NEXT GENERATION MEDIA CORPORATION
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS The Company operates a newspaper publishing business
DESCRIPTION distributing free newspapers, supported by local advertising
throughout New Jersey. The Company also is engaged in the
cooperative direct mail marketing business.
BASIS OF The consolidated financial statements include the statements
PRESENTATION of Next Generation Media Corporation (the "Company") and its
wholly owned subsidiaries Independent News, Inc. ("INI") and
United Marketing Solutions, Inc. (United). All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
INTERIM FINANCIAL In the opinion of management, the interim financial
INFORMATION information as of September 30, 1999 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 contains all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for such periods.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for an entire year.
LOSS PER COMMON Loss per share has been computed using the weighted average
SHARE number of shares outstanding. The outstanding stock options
were not considered in the computation because their
inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
IN THE PREPARATION enerally accepted accounting principles requires management
OF FINANCIAL to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
STATEMENTS 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.
RISKS AND The local newspaper publishing industry and direct mailing
UNCERTAINTIES industry are highly competitive. Revenue generally
fluctuates based on local economic conditions. In recent
years the local publishing industry has experienced
consolidation of smaller newspaper businesses into larger,
better capitalized companies. These larger newspaper
publishing companies attempt to increase market share by
reducing advertising rates which, if successful, would have
an adverse impact on the Company.
RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.

1. ACQUISITION OF On April 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the
UNITED MARKETING outstanding common stock of United for $336,665 in cash and
SOLUTIONS, INC. the assumption of debt totaling $912,702. United is engaged
in the cooperative direct mail marketing business. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Net assets were
recorded at fair value and the Company recorded goodwill of
$1,071,241 related to the acquisition. The financial
statements include the operations of United subsequent to
the acquisition date.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the
consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition had

2. RESTATEMENT As a result of the audit of the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1998, the Company made several
adjustments to amounts initially recorded during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. Firstly, during the second
quarter of 1998, the Company did not record compensation
expense relating to the issuance of stock and stock options
as it believed that the exercise price was equivalent to the
fair value at the issuance date. During December 1998, the
Company issued common stock to various individual investors
at $2 per share. Based on this issuance, the company
retroactively determined that the market value of the stock
options was $2 and recorded compensation expense of
$1,399,220. Secondly, during the second quarter of 1998, the
Company initially recorded an extraordinary loss of
$1,034,000 in relation to the write-off of a receivable from
Unico, the parent company of United. Subsequent to that
date, it was determined that the amount should be considered
a deferred acquisition cost. Finally, accrued dividends and
deemed dividends relating to preferred stock were not
originally reported.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Total revenues increased 448%, to $2,250,426 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 from $410,506 during the third quarter of 1998. These
increases were due to the addition of revenues from and the acquisition of
United Marketing Solutions, Inc. ("United") by the issuer, and a general
increase in business activity at Independent News, Inc. ("INI").
Total operating expenses increased 355%, to $2,639,796 in the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 from $579,819 during the third quarter of 1998.
Printing costs, postage and delivery, other production costs, selling expenses,
and depreciation and amortization, which aggregate to $1,884,460, increased
442%, from $347,124 in the comparable 1998 period. General and administrative
expenses increased 213%, to $728,383 from $232,695 in the quarter ended
September 30 of 1998. These increases are comparable to the increase in revenue
and were primarily caused by the acquisition of United.
Interest expense decreased to $71,041 in the quarter ended September 30,
1999 from $89,908 in the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
Total revenues increased 307%, to $5,608,464 in the nine month period
ended September 30, 1999 from $1,377,083 in the same period of 1998. These
increases were primarily due to the acquisition of United by the issuer. Total
revenue decreased 3.5%, to $7,565,105 for the period ended September 30, 1999
from $7,843,012 on a pro forma basis for the same period in 1998.
Total operating expenses increased 75% to $6,290,171 in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999 from $3,589,921 in the same period of 1998.
Printing costs, postage and delivery, other production costs, selling expenses,
and depreciation and amortization, which aggregate to $4,546,177, increased
361%, from $984,133 in the comparable 1998 period. General and administrative
expenses increased 75%, to $1,533,291 from $876,572 in the period ended
September 30 of 1998. These increases are comparable to the increase in revenue
and are a result of the acquisition of United, offset by a reduction in
compensation expense relating to the issuance of stock options. Total expenses
decreased 13%, to $8,528,459 for the period ended
<PAGE> 11
September 30,1999 from $9,820,248 on a pro forma basis for the same period in
1998. This decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease in compensation
expense related to the issuance of stock options and forgiveness of stock
subscription receivables.
Interest expense increased to $190,579 in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999 from $93,822 in the comparable 1998 period. This increase is
due to borrowings incurred during calendar year 1998.
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are proceeds from the
issuance of common stock. In the third quarter of 1999, the Company realized
proceeds of $123,881, after deductions of cash and non-cash issuance expenses,
on the sale of 58,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $2.50.
Cash used by operating activities was $330,447 for the period ended
September 30, 1999 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $8,902
for the period ended September 30, 1998. This change was primarily due to the
net loss of $871,592, the expense related to stock issued for services, and an
increase in accounts receivable, offset by a reduction in compensation expense
relating to the issuance of stock and stock options, depreciation and
amortization, and non-cash charges relating to amortization of deferred loan
costs and discounts on notes payable.
Cash used in investing activities was $222,307 for the period ended
September 30, 1999, compared to $99,110 for the period ended September 30, 1998,
as the Company used $178,159 in cash to acquire United, and acquired property
and equipment of $44,148.
Cash provided by financing activities was $624,558 for the period ended
September 30, 1999, compared to $90,224 for the period ended September 30, 1998.
This increase was primarily due to the proceeds received from the issuance of
common stock offset by payment of long-term debt.
The Company had a net loss per share, on a basic and diluted basis,
through the third fiscal quarter of 1998 of $0.79. During the period covered by
this report, the Company had a net loss per share of $0.31 on both a basic and
diluted basis.
The Company has no unused capital resources.
