Acquisition of Next Generation Media Corp.
------------------------------------------
On May 1, 2000, the BigHub.com, Inc. ("BigHub") completed its acquisition of 52%
of the outstanding common stock of Next Generation Media Corporation ("NexGen").
BigHub purchased the shares of NexGen common stock using 1,079,545 shares of
BigHub common stock and options to acquire an additional 700,000 shares of
BigHub common stock as consideration. The NexGen common stock was valued at
$1.70 per share, while BigHub's common stock was valued at $5.00 per share, both
based on market prices of the stock. The securities purchased from NexGen
consisted of (i) 661,404 shares of NexGen common stock which were converted from
247,365 shares of NexGen's Series A Preferred Stock held by 25 shareholders (the
"Series A Preferred Stockholders"); (ii) 94,581 shares of NexGen common stock
paid to the Series A Preferred Stockholders as dividends; (iii) options to
purchase 164,915 shares of NexGen common stock, with an exercise price of $.16
per share, assigned to BigHub by the Series A Preferred Stockholders; (iv)
options to purchase 300,000 shares of NexGen common stock, with an exercise
price of $.50, from Gerard R. Bernier and Joel Sens; and (v) 2,419,115 shares of
common stock held by Gerard Bernier, Joel Sens and John Banas. On a fully
diluted basis, BigHub owns 69% of NexGen.
The total number of BigHub shares paid as consideration for the NexGen
securities was 1,079,545, which had a value of $1,821,732 on the date of the
transaction based on the closing bid price of BigHub's common stock on that
date. Gerard Bernier, Joel Sens, and John Banas, received an aggregate of
822,499 shares of BigHub common stock, while the remaining shareholders of
NexGen received an aggregate of 257,046 shares of BigHub common stock. In
addition, Mr. Bernier and Mr. Sens received options to purchase 300,000 shares
of BigHub's common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share and options to
purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of BigHub's common stock at an exercise
price of $5.50 per share.
The difference between the fair market value of NexGen's tangible assets and the
purchase price will be accounted for as goodwill and will be amortized over ten
years, the expected benefit period.

Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions
-------------------------------------
(a) On May 1, 2000, the BigHub.com, Inc. ("BigHub") completed its acquisition
of Next Generation Media Corp. ("NexGen"). BigHub purchased the shares of
NexGen common stock using shares of BigHub common stock as consideration.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase business combination.
The total purchase price for this transaction based on the closing bid
price of BigHub's common stock on May 1, 2000 was $1,821,732. The following
represents the allocation of the purchase price over the historical net
book value of the acquired assets and liabilities of NexGen at December 31,
1999, and is for illustrative pro forma purposes only. Actual fair values
will be based on financial information as of the acquisition date (May 1,
2000), which are not expected to be significantly different from the
historical net book value of the acquired assets and liabilities. Assuming
the transaction occurred on October 31, 1999, the allocation would have
been as follows:
Cash 263,517
AR 546,421
Inventories 107,094
PP&E 1,431,632
Other assets 1,195,572
Total liabilities (2,830,812)
-----------
Net assets 713,424
-----------
69% of Net assets $ 492,263
Goodwill 1,329,469
-----------
$ 1,821,732
===========
This allocation is preliminary and may be subject to change upon evaluation
of the fair value of NexGen's acquired assets and liabilities as of the
acquisition date as well as the potential identification of certain
intangible assets
(b) Goodwill will be amortized over a period of 10 years, the expected period
of benefit. The Pro Forma adjustment to the Pro Forma Statement of
Operations reflects twelve months of amortization expense for the year
ended October 31, 1999, assuming the transaction occurred on November 1,
1998. The Pro Forma adjustment to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations
reflects six months of amortization expense for the six months ended April
30, 2000.
Approximately $944,000 of NexGen's Redeemable preferred stock Series A was
converted to common stock in connection with the acquisition and has been
reflected in the Pro Forma adjustments.
