Item 1: Description of Business
A. Overview
Edumedia Software Solutions Corporation, formerly known as Icon Acquisition
Corp. ("Edumedia" or the "Company"), is a full service computer hardware and
software technology supplier. Edumedia has been in the business of providing
technology solutions to K-12 educational institutions, real estate and legal
firms, and other business clients in the New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania
regions since its incorporation as Edumedia, Inc. (a New Jersey corporation) in
1995.
Historically, we have focused on the sale of computer hardware and standard
software packages to our various clients. Considering the declining margins on
computer hardware, we are shifting our sales focus to software, technology
solutions, and Internet and Intranet networking. Seeking to build upon our
established relationships with several educational industry clients, we are
planning the development and sale of a new educational software product: a
Web-based Digital Portfolio and Assessment Tool.
B. Corporate History
Edumedia Software Solutions Corporation ("Edumedia" or the "Company") was
incorporated as Icon Acquisition Corp. ("Icon") in the state of New York on
November 28, 19941, and engaged in the business of mining tungsten and other
precious metals in Canada, until October 10, 2000 when it acquired Edumedia,
Inc., a New Jersey corporation, in a merger transaction. The Company filed a
Form D with the SEC in October 1996, utilizing an exemption from registration
under Rule 504 of Regulation D of the 1933 Securities Act, in order to
distribute 8,573,337 shares of common stock to 1081 shareholders as a dividend
distribution to the stockholders of SLP Technology Corp., with such transaction
deemed as a recapitalization pursuant to the express provisions of Rule
144(d)(3)(viii) and SEC Release Number 6862.
Icon voted to enter into a stock-for-stock exchange between Icon and the
shareholders of Edumedia, Inc. on April 26, 2000, whereby Icon acquired 100% of
the shares in Edumedia in return for twelve million four hundred thousand four
hundred (12,400,000) restricted shares of Icon.2. Edumedia then effectively
became a subsidiary of Icon, and subsequently merged into the Company in the
state of New York on October 10, 2000, which became effective in New York upon
filing3. The Company then elected the Officers and Directors of Edumedia, Inc.
as its Officers and Directors, who then elected to change the name of the
Company from Icon Acquisition Corp. to Edumedia Software Solutions Corporation.
As such, we now perform all operations and sell all products and services as
Edumedia Software Solutions Corporation. As a result of the Merger and
subsequent transactions, the Company's current capitalization consists of
100,000,000 authorized shares, of which 13,713,509 are issued and outstanding.

<PAGE>
Edumedia, Inc. was incorporated in New Jersey on October 12, 1995. In 1998,
Edumedia, Inc. acquired certain assets of GB Consulting, a computer company
located in Millville, NJ for a total consideration of US$200,000. The assets
listed in the agreement which the Company acquired included customer list with
over 1000 accounts (40 School Districts), the active New Jersey State contract
for mini/micro computer equipment as an approved vendor, and the inventory and
the fixed assets at location 129 North High Street, excluding accounts
receivable, short and long term liabilities which originated before August 1998,
and bank accounts. Intangibles included Good Will and a covenant not to
compete.4
We are filing this Form 10-SB voluntarily with the intention of establishing
fully reporting status with the SEC. The fully reporting status with the SEC is
a necessary step in accomplishing our goal of establishing a market for our
equity securities sometime in the future. Consequently, the Company will
continue to voluntarily file all necessary reports and forms as required by
existing legislation and the SEC rules.
C. General Products and Services
Edumedia provides computer related products and services to a variety of
clients, most prominently K-12 educational institutions, in New Jersey and New
York, and is striving to expand the geographic market for its products and
services to Pennsylvania and Delaware. Our primary target clients include
educational institutions, federal and state government contracts,
retailers/wholesalers and distributors, law offices, and real estate offices.
Our business strategy for the future concentrates on a gradual transition to
higher profit margin products and services, namely: educational software
solutions, Internet/Intranet network infrastructure, IT services, and hardware,
software, and video teleconferencing solutions.
The products and services provided to educational institutions include
technology planning, assessment of New Jersey state mandated core curriculum
applications, educational multimedia software, Federal, State and Foundation
grant research and writing services, administrative and classroom management
software, computer and networking hardware, distance learning infrastructure,

D. New Web-based Multimedia Individualized Student Task Management and
Performance Assessment Tool
The Product
The Company is seeking to develop a multimedia individualized student
task management and performance assessment tool that would allow
students to create a digital portfolio of their entire academic career.
This product will be Web-based, and as such will allow easy access to
students. It would allow teachers to create in-depth Performance Tasks
that can incorporate state standards, district or course goals, and
guidelines for evaluation of the students' work. Students will be able
to complete these various tasks utilizing a variety of multimedia
tools, while receiving ongoing teacher review and feedback. The system
would enable students to save their best work on CD, or a personal WWW
page, thus creating multimedia portfolios that can detail their skills
and progress throughout their K-12 education. The Company plans to
co-develop this product with the assistance of a software development
and programming company that has not yet been selected.
Development and Marketing
The Company has identified strategic partners to pilot the final
development of this product, prior and during the commercial release.
Pilot partners to date for the product development include the Miller
School in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and the Camden County Educational
Technology Training Center (ETTC) in Southeastern New Jersey. The
Company is seeking a pilot partnership with an existing Charter School
in Southeastern Pennsylvania, as these schools are by definition
innovative and progressive in their methods of education. We plan to
have additional pilot partners identified by December 2000. We are also
seeking endorsement by a teaching University to partner in a pilot
program as well.
Edumedia has contacted other ETTC's in New Jersey, and has plans to
offer seminars to them after product launch. Edumedia will include
Ohio, New York and Delaware with similar marketing arrangements, where
key market zones are identified and where Edumedia will have the
personnel to exclusively service this area.
Software Requirements, Functionality and Computing Platform
The first task of the development team is a clear understanding of the
software requirements, application functionality, and scope of the
project as defined by Company management and application content team.
The application content team has defined the software and content
requirements, which, along with the technical team's project motto of
"simplicity, flexibility, and robustness," will be our guiding
principles during software application development.
A very important technical consideration is the average computing skill
and computing platform available to the targeted end users: students,
teachers, and administrators of public and non-public K-12 and Higher
5
<PAGE>
Education learning institutions. Typically, the technical expertise and
availability of technical staff at the K-12 level is minimal. To be
received well by end users, the application must be simple to install
and deploy across the network, and require minimal support from the end
user's technical staff.
Macintosh and Windows based operating systems comprise the majority of
public, private, and higher education computing platforms. Linux is
also becoming a viable operating system for education institutions due
to its growing acceptance in the business community and its reduced
cost of ownership. K-12 education institutions typically have a local
area network or intra-net in place, or are working towards that goal in
the near future. This software tool must accommodate the end users
environments described above.
E. The Educational Market
Edumedia's primary market for its products and services has been and will
continue to be the educational market. The education industry in America is
comprised of 53 million students, 3.1 million teachers, and 15,000 school
districts including 1100 charter schools nationwide. This large base of
students, teachers, and administrators are targeted users of the proposed
application. Private investment in education related technology has been growing
at an annual rate of 113% from 1993 through 1999 (See Inc. Magazine, July 2000
edition and www.eduventures.com). According to industry expert and
eduventures.com analyst, Tom Evans it is likely that revenues in the sector will
see as much as 100% to 200% growth in 2000. Through the Federal e-rate program
(under the Telecommunications Act 1996) over $2.2 billion dollars per year are
spent on building infrastructure in America's schools, while the next stage of
development is to include the associated software solutions and staff training.
This is critical since nearly 60% of today's teachers privately admit to lacking
basic computer skills. The states are spending at a high rate as well such that
in New Jersey alone a recently enacted law will bring $12 billion dollars in
education funding through the year 2002.
Most of the State Departments of Education have mandated specific core
curriculum content standards and required reporting mechanisms that show
evidence of technology applications in education. School Districts' funding
sources from the state and federal level are becoming more and more restricted
to compliance with the core standards, and performance based on reported
assessment results. A new paradigm in education is evolving such that the focus
is increasingly on actual student learning rather than the subject matter taught
to them, with educators being held accountable. Many states have identified and
mandated specific core curriculum content standards and the student must
demonstrate achievement according to them in all subject areas. A major issue,
therefore, is just how student achievement can be more effectively measured.
Test scores alone are not the best way to assess student performance and
intellectual growth. Although standardized tests are needed to make comparisons
on a national or regional level, "authentic assessment" records the "real world"
capabilities of students and teachers alike, and provides a rich chronicle of
relevant development. Some states, such as Vermont and Kentucky, already require
portfolios in addition to report cards and transcripts.
More specifically for illustration, with the adoption of Chapter 4: Academic
Standards and Assessment in Pennsylvania, schools will need technological tools
that help to meet state standards, and to demonstrate that they are met.
Software solutions such as the new digital portfolio tool of the Company will
have to meet certain specific requirements by providing Curriculum Alignment,
Performance Task Development, Authentic Assessment, Curriculum Integration, Oral
Presentations on digital media, and Prescriptive Reporting capabilities. Indeed,
the standards demand the infusion of technology into the whole curriculum. The
6
<PAGE>
Governor's Advisory Commission on Academic Standards stated: "Through a system
of academic standards and tests or assessments keyed to those standards, it will
be possible to determine the progress schools make from year to year."
'Performance Funds', and other incentive rewards, will be given to schools that
can show significant improvement in student achievement and effort based upon
these standards. Consequently, schools will be looking for solutions that both
infuse technology into the curriculum, and offer the type of curricular
reinforcement, assessment, and demonstration of academic standards being sought.
A survey by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Education (PDE) in 1995 showed that 88% of
the respondents are investigating or implementing portfolio assessment programs
in their districts. With the Company's technical expertise in educational
technology it can emerge as a leading solution provider to these schools,
providing a level of support which includes not only the sale of software and
hardware, but continued training and technical support.
The Company's new Web-based digital portfolio and assessment tool will
incorporate all required features. The Company understands the need for an
effective program to document student achievement that utilizes the most current
technology today while meeting state mandated standards.
F. Marketing and Product Recognition Strategy
Pilot Programs
The pilot programs for the new Web-based software product are expected to begin
during 1st Quarter of 2001, and will provide relevant product information that
is critical to a subsequent successful market launch, expected in 2nd Quarter,
2001. Our experience indicates that the training components are the key to
successful market acceptance of a new technical product. Through the Company's
pilot partners, the software program will establish its reputation with other
neighboring districts and technology administrators for referral sales. Edumedia
will emphasize the training component to various district clients within its
target market of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio. With commercial product
launch expected in April 2001, software related sales for the first year (fiscal
year July 2001-June 2002) are projected to be upwards of USD $2 Million.
We estimate that once the Mid-Atlantic States market is penetrated, within a
short time the model can be duplicated and expanded on a national level. When
accepted as a desirable and proven product, it may attract suitors and strategic
partners who will be interested in expanding the product's market exposure. The
final product is expected to be successful and in high demand because it will
provide:
1) A user friendly design;
2) A solution to state mandates attractive for administrators;
3) A solution for teachers who need an efficient tool for weekly lesson
planning which aligns to curriculum standards;
4) A multi-faceted tool for assessment of achievement to governmental
officials, employers, and educational institutions;
5) An easy to navigate tool for parents to access their children's
performance and achievement records from home;
6) The ability for students to understand grading guidelines through
self-assessment and the use of rubrics to reflect and build on past
accomplishments; and
7) The ability for teachers to create digital portfolio and
self-assessment through rubrics with standards established by the
School District or University.

<PAGE>
Value Added Re-sellers
Integrated Learning Systems (ILS) have indicated that digital portfolio and
authentic assessment are desired features for their target markets, but have not
offered a well-rounded digital portfolio solution. ILS's are large well-funded
companies with substantial market exposure, and may as such consider this
software application to be a desirable add-on component. Once this application
has earned a solid reputation as a valuable learning tool, it is anticipated
that various marketing agents, ILS's, and distributors will seek to resell our
products.
Pricing Strategy
The software pricing shall initially be designed to gain immediate market share,
and to pre-empt competition in the geographic market. Preliminary pricing is
competitively positioned with other educational applications, and is structured
on a per user license basis of $49.95 for each retail sale. Competing programs
of some of the larger ILS's, for example, charge $49.95 for their base software
and offer additional options that are add-ons at approximately $29.95 per
additional feature. Retail licenses may be discounted for volume purchases in
multiples of five ($225 each 5 pack) with one installation CD and one
documentation CD to be provided for every ten users. For purchases of 100 or
greater licenses, the price is intended to be $2,500 for a 100 pack. For
purchases of 1,000 or greater licenses, the projected retail price is $20,000.
Distributor pricing will be structured at a 35-50% discount for the top tier
large volume distributors, 25-35% for regional authorized re-sellers, and
special considerations will be offered to select value added re-sellers. By
meeting the competition pricing, the Company believes that it will encourage
potential customers to compare and choose our software over competing
applications.
G. Distribution Model
Direct Sales
Within our geographical market (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and
Delaware), the Company has and will continue to concentrate direct sales efforts
on maintaining close relationships with key individuals. We have become
recognized for our professional responsiveness. A substantial portion (81%) of
our annual income is due to repeat business with pre-existing clients, which
reflects the level of current customer satisfaction.
The initial goal of our marketing approach is to build product awareness and
introduce the new product to key decision-makers that hold influence in the
marketplace. Typically, the decision-making process for the district's
purchasing is initiated through contacts with the Curriculum Supervisor and/or
Technology Coordinator of the school district. Also critical to the process is
recognition and endorsement by the school board.
National Wholesaler
Edumedia is considering the Academic Distributing, Inc.
(www.academic-wholesale.com) as a national sales and distribution outlet. The
cost of utilizing this wholesaler's services is $10,000 per year in addition to
discounted volume purchasing benefits (50% off list), and is considered
reasonable and cost-effective. The national wholesaler will supplement the
8
<PAGE>
marketing/distributing model that we plan to have in place by providing the
ability to penetrate other markets beyond the Mid-Atlantic states without any
increases in overhead costs, advertising, or staff. Academic Distributing
supplies computer related products through its re-sellers located throughout the
United States. Existing Edumedia authorized distributors have a productive
relationship with Academic Distributing, and they have provided the re-sellers
with product support, order fulfillment, billing and collections, and prompt
distribution. Edumedia is in the final stages of contracting with this firm,
which should be completed prior to product testing during early 2001.
The national marketing distributor is expected to contribute approximately 15%
of total software sales. All national sales outside the immediate geographical
market will be filled and distributed from the wholesale distribution firm.
Other services they provide will include:
o Marketing in their catalogs;
o Sales support and training though their re-seller channel; o Conducting
informational seminars; and o Trade Show participation.
Strategic Authorized Distributors
The company is establishing contractual relationships with three educational
software re-sellers who will provide prominent roles in the development and
training aspects of the product launch. These distributors have helped to
develop program sales and implementation policies and procedures based on their
experience. These strategic partners will be direct participants in pilot
program development. These strategic partners will be able to purchase the
software at wholesale discount of 25 to 50%.
Independent Sales Representatives
The Company is seeking to establish a network of independent sales reps that
will be authorized to sell and distribute the software in their specified
geographic regions. Such independent agents typically carry other complimentary
product lines of non-competing manufacturers and will help to expand sales
through their client base. The agents will provide the necessary staff
development and training support to their clients, which will be directed by
rigid training guidelines. To implement this, all newly authorized agents will
be required to undergo in-house training. All representatives will receive
compensation in discounted sales of approximately 25% to 30% off manufacturers
list price.
In-house Marketing and Support
In addition to the National Distributor, Authorized Resellers, and Independent
Representatives, the Company will hire, train, and compensate a full time direct
marketing that will sell only our products and services. The initial in-house
marketing plan details direct mail, mass fax, and mass e-mailing activity to
strategic targeted accounts including existing accounts to introduce the new
software product. Direct sales calls will include appointments with key contacts
within the school districts.
H. Competition
The market for computer products and services is very competitive. Edumedia
competes primarily with local and regional technology providers, as well as with
several national companies. The Company has obtained a competitive edge in the
9
<PAGE>
industry by focusing not only on hardware, but also by broadening its scope to
include software and the networking aspects of technology implementation. This
distinguishes us from limited vendors, who only provide either hardware or
software and are thereby restricted to that extent.
From the beginning of a project to the end, our services are all encompassing.
We commence our client relationships with a professional, in-depth assessment of
what is currently in place in the client's system. Many of our competitors
engage in generic bid specifications for client requests, which is likely to
result in incompatible software and hardware. This commonly leads to finger
pointing between hardware and software vendors, which is counterproductive. By
becoming a full-service technology provider, we can effectively produce the
results our clients want without unnecessary interference.
The list below consists of local competitors in our present geographic market in
New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania that have resources available to offer or
refer computer repair, on-site service, training, support, classroom training,
software and hardware.

Direct Competitors
With respect to our digital portfolio software under development, there are five
identified competing products on the market, including Edmin; Superscool; Grady
Profile, and the SASI Curriculum Management Group. However, easy access via the
Internet, the comparative user-friendliness, a strong staff training philosophy
for successful implementation, rubrics for assessment at the student, teacher,
and district level, curriculum alignment in lesson planning demonstrating
compliance with state mandated core curriculum content standards, and across the
curriculum application among multiple subject areas will set the Company and its
new software application apart from others.
It is too early to identify competing software programs that are similar to
Edumedia's proposed program, and assess their market performance. Although many
products have been R & D stages for several years, the national trend in
educational techniques is just now maturing to permit commercial acceptance into
10
<PAGE>
the market. Until recently these concepts were thought to be strictly academic
and theoretical. Edmin, a California based competitor that has previously
offered task specific products, has reported meteoritic growth with the
introduction of a new software featuring assessment tools similar to Edumedia's
Web-based product which is currently under development. Despite the fact that
Edmin has clearly established itself as a market leader in a short period of
time by becoming the first to market such a product, and by creating a strategic
alliance with a marketing powerhouse such as Compaq, its software lacks emphasis
on four program features which, in our assessment, are critical:
o Ease of use
o Strong staff training philosophy for successful implementation o Rubrics for
assessment at the student, teacher, and district level o Curriculum alignment in
lesson planning which demonstrates compliance
with state mandated core curriculum content standards, and across the
curriculum application among multiple subject areas.
Furthermore, due to the immensity and diversity of the market Edmin's early
success does not preclude Edumedia and other market entrants from achieving
substantial market penetration. Another advantage that Edumedia has over
identified competitors is its strong local presence, affiliations, and existing
customer base. The Company has the ability to develop a network of local
providers with accessible, available, and skillful technical support staff.
According to the Company's marketing and distribution model described above each
direct and authorized re-seller will emphasize essential staff development and
training for the teachers and administrators. The training to implement these
software programs has been neglected by competitors who seem to have ignored the
fact that 60% of teachers lack basic computer skills.
There is a number other companies not listed as direct competitors below which
have used the term 'digital portfolio' with respect to certain software
products, none of which addresses more than one of the features identified in a
well focused digital portfolio solution as defined by state departments of
education. An assumption should also be made that there are a number of
potential direct competitors, however, the majority of these companies currently
lack the financial resources necessary to achieve national recognition in the
educational software market.
The following is the current list of identified competitors to date:
1. Edmin.com
2. SuperSchool
3. Aurbach & Associates Grady Profile
4. The SASI Curriculum Management Group
11
<PAGE>
Indirect Competitors
Indirect competitors in the marketplace include the following:
1. Integrated Learning Systems (ILS's), such as Computer Curriculum Corp.,
which are large software programming companies. Edumedia will have the
opportunity to contract with these companies in order to provide
digital profile/assessment software as a companion to their product
spectrum;
2. Fully integrated computer companies, such as Compaq and IBM, which
offer the entire spectrum of technology in the education arena but do
not specifically supply 'Digital Portfolio Assessment Tools'; and
3. Upstart web portals, such as Lightspan and BigChalk who carry bundled
software resources on their sites, but do not currently offer any
digital portfolio assessment tools.
1. Integrated Learning Systems (ILS) companies
-------------------------------------------
These companies offer instructional courseware focusing on the various specific
curriculum areas which are standardized in the K-12 education market. ILS's have
curriculum management tools already in place as their primary purpose is to
monitor student strengths and weaknesses through curriculum exercises in all
skills outlined in standard curriculum and tests, and then suggest additional
exercises as a remedy to strengthen their weaknesses. This process is referred
to as prescriptive reporting. This curriculum management feature is very similar
to the prescriptive reporting feature of the software which Edumedia is
currently developing.
Despite the apparent similarities with ILS products, there are unique remedial
features in Edumedia's software. The limiting factors to the implementation and
utilization of ILS products are that they are highly interactive and cumbersome
for the novice user. They currently have neglected to implement multimedia
digital portfolios although they recognize the need.
Major ILSs include:
o Computer Curriculum Corp.
(http://www.cccnet.com,http://www.ccclearn.com/)
o JostensComputer Corner (http://www.jostenslearning.com)
o TRO/Plato (http://metalab.unc.edu/cmc/mag/1994/jul/plato.html)
o SkillsBank
(http://www.learningcompanyschool.com/solutions/products/sb4over.htm)
2. Fully integrated computer hardware and software companies
---------------------------------------------------------
These include Compaq, IBM, and Apple who offer the entire spectrum of technology
in the education arena, but not specifically offering any digital portfolio
assessment tools. We have authorization to resell the product lines available
from these companies.
3. Upstart Web Portals
-------------------
These feature bundled software resources on their sites, covering all technology
areas including lesson planning, attendance record keeping, curriculum alignment
and management, subscriptions to on-line curriculum companies, and distance
learning tools. However, they are not specifically offering any digital
portfolio assessment tools at this time. These include:
o Learning Pays.Com (www.learningpays.com)
o Lightspan (www.lightspan.com)
o Task Stream (www.taskstream.com)
o Novanet
o Big Chalk
o PowerSchool (www.powerschool.com)

<PAGE>
The features of Edumedia's new Web-based digital portfolio software are unique,
and the market for this brand of technology is rapidly evolving. Through public
trade shows, interviews with key individuals, and company research, we have
identified a large demand for our product's characteristics. The depth and
nature of the market dictates that others will soon be offering a competing or
similar software product. This represents both an opportunity and a risk for the
Company as a rapid commercial offering with sufficient marketing resources is
essential to ensure an immediate and substantial market share. Once brand
identity is established within the Mid Atlantic states' market, other dominant
software/ hardware companies may wish to enter this niche to develop their own
competing product, or to purchase our product outright.
I. Intellectual Property
The Company has rights on the name "Edumedia" as a registered service mark until
2007. There is no other intellectual property owned by the Company at present
time. We will seek intellectual property rights and protection for our Web-based
Digital Portfolio and Assessment software product once the product passes the
final stages of planning, and we select and enter into a co-development
arrangement with a programming and software consulting company to develop the
new software product.
J. Principal Suppliers
Edumedia, being a full service computer hardware, software, and service value
added retailer, necessarily maintains relationships with a large number and wide
variety of product suppliers. Since 1995 the Company has secured business
partnerships with several major hardware and software providers. As a result, we
are a Symantec Authorized Developer, Hewlett Packard Authorized Reseller, IBM
Business Partner, Dell Authorized Dealer, Compaq Authorized Reseller, 3COM
Authorized Reseller, Microsoft Solution Provider, and Adobe Authorized Reseller.
In addition, we serve as an Authorized Microsoft Testing Center, and an A+
Certified Service Center. Additionally, our inventory includes products from
several other leading manufacturers of the computer hardware and software
industry, including American Power Conversion, Corel, Epson America, Intel,
Iomega, Kingston Technology, Lexmark, NEC Technologies, Novell, Okidata,
Seagate, Sony, Toshiba, ViewSonic, and Western Digital.
K. Major Customers
We have built solid business relationships with our clients evidenced by repeat
business with over 60 law offices, 40 school districts, and more than 20
government accounts.

Results of Operations
Over the past eight years, our revenues have increased steadily at rates between
20% and 70% annually. On December 31, 1998 we had accumulated total assets worth
USD $1,210,442.95, of which $14,417.72 were fixed assets, while accounts
receivable worth $673,929.86 and an inventory of $253,528.36 represented a bulk
of the total then-current assets valued at $972,952.99. Accounting for total
liabilities of $1,046,029.93, equity was worth $164,413.02. In the year 1998,
the Company generated total revenues of $2,125,101.49. Operating expenses
amounted in all to $2,035,594.47 resulting in a net income of $89,507.02 for the
year ending December 31, 1998.
By December 31, 1999 our total assets had increased to $2,874,780.62: then
current assets stood at $1,950,585.49 with accounts receivable representing
$918,556.95 of these. Fixed assets increased in value to $46,967.02. Accounting
for total liabilities of $2,531,334.54, equity was worth $343,446.08. In the
year 1999, the Company generated total revenues of $2,967,670.42, representing
an increase of 39.65% from 1998. However, due to long payment times exceeding
120 days, deferred revenues totaling $554,546.00 from federal grants were not
included in the sales figures for 1999. Operating expenses amounted in all to
$3,892,634.27 resulting in a net loss of $924,963.85 for the year ending
December 31, 1999.
15
<PAGE>
Financial statements for the first three Quarters of the year 2000 show that as
of June 30, 2000 our total assets stood at $1,745,304.06: then-current assets
were worth $1,424,788.32 with accounts receivable representing $983,980.48 of
these. Accounting for total liabilities of $1,425,959.37, equity was worth
$319,344.69. In the first nine months of 2000 the Company generated total
revenues of $1,234,749.62. Operating expenses amounted in all to $660,495.01
resulting in a net profit of $574,254.61.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company's working capital needs have been satisfied through
obtaining interest bearing loans equity investment from various investors. The
Company commenced an offering of its securities in July of 1999, which the
Company believes is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the 1933
Securities Act, whereby the Company has thus far sold 5,063,094 shares of its
common stock in return for US$2,006,424 to a total of 63 investors. For a
complete description of the private offering see the section on Recent Sales of
Unregistered Securities infra.
As clearly indicated by the figures cited in the above section, despite
increasing revenue figures on an annual basis, the Company has endured cash flow
constraints. This has largely been due to the fact that to date the Company has
relied on interest bearing loans to finance its operations and growth as opposed
to equity infusion. Furthermore, a majority of the Company's clients are
educational institutions (schools) and state-run educational agencies: such
accounts receivable take much more time due to the bureaucratic process
involved. Considering further the capital-intensive nature of a hardware
inventory necessary for successful operations, the Company has had significant
cash flow problems. This has resulted in a situation wherein despite increasing
sales and revenue generation the Company has lacked the ability to pay bills and
satisfy creditors. This has resulted in certain legal proceedings against the
Company by dissatisfied creditors. See Item 2 of Part II of this Form 10-SB on
Legal Proceedings.
The Company anticipates meeting its working capital needs during year 2002 and
thereafter primarily with revenues from operations. Until that time, Management
anticipates the need for approximately US$2,500,000-$3,500,000 in additional
capital to continue its marketing and sales growth, for distribution of its
educational software and hardware products, and to cover costs of meeting its
reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, including legal and accounting
expenses. The Company will seek to borrow these funds and/or raise such funds
through either the public or private sale of its common stock. No assurances can
be given that such financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on
terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to secure
financing from the sale of its securities or from private lenders, Management
believes that the Company will find it hard to continue operating until revenues
from current operations increase over time during the year 2001.
Management feels that while $1 million is the minimal amount of funds needed to
drive substantial revenue growth during 2001 without engaging in proprietary
product development, the optimal amount needed, based on Management's analysis,
is approximately $4 million within the first 6 months of year 2001, and an
additional $3,000,000 to $6,000,000 during the rest of year 2001, which would be
used to substantially expand the Digital Portfolio and Assessment software
16
<PAGE>
product's presence in US and international markets. A better understanding of
the Company's future investment goals and strategy can be gleaned from the
following projected use of proceeds from any future equity offering:
EXPENDITURE AMOUNT PERCENTAGE
-------------------------------------------------------
R & D Expense $ 1,500,000 39.1%
Working Capital $ 750,000 19.5%
Sales (SADA) $ 450,000 11.7%
Professional Fees $ 100,000 2.6%
Short Term Liabilities $ 850,000 22.1%
Long Term Liabilities $ 13,000 0.3%
Tax Liabilities $ 175,000 4.6%
-------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL $ 3,838,000 100%
It must be stressed however, that the amounts set forth above are only
estimates, and the Company is unable to predict precisely what amount will be
used for any particular purpose. Nonetheless, this suggested use of proceeds
indicates a focus on the effective sales and marketing of educational software
as well as an expansion of manpower and the continued development of technology.
Plan of Operation
The Company sells a variety of computer related products, including hardware,
networking infrastructure, educational software, IT solutions and support
services. With prices and margins on computer hardware declining rapidly,
Edumedia will focus more of its efforts in the future on developing and selling
higher margin software and web-based products. To that end, the Company has, and
will expend significant amounts of money, up to $1,500,000, during 2001 in order
to develop a proprietary digital portfolio manager.
Based on key assumptions, projected financing of $4,000,000, and market trends
and analysis, the Company has completed the following financial projections for
the years 2001 through 2003:

In the event that only limited additional financing is received, the Company
understands that it may not be able to withstand the intense competition it may
face from larger and more adequately financed companies. Even if the Company
succeeds in obtaining the level of funding it considers necessary there are no
guarantees that these projected revenues and/or profits will materialize. In
fact, keeping in mind the possibility of spiralling R & D expenses involved with
developing new software and related technology, the Company can give no
assurances of any kind regarding funding, revenues, costs, expenses, and/or
profits.
Item 3: Description of Property

Item 7: Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
1. The Company was incorporated as Icon Acquisition Corp. ("Icon") in the
state of New York on November 28, 1994. Subsequent to its incorporation
8,573,337 shares of Icon Common Stock were issued to 1081 shareholders in
an offering pursuant to Regulation D, Rule 504. The Company was a
development stage company from that date until October 10, 2000 when it
acquired Edumedia, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, in a merger transaction.
See paragraph 5 below.
2. In August 1998 Edumedia, Inc. (NJ) acquired certain assets of a 9-year old
New Jersey state contracted vendor, GB Consulting. This company specialized
in the sale of computer hardware, software, services, networking, and
consulting to School Districts and commercial clients within the state of
New Jersey. Certain specified assets of GB Consulting were purchased by
Edumedia, Inc. excluding accounts receivable, short and long term
liabilities, which originated before August 1998, and bank accounts. Assets
listed in the agreement which the Company acquired included customer list
with over 1000 accounts (40 School Districts), the active New Jersey State

inventory and the fixed assets at location 129 North High Street.
Intangibles included Good Will and a covenant not to compete.
The Company paid $35,000 as down payment for a total purchase price of
$200,000. A 2% commission for sales was to be paid under a consulting
agreement with the prior proprietor of the business, George Chopeck, until
the total purchase price of $200,000 was thus fully paid.
3. In July of 1999, Edumedia NJ issued 500,000 Common Shares to Rosewood
International Investment Corporation in exchange for $25,000 and various
services.
21
<PAGE>
4. In September 1999, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with
Sierra Advisors, Inc. whereby Sierra would provide the Company with legal,
financial planning and consulting services in return for 125,000 shares of
its Common Stock, to be issued as per an S-8 registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
5. On October 10, 2000 the Company merged Edumedia, Inc., a New Jersey
corporation incorporated on October 12, 1995 in a stock for stock exchange.
The Company agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Edumedia,
Inc. in return for twelve million four hundred thousand four hundred
(12,400,000) restricted shares of Icon. As a result of the merger each
outstanding share of Common Stock of the surviving corporation was
converted into one-half (0.5) of one (1) share, and each share of the
predecessor corporation was converted into one (1) share of the surviving
corporation. Subsequent to the merger, the Company elected the Officers and
Directors of Edumedia, Inc. as its Officers and Directors8, who then
elected to change the name of the Company from Icon Acquisition Corp. to
Edumedia, Software Solutions Corporation. As such, the Company now performs
all operations and sells all products and services as Edumedia, Software
Solutions Corporation. As a result of the Merger, the Company's
capitalization consists of 20,000,000 authorized shares, of which
16,686,669 were issued and outstanding at that time.
6. During the 4th Quarter of 2000, the Company's Board of Directors voted to
re-purchase 2,973,160 common shares from the Company's President and CEO,
John Daglis, in satisfaction of debt owed by Mr. Daglis to the Company in
the amount of $598,356, or $.20 per share. As a result of said transaction,
the Company currently has 13,713,509 shares issued and outstanding.
Conflicts of Interest
Other than as described herein the Company is not expected to have significant
dealings with affiliates. If there are such dealings, the parties will attempt
to deal on terms competitive in the market and on the same terms that either
party would deal with a third person.
However, conflicts of interest are inherent in such dealings, and there is no
assurance that such transactions will be favorable to the Company, due to the
lack of arms length bargaining. Presently none of the officers and directors
have any transactions which they contemplate entering into with the Company,
aside from the matters described herein.
Management will attempt to resolve any conflicts of interest that may arise in
favor of the Company. Failure to do so could result in fiduciary liability to
management
The Company's By-laws indemnify its Officers and Directors against all costs and
expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him or her in connection with the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which he or she may be involved or
to which he or she may be made a party reason of his or her being or having been
such director or officer, except in relation to matters as to which he or she
shall be finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty.

for the Company's common stock. At October 20, 2000, the Company's common stock
was not quoted on any recognized exchange, although Management intends on
trading its shares on the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board some time in the near
future.
As of October 20, 2000 there the Company had 13,713,509 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding, held by approximately 543 shareholders of record.
Of the Company's 13,713,509 shares of Common Stock, the 9,426,840 shares issued
to Edumedia, Inc. shareholders in the stock-for-stock exchange transaction are
deemed "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the 1933
Securities Act ("Rule 144"), and may not be resold without registration under
the Securities Act. Provided certain requirements are met, these shares may be
resold pursuant to Rule 144 or may only be resold pursuant to another exemption
from the registration requirement.
The original Icon shareholders were issued 8,573,337 (4,286,669 post split)
shares under Rule 504 of Regulation D on or around October 1996 for a total of
$8,573.34, pursuant to a recapitalization according to the express provisions of
Rule 144(d)(3)(viii) and Release Number 6862 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, whereby the holder's holding period for shares received in this
distribution will include the holding period commenced more than two years prior
to the date of the acquisition of the shares.
As such, any such shares which are held by a "non-affiliated person" of the
Company are not subject to any resale restrictions imposed by the 1933
Securities Act, so long as the seller has been a "non-affiliated person" of the
issuer for three months prior to the date of the sale, and that furthermore any
shares held by a "non-affiliated person" are not subject to the volume
limitations imposed by the 1933 Securities Act upon the resale thereof. In
addition, if any of these shares of Icon stock are held by non-affiliates for at
least one year since same were acquired from Icon or an affiliate, said shares
will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k), provided such sale is not
prohibited by any of the other provisions of Rule 144.
Generally, Rule 144 provides that a holder of restricted shares of an issuer
which maintains certain available public information, where such shares are held
for two years or more, may sell in "brokers' transactions" every three months
the greater of: (a) an amount equal to one percent of the Company's outstanding
shares; or (b) an amount equal to the average weekly volume of trading in such
securities during the preceding four calendar weeks prior to the sale. A Form
144 must also be filed with SEC notifying that agency of the shares being sold
pursuant to Rule 144. Persons who are not affiliates of the Company may sell
shares beneficially owned for at least two years at the time of the proposed
sale without regard to volume or manner of sale restrictions. Lastly, there is
no existing public or other market for the Shares, and there is no assurance
that any such market will develop in the foreseeable future.
Dividend Policy
The Company does not currently intend to declare or pay any dividends on its
Common Stock for at least nine (9) months, except to the extent that such
payment is consistent with the Company's overall financial condition and plans
for growth. As the Company obtains the projected profits, substantial dividends
24
<PAGE>
may be delivered to the shareholders of record. Any future determination to
declare and pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors and will be dependent on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations, cash requirements, plans for expansion, legal limitations,
contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of
Directors.
Transfer Agent
As of October 1, 2000, the transfer agent for the Company's common stock is
Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 East Murray Holladay Road, Suite 100,
Salt Lake City, UT 84117, Attention Mr. Kurt Hughes.

alleged failure to take reasonable measures to restore property (US$49,000.00)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Icon Acquisition
Corp. (a New York Corporation) as of October 4, 1996, and the related statement
of stockholders' equity for the period November 28, 1994 (date of inception) to
October 4, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the

financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet and statement of
stockholders' equity are free of material misstatement. 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 presentation of the balance sheet and statement of
stockholders' equity. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the balance sheet and statement of stockholders' equity
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Icon
Acquisition Corp. as of October 4, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Income Taxes and Retained Earnings: The Company has elected to file as an "S"

made in the accompanying financial statements,
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge
of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may
ultimately differ from actual results.
NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

They historically have not experienced any credit related losses. The Company
provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located primarily
in the northeastern portion of the U.S. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts
