FTM MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of FTM Media, Inc. formerly
Redwood Broadcasting, Inc. Have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The balance
sheet at March 31, 1999 has been derived from audited consolidated financial
statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
which are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations,
contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1999. Results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the year as a whole.
2. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
FTM Media, Inc.
The Corporation was formed in December 1994 pursuant to the
laws of the State of Colorado with the name Redwood Broadcasting, Inc.
On July 19, 1999 at a special meeting of shareholders, the shareholders
approved changing the name of the Corporation to FTM Media, Inc. On
December 31, 1998, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
FTM/Redwood were transferred to a wholly owned subsidiary. The common
stock of the subsidiary was then to be distributed to the FTM/Redwood
shareholders. As a result of this and the reverse acquisition of the
Corporation by Interactive Radio Group, Inc. (INRG), the prior
operations of FTM/Redwood are not reflected in these financial
statements. Accordingly the financial statements reflect the operating
activity of FTM/Redwood beginning with the acquisition of the majority
interest in INRG. The Corporation is in the development stage as its
operations involve the raising of capital, market research and start up
production. Because it is in the development stage, the Corporation has
had no revenue from product sales, which is not regarded as typical for
normal operating periods.
Interactive Radio Group, Inc.
Interactive Radio Group, Inc. was formed in February 1994
pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware. The company was inactive
until April, 1998 when it began its business of designing and hosting
Internet websites for radio stations. The acquisition of the majority
interest in INRG by FTM/Redwood was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, resulting in the historic operations of INRG being treated
as the historical operations of the Corporation. Accordingly the
accompanying historic financial statements have been restated to
reflect the financial position, results of operations and
<PAGE> 8
cash flows for all periods presented as if the recapitalization
had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Cybermusic Acquisition Corp.
Cybermusic Acquisition Corp. was formed in February, 1996
pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware. Cybermusic was acquired
by INRG and became a wholly owned subsidiary in December, 1998.
Cybermusic's principal business of designing websites for radio
stations has been carried on by INRG since the acquisition. The
acquisition of Cybermusic by INRG was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition, resulting in the historic operations of Cybermusic being
treated as the historical operations of the Corporation. Accordingly
the accompanying historic financial statements have been restated to
reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for all periods presented as if the recapitalization had occurred at
the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Method of Accounting
The Corporation maintains its books and prepares its financial
statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of
deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities
of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash
equivalents at financial institutions which periodically may exceed
federally insured amounts.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Fixed Assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives
as follows:
Office Equipment 3-5 years
Office Furniture 5 years
Leasehold Improvements 7 months
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. The cost of assets
retired or disposed of and their related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts.
Web Site Design - In progress
The Corporation had previously capitalized its costs incurred
in developing its websites for radio stations. The Company now charges
to expense all such costs. The Company has expensed all such previously
capitalized costs.
Goodwill
Goodwill has been capitalized and is being amortized over ten
years.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed in accordance
with SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share" by dividing the income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for each period after reflecting the recapitalization. The
effects of conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock were not included
in the calculation of diluted loss per share because the Corporation
has
<PAGE> 9
experienced losses in all of the periods presented and therefore
the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Corporation accounts for income taxes in accordance with
SFAS 109 " Accounting for Income Taxes", using the asset and liability
approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of such
assets and liabilities. The method uses enacted statutory tax rates in
effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to
reverse and gives immediate effect to changes in income tax rates upon
enactment. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation
allowance, for temporary differences and net operating loss and tax
credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax expense represents the
change in net deferred assets and liability balances. The Corporation
had no material deferred tax assets or liabilities for the period
presented.
3. Stockholder's Equity
During June, 1999 the Corporation received $1,565,005 in a private
placement of 267,522 shares of $.04 par value Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Convertible

d. Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have
the option to convert their Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
to common shares anytime at an amount equal to $5.85 divided by

which are then unpaid for fifteen days or more multiplied by
.64103.
e. The Corporation may cause each share of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into
shares of common stock at an amount equal to $5.85 minus the
aggregate amount of accrued dividends per share which are then
unpaid for fifteen days or more multiplied by
<PAGE> 10
.64103. as of any date on which the closing price for each of the
twenty trading days preceding such date equals or exceeds $8.35
per share. Such conversion cannot occur prior to the first
anniversary of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Issue Date.
f. In the case of a capital reorganization or reclassification of
outstanding shares of Common Stock or in case of any merger of
the Corporation into another corporation or in case of a sale or
conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of
the assets or property of the Corporation each share of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into,
in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition
and results of operations of the Company as of and for the two fiscal
periods ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of
the Company and the notes related thereto included in the Company's
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.
The forward looking statements included in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which
reflect Management's best judgement based on factors currently known,
involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result
of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed
herein.
Introduction
The Company was incorporated on February 22, 1994. Prior to March 1998,
the Company had not engaged in any form of commercial business
activity. In March 1998, the Company's principal business focus became
the Internet and the production of interactive, multi-media, 2-D/3-D
Internet Web Sites for the Radio Industry.
On December 7, 1998, the Company acquired Cybermusic in the Cybermusic
Merger. The business of Cybermusic consists primarily of developing a
network of linked, interactive, multi-media, 2-D/3-D Internet Web Sites
to be operated by the Company for participating Radio Stations (the
"FTM Internet Network"). The Company's business plan is to develop,
operate and maintain the FTM Internet Network, perform related services
and provide Internet access to participating Radio Stations in order to
produce new sources of revenue for the Radio Stations. It is expected
that the Internet Web Site for participating Radio Stations will
feature multi-media interactive capability, streaming audio and video,
local and national chat, games, P1 targeting and music sampling. The
Company also expects to provide market and audience research with daily
and weekly analysis, licenses, e-commerce, and technical
support/customer service through a Company run operations center
available seven days per week.
The Company will initially seek to build the FTM Internet Network
through obtaining the participation of Radio Stations owned by
CBS/Infinity Broadcasting, and later the participation of other Radio
Stations. On March 9, 1998 the Company entered into the CBS Agreement
pursuant to which Infinity Broadcasting will arrange for the Company to
meet with the general managers of Radio Stations owned by CBS/Infinity
Broadcasting for the purpose of discussing the participation of such
Radio Stations in the FTM Internet Network(s).
The Company anticipates three initial sources of revenue which are: (1)
the sale of radio advertising units received from Radio Stations in the
top twenty five U.S. markets in exchange for the Company's various Web
site products and services and
<PAGE> 15
for participation in the FTM Internet Network, (2) the sale of local
and national advertising, "integrated interactive advertising and
sponsorships" on the FTM Internet Network of Radio Station Internet Web
site, and (3) the sale of merchandise, in addition to other e-commerce
activities generated within the Company's Internet Network.
The Company acknowledges increasing competition for limited advertising
dollars on the Internet and seeks to differentiate itself through the
sale of sponsorships and "integrated advertising." Integrated
advertising is a unique program that involves advertisers in the
creation of a message allowing them to better target a specific
audience or audience segment. The Company's growth strategy depends, in
part, on its ability to increase advertising revenue by the ongoing
introduction of new and enhanced Internet products and services to its
flagship Internet Network and Web site. In addition, the Company will
attempt to increase advertising revenue through the introduction of new
and enhanced Internet products and services to its Internet Network and
Web site by the creation of new features, promotions, games and
simulations, in order to provide sponsors and advertisers with even
greater ability to target a specific audience.
CBS AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the CBS Agreement, CBS/Infinity Broadcasting will provide,
until March 2003, access and assistance to the Company to contact Radio
Stations owned and/or operated by CBS/Infinity for the purposes of
soliciting such stations to (1) participate in the FTM Internet
Network, (2) to engage the Company to develop, operate and maintain
World Wide Web sites for such stations and to provide related services
and (3) to engage the Company to function as an Internet access
Provider for such stations in order for the station to generate new
sources of revenue. In exchange for such rights and assistance, the
Company has agreed to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide unimpeded and uninterrupted access and operability of World
Wide Web site to the Participating Stations, (ii) propose to its
shareholders that, for so long as CBS/Infinity Broadcasting continues
to own at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares
of the Company's Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis), a
representative designated by CBS Radio or Infinity be elected to the
Company's board of directors, and to use its best efforts to cause all
of its insiders and affiliates to vote their shares in favor of the
election of said representative, and (iii) allow CBS Infinity
Broadcasting to audit the Company's books and records not more than
once each calendar year on behalf of those stations who participate in
the FTM Internet Network with respect to the accounting statements
tendered to such Radio Stations under their agreements with the
Company.
OTHER POTENTIAL INTERNET PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Company anticipates that advertising revenues generated from the
sale of Internet Web site advertising and sponsorships will represent
only a portion of the Company's operating revenues and profits, and
further, the Company believes that its future success will depend, in
part, on its ability to generate revenues and profits from other
sources. The Company intends to explore other opportunities to increase
revenues through new game platforms, co-branding relationships,
cross-licensed
<PAGE> 16
technologies, merchandise opportunities, specialized CD-ROM's,
classified advertising, personals, archiving fees, specialty
Web-based-only entertainment events, emerging artist management,
publishing and music distribution, and market specific consumer
research.
The Company's business is still in the very early stages of
development. The Company is in discussions with various CBS/Infinity
Broadcasting affiliated Radio Stations regarding the providing of
Internet products and services, but does not yet have binding
agreements with any Radio Stations to provide such products and
services. In addition, while the Company has developed an early stage
prototype of a Radio Station Internet Web site for Los Angeles Radio
Station "KROQ", the prototypes developed do not incorporate all of the
currently available technical features that the Company expects to
include in its fully operational Internet Web site. The Company has yet
to generate its first revenues and has no operating history upon which
an evaluation of the prospects for the acceptance of its Internet
products and services and the related sale of Internet advertising may
be based.
THE MARKET
The Company believes that its target markets are individuals who seek
entertainment, community, products and services on the Internet and
advertisers and Radio Stations who seek to reach those individuals. An
estimate of 1998 Web use by Nielsen Media Research placed current
Internet Web users at 79 million with a new user being added every 1.75
seconds. 66% of current Web usage occurs in the home. Nielsen Media
Research further reports that 20 million people made online purchases
in the twelve-month period ended in June 1998. A study of Holiday
shopping conducted by Boston Consulting Group found that the average
online order was $55. Those making purchases are thought to be between
the ages of 35 to 54 with a gender split of 53% male and 47% female,
however, the number of women shopping online is growing rapidly. Total
E-commerce projections for 1998 by Forrester Research indicate that 9
million U.S. households will have shopped online for travel services
and retail goods other than automobiles, generating $7.8 billion in
online sales. The same report projects online sales to exceed $32
billion by 2003. A recent U.S. Commerce report estimates by the year
2000, total goods and services sold over the Internet will reach $300
billion per year. Online sales of music are projected to grow to $650
million by 2000 as reported by Jupiter Communications. The Aberdeen
Group issued a report in November 1998 projecting Internet advertising
spending will reach $5.1 billion by the year 2000.
The Company intends to add additional Internet Web site products and
services by partnering with prospective advertisers and sponsors to
develop games and simulations that will appeal to specific target
markets. The Company has conceptual plans for Internet Network and Web
site features, promotions, games and simulations designed to appeal to
groups that it believes are not effectively served by existing Internet
Web programming. These plans include products based on relationships
and designed to appeal to women, educational games for young adults,
and other specifically targeted features to attract broad demographic
support.

SALES AND MARKETING
In addition to its Director of Sales and Marketing the Company intends
to employ the services of independent national media sales
organizations in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to help maximize the
development of the FTM National/Local "Lifestyle and Demographic
"Audience Specific" advertising opportunities. The Company intends to
hire several additional employees in sales and marketing over the next
two and one-half years to fully extend the "target marketing and brand
capabilities" of the FTM "local and national format communities" and
distribution networks (Radio Stations). The planned extensions include
a "frequent user/buyer" bonus program for all registered users with
local station and national network premium rewards. It is expected that
the growing sales and marketing staff and the Company's various
associates will focus principally on maximizing "integrated
advertising" and "sponsorship" opportunities, which typically require
more time and involvement to bring to fruition than Banner advertising
sales. The Company also expects that its internal sales force will be
responsible for the origination of all FTM "audience and music research
products" and any product licensing arrangements. In addition, the
Company believes that the strength of the CBS Radio brands and their
large audiences will facilitate the FTM advertising relationships and
sponsorship placements.
COMPETITION
The Company presently competes, or will compete, as the scope
of its Internet Network and content expands, directly and indirectly,
for advertisers, viewers, players and licenses and other sponsorship
events with the following categories of companies: (i) Radio related
Internet Networks such as those operated by OnRadio (Electric Village),
Broadcast.com and Imagine Radio, in addition to independent Radio
Stations that do not join the Company's Internet Network; (ii) on-line
services or Internet Web Site targeted to music enthusiasts generally
such as CDNow, MusicBoulevard, Tunes and BMG, or to enthusiasts of
particular types of music such as the Internet Web Site maintained by
Motown Records; (iii) music related Internet Networks such as those
operated by MTV, N2K and Volatile Media; (iv) on-line services offering
interactive games to targeted participants in association with existing
and new brands (such as Starwave Corporation, Interactive Imaginations,
Inc., Sony Station, Sandbox Entertainment and YoYodyne Entertainment);
(v) game related Internet Networks which include trivia games or
entertainment related contests; (vi) general purpose consumer on-line
services such as America Online, PointCast, and Prodigy, as well as
those site which include entertainment or music related areas such as
Sidewalk.Com; (vii) Web search and retrieval services, such as Excite,
InfoSeek, Lycos and Yahoo!, and other high-traffic Internet Web Site,
such as those operated by Amazon, Disney, Microsoft, ESPN, and CNN;
(viii) publishers and distributors of traditional off-line media (such
as television, radio and print), including those targeted to specific
audiences, many of which have established or may establish Internet Web
Site; and (ix) vendors of information, merchandise, products and
services distributed through other means, including retail stores,
mail, facsimile and private bulletin board services. The Company
anticipates that the number of its direct and indirect competitors will
increase significantly in the future.
<PAGE> 18
There can be no assurance that the Company's current or potential
competitors will not develop Internet products and services comparable
or superior to those to be developed by the Company or adapt more
quickly than the Company to new technologies, evolving industry trends
or changing Internet user preferences. Increased competition could
result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share,
any of which would materially and adversely affect the Company's
business, prospects, financial condition or operating results. In
addition, as the Company expands internationally it may face new
competition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
compete successfully against current and future competitors, or that
competitive pressures faced by the Company will not have a material
adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or
operating results.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is subject to various laws and governmental regulations
applicable to businesses generally. The Company believes it is
currently in material compliance with such laws and that such laws do
not have a material adverse impact on its operations. In addition,
although there are currently few laws or regulations directly
applicable to access to or commerce on the Internet, due to the
increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that more
stringent federal, state, local and international laws and regulations
may be adopted with respect to the Internet. A variety of issues may
prompt such regulations including problems involving participant
privacy and expression, consumer protection, pricing, payment
methodologies, financing practices, intellectual property, information
security, anti-competitive practices, the convergence of traditional
channels with Internet commerce, characteristics and quality of
products and services and the taxation of subscription fees or gross
receipts of Internet service providers. The enactment or enforcement of
such laws or regulations or others in the future may increase the
Company's cost of doing business or decrease the growth of the
Internet, which could in turn decrease the demand for the Company's
Internet products and services, increase the Company's costs, or
otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition or operating results. Moreover, the applicability to the
Internet of existing laws in various jurisdictions including laws and
regulations relating to matters such as property ownership, libel and
personal privacy is uncertain, may take years to resolve and could
expose the Company to substantial liability for which the Company might
not be indemnified by content providers or other third parties. Any
such new legislation or regulation or the application of existing laws
and regulations to the Internet could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, prospects, financial condition or operating
results.
The Company's use of prizes associated with its features, promotions,
games and simulations may be subject to federal, state, local and
international laws governing lotteries and gambling. Such laws vary
from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and are complex and uncertain. The
Company seeks to design its prizing structure to fall within exemptions
from such laws, but there can be no assurance that the Company's
prizing structure will be exempt from all applicable laws. Failure to
comply with applicable laws could have a material adverse affect on the
Company's business, prospects, financial condition or operating
results.
