NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2002 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim financial statements of TM Century, Inc. (the "Company") at March 31, 2002, and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, are unaudited, and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. The September 30, 2001 balance sheet was derived from the balance sheet included in the Company's audited financial statements as filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2001. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements are for interim periods and do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year. 2. TREASURY STOCK On October 29, 2001 the Board of Directors, by resolution, authorized the Company to purchase up to 100,000 shares of its common stock on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, from time to time, dependent upon market conditions, from November 1, 2001 through October 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2002 the Company has made purchases of 2,000 shares at an average price of $.75 per share. These purchases were funded by cash reserves of the Company. Future purchases are expected to be funded from operations or cash reserves of the Company. 3. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION TM Century, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged primarily in the creation, production, marketing, and worldwide distribution of music libraries, production libraries, comedy services, station identification and commercials for broadcast multimedia use. TM Century's clients include radio and television stations; radio, television, satellite and Internet networks; web sites and portals; the American Forces Radio Network; advertising agencies; post production studios; cable facilities; and a wide variety of commercial businesses. Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company that reflect assumptions made by management and management's beliefs based on information currently available to it. The Company can give no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized. If any of management's assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, the Company's actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. The key factors that are not within the Company's control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, continued maturation of the domestic and international markets for compact disc technology; acceptance by the customers of the Company's existing and any new products and formats; the development by competitors of products using improved or alternative technologies and the potential obsolescence of technologies used by the Company; the continued availability of software, hardware and other products obtained by the Company from third parties; dependence on distributors, particularly in the international market; the retention of employees; the success of the Company's current and future efforts to reduce operating expenses; the effectiveness of new marketing strategies; and general economic conditions including, but not limited to, terrorist attacks on the United States and the effect on the economy in general and on the Company's revenue base in particular. Additionally, the Company may not have the ability to develop new products cost-effectively. There may be other risks and uncertainties that management is not able to predict. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions. All forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company relies upon current sales of music libraries and jingles on terms of cash upon delivery for operating liquidity. Liquidity is also provided by cash receipts from customers under contracts for production libraries and weekly music service contracts having terms of one month to three years. The Company is obligated to provide music updates throughout the contract terms for both production library and weekly music service contracts. Sales of music libraries, jingles, and the payments under production library and weekly music service contracts will provide, in the opinion of management, adequate liquidity to meet operating requirements at least through the end of fiscal 2002. TM Century's cash balance decreased from $465,000 at September 30, 2001 to $262,000 at March 31, 2002, primarily due to the timing of cash receipts from advertising network representatives, a net loss of $256,000 (offset partially by changes in operating assets and liabilities), and purchases of property and 7 equipment. During the six months ended March 31, 2002 approximately $67,000 was spent for the purchase of property and equipment, primarily associated with upgrades of network hardware and software and the addition of a recording and mixing studio. Purchases of property and equipment for the same period in 2001 totaled $116,000 and included costs related to the upgrade of production equipment and the conversion of warehouse space into offices. Expenditures for product development for the six month period were approximately $83,000 and $99,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Funds for operating needs, new product development and capital expenditures for the period were provided from cash reserves and operations of the Company. The Company used approximately $113,000 to fund operations during the six months ended March 31, 2002 primarily due to the net loss for the period (offset partially by changes in operating assets and liabilities) compared to cash flow from operations of approximately $428,000 for the same period of 2001 which produced net income of approximately $223,000. The Company's expenditures for property, equipment, and development of new products are discretionary. Product development expenditures are expected to be approximately $240,000 in fiscal 2002. Management anticipates that cash flow from operations and cash reserves will be sufficient to meet these capital requirements at least through the end of fiscal year 2002. The Company has no other significant commitments for capital expenditures in fiscal 2002. RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS Comparison of the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues decreased approximately $178,000 or 12.68% in the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period for the previous year. The events that occurred on September 11, 2001 and the subsequent effect on the advertising industry had a continuing impact on second quarter revenues for all product lines, which historically derived approximately 50% of revenue from barter agreements. Barter revenues are derived from obtaining airtime from radio stations in exchange for products and marketing such airtime to advertisers. Barter revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 was $401,000 compared to $445,000 for the same period of 2001. The revenue decrease was comprised of a decrease in revenues for music services of approximately $2,000, jingles of $3,000 and comedy services of $52,000, offset by an increase in revenues from production libraries of $13,000. Revenues of weekly HitDisc services decreased $59,000, while GoldDisc revenues fell $26,000, resulting in a net decrease in music services revenue of 15.6% as compared to the same period of the previous year. As the compact disc music library market matures, sales of compact discs are generated primarily from changes in music formats or sales of new music libraries or formats rather than from conversions to compact disc music delivery technology. The market for compact disc music libraries to broadcast customers has reached a substantial level of maturity in the United States, which is the market from which the Company derives most of its music library revenues. The Company has made changes in the product composition in an effort to appeal to markets outside the broadcast industry with some success. The Company has also engaged in the development of additional delivery media for music services as a method of increasing product sales. A decline in revenues from music library sales may result in a proportionately greater decline in operating income because music libraries provide higher margins than the Company's other products. However, management believes the introduction of new products will counteract the declines in revenues from existing music libraries. In addition, the Company contracts with third party sales representatives for sales in certain foreign markets. Changes in representatives and the terms of ongoing agreements are expected to favorably impact future revenues from international sales. Renewals and new sales growth are subject to customer acceptance of the new products. Production library revenues increased $42,000, or 12.9%. Although advertising revenue overall decreased, due to the method of apportioning revenue among product lines the increase in production library revenue is largely due to an increase in the percentage of the advertising revenue allocated to production library sales. The Company continues to concentrate on new product development in this category and has broadened the target market beyond the radio broadcast industry to include television, post-production houses, web sites and commercial businesses. Sales and new sales growth are subject to customer acceptance of the new products. Royalties derived from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) increased $32,000 due to a distribution based upon prior year broadcasts. 8 Jingles revenue decreased $70,000, or 21.3% over the same period in 2001, primarily due to a $74,000 decrease in custom jingle production domestically. A new jingle product line marketed as Studio Dragonfly, a web site based product specifically designed to sell older jingle packages at reduced rates, generated $21,000 in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Comedy network revenue decreased $55,000, or 27.4% compared to the same period in 2001. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in advertising revenue. Historically, comedy service contracts comprised over 40% of the barter business for the Company, however, an increase in the number of barter agreements for other products in 2002 reduced the percentage of advertising revenue allocable to comedy. Commissions decreased $35,000 or 14.4% and reflect a combination of decreased barter revenue and commissions paid to third party representatives for international sales. As a percentage of revenues, commissions decreased from 17.0% to 16.7% due to an increase in direct international sales. Production, programming and technical costs decreased $60,000 or 13.2%, and as a percentage of revenue decreased from 32.1% to 31.9%. The decrease in costs is due to a combination of cost reduction efforts and the reduction of costs related to custom jingle production. General and administrative costs increased $53,000, or 11.1% primarily due to professional fees incurred developing a patent application for the SOLD-RITE(TM) (Secure On Line Delivery of Recordings, Information, Text, and Entertainment) System, a method of delivering content to consumers via the Internet. Ownership of the patent, if granted, will belong to Sold-Rite Holdings LLC, a separate entity of which the Company will own 42.5%. Selling costs decreased $17,000, or 6.8%, and as a percentage of revenues increased from 17.5% to 18.6%. The decrease in expenses was created by a decrease in the commission expense reflective of the decreased revenues. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased $1,600 or 4.6% due to the addition of property and equipment in prior months. Comparison of the Six Month Periods Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues decreased approximately $664,000 or 21.1% in the six month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period for the previous year. The events that occurred on September 11, 2001 and the subsequent effect on the advertising industry had a significant impact on first quarter revenues for all product lines, which historically derived approximately 50% of revenue from barter agreements. The reduction in advertising revenue continued into the second quarter, although there were signs of a slow recovery. Barter revenues are derived from obtaining airtime from radio stations in exchange for such weekly services and marketing such airtime to advertisers. Barter revenue for the six-month period ended March 31, 2002 was $830,000 compared to $1,306,000 for the same period of 2001. The revenue decrease was comprised of a decrease in revenues for music services of $46,000, production libraries of $210,000, jingle revenues of $10,000, and comedy services of $210,000. Revenues of weekly HitDisc services decreased $126,000, while GoldDisc revenues decreased $43,000, resulting in a decrease in music services revenue of 15.1% as compared to the same period of the previous year. As the compact disc music library market matures, sales of compact discs are generated primarily from changes in music formats or sales of new music libraries or formats rather than from conversions to compact disc music delivery technology. The market for compact disc music libraries to broadcast customers has reached a substantial level of maturity in the United States, which is the market from which the Company derives most of its music library revenues. The Company has made changes in the product composition in an effort to appeal to markets outside the broadcast industry with some success. The Company has also engaged in the development of additional delivery media for music services as a method of increasing product sales. A decline in revenues from music library sales may 9 result in a proportionately greater decline in operating income because music libraries provide higher margins than the Company's other products. However, management believes the introduction of new products will counteract the declines in revenues from existing music libraries. In addition, the Company contracts with third party sales representatives for sales in certain foreign markets. Changes in representatives and the terms of ongoing agreements are expected to favorably impact future revenues from international sales. Renewals and new sales growth are subject to customer acceptance of the new products. Production library revenues decreased $205,000, or 22.8%. The decrease in production library revenue is primarily due to the decrease in advertising revenue. Even though production library revenues may decline due to the expiration of three-year contracts, management believes that production libraries will continue to generate a significant portion of overall revenues from sales of existing products through advertising/barter arrangements and sales of new products. The Company continues to concentrate on new product development in this category and has broadened the target market beyond the radio broadcast industry to include television, post-production houses, web sites and commercial businesses. Sales and new sales growth are subject to customer acceptance of the new products. Jingles revenue decreased $67,000 or 11.8% over the same period in 2001. Domestic jingles revenue reflected a decrease in syndicated jingle sales of approximately $68,000, offset by an increase in custom jingles of $13,000, while international jingle production showed a $3,600 decline when compared to the same period in the prior year. A new jingle product line marketed as Studio Dragonfly, a web site based product specifically designed to sell older jingle packages at reduced rates, has generated $21,000 in revenue since its introduction on January 2, 2002. Comedy revenue decreased $215,000, or 39.1%. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in advertising revenue. Historically, comedy service contracts comprised over 40% of the barter business for the Company, however, an increase in the number of barter agreements for other products in 2002 reduced the percentage of advertising revenue allocable to comedy. Commissions decreased $201,000 or 32.3%, and reflect a $29,000 decrease in commissions paid to third party international representatives created by the decrease in international revenue. The commissions paid to advertising representatives decreased proportionately with the decrease in advertising revenue. Production, programming and technical costs decreased $29,000. The greatest variance in costs is reflected in the reduction of revenue-based royalties paid to writers for jingles and imaging libraries that were affected by the decreased advertising revenue. General and administrative costs increased $66,000 or 7.1%. A $10,000 reduction in sublease proceeds resulted in an increase in facilities expenses. Professional fees in the amount of $56,000 were incurred developing a patent application for the SOLD-RITE(TM) (Secure On Line Delivery of Recordings, Information, Text, and Entertainment) System, a method of delivering content to consumers via the Internet. Ownership of the patent, if granted, will belong to Sold-Rite Holdings LLC, a separate entity of which the Company will own 42.5%. Selling costs decreased $23,000 or 4.8%, and as a percentage of revenues increased from 15.3% to 18.4%. The decrease in selling expenses reflects a decrease in sales commissions indicative of the overall decrease in revenues. Depreciation of property and equipment increased $3,000 or 4.7% due to the addition of property and equipment. 10 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal proceedings - Not applicable. Item 2.
