SOURCE MEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the "Company"
or "Source Media" include Source Media, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
IT Network, Inc. ("IT Network"), Interactive Channel, Inc. ("Interactive
Channel"), SMI Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), and Interactive Channel
Technologies, Inc., marketed under the name of VirtualModemTM ("ICT").
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements
include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods indicated.
Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1999. The balance sheet at December 31, 1998, has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998.
Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily
with $156.6 million raised from various financing activities, including the
incurrence of debt and issuance of the Company's common stock and preferred
stock. In October 1997, the Company issued $100.0 million of Senior Secured
Notes (the "Notes") and $20.0 million of preferred stock. The interest escrow
account created pursuant to the indenture has been and will be used to fund the
first four interest payments on the Notes. Interest payments from the interest
escrow account were made on May 1, 1998, November 1, 1998 and May 1, 1999. The
Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash, cash equivalents and
restricted investments, which totaled $13.9 million at June 30, 1999. This cash
position consisted of $6.0 million held in escrow for the November 1, 1999
interest payment and $7.9 million of operating cash. The Company's first
interest payment not currently held in escrow is due May 1, 2000.
The Company currently believes its resources will be sufficient to meet
the Company's anticipated cash needs for working capital and other capital
expenditures related to the Company's business and operations into the fourth
quarter of 1999. Upon the closing of a joint venture with a subsidiary of
Insight Communications Company, Inc., the cost of the Interactive TV's
operations will be funded by the joint venture. Additionally, the Company
expects to receive $12.0 million cash from the sale of common stock related to
the Insight transaction which is expected to adequately fund the Company through
at least the first interest payment on its debt, due on May 1, 2000. If the
Insight transaction is not approved the Company
7
<PAGE> 8
would be required to seek alternative financing. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to obtain such financing.
2. Computation of Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Dilutive
earnings per share has not been presented because the options and warrants are
anti-dilutive.
3. Translation of Foreign Currencies
The financial positions and results of operations of ICT and related
Canadian subsidiaries are measured using local currency (Canadian dollar) as the
functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated
at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Statement of
operations accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing
during the period. Translation adjustments and foreign currency gains and losses
have not been significant and accordingly, have not been separately presented.
4. Commitments and Contingencies
On May 11, 1998, ICT and Holdings filed an action in U.S. District
Court for the District of Delaware against WorldGate Communications, Inc.
("WorldGate") alleging that WorldGate has infringed four of the Company's
patents. Each party has filed a Motion to Dismiss certain claims and discovery
has been stayed until August 15, 1999. Trial is scheduled for November, 2000.
The Company intends to aggressively defend its patents.
On January 11, 1999, Brite Voice Systems, Inc. ("Brite") filed a
lawsuit against IT Network and Source Media (together with IT Network, the
" Brite Defendants") in the United States District Court for the District of
Kansas. Brite alleged three claims against the Brite Defendants: (1) breach of a
September 23, 1997 Asset Purchase Agreement for which Brite seeks recovery of
alleged damages in an amount in excess of $111,950.18; (2) breach of an October
30, 1997 Lease and Service Agreement in connection with the September 23, 1997
Asset Purchase Agreement, for which Brite seeks recovery of alleged damages in
the amount of $30,472.53; and (3) declaratory judgment pursuant to which Brite
seeks a declaration of rights in connection with all indemnity claims of which
IT Network has provided Brite written notice pursuant to the September 23, 1997
Asset Purchase Agreement. On April 23, 1999, the Company and Brite executed a
Settlement Agreement resulting in Brite voluntarily dismissing the case with
prejudice. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but do not adversely
affect the Company's results of operations or its financial condition.
On July 17, 1998, IT Network filed a lawsuit against a former employee
of Brite Voice Systems, Inc., Michael Shell ("Shell"), the two companies he
founded, Interactive Media Services, Inc. ("IMS") and Interactive Information
Services, LLC ("IIS"), and a third company called Talking Directories, Inc.
("TDI"). The lawsuit was filed in the Western District of Michigan and alleged
two causes of action, one for copyright infringement against all of the
defendants and a second for breach of contract against TDI. The Court granted IT
Network's Motion for Preliminary Injunction against all Defendants on August 14,
1998, preliminarily
8
<PAGE> 9
enjoining the defendants from further infringing IT Network's catalogue and
scripts. On December 3, 1998, IT Network filed a First Amended Complaint which
added a new claim against Shell, IMS and IIS for copyright infringement of
certain proprietary satellite broadcast software IT Network acquired from Brite.
Related cases were filed in Kansas state and federal court by IT Network against
Shell, IMS, IIS and certain former employees of IT Network. On June 8, 1999,
Shell, IMS and IIS signed a Broadcast Software License Agreement with IT Network
under which IT Network licensed certain IT Network broadcast software and
satellite broadcast protocols in exchange for a monthly fee. All litigation in
federal and state court in Michigan and Kansas was settled by all the parties.
A total of fourteen class action complaints were filed against Source
Media and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Texas asserting violations of sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 of the accompanying
regulations. The fourteen complaints were consolidated by Judge Buchmeyer into
the first filed case, Hartsell, et al. v. Source Media, Inc., et al., Civil
Action No. 398-CV-1980-R (filed August 21, 1998), on October 9, 1998. Plaintiffs
filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint on March 3, 1999. Defendants filed a
motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint on April 19, 1999. Judge
Buchmeyer heard arguments on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss on July 14, 1999 and
denied the Motion. Defendants filed a motion seeking to certify the order for
immediate appeal by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Discovery is proceeding
pending a decision on the application for immediate appeal. Trial has been set
for June, 2000. The Company believes that all of these cases are without merit
and will vigorously defend itself and its officers and directors.
On October 6, 1998, Advanced Interactive, Inc. filed a complaint in
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division,
against ICT and the following companies: Matsushita Electric Corporation,
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., Sharp Electronics Corp., Sharp Corp.,
Thomson Consumer Electronics, Toshiba Consumer Products, Inc., Toshiba America,
Inc., Toshiba Corporation, General Instruments Corp., Scientific Atlanta, Inc.,
ATI Technologies, Inc., ADS Technologies Inc., Gateway 2000, Inc., STB Systems,
Inc., Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc., WebTV Networks, Inc. and WorldGate
Communications, Inc. (collectively the "Advanced Interactive Defendants").
Advanced Interactive alleges that ICT infringed two claims of one of its patents
by manufacturing, using and/or selling or offering to sell "Sourceware(TM)
ChannelLink(TM)". The same allegation is made against each Advanced Interactive
Defendant for its particular product or service. The Plaintiff seeks damages,
but makes no claims against the patents of ICT or any other Advanced Interactive
Defendant. ICT, and each of the Defendants, have filed an Answer and have
collectively joined the Motion for Partial Summary Judgment submitted by
Matsushita Electric Corporation of America, Sharp Electronics Corp., Sharp Corp.
and the Toshiba Defendants. On May 12, 1999 the court denied Advanced
Interactive's Motion for Summary Judgement of Infringement. The court has not
yet considered the Advanced Interactive Defendant's collective Motion for
Partial Summary Judgment. The Company believes this case is totally without
merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In addition, the Company is aware of certain claims against the Company
that have not developed into litigation, or if they have, are dormant, and in
any case are not expected to have a
9
<PAGE> 10
material adverse affect on the Company. Further, the Company is party to
ordinary routine litigation, none of which is expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial
condition.
As part of the Company's review of its booking performance against
customer sales guarantees, the Company anticipates a shortfall on several
contracts. In connection with these guarantees, the Company has recorded
$1.4 million of expense in the second quarter.
The Company has employment agreements with three executives. The
agreements provide that the Company will pay a base salary amount and grant
stock options over a set term to the employees. In the event of a termination
without cause, the Company remains obligated to make certain payments as defined
in the agreements. One contract terminates in 1999, one in 2001 and the third in
2002.
In the second quarter, the Company entered into severance agreements
with certain executives that provide for salary continuation for up to six
months and company payment of health insurance premiums.
5. Long-Term Debt
On October 30, 1997, the Company issued Senior Secured Notes (the
"Notes"), in the principal amount of $100 million, which bear interest at the
rate of 12% per annum through November 1, 2004. Interest on the Notes is payable
semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year commencing on May 1, 1998, to
holders of record at the close of business on April 15th or October 15th
immediately preceding the interest payment date. The Company placed into an
escrow account approximately $22.6 million of the net proceeds from the
offering, representing funds sufficient, together with interest thereon, to pay
the first four interest payments on the Notes. At June 30, 1999, $6.0 million
remains in escrow to pay the interest due November 1, 1999.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and
severally, by each of the Company's subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors").
The guarantees are senior obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors and are
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The
guarantees rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors and rank senior in right of
payment to all existing and future subordinated obligations of the Subsidiary
Guarantors. The guarantees may be released upon the occurrence of certain
events. The guarantee executed by IT Network contains a covenant that restricts
payments of dividends on its capital stock to an amount sufficient to cover debt
service on the Notes, redemptions or repurchases of the Notes or the Company's
Senior PIK Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), dividends on the Preferred
Stock and corporate overhead. The assets of Source Media consist solely of
investments in its subsidiaries and invested proceeds from the Notes and the
Preferred Stock and related warrants. Financial statements for the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the parent, Source Media, Inc., on an unconsolidated basis, are
not presented because management has determined that they would not be material
to investors.
10
<PAGE> 11
Except as described below, the Company may not redeem the Notes prior
to November 1, 2001. On or after such date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in
whole or in part, at any time, at various redemption prices set forth in the
indenture governing the terms of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, at any time and from
time to time on or prior to November 1, 2000, the Company may, subject to
certain requirements, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes with the cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption
price equal to 112% of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, provided, that,
at least $65.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain
outstanding immediately after each such redemption. The Notes are not subject to
any sinking fund requirement. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, the
Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a price
equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of the repurchase. The indenture contains certain
covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on indebtedness, restricted
payments, liens, restrictions on distributions from restricted subsidiaries,
sales of assets and subsidiary stock, affiliate transactions, issuances of
capital stock of restricted subsidiaries and sale/leaseback transactions. As of
June 30, 1999, the dealer quoted value of a Note was $0.80 per dollar resulting
in an aggregate fair market value of approximately $80.0 million.
6. Senior PIK Preferred Stock
On October 30, 1997, the Company issued 800 units (the Units) for an
aggregate purchase price of $20 million, each Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of
non-voting Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and
558.75 warrants (the "October 1997 Warrants"). Each October 1997 Warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at a
purchase price of $0.01 per share. In the aggregate, the October 1997 Warrants
represent the right to purchase 447,000 shares of common stock. The Units were
sold in connection with the Company's acquisitions of certain assets.
Dividends on the Preferred Stock are payable quarterly on each February
1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, commencing February 1, 1998, at an annual
rate of 13 1/2% of the liquidation preference per share. At the Company's
option, on any dividend payment date occurring on or prior to November 1, 2002
dividends may be paid either in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of
Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference equal to the amount of such
dividends; thereafter, dividends will be paid in cash. The certificate of
designation governing the terms of the Preferred Stock limits the amount of cash
dividends that may be paid on the Preferred Stock. At any time and from time to
time on or prior to November 1, 2000, the Company may, subject to certain
requirements, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate liquidation value of the
Preferred Stock with the cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a
redemption price equal to 113 1/2% of the liquidation preference thereof, plus
accumulated dividends, on the date of redemption. After November 1, 2000 and
prior to November 1, 2002, the Preferred Stock is not redeemable. On or after
November 1, 2002, the Company may redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole or in
part, at any time, at various redemption prices, plus accumulated and unpaid
dividends, to the date of redemption. Upon the occurrence of a change in
control, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the
outstanding shares of
11
<PAGE> 12
the Preferred Stock at a price equal to 101% of the liquidation preference
thereof, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, to the date of purchase. The
Preferred Stock will be subject to mandatory redemption in whole on November 1,
2007, at a price equal to 100% of the then effective liquidation preference
thereof, plus, without duplication, all accrued and unpaid dividends to the date
of redemption. The certificate of designation contains certain covenants
including, but not limited to, limitations on indebtedness, restricted payments,
affiliate transactions, issuances of capital stock of restricted subsidiaries
and sale/leaseback transactions.
The Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes of common stock and to
each other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock with respect to
dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the
Company. The Preferred Stock is non-voting except in certain circumstances. The
Company may not authorize any new class of preferred stock that ranks senior or
pari passu to the Preferred Stock without the approval of the holders of at
least a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting or
consenting, as the case may be, as one class, provided, however, that the
Company can issue additional shares of Preferred Stock to satisfy dividend
payments on outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and further provided that the
Company can issue shares of preferred stock ranking pari passu with the
Preferred Stock if after giving effect thereto, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio,
as defined in the certificate of designation, is greater than 1.7 to 1.0.
The estimated fair market value of the October 1997 Warrants, which was
estimated to be approximately $5.5 million, was credited to capital in excess of
par value and the Preferred Stock was recorded at a corresponding discount.
Additionally, $1.2 million of issuance costs were recorded on the Preferred
Stock. The discount and issuance costs on the Preferred Stock are being accreted
as additional preferred stock dividends using the effective dividend rate method
over a ten-year period, resulting in an effective dividend rate of 19.9%. As of
June 30, 1999 the dealer quoted fair market value of the preferred stock was
$18.00 per share for an aggregate value of $17.6 million.
On February 1 and May 1, 1999 the quarterly dividends due on the
Preferred Stock were paid through the issuance of additional Preferred Stock
having a liquidation preference of $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively,
with terms identical to those of the Preferred Stock. The estimated fair market
value of the stock issued in lieu of a cash payment on February 1, and May 1,
1999 was approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which was
recorded as preferred stock dividends.
8. Stock Based Compensation
The Company has granted stock options to employees in excess of shares
reserved for issuance under the stock option plan at the date of grant. The
portion of unauthorized options are treated as a variable compensation plan
through the date an amendment to the stock option plan increasing the number of
shares is approved by shareholders. The Company recognizes stock compensation
expense over the vesting period of the related options. Total non-cash stock
based compensation for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1999
amounted to $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively and $0.7 million and
$1.2 million, respectively for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 and
1999.

On October 30, 1997, the Company purchased certain of the electronic publishing
assets of Brite for $35.6 million and certain of the assets of VNN, a unit of
Tribune Company, for $9.0 million. Throughout the second quarter of 1998, a
significant portion of the customer contracts purchased in the Brite acquisition
were cancelled or not renewed. As a result, the Company reviewed the value
assigned to the contract rights and certain related intangible assets acquired
in the Brite purchase and found them, along with the goodwill associated with
the Brite acquisition, to be impaired, resulting in a write-off of $25.9 million
in the second quarter of 1998.
10. Subsequent Events
On February 11, 1999 the Company signed a letter of intent with Prevue
Ventures, Inc. ("Prevue") to enter a joint venture, terms of which are included
in the Company's Form 10K and first quarter's Form 10Q. Subsequent to June 30,
1999 the parties failed to reach definitive agreement. On August 3, 1999, the
Company announced that it had filed an action in the District Court of Dallas
County, Texas against TV Guide, Inc. (formerly Prevue) for breach of a
Non-Disclosure Agreement entered into in September 1998. The petition seeks
damages of approximately $60 million representing the decline in share value
caused by improper statements made by TV Guide, Inc. and an injunction
precluding TV Guide from any further violations of the Non-Disclosure
Agreement.
On July 29, 1999 the Company announced that it had signed definitive
agreements to form a joint venture with a subsidiary of Insight Communications
Company, Inc., ("Insight") subject to the parties' fulfillment of certain
closing conditions. Under the terms of the transaction, Source Media will
contribute its VirtualModem(TM) 2.5 software, the Interactive Channel's
gridless, server-based navigator, SourceGuide(SM), Local Source(SM) television
content and will manage the operations of the joint venture. Insight is
providing $13 million in equity financing for the new venture. Source Media and
Insight will each own 50% of the joint venture. In addition, Insight will
purchase 842,105 shares of Source Media's common stock for $14.25 per share,
representing approximately 6% of the issued and outstanding stock of the
Company. Gross proceeds will be $12.0 million. Source Media will also issue to
Insight warrants to purchase additional shares of Source Media's common stock at
$20 per share, representing approximately 20% of Source Media's fully diluted
equity. These warrants expire at the end of five years. At the close of the
transaction, Insight will be given representation on Source Media's Board of
Directors.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS
The Company or its representatives from time to time may make, or may
have made, certain forward-looking statements, whether orally or in writing,
including without limitation any such statements made, or to be made, in the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, press releases and other information contained in its various
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company wishes to
ensure that such statements are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements,
so as to ensure to the fullest extent possible the protections of the "safe
harbor" established in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Accordingly, such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to,
and are accompanied by, the following discussion of certain important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in
such forward-looking statements.
The Company cautions you that this list of factors does not describe
all of the risks of an investment in its common stock. The Company operates in a
rapidly changing business environment, and new risk factors continually emerge.
The Company cannot predict every risk factor, nor can they assess the impact of
all these risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those
projected in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely
upon forward-looking statements as a prediction of the Company's actual results.
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the Company's expectations are the Company's high degree of leverage and
its ability to service debt, the need for additional financing, the Company may
not have sufficient collateral to repay its indebtedness in full, the potential
for a change of control that would require the Company to purchase its notes and
preferred stock, historical and projected losses, risks related to the proposed
transaction with Insight, access to channels on cable systems and uncertainty of
subscriber acceptance, the uncertainty of a market for interactive television,
the availability of programming, our reliance on proprietary technology, the
further technical development needed to improve the economics of deploying
interactive television to multiple cable systems, a delay in digital roll-out,
the integration of technology with digital set-top boxes, competition within the
industry, the evolving nature of business, anti-takeover effects of a
shareholder rights plan, stock volatility, the market price of the Company's
common stock, the Company's ability to resolve Year 2000 issues in a timely
manner, reliance on key personnel, government regulation and other factors
discussed from time to time in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and
other Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

GENERAL
Source Media, Inc. operates through its subsidiaries Holdings, IT
Network, Interactive Channel and ICT in two business segments: IT Network and
Interactive TV.
IT Network sells advertising and related support services to clients
who sponsor a promotional message with interactive content supplied or otherwise
managed by IT Network. IT Network's products and services are distributed
primarily through the Company's publisher partners which include Yellow Page
directories and daily newspapers. IT Network's products and services are
available in North America, Hawaii and the Caribbean. Products and services are
also promoted and distributed over radio, television and the Internet.
The Company's Interactive TV business consists of the combined efforts
of the Interactive Channel and ICT subsidiaries. The Company has designed and is
developing proprietary software and interactive programming services that can
enable digital, two-way television systems equipped with digital (or advanced
analog) set-top boxes to deliver two-way, interactive programming with the touch
of a set-top remote or the use of a wireless keyboard.
On July 29, 1999 the Company announced that it had signed definitive
agreements to form a joint venture with a subsidiary of Insight Communications
Company, Inc. See further discussion of this transaction in Part II - OTHER
INFORMATION, Item 5 Other Information.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998.
Monetary revenues decreased 15% to $9.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from $11.0 million for the same period in 1998. This
decrease is primarily due to decreases of $1.4 million in system management and
information services and $0.2 million in advertising sales. In addition, the
1998 period included $0.1 million of revenues associated with an Interactive
Channel test market. There have been no such revenues in 1999. The decrease in
system management and information services is attributable to increased industry
competition, customers migrating to their own systems and Year 2000 hardware
issues at customers. Advertising sales decreased primarily due to a
reorganization of the sales department and delays in implementing new products
in 1999.
Monetary cost of sales increased 27% to $6.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from $5.3 million for the same period in 1998 as a result of
$1.4 million of expense recognized for anticipated payments to customers for
unmet sales guarantees on various advertising contracts and $0.2 million of cost
related to new products in 1999 partially offset by savings of $0.2 million in
page costs related to decreased advertising sales.
Nonmonetary revenues and nonmonetary cost of sales decreased 21% to
$0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Nonmonetary sales accounted
for 9% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
SG&A expenses increased 22% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to
$14.1 million from $11.6 million for the same period in 1998. The increase is
primarily due to expenses of $1.8 million resulting from legal and professional
fees related to the Prevue joint venture that were expensed
16
<PAGE> 17
after the termination of the Prevue deal, an increase of $0.5 million for
non-cash variable compensation expense for certain stock options granted to
certain executives in excess of shares authorized, increased legal expense of
$0.9 million primarily attributable to litigation described in Note 4 in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, $0.6 million of accrued severance to
certain employees offset by the elimination of transitional costs of $0.7
million related to the integration of acquired businesses incurred in 1998,
decreased trade advertising expenses of $0.3 million in 1999 and other SG&A
savings of $0.3 million.
Impairment of intangibles assets included in the prior year amount
relates to $25.9 million of write-offs of certain intangible assets related to
the Brite acquisition described in the Company's Form 10-K.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased 36% to $2.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 from $3.8 million for the same period in 1998 due
to a lower intangible asset balance resulting from the write-off in second
quarter 1998 of certain intangible assets related to the Brite acquisition
described in the Company's Form 10-K.
Research and development expenses increased 5% to $1.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 from $1.4 million for the same period in 1999 as
a result of increased software license fees and the development of the Company's
Internet products.
Interest expense remained unchanged at $6.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. This expense is associated with a $100 million
debt financing completed by the Company in October 1997 and described in detail
in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest income decreased 53% to $0.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 from $1.1 million for the same period in 1998 due to lower
investment and cash balances as a result of debt interest payments and normal
operating expenditures.
Preferred Stock dividends of $1.4 million and $1.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, relate to the $20 million
Preferred Stock financing completed by the Company in October 1997 and described
in detail in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
Monetary revenues decreased 24% to $4.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $5.8 million for the same period in 1998. This decrease
is primarily due to decreases of $0.9 million in advertising sales and $0.5
million in system management and information services. The decrease in system
management and information services is attributable to increased industry
competition, customers migrating to their own systems and Year 2000 hardware
issues at customers. Advertising sales decreased primarily due to a
reorganization of the sales department and delays in implementing new products.
17
<PAGE> 18
Monetary cost of sales increased 35% to $4.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $3.0 million for the same period in 1998 as a
result of $1.4 million of expense recognized for anticipated payments to
customers for unmet sales guarantees on various advertising contracts partially
offset by savings in page costs related to the decreased advertising sales.
Nonmonetary revenues and nonmonetary cost of sales remained relatively
flat at $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Nonmonetary sales
accounted for 10% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to 7% of revenues for the same period in 1998.
SG&A expenses increased 43% to $8.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 from $5.9 million for the same period in 1998. The increase is
primarily due to expenses of $1.8 million resulting from legal and professional
fees related to the Prevue joint venture expensed after the termination of the
Prevue deal, $0.4 million in increased non-cash variable compensation expense,
$0.4 million in increased legal expense and $0.6 million of accrued severance to
certain employees partially offset by $0.7 million of cost reductions in areas
such as trade advertising, consulting fees and other.
Impairment of intangibles assets included in the prior year amount
relates to $25.9 million of write-offs of certain intangible assets related to
the Brite acquisition described in the Company's Form 10-K.
Amortization of intangible assets remained unchanged at $1.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Research and development expenses of $0.7 million were consistent with
the three months ended June 30, 1999, as development levels remained constant
between the periods.
Interest expense remained unchanged at $3.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. This expense is associated with a $100
million debt financing completed by the Company in October 1997 and described in
detail in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest income decreased 50% to $0.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $0.5 million for the same period in 1998 due to lower
investment and cash balances as a result of debt interest payments and normal
operating expenditures.
Preferred Stock dividends of $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, relate to the $20
million Preferred Stock financing completed by the Company in October 1997 and
described in detail in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE
Since its inception, the Company has experienced substantial operating
losses and net losses as a result of its efforts to develop, deploy and support
IT Network and develop, conduct
18
<PAGE> 19
trials and commercially launch Interactive TV. As of June 30, 1999, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $170.8 million and had used cumulative net cash in
operations of $83.1 million. The difference at June 30, 1999, between the
accumulated deficit and cumulative net cash used in operations since inception
was attributable primarily to charges related to financing incentives and
extinguishment of debt, variable compensation expense, write-downs of analog
set-top boxes and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization and other
non-cash expenses. The effect of the lost customers associated with the Brite
acquisition will continue to have a negative impact on the Company's revenues
and profitability. The Company will continue to incur operating losses at least
through 1999, although it expects that cash generated in IT Network operations
excluding related interest expense will be sufficient to meet IT Network's
operating requirements. Any launch of the Company's television products and
services may require additional expenditures, which may require the Company to
raise additional capital.
The definitive agreement between the Company and Insight, provide,
among others, the following benefits to the Company: (i) at closing, the
Interactive TV research and development costs and certain other costs would
become costs of the joint venture; (ii) at closing, Insight would pay the
Company $12.0 million cash for 842,105 shares of common stock, and (iii) at
closing, Insight would receive warrants which Insight could exercise at any time
within five years to buy approximately 4.6 million shares of the Company's
common stock at $20.00 per share, which if fully exercised, would result in
proceeds of approximately $92.0 million and give Insight an approximate 20%
ownership of the Company. Requirements for closing the Insight transaction
include shareholder, bondholder and regulatory approval.
Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily
with $156.6 million raised from various financing activities, including the
incurrence of debt and issuance of the Company's common stock and preferred
stock. In October 1997, the Company issued $100.0 million of Senior Secured
Notes (the "Notes") and $20.0 million of preferred stock. The interest escrow
account created pursuant to the indenture has been and will be used to fund the
first four interest payments on the Notes. Interest payments from the interest
escrow account were made on May 1, 1998, November 1, 1998 and May 1, 1999. The
Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash, cash equivalents and
restricted investments, which totaled $13.9 million at June 30, 1999. This cash
position consisted of $6.0 million held in escrow for the November 1, 1999
interest payment and $7.9 million of operating cash. The Company's first
interest payment not currently held in escrow is due May 1, 2000.
The Company currently believes its resources will be sufficient to meet the
Company's anticipated cash needs for working capital and other capital
expenditures related to the Company's business and operations into the fourth
quarter of 1999. Upon the closing of the Insight transaction, the cost of
Interactive TV's operations will be funded by the joint venture. Additionally,
the Company will receive $12.0 million cash from the sale of common stock
related to the Insight transaction which is expected to adequately fund the
Company through at least the first interest payment on its debt, due on May 1,
2000. If the Insight transaction is not approved the Company would be required
to seek alternative financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to obtain such financing.
19
<PAGE> 20
The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including, but not limited to the following factors, some of which are outside
the Company's control: (i) the operating results of IT Network, including the
Company's ability to successfully integrate its acquired businesses into its
existing business, and to retain and grow its customer base, (ii) the success
and timing of the development, introduction and deployment of Interactive TV,
(iii) the extent to which the Company is able to generate revenues from
licensing its proprietary technology, (iv) the number of file servers and other
equipment which the Company purchases in support of Interactive TV, (v) the
levels of advertising expenditures necessary to increase awareness of
Interactive TV, (vi) the extent of market acceptance of the Company's products,
(vii) potential acquisitions or asset purchases, (viii) the deployment of
digital set-top boxes incorporating the Company's technology, (ix) the capital
required to address the Company's Year 2000 issue; (x) the proposed transaction
with Insight and (xi) competitive factors.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURES
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or
embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business
activities.
Based on recent assessments, the Company determined that it will be
required to modify or replace portions of its software and certain hardware so
that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The
Company presently believes that with modifications or replacements of existing
software and certain hardware, the Year 2000 issue can be mitigated. However, if
such modifications and replacements are not made, or are not completed in a
timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Company.
The Company's plan to resolve the Year 2000 issue involves the
following four phases: assessment, remediation, testing and implementation. To
date, the Company has completed its assessment of all systems that could be
significantly affected by the Year 2000. The Company's three operating
subsidiaries: ICT, Interactive Channel and IT Network as well as the corporate
unit were included in the assessment. The assessment indicated that most of the
Company's significant information technology systems could be affected. That
assessment also indicated that software and hardware (embedded chips) used in
the IT Network's interactive voice response systems also are at risk
(hereinafter referred to as operating systems). In addition, the Company is
gathering information about the Year 2000 compliance status of its significant
suppliers and subcontractors and is continuing to monitor their compliance.
Regarding its information technology, the Company is approximately 95%
complete on the remediation phase and expects to complete software reprogramming
and replacement for all systems no later than October 31, 1999. Once software is
reprogrammed or replaced for a system, the Company will begin testing and
implementation. These phases run concurrently for different systems. To date,
the Company has completed all of its testing and has implemented approximately
80% of its remediated systems. Completion of the testing phase for all
significant
20
<PAGE> 21
systems has occurred and all remediated systems are expected to by fully tested
and implemented by October 31, 1999.
The Company has initiated the remediation phase of its operating
equipment. The remediation of operating equipment is significantly more
difficult than the remediation of the information technology systems because
some of the software operating systems are no longer supported by the
manufacturers of that equipment. Testing of this equipment is also more
difficult than the testing of the information technology systems; the Company is
approximately 80% complete with the testing of its remediated operating
equipment. Once testing is complete, the operating equipment will be ready for
immediate use. The Company expects to complete its remediation of operating
equipment by October 31, 1999. Testing and implementation of affected equipment
is expected to be completed by October 31, 1999.
The Company is in the process of working with third party vendors to
ensure that the Company's systems that interface directly with third parties are
Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. The Company has completed
approximately 95% of its remediation efforts on these systems and is
approximately 90% complete with the testing phase. Testing of all significant
systems is expected no later than October 31, 1999. Implementation is
approximately 80% complete and is expected to be completed by August 31, 1999.
The Company is querying its significant suppliers and subcontractors
that do not share information systems with the Company (external agents). To
date, the Company is not aware of any external agent with a Year 2000 issue that
would materially impact the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or
capital resources. However, the Company has no means of ensuring that external
agents will be Year 2000 ready. The inability of external agents to complete
their Year 2000 resolution process in a timely manner could materially impact
the Company. The effect of non-compliance by external agents is not
determinable.
Additionally, the Company is exposed to the risk that customers may
elect to discontinue receiving telephone information services due to the
customer's equipment not being upgraded to address Year 2000 problems, although
various hardware and software solutions exist. This could result in a loss of
revenues to the Company.
The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to
reprogram, or replace, test, and implement the software and operating equipment
for Year 2000 modifications. The total cost of the Year 2000 project is
estimated at $1.0 million and is being funded through operating cash flows. To
date, the Company has incurred approximately $0.6 million, related to all phases
of the Year 2000 project. Of the total remaining project costs, approximately
$0.5 million is attributable to the purchase of new software and operating
equipment, which will be capitalized. The remaining $0.1 million relates to
repair of hardware and software that will be expensed as incurred.
Management of the Company believes it has an effective program in place
to resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. The Company has not yet
completed all necessary phases of the Year 2000 program. There can be no
assurance that the Company's efforts to solve its potential Year 2000 problems
will be successful, or even partially successful. In the event that
21
<PAGE> 22
the Company does not complete any additional phases, the Company may be unable
to take customer orders, provide services and products, invoice customers or
collect payments. In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting
from Year 2000 issues could also materially adversely affect the Company. The
Company could be subject to litigation for computer systems product failure,
equipment shutdown or failure to properly date business records. The amount of
potential liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.
The Company has contingency plans for certain critical applications and
is working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve manual
workarounds, telecommunication alternatives, staff adjustments and other
appropriate actions.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
At December 31, 1998, Holdings had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $87.4 million for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, which begin to
expire in 2003. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes
limitations on the use of net operating loss carryforwards if certain stock
ownership changes occur. Consequently, the Company's utilization of a portion of
the net operating losses is limited to approximately $9.0 million in a given
year.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates related primarily
to its Notes and Preferred Stock arrangements. Under its current policies, the
Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to
interest rate changes. At June 30, 1999, the Company had Notes outstanding of
$100.0 million, due November 1, 2004, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 12%
and Preferred Stock outstanding of $23.6 million due November 1, 2007, which
bears interest at a fixed rate of 13 1/2%. The fair value of the Notes and
Preferred Stock at June 30, 1999 was approximately $80.0 million and $17.6
million, respectively, based upon dealer quoted market prices.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
On May 11, 1998, ICT and Holdings filed an action in U.S. District
Court for the District of Delaware against WorldGate Communications, Inc.
("WorldGate") alleging that WorldGate has infringed four of the Company's
patents. Each party has filed a Motion to Dismiss certain claims and discovery
has been stayed until August 15, 1999. Trial is scheduled for November, 2000.
The Company intends to aggressively defend its patents.
On January 11, 1999, Brite Voice Systems, Inc. ("Brite") filed a
lawsuit against IT Network and Source Media (together with IT Network, the
"Brite Defendants") in the
22
<PAGE> 23
United States District Court for the District of Kansas. Brite alleged three
claims against the Brite Defendants: (1) breach of a September 23, 1997 Asset
Purchase Agreement for which Brite seeks recovery of alleged damages in an
amount in excess of $111,950.18; (2) breach of an October 30, 1997 Lease and
Service Agreement in connection with the September 23, 1997 Asset Purchase
Agreement, for which Brite seeks recovery of alleged damages in the amount of
$30,472.53; and (3) declaratory judgment pursuant to which Brite seeks a
declaration of rights in connection with all indemnity claims of which IT
Network has provided Brite written notice pursuant to the September 23, 1997
Asset Purchase Agreement. On April 23, 1999, the Company and Brite executed a
Settlement Agreement resulting in Brite voluntarily dismissing the case with
prejudice. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but do not adversely
affect the Company's results of operations or its financial condition.
On July 17, 1998, IT Network filed a lawsuit against a former employee
of Brite Voice Systems, Inc., Michael Shell ("Shell"), the two companies he
founded, Interactive Media Services, Inc. ("IMS") and Interactive Information
Services, LLC ("IIS"), and a third company called Talking Directories, Inc.
("TDI"). The lawsuit was filed in the Western District of Michigan and alleged
two causes of action, one for copyright infringement against all of the
defendants and a second for breach of contract against TDI. The Court granted IT
Network's Motion for Preliminary Injunction against all Defendants on August 14,
1998, preliminarily enjoining the defendants from further infringing IT
Network's catalogue and scripts. On December 3, 1998, IT Network filed a First
Amended Complaint which added a new claim against Shell, IMS and IIS for
copyright infringement of certain proprietary satellite broadcast software IT
Network acquired from Brite. Related cases were filed in Kansas state and
federal court by IT Network against Shell, IMS, IIS and certain former employees
of IT Network. On June 8, 1999, Shell, IMS and IIS signed a Broadcast Software
License Agreement with IT Network under which IT Network licensed certain IT
Network broadcast software and satellite broadcast protocols in exchange for a
monthly fee. All litigation in federal and state court in Michigan and Kansas
was settled by all the parties.
A total of fourteen class action complaints were filed against Source
Media and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Texas asserting violations of sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 of the accompanying
regulations. The fourteen complaints were consolidated by Judge Buchmeyer into
the first filed case, Hartsell, et al. v. Source Media, Inc., et al., Civil
Action No. 398-CV-1980-R (filed August 21, 1998), on October 9, 1998. Plaintiffs
filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint on March 3, 1999. Defendants filed a
motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint on April 19, 1999. Judge
Buchmeyer heard arguments on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss on July 14, 1999 and
denied the Motion. Defendants filed a motion seeking to certify the order for
immediate appeal by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Discovery is proceeding
pending a decision on the application for immediate appeal. Trial has been set
for June, 2000. The Company believes that all of these cases are without merit
and will vigorously defend itself and its officers and directors.
On October 6, 1998, Advanced Interactive, Inc. filed a complaint in
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division,
against ICT and the following companies: Matsushita Electric Corporation,
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., Sharp Electronics
23
<PAGE> 24
Corp., Sharp Corp., Thomson Consumer Electronics, Toshiba Consumer Products,
Inc., Toshiba America, Inc., Toshiba Corporation, General Instruments Corp.,
Scientific Atlanta, Inc., ATI Technologies, Inc., ADS Technologies Inc., Gateway
2000, Inc., STB Systems, Inc., Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc., WebTV Networks,
Inc. and WorldGate Communications, Inc. (collectively the "Advanced Interactive
Defendants"). Advanced Interactive alleges that ICT infringed two claims of one
of its patents by manufacturing, using and/or selling or offering to sell
"Sourceware(TM) ChannelLink(TM)". The same allegation is made against each
Advanced Interactive Defendant for its particular product or service. The
Plaintiff seeks damages, but makes no claims against the patents of ICT or any
other Advanced Interactive Defendant. ICT, and each of the Defendants, have
filed an Answer and have collectively joined the Motion for Partial Summary
Judgment submitted by Matsushita Electric Corporation of America, Sharp
Electronics Corp., Sharp Corp. and the Toshiba Defendants. On May 12, 1999 the
court denied Advanced Interactive's Motion for Summary Judgement of
Infringement. The court has not yet considered the Advanced Interactive
Defendant's collective Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. The Company believes
this case is totally without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
In addition, the Company is aware of certain claims against the Company
that have not developed into litigation, or if they have, are dormant, and in
any case are not expected to have a material adverse affect on the Company.
Further, the Company is party to ordinary routine litigation, none of which is
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations or its financial condition.

On July 29, 1999, Source Media, Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Insight Communications Company, Inc. ("Insight") entered into definitive
agreements to form a joint venture ("Newco") to conduct all the lines of
business currently conducted by the Company relating to its "VirtualModem" and
"Interactive Channel" products and businesses (the "Transferred Businesses").
The completion of the transaction is subject to the parties' fulfillment of
certain closing conditions.
Pursuant to the terms of a Common Stock and Warrants Purchase Agreement
(the "Purchase Agreement"), upon the formation of Newco, Insight will acquire
842,105 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 6% of
the issued and outstanding stock of the Company, for a purchase price of $12
million in cash. The Company will also issue to Insight five-year warrants to
acquire up to an additional 4,596,786 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $20.00 per share, representing, together with the
above-mentioned 842,105 shares of common stock, approximately 20% of the
Company's fully diluted equity. The Purchase Agreement contains provisions to
protect Insight's interest in the Company, including preemptive rights and board
representation. Initially, upon the closing of the transaction, the Company's
board of directors would consist of seven members, three of which would be
designated by Insight.
Under the terms of a Contribution Agreement (the "Contribution
Agreement"), Newco would be capitalized initially with a $13 million equity
infusion by Insight and with the Company's asset contribution described below.
Both Insight and the Company will receive a 50% equity ownership in Newco in
consideration for their contribution. The Company will assign all its right,
title and interest in and to the intellectual property that has application in
the VirtualModem and Interactive Channel businesses to Newco, to the extent
assignable, and will grant to Newco an exclusive, perpetual, royalty free,
irrevocable, worldwide license (the "Newco License"), with the right to
sublicense, to all of the intellectual property not freely assignable by the
Company, to the extent such intellectual property permits the grant of licenses,
except that in each case the intellectual property covered by such assignment
and license will specifically exclude any television programming content that is
developed in the future by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Newco will
grant back to the Company a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty free, irrevocable
worldwide license of the intellectual property used in the Company's businesses
other than the Transferred Businesses. In addition, the Company will transfer to
Newco all the equipment, intangible property and data, contract rights,
inventory and accounts receivable which have use in the Transferred Businesses
excluding any routine, general or non-unique assets.
The Company will serve as the manager of Newco and will manage the
day-to-day operations of Newco. However, certain special actions by Newco would
require approval of a four-member management committee. The Company and Insight
would have equal representation on the management committee. Such special
actions would include material deviations from Newco's business plan and budget,
issuance of additional equity, distributions to equity holders, asset sales and
other significant matters. The management agreement to be entered into between
the Company and Insight on the closing date will set forth the terms under which
the business of Newco will be conducted. Unless agreed to otherwise, the Company
will
25
<PAGE> 26
continue to provide all necessary services and business functions for Newco and
will be reimbursed for the related costs and expenses without any mark-up.
The management agreement will also contain provisions granting Newco
the sole and exclusive ownership of any inventions, improvements or
modifications, including any related intellectual property rights, which are
developed by employees, officers or other parties associated with the Company in
the performance of the management agreement.
The operating agreement to be entered into on closing by the Company
and Insight contemplates a "buy-sell" arrangement whereby either party,
following the fifth anniversary of the joint venture, may send to the other
party a notice specifying the value that the notifying party assigns to 100% of
the equity ownership of Newco. The notified party is then required to either
purchase the entire equity ownership from the notifying party or sell its entire
equity ownership to the notifying party, in each case using the valuation set
forth in the notice. The operating agreement provides for certain transfer
restrictions relating to Newco interests, drag-along and tag-along rights with
respect to such interests and rights upon a change in control of the Company.
The definitive agreements contemplate an affiliation agreement between
Newco and Insight relating to the carriage of the Interactive Channel over
Insight's cable television systems, as well as a license agreement granting
Insight an irrevocable license to use Newco's intellectual property in
connection with such cable television systems.
Until the date of the closing, the Company is prohibited from
participating in any substantive negotiations with any person or entity, other
than Insight or its affiliates, concerning a business combination, the
disposition of any of its material assets or, with certain exceptions, the
issuance of any of its securities.
All of the obligations of Insight are guaranteed by its parent, Insight
Communications Company, Inc.
Upon the completion of the transaction with Insight, substantially on
the terms set forth in this Form 10-Q, the Company's business will be subject to
additional risks, including the dilutive effect of shares and warrants to be
issued to Insight and the ability of NewCo to obtain distribution and
negotiate licensing arrangements for the Interactive Channel.
The consummation of the transaction will be subject to the approval of
the transaction from the Company's common stockholders, as well as from the
holders of its long-term debt and preferred stock and, any required clearance
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. We can give no
assurances that such conditions will be met and accordingly, that we will
consummate a transaction with Insight on the terms contained in this Form 10-Q,
or at all.
