public offering, converted the remaining $1.475
million in debentures to 295,000 shares of Class A common stock. During 1998, we
raised approximately $1.2 million from private placements ($575,000 for 160,000
shares and $550,000 in debentures).

       Gaiam's initial public offering of 1,705,000 shares of Class A common
stock at $5.00 per share was completed in October 1999.  Simultaneous with this
offering, Gaiam converted $1.475 million in debentures to 295,000 shares of
common stock, resulting in a total issuance of 2,000,000 shares.  The offering's
underwriters also exercised their overallotment option for 102,861 additional
shares during November 1999.  Net proceeds to Gaiam, after deducting all
commissions and expenses associated with the offering, were $6.1 million.

       Gaiam is party to revolving line of credit agreements with Norwest Bank,
which extend through December 31, 2001.  The credit agreements permit borrowing
up to $3 million based upon the collateral value of Gaiam's accounts receivable
and inventory held for resale.  These borrowings are secured by a pledge of
Gaiam's assets.  Principal repayment of amounts borrowed under these line of
credit agreements are due either when the collateral value of Gaiam's accounts
receivable and inventory drops below prescribed levels or upon maturity of the
agreements, whichever occurs first.  Borrowings under the Norwest credit
agreements bear interest at the prime rate plus 1%.  The Norwest credit
agreements contain various financial covenants and also prohibit Gaiam from
paying dividends to its shareholders.

       Gaiam's operating activities provided net cash of  $1.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and used $2.6 million of net cash for the same
period in 1999.  Gaiam's net cash provided by operating activities for 2000
arose primarily from increases in cash generated from net income, seasonal
reductions in accounts receivable and deferred advertising costs, and an
increase in payables associated with direct-to-consumer web site costs.  Net
cash used during 1999 was primarily a result of a seasonal reduction in accounts
payable and accrued expenses.

                                       8
<PAGE>

       Gaiam's investing activities used cash of $3.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000.  This use of cash arose primarily from costs
associated with the direct-to-consumer web site, and additional property and
equipment purchases to support our increasing volumes.  During the first three
months of 1999, Gaiam generated $137,410 in cash from investing activities,
largely from the sale of marketable securities.

       During the three months ended March 31, 2000, Gaiam's financing
activities used cash of $22,405 to for amounts due under capital leases.  During
the same period in 1999, Gaiam's financing activities provided $1.4 million in
cash primarily from borrowing activities.

       As Gaiam continues to expand its business-to-business e-commerce
presence, we anticipate making additional investments in web site design and
technology, and, with additional planned business growth, will be investing in
additional distribution capacity.

       We believe our available cash, cash expected to be generated from
operations, and borrowing capabilities will be sufficient to fund our operations
on both a short-term and long-term basis.  However, our projected cash needs may
change as a result of acquisitions, unforeseen operational difficulties or other
