been engaged in developing PC-based proprietary communications software
technology to be utilized by consumers for online entertainment purposes. The
Company's first service being offered to subscribers is the You Bet Network, an
interactive online horseracing network that is broadcast over the Company's
virtual private network.

    During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company determined it had
successfully completed the development stage by incurring revenues of over
$1,000,000 since the beginning of the year. Accordingly, the Company is no
longer in the development stage and is now in the operating stage.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of
management of the Company, contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly
the financial position at June 30, 1999, the results of operations for the six
months and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, and the cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999. These adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The results of operations for the six months and three months
ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.

    Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of
the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these financial
statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not
misleading. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

LOSS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share are calculated by dividing net loss by the basic shares outstanding
and all dilutive securities, including stock options, warrants, convertible
notes and preferred stock, but does not include the impact of potential common
shares which would be antidilutive.

    For all periods presented, potential dilutive securities were not included
in the earnings per share calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for all periods presented.

                    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1999
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2--NOTES PAYABLE

    On April 5, 1999, the Company issued $45,500,000 principal amount of 11%
Senior Convertible Discount Notes for cash proceeds of $36,728,510, which
represents a discount of 11% per year, compounded semi-annually, to April 5,
2001. The Company incurred approximately $1,625,000 of costs related to this
offering and issued 50,000 warrants exercisable at $10.00 per share as a
finder's fee. These warrants had an aggregate fair value of $352,000. The Notes
begin accruing interest on April 5, 2001 at 11% per year, payable semi-annually.
Principal and unpaid interest are due and payable on April 5, 2004. The Notes
plus accrued, unpaid interest are convertible at any time at the rate of $10 per
common share. Based on a valuation report prepared by an investment and merchant
banking firm dated April 28, 1999, the Company has determined that the Notes
conversion price at $10.00 per share was at fair market value. Accordingly, the
Company will recognize a charge to operations of $352,000 over the five year
maturity period, with a corresponding credit to paid-in capital. The notes also
contain customary financial covenants and restrictions limiting the ability of
the Company to engage in certain financings, other transactions and dividend
distributions.

NOTE 5--SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS

    During the three months ended June 30, 1999 the Company's Board of
Directors, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved
the payment of performance based bonuses to Fell & Company, Inc., David
Marshall, Inc., and Russell M. Fine based on the Company's achievement of
certain milestones. At June 30, 1999, two of the four milestones were met by the
Company through the placement of the convertible note and the June public
offering. As such, Fell & Company, Inc. had earned bonuses totaling $420,000
which were applied against a note receivable due from the Robert M. Fell Living
Trust. David Marshall, Inc. and Russell M. Fine had earned bonuses totaling
$150,000 each, which were accrued at June 30, 1999. These bonuses have been
charged to operations. If the remaining milestones are achieved the Company
would grant Fell & Company, Inc. additional bonuses of $140,000 and David
Marshall, Inc. and Russell M. Fine will receive additional bonuses of $150,000
each.

NOTE 6--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    On June 4, 1999, a complaint was filed against Youbet.com in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County entitled Georg
Von Opel v. Youbet.com Inc. (C.A. No. 17200 NC). In the complaint Mr. Von Opel
alleges that Youbet.com breached its obligation to register the shares of common
stock underlying 400,000 warrants issued by Youbet.com to an affiliate of Mr.
Von Opel. The complaint seeks specific performance of the alleged obligation to
register such shares and damages for alleged breach of contract in the amount of
$8.7 million. Youbet.com filed its answer to the complaint on July 15, 1999.
Youbet.com intends to defend itself vigorously in the action. Among other
things, Mr. Von Opel executed a letter on February 24, 1998 which Youbet.com
contends effected a waiver of such registration rights. As the litigation is in
an initial stage, Youbet.com cannot predict its outcome, although if the claim
is determined adversely to Youbet.com, it could have a material adverse effect
on Youbet.com.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS OF YOUBET.COM, INC. SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS 10-QSB. THIS
DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. YOUBET.COM'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE
ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

OVERVIEW

    Youbet.com intends to establish itself as the leading global brand name for
online live event wagering. Youbet.com has initially focused its efforts
primarily on the United States horse track racing industry and believes that its
principal product, the You Bet Network, is currently the only legal system
available for online wagering in the United States. Youbet.com believes that
online communication is an ideal medium for live event wagering. First, online
communication allows bettors instant access to vast amounts of historical
performance data used in assessing potential wagers. Second, online
communication offers the ability to sort and analyze such data in ways and at
speeds that are unachievable manually. Third, online communication technology
allows wagers to be placed from virtually any location within a jurisdiction
where wagering is legal, thus freeing bettors from traditional site-specific
wagering locations. In addition, the speed of electronic communication allows
wagers to be placed and acknowledged in seconds.

    Youbet.com's initial product, the You Bet Network, is a PC-based system
which utilizes the infrastructure of the Internet and a closed-loop private
network with Internet access to provide up-to-the minute detailed information on
races taking place at horse tracks nationwide. Youbet.com also delivers a live
simulcast of most of these races directly to the subscriber's computer. In
addition, subscribers can use the You Bet Network to transmit information and
thereby facilitate wagers, using the system's icon-driven menus to fill out an
electronic betting ticket with a brief series of mouse-clicks. The information
is then transmitted electronically to a licensed account wagering entity,
currently Mountain Laurel Racing, Inc., and Washington Trotting Association,
Inc., both of which are subsidiaries of Ladbroke USA (collectively "Ladbroke").
Ladbroke accepts and processes the wager from its hub in Pennsylvania. After
processing the wager, Ladbroke sends an electronic confirmation to the bettor
through the You Bet Network. The round-trip time from information submission to
acknowledgment is usually less than three seconds.

    Youbet.com currently derives revenue from the You Bet Network in three ways.
First, it charges a monthly subscription fee, currently $5.95 per month. Second,
it receives a fee from Ladbroke equal to fifty percent (50%) of the net
commissions to Ladbroke derived from wagers placed by Youbet.com subscribers.
Third, it receives revenue from the sale of handicapping information.

    Since mid-1995, Youbet.com has been engaged in developing the You Bet
Network, its first service being offered to subscribers. Youbet.com has incurred
substantial software development costs since inception, which have been charged
to operations as research and development costs. Management believes that the
technological feasibility of Youbet.com's proprietary software technology has
been established.

    During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, Youbet.com determined it had
successfully completed the development stage by incurring revenues of over
$1,000,000 since the beginning of the year. Accordingly, Youbet.com is no longer
in the development stage and is now in the operating stage.

    Youbet.com has expanded its operations in recent years and has grown to 69
employees at June 30, 1999. Youbet.com expects to add additional personnel in
the United States and plans to commence operations internationally and add
personnel as operations expand. Youbet.com currently expects to significantly
increase its operating expenses in order to grow its sales and marketing
operations, expand in international markets and upgrade and enhance its service
and technologies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED

    JUNE 30, 1998

    REVENUES

    Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $733,000, of which
$642,000 represented Youbet.com's commission on the gross amount of each wager
placed by its subscribers. The remaining revenue included $66,000 from
subscription fee revenue as Youbet.com commenced charging a monthly subscription
fee to its subscribers in February 1999, and $25,000 from information revenue as
Youbet.com began charging subscribers for handicapping information in April,
1999.

    OPERATING EXPENSES

    NETWORK OPERATIONS.  Network operations costs consist primarily of salaries
and costs to support the private network. Network operations costs increased by
$304,000 or 166.6% to $486,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from
$182,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 reflecting the continued
development and expansion of the You Bet Network. Youbet.com expects network
operations costs to increase significantly as the You Bet Network expands to
support the growth in subscribers.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development costs consist primarily
of salaries. Research and development costs increased by $252,000 or 72.3% to
$600,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $348,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. This increase resulted from payment of $150,000 in
performance bonuses and the hiring of developers and continued development of
the Youbet network. Youbet.com will continue to invest in the development of the
You Bet Network, which Youbet.com believes is critical to achieving its
strategic objectives and, as a result, expects research and development costs to
increase significantly in future periods.

    SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
marketing program expense and salaries. Sales and marketing expenses increased
by $456,000 or 85.4% to $991,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from
$535,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in sales and
marketing reflects the expansion of Youbet.com's marketing activities as the
Youbet Network did not launch until the third quarter of 1998. Marketing
activities during the current quarter were concentrated on the rollout of direct
mailing campaigns, including the mailing of CD's to potential subscribers.
Youbet.com expects sales and marketing expenses to increase significantly to
brand the You Bet Network, grow its subscriber base, hire additional sales and
marketing personnel and expand internationally.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses consist
principally of salaries, facilities expenses, legal and accounting and investor
relations. General and administrative expenses increased by $176,000 or 22.4% to
$959,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $783,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The increase resulted primarily from payment of
$150,000 in performance bonuses. Youbet.com expects that general and
administrative expenses will increase in future periods as it hires additional
personnel to provide for the growth of the business.

    NON-CASH COMPENSATION.  Non-cash compensation relates to the recording of
the fair value of warrants and stock options charged to the period of benefit.
Non-cash compensation decreased $686,000 or 45.1% to $836,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $1,522,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The decrease resulted from fewer warrants and options being issued during
the current fiscal year, offset by recognition of $420,000 in performance
bonuses. In lieu of payment, the bonuses were applied against a $560,000 note
receivable. Youbet.com expects that these non-cash compensation costs will
continue as it issues additional warrants and stock options and amortizes the
deferred costs associated with these transactions.

                                       14

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

    NET INTEREST EXPENSE.  Net interest expense increased by $348,000 or 200.6%
to $522,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $174,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in net interest expense is
due to the issuance in April 1999 of $45.5 million of 11% Senior Convertible
Discount Notes. However, Youbet.com will not pay cash interest thereon until
October 2001. The net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998
is the result of advances and bridge loans being outstanding during the period
that were subsequently converted to common stock during the third quarter ended
September 30, 1998. Youbet.com expects interest expense to increase
significantly in 1999 as a result of the issuance of the 11% Senior Convertible
Discount Notes.

    FAIR VALUE OF WARRANTS ISSUED FOR FINANCING COSTS.  Fair value of warrants
issued for financing costs decreased by $417,000 or 47.2% to $466,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $883,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. The 1998 expense resulted from warrants issued during 1997, with
the related expense amortized during 1997 and 1998. The 1999 expense of $466,000
resulted primarily from issuance of warrants to Station Casinos, Inc.

    REVENUES

    Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $1,194,000, of which

1999.

marketing reflects the expansion of Youbet.com's marketing activities as the You
Bet Network did not launch until the third quarter of 1998. Marketing activities
during 1999 have focused on the rollout of direct mailing campaigns, including
the mailing of CD's to potential subscribers. Youbet.com expects sales and

1999 from $1,226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase

in personnel related costs, legal and accounting fees, and general operating
activity. Youbet.com expects that general and administrative expenses will
increase in future periods as it hires additional personnel to provide for the
growth of the business.

    NON-CASH COMPENSATION.  Non-cash compensation relates to the recording of
the fair value of warrants and stock options charged to the period of benefit.
Non-cash compensation decreased $1,252,000 or 45.6% to $1,493,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $2,745,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. The decrease resulted from fewer warrants and options being issued during
the current fiscal year, offset by recognition of $420,000 in performance

to $504,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $243,000 for the

issued for financing costs decreased by $778,000 or 62.6% to $466,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1,244,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. The 1998 expense resulted from warrants issued during 1997, with
the related expense amortized during 1997 and 1998. The 1999 expense of $466,000
resulted primarily from issuance of warrants to Station Casinos, Inc.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Youbet.com has financed its operations primarily through the sale of its
securities and issuance of debt. Youbet.com finalized two significant
transactions during the quarter ending June 30, 1999, as follows:

    In April 1999, Youbet.com issued $45,500,000 principal amount of 11% Senior
Convertible Discount Notes for cash proceeds of $36,728,510 (generating net
proceeds of approximately $35,103,000), which represents a discount of 11% per
year, compounded semi-annually to April 2001. The notes begin accruing interest
in April 2001 at 11% per year, payable semi-annually. Principal and unpaid
interest are due and payable on April 5, 2004.

    In June, 1999, Youbet.com sold 2,863,582 shares of common stock in a
secondary public offering at an offering price of $14 per share, for cash
proceeds of $37,283,838 (generating net proceeds of approximately $36,087,000).
In addition, warrant holders sold an additional 654,275 shares upon the exercise
of warrants, generating additional net proceeds to the Company of $2,153,553.

    During January and February 1999, Youbet.com received $2,100,000 from stock
subscription receivables, resulting from the sale of common stock and Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock during December, 1998. During January 1999,
Youbet.com sold 100,000 shares of common stock to a private investor for a cash
purchase price of $2.50 per share, resulting in proceeds to Youbet.com of
$250,000. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, Youbet.com issued 373,725
shares of common stock in conjunction with the exercise of warrants and stock
options with exercise prices ranging from $2.50 to $5.25, generating net
proceeds to Youbet.com of $988,000.

    At June 30, 1999 Youbet.com had $75,245,089 in cash. Youbet.com's principal
commitments consist of the aforementioned Senior Convertible Discount Notes and
obligations under capital leases.

    Net cash used in operating activities was $2,195,000 and $2,739,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The principal use of cash
was to fund losses from operations. The decrease in the net cash used in
operating activities was the result of the deferral of payment of expenses
associated with the debt financing and equity placement.

    Net cash used in investing activities was $556,000 and $139,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, for purchases of property and
equipment. The increase was the primary result of purchases of computer
equipment to support the growth of Youbet.com.

    Net cash provided by financing activities was $76,455,000 and $7,644,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase was the
result of the aforementioned debt and equity transactions.

    Youbet.com does not currently have any material commitments for capital
expenditures. However, Youbet.com anticipates that it will experience a
substantial increase in capital expenditures and lease commitments consistent
with Youbet.com's anticipated growth in operations and infrastructure, including
various capital expenditures associated with the expansion of operations into
foreign markets. Youbet.com anticipates that it will continue to experience
significant growth in its operating expenses for the foreseeable future and that
these expenses will be a material use of cash resources. Youbet.com believes
that its existing cash will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for
working capital and capital expenditures at least for the next twelve months.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000

    The year 2000 risk is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Computer
programs that have sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000. As a result, computer systems and/or
software used by many companies and governmental agencies may need to be
upgraded to comply with year 2000 requirements or risk system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of normal business activities.

    STATE OF READINESS

    Based on an internal assessment, Youbet.com believes that its software
programs, both those developed internally and purchased from material outside
vendors, are year 2000 compliant or will be by December 31, 1999. Youbet.com
began assessing its state of year 2000 readiness during October 1998. This
included reviewing the year 2000 compliance of the following:

    - Youbet.com's internally developed proprietary software incorporated in the
      You Bet Network

    - Ladbroke's pool wagering and other software

    - Third party handicapping information suppliers

    - Third-party software vendors

    Youbet.com will continue to require its vendors of material hardware and
software to provide assurances of their year 2000 compliance.

    COSTS

    To date, Youbet.com has incurred approximately $25,000 of costs in
identifying and evaluating year 2000 compliance issues. Most of Youbet.com's
expenses have related to, and are expected to continue to relate to, the
operating costs associated with time spent by employees in the evaluation of
year 2000 compliance matters. At this time, Youbet.com does not possess the
information necessary to estimate the

                                       17
<PAGE>
potential costs of future revisions to software relating to the You Bet Network
should revisions be required or the replacement of third-party software,
hardware or services, if any, that are determined to not be year 2000 compliant.
Although Youbet.com believes that its software programs, both developed
internally and purchased from outside vendors are either already year 2000
compliant or will be by December 31, 1999, failure to identify non year 2000
compliant software could have a material and adverse effect on Youbet.com's
business, results of operations and financial condition.

    RISKS

    Youbet.com is not currently aware of any significant year 2000 compliance
problems relating to the You Bet Network or other software systems that would
have a material and adverse effect on business, results of operations and
financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that Youbet.com will not
discover year 2000 compliance problems in its proprietary software or other
third party software that will require a substantial investment to correct.
Youbet.com's inability to fix such hardware or software on a timely basis could
result in lost revenues, increased operating costs and other business
interruptions, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on
Youbet.com's business, results of operations and financial condition.

    Failure to adequately address year 2000 compliance issues in Youbet.com's
proprietary software or third party software could result in claims of
mismanagement, misrepresentation or breach of contract and related litigation,
which could be costly and time-consuming to defend. In addition, there can be no
assurance that utility companies, Internet network companies, Internet access
companies, third-party service providers and others outside Youbet.com's control
will be year 2000 compliant. The failure by these entities to be year 2000
compliant could result in a systemic failure beyond Youbet.com's control,
including, for example, a prolonged Internet, telecommunications or electrical
failure, which could also prevent Youbet.com from providing subscribers access
to the You Bet Network or other value added handicapping services any of which
would have a material and adverse effect on Youbet.com's business, results of
operations and financial condition.

    CONTINGENCY PLAN

    Although Youbet.com continues to evaluate its software for possible year
2000 compliance issues, Youbet.com believes that its software programs, both
those developed internally and purchased from material outside vendors, are
already year 2000 compliant or will be by December 31, 1999. Therefore,
Youbet.com does not have a formal contingency plan for a major year 2000
problem. Youbet.com's inability to locate or correct a significant year 2000
problem, if one exists, could result in an interruption in, or a failure of,
certain normal business activities or operations. In addition, year 2000
problems may affect sub-systems of the You Bet Network, such as the ability to
provide value added handicapping information. Any such failure could cause
Youbet.com's subscribers to seek alternate providers for online wagering. This
could require Youbet.com to incur significant unanticipated expenses to remedy
and could divert Youbet.com's management's time and attention, either of which
could have a material and adverse effect on business, results of operation and
financial condition.

                                    PART II.
                               OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    On June 4, 1999, a complaint was filed against Youbet.com in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County entitled Georg
Von Opel v. Youbet.com, Inc. (C.A. No. 17200 NC). In the complaint Mr. Von Opel
alleges that Youbet.com breached its obligation to register the shares of common
stock underlying 400,000 warrants issued by Youbet.com to an affiliate of Mr.
Von Opel. The complaint seeks specific performance of the alleged obligation to
register such shares and damages for alleged breach of contract in the amount of
$8.7 million. Youbet.com filed its answer to the complaint on July 15, 1999.
Youbet.com intends to defend itself vigorously in the action. Among other
things, Mr. Von Opel executed a letter on February 24, 1998 which Youbet.com
contends effected a waiver of such registration rights. As the litigation is in
an initial stage, Youbet.com cannot predict its outcome, although if the claim
is determined adversely to Youbet.com, it could have a material adverse effect
on Youbet.com.
