ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of
Operations may be deemed to include forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risk and
uncertainty, including financial, regulatory environment and trend projections,
estimated costs to complete or possible future revenues from the Company's
expansion plans, the likelihood of successful completion of such plans, as well
as any statements preceded by, followed by, or that include the words "intends,"
"estimates," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "should," "could," or similar
expressions; and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are
not historical facts. Although the Company believes that its expectations are
based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations
will be achieved. The important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward- looking statements below (the
"Cautionary Statements") include, without limitation: (1) the ability of the
Company to continue its national rollout of its service bureaus; (2) the ability
of the Company to market its suite of telecommunications connectivity services
to small and medium size businesses in its service areas; (3) the effects of
vigorous competition in the markets in which the Company operates; (4) the
impact of technological change on the Company's businesses, new entrants and
alternative technologies in the Company's business; (5) regulatory risks,
including the impact of the Telecommunications Act of 1996; (6) the impact of
competitive services and pricing; (7) risks associated with debt service
requirements and interest rate fluctuations; and (8) other risks referenced from
time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1999. All subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its
behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.
The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions
to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.



The following discussion and analysis relates to the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
and 1999. The information should be read in conjunction with the "Management's
Discussion and Analysis" and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
contained herein and in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.


OVERVIEW


Select Media is a New York corporation whose common stock is currently traded in
the "pink sheets" under the symbol "SMTV.OB." Select Media began in the business
of producing and distributing "vignettes," which are short-form (thirty-second)
informational

<PAGE>   13

programs distributed by particular sponsors for viewing during regular
programming. In 1998, Select Media hired personnel to provide services to
worldwide news broadcasters and act as a television news agency under the name
"Select International Television Network" ("SITN") to produce and distribute
news segments for sale to local and foreign news broadcasters. Because of an
inability to use studio space in a new facility, SITN's business is now limited
to distributing news segments produced by others. In general, in the period
covered by this report, the Company's sources of revenues consisted of revenues
from the distribution of video news releases and from its international news
division. Resale of advertising airtime has never constituted a major source of
the Company's revenues.



In the period from the Company's bankruptcy filing in October 1996 until
September 1998, the Company was essentially dormant. In 1999, the Company was
dependent upon one major customer (General Motors Corporation) for over 35% of
its revenues, most of which were received in the first six months of the year.
Beginning in the fall of 1999, the Company began its restructuring and moved its
offices. In the period covered by this report, the Company has had minimal
revenues as it has focused on restructuring its business and acquiring Sigma and
AHP (described below). In the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company has not
been dependent on any major customers, and does not reasonably foresee any such
dependence for the balance of the current year.



In January 2000, Select Media repositioned itself as the owner of entertainment
content providers whose product can be marketed through traditional media and
over the Internet. In January 2000, Select Media purchased all the outstanding
stock of Sigma Sound Services, Inc. ("Sigma"). Sigma is a full service recording
studio that provides services to record companies, independent artists and
record producers. In March 2000, Select Media purchased contracts and other
assets of After Hours Productions, Inc. ("AHP"), along with the AHP name (the
"AHP Acquisition"). AHP creates custom music and video products. The Sigma
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the AHP Acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase of contracts. See Financial Statements and notes to
Financial Statements.


COMPETITION


Select Media faces competition from some of the largest entertainment companies
in the United States. It is difficult to estimate the size of the vignette
market. The Company is not aware of any other reporting companies involved in
the vignette business. The Company believes that competition in its business
comes not from other producers of vignettes, but from other users of scarce
airtime. One of the most significant developments in the broadcast television
industry in the 1990's has been the growth of alternative broadcast networks,
such as Fox, WB and UPN. Before this development, television stations that were
not affiliates of the three major television networks (CBS, NBC and ABC) were
independent local stations, each of which had substantial amounts of airtime to
sell to the Company and its customers. Today, most formerly independent stations
are affiliated with one of the new networks. As a result, the network, in
exchange for providing programming, gets to sell a significant portion of the
affiliate's broadcast airtime. Therefore, the affiliate has less airtime to sell
itself. Scarcity of a commodity tends to increase the price. As a result, the
cost of airtime has dramatically increased.

The entertainment market is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive.
Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross
margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm Select
Media's net sales and results of operations. Select Media expects competition to
intensify in the future as additional distribution channels for entertainment
product are opened. In particular, Select Media believes that the use of the
Internet for distribution of entertainment product is both an opportunity and a
challenge. With so many entertainment choices, Select Media faces the challenge
of adapting its core business to Internet entertainment. Select Media expects
that its acquisition of content providers will enable it to adapt to the
Internet entertainment challenge, because Select Media believes that Internet
technology is developing faster than content can be produced. Although the
technology exists to provide a rich entertainment experience via the Internet,
Select Media believes that there is not sufficient high quality content
available for users. Select media intends to provide that content.



In line with this strategy, in 2000 Select Media acquired Sigma and AHP. Select
Media has also signed a letter of intent to purchase all the assets and
liabilities of Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse has the ability to create entertainment
content for broadcast, cable and Internet and to adapt existing product for use
as Internet content.


MARKET STRATEGY


Select Media markets its remaining vignette products to large advertisers
directly to the marketing departments of these companies. Select Media uses its
own internal staff for such marketing. Select Media is developing vignettes for
radio, and is developing a form of vignette for on-line advertising. The cost of
advertising airtime has the greatest impact on whether the Company can sell its
vignette product. For each airing of a vignette, the customer has to purchase
sufficient airtime to broadcast both the vignette and the customer's own
advertisement. The greater the cost of airtime, the higher the cost to the
customer. The Company only resells airtime to its vignette customers to air
vignettes. The Company is not in the business of reselling airtime to third
parties.


Sigma markets its services directly through its principals. Sigma and AHP have
also produced compilation albums sold through home shopping channels, direct
response television and direct mail.


Select Media intends to create its own web site on the Internet for sale of
Select Media, Sigma and AHP custom product.



The website development is in the planning stage and completion of this project
is contingent upon available funding.



The Company has its Internet distribution system under development. The Company
is in discussion with

<PAGE>   15

another entity for sales of compact disks ("CDs") directly over the Internet to
consumers, but has not entered into any firm agreement or understandings as of
yet. However, the Company does not intend implement any downloadable music
distribution strategy until issues of copyright protection and payment are
standardized in the industry.



Select Media has 11 full time and 2 part time employees and during the period
covered by this report, operated a facility at 666 Third Avenue, New York, New
York, which was used as the principal corporate office and the site of its
studio facilities. As a result of the Sigma acquisition, Select Media also
leases a sound recording studio facility at North 12th Street in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.

</TABLE>



Before the Sigma acquisition, Select Media's net revenues were derived mainly
from the sales of vignettes, video press releases and SITN. In the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, net revenues decreased by $616,506, or 79%, to $164,217 from
$780,723 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in net revenues
during the first quarter of 2000 was primarily attributable to the end of the
video press release contract with General Motors Corporation, the Company's
focusing on the Sigma and AHP acquisitions and a significant decline in revenues
from its international news operations because of the inability to use studio
space in its new facility. Select Media expects SITN revenues in the coming year
to be significantly lower than 1999 levels.


GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs associated with studio time and
transmission of signal for SITN and with producing vignettes and video press
releases and marketing the finished product, including scriptwriting, filming,
salaries and post-production processing and editing. The resulting gross profit
<PAGE>   17

fluctuates based on factors such as salary expense, editing and marketing.
Re-use of vignettes and portions thereof increases profits. Gross margin
decreased to 27.3% in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to 54% in the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decrease during the quarter ended March 31,
2000 was primarily due to the inability to use studio space in its new facility,
plus costs of integrating the Sigma and AHP acquisitions. The Company currently
expects gross margins during 2000 to be lower than 1999 levels. In the current
year, the Company expects the Sigma acquisition to have a positive effect on
both revenues and gross margin.


EXPENSES


Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,785,416 in the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 compared with $782,883 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999,
for an increase of $1,002,533, or 128.1%. This increase was attributable to
expenses for the expansion of the Company's business and relocation of the
Company's offices, as well as the costs associated with the Sigma and AHP
acquisitions, including payroll and professional fees. The Company also incurred
a non-recurring stock based compensation expense of $33,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000.

LOSSES


The Company incurred losses from operations of $(1,773,571) in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 compared to $(361,454) in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, for
an increase of $(1,412,117) or 390.7%. The increase in losses was due primarily
to the end of the General Motors contract for video press releases, a decrease
in SITN business caused by its inability to use its studio space in the
Company's new facility, the expenses of the Sigma and AHP acquisitions and a
non-recurring stock based compensation expense of $(33,000) in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, caused by issuances of stock to two of the Company's employees.
At that time, the Company did not have the cash resources to pay these persons
to remain with the Company. Net other expenses were $(31,295) in the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 and $(15,603) in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, for an
increase of $(15,692) or 100.6%.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Select Media has significant capital needs, which to date Select Media has met
through private sales of its equity and loans. Select Media will continue to
need substantial infusions of capital, which it expects to continue to fund
primarily from private sales of its equity, loans, or by a public offering of
its equity or debt securities. In October 1999, Select Media sold 4,500,000
shares of common stock for $0.22 per share. Select Media has received a
commitment from Lloyds Bahamas Securities, LTD ("Lloyds") for $2 million in
additional

<PAGE>   18

financing for the year 2000 and is continuing in efforts to increase capital
resources. Of the $2 million additional committed financing, the Company has
received $1,429,000 in the form of convertible notes in 2000 by March 31, 2000,
part of which was used in the Sigma and AHP acquisitions.

<PAGE>   19

  The notes convert into shares of restricted common stock at $0.50 per share at
Lloyds' option. Sales of common stock by the Company at less than the current
trading price could tend to depress prices in the pink sheet market. Together
with anticipated revenue, the Company estimates that this funding will be
sufficient to fund the Company's business plan until March 2001. The Company has
received a separate commitment from Lloyds for an additional $2 million in
financing once the Company's common stock is relisted on the OTC Bulletin Board.



The Company has also received a non-binding letter of intent from Bryn Mawr
Investment Group, Inc. to provide up to $10 million in financing to the Company
through private or public offerings of securities, to be used for working
capital and acquisitions.



The Company anticipates that its sales plus the $2,000,000 in financing will
enable the Company to operate for the next twelve (12) months. None of the
Company's committed or proposed financing is contingent on removing the "going
concern" language from the Company's audit report.



                            PART II-OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.


         In November, 1999, 405 Lexington, L.L.C. (the "Landlord") began an
action in New York City Landlord-Tenant Court alleging that Select Media had
breached its lease and seeking the payment of use and occupancy. The Landlord is
seeking up to $600,000 in additional payments based on an alleged breach of the
lease. The Company is defending this action and believes the allegations of the
Landlord are without merit. On a motion by the Company, this action has been
consolidated with the Supreme Court Action discussed in the following paragraph.



         In May, 2000, Select Media began an action in New York Supreme Court
against the Landlord seeking an injunction to permit completion of the build-out
of the studios to be used for SITN and surrounding space in its leased premises,
the release of $706,880 of Landlord's contributions toward build-out already
completed and for damages in excess of $10 million for loss of the SITN
business. On a motion by Select Media, the Court has consolidated this action
with the Landlord-Tenant Court action. The Court has ordered discovery in this
action beginning November 20, 2000.
