The company reported sales of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of 64% from $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Net loss applicable to common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $2.2 million, or $ 0.25 per fully diluted share compared to a loss of $ 3.8 million, or $ 1.23 per fully diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

All references in this release to per share amounts have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock split for all periods presented. "In October we launched our new digital download business with our first major offering, Soundsgood.com. We have begun a national promotion as the exclusive bookseller of the Imus in the Morning program, which airs on approximately 90 radio stations and MSNBC Television across the United States" said Jeff Dittus CEO of MediaBay. "This national radio and television promotion, the beginning of a significant on-line advertising campaign across the major search engines and our other marketing initiatives to convert our 2.9 million customer file to download customers have begun to build traffic on Soundsgood." More significantly, we are on the eve of our launch with MSN music and another large digital retailer with a co-branded audio store offering which we believe will drive significant traffic so we can capture market share. According to the Audio Publishers Association, the billion dollar Audiobook market is the fastest growing segment of the publishing industry, and according to our estimates, only 4% of this industry is through digital distribution. We believe our industry is in its infancy and digital distribution will take a much larger percentage of the retail market in the coming years. The technology that powers the Soundsgood.com download store and subscription service is also the back bone of our private label offering that will run these and other co-branded storefronts. After a significant planning, development and digitization process, we now have a state of the art audiobook download service and a growing backlog of interested partners. These include many of the large windows media retailers of music as well as cell phone carriers that want to offer our spoken word content to their communities."
