features in a wide variety of entertaining and informational subjects, from our
collection of over 26,000 videos. Our name underscores the Internet's role as
the fourth medium for television broadcasting, after traditional transmission,
cable and satellite television delivery.

         We were incorporated in Delaware in November 1998 under the name
foreignTV.com, Inc. Our executive offices are located at 120 Fifth Avenue,
Seventh Floor, New York, New York 10011. Our telephone number is (212) 993-9400

                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         We have recently entered into a master affiliate agreement with
Windfire International Corporation, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation,
pursuant to which we have granted Windfire the exclusive right for an initial
term of five years to grant licenses solely to persons and entities acceptable
to us for the establishment and operation within the nations of Brunei,
Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Tanzania,
Thailand and Uganda of Internet sites that will comprise discrete channels upon
one or more of our network of web sites.

         The master affiliate agreement requires Windfire to pay us a one time
fee of $1,500,000 on or before June 30, 2000, of which $500,000 has been
received to date.

         Windfire has also agreed to pay us commissions over the term of the
master affiliation agreement calculated upon specified percentages of annual
gross revenues, as defined in the agreement, received by Windfire from its
licensees. These commissions, which are payable on a quarter-annual basis, will
range from 10% to 30% of annual gross revenues, depending upon the specific
nation for which a license has been granted and the year during the term of the
agreement to which such revenues are attributable.

                              ------------------

         On May 10, 2000, our common stock and warrants were approved for

                                  RISK FACTORS

         Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set
forth below as well as the other information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus prior to making an investment in our common stock.

We have a limited operating history

         We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of
our business and prospects, having only commenced our initial business
operations in May 1999. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
difficulties and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in an early
stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets
such as the market for Internet broadcasting, services and advertising. These
risks include our ability to:

 .        provide compelling and unique content to Internet users;

 .        successfully market and sell our services; and

 .        effectively develop new and maintain existing relationships with
         companies in our affiliate program, advertisers, content providers,
         business customers and advertising agencies and other persons with
         which do business;

         As we have so little history of operations, investors will be unable to
assess our future operating performance or our future financial results or
condition by comparing these criteria against their past or present equivalents.

We expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future

         We have only recently recognized material revenues from services or
advertising and we have

                                       2
<PAGE>

experienced net losses since inception. We expect to incur significant losses on
both a quarterly and an annual basis for the foreseeable future. There can be no
assurance that we will ever achieve profitability.

We will be unable to attract viewers to our networks and their channels if the
public rejects streaming technology

         Our success will depend upon market acceptance of streaming technology
as an alternative to broadcast television. Without streaming technology, viewers
would not be able to initiate playback of our programming until such programming
is downloaded in its entirety, resulting in significant waiting times. The
acceptance of streaming technology will depend upon a number of factors,
including :

 .        market acceptance of streaming players such as Microsoft's Windows
         Media Player(TM) and RealNetworks'
         RealPlayer; and

 .        technological improvements to the Internet infrastructure to allow for
         improved video and audio quality
         and a reduction in Internet usage congestion;

Early streaming technology suffered from poor audio quality, and current video
streaming is of lower quality than conventional media broadcasts. In addition,
Internet congestion may interrupt audio and video streams, resulting in user
dissatisfaction. Our prospects will be adversely affected if streaming media
technology fails to achieve or maintain broad acceptance.

We are dependent on providers of streaming media products

         We rely on providers of streaming media products, such as Microsoft and
RealNetworks, to provide a broad base of users with streaming media software. We
currently license software products that enable the broadcast of streaming media
from such companies and others. We may need to acquire additional licenses to
meet our future needs. Users are currently able to download electronically
copies of Microsoft's Windows Media Player and RealNetwork's RealPlayer software
free of charge. If providers of streaming media products substantially increase
license fees charged to us for the use of their products or refuse to license
such products to us, our ability to provide streaming audio and video will be
adversely affected.

We may not be able to protect our proprietary rights

         We regard our copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, patents, and
similar intellectual property as significant to our growth and success. We rely
upon a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secret protection,
confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and contractual provisions with
our employees and with third parties to establish and protect our proprietary
rights. We have applied for federal trademark protection for our networks and
other channels and brands and intend to apply for federal trademark protection
for other marks and names used in our business. Legal standards relating to the
validity, enforceability and scope of protection of certain proprietary rights
in Internet-related industries are uncertain and still evolving. We are unable
to assure investors as to the future viability or value of any of our
proprietary rights or those of other companies within the industry. We are also
unable to assure investors that the steps taken by us to protect our proprietary
rights will be adequate. Furthermore, we can give no assurance that our business
activities will not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, or that
other parties will not assert infringement claims against us.

                                       3
<PAGE>

We will need significant additional financing to grow

         We will require substantial additional financing in order to seek to
expand our operations and to become a meaningful competitor in the Internet
broadcast industry. We have no current definitive arrangements with respect to
additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing will
be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Moreover, if we
raise this additional capital through borrowing or other debt financing, we
would incur substantial interest expense. Sales of additional equity securities
will dilute on a pro rata basis the percentage ownership of all holders of
common stock. Any inability to obtain additional financing will materially
adversely affect us, including possibly requiring us to significantly curtail
operations.

Government regulation of the Internet could slow its growth

         There are few laws or regulations directly applicable to the Internet.
For example, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, enacted into law in 1998,
protects certain qualifying online service providers from copyright infringement
liability, the Internet Tax Freedom Act, also enacted in 1998, placed a three
year moratorium on new state and local taxes on Internet access and commerce,
and under the Communications Decency Act, an Internet service provider will not
be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another
information content provider. The appeal of the Internet makes it likely,
however, that state or national laws may be implemented in the future covering
such issues as user privacy, defamatory speech, copyright infringement, pricing
and characteristics and quality of products and services. Any new law or
regulation may have the effect of limiting the use of the Internet and its
growth as a new medium to communicate.

         We currently do not collect sales or other taxes with respect to the
sale of services or products in states and countries where we believe we are not
required to do so. One or more states or countries have sought to impose sales
or other tax obligations on companies that engage in online commerce within
their jurisdictions. A successful assertion by one or more states or countries
that we should collect sales or other taxes on products and services, or remit
payment of sales or other taxes for prior periods, could adversely affect our
business.

We are dependent on certain third party content providers

         Our future success depends upon our ability to aggregate and deliver
compelling content over the Internet. Although we create our own content, we
also rely to some extent on third party content providers, such as television
stations and networks, businesses and other organizations, film producers and
distributors, and record labels for compelling and entertaining content. Our
ability to maintain and build relationships with content providers is critical
to our success. Although many of our agreements with third party content
providers are for initial terms of more than one year, such agreements may not
be renewed or may be terminated prior to the expiration of their terms if we do
not fulfill our contractual obligations. Our inability to secure licenses from
content providers or the termination of a significant number of content provider
agreements would decrease the availability of content that we can offer users.
Such inability or termination may result in decreased traffic on our Web sites
and, as a result, decreased advertising revenue, which could adversely affect
our business.

         Our agreements with certain of our content providers are nonexclusive,
and many of our competitors offer, or could offer, content that is similar to or
the same as that obtained by us from such nonexclusive content providers. Such
direct competition could dilute the value of the programming of

                                       4
<PAGE>

our networks and channels.

Our large number of shares available for future sale could adversely affect the
price of our securities

         Shares of our common stock owned by our affiliates, as this term is
defined in the Securities Act, will be restricted and subject to the limitations
of SEC Rule 144. Subject to certain contractual limitations, holders of
restricted shares generally will be entitled to sell these shares in the public
market without registration either pursuant to Rule 144 or any other applicable
exemption under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of restricted
shares when they become available for public sale, or the anticipation of such
sales, could adversely affect the then prevailing market price of our common
stock and may also impair our future ability to raise equity capital.

         Moreover, as of March 31, 2000, we had outstanding options and warrants
covering approximately 6.8 million shares of our common stock. Future sales of
any shares represented by outstanding options and warrants, or the anticipation
of such sales, could adversely affect the market price of our securities and
could materially impair our future ability to raise capital through an offering
of equity securities. Further, the exercise of certain of these warrants will
cause our stockholders to incur substantial dilution in future earning per
share, if any.


                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

          We will not receive the proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of
our common stock offered by the selling stockholder. If the outstanding warrants
owned by the selling stockholder are exercised in full, we will receive proceeds
of approximately $1.54 million which will be added to our working capital.


               INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE

         The SEC allows us to incorporate by reference the information we file
with it (File No. 1-15853), which means that we can disclose important
information to you by referring you to those documents. The information
incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus and
information we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede
this information. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and any
future filings made by us with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 until the sale of all of the shares of
common stock that are part of this offering. The documents we are incorporating
by reference are as follows:

          2000;

     .    our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 15, 2000;

     .    our proxy statement for our annual meeting of shareholders scheduled

     .    the description of our units, common stock and warrants
          contained in our registration statement on Form 8-A, including
          any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating

     Any statement contained in a document that is incorporated by reference
will be modified or superseded for all purposes to the extent that a statement
contained in this prospectus (or in any other document that is subsequently

(1)      Includes 705,263 shares of common stock underlying warrants.

         The sale of the selling stockholder's shares may be effected from time
to time in transactions, which may include block transactions by or for the
account of the selling stockholder, upon the American Stock Exchange or in
negotiated transactions, or through the writing of options on the selling
stockholder's shares, a combination of these methods of sale, or otherwise.
Sales may be made at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

         The selling stockholder may effect the transactions by selling its
shares directly to purchasers, through broker-dealers acting as agents for the
selling stockholder, or to broker-dealers who may purchase shares as principals
and thereafter sell the selling stockholder's shares from time to time in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise. In effecting
sales, brokers and dealers

                                       6

engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to
participate in resales. The selling stockholder may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers, and in connection with these transactions,
broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares. The selling stockholder
may also sell shares short and deliver these shares to close out its short
positions. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of these shares to
the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares. The
selling stockholder may also pledge these shares to a broker-dealer who, upon a
default, may sell or otherwise transfer these shares.

          These broker-dealers, if any, may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the
purchaser for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they may
sell as principals or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer
may be in excess of customary commissions.

          The selling stockholder and broker-dealers, if any, acting in
connection with these sales might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any commission they receive and
any profit upon the resale of the securities might be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

          We have advised the selling stockholder that during such time as it
may be engaged in a distribution of the common stock covered by this prospectus
it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes any selling
stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person
who participates in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or
attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the
subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the
price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of
the foregoing may affect the marketability of our common stock.

         Sales of any shares of common stock by the selling stockholder may
depress the price of the common stock in any market that may develop for the
common stock.

         Any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale
pursuant to SEC Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under that Rule
rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

         There can be no assurance that the selling stockholder will sell any or
all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.


                                 LEGAL MATTERS

          The validity of the shares of our common stock covered by this
prospectus has been passed upon by Cooperman Levitt Winikoff Lester & Newman,
P.C., New York, New York. Members of Cooperman Levitt beneficially own shares of
our common stock.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Except as set forth in this Item 15, there is no statute, charter
provision, by-law, contract or other arrangement under which any controlling
person, director or officer of registrant is insured or indemnified in any
manner against liability which he may incur in his capacity as such.

     Article FIFTH of the Certificate of Incorporation of Medium4.com, Inc.
("Registrant") provides that Registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent
permitted by Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
as amended from time to time, each of its officers and directors, such right to
indemnification being expressed in said Article FIFTH as a contractual right,
and may so indemnify such other persons that such Sections grant Registrant the
power to indemnify. Article FIFTH of the Certificate of Incorporation of
Registrant also provides that no director shall be liable to the corporation or
any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except with respect to (1) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)
liability under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4) a
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     Section 145 of the DGCL grants the registrant the power to indemnify
existing and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant
who are sued or threatened to be sued because they are or were directors,
officers, employees and agents of the registrant.

     Registrant maintains a policy of insurance under which its directors and
officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the
policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of, and certain
liabilities which might be imposed as a result of, actions, suits or proceedings
to which they are parties by reason of being or having been such directors or
officers.

Item 17. Undertakings.

       The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

       (1)     To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.

       (2)     That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each post-effective
amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

       (3)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

       (4)     That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act") that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
Registrant pursuant to Item 15 of this Part II to the Registration Statement, or
otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the

                                      II-2
<PAGE>

payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against the public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
