                         On June 30, 1997, MobileMedia Corporation (the 
         "Company"), MobileMedia Communications, Inc. ("MobileMedia
         Communications") and all of the subsidiaries of MobileMedia
         Communications filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the

         report for the month ended May 31, 1997, which is attached hereto as
         Exhibit 99.1.

   
                         Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 are the consolidated 
         financial statements of MobileMedia Communications as of and for the
         year ended December 31, 1996, which financial statements are unaudited
         and have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles due to the Company's inability at the present 
         time to determine the amount of an impairment adjustment that would

      evidence for the third quarter of 1996 with the US Trustee.

      Please see the Status of Post Petition Taxes attached hereto for the
      month's activity.

      of cash receipts and disbursements, copies of the bank statements, and
      bank account reconciliations.

HEADNOTES:

The closing of the Financial Statements of the Debtors for the year ended
December 31, 1996 has not been completed. Therefore, in addition to the
adjustments reflected below, the Financial Statements included in this Monthly
Operating Report do not reflect the effect of other adjustments for the year
ended December 31, 1996, which adjustments will be material.

   

The Debtors believe that there will be adjustments to their Accounts Receivable,
Inventory, Fixed Assets, Intangible Assets and Depreciation Expense. There will
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.

    

(1) The Company made adjustments to reflect the recording of an allowance for
estimated disparities between recorded revenues and collections in the amounts
of $2.0, $4.0 and $10.1 million in the months of May, April and March,
respectively. Of the $10.1 million adjustment in March, $6.7 million relates to
January and February 1997. Accordingly, results for the month of March 1997 are
not indicative of the Debtors' underlying performance during that month.

(2) Includes an adjustment of approximately $1.0 million to decrease Cost of
Products Sold during the first quarter of 1997. Such adjustment is offset by a
reduction in an Inventory reserve established as of December 31, 1996. See
Headnote 1 to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Footnotes to the Financial Statements:

1.    The closing of the Financial Statements of the Debtors for the year ended
      December 31, 1996 has not been completed. Therefore, in addition to the
      adjustments described herein, the Financial Statements included in this
      Monthly Operating Report do not reflect the effect of other adjustments
      for the year ended December 31, 1996, which adjustments will have a
      material effect on the Debtors' financial position.

      The Debtors believe that there will be adjustments to their Accounts
      Receivable, Inventory, Fixed Assets, Intangible Assets and Depreciation
      Expense. 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 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"), 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 may 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 could 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.
      Accordingly, the Company is unable to comply with the continued listing
      requirements of the Nasdaq National Market and has requested that its
      Common Stock be delisted. On June 3, 1997, the Company announced that it
      had determined to delist its Class A common stock, par value $.001 per
      share, which was traded on the Nasdaq National Market.

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 ("DIP") 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.    The Consolidated Statements of Operations include: (a) adjustments to
      reflect the recording of an allowance for estimated disparities between
      recorded revenues and collections in the amounts of $2.0, $4.0 and $10.1
      million for the months of May, April and March, respectively. Of the $10.1
      million adjustment in March, $6.7 million relates to January and February
      1997. Accordingly, results for the month of March 1997 are not indicative
      of the Debtors' underlying performance during that month; and (b) an
      adjustment made in March in the amount of approximately $1.0 million to
      decrease Cost of Products Sold during the first quarter of 1997. Such
      adjustment is offset by a reduction in an Inventory reserve established as
      of December 31, 1996. See Headnote 1 to the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Footnotes to the Financial Statements (continued):

5.    The Consolidated Balance Sheets include the following adjustments: (a) in
      March an approximate $1.0 million reduction in an Inventory reserve
      established at December 31, 1996; and (b) adjustments to previously
      reported Balance Sheet items for months prior to May 1997, consisting of
      (i) an adjustment in March of approximately $2.8 million to increase
      Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities, reflecting a review of
      accounts payable and the accrual of certain amounts at December 31, 1996,
      and a corresponding increase in Property and Equipment, Net, (ii) an
      adjustment in April of approximately $0.8 million to decrease Accrued
      Expenses and Other Current Liabilities, reflecting a review of accounts
      payable and the accrual of certain amounts at December 31, 1996, and a
      corresponding decrease in Property and Equipment, Net, and (iii) an
      adjustment in April of approximately $1.0 million to decrease Property and
      Equipment, Net, reflecting a correction in the reporting of the April
      results, and a corresponding increase in the Accumulated Deficit - Post
      Petition. See Headnotes 1 and 2 to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

6.    During the month of February 1997, the Debtors drew down $45 million of
      their 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.

7.    The Company is the second largest paging company in the U.S., with
      approximately 4.1 million units in service at May 31, 1997, and offers
      local, regional and national paging services to its subscribers. The
      Company is reviewing its units in service to determine the number of units
      which require removal from its billing system for which payment is
      delinquent. 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, Inc. ("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. 

8.    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 directs 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 is permitted to operate their
      licensed facilities and provide service to the public during the pendency
      of the hearing. The FCC's order initiated a fact-finding and evaluative
      hearing process to gather information with which to make a decision, but
      would not be a final disposition of the FCC's action. An adverse outcome
      of this proceeding could result in the loss of the Company's licenses or
      substantial monetary fines, or both. Any such outcome would have a
      material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results
      of operations.

      On April 23, 1997, the Company filed a motion with the FCC seeking a stay
      of the hearing proceeding instituted by the FCC order entered April 7,
      1997. The motion discusses the consequences either of a grant or a denial
      of the motion to the Company and its debt and equity holders. The Company
      filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC that includes a copy of
      the motion. On May 2, 1991 the Administrative Law Judge denied the
      Company's motion to stay the hearing. The Company subsequently sought an
      appeal of the Administrative Law Judge's decision.

      On June 6, 1997 the FCC issued an order staying the hearing proceeding.
      The FCC order stays the hearing for ten months in order for the Company to
      develop and consummate a plan of reorganization that provides for a change
      of control of the Company and thus a transfer of the Company's FCC
      licenses. Under the order, which is based on an FCC doctrine known as
      Second Thursday, 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 and the hearing will not proceed.

Footnotes to the Financial Statements (continued):

      As noted in the order, the Company believes that a change in control will
      happen under a reorganization plan that provides either for 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.

      The Company cannot be certain what monetary forfeitures or other further

HEADNOTES:

The closing of the Financial Statements of the Debtors for the year ended
December 31,1996 has not been completed. Therefore, the Financial Statements
included in this Monthly Operating Report do not reflect the effect of certain
adjustments for the year ended December 31, 1996, which adjustments will be
material.

   

The Debtors believe that there will be adjustments to their Accounts Receivable,
Inventory, Fixed Assets, Intangible Assets and Depreciation Expense. There
will also be adjustments to certain other accounts as a result of the Debtor's
filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code on January
30,1997.

    

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows should be read in conjunction with all
of the footnotes disclosed on pages 7 through 11 of this report. Results for the
month of March 1997 are not indicative of the Debtors' underlying performance
during that month.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


   
The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of December 31, 1996 and for
the year then ended have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles due to the Company's inability at the present time to
determine the amount of an impairment adjustment that would be required pursuant
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
The Company believes that the amount of the impairment adjustment could be 
material. See Note 3 to the accompanying unaudited financial statements.

                          (dollar amounts in thousands)

   

1. Subsequent Event

      On January 30, 1997 (the "Filing Date"), MobileMedia Communications,
Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the "Company") and its parent, MobilMedia 
Corporation ("MobileMedia"), filed voluntary petitions for relief under 
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Filings"), in order to implement an 
operational and financial restructuring. In connection with the filings, the 
Company entered into a credit agreement, providing up to $200 million in 
debtor-in-possession financing (the "DIP Credit Agreement"). The Company is 
presently operating their business as debtors-in-possession subject to the 
jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the 
"Bankruptcy Court").
    
   
      The cases initiated by the Filings are being jointly administered for 
procedural purposes. During the pendency of the cases, the Bankruptcy Court 
has jurisdiction over the assets and affairs of the Company, and their 
continued operations are subject to the Bankruptcy Court's protection and 
supervision. The Company is in the process of applying for, and in some cases 
has obtained, various orders from the Bankruptcy Court intended to stabilize 
its business and minimize any disruption caused by the Filings. To date, the 
Bankruptcy Court has authorized the Company to pay certain pre-petition 
creditors including employees and key suppliers, enter into the DIP Credit 
Agreement, reject leases, engage professionals and enter into employment and 
compensation agreements, among other things. The Company will continue to 
file motions with the Bankruptcy Court as necessary and appropriate in the 
operation of its business and the administration of the bankruptcy 
proceedings.
    
   
      By law, the Company has the exclusive right to propose and file a plan 
of reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court for the 120 day period following 
the Filing Date and, if so filed, an exclusive period of up to 180 days after 
the Filing Date to solicit acceptances of such plan. The Company's exclusive 
periods would have expired on May 29, 1997 and July 28, 1997, respectively. 
The Company filed a motion, which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, to 
extend these exclusive periods to August 29, 1997 and October 30, 1997, 
respectively.
    
   

      Although the Company is authorized to operate its business as 
debtors-in-possession, it may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary 
course of business without first complying with the notice and hearing 
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval. 
The Company may rent, sell or lease its property in the ordinary course of 
business.
    
   
      An official unsecured creditors' committee has been appointed by the 
United States Trustee and is acting in the Chapter 11 cases of the Company. 
This committee (as well as other parties in interest) has the right to appear 
and be heard on applications of the Company relating to certain business 
transactions. The Company is required to pay certain expenses of the 
committee, including legal and advisory fees, to the extent allowed by the 
Bankruptcy Court.
    
   
      Pursuant to the automatic stay created under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy
Code, during a Chapter 11 case, creditors and other parties in interest may not,
without Bankruptcy Court approval, among other things: (i) commence or continue
a judicial, administrative or other proceeding against the Company (a) which was
or could have been commenced prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, or
(b) to recover a claim that arose prior to commencement of the cases; (ii)
enforce any pre-petition judgments against the Company; (iii) take any action to
obtain possession of property of the Company or to exercise control over
property of the Company or their estates; (iv) create, perfect or enforce any
lien against the property of the Company, (v) collect, assess or recover claims
against the Company that arose before the commencement of the cases; or (vi)
offset any debt owing to the Company that arose prior to the commencement of the
cases against a claim of such creditor or party-in-interest against the Company
that arose before the commencement of the cases. Consequently, the Company's
creditors are prohibited from attempting to collect pre-petition debts without
prior authorization the Bankruptcy Court. Creditors may, however, petition for
relief from the automatic stay.

                          (dollar amount in thousands)

1. Subsequent Event - (Continued)
   
      Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may elect to assume or reject real
estate leases, employment contracts, personal property leases, service contracts
and other unexpired executory pre-petition leases and contracts, subject to
Bankruptcy Court approval. Assumption of a contract requires the Company, among
other things, to cure all defaults under the contract, including payment of all
pre-petition liabilities. Rejection of a contract constitutes a breach of that
contract as of the moment immediately preceding the Chapter 11 filing and the
other party has the right to assert a general, unsecured claim against the
bankruptcy estate for damages arising out of such breach. These parties may also
seek to assert post-petition administrative claims against the Company to the
extent that the Company utilizes the collateral or services of such parties
subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 proceedings. The Company cannot
presently determine or reasonably estimate the ultimate liability which may
result from the filing of claims for all leases and contracts which may be
rejected.
    
   
      The Company must assume or reject real estate leases prior to September
30, 1997 (subject to any extensions which may be sought, if granted by the
Bankruptcy Court). The Company retains the option to assume or reject all other
employment contracts, personal property leases, service contracts and other
unexpired executory pre-petition leases and contracts (other than real estate
leases) until confirmation of a plan of reorganization. However, the parties to
executory contracts, including leases, with the Company may petition the
Bankruptcy Court to require the Company to assume or reject such contracts on a
date certain.
    

   
      As noted above, the Company, as a debtor in possession, entered into 
the DIP Credit Agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as agent, and certain 
other financial institutions (the "DIP Lenders") that provides for up to 
$200 million of post petition, debtor in possession financing (the "DIP 
Facility"). At a hearing on January 30, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court entered 
an interim order approving the DIP Facility and allowed the Company to borrow 
up to $70 million, subject to the Company entering into supply agreements 
with certain Key Vendors. This condition being satisfied, the Company 
borrowed $47 million to pay the pre-petition claims of the Key Vendors and to 
make adequate assurance payments to the pre-petition bank lenders. On 
February 19, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order approving the 
Company's DIP Facility which, by the terms of the DIP Agreement, provided 
that credit availability under the DIP Facility would increase to $100 
million. Subsequently, all $200 million of the DIP Facility became available 
for borrowing on May 1, 1997, when the Company delivered to the DIP Lenders a 
business plan satisfactory to the advisor to the DIP Lenders.
    
   
      The Company is subject to certain financial and operating restrictions 
customary to credit facilities of this type including a limitation on 
periodic capital expenditures, minimum allowable periodic EBITDA and 
retention of a turnaround professional. Additionally, the Company is required 
to make monthly interest payments to the DIP Lenders and to the lenders under 
the pre-petition $750 million credit facility. The DIP Facility bears 
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points or Base Rate plus 150 basis 
points, at the option of the Company. Loans outstanding under the DIP 
Facility are to be paid in full on January 30, 1998 provided that if on or 
before December 31, 1997 the Company (i) delivers to the Agent a 
Reorganization Plan which is in form and substance satisfactory to at least 
51% of the DIP Lenders which, among them, hold at least two-thirds of the 
Commitments under the DIP Facility and (ii) files such Reorganization Plan 
with the Bankruptcy Court, and no event of default shall be continuing then 
the final maturity of the DIP Facility shall be extended to July 31, 1998. As 
of June 30, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the DIP facility totaled $15 
million.

previously announced FCC administrative hearing.

2. Basis of Presentation
   
      The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of December 31, 1996
and for the year then ended have not been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles due to the Company's inability at the present
time to determine the amount of an impairment adjustment that would be required
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of." The Company believes that the amount of the impairment adjustment could 
be material. See Note 3.
    

      The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1996 have been
prepared on a going concern basis which assumes continuity of operations and
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business. As discussed herein, there are significant uncertainties relating to
the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary as a result of the outcome
of the uncertainties discussed herein.

   
    
3. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   The Company

      The Company provides paging services in the United Stares, including most
of the largest metropolitan areas.

   Consolidation
   

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (MobileMedia Communications of California,
Inc., MobileMedia Paging, Inc., MobileMedia DP Properties, Inc., Dial Page
Southeast, Inc., RadioCall Company of Virginia, Inc., MobileMedia PCS, Inc.,
MobileMedia Communications Corporation of America, MobileComm of Florida, Inc.,
MobileComm of Tennessee, Inc., MobileComm of the Midsouth, Inc., MobileComm
Nationwide Operations, Inc., MobileComm of the West, Inc., MobileComm of the
Northeast, Inc., MobileComm of the Southeast, Inc., MobileComm of the Southeast
Private Carrier Operations, Inc., MobileComm of the Southwest, Inc. and FWS
Radio, Inc.). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
    
   Cash Equivalents

      The Company considers all highly-liquid securities with an original
maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

   Cash Designated for the MobileComm Acquisition

      Unused proceeds of debt and stock offerings incurred for the purpose of
financing a portion of the costs of the MobileComm Acquisition (Note 4) are
presented as a long-term asset at December 31,1995 in the accompanying financial
statements.

   Concentrations of Credit Risk

      Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments
and accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments with
high-quality institutions and, by policy, limits the credit exposure to any one
institution. Although the Company faces significant credit risk from its
customers, which has been aggravated due to the Company's operating problems,
such risk does not result from a concentration of credit risk as a result of the
large number of customers which comprise the Company's customer base. The
Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support
customer receivables.

   Inventories

      The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market value, with
cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist
of pagers held specifically for resale by the Company.

                          (dollar amounts in thousands)

3. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

   Revenue Recognition

      The Company recognizes revenue under service, rent and maintenance
agreements with customers at the time the related services are performed.
Advance billings for services are deferred and recognized as revenue when
earned. The Company leases (as lessor) certain pagers under operating leases.
Substantially all of these leases are cancelable with 60 days notice. Sales of
pagers are recognized upon delivery.

   Reclassifications

      Certain 1995 financial statement items have been reclassified to conform
to the 1996 presentation. These items include the reclassification of certain
employee benefits from general and administrative expense into services, rents
and maintenance and selling expense, the reclassification of customer service
expenses from service, rents and maintenance expense into general and
administrative expense and the reclassification of income from equity affiliate
into service, rents and maintenance expense.

   Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

   Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.

      Expenditures for maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

      Upon retirement of pagers, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and the net book value, if any, is charged to
depreciation expense. Upon the sale of pagers, the net book value is charged to
costs of products sold.

      Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives:

            Pagers ............................................      4 years
            Radio transmission equipment ......................     10 years
            Computer equipment ................................      4 years
            Furniture and fixtures ............................      5 years
            Leasehold improvements ............................   1-10 years
            Buildings .........................................     30 years

   Intangible Assets

      Intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists, FCC licenses, a
non-competition agreement, software and the excess of consideration paid over
fair values of net assets acquired and are being amortized principally using the
straight-line method over periods ranging from 1 to 40 years.

3. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
   
      The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 
("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for 
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" in the year ended December 31, 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. The Company has determined that the existence 
of adverse business circumstances, such as the Company's bankruptcy, its 
operating results for the 1996 fiscal year and the uncertainty associated 
with the pending FCC proceeding, constitute indicators of impairment for 
purposes of SFAS 121, that recognition of an impairment loss may be 
appropriate and that the amount of such impairment loss could be material. At 
December 31, 1996, more than 90% of the Company's total assets constitute 
long-lived assets. The Company has concluded that, at the present time, it is 
not possible to determine the amount of impairment pursuant to the SFAS 121, 
and, accordingly, the Company's financial statements for the 1996 fiscal year 
are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
    
   Debt Issue Costs
   

      Debt issue costs, which relate to the long term debt discussed in Note 
8, are included with other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Such 
costs amounted to $26,584 at December 31, 1996 and $16,782 at December 31, 
1995 and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the 
related debt.
    
   Income Taxes

      Income taxes are accounted for by the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" (Statement No. 109).

4. Acquisitions and Divestitures

      On January 4, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of MobileComm,
BellSouth's paging and wireless messaging unit, and an associated nationwide
two-way narrowband 50/12.5 kHz PCS license, and BellSouth agreed to enter into a
two-year non-compete agreement and a five-year reseller agreement with the
Company (the "MobileComm Acquisition"). The aggregate consideration paid for the
MobileComm Acquisition (excluding fees and expenses and related financing costs)
was approximately $928,709.

      The MobileComm Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase
transaction in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 and,
accordingly, the financial statements for the periods subsequent to January 4,
1996 reflect the purchase price and transaction costs of $24,328, allocated to
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
preliminary estimated fair values as of January 4, 1996.

      On August 31, 1995, the Company purchased the paging assets and messaging
services business (the "Paging Business") of Dial Page, Inc. ("Dial Page"),
including the capital stock of two wholly-owned Dial Page subsidiaries, and
assumed certain liabilities of the Paging Business (the "Dial Page
Acquisition"). The purchase price for the Paging Business was $187,396,
comprised of cash and the assumption by the Company of the aggregate principal
amount of and accrued interest on certain indebtedness of Dial Page.

      The Company assigned its right to acquire the Paging Business to
MobileMedia DP Communications, Inc. ("MMDP"), a newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary of MobileMedia. Upon the consummation of the Dial Page Acquisition,
MobileMedia effected a merger (the "Merger") of MMDP and MobileMedia
Communications with and into MobileMedia Merger, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of MobileMedia ("Merger Sub") formed to effect the Merger. Merger Sub changed
its name to MobileMedia Communications, Inc. in the Merger. In connection with
the Dial Page Acquisition, MMDP purchased $83.4 million outstanding principal
amount of the Dial Page 12 1/4% of Senior Notes due 2000 (the "Dial Page Notes")
at a purchase price of 107.625% of their principal amount plus a consent fee
equal to an additional 1.0% of their principal amount. Upon consummation of the
Dial Page Acquisition, the remaining $1.6 million of outstanding Dial Page Notes
became obligations of MMDP. The purchase of the Dial Page Notes resulted in
approximately $90.9 million of additional borrowings under MobileMedia
Communication's $300,000 secured credit facility (the "Former Credit Facility")
(See Note 8).

   
      The Dial Page Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase 
transaction in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 
and, accordingly, the financial statements for the periods subsequent to 
August 31, 1995 reflect the purchase price, including bond tender premium and 
consent, and fees of $7,444 and transaction costs of $5,339, allocated to 
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on 
their estimated fair value as of August 31, 1995.
    
      The allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:

      Current assets ...............................  $   3,441

</TABLE>

   

    As of December 31, 1996, the funded debt obligations of the Company 
included:

1)  A $750 million senior secured and guaranteed credit agreement (the 
"Pre-Petition Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders including The 
Chase Manhattan Bank, as Agent.  As of December 31, 1996 there was $649 
million of loans outstanding under this facility consisting of two term loans 
of $137.5 million and $412.5 million and loans under a revolving credit 
facility totaling $99 million.  This agreement was entered into on December 
4, 1995, in connection with the financing of the MobileComm Acquisition.  
During a portion of 1996 and continuing subsequent to the Filings, the 
Company was in default under this agreement.  As a result of such default, 
the Company continues to have no borrowing capacity under this agreement.

    Absent the aforementioned events of default and subsequent Filings, the 
Pre-Petition Credit Agreement provided for two term loans of $412.5 million 
and $137.5 million and revolving credit loans of up to $200 million.  Loans 
under these credit facilities bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3% or ABR 
plus 2%, at the Company's option.  The terms of the Pre-petition Credit 
Agreement call for periodic interest payments through final maturity, June 
30, 2002, and for the payment of principal to commence on March 31, 1998 and 
continue on a quarterly basis, in varying amounts through June 30, 2002.

2)  In November 1995, concurrent with MobileMedia's second offering of Class 
A Common Stock (See Note 13), the Company issued $250 million Senior 
Subordinated Notes due November 1, 2007 (the "9 3/8% Notes").  These notes 
bear interest at a rate of 9 3/8% payable semiannually on May 1 and November 
1 of each year.  On November 1, 1996, the Company did not make its scheduled 
interest payment on its 9 3/8% Notes (See Note 1) which constituted an event 
of default under this indenture.  The note holders have not exercised any 
rights or remedies afforded such holders (which rights include, but are not 
limited to, acceleration of the stated maturity of the notes).  Since the 
Filings, any such right or remedy is subject to the automatic stay on 
litigation created by the Bankruptcy Code.

    Absent the aforementioned event of default, the indenture provided for 
redemption of the 9 3/8% Notes at the option of the Company, in whole or in 
part, at any time on or after November 1, 2000, at the redemption prices set 
forth in the related indenture.  Additionally, the Company is obligated to 
repurchase the 9 3/8% Notes at stated prices upon a change in control of the 
Company and the Company is also subject to certain covenants under the terms 
of the indenture that, among other things, limit its ability to incur 
indebtedness, pay dividends and sell assets.

3)  In November 1993, the Company issued, at a discount, $210,000 of Senior 
Subordinated Deferred Coupon Notes (the "Deferred Coupon Notes").  The 
Deferred Coupon Notes accrete at a rate of 10.5%, compounded semiannually, to 
an aggregate principal amount of $210,000 by December 1, 1998 after which 
interest is paid in cash at a rate of 10.5% and is payable semiannually.  By 
virtue of the missed interest payments on the 9 3/8% Notes and the 
Pre-Petition Credit Agreement an event of default has occurred under this 
indenture.  The note holders have not exercised any rights or remedies 
afforded such holders (which rights include, but are not limited to, 
acceleration of the stated maturity of the notes).  Since the Filings, any 
such right or remedy is subject to the automatic stay on litigation created 
by the Bankruptcy Code.

    Absent the aforementioned event of default, the Deferred Coupon Notes are 
redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time 
after December 1, 1998 at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.  
Additionally, the Company is obligated to repurchase the Deferred Coupon 
Notes at stated prices upon a change in control of the Company and the 
Company is also subject to certain covenants under the terms of the Indenture 
that, among other things, limit its ability to incur indebtedness, pay 
dividends and sell assets.

Interest Expense on Long Term Debt

    Interest paid during the year ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was 
$43,688, $9,828 and $3,724, respectively.  Total interest cost incurred for 
the year ended December 31, 1996 was $94,087, of which $1,292 was 
capitalized.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, total interest incurred 
was $32,994, of which $1,249 was capitalized.  Total interest cost incurred 
includes a write-off of unamortized debt issue costs of $5,400 for the year 
ended December 31, 1995.

Compliance

    As of December 31, 1996, the Company is in breach of a number of negative 
and affirmative covenants of the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement in addition to 
the default in the payment of interest due during December 1996 on the 
Pre-Petition Credit Agreement.  Additionally, in November 1996, the Company 
failed to make its semi-annual interest payment on the 9 3/8% Notes causing 
an event of default thereunder and, by virtue of a cross default provision in 
the Deferred Coupon Notes, an event of default also occurred under the 
Deferred Coupon Notes.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
                                   UNAUDITED
                         (dollar amounts in thousands)

    On June 26, 1996, in anticipation of the issuance of at least $100 
million of debt or preferred stock by MobileMedia on or before December 31, 
1996 (the "Parent Issuance"), the Banks agreed, among other things, to revise 
certain debt covenant ratios and to allow for dividend payments in respect of 
such Parent Issuance.  Due to adverse market conditions, the Parent Issuance 
did not occur during the prescribed time frame causing an event of default 
under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement.

    Additionally, since September 30, 1996, the Company has been in breach of 
certain financial covenants under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement.  Each of 
these breaches remained unwaived and uncured as of December 31, 1996 and 
therefore each constitutes an event of default under the Pre-Petition Credit 
Agreement.

    The aforementioned covenant breaches as well as defaults in the payment 
of under the Pre-Petition Credit Facility and the 9 3/8% Notes have caused 
events of default under the the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement.  In order to 
conserve cash for operations, the semi-annual interest payment on the 9 3/8% 
Notes was not made in November 1996 and in December 1996, the Company failed 
to make schedule periodic interest payments under the Pre-Petition Credit 
Agreement.

Prior Credit Agreement

    On May 4, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with The Chase 
Manhattan Bank, N.A., as agent, to provide up to $300,000 in secured credit 
facilities with a final maturity of June 2002.  The Former Credit Facility 
was guaranteed by the Company and was used to repay $76,000 in borrowings 
under the Company's former $100,000 secured credit facility and to fund the 
purchase of Federal Communications Commission licenses for a nationwide 
two-way narrowband PCS network at a purchase price of $53,670.

    

9. Related Party Transactions

   

      On February 8, 1995 MobileMedia called upon certain investors for an 
additional $25,000 of capital which was required to be contributed to the 
Company in exchange for 137,095 shares of Class A and 2,362,900 shares of 
Class B common stock at $10 per share and warrants to purchase 51,014 shares 
of Class A Common Stock. On June 13, 1995, the Company received the $25,000 
from the exercise of such call.

</TABLE>
    

   
      As of December 31, 1996, the Company has available net operating loss 
carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $209,000 which expire in 
years 2008 through 2011. Utilization of these losses may be limited under 
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

    

   

      The Company believes consummation of the public offering of 15,525,000 
shares of Class A Common Stock on November 7, 1995 caused an ownership change 
for the Company for purposes of Section 382 of the Code. As a result, the use 
of the Company's pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards will 
be limited annually by the Section 382 Limitation, which is estimated to be 
approximately $40.0 million. If a second ownership change occurred subsequent 
to November 7, 1995, which has not been determined, use of the Company's net 
operating losses would be severely limited. Furthermore, the Company's 
federal and state net operating losses may be reduced or otherwise limited as 
a result of the reorganization of the Company during bankruptcy proceedings.

      Certain facilities and equipment used in operations are held under 
operating leases. Rental expenses under operating leases were $44,574, 
$14,983 and $12,966 for years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, 
respectively. At December 31, 1996, the aggregate minimum rental commitments

12. Employee Benefit Plans

   

      As of the date of the MPS Acquisition, all employees of MPS were 
terminated. Concurrently, the Company adopted a retirement savings plan with 
open enrollment for all former employees of MPS. The plan allows for all 
employees who have been employed for one year and have at least 1,000 hours 
of credited service to contribute and defer up to 15% of his or her 
compensation. Effective February 1, 1996, the Company began a matching 
contribution of 50% of the first 2% of the elected deferral plus an additional 
25% of the next 4% of the elected deferral.

    

   

      Employees of MobileComm and Dial Page who were hired by the Company were
eligible to participate in the Company's retirement savings plan based on their
recognized MobileComm and Dial Page service date. As of the date of the
MobileComm and Dial Page Acquisitions employees with one year and at least 1,000
hours of credited service were eligible to participate.

    

13. Common Stock, Stock Option Plans and Stock Warrants

      On July 6 1995, MobileMedia issued an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock in a public offering at a price of $18.50 per share.
MobileMedia received net proceeds from the sale of approximately $137,975. In
addition, on July 25, 1995, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment
option to purchase an additional 800,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the
initial public offering price. Accordingly, MobileMedia received additional net
proceeds of $13,910 for the over-allotment shares.

      On November 13, 1995, MobileMedia issued an aggregate of 13,500,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock at a public offering price of $23.75 resulting in net
proceeds of approximately $308,755. In addition, the underwriters exercised
their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,025,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock at the public offering price resulting in additional net proceeds
of approximately $46,170.

   Non-Employee Directors

      The Company adopted a stock option plan under which options to purchase
MobileMedia Class A Common Stock will be granted to the Company's non-employee
directors. The Board has authorized a total of 700,000 shares under this plan.

      In connection with their election as directors, four individuals received
an initial option to purchase up to 28,000 shares each of Class A Common Stock
at an exercise price per share equal to $10.00. In 1995, two individuals also
received additional options to purchase up to 2,800 shares of Class A Common
Stock in 1,400 share increments at an exercise price per share equal to $10.00
and $26.38, respectively, and one individual received additional options to
purchase up to 1,400 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price per
share of $11.43. In 1996, two individuals received additional options to
purchase 2,800 shares of Class A Common Stock in 1,400 share increments at an
exercise price per of $23.50 and $1.187, respectively. All exercise prices per
share were considered to be the fair market value at the date of grant.

   

   Employees

    

   

      The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion 
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related 
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the 
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123, 
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation 
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. 
Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock 
option equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, 
no compensation expense is recognized. In light of the Company's current 
circumstances, the pro forma effect of stock compensation expense pursuant to 
SFAS No. 123 has not been calculated.

    

   

      The Company has adopted the 1993 MobileMedia Corporation Stock Option Plan
(the "Option Plan") under which options to purchase shares of MobileMedia's
Class A Common Stock may be granted to officers and key employees of the
Company. A total of 2.1 million shares are issuable under the Option Plan.

    

      Two types of options may be granted under the Option Plan: options
intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code,
and "non-qualified" stock options not specifically authorized or qualified for
favorable federal income tax treatment under the Code. The option exercise price
for incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan may not be less than
the fair market value (as defined in the Option Plan) of the Company's Class A
Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of
non-qualified stock options may be set by the Board of Directors at a discount
from fair market value.

   

      Certain current and former officers and key employees of the Company have
been granted both qualified and non-qualified options to purchase up to
1,638,230 and 1,372,683 shares of Class A Common Stock at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively, at exercise prices ranging from $6.81 to $10.00 per share.
Options exercisable at December 31, 1996 and 1995, totaled 862,926 and 714,679
shares, respectively.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

      The Company is party to a number of lawsuits and other matters arising in
the ordinary course of business.

   

      As announced in its September 27, 1996 and October 21, 1996 press 
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 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 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 "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. 

    

   

      On April 8, 1997, the FCC adopted an order (the "Order") commencing an 
administrative hearing to inquire into the qualification of the Company to 
remain a licensee. The Order directed an administrative law judge (an "ALJ") 
to take evidence and develop a full factual record on issues concerning the 
Company's filing of false forms and applications in connection with its 
applications for paging licenses. While the Order initiated a fact finding 
and evaluative hearing process to gather information with which to make a 
decision, this decision would not be a final disposition of the FCC's action.

    

      On April 23, 1997, the Company filed a motion with the FCC seeking a 
stay of the hearing proceedings instituted by the Order. The motion discussed 
the consequences of a grant and a denial of the motion to the Company and its 
debt and equity holders. On May 2, 1997, the ALJ denied the Company's motion 
for stay. The Company then appealed the ALJ's decision. On June 6, 1997 the 
FCC issued an order staying the hearing proceeding. The FCC order stays the 
hearing for ten months in order for the Company to develop and consummate a 
plan of reorganization that provides for a change of control of the Company 
and thus a transfer of the Company's FCC licenses. Under the order, which is 
based on an FCC doctrine known as Second Thursday, 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 and the 
hearing will not proceed.

14. Commitments and Contingencies - (Continued)

   

      The Company is permitted to operate their licensed facilities and 
provide service to the public during the pendency of the hearing proceeding. 
The Company cannot be certain of the outcome of the process initiated by the 
FCC's action. An adverse outcome of this proceeding could result in the loss 
of the Company's licenses or substantial monetary fines, or both. Any such 
outcome would have a material adverse effect on the company's financial 
condition and results of operations.

    

      Two securities class action lawsuits, seeking damages in an unspecified
amount, are currently pending in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey against the Company and several other defendants. The
first, Civil Action No. 96-4715 (JWB), is a consolidated class action on behalf
of purchasers of the Common Stock of the Company between August 1995 and October
1996 alleging claims arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a
result of allegedly false and misleading statements or omissions in public
statements made by the Company. The case is a consolidation of four class action
lawsuits brought against the Company and various individuals between October
1996 and December 1996.

      The second class action lawsuit, Civil Action No. 96-5723 (JWB), alleges
claims arising under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933
as a result of allegedly false and misleading statements or omissions in
offering documents distributed pursuant to the secondary offering of the
Company's Common Stock and 9 3/8% Notes in November 1995. These actions carry
with them the possibility of additional actions against the Company for
indemnification or contribution.

      Like other pending legal proceedings, these suits have been "stayed" by
the Filings as to the Company. If the plaintiffs were to obtain relief from the
automatic stay, or if the Company emerges from bankruptcy with the suits
unresolved, the Company will defend these suits vigorously. Nevertheless, there
can be no assurance that, if adversely determined, the suits would not have an
adverse effect upon the financial condition of the Company.

      Three former employees have agreements which provide an incentive payment
of up to $300 to each of them if the Company's EBITDA (excluding operations of
businesses acquired after MPS) for 1996 equals or exceeds $82,200 subject to
certain adjustments (the "1996 Target"), and of up to $1,000 to each of them if
the Company's EBITDA for 1998 (excluding operations of businesses acquired after
MPS) equals or exceeds $125,100, subject to certain adjustments (the "1998
Target"). Two current and three former employees have agreements which provide
for incentive payments of up to $150 to each of them if the Company (excluding
operations of businesses acquired after MPS) meets the 1996 Target and of up to
$300 to each of them if the Company (excluding operations of businesses acquired
after MPS) meets the 1998 Target.

15. Other Investments

      On March 21, 1995, the Company purchased a 33% interest in Abacus
Communications Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, from Abacus
Business Services, Inc. for $1,641. Abacus Communications Partners, L.P., is the
Company's exclusive alphanumeric dispatch services provider. The investment has
been accounted for under the equity method in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 18. Under the equity method, original investments
are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company's share of undistributed
earnings or losses of the purchased company. The Company's share of income of
affiliate for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $210.
