NEXT GENERATION MEDIA CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General

        The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Next Generation Media Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. The preparation of the financial statements includes estimates that are used when accounting for revenues, allowance for uncollectible receivables, telecommunications expense, depreciation and amortization and certain accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements or notes thereto prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that its disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. You should read these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB40.

        Intangibles. The Company has recorded goodwill based on the difference between the cost and the fair value of certain purchased assets and it is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, which ranges from five (5) to ten (10) years. The Company periodically evaluates the goodwill for possible impairment. The analysis consists of a comparison of future projected cash flows to the carrying value of the goodwill. Any excess goodwill would be written off due to impairment. In addition, the Company has a covenant not to complete which is being amortized over five (5) years.
 
        Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment on a periodic basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets should be addressed. The Company believes that no permanent impairment in the carrying value of long-lived assets exist at March 31, 2000.
 
        Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue from the design production and printing of coupons upon delivery. Revenue from initial franchise fees are recognized when substantially all services or conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed. Franchise support and other fees are recognized when billed to the franchisee. Amounts billed or collected in advance of final delivery or shipment are reported as deferred revenue. Revenue from newspaper advertising is recognized upon publication.

        Comprehensive Income. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes to equity except that resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The company has no item of comprehensive income to report.
 
        Earnings Per Share. The Company calculates its loss per share pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (ASFAS No. 128”). Under SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common stockholders by weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. As a result of the Company’s net losses, all potentially dilutive securities including warrants and stock options, would be anti-dilutive and thus, excluded from diluted earnings per share.
 
        As of March 31, 2000, the Company had several financial instruments or obligations that could create future dilution to the Company’s common shareholders and are not currently classified as outstanding common shares of the Company. The following table details such instruments and obligations and the common stock comparative for each. The common stock number is based on specific conversion or issuance assumptions pursuant to the corresponding terms of each individual instrument or obligation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. 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
                     
Risks and Uncertainties. The Company operates in environments where intense competition exists from other companies. This competition, along with increases in the price of paper and printing costs, can impact the Company’s pricing and profitability

        New Accounting Pronouncements. In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard requires that all companies record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. Management is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 133 on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company will adopt this accounting standard, as amended, on January 1, 2001, as required.
 
        In December, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (ASEC@) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (ASAB 101”), which provides guidance related to revenue recognition based on interpretations and practices followed by the SEC. SAB 101 is effective in the quarter ended December 31, 2000, and requires companies to report any changes in revenue recognition as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle at the time of implementation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SAB 101 on its financial position and results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

      Total revenue increased 416%, to $2,310,306 in the first quarter of 2000 from $448,123 in the first quarter of 1999. This increase was due mainly to the acquisition of United Marketing Solutions, Inc. (“United”) by the issuer in April of 1999. Total revenue decreased 3.9% to $2,310,306 for the period ended March 31, 2000 from $2,404,764 on a pro forma basis from the same period in 1999.

      Total operating expenses increased 427% to $2,528,293 in 2000 from $479,234 in the first quarter of 1999. Printing costs, postage, and delivery, other production costs, selling expenses, and depreciation and amortization, which aggregate to$2,012,484 increased 527%, from $320,588 in the comparable 1999 period. General and Administrative expenses increased 225% to $515,809 from $158,646 in the first quarter of 1999. These increases are comparable to the increase in revenue and are a result of the acquisition of United. Total operating expenses decreased 1.5%, to $2,528,293 for the period ended March 31, 2000 from $2,566,232 on a pro forma basis for the same period in 1999.

      Interest expense decreased to $13,680 in the first quarter of 2000 from $55,847 in the comparable 1999 period due to repayment of outstanding note payables from 1998.

      Cash used by operating activities was $313,592 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $82,590 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This was primarily due to the net loss of $231,667, and an increase in inventories offset by non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization.

      Cash used in investing activities was $493,455 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $320 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to expense related to the acquisition of property and equipment and intangibles.

      Cash provided by financing activities was $863,125 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to cash provided in financing activities of $82,583 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the proceeds received

 


from the issuance of common stock, repayments of notes payable and the use of common stock in the purchase of assets.

      The Company had a net loss per share, on a basic and diluted basis, during the first quarter of 1999 of $.07. During the period covered by this report, the Company had a net loss per share of $.05 on both a basic and diluted basis.
