             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
          FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND MARCH 31, 2001



(1) FORMATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

FORMATION

    ACME Communications, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on July 23, 1999, in
preparation for and in conjunction with an initial public offering of its stock.

    On September 27, 1999, the Board of Advisors of ACME Television Holdings,
LLC and its members and the Board of Directors of the Company and its
stockholder approved a merger and reorganization (the "Reorganization"), whereby
the Company became the direct parent of ACME Television Holdings. As a result of
the Reorganization, the Company is the ultimate parent of ACME Intermediate
Holdings, LLC, ("ACME Intermediate") and its wholly-owned subsidiary ACME
Television, LLC. All transactions contemplated as part of The Reorganization
closed on October 5, 1999.


DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

    ACME Communications is a holding company with no independent operations
other than its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, ACME Television. ACME
Television, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns and operates the
following ten commercially licensed broadcast television stations located
throughout the United States:

(2) PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the Company refer to
ACME Communications, Inc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Segment information
is not presented because all of the Company's revenues are attributed to a
single reportable segment -- television broadcasting.

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
the instructions to this Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the
opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair
presentation of the financial position and the results of operations, and cash
flows for these periods. As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange


                                       8

Commission, these financials statements do not include all disclosures and
footnotes normally included with annual consolidated financial statements, and
accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2001. The results of operations
presented in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2001.

(3) LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

    The Company calculates loss per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128
requires a presentation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS.
Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from securities that
could share in the earnings of the Company, similar to fully diluted EPS under
APB No. 15. In calculating diluted EPS, no potential shares of common stock are
to be included in the computation when a loss from continuing operations
available to common stockholders exists. The statement requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS by entities with complex capital
structures.

     Stock options outstanding amounting to 3,260,391 shares at March 31, 2001,
were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have
been antidilutive.
