PART I
ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Over the past year, iNTELEFILM(sm) Corporation (the "Company") has
transformed itself into a leading source of services for the television
commercial production and related media business industry through acquisitions
and the establishment of relationships in the industry, and now offers the most
extensive production capability for television commercials, music videos and
related media available in the United States and the exclusive services of
established talent (See General Overview of 1999 Events and Transactions). In
January 1999, the Company completed its exit from the children's entertainment
and radio business when it sold the last of its radio stations to Radio Unica
Corp.
The Company believes that the expanded number of television channels,
advances in digital technology and the demand for effective advertising concepts
and efficient delivery of production services create significant opportunities
for the Company in traditional broadcast media and on the Internet.
During 1999, the Company increased its ownership interest in Harmony
Holdings, Inc. ("Harmony"), a company which produces television commercials,
music videos and related media, from 49.1% to 55.2%. For reporting purposes, the
Company now consolidates Harmony's financial statements under the purchase
method of accounting for the acquisition of a majority interest in a subsidiary.
On March 23, 2000, the Company announced its proposal to commence an exchange
tender offer to the shareholders of Harmony to acquire all of the outstanding
shares of Harmony not currently owned by the Company. The Company proposes to
offer one share of its common stock for every 13.75 shares of Harmony's common
stock.
In January 2000, the Company, through its relationships with AT&T,
Excalibur Technologies, The Source Maythenyi and Spot Rocket, announced the
formation of webADTV.com, Inc. ("webADTV"). webADTV, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, was organized to provide a complete web based source of
communications, commerce, solutions and services to advertising agencies and
other companies in the advertising campaign production industry.
The Company's services are usually directed towards advertising
agencies located in the major markets of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago,
Minneapolis, Detroit, Dallas and San Francisco as well as regional markets. The
Company provides commercial production services to such major advertisers as
Acura, Anheuser Busch, AT&T, Audi, Bank of America, Blue Cross, Coca Cola,
Canon, Disney, Kellogg's, Kodak, McDonald's, Motorola, Nike, Nintendo, Reebok,
Sears, Sony, State Farm and Visa. The Company also works with such major
advertising agencies as Leo Burnett, Bozell Worldwide, Foote, J. Walter
Thompson, DDB Needham, Young & Rubicam and Fallon McElligot.
The Company was incorporated under the Minnesota Business Corporation
Act on February 7, 1990. All references to the Company herein include its
subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted. The Company's executive office is located
at 5501 Excelsior Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416, and its telephone
number is (612) 925-8840. The Company's website is http://www.intelefilm.com.
BUSINESS AND ACQUISITION STRATEGY
COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION STRATEGY
It is the Company's objective to provide an end-to-end commercial
production solution for advertising agencies enabling the Company to provide the
highest level of service to its clients. To do so, the Company intends to
further expand its television commercial production service business and
holdings through acquisitions
2
<PAGE> 4
and/or opportunities within its present divisions. The Company intends to seek
to acquire production service companies, such as rental, editing,
designing/marketing, post-production or music companies. The Company believes
that it can increase revenues and profits through the acquisition of production
companies and related service companies.
By creating this infrastructure, the Company believes it can also
create a community for creative talent including a highly effective and
cost-efficient professional support organization, experienced executive
producers and integrated production services. The Company believes key talent
will recognize that the Company will provide an environment conducive to
creativity by relieving them and production management of the responsibility of
business and financing operations while providing a measure of financial
stability. Key talent will also recognize the possibility of the Company taking
a long-term interest in their career that traditional, independent production
houses typically do not provide.
The Company believes the primary benefits of its strategy include:
- offering more extensive services than its competitors;
- attracting key talent;
- higher overall profit margins;
- economies of scale;
- centralization of accounting, legal and marketing functions; and
- the ability to receive support services at lower costs.
The Company believes it should have adequate capital to continue its
acquisition strategy and business plan over the next 12 months. However, should
a potential acquisition be greater than the Company's current cash sources, the
Company may need to obtain additional financing. If the Company is not able to
obtain adequate financing or financing on acceptable terms, it could possibly
cause a delay in the implementation of its full business plan. There can be no
assurance that the Company will consummate any additional acquisition or that
any acquisition, if consummated, will ultimately be advantageous or profitable
for the Company.
INTERNET STRATEGY
As the leader in television commercial production, the Company has
developed a high level of expertise in the development of short form video and
advertising. The Company has assessed its strengths in these areas and has
identified several Internet initiatives:
- utilization of the Internet for productivity gains;
- development of a global presence;
- creation of short form content via the Company's directorial talent
pool for use on the Internet;
- development of new advertising solutions for the Internet through
integration of character-based content; and
- creation of the leading business to business portal to serve the
advertising agency industry.
The Company believes the Internet can be used for greater communication
within each of its divisions, sales network and as a solution to provide lower
costs and improve productivity and information availability. Additionally, the
Company currently spends approximately $750,000 per year to dub and send
directorial reels to advertising agencies and their clients. The Company is
exploring the elimination of this process through Internet video systems
including a beta version of the inteleSource.org ("inteleSource") system
described below.
DEVELOPMENT OF SHORT FORM CONTENT AND ADVERTISING
The Company is also exploring the use and development of short form
video together with the development of new Internet advertising models. Recent
studies have shown that banner ads create only a 0.2%
3
<PAGE> 5
click through rate. It is the Company's belief that rich media advertising is a
key to developing greater advertising revenue models for the Internet. Although
the Company recognizes that current broadband parameters still limit the
development of rich media advertising for the mass market, the Company believes
that there will be solutions to these barriers. Additionally, the Company
believes that rich media advertising to individuals while they are at work is a
viable opportunity due to high speed access at most business locations. As such,
the Company has begun to establish relationships with broadband providers to
maintain an awareness and participate in seeking the solution to the advertising
revenue models. In February 2000, the Company announced a relationship with
Hitplay, an entertainment video delivery network, pursuant to which the Company
will develop, produce and deliver original and archival entertainment video to
Hitplay and Hitplay will deliver the video over the Internet.
The Company currently retains the exclusive services of approximately
60 commercial directors. The Company believes that this director pool has the
video expertise necessary to meet the growing demand for short form video on the
Internet. The Company intends to leverage its talent base to explore the
convergence of content and technology over the Internet.
DEVELOPMENT OF A BUSINESS TO BUSINESS PORTAL
In January 2000, the Company formed webADTV. webADTV will provide a
complete web based source of communications, commerce, solutions and services to
the advertising agencies and other companies in the advertising campaign
production industry including news and information from affiliate content
providers, an e- commerce business generated from a wide range of affiliated
design and production sources and its subscription based archiving and retrieval
service, inteleSource. Initially, the portal will focus on the workflow needs
critical to advertising agencies in the $60 billion television commercial
production arena. webADTV will later expand to meet the service needs of
advertising agencies in all areas including print, media, newspaper, magazines
and outdoor. The Company believes the portal will differentiate itself from
future competitors due to the uniqueness of its service oriented subscriber
based inteleSource archiving system. The Company also anticipates that the
portal will generate revenues through advertising and pay per view content
specifically created for advertising agencies.
In connection with the development of the business to business portal,
the Company, in development with AT&T and Excalibur Technologies Corporation
("Excalibur"), announced the creation of inteleSource, a digital video archiving
and retrieval service designed specifically for global advertising agencies, the
Company's core customer. AT&T and Excalibur will provide web-based hosting,
connectivity and video content management technologies for the data-based
service and the Company will provide its relationships with advertising agencies
and its expertise in commercial production. The Company believes that there is a
great need for on-demand digital archiving and retrieval of video assets by
global advertising agencies and that the Company will be able to couple its
agency relationships with the AT&T infrastructure and the new Excalibur
architecture in order to manage video content over networks to take additional
steps in web-enabling its services. inteleSource is a web based digitized video
storage and retrieval service designed exclusively for use by global advertising
agencies and their clients. Utilizing Excalibur Screening Room technologies
powered by AT&T Labs technology, inteleSource encodes television commercials
with specific searchable criteria such as clients, products, directors,
producers, and creatives, empowering agencies and their clients to more
efficiently manage and retrieve assets from their extensive video libraries.
inteleSource provides an Internet solution to advertising agencies who
do not have a reliable or efficient manner to search their commercial video
library. Currently, advertising agencies collect and store the commercials
produced for their clients on 3/4 inch video tape. Because commercials are
stored on individual reels, the creative personnel do not have a system to
quickly review all the reels in their library by selected categories. Instead,
each reel would have to be viewed separately. inteleSource minimizes this
process to better serve the creative personnel's need to review past advertising
campaigns, specific director work or, for example, all the car commercials
produced by the agency. Additionally, inteleSource encodes and digitizes each
new commercial produced by the advertising agency and stores the commercial on
the agency's archive system. In addition to the
4
<PAGE> 6
need to archive commercials, webADTV intends to further develop the archiving
capabilities of the service to include agency specific programming. As an
example, the portal could utilize the system to archive various seminars, spots
of the week or interviews with various industry lumaries.
There can be no assurance that webADTV's business plan will be
completed or if completed, that the business plan will be successful.
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
The Company's primary business is the production of television
commercials, music videos and related media. The expertise, reputation and
creative vision of the commercial director roster and the ability of the Company
to deliver the commercial in an efficient manner defines the production
company's role. The Company's customers are typically advertising agencies
acting on behalf of a television advertiser.
The Company's marketing efforts have focused on national and
multi-national advertisers, national network commercials and higher budget
commercials. Nationally, the advertising and commercial production industry has
experienced an increase in the number of markets for television commercials.
Generally, the Company's budgeted price for a commercial ranges from $200,000 to
$400,000 and occasionally exceeds $1,000,000.
The Company's services are marketed by a staff of sales representatives
who seek out available commercial projects suitable for the Company's commercial
directors. These efforts are usually directed towards advertising agencies
located in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco,
Minneapolis and other regional markets.
Sales personnel hired by the Company work exclusively for the Company
out of offices located in Los Angeles and New York. The Company also employs
independent sales representatives on a select basis. The Company is seeking to
coordinate its sales efforts in a more efficient manner to enhance revenues.
To sell a commercial director's work, the sales staff uses the
commercial director's reel as its primary tool which contains samples of the
director's work demonstrating the director's creativity and experience. The
reels are continuously updated and provided to the advertising agencies who
generally act as the decision maker.
The Company also advertises in trade publications and has sponsored
agency events on an occasional basis to maintain visibility among advertisers
and advertising agencies and to publicize specific information such as additions
to the directorial roster, completion of a significant commercial, or the
recognition of awards and achievements.
The Company attracts and retains commercial directors by offering such
directors the opportunity to work in an organization with a highly effective
sales force and a high-quality staff of executive producers and support staff.
The Company offers directors the ability to work in an environment that fosters
creativity by relieving directors of the worry and burden of running a business
or financing the projects on which they work.
Ad agencies award jobs to commercial production companies with an
accompanying bid. The award bid contains all of the costs associated with that
particular commercial and is broken down into direct costs of production,
director's fees, insurance and the production company's fee. The production
company and producer of the commercial carefully monitor costs throughout the
filming process. The pre-approved bid is often altered during filming due to
agreed upon new creative options or unexpected occurrences such as inclement
weather. When this occurs, and the project costs exceed the original budget, the
increased cost is paid for by the agency and its client.
5
<PAGE> 7
In most circumstances, the Company bills the advertising agency for
33%-70% of the entire budget as stated in the bid, to be paid in advance or on
the first day of principal photography. The remainder of the contract price is
generally paid in one or more installments by the agency within 30 to 120 days
after completion of the principal photography. The accounts receivable write
offs have traditionally been less than 2% of all business.
A small percentage of the Company's business is derived from the
production of music videos. The production cycles for music videos is similar to
that of television commercials, but the budgets are generally smaller. The
client for the music videos is usually the record company or the performer
directly.
The television commercial production industry is a highly fragmented
multi-billion dollar industry, with most of the Company's competitors being
relatively small operations. The Company believes that its large director roster
with its range of creative ability, expertise and wide experience coupled with
the Company's reputation and advertising agency relationships, provide the
Company with a competitive edge in its current markets.
GENERAL OVERVIEW OF 1999 EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS
During 1999, the Company utilized its resources to purchase an
aggregate of 456,600 additional shares of common stock of Harmony at prices
ranging from $0.94 to $1.03 per share. Such purchases increased the Company's
ownership interest in Harmony, a company which produces television commercials,
music videos and related media, from 49.1% to 55.2%. For reporting purposes, the
Company consolidates Harmony's financial statements under the purchase method of
accounting for the acquisition of a majority interest in a subsidiary.
In January 1999, the Company completed the sale of the radio broadcast
licenses and certain other assets of its remaining three radio stations
KAHZ(AM), Dallas, KIDR(AM), Phoenix and WJDM(AM), New York to Radio Unica Corp.
The Company used a portion of the proceeds of that transaction to redeem all of
its 606,061 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which were issued in
June 1998. The preferred stock was redeemed at $4.04 per share, or $2.45
million. Upon the sale to Radio Unica Corp. the Company completed the exit from
its former business plan.
In February 1999, the Company incorporated a new subsidiary, Buffalo
Rome Films, Inc. ("Buffalo Rome") which will seek out independent film
opportunities. During 1999, the Company entered into an agreement regarding the
production of a picture entitled "True Rights" which was based on a screenplay
written by Meg Thayer. In exchange for providing certain financing of the
production, the Company acquired a one-third equity interest in the screenplay,
production of "True Rights" and any other material relating thereto. In
addition, the Company will receive a percentage of the net proceeds from the
distribution and exploitation of "True Rights" in all media and all sources
worldwide after the Company receives, the sum equal to 125% of its respective
contribution to the production of "True Rights." The Company's financing
obligation totaled $126,000 and was paid in full during the filming of the
project. The Company has no assurance as to the amount of return, if any, that
the investment will produce. Investment in independent films involves a high
degree of risk. As a result, the Company has limited its involvement in this
area.
In March 1999, the Company acquired Chelsea Pictures, Inc. ("Chelsea")
by merging it with Chelsea Acquisition, Inc., a newly formed subsidiary of the
Company with Chelsea as the surviving corporation. Chelsea engages in the
production of television commercials, independent films and related media. In
1999, Chelsea had revenues of approximately $16.7 million. In exchange for the
stock of Chelsea, the Company issued to Steve Wax, Chelsea's sole shareholder,
125,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock with an additional 75,000 shares to
be issued to Mr. Wax contingent upon Chelsea obtaining certain earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") levels. Subsequent to
the merger transaction, the Company repaid approximately $887,000 of Chelsea's
liabilities in existence at the time of the merger. Also, in connection with
this transaction, Chelsea entered into certain employment and commercial
production director agreements.
6
<PAGE> 8
In April 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of its common stock. The repurchases have
been made in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18, and are subject to the
availability of stock, trading price, market conditions and the Company's
financial performance. The repurchased shares are canceled and returned to the
Company's authorized capital stock. As of March 1, 2000, the Company had
repurchased an aggregate of 488,900 shares at prices ranging from $1.53 to $2.06
per share.
In June 1999, as part of its repositioning into the television
commercial production industry, the Company began doing business as
iNTELEFILM(sm) and changed its Nasdaq symbol from "AAHS" to "FILM." On September
30, 1999, the Company and Children's Radio of Kansas City, Inc., a subsidiary of
the Company, merged and in the process of the merger the Company changed its
name from Children's Broadcasting Corporation to iNTELEFILM Corporation.
Effective as of August 1, 1999, the Company purchased the Option and
Share Transfer Agreement ("Option Agreement") entered into by Harmony and the
four principal executives (collectively, "Curious Management") of Curious
Pictures Corporation ("Curious Pictures") dated December 15, 1996, from Curious
Management. Under the Option Agreement, Curious Management could earn the right
to purchase 50% of the outstanding stock of Curious Pictures from Harmony upon
the achievement of certain specified financial goals. Pursuant to the Company's
purchase agreement and based on the results of operations of Curious Pictures,
it was agreed by all parties that Curious Management's right to purchase the 50%
equity interest had fully vested and was exercisable for consideration totaling
$50. Following its purchase of the Option Agreement, the Company acquired 50% of
Curious Pictures through the exercise of stock options granted under the Option
Agreement. The Company also acquired a 1% equity interest in Curious Pictures
owned by Curious Management that was initially conveyed to Curious Management
upon signing the Option Agreement. The consideration paid to Curious Management
by the Company for the aforementioned acquisitions aggregated $3.0 million
consisting of $1.5 million in cash and $1.5 million note payable bearing an
interest rate of 8%, due May 31, 2000. The Company believes it has adequate
resources to satisfy the note payable. As a result of this transaction, the
Company currently owns 51% of the outstanding stock of Curious Pictures and
Harmony owns 49% of the outstanding stock of Curious Pictures.
In October 1999, the Company received payment in full on its $15.0
million note receivable from Catholic Radio Network ("CRN"). The Company
believes that with the sums received on this note, it should have adequate
capital to continue its acquisition strategy and business plan over the next 12
months.
SALE OF RADIO STATIONS ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO FORMER BUSINESS STRATEGY.
In January 1998, the shareholders initially approved a sale agreement
for all of the assets related to the Company's radio stations; however, this
sale was ultimately not closed by the seller. Management continued to pursue the
sale strategy, and in August 1998, the shareholders of the Company approved new
sales agreements for substantially all of the assets related to the Company's
radio stations. During the fall of 1998 and early 1999, the Company completed
the sale of all of its radio stations and exited its former business strategy.
TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS AND COPYRIGHTS

EMPLOYEES
The Company had 76 employees, including one part-time employee, at the
end of its last fiscal year. No employee is represented by a union. Some of the
Company's subsidiaries are signatory to several talent and collective bargaining
agreements related to the physical production of commercials. Personnel covered
by such agreements are hired on a freelance basis solely for a specific
production and do not have an employment relationship with the Company. The
Company believes its relations with employees are satisfactory. Also, see
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

cover any losses that may occur on such property.
ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 30, 1998, a jury in the United States District
Court for the District of Minnesota (the "Court") ruled in favor of the Company
in connection with litigation for breach of contract and misappropriation of
trade secrets that the Company had commenced against ABC/Disney and awarded the
Company $20 million for breach of contract against ABC Radio, $10 million for
misappropriation of trade secret by ABC Radio and $10 million for
misappropriation of trade secret against Disney. On January 15, 1999, the Court
upheld the jury's findings that ABC Radio had breached its contract with the
Company and that ABC/Disney both misappropriated the Company's trade secret
information, the Court disagreed with the jury's conclusion that the evidence
showed that those actions caused the Company's damages or that the amount of
damages awarded by the jury was supported by the evidence, and set aside the
jury's verdict. The Court further ruled that in the event that the decision is
reversed or remanded on appeal, that the defendants be granted a new trial on
the issues of causation and damages. The Company filed a Notice of Appeal in
February 1999. On February 16, 2000, the Company presented its oral argument to
the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Paul, Minnesota. As of March 28,
8

personnel and financial resources will be used.
Except as described above, the Company is not a party to any
material legal proceedings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
On January 6, 1998, the Company's shareholders approved the initial
sale agreements of all of the Company's owned and operated radio stations which
represents the measurement date for the Company's exit from the children's
entertainment and radio broadcasting industries. Accordingly, the operation and
disposition of the radio stations has been classified as discontinued operations
in the accompanying financial statements. The transition from the radio
broadcasting industry and effectively completed with the closing of the sale of
the Company's radio stations in January 1999.
The transition into the commercial production service industry occurred
with the Company's acquisition of a majority interest in Harmony, and Curious
Pictures, and a 100% interest in Chelsea. As a result of acquiring a majority
interest in Harmony and Curious Pictures, the Company began consolidating these
companies under the purchase method of accounting for the acquisition of
majority-owned subsidiaries. Harmony's results from operations are consolidated
for the period beginning April 1, 1999 (the "Consolidated Reporting Period").
Previous periods are accounted for under the equity method. Chelsea's operations
are consolidated for the period beginning March 1, 1999. Because of this
transition, a traditional "Management's Discussion and Analysis" comparison of
the changes in the revenue and expense categories from 1998 to 1999 would not be
meaningful. Accordingly, information detailing the origin of the production
revenues and expenses has been provided.
The Company had revenues of $67,242,000 in 1999 compared to no such
revenues in 1998. The Harmony production companies produced revenues of
$49,393,000 during the Consolidated Reporting Period while the Company's two
production companies added in the current year, Chelsea and Populuxe, provided
$17,849,000 of the 1999 revenues. Populuxe is a start-up production company. The
Company purchased and began operating Chelsea in March 1999. Chelsea currently
has a base of talent and directors from which to draw, but intends to continue
to build that base.
Cost of production is directly related to revenues and includes all
direct costs incurred in connection with the production of television
commercials including film, crews, location fees and commercial directors' fees.
Cost of production as a percentage of production contract revenues was 84%
during 1999. The Company believes the cost of production as a percentage of
revenues will decrease as its production companies retain more directors and
these directors become more established. Additionally, the Company believes it
will continue to realize greater cost benefits such as vendor discounts which
may lower the overall cost of production.
Selling expenses consist of sales commissions, advertising and
promotional expenses, travel and other expenses incurred in the securing of
television commercial contracts. Harmony's selling expenses were $1,987,000
during the Consolidated Reporting Period, while selling expenses at Chelsea and
Populuxe were $668,000 in 1999.
General and administrative expenses consist of overhead costs such as
office rent and expenses, executive, general and administrative payroll, and
related items. Harmony's general and administrative expenses were $4,881,000
during the Consolidated Reporting Period, while general and administrative
expenses at Chelsea and Populuxe were $2,186,000 in 1999.
Stock option compensation was $2,121,000 in 1999 and includes the
following: (i) $50,000 of expense related to options granted to members of the
Company's Board of Directors, (ii) $1,908,000 of expenses related to previously
existing options granted to Curious Management, and (iii) $163,000 of expense
related to current options granted to Curious Management.
11
<PAGE> 13
Corporate charges decreased $1,941,000 during 1999 from $5,614,000 in
1998 to $3,673,000 in 1999. During 1999 there was a decrease in litigation
expenses of $2,737,000 as the trial against ABC/Disney was concluded in the last
quarter of 1998. A less costly appeals process continues at this time. Corporate
charges, exclusive of the litigation expense, increased as general office
operation expense increased as well as the increase in acquisition activity.
Depreciation and amortization for the production and corporate
operations was $1,542,000 in 1999 compared to $8,000 in 1998. The Company
reported $675,000 of amortization expense during the Consolidated Reporting
Period related to the excess of the investment cost over the value of the
underlying net assets (goodwill) of Harmony. Prior to the Company obtaining a
majority interest in Harmony, this expense was reported as a portion of the
equity loss in Harmony.
In the third quarter of 1999, a gain of $120,000 was realized related
to the sale of 90% of the common stock of The End (London), a previously
consolidated subsidiary of Harmony.
Interest income for 1999 was $1,555,000 compared to $300,000 in 1998.
This increase of $1,255,000 was due primarily to interest earned through October
1999 from the $15,000,000 note receivable due from CRN and the interest earned
from the advances made to Harmony prior to the Consolidated Reporting Period.
Interest expense decreased $4,336,000 from $5,485,000 in 1998 to $1,149,000 in
1999. This decrease in interest expense resulted from the payoff of the majority
of the Company's debt in existence at the time of the radio station sales in
October 1998 and January 1999.
Income tax benefits of $700,000 and $4,000,000 were realized from
continuing operations in 1999 and 1998, respectively. These income tax benefits
were derived from the ability to offset the taxable loss from operations against
the sale of discontinued operations.
Net loss from continuing operations of $7,010,000 was realized in 1999
compared to a net loss from continuing operations in 1998 of $10,948,000.
During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company
recognized gains on the disposal of discontinued operations of $14,349,000 and
$18,518,000, respectively. These overall gains include losses from discontinued
operations of $113,000 and $3,527,000 on revenues of $100,000 and $2,567,000,
respectively, and a tax provision of $1,802,000 and $4,330,000, respectively.
This represents taxes estimated to be due as a result of the sale of the radio
stations.
Net income of $7,340,000 and $6,890,000 was realized in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity, as measured by its working capital, was
$9,863,000 at December 31, 1999, compared to a deficit of $5,507,000 at December
31, 1998. This increase in working capital was due to the sale of three radio
stations to Radio Unica, the payoff of related debt, and the receipt of
$15,000,000 upon payment of the note receivable from CRN.
In January 1999, the Company closed on the sale of the radio broadcast
licenses and certain other assets of its radio stations KAHZ(AM), Dallas,
KIDR(AM), Phoenix, and WJDM(AM), New York to Radio Unica. The Company received
gross proceeds of $29,250,000 for the stations' assets which had a net book
value of approximately $11,304,000 at the time of the sale. The Company
recognized approximately $1,682,000 in transaction costs, including bonuses paid
to management, employees and Media Management, LLC, recorded a tax provision of
$1,102,000, and paid off all but $981,000 of its debt outstanding at the time of
closing. The following is a description of the non-operational use of the
proceeds, net of debt repayments, from the Radio Unica transaction:
- The Company redeemed 606,061 shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock which were issued in June 1998 for an
aggregate of $2,450,000.
12
<PAGE> 14
- The Company advanced Harmony $3,290,000 in cash payments to
unsecured note receivable agreements which are due on demand
and bear an interest rate of 14%. As of December 31, 1999,
approximately $3,326,000 (including interest) was outstanding.
These notes as well as the related interest are eliminated in
the Company's consolidation of Harmony for periods after April
1, 1999.
- The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common
stock of Chelsea for $1,135,000, representing 125,000 shares
of common stock with a value of $250,000 and the assumption of
approximately $885,000 of liabilities net of assets.
- The Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 500,000 additional shares of its common stock. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of
488,900 shares for an aggregate of approximately $918,000 at
prices ranging from $1.53 to $2.06.
- The Company purchased 51% of Curious Pictures, a commercial
production company, from Curious Management for $1,500,000 in
cash and $1,500,000 pursuant to a promissory note bearing 8%
interest, due May 31, 2000. Curious Pictures was a
majority-owned subsidiary of Harmony, which now owns 49% of
Curious Pictures.
In October 1999, the Company received payment in full on its
$15,000,000 note receivable due from CRN. Management believes that with this
replenishment of working capital (of which $9,863,000 remained available at
December 31, 1999) as the foundation of its acquisition capital, the Company
should have adequate capital to meet its ongoing working capital needs and
continue its new business plan and acquisition strategy in the near term.
Anticipated uses of cash in the near term include payment of the accrued radio
station income tax liability of $1,033,000 and payment of the short-term note
payable of $1,500,000 due to Curious Management in March and May 2000,
respectively. Additionally, the Company intends to further replenish its
acquisition capital by replacing the operating line of credit in existence at
December 31, 1999. This line of credit had outstanding borrowings of $3,549,000
at December 31, 1999, which have subsequently been repaid in full pursuant to
the lender's call of the debt. Such a line will provide working capital for the
Company's existing divisions which it currently finances internally. However,
should a potential acquisition require greater capital than the Company's cash
sources, the Company may need to obtain additional financing. If the Company is
not able to obtain adequate financing, or financing on acceptable terms, it
could possibly cause a delay in the implementation of its full business plan.
The Company began executing its business plan to acquire production
companies with the acquisition of Chelsea in March 1999, a majority interest in
Harmony in April 1999, and the acquisition of 51% of Curious Pictures in August
1999. The Company intends to further expand its television commercial production
business and holdings through acquisitions and opportunities within its present
divisions. The Company seeks to explore the consolidation of commercial
production companies in an effort to increase its commercial production director
pool. In addition, the Company intends to acquire production service companies,
such as rental, editing, design/marketing, post-production and music companies.
The Company believes that gross revenues and profits can be increased through
the acquisition of private production companies and related service companies.
In January 2000, the Company continued the implementation of its
business plan through the incorporation of webADTV, a subsidiary of the Company
which will combine the digital archiving and retrieval service, inteleSource
with additional web enabled services, news, and information under development to
the global advertising industries and their clientele. webADTV currently seeks
to expand and brand its infrastructure to include numerous in-demand vertical
services such as research, media planning and buying, competitive monitoring,
video and print delivery and the services of agency business partners. In
addition, webADTV intends to create useful e-commerce based affiliates and
establish carriage relationships with recognized advertising industry news and
information content providers. There can be no assurance that webADTV's business
plan will
13
<PAGE> 15
be completed, or if completed, that the business plan will be successful. In
February 2000, webADTV granted the right to purchase approximately 3,330,500
shares of webADTV common stock to various individuals. If all options were
exercised, the Company's ownership in webADTV would be diluted to 84%.
In November 1999, two of the principal officers of The End, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Harmony, resigned. Under their agreements with The End,
certain of the commercial directors of The End now have the right to terminate
their agreement with The End. To date, one of The End's commercial directors has
exercised his right to terminate his agreement and ended his exclusive
representation by The End. The departure of the two principal executives and of
the one commercial director, have not, to date, had any material impact on The
End's revenues. During the Consolidated Reporting Period, The End produced
revenues of $18,487,000 and an operating loss of $601,000. No assurance can be
given that these departures will not cause further negative impact on operations
or financial performance of The End. The impact of the departure of the
foregoing individuals of The End on the Company's liquidity and profits/losses
is not currently ascertainable; however, it has reduced The End's overhead.
Consolidated cash was $15,986,000 at December 31, 1999 and $254,000 at
December 31, 1998, an increase of $15,732,000.
Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations during
1999 was $4,344,000 and the operating cash flows reflected are net of account
increases occurring as a result of acquisitions. Accounts receivable at December
31, 1999 increased $2,760,000 from December 31, 1998, other receivables at
December 31, 1999, decreased $307,000 and prepaid expenses at December 31, 1999
increased $326,000 during that same time period. Accounts payable at December
31, 1999, decreased $1,785,000 from December 31, 1998, accrued expenses at
December 31, 1999 increased $571,000 from December 31, 1998, and deferred income
increased $950,000 during the same period.
During 1999, net cash obtained through investing activities was
$23,289,000 and was provided primarily by the sale of the radio stations to
Radio Unica net of proceeds utilized for the direct payment of outstanding debt.
Prior to the April 1, 1999, consolidation of Harmony's financial statements,
advances to Harmony under note receivable agreements were $2,986,000 net of
Harmony's repayments. Proceeds from the sale of radio stations totaled
$29,045,000, net of advance payments received prior to December 31, 1998.
Cash used in financing activities amounted to $1,884,000 during 1999.
This represents the redemption of the convertible preferred stock for
$2,448,000, the repurchase of the Company's common stock of $931,000, less the
increased borrowings under Harmony's line of credit.
Cash used in discontinued operations was $1,329,000.
SEASONALITY AND INFLATION
The Company does not believe that seasonality or inflation has affected
the results of its operations, and does not anticipate that inflation will have
an impact on its future operations.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
Before the rollover of the year from 1999 to 2000, many installed
computer systems and software products were coded to accept only two digit date
entries and were unable to accept four digit date entries to distinguish 21st
century dates from the 20th century dates. As a result, computer systems and
software used by many companies prior to the rollover date required upgrading or
replacement to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. The failure of the
Company, its vendors, suppliers or other critical third parties with whom the
Company conducts business to achieve Year 2000 compliance on a timely basis
could materially adversely affect the Company's business, operating results, and
financial condition.
As of March 1, 2000, the Company has not experienced and does not
anticipate any material adverse effects on its production equipment, systems or
operations as a result of Year 2000 issues. Business is continuing as usual, and
internal equipment and systems will continue to be monitored for any likely
disruptions. Further, as
14
<PAGE> 16
of March 1, 2000, the Company has not experienced any operational difficulties
as a result of Year 2000 issues with its vendors, suppliers or other critical
third parties with whom the Company conducts business. However, Year 2000
compliance has many elements and potential consequences, some of which may not
be foreseeable or may be realized in future periods. Consequently, there can be
no assurance that unforeseen circumstances may not arise, or that the Company
will not in the future identify equipment or systems which are not Year 2000
compliant.
Although the transition to the Year 2000 did not have any significant
impact on the Company or its equipment, systems and operations, the Company will
continue to monitor the impact of the Year 2000 on its equipment and systems and
those of its vendors, suppliers and other critical third parties. The
contingency plans that were developed for use in the event of Year 2000-related
failures will be maintained and generalized for ongoing business use.
In the aggregate, the Company has spent approximately $8,000 to address
Year 2000 issues and does not anticipate spending any additional material
amounts relating to Year 2000 issues.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133) issued by the FASB is
effective for financial statements with fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize all
derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to
measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be
specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the
timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the
recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or
liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect
of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a
hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of
change.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivative contracts
either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the
Company does not expect adoption of the new standard to affect its financial
statements.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
OUR VENTURE INTO TELEVISION COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION MAY NOT PROVE
ADVANTAGEOUS OR PROFITABLE. We have changed our business focus from the
programming of children's radio to the production of television commercials and
related media. Although we believe favorable opportunities exist in the
television commercial production industry, the industry is highly fragmented and
we cannot assure you that we will be successful in completing our revised
business plan, or if completed, that the revised business plan will be
advantageous or profitable. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not
try to consolidate commercial production companies and production service
companies. We cannot assure you that consolidation, if it occurs, will be
advantageous or profitable. We do not have any understandings, commitments or
agreements with respect to any future acquisitions or that any acquisitions, if
consummated, will be advantageous or profitable.
WE MAY LOSE MONEY ON OUR INVESTMENT IN HARMONY AND HAVE LITTLE ABILITY
TO CUT POTENTIAL LOSSES DUE TO THE ILLIQUID NATURE OF HARMONY'S STOCK. As of
March 1, 2000, we had invested approximately $9.7 million in purchasing Harmony
common stock and had advances receivable from Harmony and Curious Pictures of
approximately $3.7 million in cash. The excess of our investment in Harmony's
common stock over Harmony's net book value is primarily reflected as goodwill on
our consolidated balance sheet. Our advances to Harmony are eliminated through
financial statement consolidation for reporting purposes. Over the last year,
Harmony shut down Harmony Pictures, Inc. and sold 90% of The End (London). Ltd.,
each a former subsidiary, due to continued losses. In February 1999, Harmony's
common stock was removed from listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and
currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. Until such time as Harmony receives
a new working line of
15
<PAGE> 17
credit, we have agreed to act as Harmony's lender and fund Harmony's operations
as necessary. At this time, we receive no additional compensation for providing
such lending services to Harmony. There can be no assurance that the notes
receivable will be repaid or that our investment in Harmony will not lose value
or that we will be able to dispose of our Harmony common stock should we decide
to do so.
WEBADTV.COM, INC. MAY BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT ITS BUSINESS PLAN. In
January 2000, we announced the formation of webADTV, a subsidiary which will
combine the digital archiving and retrieval service, inteleSource with
additional web enabled services, news, and information under development to the
global advertising industries and their clientele. webADTV seeks private
placement financing in order to expand and brand its infrastructure to include
numerous in-demand vertical services such as research, media planning and
buying, competitive monitoring, video and print delivery and the services of
agency business partners. As a result of such financing, our equity ownership in
webADTV may decrease. In addition, there can be no assurance that webADTV will
be successful in obtaining such financing or if obtained, such financing will be
sufficient to implement its business plan. Further, there can be no assurance
that webADTV's business plan will be completed or if completed, that the
business plan will be successful.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL TELEVISION COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION
COMPANIES OR PRODUCTION SERVICE COMPANIES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FINANCING. The
availability of capital may impact our ability to consummate future acquisitions
as we try to consolidate commercial production companies and production service
companies. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such financing when
required, or if available, that the amount or terms of such financing would be
acceptable or favorable to us. Additional financing could require the sale of
equity securities, which could result in significant dilution to our
shareholders.
TELEVISION COMMERCIAL DIRECTORS AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL COULD LEAVE US,
IMPAIRING OUR DEVELOPMENT AND PROFITABILITY. The television commercial
production business is driven by its personnel and creative talent. We recognize
that a major part of our success in this industry will depend upon the hiring
and continued engagement or employment of our directors and other key personnel.
To this end, we have entered into various director and employment agreements
which range from two to five years in length. However, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to retain such talent, nor that such directors and
employees will fulfill their obligations to us nor that they will seek renewal
at the end of their current agreements. In general, with one exception, we do
not maintain life insurance on any of our television commercial directors or
other key personnel.
WE MAY LOSE OUR APPEAL AGAINST ABC/DISNEY. On September 30, 1998, a
jury in the Court ruled in our favor in connection with litigation for breach of
contract and misappropriation of trade secrets that we had commenced against
ABC/Disney and awarded us $20 million for breach of contract against ABC Radio,
$10 million for misappropriation of trade secret by ABC Radio and $10 million
for misappropriation of trade secret against Disney. On January 15, 1999, the
Court upheld the jury's findings that ABC Radio had breached its contract with
us and that ABC/Disney both misappropriated our trade secret information,
however, the Court disagreed with the jury's conclusion that the evidence showed
that those actions caused damages to us or that the amount of damages awarded by
the jury was supported by the evidence, and set aside the jury's verdict. The
Court further ruled that in the event that the decision is reversed or remanded
on appeal, that the defendants be granted a new trial on the issues of causation
and damages. We filed a Notice of Appeal in February 1999. On February 16, 2000,
we presented our oral argument to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. As of March
28 2000, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals had not ruled on the appeal. We intend
to pursue our appeal of the judgment and to this end, certain personnel and
financial resources will be used. We cannot assure you that we will be
successful on our appeal.
OUR STOCK IS THINLY TRADED, CREATING POSSIBLE LIQUIDITY PROBLEMS FOR
SHAREHOLDERS WHO SEEK TO SELL. Our common stock is currently listed on the
Nasdaq National Market. We cannot assure you our common stock will ever be
actively traded on such market or that, if active trading does develop, it will
be sustained.
16
<PAGE> 18
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE. The market price of our Common Stock
has been subject to significant fluctuations in response to numerous factors,
including variations in the annual or quarterly financial results, changes by
financial research analysts in their estimates of our earnings, conditions in
the economy in general or in the television commercial production industry in
particular, unfavorable publicity or changes in applicable laws and regulations
(or judicial or administrative interpretations thereof) affecting us or the
television commercial production industry. During 1999, the market price of our
Common Stock ranged from a high of $5.25 on December 8, 1999, to a low of $1.50
on May 28, 1999. We cannot assure you that purchasers of our common stock will
be able to sell such stock at or above the prices at which it was purchased.
THE SALE OF OUR STOCK MAY CAUSE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK TO FALL.
We had 6,388,966 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 1, 2000, and we
also had warrants and options outstanding to purchase additional Common Stock
totaling 3,450,616 common shares exercisable at prices ranging from $1.63 to
$13.00 per share. The sale of such shares and the sale of additional Common
Stock which may become eligible for sale in the public market from time to time
upon exercise of warrants and stock options could have the effect of depressing
the market price for our Common Stock.
WE DEPEND ON MANAGEMENT SERVICES RENDERED BY AN ENTITY WHICH MAY FAVOR
ITS OWN INTERESTS OVER OURS. We share with Harmony certain management services
provided by MMLLC which is owned by Messrs. Dahl and Perkins, each our director
and a director of Harmony. The management services consist of administrative,
legal and accounting services. Such arrangements may present conflicts of
interest in connection with the pricing of services provided.
OUR MANAGEMENT HAS THE ABILITY TO SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF
SHAREHOLDER VOTING, INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY OF TAKING ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE
PREFERENCES OF SHAREHOLDERS AT LARGE. As of March 1, 2000, approximately 24.8%
of our outstanding Common Stock was beneficially owned by our current executive
officers and directors. Accordingly, such persons may be able to significantly
influence our business and affairs. This concentration of ownership may have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
THE EXISTENCE OF OUR SEVERANCE PLAN MAY PREVENT A CHANGE IN CONTROL OR
A LIQUIDATION OF OUR ASSETS. We adopted a severance plan which provides
significant benefits to two executive officers and one non-employee director
following a change in control. Christopher T. Dahl, our Chief Executive Officer,
President and Chairman of the Board, James G. Gilbertson, our Chief Operating
Officer, and Richard W. Perkins, one of our directors, are eligible to receive
lump sum severance payments under the plan. Based upon 1999 annual gross base
salaries, the plan participants would receive an aggregate of approximately $2.0
million following a change in control The plan also provides for accelerated
vesting of outstanding options and other benefits following a change in control.
The existence of our severance plan could deter or delay a takeover or other
change in control.
OUR ABILITY TO ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK MAY PREVENT A CHANGE OF CONTROL.
The Board of Directors, without any action by our shareholders, has the
authority to issue the remaining undesignated and unissued authorized shares and
to fix the powers, preferences, rights and limitations of such shares or any
class or series thereof, without shareholder approval. Persons acquiring such
shares could have preferential rights with respect to voting, liquidation,
dissolution or dividends over existing shareholders. We are subject to certain
provisions of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act which limit the voting
rights of shares acquired in "control share acquisitions" and restrict certain
"business combinations." Such provisions, as well as the ability to issue
undesignated shares, could have the effect of deterring or delaying a takeover
or other change in control, deny shareholders the receipt of a premium on their
Common Stock and depress the market price of our Common Stock.
OUR ABILITY TO DILUTE UNFRIENDLY POTENTIAL ACQUIRORS MAY PREVENT A
CHANGE IN CONTROL. On February 14, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a
dividend of one common share purchase right (a "Right") for each share of our
Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on February 27, 1998. Each
Right will entitle the registered holder to purchase from us, after the
Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement),
17
<PAGE> 19
common shares at an initial price of $18.00. The Rights have certain
anti-takeover effects. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or
group that attempts to acquire us without conditioning the offer on a
substantial number of Rights being acquired or redeemed. The Rights should not
interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board of
Directors since the Board of Directors may, at its option and in its sole and
absolute discretion, redeem the Rights as provided in the Rights Agreement.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS. As of
March 1, 2000, we have not experienced and do not anticipate any material
adverse effects on our equipment, systems and operations as a result of Year
2000 issues. However, our failure, or the failure of our vendors, suppliers or
other critical third parties with whom we conduct business to achieve Year 2000
compliance on a timely basis could materially adversely affect our business,
operating results and financial condition.

statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's

INTELEFILM CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business:
iNTELEFILM Corporation (f/k/a Children's Broadcasting
Corporation) (the "Company") was incorporated under the
Minnesota Business Corporation Act on February 7, 1990.
Through a series of transactions, the Company believes it
has become the largest producer of television commercials in
the world. During the period from July 1997 through December
1999, the Company has utilized its resources to purchase a
55.2% ownership interest in Harmony Holdings, Inc.
("Harmony"), a corporation which produces television
commercials, music videos and related media. Further, in
April 1999, the Company became Harmony's majority
shareholder and began consolidating Harmony rather than
accounting for Harmony under the equity method.
Additionally, in August 1999, the Company acquired a
majority ownership interest in Curious Pictures Corporation
("Curious Pictures") by buying an existing option and share
transfer agreement from four principle executives ("Curious
Management") of Curious Pictures. As a result, Curious
Pictures, a former majority-owned subsidiary of Harmony,
became a direct subsidiary of the Company. The Company
typically directs its services towards large advertisers and
advertising agencies located in the major markets of New
York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco
and Minneapolis. In March 1999 the Company acquired Chelsea
Pictures, Inc. ("Chelsea"), which has offices in New York
and Hollywood. Chelsea produces television commercials,
independent films and related media.
The Company intends to further expand its television
commercial production business and holdings through
acquisitions and opportunities within its present divisions.
The Company seeks to explore the consolidation of commercial
production companies in an effort to increase its commercial
production director pool. In addition, the Company intends
to acquire production service companies, such as rental,
editing, design/marketing, post-production and music
companies. The Company believes that gross revenues and
profits can be increased through the acquisition of private
production companies and related service companies.
In 1999 and 1998, the Company also incorporated the
following new subsidiaries: Buffalo Rome Films, Inc. and
Populuxe Pictures, Inc. ("Populuxe"). Buffalo Rome Films,
Inc. seeks out independent film opportunities and Populuxe
produces television commercials with two directors and an
executive staff in New York.
In December 1999, the Company, in development with AT&T and
Excalibur Technologies Corporation ("Excalibur"), announced
the creation of inteleSource, a digital video archiving and
retrieval service designed specifically for global
advertising agencies, the Company's core customer. AT&T and
Excalibur will provide dynamic hosting, connectivity and
video content management technologies for the data-based
service and the Company will provide its relationships with
advertising agencies and its expertise in commercial
production. inteleSource is an Internet based digitized
video storage and retrieval service designed exclusively for
use by global advertising agencies and their clients.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Description of Business (Continued):
In January 2000, the Company incorporated webADTV.com,
Inc. ("webADTV"). webADTV will provide a complete web
based source of communications, commerce, solutions and
services to the advertising agencies and other companies
in the advertising campaign production industry.
Initially, the Company's inteleSource will be the core of
webADTV. With inteleSource, webADTV will build a full
business to business portal for the advertising agency
industry which will include news and information from
affiliate content providers, e-commerce business generated
from a wide range of affiliated design and production
sources and the subscription based inteleSource archiving
and retrieval service. The Company also anticipates that
the portal will generate revenues through advertising and
pay per view content, specifically created for advertising
agencies.
In addition, webADTV intends to create useful, e-commerce
based affiliates and establish carriage relationships with
recognized advertising industry news and information
content providers.
As Children's Broadcasting Corporation, the Company
broadcast 24-hour children's radio programming, known as
Aahs World RadioSM*, via satellite to markets representing
approximately 40% of the U.S. population. Pursuant to its
former growth strategy, the Company acquired AM radio
broadcast licenses ("Radio Stations") in 14 U.S. markets.
On November 3, 1997, the Company announced that it would
terminate its network affiliation agreements and cease
distributing its full-time Aahs World Radio programming
format effective January 30, 1998. In 1998, the Company
focused on the process of selling its previously acquired
radio stations. The last of its radio stations were sold
on January 14, 1999.
Consolidated Financial Statements:
The financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All
references to the Company in these financial statements
relate to the consolidated entity. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.
Property, Equipment and Intangible Assets:
Property, equipment and intangible assets are stated at
cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the
straight-line method and are charged to expense based upon

Long Lived Assets:
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance
with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed
of". The standard establishes guidelines regarding when
impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include
property and equipment, certain identifiable intangible
assets and goodwill, should be recognized and how
impairment losses should be measured. The Company
evaluates the existence of long-lived asset impairment on
the basis of whether the asset net book value is fully
recoverable from projected, undiscounted net cash flows of
the related business unit. This standard did not have an
impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Investment in Harmony:
Prior to the Company becoming the majority shareholder of
Harmony, the investment in Harmony (Note 4) was accounted
for under the equity method of accounting. The equity
method of accounting is used to account for investments
made when the Company has the ability to exercise
significant influence over the operating and financial
policies of an investee, generally involving a 20% to 50%
interest in those investees.
Under the equity method, original investments are recorded
at cost, increased for subsequent investments in and
advances to the investee, and adjusted for the Company's
share of undistributed earnings and losses of the
investee. Additionally, the excess of the Company's
prorata share of the investee's net assets is amortized
over the estimated useful life of the underlying assets.
Goodwill:
Goodwill primarily represents the excess of the Company's
purchase price, including additional payments over the
fair market value of Harmony, Chelsea and Curious Pictures
net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill has been
amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years for
all periods.
Revenues:
The Company produces television commercials and music
videos under firm bid, cost plus or cost plus fixed fee
contracts, which are typically less than one month in
duration. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had
no long-term contracts. Contract revenues are recognized
using the percentage of completion method. The percentage
of contract revenues recognized is computed at that
percentage of estimated total revenues that incurred costs
to date bears to total estimated costs, after giving
effect to the most recent estimate of costs to complete.
Revisions in costs and revenue estimates are reflected in
the period in which the facts which require the revision
become known. Deferred income represents amounts billed in
excess of revenues earned.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Net Income (Loss) Per Share:
In February 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("EPS").
SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic EPS and
diluted EPS on the face of all income statements issued
after December 15, 1997 for all entities with complex
capital structures. Basic EPS is computed as net income
available to common shareholders divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur from common shares issuable through stock
options and warrants. Outstanding options and warrants to
purchase 3,577,718 and 3,197,317 shares of the Company's
common stock at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
were not included in the diluted EPS calculation as they
were antidilutive. For 1999 and 1998 the Company's basic
and diluted EPS were the same as the effect of all
outstanding options and warrants were antidilutive.
Additionally, the Company's preferred stock outstanding at
December 31, 1998 was not included in the computation of
diluted EPS as its effect would be antidilutive.
Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability
method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary
differences between financial reporting and tax basis.
Stock Based Compensation:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123),
establishes a fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans and for transactions in
which a company acquires goods or services from
non-employees in exchange for equity instruments. SFAS 123
also gives the option to account for stock-based employee
compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock
issued to Employees," or SFAS 123. The Company has chosen
to account for stock-based compensation utilizing the
intrinsic value method prescribed in APB 25. Accordingly,
compensation cost for stock options is measured as the
excess, if any, of the fair market price of the Company's
stock at the measurement date over the amount an employee
must pay to acquire stock.
If SFAS 123 is not adopted related to stock-based employee
compensation, SFAS 123 for footnote purposes requires that
companies measure the cost of stock-based employee
compensation at the grant date based on the value of the
award and recognize this cost over the service period. The
value of the stock-based award is determined using a
pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess of
the fair value of the stock as determined by the model at
grant date or other measurement date over the amount an
employee must pay to acquire the stock.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Concentration of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company
to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of
cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company
invests available cash in money market securities of high
credit quality financial institutions. The Company's
accounts receivable were from customers primarily in the
advertising industry. To reduce credit risk, the Company
performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, but
does not generally require advance payments or collateral.
Credit losses to customers operating in the advertising
industry have not been material.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Comprehensive Income:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" as of
January 1, 1998. The Company does not have any components
of comprehensive income.
Segment Information:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" as of January 1, 1998.
Following the provisions of this Statement, the Company is
reporting segment assets, liabilities, sales and operating
income in the same format reviewed by the Company's
management. In 1999 and 1998, the Company transitioned into
the commercial production and related media business.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
Statement of Financial Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No.
133) issued by the FASB is effective for financial
statements with fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 requires companies to
recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at
fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative
may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective
of which is to match the timing of gain or loss
recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition
of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset
or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or
(ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted
transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging
instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in
the period of change.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivative
contracts either to hedge existing risks or for
speculative purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not
expect adoption of the new standard to affect its
financial statements.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation. These
reclassifications have no effect on the accumulated
deficit or net loss previously reported.
In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30,
"Reporting the Results of Operations - Discontinued Events
and Extraordinary Items" (ABP 30), certain
reclassifications have been made to the previously
reported 1999 financial statements to reflect the
disposition of the radio stations as a discontinued
operations.
NOTE 2: ASSET AND SUBSIDIARY STOCK SALE TRANSACTIONS
Radio Station Sale Transaction:
On January 6, 1998, the Company's shareholders approved the
sale of all of the Company's owned and operated radio
stations which represents the measurement date for the
Company's exit from the children's entertainment and radio
broadcasting industries. Accordingly, the operations and
disposition of the radio stations has been classified as
discontinued operations in the accompanying financial
statements. During the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, the Company recognized gains on the disposal of
discontinued operations of $14,349,233 and $18,517,964,
respectively. These overall gains include losses from
discontinued operations of $113,183 and $3,526,703 on
revenues of $100,279 and $2,566,647, respectively, and a
tax provision of $1,802,000 and $4,330,000, respectively.
The basic and diluted income per share related to the gain
from the disposal of discontinued operations was $2.26 and
$2.77 in 1999 and 1998, respectively:

NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS
Chelsea Pictures:
On March 4, 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued
and outstanding common stock of Chelsea Pictures, Inc.
("Chelsea") for 125,000 shares of common stock with a value
of $250,000 and the assumption of approximately $885,441 of
liabilities net of assets. Chelsea is a television
commercial production company with principal operations in
New York, New York. The acquisition has been accounted for
as a purchase, whereby, the purchase price and related
acquisition expenses incurred of $250,382 were allocated
based upon the fair market value of the assets purchased
and liabilities assumed, consisting of goodwill of
$1,385,823, current accrued liabilities of $1,163,584 and
current assets of $278,143. Additionally, consideration for
the transaction may consist of up to an aggregate of
200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, 125,000 of
these shares were issued on the acquisition date. Issuance
of the remaining shares is contingent upon the level of
Chelsea's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) in the first year following the
acquisition. If Chelsea achieves EBITDA within a range of
$0 - $410,000, the previous owner will receive a
proportionate number of shares up to a maximum of 50,000
shares. If Chelsea achieves EBITDA in excess of $500,000,
an additional 25,000 shares will be issued. The value of
the remaining shares will be treated as an adjustment to
the purchase price upon issuance.
Curious Pictures:

Option and Share Transfer Agreement ("Option Agreement")
entered into by Harmony and the four principal executives
(collectively, "Curious Management") of Curious Pictures

Company's purchase agreement and based on the results of
operations of Curious Pictures, it was agreed by all
parties that Curious Management's rights to purchase the
50% equity interest in Curious Pictures had fully vested
and were exercisable for consideration totaling $50. As a
result of the intrinsic value established by interim
valuations of Curious Pictures and the Company's purchase

NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
Curious Pictures (Continued):
Following its purchase of the Option Agreement, the Company
acquired 50% of Curious Pictures through the exercise of
stock options granted under the Option Agreement. The
Company also acquired a 1% equity interest in Curious
Pictures owned by Curious Management that was initially
conveyed to Curious Management upon signing the Option
Agreement. The consideration paid to Curious Management by
the Company for the aforementioned acquisitions aggregated
$3,000,000 consisting of $1,500,000 in cash and a
$1,500,000 note payable bearing an interest rate of 8%, due
May 31, 2000. As a result of the aforementioned
transaction, the Company owns 51% of the outstanding stock
of Curious Pictures and Harmony owns 49% of the outstanding
stock of Curious Pictures.
In addition, as of January 1, 1999, Curious Pictures
entered into new five-year employment agreements with each
of the four members of Curious Management. As part of the
compensation to be paid to Curious Management, at the end
of each employment year, each member of Curious Management
was granted the right to purchase from Harmony, one share
of Curious Pictures at a price of $1.00 per share,
representing 1% of the capital stock of Curious Pictures.
As a result, if all of the members of Curious Management
exercise all of their new options over the five-year term
of their employment agreements, the Company will own 51% of
the Curious Pictures stock, Curious Management will
collectively own 20%, and Harmony will own the remaining
29%. Additionally, the Company granted Curious Management
warrants to purchase an aggregate 300,000 shares of the
Company's common stock for approximately $1.92 per share.
The Company, Harmony, and Curious Management also entered
into a Stock Agreement effective as of August 1, 1999.
Under this agreement, the members of Curious Management
were granted the right to sell to the Company the shares of
Curious Pictures that they earn from Harmony (the put
right), and the Company obtained the right to purchase such
shares from Curious Management (the call right). The price
to be paid by the Company to Curious Management under the
put or call is $96,774 per share. These options have been
valued at their intrinsic value as of August 1, 1999
($54,000 per option). The related compensation expense will
be recognized ratably over the employment agreement service
period and reflected as a minority interest on the
Company's balance sheet. Further, the minority interest
will be ratably accreted to the value of management's put
right ($96,774 per share) over the time period from the
option vesting date to the date that the put right may be
exercised. During the six month period ended December 31,
1999, the Company recognized compensation expense of
$162,774. The minority interest valuation aggregated
$139,447 at December 31, 1999.
NOTE 4: INVESTMENT IN AND NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM HARMONY
The Company's investment represents 55.2% and 49.1% of the
outstanding common stock of Harmony at December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. The aggregate purchase price paid of
$9,730,872 and transaction costs totaling $93,201 were
allocated based on the estimated fair market value of the
assets acquired consisting of common stock of $9,140,872 and
stock options valued at $590,000. With this increase of
ownership, the Company began to consolidate Harmony results

operations on April 1, 1999. All periods prior to this date
were accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, the
excess of the purchase price over the Company's pro-rata share
of Harmony's net tangible assets discussed below was recast
from the investment in Harmony to Goodwill based on the
estimated fair market value of Harmony's assets.
The excess of the purchase price over the Company's prorata
share of Harmony's net tangible assets totaled $6,810,877 and
$6,245,996 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This
excess purchase price relates to Harmony's intangible asset
value, principally technical know-how, industry reputation and
customer lists, and is being amortized on a straight line
basis over a seven-year estimated useful life. At December 31,
1999 and 1998, accumulated amortization of the excess purchase
price totaled $1,752,998 and $871,552, respectively.
The following schedule represents the Company's equity

The June 1998 stock option exercise at $1.50 per share and the
July 1998 purchase of outstanding common stock required
consideration totaling $1,557,500 in cash obtained through the
Company's issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock
(Note 11). Consideration for the November 1998 stock
acquisitions of 269,231 newly issued shares and of 225,000
outstanding shares of common stock totaled $968,750 in cash
obtained in through the Company's sale of its radio stations
(Note 2).
The November 1998 purchases of 225,000 outstanding shares
occurred pursuant to an outstanding put option exercised by
the seller in February 1998. The put option required that the
Company purchase the shares for $2.50 per share by March 31,
1998. As the Company did not have the current financial
resources to meet this obligation by March 31, 1998, the
Company assigned the put option to two entities controlled by
a director, and another director individually (the "assigned
parties"). The assigned parties consummated the purchase of
shares required by the initial put and were granted a similar
option to put the shares to the Company at a price of $2.75
per share. The new put option was exercisable upon the
completion of the CRN sale transaction which occurred in
October 1998 (Note 2).

NOTE 4: INVESTMENT IN AND NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM HARMONY (CONTINUED)
Consideration for the April through June 1999 purchases of
456,600 outstanding shares totaled $465,472 in cash obtained
through the Company's sale of its radio stations (Note 2).
These purchases increase the Company's ownership in Harmony to
approximately 55.2%, and this additional ownership allows the
Company to consolidate Harmony, for financial statement
purposes, as of April 1, 1999, rather than accounting for the
investment under the equity method as it has for all previous
periods presented. No minority interest is currently shown
related to Harmony, as the minority shareholders no longer
have any equity basis in their investment. As of December 31,
1999, the Company has recognized losses in excess of its
prorata share totaling $2,214,013.
Unsecured demand notes payable due from Harmony totaling
$3,326,369 and $680,041 (including interest) are outstanding
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. At December 31,
1999, these notes as well as the related interest are
eliminated in Harmony's consolidation with the Company.
The following amounts represent Harmony's results from
operations for the periods presented that Harmony was
accounted for under the equity method. Such amounts have been
derived from Harmony's financial statements for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

NOTE 7: SHORT-TERM DEBT - AFFILIATES
Directors and Shareholders:
In July 1998, the notes payable aggregating $1,250,000
which were issued in July 1997, were extended four months
to October 22, 1998. As consideration for the extension,
the holders, a partnership controlled by a Company
director, a Company director individually and a less than
five-percent shareholder, were offered additional warrants
to purchase the Company's common stock or an increase in
the note payable interest rate from 10% to 20%. Two of the
holders representing $750,000 of the outstanding debt opted
to receive additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of
37,500 shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining
holder of outstanding debt totaling $500,000 opted for the
increased interest rate of 20%. The warrants vested
immediately and are exercisable at $3.06 per share for a
term of 5 years. The value of the warrants was determined
to be $62,625. The debt was repaid in full in October 1998
upon closing of the CRN radio station sales transaction
(Note 2).
Curious Picture's Management:
Effective August 1, 1999, the Company purchased the Option
and Share Transfer Agreement for the sum of $3,000,000
including cash consideration of $1,500,000 and this
issuance of a promissory note for a aggregate of $1,500,000
to the four members of Curious Management ($375,000 to each
member) payable on May 31, 2000 at an interest rate equal
to eight percent (8%) per annum (Note 3). The promissory
note requires the Company to pay interest quarterly through
May 31, 2000, at which time the principal balance will be
payable in full. In the event any member of Curious
Management's employment with Curious is terminated or any
member of Curious Management terminates his/her employment
agreement prior to the payment of the promissory note, the
principal amount of this promissory note will be reduced by
$375,000 for such member.
NOTE 8: LINE OF CREDIT
At December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding short-term
borrowings totaling $434,974 under a discretionary line of
credit pursuant to the finance company credit agreement (Note
9). The line of credit was terminated upon its full repayment
in January 1999 (Note 9).
In July 1998, Harmony entered into an asset based loan and
security agreement due to a finance company, which is secured
by virtually all its assets, is guaranteed by iNTELEFILM, and
provides for the following borrowings: a revolving line of
credit with maximum availability of $4,500,000 or a specified
percentage of acceptable accounts receivable with interest at
a variable rate (10.0% at December 31, 1999). At December 31,
1999, $3,548,911 was outstanding on the line of credit.
Subsequent to December 31, 1999, the line of credit was repaid
in full pursuant to the lender's call.

In November 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a
finance company (the "Credit Agreement") under which three
credit facilities (the "Facilities") were established. The
Facilities included a $11,500,000 term note payable, a
$1,000,000 line of credit (Note 8), and a $4,000,000
acquisition facility which was not utilized.
From July 1997 through October 1998, the Credit Agreement was
amended and restated pursuant to additional term note payable
advances received by the Company aggregating $15,000,000 in
1998. The provisions of the Credit Agreement remained
substantially unchanged as a result of these amendments and
restatements except that the $4,000,000 acquisition facility
was cancelled and the available line of credit (Note 8) was
reduced from $1,000,000 to $500,000 in favor of the increased
term note payable. In September and October 1998, the Company
repaid $1,300,000 and $14,700,000 in connection with the 1090
and CRN radio station sales transactions (Note 2),
respectively. Finally, the Credit Agreement was amended again
in October 1998, primarily to reschedule installment payments
due and to provide the lender a security interest in the note
receivable received by the Company in the CRN radio station
sale transaction (Note 2). In January 1999, the Facilities
were repaid in full upon completion of the Unica radio station
sale transaction (Note 2).
In connection with the original Credit Agreement and the
amendments, the Company incurred debt issuance costs
aggregating $1,310,000 in 1998. These costs included finance
company fees which reduced the proceeds of the term note
payable advances of $400,000 in 1998, the value of warrants
granted to the finance company net of the value of cancelled
previously granted warrants of $560,000 in 1998, and other
transaction costs of $350,000 in 1998. The debt issuance costs

the accompanying balance sheet and, prior to the complete
facility repayment in January 1999, were being amortized
utilizing the interest method over the remaining life of the
Credit Agreement. Additionally, with each of the
aforementioned facility repayments, the Company wrote-off
deferred debt issue costs based on the proportionate share of
principal repaid. At December 31, 1998 the unamortized value
of these costs totaled $742,737, and was written off in
January 1999.
The facilities were subject to certain restrictive covenants.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had not met certain of
the covenant requirements; however, the violation was cured
with the Company's repayment of the Facilities in full in
January 1999.

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Employment Contracts:
The Company has entered into various employment agreements
with its officers and commercial directors, which obligate
it to make minimum payments of approximately $9,914,047.
The payments due are $3,443,901, $2,219,696, $1,747,878,
$1,722,487, $499,046 and $281,039, for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and thereafter,
respectively. Of these amounts $6,344,220 are for
administrative personnel and $3,569,827 are for commercial
television directors and salespeople. Certain of these
agreements provide for additional compensation based on
subsidiary revenues, defined subsidiary operating profits
or other incentives. This additional compensation is
payable whether or not the Company achieves an operating
profit as a whole. Some of the television directors who
are associated with the Company receive monthly draws
against the directors' compensation for production of
commercials. The monthly draws equal the minimum
guaranteed compensation payable to such directors.
Although the draws are recoupable by the Company out of
compensation otherwise payable to such directors, such
directors are not obligated to repay such draws, if their
fees for commercials produced do not exceed the monthly
draws that have been paid. Consequently, the Company is
obligated to provide compensation to these directors
whether or not they are directing commercials. Most of the
Company's sales personnel receive monthly draws offset by
their earned commissions.
Officers and Director Severance Plan:
In April 1999, a severance plan which covers two of the
Company's executive officers and one of the Company's
non-employee directors was adopted. As to the officers,
the plan provides for severance benefits in the event of
termination of employment under certain circumstances
following a change in control of the Company (as defined).
The applicable circumstances are (a) termination by the
Company without cause (as defined) other than because of
death, retirement or disability, (b) termination for good
reason (as defined), or (c) termination without good
reason if the date of termination is within 180 days after
a change in control. Following any such termination, in
addition to compensation and benefits already earned, such
individual will be entitled to receive a lump sum
severance payment equal to a multiple of such individual's
annual gross base salary as then in effect, including
amounts accrued but not paid. Based upon 1999 annual gross
base salaries, lump sum severance payments aggregating
$2,055,000 would be payable under the plan. The plan also
provides for the accelerated vesting of outstanding stock
options and certain other benefits following a change in
control.
The plan is in effect from April 1, 1999 through March 31,
2002. Thereafter, the plan automatically renews annually
unless the Company gives notice that it does not wish to
extend it. In addition, the plan will continue in effect
for three years after a change in control.

Pending Litigation:
On September 30, 1998, a jury in the United States District
Court for the District of Minnesota (the "Court") ruled in
favor of the Company in connection with litigation for
breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets
that the Company had commenced against ABC/Disney and
awarded the Company $20,000,000 for breach of contract
against ABC Radio, $10,000,000 for misappropriations of
trade secret by ABC Radio and $10,000,000 for
misappropriation of trade secret against Disney. On January
15, 1999, the Court upheld the jury's findings that ABC
Radio had breached its contract with the Company and that
ABC/Disney both misappropriated the Company's trade secret
information, the Court disagreed with the jury's conclusion
that the evidence showed that those actions caused the
Company's damages or that the amount of damages awarded by
the jury was supported by the evidence, and set aside the
jury's verdict. The Court further ruled that in the event
that the decision is reversed or remanded on appeal, that
the defendants be granted a new trial on the issues of
causation and damages. The Company filed a Notice of Appeal
in February 1999. On February 16, 2000, the Company
presented its oral argument to the 8th Circuit Court of
Appeals in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Company intends to
pursue its appeal of the judgement and, to this end,
certain personnel and financial resources will be used.
Additionally, the Company has entered an agreement with its
primary counsel for this litigation. Under the agreement
the counsel has agreed to make twenty-five percent of their
fees contingent upon the successful outcome of this lawsuit
in exchange for seven and one half percent of any
settlement or judgement in favor of the Company. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fees contingent under this
agreement totaled approximately $800,000 and $727,000,
respectively.
Except as described above, the Company is not a party to
any material proceedings. From time to time the Company is
a party to litigation which is incidental to its business,
including administrative proceedings.
401(k) Savings/Profit-Sharing Plan:
The Company has a 401(k) plan available to all employees
meeting certain service requirements. Eligible employees
may contribute a portion of their annual salary to the
plan, subject to certain limitations. The Company may make
matching contributions and also may provide profit-sharing
contributions at the discretion of its board of directors.
Employees become fully vested in the Company contributions
after five years of service. There were no Company
contributions in 1999 or 1998.

NOTE 11: REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has authorized 606,061 shares of $0.02 par value
Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock ("the
Series"). In June 1998, the Company issued 606,061 shares of
the Series with a $3.30 per share stated value and warrants to
purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The
Series was initially recorded on the Company's financial
statements at $1,768,250 which represents the net proceeds
received totaling $1,864,250 ($2,000,000 aggregate stated
value less transaction costs totaling $135,750) discounted by
$96,000 for the value of the warrants granted. The preferred
stock carried the right of redemption or conversion into a
variable number of shares of the Company's common stock upon
expiration of the Company's right to redeem the series. Prior
to an amendment to the related securities agreement, the
Company had the right to redeem the Series for $4.04 per share
until October 22, 1998. Subject to the amendment, the Company
issued additional warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. The warrant issuance allowed the
Company to extend its redemption right until January 1999. At
that time, the preferred stock was redeemed at $4.04 per
share, or $2,450,000, utilizing proceeds of the Unica radio
station sale transaction (Note 2). During 1998, the Company
recorded accretion of the preferred stock totaling $680,236.
NOTE 12: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock:
The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of common
stock at $.02 par value. The Company has voting shares of
6,099,577 and 6,261,701 issued and outstanding at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and nonvoting shares of
189,041 which are issued and outstanding at December 31,
1999 and 1998.
Repurchase of Common Stock:
In April 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of its common stock,
representing approximately 7.6% of the outstanding common
stock at that time, over a period of 12 months. Repurchases
have been and will be made in accordance with Exchange Act
Rule 10b-18, and will be subject to the availability of
stock, trading price, market conditions and the Company's
financial performance. The repurchased shares are canceled
and returned to the Company's authorized capital stock. As
of December 31, 1999, the Company had repurchased an
aggregate of 488,900 shares for an aggregate of $917,614 at
prices ranging from $1.53 to $2.06 per share.
Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Options Plans:
In August 1998, the Company amended the 1994 Stock Option
Plan to allow the board of directors to amend the terms of
options issued under the plan at its discretion subject to
certain restrictions. Additionally, options issued under
the 1991 and 1994 Stock Option Plans were revised to
provide that the options would not automatically terminate
as a result of a sale of substantially all the Company's
assets. In October 1998 upon the closing of the CRN radio
station transaction (Note 2), all options outstanding under
the plans became fully vested to the holders.

Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Options Plans (Continued):
In 1991, the Company established the 1991 Stock Option Plan
to provide incentives to employees whereby 200,000 shares
of the Company's common stock have been granted. The
options are exercisable on the date of grant and are
generally valued at the fair market value of the stock on
the date of grant. The options expire on various dates
through January 2005.
In March 1994, the board adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan
whereby 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock have
been reserved. The options can be either incentive stock
options or nonstatutory options and are generally valued at
the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.
The options generally vest over a five-year period and
expire through January 2005.
In May 1994, the board adopted the 1994 Director Stock
Option Plan whereby 125,000 shares of the Company's common
stock have been reserved. The plan provided for automatic
grants of non-qualified options to purchase 3,750 shares to
outside directors upon first becoming a director and an
additional 3,750 shares upon each anniversary of the
original grant. In April 1999, the Plan was amended to
reserve 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. At
that time 45,000 options, vesting equally over three years,
were granted to each of the three outside directors. All
options under this plan were valued under the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model resulting in $50,400 of compensation
expenses recorded in 1999. The options are generally valued
at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant
and expire five years thereafter.
In December 1999, the board adopted the 1999 Broad-Based
Stock Incentive Plan whereby 400,000 shares of the
Company's common stock have been reserved. The options may
be granted to only non-officer employees and may be priced
at not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date
of grant. The options have varying vesting schedules and
generally expire within five years of the date of grant.

be purchased at their fair market value during specified
offering periods. No shares were issued under the plan
during 1999 and 1998. In 1999, they amended this plan to
update for various regulation compliance. The underlying
plan terms have not changed.
Shareholder Rights Plan:
In February 1998, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights
Plan designed to enable the Company and its board to
develop and preserve long-term values for shareholders and
to protect shareholders in the event an attempt is made to
acquire control of Company through certain coercive or
unfair tactics or without an offer of fair value to all
shareholders. The Plan provides for distribution of a
common share purchase right to each shareholder of record
of the Company's Common Stock on February 27, 1998. Under
the Plan, these rights to purchase common shares will
generally be exercisable a certain number of days after a
person or group acquires or announces an intention to
acquire 20% or more of the Company's Common Stock. Each
right entitles the holder, after the rights become
exercisable, to receive shares of Company common stock
having a market value of two times the exercise price of
the right or securities of the acquiring entity at one-half
their market value at that time.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Continued):
Included in the table above are warrants issued in
connection with the finance company Credit Agreement,
bridge loans and other short-term notes payable. The value
of these warrants is charged to interest expense over the
term of the related debt agreement and during the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company incurred
interest expense aggregating approximately $302,747 and
$725,378, respectively. The value of the warrants related
to the issuance of new debt was determined based on the
difference between the stated interest rate and the
Company's estimated effective borrowing rate.
Harmony Stock Options:
As of December 31, 1999, 1,120,500 Harmony stock options at
a weighted average exercise price of $1.47 per share were

The Company has management services contracts with a
privately held affiliate (the "Management Company") related
to the Company through common control. The contracts, which
expire in December 2000 and are renewable annually
thereafter, require that the Company pay the Management
Company a fee aggregating of $180,000 per month for
services received. The management fees totaled $1,549,372
and $900,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. At December
31, 1999, $175,000 of these fees remained due and payable
to the Management Company.
The Management Company also provides services to another
privately held affiliate related to the Company through
common control. The management fee is based on estimated
usage of the Management Company's services by each company.
Management reviews the allocation periodically and believes
that the allocation method is reasonable.
Accounts Receivable/Payable - Affiliates:
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, accounts receivable
aggregating $373,239 and $280,438, respectively, were
outstanding from several affiliates related to Company
through common control or equity investment. These accounts
result primarily from the allocation of shared expenses.
At December 31, 1998, an account payable totaling $363,727
remained due to an officer and director of the Company
associated with their assistance in financing the Company's
repurchases of 271,000 shares of its common stock.

president for the money he would have received had the
Company continued to be the lessee of the KYCR tower site.

taxable income in future periods. Additionally, federal net
operating losses of Harmony of approximately $7,400,000 are
limited to usage of $792,000 per year, due to ownership
changes as defined under Section 382 of the Standard Revenue

ITEM 12 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
LEASES
Until October 30, 1998, the studios and tower site of WWTC(AM) and
KYCR(AM) were located in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The studio facility
consisted of approximately 12,000 square feet. The tower site included four
200-foot towers, a transmitter building and a storage garage on approximately 16
acres. The tower site was leased from Mr. Dahl at a total annual rent of
approximately $114,000, and the studio site was leased from 5501 Building
Partnership, a partnership consisting of Messrs. Dahl and Perkins at an annual
rent of approximately $132,000. In connection with the sale of radio station
KYCR(AM), Salem became the lessee for the KYCR(AM) tower site lease. The
transaction was structured so that the monthly tower lease payments decreased
from $4,000 a month to $2,000 a month. The Related Party Transaction Committee
has approved the Company's reimbursement to Mr. Dahl for the money he would have
received had the Company continued to be the lessee of the KYCR(AM) tower site
through October 31, 2008.
Until February 28, 1999, the Company leased certain office space at 724
First Street North, Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Company's former executive
offices, from 724 Associates, a partnership consisting of Messrs. Dahl, Perkins
and Stephen L. Wallack, a shareholder of the Company. These facilities were
leased at annual rental of $54,000. The arrangements were approved by the
Related Party Transaction Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, which
is comprised of disinterested directors, and the Company believes such
arrangements were on terms at least as favorable as could have been obtained
from unaffiliated third parties. On March 1, 1999, the Company assigned all of
its rights and obligations under the lease to 5501 Building Partnership, an
entity owned by Dahl and Perkins.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES FROM AN AFFILIATE
From July 1993 through July 1998 the Company received administrative,
legal and accounting services from RMC, an entity owned by Messrs. Dahl,
Perkins, and Russell Cowles II. Mr. Cowles, a former director-elect of the
Company, is a beneficiary and trustee of John Cowles Family Trust, a shareholder
of the Company. Since August 1998, the Company has received such services from
MMLLC, an entity owned by Messrs. Dahl and Perkins. MMLLC provides corporate,
legal, accounting and financial services to the Company, CAC and Harmony. The
Company also subleases its executive offices from MMLLC. The Company pays a set
monthly fee of $125,000 for the services listed above. All outside services
directly attributable to the Company are billed directly to the Company. The
Company paid MMLLC an aggregate of $1,095,000 for such services during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and an aggregate of $ 375,000 for such
services during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Harmony pays a set
monthly fee of $55,000 for services provided to it. Harmony paid MMLLC an
aggregate of $463,720 for such services during its fiscal year ending June 30,
1999 and $0 for its fiscal year ending June 30, 1998. The Company paid RMC an
aggregate of $525,000 for such services during

services of the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the General
Counsel are also rendered by Messrs. Gilbertson, Smith and Ms. Theis,
respectively, on a shared basis with Harmony. Additionally, MMLLC received
additional payments of $550,000 in connection with the closing of the sale of
the radio stations to 1090, Salem, CRN and Radio Unica Corp.
HARMONY-RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the July 1997 acquisition by the Company of shares
of common stock of Harmony, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $1.25 million
from three parties: Rodney P. Burwell, a former director of the Company, Pyramid
Partners, L.P., an entity of which PCM is the managing partner, and William M.
Toles, a shareholder of the Company. Mr. Perkins, a director of the Company, is
President and Chief Executive Officer of PCM. Messrs. Perkins and Toles are
members of the Board of Directors of Harmony. Their loans were evidenced by
notes bearing interest at 10% per year, payable on July 25, 1998. Additionally,
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 125,000 shares of Common Stock at $4.00 per
share were issued to those lenders. In June 1998, the Company received
extensions from Messrs. Toles and Burwell and Pyramid Partners in exchange for
an option for either additional warrants or for an increase in the interest rate
on the outstanding balance of the loan. Mr. Toles and Pyramid Partners elected
to receive additional warrants to purchase 12,500 and 25,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $3.06 per share for a term of five years,
respectively, and Mr. Burwell elected to receive an increase in the interest
rate to 20%. On November 3, 1998, the Company repaid Messrs.
Toles and Burwell and Pyramid Partners in full.
Messrs. Dahl and Perkins are directors of Harmony, an entity of which
the Company is the largest shareholder. In January 1998, the Company received
proceeds of $611,000 and paid debt issuance costs of $39,000 through the
issuance of a note payable to Harmony on face amount of $650,000. The Company
repaid the entire note along with accrued interest in June 1998.
In April 1998, the Company assigned to Pyramid Partners, L.P.; Perkins
& Partners, Inc., Profit Sharing Plan & Trust and Christopher T. Dahl & State
Bank of New Prague Joint Account all of its right to purchase 225,000 shares of
common stock of Harmony at $2.50 per share from Glenn B. Laken, a shareholder of
Harmony. In October 1998, the Company repurchased the 225,000 shares of common
stock of Harmony at $2.75 per share from Pyramid Partners, L.P., Perkins &
Partners, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan & Trust and Christopher T. Dahl & State Bank
of New Prague Joint Account.
From November 1998 to March 2000, the Company has advanced Harmony
operating funds under notes receivable of which approximately $3.7 million
remain outstanding as of March 1, 2000. The notes receivable bear an interest
rate of 14%. Also, until such time as Harmony receives a new working line of
credit, the Company has agreed to fund Harmony's operations as necessary. At
this time, the Company receives no additional compensation for providing such
services to Harmony.

In connection with the sale of the assets to CRN, Christopher T. Dahl,
Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company entered into a three (3) year Consulting and Non- Circumvention
Agreement with CRN, pursuant to which Mr. Dahl received payment of $750,000.
Also, in connection with the sale of the assets to Radio Unica, Mr. Dahl entered
into a two (2) year Non-Competition Agreement with Radio Unica, pursuant to
which Mr. Dahl received payment of $750,000. The fees provided for under these
agreements are payable whether or not CRN or Radio Unica requests Mr. Dahl to
perform any services thereunder.
In April 1999, after consulting with an outside consulting firm, the
Board of Directors adopted a severance plan which covers two of the Company's
executive officers, Christopher T. Dahl and James G. Gilbertson, and
55
<PAGE> 57
one of the Company's non-employee directors, Richard W. Perkins. As to the
officers, the plan provides for severance benefits in the event of termination
of employment under certain circumstances following a change in control of the
Company (as defined in the plan). The applicable circumstances are (a)
termination by the Company without cause (as defined in the plan) other than
because of death, retirement or disability (only as it pertains to Messrs. Dahl
and Perkins), (b) termination for good reason (as defined in the plan), or (c)
termination without good reason if the date of termination is within 180 days
after a change in control. Following any such termination, in addition to
compensation and benefits already earned, such individual will be entitled to
receive a lump sum severance payment equal to a multiple of such individual's
annual gross base salary from MMLLC, Harmony and the Company as then in effect,
including amounts accrued but not paid. The applicable multiples for Messrs.
Dahl and Perkins are five and for Mr. Gilbertson two. Based upon 1999 annual
gross base salaries, Messrs. Dahl and Gilbertson would be eligible to receive
lump sum severance payments of $1,455,000 and $350,000, respectively. As to Mr.
Perkins, he would be entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment of
$250,000. Mr. Perkins is participating in the plan in consideration of his
status as a founding director of the Company and his ongoing consulting with
management, for which he has not received separate compensation. The plan also
provides for the accelerated vesting of outstanding stock options and certain
other benefits following a change in control. The plan is in effect from April
1, 1999 through March 31, 2002. Thereafter, the plan automatically renews
annually unless the Company gives notice that it does not wish to extend it. In
addition, the plan will continue in effect for three years after a change in
control.
In November 1999, Mr. Dahl exercised his right to purchase 125,000
shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to $1.625 per share by
executing a note receivable to the Company for the principal amount of $203,125
at an interest rate equal to 6% per annum. The Company's Board of Directors
approved the loan and exercise of the options.
In August 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
repurchase of up to 400,000 shares of common stock pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
10b-18 whereby such repurchase was to be made through a broker through purchases
of common stock in the open market in the Company's name and on its behalf. The
Company subsequently determined that the broker did not follow the Company's
instructions with respect to the purchase of such shares and canceled its
authorization for the repurchase of shares. The broker then advised the Company
that it has accumulated 385,000 shares of common stock for its own account and
presented Company with the opportunity to purchase such shares, but the Company
was unable to effect such purchase because of delays in connection with the
closing of the sale of assets to CRN and restrictions placed upon the Company by
its lender. Two of the Company's directors, Christopher T. Dahl and Richard W.
Perkins, with the consent of the Board, initiated negotiations with the broker
to acquire the broker's shares and financed the acquisition of 171,000 shares of
the Company's common stock from the broker for their own account and assumed all
market and other risks associated therewith. Upon the closing of the sale of the
assets to CRN, the Company purchased 171,000 shares of the Company's common
stock from Messrs. Dahl and Perkins at their actual cost, including financing
expenses associated therewith in the amount of approximately $563,000 and
assumed the financing obligations of Messrs. Dahl and Perkins at Key Community
Bank. In January 1999, the Company repaid in full along with interest its
indebtedness with Key Community Bank. The Company canceled the repurchase of
shares pursuant to its 1998 repurchase plan.
Lance W. Riley, former Secretary and General Counsel of the Company,
had an of counsel relationship with Hessian & McKasy, P.A. ("HMPA"), one of the
law firms which represented the Company in connection with the ABC/Disney
litigation. During 1997, the Company paid HMPA legal fees of $883,749 and
disbursements of $106,480. During 1998, the Company paid HMPA legal fees of
$419,299 and disbursements of 50,735 in connection with the ABC/Disney
litigation.
