We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Phoenix Media Group, Ltd. as of September 30, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the three month period then ended, and cash flows for the three month period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statement taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PHOENIX MEDIA GROUP, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of accounting policies of Phoenix Media Group, Ltd. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2000 and for the three months then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the three and nine months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full year. Organization and Basis of Presentation The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on December 5, 1985 as Bullseye Corp. On June 22, 1992 the name of the Company was changed to Natural Solutions, Ltd. and the corporate domicile was changed to the State of Nevada. On March 25, 1994, the Company name was changed to Phoenix Media Group, Ltd. The Company is in the development stage through June 30, 1994. The June 30, 1995 year is the first year during which it is considered an operating company. Nature of Business The Company was formed for the purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain capital to seek out, investigate and acquire interests in products and businesses which may have potential for profit. The Company's objective is to become a major player in the communications industry with an emphasis on radio, television and Internet services. Cash Equivalents For the purpose of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No.109 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. PHOENIX MEDIA GROUP, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 (CONTINUED) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings (Loss) Per Share The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computations are as follows: For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Per Share Income Shares Amount ----------------------- -------------------- --------------------- EPS (Numerator) (Denominator) Net Loss to common shareholders $ (42,573) 6,925,649 $ (0.01) ======================= ==================== ===================== For the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Per Share Income Shares Amount ----------------------- -------------------- --------------------- EPS Net Income to common shareholders $ 1,738 6,720,649 $ - ======================= ==================== ===================== Amortization Intangibles and goodwill are amortized using the straight line method over five years. The Company has implemented the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets Disposed of." SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows from the use of the assets and its eventual disposition (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. PHOENIX MEDIA GROUP, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 (CONTINUED) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Depreciation Office furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows: Office furniture 5-10 years Equipment 5-7 years Vehicles 5-10 years Office Condominium 39 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; betterments are capitalized. The cost of property sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are eliminated from the property and related accumulated depreciation accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Pervasiveness of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1999 financial statements to conform with the 2000 presentation. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits. PHOENIX MEDIA GROUP, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 (CONTINUED) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Investments The Company's securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings. NOTE 2 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS Preferred Stock The Board of Directors of the Company has the authority to fix by resolution for each particular series of preferred stock the number of shares to be issued; the rate and terms on which cumulative or non-cumulative dividends shall be paid; conversion features of the preferred stock; redemption rights and prices, if any; terms of the sinking fund, if any to be provided for the shares; voting powers of preferred shareholders; and any other special rights, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions. NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES Deferred taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for income tax reporting and financial statement reporting purposes. Deferred benefits of $155,000 and $64,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 respectively, are the result of net operating losses. The Company has recorded net deferred income taxes in the accompanying balance sheets as follows: As at September 30, -------------------- 2000 1999 --------- --------- Future deductible temporary differences related to Reserves, accruals, and net operating losses $ 155,000 $ 64,000 Valuation allowance (155,000) (64,000) --------- --------- Net Deferred Income Tax $ - $ - ========= ========= PHOENIX MEDIA GROUP, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 (CONTINUED) NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES (Continued) As of September 30, 2000, the Company had a net operating loss ("NOL") carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $455,000 available to offset future taxable income. This net operating loss carry forward expires at various dates between June 30, 2001 and 2015. A loss generated in a particular year will expire for federal tax purposes if not utilized within 15 years. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Code contains provisions which could reduce or limit the availability and utilization of these NOLs if certain ownership changes have taken place or will take place. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to the uncertainty with respect to the ultimate realization of the NOLs, the Company established a valuation allowance for the entire net deferred income tax asset of $155,000 as of September 30, 2000. Also consistent with SFAS No. 109, an allocation of the income (provision) benefit has been made to the loss from continuing operations. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the federal statutory income tax rate on the loss from continuing operations are presented below: As at September 30, -------------------- 2000 1999 -------- -------- Expense (Benefit) at the federal statutory rate of 34% $ (14,000) $ 600 Nondeductible expenses - - --------- -------- Utilization of net operating loss carryforward $ 14,000 $ (600) --------- --------- $ - $ - ========= ========= NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has loaned an officer/director $20,100, interest at 1%, repayable at $201 per month for ten months with a balloon payment due in 2007. In addition an officer/director advanced $8,000 at 0% interest, to the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company received additional funds. The balance payable at September 30, 2000 was $1,882. PHOENIX MEDIA GROUP, LTD.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MAY NOT PROVE ACCURATE When used in this Form 10-QSB, the words anticipated, estimate, expect, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions including the possibility that the Company's will fail to generate projected revenues. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. General The following discusses the financial position and results of operations of the Company. Significantly all of the Company's revenues came from its resale of air time to its customers. That was the Company's principle service provided during fiscal 1999. During fiscal 1999, the Company began purchasing air time from a total of four stations, which is double the number of stations it was purchasing from during fiscal 1998. Revenues from sales of items associated with Manfred Moose(TM) were negligible. At the present time, approximately twelve percent of customers with six month contracts renew their contracts while approximately twenty percent of customers with three month contracts renew their contracts. Although the Company provides service to its customers with repeat business, there is no assurance that such customers will maintain or increase the level of volume of business of the Company. The Company produces a weekly radio talk show which it produces in its Burbank offices. The Company purchases air time from four radio stations and resells the air time to customers seeking to advertise their goods and services during the program. The Company has been producing its radio show for over two years. The companies which sponsor the talk show through their purchase of air time can play their own previously produced commercials or have the Company provide the commercial for broadcast during the show. Results of Operations - The following table set forth, for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, certain items from the Company's Condensed Statements of Operations expressed as a percentage of net sales. 3 months 3 months ended ended 09/30/00 09/30/99 --------------- --------------- Sales, Net 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Sales 46.8% 13.2% Gross Margin 53.2% 86.8% Operating Expenses 161.2% 89.2% Operating Income (Loss) 108.0% 2.4% Other Income (Expense), Net 16.6% 4.1% Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes 124.6% 1.7% Income Taxes 0.5% 0.2% Net Income (Loss) 125.1% 1.5% Net Sales Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999 decreased by approximately $79,000 or 69.8%. This decrease was due to what management believes to be a temporary downturn in the company's business. Cost of Sales Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased approximately $1,000 or 6.8% compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased 354.5% from 13.2% to 46.8%. This increase was due to the purchase of additional air time at increased costs. Also, as the Company completes development of the various Manfred Moose(TM) projects it is currently working on, its cost of sales will be affected, although the Company cannot predict with any degree of accuracy how much since, to a large extent, that depends on how successful this new line of business in for the Company. Operating Expenses Operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased approximately $45,000 or 45.0% compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999, from approximately $100,000 to $55,000. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased 251% from 89.2% to 161.8%. This increase was due to the decrease in net sales. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company requires working capital to fund its current operations. The Company has budgeted its anticipated revenue and cash flows, after paying expenses, from its sale of radio air time to provide for its anticipated expenditures to fund development of the Manfred Moose(TM) project until such time as the Company begins to receive revenue from Manfred Moose(TM) projects. If the Company's revenues decline below present or projected levels, the Company may have to scale back its operations and its proposed development of Manfred Moose(TM) to accommodate the resulting shortfall in revenues to fund its projects. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's revenues decreased approximately $79,000 over revenues from the three months ended September 30, 1999. It is anticipated that the current operations will expand and the funds generated will exceed the Company's working capital requirements for the next year. The Company has long term goals to further develop Manfred Moose(TM) merchandise and products over the next twelve month period and expects that the projects it currently has in development will require approximately $150,000 over the next twelve months. The Company believes that its operations will be able to provide the funds for these development costs over the next twelve months. The Company anticipates that ultimately, these development costs will be recouped through the eventual sales of the various products being developed. If revenues are not sufficient to fund its operations, the Company will need to seek alternative sources of financing either through loans or through raising capital. There are no formal commitments from banks or other lending sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowing. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain alternative financing through loans or capital and the Company has no commitments for either type of financing. If alternative financing is not available, then the Company will be forced to scale back its proposed operations and perhaps be forced to abandon its Manfred Moose(TM) projects or delay it significantly. The Company's lack of current assets would be a factor to be considered by potential lenders or investors in deciding whether or not to loan money to or invest in the Company. The Company generates and uses cash flows through three activities: operating, investing, and financing. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, operating activities used cash of approximately $34,000 as compared to net cash provided of approximately $9,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Much of this increase in attributable to the Company's development and marketing of Manfred Moose(TM). During the three months ended September 30, 2000, investing activities provided approximately $20,000 primarily due to proceeds from stockholder loans of approximately $20,000. During the three months ended September 30, 1999, investing activities used approximately $6,000 primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment. Financing activities used approximately $1,000 primarily from principle payments on debt. During the three months ended September 30, 1999, financing activities used less than $500 for principal payments on debt. Management believes that the Company's current cash and funds available will be sufficient to meet capital requirements and short term and long term working capital needs in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001 and beyond, unless a significant acquisition or expansion is undertaken. The Company is constantly searching for potential acquisitions and/or expansion opportunities. However, there are no arrangements or ongoing negotiations for any acquisition or expansion. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS The Company continues to pursue its efforts in marketing and licensing Manfred Moose(TM) and is working to complete the projects with Air Tahiti described above. Efforts to work on a cartoon series are still progressing. The Company entered into an agreement with a major shareholder whereby that shareholder invested $50,000 in during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to help fund the development costs incurred by the Company in creating and marketing Manfred Moose(TM). Inflation and Regulation The Company's operations have not been, and in the near term are not expected to be, materially affected by inflation or changing prices. The Company encounters competition from a variety of Companies in its markets. Many of these companies have long standing customer relationships and are well-staffed and well financed. The Company believes that competition in the its industries is based on customer satisfaction and production of quality products and services, although the ability, reputation and support of management is also significant. The Company does not believe that any recently enacted or presently pending proposed legislation will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. Factors That May Affect Future Results Management's Discussion and Analysis and other parts of this filing contain information based on management's beliefs and forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially for the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following: The markets for many of the Company's offerings are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, and frequent new product introductions. The Company's operating results will depend to a significant extent on its ability to design, develop, or otherwise obtain and introduce new products, services, systems, and solutions and to reduce the costs of these offerings. The success of these and other new offerings is dependent on many factors, including proper identification of customer needs, cost, timely completion and introduction, differentiation from offerings of the Company's competitors, and market acceptance. The ability to successfully introduce new products and services could have an impact on future results of operations. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. The Company is not engaged in any legal proceedings other than the ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business operations, which the Company does not believe, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company, or its operations. No Director, Officer or affiliate of the Company, and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the securities of the Company, or any associate of any such Director, Officer or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in reference to pending litigation.
