Historical Overview of the Company
Meier Worldwide Intermedia Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on June 17,
1997 in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. The Company's executive office is located at
1100 Melville Street (suite 320), Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A6 Canada,
Tel: (604) 689-7572.
The Company was organized as a holding company and is publicly traded on the
NASD OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol 'HUES.'
As it was the intent of the Company to become publicly traded in the United
States, Management determined it would be in the Company's best interests to be
domiciled there, therefore incorporated the Company in Nevada, U.S.A. All of the
Company's subsidiaries are British Columbia incorporated companies.
The President, Chief Executive Officer and founder of the Company is James
Meier, 28. Since June 17, 1997 to the present, Mr. Meier. has been managing the
Company's daily business. Since November 28, 1996, Mr. Meier has been the
president of a British Columbia incorporated company - Meier Worldwide
Intermedia Inc. From 1990 to 1995 he served as a systems analyst with the
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Vancouver. Mr. Meier has been a director
of the British Columbia Motion Picture Association since 1996, and is a voting
member of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.
Until November 1, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries were in the business of
developing websites on the internet as well as the acquisition, management and
leasing of sound studio space which it marketed to the local entertainment
industry through its five wholly-owned British Columbia incorporated
subsidiaries. On November 1, 1998, these subsidiaries were disposed of for total
consideration of $6.50 to Meier Entertainment Group Inc., a company owned by
James Meier, for their failure to produce revenue. They were: Meier Studios
Inc., incorporated August 25,1997; G.G. Studios Inc., incorporated October 6,
1997; Meier Worldwide Intermedia Inc. (BC), incorporated November 28, 1996;
Meier Studios (Lake City) Inc., incorporated December 18, 1997; and Meier
Studios (B.B.) Inc., incorporated March 26, 1998.
On June 30, 1997 the Company acquired a movie industry website from Meier
Entertainment Group Inc., a company wholly-owned by Jim Meier. On June 30, 1997,
the Company issued 3,600,000 shares at $0.001 per share to Mr. Meier. These
shares were issued for services, an operating the Internet site and the
production rights for a motion picture based on the life story of Mr. Meier's
father, John Meier. The recorded amount of $0.001 per share was arbitrarily
determined by the Company and was for Mr. Meier's services as a director and
officer of the Company only. This transaction was done with the approval of the
Board of Directors.
In 1998 the Company formed two wholly owned subsidiaries. These are:
1. Meier Studio Management Inc., incorporated in British Columbia on March 26,
1998. James Meier is President. The company was originally formed to
manage all of the studios that have subsequently been disposed of as of
November 1, 1998 (see Part 1, Item 1, "Description of Business.").
2. Meier Entertainment Security Inc., was incorporated in British Columbia on
September 16, 1998. James Meier is President, and Patrick S. Johnson is
Vice President. For the past 13 years through his own firm, Mr. Johnson
has provided security services to the entertainment industry. This company
was established to provide personal and production site security services
for the Company's movies.
Meier Studio Management Inc. and Meier Entertainment Security Inc. have never
conducted and business. It is not anticipated by the management that either
company will carry on business in the future. Given the foregoing, it is there
is little probability that either business will continue as viable business
entities in the future.
<PAGE>
Page 2
The Company is currently refocusing its business and is in a transitional stage
having disposed of the studio space leasing and management businesses. It is
management's belief that the future opportunities for the Company lie
not only with the production of films but also with the potential ability to
merge this industry with the multi-media interactive technology that is
available to the Company through its investment of a 20% interest in a company
called Internet Television Network ("ITN") (see Part 1, Item 1, "Multimedia
Video Technology").
The Company paid $2,000.00 for 2,000,000 million shares $0.001 par value shares
in a recently incorporated Nevada company called Internet Television Network
("ITN"). This company was incorporated on July 6, 1999, in Nevada, U.S.A. The
acquisition constitutes a 20% interest in ITN by the Company. ITN plans to carry
out the business of providing real-time interactive multi-media services that
will be available to the public via the Internet. A business plan is currently
being completed and ITN's management has yet to determine how they will fund
this project or the amount of funds that are needed to launch this service. John
Meier is President and Chief Executive Officer of ITN and James Meier is a
Director. As of August 31, 1999, ITN had not raised any working capital.
Offices
The Company's executive office is located at Suite 320-1100 Melville Street,
Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A6, Canada.
Planned Business
It is the Company's objectives to carve out a niche market in the entertainment
industry by implementing the following plans in the year 2000:
- Initiate production of the film based on the life of John Meier (see Part
I, Item 1,"Movie Production").
- Develop interactive video services for the Internet through Internet
Television Network (ITN) (see Part 1, Item I, "Description of Business").
Movie Production
Although the Company is currently inactive, the President is working full time
to obtain funding for the Company's subsidiaries. These are:
* H.R.H. Productions Inc. ("H.R.H.") was incorporated in British Columbia on
October 6, 1997. James Meier is President. The Company owns 1,000 common
shares at $0.01 per share representing 100% ownership. The company will be
responsible for producing the movie "The John Meier Story" based on the life
of John Meier, who is the father of James Meier. John Meier was the former
personal business advisor and aide to the late Howard Hughes and is the
central character in the book, "Age of Secrets, The Conspiracy that toppled
Richard Nixon and the Hidden Death of Howard Hughes". This book was
published in 1995 and sold about 5,000 copies. H.R.H. has not yet determined
how much funding is required to produce this movie. At the present time,
management has not identified any sources for the funds necessary to
complete this project. Beyond producing the movie based on the life of John
Meier, the Company has no specific plans for future film projects.
* Meier Rose Pictures Inc. ("Meier Rose") was incorporated in British Columbia
on April 28, 1999. James Meier is President and Chief Executive Officer of
Meier Rose. The Company owns 2,000 common shares at $0.01 per share
representing a twenty percent (20%) interest in Meier Rose Meier
Entertainment Group Inc. owns 5,100 common shares at $0.01 per share
representing fifty one percent (51%), Alexandra Rose owns 2,900 common
shares at $0.01 per share representing twenty nine percent (29%)Meier Rose's
Chief Operating Officer is veteran Hollywood producer Alexandra Rose. Meier
Rose intends to produce mainstream theatrical motion pictures in British
Columbia, with Alexandra Rose serving as producer. Alexandra Rose is an
<PAGE>
Page 3
accomplished Hollywood producer, with several successful projects to her
credit including the nomination for an Oscar for 'Best Picture' for the film
Norma Rae, for which Sally Field won the 'Best Actress' Oscar, as well as
the Christopher Award for 'Best film, Best Screen play and Best Director'.
Ms. Rose was also the producer of "The Other Sister" a Touchstone Pictures
Film starring Diane Keaton released in 1999 by Bella Vista.
At present Meier Rose has no employees. There are no contractual terms and
conditions between the Company and Meier Rose. Contractual terms and
conditions between the Company and Meier Rose will be established for each
individual film to be produced by Meier Rose. The Company is presently
looking for suitable products.
According to the BC Film Commission, British Columbia is internationally known
as Hollywood North, and is now considered to be the third largest film
production center in the world, after California and New York. Vancouver is also
recognized for the production of successful television shows, television
commercials, animations and graphics.
Through its subsidiary H.R.H. the Company proposes to commence production of
motion picture films in the year 2000, including a movie based on the life of
James Meier's father, John Meier, who was the personnel business advisor and
aide to the late Howard Hughes. John Meier also served on President Richard
Nixon's task force on 'Resources and Environment'. A script for the John Meier
movie has not yet been written, but is currently contemplated subject to
financing. The movie would be an original screenplay based on private documents
and former secret U.S. government files about the life and death of the
reclusive billionaire, Howard Hughes, founder of Hughes Aerospace Inc.
The Company acquired the rights to make a film based on John Meier's story from
Meier Entertainment Group Inc., an affiliate of the Company's president, James
Meier, in August 1997. Such assignment was without consideration, it being John
Meier's hope that the Company will effect production of such movie. (see Item 1,
Part 7, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions").
Management believes the John Meier story will have significant public interest
and the potential for a major movie. His story includes employment from 1959
until 1970 as an aide to Howard Hughes, and contains knowledge of certain
information relating to the resignation of Richard Nixon as the President of the
United States. Incidents from John Meier's life have been featured in a book
written by Gerald Bellett, called "Age of Secrets" (Voyageur, 1995), that was
subtitled "The Conspiracy that Toppled Richard Nixon and the Hidden Death of
Howard Hughes".
Management believes that because of the film's controversial revelations and the
fact that it will be produced by an 'accomplished Hollywood producer, Alexandra
Rose, significant publicity could be generated for the film which could
translate into a box office success.
The writing and production of movies requires substantial funding, and the
Company's ability to produce movies will depend on its ability to raise such
funding, by way of a public or private offering. Management is currently
reviewing the funding requirements for the film on John Meier's life
experiences, and has not yet decided how they will achieve such funding or how
much is required. No assurances can be given that such funding will be available
on terms deemed acceptable by the Company, or that such movie, if financed and
produced, will be successful.
The writing and production of movies is highly speculative in nature, involves
many risks and frequently involves costs in excess of revenues. Production of
the above film is contingent upon the Company's ability to raise sufficient
working capital to complete the projects identified in this section.
Neither Meier Rose, nor H.R.H. presently has any financing or employees.
Management is capable of carrying on the day-to-day business of the Company, and
employees will only be hired when needed. It is anticipated that between 60 and
100 employees will be needed for each movie.

Netcasting
The Company is observing various companies experimenting with Netcasting, and
sees a potential opportunity with this technology. Netcasting is the term used
for film and television productions that are broadcasted over the Internet
instead of using conventional methods such as cable and satellite. Management
believes that the entertainment industry will evolve more and more from distinct
media, such as television, movies, CD-ROM, and internet, into unified or
cooperative enterprises producing for all such media.
Potential Acquisitions
The Company may engage in or acquire other related businesses as well. Other
businesses might include a directory of the Canadian film and television
industry and/or the creation of multi-media productions. The Company has not
initiated any steps toward the organization of any additional businesses, and
does not presently have the financial capacity to do so. Any acquisitions of
further businesses may involve the issuance of the Company's stock. In the long
term, the Company will seek to engage in all facets of the entertainment
industry, ranging from the production and marketing of entertainment productions
for theaters and television, to providing multimedia Internet services.
Multi-Media Video Technology
The Company paid $2,000.00 for 2,000,000 million shares $0.001 par value shares
in a recently incorporated Nevada company called Internet Television Network
("ITN"). This company was incorporated on July 6, 1999, in Nevada, U.S.A. The
acquisition constitutes a 20% interest in ITN by the Company. ITN plans to carry
out the business of providing real-time interactive multi-media services that
will be available to the public via the internet. A business plan is currently
being completed and ITN's management has yet to determine how they will fund
this project or the amount of funds that are needed to launch this service. John
Meier is President and Chief Executive Officer of ITN and James Meier is a
Director. As of August 31, 1999, ITN had not raised any working capital.
The Film and Television Industry in British Columbia
Film production in British Columbia has grown rapidly in recent years, and is
now an established industry. According to the BC Film Commission, film and
television production generated CDN$537 million in revenues for British Columbia
in 1996 (compared with CDN$432 million in 1995), with more than 25,000 jobs
ascribed to the industry. Production in 1997 increased to CDN$630 million, and
in 1998 posted a record CDN$808 million. A principal reason for such growth has
been that production costs are up to 50% less in British Columbia, due to lower
wages and a favorable exchange rate, compared with Hollywood. Development of the
British Columbia film industry has been looked upon favorably by the provincial
government, which created the British Columbia Film Commission to assist in
bringing productions to British Columbia, provide funding for local productions,
and otherwise support the industry. Vancouver provides experienced manpower and
beautiful scenery, and the Greater Vancouver Regional District has made the film
industry a high priority. The British Columbia Film Commission believes that the
film industry could reach CDN$1 billion by the year 2000.
Major films produced in British Columbia to date include Deep Rising, Fire Storm
and Free Willy III; television series produced there included Poltergeist,
Highlander, Millennium, and X-Files (winner of three Golden Globe Awards).
Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., MCA Universal, MGM, and Disney all maintain
offices in the Vancouver area, which is often referred to as "Hollywood North".
The great majority of such revenues come from foreign producers. The industry's
success could therefore be affected by the relative strength of the Canadian and
U.S. dollars. A surge in value of the Canadian dollar would have a negative
impact on this industry in British Columbia.
<PAGE>

Distribution Methods
The Film Industry
The Company will utilize both traditional and non-traditional distribution
channels to distribute its films. The Company believes that its first film
based on the life of John Meier will generate interest by the major film
distributors such as Touchstone, Alliance and Miramax Films. Using a well-known
Hollywood producer such as Alexandra Rose will assist the Company in
successfully bringing its films to the attention of the major distributors.
In addition to traditional distribution channels, the Company sees an
opportunity to distribute its products directly to consumers through
"netcasting" or the broadcasting of films over the Internet. Management's
commitment to exploring non-traditional distribution channels is highlighted by
the Company's investment in ITN, a company that intends to develop the ability
to provide television-quality video feeds over the Internet.
Competition
The Film Industry
The market for the Company's products is highly competitive and uncertain as to
the amount such market will generate. Many of the Company's competitors have
greater name recognition and resources than does the Company. There are no
assurances that the Company will be able to successfully compete or that the
projects will be viable.
With respect to its plans for motion picture production, the Company will be
competing with numerous companies engaged in the production and marketing of
films and television productions. Most of such entities, such as Can West
Global, Western International Communications, Cannell, and Pacific Motion
Pictures, are larger and better established, and many are better financed than
the Company. Management feels strongly that successful development of its
first project, a movie based on the life of John Meier and produced by a
well-known Hollywood producer such as Alexandra Rose, will provide the momentum
necessary to attract the capital and artistic talent to develop future projects.
The Internet Business
The Company has limited exposure to the Internet business through its investment
in ITN. The Internet business is highly competitive and highly fragmented and
dominated by small enterprises. Success will be largely dependent on ITN's
ability to raise capital and attract talent in the computer and multi-media
industry. The Company is therefore uncertain as to the amount such market will
grow and ITN's ability to compete in such an environment.
Currently, there are numerous potential competitors seeking to deliver similar
broadcast services on the Internet. Large companies such as Disney, Microsoft
and Broadcast.com have all invested substantial amounts of capital to develop
the technology and channels to deliver content to end-users. In addition to
these major industry players, many small upstart technology companies are
developing products and services that will compete directly with ITN's planned
services. Compared to many of its competitors, ITN is severely hampered by its
lack of capital and technical expertise.
ITN and the Company will not be dependent upon a few major customers as every
individual with access to the Internet will be a potential customer for delivery
of broadcast quality services over the Internet.
Proprietary Rights
The Company has no other patents, licenses, trademarks, franchises, concessions,
royalty agreements or labor contracts other than the following:
<PAGE>
Page 6
1. The Company has the right to produce one movie based on the life of John
Meier as previously described. There are no payments due under the terms of
the grant of rights.
2. The Company has entered into an agreement with James Meier, President of
the Company whereby Mr. Meier will be paid $5,000 per month for his
services to the Company. Effective November 1, 1999, this agreement was
terminated. Mr. Meier now receives no salary for his services.
Government Approval
The Company does not require government approval of its products or services and
as such has not sought any such approval from any level of government.
Government Regulation
The Film Industry
The film industry is subject to government regulation at the federal, state and
municipal levels. Currently, both the Canadian federal and provincial
governments encourage film production in British Columbia through preferential
tax treatment. Should the current taxation schemes change, the Company's
ability to produce films in British Columbia would be seriously impaired.
The Internet
Currently, there is little federal or state regulation of the Internet when
compared with other modes of communication, entertainment and commerce. As the
Internet grows and in particular as the value of e-commerce grows, the potential
for government regulation at both the state and federal level increases. It is
foreseeable that increased regulation in regard to user privacy, taxation,
content, copyright and consumer protection may be enacted in the future. As the
rapid growth of the Internet has been in part due to its unregulated nature, any
future regulations will likely slow the current rate of growth of the Internet.
Any reduction in the rate of growth of the Internet will negatively affect
companies that seek to introduce new technologies and products to the public.
As such, the Company's current investment in ITN, a business that seeks to
provide internet broadcasting services to the public would be negatively
impacted by a slowing of growth in Internet usage.
Recent attempts by the telephone carriers to request the Federal Communications
Commission to regulate Internet service providers due to the increased demands
being placed on the carriers' infrastructure could result in the imposition of
user fees on service providers which would ultimately be passed on to the
consumer. Any such levy would likely lead to slower growth in the Internet and
would have an adverse affect on the Company's investment in ITN.
Laws aimed at regulating the content of Internet content providers has also been
promoted by various interest groups. Successful regulation of Internet content
will likely result in a slowing of the Internet's current popularity as a mode
of dissemination of information. Management feels that given the international
dimension of the Internet it is unlikely, that regulation of content by any
nation will be successful.
Risk Factors
The Film Industry
1. The Company has a short history of operating various film studios for over
a year and a half, and no operating history in the making of films and is
dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient working capital to complete
the projects identified in this report. The Company does not have funds to
undertake any of its planned activities at the current time and there can
be no assurance that it will be able to raise such funds.
<PAGE>
Page 7
2. The Company lacks working capital and will require financing to commence
production of one movie. There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain such financing, or, if available, what the terms of such
financing will be.
3. The market for the Company's products is highly competitive and uncertain
as to the amount such market will generate. Many of the Company's
competitors have greater name recognition and resources than does the
Company. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to
successfully compete or that the projects will be viable.
4. The Company's success will depend largely upon the performance of its
founders and executive officers, James Meier, President and Director, Harry
Evans, Executive Vice President and Director, Carrie Hunter, Corporate
Secretary and Director, John Meier, consultant and Alexandra Rose,
Producer. The loss of the services of these individuals would have a
materially adverse effect on the Company if a replacement could not be
found. In addition, the Company will need to attract and retain skilled
and experienced sales and technical staff to successfully accomplish its
business plan. Competition for experienced personnel in the Company's
industries is intense. In the event that the Company is unable to attract
and retain certain skilled staff, or if the Company loses the services of
any of its key personnel, there can be no assurances that replacement
personnel with similar contacts, experience and skills, could be found.
5. The Company does not anticipate payment of any cash dividends on its Common
Stock in the foreseeable future.
6. Due to the concentration of the Company's shares in Meier Entertainment
Group Inc., there are significant risk factors to the ordinary shareholder.
As at October 31, 1999, the Company's President, James Meier, remains in
effective control of the Company with the ability to elect all of the
Company's directors and to authorize certain corporate transactions that
require stockholder approval, in each case without concurrence of the
Company's minority stockholders.
7. Present Management of the Company has a limited knowledge of how to produce
movies, and the Company has a lack of operating history in the movie
production business. However, the Chief Operating Officer of Meier Rose,
Alexandra Rose, has a strong background in successful movie production, and
it is the Company's intention that she will produce all movies.
8. Due to the weak Canadian dollar, British Columbia continues to be an
attractive location for the film production industry as a great majority of
revenues come from foreign and American producers. The future production of
any films produced by Meier Rose could therefore be greatly affected by any
changes in the relative value of the Canadian and U.S. dollar. Any surge
in value of the Canadian dollar would have a negative impact on this
industry in British Columbia as a whole.
9. The Company's auditors have qualified their opinion as follows: "The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional
working capital to service its debt for the coming year and for its planned
activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described
in Note 10. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. " Management will use
its best efforts to obtain additional working for the Company. At the
present time, however, there is no reason to expect that management will be
successful. Management has not identified any potential investors at this
time. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining additional funding, it is
unlikely that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
10. The current shareholders of the Company and any future investors run the
risk of losing all of their investment should the Company cease to be a
going concern.

Research and Development Activities
The Company has spent zero dollars on research and development activities during
each of the last two fiscal years.
Employees
The Company has only one employee, the Company's president James Meier. The
Company's subsidiaries have no employees. At the present time, there is no
expectation that the Company, or its subsidiaries will hire any additional
permanent employees in the future.
Reports to Security Holders
The Company intends to become a reporting company and will deliver an annual
report to security holders of record. The report will include audited financial
statements. The Company is responsible for timely filing of the same with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Plan of Operation
In the future, the Company will seek to establish its business of film
production, as well as provide financing for production of its movie on the life
of John Meier and other films. The Company also intends to devote additional
resources to development of its Internet and multi-media video technology
business. (see Part I, Item 1, "Current Business Description"). As at October
31, 1999, the Company does not have adequate resources to cover ongoing
operations, and has no assets. The Company is a young company and going through
a transitional stage of establishing an infrastructure and focus for future
development. Management is confident that sufficient funding for working
capital needs of US$60,000 per year and additional project financing can be
completed in the near future.
Results of Operations
The Company does not have any operations from continuing operations.
Movie Production
The Company intends to identify suitable movie projects and to acquire rights to
producing them in addition to the movie based on John Meier's life experiences.
The Company has not yet determined the funding required for production of this
movie, neither is there a script for it. The Company will seek to raise the
necessary monies from investors or by joint venture with one or more established
producers. The Company has not yet determined which established producer it
might seek to joint venture with. It is not anticipated that production will
commence until sometime in 2001. There can be no assurance that such financing
will be available, or if available, that it would be offered on terms deemed
acceptable to management. In the event the Company is successful in arranging
such financing, it is contemplated that producing and distributing such movie
could take as long as 12 months from the time the script is completed.
Acquisitions and Other Businesses
At present, the Company has no plans to acquire other businesses or properties.
The Company does not expect to purchase or sell plant or significant equipment
in the foreseeable future, nor does the Company foresee the hiring of new
employees in the next year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
For detailed financial data and comparatives for years ended Oct 31, 1999 and
1998 and the period of inception (June 17, 1997) to October 31, 1997, please
refer to Part F/S "Financial Statements".
Cash Flows
From June 17, 1997 to October 31, 1999, the Company generated cash outflows of
$578,699 and $379,741 from operating activities and investing activities
respectively and cash inflows of $878,813 from financing activities. Cash
outflows of $578,699 from operating activities were largely attributable to the
incurrence of cumulative net losses of $1,633,583 for the said period. Such
losses reflect the combined effects of revenues of only $773,600 compared to
substantially higher expenditures for operations and administration of
$2,153,796 and write-off of assets of $369,782. Partially off-setting
operating cash outflows from cumulative net losses from June 17, 1997 to October
31, 1999, is the issuance of capital stock for services and expenses of $662,378
and the gain on transfer of subsidiaries to related parties in the amount of
$125,023.
During the same period, cash outflow of $379,741 from investing activities
represents security deposits paid on an automobile lease and a purchase deposit
paid for a leased property.
From June 17, 1997 to October 31, 1999, net proceeds of $878,813 in equity
capital from the issuance of common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share,
contributed to cash inflows of $878,813 from financing activities
From June 17, 1997 to October 31, 1999, the Company had a net increase of $43 in
cash flows.
Convertible Line of Credit
On April 9, 1999, the Company entered into a convertible line of credit
agreement allowing the Company to borrow up to CDN $300,000 of which CDN
$100,000 (US $64,843) had already been advanced by the lender on December 4,
1998. A further CDN $50,000 (US $33,584) was advanced from the convertible line
of credit on July 27, 1999. Funds advanced from the convertible line of credit
are repayable on demand by the lender and bear an interest rate of 8% per annum
calculated from the date of the advance. Either the lender or the borrower may
convert all or part of the principal amount advanced under the line of credit
into common shares of the Company at the rate of US $0.20 per share. Under the
terms of the agreement, any conversion shall constitute full payment of the
indebtedness owing by the Company to the lender in respect to the amount
converted, including all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. On September 9,
1999, the entire amount advanced under the loan (US $98,876) was converted in
494,380 common shares of the Company. Monies advanced to the Company under the
line of credit agreement were used for operations by the Company's subsidiaries.
Since the conversion of the outstanding debt on September 9, 1999, the
convertible line of credit is no longer available to the Company.
Management anticipates that the Company will need US$60,000 in working capital
during the next 12 months in order to maintain daily operations. James Meier has
agreed to fund the Company when needed in consideration for restricted stock
issued at market price.
As of October 31, 1999, the Company had assets of US $111 and liabilities of
US$92,497. A portion of these liabilities totaling US$3,288 is owed by the
Company to James Meier. James Meier has agreed to forgo his monthly fees of
US$5,000 for the next six months commencing November 1,1999 for which he has
agreed to accept restricted stock at current market price (an average price to
be determined at the end of the six months) in consideration. Management will
settle current outstanding debt with existing creditors by issuing shares for
debt.
As of October 31, 1999 the following lawsuits and claims have been made against
the Company and/or subsidiaries of the Company:
<PAGE>
Page 10
1. Appin Holdings Ltd. v. Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc. and the Company (Supreme
Court of British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, action # C992772, commenced June
1, 1999): under a written lease date March 31, 1998, Appin Holdings Ltd. leased
to Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc., movie studio premises located at 6228 Beresford
Street, Burnaby, B.C. for a term of five years commencing April 1, 1998. Under a
written agreement dated April 1, 1998, the Company agreed to guarantee the lease
for a period of 12 months commencing April 1, 1998. The landlord terminated the
lease on April 19, 1999, on the basis of its claim, which is disputed, that the
tenant failed to pay rent in March and April 1999, and that two claims of
builder's liens were filed against the property. The landlord is claiming
CDN$228,897.41 (US$153,880.61) against the Company pursuant to agreement, which
the Company disputes. Since the Company's guarantee expired on March 31, 1999,
no amount has been accrued on the Company's books as Management does not believe
there is any reasonable prospect that the suit against it will be successful.
2. Crow Productions Inc. v. Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc. (Supreme Court of
British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, action # C993605, commenced July 12,
1999): under a written sublease dated March 31, 1998, Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc.
subleased to Crow Productions Inc. the premises described in item 1 above. The
subtenant paid rent of CDN$48,150 (US$30,252) to the sub landlord for May, 1999.
As a result of the termination of the head lease on April 19, 1999 described in
item 1, the subtenant paid the May, 1999 rent again to Appin Holdings Ltd. Crow
Productions Inc. is claiming CDN$48,150 (US$30,252) plus interest and costs
against Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc. Since Meier Studios is no longer a subsidiary,
Management does not believe any judgement would affect the Company and,
therefore, no amount has been accrued by the Company in relation to this
lawsuit.
3. Ms. Renee Giesse. v. the Company, Meier Studio Management Inc., 532352
B.C. Ltd. and Dennis Rudd (Supreme Court of British Columbia, Vancouver
Registry, action # C986645, commenced December 22, 1999): the plaintiff's claim
as against the Company and Meier Studio Management Inc. claiming unpaid wages of
CDN $83,333.33 (US$56,816.88) plus damages for wrongful dismissal, interest and
costs. In the statement of claim, Ms. Giesse alleges that in December 1997 she
agreed to be employed by the Company and its subsidiary, Meier Studio Management
Inc., as a Vice President, Studio Management for the movie studios operated by
the defendant in British Columbia. Ms. Giesse alleges that under the terms of
the oral employment agreement she was to be paid a salary and benefits
commensurate to similar industry executives. Ms. Giesse alleges that a
commensurate salary is CDN $125,000 per annum plus the reimbursement of certain
expenses. Ms. Giesse further alleges that she carried out her duties as Vice
President from December 15, 1997 to August 18, 1998 when she was dismissed
without cause. The plaintiff seeks damages in the amount of salary for the
period of December 17, 1997 to August 18, 1998. Management denies each and every
allegation fact contained in Ms. Giesse's statement of claim. Specifically,
Management disputes that there was any employment agreement and believes that
the claim is frivolous and without merit. Since the Company filed its statement
of defense on January 18, 1999, there has been no further action taken by Ms.
Giesse in relation to her claim. Given the nature of this lawsuit, no amount
has been accrued in the Company's books in relation to this lawsuit.
4. Michael McGowan v. the Company, Meier Studios (Lake City) Inc., Meier
Worldwide Entertainment Ltd. and G.G. Studios Ltd. (Supreme Court of British
Columbia, Vancouver Registry, action # C992476, commenced May 14, 1999): Mr.
McGowan loaned CDN$40,000 (US$26,890.75) without specific terms as to interest
and repayment to the Company on August 15, 1997. Mr. McGowan requested that the
loan be repaid and when the Company did not comply, he commenced the above
action. Prior to filing a statement of defense, the Company agreed to a consent
judgment of CDN$43,552.49 (US$29,278.98) as at September 1, 1999, to make
monthly payments of CDN$1,000.00 (US$672.26) commencing on October 1, 1999, to
pay interest at 1% above the HSBC Canada Bank prime rate and to pay the balance
on October 1, 2000. As a result of this lawsuit and settlement, the entire
amount has been accrued and recorded as a loan payable on the Company's books.

5. Meier Studios Inc. v. 544553 B.C. Ltd. (Supreme Court of British
Columbia, Vancouver Registry, action #C985401, commenced September 4, 1998).
Meier Studios entered into a lease agreement with the defendant to lease a
65,000 square foot building on lands owned by the defendant in Delta, British
Columbia. Under the terms to the lease, the defendant was required to construct
an addition to the existing building of approximately 115,000 square feet. Upon
completion of the addition, the basic rent payable by Meier Studios Inc. was to
increase to approximately $105,000 per month. In June of 1998, the defendant
informed Meier Studios Inc. that the addition had been completed and demanded
payment of additional rent. Meier Studios Inc. determined that the addition was
not complete nor had the municipal government issued the necessary occupancy
permits. Subsequently, the defendant informed Meier Studios Inc. that it had
terminated the lease and blocked the plaintiff from accessing the premises.
Meier Studios Inc. brought the action seeking a declaration that the lease was
valid and requiring specific performance by the defendant. In October 1998, the
defendant filed its statement of defense and counterclaimed for damages against
Meier Studios Inc. Specifically, the defendant sought damages in the amount of
$308,040 (less $112,107.55 and $5,552.45 paid into court by Meier Studios Inc.)
On November 1, 1998, the Company sold Meier Studios Inc. to Meier Entertainment
Group Inc., a company controlled by the Company's president, James Meier. While
Meier Studios Inc. is no longer a subsidiary of the Company; the Company remains
liable under the lawsuit as it acted as a guarantor on the original lease. The
Company calculates that its maximum exposure is CDN$61,634.53 (US$41,434.97),
plus interest and costs and the Company has accordingly accrued this amount in
its books.
<PAGE>
Page 12
Item 3. Description of Property
Business Offices
The Company's principal business office is located at 320-1100 Melville Street,
Vancouver, British Columbia. The Company pays rent in the amount of CDN $550.00
per month for the above noted office space.
At the current time, the Company has no investments or interests in real estate,
real estate mortgages, securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged
in real estate activities.
Movie Rights
The Company has no property other than the rights to produce one movie based on
the life of John Meier, the father of James Meier, the Company's President. (See
Part I, Item 7,"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions"). Such rights
were acquired from Meier Entertainment Group, Inc. without consideration and
permit the Company to produce the film as an authorized depiction of John
Meier's life (see Index, Exhibit #4c). This movie is in the conceptual stage
and the Company is dependent on financing for the creation of a script.
As told by John Meier, his story involves the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency,
Richard Nixon, Howard Hughes, bribes, foreign intrigue, kidnapping, beatings,
and escape. It involves high level deals involving nuclear testing,
and the downfall of Richard Nixon. Management believes that the controversial
subject matter of the story will generate significant public interest. Many of
such incidents have been previously described in the 1995 book titled "Age of
Secrets, The Conspiracy that toppled Richard Nixon and the Hidden Death of
Howard Hughes," written by Gerald Bellett in cooperation with John Meier. The
Company has no agreement with the author in regard to any future film. The
movie will be based on John Meier's life and not on the book "Age of Secrets".
In the event the this movie is produced, there are no fees payable to John Meier
or Meier Entertainment Group Inc. Notwithstanding public interest, profitability
will depend on the Company's ability to select a successful screenwriter,
directors, and actors.
The Company has yet to determine the funding required for this movie. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising any funds, or, if
it is successful in raising such funds, that the picture produced will be
successful at the box office.

services to the company. Such options were exercisable at US$1.00 per share at

fair market value of the Company's stock.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On June 30, 1997, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of its common stock to
Meier Entertainment Group Inc. in consideration for its services in organizing
the Company, valued at US$0.001 per common share (see Part I, Item 1,
"Description of Business"). At the time of such agreement, James Meier, the
Company's President, was an officer and sole stockholder of Meier Entertainment
Group Inc. The terms of such transaction were determined by James Meier and
cannot be deemed to have been negotiated at arm's length, but at the time the
Company had no other stockholders. On June 30, 1997, the Company transferred
100,000 of its shares to Carrie Hunter in recognition of Ms. Hunter's agreement
to serve as a director and officer of the Company. Ms. Hunter's shares were
restricted and prevented her from selling said shares for a period of one year
from the date of issue. Ms. Hunter subsequently transferred 50,000 shares to
Meier Entertainment Group Inc. and subsequent to the passage of the one year
hold period, Ms. Hunter sold her remaining 50,000 shares. Ms. Hunter now owns
no shares in the Company.
For compensation and options issued to officers and directors, (see Part 1, Item
6, "Executive Compensation").
In July 1999 the Company purchased 2 million shares of ITN, a Nevada
corporation, at US$0.001 per share, (see Part 1, Item 1, "Description of
Business"), of which John Meier is the President and Chief Executive Officer and
James Meier is a Director. ITN plans to carry out the business of providing
real-time interactive and multi-media services that will be available via the
Internet and television.
The directors and certain of the Company's officers and stockholders are also
directors, officers and stockholders of other companies engaged in the film and
internet business, and conflicts of interest may arise between their fiduciary
duties as directors of the Company and as directors of other companies.
There are certain family relationships between the directors, executive officers
and their mother. James Meier is the son of John Meier. It was from John Meier's
mother that the movie rights to his story were acquired by Meier Entertainment
Group Inc.
There are no other relationships with any person under consideration for
nomination as a director or appointment as an executive officer of the Company.
Item 8. Description of Securities.
The Company's articles of incorporation currently provide that the Company is
authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of
$0.001 per share. As of October 31, 1999, 12,355,260 shares were outstanding.

Holders
The number of recorded holders of the Company's common stock as of October 31,

Dividends
The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not

retain any earnings for the operation and development of its business.
Year 2000 Computer Problems
The Year 2000 problem is a result of certain computer software written using two
digits for the date rather than four. Such software may incorrectly interpret a
date written as "00" as being the year 1900 or may simply fail to perform at
all. This Year 2000 problem may result in severe difficulties for both
information technology systems and, indirectly, non-information technology
systems.
At present the Company has no information technology systems. As such, the
Company does not anticipate any impact on its operations from impacts on
computer systems. The Company has made no investigation as to the potential
effects the Year 2000 problem may pose to the Company's non-information
technology systems. Additionally, the Company has made no attempt to assess the
potential impact of the Year 2000 problem in relation to third parties with whom
the Company has a relationship. Given the Company's lack of information
technology systems, the Company does not anticipate any costs in dealing with
the Year 2000 problem.
The most reasonably likely Year 2000 worst case scenario would be a major
shutdown of the Internet, which would affect the business of ITN. Depending on
the extent and duration of any disruption to the Internet, the Company's
investment in ITN may be jeopardized. The Company has no contingency plan to
address any worst case scenario in relation to the Year 2000 problem and does
not intend to develop one in the future.
The Company has not developed a Year 2000 contingency plan, nor does the Company
intend to develop such a plan in the future. Additionally, the Company has made
no efforts to determine the progress of any plan in place to become ready for
the Year 2000 problem nor does it intend to develop any such plan to address the
Year 2000.

Item 2. Legal Proceedings
As of October 31, 1999 the following lawsuits and claims have been made against
the Company and/or subsidiaries of the Company:
1. Appin Holdings Ltd. v. Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc. and the Company (Supreme
Court of British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, action # C992772, commenced June
1, 1999): under a written lease date March 31, 1998, Appin Holdings Ltd. leased
to Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc., movie studio premises located at 6228 Beresford
Street, Burnaby, B.C. for a term of five years commencing April 1, 1998. Under a
written agreement dated April 1, 1998, the Company agreed to guarantee the lease
for a period of 12 months commencing April 1, 1998. The landlord terminated the
lease on April 19, 1999, on the basis of its claim, which is disputed, that the
tenant failed to pay rent in March and April 1999, and that two claims of
builder's liens were filed against the property. The landlord is claiming
CDN$228,897.41 (US$153,880.61) against the Company pursuant to agreement, which
the Company disputes. Since the Company's guarantee expired on March 31, 1999,
the Company calculates that its maximum exposure is CDN$61,634.53
(US$41,434.97), plus interest and costs.
2. Crow Productions Inc. v. Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc. (Supreme Court of
British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, action # C993605, commenced July 12,
1999): under a written sublease dated March 31, 1998, Meier Studios (B.B.) Inc.
subleased to Crow Productions Inc. the premises described in item 1 above. The
subtenant paid rent of CDN$48,150 (US$30,252) to the sub landlord for May, 1999.
As a result of the termination of the head lease on April 19, 1999 described in
item 1, the subtenant paid the May, 1999 rent again to Appin Holdings Ltd. Crow
Productions Inc. is claiming CDN$48,150 (US$30,252) plus interest and costs
against Meier Studios (B.C.) Inc. Since Meier Studios is no longer a subsidiary,
Management does not believe any judgement would affect the Company.
3. Ms. Renee Giesse. v. the Company, Meier Studio Management Inc., 532352
B.C. Ltd. and Dennis Rudd (Supreme Court of British Columbia, Vancouver
Registry, action # C986645, commenced December 22, 1999): the plaintiff's claim
as against the Company and Meier Studio Management Inc. claiming unpaid wages of
CDN $83,333.33 (US$56,816.88) plus damages for wrongful dismissal, interest and
costs. In the statement of claim, the Ms. Giesse alleges that in December 1997
she agreed to be employed by the Company and it's subsidiary, Meier Studio
Management Inc., as a Vice President, Studio Management for the movie studios
operated by the defendant in British Columbia. Ms. Giesse alleges that under the
terms of the oral employment agreement she was to be paid a salary and benefits
commensurate to similar industry executives. Ms. Giesse alleges that a
commensurate salary is CDN $125,000 per annum plus the reimbursement of certain
expenses. Ms. Giesse further alleges that she carried out her duties as Vice
President from December 15, 1997 to August 18, 1998 when she was dismissed
without cause. The plaintiff seeks damages in the amount of salary for the
period of December 17, 1997 to August 18, 1998. Management denies each and every
allegation fact contained in Ms. Giesse's statement of claim. Specifically,
Management disputes that there was any employment agreement and believes that
the claim is frivolous and without merit. Since the Company filed it's statement
of defense on January 18, 1999, there has been no further action taken by Ms.
Giesse in relation to her claim.
4. Michael McGowan v. the Company, Meier Studios (Lake City) Inc., Meier
Worldwide Entertainment B.C. Ltd. and G.G. Studios Ltd. (Supreme Court of
British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, action # C992476, commenced May 14, 1999):
Mr. McGowan loaned CDN$40,000 (US$26,890.75) without specific terms as to
interest and repayment to the Company on August 15, 1997. Mr. McGowan requested
that the loan be repaid and when the Company did not comply, he commenced the
above action. Prior to filing a statement of defense, the Company agreed to a
consent judgment of CDN$43,552.49 (US$29,278.98) as at September 1, 1999, to
make monthly payments of CDN$1,000.00 (US$672.26) commencing on October 1, 1999,
to pay interest at 1% above the HSBC Canada Bank prime rate and to pay the
balance on October 1, 2000.

5. Meier Studios Inc. v. 544553 B.C. Ltd. (Supreme Court of British
Columbia, Vancouver Registry, action #C985401, commenced September 4, 1998).
Meier Studios entered into a lease agreement with the defendant to lease 65,000
square foot building on lands owned by the defendant in Delta, British Columbia.
Under the terms to the lease, the defendant was required to construct an
addition to the existing building of approximately 115,000 square feet. Upon
completion of the addition, the basic rent payable by Meier Studios Inc. was to
increase to approximately $105,000 per month. In June of 1998, the defendant
informed Meier Studios Inc. that the addition had been completed and demanded
payment of additional rent. Meier Studios Inc. determined that the addition was
not complete nor had the municipal government issued the necessary occupancy
permits. Subsequently, the defendant informed Meier Studios Inc. that it had
terminated the lease and blocked the plaintiff from accessing the premises.
Meier Studios Inc. brought the action seeking a declaration that the lease was
valid and requiring specific performance by the defendant. In October 1998, the
defendant file its statement of defense and counterclaimed for damages against
Meier Studios Inc. Specifically, the defendant sought damages in the amount of
$308,040 (less $112,107.55 and $5,552.45 paid into court by Meier Studios Inc.)
On November 1, 1998, the Company sold Meier Studios Inc. to Meier Entertainment
Group Inc., a company controlled by the Company's president, James Meier. While
Meier Studios Inc. is no longer a subsidiary of the Company, the Company remains
liable under the lawsuit as it acted as a guarantor on the original lease.
Item 3. Changes in and Disagreement with Accountants
From inception to October 31, 1999, the Company's Auditors were Andersen,
Andersen & Strong, L.C. of Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. Such firm's Audited
financial statements for the period from inception to October 31,1999, did not
contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer, nor were there any disagreements
between them and the management of the Company.
Item 4. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
From inception through October 31, 1999, the Company has issued and/or sold the
following unregistered securities. Such transactions were exempt from
registration by virtue of Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933. Such transactions were also exempt from registration by
virtue of the fact that they did not involve a public offering of securities and
occurred outside of the United States.

Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law allows the Company to
indemnify any person who was or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee, or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise. The Company's bylaws provide that such persons
shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada
law.
Nevada law permits the Company to advance expenses in connection with defending
any such proceedings, provided that the indemnitee undertakes to repay any such
advances if it is later determined that such person was not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company. The Company's bylaws require that the Company
advance such funds upon receipt of such an undertaking with respect to
repayment. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing pro-visions or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such act, and is
therefore unenforceable.

Vancouver, B.C. Canada
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Meier Worldwide
Intermedia Inc, and subsidiaries, at October 31, 1999 and the related
consolidated statement of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years ended October 31, 1999, October 31, 1998 and the period from
June 17, 1997 (date of inception) to October 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position for Meier Worldwide
Intermedia Inc. and Subsidiaries at October 31, 1999 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 1999, October 31, 1998
and the period June 17, 1997 (date of inception) to October 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional
working capital to service its debt for the coming year and for its planned
activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in
Note 9. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result form the outcome of this uncertainty.

MEIER WORLDWIDE INTERMEDIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 17,
1997 with authorized capital stock of 200,000,000 shares at a par value of
$0.001.
The Company and subsidiaries (referred to as the Company in this report)
outlined in note 3 are in the business of leasing sound studio space to the
entertainment industry. After October 1998 the Company changed its business
purpose to engage in film production and the multi-media interactive technology.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
------------------
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of
accounting.
Dividend Policy
----------------
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchases with a maturity at
the time of purchase, less than three months, to be cash equivalents.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
---------------------------------------------
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding, after the stock split. Diluted
net income (loss) per shares amounts are computed using the weighted average
number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares
had been issued on the exercise of the preferred share rights unless the
exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are
shown in the report. Potential common shares have been excluded in the
calculation of Net Loss Per Share because they were anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
------------
On October 31, 1999 the Company had a net operating loss carryover of
$1,633,577. The tax benefit from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by
a valuation reserve because the future tax benefit is undeterminable since the
Company is unable to establish a predictable projection of operating profits for
future years. The net operating loss carryover will expire in 2006 for Canadian
reporting and 2020 for U.S. reporting.
Principles of consolidation
---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements shown in this report include the accounts
of the Company (the parent) and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Foreign Currency Translation
----------------------------
Part of the transactions of the Company were completed in Canadian dollars and
have been translated to U.S. dollars as incurred, at the exchange rate in effect
at the time, and therefore, no gain or loss from the translations is recognized.
The functional currency is considered to be US dollars.
Recognition of Income
---------------------
Through 1998 the business activity of the Company consisted of leasing and then
subleasing sound studio space to the entertainment industry. The Company's sole
revenue source was sublease payments. Lease income received from tenants and
lease expense paid to property owners by the Company was assigned to income and
expense during the period defined by the lease agreements, except that during
1998 the leasing activity of the Company was lost, resulting in the loss of
assets shown in the operating statement. See note 4. After 1998 there has been
no income and the activity of the Company is outlined in note 3.
Financial Instruments
---------------------
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expenses,
and accounts payable, are considered by management to be their estimated fair
values.
Estimates and Assumptions
-------------------------
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and
expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in
preparing these financial statements.
Comprehensive Income
--------------------
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130. The
adoption of this standard had no impact on the total stockholders' equity on
June 30, 1999.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting
pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES
During 1997 and 1998 the Company organized and acquired all of the outstanding
stock of the following subsidiaries all of which were incorporated under the
laws of British Columbia and were recorded on the books of the Company at the
costs of organization. On November 1, 1998 all of the outstanding stock of the
<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
subsidiaries indicated by (1) was transferred to a related party (James Meier),
for nominal consideration, and the Company discontinued the operations they
previously conducted. The transfer resulted in a net gain to the Company of
$125,023 and was reported in November 1999. The measurement date and the
disposal date of the segment transferred was considered to be November 1, 1999.
The remaining segment of operations of the Company after the disposal is

4. REAL PROPERTY LEASE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On August 18, 1997 subsidiaries of the Company (through one of its subsidiaries)
completed a lease agreement, including an option to purchase, with 289 Taurus
Ventures Ltd. (a non-related party), for land and building, located in Delta,
British Columbia, containing 65,000 square feet of building space and 13 acres
of land for use in the motion picture industry.
Under the terms of the lease the lease had a five-year life with a five year
renewal provision, and provided for an advance payment of $362,319, which was
paid by the Company, and included the following conditions to be performed by:
289 Taurus Ventures Ltd. (the landlord)
---------------------------------------
- Construct an addition to the present building to increase its size to
180,000 square feet.
- Construct an office building on the front of the property containing
35,000 to 45,000 square feet.
- Construct an additional building of 1,000 by 100 feet with 50 foot high
ceilings to be used as sound stages.
- Construct an additional building of 25,000 square feet to be used for set
construction.
- Install landscaping, parking, roads and lighting.
The Company (the tenant)
---------------------------
The base rent for the building is $76,087 payable monthly, plus applicable taxes
with additional monthly rents for the use of the land surrounding the building
payable at $0.72 per square foot used, with a minimum of $3,623, plus taxes,
plus additional rents to cover services and expenses paid on the property by the
<PAGE>
Page 42
MEIER WORLDWIDE INTERMEDIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
landlord with a minimum monthly amount of $4,438. The base rents are reduced to
$25,362 per month until the addition to the present building described above is
completed. Additional rents will be payable on the completion of the other
buildings as described above. At the date of this report the construction was
in progress to enlarge the present building. During the term of the agreement
the base rents will be reduced by 25% with that amount being applied against the
advance payment until it has been amortized.
The agreement provides for an option to purchase the property, which includes
the completed addition, at any time within the term of the lease for CDN
$17,500,000, increased by the costs plus 10% of the new buildings and land
improvements completed at the time of purchase. On July 31 of each year, prior
to this option being exercised, the price as determined at that time, shall be
increased by 10%, less any additional rents received by the tenant and paid to
the landlord under the sub lease agreement described below. The tenant may sub
lease the property, with the approval of the landlord, but the tenant must pay
the landlord 90% of rent received over the base rent due by the tenant. Base
rent, however, does not include land rent for these purposes.
After August 17, 1998, the agreement provides for the landlord's right to
require the tenant to exercise the option to purchase at any time during the
remaining term of the lease and after a 90 day notice, to purchase within six
months, and upon tenant's failure to purchase, the landlord may cancel the
option to purchase.
At February 28, 1998, $43,478 of advance payments had been amortized to
expenses.
After notice, the landlord has a right to terminate the agreement if the rents
and additional rents become 15 days past due. For reporting purposes, the lease
is considered to be an operating lease.
By October 31, 1998, the lease and option to purchase had been lost due to
nonpayment of base rents and nonperformance on the lease by the Company, and a
legal action, for eviction and damages in the amount of $308,040 was started by
the lessor and the Company's sub-lessees. Management and counsel believe that
the damages against the Company and its subsidiaries will not be more than
$184,133 (this being Management's estimation of the actual damages suffered by
the landlord as a result of the Company's breach of the lease after deduction of
$117,660 that has already been paid into court by the Company's former
subsidiary Meier Studios Inc.) which is shown as a payable in the balance sheet
on October 31, 1998. The loss of the lease resulted in a net loss of $369,782
resulting from the loss of advance rents paid to the landlord and damages
claimed as set out above, offset by the advance rents received from the
Company's sub-tenants. The Company has guaranteed $41,435 of the amount
claimed by landlord against the subsidiary. The amount guaranteed by the
Company ($41,435) remained as a payable on the books of the Company after the
transfer of the subsidiaries to a related party (James Meier) on November 1,
1999.
5. ACQUISITION OF MOTION PICTURE RIGHTS
During June 1997 the Company received the rights to produce a movie on the life
of John Meier from an officer of the Company (James Meier), which is shown at
his historical cost of zero.
6. NOTE PAYABLE
On August 15, 1997 the Company received a loan of $27,397 from a non-related
party. A legal action was started for collection of the amount due by the
Company after management failed to pay the loan on time. Management's failure
to pay was a result of the Company's cash situation at the time the note came
due. A consent judgement was given by the Company agreeing to monthly payments
of $672.26 including interest at 1% above the HSBC Canada Bank prime rate with
payments starting October 1, 1999.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The balance sheet, the statement of changes in stockholders' equity, and cash
flows include identified related party transactions. See note 8 for service
contracts with officers of the Company and note 5 for the acquisition of movie
rights.
Related parties have acquired 38% of the outstanding stock of the Company.
8. CONTINUING AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company may be liable as a guarantor on a legal action against a formed
subsidiary in an amount of $41,435. This amount is shown as part of the
accounts payables. See note 4.
A legal action was started against the Company, subsequent to the balance sheet
date, by an individual claiming unpaid wages of CDN $83,333.33 (US$56,816.88)
plus damages for wrongful dismissal, interest and costs. Management believes
that the claim is frivolous and without merit and the action has not been
pursued by the plaintiff since the Company filed its statement of defense on
January 18, 1999.
During October 1997 the Company entered into management agreements with officers
providing for the payment of monthly management fees of $5,000 plus expenses.
The accrued and payable fees due under such agreements through September 1999
were paid by the issuance of common capital stock of the Company.
9. GOING CONCERN
On the report date the Company did not have the working capital to service its
debt for the coming year and for its planned activity. Continuation of the
Company in its planned activity is dependent upon obtaining additional working
capital and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it
believes will accomplish this objective through seeking additional equity
funding, and long term financing, which will enable the Company to be successful
in its efforts and operate during the coming year.
There can be no assurance that they can be successful in this effort.
