PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
MEDIAX CORPORATION
MediaX Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("MediaX"), operates primarily in
e-commerce, multimedia services and product development. MediaX has obtained
rights to intellectual properties, and produces and publishes multimedia
software and content mainly for the Internet and for Satellite broadcasting
channels. As a principal part of its business, MediaX designs and hosts
high-value celebrity web sites such as rodstewartlive.com and NSYNC.com and
others. In February 1999, MediaX initiated amuZnet.com, an e-commerce site
offering more than 300,000 entertainment titles on CDS, DVDs and videos by major
record labels and studios and over 4,000 independent music labels for purchase
on-line. MediaX purposely directs the high-traffic generated by the celebrity
web sites through amuZnet.com with a simple link. This site is constantly
updated and developed into a "destination site" serving increasing revenue
streams through its e-commerce and third party advertising model.
In the future, MediaX plans to provide the same services on an interactive
satellite channel, which will be launched in late 2000. Contracts are signed
with EchoStar, one of the largest satellite providers, to implement this model
for interactive satellite distribution.
MediaX is located at 3455 La Cienega Boulevard, Building C, Los Angeles,
California 90016 and its telephone number is (310) 815-8002.
THE OFFERING
This prospectus covers 2,926,584 shares of MediaX common stock to be sold by the
selling stockholders identified in this prospectus.
MediaX and Villabeach Investments Ltd. ("Villabeach") signed a private equity
line of credit agreement ("credit agreement") dated April 26, 2000, for the
future issuance and purchase of MediaX common stock. The investor, Villabeach,
has committed up to $6 million to purchase MediaX common stock over a period of
36 months.
In general, the credit agreement works as follows. Once every 15 trading days,
MediaX may request, at its discretion, up to $500,000 under the credit agreement
(a "drawdown"). The drawdown amount is subject to an upward adjustment based on
a formula of the common stock price over a particular trading period and average
trading volume. For example, if MediaX common stock trades between $1.50 and
$3.50 per share and the average 30-day trading volume exceeds 50,001 shares, but
is less than 75,000 shares, MediaX may request up to a $750,000 drawdown from
Villabeach under the Credit Agreement.
The formulas for determining the drawdown amounts, the number of shares MediaX
will issue to Villabeach and the price per share paid by Villabeach are
described in detail beginning on page 12 of this prospectus. Under the basic
formula, Villabeach will receive a fourteen percent (14%) discount to the market
price and MediaX will receive the purchase price less a 3.3% cash finder's fee
to Triton West Group Inc. and an escrow agent fee of $1,000 per drawdown. MediaX
agreed to file a registration statement covering 2,500,000 shares of its common
stock in connection with the Credit Agreement. These 2,500,000 shares of common
stock are included in this prospectus.
In connection with the credit agreement, MediaX issued to Villabeach a warrant
to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.914. The
common stock issuable to Villabeach upon exercise of the warrant is included in
this prospectus.
MediaX and AMRO International, S.A. ("AMRO") signed a Common Stock Purchase
Agreement ("purchase agreement") dated April 25, 2000. MediaX issued 326,584
shares of its common stock to AMRO and received $500,000 or $1.53 per share less
a 5% cash finder's fee to Triton West Group Inc. and an escrow agent fee of
$5,000. MediaX agreed in a registration rights agreement to use its best efforts
to file and cause a registration statement covering the public offering and
resale of the shares to become effective within 90 days. All of the shares
received by AMRO under the purchase agreement are included in this registration
statement. Under the purchase agreement, MediaX agreed to issue additional
shares to AMRO if the market price of MediaX common stock is below $1.53 per
share on the effective date of this registration statement. Based upon the
recent market price of MediaX common stock, $1.00 per share, MediaX would be
required to issue an additional 254,811 shares of its common stock to AMRO under
the terms of the purchase agreement. None of the additional shares that MediaX
may be required to issue to AMRO under the purchase agreement are included in
this registration statement. MediaX will need to file a resale registration
statement covering the additional shares, if and when MediaX issues them to
AMRO. Additional material terms of the purchase agreement are described in
detail beginning on page 14 of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
Before purchasing the shares offered by this prospectus, you should carefully
consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information
presented in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
If any of the following risks actually occur, they could adversely effect
MediaX's business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case,
the trading price of MediaX's common stock could decline and you may lose all or
part of your investment.
MEDIAX HAS A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, HAS EXPERIENCED LOSSES, AND EXPECTS
FUTURE LOSSES WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE PROFITS.
MediaX was formed in 1996, and began selling software products in 1997 and music
related products through e-commerce in February 1999. Accordingly, MediaX has
only a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of its business
and prospects. MediaX's prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early
stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets
such as e-commerce. Such risks include, but are not limited to, possible
inability to respond promptly to changes in a rapidly evolving and unpredictable
business environment and the risk of inability to manage growth. To address
these risks, MediaX must, among other things, expand its customer base,
successfully implement its new business and marketing strategies, continue to
develop and upgrade its Web site and transaction-processing systems, provide
superior customer service, respond to competitive developments, and attract and
retain qualified personnel. If MediaX is not successful in addressing such
risks, it will be materially adversely affected.
SINCE INCEPTION, MEDIAX HAS INCURRED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1999 HAD ACCUMULATED LOSSES OF $13 MILLION.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, MediaX's net loss was $7,244,707. MediaX
intends to invest heavily in marketing and promotion, technology, and
development of its administrative organization. As a result, MediaX believes
that it may incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future, and
that the rate at which such losses may be incurred may increase significantly
from current levels. Because MediaX has few sales and small product gross
margins, achieving profitability given planned investment levels depends upon
MediaX's ability to generate and sustain substantially increased revenue levels.
There can be no assurance that MediaX will be able to generate sufficient
revenues to achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
MEDIAX MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE WHICH MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE.
At December 31, 1999, MediaX had a positive working capital of $1,087,082 as
compared to negative working capital of $1,773,728
4
<PAGE> 7
at December 31, 1998. MediaX's success and ongoing financial viability is
contingent upon the success of its new business model, and the generation of
related cash flows. There is no assurance that such contingencies will be met in
the future to meet the capital needs of MediaX. Should there be any significant
delays in the release of new products, or lack of acceptance in the marketplace
for such products if released, or if MediaX's working capital needs otherwise
exceed its resources, the adverse consequences would be severe. The generation
of MediaX's current growth and the expansion of the MediaX's current business
involve significant financial risk and require significant capital investment.
Further, MediaX anticipates that its available cash resources combined with the
maximum stock purchase amount in its agreements with Villabeach and AMRO will be
sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for the next twelve months. However, a decline in the trading
volume or price of its common stock may reduce the purchase price of MediaX
common stock, as set forth under the agreements, and therefore, money available
to MediaX.
MEDIAX MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS A GOING CONCERN.
MediaX has experienced recurring net losses and has limited liquid resources.
Management's intent is to increase MediaX's sales and to continue searching for
additional sources of capital. In the interim, MediaX will continue operating
with minimal overhead and administrative functions will be provided by key
employees and consultants, some of whom are compensated primarily in the form of
MediaX's common stock. MediaX may need to utilize its common stock to fund some
of its operations through fiscal 2000. The financial statements included herein
have been presented under the assumption that MediaX will continue as a going
concern.
MEDIAX'S OPERATIONS ARE DEPENDENT ON CONTINUED GROWTH OF ONLINE COMMERCE.
MediaX's long-term viability is substantially dependent upon the widespread
consumer acceptance and use of the Internet as a medium of commerce. Use of the
Internet as a means of effecting retail transactions and as an advertising media
is at an early stage of development, and demand and market acceptance for
recently introduced services and products over the Internet is very uncertain.
MediaX cannot predict the extent to which consumers will be willing to shift
their purchasing habits from traditional retailers to online retailers. The
Internet may not become a viable commercial marketplace. In addition, the
Internet's viability as a commercial marketplace could be adversely affected by
delays in the development of services or due to increased government regulation.
Changes in or insufficient availability of telecommunications services to
support the Internet also could result in slower response times and could
adversely affect usage of the Internet generally and MediaX in particular.
Moreover, adverse publicity and consumer concern about the security of
transactions conducted on the Internet and the privacy of users may also inhibit
the growth of commerce on the Internet. If the use of the Internet does not
continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, or if the infrastructure
for the Internet does not effectively support growth that may occur, MediaX
would be materially adversely affected.
THE MULTI-MEDIA AND INTERNET MARKETS ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND MEDIAX MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AGAINST INCREASED COMPETITION IN THIS AREA.
MediaX is a minor participant among companies which engage in multimedia and
Internet content development. Many of these companies have significantly greater
capitalization and experience in this industry. The online commerce market is
new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive, and MediaX expects that
competition will further intensify in the future. Barriers to entry are minimal,
and current and new competitors can launch new sites at a relatively low cost.
In addition, the broader retail music industry is intensely competitive. MediaX
currently competes with a variety of companies, including other established
online vendors and traditional retailers of entertainment, music and multimedia
products. Many of these traditional retailers also support dedicated Web sites
which compete directly with MediaX.
There can be no assurance that MediaX will be able to compete successfully
against current and future competitors. New technologies and the expansion of
existing technologies may increase the competitive pressures of MediaX.
MEDIAX IS SUBSTANTIALLY DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HIRE
AND RETAIN SUFFICIENT TECHNICAL AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL THAT IT REQUIRES TO
SUCCEED.
MediaX's success is substantially dependent on the ability and experience of its
senior management and other key personnel, particularly Nancy Poertner,
President, and Rainer Poertner, Chairman of the Board. Moreover, to accommodate
its anticipated growth, MediaX may need to expand its employee base. Competition
for personnel, particularly persons having software development and other
technical expertise, is intense, and there can be no assurance that MediaX will
retain existing personnel or hire additional, qualified personnel. The inability
of MediaX to retain and attract the necessary personnel or the loss of services
of any of its key
5
<PAGE> 8
personnel could have a material adverse effect on MediaX.
MEDIAX INCREASINGLY RELIES ON STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AND ONLINE AND TRADITIONAL
ADVERTISING TO ATTRACT USERS TO ITS WEB SITE, AND THEREFORE, MAINTAIN
PROFITABILITY.
MediaX has entered into strategic alliances with AOL, and Yahoo!, Microsoft and
RealNetworks. MediaX's ability to generate increased revenues largely will
depend on increased traffic, advertising and purchases through these alliances.
There can be no assurance that MediaX's strategic alliances will generate a
substantial number of new customers or net sales or that MediaX's infrastructure
will be sufficient to handle the increased traffic and advertising that may
result therefrom. Moreover, there can also be no assurance that MediaX will be
able to successfully renew advertising programs or maintain its strategic
alliances beyond their initial terms or that additional third-party alliances
will be available to MediaX on acceptable commercial terms or at all. MediaX
expects to promote its brand name through a campaign that includes online and
radio advertising. The inability to maintain and further develop its advertising
campaign or strategic alliances could have a material adverse effect on MediaX.
SYSTEM FAILURES MAY DELAY OR SUSPEND MEDIAX'S OPERATIONS.
MediaX's business is dependent on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of
its computer and communications hardware systems. MediaX's systems and
operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power
loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins, earthquake and similar events. Any
system interruptions, including any interruptions in MediaX's Internet
connections or internal systems problems, that result in the unavailability of
MediaX's Web site or reduced transaction processing performance would reduce the
attractiveness of MediaX's product offerings and could, therefore, materially
adversely affect MediaX. Substantially all of MediaX's computer and
communications hardware is located at two leased facilities in Santa Cruz, CA.
MEDIAX'S ONLINE COMMERCE BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO SECURITY RISKS.
A significant barrier to online commerce is concern regarding the security of
transmission of confidential information. MediaX relies on outside third parties
to facilitate the secure transmission of confidential information, such as
customer credit card numbers. Nevertheless, MediaX's infrastructure is
potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic computer break-ins, viruses and
similar disruptive problems. A party who is able to circumvent MediaX's security
measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in
MediaX's operations. To the extent that activities of MediaX or third-party
contractors involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information,
such as credit card numbers, such security breaches could expose MediaX to a
risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. Therefore, MediaX may be
required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against
such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. There
can be no assurance that MediaX's security measures will prevent security
breaches or that failure to prevent such security breaches will not have a
material adverse effect on MediaX.
MEDIAX'S COMMON STOCK PRICE IS HIGHLY VOLATILE AND MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
MARKET PRICE OF SUCH STOCK.
The market price of the common stock has been, and is likely to remain, highly
volatile as is frequently the case with unseasoned public companies and Internet
companies in particular. Quarterly operating losses of MediaX, deviations in
losses of operations from estimates of securities analysts, changes in general
conditions in the economy, in Internet commerce and in the music retailing
industry, or other developments affecting MediaX or its competitors could cause
the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. The equity
markets have, on occasion, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations
that have affected the market prices for many companies' securities and that
have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Any
such fluctuations that occur following completion of this offering may adversely
affect the market price of the common stock.
MEDIAX IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES WHICH MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS OPERATIONS.
MediaX is subject, both directly and indirectly, to various laws and regulations
relating to its business, although there are few laws or regulations directly
applicable to access to the Internet. However, due to the increasing popularity
and use of the Internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations
may be adopted with respect to the Internet. Such laws and regulations may cover
issues such as user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution and
characteristics and quality of products and services. Furthermore, the growth
and development of the market for online commerce may prompt calls for more
stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those
companies conducting business online. The enactment of any additional laws or
regulations may impede the growth of the Internet which could, in turn, decrease
the demand for MediaX's products and services and increase
6
<PAGE> 9
MediaX's cost of doing business, or otherwise have an adverse effect on MediaX.
The applicability to the Internet of existing laws in various jurisdictions is
uncertain and could expose MediaX to substantial liability. The laws of certain
foreign countries provide the owner of copyrighted products with the exclusive
right to expose, through sound and video samples, copyrighted items for sale to
the public and the right to distribute such products. Any new legislation or
regulation, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet
could have a material adverse effect on MediaX.
MediaX believes that its use of third party material on its Web sites is
permitted under current provisions of copyright law. However, legal rights to
certain aspects of Internet content and commerce are not clearly settled and
MediaX's ability to rely upon one or more exemptions or defenses under copyright
law is uncertain. There can be no assurance that MediaX will be able to continue
to provide rights to such information. The failure to be able to offer such
information could have a material adverse effect on MediaX.
In addition, several telecommunications carriers are seeking to have
telecommunications over the Internet regulated by the Federal Communications
Commission (the "FCC") in the same manner as other telecommunications services.
For example, America's Carriers Telecommunications Association has filed a
petition with the FCC for this purpose. In addition, because the growing
popularity and use of the Internet has burdened the existing telecommunications
infrastructure and many areas with high Internet use have begun to experience
interruptions in phone service, local telephone carriers, such as Pacific Bell,
have petitioned the FCC to regulate Internet service providers and online
service providers in a manner similar to long distance telephone carriers and to
impose access fees on such providers. If either of these petitions are granted,
or the relief sought therein is otherwise granted, the costs of communicating on
the Internet could increase substantially, potentially slowing the growth in use
of the Internet. Any such new legislation or regulation or application or
interpretation of existing laws could have a material adverse effect on MediaX's
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Further, in April 2000, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, 16
CFR Part 312 ("COPPA"), became effective. COPPA, which applies to commercial web
sites and online services directed to or that knowingly collect information from
children under 13, imposes liability for web sites who do not follow substantial
safeguards and formalities in the collection of information. Although MediaX
believes that COPPA does not directly apply to it and that the cost of
compliance is minimal, any changes in the existing regulation or in MediaX's
websites could result in substantial compliance costs and/or liability for
MediaX.
MEDIAX MAY FACE POSSIBLE LIABILITY FOR PUBLISHING OR DISTRIBUTING CONTENT OVER
THE INTERNET.
Due to the fact that MediaX may be considered a publisher or distributor of both
its own and third party content, there is a potential that claims will be made
against MediaX for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement,
invasion of privacy and publicity, unfair competition or other theories based on
the nature and content of such material. Such claims have been brought, and
sometimes successfully pressed, against online services in the past. For
example, claims could be made against MediaX if material deemed inappropriate
for viewing by young children could be accessed through MediaX Web sites.
Although MediaX carries general liability insurance, MediaX's insurance may not
cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to cover all costs
incurred in defense of potential claims or to indemnify MediaX for all liability
that may be imposed. Any cost or imposition of liability that is not covered by
insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse
effect on MediaX.
MEDIAX RELIES PRIMARILY ON ONE PROVIDER FOR ORDER FULFILLMENT OF RECORDED MUSIC
TITLES AND OTHER RELATED PRODUCTS, LOSS OF WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
OPERATIONS.
MediaX has no fulfillment operation or facility of its own and, accordingly, is
dependent upon maintaining its existing relationship or establishing a new
fulfillment relationship with one of the few other fulfillment operations. There
can be no assurance that MediaX will maintain its current relationship with its
primary fulfillment vendor beyond the term of its existing agreement which
expires on December 18, 2001 or that it will be able to find an alternative,
comparable vendor capable of providing fulfillment services on terms
satisfactory to MediaX should its relationship with its current fulfillment
vendor terminate. An unanticipated termination of MediaX's relationship with its
current fulfillment vendor could materially adversely affect MediaX's results of
operations.
MEDIAX'S COMMON STOCK IS TRADED ON A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET, WHICH MAY IMPACT
STOCKHOLDERS' ABILITY TO LIQUIDATE THEIR INVESTMENTS.
MediaX's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board which tends to
be comprised of small businesses of regional interest with limited trading
activity. Although MediaX intends to submit an application to list the common
stock on Nasdaq's National Market System or Small Cap System as soon as it meets
the listing qualifications, there can be no assurance that MediaX's
7
<PAGE> 10
securities will qualify for listing on Nasdaq's National Market System or Small
Cap System or on any other exchange.
THERE MAY BE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTIVE EFFECTS FROM THE EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
AGREEMENT WITH VILLABEACH AND THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH AMRO.
The sale of stock pursuant to the equity line of credit agreement with
Villabeach and the repricing mechanism in the purchase agreement with AMRO may
have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income per
share could be materially decreased, or net loss per share materially increased,
in future periods and the market price of our common stock could be materially
and adversely affected. The shares of common stock to be issued under the equity
line of credit agreement, will be issued at a discount to the then-prevailing
market price of the common stock. Similarly, under the repricing mechanism in
the purchase agreement with AMRO, if our common stock trades at less than $1.53
on the effective date of this registration statement, we may need to issue
additional shares to AMRO. The discounted sales to Villabeach and the repricing
mechanism under the purchase agreement with AMRO could have an immediate adverse
effect on the market price of the common stock.
Further, investors should be aware that:
a) the lower the average trading price of our common stock at the time of
offering of the securities pursuant to the credit agreement with Villabeach and
at the time of the repricing event under the purchase agreement with AMRO, the
greater the number of securities that will be issued by us and the greater the
dilution that will be incurred by existing shareholders;
b) the perceived risk of dilution may cause selling shareholders, as well as
other holders, to sell their shares, which would contribute to downward movement
in the stock price for our shares;
c) significant downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock could
result from arrangements with Villabeach and AMRO, since they could provide an
incentive for investors to engage in short sales which might further contribute
to progressive price declines in our common stock.
d) the dilution to current shareholders resulting from the terms of the
transactions with Villabeach and AMRO described in this prospectus could be as
great as 20%, assuming a "worst-case scenario" such as a 75% decline in the
market price of our common stock from recent levels. See also the section titled
"Dilution" on page 11 of this prospectus.
MEDIAX HAS NEVER DECLARED OR PAID ANY DIVIDENDS ON THE COMMON STOCK AND DOES NOT
ANTICIPATE PAYING ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON THE COMMON STOCK IN THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE.

<PAGE> 11
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, MediaX's
dependence on the timely development, introduction and customer acceptance of
products, the impact of competition and downward pricing pressures, the ability
of MediaX to generate revenues and raise any needed capital, the effect of
changing economic conditions, and risks in technology development.
USE OF PROCEEDS

Villabeach that were obtained under the Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement.
MediaX will not receive any of the proceeds for the sale of the shares by AMRO
under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. However, MediaX will receive the sale
price of common stock sold under such agreements described in this prospectus
and upon the exercise of the warrants held by Villabeach if it pays the exercise
price in cash. MediaX expects to use the proceeds of any such sales for general
working capital purposes.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Not applicable.
DILUTION
The issuance of further shares to AMRO under the repricing mechanism in the
purchase agreement, the issuance of further shares to Villabeach under the
credit agreement, and the eligibility of issued shares for resale will dilute
our common stock and may lower the price of our common stock. If you invest in
our common stock, your interest will be diluted by the issuance of additional
shares to Villabeach or AMRO.
At June 30, 2000, the net tangible book value per share of our common stock was
($0.09) per share. As a comparison, investors in this offering will most likely
pay significantly more than our net tangible book value per share. Accordingly,
investors will suffer substantial and immediate dilution. For example, assuming
that
- on June 30, 2000 we issued a total of 8,024,691 shares to Villabeach and
AMRO for $6,500,000 under the equity line of credit and purchase agreement
at $.81 per share, which is 86% of the closing price of our common stock on
June 30, 2000 and reflects Villabeach's and AMRO's 14% discount; and
- on June 30, 2000 you purchased shares under this prospectus for $.94 per
share, which is the closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2000;
our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2000 would have been
$5,860,653, or $.39 per share. This would represent an immediate increase in the
pro forma net tangible book value of $.30 per share to existing shareholders on
June 30, 2000 and would represent dilution to you of approximately $.55 per
share. The actual dilution to you may be greater or less than this example,
depending on the actual price you pay for the shares, the actual prices at which
we issue shares to Villabeach under the equity line of credit and how many
vested options and/or outstanding warrants have been exercised at the time of
your investment.
There are outstanding options or warrants to purchase in the aggregate 2.8
million shares of the Company's common stock at prices ranging from $.27 to
$22.00 per share and a $1,700,000 convertible debenture. Furthermore, we may
issue additional shares, stock options and warrants and we may grant additional
stock options to our employees, officers, directors and consultants under our
stock plan, any of which may further dilute our net tangible book value.
On August 21, 2000, our stock price was $.94 per share. Using June 30, 2000 as a
baseline, the following table provides a detailed sensitivity analysis of the
potential dilutive effects to an investor caused by various market price
declines of 25%, 50% and 75% and our agreements with Villabeach and AMRO.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
Villabeach Investments Ltd.
Villabeach Investments Ltd. ("Villabeach") is engaged in the business of
investing in publicly traded investment securities for its own account.
Villabeach is located at Aeulestrasse 74, FL-9490 Vaduz, Liechtenstein.
Investment decisions for Villabeach are made by its board of directors. Neil
Galloway has sole voting and investment power with respect to Villabeach's
securities, subject to the direction of the board of directors. Mr. Galloway's
address is 3 Boulevard du Jardin, Exotique, Monaco. Other than the warrants
MediaX issued to Villabeach in connection with the closing of the Private Equity
Line of Credit Agreement, Villabeach does not currently own any securities of
MediaX. Other than its obligation to purchase common stock of MediaX under the
Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement, it has no other commitments or
arrangements to purchase or sell any of MediaX's securities. There are no
business relationships between Villabeach and MediaX other than the Equity Line
of Credit Agreement. A discussion of the material terms of the agreements with
Villabeach is included below and copies of the complete agreements are attached
as exhibits to this registration statement.
MediaX and Villabeach signed a private equity line of credit agreement ("credit
agreement") dated April 26, 2000, for the future issuance and purchase of MediaX
common stock. The investor, Villabeach, has committed up to $6 million to
purchase MediaX common stock over a period of 36 months. In connection with the
credit agreement, the parties entered a escrow agreement and registration rights
agreement and MediaX issued a warrant to Villabeach.
The escrow agreement with Villabeach established a multiple part closing
mechanism. At the initial closing in April 2000, MediaX delivered the originals
of the material documents, including the warrant, and fees to Triton West Group,
Inc. and Villabeach's attorneys. For each drawdown under the credit agreement,
the escrow agreement coordinates the delivery of the investment funds by the
investor, Villabeach, delivery of stock certificates by MediaX, and the payment
of fees to Triton West Group, Inc. and Villabeach's attorneys. Triton West
Group, Inc. is a Cayman Island corporation that served as a finder between
MediaX and Villabeach. The activities of Triton West Group, Inc. in connection
with this transaction and others may make it a foreign broker or dealer. The
function discharged by Triton West Group, Inc. was to introduce the parties to
one another. Upon the request of MediaX, Triton West Group, Inc. provided to
MediaX the names of non-United States based institutional investment funds which
were known by Triton West to be active in purchasing future priced securities
transactions of other companies, including the names of AMRO and Villabeach.
Triton West Group, Inc. had a pre-existing relationship with the fund managers
of Villabeach and therefore, no solicitation occurred. There were no other
finders, placements agents or other intermediaries involved in the transaction.
Triton West Group, Inc. did not have any responsibilities in these transactions
save and except providing the introduction between MediaX and the investors.
Under the private equity line of credit agreement between MediaX and Villabeach,
Triton West Group, Inc. received a finder's fee of 5,000 shares of MediaX common
stock and will receive a finder's fee equal to: (i) as to each of the initial
six puts, if any, .3333% of the commitment amount (approximately $20,000) plus
three percent (3%) of the applicable drawdown request; and (ii) as to each
subsequent put thereafter, if any, three percent (3%) of the applicable drawdown
request.
In the registration rights agreement, MediaX agreed to file a registration
statement covering 2,500,000 shares of its common stock and to use its best
efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within 90 days.
Moreover, if the registration statement is not declared effective by September
30, 2000, the credit agreement shall terminate and MediaX must pay Villabeach
$25,000 as liquidated damages. MediaX agreed to maintain the effectiveness of
the registration statement until all of the securities to be acquired by
Villabeach under the credit agreement are free from any restriction on their
transfer. These 2,500,000 shares of common stock are included in this
prospectus.
In connection with the credit agreement, MediaX issued to Villabeach a warrant
to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.914. The
common stock issuable to Villabeach upon exercise of the warrant is included in
this prospectus.
In general, the credit agreement works as follows. Once every 15 trading days,
MediaX may request, at its discretion, up to $500,000 under the credit agreement
(a "drawdown"). The drawdown amount is subject to an upward adjustment based on
a formula of the common stock price over a particular trading period and average
trading volume. For example, if MediaX common stock trades between $1.50 and
$3.50 per share and the average 30-day trading volume exceeds 50,001 shares, but
less than 75,000 shares, MediaX may request up to a $750,000 drawdown from
Villabeach under the Credit Agreement.
10
<PAGE> 13
The formulas for determining the drawdown amounts, the number of shares MediaX
will issue to Villabeach and the price per share paid by Villabeach are
summarized in the tables below. Under the basic formula, Villabeach will receive
a fourteen percent (14%) discount to the market price and MediaX will receive
the purchase price less a 3.3% cash finder's fee to Triton West Group Inc. and
an escrow agent fee of $1,000 per drawdown.
MediaX can make a drawdown request of $500,000. If the stock bid price and
average 30 day trading volume are within the ranges in the table below, MediaX
can make a larger drawdown request and Villabeach is obligated to purchase such
greater dollar amount of MediaX common stock. For example, if MediaX common
stock trades at $10.00 per share and has an average 30 days trading volume of
over 100,001 shares, then MediaX can make a $2,000,000 drawdown request. Under
this example, Villabeach is obligated to purchase 232,558 shares at $8.60 per
share for gross proceeds to MediaX of $2,000,000.

Moreover, the credit agreement includes the following features which may have an
economic impact on MediaX and its shareholders.
Limitation on number or percentage of shares that may be acquired by Villabeach.
The credit agreement contains terms that restrict Villabeach's ownership of
MediaX common stock and warrants. This is so that MediaX cannot make a drawdown
to the extent that such a purchase would result in beneficial ownership by
Villabeach or its affiliates of more than 9.9% of the then outstanding common
stock. This limitation only restricts that amount of shares that Villabeach and
its affiliates may own at a specific time. Accordingly, the only limit on the
aggregate amount of stock that Villabeach could acquire at any one time would be
9.9% of the then outstanding common stock. However, over time through a series
of purchases and sales, Villabeach might purchase and resell shares representing
more than 9.9% of the then outstanding common stock. Because this prospectus
only covers 2,500,000 shares of common stock and our recent share price is near
$1.00 per share, MediaX will only be able to drawdown approximately $2,150,000
under the credit agreement. Moreover, the $2,150,000 drawdown would need to be
spaced over not less than 5 drawdown requests and at least 75 trading days. The
market price of our securities would need to decline to $.49 per share (with
Villabeach paying $.42 per share) before all the shares we are registering for
Villabeach (2,500,000 shares, excluding the shares underlying the $1.94
warrants) are used up by the $6,000,000 drawdown requests.
Additional shares and blackout period. The credit agreement contains terms that
require MediaX to issue additional shares to Villabeach in connection with a
drawdown request under narrow circumstances referred to as a blackout period.
The term blackout period is defined in the registration rights agreement. It
generally refers to situations where a statutory underwriter, such as
Villabeach, would be precluded from selling the shares covered by this
prospectus because there has been a material change in the business of the
issuer which is not disclosed in the current registration statement. Under the
narrow circumstances where a blackout period occurs within 5 trading days of a
drawdown request and the trading price of our common stock is greater on the
trading day prior to the blackout period than on the first trading day following
the blackout period, then MediaX is obligated to issue additional shares to
Villabeach. These terms do not change the dollar amount of the drawdown received
by MediaX, but do protect Villabeach under the circumstances set forth above.
11
<PAGE> 14
Threshold price and no short sales. The credit agreement provides that MediaX
controls the timing and the price at which it will sell its common stock to
Villabeach. In connection with any drawdown request, MediaX can indicate the
lowest market price at which it will sell its common stock to Villabeach. For
example, MediaX management may decide not to drawdown under the credit agreement
if its share price falls below management's target price. Moreover, during the
term of the credit agreement, Villabeach and its affiliates shall not engage in
short sales of MediaX's common stock. MediaX expects that Villabeach will place
orders to sell its common stock upon receipt of a drawdown request and that such
activity by Villabeach may exert downward pressure on the price of MediaX common
stock, but under applicable SEC and NASD rules this activity is not deemed to be
a "short sale".

AMRO International, S.A. ("AMRO") is engaged in the business of investing in
publicly traded investment securities for its own account. AMRO is located at
AMRO International, S.A., c/o Ultra Finanz AG, Grossmuensterplatz 6 AG, Zurich

business relationships between AMRO and MediaX other than the Common Stock
Purchase Agreement. A discussion of the material terms of the agreements with
AMRO is included below and copies of the complete agreements are attached as
exhibits to this registration statement.
MediaX and AMRO International, S.A. ("AMRO") signed a common stock purchase
agreement ("purchase agreement") dated April 25, 2000. MediaX issued 326,584
shares of it common stock to AMRO and received $500,000 or $1.53 per share less
a 5% cash finder's fee to Triton West Group Inc. and an escrow agent fee of
$5,000. In connection with the purchase agreement, the parties entered a escrow
agreement and registration rights agreement.
In the registration rights agreement, MediaX agreed to use its best efforts to
file and cause a registration statement covering the public offering and resale
of the shares to become effective within 90 days. All of the shares received by
AMRO under the purchase agreement are included in this registration statement.
Under the purchase agreement, MediaX agreed to issue additional shares to AMRO
if the market price of MediaX common stock is below $1.53 per share on the
effective date of this registration statement. Based upon the current market
price of MediaX common stock, $1.00 per share, MediaX would be required to issue
an additional 254,811 shares of its common stock to AMRO under the terms of the
purchase agreement. None of the additional shares that MediaX may be required
to issue to AMRO under the purchase agreement are included in this registration
statement. MediaX will need to file a resale registration statement covering the
additional shares, if and when MediaX issues them to AMRO.
The escrow agreement with AMRO established a mechanism under which AMRO
delivered $500,000 and executed originals of the material documents to the
escrow agent. Moreover, the escrow agreement allowed MediaX to deliver a share
certificate with a Rule 144 legend for 326,584 shares and executed originals of
the relevant documents. The escrow arrangements also allowed the attorney for
AMRO and Triton West Group, Inc. to collect their fees. Triton West Group, Inc.
is a Cayman Island corporation that served as a finder between MediaX and AMRO.
The activities of Triton West Group, Inc. in connection with this transaction
and others may make it a foreign broker or dealer. The function discharged by
Triton West Group, Inc. was to introduce the parties to one another. Upon the
request of MediaX, Triton West Group, Inc. provided to MediaX the names of
non-United States based institutional investment funds which were known by
Triton West to be active in purchasing future priced securities transactions of
other companies, including the names of AMRO and Villabeach. Triton West Group,
Inc. had a pre-existing relationship with the fund managers of AMRO and
therefore, no solicitation occurred. There were no other finders, placements
agents or other intermediaries involved in the transaction. Triton West Group,
Inc. did not have any responsibilities in these transactions save and except
providing the introduction between MediaX and the investors. Under the common
stock purchase agreement between MediaX and AMRO, Triton West Group, Inc.
received a finder's fee of $25,000.
The table below sets forth the information about the selling security holders,
including their name, address, any position, office, or other material
relationship which the selling security holder has had within the past three

* Under the purchase agreement, MediaX agreed to issue additional shares to
AMRO if the market price of MediaX common stock is below $1.53 per share on
the effective date of this registration statement. Based upon the current
market price of MediaX common stock, $1.00 per share, MediaX would be
required to issue an additional 254,811 shares of its common stock to AMRO
under the terms of the purchase agreement. However, only 326,584 shares are
presently owned by AMRO. 326,584 shares are covered by this prospectus.
None of the additional shares that MediaX may be required to issue to AMRO
under the purchase agreement are included in this registration statement.
MediaX will need to file a resale registration statement covering the
additional shares, if and when MediaX issues them to AMRO.
** MediaX and Villabeach signed a private equity line of credit agreement
("Credit Agreement") dated April 26, 2000, for the future issuance and
purchase of MediaX common stock. The investor, Villabeach, has committed up
to $6 million to purchase MediaX common stock over a period of 36 months.
MediaX agreed to file a registration statement covering 2,500,000 shares of
its common stock in connection with the credit agreement. These 2,500,000
shares of common stock are included in this prospectus. Although 2,500,000
shares would represent 26% of the issued and outstanding common stock of
MediaX, the credit agreement contains terms that restrict Villabeach's
ownership of MediaX common stock and warrants so that MediaX cannot make a
drawdown (a "Put") to the extent that such a purchase would result in
beneficial ownership by Villabeach or its affiliates of more than 9.9% of
the then outstanding common stock.

<PAGE> 16
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
General
Villabeach is offering the common shares for its account as statutory
underwriter, and not for our account. MediaX will not receive any proceeds from
the sale of common shares by Villabeach. Villabeach may be offering for sale up
to 2,500,000 common shares acquired by it pursuant to the terms of the credit
agreement and the warrants MediaX issued to it in connection with the
transaction. Villabeach has agreed to be named as a statutory underwriter within
the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales of
common shares and will be acting as an underwriter in its resales of the common
shares under this prospectus. Villabeach has, prior to any sales, agreed not to
effect any offers or sales of the common shares in any manner other than as
specified in the prospectus and not to purchase or induce others to purchase
common shares in violation of any applicable state and federal securities laws,
rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of the principal trading
market of MediaX.
To permit Villabeach to resell the common shares issued to it under the credit
agreement, MediaX agreed to register those shares and to maintain that
registration. To that end, MediaX agreed with Villabeach that MediaX will
prepare and file such amendments and supplements to the registration statement
and the prospectus as may be necessary in accordance with the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in order to keep it effective
until the earliest of any of the following dates:
- the date after which all of the common shares held by Villabeach or its
transferees that are covered by the registration statement have been
transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction
under the Securities Act of 1933 and MediaX has delivered new
certificates or other evidences of ownership of such common shares
without any restrictive legend;
- the date after which all of the common shares held by Villabeach or its
transferees that are covered by the registration statement have been
sold by Villabeach or its transferees pursuant to such registration
statement;
- the date after which none of the common shares held by Villabeach that
are covered by the registration statement are or may become issued and
outstanding.
Shares of common stock offered through this prospectus may be sold from time to
time by Villabeach, AMRO or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors
in interest. Such sales may be made on the over-the-counter market or otherwise
at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current
market price, or in negotiated private transactions, or in a combination of
these methods. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making
decisions with respect to the form, timing, manner and size of each sale. MediaX
is not aware of any existing arrangement between any selling stockholder, any
other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or
distribution of shares of common stock which may be sold by selling stockholders
through this prospectus.
The common shares may be sold in one or more of the following manners:
14
<PAGE> 17
- a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
- purchases by a broker or dealer for its account under this prospectus;
or
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchases.
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Except as disclosed in a
supplement to this prospectus, no broker-dealer will be paid more than a
customary brokerage commission in connection with any sale of the common shares
by the selling stockholders. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions,
discounts or other concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be
negotiated immediately prior to the sale. The compensation to a particular
broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. Profits on any resale
of the common shares as a principal by such broker-dealers and any commissions
received by such broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. Any broker-dealer participating in
such transactions as agent may receive commissions from the selling stockholders
(and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common shares, from such
purchaser).
Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified
number of common shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such
a broker dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling stockholders,
to purchase as principal any unsold common shares at price required to fulfill
the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who
acquire common shares as principal may thereafter resell such common shares from
time to time in transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions
and which may involve sales to and through other broker-dealers, including
transactions of the nature described above) in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or
receive from the purchasers of such common shares commissions computed as
described above. Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or
dealers may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with such sales.
MediaX will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these common
shares, although MediaX has paid the expenses of preparing this prospectus and
the related registration statement of which it is a part, and has reimbursed
Villabeach $10,000 and AMRO $5,000 for their legal, administrative and escrow
costs.
Selling stockholders are subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange
Act, including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Under applicable rules
and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of
the common shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with
respect to such securities for a period beginning when such person becomes a
distribution participant and ending upon such person's completion of
participation in a distribution, including stabilization activities in the
common shares to effect covering transactions, to impose penalty bids or to
effect passive market making bids. In addition, in connection with the
transactions in the common shares, selling stockholders and MediaX will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations under that Act, including, without limitation, the rules set forth
above. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the common shares.
The selling stockholders will pay all commissions and certain other expenses
associated with the sale of the common shares.
The price at which MediaX will issue the common shares to Villabeach under the
Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement will be 86% of the single lowest daily
price traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, for each day in the pricing
period with respect to each put.
Limited Grant of Registration Rights
MediaX granted registration rights to Villabeach and AMRO to enable them to sell
the common stock acquired under the credit agreement and purchase agreement,
respectively. In connection with any such registration, MediaX will have no
obligation -
- to assist or cooperate with Villabeach or AMRO in the offering or
disposition of such shares;
- to indemnify or hold harmless the holders of any such shares (other than
Villabeach or AMRO) or any underwriter designated by such holders;
- to obtain a commitment from an underwriter relative to the sale of any
such shares; or
15
<PAGE> 18
- to include such shares within any underwritten offering we do.
MediaX will assume no obligation or responsibility whatsoever to determine a
method of disposition for such shares or to otherwise include such shares within
the confines of any registered offering other than the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part.
MediaX will use its best efforts to file, during any period during which we are
required to do so under our registration rights agreement with Villabeach and
AMRO, one or more post-effective amendments to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part to describe any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this prospectus
or any material change to such information in this prospectus. This obligation
may include, to the extent required under the Securities Act of 1933, that a
supplemental prospectus be filed, disclosing
- the name of any broker-dealers;
- the number of common shares involved;
- the price at which the common shares are to be sold;
- the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to
broker-dealers, where applicable;
- that broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the
information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as
supplemented; and
- any other facts material to the transaction.
The registration rights agreements with Villabeach and AMRO permits MediaX to
restrict the resale of the shares they have purchased from us under their
respective agreements for a period of time sufficient to permit us to amend or
supplement this prospectus to include material information. If MediaX restricts
Villabeach or AMRO for more than 30 consecutive days and our stock price
declines during the restriction period, we are required to pay the parties cash
to compensate for its inability to sell shares during the restriction period.
The amount MediaX would be required to pay would be the difference between our
stock price on the first day of the restriction period and the last day of the
restriction period, for each share held by Villabeach or AMRO during the
restriction period that has been purchased under the agreements.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Valley Media, Inc. ("Valley") commenced an arbitration proceeding against MediaX
for breach of contract in relation to an order fulfillment contract and related
license agreement. MediaX participated in the arbitration while reserving the
right to challenge the scope of the arbitrator's authority and the arbitration
provision in the written agreement. On March 6, 2000, MediaX was ordered to pay
an arbitration award of $170,000 plus costs of approximately $13,000 to an order
fulfillment company. On or about May 31, 2000, MediaX filed a Notice of Appeal
with the California Court of Appeal, First Appellate District. In August 2000,
the parties entered into a settlement agreement, the terms of which provide for
full satisfaction of the arbitration award in exchange for MediaX's abandonment
of its appeal and payment to Valley of the amount of $150,000 in installments
until August 1, 2001. MediaX made its first payment of $20,000 to Valley in
August 2000.
There are no other legal proceedings in which MediaX is involved.

<PAGE> 21
29, 2000, 7,559,926 shares are issued and outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of

DISCLOSURE ON COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the 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 payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 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, the 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 public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On December 6, 1995, Zeitgeist, Inc. loaned Nancy Poertner, MediaX's President,
$50,000, pursuant to an unsecured note bearing interest at 4% and with a due
date of January 1, 2000. On February 25, 1996, an additional $50,000 was loaned
to Ms. Poertner on the same terms. As of the date of this report, a new due date
has yet to be determined. The total amount owed to MediaX under these notes is
$115,830 at December 31, 1999.
MEDIAX CORPORATION
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Originally founded as a multi-media production studio in 1995, MediaX Inc. was
acquired by ZeitGeist Werks, Inc and went public in 1996 and subsequently
renamed MediaX Corporation. MediaX began as a real-time 3D computer game
development company, developing high marquee-value intellectual properties, such
as the exclusive license for George Orwell's "1984" for distribution
19
<PAGE> 22
through both conventional and Internet distribution channels, as well as
licensing it to large publishers.
After the acquisition MediaX's business development strategy began to focus on
the production of new media content for Internet and Broadband channels; website
design and hosting and Internet-based commerce and on-line marketing. MediaX
believes that since any successful Internet presence today requires a skilled
and experienced engineering & graphic artist team and advanced technology, that
MediaX's real-time 3D engineering team and the technology developed by that
team, will prove to become a competitive advantage.
Leading edge on-line campaigns, such as the full screen real-time streaming
graphically intense event in June 1999 for Paul McCartney, could not have been
produced without this skill set. Subsequently MediaX has entered into several
contracts that require and recognize this development and technology skill set.
With the varied expertise of MediaX's Chairman, President and Executive Vice
President in the areas of artist and record company management, film production,
software development & distribution and proprietary technology development,
MediaX expects to bridge an existing gap in the entertainment and technology
markets and become a successful player in the Internet content production,
marketing and e-commerce market.
MediaX designs, owns, hosts and maintains an integrated network of distinct
types of entertainment based web sites. This network of sites positions MediaX
to generate revenue through web site design services, the sale of artist
specific merchandises, entertainment related products, club subscriptions,
endorsements by corporate sponsors, third party advertising and a variety of
products provided by affiliates. In February 1999, MediaX launched amuZnet.com,
an entertainment destination and e-commerce site now offering more than 300,000
entertainment titles on CDs, DVDs, videos and movies for sale. MediaX places its
own and/or third party marketing campaigns on amuZnet.com to generate
re-occurring traffic to the site.
With increasing numbers of visitors from MediaX's most recent site launches and
on-line campaigns with Rod Stewart, Divine, Paul McCartney, Faith Hill, AJ
MacLean and NSYNC, MediaX believes that amuZnet.com is on the path to become a
substantial entertainment destination site. MediaX's team of engineers and
graphic artists develops, designs and maintains all MediaX designed/owned sites
in this network and hosts most services on the MediaX server system, including
the real time streaming of video and audio.
MediaX continues to produce new content for the Internet and based on its
technological structure is in a position to re-purpose all Internet content it
has produced for interactive satellite broadcasting and other broadband systems
such as cable TV or ADSL subscriber systems, without applying significant
technological effort. This affords MediaX several outlets for the same digital
interactive content it produces.
MediaX has signed contracts with EchoStar (Dish Network) for the launch of an
Interactive Satellite Entertainment Channel and hopes to further tap into the
rapidly emerging efforts of cable and telecom companies with its existing
technology and content. However, there can be no assurance that MediaX will
achieve its objectives or successfully implement its interactive satellite
business plan.
Historical Products and Services
MediaX has developed, produced and marketed software products for the
information, entertainment and development tool sector of the software industry
in the form of software distributed on floppy disks and CD-ROM's. Three released
CD-ROM products are "On the Road with BB King, "Queensryche's Promised Land" and
"Peter Norton - PC Guru" distributed by MCA, EMI Records and MediaX,
respectively.
MediaX was selected by Apple Computer to produce the Welcome Experience for
their limited edition Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, which was introduced on
March 19, 1997. The multimedia presentation featured leading-edge animation,
digital video, interactive 3D graphics, original soundtrack and theater quality
audio, which highlighted the Macintosh's extreme multimedia capabilities.
In December 1997, MediaX released and distributed "Peter Norton - PC Guru."
During the fourth quarter of 1998, it was determined that this product would not
gain significant additional sales beyond 1998, therefore, MediaX has ceased
distribution of the product.
Historical Information
MediaX Corporation ("MediaX") was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Colorado on August 15, 1986 under the name Fata Morgana, Inc. On September 15,
1988, Fata Morgana, Inc. changed its name to Edinburgh Capital, Inc. On May 13,
1994, the corporation merged into Edinburgh Capital, Inc. (a Nevada corporation)
in order to change its state of domicile to Nevada.
20
<PAGE> 23
MediaX was originally formed for the primary purpose of seeking out acquisitions
of properties, businesses, or merger candidates, without limitation as to the
nature of the business operations or geographic area of the acquisition
candidate. From inception through the date of completion of its initial public
offering of securities, MediaX's activities were directed toward the acquisition
of operating capital.
MediaX, at that time Edinburgh Capital, Inc., completed its initial public
offering in October, 1989, receiving net proceeds of approximately $245,000 from
the sale of 30,000 Units (each Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of the
corporation's no par value common stock, and 100 common stock purchaser warrants
exercisable at $.02) at $10 per unit. The warrants expired in 1992.
During April 1994, Edinburgh Capital, Inc. effected a 1 for 300 reverse stock
split and on February 23, 1996, MediaX, at that time Edinburgh Capital, Inc.,
effected a 3.13 for 1 forward stock split.
On February 23, 1996, the name of Edinburgh Capital, Inc. was changed to
Zeitgeist Werks, Inc. On February 24, 1996, Zeitgeist Werks, Inc. acquired all
of the issued and outstanding shares of Zeitgeist, Inc., a Nevada corporation,
in exchange for 1,250,000 shares of its common stock.
On June 27, 1996, MediaX, a California corporation, was merged into Zeitgeist,
Inc., and Zeitgeist, Inc. issued 203,750 shares of its common stock to the
former shareholders of MediaX. On August 16, 1996, Zeitgeist, Inc. changed its
name to MediaX Corporation.
During November 1998, MediaX effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split. All
financial information and share data in the remainder of this prospectus give
retroactive effect to the reverse stock split (including the two aforementioned
stock splits).
EMPLOYEES
As of May 29, 2000, MediaX had 29 employees and subcontractors.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
As a site developer, MediaX develops its own proprietary sites, which sometimes
results in the development of innovative technology solutions with broad
applications in other growing markets, especially in the on-line environment.
MediaX owns several Internet domain names. MediaX either has filed or is in the
process of filing the appropriate applications for patents, trademarks or
licenses for its products. Based on the experience of its engineering and
graphic artist team and the successful launch and hosting of several prominent
web sites, MediaX is well positioned to gain revenues from site development and
Internet marketing services to larger corporations against payment of a
development fee and participation in e-commerce and advertising revenues with
these partners. MediaX has entered into such relationships.
COMPETITION
MediaX is a minor participant among companies that engage in multimedia and
Internet content development. Many of these companies have significantly greater
capitalization and experience in this industry. Additionally, online commerce is
rapidly evolving and highly competitive and MediaX expects competition to
further intensify. Barriers to entry are minimal, and a competitor can launch a
simple site at a relatively low cost. In addition, the general retail music
industry is also intensely competitive. MediaX currently competes with a variety
of companies, including online vendors of consumer products including CDs, DVDs,
music videos and other related products and traditional retailers of music
products, including specialty music retailers, many of which also have dedicated
web sites that compete directly with MediaX.
MediaX is aware that several of its competitors have aggressive pricing or
inventory availability policies and devote substantially more resources to site
and systems development than MediaX. Increased competition may result in reduced
operating margins.
There can be no assurance that MediaX will be able to compete successfully
against current and future competitors.
FUNDING
MediaX has also taken the following actions to provide future funding for
operations:
21
<PAGE> 24
On August 24, 1999, MediaX entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Apple Investors, LLC. In exchange for $2,200,000, MediaX issued a 5% Convertible
Debenture in the principal amount of $2,200,000 and a Warrant to purchase
220,000 shares of MediaX's common stock at $3.40 per share. The proceeds will be
used by MediaX for working capital. The offer and sale of the securities was
exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
On April 25, 2000, MediaX entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with
AMRO International, S.A. This Agreement allows the issuance and sale of up to
$500,000 of MediaX common stock to AMRO at a discount to the market price. The
proceeds will be used by MediaX for working capital.
On April 26, 2000, MediaX entered into an equity line of credit agreement with
Villabeach Investments Ltd. to provide private equity financing through the next
36 months. As soon as practicable after the effectiveness of the registration
statement, we plan to exercise a put for the maximum initial amount permitted
under the equity line. MediaX expects to effect subsequent puts of the
applicable maximum amount available under the equity line every 15 trading days
thereunder until the termination date of the equity line. The proceeds will be
used by MediaX for working capital.

digital downloads, custom compilations of CDs, movies for sale. MediaX also
sells advertising space and sponsorships to companies interested in promoting
their own goods and services within each entertainment web sites and amuZnet.com
customer base and visitors.
GOING CONCERN
MediaX has incurred significant net losses since its inception. At December 31,
1999, MediaX had a deficit accumulated during the
22
<PAGE> 25
development stage of $13,333,066. MediaX is no longer considered a development
stage company. As MediaX seeks to expand aggressively, it believes that its
operating expenses will continue at a certain level as a result of the financial
commitments related to the development of new web sites, marketing channels,
advertising, future marketing agreements and campaigns, acquisition of
entertainment content and improvements to its existing Internet sites and other
capital expenditures. The ability of MediaX to generate and enhance
profitability depends upon its ability to substantially increase its net sales.
To the extent that significantly higher net sales do not result from MediaX's
selling and marketing efforts, MediaX will be materially adversely affected.
MediaX may need to utilize its common stock to fund its operations through
fiscal 2000. As such, there can be no assurance that MediaX will realize such
anticipated sales or secure additional alternative financing. Because of the
above factors, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain an
auditor's report that is modified as to an uncertainty regarding MediaX's
ability to continue as a going concern.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In view of the rapidly evolving nature of MediaX's business and its limited
operating history, period-to-period comparisons of its revenues and operating
results, including operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenues, are
not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of
future performance and therefore, comparative discussions have not been
included. Although MediaX has experienced sequential quarterly growth in
revenues, it does not believe that its historical growth rates are necessarily
sustainable or indicative of future growth.
Year ended December 31, 1999 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1998 (as
restated)
Sales are composed of website design fees , membership dues, advertising,
sponsorships, sale of artist specific merchandises, pre-recorded music and other
entertainment-related products, net of returns and include outbound shipping and
handling charges. To further promote the websites, MediaX occasionally offers
free shipping and/or increases the discounts it offers to its customers which
partially offset the positive effect of website design fees , membership dues,
advertising and sponsorship revenue, which has a higher margin than product
sales.
Cost of sales consists primarily of cost of merchandise sold to customers,
including product fulfillment and outbound shipping and handling charges. MediaX
over time intends to expand its operations by promoting new or complementary
products or sales formats and by expanding the breadth and depth of its product
or service offerings and may otherwise alter its pricing structure and policies.
Included in cost of sales is payroll and related expenses for website
development of $296,417 and $68,108 for the years ended 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Additionally, included in the prior year cost of sales is cost of
merchandise of its discontinued CD-rom products of $65,696.
Operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for website
development, marketing; Internet content acquisition and operations of
underlying technology infrastructure; and general and administrative payroll and
other corporate expenses.
Total other income (expense) consists of interest income cash equivalents and
notes receivable, and interest expense including non-cash charge interest
expense associated with convertible debts and short-term borrowings.
Net Loss. MediaX's net loss was $7,244,707 for the year ended December 31, 1999,
compared to $3,352,541 for the comparable period last year.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
23
<PAGE> 26
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $808,575 compared to
$54,118 for the same period last year, an increase of 1,394.1% The change is
attributable to increased website design and executed third party marketing
campaigns and continued growth of MediaX's e-commerce site - amuZnet.com's
customer base; repeat purchases from existing customers of its network of
websites partially offset by decrease in membership dues which fluctuates
depending on touring schedules of major artists.
Cost and Operating Expenses are composed of operating and development
expense, sales and marketing; and general and administrative expense. Operating
and development expense was $755,889 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $571,718 for the corresponding period in 1999. The increase is
attributable to payroll and associated costs related to website designs and
enhancing the features and functionality of MediaX's network of websites;
increased investment in Internet content, network and telecommunications
infrastructure and; amortization and recognition of a non-cash charge of
$100,594 for options granted partially offset by a 1999 one-time non-cash charge
of $345,600 for options granted to consultants for content acquisitions.
Sales and marketing expense was $274,457 for the six months ended June 30,
2000, compared to $240,527 for the same period in 1999. The increase is
attributable to slight increase in payroll and associated costs; implementation
of marketing and promotion strategies to increase its customer base, brand
awareness and travel.
General and administrative expense was $548,710 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to $2,136,647 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The decrease is attributable to a net 1999 non-cash charge of $1,713,310 for
shares and options issued for services rendered partially offset by an increase
to payroll and related expenses, and other general and corporate expenses
incurred in the current year.
Total other expense was $39,582 for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to $438,973 for the corresponding period in 1999. The decrease is
attributable primarily to a 1999 one-time non-cash interest expense of $371,876
related to an inducement to convert debt to equity partially offset by interest
income earned from cash equivalents in the current year.
Net Loss. As a result of the these factors, MediaX's net loss was $810,063
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $3,333,747 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
24
<PAGE> 27
At December 31, 1999, MediaX had positive working capital of $1,087,082, as
compared to negative working capital of $1,773,728 at December 31, 1998. The
increase in working capital is attributed to the conversion of debentures and
exercise of options and warrants, an increase to prepaid advertising and net
proceeds received from convertible debt issued in August 1999 and sales of stock
to investors throughout the year partially offset by payments of general
operating expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities of $2,457,961 for the year ended December
31, 1999 was primarily attributed to a net loss of $7,244,707, offset by
$349,804 non-cash charge for depreciation and amortization, bad debt and
development costs written off; a $4,060,217 non-cash charge for stock-based
compensation for consulting services and common stock issued to employees and
non-employees, beneficial conversion of debentures and amortization of debt
issuance costs; and $150,953 for accrued interest on convertible debt and change
in other operating assets and liabilities of $225,772. Net cash used in
operating activities of $1,811,470 for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
primarily attributable to a net loss of $3,352,541, of which $358,003 for
depreciation and amortization and development costs written off; $590,475 was a
non-cash charge for stock-based compensation for consulting services and common
stock issued to employees and non-employees and change in other operating assets
and liabilities of $592,593.
Net cash used in investing activities was $60,023 for the year ended December
31, 1999, consisted of purchases of fixed assets. Net cash used in investing
activities was $218,486 for the year ended December 31, 1998 consisted of
acquisition of license agreement and trademark, deferred software development
costs and purchases of fixed assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,258,316 for the year ended
December 31, 1999, and consisted primarily of net proceeds from sale of stock to
investors, subscription advances, exercise of options and warrants and issuance
of convertible debentures. Net cash provided by financing was $1,657,258 for the
year ended December 31, 1998, and consisted primarily of net proceeds from sale
of stock to investors, subscription advances, exercise of options and warrants
and issuance of convertible debentures partially offset by payments made on
capital lease and retirement of notes payable.
At June 30, 2000, MediaX had positive working capital of $906,826, as compared
to a positive working capital of $1,087,082 at December 31, 1999. The decrease
in working capital is attributed to purchases of fixed assets and payments of
operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Net cash used in operating activities of $1,000,404 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 was primarily attributed to a net loss of $810,063, offset by
$25,865 non-cash charge for depreciation and amortization; a $110,677 non-cash
charge for stock-based compensation for consulting services and common stock
issued to employees and non-employees; $47,863 for accrued interest on
convertible debt and on stockholder notes receivable; and change in operating
assets and liabilities of $374,746. Net cash used in operating activities of
$964,938 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was primarily attributable to a
net loss $3,333,747, offset by $23,257 non-cash charge for depreciation and
amortization; a $2,059,618 non-cash charge for stock-based compensation for
consulting services and common stock issued to employees and non-employees;
$371,876 for beneficial conversion of debentures; and $66,105 for accrued
interest on convertible debt and on stockholder notes receivable ;and change in
other operating assets and liabilities of $152,047.
Net cash used in investing activities was $114,598 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and consisted of purchases of fixed assets. Net cash used in
investing activities was $216,954 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
consisted of acquisitions of
25
<PAGE> 28
intangible assets and purchases of fixed assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $560,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, and consisted of proceeds from subscription advances and
sale of stock to investors. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$1,241,757 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and consisted primarily of
net proceeds from sale of stock to investors, subscription advances, and
exercise of options and warrants.
MediaX's success and ongoing financial viability is contingent upon the success
and expansion of its network of sites, the increasing number of visitors to this
network, the revenues generated through its design services, business model,
advertising and sponsorships, the alliance with Echostar interactive satellite
distribution and the generation of related cash flows.
MediaX evaluates its liquidity and capital needs on a continuous basis and based
on MediaX's requirements and capital market conditions may, from time to time,
raise working capital through additional debt or equity financing. There is no
assurance that such financing will be available in the future to meet additional
capital needs of MediaX, or as to the terms or conditions of any such financing
that is available. Should there be any significant delays in the release of new
products, or lack of acceptance in the marketplace for such products if
released, or MediaX's working capital needs otherwise exceed its resources, the
adverse consequences would be severe. The generation of MediaX's current growth
and the expansion of MediaX's current business involve significant financial
risk and require significant capital investment.
Although MediaX has no material commitments for capital expenditures, it
anticipates a substantial increase in capital expenditures and lease commitments
in connection with anticipated growth in operations and infrastructure.
Furthermore, MediaX will need to spend significant amounts for sales and
marketing, advertising and promoting its brands, content development and
technology and infrastructure development and personnel. On April 2000, MediaX
entered into a private equity line of credit agreement with an investor to
purchase an aggregate $6,000,000 of its common stock. Should MediaX fail to
register this transaction, increase sales or raise the additional funds, MediaX
will have insufficient funds for its intended operations and capital
expenditures and will have a material adverse effect on MediaX's operating
results.
Because MediaX has incurred cumulative losses from inception through December
31, 1999 of $13,333,066 and lacks profitable operational history in internet
services, MediaX's auditors, in their report on the financial statements of
MediaX as of December 31, 1999, expressed doubt about MediaX's ability to
continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. MediaX intends to obtain additional debt and equity financing
including the $6,000,000 Private Equity Line of Credit discussed in this
prospectus for marketing, development and the funding of operations as well as
the generating of income from product sales and services. Management believes
these funding sources will be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures,
working capital requirements and other cash requirements through December 31,
2000. There is no assurance MediaX will be able to obtain sufficient additional
funds when needed, or that, such funds, if available, will be obtainable on
terms satisfactory to MediaX.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
MediaX maintains its corporate office at 3455 La Cienega Boulevard, Building C,
Los Angeles, CA 90016 on a lease through December 2004. The agreement provides
for monthly lease payments of $9,250 increasing yearly to $10,411 in the last
year. MediaX maintains its software development office at 303 Potrero Street,
#42-302, Santa Cruz, California 95060. MediaX pays approximately $3,146 per
month for rent pursuant to a lease, which expired in June 2000. MediaX intends
to renew this lease for another 12 months.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
MediaX entered into an employment agreement with its President. The agreement
which expires in December 2001, provides for an annual base salary of $185,000
and increases to $215,000. The aggregate minimum annual commitment for future
payments at December 31, 1999 was approximately $400,000. Amounts paid pursuant
to this agreement totaled $185,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
MediaX entered into an employment agreement with its executive vice president.
The agreement, which expires in June 2001, provides for an annual base salary of
$185,000 and increases to $215,000. The aggregate minimum annual commitment for
future payments at December 31, 1999 was approximately $307,500. Amounts paid
pursuant to this agreement totaled $143,000 and $125,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Both of these agreements also provide for a bonus at the end of each fiscal
quarter as determined by MediaX's Board of Directors. No bonuses have been
declared or paid since inception. Both the President and Executive
Vice-President may voluntarily terminate their employment at any time.
Consulting Fees to Officer/Director
Beginning August 1, 1998, MediaX's chairman provides services to MediaX pursuant
to a month to month consulting agreement requiring $10,000 for each month
worked. During 1999 and 1998, MediaX expensed $120,000 and $50,000,
respectively, related to this agreement. As of December 31, 1999, $40,000 is
accrued and included in accounts payable. In January 2000, the Chairman, Rainer
Poertner accepted a full-time management position with MediaX.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
During April 1996, the Board of Directors adopted a Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"), and on July 3, 1996, MediaX's shareholders approved the Plan. The Plan
authorized the issuance of options to purchase up to 100,000 shares of MediaX's
common stock. During December 1998, MediaX amended the Plan to increase the
available amount of shares to purchase under the plan to 500,000 shares of
MediaX's common stock. All options granted must have an exercise price no less
than the stock's fair market value on the date of grant.
28
<PAGE> 31
The Plan allows the Board to grant stock options from time to time to employees,
officers, directors and consultants of MediaX. The Board has the power to
determine at the time that the option is granted whether the option will be an
Incentive Stock Option (an option which qualifies under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986) or an option which is not an Incentive Stock
Option. Vesting provisions are determined by the Board at the time options are
granted. The option price for any option will be no less than the fair market
value of the common stock on the date the option is granted.
Since all options granted under the Plan must have an exercise price no less
than the fair market value on the date of grant, MediaX will not record any
expense upon the grant of options, regardless of whether or not they are
incentive stock options. Generally, there will be no federal income tax
consequences to MediaX in connection with Incentive Stock Options granted under
the Plan. With regard to options that are not Incentive Stock Options, MediaX
will ordinarily be entitled to deductions for income tax purposes of the amount
that option holders report as ordinary income upon the exercise of such options,
in the year such income is reported.
Options granted under the Plan to employees, officers and directors was 193,000
shares at an exercise price of $0.98 for 1998 and 93,000 shares at an exercise
price of $1.68 for 1999.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors MediaX Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of MediaX Corporation (a
development stage company) (the "Company") as of December 31, 1999, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
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 financial statements 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 financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial
statements, the Company is a development stage company which has experienced
significant losses since inception with no significant revenues. These factors
and other factors discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

MEDIAX CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
FOR THE PERIOD FROM MARCH 30, 1995 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Originally founded as a multi-media production studio in 1995, MediaX Inc. was
acquired and became public in 1996 as ZeitGeist Werks, Inc. and subsequently
renamed MediaX Corporation ("MediaX" or the "Company"). MediaX began as a
real-time 3D computer game development company for distribution through both
conventional and Internet distribution channels, as well as licensing through
large publishers. After the acquisition, the Company's strategic focus is
centered on the following: new media content, web site development for Internet
and broadband channels, Internet-based commerce and on-line marketing.
MediaX designs, owns, operates, hosts and integrates a network of several
distinct types of entertainment-based Internet web sites. The company is
positioned to generate revenue through web site design services, the sale of
artist specific merchandise, entertainment-related products, club subscriptions,
endorsement opportunities for corporate sponsors, third party advertising and a
variety of products provided by affiliates. In February 1999, the Company
launched amuZnet.com, an entertainment destination and e-commerce site offering
entertainment titles on CDs, DVDs, videos and movies for sale. The Company
operates its own and/or third party marketing campaigns on amuZnet.com.
All content that is currently produced for the Internet will be re-purposed for
interactive satellite broadcasting and can also easily be transferred to other
broadband systems such as cable TV or ADSL subscriber systems without
significant technological effort. This puts the Company in the position to have
several outlets for the digital interactive content it produces. The Company has
signed contracts with EchoStar (Dish Network) for the launch of an Interactive
Satellite Channel and hopes to further tap into the rapidly emerging efforts of
cable and telecom companies with its existing technology and content expected to
be launched in late 2000. However, there can be no assurance that the Company
will achieve its objectives or successfully implement its interactive satellite
business plan.
Development Stage Company
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation due to the
change in the Company's business plan in late 1998 with no significant revenues
being generated from these proposed new activities. During the development
stage, the Company is primarily engaged in raising capital, obtaining financing,
advertising and promoting the Company and administrative functions along with
developing a unique network of celebrity web sites, central e-commerce sites,
unique entertainment and an on-line shopping experience.
Restatement of 1998 Financial Statements
Based on updated information on certain transactions, the Company has restated
its 1998 audited financial statements as follows:
The estimated fair market value of 190,000 shares of restricted stock
committed to be issued in December 1998 for services rendered (see Note 4)
were not recorded as the stock had not yet been issued. Based on updated
information, the estimated fair market value of the stock has been recorded
at $185,625. The estimated value of options and warrants to purchase 191,000
shares of common stock issued to consultants (see Notes 5 and 6) for
services rendered were incorrectly recorded at $0. Based on updated
information, the estimated fair value of the options and warrants was
$415,190, of which $404,850 was recorded in 1998. In addition, the estimated
value of the detachable warrants issued to purchase 3,676,667 shares of
common stock in connection with sale of stock (see Note 4) were incorrectly
recorded at $0. Based on updated information, the estimated fair value of
the detachable warrants (recorded as stock dividends) has been recorded at
$456,622. As a result of these restatements, the Company's loss for fiscal
1998 was restated to $3,352,541 from the previously recorded $2,762,066 and
the loss per share was restated to $(1.79) from
F-19
<PAGE> 52
the previously recorded $(1.49).
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company is a development stage company subject to the substantial business
risks and uncertainties of such an entity, including potential risk of business
failure.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company's losses from operations through December 31, 1999 and
lack of operating history, among other matters, raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company hopes to obtain revenues
from product sales and the development of celebrity web sites. In the absence of
significant sales and profits, the Company intends to fund operations through
additional debt and equity financing arrangements which management believes will
be sufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital requirements and
other cash requirements through December 31, 2000. There is no assurance the
Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that
such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the
Company.
These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Year 2000
The Year 2000 issues relates to limitations in computer systems and applications
that may prevent proper recognition of the Year 2000. The potential effect of
the Year 2000 issue on the Company and its business partners will not be fully
determinable until the Year 2000 and thereafter. If the Year 2000 modifications
are not properly completed either by the Company or entities with which the
Company conducts business, the Company's revenues and financial condition could
be adversely impacted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist
of demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less. Cash
equivalents are carried at cost which approximates market.
Inventories
Inventories at December 31, 1999 consist primarily of artist specific
merchandise sold over the Internet. Inventories are recorded at the lower of
cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
ranging from three to seven years. Depreciation expense for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $47,112 and $57,059, respectively. Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and
betterments are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of
property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Deferred Software Development Costs
Certain development costs of CD-rom masters were capitalized in accordance with
SFAS No. 86 ("SFAS 86"), "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" and are reported at the lower of unamortized
cost or net realizable value. Amortization will be taken commencing with the
sales activity of the related product using the straight-line method
F-20
<PAGE> 53
and asset lives approximating the retail sales life of the final product,
generally three to five years. During 1999 and 1998, due to the change in the
Company's business plan, the Company wrote-off previously capitalized and in
process software development costs of $294,192 and $255,000, respectively, which
are recorded in the accompanying statements of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Management of the Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets by
comparing the future undiscounted net cash flows (without interest charges) from
the use and ultimate disposition of such assets with their carrying amounts. The
amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to
operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by management.
There was no impairment of long-lived assets identified for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under SFAS 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is
provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not
that such assets will not be recovered.
Stock Based Compensation
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which defines a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation. However, SFAS 123 allows an entity to continue to
measure compensation cost related to stock and stock options issued to employees
using the intrinsic method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Entities electing to remain with the accounting method of APB 25 must make pro
forma disclosures of net income (loss), as if the fair value method of
accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to
account for its stock-based compensation to employees under APB 25.
Revenue Recognition
Sales of goods and services and the related cost of sales are recognized when
orders are received and goods are shipped or services are delivered. Revenues
from internet advertising and web development are recorded when earned.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Prepaid advertising costs represents
the estimated market value of stock issued (see Note 4) and options granted (see
Note 5) to a third party for advertising to be received in future periods.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 changes the methodology of
calculating earnings per share and renamed the two calculations, basic earnings
per share (formerly primary) and diluted earnings per share (formerly fully
diluted). The calculations differ by eliminating any common stock equivalents
(such as stock options, warrants, etc.) from basic earnings per share and
changes certain calculations when computing diluted earnings per share. The
adoption of SFAS 128 has not materially impacted the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
Basic and diluted loss per share were computed based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted loss per share
are the same as the effect of stock options and warrants on loss per share are
antidilutive and thus not included in the diluted loss per share calculation.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130
("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full
set of general-purpose
F-21
<PAGE> 54
financial statements. SFAS 130 had no effect on the Company's financial
statements as it had no comprehensive income components.
Segment Information
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131
("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS 131 changes the way public companies report information about
segments of their business in their annual financial statements and requires
them to report selected segment information in their quarterly reports issued to
stockholders. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and
services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and
reports revenues and its major customers. As the Company is currently in the
development stage, the Company does not yet have any reportable segments.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS 107"), "Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments." SFAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information
about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The
carrying amount of the Company's cash, receivables, trade payables, accrued
expenses and convertible notes payable approximates their estimated fair values
due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments or because
interest rates approximate market rates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS
133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at their fair value. This
statement, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for financial statements for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its
results of operations, financial position or cash flows as it currently does not
engage in any derivative or hedging activities.
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Effective November 18, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a reverse
stock split of ten-to-one. All references throughout these financial statements
to number of shares, per share amounts, stock option data and market prices of
the Company's common stock have been restated to reflect the reverse stock
split.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 1998 financial
statements in order to conform to classification used in the current year.
NOTE 2 - CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES AND NOTES PAYABLE
Included in convertible subordinated debentures payable at December 31, 1998 was
$1,454,092 of various notes payable. The notes, bearing interest at the prime
rate (prime rate at December 31, 1998 was 8.25%) plus 2% to 4%, were due on
various dates through September 1999. In 1999, the Company offered the note
holders an inducement to convert the notes with a current balance of $1,566,192
(including accrued interest in 1999 of $112,100) into common stock at $1.69 per
share (estimated fair market value on the date of conversion was approximately
$2.71 per share) or 921,925 shares. As a result of this induced conversion, the
Company recorded additional interest expense of $938,112 during the year ended
December 31, 1999.
In 1999, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an
investor, whereby the Company sold to the investor a $2,200,000 principal amount
convertible note for $2,024,000 (net of debt issuance costs of $176,000, which
were amortized to interest expense due to the immediate convertibility of this
note). The note bears interest at 5% and is due on August 24, 2002. The holder
of the note has the option to require interest payments in cash or stock. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company has incurred interest expense related to the note
in the amount of $38,877. The note is convertible at beneficial rates which vary
based on recent stock prices and date of conversion, as defined. Due to the note
being immediately convertible at the option of the noteholder, the Company has
recorded a beneficial conversion of $349,186 that is included in interest
expense at December 31, 1999. In addition, the Company
F-22
<PAGE> 55
gave the investor a warrant to purchase 220,000 shares of its common stock at
$3.40 per share expiring in August 23, 2004 which was valued at $345,400 (based
on Black-Scholes computation under SFAS 123 - see Note 6) and recorded as
interest expense.
NOTE 3 - SUBSCRIPTION ADVANCES
Subscription advances represents monies received in advance from certain
investors for the future exercise of warrants or purchase of stock. The total
number of warrants to be exercised or the total number of shares to be purchased
has not yet been determined. During 1999, $220,000 of the previously received
advances were utilized to exercise certain warrants (see Note 4) and the Company
received $178,993 of new advances. At December 31, 1999, the total outstanding
balance on subscription advances was $278,993.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize up to 10,000,000 shares of
$.0001 par value preferred stock. Shares of preferred stock may be issued in one
or more classes or series at such time the Board of Directors may determine. All
shares of any one series shall be equal in rank and identical in all respects.
As of December 31, 1999, the Board of Directors has designated 6,000,000 as
Series A 10% convertible preferred stock ("Preferred A"). Each Preferred A share
has a liquidation preference of $1 per share plus accrued dividends and is

31, 1999, no preferred shares have been issued.
Common Stock
During April to December 1998, the Company sold 468,313 shares to an accredited
investor for proceeds of $500,000. In addition, the Company granted to this
investor warrants to purchase up to 3,676,667 shares of common stock at varying
prices with a fair market value of $456,622 (based on Black-Scholes computation
under SFAS 123) and recorded as a common stock dividend. The warrants expire on
various dates through September 7, 2001 and the number of shares and price per
share will not be adjusted for any future stock splits or reverse stock splits.
In addition, the investor is limited to only exercise 200,000 warrants in any
sixty-day period. 200,000 of these warrants were exercised during December of
1998 for proceeds of $20,000. During 1999, 1,608,667 of these warrants were
exercised for proceeds of $422,007, of which $220,000 was received in prior year

are exercisable at December 31, 1999. The remaining 314,231 warrants have
exercise prices between $3.40 and $15.00, with a weighted average remaining
contractual life of 4.8 years. All of these warrants are exercisable at December
31, 1999.
The fair value of each warrant granted during 1999 and 1998 is estimated using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant using the following
assumptions: (i) no dividend yield, (ii) average volatility of 174 percent and
200 percent, respectively, (iii) weighted-average risk-free interest rate of
approximately 5.95 percent and 4.66 percent, respectively, and (iv) expected
life of 1.5 years.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

F-25
<PAGE> 58
Stockholder notes receivable represents monies loaned to the Company's President
and stockholder. The notes, which are due on demand, are uncollateralized and
bear interest at 4% per annum. At December 31, 1999, the total outstanding
balance was $115,830, including accrued interest of $15,830, of which $4,000 was
recorded in 1999 and 1998, respectively. As the notes are due from the President
and stockholder, the Company has presented the receivables as a reduction of
stockholders' deficit at December 31, 1999.
COMMITMENT - EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company entered into an employment agreement with its President. The
agreement which expires in December 2001, provides for an annual base salary of
$185,000 and increases to $215,000. The aggregate minimum annual commitment for
future payments at December 31, 1999 was approximately $400,000. Amounts paid
pursuant to this agreement totaled $185,000 for the years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with its executive vice
president. The agreement, which expires in June 2001, provides for an annual
base salary of $185,000 and increases to $215,000. The aggregate minimum annual
commitment for future payments at December 31, 1999 was approximately $307,500.
Amounts paid pursuant to this agreement totaled $143,000 and $125,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Both of these agreements also provide for a bonus at the end of each fiscal
quarter as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. No bonuses have been
declared or paid since inception. Both the President and Executive
Vice-President may voluntarily terminate their employment at any time.
CONSULTING FEES TO OFFICER/DIRECTOR
Beginning August 1, 1998, the Company's chairman provides services to the
Company pursuant to a month to month consulting agreement requiring $10,000 for
each month worked. During 1999 and 1998, the Company expensed $120,000 and
$50,000, respectively, related to this agreement. As of December 31, 1999,
$40,000 is accrued and included in accounts payable. In January 2000, the
Chairman accepted a full-time management position with the Company.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred taxes as of
December 31, 1999 are as follows:

</TABLE>
The valuation allowance increased by approximately $2,941,800 during the year
ended December 31, 1999. No current provision for income taxes for the periods
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 is required, except for minimum state taxes,
since the Company incurred taxable losses during such years.
The provision for income taxes for fiscal 1999 and 1998 was $800 and differs
from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to
loss before income taxes as a result of the following as of December 31:

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $10,760,000 and $5,960,000 for federal and state income tax
reporting purposes, which begin expiring in 2011 and 2001, respectively.
In the event the Company were to experience a greater than 50% change in
ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the
utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards could be severely
restricted.

program in which each full time employee with at least three months of service
may contribute up to 15% of his/her gross salary (up to a maximum of $9,500
adjusted annually for inflation) annually on a tax-deferred basis. The Company
is not required to make any employer contributions to the plan.

Direct Fulfillment Service
In December 1998, the Company entered into a consumer direct fulfillment service
agreement with a third party. The agreement, which expires in December 2001,
provides for a minimum monthly commitment fee of $2,000, increasing to $4,000 in
August 1999, or 1.5% of sales. The aggregate minimum commitment for future
payments at December 31, 1999 was approximately $96,000. Amounts paid pursuant
to this agreement totaled $24,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2000, the Company granted options to purchase 50,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.68 (estimated by the Company
to be the fair market value) to consultants. The options vest immediately and
are exercisable through December 2001. Total consulting expense to be recognized
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant to SFAS 123 is
approximately $80,000.
In February 2000, the Company granted options to employees to purchase 50,000 of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.81 (estimated by the
Company to be the fair market value). The options vest over a three-year period
and are exercisable through December 2008.
F-27
<PAGE> 60
In February 2000, noteholders of convertible debentures exercised their option
to convert $102,575 (including accrued interest of $2,575) of debt into 75,981
shares of the Company's common stock.
In March 2000, the Company was ordered to pay an arbitration award of $170,000
plus costs of approximately $13,000 to an order fulfillment company. The award
was a result of a breach of contract pursuant to a 1999 licensing agreement
between the Company and the order fulfillment company; therefore the Company has
recorded the related liability of approximately $183,000 at December 31, 1999 in
the related balance sheet and statement of operations. In August 2000, the
parties entered into a settlement agreement, the terms of which provide for the
Company's abandonment of its appeal and payment to the order fulfillment company
of $150,000 in installments until August 1, 2001. The Company made its first
payment to the order fulfillment company of $20,000 in August 2000.
In March 2000, the Company issued 218,000 shares of the Company's common stock
in connection with the exercise of warrants for $58,200, which was included in
subscription advances as of December 31, 1999.

MEDIAX CORPORATION Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Six
Months Ended June 30, 2000
Note 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements of MediaX Corporation ("MediaX") for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited. Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto included in MediaX's Form 10-KSB as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1999. In the opinion of management, the financial statements
contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
to present fairly the financial position of MediaX for the periods presented.
The interim operating results may not be indicative of operating results for the
full year or for any other interim periods.
Note 2: THE COMPANY
MediaX began as a real-time 3D computer game and educational software developer.
Late in 1998, its business plan successfully changed to integrate internally
developed 3D engineering and technology with web site design for the Internet.
MediaX provides website design, hosting, online marketing, platforms for third
party advertising and e-commerce for music artists and its own entertainment
destination site - amuZnet.com. Additionally, it produces exclusive new media
content for the Internet, with the view, to repurpose it - for interactive
satellite broadcasting and other broadband channels. However, there can be no
assurance that it will achieve its objectives or successfully implement its
business plan.
Note 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DEVELOPMENT STAGE - Effective January 2000, as a result of several contracts
entered into by MediaX to provide web design, marketing and other Internet
services, management has determined that it is no longer in the development
stage. All references to cumulative statements of operations and statements of
cash flows have been eliminated in these accompanying financial statements.
GOING CONCERN - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming MediaX will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among
other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. Losses from operations through June 30, 2000 and lack
of operating history, among other matters, raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. In the absence of significant sales and
profits, MediaX - intends to fund operations through additional debt and equity
financing arrangements which management believes will be sufficient to fund its
capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other cash requirements
through December 31, 2000. In April 2000, MediaX entered into a private equity
line of credit agreement with an investor to purchase an aggregate $6,000,000 of
its common stock. Should MediaX fail to register this transaction, increase
sales or raise the additional funds, MediaX will have insufficient funds for its
intended operations and capital expenditures which - will have a material
adverse effect on MediaX's operating results. MediaX's financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
RECLASSIFICATION - The financial statements for the prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to current period's presentation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - All revenue generated from fixed-price contracts is
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting based on the
ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. All revenue generated from
time and material contracts is recognized as services are provided. Revenues
from maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the terms of the
agreements. In connection with this policy, MediaX has recorded $150,000 of
deferred revenue as of June 30, 2000, representing costs to be incurred under a
fixed-price contract.
CONCENTRATION OF SALES RISK - Two customers accounted for 93% and 91% of net
sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively.
Accounts receivable from these customers at June 30, 2000 comprised 96% of the
total accounts receivable. The loss of either of these customers would have a
significant impact on operating results.
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE - MediaX has presented basic and diluted loss
per share amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings per
Share". Basic and diluted loss per share was computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted loss per
share are the same (in the periods with losses) as the effect of common stock
equivalents (such as stock options, warrants, etc) on loss per share are
antidilutive and thus not included in the diluted per share calculation.
SEGMENT INFORMATION - MediaX has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information." SFAS 131 changes the way public companies report
information about segments of their business in their annual financial
statements and requires them to report selected segment information in their
quarterly reports issued to stockholders. It also requires entity-wide
disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material
countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers.
MediaX does not yet have any reportable segments for the six months ended June
30, 2000.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In March 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force
reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-2, "Accounting for Web Site Development
Costs" to be applicable to all web site development costs incurred for the
quarter beginning after June 30, 2000. The consensus states that for specific
web site development costs, the accounting for such costs should be accounted
for under AICPA Statement of Position 98-1 (SOP 98-1), "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Accordingly,
certain web site development costs which are presently being expensed as
incurred, will be capitalized and amortized. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-2
is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) 101, "Revenue Recognition,"
F-33
<PAGE> 66
which outlines the sic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and
provides guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to
revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The effective date of this pronouncement is the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999. MediaX believes
that adopting SAB 101 will not have a material impact on its financial position
and results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44) Accounting
for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25 FIN 44 clarifies the application of Opinion 25 for (a) the
definition of employee for purposes of applying Opinion 25, (b) the criteria for
determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the
accounting consequence for various modifications to the terms of a previously
fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock
compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000,
but certain provisions cover specific events that occur after either December
15, 1998,or January 12, 2000. The adoption of certain other provisions of FIN 44
prior to March 31, 2000 did not have a material effect on the financial
statements. MediaX does not expect that the adoption of the remaining provisions
will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Note 4: CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
The following transactions pertain to a convertible notes payable dated August
24, 1999. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, an investor
converted $516,335 of principal and accrued interest into common stock at an
average price of $1.25 per share or 413,800 shares. Interest expense related to
notes for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is $49,863 and $68,105,
respectively.
Note 5: SUBSCRIPTION ADVANCES
Subscription advances represents monies received in advance from certain
investors for the future exercise of warrants or purchase of stock. The total
number of warrants to be exercised or the total number of shares to be purchased
has not yet been determined. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, $100,000
of additional advances were received and $58,200 of the advances were utilized
to exercise warrants to purchase 218,000 common shares. As of June 30, 2000,
subscription advances were $320,793.
Note 6: COMMON STOCK ISSUANCES
On May 30, 2000, MediaX issued 10,000 restricted common shares to an outside
consultant for services valued at $9,375 (based on the market value of the stock
on the date of issuance).
On April 25, 2000, MediaX entered into a securities purchase agreement with an
investor, whereby it sold to the investor $500,000 of restricted common stock
(as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933) or 326,584
shares at $1.531 per share. MediaX granted the investor registration rights with
respect to the shares purchased and has filed such registration statement on May
31, 2000. If any, additional shares would be required based on MediaX's
obligation right to reprice, as defined, these shares would be covered under the
registration agreement. MediaX received $470,000 net of offering costs of
$30,000.
On April 28, 2000, MediaX issued 5,000 restricted common shares for finders fees
and paid $10,000 offering costs in relation to a private equity line agreement
(See Note 6).
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, an investor converted $516,335 of
principal and accrued interest into common stock at an average price of $1.25
per share or 413,800 shares, pursuant to a 5% convertible note entered into in
1999.
In March 2000, MediaX issued 218,000 shares of common stock in connection with
the exercise of stock warrants for $58,200 (See Note 5).
F-34
<PAGE> 67
Note 7: OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
From time to time, MediaX issues stock options and/or warrants pursuant to
various consulting and outside service provider agreements. There were no

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
On January 11, 2000, MediaX filed on Form 8-K, reporting a change of MediaX's
accountants. Davis & CO., CPA's P.C was previously the principal accountants for
MediaX. On January 4, 2000, Davis & CO., CPA's P.C was disengaged by MediaX as
principal accountants and Corbin & Wertz was engaged as principal accountants to
audit the accounts of MediaX for the year ending December 31, 1999. The decision
to change accountants was approved by MediaX's Board of Directors.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and through the date of
this report, there were no disagreements with Davis & CO., CPA's P.C on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
audit scope or procedure which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction
of Davis & CO., CPA's P.C , would have caused them to make reference to the
matter of such disagreement in connection with the Form 8-K, dated January 11,
2000. The accountant's report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 was modified as to uncertainty that MediaX will continue as a going
concern. MediaX has suffered recurring losses from operations, and has net
working capital and stockholders' equity deficiencies. These matters raise
substantial doubt about MediaX's ability to continue as a going concern.
MediaX had requested that Davis & CO., CPA's P.C furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees
with the above statements. A copy of that letter is filed as Exhibit 1 to the
Form 8-K, dated January 11, 2000, incorporated herein by reference.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under
which any controlling person, director or officer of registrant is insured or
indemnified in any manner against any liability which they may incur in their
capacity as such is Sections 78.7502 and 78.751, the text of which is set forth
below.
SECTION 78.7502. DISCRETIONARY AND MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS: GENERAL PROVISIONS
II-1
<PAGE> 70
1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an
action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
2. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for
any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to
be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or
suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon
application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense.
SECTION 78.751. AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED FOR DISCRETIONARY INDEMNIFICATION;
ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES; LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF
EXPENSES
1. Any discretionary indemnification under NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a
court or advanced pursuant to subsection 2, may be made by the corporation only
as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The
determination must be made:
(a) By the stockholders;
(b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion; or
(d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action,
suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.
2. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the
corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
3. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a
court pursuant to this section:
II-2
<PAGE> 71
(a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of
incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an
action in another capacity while holding his office, except that
indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the
advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on
behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his
acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation
of the law and was material to the cause of action.
(b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.
