PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

THE COMPANY
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware and are positioning ourselves as a
provider of Internet consulting services and as a vertically-integrated New
Media content generator, enabler and aggregator. We are comprised of two

deliver or "stream" live and on-demand audio and video programming. Our
Streamedia Networks sites offer programming in areas as "Crime Broadcast",
"Sports Style", "Motion Arts", "Women on the Edge", and "Bijou Cafe".
Our Streamedia Business Services division markets Internet and intranet
broadcasting services to a wide spectrum of enterprises, such as, but not
limited to, businesses, associations, electronic publishers and "off-line" media
generators, who are attempting to obtain an Internet broadcast presence. The
division delivers multimedia and text through a variety of push, poll and
proprietary electronic mail mechanisms.

RISK FACTORS
You should be aware that there are various risks associated with our business,
and us including the ones discussed below. The following risk factors should be
carefully considered, together with other information contained in this
prospectus, in evaluating us.
Our Limited Operating History Makes It Difficult To Determine Our Future
Success. Streamedia is currently just becoming operational. To date, we have
generated limited revenues. We have experienced losses in each quarter since our
inception. Our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2000, was $7,967,217. In May
2000, we launched four network sites, but have not yet begun to generate
significant revenues. You should consider Streamedia and our prospects in light
of the risks, difficulties and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies
in an early stage of development.
We May Not Be Able to Obtain the Financing and Capital Required to Maintain and
Grow Our Business. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, we incurred a net
loss of $3,753,173. We expect to incur additional capital expenditures and
operating costs in connection with the operation and expansion of our network
sites, which will result in significant losses for the foreseeable future. There
can be no assurance that we will generate significant revenues or achieve
profitable operations. Our independent certified public accountants' report on
the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1999, includes an
explanatory paragraph stating that our ability to continue our business is
dependant upon our ability to obtain additional capital, among other things,
which raises doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Possible Delisting of Securities From the NASDAQ stock Market; Risks of Low
Priced Securities. While the Common Stock and warrants have met the current
initial listing requirements for inclusion in the Nasdaq SmallCap market, there
can be no assurance that we will continue to meet those listing requirements.
Under the current criteria for continued inclusion on the SmallCap Market:
1. We will have to maintain at least $2,000,000 in net tangible assets or
$35,000,000 in market capitalization, or achieve net income of
$500,000 for two of the last three years;
2. The minimum bid price of the Common Stock will have to be $1.00 per
share;
3. There must be at least 500,000 shares in the public float valued at
$1,000,000 or more;
4. The Common Stock must have at least two active market makers; and
5. The Common Stock must be held by at least 300 holders.
7
If we are unable to satisfy the SmallCap Market's maintenance requirements, our
securities may be delisted. The Common Stock and warrants would then be traded
only in the over-the-counter market, in the so called "pink sheets", or the
NASD's OTC Bulletin Board. Consequently, the liquidity of our securities could
be impaired.
In addition, if the Common Stock is delisted from trading on the SmallCap market
and the trading price of the Common Stock falls below $5.00 per share, trading
in the Common Stock may be subject to the penny stock trading rules promulgated
under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the relevant
rules thereunder. The "penny stock" rules impose additional sales practice
requirements on the broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together
with their spouse). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny
stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock,
the compensation received by the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules
generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the
broker-dealer must make a special written determination the penny stock is a
suitable investment for the purchaser and the broker-dealer must obtain the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules and investors
may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
The Exercise Price of the Warrants was Arbitrarily Determined. Prior to the
initial public offering, there was no public trading market for our Common Stock
or the warrants. Consequently, the exercise price of the redeemable warrants was
determined by negotiation between the underwriters and us and is not necessarily
related to our asset value, net worth, or other criteria of value. Among the
factors considered in determining the offering price, and the exercise price of
the warrants were our financial condition and prospects, our management, market
price of similar Internet securities in comparable publicly traded companies,
certain financial and operating information in companies engaged in activities
of similar to ours and the general condition of the securities market. There can
be no assurance that a regular trading market will be sustained.
Future Non-Public Sales of Our Securities May be on Terms More Favorable than
the Terms of This Offering. In order to raise additional working capital, we
could make a limited number of offers and sales of our Common Stock or other
securities to investors exempt from registration under the securities laws.
These purchasers may acquire securities on terms more favorable than offered to
you. In addition, the price may not relate to any accepted measure of value,
including the prevailing market price. We may make sales of our securities at a
lower price than that of the warrants. In addition, any offering of additional
unregistered shares would cause dilution in the interests of other shareholders.
8
The Outstanding Warrants May Adversely Affect us in the Future. The holders of
the underwriters' warrants from our initial public offering will have until
December 21, 2004, to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Stock
and warrants. Investors from our August 24, 1999 private placement, also have
until July 31, 2004, to exercise warrants to purchase 1,089,000 shares of our
Common Stock. The exercise of such warrants will cause dilution in the interests
of other shareholders. Further, the terms on which we may obtain additional
financing during that period, may be adversely affected by the existence of the
underwriters' warrants. The holders of the underwriters' warrants may exercise
their warrants at a time that we might be able to obtain additional capital
through a new offering of shares on terms more favorable than those in this
offering. We have agreed that, under certain circumstances, we will register
under the securities laws the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the
underwriters' warrants. Exercise of these registration rights could involve
expense at a time when we could not afford the expense and may adversely affect
the terms upon which we may obtain financing.
We Are Dependent On Key Existing And Future Personnel For Our Success.
Streamedia's success depends on the efforts of certain members of senior
management, particularly James Rupp (President and Chief Executive Officer) and
Nicholas Malino (Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief
Financial Officer). The loss of one or both of these individuals could adversely
affect our business operations or prospects. These individuals have entered into
employment agreements, but we cannot guarantee that either of these individuals
will continue to serve in his current capacity or for what time period this
service might continue. We have not obtained key man life insurance policies
with respect to these individuals.
Our Principle Shareholders Own a Majority of the Shares Outstanding and May
Control Us. Our officers and directors own a majority of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock. These shareholders will be able to control the vote on election
of directors and to substantially impact the vote on other matters submitted to
shareholders. If these shareholders act together they will be able to
substantially impact any vote of the stockholders and exert considerable
influence over our affairs.
We Are Dependant On Continued Growth and Acceptance of the Internet. Our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected if widespread commercial use of the Internet does not
develop, or if the Internet does not develop as an effective and measurable
medium for advertising.
Rapid growth in use of and interest in the Internet is a recent phenomenon.
There can be no assurance that acceptance and use of the Internet will continue
to develop or that a sufficient base of users will emerge to support
Streamedia's business. Our future revenues will depend largely on the widespread
acceptance and use of the Internet as a source of multimedia information and
entertainment and as a vehicle for commerce in goods and services. Our business,
results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected if use of the Internet does not continue to grow or grows more slowly
than expected, Internet infrastructure does not
9
effectively support the growth that may occur, or the evolution of broadband
connectivity is slower or less widespread than anticipated.
In the event that the Internet does not continue to grow or grows more slowly
than expected, we may not have the ability to generate sufficient revenues. We
anticipate that advertising revenues will depend on, among other factors,
pricing of advertising on other websites; the amount of traffic that our
websites receive; and our ability to achieve and demonstrate user and member
demographic characteristics that are attractive to advertisers. All of these
factors are dependant on the growth and acceptance of the Internet.
To Remain Competitive We Must Adapt to Internet Technology Trends. The market
for Internet broadcast services experiences rapid technological developments,
frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards. Many of our
existing competitors, as well as potential direct competitors, have longer
operating histories, greater name recognition, larger consumer bases and greater
financial, technical, research, and marketing resources than ours. This may
allow them to devote greater resources than we can to develop and promote their
products. These competitors may also engage in more research and development,
undertake more far reaching marketing campaigns, and make more attractive offers
to existing and potential clients and employees, outside contributors, and
advertisers. These competitors may develop content that is equal or superior to
ours or that gains greater market acceptance than our content. It is also
possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire a significant
market share. We accordingly may not be able to compete successfully for
advertisers, viewers, and technical employees, which could materially adversely
affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Furthermore, to remain competitive we must effectively use leading technologies,
continue to develop technological expertise, and enhance our current services
and continue to improve the performance, features and reliability of our network
infrastructure. In addition, the widespread adoption of new Internet
technologies or standards could require us to make substantial expenditures to
modify our websites and services. If we fail to rapidly respond to technological
developments, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Government Regulations. Certain existing laws or regulations specifically
regulate communications or commerce on the Web. Moreover, laws and regulations
that address issues such as user privacy, pricing, online content regulations,
taxation and the characteristics and quality of online products and services are
under consideration by federal, state, local and foreign governments and
agencies. Several telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal
Communications Commission to regulate Internet service providers and online
services providers in a manner similar to the regulation of long distance
telephone carriers and to impose access fees on such companies. Such regulation,
if imposed, could increase the cost of transmitting data over the web. Moreover,
it could take years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to
issues such as intellectual property ownership and infringement, libel,
obscenity, and personal privacy are applicable to the web. The Federal Trade
Commission and government agencies in certain states have been investigating
certain Internet companies
10
regarding their use of personal information. Any new laws regulating and/or
relating to the web, or certain application or interpretation of existing laws,
could decrease the growth in the use of the web, decrease the demand for our web
site or otherwise materially adversely affect our business.
USE OF PROCEEDS

development.
The Offering expenses include our estimate for the total accounting and legal

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid cash or other dividends on the Common Stock and we do not
anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Board
of Directors plans to retain future earnings for the development and expansion
of business. Any future determination as to the payment of dividends will be at
the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors,
including future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and any
other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

OVERVIEW
We were organized in the State of Delaware in 1998. From the date of our
inception through the present, we have considered ourselves a development stage
company. Our primary activities to date have consisted of the following:
Securing financing to begin the operating phase
We completed our Initial Public Offering on December 27, 1999. Prior to this
date we completed only limited build-out and development of our technological
infrastructure and recruited only a select few technical and managerial
employees. Subsequent to the completion of the offering we began an extensive
effort to develop a state-of-the-art infrastructure for video and audio
streaming and to recruit and hire technical personnel to design, implement, and
maintain these systems. The initial phase of this build-out was substantially
completed in the second quarter of 2000.
Building of streaming infrastructure and the web sites
The streaming infrastructure consists of various local and wide area networks
capable of streaming and storing large amounts of audio and video files. We have
implemented networked environments for development, staging, and actual
broadcast to the public over the Internet. The system combines a sophisticated
network architecture to develop and deliver our content as well as a system to
store files to be streamed.
12
Recruiting technical and broadcast production talent
The area of streaming video and audio over the Internet is new and complex.
There is an extremely limited pool of talent available with expertise in this
field. We have spent a great deal of time recruiting and interviewing talent for
these positions. We have had success in attracting and retaining individuals
with the necessary talents and experience. We have approximately 36 employees
the majority of which are Network Producers, Video Editing Technicians, Digital
Asset Technicians, Web Designers, Web Developers, Programmers, and LAN and
Database Administrators.
Developing and refining our business model
We have devoted time to refining our business model prior to commencing actual
operations. Our business model has been built around multiple lines of product
and services with multiple revenue sources. We originally contemplated four
business lines, which have since been consolidated into two main revenue
divisions built around the types of clients that each division services. The
Streamedia Networks target the Internet users and our Business Services division
is aimed at corporate clients.
Establishing a network of industry partners
The Internet industry has been built around establishing partnering arrangements
with competitors and collaborators alike. In furtherance of our plan and
objectives, we have established partnering arrangements with Real Networks,
Inc., Real Media, Inc., Virage, Inc., Vignette, Inc., Screaming Media, Inc.,
Accrue Software, Inc., COMTEX Scientific Corp., Intraware, Inc., and Video
Corporation of America, Inc.
Planning and developing of the Streamedia Networks
The Streamedia Networks are the showcase of our abilities in webcasting,
streaming audio and video, and web site design and development. We have
evaluated, acquired, and installed hardware and software associated with the
development of the Networks including ad servers, syndication servers, database
servers, multimedia delivery, Internet broadcasting, online content syndication,
media asset management, online advertising and customer management.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, we officially launched the Streamedia
Networks, which are our showcase for web design and broadcast programming. Each
Network is devoted to a specific category of programming, such as women's issues
or sports. Visitors to the Streamedia Networks are able to view live and
on-demand video and audio programming in an environment similar to that of cable
broadcasts, offering a wide scope of programming choices, interactive elements,
convenient access to retail opportunities, and numerous sources of news and
information in topics of interest. Much like cable and network television, we
produce, aggregate and distribute content in various categories. Currently, we
offer programming news and
13
information on five Networks: Crimebroadcast, Motion Arts, Women on the Edge,
Sports Style and the Bijou Cafe.
Planning and developing our Business Services
Our business services are designed to provide technology and consulting
expertise and services to traditional media companies, traditional businesses
with media assets, and online businesses and web sites. Our Streamedia Digital
Solutions includes encoding services, digital security, video indexing,
broadcasting production, and web design. In developing our business services
area, we have acquired and installed hardware and software that allows us to
perform these services for other companies.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, we also launched our Internet
professional services business and began producing revenues. The Internet
professional services business provides consulting and design services relating
to the construction of websites or Internet applications on the World Wide Web.
The launch of our professional services was subsequent to the launch of the
Streamedia Networks in May and was only operational for a portion of the
quarter.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On March 31, 2000, we closed a tax-free reorganization with Eons Ahead, Inc., a
New York web design firm. The financial statements presented with this
discussion reflect this transaction as a "pooling of interests" of Eons Ahead
with our interests as the surviving company. The discussion that follows, and
all future discussions, will exclusively address the financial statements of the
"pooled" Company and retroactively combine the financial positions of Streamedia
with Eons Ahead, Inc.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999.
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $78,721 or 151% to $130,830 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $52,109 for the comparable period of 1999.
For the three months ended June 30, 2000, revenues increased by $92,218 or 295%
to $123,486, as compared to $31,268 for the comparable period in 1999. Revenues
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000, were primarily
generated from our performance of Internet professional services, launched in
May 2000.
The revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, are due to
the tax-free reorganization of Eons Ahead, Inc., in March 2000, which was
accounted for as a pooling of interests.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased by $3,373,118 or 546% to
$3,991,120 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $618,002 for
the comparable period of 1999. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, total
operating expenses increased by $1,932,252 or 517% to $2,306,192, as compared to
$373,940, for the comparable period in 1999.
14
The increases in operating expenses for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000, were due to recruiting, hiring, and training of additional
technical and administrative employees, product development costs, implementing
of systems including our video storage systems, Internet service provider costs
and other general and administrative expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. We incurred net losses every quarter since our
inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, we incurred a net loss of
$3,753,173, an increase of 560% as compared to a net loss of $568,257, for the
six months ended June 30, 1999.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, we expended approximately $1,269,000 for
property and equipment assets. This represents a substantial portion of our
technical capital infrastructure. We estimate we will spend an additional
$600,000 completing our infrastructure. We expect to complete this build-out in
the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2000, at which time we anticipate that
the monthly rate of capital expenditures will significantly decrease.
Period from January 13, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 1998 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1999.
REVENUES. Revenues increased by $143,853 or 787% to $162,139 for the for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $18,286 for the period from
January 13, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 1998.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased by $2,894,557 or 649% to
$3,340,406 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $445,849
for the period from January 13, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. We incurred net losses every quarter since our
inception. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, we incurred a net loss
of $3,785,824, an increase of 784% as compared to a net loss of $428,220, for
the period from January 13, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 1998.
We have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity securities and
the private placement of debt instruments. For the six months ended June 30,
2000, we raised $299,200 from the sale of common stock pursuant to the exercise
of the underwriters' overallotment option in connection with our initial public
offering. From January 13, 1998 (the date of our inception), to June 30, 2000,
we have raised approximately $12.8 million from the sale of common stock and the
placement of debt (before underwriting discounts and offering costs). We
completed our initial public offering on December 27, 1999, and repaid
$1,878,125 in debt and interest. On December 31, 1999 our principal source of
liquidity is $6,693,061 of cash and cash equivalents.
During this fiscal year, we plan to implement several business strategies. These
include substantially adding to our library of broadcast content and to develop
our Internet professional services offerings. We intend to focus our efforts on
the expansion of our professional services since we believe that it represents
our best short-term path to profitability. The Network or
15
Content portion of the business will be built out more gradually, as our
resources will be expended on the areas representing the potential for greatest
return.
To accomplish these objectives, we need to:
o Make substantial investments in capital equipment, such as web servers,
storage devices, and other specialized computer and communications
equipment, and
o Hire or otherwise contract with highly specialized personnel to develop,
configure, administer, and operate Web sites, broadcast equipment and
infrastructure for our company and our corporate clients.
While we are building and subsequently launching Network and Channel sites, we
will be purchasing, or otherwise producing or acquiring, audio and video
content. Such content needs to be prepared for delivery via a process known as
encoding. The encoding process is required to prepare the content for streaming,
or broadcasting, over the Internet. In addition to encoding out own material for
broadcast, we will also provide encoding services to outside parties for fees
based on the number of minutes encoded.
We plan to acquire additional content. Current industry conditions render it
difficult to secure "exclusive" rights to numerous classes of content suitable
for broadcasting over the Internet. To the extent to which we cannot capture
exclusive broadcast rights, we will be in competition with other web sites
attempting to attract audiences by offering some of the same programming.
We anticipate that any rise in our industry stature, such as by launching a
series of successful sites, selling business to business services, and supplying
third party sites with programming, will assist us to further market business to
business professional services, and thereby proportionately increase our
revenue. We expect expenditures to rise in proportion to each phase of our build
out. While we anticipate increased revenues concurrent with the build out,
delays in product development or the institution of marketing programs could
result in the risk of prolonged absence of revenues, profits, or working
capital.
Nevertheless, we believe that to accomplish our business objectives we will have
to continue to expand our operations. However, our limited operating history
makes predictions of our future results of operations difficult to access. We
have incurred net losses in each fiscal period since our inception and, as of
June 30, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,967,217. To date, although we
are beginning to generate revenues, we may never achieve profitable operations.
Our history of net losses raises doubt about our ability to continue operations.
Based upon our projected costs for the year 2000 and our past operating losses,
we will need to obtain sufficient additional financing or other working capital
to fund our operations.
If we do not obtain additional financing or working capital, we believe that
limiting our planned expansion and by reducing sales, marketing, and advertising
budgets, our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working
capital and capital expenditure requirements
16
through at least the end of 2000. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations
is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may need to sell
additional equity or debt securities to continue as a going concern.
BUSINESS
A. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Streamedia Communications, Inc. ("Streamedia" or "the Company") is a Delaware
Corporation. Our principal business address is 244 West 54th Street, 7th Floor,
New York, New York, 10019. Our telephone number is (212) 445-1700.
We started in January 1998 to develop broadcast oriented websites. The
partnership evolved into Streamedia Communications, L.L.C., a New Jersey limited
liability company, in September 1998, to continue the business plan initiated by
the partnership. Streamedia Communications, L.L.C., was subsequently reorganized
into a Delaware Corporation in December 1998.
We have never been a party to any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar
proceeding.
B. BUSINESS OF THE REGISTRANT
GENERAL
We provide website owners and content publishers with cost-effective services
and tools for streaming, or broadcasting, live and on-demand video and audio
content over the Internet. We have also created and operate a series of websites
we call the "Streamedia Networks." Our business, therefore, has two primary
components: we act as an Internet content publisher and broadcaster, and as a
business-to-business service bureau, for hire, to assist other businesses to
publish and broadcast their content on the Web. Each area of activity is
expected to generate multiple sources of revenue.
Our content websites and the broadcast programming that they feature provide
examples of the services we are able to provide on a business-to-business basis.
Our streaming media services enable web users to enjoy activities such as:
o Listening to radio broadcasts on the Internet
o Watching news, sports, and cultural events from around the world
o Experiencing interactive presentations
o Accessing unique work by artists who do not sell their work to
traditional broadcasters in television or radio
o Hearing public company financial presentations as they happen, or on a
replay basis
o Watching classic and independent films not easily available from other
sources
o Watching music videos or listening to songs on demand
17
o Participating in live interactive webcasts or Internet conferences o
Gathering important health information on a confidential basis
o Joining an Internet "community"
o Researching products for which they are shopping
THE STREAMEDIA NETWORKS
The Streamedia Networks are our showcase for web design and broadcast
programming. Each Network is devoted to a specific category of programming, such
as women's issues, or sports. Visitors to the Streamedia Networks are able to
view live and on-demand video and audio programming in an environment similar to
that of cable broadcasts. Much like cable and network television, we produce,
aggregate and distribute content in various categories. Currently, we offer
programming news and information regarding motion art, crime, sports, women, and
entertainment. Each Network and any channel associated with it is capable of
carry advertising.
Much of the programming available on the Streamedia Networks represents
proprietary productions by our staff. Other aspects of our programming are
materials to which we have acquired the rights, or obtained a distribution
license from the owner. We anticipate that most of our content will continue to
be offered at no charge to end-users: our goal is to capture the maximum
possible consumer audience. To see and hear our programming, the public does not
require special hardware or software beyond that of standard media players, such
as those produced by Microsoft, Inc., and RealNetworks, Inc., and browsers
routinely supplied by computer manufacturers and Internet Service Providers.

THE BUSINESS SERVICES
BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS CORE COMPETENCIES
Business Services mission is to provide technology and consulting expertise and
services to conventional media companies, traditional businesses with media
assets, and online businesses and websites needing to coordinate and control
their media assets to increase profits, enhance branding, increase their
distribution, and raise their industry stature. We will emphasize the role of
Media Resource Planning, the digital counterpart to ERP, Enterprise Resource
Planning-in any company's future.
Streamedia Business Services has the following capacities:
19
o Capture and convert traditional non-digital media such as film and
videotape assets to digital format
o Store these converted media assets in a digital environment which may
be indexed so that the digital files can be searched for content.
o Provide a commerce-enabled web interface to that digital environment
o Furnish scalable and reliable distribution means to delivery for all
products including professional quality video
o Track the use of media assets throughout the broadcast, cable and
Internet marketplace
o Provide consulting expertise and technology to help companies build
similar, but non-competitive systems at the "company-wide" level.
THE STREAMEDIA DIGITAL SOLUTIONS(TM)
The centerpiece of Streamedia's Business-to-Business Strategy is the Streamedia
Digital Solutions(TM). Streamedia's Digital Solutions(TM) allow owners of
traditional types of media, such as film, photographic, and video and audio
libraries, to display their content over the Internet. The digitization of
traditional media assets is recognized as a method to preserve and protect
fragile media assets such as film. Moreover, Streamedia Digital Solutions(TM)
process also allows media owners to:
o Enhance their video or audio asset through Streamedia's ability to
optimize the video or audio and in some cases to restore faded or
damaged media
o Index a video library, using third party software, rendering the
digitized content searchable by spoken words, by the recognition of
the names and faces of the speakers, or by identification of the
topics discussed during each segment of the video
o Transform the old-media asset into a compelling web experience and a
completely new broadcast platform capable of featuring personalized,
targeted advertising, community-building and e-commerce
o Distribute their assets to new markets
We can capture media from all popular formats, whether digital or analog. We
process the captured media using several hardware and software based audio and
video optimization technologies. These upgraded versions of the media are
encoded for digital storage in one or more streaming formats, ready for
broadcast.
As part of the full process, we use software that divides video into segments by
indexing visual scene changes, spoken words, names and faces of recognized
speakers, and topics discussed within each segment. The software we use creates
a graphic and textual summary of the video. This index is synchronized during a
concurrent encoding process while preparing streaming video files. These
capabilities make it easier for both content owners and Internet users to search
for and use video content. Whether the users are looking for a particular
character or person, or topic, the ability to
20
search by keyword allows them to generate search results lists, and then, in
some cases, go directly to the section in the video that is of interest to them.
We store the media files and descriptive metadata generated as part of our
encoding process in a proprietary Oracle database. Our web development team
designs and builds a sophisticated graphic user interface to provide a web front
end to the data. This Graphic User Interface, or GUI can feature intuitive
navigation schema, and advanced personalization techniques, which enable
targeted advertising and other commerce opportunities. Lastly, we publish all of
the data and graphics to the web. We host our sites, and can host sites or
partial sites, and media, for our clients. The value added situation deriving
from our hosting services is that the Streamedia Networks can actually become a
third party's additional broadcast venue, thereby increasing a client's
distribution footprint, opening them into new markets, and generating additional
branding and sales pathways.
The Streamedia Digital Solutions provide a comprehensive set of applications,
capacities, and services to third parties who need to deploy their media assets
to the web rapidly, powerfully, and in an aesthetically appealing manner. The
solutions provide improved access to video content, the opportunity to achieve
greater distribution, greater user interaction and community building tools,
improved capacity for personalization and targeted content delivery, and
increased commerce opportunities.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Increasingly, the media we work with in the printing, publishing, and graphic
arts industry are digital, and for good reason. Digitization often enhances
quality; improves control; speeds and widens distribution; and reduces costs.
However, the migration into a digital world also poses several major challenges.
The media themselves are increasing in complexity: resolutions are increasing,
file structures are becoming more sophisticated and flat media is giving way to
multimedia, including video and audio. There may be many versions of a media
created during development, any one of which may have to be accessed and, due to
the range of media in which they appear, they may have to be saved in any of
multiple formats. The number of publications--paper and electronic--is
exploding, which increases the digital data requirements. This demand is
increasing the value of these digital resources, both to those who produce them
and to those who use them.
Business Services' mission is to provide technology and consulting expertise and
services to conventional media companies, traditional businesses with media
assets, and online businesses - with a desire to coordinate and control their
media assets to increase profits, enhance branding, increase their distribution,
and raise their industry stature. We will emphasize the role of Media Resource
Planning-the digital counterpart to ERP, Enterprise Resource Planning-in any
company's future.
The Internet marketplace is poised for a revolution in methodology, not just
technology. Known currently as a tool for finding news and entertainment
information, we believe that the next step in the evolution of the web will
focus in wide-spread adoption of the narrative in an interactive environment-the
telling of multiform stories with an active audience so engrossed in the tale
that
21
the procedural participatory nature of their involvement does into interfere.
This symbiotic bond between the best in interactive Internet technology and
television production will lead the next transformation of the web and media
marketplace.
Our Internet technology experts are working to develop methodologies for
deriving optimum benefits from these new tools. Our Business Services unit will
market these capacities and technologies to third parties.
MARKETING AND SALES
We rely on a variety of marketing methods, including direct marketing, trade
show and conference participation, our corporate site, the Streamedia Networks,
and collateral sales materials. We will continue to raise our stature in the
Internet community and position the Streamedia brand as we develop our sales and
marketing activities.
We segment our target markets into a broad range of categories. Each of these
categories has qualities which allows our personnel to approach a potential
client with opportunities relating to both business to business services, as
well as for content arrangements taking one of many possible forms.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
THE BUSINESS SERVICES
We are providing Internet media infrastructure services and applications.
Together, these form end-to-end solutions for the delivery of rich media over
the Internet. The Streamedia Digital Solutions include encoding, or processing
audio and video into a format that enables it to be broadcast as streaming
media. The Solutions also include media hosting and serving. Our services,
systems and applications can now scale to encompass jobs requiring high
performance and large quantities. We can assist customers to get their media to
market rapidly and effectively. Examples of the types of services we provide
that are included in the Streamedia Digital Solutions:
Encoding Services
To be distributed over the Web, all audio and video content must be encoded. We
are able to convert content from all major input formats, whether analog or
digital, and convert them to the common streaming media formats for distribution
at a full range of bit rates. We can capture source content via tapes, satellite
transfer, compact disks, FTP, and other methods.
We offer encoding services to our customers through our internal staff. In
addition, we have understandings with major vendors to process any high volume
work we may need to complete.
22
We offer encoding in a number of digital formats, including MPEG, QuickTime,
AVI, Microsoft's Windows Media Player and RealNetworks' RealServer 7.0.
Digital Security
After we have encoded, we can also generate watermarking, encryption, or other
digital rights and security technologies to protect and manage content.
Information can be embedded within digital audio or video to provide copyright
and intellectual property protection. Such processes have become particularly
important to rights holders wishing to protect their economic interest in
properties they have bought or created.
Metadata Collection and Analysis
Our encoding processes generate substantial metadata to augment the media file
proper. Such information includes fields indicating an artist, director, title,
style, keywords, or any other field appropriate to a given project. Metadata
files allow content owners and users to search, track, protect, and manage their
digital media content in a more effective manner. We increase the value of video
to content owners by enabling them to use their video in targeted applications
such as advertising and electronic commerce.
Broadcast Production
Our staff includes numerous broadcast industry professionals with cable and
network television broadcast production experience. Their skills have adapted to
working within the unique parameters of producing for a web experience. We
provide a full range of services, spanning from pre- to post production, live
events, the construction of studios and edit bays, treatments and scriptwriting.
Web Design
Our web design team can develop channels through which our customers can
distribute their programming. They can conceptualize and execute an entire
corporate presence. Our web developers have core competencies in such areas as:
o Conceptual development
o Graphic interface design
o 3-D design and animation
o Multimedia applications
o Interactive components
o Intranets/Extranets
o Database design
o CD-ROM development
o Network applications
23
o Connectivity tools
o E-Commerce applications
o Interactive kiosks
Web and Media Distribution
We provide complete solutions for hosting and serving web pages and multimedia.
Our customers can store video and audio clips at our hosting facility or at
distributed networks, such as the Real Broadcast Network, for which we have a
reseller relationship. We have built and continue to build out an in-house data
center, and our technicians integrate servers and connectivity to other Networks
and service providers.
ADVERTISING, SPONSORSHIP, SUBSCRIPTION & E-COMMERCE
Streamedia's Networks provide narrowcast models for advertisers. Our programming
will help focus like-minded users/viewers on specific categories of
entertainment, education and information programming.
Traditional broadcasters have limited capacity to measure or identify in real
time their listeners or viewers. In contrast, Internet broadcasters can target
advertising with a precision that television and cable broadcasters cannot. Use
of the latest personalization technologies will allow us to gather specific data
on users/viewers for advertisers.
In order to build enduring visitor relationships we plan to build our visitor
acquisition and support practices based on one-to-one marketing strategies. To
maintain a competitive edge, we plan to continuously learn from interactions
with individual visitors. Our strategy is to aggressively respond to the
information those interactions elicit, and engage our customers to ensure they
never want to leave.
We can make our visitors more loyal and more profitable to Streamedia by
establishing a "Learning Relationship" with each of them, starting with the most
valuable visitors. A Learning Relationship is a relationship that gets smarter
and smarter with every user interaction. The user tells us of some need, and we
customize our product and services to meet that need. Then with each interaction
our products get better and better at fitting themselves to that particular
visitor. Now, even if a competitor offers similar type of customization and
interaction, the visitor won't be able to get the same level of convenience from
the competitor until the visitor re-teaches the competitor what he or she has
already spent time and energy teaching us. In effect, our product becomes more
and more valuable to a visitor with each successful interaction and transaction.
Raw Materials
The use of raw materials is not now a material factor in our operations.
24
Competition
We believe our approach to establishing Streamedia as an emerging leader in its
fields reduces the threat of competition. Nevertheless, the market for Internet
broadcasting and news distribution services is highly competitive. We expect
that competition will continue to increase. We compete with:
o Other websites, Internet portals, dial-up software applications and
Internet broadcasters to acquire and provide content and act as a
gateway to attract users,
o Other providers of Internet professional services;
o Other providers of website design and development consulting services;
and
o Other providers of application service providers and hosting, storage,
serving, streaming, encoding, and media management services.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully or that
the competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Competition among
websites that provide compelling content, including streaming media content, is
intense, and we expect competition to increase significantly in the future.
Traditional media may expend resources to establish a more significant Internet
presence in the future. These companies have significantly greater brand
recognition and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than
us. We also compete with other Internet technical service providers.
Dependence on a Few Major Customers
Streamedia is not dependent on any one customer for any material percentage of
our revenues.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements, or
Labor Contracts, Including Duration
We regard some components of technology still in development stage as
proprietary and will attempt to protect those components with patents,
copyrights, trade secret laws, restrictions on disclosure and other methods.
We pursue registration of our trademarks and service marks. We have, for
example, undertaken to protect our right to use the names "Stream,"
"Streamedia," "Stream Wire," "Streamedia Webcasting," "StreamGuide,"
"StreamPlayer," "StreamTuner," and other names and logos unique to Streamedia by
filing for trademark registration with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office. Our applications are still open pending potential opposition from third
parties. If there is no opposition filed in the Office of Patent and Trademark,
we will be granted these marks. There has been no opposition filed to date.
Need for Government Approval
25
The Company does not require approval of any government agency to produce or
market its services.
Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations on the Business
Certain existing laws or regulations specifically regulate communications or
commerce on the web. Moreover, laws and regulations that address issues such as
user privacy, pricing, online content regulations, taxation and the
characteristics and quality of online products and services are under
consideration by federal, state, local and foreign governments and agencies.
Several telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal Communications
Commission to regulate Internet service providers and online services providers
in a manner similar to the regulation of long distance telephone carriers and to
impose access fees on such companies. Such regulation, if imposed, could
increase the cost of transmitting data over the web. Moreover, it could take
years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to issues such as
intellectual property ownership and infringement, libel, obscenity, and personal
privacy are applicable to the web. The Federal Trade Commission and government
agencies in certain states have been investigating certain Internet companies
regarding their use of personal information. Any new laws regulating and/or
relating to the web, or certain application or interpretation of existing laws,
could decrease the growth in the use of the web, decrease the demand for our
website or otherwise materially adversely affect our business.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
In June 1999, the board of directors adopted the 1999 Incentive and Nonstatutory
Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan"). An amendment to increase the share reserve
was retroactively adopted by the Board in December 1999. In May 2000, the
shareholders approved an increase to the share reserve to 1,000,000 from
500,000.
TERMS OF THE 1999 PLAN
The following is a summary of the principle features of the 1999 Plan, as
amended. The summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of
all of the provisions of the 1999 Plan.
Options granted under the 1999 Plan may be either incentive stock options
designed to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or
non-statutory options not intended to satisfy such requirements.
Administration
The Board of Directors has the exclusive authority to administer the 1999 Plan.
However, the Board may delegate this authority to a compensation committee which
must be comprised of at least two non-employee directors.
31
The Board of Directors and/or the Committee have authority to (a) grant, in its
discretion, Incentive Stock Options in accordance with Code section 422 or
Nonstatutory Options; (b) determine in good faith the fair market value of the
stock covered by an Option; (c) determine which eligible persons shall be
granted Options, the number of shares to be covered by the Options and the
restrictions, terms and conditions thereof; (d) construe and interpret the Plan;
(e) promulgate, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to its
administration, and correct defects, omissions and inconsistencies in the Plan
or any Option; (f) consistent with the Plan and with the consent of the
Optionee, as appropriate, amend any outstanding Option or amend the exercise
date or dates; (g) determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which
may be granted to Optionees without constituting termination of their employment
for the purpose of the Plan; and (h) make all other determinations necessary or
advisable for the Plan's administration.
Share Reserve
Currently, a total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been authorized for
issuance under the 1999 Plan.
Eligibility
Employees, officers, directors and consultants in the service of the Company
will be eligible to participate in the 1999 Incentive and Nonstutory Stock
Option Plan. As of June 30, 2000, three Executive Officers, four non-associate
Board members, and 28 other employees were eligible to participate in the 1999
Plan.
Valuation
Fair market value per share of Common Stock on any relevant date under the 1999
Plan will be the average of the bid and asked prices (or the closing price if
the stock is listed on the NASDAQ National Market System) on the date of grant
of the option, or if listed on a stock exchange, the closing price on such
exchange on the date of grant.
Price and Exercisability
Any Optionee who at the time of the grants owns stock possessing more than ten
percent (10%) of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of
stock of the Corporation, ("Ten Percent Holder") shall have an exercise price of
no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of the
Common Stock as of the date of grant.
Incentive stock options granted to an optionee who at the time of the grant is
not a Ten Percent Holder shall have an exercise price of no less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the
date of grant.
Nonstatutory Options granted to optionee who at the time the grant is not a Ten
Percent Holder shall have an exercise price of no less than eighty-five percent
(85%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant.
32
No optionee will have any Stockholder rights with respect to the option shares
until such optionee has exercised the option and paid the exercise price for the
purchased shares. Options are generally not assignable or transferable other
than by will or the laws of inheritance and, during the optionee's lifetime, the
option may be exercised only by such optionee.
Termination of Service
Upon the Optionee's cessation of service, the optionee will have a limited
period of time in which to exercise any outstanding option to the extent
exercisable for vested shares. With respect to nonstatutory options, the Board
of Directors will have the authority to extend or accelerate the period after
the optionee's cessation of service during which optionee's outstanding options
may be exercised.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During 1998 and 1999, and since the inception of Streamedia, certain e-mail
distribution systems owned and/or administered by one or both of two of the

Corporation, were provided to the Company for its StreamWire division and its

distribution systems. During 1998, the Company issued 25,000 shares of Common
Stock to its legal counsel, Kogan & Taubman, L.L.C., as partial consideration
for services rendered in connection with our initial public offering.
The Company engaged Kaleidoscope Media Group to help it acquire programming
content for its sites and to develop a syndication strategy. Henry Siegel, a
member of the Company's Board of Directors, served as the CEO of Kaleidoscope
Media Group until recently and during the time of this contract. In
consideration of Kaleidoscope Media Group's providing of these services, on
August 2, 1999, Kaleidoscope Media Group was paid $10,000. In September 1999, we
paid $10,000 to Kaleidoscope Media Group for consulting services and starting in

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTED SECURITIES
On May 16, 1999, we sold 264,490 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share
pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The Common
35
Stock was offered to a discreet group of accredited investors without the
benefit of general solicitation or advertising. We raised $523,980 from this
private placement in order to provide bridge financing for our initial public
offering.
On August 24, 1999, we issued $1,815,000 of debt securities in the form of
promissory notes which bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The notes were
offered pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D only to accredited investors, with
no general solicitation or advertising. The notes were offered as a unit, each
unit consisting of a promissory note in the principal amount of $15,000 and a
warrant entitling the holder to purchase 9,000 shares of our Common Stock at a
$8.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning December 21, 2000, and
ending on the date five years following the date that the warrants were issued.
The holders of the warrants have certain "piggyback" registration rights with
respect to the shares underlying the warrants. Specifically, the holders are
entitled to include their shares if the Company files a registration statement
with Commission during the period beginning December 21, 2000, and ending on
December 21, 2001.
We issued securities to officers, directors, and consultants as compensation for
services rendered to us. Also, in 1998, we issued 25,000 shares of Common Stock

consultant in exchange for services. On March 9, 2000, we issued 7,000 shares of
our restricted Common Stock to Atlantic Pacific Music as a consulting fee. These
shares, when issued, are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as these sales do not involve public offerings of our
stock.
On March 10, 2000, we sold 37,500 shares of unregistered Common Stock to a
former employee, pursuant to the exercise of stock options issued in 1999 in
accordance with our stock option plan. These shares were exempt from
registration pursuant to Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as the options
were issued prior to the effective date of our registration statement.
On March 31, 2000, we closed on a tax-free reorganization with Eons Ahead, Inc.,
a New York boutique web design firm. In that acquisition, we issued 129,354
shares of our restricted Common Stock to the three shareholders of Eons Ahead,
Inc. This issuance of these shares was exempt from registration under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 because the sale did not involve any public
offering of our stock.
On March 31, 2000, we acquired the certain web site domains and production
assets from Kudzu NewMedia and Bijou Cafe.com for 20,000 shares of our
restricted Common Stock at a value on the effective date of $76,886. These
shares, when issued, are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as this sale does not involve a public offering of our
stock.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value.
As of June 30, 2000, there were 4,730,044 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding. Shareholders are entitled to share ratably in any dividends paid on
the Common Stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Each share
of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Cumulative voting is denied. There are
no preemptive or redemption rights available to holders of Common Stock. Upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Streamedia, the holders of Common
Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for
distribution. All outstanding shares of Common Stock and the units (and shares
underlying these units) to be issued in our initial public offering will be
fully paid and non-assessable.
The Warrants
The warrants to be issued in this offering will be issued under, governed by,
and subject to the terms of a Warrant Agreement between Streamedia and the
American Securities Transfer & Trust, Inc., as warrant agent. The following
statements are brief summaries of certain provisions of the Warrant Agreement.
Copies of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained from Streamedia or the warrant
agent and have been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The warrants included in the units will be exercisable commencing December 21,
2000. The warrants contain provisions that protect the warrant holders against
dilution by adjustment of the exercise price in certain events, including but
not limited to stock dividends, stock splits, reclassification or mergers. A
warrant holder will not possess any rights as a shareholder of Streamedia.
Shares of Common Stock, when issued upon the exercise of the warrants, will be
fully paid and non-assessable.
Commencing on December 21, 2000, we may redeem some or all of the warrants at a
call price of $0.05 per warrant, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice if
the closing sale price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market has
equaled or exceeded 150% of the offering price per share for ten (10)
consecutive days.
The warrants may be exercised only if a current prospectus relating to the
underlying Common Stock is then in effect and only if the shares are qualified
for sale or exempt from registration under the securities laws of the state or
states in which the purchaser resides. So long as the warrants are outstanding,
we have undertaken to file all post-effective amendments to the Registration
Statement required to be filed under the Securities Act, and to take appropriate
action under federal law and the securities laws of those states were the
warrants were initially offered to permit us to issue, and you to resell the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. However, there can be no
assurance that we will be in a position to effect such action, and our failure
to do so may cause the exercise of the warrants and the resale or other
disposition of the Common Stock issued upon such exercise to become unlawful. We
may amend the terms of the warrants, but only by extending the termination date
or lowering the exercise price of the warrants. We have no present intention of
37
amending such terms. However, there can be no assurance we will not have an
intention in the future to amend the warrant terms.
The Board of Directors, without further action by the shareholders, is
authorized to issue up to 100,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value.
The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets
available for distribution to holders of the Common Stock. In addition, the
issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control. We have no plans or commitments to issue any
shares of preferred stock. We will issue preferred stock only upon approval by a
majority of our independent directors who do not have an interest in the
transaction and who have access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or
independent legal counsel.
38
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
As of June 30, 2000, we had 4,730,044 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Of
these shares, the 1,240,000 shares sold in the initial public offering are
freely tradable in the public market without restriction under the Securities
Act, except shares purchased by an "affiliate" (as defined in the Securities
Act) of ours. The remaining 3,326,504 shares are "restricted shares" within the
meaning of the Securities Act and may be publicly sold only if registered under
the Securities Act or sold in accordance with an applicable exemption from
registration, such as those provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose
shares are aggregated) is entitled to sell restricted shares if at least one
year has passed since the later of the date such shares were acquired from the
company or any affiliate of the company. Rule 144 provides, however, that,
within any three-month period, such person may only sell up to the greater of 1%
of the then outstanding shares of the company's Common Stock (approximately
47,300 shares as of June 30, 2000) or the average weekly trading volume in the
company's Common Stock during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the
date on which the notice of the sale is filed with the Commission. Sales
pursuant to Rule 144 also are subject to certain other requirements relating to
manner of sale, notice of sale and availability of current public information.
Any person who has not been an affiliate of the company for a period of ninety
(90) days preceding a sale of restricted shares is entitled to sell such shares
under Rule 144 without regard to such limitations if at least two years have
passed since the later of the date such shares were acquired from the company or
any affiliate of the company. Shares held by persons who are deemed to be
affiliated with the company are subject to such volume limitations regardless of
how long they have been owned or how they were acquired.
Without consideration of contractual restrictions described below, an aggregate
of 3,326,504 shares of Common Stock, representing 70.4% of the outstanding
shares of the Common Stock, are eligible for sale in the public market pursuant
to Rule 144. We are unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold
from time to time under Rule 144, since such number will depend upon the market
price and trading volume for the Common Stock, the personal circumstances of the
sellers and other factors.
Executive officers, directors and senior management own 65.54% of the shares of
the Common Stock. Our shareholders and directors entered into an agreement with
the Underwriters providing that they will not sell or otherwise dispose of any
shares of Common Stock held by them, which were issued prior to the initial
public offering, until December 21, 2000, without the prior written consent of
the Underwriters. The 1999 warrants are subject to an unconditional one-year
lock-up until December 21, 2000, which prevents a holder of the 1999 warrants
from exercising such warrants or otherwise transferring, conveying, or assigning
such warrants for such one-year period.
39
We cannot make any predictions as to the effect, if any, that offers or sales of
these shares would have on the market price of the Common Stock. Nevertheless,
sales of significant amounts of restricted shares in the public markets could
adversely affect the fair market price of Common Stock, as well as impair our
ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional equity securities.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We were not a party to any material legal proceedings as of June 30, 2000, or as
of the date of this filing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Stockholders
STREAMEDIA COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Streamedia Communications,
Inc. (the "Company") (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999, the period from inception
(January 13, 1998) through December 31, 1998 and the cumulative period from
inception (January 13, 1998) through December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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.
As discussed in Note A, the financial statements referred to above have been
retroactively restated.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Streamedia Communications, Inc.
(a development stage company) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1999, the
period from inception (January 13, 1998) through December 31, 1998 and the
cumulative period from inception (January 13, 1998) through December 31, 1999,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is a development stage
enterprise engaged in providing Internet-based media programming and content on
the Web. To date, the Company has engaged in organizational and pre-operating
activities and needs to secure additional capital and customers to continue
operations. As discussed in Notes A and B to the financial statements, the
Company's existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital,
among other things, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also
described in Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Streamedia Communications, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Streamedia Communications, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the
State of Delaware and is positioning itself as a vertically-integrated New
Media content generator, enabler and aggregator. The Company's two
divisions are The Streamedia Networks and Business Services. In December
1999, the Company completed its initial public offering (the "Offering").
The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $8,447,000.
The Company is in the development stage. The Streamedia Networks consist of
a suite of topical broadcast networks to deliver or "stream" live and
on-demand audio and video programming. The Streamedia Networks sites intend
to offer programming in areas such as, but not limited to, business,
sports, women's issues, parenting, travel, education, religion, politics,
health, teen and children's interests, shopping, real estate, music,
technology, personal fitness, movies, entertainment and lifestyles. The
Company has chosen "Crime Broadcast", "Sports Style", "Motion Arts" and
"Women on the Edge" as its initial network launches. The Streamedia
Networks will include StreamWire(TM), which will consist of a series of
focused, subject-oriented, edited news and information products, such as
wires devoted to NASDAQ or Amex-listed companies.
The Streamedia Business Services division will market Internet and intranet
broadcasting services to a wide spectrum of enterprises, such as, but not
limited to, businesses, associations, electronic publishers and "off-line"
media generators, who are attempting to obtain an Internet broadcast
presence. The division will attempt to deliver multimedia and text through
a variety of push, poll and proprietary electronic mail mechanisms.
The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
including actual and potential competition by entities with greater
financial resources, experience and market presence, risks associated with
the development of the Internet market, risks associated with consolidation
in the industry, the need to manage growth and expansion, certain
technology and regulatory risks and dependence upon sole and limited
suppliers.

Streamedia Communications, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE A (CONTINUED)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that
the Company will continue as a going concern which assumes the realization
of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Since its inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational and
pre-operating activities. Further, the Company has generated no revenues
and incurred losses. Continuation of the Company's existence is dependent
upon its ability to obtain additional capital, secure and execute strategic
alliances to develop news and information content and sustain profitable
operations. The uncertainty related to these conditions raises substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During March 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of Eons Ahead,
Inc. ("Eons") through a stock-for-stock tax-free reorganization. Under the
terms of the acquisition, accounted for as a pooling of interests, the
Company exchanged 129,354 shares of Company common stock for all of Eons
common stock. Eons is a technology-based company, incorporated on August
13, 1998, which designs, markets and develops strategies for other
entities. The accompanying financial statements have been retroactively
restated to reflect the combined financial position and combined results of
operations and cash flows of the Company and Eons, as if the pooling had
occurred on January 13, 1998.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting
policies:

Licenses
Costs associated with software licensed from vendors are capitalized and
amortized over the term of the licenses, generally one to two years.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated
useful lives or the term of the underlying lease. Estimated useful lives by
class of assets are as follows:
Computer equipment and software 3 years
Software development costs 3 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or lease term
The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets periodically.
If there is an indication of impairment of such assets, the amount of
impairment, if any, is charged to operations in the period in which
impairment is determined.
Software Development Costs
Software developed for internal use is capitalized or expensed in
accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". This standard
requires companies to capitalize qualifying computer software costs
incurred during the application development stage and amortize them over
the software's useful life (three years). Costs incurred in the preliminary
project stage and for application maintenance are expensed. As of December
31, 1999, the Company capitalized $150,513 of development costs related to
internal use software. Accumulated amortization aggregates approximately
$12,500 at December 31, 1999.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value due to
their relatively short maturities.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in
accordance with provision of APB No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and its related Interpretations and complies with disclosure
provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The
Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123.
Income Taxes
The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method,
which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A
valuation allowance is recognized to the extent a portion or all of a
deferred tax asset may not be considered realizable.
Deferred Offering Costs
Costs incurred in connection with the Offering were deferred until the
transaction was consummated in December 1999.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share are presented in conformity with SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98
("SAB 98"). Under SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. It also requires a reconciliation
of the numerator and denominator of the basic net loss per share to the
numerator and denominator of the diluted net loss per share. As of December
31, 1999, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes an
aggregate of 2,889,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of
warrants and employee stock options, as the effect of such shares would be
anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Statements of Cash Flows
The Company considers all investment instruments with an original maturity
of three months or less to be the equivalent of cash for purposes of
balance sheet presentation and for the statements of cash flows. The
Company paid interest and income taxes of $82,872 and $680 respectively
during the year ended December 31, 1999. During 1999, the Company acquired
approximately $56,000 of computer equipment under a capital lease.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is in the development stage. Since its inception, the Company
has been engaged in organizational and pre-operating activities. Further,
the Company has generated no revenues and incurred losses. The Company
continues to be subject to various risks, including the need for additional
financing, dependence on key personnel and the establishment of its
operations as a viable business model. Furthermore, the Company is subject
to the risks and uncertainties associated with Internet commerce.
If the Company does not receive additional funding during the year ending
December 31, 2000, it believes that scaling back on planned expansion and
reducing costs will be sufficient to meet working capital and capital
expenditure requirements through such date. Thereafter, if cash generated
by operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company's liquidity
requirements, it may need to sell additional equity or debt securities to
continue as a going concern.

In November 1999, the Company's Board of Directors granted stock options to
an employee to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $7.50 per share. Such options vest ratably over two years from September
15, 1999.
In October 1999, the Company granted a consultant options to acquire
150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the Offering
price. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, 132,500 options vest
immediately and the remaining 18,500 options vest ratably over one year
commencing November 14, 1999. On November 23, 1999, the Company modified
the consulting agreement to provide for (i) the cancellation of the options
to acquire 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock and (ii) the
reissuance of an equal number of options to be granted on December 22,
1999, the effective date of the Offering (which 130,000 options vested
immediately and the balance vested ratably over the next thirty days
following the effective date of the Offering), at an exercise price equal
to the Offering price. These options were valued at $763,500, based on the
Offering price of $8.50, which was recognized as a charge to operations
during the year ended December 31, 1999.
In August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors granted stock options to
an executive officer, directors and a consultant to purchase an aggregate
of 63,000 shares, 30,000 shares and 10,000 shares of common stock,
respectively, at an exercise price of $7.50 per share, which vest
immediately. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded a
charge to operations of $50,900, representing the estimated fair market
value of the option granted to the consultant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.
Further, the Company's Board of Directors granted stock options in August
1999 to an employee to purchase 110,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $2.00 per share (a price below the estimated fair market
value of the Company's common stock of $7.50 on the date of issuance). Of
the 110,000 options, 75% vest ratably over three years from the date of
grant for which compensation expense of $453,750 is recognizable over such
period. The remaining 25% of such options vest upon achieving certain
performance-based criteria, which occurred during May 2000. Compensation
expense for these options will be recognized based on the intrinsic value
of such options at the time the performance-based criteria are achieved.
Compensation expense relating to these options of $126,100 was recognized
for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

Notes Payable
In August 1999, the Company issued a series of promissory notes to
investors bearing interest at the stated rate of 10% per annum for an
aggregate principal amount of $1,815,000. Each note was part of a unit
which consisted of (i) a $15,000 promissory note and (ii) a warrant to
purchase up to 9,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company
issued an aggregate of 121 warrants to these investors to purchase
1,089,000 shares in total of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price equal to the Offering price of $8.50. Each warrant may be exercised
twelve months after the closing date of the Offering or before July 31,
2004. Each note was payable in full the earlier of (i) July 31, 2002 or
(ii) on the effective date of the Offering. On December 27, 1999, the
Company repaid the aggregate principal of these notes plus accrued interest
from the net proceeds of the Offering. Financing costs incurred amounted to
$231,500 and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim unaudited financial statements include the accounts of
Streamedia Communications, Inc. ("Streamedia" or the "Company") and the
accounts of companies acquired in business combinations accounted for under
(1) the purchase method from their respective acquisition date and (2) the
pooling of interests method, giving retroactive effect for all periods
presented. See Note C for the effects of the pooling on previously reported
revenues, net loss and loss per share resulting from the business
combination with Eons Ahead, Inc., which was acquired by the Company during
March 2000 and accounted for as a pooling of interests.
The balance sheet as of June 30, 2000 and the related statements of
operations for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, and cumulative from January 13, 1998 (date of inception) to June 30,
2000, stockholders' equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 and
cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 have been
prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal, recurring accrual adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2000 and
for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1999. Results of operations for the period ended June
30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected
for the full year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(unaudited)
NOTE B (CONTINUED)
The Company is in the development stage. Streamedia Networks consist of a
suite of topical broadcast networks to deliver or "stream" live and
on-demand audio and video programming. The Streamedia Networks sites intend
to offer programming in Streamedia Communications, Inc. areas such as, but
not limited to, business, sports, women's issues, parenting, travel,
education, religion, politics, health, teen and children's interests,
shopping, real estate, music, technology, personal fitness, movies,
entertainment and lifestyles. The Company has chosen "Crime Broadcast,"
"Sports Style," "Motion Arts" and "Women on the Edge" as its initial
network launches. The Streamedia Networks will include StreamWire which
will consist of a series of focused, subject-oriented, edited news and
information products, such as wires devoted to NASDAQ or Amex-listed
companies.
Streamedia Business Services division will market Internet and intranet
broadcasting services to a wide spectrum of enterprises, such as, but not
limited to, businesses, associations, electronic publishers and "off-line"
media generators, who are attempting to obtain an Internet broadcast
presence.
The division will attempt to deliver multimedia and text through a variety
of push, poll and proprietary electronic mail mechanisms. The Company's
operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including actual
and potential competition by entities with greater financial resources,
experience and market presence, risks associated with the development of
the Internet markets, risks associated with consolidation in the industry,
the need to manage growth and expansions, certain technology and regulatory
risks and dependence upon sole and limited suppliers.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that
the Company will continue as a going concern which assumes the realization
of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Since its inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational and
pre-operating activities. Further, the Company has generated nominal
revenues and incurred losses. Continuation of the Company's existence is
dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital, secure and execute
strategic alliances to develop news and information content and sustain
profitable operations. The uncertainty related to these conditions raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE C (CONTINUED)
On March 31, 2000, the Company purchased certain web site domains and
production assets from Kudzu NewMedia and Bijou Cafe.com (collectively,
"Bijou") for 20,000 shares of the Company's stock, valued on the effective
date of agreement at approximately $76,000, representing the fair market
value of the assets acquired. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase, and accordingly, the statements of operations include the results
of operations of Bijou since acquistion. The operations of Bijou are not
significant to the Company's operations.
NOTE D - LOSS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted net loss per share are presented in conformity with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"),
"Earnings Per Share," and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98").
Under SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. It also requires a reconciliation of the
numerator and denominator of the basic net loss per share to the numerator
and denominator of the diluted net loss per share. As of June 30, 2000, the
calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes an aggregate of
3,152,908 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and
employee stock options, as the effect of such shares would be antidilutive
for all periods presented.
NOTE E - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Initial Public Offering
On December 27, 1999, the Company completed its Offering, which consisted
of 1,200,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and
one redeemable warrant, at an offering price of $8.50 per unit. Each
redeemable warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common
stock at $12.75 per share, at any time from issuance until December 21,
2004. Such warrants are redeemable by the Company, with the prior written
consent of the underwriter, at a redemption price of $.05 commencing May
17, 2000 provided that the closing price of the common stock is at least
$12.75 per share for 10 (ten) consecutive trading days. In addition, there
was an overallotment option for 180,000 units, of which 40,000 units were
exercised by the underwriter in January 2000, for net aggregate proceeds of
$299,200.

NOTE E (CONTINUED)
In August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors granted stock options
pursuant to the Company's 1999 Incentive and Nonstatutory Option Plan (the
"1999 Plan") to an employee to purchase 110,000 shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $2.00 per share (a price below the estimated fair
market value of the Company's common stock of $7.50 on the date of
issuance). Of the 110,000 options, 75% vest ratably over three years from
the date of grant for which compensation expense of $453,750 is
recognizable over such period. The remaining 25% of such options vest upon
achieving certain performance-based criteria, which are expected to occur
during the year ending December 31, 2000. Compensation expense for these
options will be recognized based on the intrinsic value of such options at
the time the performance-based criteria are achieved. Compensation expense
relating to these options of approximately $126,100 was recognized for the
six months ending June 30, 2000.
In May 2000, the shareholders of the Company approved a 500,000 share
increase in the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance under
the 1999 Plan.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors
granted stock options under the 1999 plan to certain employees to purchase
an aggregate of 261,408 shares of common stock at exercise prices
representing the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the
time of the respective grants.
