ASI ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
3,516,825 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Holders thereof
2,327,161 Options and 2,327,161 shares of Common Stock
underlying such Options
The Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part relates to the offer and sale of
certain securities of ASI Entertainment, Inc., a
recently created Delaware Corporation (the "Company")
by the 36 holders thereof (the "Selling
Securityholders") including (i) 3,516,825 shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value
$.0001 per share (the "Common Stock")(ii) 2,327,161
transferable Options (the "Options") and (iii)
2,327,161 shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Options (the "Option Shares"). The
Shares, Options and Option Shares are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Securities". All
costs incurred in the registration of the Securities
are being borne by the Company.
The Company, a development stage Delaware
corporation, was formed on April 29, 1998. The
Company acquired all the outstanding stock of ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd., an existing Australian
corporation, in exchange for shares of Common Stock of
the Company. The Company has three wholly owned
subsidiaries, ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. (Australia),
ASI Media Pty. Ltd. (an Australian subsidiary of ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd.) and ASI Technologies, Inc., a
newly created Delaware company. See "THE COMPANY."
(Unless otherwise indicated, ASI Entertainment,
Inc.and its subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Company.")
The Company offers to commercial airlines an
integrated data communication and in-flight digital
video entertainment system (the "ASI-9000 Program")
which provides system integration, airline
efficiencies, crew and passenger communications,
passenger information and entertainment, and value
added services tailored to its respective airline
customers' requests. The Company anticipates
receiving revenue from the sale of the advertising
space available in the video and audio programs as
well as other advertising areas. Since July, 1997,
the Company has installed the ASI-9000 Program on nine
aircraft operated by Air Europa, a Spanish airline,
but has yet to receive significant revenues from
advertisers or sponsors. See "BUSINESS".
The Company has limited operations, revenue
and capital. Prior to the Company's offering of the
Securities described herein, there has been no public
market for the Common Stock or Options of the Company
and there are no assurances that a public market will
develop following completion of this Offering or that,
if any such market does develop, it will be sustained.
The Options may be transferred immediately
upon the date that the registration statement of which
this Prospectus is a part (the "Registration
Statement") becomes or is declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Effective
Date"). Each Option allows the holder thereof to
purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $0.50 until June 30, 2000.
The Securities will become tradeable on the
Effective Date of this Prospectus. Sales of the
Securities being offered by Selling Securityholders,
or even the potential of such sales, may likely have
an adverse effect on the market prices of the
securities of the Company. The Selling
Securityholders will receive the proceeds from the
sale of the Securities being offered by them. The
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from such
sales. The Selling Securityholders, directly or
through agents, dealers or representatives to be
designated from time to time, may sell their
Securities on terms to be determined at the time of
sale. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION." The Selling
Securityholders reserve the sole right to accept or
reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of
the Securities being offered by them.
THESE SECURITIES INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to and should be read in
conjunction with more detailed information and
financial data (including the financial statements and
the notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Each prospective investor is urged to
read this Prospectus in its entirety, including the
financial data. All dollar figures are reported in
U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated as Australian
dollars. As of August 8, 1998 the exchange rate for
US$1.00 was A$1.65.
1. THE COMPANY. ASI Entertainment, Inc. (the
"Company"), is a development stage Delaware
corporation. In July, 1998, the Company acquired all
the outstanding shares of common stock of ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd., an existing Australian
corporation specializing in in-flight entertainment in
an exchange for shares of the Company's Common Stock.
As a result of the stock exchange, ASI Entertainment
Pty. Ltd. and its Australian subsidiary, ASI Media
Pty. Ltd., became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company. ASI Technologies, Inc., a newly created
Delaware corporation, is also a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. Unless otherwise
indicated, the Company and its subsidiaries are
collectively referred herein to as the "Company". ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd. was a wholly owned subsidiary
of ASI Technologies Pty. Ltd. ("ASIT Australia"), an
Australian corporation, until 1996 when it became an
independent corporation through a corporate
restructuring. Certain of the officers, directors and
Selling Securityholders of the Company are
shareholders of ASIT Australia and Messrs. Chapman and
Chappell, directors of the Company, are the directors
of ASIT Australia. See "MANAGEMENT". The United
States offices of the Company are located at 15200
East Girard Avenue, Suite 3000 Aurora, Colorado 80014.
The Australian offices are located at Suite 3, 1601
Main Road, Research, Victoria, 3095 Australia.
2. BUSINESS OPERATIONS. The Company began
operations in July, 1997 and has limited sales and
revenues to date. See "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS" and
"BUSINESS". The Company has acquired from ASIT
Australia the ASI-9000 Program. The ASI-9000 Program
consists of and integrates (i) the ACAMS II, a cabin
management and communication hardware system, (ii) a
computer video system and (iii) a marketing program
for destination and corporate advertising on-board
commercial aircraft. The ACAMS system was developed
and is owned by ASIT Australia and flight tested on
Qantas Airways. The ACAMS II system is currently
undergoing a certification process to achieve approval
of the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") for use
on commercial aircraft. Once certified, the Company
intends to purchase the ACAMS II terminals from ASIT
Australia. The Company enters into agreements with
commercial airlines for the installation and
maintenance of the ASI-9000 Program. The ASI-9000
Program is designed to generate revenues from the sale
of advertising space on the in-flight video and audio
programs as well as other possible forms of
advertising from destination sponsors and
corporations. The Company subcontracts the
production, installation, and maintenance of the
ASI-9000 Program. Until final certification of the
ACAMS II, the Company is using the CMA-3200 computer
platform for installation of the ASI-9000 Program.
The Company has entered into an agreement with and has
installed the ASI-9000 Program on nine aircraft owned
by Air Europa, a Spanish airline.
3. THE OFFERING. The Company is not offering
any shares for sale. The Securities offered by the
Selling Securityholders included in the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part consist
of (i) 3,516,825 Shares (ii) 2,327,161 transferable
Options, and (iii) 2,327,161 shares of Option Stock.
The Shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling
Securityholders hereby, without giving effect to the
exercise of any Options, constitute 61% of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
4. THE MARKET. The Company will market its
products to small and mid-sized United States domestic
and foreign airlines with approximately 10 to 200
aircraft, that operate with tight budgetary
constraints, and that compete with the major airlines.
The Company intends to sell its products utilizing
foreign media agents. The Company believes that Air
Europa and other airlines will choose to install the
Company's program because it allows the airline to
provide passengers value-added services at little cost
to the airline. The Company believes that its current
and future advertisers and sponsors will choose to
advertise on the Company's program because of the
relatively inexpensive cost of reaching a highly
targeted audience. In-flight advertisements will
promote a client advertiser's goods and services prior
to arrival in a destination city. Passengers will be
able to purchase products or make bookings directly
with participating advertisers. The Company believes
this advertising will be especially attractive to
companies offering goods or services in the
destination city. The Company believes that the
results from the testing of the system on Hawaiian
Airlines show that there is a market for destination
advertisers. See "BUSINESS".
5. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company will not
receive any proceeds from the sale of the Securities
offered herein.
6. OFFERED BY. The Selling Securityholders
are offering the Securities through their own efforts
and, possibly, through one or more broker-dealers. If
used, broker-dealers may receive a selling commission
of the proceeds from the sale of the securities. No
selling commission will be paid to any officer of
director of the Company.
7. TRANSFER AGENT. The Company intends to
secure the services of Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company to act as transfer agent for the
Securities. See "DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES--Transfer
Agent and Registrar."
8. TRADING MARKET. The Company intends to
initially apply for admission to quotation of its
securities on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. The
Company intends to apply for listing on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market when, and if, it qualifies for such
admission. There can be no assurance that the
Company's securities will be listed on any such
exchange or that the Company will meet the admission
requirements of the NASD OTC Bulletin Board or the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market. See "RISK FACTORS -- No
Current Trading Market for the Company's Securities"
and "DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES - Admission to
Quotation to Nasdaq SmallCap Market and NASD OTC
Bulletin Board".

RISK FACTORS
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE IN
NATURE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THEREFORE,
EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD, PRIOR TO PURCHASE,
CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AS
WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH
ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING ALL
NOTES THERETO.
GOING CONCERN QUESTION; OPERATING LOSSES AND
ACCUMULATED DEFICIT; UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY
The Company has suffered losses from
operations and has reduced working capital and
stockholders' equity that raise doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company
had unaudited losses of $(252,294) for the
period July 1, 1998 through March 31, 1999 and an
accumulated deficit of approximately $722,000 at March
31, 1999, and may be required to make significant additional
expenditures in connection with the development of the
ASI-9000 and its marketing. The Company's ability to
continue its operations is dependent upon its
receiving funds through its anticipated sources of
financing including exercise of the Options, revenues
from operations, and proceeds available from its
suppliers. The Company may be required to raise
additional capital through debt or equity financing.
There are no assurances that the Company will receive
any revenues from operations or other proceeds nor
that it will be able to raise such capital through
debt or equity financing. If the Company is not able
to raise such financing or to obtain alternative
sources of funding, management will be required to
curtail operations and there is no assurance that the
Company will be able to continue to operate. See
"FINANCIAL STATEMENTS".
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
as a result of certain factors, including those set
forth in the following risk factors and elsewhere in
this Prospectus.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
The Company did not initiate operations until
July, 1997. To date, the Company has secured an
agreement with Air Europa for the installation of the
ASI-9000 Program on a limited number of their
aircraft. The Company has not received any
significant revenues and may experience many of the
problems, delays, expenses and difficulties commonly
encountered by early stage companies many of which are
beyond the Company's control. These include, but are
not limited to, unanticipated problems related to
product development, regulatory compliance,
manufacturing, marketing, additional costs and
competition and technological obsolescence, as well as
problems associated with sales or operations in
foreign countries. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to market the ASI-9000 Program to
additional airlines or that once installed that the
ASI-9000 Program will function as intended, meet with
customer acceptance or generate any revenue, or that
the Company will ultimately achieve profitability.
The Company has incurred significant development and
marketing operating losses to date and there can be no
assurance of future revenues or profits.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS
The Company acquired the ASI-9000 Program from
ASIT Australia including the intellectual property
associated therewith. Such intellectual property
includes the ASI-9000 Program consisting of the
integration of the ACAMS II, a computer video system,
and the use of destination and corporate advertising
on board commercial aircraft, as well as the earlier
testing and certification procedures undertaken during
the development of the ASI-9000 Program and the ACAMS
II. While the Company and ASIT Australia (owner of
the ACAMS II hardware) seeks to protect its
intellectual property rights by non-disclosure
agreements, it does not have any registered trade
names, trademarks, patents or copyrights. The lack of
registered trademarks, patents or copyrights may
increase the difficulty of enforcing rights should any
other company use the Company's or ASIT Australia's
technology or claim prior use of such technology.
There is no assurance that any of the
Company's rights will be enforceable in protecting the
trade name and technology it owns or licenses, even if
ASIT Australia registers a patent or trademark,
against any prior users of a similar name or
technology or those seeking to utilize a similar name
in areas where the Company operates or to use similar
technology. The failure to enforce any of the
Company's rights could have the effect of reducing the
Company's ability to capitalize on the goodwill
associated with the trade name "ASI-9000" or its
proprietary technology. It is also possible that the
Company will encounter claims from prior users of a
similar name in areas where the Company operates.
SUCCESS OF PLAN OF OPERATION DEPENDENT ON REVENUES
GENERATED FROM ADVERTISERS
The Company's proposed plan of operation and
prospects will be largely dependent upon the Company's
ability to successfully attract advertisers. The
Company has limited experience and there is limited
information available concerning the potential
performance or market acceptance of the Company's
product. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to successfully implement its business
plan or that unanticipated expenses, problems, or
difficulties will not occur which would result in
material delays in its implementation. Because the
Company is relying on generating almost all of its
revenues from advertising rather than collecting
revenues upon installation, the start up costs of
installing the Company's systems and risks related to
securing advertisers and sponsors will be borne by the
Company alone. There are no assurances that the
Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues
from advertisers to become profitable.
UNPROVEN COMMERCIAL VIABILITY OF THE ASI-9000 PROGRAM
The Company has installed the ASI-9000 Program
on nine aircraft owned by Air Europa and is in the
process of negotiating with other airlines.
Notwithstanding the Company's current contract with
Air Europa, there can be no assurance that the
Company's product will be widely accepted by airlines
or airline passengers or that such acceptance will be
sustained for any significant period. The acceptance
of the Company's products is dependent on a number of
factors, including the technological quality and
features of its products compared to competitive
products, the actual and perceived ability of the
Company to timely and effectively service its
products, consumer demand and the purchasing patterns
of airlines. Many of these factors are beyond the
Company's control. As a result of these factors as
well as unanticipated problems which the Company may
experience, the Company is unable to predict when, if
ever, its products will be commercially viable.
COSTS OF INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ASI-9000
PROGRAM
As part of its marketing and sales strategy,
the Company furnishes the ASI-9000 to the airlines at
little cost to the airline. The Company anticipates
receiving revenues from the sale of advertising. This
strategy results in "up-front" costs to the Company,
such as the costs relating to the purchase and
installation of the equipment, training of airline
personnel in the use of the equipment and maintenance
of the equipment, possibly prior to the receipt by the
Company of any revenues generated from that equipment.
See "PLAN OF OPERATION". The Company must have
funds available to it to acquire and produce the
ASI-9000 prior to receipt of revenues therefrom. If
the Company does not have the funds available, it will
not be able to acquire or produce or install the
ASI-9000 and it would not be able to sell advertising
space. There is no assurance that the Company will
have such funds available or will be able to borrow
such funds on terms acceptable to it.
RECENT ADVERSE PUBLICITY REGARDING IN-FLIGHT
ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS
On September 2, 1998, a Swissair aircraft
crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast Canada.
The cause of this crash has not been determined but
early reports have speculated that overheated wiring
systems may have caused the aircraft to become
uncontrollable. Such reports have also indicated that
the onboard video and gaming systems may have directly
or indirectly partially caused the wires to overheat.
No definitive conclusions have been announced, but the
Federal Aviation Administration has been reported to
be reviewing in-flight entertainment systems.
Swissair has announced that it is disconnecting all
its in-flight entertainment and gaming systems until
further investigation is concluded. The systems
installed by the Company differ from those installed
on the Swissair aircraft, as the Swissair system
involved installing new interactive video screens in
every seat, requiring extensive wiring and
modifications to the aircraft. While the ASI system
can connect to this type of in-seat video systems, the
ASI-9000 Program is primarily targeted at airlines
which utilize the existing conventional overhead video
screens. The impact of the publicity regarding the
possibility of the faulty Swissair in-flight
entertainment system may have a severe impact on the
ability of the Company to market the ASI-9000 to
airlines as well as the potential for increased
difficulty in obtaining FAA certification for
installation of the systems.
POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO CONTINUE
OPERATIONS
The Company anticipates that the proceeds from
earlier stock subscription, revenues from any exercise
of the Options, anticipated revenue from operations,
and proceeds available from its suppliers will be
sufficient to meet the Company's contemplated
operating and capital requirements for approximately
12 months following the Effective Date. However, the
Company's revenue from operations depend on numerous
factors, including the rate of market acceptance of
the Company's products, the Company's ability to
maintain and expand its client base, the rate of
expansion of the Company's products, the level of
resources required to expand the Company's marketing
and sales organization, and other factors. The timing
and amount of such capital requirements cannot
accurately be predicted. If capital requirements vary
materially from those currently planned, the Company
may require financing sooner than anticipated.
The Company anticipates that in the event that
a customer airline requires the Company to fund
additional equipment, such as the video system or
telephone system, the Company will negotiate with the
vendors of such equipment to finance such an
arrangement in exchange for a share of the revenues
generated from the advertising use of such equipment.
No assurances can be made that any vendor will agree
to such terms. The Company has no commitments for any
financing, and there can be no assurance that any such
commitments can be obtained on terms acceptable to the
Company, if at all. Any equity financing may be
dilutive to the Company's stockholders, and debt
financing, if available, may involve restrictive
covenants with respect to dividends, raising future
capital and other financial and operational matters.
If the Company is unable to obtain financing as
needed, the Company may be required to reduce the
scope of its operations or its anticipated expansion,
which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company, as well as the market price of the Common
Stock. See "BUSINESS."
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS TO WHICH CERTAIN DIRECTORS MAY BE
SUBJECT
The Company purchases, and plans on purchasing
in the future, the components for the ASI-9000 Program
from ASIT Australia. After installation of the
ASI-9000 Program, the Company subcontracts the
technical support services, including support for the
ASI-9000 Program software, development, video
compressions and programming, to ASIT Australia and
other companies. Messrs. Ronald J. Chapman and Graham
O. Chappell, officers and directors of the Company,
are officers, directors and shareholders of ASIT
Australia and may be subject to various conflicts of
interest, including among others, the negotiation of
agreements between the Company and ASIT Australia and
for the purchase of products and/or the provision of
services. The officers and directors of the Company
devote such time to the business and affairs of the
Company as they deem required but each such officer or
director has other duties and responsibilities with
ASIT Australia that may conflict with the time which
might otherwise be devoted to the duties with the
Company.
The Company's directors are responsible for
the review and approval of all agreements between the
Company and ASIT Australia to ensure that the terms of
the agreements are commercially reasonable. The
Company has in the past and plans to continue in the
future to purchase products and services from ASIT
Australia. The Company believes that purchases of
products and services from ASIT Australia have been
made on terms that are not materially different than
the Company could have obtained from unaffiliated
third parties. There is no assurance that the
Company's prior and future agreements are on terms
they could have received from an unaffiliated third
party and if the Company could have received better
terms, the Company's profitability may suffer from its
conflicting relationship with ASIT Australia.
LIMITED TERM AGREEMENT FOR LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH ASIT
AUSTRALIA
The agreement with ASIT Australia is a
five-year agreement with an automatic five-year
renewable term. The agreement provides that ASIT
Australia will not sell any ACAMS II hardware for use
in any ASI-9000 System to any entity other than the
Company. At the conclusion of this agreement, the
exclusive licensing arrangement between the Company
and ASIT Australia will expire. The Company believes
that within ten years the technology used in the ACAMS
hardware and the ASI-9000 will have developed and the
Company will be using more evolved hardware and
software so that the exclusive rights of the agreement
to such technology will no longer be as necessary to
the Company's business.
RISKS OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH PRIMARY SUPPLIERS AND
CUSTOMERS
The Company believes that to be successful it
may establish on-going partnership relationships with
certain airlines and/or manufacturers of airline
entertainment equipment. The Company's reliance on
these relationships may involve risks including among
other things, the risk of bankruptcy of the partner,
the inability of the such partner to undertake
necessary financial obligations, possible inconsistent
business goals or interests or a possible conflict on
business decisions or positions. The Company has not
entered into any such relationships as of the date
hereof.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES
The majority of the Company's officers and
directors reside outside the United States. The
Company anticipates that a substantial portion of the
assets that may be developed or acquired by it will be
located outside the United States and, as a result, it
may not be possible for investors to effect service of
process within the United States upon the officers or
directors, or to enforce against the Company's assets
or against such person judgments obtained in United
States courts predicated upon the liability
provisions, and most particularly the civil liability
provisions, of the United States securities laws or
state corporation or other law.
COMPUTER SYSTEMS REDESIGNED FOR YEAR 2000
Many existing computer programs use only two
digits to identify a year in such program's date
field. These programs were designed and developed
without consideration of the impact of the change in
the century for which four digits will be required to
accurately report the date. If not corrected, many
computer applications could fail or create erroneous
results by or following the year 2000. Many of the
computer programs containing such date language
problems have been corrected by the companies or
governments operating such programs. Although none of
the Company's systems are effected by this problem,
the Company could be impacted by the failure of other
companies to timely correct their computer systems.
The Company's operations are dependent on the world
wide telecommunications networks including computer
systems, telephone systems, and delivery systems. If
any of these systems become inoperational the Company
will be directly and significantly effected.
NO DIVIDENDS PAID TO DATE
The Company has not paid any cash dividends on
its stock since inception. For the foreseeable
future, it is anticipated that any earnings which may
be generated from the Company's operations will be
used to finance the growth of the Company. Any cash
dividends will depend on earnings, if any, and on the
Company's financial requirements and other factors.
Dividends are paid at the discretion of the board of
directors. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to pay any dividends or, if able to so
make such dividends, that the board of directors will
deem it in the best interest of the Company to do so.
RELIANCE ON KEY MANAGEMENT
The Company's success is dependent upon the
experience and ability of its officers to administer
the Company's business. Ronald J. Chapman, President
and Chief Executive Officer, and Philip A. Shiels,
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, are
responsible for the day to day management of the
Company. All major decisions regarding the Company
are made by the board of directors. The Company has
not entered into any employment agreement or other
understanding with any key executive or obtained any
"key man" life insurance on any officer's life. The
loss of the services of such key executives could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to
successfully achieve its business objectives.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
The markets for in-flight entertainment
systems and interactive products are characterized by
rapid technological developments and changes in
customer preferences and requirements. As a result,
the Company's success is dependent upon its ability to
update on a regular basis and enhance the ASI-9000
Program to develop or acquire and introduce in a
timely manner new entertainment options and
programming software. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in developing or
licensing and marketing enhancements of the airline
programs or that the cost of licensing programming
software from third parties or developing its own
software will not become prohibitive. If the ASI-9000
Program does not incorporate newer technologies and
programming software the Company's business and
operating results may be adversely affected.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The installation and use of cabin management
systems requires prior certification and approval by
the FAA and regulatory authorities of foreign
governments on each aircraft type and for each
airline. Prior to certification and approval, the
ASI-9000 Program must be installed on an aircraft and
tested, including an in-flight test. The Company has
received certification for the ASI-9000 Program on Air
Europa utilizing the CMA-3200 Multi Media Computer
platform. The ACAMS has been flight tested and
installed on Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 767-300
aircraft. The CMA-3200 has been flight tested and
installed on the Boeing 737-300, 757-200 and the
McDonnell-Douglas DC-9-30 and MD-82. The ACAMS II is
currently undergoing certification. There can be no
assurance that further certifications and approvals
will be obtained, or obtained in a timely fashion, in
connection with any of the Company's current contracts
or thereafter. In addition, when and if FAA
certification is required and obtained, federal law
grants to the FAA the authority to re-examine at any
time the basis upon which certification and approval
of the Company's products may be granted and, if
appropriate to amend or revoke such certification and
approvals, subject to certain appeal rights.
DEPENDENCE UPON LIMITED NUMBER OF POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS
The sole market for the Company's products is
on commercial airlines. There are a limited number of
major commercial airlines worldwide. Accordingly,
even assuming a sustained commercial viability and the
successful marketing of the ASI-9000 Program, the
Company expects to have contracts with a limited
number of airlines for placement of the ASI-9000
Program and the equipment placed with each such
airline may account for a substantial portion of the
Company's revenues. The inability to generate new
contracts or to replace expired or non-renewed
contracts could result in substantial losses in future
fiscal periods. Moreover, because the Company's
revenues will be based on its relationship with a
limited number of airlines, losses suffered by
individual airlines may have a direct adverse affect
on the Company's profitability.
The Company targets airlines who generate a
substantial amount of revenue from tourists. Because
the Company expects to generate substantially all of
its revenue from tourist destination sponsors and
corporate sponsors targeting a tourist audience, the
Company is dependent upon the airline tourist trade.
Because the tourist airline trade varies from season
to season the Company expects its revenues will vary
proportionally to tourist travel.
RISK OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS AND DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN
SALES REPRESENTATIVES
Because the Company believes the ASI-9000
Program is commercially more viable on long haul
international flights, the Company's principal
targeted customers are international airlines.
Moreover, the Company intends to continue to use the
services of media sales representatives who locate and
negotiate contracts with foreign advertisers for the
sale of the advertising space. The Company intends to
pay the media sales representatives twice the standard
industry commission, which may increase the Company's
costs. Fees paid to such media sales representatives
are paid on a strictly commission basis from the
revenues received from the advertisers contracted by
such representative. There is no assurance that the
increase in business and revenues the Company receives
from paying a higher commission will offset the loss
of the excess commissions paid to the media agents.
See "BUSINESS".
A substantial portion of the Company's
operation will be subject to various factors
characteristic of conducting business outside the
United States, such as import duties, trade
restrictions, work stoppages, foreign currency
fluctuations, export controls or license requirements,
political or economic instability, impositions of
government controls and other factors, any or all of
which could have a material adverse effect on the
business of the Company. Agreements may also be more
difficult to enforce and receivables more difficult to
collect through a foreign country's legal or currency
expatriation systems. In addition, the laws of
certain countries relating to proprietary rights do
not protect the Company's products and intellectual
property rights to the same extent as do the laws of
the United States and Australia.
CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
The Company currently conducts its operations
with international airlines. As a result, certain
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of the
Company's operations may be denominated in foreign
currencies. These foreign denominated revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities would need to be
translated to the Company's reporting currency, the
United States dollar. As a result, the Company's
operations may be exposed to a certain degree of
exchange rate risk. The Company does not currently
engage in any hedging activities to mitigate its
exchange rate risk and there can be no assurance that
the Company will not experience material losses as a
result of changes in the relative value of the foreign
currencies, as compared to the United States dollar.
The Company may engage in hedging activities in the
future, in which case there can be no assurance that
the Company will not experience losses as a result of
such hedging activities.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS OF AIRLINE INDUSTRY
Over the last several years, the airline
industry has been characterized by increased service
and fare competition among domestic and foreign
airlines which has caused severe financial dislocation
in the airline industry. In the United States market,
several airlines have gone bankrupt and ceased all
operations; others have reorganized under the
provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and
have emerged as lower cost carrier; airlines which
have not sought bankruptcy protection are in the
process of attempting to reduce their cost of doing
business so as to compete effectively against lower
cost air carriers. These and other competitive
factors may have an affect on the international
airlines which the Company targets. Several
international carriers have been granted, or are
seeking, substantial capital inductions from their
government in order to continue operation. Airline
customers for the ASI -9000 Program may suffer
financial difficulties and there can be no assurance
that any airline customer for the ASI-9000 Program
will continue to provide its air transportation
services in the future. Further, there can be no
assurance that the Company can market the ASI-9000
Program to airlines that, in attempting to reduce
their costs of operations, are reducing the level of
certain cabin services that they are willing to
provide their passengers.
DEPENDENCE ON AND THE CYCLICAL NATURE OF AIR CARRIER
BUSINESS AND DEPENDENCE ON ADVERTISING REVENUES
The Company depends on its airline customers
who operate in a challenging business environment.
The air transportation industry is highly sensitive to
general economic conditions. Since a substantial
portion of passenger airline travel is discretionary,
particularly the tourism trade which the Company
targets, the industry tends to experience severe
adverse financial results during general economic
downturns. The airline industry may also be adversely
affected by unexpected global political developments.
Because the Company's revenues are heavily dependent
upon destination (tourism) based advertising, an
economic downturn that results in decreased airline
passengers may affect the Company's revenues.
RISKS RELATING TO GROWTH AND EXPANSION
Growth of the Company's business may place
significant pressures on the Company's management,
operation and technical resources. The Company
believes that for competitive reasons, it is important
to obtain a customer base as early as possible and
accordingly, the failure to expand operations in the
early years of the Company's business may hinder or
preclude significant future growth. If the Company is
successful in obtaining additional agreements with
airlines relating to the installation of the ASI-9000
Program, the Company may be required to raise
substantial additional funds and deliver large volumes
of products to its customer on a timely basis at a
reasonable cost to the Company. The Company contracts
all of its operations to third parties which may not
have the capital resources to meet wide scale
production requirements. The Company currently has
contracts with manufacturers for production, and may
enter into additional contracts with such domestic and
foreign manufacturers. However, there can be no
assurance that any manufacturing arrangement will be
entered into or will be successful, the Company's
efforts to conduct manufacturing activities will be
successful or that the Company or any supplier will be
able to satisfy commercial scale production
requirements on a timely and cost-effective basis.
The Company may be required to obtain additional
financing in order to pursue additional business
opportunities. The Company's success will also depend
in part upon its ability to provide airline customers
with timely service and support.
The Company will also be required to develop
and improve operational, management and financial
systems and control. Failure to manage growth would
have a material adverse effect on the business of the
Company and expenses arising from Company activities
to increase market penetration and support growth may
have a negative impact on operating results.
COMPETITION
The Company will compete with a number of
companies offering in-flight entertainment systems,
most of whom have substantially greater financial,
management, technical and other resources than the
Company and which offer products, systems or services
that airlines may purchase instead of the Company's
products. There can be no assurance that the Company
will compete effectively with such other companies or
other companies will not develop products which are
superior to the Company's or which achieve greater
market penetration.
The Company will also compete against other
advertising venues. The Company's competition will be
in many cases more established with proven success and
many of the Company's competitors will have greater
financial, management, marketing and other resources
than the Company. While the Company believes it can
compete for advertising revenues, there is no
assurance that advertisers will choose the Company's
product over more traditional advertising mediums.
DEPENDENCE ON THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
The Company does not produce any product and
subcontracts the assembly of the ASI-9000 Program from
components purchased from third party suppliers, and
its dependence on such suppliers will reduce its
control over the manufacturing process. In addition,
the Company currently uses single suppliers for
certain of the hardware compromising the ASI-9000
Program. Although the Company believes that other
sources of supply are available, delays or increased
costs associated with locating and procuring such
supplies could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company also subcontracts substantially
all manufacture, assembly, installation, repair and
customer service to third party companies. The
Company's profits could be affected by the risk of
bankruptcy or economic downturn of any of its
subcontractors, the inability of the subcontractor to
undertake necessary financial obligations, the
possible inconsistent business goals or interests of a
subcontractor, or a possible conflict on business
decisions.
FACTORS BEYOND THE COMPANY'S CONTROL
Numerous conditions beyond the Company's
control may substantially affect its success such as
rates of, and costs associated with, new customer
acquisition, customer retention of customer airlines,
costs relating to the expansion of operations,
including upgrading the Company's systems, the timing
and market acceptance of new products, changes in the
pricing policies of the Company's competitors, changes
in operating expenses, the introduction of alternative
technologies, increased competition in the Company's
markets and general economic factors.
CONTROL BY PRESENT STOCKHOLDERS
The number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock will not change pursuant to this offering,
except with the exercise of the Options. Prior to any
sale of the Securities offered hereby, the officers,
directors and affiliates owned a majority of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, such
officers and directors have been in a position to
elect all of the Company's directors, to approve
amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation, to
authorize issuance of additional shares of stock, to
award performance bonuses and other compensation
arrangements and otherwise to direct the affairs of
the Company. Upon sale of some or all of the
Securities offered hereby, the present shareholders
may no longer be in a position to elect the Company's
directors or otherwise control the Company. However,
the Company may, in the future, make payments to ASIT
Australia for purchase of the ACAMS and other
equipment by issuance of shares of its Common Stock.
ASIT Australia may be in a position to receive a
sufficient number of such shares to control the
outcome of shareholder votes. Certain officers and
directors of the Company are controlling shareholders
of ASI Holdings Pty. Ltd., the controlling shareholder
of ASIT Australia. See "SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT".
ACQUISITION FINANCING; ADDITIONAL DILUTION
The Company may attempt to finance future
purchases and acquisitions using shares of the
Company's Common Stock, options, cash, borrowed funds
or a combination thereof. The Company has no
arrangements, agreements or understandings to that
effect at this time. If the Company's Common Stock
does not maintain a sufficient market value, or if the
price of the Company's Common Stock is highly
volatile, or if potential acquisition candidates are
otherwise unwilling to accept the Company's Common
Stock as part of the consideration for the sale of
their businesses, the Company may be required to use
more of its cash resources or more borrowed funds in
order to initiate and maintain an acquisition program.
If the Company does not have sufficient cash
resources, its growth could be limited unless it is
able to obtain additional capital though debt or
equity offerings. The Company may also enter into
credit facilities with one or more lenders to obtain
financing to be used in connection with future
purchases or acquisitions. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain such financing
if and when it is needed or that any such financing
will be available on terms it deems acceptable.
The Company has authorized but unissued and
unreserved shares of the Company's Common Stock which
the Company will be able to issue in order to finance
purchases or acquisitions without obtaining
stockholder approval for such issuance. Existing
shareholders may suffer dilution if the Company uses
its Common Stock as consideration for future purchases
or acquisitions. Moreover, the issuance of additional
shares of Company Common Stock may have a negative
impact on earnings per share and may negatively impact
the market price of the Company's Common Stock if any
trading market is established of which there can be no
assurance.
ISSUANCE OF FUTURE SECURITIES MAY DILUTE INVESTORS'
SHARE VALUE
The Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company authorizes the issuance of a maximum of
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value,
and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.0001 par
value. As of the date hereof there are 5,754,337
shares of Common Stock outstanding and no shares of
Preferred Stock outstanding. The future issuance of
all or part of the remaining authorized Common Stock
may result in substantial dilution in the percentage
of the Company's Common Stock held by the Company's
then existing shareholders, including purchasers of
the Securities offered herein. Moreover, any Common
Stock issued in the future may be valued on an
arbitrary basis by the Company. The issuance of the
Company's securities for future services or
acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the
effect of diluting the value of the Securities offered
hereby, and might have an adverse effect on any
trading market, should a trading market develop for
the Company's Common Stock. See "BUSINESS".
POSSIBLE INABILITY TO EXERCISE OPTIONS
Because the Options may be transferred, it is
possible that the Options may be acquired by persons
residing in states where the Company is unable to
qualify the Shares of Common Stock underlying the
Options for sale upon exercise. Option holders
residing in those states would have no choice but to
attempt to sell their Options (if a market then exists
as to which there can be no assurance) or let them
expire unexercised. Also, it is possible that the
Company may be unable, for unforeseen reasons, to
cause a registration statement covering the Shares
underlying the Options to be in effect when the
Options are exercisable. In that event, the Options
may expire unless extended by the Company as permitted
because a registration statement must be in effect,
including audited financial statements, in order for
Option holders to exercise their Options. See
"DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES"
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF AUTHORIZATION OF
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has not designated or issued any
shares of its authorized shares of Preferred Stock.
The Company may, without further action or vote by
shareholders of the Company, designate and issue
shares of Preferred Stock. The terms of any series of
Preferred Stock, which may include priority claims to
assets and dividends and special voting rights, could
adversely affect the rights of holders of the Common
Stock and thereby reduce the value of the Common
Stock. The designation and issuance of Preferred
Stock favorable to current management or shareholders
could make the possible takeover of the Company or the
removal of management of the Company more difficult
and discourage hostile bids for control of the Company
which might have provided shareholders with premiums
for their Securities.
RESALES OF THE SECURITIES UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS
The National Securities Market Improvement Act
of 1996 ("NMSIA") limits the authority of states to
impose restrictions upon sales of Securities made
pursuant to SectionSection4(1) and 4(3) of the
Securities Act of companies which file reports under
Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act.
Sales of the Securities in the secondary market will
be made pursuant to Section 4(1) (sales other than by
an issuer, underwriter or broker). It is anticipated
that following the Effective Date the Selling
Securityholder's Securities will be eligible for
resale in the secondary market in each state.
NO CURRENT TRADING MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES
There is currently no established public
trading market for the Securities. No assurance can
be given that an active trading market in the
Company's securities will develop after completion of
the Offering, or, if developed, that it will be
sustained. The Company intends to voluntarily
register its securities under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by filing a
registration statement thereunder and to become
subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act.
The Company intends to apply for admission to
quotation of the Securities on the NASD OTC Bulletin
Board and, if and when qualified, it intends to apply
for admission for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market. If the Company's securities are not quoted
on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, then the Company may
offer its securities in what are commonly referred to
as the "pink sheets" of the National Quotation Bureau,
Inc. To qualify for quotation on the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board, an equity security must have one
registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker,
willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor
the company for listing on the Bulletin Board. There
can be no assurance that a regular trading market for
the Common Stock will develop or that, if developed,
it will be sustained. There is no assurance that the
Company will ever meet the requirements for admission
to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Various factors, such
as the Company's operating results, changes in laws,
rules or regulations, general market fluctuations,
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts
and other factors may have a significant impact on the
market price of the Securities. The market price for
the securities of public companies often experience
wide fluctuations which are not necessarily related to
the operating performance of such public companies.
If the Company is unable to satisfy the requirements
for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or becomes
unable to satisfy the requirements for continued
listing thereon, and trading, if any, is conducted in
the OTC market, a shareholder may find it more
difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate
quotations as to the market value of, the Company's
securities. See "DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES".
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
of the Company provide that the Company shall
indemnify its officers and directors against losses
sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from any
transaction in such officer's or director's respective
managerial capacity unless such officer or director
violates a duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith,
engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly
violated the law, approved an improper dividend, or
derived an improper benefit from the transaction. The
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
also provide for the indemnification by it of its
officers and directors against any losses or
liabilities incurred as a result of the manner in
which such officers and directors operate the
Company's business or conduct its internal affairs,
provided that in connection with these activities they
act in good faith and in a manner which they
reasonably believe to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the Company, and its conduct does
not constitute gross negligence, misconduct or breach
of fiduciary obligations. See
"MANAGEMENT--Indemnification of Officers, Directors,
Employees, and Agents".
PENNY STOCK REGULATION
The Company's Common Stock will be considered
"penny stock". Penny stocks generally are equity
securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share
other than securities registered on certain national
securities exchanges or listed on the Nasdaq Stock
Market, provided that current price and volume
information with respect to transactions in such
securities is provided by the exchange or system. The
Company's securities may be subject to "penny stock"
rules that impose additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell such
securities to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors (generally those with assets
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer
must make a special suitability determination for the
purchase of such securities and have received the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior
to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction
involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission
relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer
also must disclose the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative and
current quotations for the securities. Finally,
monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent
price information on the limited market in penny
stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may
restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the
Company's securities. The foregoing required penny
stock restrictions will not apply to the Company's
securities if such securities maintain a market price
of $5.00 or greater. There can be no assurance that
the price of the Company's securities will be
maintained at such a level.
ADDITIONAL SECURITIES ENTERING PUBLIC MARKET WITHOUT
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL PURSUANT TO RULE 144
All of the 5,754,337 shares outstanding
including the 3,516,825 which are the subject of this
registration statement, are currently "restricted
securities" as such term is defined in Rule 144 ("Rule
144") of the General Rules and Regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Rules")
promulgated under the Securities Act. In general,
under Rule 144, if adequate public information is
available with respect to a company, a person who has
satisfied a one year holding period as to his
restricted securities or an affiliate who holds
unrestricted securities may sell, within any three
month period, a number of that company's shares that
does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then
outstanding shares of the class of securities being
sold or, if the security is trading on the Nasdaq
Stock Market or an exchange, the average weekly
trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to
such sale. Sales of restricted securities by a person
who is not an affiliate of the company (as defined in
the Securities Act) and who has satisfied a two year
holding period may be made without any volume
limitation. Pursuant to such Rule 144, after the
expiration of the holding period certain shares of
Common Stock now restricted for trading will become
eligible for trading in the public market without any
payment therefore or increase to the Company's
capitalization. Possible or actual sales of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock by all or some of
the present stockholders may have an adverse effect on
the market price of the Company's Shares should a
public trading market develop. The additional
availability of such shares to be traded in the public
market would increase the "public float" of the
Company without any corresponding increase in the
Company's capital. Upon effectiveness of the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms
a part, the 3,516,825 shares registered herein will no
longer be subject to Rule 144 except the 722,475
shares held by affiliates of the Company offered
herein which will continue to be subject to the
restrictions on the transferability of shares held by
affiliates contained in Rule 144.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS MAY SELL SECURITIES AT ANY
PRICE OR TIME
After effectiveness of the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, the
Selling Securityholders may offer and sell their
Securities at a price and time determined by the
Selling Securityholder in accordance with applicable
federal and state securities laws. Affiliates of the
Company will be subject to limitations of Rule 144,
including its volume limitations in the sale of their
Shares. The timing of such sales and the price at
which the Securities are sold by the Selling
Securityholders could have an adverse effect upon the
public market for the Securities, should one develop.
THE COMPANY
ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. was incorporated
in Australia in 1993 as a subsidiary of ASIT Australia
until 1996 when it became an independent corporation
through a corporate restructuring. ASI Entertainment,
Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of
Delaware on April 29, 1998. In order to change its
situs of incorporation, in July, 1998, ASI
Entertainment, Inc. (Delaware) acquired all the
outstanding stock of ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd., in
exchange for 5,293,990 shares of its Common Stock.
ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. purchased the ASI-9000
Program from ASIT Australia and the Company will
acquire the ACAMS II hardware from ASIT Australia.
The Company subcontracts the production, installation
and maintenance of the ASI-9000. ASI Entertainment,
Inc. (Delaware) has three wholly-owned subsidiaries,
ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd., ASI Media Pty. Ltd. (an
Australian corporation), and ASI Technologies, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation). Certain of the officers,
directors and Selling Securityholders of the Company
are the officers, directors and shareholders of ASIT
Australia. See "MANAGEMENT".
The Company has an authorized capitalization
of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value of
$.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") and 20,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001. See
"DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES". The main offices of the
Company are located at Suite 3, 1601 Main Road,
Research, Victoria, 3095 Australia and its telephone
number is 61-3-9437-1233 and its fax number is
61-3-9437-1299. The United States offices of the
Company are located at 15200 East Girard Avenue, Suite
3000 Aurora, Colorado 80014.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any proceeds from
the sale of the Securities being registered hereby.
The Company will receive the proceeds, if any, of
which there can be no assurance, from the exercise of
the Options. The Company has issued Options to
purchase 4,927,173 shares of its Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.50 per share exercisable
commencing on the Effective Date until June 30, 2000.
2,327,161 of such Options are being registered for
sale herein. The Company will receive the proceeds
from the exercise of the Options, up to a possible
aggregate amount of $2,463,586. The Company
anticipates that it will utilize the proceeds from any
Options exercised for installation expenses of the
ASI-9000 on any new contracts, for marketing and
advertising the ASI-9000 and for travel expenses
involved therewith, for payment of the retainers to
the officers of the Company, and for general
administrative purposes.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company currently intends to retain
substantially all of its earnings, if any, to support
the development of its business and has no present
intention of paying any dividends on its Common Stock
in the foreseeable future. Any future determination
as to the payment of dividends will be at the
discretion of the Board, and will depend on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations
and capital requirements, and such other factors as
the Board deems relevant.
BUSINESS
The Company provides in-flight entertainment
and data communications systems for airlines. The
Company has purchased the ASI-9000 and all
intellectual property associated thereto from ASIT
Australia. The ASI-9000 Program consists of and
integrates (i) the ACAMS II, a cabin management and
communication hardware system, (ii) a computer video
system and (iii) a marketing program for destination
and corporate advertising on-board commercial
aircraft. The ASI-9000 Program is designed to
generate revenues from the sale of advertising space
on the in-flight video and audio programs as well as
other possible forums to destination sponsors and
corporations. The Company subcontracts the
production, installation, and maintenance of the
ASI-9000 Program. Until final certification of the
ACAMS II, the Company is using the CMA-3200 computer
platform for installation of the ASI-9000 Program.
The Company has entered into an agreement with and has
installed the ASI-9000 Program on nine aircraft owned
by Air Europa, a Spanish airline.
THE ASI-9000 PROGRAM
The Company has entered into an agreement with
and has installed its ASI-9000 Program on nine
aircraft owned by Air Europa, a Spanish airline. The
ASI-9000 Program consists of hardware and software
used for communications and to present in-flight
entertainment in a digital video form. The ASI-9000
Program utilizes one of two hardware platforms, the
CMA-3200 Multi Media Computer or the ASI ACAMS-EC486
Cabin Terminal (the"ACAMS II"). The CMA-3200 Multi
Media Computer provides the display and advertisements
portion of the audio and video programs. The ACAMS II
provides both the digital multi media capability of
the CMA-3200 plus a PC-computer based communications
link.
The ASI-9000 Program is designed to procure
advertising and entertainment features from the
tourism industry participants operating in cities or
regions to which its customer airlines fly. This
software also allows the flight attendants to send and
receive messages via the world wide aeronautical radio
and satellite network. The system runs continuously
from take-off until landing and the video player
automatically returns to the flight information show
carrying the customer's advertisements after the movie
or other entertainment selected by the airline has
finished.
The Company assumes full responsibility for
operation and administration of the video and audio
program, subject only to the airlines right to ensure
that the content of the program is suitable. There is
no assurance that the Company' customer airline
passengers will be satisfied with the Company's
product or that the Company's competitors will not
develop similar or better technology in the future.
The ASI-9000 Program is run on equipment which
must be aviation certified. Components of the system
are currently certified for use on the Boeing 747-400,
757-200, and 737-300, McDonnell Douglas DC-9, and MD
82 and the Company anticipates that it will be
certified for use on the Boeing 767 in the future.
The ACAMS system was flight tested on Qantas Airways.
The ACAMS II system is in the process of FAA required
certification for use on commercial aircraft.
ACAMS II
The ACAMS II system combines the
communications capability of the original ACAMS
system, which was tested on Qantas Airlines, with the
multi media capacity of the CMA-3200 into a single
unit. As a single unit, the ACAMS II saves space and
weight and provides the ability to show advertising
and to provide the capability to place purchase orders
from the aircraft for such advertised, and other,
items. The installation of the ACAMS II is less
expensive than that of the CMA-3200 which saves the
Company money on reduced installation costs. When the
ASI-9000 is installed on the ACAMS II hardware
platform, the ASI-9000 can provide system integration,
destination or other specific entertainment and
advertising, detailed flight information, crew and
passenger communications, passenger information and
ground communication, entertainment, electronic
product catalogues, electronic product ordering,
additional multi media capabilities, and a unique
computer video software and communications interface
which allows the system to run with minimal
operational input from flight attendants. The ACAMS
II hardware technology was developed by and is owned
by ASIT Australia. The Company will purchase the
ACAMS II terminals from ASIT Australia once the ACAMS
II is flight certified.
The software and compression technology offers
reduced advertising production cost by allowing the
frequent addition of new advertisers or the video
alteration of existing advertisements; all
advertisements are stored on the system for the entire
route structure and the digital computer technology
produces a high quality display. The Company believes
it will appeal to airlines because of its ease of use
and expansive functionality. All of its customers'
promotional advertisements or corporate advertisements
can be stored digitally in the ACAMS II cabin
terminal's memory. In contrast to the standard
industry tape system, the Company believes its product
decreases the necessity of cabin crew assistance, thus
decreasing the chance for human error associated with
playing and rewinding tapes. Because the individual
advertisements and promotional pieces are stored on a
computer, the ACAMS II can be programmed to play at
specific times according to the precise destination of
each flight, thus the Company's advertising customer
can be confident in reaching a highly targeted
audience.
The ACAMS II also has a communications device
which allows the flight attendants to communicate with
land via the aircraft radio and satellite
communications systems. The ACAMS II when connected
to the satellite communication system on the aircraft
can transmit and receive data when the aircraft is
flying over land or water worldwide. The ACAMS II
uses the international standard communications
protocol that allows the flight attendants to fax or
e-mail data for passengers.
If the ACAMS II does not obtain certification,
the Company will continue to use the CMA-3200 or
alternate equipment until such modifications can be
made on ACAMS II to allow for its certification.
CERTIFICATION PROCESS AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The installation and use of cabin management
systems requires prior certification and approval by
the FAA and regulatory authorities of foreign
governments on each aircraft type and for each
airline. The certification process begins with the
installation of the system on an aircraft after which
it is certified by an FAA accredited engineer. The
certification is then applicable to similar aircraft
types and modified for other aircraft type. In
countries other than the United States, the equivalent
aviation authority procedures will apply to the
certification of the system, but the United States FAA
sets the standards that are primarily used throughout
the world. Certification can take up to 120 days.
Prior to certification and approval, the
manufacturer must demonstrate that the system has been
designed and manufactured and complies with the
appropriate aviation standards, namely DO160C for
hardware and DO178 for software. Following this the
ASI-9000 Program must be installed on an aircraft and
tested, including an in-flight test. The Company has
received certification for the ASI-9000 Program on Air
Europa aircraft utilizing the CMA-3200 Multi Media
Computer platform. The ACAMS has been flight tested
and installed on Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 767-300
aircraft. The CMA-3200 has been flight tested and
installed on the Boeing 737-300, 757-200 and the
McDonnell-Douglas DC-9-30 and MD-82. The ACAMS II is
currently undergoing certification. The Company
anticipates certification approval for the ACAMS II
and is prepared to make what ever modifications are
required to obtain such approval.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Since 1993, ASIT Australia has spent over
A$5,000,000 developing the ASI program. The
technology behind the Company's ASI-9000 Program
evolved from a data link aviation communications
system, designated the Airline Communications and
Management System ("ACAMS") developed by ASIT
Australia in conjunction with Qantas Airways and
Swissair. The technology was sponsored by Qantas
Airways with the objective of using Qantas Airways as
a platform to create a product with export potential.
The requirements of this project mandated that ASIT
Australia both develop an interface which would allow
the crew to communicate through the aircraft's
satellite and radio communications data link and
develop an interface between the ACAMS datalink and
the aircraft's video systems. This interface evolved
into the ASI-9000 computer video.
ASIT Australia established a relationship with
the Canadian Marconi Company ("CMC") who arranged for
the ASI-9000 to be tested on Hawaiian Airlines. The
initial test program was carried out on Hawaiian
Airlines in conjunction with CMC and Hollingsead
International, Inc., a manufacturer of after market
video systems. ASIT Australia mounted its software on
CMC's CMA-3200 multi media computer equipment which
was installed together with Hollingsead's video
equipment on three aircraft operated by Hawaiian
Airlines.
OPERATIONS TO DATE
Hawaiian Airline Project. ASIT Australia
equipped three aircraft operated by Hawaiian Airlines
at a cost of $180,000 per aircraft but was unable to
equip the remaining ten aircraft originally
anticipated to be equipped as ASIT Australia was
unable to finance the purchase and installation price
of the video equipment of $50,000 per aircraft charged
by Hollingsead International, Inc. ASIT Australia had
secured 14 advertisers for the video program based on
total air time on all 13 aircraft but was not able to
receive any funds from such advertisers for air time
as only three aircraft were equipped with the
equipment. ASIT Australia had intended the Hawaiian
Airlines project to be a test program of its
"infotainment" program, to prove its feasibility and
to showcase its potential to advertisers. The Company
is not currently involved in the installation of any
of its equipment on Hawaiian Airlines.
Air Europa Project. The Company acquired the
CMA-3200 from ASIT Australia for an aggregate of
A$527,980 and installed nine CMA-3200 units on
aircraft operated by Air Europa. From July 1, 1997 to
June 30, 1998 (the first year of operations), the
Company has received approximately $44,957 in revenues
generated from the equipment on the Air Europa
aircraft. The company has obtained five major
advertisers on the Air Europa aircraft systems.
While the Company intends to provide the
ASI-9000 Program utilizing the ACAMS II for its future
contracts, the Company's present contracts have been
filled by mounting the software on the CMA-3200
manufactured by CMC. The Company does not currently
have any additional contracts for the installation of
the ASI-9000.
SALES AND PRICING
The Company's Supply and License Agreement to
be used with potential airline customers is based on
allocating five minutes of advertising space per
flight per hour with additional sponsorship times
available during the safety briefing presented prior
to take off. The Company anticipates that it will
work with the airline in developing an advertising
program that suits the airline's image profile. The
price and number of times the advertisement will run
may vary depending on available space and the flight
profile. Currently, the Company anticipates charging
US$2 per advertisement to as high as US$10 per
advertisement on a large aircraft where the
communications capability is available. Initially,
the Company intends to target major advertisers in
order to enhance the image of the presentation and
secure a revenue stream and, as a result, may be
offered substantial discounts. Passengers will be
able to make bookings, reservations or purchases of
in-flight advertisers' products while on board the
aircraft with such orders being transmitted via the
ASI-9000 Program. From the transmission records of
such bookings, reservations or purchases, the Company
will be able to bill the advertiser for an agreed
commission for each booking, reservation or purchase.
The Company's sales target for each ASI-9000 Program
in operation is revenue of US$100,000 per annum per
aircraft including advertising revenues and in-flight
booking commission.
In order to provide an additional incentive
for the media agents to procure advertising, the
Company plans on paying its media agents commission on
sales of up to 32% of revenue, two fold the industry
standard. The Company concluded that its target
airlines, which generate most of their revenues from
tourism, generate smaller profits from ticket sales by
offering discounted fares and then attempt to increase
their profits by charging for additional on board
services. These airlines may be interested in the
communications features of the ASI-9000 Program where
the passengers can order goods and services from the
cabin crew and the crew can place the order through
the ACAMS II.
The Company purchases from ASIT Australia
either the CMA-3200 hardware at $25,000 per unit or
the ACAMS II hardware at $30,000 per unit. The
Company subcontracts for the production of the
ASI-9000 integration technology. The cost to the
Company for installation of the ASI-9000 excluding the
hardware is approximately $5,000 per aircraft for
installation of units like those installed on the Air
Europa aircraft and up to $10,000 for units in which
the communications link is involved.
OPERATIONS AND SUPPLIERS
The Company has two offices in Melbourne,
Australia and Denver, Colorado. The Company's core
component of the ASI-9000, the ACAMS II Cabin
Terminal, has been manufactured to date by ASIT
Australia and Philips Defence Systems Group. While
the Company anticipates that it will install the
ASI-9000 Program with the ACAMS II in the future, its
current contracts employ the CMA-3200 manufactured by
Canadian Marconi Company.
The Company has outsourced all of its
operations to companies and individuals specializing
in either the manufacture and installation of avionics
or the procurement of advertisement sponsors. The
Company believes that it currently has sufficient
inventory to fill an order for its product by a new
customer airline. The Company will contract with an
installation company to install its product on the
customer airline. Once installed, the Company
outsources all of the engineering and technical
support services to ASIT Australia and other suitably
certified organizations. The acquisition of the
media, software development, video compressions and
programming of the ASI-9000 Program is provided by
ASIT Australia and sales functions will be handled by
media agents in destination cities.
MARKETING
After considering the competitive environment
of the airline entertainment industry, the Company
has decided on a marketing strategy to provide the
ASI-9000 program at little or no cost to a customer
airline in consideration for the Company receiving
sole and exclusive rights over the revenue stream
created from the sale of air time to advertisers
including destination specific tourist operators,
local, national and foreign corporate advertisers and
from other services provided by the equipment.
The Company researches the market and targets
selected airlines based on a commercial and technical
evaluation. The Company has formed relationships with
other avionics manufacturers who sell complimentary
products to the Company's ASI-9000 Program. The
Company anticipates these strategic partners will
introduce the Company to airlines as such target
airlines look for ways to enhance the products and
services they purchase from the alliance partner. The
Company anticipates that these airlines will be
commercially aggressive in competitive markets,
tourism based, and meet specific technical criteria.
The airlines which meet the Company's criteria usually
have fleets in the range of 10 to 200 aircraft,
operate on tight budgetary constraints, and compete
with the major airlines. Because the Company's
competitors' products are often expensive and require
major capital outlays by the airlines, the Company
believes that the target airlines may be receptive to
a self funding arrangement where the Company will
provide and install the system at nominal cost to the
airline. In return, the Company maintains ownership of
the equipment during the term of the contract and also
controls the total revenue stream generated by the
system over the term of the contract.
The Company believes that the ASI-9000 Program
appeals to airlines because airlines can upgrade their
overall presentation and corporate image at little or
no cost and the provide improved passenger service.
The Company also believes that with the current world
wide pressure on airline yields, some airlines have
become receptive to proposals to increase revenues.
The Company believes that this form of
marketing differs from the competition because its
competitors approach the airlines on the basis of the
airline purchasing the competitor's system rather than
licensing the system at nominal cost in exchange for
advertising rights. The Company conducts research
and targets only those airlines that fit its profile
and only then will the Company approve the investment.
This profile takes into account the manner in which
advertising is sold and how destination sponsors can
be attracted.
PROPERTY
The Company does not own any property other
than the its inventory of equipment. The Company
maintains its headquarters at the offices of Chapman
International Pty. Ltd. at which location it also
stores its in-flight computer equipment. The Company
does not have any written lease with Chapman
International which has indicated that the Company may
use such space as long as it requires. Chapman
International does not charge the Company for use of
its office space and facilities.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES--CHAPMAN INTERNATIONAL PTY. LTD.
Chapman International Pty. Ltd. provides
management services to the Company. Ronald J.
Chapman, President and a director of the Company, is
the owner of 50% of Chapman International Pty. Ltd.
and the beneficial owner, through the ownership of his
wife, of an additional 25%. Philip A. Shiels, a
director of the Company, is the owner of the remaining
25% of Chapman International Pty. Ltd.
The Company paid Chapman International Pty.
Ltd. a fee of A$112,000 for management services
rendered by Messrs. Chapman and Shiels which fee was
in turn paid to Messrs. Chapman and Shiels for
services rendered to the Company for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998. Mr. Chapman receives a monthly
retainer for services to the Company of A$6,000 and
Mr. Shiels receives a monthly retainer for services to
the Company of A$5,000.
There are no written agreements between the
Company or its subsidiary and Chapman International
Pty. Ltd. There is an understanding, however, that
Chapman International Pty. Ltd. will provide
management and marketing services for the Company.
Chapman International Pty. Ltd. has no legal recourse
to enforce any understanding between it and the
Company for use of its services and the Company could
determine to use alternate sources for management and
marketing services.
CUSTOMERS
The Company has entered into a Supply and
License Agreement with Air Europa whereby the Company
licensed the hardware, software and the operating
systems to Air Europa and installed the ASI-9000
Program utilizing the CMA-3200 computer platform on
two B737-300 aircraft and seven B757-200 aircraft.
The contract includes an option to install the ACAMS
II Cabin Management and Communications System on an
additional twelve B737's and two B767's. The ACAMS
II system is a second generation ACAMS not yet in
production and the option will only be viable if Air
Europa installs a data communications link on its
aircraft.
Pursuant to the current agreement with Air
Europa, the Company, through its subsidiary ASIE,
receives a license fee of $3,625 per calendar month
and a maintenance fee of approximately $1,875 for each
installed ASI-9000 Program from the advertising
revenues received from the systems. If insufficient
advertising funds are received to cover the license
and maintenance fees, the Company absorbs the
shortfall. Air Europe receives any amounts over the
$3,625 license fee and $1,875 maintenance fee (after
deduction of any direct costs, including payment of
commissions, if any, to any media sales
representatives).
The license for each ASI-9000 Program unit
lasts five years and upon expiration of such term, the
hardware will belong to Air Europa but Air Europa will
not acquire any rights to the software or operating
systems.
The Company anticipates that agreements with
future customers will not include a set monthly
licensing fee but will provide that the Company retain
the revenues generated from advertisers and sponsors
from which it will pay sales commissions and expenses.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to reach such agreements with any future
customers.
COMPETITION
The Company competes for both advertising
space and provision of equipment to airlines. The
Company believes that it operates in a market niche
where there are no other companies providing both the
same product with a similar price structure. The
Company believes, however, that the market for
technologically advanced in-flight entertainment and
communications systems is emerging and that
competition to provide such services to the airlines
will be intense. The Company is aware of several
other companies that provide systems that compete with
the ASI-9000 Program , some of which have been
installed on aircraft. Most of these competitors have
substantial greater financial and other resources than
the Company and, accordingly, may have a significant
competitive advantage over the Company. The Company's
principal competitors include B/E Aerospace,Inc.,
Hughes Avicom International, Inc. (recently purchased
by Rockwell), Matsushita Avionics Systems Corporation
and Sony Trans Com. The Company is also aware of
several other companies that are developing in-flight
entertainment systems or seeking joint ventures in the
field.
The Company believes it will compete with
other companies based on the company's marketing plan
that requires only nominal capital expenditures from
the airline. The Company also believes that it will
compete by targeting airlines that will be attracted
to this structure which allows the airline to provide
more customer service at little cost to the airline.
The Company believes that most of the Company's
competitors are producing more technologically
advanced entertainment systems but at a far greater
expense to the airline both in the cost of the
entertainment system itself and in the operating cost
due to the extra weight of these in-flight systems.
Because the Company's marketing plan requires
that the Company purchase, produce and install the
ASI-9000 at its own expense rather than at the
expense of customer airlines, the initial costs to the
Company will be significantly greater than the costs
incurred by the Company's competitors who charge the
airlines for the purchase and installation of similar
equipment. The Company also incurs the maintenance
costs with the systems once installed and operational.
There is no assurance that the Company will have the
funds necessary to produce, purchase and install the
equipment once customer airlines are identified. The
Company anticipates that in the event that it does not
have sufficient funds to meet the initial expenses of
production and installation of the ASI-9000, it will
attempt to negotiate a revenue-sharing partnership
with vendors of the equipment or with the airlines.
There is no assurance that its competitors
will not offer services similar to the Company's with
a similar business plan. Nor is there an assurance
that passengers and airlines will not demand more
technologically advanced entertainment products or
that the Company will be able to compete with other
more established sources for advertising.
EMPLOYEES
The Company is managed by Ronald Chapman in
his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer
and Philip Shiels in his capacity as Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer. The Company currently
has no employees.
AGREEMENTS WITH ASIT AUSTRALIA
By an agreement of January 9, 1996, ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd. (prior to becoming a
subsidiary of the Company) purchased from ASI
Technologies Pty. Ltd. ("ASIT Australia") for the
purchase price of A$1,200,000, among other items, 40
outstanding shares of ASI Media Pty. Ltd., 40 Units in
the ASI Media Unit Trust, the intellectual property of
the ASI-9000 Program, and all rights contained in an
exclusive Reseller Agreement of January 1, 1996, for
the ACAMS II Cabin Management and Communications
System. The purchase price was paid by the issuance
of 12,000,000 shares of ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd.
common stock. The exclusive Reseller Agreement
provides, among other matters, that ASI Entertainment
Pty. Ltd. shall have the sole and exclusive right on a
world wide basis to purchase ACAMS terminals from ASI
Australia for use in the ASI-9000 at $30,000 each, or
such lesser price as mutually agreed from time to
time, and that ASI Australia shall provide all
necessary technical support services, including
training, to ASI Entertainment Pty Ltd. or its
customers in regard to such terminals. The Reseller
Agreement has a term of 5 years from the date of
execution (January 9, 1996) with an automatic 5 year
renewal at the option of ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd.
By an agreement of December 16, 1996, ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd. (prior to becoming a
subsidiary of the Company) purchased from ASIT
Australia for the purchase price of A$527,980, the
hardware and equipment, including aircraft
certification on the Boeing 737 and Boeing 757,
relating to the Passenger Video Systems which had been
installed on certain aircraft operated by Air Europa
including 9 moving map displays (the CMA 3200), 9
cabin control units, 9 installation kits and 8 Sony
8.6" monitors. The purchase price was paid by the
issuance of 5,279,800 shares of ASI Entertainment Pty.
Ltd common stock.
ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The officers and directors
of ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. are Ronald J. Chapman,
President and a director of the Company, Graham O.
Chappell, a director of the Company, and Philip A.
Shiels, Chief Financial Officer.
ASI MEDIA PTY. LTD.
By a Deed of Trust of January 1, 1992, the ASI
Media Unit Trust was created ("ASIM Trust") for which
ASI Media Pty. Ltd. ("ASIM") acted as trustee. The
use of a "unit trust" entity in Australian is similar
to a joint venture partnership agreement as used in
the United States. By agreement between ASIM and ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd. of February 21, 1996 (the
"Media Agreement"), ASIM had the right to obtain and
sell the advertising and receive the revenues from the
ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. systems. As a
consequence, the beneficiaries of the ASIM Trust,
including ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. , and an
unrelated independent company (Vision, Inc.), and an
Australian public company (Australian Authorised
Investments, Ltd.), were entitled to receive the such
proceeds from the advertising and sponsorship of ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd. services. By agreement of
October 9, 1997, ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. acquired
for a purchase price of A$500,000 all of ASIM's right,
title and interest to the Media Agreement and the
Media Agreement was canceled and voided. The purchase
price was paid by distribution of 3,000,000 shares
(valued at $.10 per share) to all the beneficiaries of
the ASIM Trust except ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. No
distribution of shares was made to ASI Entertainment
Pty. Ltd. in its capacity as a Unit holder because
holding shares in itself is not permitted by Australia
corporate law. ASIM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company. The officers and directors of ASIM are
Ronald J. Chapman, director and secretary, and Graham
O. Chappell, director.
GUARANTEES
The suppliers used by the Company, CMC,
Hollingsead and ASI Australia, typically warrant their
products for three years. At the end of three years,
repairs are made on a time and material basis.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The following information was derived from
reports of the World Airlines Entertainment
Association Airlines at www.waea.com and the Airbus
Industries 1998 Global Market Forecast of April 1998.
Airlines spent 15% more in 1997 than in 1996
on in-flight entertainment. This increase was due to
a continuing increase in the number of wide-body
aircraft installation, a new trend in retrofitting
narrow body aircraft with in-flight entertainment
systems, a continuing increase in demand for
programing due to more in-flight entertainment
aircraft and more "multi-channel" video systems, and a
trend toward more telephone-equipped aircraft and more
telephone units per aircraft.
In 1998, it is predicted that there will be
demand for over 16,700 jetliners of more than 70 seats
to satisfy an average traffic growth of 5 percent per
annum and replace some 8,500 aging aircraft.
Passenger traffic growth has been predicted at 4.9%
annually over the next 20 years. To meet this growth,
airlines are expected to add over 17,500 aircraft
worth more than $1.1 trillion to the existing fleets.
Approximately half of new aircraft deliveries are
expected to be wide body, long-haul aircraft that the
Company believes may represent a market for the
ASI-9000 Program.
Due to the high levels of capacity the
airlines are experiencing, many airlines opt to invest
capital in purchasing new aircraft rather than
upgrading existing airplanes. The current industry
trend in allocating capital primarily to acquiring new
aircraft should not affect the Company because the
installation of the Company's product requires little
or no capital outlay from the airline. The Company
installs its systems at nominal cost to the airline
with the goal of acquiring revenues from the sale of
advertising space.
PLAN OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
The Company is a development stage company
formed to offer to commercial airlines its ASI-9000
Program which provides system integration, airline
efficiencies, crew and passenger communications,
passenger information and entertainment, and
value-added services tailored to its respective airline
customers' requests.
The Company has a very low cost structure as it
has no employees other than its two officers which are
paid a monthly retainer and does not maintain any
manufacturing or production operations. The Company
utilizes office space, without charge, from a company
beneficially owned by its President, Ronald Chapman.
The Company pays commissions to media sales
representatives only from revenues received from the
contracts which they place. Because of such low cost
structure, the Company anticipates that the proceeds
from earlier stock subscriptions, revenues from any
exercise of the Options, anticipated revenues from
operations, and proceeds available from its suppliers
will be sufficient to meet the Company's contemplated
operating and capital requirements for approximately 12
months following the Effective Date.
RESULTS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company has suffered losses from
operations. The Company had accumulated losses of
$722,333 at March 31, 1999. The Company may be required to make
significant additional expenditures in connection with
the development of the ASI-9000 and its marketing. The
Company's ability to continue its operations is
dependent upon its receiving funds through its
anticipated sources of financing including exercise of
the Options, revenues from operations, and proceeds
available from its suppliers. However, the Company may
be required to raise additional capital through debt or
equity financing.
The Company's ASI-9000 Program evolved from
seven years of development. The CMA-3200 was
originally installed by ASIT Australia and Canadian
Marconi Company ("CMC") on Hawaiian Airlines as part of
a start up plan with the goal of testing the product's
commercial viability. The test program was carried out
in conjunction with CMC and Hollingsead International,
Inc., a manufacturer of after market video systems.
ASIT Australia mounted its software on CMC's CMA-3200
multi media computer equipment which was installed
together with Hollingsead's video equipment on three
Hawaiian aircraft.
ASIT Australia equipped three aircraft operated
by Hawaiian Airlines at a cost of $180,000 per aircraft
but was unable to equip the remaining ten aircraft as
ASIT Australia was unable to finance the purchase and
installation price of $50,000 per aircraft of the video
equipment charged by Hollingsead International, Inc.
ASIT Australia had secured 14 advertisers for the video
program based on air time on all 13 aircraft . Because
the ASIT Australia was unable to equip all 13 aircraft
with the video system, it was unable to receive funds
from the advertisers for air time on just three
aircraft. ASIT Australia had intended the Hawaiian
Airlines project to be a test program of its
"infotainment" program, to prove its feasibility and to
showcase its potential to advertisers. The Company is
not currently involved in the installation of any of
its equipment on Hawaiian Airlines.
The Company acquired the CMA-3200 from ASIT
Australia for an aggregate of A$527,980 and installed
nine CMA-3200 units on aircraft operated by Air Europa.
From July 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997 (the first six
months of operations), the Company has received
approximately $30,000 in revenues generated from the
equipment on the Air Europa aircraft. The Company has
obtained five major advertisers for air time on the Air
Europa system.
While the Company intends to provide the
ASI-9000 Program utilizing the ACAMS II for its future
contracts, the Company's present contracts have been
filled by mounting the software on the CMA-3200
manufactured by CMC. The Company does not currently
have any additional contracts for the installation of
the ASI-9000.
The Company intends to use future revenues, if
any, for the purchase of ASI-9000 Program units to be
installed on its current and future customer airlines
and for capital expenditures and working capital for
its proposed operations, and certain fees, costs and
expenses associated with this offering.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND
THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
The Company made no sales and received no revenues
for the three month period ending March 31, 1999 compared
to revenues of $7,189 for the three month period ending
March 31, 1998 pending reinstallation of the Company's
equipment in new Air Europa aircraft.
Net losses decreased from $107,825 in the three month
period ending March 31, 1998, to $72,465 for the three month
period ending March 31, 1999, primarily as a result of a
decrease in expenses and cost of sales.
Expenses decreased from $111,420 for the three month period
ending March 31, 1998 to $72,465 for the three month period
ending March 31, 1999 primarily due to a reduction in travel
and offering costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has used the proceeds from the sale
of the securities of ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. (prior
to becoming a subsidiary) for payment of operating
costs to date. The Company has received approximately
$45,000 in revenues from its Air Europa contract over
the past fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. The Company
has entered into a license fee arrangement with Air
Europa of $3,625 per calendar month for each ASI-9000
Program installed on its aircraft from the advertising
revenues received from that system. If insufficient
advertising funds are received to cover the license fee
the Company absorbs the shortfall. Air Europe
receives any amounts over the $3,625 license fee (after
deduction of any direct costs, including payment of
commissions, if any, to any media sales
representatives). The Company anticipates such
revenues to increase as the Company expands the
development of its available operations including
additional ground communication and other services. During
the period from January 1, 1999 to March 31, 1999, Air
Europa was transferring the Company's equipment to different
aircraft and no revenues were received. The Company anticipates
revenues to recommence on completion of such reinstallation.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents was reduced from
$48,832 for the three month period ending March 31, 1998 to
$1,673 for the three month period ending March 31, 1999 primarily
as a result of a reduction in capital subscriptions and an
advance from an affiliate.
The Company had a net loss of $72,465 (unaudited) from
operating activities for the period January 1, 1999 to March 31,
1999 primarily consisting of compensation to officers, depreciation
and amortization. The net loss from operating activities for
such period was less than the net loss from operating activities
for the period January 1, 1998 to March 31, 1998 primarily as
a result in a reduction of offering costs and travel. The
Company had no revenues for the three months ending March 31,
1999 as the revenue generated from the Air Europa contract was
suspended while the ASI-9000 Programs were reinstalled on
different Air Europa aircraft.
The cash flow of the Company from financing activities
for the three months ending March 31, 1999 was from
the receipt of outstanding capital subscription and an advance
from an affiliate.
The Company had no cash flow from investing activities for
the period January 1, 1999 to March 31, 1999.
The Company's marketing plan anticipates that the Company will
install and maintain the ASI-9000 on commercial airlines with little
or no cost to the airline. The Company will receive revenues from the
sale of the advertising space available on the video
and audio programs as well as other forms as developed.
This marketing plan requires significant initial
capital from the Company for the production,
acquisition, installation and maintenance of the
ASI-9000 Program possibly before any revenues are
received from the sale of the advertising space. The
Company may not have sufficient funds to purchase or
install the equipment in which case the Company will
have to seek additional capital. The Company may raise
additional capital by the sale of its equity
securities, through an offering of debt securities, or
from borrowing from a financial institution. The
Company does not have a policy on the amount of
borrowing or debt that the Company can incur. The
Company may also attempt to negotiate with vendors or
customer airlines revenue sharing arrangements by which
the Company will share the advertising revenue if the
vendor or customer airline provide capital for the
equipment.
The Company purchases from ASIT Australia
either the CMA-3200 hardware at $25,000 per unit or the
ACAMS II hardware at $30,000 per unit. The Company
subcontracts for the production of the ASI-9000
integration technology. The cost to the Company for
installation of the ASI-9000 excluding the hardware is
approximately $5,000 per aircraft on for a installation
unit like those installed on the Air Europa aircraft
per unit and up to $10,000 where the communications
link is involved.
The Company has no commitments for capital
expenditures in the near future. The Company purchases
or subcontracts (on an per item basis) for the ASI-9000
and installation integration technology. The Company
will need to pay the expenses of the installation of
the ASI-9000. When the Company enters into contracts
for the ASI-9000 it will contract with ASIT Australia
for purchase of the equipment and then contract for the
integration technology.
GOING CONCERN QUESTION
The financial statements appearing elsewhere in this
prospectus have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. As such, they do not include
adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts
and classification of recorded assets and liabilities. On July 1,
1998, the Company acquired 100% of ASI Entertainment Pty Ltd.,
("ASIE") an Australian corporation. ASIE has accumulated losses
of approximately $722,000 at March 31, 1999 and will be required
to make significant expenditures in connection with continuing
engineering and marketing efforts along with general and administrative
expenses. The Company's ability to continue its operations is
dependent upon its raising of capital through debt or equity
financing in order to meet its working needs.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern subsequent to the acquisition,
and if substantial additional funding is not acquired or alternative
sources developed, management will be required to curtail its
operations.
The Company may raise additional capital by the sale of its
equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or from
borrowing from a financial institution. The Company does not have
a policy on the amount of borrowing or debt that the Company can
incur. The Company may also attempt to negotiate with vendors
or customers, airline revenue sharing arrangements by which the
Company will share the advertising revenue if the vendor or
customer airline provides capital for the equipment. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional
funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a
going concern.

INTERRELATIONSHIP OF ASI COMPANIES AND POSSIBLE
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The Company purchases, and plans on purchasing
in the future, the components for the ASI-9000 Program
from ASIT Australia and subcontracts the technical
support services, including support for the ASI-9000
Program software, development, video compressions and
programming, to ASIT Australia and other companies.
The Company has used and may use in the future the
consulting services of Chappell Salikin Weil Associates
Pty. Ltd. and Shiels & Co.
There are no written agreements between the
Company and either of Chappell Salikin Weil Associates
Pty. Ltd. or Shiels & Co., but it is likely that the
Company will use the services of these companies.
Chappell Salikin Weil Associates Pty. Ltd. is a
private aviation trading and aerospace, technology and
defense industries consultancy company. Mr. Graham O.
Chappell is a director of the Company. Shiels & Co. is
a private consulting practice providing management and
corporate advisory services owned by Philip A. Shiels.

Chapman International Pty. Ltd. has received
payment of fees from ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd on
behalf of Ronald Chapman and Philip Shiels in their
capacities as President and Vice President/Chief
Financial Officer, respectively. Chapman International
Pty. Ltd. is expected to provide the management
services of Messrs. Chapman and Shiels to the Company
in the future. There are no written agreements between
the Company or its subsidiary and Chapman International
Pty. Ltd. There is an understanding, however, that
Chapman International Pty. Ltd. will provide management
services for the Company. Chapman International Pty.
Ltd. has no legal recourse to enforce any understanding

the Company could determine to use alternate sources
for management and marketing services.

the provision of services. The directors of the
Company devote such time to the business and affairs of
the Company as they deem required but each such
director has other duties and responsibilities with
ASIT Australia that may conflict with the time which
might otherwise be devoted to the duties with the
Company.

AGENTS
The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of
the Company provide that the Company shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as amended
from time to time, indemnify all directors of the
Company, as well as any officers or employees of the
Company to whom the Company has agreed to grant
indemnification.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law ("DGCL") empowers a corporation to indemnify its
directors and officers and to purchase insurance with
respect to liability arising out of their capacity or
status as directors and officers provided that this
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of
a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) arising under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides
further that the indemnification permitted thereunder
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the directors and officers may be entitled under
the corporation's by-laws, any agreement, vote of
shareholders or otherwise.
The effect of the foregoing is to require the
Company to indemnify the officers and directors of the
Company for any claim arising against such persons in
their official capacities if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.
INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, MAY BE
PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING
THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, IT IS
THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AS
EXPRESSED IN THE ACT AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company has authorized capital of
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value,
and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par
value. As of the date hereof, the Company has
5,754,337 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
SHARES OF COMMONS STOCK
The Company is not offering any shares of
Common Stock in this registration statement. The 36
Selling Shareholders of the Company are registering an
aggregate of 3,516,825 shares of Common Stock for sale
at price to be determined in the future. The Company's
Common Stock is considered "penny stock" as that term
is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Special sales practice requirements apply to
broker-dealers on sales of penny stocks. The sales of
the Company's Common Stock will be subject to such
special rules.
Holders of the Common Stock do not have
preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of
Common Stock or other subscription rights. The Common
Stock carries no conversion rights and is not subject
to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All
shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in
dividends from sources legally available therefor when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors and, upon
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in the
assets of the Company available for distribution to
stockholders. All outstanding shares are validly
authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
and all shares to be sold and issued as contemplated
hereby will be validly authorized and issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
The Board of Directors is authorized to issue
additional shares of Common Stock, not to exceed the
amount authorized by the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, and to issue options for the purchase of
such shares, on such terms and conditions and for such
consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without
further stockholder action.
PENNY STOCK REGULATION
Penny stocks generally are equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00 per share other than
securities registered on certain national securities
exchanges or listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market,
provided that current price and volume information with
respect to transactions in such securities is provided
by the exchange or system. The "penny stock" rules
impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons
other than established customers and accredited
investors (generally those with assets in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or
$300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions
covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability determination for the purchase of
such securities and have received the purchaser's
written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving
a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the
delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure
schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the
penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must
disclose the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative and
current quotations for the securities. Finally,
monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the
ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's
securities. The foregoing required penny stock
restrictions will not apply to the Company's securities
if such securities reach and maintain a market price of
$5.00 or greater.
NONCUMULATIVE VOTING
Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one
vote per share on all matters on which such
stockholders are entitled to vote. Shares of Common
Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. The
holders of more than 50 percent of the shares voting
for the election of directors can elect all the
directors if they choose to do so and, in such event,
the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to
elect any person to the Board of Directors.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation
authorize the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value per share. There has
been no preferred stock designated and issued. The
designation of such issued Preferred Stock provides
that each such share of Preferred Stock will have one
vote on all matters on which shareholders are entitled
to vote.
In the case of the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive the liquidation preference before any payment
or distribution is made to the holders of Common Stock
or any other series or class of the Company's stock
hereafter issued that ranks junior as to liquidation
rights to the Preferred Stock, but holders of the
shares of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to
receive the liquidation preference of such shares until
the liquidation preference of any other series or class
of the Company's stock hereafter issued that ranks
senior as to liquidation rights to the Preferred Stock
("senior liquidation stock") has been paid in full.
The holders of Preferred Stock and all series or
classes of the Company's stock hereafter issued that
rank on a parity as to liquidation rights with the
Preferred Stock are entitled to share ratable, in
accordance with the respective preferential amounts
payable on such stock, in any distribution (after
payment of the liquidation preference of the senior
liquidation stock) which is not sufficient to pay in
full the aggregate of the amounts payable thereon.
After payment in full of the liquidation preference of
the shares of the Preferred Stock, the holders of such
shares will not be entitled to any further
participation in any distribution of assets by the
Company. Neither a consolidation or merger of the
Company with another corporation, nor a sale or
transfer of all or part of the Company's assets for
cash, securities or other property will be considered a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
The Board of Directors is authorized to provide
for the issuance of additional shares of Preferred
Stock in series and, by filing a certificate pursuant
to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to
establish from time to time the number of shares to be
included in each such series, and to fix the
designation, powers, preferences and rights of the
shares of each such series and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof without any further
vote or action by the shareholders. Any shares of
Preferred Stock so issued would have priority over the
Common Stock with respect to dividend or liquidation
rights. Any future issuance of Preferred Stock may
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of the Company without further action
by the shareholders and may adversely affect the voting
and other rights of the holders of Common Stock. At
present, the Company has no plans to issue any
Preferred Stock nor adopt any series, preferences or
other classification of Preferred Stock.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DESCRIBING STOCK
The above descriptions concerning the stock of
the Company do not purport to be complete. Reference
is made to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
and By-Laws which are included as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a
part and which are available for inspection at the
Company's offices. Reference is also made to the
applicable statutes of the State of Delaware for a more
complete description concerning rights and liabilities
of shareholders.
OPTIONS
The following is a summary of certain
provisions of the Options, but such summary does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in all respects
by reference to the Option Agreement filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part. The Company has issued
options for the purchase of 4,927,173 (of which 2,327,161
are registered herein) shares of the Company's common stock.
The Options registered herein may be separately
transferred immediately upon the Effective Date.
All shares of Common Stock to be issued and
allotted pursuant to the exercise of the Options shall
rank pari passu in all respects with the existing
issued Common Stock of the Company. The Options may be
transferred at any time commencing on the Effective
Date hereof and prior to the expiration date of such
Option. The Options may be exercised at any time
commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on June
30, 2000 at an exercise price of $0.50 per Share. The
Options shall be exercisable wholly or in part (in
multiples of 1,000 Options or as close thereto as is
possible) by notice in writing to the Company given at
any time prior to or on the expiration date and shall
be accompanied by the purchase price (the "application
monies") for the exercised Shares. Prior to exercise
thereof, there are no participating rights or
entitlements inherent in the Options to participate in
any new issue or bonus issue of securities which may be
offered to members of the Company from time to time
prior to the expiration date.
Option holders have the right to exercise their
Options prior to the record date set by the Board of
Director for determining entitlements to any capital
issue to the then existing members of the Company made
during the currency of the Options. In this regard,
Option holders shall be afforded the period of at least
14 days prior to, and inclusive of, the record date and
record book closing date (to determine entitlements to
the issue), to exercise their Options. In the event of
any reconstruction (including consolidation,
sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued
capital of the Company, the number of Options or the
exercise price of the Options or both shall be
reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner which will
not result in any benefits being conferred on Option
holders which are not conferred on shareholders, but
(subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of
entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of members
approving the reconstruction of capital) in all other
respects the terms for the exercise of the Options
shall remain unchanged.
The Company reserves the right to vary, amend,
alter and/or add to the terms and conditions attached
to the Options (the "changes") if the requirements of a
stock exchange on which the Company's shares are
granted official quotation, or, on which the Company
wishes to have its shares granted official quotation,
make it necessary for the changes to be made provided
that no changes may be made by the Company to the
exercise price of 50 cents per Option or the expiry
date of June 30, 2000 save as may be necessary by
reason of the operation of any requirements of a stock
exchange.
ADMISSION TO QUOTATION TO NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET AND
NASD OTC BULLETIN BOARD
If the Company meets the qualifications, the
Company intends to apply for quotation of its
Securities on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board. Until the
Company meets such qualifications, its Securities will
be quoted in the daily quotation sheets of the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc., commonly known as the "pink
sheets". If the Company's Securities are not quoted
on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, a securityholder may
find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain
accurate quotations as to the market value of, the
Company's Securities. The over-the-counter market
("OTC") differs from national and regional stock
exchanges in that it (1) is not cited in a single
location but operates through communication of bids,
offers and confirmations between broker-dealers and (2)
securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or
more broker-dealers rather than the "specialist" common
to stock exchanges. To qualify for quotation on the
NASD OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have
one registered broker-dealer, known as the market
maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to
sponsor such a Company listing. If it meets the
qualifications for trading securities on the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board the Company's Securities will trade on
the NASD OTC Bulletin Board until such future time, if
at all, that the Company applies and qualifies for
admission for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
There can be no assurance that the Company will qualify
or if qualified that it will be accepted for listing
of its securities on the NASD SmallCap Market.
To qualify for admission for listing on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, an equity security must, in
relevant summary, (1) be registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (2) have at least
three registered and active market makers, one of which
may be a market maker entering a stabilizing bid; (3)
for initial inclusion, be issued by a company with
$4,000,000 in net tangible assets, or $50,000,0000 in
market capitalization, or $750,000 in net income in two
of the last three years (if operating history is less
than one year then market capitalization must be at
least $50,000,000); (4) have at a public float of at
least 1,000,000 shares with a value of at least
$5,000,000; (5) have a minimum bid price of $4.00 per
share; and (6) have at least 300 beneficial
shareholders.
TRADING OF SHARES
There are no outstanding options, options to
purchase, or securities convertible into, the shares of
the Company which are not being registered hereby. The
Company has not agreed with any shareholders, to
register their shares for sale, other than for this
registration. The Company does not have any other
public offerings in process or proposed.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New
York, New York, serves as the transfer agent for the
Company.
REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Company will furnish to holders of the
Shares annual reports containing audited financial
statements examined and reported upon, and with an
opinion expressed by, an independent certified public
accountant. The Company may issue other unaudited
interim reports to its shareholders as it deems
appropriate.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company will receive proceeds from the
exercise, if any, of the Options including those not
registered herein, aggregating a maximum
of $2,432,336 if all such Options are exercised. The
Company will not receive the proceeds from the sale of
the Securities by the Selling Securityholders pursuant
to this Prospectus.
The Selling Securityholders' Securities may be
sold to purchasers from time to time directly by and
subject to the discretion of the Selling
Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may from
time to time offer the Securities for sale through
underwriters, dealers or agents, who may receive
compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions or commissions from the Selling
Securityholders and/or the purchasers of the Securities
for whom they may act as agents. The securities sold
by the Selling Securityholders may be sold from time to
time in one or more transactions: (i) at an offering
price that is fixed or that may vary from transaction
to transaction depending upon the time of sale or (ii)
at prices otherwise negotiated at the time of sale.
Such prices will be determined by the Selling
Securityholders or by agreement between the Selling
Securityholders and any underwriters.
Any underwriters, dealers or agents who
participate in the distribution of the securities may
be deemed to be "underwriters" under the Securities Act
and any discounts, commissions or concessions received
by any such underwriters, dealers or agents may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer is made by or on
the behalf of the Selling Securityholders, a
Prospectus, including any necessary supplement thereto,
will be distributed which will set forth the number of
shares of Common Stock and other securities being
offered and the terms of the offering, including the
name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents,
the purchase price paid by any underwriter for the
Securities purchased from the Selling Securityholders,
any discounts, commissions and other items constituting
compensation from the Selling Securityholders, any
discounts, commissions or concessions allowed,
reallowed or paid to dealers, and the proposed selling
price to the public.
Pursuant to Regulation M of the General Rules
and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any person engaged in a distribution of
securities, including on behalf of a selling security
holder, may not simultaneously bid for, purchase or
attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase
securities of the same class for a period of five
business days prior to the commencement of such
distribution and continuing until the selling security
holder (or other person engaged in the distribution) is
no longer a participant in the distribution.
If, at some time, the Company meets the
requirements of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market it will
apply for listing thereon. If is should be accepted
for listing thereon, then certain underwriters may
engage in passive market making transactions in the
Company's Common Stock in accordance with Rule 103 of

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of:
ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of ASI Entertainment Pty., Ltd. and Subsidiary
(a development stage company) as of June 30, 1998 and
1997, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the years then ended and for the period from
December 15, 1993 (Inception) to June 30, 1998. These
consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall consolidated financial
statements presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of ASI Entertainment
Pty. Ltd. and Subsidiary (a development stage company)
as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations, and cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles used in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a
going concern. As discussed in Note 11, the Company has
accumulated losses of $473,779 at June 30, 1998 and
anticipates recurring losses in connection with
continuing engineering, marketing, and general and
administrative expenses. Realization of certain assets
is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its
future financing requirements, and the success of
future operations. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern unless the Company is able to raise the
necessary financing. Management's plans in regard to
these matters are also described in Note 11. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ASI ENTERTAINMENT PTY. LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
A. Organization
ASI Entertainment Pty., Ltd. (the "Company"), is an Australian
company incorporated in December 1993 under the corporation laws
of Victoria, and limited by shares as defined under such
corporation laws. The Company provides in-flight video and audio
entertainment and data communications to the commercial airline
industry. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ASI Media Pty.,
Ltd. ("ASI Media") is an inactive corporation whose sole purpose
is to act as trustee to the ASI Media Unit Trust (the "Unit
Trust") (See Note 4).
The Company is operating as a development stage company and
intends to generate revenues primarily from selling advertising
time on its ASI-9000 Program to be installed on commercial
aircraft (See Note 2 - Operations).
B. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements includes the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned inactive subsidiary,
ASI Media Pty., Ltd. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
C. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The basis of accounting differs from that used in the Australian
statutory financial statements of the Company. Adjustments are
made to translate the statutory financial statements to United
States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The financial
statements are expressed in United States dollars. The functional
currency of the Company is the Australian dollar.
D. Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues

and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
E. Revenue Recognition
Revenue during 1998 is derived from media sales relating to
equipment installed under one contract with a commercial airline
(See Note 8). Revenue from this contract is recognized on an
accrual basis as earned under the contract terms.
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
G. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of 5
years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized.
H. Investment in Media Rights
The investment in Media Rights is accounted for at cost, less
accumulated amortization (See Note 4).
I. Ordinary Share Options
The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its ordinary share options.
J. Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the
Australian dollar. Financial statements for these entities are
translated into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates
as to assets and liabilities and weighted average exchange rates
as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at
their historical exchange rates when the shares were issued. The
resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Shareholders'
Equity.
K. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for

ASI ENTERTAINMENT PTY. LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 1998

Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 is an asset and liability
approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements
or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS 109
generally considers all expected future events other than
enactments of changes in the law or rates. There was no current
income tax expense or benefit for the year ended June 30, 1997
since the Company did not commence operations until July 1, 1997
(See Note 2).
At June 30, 1998 , the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $474,000 which expires under
Australian tax law in the year 2005. The deferred tax asset
created by this net operating loss has been fully offset by a
valuation allowance.
L. Per Share Data
Net loss per common share for the year ended June 30, 1998 is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common
shares outstanding during the year as defined by Financial
Accounting Standards, No. 128, "Earnings per Share". The assumed
exercise of common share equivalents was not utilized since the
effect was anti-dilutive.
M. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosures
of information about the fair value of certain financial
instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.
For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial
instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other
than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments,
including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates
fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for
these instruments.
N. New Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued
several new accounting pronouncements. Statement

No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" establishes
standards for the way that public business enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports
issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and
major customers, and is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company believes
that its future adoption of these statements will not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
NOTE 2 - OPERATIONS
The Company was dormant from December 1993 (inception) until
January 1996, at which time it began to acquire assets and issue
stock. The Company commenced operations on July 1, 1997 and did
not have operating revenues or expenses prior to that date.
NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
On December 16, 1996, the Company purchased from ASI Technologies
Pty., Ltd. ("ASIT"), a related party, but not a shareholder at
that time (See Notes 5 and 9), nine Airline Cabin Management and
Communication Systems ("ACAMS"), a component of the ASI-9000
Program, for a price of $324,972 (as translated at June 30, 1998)
($394,243 as translated at June 30, 1997) through the issuance of
5,279,800 ordinary shares of the Company. On September 30, 1997,
the Company purchased additional ACAMS systems and other equipment
from ASIT for a price of $923,250 (as translated at June 30, 1998)
through the issuance of 15,000,000 ordinary shares and 15,000,000
options to purchase ordinary shares. The price of both purchases
represents ASIT's original cost basis in such systems.
The following is a summary of property and equipment at June 30,
1998 and 1997:

on September 30, 1997 has not yet been depreciated since it was
not yet placed in service. Placement of this equipment is
contingent upon future contracts or orders from commercial airlines.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
As discussed in Notes 5 and 6, on January 9, 1996, the Company
acquired from ASIT a 40% shareholder interest in ASI Media at a
cost of $30 and a 40% beneficiary interest in the Unit Trust,
which was in substance, an intangible asset, (see below) at a cost
of $149,340. On February 14, 1996, the Company acquired the
remaining 60% of ASI Media for $45 thereby making it a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. The total investment of $75 in
ASI Media is eliminated in consolidation.
As of June 30, 1997, ASI Media, under a February 21, 1996 Media
Agreement with the Company, held sole rights to market, sell and
receive revenues from the sale of advertising and sponsorship
related to the ASI-9000 Program installed on commercial aircraft.
Under the Deed of the Unit Trust all revenues generated from ASI
Media, the trustee, is distributed to the Unit Trust for
distribution to the beneficiaries. Effective October 9, 1997,
3,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company's capital were exchanged
for all rights, title and interest in the Media Agreement. The
substance of this transaction is to allow the Company to receive
100% of all future revenues generated from advertising and
sponsorship sales. On the transaction date of October 9, 1997 the
Company recorded as an intangible asset an Investment in Media
Rights of $224,010, and transferred the $149,340 investment in the
Unit Trust to Investment in Media Rights.
The Investment in Media Rights will be amortized over a period of
5 years beginning October 9, 1997 using the straight-line method.
Amortization expense for the year ended June 30, 1998 was $49,473.

NOTE 5 - ORDINARY SHARE CAPITAL
The Company was capitalized in December 1993 with 12 ordinary
shares of capital issued to ASIT, and in January 1996 with 108
additional ordinary shares issued to ASIT.
On January 9, 1996, the Company issued 12,000,000 ordinary shares
of capital to ASIT, its parent at that time, (See Note 9) in
exchange for a 40% interest in ASI Media, 40% beneficiary
interest in the Unit Trust, a value added reseller agreement for
ACAMS, and intellectual property of the ASI-9000 Program (See Note
6).
On January 23, 1996, ASIT, the Company's parent, in lieu of
payment transferred its 12,000,120 ordinary shares of the Company
(representing 100% of the shares then held by it) to various
companies to whom ASIT was indebted that are controlled by certain
directors of the Company.
On January 30, 1996, the Company issued 325,000 ordinary shares to
a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and 175,000
shares to various employees of the Company.
On December 16, 1996 the Company issued 5,279,800 ordinary shares
to ASIT in exchange for nine ACAMS systems (See Note 3), making
ASIT a 29.7% shareholder of the Company as of that date.
On September 30, 1997, the Company issued 15,000,000 ordinary
shares and 15,000,000 options to purchase ordinary shares of the
Company in exchange for certain ACAMS Systems and other equipment
purchased from ASIT. Concurrent with the agreement to acquire the
aforementioned equipment, ASIT assigned its ownership of the
15,000,000 shares and options to various entities to whom ASIT was
indebtned to.
Effective October 9, 1997, 3,000,000 ordinary shares of the
Company's capital were exchanged for all rights, title and
interest in the Media Agreement which was recorded on the
acquisition date at $224,010 (See Note 4).
Between September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1998 the Company issued
6,572,000 to various investors for cash.
NOTE 6 - ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL - DISCOUNT ON SHARES
On January 9, 1996, the Company acquired from ASIT, its parent at
that time (See Notes 5 and 9), a 40% beneficiary interest in
ASI Media Unit Trust, a 40%

shareholder interest in ASI Media Pty. Ltd., an exclusive value
added reseller agreement with ASIT for ACAMS Cabin Management
and Communications Systems, a teaming agreement between
ASIT and Canadian Marconi Corporation dated February 14, 1995, and
the intellectual property of the ASI-9000 Program for a total
purchase price of $894,600 as translated to United States Dollars
on the transaction date. Payment was made by issuing 12,000,000
ordinary shares of the Company to ASIT. The teaming agreement
was subsequently terminated and a portion of the purchase price
at the transaction date in the amount of $149,100 ($149,340 as
translated at the year-end rate) was allocated to the investment
in the Unit Trust and $30 to the investment in ASI Media. At the
purchase date of January 9, 1996, the technological feasibility
of the ASI-9000 Program had not yet been established and the
technology had no alternative future use. Consequently, all
research and development costs had been expensed by ASIT leaving a
zero historical cost basis as defined under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The excess of the par value of the
shares issued by the Company over the original cost basis of ASIT
represents the remaining $745,470 of the purchase price. This
amount is considered a distribution of equity to ASIT since they
had no cost basis in the intellectual property of the ASI-9000
Program and the value added reseller agreement. Accordingly, the
$745,470 was recorded as Additional Paid-In Capital-discount on
shares.
NOTE 7 - SHARE OPTIONS
On January 30, 1996, the Company issued 4,000,000 options to
acquire ordinary shares to certain officers and directors of the
Company. The options are exercisable prior to December 31, 1998
at par value. All options remained unexercised at June 30, 1998.
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations
in accounting for ordinary share options. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for options issued as of
June 30, 1998. Had compensation cost for the Company's issued
ordinary share options been determined based on the fair value at
the grant date consistent with SFAS No.123, Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation, the Company's approximate pro-forma net income
for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 would have been as
follows:

Net income (loss) as reported $ (473,779) $ -
Pro-forma net income (loss) $ (473,779) $ -
The options granted in January 1996 were granted at an exercise
price equal to fair market value of the ordinary shares at the
time of grant, vested immediately, and expire at December 31,
1998. Since the options vested in 1996 there was no pro-forma
effect of applying SFAS No. 123 for 1997 and 1998. The fair value
of the ordinary share option grant was estimated on the grant date
using an options pricing model for non-public entities where the
following assumptions were used: exercise price of par value;
risk-free interest rate of 5%; expected life of 3 years;
The effect of applying SFAS No.123 is not likely to be
representative of the effects on reported net income (loss) for
future years.
In 1998 and 1997, 28,572,020 and 6,500,100 options were issued,
respectively, for consideration by the option holders. The
unexercised options under these non-compensatory option issuances
at June 30, 1998 and 1997 were 35,072,120 and 6,500,100,
respectively. These options are exercisable at par value through
June 30, 2000 (See Note 9).
NOTE 8 - OPERATING AGREEMENTS
On December 13, 1995, the Company entered into a Supply and
License Agreement (the "Agreement") with an airline to supply,
license and install ASI-9000 Programs ("System") on the airline's
commercial aircraft. Under the terms of the Agreement, the
license term for each system will run for five years from the date
of diagnostic test completion (after installation) with an option
to renew. The hardware component of the System will become the
property of the airline at the expiry of the initial license term.
The Company will receive a maximum monthly license fee derived
from advertising revenues of $3,625 for each System, and a monthly
maintenance fee of $1,875 also derived from advertising revenues
under a separate maintenance support agreement. All advertising
and sponsor revenues after deduction of the license fee and direct
costs will be paid to the airline. The initial order under the
Agreement is for nine systems and an additional fourteen Systems

to the airline approval of the license fee. (See Note 11) The
first nine systems were installed and approved by the airline
during 1996. As of June 30, 1997 no revenes had been generated.
The airline has the option to order additional systems under the
Agreement. The Company anticipates that agreements with future
customers will not include a set monthly licensing fee but will
provide that the Company retain the revenues generated from
advertisers and sponsors from which they will pay sales
commissions and expenses.
On January 9, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with
ASIT, its parent at that time, (See Notes 5 and 9) whereby it
acquired the sole right to purchase ACAMS terminals from ASIT for
use in the ASI-9000 Program at a fixed price per terminal as
stipulated in the agreement or such lesser price as mutually
agreed upon from time to time in line with commercially
competitive prices from alternative suppliers. Under terms of the
agreement, ASIT may purchase hardware of a similar nature from
alternative suppliers if the price is lower than that stipulated
in the contract. Additionally, under the agreement ASIT has agreed
to provide technical support at commercially competitive rates.
The agreement is effective for 5 years with an option to renew on
the same terms and conditions.
NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At June 30, 1998 and 1997, ASIT was a 12.5% and 29.7%, respective
shareholder of the Company (See Note 5). As discussed in Note 8
above, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase ACAMS
systems from ASIT. In addition, as discussed in Note 3, 5 and 6
the Company purchased certain assets from ASIT during fiscal 1998
and 1997 through the issuance of ordinary shares.
Certain directors of the Company are also directors of ASIT.
During 1998 the Company paid management fees of $8,208 to a
company affiliated through common shareholders and directors. The
management fee covers office rent and certain utilities and office
expenses of shared offices. In addition, during 1998, the Company
reimbursed the same affiliate $27,497 in travel expenses which is
included in travel expenses in the Statement of Operations.
On September 30, 1997, in connection with an equipment purchase
from a related party (See Note 5) the Company

are immediately exercisable wholly or in part in multiples of
100,000 options at the par value of the ordinary shares and expire
on June 30, 2000.
During 1998 the Company advanced $15,311 to its affiliate as of
July 1, 1998, ASI Entertainment, Inc. (See Note 12)
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming
code in existing computer systems as the millennium (Year 2000)
approaches. The "Year 2000" problem is pervasive and complex as
virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way
by the rollover of the two-digit year value to 00. The issue is
whether computer systems will properly recognize date- sensitive
information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not
properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data
or cause a system to fail.
The Company uses a standard off the shelf accounting software
package for all of its accounting requirements. Management has
contacted the software vendor and determined that the accounting
software is Year 2000 compliant. All internal management software
is Microsoft based and management continually monitors the Year
2000 status of such software. Management has verified Year 2000
status with its primary vendors and has not identified any Year
2000 issues with those vendors. The Company's customers have
not yet been contacted with regard to Year 2000 compliance issues,
however, management believes that any customer Year 2000
problems that would result in non-payment would result in the
termination of the Company's relationship with that customer and
the replacement with new customers. Costs of investigating
internal and external Year 2000 compliance issues have not been
material to date. As a result, management believes that the
effect of investigating and resolving Year 2000 compliance issues
on the Company will not have a material effect on the Company's
future financial position or results of operations.
In addition to the effect of Year 2000 issues on the Company's
accounting and management systems, Year 2000 issues may effect
the Company's products as the products are primarily computerized
systems. The Company's products have been tested and validated
in line with the supporting documentation from the Company's
vendors. All products were deemed to be Year 2000 compliant.
The costs of such testing and validating were minimal and
absorbed as part of the Company's normal quality control
procedures.
NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As such, they
do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of
recorded asset amounts and classification of recorded assets and
liabilities. The Company has accumulated losses of $473,779 at
June 30, 1998 and will be required to make significant
expenditures in connection with continuing engineering and
marketing efforts along with general and administrative expenses.
The Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon
its raising of capital through debt or equity financing in order
to meet its working capital needs.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern, and if
17

NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN - (CONT'D)
substantial additional funding is not acquired or alternative
sources developed, management will be required to curtail its
operations.
The Company may raise additional capital by the sale of its equity
securities, through an offering of debt securities, or by
borrowing from a financial institution. The Company does not have
a policy on the amount of borrowing or debt that the Company can
incur. The Company may also attempt to negotiate with vendors or
customers, airline revenue sharing arrangements by which the
Company will share the advertising revenue if the vendor or
customer airline provide capital for the equipment. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional
funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a
going concern.
NOTE 12- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Merger with ASI Entertainment, Inc.
Under an agreement dated June 10, 1998, effective July 1, 1998,
ASI Entertainment, Inc., ("ASIEInc.") a new corporation formed on
April 29, 1998 under the laws of Delaware, acquired all of the
issued and outstanding ordinary shares of capital and ordinary
share options of the Company in exchange for common stock and
common stock options of ASIEInc. Under the terms of the
agreement, eight shares and eight options of the
the Company's shares and options were exchanged at a
ratio of one share and one option of ASIEInc for every eight
shares and eight options of the Company. As a result of the
exchange, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary became
wholly owned subsidiaries of ASIEInc, and the shareholders of the
Company became shareholders of approximately 92% of ASIEInc.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles used in the United States
require that the Company whose shareholders retain a majority
interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for
accounting purposes. As a result, the merger will be treated as
an acquisition of ASIEInc. by the Company, and a recapitalization
of the Company. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements
immediately following the acquisition will be as follows: (1) The
Balance Sheet will consist of the Company's net assets at
historical cost and ASIEInc.'s net assets at historical cost and
(2) the Statement of Operations will include the Company's
operations, for the period presented and ASIEInc.'s operations
from the date of acquisition.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the balance
sheet presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above present fairly in all
material respects, the financial position of ASI Entertainment, Inc. (a
development stage company) as of June 30, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the
Company acquired ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. on July 1, 1998. ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd. has accumulated losses of $473,779 at June 30, 1998
and anticipates recurring losses in connection with continuing engineering,
marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Realization of certain
assets is dependent upon ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd's ability to meet its
future financing requirements, and the success of future operations. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern subsequent to the acquisition unless the Company is able to
raise the necessary financing. Management's plans in regard to these matters
are described in Note 3 of the financial statements. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
AS OF JUNE 30, 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
A. Organization
ASI Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company"), is a development stage
company incorporated on April 29, 1998 under the corporation laws
of Delaware for the purpose of acquiring ASI Entertainment Pty.
Ltd. The Company had no operations through June 30, 1998.
ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. ("ASIE") (See Note 3) is a development
stage company incorporated in Australia in December 1993 under the
laws of Victoria, and limited by shares as defined under such
corporation laws. ASIE provides in-flight video and audio
entertainment and data communications to the commercial airline
industry. ASIE intends to generate revenues from selling
advertising time on its ASI-9000 Program to be installed on
commercial aircraft.
B. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial
Standards Board Statement of Financial Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Statement 109"). Under Statement
109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement
109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date. There was no current or deferred income tax
expense or benefit as of June 30, 1998, due to the Company's
limited operations.

Legal Counsel
The legal counsel to the Company as of June 30, 1998 is also a
majority shareholder
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As such, they
do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of
recorded asset amounts and classification of recorded assets and
liabilities. On July 1, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd., ("ASIE") an Australian Corporation. ASIE
has accumulated losses of $473,779 at June 30, 1998 and will be
required to make significant expenditures in connection with
continuing engineering and marketing efforts along with general
and administrative expenses. The Company's ability to continue its
operations is dependent upon its raising of capital through debt
or equity financing in order to meet its working needs.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern subsequent to the
acquisition, and if substantial additional funding is not acquired
or alternative sources developed, management will be required to
curtail its operations.
The Company may raise additional capital by the sale of its equity
securities, through an offering of debt securities, or from
borrowing from a financial institution. The Company does not have
a policy on the amount of borrowing or debt that the Company can
incur. The Company may also attempt to negotiate with vendors or
customers, airline revenue sharing arrangements by which the
Company will share the advertising revenue if the vendor or
customer airline provide capital for the equipment. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional
funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a
going concern.

Acquisition
Under an agreement dated June 10, 1998, effective July 1, 1998,
the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding ordinary
shares of capital and ordinary share options of ASIE in exchange
for common stock and common stock options of the Company. Under
the terms of the agreement, the ASIE's outstanding shares and
options were exchanged at a ratio of one share and one option of
the Company for every eight shares and eight options of ASIE. As
a result of the exchange, ASIE and its wholly owned inactive
subsidiary, ASI Media Pty. Ltd. became wholly owned subsidiaries
of the Company, and the shareholders of ASIE became shareholders
of approximately 92% of the Company. Generally accepted accounting
principles require that the Company whose shareholders retain a
majority interest in a combined business be treated as the
acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, the merger will be
treated as an acquisition of the Company by ASIE, and a
recapitalization of ASIE using the purchase method of accounting
for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Company's
financial statements immediately following the merger will be as
follows: (1) The balance sheet will consist of ASIE's net assets
at historical cost and the Company's net assets at historical cost
and (2) the statement of operations will include the ASIE's
operations for the period presented and the operations of the
Company from the date of acquisition.
Common Stock Offering by Selling Securityholders of ASI

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
AS OF MARCH 31, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of ASI Entertainment, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ASI
Technologies, Inc. and ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd., an Australian
corporation. ASI Media Pty. Ltd., an inactive wholly owned subsidiary of
the Australian corporation is also included. (All entities are collectively
referred to as "the Company").
Development Stage Company
The Company is operating as a development stage company and intends to
generate revenues primarily from selling advertising time on its ASI-9000
Program to be installed on commercial aircraft.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles used in the United States and with the rules and regulations of
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information
and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial
position and results of operations.
Adjustments are made to translate the statutory financial statements of the
Company's Australian subsidiaries to Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles used in the United States. The functional currency of the
Company's Australian subsidiary is the Australian dollar. The functional
currency of the United States entities is the United States dollar. The
unaudited consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States
dollars. It is management's opinion that all other material adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are
necessary for a fair consolidated financial statement presentation. The
results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the year.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes of ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. and ASI Entertainment, Inc. include
in the Company's Form SB-2 for the year ended June 30, 1998.
Per Share Data
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial
Accounting Standards, No. 128, "Earnings per Share". The assumed exercise
of common share equivalents was not utilized since the effect was
anti-dilutive.
ASI ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 2. MERGER
Under an agreement dated June 10, 1998, ASI Entertainment, Inc. ("ASIEInc.")
a new corporation formed on April 29, 1998 under the laws of Delaware,
acquired all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of capital and
ordinary share options of ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. in exchange for common
stock and common stock options of ASIEInc. Under the terms of the
agreement, ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd.'s shares and options were exchanged
at a ratio of one share and one option of ASIEInc. for every eight shares
and eight options of ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. As a result of the
exchange, ASI Entertainment Pty. Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary became
wholly owned subsidiaries of ASIEInc., and the shareholders of ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd. became shareholders of approximately 92% of ASIEInc.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles used in the United States require
that the Company whose shareholders retain a majority interest in a combined
business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result,
the merger will be treated as an acquisition of ASIEInc. By ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd., and a recapitalization of ASI Entertainment Pty.
Ltd. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements immediately following
the acquisition follows: (1) The Balance Sheet will consist of ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd.'s net assets at historical cost and ASIEInc.'s net
assets at historical cost, and (2) the Statement of Operations includes ASI
Entertainment Pty. Ltd.'s operations for the period presented and ASIEInc.'s
operations from the date of acquisition.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As such, they do not include
adjustments relating to teh recoverabiltiy of recorded asset amounts and
classification of recorded assets and liabilities. On July 1, 1998, the
Company acquired 100% of ASI Entertainment Pty Ltd., ("ASIE") an Australian
corporation. ASIE has accumulated losses of approximately $722,000 at
March 31, 1999 and will be required to make significant expenditure in
connection with continuing engineering and marketing efforts along with
general and administrative expenses. The Company's ability to continue
its operations is dependent upon its raising of capital through debt or
equity financing in order to meet its working needs.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern subsequent to the acquisition, and if
substantial additional funding is not acquired or alternative sources
developed, management will be required to curtail its operations.
The Company may raise additional capital by the sale of its equity
securities, through an offering of debt securities, or from borrowing from
a financial institution. The Company does not have a policy on the amount
of borrowing or debt that the Company can incur. The Company may also
attempt to negotiate with vendors or customers, airline revenue sharing
arrangements by which the Company will share the advertising revenue if
the vendor or customer airline provide capital for the equipment.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain
additional funding provides the additional opportunity for the Company
to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4. REVENUE
Pending re-installation in new B-737-800 aircraft, ASI equipment has
been removed from six Air Europa B-757-200 aircraft. As a result, no
revenue was received by the Company in the three month period to March
31, 1999. The installations are expected to be finalised by the end
of June, 1999, when the advertising program will recommence.

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company is incorporated in Delaware. Under Section
145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, a
Delaware corporation has the power, under specified circumstances,
to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents in
connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against
them by a third party or in the right of the corporation, by
reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers,
employees or agents, against expesnes incurred in any action,
suit or proceeding. The Certificate of Incorporation and the
By-Laws of the Company provide for indemnification of directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a

for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation
or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 (relating to liability for
unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on,

INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance
upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the
registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or 497(h) under the Securities
Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of
the time it was declared effective.
(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a
form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
