ADVANCED MEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim financial statements of Advanced Media, Inc. (the
"Company") for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 have been
prepared by management and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the unaudited interim
periods. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
3 - LIQUIDITY AND BUSINESS RISKS
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,366,230 for nine months ended September
30, 1998 and cumulative net losses of $12,360,520 since commencing operations in
August 1993. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficit
of $1,366,230 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,138,825 at December
31, 1997. In order to meet its obligations as they become due and to continue
its operations as a going concern, the Company must raise additional capital.
The Company continues to be engaged in various discussions with potential
investors regarding possible equity transactions. Additional funding of
$735,698(before commissions of approximately 15 %) was raised during the first
nine months of 1998. Although management believes, based on the development of
the Company's business and its preliminary discussions with various potential
investors and other sources of financing, that it may be able to raise
additional capital sufficient to meet its working capital needs over the next
twelve months, no assurance can be given that it will be successful in this
respect. The Company currently has no line of credit or other access to debt
financing.
4 - DEBT AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
In March 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement pursuant to which two
individuals (the "Lenders") loaned the Company $500,000. The loan bore interest
at a rate of ten percent per annum and was secured by certain of the Company's
assets. This loan was repaid in July 1995 utilizing the proceeds from the
promissory notes referred to below. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement,
the Company issued 30,000 shares of its common stock and 30,000 options to
purchase common stock to the Lenders. The options are exercisable for a five
year period at an exercise price of $4.10 per share (these options, along with
all of the Company's other option grants, were re-valued to $.80 on March 26,
1997). As a result of these issuance's, the Company recorded deferred financing
costs of $270,750 which were amortized through July 1995.
In June and July 1995, the Company issued promissory notes to Suan Investments
Corp. ("Suan") for $1,000,000. The notes bore interest at twelve percent per
annum and both principal and accrued interest were due the earlier of (a) June
30, 1996 or (b) upon the receipt by the Company of net proceeds in excess of $2
million from a financing transaction, to the extent of such excess. Subject to
the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, the purchasers had the option at
any time upon or after the earlier of (a) the maturity of the notes or (b) the
Company's common stock becoming authorized for trading on NASDAQ, to convert the
outstanding principal amount of the notes into shares of the Company's common
stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $2.00 or (ii)
an amount equal to the ten day average bid price for the Company's common stock,
subject to certain antidilution provisions. The Company also granted to the
purchaser a security interest in all of the Company's assets. The Company issued
50,000 shares of restricted common stock, valued at $100,000, as a commission
for the aforementioned agreement. The Company recorded the commission as a
discount to the note, which was fully amortized in 1996.

ADVANCED MEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DEBT AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
In March 1996, the Company reached an agreement with Suan and an assignee
thereof to convert their $1,000,000 principal amount of notes into 600,000
shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.667 per share.
The agreement provides the stockholders a guaranteed value of $3.30 per share,
twice the conversion price, on certain valuation dates, as defined. Pursuant to
the provisions of the note conversion agreement, and based upon the difference
between the guaranteed price of $3.30 per share and the closing price of $.28
per share at December 31, 1997, the Company would be required to issue
approximately 6,500,000 additional shares of common stock. Fulfillment of the
fair value guarantee, if by issuance of additional common stock, would result in
substantial dilution of the Company's common stock if the price of the Company's
common stock has not increased appreciably from the fair value of $.28 at
December 31, 1997. As discussed below, the Company issued warrants as an
advanced payment against this valuation guarantee. To secure the Company's value
guaranty obligation, the Company has left in place the security agreements
relating to the original Note Purchase Agreements, pursuant to which
substantially all of the Company's assets serve as collateral for these
obligations.
Originally, Suan had agreed to convert their note into 500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock (at a conversion price of $2.00 per share). As an
inducement to convert at the March 31, 1996 date, the Company agreed to the new
conversion price of $1.667 per share and to issue an additional 10,000 shares as
a further inducement. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 84, "Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt," the Company
recorded the additional 110,000 shares issued at their fair market value at the
date of conversion as debt conversion expense of $309,375.
In March 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to issue warrants
to purchase an aggregate 500,000 shares of common stock to Suan Investments and
its assignee, to be divided equally. The warrants become exercisable on
September 30, 1997 at an exercise price of $.65, and expire on December 31,
1998. In consideration of the issuance of warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of
common stock the aforementioned parties agreed to extend to June 30, 1997 the
interest payment due originally at the time of the conversion of the Suan
Investment note to equity. Further, upon payment of the interest, the security
interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company which collateralizes
the Company's obligations will be terminated. The value of the warrants to
purchase the balance of 250,000 shares of common stock will be applied against
the Company's obligation to provide the valuation guarantee for the 600,000
shares discussed above.
The Company made a $25,000 payment in July 1997 towards the interest due on June
30, 1997. At December 31, 1997, there remains $84,334 of interest payable to
Suan related to previously outstanding principal. The Company is presently in
default of this agreement and is discussing various options to remedy the
default. The interest payable is included in accrued expenses and other
liabilities.
During July 1995 and November 1995, the Company issued 725,000 shares of
restricted common stock in a private placement transaction (the private
placement) in exchange for $1,450,000 or $2.00 per share. Actual proceeds from
the issuance of these shares totaled $1,220,000 net of a finder's commission of
$230,000. The private placement provided that in the event the value of shares
issued to investors is not equal to at least 200% of the purchase price ten days
prior to the registration of the common stock under the Securities Act of 1933,
the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to these stockholders
so that the aggregate value of such stockholder's common stock shall equal 200%
of the purchase price paid. Pursuant to the provisions of the private placement
agreement, and based upon the difference between the private placement price of
$2.00 per share and closing price per share of $.28 per share at December 31,
1997, the Company would be required to issue an additional 9,632,000 shares of
common stock. Fulfillment of the fair value guarantee, if by issuance of
additional common stock, would result in substantial dilution of the Company's
common stock if the price of the Company's common stock has not increased
appreciably from the fair value of $.28 at December 31, 1997. The Company has
agreed to register the purchased shares of common stock within ninety (90) days
after the common stock is authorized for trading on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) Small Cap Market. The private
placement provided that if, on January 1, 1996, a registration statement
covering the purchased shares of common stock was not effective, which it was
not, the Company would be required to make distributions to these stockholders
of $36,250

(2.5% of the private placement proceeds) or 18,125 shares per month, until such
registration statement is declared effective. The Company has set aside 380,625
shares of common stock to satisfy this agreement through December 31, 1997. The
Company and these stockholders tentatively agreed in October 1997 to stop the
issuance of these monthly penalty shares due to their antidilutive effect on the
Company. The Company and these stockholders are currently negotiating an
agreement to settle the entire obligation in exchange for Company preferred
stock. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
these negotiations. These stockholders also have piggyback registration rights
and one demand registration right.
In satisfaction of the $230,000 commission discussed above, the Company agreed
to issue 65,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the then current fair
market value of $2.00 per share, and to pay $100,000 in cash. Through December
31, 1995, the Company issued 15,000 shares to the finder, with the remaining
50,000 shares issued in 1996. The Company had recorded a liability of $100,000
to the finder at December 31, 1995. In August 1996, the Company issued 100,000
shares of common stock and 25,000 warrants in satisfaction of the $100,000
liability. The warrants were exercisable through December 31, 1997 at $1.00 per
share of common stock. The transaction resulted in a $36,826 loss on conversion
below applicable market prices.
In August 1996, the Company received $600,000 for 600,000 shares of its Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class A Preferred"). In the fourth quarter of
1996, 480,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock converted to 737,248 shares of
common stock and in January 1997, the remaining 120,000 shares converted to
317,126 shares of common stock. The Class A Preferred were convertible to common
stock of the Company after a designated holding period beginning 60 days and
ending 150 days after issuance. The Class A Preferred converted at 55% of the
average closing bid price of the common stock on the five trading days
immediately prior to the conversion date. In connection with the aforementioned
funding, the broker for this transaction is entitled to a commission in the form
of warrants for the purchase of common stock equivalent to 100% of the common
stock issuable upon conversion of $150,000 of the Class A Preferred.
These warrants expired December 31, 1997.
In August 1996, the Company granted 10,000 options at $1.30 to its corporate
counsel for legal services pursuant to its 1995 Long Term Incentive Plan (these
options, along with all of the Company's option grants were revalued to $.80 on
March 26, 1997). The options expire in July 2001.
In 1996, the Company issued 186,857 shares of common stock in various private
placements for net proceeds of $218,544. In 1997, the Company issued 4,264,110
shares of common stock in various private placements for net proceeds of
$621,298.
The Company issued a total of 600,000 shares of common stock in exchange for an
aggregate $280,000 in the first quarter of 1997. As a condition of two of these
placements, the Company agreed to register 200,000 shares by April 30, 1997.
Failure to register the 200,000 shares cause the Company to pay a penalty of
5,000 shares to each of the parties, i.e., 10,000 total, on April 30, 1997 and
for each thirty-day period thereafter for which a registration statement is not
filed. Through December 31, 1997, 90,000 shares have been reserved as penalty
shares under this agreement. Such penalty shares are required to be registered
as contingency shares in the registration statement. Furthermore, as
consideration for the investors not disposing of the 200,000 shares between
April 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997, which condition has been met, the agreement
provided for additional contingency shares to be registered if the Company did
not meet a value guaranty provision ensuring that the 200,000 shares would be
equivalent in value to $175,000 after the registration became effective. In
1998, the Company reached a settlement agreement with each of these
stockholders. One stockholder was issued an additional 664,192 shares as
complete settlement of the original placement penalty and value guarantee
provisions. The second stockholder was issued an additional 400,000 shares as
settlement of the original placement penalty provision and the value guarantee
provision was revised to $.30 for the 500,000 shares issued to such stockholder.

additional 50,000 shares, were also issued to these stockholders.

DEBT AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
July 15, 1997 or be subject to a cumulative penalty of 10% of the amount of
shares subscribed. The penalty would continue for each thirty-day period for
which the registration was not effective. The shares have not been registered to
date. The Company also agreed that if the value of these shares was not $1.10 on
the effective date of the registration statement, it would issue additional
shares of equivalent value to such subscribers. No penalty shares were issued
during 1997, since the Company was renegotiating the aforementioned penalty and
value guarantee provisions, and in June 1998, an agreement was reached. The
subscribers were issued an additional 810,760 shares as settlement of the
original penalty provision and the value guarantee provision was revised to $.30
for the 1,013,450 shares issued to the subscribers.
In June 1997, the Company entered into a Private Equity Line of Credit Agreement
("PELOC") for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,000,000 through June 30,
1998. Under this agreement, the Company issued 699,301 shares of its common
stock for $250,000 before commissions and legal fees of $45,900 and 22,727
shares of common stock, respectively. All shares issued pursuant to the PELOC
were to be registered and declared effective by September 30, 1997. In the event
that the Company failed to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of a
registration statement on or before September 30, 1997, the Company was to pay
$5,000 in cash, and then $7,500 for each thirty-day period commencing November
1, 1997. The Company also committed to draw down a minimum total of $500,000
under this PELOC. In December 1997, the Company issued an additional 300,000
shares as a result of the Company's failure to secure an effective registration
statement, and the parties agreed to release each other from any and all further
obligations under the PELOC.
In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company issued 528,000 shares for $52,800
(less commissions of approximately $8,000). The placement agreements provided
for a value guarantee provision of $.30 per share, based upon the fair value of
the common stock upon the effective date of a filed registration statement.
5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Expenses for the nine and six months ended September 30, 1998 include certain
amounts payable to the Company's chief executive officer, $135,000 and $90,000,
respectively, representing compensation payable, and $171,928 and $93,528,
respectively, representing interest on the loan from officer.
6 - INCOME TAXES
At September 30, 1998 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax
purposes of approximately $7,200,000, which expire through 2012. Deferred tax
assets are comprised of the following:
SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31,
1998 1997
Gross deferred tax assets $2,484,550 $ 2,968,000
Valuation allowance (2,484,550) (2,968,000)
----------- -----------
Net deferred tax asset $ - $ -
=========== ===========
The gross deferred tax assets arise primarily from net operating loss
carryforwards and differences in the valuation of receivables, accruals and
deferred compensation. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance
against the gross deferred tax assets because, in management's judgement, it is
more likely than not that such benefits will not be realized.
The Company had a several changes in ownership since commencing operations in
1993, which has resulted in a restriction on the prospective annual utilization
of the loss carryforwards. Future changes in ownership may also result in
further limitations on the annual utilization of the loss carryforwards.

Legal Proceedings
On September 29, 1995, a former employee and owner of a business acquired by the
Company, Decision Vision ("Decision"), and his wife, also a former employee of
Decision, initiated a lawsuit seeking damages of approximately $1,000,000 from
the Company, and certain present and former officers. The lawsuit was based on
claims arising out of the employees' termination, and also arising out of the
sale of the assets of Decision to the Company. The most significant aspect of
the lawsuit, pertaining to the acquisition of the assets of Decision by the
Company, was dismissed by the court in which the action had been filed, the
Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, in a series of
rulings between December 1996 and February 1997, when the court dismissed
numerous causes of action and the action against all individual defendants and
eliminated any possible punitive damages award. The court also dismissed
wrongful termination claims of both former employees. On March 25, 1997, the
plaintiffs filed an appeal regarding the above claims. On August 14, 1997, a
settlement was reached which required the company to make a one time cash
payment of $8,000 on or before October 1, 1997, and then make twelve monthly
payments of $5,000 commencing November 1997, for a total cash settlement of
$68,000. For each cash payment made to the plaintiff, the plaintiff is to return
to the Company, shares of the Company's common stock held by the plaintiff. A
total of 91,429 shares are to be returned to the Company in proportion to the
cash payments received by the plaintiff. The Company recorded litigation expense
of $43,000 in 1997 as a result of this settlement and will record repurchase of
common stock (at its $.27 fair value per share at the time of settlement) as
cash payments are made. Any breach of the stipulation settlement will cause all
appeals previously made to be reactivated and the Company would receive credit
for any cash payments made. The Company has made timely payments through
September 1998 .
On April 21, 1998, a complaint entitled "Imperial Bank Realty Company, Inc. v.
Advanced Media, Interactive, et al." was filed by the landlord of the Company's
California office, in the Orange County, California Superior Court. The Company
had not paid all rent due under the lease agreement and the landlord sought
eviction of the Company. On July 6, 1998, a judgment against the Company was
awarded to the landlord. The judgment amounted to approximately $42,000
including attorney's fees and past rent due for the months of December 1997
through May 1998. The judgment also stipulates that the Company must pay their
July and August rents timely, and the rent for June is to be paid in two
installments, half on or before July 15, 1998 and half on or before August 17,
1998. Further, the Company vacated the premises on September 1998.
On May 11, 1998, a complaint entitled "Autodesk Inc. v. Advanced Media
Interactive, et al." was filed in the Marin County, California Superior Court
against the Company for breach of contract and also for nonpayment for various
products and software licenses. The complaint seeks damages of approximately
$115,000 plus interest, attorney fees and costs. Management intends to contest
this complaint vigorously and an answer was filed on August 12, 1998, which
asserts multiple defenses and the Company is also seeking to pursue a cross
complaint. The case is still in the in the preliminary pleading stages and the
Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this claim. Accordingly, no
adjustments have been made in the financial statements for any potential losses.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
Although revenue for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998
decreased $2,397,657 and $1,033,145, or 82.6% and 94.4%, the gross profit
percentage stood almost steady at 41.4% versus 33.3 on comparable net revenues
due to the company's sales emphasis towards more profitable interactive system
solution projects and the mall strategy.
Expenses for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 declined
$441,313 and increased $264,669, or 24.2% and 64.7%, respectively. General and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
$133,929 or 10.8% and increased $306,535, or 124.4% for the three months ended
September 30, 1998.
Other income (expense) reflects higher interest charges during the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 versus the same period in 1997 related to interest on
advances to the chief executive officer at an increased interest rate of 14%
retroactive to January 1, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,366,230 for nine months ended September
30, 1998 and cumulative net losses of $12,360,520 since commencing operations in
August 1993. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficit
of $1,366,230 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,138,825 at December
31, 1997. In order to meet its obligations as they become due and to continue
its operations as a going concern, the Company must raise additional capital.
The Company continues to be engaged in various discussions with potential
investors regarding possible equity transactions. Additional funding of
$735,698(before commissions of approximately 15 %) was raised during the first
nine months of 1998. Although management believes, based on the development of
the Company's business and its preliminary discussions with various potential
investors and other sources of financing, that it may be able to raise
additional capital sufficient to meet its working capital needs over the next
twelve months, no assurance can be given that it will be successful in this
respect. The Company currently has no line of credit or other access to debt
financing.

The Company currently has no line of credit or other access to debt financing.
The Company's stock price has steadily declined since January 1996, which has
made it difficult for the Company to raise additional equity capital without
significant dilution to present shareholders. The Company is further hampered by
its inability to obtain bank financing and the fact that all of its assets are
pledged as collateral to Suan Investments and its assignee, Stourbridge
Investments.
Forward-Looking Statements. All statements other than statements of historical
fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. When used in this
report, words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," and similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company's management, identify
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors
including, but not limited to, financing, operational spending, revenue levels,
the effect of business and economic conditions and the impact of competitive
products and pricing. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company
with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks,
uncertainties and assumptions relating to the operations, results of operations,
growth strategy and liquidity of the Company.
