The financial statements being presented include the accounts of eUniverse, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company previously engaged in sales of audio CD's, videotapes (VHS), and digital videodisks ("DVD's") over the Internet, prior to the discontinuation of these operations in October 2000. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Note 2: Accounting Policies INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes as contained in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes service revenue upon fulfillment and delivery of customer's advertising. Additionally, the Company derives revenue from the sale of non-refundable memberships and sponsorships that are recognized ratably as earned. The Company also earns revenue from services and electronic commerce transactions. Service revenues include fees from the sale of non-refundable memberships and sponsorships that are recognized ratably as earned. Service revenues also include fees from the sale of non-refundable dating credits, which are recognized at the time of purchase. These credits are utilized in the Company's dating service. For electronic commerce transactions, the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of its products. Revenue includes shipping and handling charges. Fulfillment for these products is outsourced to an independent third party. 6 eUNIVERSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2001 Revenues from barter transactions are recorded at the lower of the estimated fair value of advertisements received or the estimated fair value of the advertisements given with the difference recorded as an advance or prepaid. During the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded $325,000 and $124,612 as bartered advertising revenue, respectively. With respect to the discontinued CD, VHS and DVD sales operation, the Company recognized revenue upon shipment of its products. Revenue included shipping and handling charges. The Company also maintained a partner program whereby partners provided links on their websites that brought customers to the CD Universe website. Revenue generated from these linked sites was recognized upon shipment of the products. The partner received a commission of 5% to 15% of sales of the Company's products that originated from the site, recognized as a selling expense concurrent with the sale. INVENTORY Inventory is composed of products held by an unrelated third party who operates the Company's order fulfillment. Inventory is purchased and title is transferred to the Company automatically as we accept orders from customers. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets consist of goodwill, customer lists, and domain names. Excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (or goodwill) was amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years effective January 1, 2001. These assets will be assessed for impairment annually or upon an adverse change in operations. Customer lists and domain names are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 3 and 5 years, respectively. Through December 31, 2000, goodwill and domain names were amortized over 10 years. Effective April 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS141 and SFAS142. Should events or circumstances occur subsequent to the acquisition of a business, which bring into question the realization or impairment of the related goodwill, the Company will evaluate the remaining useful life and balance of goodwill and make adjustments, if required. The Company's principal consideration in determining an impairment includes the strategic benefit to the Company of the particular assets as measured by undiscounted current and future operating income of that specified group of assets and expected undiscounted cash flows. Should an impairment be identified, a loss would be reported to the extent that the carrying value of the related goodwill exceeds the fair value of that goodwill as determined by discounted future cash flows. ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising, are charged to operations when incurred. The costs of direct-response advertising, if any, are capitalized and amortized over the period during which future benefits are expected to be received. During the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, advertising expense from continuing operations amounted to $816,168 and $1,203,213, respectively. The Company had no direct-response advertising during the periods presented. 7 eUNIVERSE, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2001 LONG TERM DEBT, AFFILIATES In July 2001, the Company amended its agreement with an employee for the purchase of Funnygreetings.com. Under the prior agreement, the Company was obligated to pay $2,000,000. Under the new agreement, the Company reduced the obligation to $1,200,000 less $86,000 already received by the seller. The Company made an additional payment of $129,814 in connection with Company financing which closed as of October 23, 2001 with 550 Digital Media Ventures (see Note 14 - Subsequent Events). The remaining balance of $984,146 shall be payable in thirty monthly installments subject to certain advertising revenues being achieved on the Funnygreeting.com web site. In the event revenue performance is not achieved in a given month, the monthly payment is reduced to $20,000. The total current portion of this debt is $393,672 Note 7: Earnings Per Share The computation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. Securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows: September 30, 2001 2000 ------ ------ Convertible preferred stock.......... Warrants............................. 2,463,895 2,752,469 Options ............................. 5,184,902 6,723,947 ---------- ---------- Total ............................... 7,648,797 9,476,416 ========== ========== Note 8: Discontinued Operations In September 2000, the Company decided to discontinue its CD and DVD e-commerce operations. This segment consisted of the sale of CD's, DVD's and videotapes, and computer games. The sale of the assets relating to this segment was consummated on October 10, 2000. The assets were sold to CLBL, Inc., a Connecticut corporation owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. The proceeds from the sale consisted solely of a note receivable from the purchaser in the amount of $1,000,000. The purchaser has paid off this loan, in its entirety, as of the date of these statements. Net losses from the discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2001, and 2000 were $71,400 and $13,606,150, respectively. As a result of this discontinuance, the consolidated financial statements of eUniverse, Inc. and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements and supplemental data have been restated to reflect the results of operations and assets of the e-commerce segment of business as a discontinued operation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The loss on 10 eUNIVERSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2001 disposal of the e-commerce segment was approximately $9.9M. This loss provided for reserves necessary to write down assets disposed of to their net realizable values. Note 9: Major Customers In the six months ended September 30, 2001, approximately 44% of the Company's revenues resulted from five customers ranging from 5% to 12% of revenues. In the six months ended September 30, 2000, approximately 60% of revenues resulted from the top five customers. Note 10: Business Combinations In July 2001, the Company purchased the assets and web site of expage.com for $240,000 to be paid in installments of $10,000 per month over a 24 month period. In addition to the purchase, the Company agreed to pay a portion of net revenue generated from the web site over the next 24 months. Should the amount of the seller's portion of the net revenue be less than $110,000 at the end of 24 months, the Company will pay the seller monthly payments of the greater of 10% of net monthly revenues or $10,000 until the seller has received $110,000. As of July 13, 2001, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with 550 Digital Media Ventures, Inc. (the "Investor"), a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment, Inc., for the purchase of web site and other assets owned by Indimi, L.L.C. ("Indimi"), known as the Infobeat business ("Infobeat") in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price of $9.94 million will exceed the fair value of the net assets of Infobeat by an estimated $9.6 million. In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to redeem a warrant issued to the Investor for the Company's common stock valued at $1 million. The Company will test the amount of purchased goodwill and other intangibles for impairment on annual basis or upon the occurrence of an adverse event in accordance with SFAS141 Business Combinations and SFAS142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which were approved in July 2001. The results of operations of Indimi will be included with the results of the Company from July 13, 2001. Assuming the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2001, the Company's net sales, net income, basic, and diluted earnings per share would have been $5,223,221, $(6,248,209) $(0.28), and $(0.28) for the year ended March 31, 2001. Simultaneously with the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement with the Investor, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by which the Investor agreed to invest $5 million in the Company in exchange for issuance by the Company of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $2.60 per share. As part of this transaction, the secured promissory note due the investor with a current balance of $2,289,764 will be extended until March 31, 2003. The Company may convert this note to preferred shares or common stock, subject to certain conditions. Further information on this transaction and certain related transactions is included in the "Recent Transactions" section of the Company's Form 10-K/A for fiscal year 2001 filed with the SEC on July 30, 2001. (See the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 7, 2001 for details of the closing of this transaction which occurred as of October 23, 2001.) Total goodwill recorded through acquisitions has been amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years through December 31, 2000. Effective beginning with the quarter ended March 2001, the Company revised the amortization period to five years. On April 1, 2001, the Company 11 eUNIVERSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2001 adopted SFAS141 and 142. (see Note 2 - Accounting Policies, Intangible Assets). The Company will no longer amortize goodwill or intangibles with indefinite lives. The operations of the acquired entities have been included in the statements of operations from the dates of acquisition. Had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period, there would have been no change to revenue, net income or earnings per share for the period. Note 11: Amortization And Impairment Of Intangible Assets The net carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles recorded through acquisitions is $6,219,680 as of March 31, 2001. Effective April 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS141 and SFAS142. These assets will be assessed for impairment at least annually or upon an adverse change in operations. The assets were amortized on a straight-line basis over five years effective beginning January 1, 2001. Prior to that date, the Company amortized goodwill and other intangibles on a straight-line basis over ten years. The Company evaluated the reduction in goodwill amortization periods based on management's assessment of future cash flows and the practice of other firms in the Internet industry. Since March 31, 2001, the Company has not noted any material adverse events that could cause an impairment of the net carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets as of September 30, 2001. The following are the goodwill and other intangible assets that will no longer be amortized: September 30, March 31, 2001 2001 ------ ------ Intangible Assets.................... $1,479,699 $1,479,699 Goodwill............................. 4,234,543 4,739,981 The following is the pro forma effect had the six months ended September 30, 2000 been subject to SFAS 141 and 142: Six Months Ended September 30, 2001 2000 ------ ------ Reported Net Income/(Loss) .............. $1,246,673 $(20,789,616) Amortization ............................ -- 1,143,113 ------------ ---------------- Adjusted (Pro Forma) Net Income/(Loss)... $1,246,673 $(19,646,503) ========= ========= Reported Net Income/(Loss) per Share $ .07 $(1.17) Amortization per Share................... .06 --------- --------- Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) per Share..... $ .07 $(1.10) ========= ========= Note: Net Income/(Loss) amounts presented here are prior to any extraordinary items and after discontinued operations. 12 eUNIVERSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2001 Note 12: Commitments And Contingencies (a) The Company leases various facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire within the next four years. Future minimum lease payments under these non-cancelable operating leases are as follows: March 31, 2001 -------------- 2002.................................. $282,710 2003.................................. 234,765 2004.................................. 220,800 2005.................................. 165,600 2006.................................. -- --------- Total $903,875 ========= Rent expense from continuing operations for the reporting periods were as follows: Six Months Ended September 30, ------------------------- 2001 2000 ------ ------ Rent expense.......................... $228,103 $143,704 (b) The Company previously disclosed three lawsuits filed in Alameda County, California (collectively referred to as the "BNI Litigation") involving the Company, Brad Greenspan, the former shareholders of The Big Network, Inc. ("BNI Shareholders"), Stephen Sellers and John Hanke. The BNI Litigation arises out of, among other things, the Company's acquisition of BNI, disposition of the Company shares issued to the BNI Shareholders in connection with the acquisition ("BNI Shares"), and subsequent purported agreements concerning registration and sale of the BNI Shares. On April 18, 2001, the parties to the BNI Litigation participated in a voluntary mediation of their disputes administered by JAMS and presided over by a retired California State Judge. The mediation resulted in the parties executing a term sheet stipulating an enforceable settlement of the BNI Litigation ("BNI Settlement"). The terms of the BNI Settlement have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors and are currently being incorporated into definitive documentation of the settlement. The BNI Settlement principally concerns disposition of the approximately 1,800,000 BNI Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the BNI Settlement, the BNI Shares shall be placed into an escrow from which 37.5% of the shares shall be released to the BNI Shareholders over a period of fifteen (15) months. The Company shall have an option to purchase the remaining 62.5% of the shares ("Company Option") for a period of four (4) years contingent upon the Company making quarterly option payments to the BNI Shareholders to keep the Company Option alive. The Company Option is exercisable at $1.40 per share during the first fifteen (15) months of the Company Option, and $1.75 per share thereafter. The Company is obliged to use 10% of any proceeds received from 13 eUNIVERSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2001 debt or equity financing of between 5 and 10 million dollars, and 20% of the proceeds received from debt or equity financing over 10 million dollars, to exercise the Company Option. In the event the Company fails to make any option payments when due, fails to exercise the Company Option when required, or there is a change of control of the Company, the Option Shares shall be released from escrow to the BNI Shareholders and shall be freely saleable subject to applicable securities regulations. (c) As previously disclosed, on April 23, 2001, EP Opportunity Fund LLC and EP Opportunity Fund International, Ltd. (the "EP Funds") filed a Demand for Arbitration against Entertainment Universe, Inc. ("EUI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Brad Greenspan, Chairman and CEO of the Company, with the American Arbitration Association in Chicago, Illinois ("AAA Arbitration"). The EP Funds asserted breach of contract, fraud and related claims, alleging that the Company and Greenspan breached a fully executed Series A preferred stock subscription agreement and related agreements by (i) failing to register the common stock underlying the preferred stock held in the EP Funds' names and (ii) refusing to issue unrestricted common shares to the EP Funds pursuant to notices of conversion of preferred stock delivered to the Company. The EP Funds claim in excess of $250,000.00 in damages. The EP Funds' preferred stock has since been converted into common shares. The AAA Arbitration panel of arbitrators has been installed, but the case is still in the early stages of the proceeding with no preliminary hearing yet scheduled. The Company does not believe that either EUI or the Company are proper parties to the AAA Arbitration; the EP Funds erroneously named EUI as the Respondent in the AAA Arbitration, and the EP Funds are subject to a different dispute resolution process in connection with their investment in the Company. Moreover, the Company disputes the EP Funds' alleged claims, believes that they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action if and when it is brought in the proper forum. (d) As previously disclosed, on May 1, 2001, Krausz Puente LLC, a California limited liability company, served a Fourth Amended Complaint in the case of Krausz Puente LLC v. slam.site, Inc., et al., pending in the California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles ("Krausz Litigation"), upon Case's Ladder, Inc., a California corporation and a subsidiary of the Company. Case's Ladder was previously named in this case as "Doe 1." The Krausz Litigation primarily concerns breach of a lease obligation by third-party companies ("Lessees") owned by certain former shareholders of Case's Ladder. The plaintiff has added Case's Ladder as a defendant in the Krausz Litigation because it contends that certain assets transferred into Case's Ladder at the time of its incorporation (prior to eUniverse's acquisition of Case's Ladder) were fraudulently transferred from Lessees in an effort to shield the assets from creditors, including the plaintiff. Trial in the Krausz Litigation is currently set for December 14, 2001. Case's Ladder is currently negotiating settlement of all claims against it. The Company does not believe that any settlement will have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. (e) On July 6, 2001, Adolph Komorsky Investments, Inc. ("AKI"), an Illinois corporation with its principal place of business in Tarrytown, New York, filed a complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester. AKI alleges that the Company breached a consulting agreement with AKI by failing and refusing to pay AKI $10,000.00 in cash and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has filed an answer to AKI's complaint denying AKI's allegations and asserting 14 eUNIVERSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2001 defenses to the claims including the failure of AKI to perform its obligations under the consulting agreement. The Company disputes AKI's alleged claims, believes that they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. Note 13: Equity Compensation Plan STOCK COMPENSATION On September 15, 1999, the Company cancelled 1,932,000 stock options, which had been granted to employees on June 15, 1999 with a weighted average exercise price of $9.67 and reissued 1,642,200 (85 percent) options with a weighted average exercise price of $6.00 and a vesting period of three years to the same employees. Compensation expense related to these options of $207,011 has been recorded in the March 31, 2000 financial statements. During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, this amount for $207,011 was reversed to reflect the fact that the fair market value as of the statement date remains below the exercise price of these options. The following table presents the amount of stock-based compensation that would have been recorded under the following income statement categories if the stock-based compensation had not been separately stated in the financial statements. Six Months Ended September 30, ------------------------------ 2001 2000 ---- ---- Marketing and Sales........................... $ -- $ 97,065 Product Development........................... -- (19,656) General and Administrative.................... -- (164,598) ----- ---------- Total stock based compensation................ $ -- $ (87,189) ===== ========== STOCK OPTIONS: Under the Company's 1999 Stock Award Plan, stock options may be granted to officers, directors, employees and consultants. An aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. Typically, options granted under the plan will vest ratably over 3 years with 1/3 vesting after 12 months and the remaining vesting in 1/12 increments each 3 months thereafter. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company granted no options. As of September 30, 2001, 7,152,035 options were outstanding at a weighted average price of $3.27 and 1,965,332 were exercisable at a weighted average price of $4.43. The Company uses the intrinsic value method (APB Opinion 25) to account for its stock options granted to officers, directors, and employees. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded over the vesting period based on the difference between the exercise price and quoted market price on the date the options are granted. Since the company has granted all its stock options at an exercise price equal to or above the quoted market value on the measurement date, no compensation expense related to grants of stock options to employees has been recorded. 15 eUNIVERSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2001 Pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 44, the Company accounts for its re-priced options as a variable plan. Compensation is measured as the difference between the fair market value and the exercise price of the option at the reporting period, recognized in the financial statements over the service period. WARRANTS: The Company has granted warrants to purchase common stock in connection with debt and services. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company transferred warrants for 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock held by Videogame Partners at an exercise price of $1.00 to Saggi Capital, Bridge Ventures and affiliated persons. These warrants were previously disclosed in error as expiring in September 2001. The warrants expire on September 8, 2003. The effect on the Company's financial statements for the prior and current periods is not deemed material. Warrants outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2001 were 3,400,146; with exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $7.00 per share. Note 14: Subsequent Events Subsequent to September 30, 2001 the Company: o Purchased the assets of Hobbyrat.com in October, 2001. The Company agreed to pay a portion of net revenue generated from the assets starting 30 days after the closing date, and ending 12 months thereafter. Should the amount of the seller's portion of the net revenue be less than $50,000 at the end of 12 months, the seller has the right to repurchase the assets at a bargain price unless the Company pays to the seller the difference between $50,000 and the revenue collected by the seller. o Purchased the assets of FitnessHeaven.com in October, 2001. The Company agreed to pay a portion of net revenue generated from the assets starting 30 days after the closing date, and ending 21 months thereafter. The total payments shall not exceed $1.3 million, and should the amount of the seller's portion of the net revenue be less than $110,000 at the end of 21 months, the seller has the right to repurchase the assets at a bargain price unless the Company pays to the seller the difference between $110,000 and the revenue collected by the seller. o Completed the acquisition of Indimi, LLC and Infobeat and the associated preferred stock issuance for $5 million on October 23, 2001. Please see the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 7, 2001 for specific details of the transaction. 16 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the accompanying notes that appear elsewhere in this report. The results for the current quarter reflect the consolidated operations of eUniverse, Case's Ladder and Gamer's Alliance. Results for the comparable period in 2000 include those of eUniverse, Case's Ladder (since May 30, 1999), Gamer's Alliance (since June 30, 1999) and Big Network (since September 1, 1999). Big Network ceased operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. As previously disclosed, effective October 10, 2000 the assets of CD Universe were sold to CLBL, Inc., and the results of that segment are treated as a discontinued operation in the financial statements. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 VS. 2000 NET REVENUES Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 % CHANGE ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Revenues: Media/advertising $5,061 $4,093 24% Products and services $1,642 $0 NA Total Revenues $6,703 $4,093 64% Six Months Ended September 30, ---------------------------------- 2001 2000 % CHANGE ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Revenues: Media/advertising $10,110 $6,864 47% Products and services $ 1,642 $0 NA Total Revenues $11,752 $6,864 71% Media/advertising Media/advertising includes revenues generated by the sale of banner, button, pop-up, text link, opt-in/out and email advertisement products in Company's newsletters, email campaigns, Flowgo Refer-It and the network. 17 The duration of the Company's advertising commitments generally range from one week to three months and the Company enters into Cost Per Click (CPC), Cost Per Impressions (CPM) and Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) agreements with the customers. We recognize as revenues the amount paid to us upon the delivery and fulfillment of advertising, provided that the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Media/Advertising revenue increased by 24% to $5.1 million, or 75% of total revenues, in the second quarter, from $4.1 million, or 100% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000 and increased by 47% to $10.1 million, or 86% of total revenues, in the first half, from $6.9 million, or 100% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000. The increases were attributable to revenue derived from certain acquisitions that have occurred in the past year, from further expansion of our advertising customer base and from the introduction of new revenue generating advertising tools. For the six months ended September 30, the top 5 customers made up 44% of media/advertising revenue, down from 60% the prior year. Products and Services Newly introduced non-ad based business segment Products and Services include revenues generated by the newly launched online dating site Cupid Junction (June 2001) and sales of various e-commerce products and services fulfilled through unaffiliated suppliers (July 2001). These initiatives have enabled the Company to diversify the revenue base beyond advertising. Cupid Junction sells packages of credits to use to contact desired members and AllyoucanInk sells various ink jet cartridges. Revenues from Products and Services for the second quarter were $1.6 million, or 25% of total revenues. Revenue also includes barter and non-cash advertising where we exchange advertising on our network for similarly valued online advertising or other services, or in exchange for equity ownership in the partner. The Company had no barter transactions in the current quarter. In the first half, barter transactions increased to $325,000, or 3% of total revenues, up from $125,000, or 2% of total revenues in the prior period. We expect that advertising revenues will continue to grow as a result of our initiatives to develop our network of sites and as well as realizing economies of scale from recent acquisitions. Additionally, the Company plans to increase its revenue by growing its user base through partnerships and acquisitions. Further, the Company began diversifying its revenue mix by introducing non-ad based products and services, such as the dating service and e-commerce business. 18 OPERATING COSTS Our operating costs were as follows for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------------- 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Operating costs: Cost of revenues ................. $ 887 $ 638 39% Sales and marketing .............. $1,212 $3,140 (61%) Product development .............. $1,775 $1,098 62% General and administrative ....... $1,686 $1,374 23% Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles, stock compensation and other ........................ $ 48 $ 658 (93%) Total Operating Costs ............ $5,560 $6,251 (11%) Six Months Ended September 30, --------------------------------------- 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Operating costs: Cost of revenues ................. $ 1,091 $ 1,212 (10%) Sales and marketing .............. $ 3,019 $ 4,843 (38%) Product development .............. $ 2,814 $ 1,755 60% General and administrative ....... $ 3,166 $ 2,311 37% Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles, stock compensation and other ........................ $ 48 $ 1,056 (95%) Total Operating Costs ............ $10,138 $10,121 (0%) Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues consists of fees paid to third parties for media properties, license arrangements ad revenue sharing arrangements for content and other service providers and cost of products for the commerce business. Cost of revenues increased by 39% to $887,000, or 13% of total revenues, in the second quarter, from $638,000, or 16% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000 and decreased by 10% to $1.1 million, or 9% of total revenues, in the first half, from $1.2 million, or 18% of total revenues, from the same period in 2000. Cost of revenues in the second quarter increased as a result of sales of various products and services in the e-commerce business. We expect cost of revenues to increase as the Company revenue base shifts from primarily ad-based revenue into Products and Services. 19 Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of promotional and advertising costs, personnel costs, commissions, agency and consulting fees, and allocated overhead costs such as computer systems and facilities. The Company has a direct sales force that sells our inventory of advertisements to advertisers and advertising agencies. Sales and marketing costs decreased by 61% to $1.2 million, or 18% of total revenues, in the second quarter, from $3.1 million, or 77% of total revenues, for the same period 2000 and decreased by 38% to $3.0 million, or 26% of total revenues in the first half, from $4.8 million, or 71% of total revenues, for the same period 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the restructuring the Company did in the fourth quarter 2001 which significantly reduced the commission payouts to content creators. Specific changes for the quarter over the same period last year include the following: a decrease in commissions to content creators of $2.2 million, a decline in bad debt expense of $139,000 and reduced consulting services of $182,000. These were partially offset by an increase in advertising and promotion of $430,000. Specific changes for the first half over the same period last year include the following: a decrease in commissions to content creators of $2.1 million, a decrease in consulting services of $241,000 and an increase in bad debt expense of $152,000. Advertising/Promotion expense for the second quarter was $459,000, which included $250,000 of online email advertising and amortization of warrants related to marketing agreements. For the prior year, advertising/promotion expense was $28,000, which included no barter expense. Stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $0 and $97,000 for six months ended September 2001 and 2000, respectively, are excluded from sales and marketing costs and shown separately in the financial statements. The Company successfully restructured the incentive compensation related to certain content creator acquisitions in the fourth quarter 2001 and expects to see a decrease in commissions. The restructuring action is expected to save the Company over $2 million compared to previously existing contract terms and further decreases are expected after the current contract periods expire beginning in the fourth quarter of 2002. We plan to continue to expand our direct sales force to support increased revenues and to focus on larger and longer-term customers. 20 Product Development Product development expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for developing and maintaining the Company's web sites and supporting technology. Product and development costs increased by 62% to $1.8 million, or 26% of total revenues, in the second quarter, from $1.1 million, or 27% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000 and increased by 60% to $2.8 million, or 24% of total revenues in the first half, from $1.8 million, or 26% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000. The increases were primarily a result of growth in salaries and related hosting costs due to our rapid expansion in network traffic and website development. Stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $0 and $(20,000) for the six months ended September 2001 and 2000, respectively, are excluded from product development costs and shown separately in the financial statements. Specific changes for the quarter over the same period last year include the following: increase in payroll and related costs of $350,000, increase in facilities and Internet fees of $516,000 and a decrease in consulting services of $181,000. Specific changes for the first half over the same period last year include the following: increase in payroll and related costs of $520,000, increase in facilities and Internet fees of $730,000 and a decrease in consulting services of $180,000. We anticipate that product development costs will continue to increase due to an increase in compensation expenses for design and development and increased Internet costs commensurate with our revenue and traffic increases. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for executive, finance, legal and administrative personnel, recruiting, professional fees and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative costs increased by 23% to $1.7 million, or 25% of total revenues, in the second quarter, from $1.4 million, or 34% of total revenues, for the same period in 2000 and increased by 37% to $3.2 million, or 27% of total revenues, in the first half, from $2.3 million, 34%, for the same period in 2000. The increases were due primarily to growth in the number of administrative personnel, expansion of facilities and computer systems, and an increase in legal and accounting services to support the growth of our operations and infrastructure. Specific increases for the quarter over the same period last year include the following: payroll and related costs of $238,000, consulting services of $109,000, other office, depreciation and facility expense increases of $161,000 partially offset by declines in recruiting of $96,000 and outside legal services of $95,000. Specific increases for the first half over the same period last year include the following: payroll and related costs of $436,000, consulting services of $173,000, outside legal and accounting services of $173,000, other office, depreciation and facility expense increases of $237,000 partially offset by declines in recruiting and others of $119,000. 21 We anticipate that general and administrative costs will increase commensurately with expansion plans. Stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $0 and $(165,000) for the six months ended September 2001 and 2000, respectively, are excluded from general and administrative costs and shown separately in the financial statements. We anticipate that general and administrative costs will increase slowly in absolute dollars, but will continue to decline as a percentage of total revenues as the Company realizes the benefits of operating leverage over the next several quarters. Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles $ 48 $558 (91%) Six Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles $ 48 $1,143 (96%) The Company adopted FAS141 and FAS142 effective April 1, 2001 and accordingly, there was a minimal cost of $48,000 associated with amortization of goodwill and other intangibles for the quarter ending September 30, 2001, as compared to a cost of $558,000 for the same period in 2000. In accordance with the new accounting standards the Company will evaluate the purchased goodwill and other intangible amounts for potential impairment on an at least an annual basis or upon the occurrence of a material adverse event in accordance with FAS141 and FAS142. Amortization of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets for the quarter ending September 30, 2000 reflects the stock acquisitions of CD Universe, Case's Ladder, Gamer's Alliance, Big Network, Pokemon Village, Falcon Ventures and the asset acquisitions of Funone and Dustcloud. 22 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation is comprised of the portion of acquisition related consideration conditioned on the continued tenure of key employees, which must be classified as compensation expense under generally accepted accounting principles. Additional stock-based compensation is recorded for stock price fluctuations that affect compensation expense for options that were repriced in December 1999. Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Stock-based Compensation $ 0 $100 NM Six Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Stock-based Compensation $ 0 $(87) NM There was no cost associated with stock compensation for the quarter and six months ending September 30, 2001, as compared to $100,000 and $(87,000) for the same periods in 2000 due to our stock price trading at less than the weighted average price of options outstanding for the periods. INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME, NET Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Interest income $0 $6 NM Interest and other financing expenses $(170) $(2,867) (94%) Six Months Ended September 30, --------------------------------- 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Interest income $0 $12 NM Interest and other financing expenses $(295) $(2,882) (90%) 23 Interest and financing expense decreased 94% to $170,000 in the second quarter, from $2.9 million from the same period in 2000 and decreased by 90% to $295,000 in the first half, from $2.9 million, from the same period in 2000. The prior periods included financing charges of $2.80 million related to the issuance of warrants in September 2000 in connection with short-term loans provided during the period by New Technology Holdings n/k/a 550 Digital Media Ventures (an affiliate of Sony) and VideoGame Partners. The remaining expense includes interest on notes to certain content creators and New Technology Holdings, SFX, and VideoGame Partners notes. INCOME TAXES Due to operating losses incurred since inception, we did not record a provision for income taxes in the quarters ending September 30, 2001 and 2000. As of March 31, 2001, the balance of net deferred tax assets was $15,166,000. Utilization of the Company's net operating loss carry forwards, which begin to expire in 2020, may be subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Due to uncertainties regarding reliability of the deferred tax assets, the Company has provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset in an amount necessary to reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero. NET INCOME Three Months Ended September 30, ------------------------------------ 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (in thousands) Net Income (Loss) $ 852 $(17,180) NM Six Months Ended September 30, ------------------------------------ 2001 2000 % Change ---- ---- -------- (in thousands) Net Income (Loss) $1,247 $(20,790) NM For quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company reported net income of $852,000 compared to a loss of $17.2 million for the same period in 2000 and for the six months ended September 30, 2001, the Company reported net income of $1,247,000 compared to a loss of $20.8 million for the same period in 2000 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since April 14, 1999, the Company has satisfied its cash requirements primarily through private placements of equity securities (including the $6.3 million net proceeds raised in April 1999) and short-term loans and cash flow from sales of web site banner and button advertisements, personalized email campaigns, newsletters, rich media including pop-up ads and, prior to the discontinuation of CD Universe, from the sale of music CD's and videos. Net cash provided/(used) by operating activities was $566,000 and ($4.5) million for the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 24 Net operating cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2001 consist of $1,246,000 net income; non-cash expenses including an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts of $399,000; stock and warrants granted to consultants and affiliates of $413,000; and an increase in payables and other current liabilities of $448,000. These increases in operating cash flows were partially offset by an increase in receivables and other assets of $2,039,000. Net cash used in operating activities for the prior year were due to net losses, increases in current assets, offset by increases in current liabilities and by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization. Net cash used in investing activities was $691,000 and $881,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In the six months ended September 30, 2001, $850,000 was used to purchase databases of subscribers; $420,000 for the purchase web sites and related assets; and $127,000 for the purchase of computer and other fixed. This was offset by a reduction of $705,000 in the goodwill and related intangibles of a web site resulting from a reduction in the original purchase price. Investments for 2000 included $164,000 in fixed asset purchases and $717,000 for other assets and deposits. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,636,000 and $4.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively. The $1.6 million resulted from proceeds of short term loans of $2.5 million from 550 Digital Media Ventures in advance of the closing of the transaction that took place as of October 23, 2001; and was partially offset by reduction in a long- term obligation of $793,000. Net cash provided in the prior period of $4.1 million resulted from proceeds of short-term loans from new investors. As of March 31, 2001, the Company's principal commitments include obligations for leases amounting to approximately $283,000, annually. Continued acquisitions and investments may also require future capital expenditures. As of July 13, 2001, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by which 550 Digital Media Ventures Inc., an affiliate of Sony Music Entertainment Inc., agreed to invest $5 million in the Company in exchange for issuance by the Company of shares of Series B Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred"), at a purchase price of $2.60 per share. Further information on this transaction and certain related transactions (including the Company's acquisition of Infobeat) are included in the "Recent Transactions" section of the Company's Form 10-K/A for fiscal year 2001 filed on July 30, 2001. For the year ending December 31, 2000, Infobeat generated $2.7 million in revenue and incurred a net loss of $16.8 million. The closing of the funding occurred as of October 23, 2001 (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - - Note 14: Subsequent Events located elsewhere in this document). Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, payments on a short term loan for $2,289,000 were deferred until March 2003 with certain conversion rights into equity. The $2.5 million advance from 550 Digital Media Ventures was converted to equity pursuant to the closing of the transaction as of October 23, 2001. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, 550 Digital Media Ventures invested the remaining $2.5 million in exchange for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. Following the closing of the funding, the Company expects that it will have adequate working capital for the next 12 months. The Company may, however, seek additional working capital through additional equity and/or debt financings in the upcoming year. There can be no assurance that such financing can be successfully completed on terms acceptable to the Company. 25 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK eUniverse places its cash and cash equivalents in banks with high quality standards. Cash investments consist of high quality overnight investments that bear immaterial exposure to interest rate fluctuations. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. As previously disclosed, on April 23, 2001, EP Opportunity Fund LLC and EP Opportunity Fund International, Ltd. (the "EP Funds") filed a Demand for Arbitration against Entertainment Universe, Inc. ("EUI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Brad Greenspan, Chairman and CEO of the Company, with the American Arbitration Association in Chicago, Illinois ("AAA Arbitration"). The EP Funds asserted breach of contract, fraud and related claims, alleging that the Company and Greenspan breached a fully executed Series A preferred stock subscription agreement and related agreements by (i) failing to register the common stock underlying the preferred stock held in the EP Funds' names and (ii) refusing to issue unrestricted common shares to the EP Funds pursuant to notices of conversion of preferred stock delivered to the Company. The EP Funds claim in excess of $250,000.00 in damages. The EP Funds' preferred stock has since been converted into common shares. The AAA Arbitration panel of arbitrators has been installed, but the case is still in the early stages of the proceeding. The Company does not believe that it is a proper party to the AAA Arbitration; the EP Funds named EUI as the Respondent in the AAA Arbitration, even though the EP Funds do not own any EUI stock. Moreover, the EP Funds and the Company are subject to a different dispute resolution process in connection with the EP funds investment in the Company, and the Company intends to require that the EP Funds to comply with that dispute resolution procedure. Moreover, the Company disputes the EP Funds' alleged claims, believes that they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action if and when it is brought in the proper forum. As previously disclosed, on May 1, 2001, Krausz Puente LLC, a California limited liability company, served a Fourth Amended Complaint in the case of Krausz Puente LLC v. slam.site, Inc., et al., pending in the California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles ("Krausz Litigation"), upon Case's Ladder, Inc., a California corporation and a subsidiary of the Company. Case's Ladder was previously named in this case as "Doe 1." The Krausz Litigation primarily concerns breach of a lease obligation by third-party companies ("Lessees") owned by certain former shareholders of Case's Ladder. The plaintiff has added Case's Ladder as a defendant in the Krausz Litigation because it contends that certain assets transferred into Case's Ladder at the time of its incorporation (prior to eUniverse's acquisition of Case's Ladder) were fraudulently transferred from Lessees in an effort to shield the assets from creditors, including the plaintiff. Trial in the Krausz Litigation is currently set for December 14, 2001. Case's Ladder is currently negotiating settlement of all claims against it. The Company does not believe that any settlement will have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. On July 6, 2001, Adolph Komorsky Investments, Inc. ("AKI"), an Illinois corporation with its principal place of business in Tarrytown, New York, filed a complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester. AKI alleges that the Company breached a consulting agreement with AKI by failing and refusing to pay AKI $10,000.00 in cash and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has filed an answer to AKI's complaint denying AKI's allegations and asserting defenses to the claims including the failure of AKI to perform its obligations under the consulting agreement. The Company disputes AKI's alleged claims, believes that they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. On October 19, 2001, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State, creating a new series of preferred stock designated as the "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Preferred"). The Series B Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of eUniverse common stock at any time on a one-for-one basis. Holders of the Series B Preferred will receive non-cumulative annual dividends of $0.208 per share, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, and any dividends paid on eUniverse common stock on an as-converted basis. Upon liquidation or change in control of 26 the Company, holders of the Series B Preferred will receive a liquidation preference equal to the aggregate original issue price plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and thereafter will participate with holders of eUniverse common stock on an as-converted basis. The complete terms of the Series B Preferred are contained in the certificate of designation of the Series B Preferred, filed as Exhibit 10.54 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 7, 2001. As of September 25, 2001, the Company issued warrants for 500,000 shares of eUniverse common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 to Saggi Capital Corp. in exchange for a like number of warrants at an identical purchase price that were purchased by Saggi Capital, LLC in connection with its acquisition of a promissory note from VideoGame Partners, LLC. The warrants were distributed among Saggi Capital Corp., Bridge Ventures, Inc., Marci Zaroff and Nicholas Agriogianis upon instruction from Saggi Capital Corp. As of October 23, 2001, the Company received an investment of $5 million from 550 Digital Media Ventures Inc. in exchange for 1,923,077 shares of Series B Preferred. As of October 23, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Indimi, L.L.C. in exchange for 3,058,462 shares of eUniverse common stock valued at $9.94 million. As of October 23, 2001, the Company redeemed a warrant issued to 550 Digital Media Ventures Inc. for the purchase of up to 1,101,260 shares of eUniverse common stock in exchange for 307,692 shares of eUniverse common stock valued at $1 million. The foregoing sales of securities were made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. No underwriters were engaged in connection with the foregoing sales of securities. These sales were made without general solicitation or advertising. Each purchaser was an "accredited investor" or a sophisticated investor with access to all relevant information necessary to evaluate the investment who represented to eUniverse that the shares were being acquired for investment.
