     and bank account reconciliations.

FOOTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

1.   These financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with
     GAAP because Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
     "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived
     Assets, to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") has not been applied. Upon the
     application of SFAS 121, the Company expects to be required to write down
     the carrying value of its long-lived assets to their fair value. The
     Company believes the amount of the write-down will be material; however, it
     is not possible at this time to determine such amount. There may also be
     adjustments to certain other accounts as a result of the Debtors' filing
     for protection under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code on January 30,
     1997.

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 121,
     which is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
     after December 15, 1995. Under certain circumstances, SFAS 121 requires
     companies to write down the carrying value of long-lived assets recorded in
     the financial statements to the fair value of such assets. A significant
     amount of the assets of the Company, which were acquired as a result of the
     acquisitions of businesses, including the Dial Page and MobileComm
     acquisitions, were recorded in accordance with principles of purchase
     accounting at acquisition prices and constitute long-lived assets. The
     Company has determined, and its independent auditors have concurred, that
     SFAS 121 is applicable to the Company, and therefore the Company expects to
     be required to write down the carrying value of its long-lived assets to
     their fair value. The Company believes the amount of the write down will be
     material: however, it is not possible at this time to determine such
     amount. Since the Company cannot comply with SFAS 121 at this time, it is
     unable to issue audited financial statements in compliance with generally
     accepted accounting principles. Consequently, the Company will not file its
     Report on Form 10-K or its other periodic reports under the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

FOOTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED):

2.   On January 30, 1997 (the "Filing Date"), MobileMedia Corporation (the
     "Company"), MobileMedia Communications, Inc. ("MobileMedia Communications")
     and all seventeen of MobileMedia Communications' subsidiaries filed for
     protection under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the
     "Bankruptcy Code"). The Debtors are operating as debtors-in-possession and
     are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court for
     the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court").

     The Court has authorized the debtors to pay certain pre-petition creditors.
     These permitted pre-petition payments include: (i) employee salary and
     wages; (ii) certain employee benefits and travel expenses; (iii) certain
     amounts owing to essential vendors; (iv) trust fund type sales and use
     taxes; (v) trust fund payroll taxes; (vi) customer refunds; and (vii)
     customer rewards.

3.   Since the Filing Date, the Debtors have continued to manage their business
     as debtors-in-possession under sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy
     Code. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases, the Bankruptcy Court has
     jurisdiction over the assets and affairs of the Debtors, and their
     continued operations are subject to the Bankruptcy Court's protection and
     supervision. The Debtors have sought, obtained, and are in the process of
     applying for, various orders from the Bankruptcy Court intended to
     stabilize and reorganize their business and minimize any disruption caused
     by the Chapter 11 cases.

4.   Operating expense and EBITDA for September 1997 includes the favorable
     impact of a $2.1 million reversal of previously recorded 1997 telephone
     expense accruals.

5.   During the month of February 1997, the Debtors drew down $45 million of
     borrowings under the debtor-in-possession financing facility (the "DIP
     facility") with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as agent for the lenders
     thereunder (the "DIP Lenders"). During the months of March and April 1997,
     the Debtors repaid $25 million and $5 million, respectively, of borrowings
     under the DIP facility. During the month of August, the Debtors drew down
     an additional $2 million under the DIP facility.

6.   The Company is one of the largest paging companies in the U.S., with
     approximately 3.7 million system reported units in service at September 30,
     1997, and offers local, regional and national paging services to its
     subscribers. The Company estimates it will remove approximately 0.1 million
     units included above, for which payment is delinquent or are non-revenue
     generating. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company's business is
     conducted primarily through the Company's principal operating subsidiary,
     MobileMedia Communications, and its subsidiaries. The Company markets its
     services primarily under the "MobileComm" brand name. All significant
     intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

FOOTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED):

7.   As previously announced in its September 27, 1996 and October 21, 1996
     releases, the Company discovered misrepresentations and other violations
     which occurred during the licensing process for as many as 400 to 500, or
     approximately 6% to 7%, of its approximately 8,000 local transmission
     one-way paging stations. The Company caused an investigation to be
     conducted by its outside counsel, and a comprehensive report regarding
     these matters was provided to the Federal Communications Commission (the
     "FCC") in the fall of 1996. In cooperation with the FCC, outside counsel's
     investigation was expanded to examine all of the Company's paging licenses,
     and the results of that investigation were submitted to the FCC on November
     8, 1996. As part of the cooperative process, the Company also proposed to
     the FCC that a Consent Order be entered which would result, among other
     things, in the return of certain local paging authorizations then held by
     the Company, the dismissal of certain pending applications for paging
     authorizations, and the voluntary acceptance of a substantial monetary
     forfeiture.

     On January 13, 1997, the FCC issued a Public Notice relating to the status
     of certain FCC authorizations held by the Company. Pursuant to the Public
     Notice, the FCC announced that it had (i) automatically terminated
     approximately 185 authorizations for paging facilities that were not
     constructed by the expiration date of their construction permits and
     remained unconstructed, (ii) dismissed approximately 94 applications for
     fill-in sites around existing paging stations (which had been filed under
     the so-called "40-mile rule") as defective because they were predicated
     upon unconstructed facilities and (iii) automatically terminated
     approximately 99 other authorizations for paging facilities that were
     constructed after the expiration date of their construction permits. With
     respect to the approximately 99 authorizations where the underlying station
     was untimely constructed, the FCC granted the Company interim operating
     authority subject to further action by the FCC.

     On April 8, 1997, the FCC adopted an order commencing an administrative
     hearing into the qualification of the Company to remain a licensee. The
     order directed an Administrative Law Judge to take evidence and develop a
     full factual record on directed issues concerning the Company's filing of
     false forms and applications. The Company was permitted to operate its
     licensed facilities and provide service to the public during the pendency
     of the hearing.

FOOTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED):

     On June 6, 1997, the FCC issued an order staying the hearing proceeding for
     ten months in order to allow the Company to develop and consummate a plan
     of reorganization that provides for a change of control of the Company and
     a permissible transfer of the Company's FCC licenses. The order, which is
     based on an FCC doctrine known as SECOND THURSDAY, provides that if there
     is a change of control that meets the conditions of SECOND THURSDAY, the
     Company's FCC issues will be resolved by the transfer of the Company's FCC
     licenses to the new owners of the Company and the hearing will not proceed.
     The Company believes that a reorganization plan that provides for either a
     conversion of certain existing debt to equity, in which case existing
     MobileMedia shares will be substantially diluted or eliminated, or a sale
     of the Company will result in a change of control. There can be no
     assurance that the Company will be successful in consummating a plan of
     reorganization meeting the requirements of the order. In the event that the
     Company were unable to do so, the Company would be required to proceed with
     the hearing, which, if adversely determined, could result in the loss of
     the Company's licenses or substantial monetary fines, or both. Such an
     outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
     condition and results of operations.

HEADNOTES:

THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP
BECAUSE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS, TO BE DISPOSED OF"
("SFAS 121") HAS NOT BEEN APPLIED. UPON THE APPLICATION OF SFAS 121, THE COMPANY
EXPECTS TO BE REQUIRED TO WRITE DOWN THE CARRYING VALUE OF ITS LONG-LIVED ASSETS
TO THEIR FAIR VALUE. THE COMPANY BELIEVES THE AMOUNT OF THE WRITE-DOWN WILL BE
MATERIAL; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS TIME TO DETERMINE SUCH AMOUNT.
THERE MAY ALSO BE ADJUSTMENTS TO CERTAIN OTHER ACCOUNTS AS A RESULT OF THE
DEBTORS' FILING FOR PROTECTION UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE US BANKRUPTCY CODE ON
JANUARY 30, 1997.
