                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


Note 1.     Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------------------

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Medium4.com, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q 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.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included.  The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Operating results for
expected for the three months period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2000.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.  Per share data for the periods are based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such periods, plus
net additional shares issued upon exercise of options and warrants.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

     We are a developmental stage company that was founded on November 12, 1998.
As of the end of the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2000, we had not
generated any material revenues.  In view of the rapidly evolving nature of our
business and our limited operating history, we believe that a description of our
revenues and operating results is not necessarily meaningful and should not be
relied upon as indications of future performance.   Our business plan assumes
that we will not derive any significant revenues from advertising, sales, e-
commerce or other activities prior to April 2000. Our business plan further
assumes that we will continue to invest and disburse substantial funds to build
the infrastructure of our large-scale streaming-video broadcasting business on
the World Wide Web.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2000

     We sustained a net loss of $1.92 million for the three month fiscal period
ended March 31, 1999 on revenues of approximately $66,911.  Such revenues were
derived from advertising, the production of infomercials and from our affiliate
program licensing fees.

     The production costs for the development of our original content for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000, were approximately $145,517.   This
amount includes the cost of (i) data communications, (ii) software license fees
and (iii) content license fees, where necessary in order to acquire additional
content. As our user traffic increases and as the number of services we offer
increases, we expect these expenditures to increase.

     Our selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.83
million for the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2000, consisting
primarily of $795,573 in personnel costs, $432,932 in professional and
consulting fees, $180,238 in rent, overhead, equipment and depreciation, $66,476
in sales and marketing costs, and $276,996 in other general and administrative
costs. Internet domain and Web service costs, together with miscellaneous
expenses, accounted for the balance.

     We had depreciation and amortization expense of $134,929 for the three-
month fiscal period ended March 31, 2000. This was derived primarily from
depreciation relating to our leasehold improvements and furniture, computer and
camera equipment purchases, and amortization of software.

     Our net losses were partially offset by interest earnings on our investment
grade securities, cash and cash equivalents amounting to approximately $48,963
in the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of
our common stock and warrants in our IPO and in two private placements between
December 1999 and March

                                       8

<PAGE>

2000. Net proceeds from these sales have totaled approximately $10.1 million,
with $8.8 million raised in the IPO and $1.3 million raised in the two private
placements.

     For the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, we used approximately $1.6
million in connection with our operating activities.  Such amount was primarily
attributable to net losses, offset in part by increases in accounts payable,
accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.

     For the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, we used approximately
$0.54 million in in connection with our investing activities, purchases of
property and equipment, production of encoded videos, which are treated as
software development, and registration costs relating to our library of domain
names.

     We believe that our success will depend largely on our ability to become a
leading source for streaming media broadcasting of international and other niche
programming on the Web. Accordingly, we intend to invest heavily in order to
develop our network infrastructure, acquire content and in sales and marketing.
We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable
future.  During the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2000, we continued
to invest heavily in and incurred significant expenditures and costs for
expanding our network infrastructure required for large-scale streaming media
broadcasts and in implementing our business plan.

     At March 31, 2000, we had $3.33 million of cash and cash equivalents.  We
believe that current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for the next
twelve months. However, the growth of our business, if sustained, may require us
to raise additional capital. We can give no assurance that we will able to
obtain such additional financing, if needed, on terms attractive to us, if at
all. Failure to raise capital when needed could adversely affect our future
operations and prospects.  If we raise additional funds through the issuance of
equity securities, then our current stockholders would have their percentages of
equity ownership of Medium4.com reduced. Furthermore, such equity securities
might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common
stock.

Year 2000

     To date our systems and computer software and hardware have not experienced
any material disruption due to the onset of the Year 2000. However, we cannot
assure that we will not experience disruptions in the future as a consequence of
Year 2000 issues. We cannot quantify the amount of our potential exposure, but
do not believe it to be material.

Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risk

     We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and do not
purchase hedging instruments or "other than trading" instruments that are likely
to expose us to market risk, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or
equity price risk.  We have purchased no options and entered into no swaps.  We
have no bank borrowing facility which could subject us to the risk of interest
rate fluctuations. The predominant share of our funds are invested in interest-
bearing

                                       9
<PAGE>

investment grade securities, the yield and value of which are subject to Federal
interest rate fluctuations. Due to fluctuations in the Federal interest rates,
the investment grade securities held by us experienced a decline of $21,330
(approximately 0.66%) at the end of the three-month fiscal period ended March
31, 2000.

Forward-Looking Statements

     Management's Discussion and Analysis above contains certain forward-looking
statements and information relating to us and to our present and future business
operations within the meaning of Federal securities law.  We have identified
these statements by using forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "predict", "contemplate", "continue,"
"believe," "intend," or other similar words. These words, however, are not the
exclusive means by which you can identify these statements. You can also
identify forward-looking statements because they discuss future expectations,
contain projections of results of operations or of financial conditions,
characterize future events or circumstances or state other forward-looking
information.

     These forward-looking statements included in Management's Discussion and
Analysis are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made using information
currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update any such
forward-looking statements. We believe that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions.  However,
because these statements reflect our current views concerning future events,
these statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.   Actual
future results may differ materially and significantly from the results
projected and discussed in the forward-looking statements.

     We caution you that our business and financial performance are subject to
substantial risks and uncertainties. Potential risks and uncertainties include,
among others, those risk factors set forth in our S-1 Registration Statement, as
amended, for our initial public offering that became effective on April 13, 1999
and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the Fiscal Year ended
December 31, 1999.

Item 2.    Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

     (a)   None
     (b)   None
     (c)  (i)  During the first quarter of 2000 we privately sold 47,500 shares
     of common stock at $3.00 per share.

          (ii)  In March 2000, we privately sold to a single corporate purchaser
     105,263 shares of common stock together with four-year warrants to purchase
     an additional 105,263 shares of common stock exercisable at $9.00 per
     share, for an aggregate consideration of $500,000. In addition, this entity
     was issued warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock exercisable
     at $1.00 per share, with exercisability predicated upon its achievement of
     certain performance criteria.

No underwriters were employed for these purposes.  We sold these securities in
reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933
provided by Section 4(2) of the Act, on the basis that neither transaction
involved any public offering.

     (d) On April 13, 1999, we commenced an initial public offering of our
securities, SEC file number 333-71733, resulting in net proceeds to us of
$8,792,552.

     From April 13, 1999 through March 31, 2000, we expended $ 5,889,583 of such
net proceeds upon the development of our business, including $1,082,372 for the
payment of officers' salaries and consulting fees. The balance of such net
proceeds, inclusive of interest thereon, have been utilized to purchase
marketable securities, which will be liquidated as required for the further
development of our business and for working capital purposes.
