OVERVIEW
YouthStream Media Networks, Inc., through its subsidiaries (together,
"YouthStream" or the "Company"), is a leading cross-platform media, marketing
services and retail company that targets teenagers and young adults ages 12 to
24. During fiscal 2001, YouthStream reorganized its operations into two market
segments: media and retail.
Through its media segment, YouthStream provides its clients with advertising,
marketing and promotions solutions that are targeted, integrated and, management
believes, more efficient than mass media alternatives at reaching the youth
audience. YouthStream's media segment operates primarily in schools and on and
near school campuses where students congregate. YouthStream maintains more than
22,000 proprietary "out-of-home" media distribution locations at more than 2,000
universities and colleges and 9,000 high schools and middle schools in the
United States. YouthStream also provides clients with the ability to advertise
online through its operation of the web site Teen.com, an award-winning Internet
destination for teenagers.
YouthStream's broad portfolio of assets and capabilities enables it to offer
programs that serve a large and diverse client base that includes more than 250
leading national advertisers in categories such as packaged goods, recruiting,
automotive, fashion, financial services, health and beauty and technology. Among
YouthStream's media clients in fiscal 2001 were Proctor & Gamble, Ford Motor
Company, AT&T, Sony/Columbia Pictures, ABC, The Coca-Cola Company, Motorola, The
Wall Street Journal, DKNY, Snapple, BMW, HBO and Seventeen Magazine.
YouthStream also operates a youth-oriented retail business, selling decorative
wall posters and related items through two distribution channels: on-campus
sales events and a nationwide chain of retail stores operating under the Beyond
the Wall(R) brand. Through these retail channels, YouthStream has become a
leading retailer of decorative wall posters to the young adult market.
COMPANY STRUCTURE
Founded in 1995 as Network Event Theater, Inc., the Company held its initial
public offering ("IPO") in 1996. In February 2000, Network Event Theater, Inc.
("NET") was reorganized and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of a
newly-established Delaware holding company, YouthStream Media Networks, Inc.
Headquartered in New York, New York, YouthStream's wholly-owned operating
subsidiaries are, in addition to NET: American Passage Media, Inc. ("American
Passage"); Trent Graphics, Inc. ("Trent"); and W3T, Inc. ("Teen.com").
A detailed discussion of the Company's acquisition history and organization can
be found in the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on
page F5.
1
TARGET MARKET
Through its media segment, YouthStream targets clients seeking to reach 12 to 24
year-olds with entertainment, advertising and promotional messages.
These teenagers and young adults represent approximately 17% of the nation's
total population or 47.4 million individuals according to April 2000 U.S. Census
Bureau estimates, and control over $200 billion in direct purchasing power
annually. YouthStream believes the youth market is highly desirable to
advertisers because teens and young adults are receptive to new ideas and
products, are in a formative stage with respect to building brand loyalties,
have significant disposable income and are the next generation of consumers.
Advertisers seeking to reach this young adult market spend approximately $30
billion annually.
YouthStream targets this same audience for its retail business segment because
of all the reasons stated above.
MEDIA SEGMENT: PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Through its comprehensive portfolio of on-campus media assets and national
marketing services capabilities, YouthStream provides its clients with
unparalleled access to the youth market, with substantial cost efficiencies. Its
knowledge of the young adult market enables its clients to benefit from a wide
range of turnkey, customized and high impact programs. In fiscal 2001,
YouthStream generated approximately 63% of its revenues from its media segment.
Event Marketing
YouthStream's event marketing division performs a wide range of services for
clients. These services include developing, planning and executing custom events
and customer acquisition programs, as well as offering clients the opportunity
to participate in proprietary events conducted through its on-campus theater
division and other Company initiatives. During fiscal 2001, YouthStream's event
marketing business represented over 60 clients on more than 560 college
campuses, and reached seven million young people.
YouthStream's custom events are exciting programs targeted to address specific
client needs and brand objectives. Programs range from national vehicle tours to
single campus events. Other major events are conducted annually off campuses,
including at major student destinations during Spring Break and Mardi Gras, and
throughout the year in urban areas, malls, and at venues such as concerts,
beaches, and sporting events. Custom events typically feature client
advertising, including banners, mass flyer distribution, and branded vehicle
wraps; games to generate product awareness; and product sampling programs, which
provide a targeted and effective method of driving product trial and purchase,
and establishing brand loyalty.
YouthStream's customer acquisition business offers clients the ability to
intercept teenagers and young adults through sign-up programs, allowing clients
such as financial services, telecommunications and publishing companies to
obtain applicants for their products and services. The Company's extensive
nationwide network of field representatives is able to efficiently administer
sign-up events virtually anywhere young adults congregate.
During fiscal 2001, YouthStream also developed a number of proprietary event
marketing programs that the Company expects to launch during fiscal 2002. These
events provide a forum to showcase advertisers' products and services. The
Company's ThunderDorm(SM) Experience tour, scheduled to take place on college
campuses in Fall 2001, celebrates the latest and most interactive technology
intersecting the college lifestyle. Other YouthStream promotions will take place
targeting teens in malls and college students at Spring Break. The Company plans
to generate revenues from these programs by selling sponsorships and other
related media to advertisers.
YouthStream also conducts event marketing and advertising campaigns for clients
via its proprietary network of on-campus theaters ("Theaters"), consisting of
more than 100 major universities and colleges across the country. To generate
revenues, YouthStream partners with the country's largest movie production
studios, such as New Line Cinema, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures Entertainment,
Universal Pictures, and Paramount Pictures to create on-campus advance-screening
and marketing promotions targeting the young adult market. YouthStream obtains
revenues both from these studio partners, which contract with the Company to
plan and supervise national collegiate field marketing activities, and from
large national consumer
2
products advertisers, which augment studio screenings with their branding,
sampling and event marketing activities. The Company has concentrated on
establishing its Theaters at large enrollment colleges and universities located
in key markets that it believes enhance the Theaters' appeal to programmers,
sponsors and advertisers. The combined enrollment of campuses where Theaters are
installed totals 2.3 million.
Forty-nine of the network schools feature closed-circuit satellite and digital
projection technologies that allow YouthStream to simulcast movies, concerts,
featured speakers and other live events to student audiences nationwide.
Theaters with these satellite capabilities are installed on campuses with a
total enrollment exceeding 1.2 million. The Company believes this is the only
national network of digital satellite movie theaters on college and university
campuses.
The Company conducted 12 events at Theaters during the 2000-2001 academic year.
Average attendance at each event totaled approximately 20,000 students.
Media Planning and Buying
YouthStream's college newspaper network serves as a leading advertisement
placement service network, providing clients with the ability to run advertising
in over 1,700 college and graduate school newspapers, with a combined
circulation over 7 million, on campuses with total enrollment of 13 million
students. YouthStream's assets in print advertising include an exclusive
database containing information about every major college newspaper, allowing
the Company to provide creative development, marketing and research assistance,
and to customize programs for clients by targeting school type, student
demographics, degree programs, and other criteria.
Out-of-Home
YouthStream provides clients with unique and proprietary vehicles for delivering
advertising messages through its "Out-of-Home" media programs, directed to
students in the campus environment. YouthStream works directly with school
administrators and campus organizations to achieve placement of the Out-of-Home
media vehicles. With more than 22,000 Out-of-Home media distribution locations
at more than 2,000 universities and colleges, and 9,000 high schools and middle
schools throughout the United States, the Company believes this to be the
nation's largest campus-based Out-of-Home advertising network.
YouthStream's high school wallboards ("GymBoards(R)") allow clients to place
advertisements on gender specific message and information centers installed in
boys' and girls' high school and middle school locker rooms. With over 18,000
customized message boards and information centers located inside over 9,000
middle and high school locker rooms nationwide, YouthStream's GymBoards network
reaches a combined total enrollment in excess of 7.5 million students. The
Company believes GymBoards to be the nation's largest Out-of-Home media network
located in high schools and middle schools.
YouthStream's college wallboard network ("Campus Voice(R)") consists of more
than 4,000 metal-framed, Plexiglass-enclosed wallboards installed in
high-traffic locations on over 500 university and college campuses. In operation
for over 15 years on campuses with a combined total enrollment of over 3.7
million students, the Company believes its college campus network is the
nation's largest and most established. Partnering advertisers with editorial
content provided by top publications targeting the young adult audience,
advertising messages and editorial content are rotated monthly during the school
year.
YouthStream's poster advertising service provides clients with a cost-effective
method for reaching students in their own environments via bulletin boards on
campuses nationwide, a powerful and proven direct response vehicle.
YouthStream's national postering service has the capability to post advertising
messages on over 2,200 campuses, with the ability to reach more than 10 million
students nationwide. In operation for over 20 years, the Company believes it
operates the nation's most established and experienced national campus postering
services business.
YouthStream's postcard advertising network ("HotStamp(R)") provides clients with
the opportunity to have customized advertising messages produced and placed in
250 postcard racks at 175 colleges and universities nationwide. Postcard racks
are strategically installed at high-visibility sites including college
bookstores, student centers, and popular college hangouts. The Company believes
that these racks represent the largest campus-based network of free postcard
distribution racks nationwide.
3
YouthStream's network of college newspaper advertising stands ("AdRox(R)")
allows advertisers to place messages strategically on the headers of more than
2,000 campus newspaper distribution racks at over 275 colleges and universities
nationwide. Placed in the highest-traffic campus locations, this network reaches
a total enrollment of over 3.3 million students.
Internet
The Company's Teen.com website offers clients the ability to reach teenagers
online. During fiscal 2001, Teen.com won the Editor's Choice Award from PC
Magazine as the "Best of The Web" teen site. Teen.com also received recognition
as the No. 1 Information Site for 2001 from Teen People Magazine. Teen.com
differentiates itself from the competition by featuring relevant yet responsible
content targeted to teens.
Media Strategy
Since inception, the Company's media strategy has been to offer media and
marketing services programs to its clients that target youth where they live, go
to school and play. After its IPO, the Company concluded a series of
acquisitions that enabled it to quickly develop the necessary portfolio of
properties and infrastructure to implement this strategy. The Company's initial
focus was to utilize its assets to sell "multi-channel" programs to clients
interested in turnkey and targeted advertising solutions. The Company plans to
continue developing its media businesses to reach more of the nation's
teenagers, to reach more youth off-campus, and to reach teenagers and young
adults increasingly through larger, Company-designed proprietary events.
First, to reach more teenagers, the Company has been executing and plans to
conduct more events in malls and high schools where teenagers congregate, among
other things.
Second, to reach more youth off-campus, the Company has broadened the number and
location of venues in which it conducts business on behalf of its clients,
particularly in the event marketing area. The Company expects to continue to
expand its operations at social, sporting, and other events and venues
nationwide where young people interact.
Third, the Company increasingly has focused its sales force on selling more
integrated media solutions to clients - leveraging its products and services -
rather than selling individual products or services. The Company expects that
this strategy will continue to increase its average revenues per sale.
The Company also believes there may be growth opportunities in the consolidation
of companies targeting teenagers and young adults. From time to time, the
Company may consider acquisition opportunities that leverage its existing
strengths, broaden its customer base, reduce seasonal effects on its media
business or increase market share.
RETAIL SEGMENT: PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
YouthStream believes it operates the nation's largest retailer of decorative
wall posters sold to teens and young adults. Currently, the Company's
merchandise is available at on-campus sales events, in retail stores, and via
the Internet. In fiscal 2001, the Company's retail segment generated
approximately 37% of the Company's revenues.
On-Campus College Poster Shows
The Company believes that it operates the largest network of on-campus poster
shows ("Sales Events") in the nation's college market. In fiscal 2001, more than
five million students participated in the Company's Sales Events, on more than
650 campuses nationwide. Student visitors to these Sales Events purchased more
than 775,000 posters and other items, choosing from approximately 2,000 posters,
prints and other merchandise, generating approximately 60% of the Company's
retail segment revenues for fiscal 2001.
Retail Store Operations; Online Sales
The Company also operates retail poster stores primarily in college towns and
major urban areas around the country, under the Beyond the Wall(R) name
("Stores"). As of June 30, 2001, the Company operated 31 Stores in cities
including: Ann Arbor, MI; Athens, GA; Berkeley, CA; Bloomington, IN; Boulder,
CO; Burlington, VT; Champaign, IL; Chicago, IL; Cincinnati; OH, East Lansing,
MI; Ithaca, NY; Knoxville, TN; Lexington, KY; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY;
North Hampton, MA; Philadelphia, PA; Seattle, WA; State College, PA; and
Washington, D.C. Stores range from 900 to 3600 square feet and each
4
typically features over 5,000 posters on a rotating basis. Approximately 40% of
the Company's retail segment revenues were generated by Stores during fiscal
2001.
Through its website beyondthewall.com, the Company also offers thousands of
posters and artwork via the Internet.
Retail Strategy
The Company's retail strategy consists of several primary initiatives. First,
the Company plans to continue expanding the number of stores it operates, to 58
stores by the end of fiscal 2002.
Second, the Company also plans to broaden the range of locations where it
operates stores to include more stores in regional malls and urban areas. To
achieve this growth, the Company has installed three dedicated teams of
employees to identify new store locations nationwide. The Company's planned
growth in the number of stores it operates is designed to increase overall
revenues generated by the Company's retail segment.
Third, the Company plans to increase the profitability of its Stores by testing
a variety of new product lines, including inexpensive silver jewelry popular
among teens and young adults. By expanding its merchandise, the Company hopes to
increase store traffic, sell additional merchandise to its existing customers,
broaden its customer base, and decrease the seasonality of the Company's retail
segment.
Finally, the Company may expand the selling seasons or product mix of its
on-campus Sales Events.
Discontinued Businesses
During fiscal 2001, YouthStream discontinued operations of two online
properties, which had constituted its online business segment in fiscal 2000,
and two offline media properties.
The Company discontinued the operations of its sixdegrees.com web site in
December 2000. In May 2001, the Company also discontinued its application
service provider initiative to market and sublicense technology it purchased
through the acquisition of sixdegrees, inc., Invino Corporation, CollegeWeb,
Inc., and CommonPlaces, LLC ("CommonPlaces") in fiscal 2000.
The Company's postcards division operated a "cities program" which distributed
advertising through racks installed in more than 1,900 urban venues. YouthStream
sold these racks in June 2001 and discontinued its cities program.
The Company's Beyond the Wall division published and distributed an "Ads as Art"
catalog. The Company discontinued publication of this catalog in May 2001.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Company has registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
the names "YouthStream Media Networks," "Y YouthStream Media Networks" (and the
YouthStream logo), "NET Network Event Theater," "NET" (and the NET logo),
"American Passage," "GymBoards," "AdRaX," "Campus Voice," "Campus Voice"
(stylized), "Beyond the Wall," and "HotStamp" in connection with its media
businesses.
The Company also has pending trademark/service mark applications with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office in connection with various new businesses.
These include: "FUND-U," "TEENSCREEN," and "THUNDERDORM."
Teen.com has protected its brand name by obtaining the exclusive right to the
domain name "Teen.com" from Network Solutions, Inc., and using the service mark
"THE PLACE FOR TEENS" in connection with the Teen.com website.
The Company's rights in these marks may be a significant part of its business.
The Company is not aware of any claims of infringement or other challenges to
its rights to use these marks, although the Company is aware of numerous other
registrations of the mark NET. There can be no assurance the Company's marks do
not or will not infringe the proprietary rights of others, that the Company's
marks would be upheld if challenged, or that the Company would not be prevented
from using its marks.
5
In January 2001, the Company received a patent titled "Method and Apparatus for
Constructing a Networking Database and System." The application for this patent
was filed in 1997 and relates to the technology that was underlying the
sixdegrees website.
The Company does not hold any copyright registrations.
The Company regards its patents, service marks, trademarks, trade dress, trade
secrets, proprietary technology and similar intellectual property as important
to its success, and relies on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret
protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with its employees,
customers, independent contractors, sponsors, and others to protect its
proprietary rights. The Company strategically pursues the registration of its
trademarks and service marks. However, effective patent, trademark, service
mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available. There can be
no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our proprietary rights will
be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our
patents, trademarks, trade secrets, trade dress and similar proprietary rights.
In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not independently
develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. In addition, litigation
may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to
protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs
and diversion of financial and managerial resources, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
COMPETITION
Media
The Company's media business faces competition for the advertising revenues of
advertisers and sponsors from other similar companies and from other media such
as radio, television, print media, direct mail marketing and the Internet. The
Company also competes with a wide variety of other advertising media, the range
and diversity of which has increased substantially over the past several years
to include advertising displays in shopping centers and malls, airports,
stadiums, movie theaters and supermarkets, as well as on taxis, trains, buses
and subways. Some of the Company's competitors, principally in other media such
as radio and television, are substantially larger, better capitalized and have
access to greater resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully with such other companies and
media.
Retail
The retail decorative wall poster industry for teens and young adults is both
highly competitive and fragmented. We believe that the principal bases upon
which we compete are selection, quality, price, store location and service. We
compete with other sellers of decorative art, some of which are more established
better capitalized or have access to greater resources than the Company.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
successfully with such other companies.
Seasonal Effects on the Company's Business
The seasonality of our media and retail businesses affects our profitability.
Since our products are most often purchased during the academic school year
primarily from August through October, we experience substantial seasonality in
our sales and profitability during the year.
PERSONNEL
Media
As of July 31, 2001, the Company employed 124 full-time employees and 6
part-time employees in connection with its media operations. None of these
employees is represented by a collective bargaining unit, and the Company
believes that relations with these employees are good.
6
Retail
As of July 31, 2001, the Company employed 100 full-time employees and 92
part-time employees in connection with its retail operations. None of these
employees are represented by a collective bargaining unit, and the Company

Cambridge and Acton, Massachusetts; Seattle, Washington; Los Angeles,
California; Chicago, Illinois; Tempe, Arizona; and Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
The Company also maintains short term leases for retail stores, which range from

own the Company's common stock in street name. To date, the Company has not
declared or paid any dividends on its common stock. The payment by the Company
of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the board of directors and
will depend on the Company's earnings, if any, its capital requirements and
financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. The board of directors
does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future but instead
intends to retain earnings for use in the Company's business operations.
In May 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to make open market
purchases of the Company's common stock aggregating up to $2 million. As of June

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto. The following discussion contains certain
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences may include, but are not limited
to, the Company's ability to execute its business plan in a timely manner, the
Company's management of growth, its ability to negotiate retail store leases on
favorable terms, its ability to maintain favorable relationships with the
schools where the Company conducts business, the ability to hire, train and
retain qualified personnel, new laws and regulations applicable to the Company's
and its clients' business including laws relating to issues such as privacy,
data collection, advertising, content regulation, and taxation, changing
consumer tastes and the impact of competitive products and pricing, conditions
in the markets in which the Company conducts business including the advertising,
media and retail markets and general economic conditions. The Company undertakes
no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or
circumstances.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable from
period to period due to acquisition and discontinued activities. The following
financial analysis compares the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 with the
twelve months ended June 30, 2000 and compares the twelve months ended June 30,
2000 with the twelve months ended June 30, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATION

Year Ended June 30, 2001 Compared with Year Ended June 30, 2000
In order to make more meaningful comparisons with fiscal 2000's full-year
results, adjustments for "contributed media revenue," HotStamp cities program
and Beyond the Wall have been made. Contributed media revenue was recognized
last year as a result of the Company's acquisition of a 48 percent minority
interest in CommonPlaces. After acquiring the remaining 52 percent in February
2000, contributed media revenue was no longer recognized. In fiscal 2001, the
Company

discontinued its HotStamp cities program and Beyond the Wall catalog and, as
such, their revenues were excluded from the adjusted revenue. The following
table represents revenue adjusted for contributed media, HotStamp cities program
and Beyond the Wall revenues.

Adjusted Revenue $ 25,098 $ 21,195
=====================
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, adjusted net revenues were $25,098
compared to $21,195 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. The revenue
growth of $3,903 was attributable to an increase of retail of $2,366 and an
increase in the media segment of $1,537. Revenue growth in the Company's retail
segment was attributable to the increase in the number of stores opened by the
Company and same store growth. Media revenue growth was attributable to the
event marketing business.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, cost of sales was $15,043 as compared
to $12,838 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. The increase of $2,205 was
due to an increase of $1,540 in the media segment and a $665 increase in the
retail segment. Specifically, the acquisition of Teen.com during July 2000
accounted for all of the increase in the media segment. The increase in the
retail segment was a function of increased revenue.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $21,749 as compared to $14,811 for the twelve months ended June
30, 2000. The increase of $6,938 was due to an increase of $2,738 in the media
segment and $4,200 in the retail segment. The media segment increase was
primarily due to the acquisition of Teen.com. The retail segment increase of
$4,200 was due to $2,800 of one-time costs related to the acquisition of Trent
and the remaining $1,400 due to increased expenses related to expansion of the
retail store chain.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, corporate expenses were $8,163 as
compared to $6,041 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. The increase of
$2,122 includes $1,100 related to the cost of expanding the senior management
team, $500 related to the exploration of a venture in the People's Republic of
China, and $522 relating to severance and moving expenses.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, depreciation and amortization
expenses were $5,487 ($2,299 in Cost of Sales) as compared to $3,500 ($1,648 in
Cost of Sales) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. The increase of $1,987
includes $1,459 related to the amortization of Teen.com goodwill, as Teen.com
was acquired in July 2000. The remaining increase of $528 was due to the
increased fixed assets in the media segment as well as the additional stores in
the retail segment.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, impairment loss on assets was
$10,680. This entailed a charge of $4,750 for the write-down of a promotional
credit that was acquired by the Company when it purchased sixdegrees, inc., a
write-down of $1,845 for the remaining HotStamp(R) assets, a write-down of $317
on the remaining goodwill of Beyond the Wall(R) and a write-down of $3,768 of
goodwill relating to Teen.com.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, there was no equity loss on
investment as compared to $2,890 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. The
2000 loss represents the Company's minority interest share of the loss in
CommonPlaces.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, interest income was $2,131 as
compared to $1,617 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. The increase of
$514 was due to interest income earned on increased cash balances resulting from
the issuance of debt and the sale of common stock.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, interest expense was $3,169 as
compared to $1,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. The increase of
$2,169 was primarily related to the increase in long-term debt.
10
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, loss from discontinued operations was
$40,606 as compared to $39,865 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. The
twelve months ended June 30, 2001, loss from discontinued operations of $40,606
represent operating losses for the online segment from July to the December 2000
measurement date. The twelve months ended June 30, 2000, loss from discontinued
operations of $39,865 represent operating losses for the online segment incurred
during the period January to June 2000.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, loss on disposal of discontinued
operations was $163,953. The loss on disposal primarily represents the
write-down of net assets, including goodwill of the online segment and provision
for operating losses during the phase-out period. The final disposal occurred
during the twelve months ended June 30, 2001.
Year Ended June 30, 2000 Compared with Year Ended June 30, 1999
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, net revenues were $28,221 as compared
to $13,266 in the prior year. The increase of $14,955 was primarily due to the
acquisition of Trent, which accounted for $7,520 of the increase. Additionally,
contributed media revenues for CommonPlaces accounted for $2,890 of the
increase. The remaining $4,545 was primarily due to increased sales in postcard,
event marketing, Gymboards(R), postering, campus wallboards, and theater
operations as well as the full year impact of the HelloXpress, Inc. acquisition,
which was completed in June 1999.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, cost of goods sold was $12,838 as
compared to $8,375 in the prior year. $1,765 of the cost of goods sold related
to Trent's operations, which was acquired during 2000. The remaining increase of
$2,698 related to increased levels of revenue in the media segment.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $14,811 as compared to $7,514 in the prior year. The increase of
$7,297 was primarily due to the acquisition of Trent, which accounted for $5,835
of the increase. The remaining increase of $1,462 was due to increased level of
sales and administrative staff to support the increase in revenues.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, corporate expenses were $6,041 as
compared to $4,510 in the prior year. The increase of $1,531 was primarily due
to the cost incurred in terminating an operating lease, which accounted for
$1,666 of the increase which was offset by the net of the $425 increase of
corporate personnel and related overhead expenses and the $560 decrease in bonus
expense.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, depreciation and amortization was
$3,500 as compared to $2,186 in the prior year. The increase of $1,314 was
primarily due to the additional amortization of goodwill of Trent, HelloXpress,
Inc., and CollegeWeb, Inc.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 1999, impairment loss on equipment was
$825. The loss was the result of determination by management that certain
theater and location based media equipment no longer had remaining economic
life.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, equity loss in investment was $2,890
as compared to $51 in the prior year, representing the Company's minority
interest share of the loss in CommonPlaces. Subsequent to the acquisition in
February 2000 of the interests in CommonPlaces not previously owned by NET, the
operations of CommonPlaces were included in the Company's results on a
consolidated basis as part of the loss from discontinued operations.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, interest income was $1,617 as
compared to $425 in the prior year. The increase of $1,192 was due to interest
income earned on increased cash balances resulting primarily from the sale of
additional common stock.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, other income of $64 primarily
represented licensing fees relating to CollegeWeb, Inc. and Invino Corp. due
from CommonPlaces, prior to its merger with the Company.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, interest expense was $1,000 as
compared to $1,119 in the prior year. The decrease of $119 primarily related to
a decrease in the average amount of long-term debt in 2000.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, provision for income taxes was $493
as compared to $185 in the prior year for taxes primarily based on net assets
and net revenues.
11
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, net loss was $49,888 as compared to
$9,190 in the prior year. The increase of $40,698 primarily relates to the
discontinued operations of its online segments. The increase was also a result
of increased cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses,
corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense,
partially offset by increased revenues, other income, interest income and a
reduction in impairment loss on equipment.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company used approximately $20.9 million of cash in operating activities in
2001, primarily funding its discontinued segments as well as its operating
losses from its continuing business. The Company funded its operations with cash
generated by the sale of investments in marketable debt securities.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $14.9 million in cash and
equivalents. The Company believes that such amounts plus an additional amount of
$5.7 million, which represents investments in marketable debt securities with
maturities of less than one year, will be sufficient to fund working capital,
including debt service and interest expense, at least through the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2002. In the event that the Company's plans and assumptions for
each of its operations, with regard to the Company's ability to fund operations,
working capital, capital expenditures and debt repayments, prove to be
inaccurate, the Company could be required to seek additional financing. The
Company's ability to improve its operations will be subject to prevailing
economic conditions and to legal, financial, business, regulatory, industry and
other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company may
also seek additional debt or equity financing to develop or acquire additional
media and marketing services businesses and retail expansion or to fund its
operations. To the extent that the Company finances its requirements through the
issuance of additional equity securities, any such issuance would result in
dilution to the interests of the Company's stockholders.
Additionally, to the extent that the Company incurs indebtedness or issues debt
securities in connection with financing activities, the Company will be subject
to all of the risks associated with incurring substantial indebtedness,
including the risk that interest rates may fluctuate and cash flow may be
insufficient to pay principal and interest on any such indebtedness. The Company
has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional
financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be
available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.
The Company currently projects over thirty-five percent increase in revenues in
fiscal year 2002 in both the media and retail segments. Growth in the media
segment is expected to be broad based but driven primarily by event marketing
and promotions. These projections assume improvement in the advertising market
and continued growth in the Company's retail operations, among other things. The
retail segment revenue growth is comprised of same store year-over-year growth,
new store openings and price increases for the campus sales events. The Company
also projects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") to be positive in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and in the full
fiscal year 2002 due to projected increase in revenues, as well as projected
improvements in operating margins. The projected EBITDA improvement is expected
to reduce cash consumption below $7.0 million in fiscal year 2002 including an
expected $3.0 million of capital investments in the business. The Company
expects a net loss of less than $10.0 million. The Company projects that it will
sustain its revenue growth momentum through fiscal year 2003, which should
result in improved EBITDA, sufficient to generate positive cash flow and
positive net income in fiscal year 2003.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors
YouthStream Media Networks, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of YouthStream
Media Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") as of June 30, 2001 and
2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and
changes in stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed
in the Index at item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We have conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
YouthStream Media Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2001 and 2000, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the
related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

YOUTHSTREAM MEDIA NETWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2001
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
YouthStream Media Networks, Inc. ("YouthStream"), and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, (collectively, the "Company"). The Company's operations consist of
Network Event Theater, Inc. ("NET"), American Passage Media, Inc. ("American
Passage"), Campus Voice, Inc. ("Campus Voice"), Beyond the Wall, Inc. ("Beyond
the Wall"), Trent Graphics, Inc. ("Trent") and W3T.com, Inc. ("Teen.com"). In
December 2000, the Company discontinued the operations of CommonPlaces, LLC
("CommonPlaces"), sixdegrees, inc., ("sixdegrees"), CollegeWeb.com, Inc.
("CollegeWeb") and Invino Corporation ("Invino") See Note 3. - Discontinued
Operations.
YouthStream Media Networks, Inc. through its subsidiaries, is a leading
cross-platform media, marketing services and retail company that targets
teenagers and young adult ages 12 to 24. During fiscal 2001, YouthStream
reorganized into two market segments: media and retail.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany items and
transactions have been eliminated.
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE DEBT SECURITIES
Cash and equivalents include all cash, demand deposits, money market accounts,
and debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less. Marketable debt securities are debt instruments purchased with maturities
of between three and nine months. The Company's investment in debt securities,
including those held in cash equivalents, are classified as securities
held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash includes money market accounts that are used as collateral for
letters of credit. The letters of credit are issued for security deposits on
property and equipment leases.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain expenses of the media business segment previously included in selling,
general and administrative expenses and in depreciation and amortization have
been reclassified as cost of sales. Such reclassifications were $12,613,000,
$11,073,000, and $8,375,000 for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a
first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist primarily of posters and related
products.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the term of the related debt.
Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs at June 30, 2001 and 2000
are approximately $1,105,000 and $355,000, respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and
equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. These lives are estimated to be three to five years for
network theater equipment; six years for location-based media equipment, and
three to five years for furniture and office equipment. Leasehold improvements
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the
related lease or the lives of the related improvements. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
In accordance with Financial Accounting and Standards Board ("FASB") Statement
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in
F-8
operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be
impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. During 1999, events
and circumstances indicated that certain network theater equipment and
location-based media equipment were impaired. As such, the Company wrote down
the value of such assets by approximately $825,000 to their fair value. Fair
value was based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by
the aforementioned assets.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets represent acquisition costs in excess of the net assets of
businesses acquired and a covenant not-to-compete, which are amortized on a
straight-line basis ranging from 3 to 15 years. Accumulated amortization of
intangible assets at June 30, 2001 and 2000 is approximately $2,861,000 and
$2,351,000, respectively.
It is the Company's policy to account for intangible assets at the lower of
amortized cost or estimated realizable value. As part of an ongoing review of
the valuation and amortization of intangible assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries, management assesses the carrying value of the intangible assets
periodically in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted
cash flows of the underlying businesses.
LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
As of June 30, 2001, the Company determined that the fair market values of the
goodwill and certain other long-lived assets for Beyond the Wall, HotStamp, and
Teen.com were below their carrying values. As a result, the Company recorded an
impairment charge of approximately $5,930,000. Additionally, the Company
determined that it was unlikely that $4,750,000 of a prepaid marketing asset
would ever be utilized. Such amount was also recorded as a charge as of June 30,
2001. The aforementioned charges have been recorded as a loss on impairment of
assets in the statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2001.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's primary source of revenue is derived from the sale of advertising
space in media, which is owned either by the Company or by third parties and by
the sale of marketing services. Revenue is generally recognized in the month of
media publication and in the case of marketing services, the month such services
are provided. Retail revenue is derived from the sale of merchandise to
consumers on college campuses and stores. Retail revenue is recognized at the
time of sale to the consumer.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense from
continuing operations for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were
approximately $851,000, $263,000 and $459,000, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are
provided for differences between the carrying amounts of the Company's assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income
tax purposes.
NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company calculates net loss per share as required by SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
per Share." Basic earnings per share excludes any dilution for common stock
equivalents and is computed on the basis of net loss divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options or other
securities or contracts entitling the holder to acquire shares of common stock
were exercised or converted, resulting in the issuance of additional shares of
common stock that would then share in earnings. However, diluted earnings per
share does not consider such dilution if its effect would be antidilutive.
Certain options and warrants that are currently antidilutive may be dilutive in
the future.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company generally grants stock options to employees for a fixed number of
shares with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the
shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees", and, accordingly, recognizes compensation
expense only if the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the
exercise price of the stock option on the date of grant. The Company believes
the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123") requires the use of
option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee
stock options. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company
F-9
continues to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion
No. 25 and has elected the pro forma disclosure alternative of SFAS No. 123.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company routinely
assesses the financial strength of its customers and requires collateral or
other security to support customer receivables when necessary. Credit losses are
provided for in the consolidated financial statements in the form of an
allowance for doubtful accounts. Management believes the Company has ample
coverage for bad debt and will continue to review the collectibility of its
receivables.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, with early adoptions permitted for companies
with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill
and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the
Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives.
The Company is currently evaluating its goodwill and other intangible assets in
relation to the provisions of SFAS 142 to determine the impact, if any, the
adoption of SFAS 142 will have on its results of operations. The Company will
perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and other
intangible assets, and has not yet determined what the effect of these tests
will be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In December 2000, the Company announced its decision to discontinue the online
segment, including the operations of its sixdegrees subsidiary and exit its
Application Service Provider ("ASP") business. The ASP business included the
technology that was acquired and further developed by CommonPlaces, CollegeWeb
and Invino. The Company determined that the ASP business was not aligned with
its long-term vision and strategy. The Company shut down its sixdegrees website
on December 30, 2000, and final disposal of the ASP business occurred prior to
June 30, 2001. In connection with the discontinuance of these businesses, the
Company incurred a one-time charge of $164 million, related primarily to the
write-off of goodwill, and also including other net assets and an accrual for
estimated losses during the phase-out period. The discontinuation of sixdegrees
and the disposal of the ASP business represent the disposal of a business
segment under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30. Accordingly,
results of these operations have been classified as discontinued and prior
periods have been restated.
Net revenues and losses from discontinued operations are as follows (in
thousands):

5. ACQUISITIONS
TRENT
In June 1999, the Company acquired Trent pursuant to a merger agreement (the
"Merger Agreement"). Trent sells posters and other products at sales events at
junior and four-year colleges, high schools, at retail stores and other
locations and over the Internet. The purchase price consisted of $3.5 million in
cash and 242,003 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $3.5 million, or
$14.46 per share, the then current market price. In addition, if Trent's EBITDA
(as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the two years ending June 30, 2001
exceeded certain targets, the Company was obligated to pay to the former Trent
stockholders up to an additional $600,000 in cash and additional shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $600,000. In December 2000, the Company amended
its agreement with the previous owners of Trent to modify the targets related to
the aforementioned earnouts. The modified earnouts were treated as compensation
expense rather than additional purchase price due to the nature of the
modifications. As of June 30, 2001, the Company has accrued an additional
$991,000 relating to the modified earnouts. The aggregate purchase price of
$7,060,000, including acquisition costs, was recorded as excess of cost over net
assets acquired.
HELLOXPRESS
In June 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of HelloXpress
USA, Inc. ("HelloXpress"). The purchase price consisted of $300,000 in cash,
17,242 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $250,000, or $14.50 per
share, the then current market price, and the forgiveness of amounts due to the
Company of $125,000. In addition, the former stockholders of HelloXpress
received an additional $45,000 in cash and shares of the Company's common stock
valued at $200,000 in September 2000. The aggregate purchase price of $936,000,
including acquisition costs, was recorded as excess of cost over net assets
acquired and a portion was allocated to a covenant not-to-compete.
COLLEGEWEB
In August 1999, the Company acquired CollegeWeb pursuant to a merger agreement
between the Company and CollegeWeb. The purchase price consisted of 108,971
shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $2,529,000, or approximately
$23.22 per share, the then current market price. The Company licensed
CollegeWeb's technology to CommonPlaces. The aggregate purchase price of
$2,738,000, including acquisition costs, was recorded as excess of cost over net
assets acquired. Effective December 2000, the Company discontinued the
CollegeWeb operations. (See Note 3. Discontinued Operations)
F-11
INVINO
In October 1999, the Company acquired Invino pursuant to a merger agreement
between the Company and Invino. The purchase price aggregating $9,000,000 is
payable in the Company's common stock, of which $3,486,000 (167,358 shares) was
paid at closing, based on the 30-day average share price prior to the payment
date. The balance of the purchase price is payable in the Company's common stock
in quarterly installments of $500,000 through September 30, 2000 and quarterly
installments of $375,000 from December 31, 2000 through December 31, 2002.
Through June 30, 2001, the Company issued an additional 1,085,731 shares valued
at approximately $2,648,000 in connection with the quarterly installments. The
aggregate purchase price was recorded in October 1999, and the deferred purchase
price included in the accompanying balance sheet represents the unpaid portion.
For accounting purposes, the value of the shares issued and to be issued has
been and will be determined on the three-day average trading price one day
before and one day after the date of issuance. Any differences between the use
of the 30-day and three-day average trading prices will be accounted for as an
adjustment to the purchase price. The aggregate purchase price of $8,594,000,
including acquisition costs, was recorded as excess of cost over net assets
acquired. Effective December 2000, the Company discontinued the Invino
operations. (See Note 3. Discontinued Operations)
SIXDEGREES
In January 2000, the Company acquired sixdegrees pursuant to a merger agreement
between the Company and sixdegrees. The Company issued 2,742,536 shares of
common stock and 999,957 shares of convertible preferred stock valued at
$110,715,000, or approximately $29.583 per share, the current three-day average
price per share when the merger was announced in December 1999. The convertible
preferred stock was converted into common stock in March 2000. The Company also
exchanged 640,979 of its options and warrants for 7,722,643 of sixdegrees'
options and warrants valued at approximately $12,850,000. The aggregate purchase
price of $125,369,000, including acquisition costs, exceeded the net assets
acquired by $114,727,000, which was recorded as excess of cost over net assets
acquired. Effective December 2000, the Company discontinued the operations of
sixdegrees. (See Note 3. Discontinued Operations).
COMMONPLACES
In November 1998, the Company acquired 5,000,000 common units in CommonPlaces in
exchange for providing media and marketing services having an aggregate value of
$15,000,000 over a four year period commencing upon the initial public launch
campaign promoting CommonPlaces' business, but not later than August 31, 1999.
Twenty-five percent of the common units initially acquired by the Company, or
1,250,000 common units, were not subject to vesting and no additional
performance of services by the Company was necessary with respect to those
units.
The Company did not assign a value to the initial 1,250,000 common units that
vested immediately because of the start-up nature of CommonPlaces' business and
the related uncertainty surrounding it. It was the Company's intention to record
an investment proportionate to the cost of media and marketing services provided
on an ongoing basis related to its $15,000,000 four-year commitment. This
investment in CommonPlaces was accounted for using the equity method, under
which the Company's share of losses of CommonPlaces was reflected in the
accompanying statement of operations as on equity loss in investment.
For the period November 1998 through February 28, 2000, the Company provided
$2,941,000 in media and marketing services to CommonPlaces. The Company's share
of CommonPlaces' losses for the period from November 1998 through June 30, 1999
and July 1, 1999 through February 28, 2000 was approximately $2,300,000 and
$7,488,000, respectively. The Company has limited the recognition of
CommonPlaces' losses in its statement of operations for the period from July 1,
1999 through February 28, 2000 and the period from November 1998 to June 30,
1999 to $2,890,000 and $51,000, respectively, because it was not required to
fund CommonPlaces' losses or to make additional capital contributions. For the
period from July 1, 1999 through February 28, 2000, the Company recognized
approximately $1,741,000 in license fee income and CommonPlaces recognized
$1,741,000 in license fee expense.
In February 2000, CommonPlaces unit holders, excluding the Company, received
4,792,867 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $78,934,000, or
approximately $16.47 per share, the current three-day average price per share
when the merger was first announced in June 1999. The Company issued 1,158,223
of its common stock options in exchange for 1,301,374 options in CommonPlaces'
units valued at approximately $4,600,000. The aggregate purchase price of
$92,276,000, including acquisition costs and the funding of CommonPlaces
operating expenses of $7,463,000 through the date of the merger, exceeded the
net assets acquired by $92,373,000 which was recorded as excess of cost over net
assets acquired. Effective December 2000, the Company discontinued the
operations of CommonPlaces. (See Note 3. Discontinued Operations)
F-12
TEEN.COM
In July 2000, the Company acquired Teen.com pursuant to a merger agreement among
the Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Teen.com. Teen.com is
a family-friendly Web destination for teens and is ranked as one of the top
websites visited by 13 to 19 year-olds. The purchase price consisted of 944,000
shares of the Company's common stock, including 50,000 shares issued to the
broker, valued at approximately $5,200,000 or approximately $5.53 per share, the
then current market price.
The aforementioned acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price of each of the
acquisitions has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed based on their fair values at the respective date of each acquisition.
Included in intangible assets is the excess of cost over the fair value of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The results of operations of the
businesses acquired are included in the Company's consolidated results of
operations from the respective dates of acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma information is presented as if the Company had
completed the acquisition of Teen.com as of July 1, 2001 and 2000, respectively,

and American Passage (the "Borrowers") and is guaranteed by the Company. This
loan is payable in equal monthly installments, commencing in February 1998, over
a maximum of six years. Interest is payable monthly at a rate of interest of 275

375,000 warrants to the accredited investors for $188,000, and 150,000 warrants
to the placement agent. Each warrant, which expires in July 2003, entitles the
holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock for $4.125, the
market price of the Company's common stock at the date of issuance. Based on an
independent appraisal, the 525,000 warrants were valued at $740,000. The value
of the warrants and closing costs of $314,000 have been recorded as deferred
financing costs and are being amortized over the term of the subordinated notes.

8. INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2001, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income
tax purposes of approximately $82,347,000 that expires from 2013 through 2021.
The use of this net operating loss in future years may be restricted under
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. For financial reporting purposes, a
valuation allowance of approximately $30,701,000 has been recognized to offset
the net deferred tax asset principally related to this carryforward. The
valuation allowance increased by approximately $9,803,000 and $11,674,000 for
the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of

provision has been provided for at June 30, 2001 and 2000 in the amount of
$275,000 and $493,000 respectively. These taxes are primarily based on net
assets and net revenues.
9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In December 1995, the Company granted to certain consultants an option to
purchase 552,560 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.58 per share,
which expires in December 2005. The Company, in years ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 respectively, issued 460,280 and 92,000 shares of the common stock in
connection with the exercise of such options.
The Company issued 2,645,000 warrants at the time of its initial public offering
in April 1996. Each of the warrants entitled the registered holder to purchase
one share of the Company's common stock for $5.00, subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances, at any time until April 2, 2001. In December 1997, the
Company issued 12,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of warrants. In
January 1999, the remaining 2,633,000 warrants were exercised resulting in net
proceeds to the Company of approximately $13,200,000.
In connection with the Company's initial public offering in April 1996, the
Company issued 230,000 warrants to the underwriter. Each warrant entitled the
holder to purchase one share of the Company's stock for $8.25 and an additional
warrant for $.165. Each additional warrant entitled the holder to purchase one
share of the Company's common stock for $8.25. All warrants expire in April

were exercised resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $2,146,000.
Approximately 198,000 of the additional warrants were exercised in cashless
transactions.
In connection with the sale of 1,015,873 shares of the Company's common stock in
June 1997, the Company issued 150,000 warrants to an investment bank. Such
warrants have an exercise price of $4.50 and expired in December 2000. In

In February 2000, the Company adopted the YouthStream 2000 Stock Option Plan
(the "2000 Plan") in order to grant employees providing services to the Company
incentive stock options. The 2000 Plan allows for the granting of options to
purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. All option plans
of the Company in existence at the formation of the 2000 Plan were merged into
the 2000 Plan. The terms of the options were not changed upon merging the Plans.
The exercise price of the options granted was at fair market value on the date
of the grant. Options generally vest over three years.
In October 2000, the Company granted a certain executive of the Company a
non-qualified option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. The exercise price of the options granted was at fair market value on the
date of the grant. The option vests over two years.
The following table summarizes the Option Plan.

Pro forma information regarding net loss per share is required by SFAS 123, and
has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock
options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions for June 30, 2001 and
2000:
June 30
----------------------------------
Assumption 2001 2000 1999
---------------------------------------- --------- ------- -------
Risk-free interest rate ..................... 4.99% 6.41% 5.08%
Dividend yield .............................. 0% 0% 0%
Volatility factor of the expected market
price of the Company's common stock ....... 1.223 .90 1.09
Average life ................................ 2.4 years 3 years 3 years
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of it employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the options. Had compensation
cost for the Company's Plan been determined based upon the fair value at the
grant date for awards under the Plan consistent with the methodology prescribed
under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss and loss per share would have
been increased by approximately $7,890,000 or $0.27 per share and $2,659,000, or
$0.13 per share for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended June
30, 2001, and 2000 was $1.49 and $8.10, respectively.
