ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

On May 9, 2006, Audible, Inc. (“Audible” or the “Company”) announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 and certain other information. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Audible uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net (loss) income, and non-GAAP earnings (net loss) per diluted share. Non-GAAP figures exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expenses. Audible’s reference to these measures should be considered in addition to results that are prepared under U.S. GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the company’s current financial performance and the company’s prospects for the future and provide further information for comparative information due to the adoption of the new accounting standard FAS 123(R). The company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding the non-cash impact of stock-based compensation expenses, which may not be indicative of the company’s core operating results and business outlook.

a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired - Not Applicable.

b) Pro Forma Financial Information - Not Applicable.
