Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The following Description of Business and Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are
updates to those same discussions in our original 8-K filed on
February 25, 2000, describing the Acquisition of Assets resulting
from our successor issuer transaction with MAS Acquisition XVI
Corp.
Formation of Company.
PayForView was organized on August 26, 1988, under the name
Sierra Gold Corporation and under the laws of the State of
Nevada. PayForView had no operations at that time and as such
was considered a development stage company.
PayForView commenced trading on the National Association of
Securities Dealers (NASD) OTC Bulletin Board on December 21, 1998
under the trading symbol SIRG.
On January 4th, 1999 the name of PayForView was changed to
PayForView.com under the trading symbol PAYV.
Description of Business.
PayForView, headquartered in New York with satellite offices
in Los Angeles, California and Vancouver, Canada, is an
integrated online and offline content company that creates and
acquires events and information-based programming and delivers
that content on a pay-for-view and free basis. We produce and
own programming and distribute it through new media (the
Internet) and old media (broadcast, DBS and cable television).
In this manner, we are able to generate revenues from traditional
sources while we build a strong brand in the Internet space in
preparation for an expanding broadband universe and the upcoming
convergence of old media with new media.
We continue to enter into alliances with entertainment and
technology companies that provide elements needed for the
completion of our plans. These companies include those providing
Internet-related technical support, filmed or live programming,
recorded music and sports related programming.
Our executive offices are located at 509 Madison Avenue,
Suite 1610, New York, New York 10022, and our telephone number is
(212) 605-0150.
PayForView.com Website.
Our website, hosted by SofTV, a leader in streaming media in
the emerging broadband E-Commerce market, provides users with a
unique and vibrant interface. The core of the site is an
embedded streaming media window, where the "primary" content,
consisting of live events, archival entertainment and promos will
be displayed. Surrounding the window is a selection of
"parallel" content areas, where dynamic and compelling
information coincides with and enhances the primary content. The
beta version of the website was launched on April 26, 2000, when
the Company offered its first boxing event.
Our leading-edge technology allows video to contain
"triggers" whereby text, photos and images are seen at specific
times when a trigger is released simultaneously to the streaming
video. This innovative development is both interesting to the
viewer and a benefit to sponsors.
Since the launch of our beta web site in April 2000, we have
successfully broadcast an International Woman's Boxing
Championship event, two Ultimate Fighting Championship events
with a contract for at least one more, a live stand-up comedy
event and two international soccer events including the USA
Woman's soccer team vs. Norway match, web-cast July 30th, 2000.
We will also acquire, distribute and sell filmed
entertainment online and, through our Voyager Film Sales
subsidiary, in the traditional manner through existing
relationships with distributors and content providers.
Strategic Alliances.
We have entered the marketplace through alliances with
entertainment and technology companies that provide elements
needed for the completion of our plans. These companies include
those providing Internet related technical support, filmed or
live programming, recorded music and sports related footage.
This creates a vertical integration of entertainment-related
products and Internet expertise, which will establish our base of
operations and cash flow.
Technology Providers.
We have aligned ourselves with various quality technology
providers to provide essential streaming video, web casting and
supporting services.
InterVu/Akamai
InterVu (which was purchased by Akami in early 2000) is a
streaming media service provider working to make the Internet a
viable broadcast medium for entertainment, business and
education.
Akami has the technical expertise and distributed server
network to allow us to reliably deliver programming via the
Internet. Akami has developed proprietary technology that allows
us to manage broadcast streams in real time and gives us access
to critical information about its video database and streaming
files.
Through its own distributed broadcast network, Akami can
provide us with reliable and efficient connectivity to the
Internet, using a premier Internet infrastructure built on a
high-speed backbone and high-speed links to the Internet.
SofTV
SofTV is a leading-edge Canadian-based Internet developer
specializing in video streaming and interactive content based on
broadcast applications. SofTV's patent pending technology allows
web site publishers to combine the emotional impact of video with
the power of images, text and graphics. SofTV has created and
also hosts our web site.
Bandwidth Growth.
In order to view good quality film and video files over the
Internet, subscribers will require a cable modem, DSL or
comparable high-bandwidth connection. Research indicates that
cable companies will be the leading provider of residential
broadband service. By 2004, the industry expects a total of 31.8
million North American subscribers with high-bandwidth access.
The following table identifies current and expected trends
in the adoption of high bandwidth Internet access. These high-
end bandwidth users represent computer users with the capacity to
use services provided by us (Source: Paul Kagen and Associates)
Year Cable Modem DSL Subscriber Total High
Users Users Bandwidth Users
1999 1,460,000 420,000 1.880,000
2000 3,600,000 2,400,000 6,000,000
2001 7,590,000 4,170,000 11,760,000
2002 12,950,000 7,090,000 20,040,000
2003 15,840,000 10,590,000 26,430,000
2004 18,980,000 12,910,000 31,890,000
A quickening pace of development in both technology and
content available to users of the World Wide Web parallels this
increase in Internet access speed. New technologies such as
video and audio streaming enable the creation of new forms of
content, combining aspects of traditional, narrowband web design
(including text, graphics, and hyper-links) with the video-based
production concepts of television. While this market is growing
rapidly, it presently accounts for a small percentage of the
Internet users online today. Accordingly, most companies
involved in the development of technology and content for the Web
are focusing on solutions that are intended to provide an
acceptable experience for the predominant narrowband customer,
while offering an improved version of the same experience to
broadband users.
Bandwidth Islands.
In the marketplace, we have identified companies which we
describe as "Bandwidth Islands". These are organizations whose
primary business is the sale and service of bandwidth and related
services to end users, both residential and commercial. Each of
these Islands has a built in subscriber base, and instant access
through their database to the high bandwidth users which we are
targeting.
In selling high bandwidth services to homes, one of the
challenges faced by the Islands is content. Consumers, while
attracted to the extra speed in Internet surfing possible with
higher bandwidth, generally question the value of upgrading to
higher bandwidth at higher cost when, to date, there is not
enough content on the net for which high bandwidth is required.
By collecting content and creating and perfecting a delivery and
tracking mechanism, we will be able to offer the Islands the
content with which they will be able to attract additional high
band width customers, and keep the ones they have on line and on
our subscriber list. Additionally, by retaining control of the
content and delivery system, we intend to sell advertising during
our programming, thus offering the Island an additional source of
revenue.
Growth of Online Commerce.
The Internet is dramatically affecting the methods by which
consumers and businesses are buying and selling goods and
services. The Web provides the ability to reach a global
audience and to operate with minimal infrastructure, reduced
overhead and greater economies of scale, while providing
consumers with a broad selection, increased pricing power and
unparalleled convenience. As a result, a growing number of
consumers are transacting business on the Web, including buying
consumer goods, trading securities, paying bills and purchasing
airline tickets. International Data Corporation estimates that
approximately 28% of Web users purchased goods or services over
the Web in 1998 and that approximately 40% of Web users will make
online purchases in 2002. Jupiter Communications estimates that
retail consumer purchases of goods and services over the Internet
will increase from $5.0 billion in 1998 to $29.4 billion in 2002.
We believe that as electronic commerce expands, advertisers and
direct marketers will increasingly use the Web to advertise
products, drive traffic to their websites, attract customers and
facilitate transactions.
Growth of Internet Advertising.
The Web is evolving into an important medium for advertisers
due to its interactive nature, global reach, rapidly growing
audience and the expected increase in online commerce. Unlike
more traditional advertising methods, the Web gives advertisers
the potential to target advertisements to broad audiences or to
selected groups of users with specific interests and
characteristics. The Web also allows advertisers and direct
marketers to measure the effectiveness and response rates of
advertisements and to track the demographic characteristics of
Web users. The interactive nature of Web advertising enables
advertisers to better understand potential customers, and to
change messages rapidly and cost effectively in response to
customer behavior and product availability.
We anticipate a significant increase in online advertising.
Forrester Research estimates that the dollar value of Internet
advertising in the U.S. will increase from $1.3 billion in 1998
to $10.4 billion in 2003, representing a 52% compounded annual
growth rate. International online ad spending is expected to grow
from $0.2 billion in 1998 to $4.7 billion in 2003, representing
an 87% compounded growth rate. By comparison, Broadcasting &
Cable estimates that $130 billion was spent in 1998 on
traditional media advertising in the U.S., including television,
radio, outdoor and print. Until recently, the leading Internet
advertisers have been technology companies, search engines and
Web publishers. However, many of the largest advertisers
utilizing traditional media, including consumer products
companies and automobile manufacturers, are expanding their use
of online advertising. We believe that online advertising will
continue to capture an increasing share of available advertising
dollars and that this trend will drive demand for online ad
inventory and for sophisticated Internet advertising solutions.
Driven by the growing online population, the rise in time
spent online and increasing digital commerce adoption, online
advertising revenues have surpassed outdoor advertising and will
exceed spending for cable advertising. By 2003, roughly three-
quarters of today's radio spending will be converted to Internet
advertising.
Revenue Streams.
Although we have a transaction/advertising revenue model it
is unlike traditional websites that offer only one or two of
these revenue streams. We have numerous methods to capitalize on
its exclusive branding, image and content. We will derive our
revenue streams from the following sources:
- -Live Events
Users pay an online fee for a one-time viewing of select
live event programming. Users pay a fee of $1.99 to $4.95
depending on the exclusivity of the event. For example, the
Ultimate Fighting Championship event that PayForView offered on
June 9, 2000 was only seen on the our website and on Direct
Broadcast Satellite (DBS). It was not on either network or cable
television.
- -Archival Events
In the future, users will be charged an online transactional
fee for a one-time viewing of an archived event program. The
archival programming will consist of classic sports events, major
boxing matches, films, comedy performances, etc. The charge for
these events will range from $.49 to $1.99. These events are at
the convenience of the viewers, at the time they wish to view
them.
- -Advertising
Since PayForView.com is a very "sticky" site, one where a
user resides for a lengthy period of time, advertisers will pay
to have their advertising served and tracked on our website.
These advertisers will be on the website the length of time users
view either the free entertainment information, which might be
upwards of a half hour, or a live event, which they will watch
for several hours.
- -E-Commerce
Users may purchase merchandise specifically related to event
programs, both live or archived from our e-commerce shop.
Merchandise pertaining to our free entertainment and sports
information will also be offered. We are in discussions to
partner with several retailers that offer event related
merchandise.
- -On-line Syndication
We will capitalize on the lack of quality entertainment
produced specifically for on-line viewing. At this time, there
are a number of Internet companies who are streaming video who
are in need of the type of programming we are creating and
acquiring. Our executive team, with experience and contacts in
event production, sees an excellent opportunity to become an on-
line provider of video based events to emerging Internet based
streaming media companies. We are well positioned as a one-stop,
turnkey provider of compelling, entertaining content.
- -Sales to Traditional Media
During the rollout of the Broadband universe, some of our
acquired programming will be sold to traditional media such as
DBS and cable television. This allows for revenue generation of
a magnitude greater than the present Broadband universe allows.
- -VHS/DVD Sales
Since we acquire programming, we will negotiate with
international VHS/DVD distributors to release the product in
brick-and-mortar and electronic commerce distribution avenues to
gain additional revenue.
Competition.
Perhaps closest to our business model is www.centerseat.com.
Similar in design and concept, Center Seat offers a wide variety
of online entertainment, but does not charge for online
programming. The firm also does not deliver live events nor does
it offer chat room functionality. Moreover, Center Seat does not
presently offer rich media advertising as does PayForView.
Kanakaris Wireless Inc., (OTC BB: KKRS) www.kanakaris.com,
offers online pay-per-view movies, downloadable books and related
e-commerce.
House of Blues, www.hob.com, offers live and archival music
events that appear at the House of Blues venues and also offers
related e-commerce.
Our approach differs from the above through diversification.
By having an interest in a record label, sports and event
alliances and a film production and sales division, PayForView is
in a position to create revenue from non-Internet sources while
also creating the content it intends to broadcast on the
Internet. By including music, sports, comedy and other live
events, and utilizing an embedded video window, triggered
parallel content and rich media advertising, we are attempting to
differentiate ourselves from our competitors.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Information.
This Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward looking
statements and information relating to us that are based on the
beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to us. When used in this
document, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," and
"expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are
intended to identify forward looking statements. Such statements
reflect our current views with respect to future events and are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
including those described in this discussion and elsewhere in
this Report on Form 8-K. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.
We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
General.
We are an integrated online and offline content company that
creates and acquires events and information-based content and
delivers such content on a pay-for-view and free basis. We
produce and own programming and distribute it through new media
(the Internet) and old media (broadcast, DBS and cable
television.) We have entered into alliances with entertainment
and technology companies that provide elements needed for the
completion of our plans. These companies include those providing
Internet related technical support, filmed or live programming,
recorded music and sports related footage. This creates a
vertical integration of entertainment-related products and
Internet expertise, which will establish a base of operations and
cash flow for us. We have not had any significant revenues since
purchasing Voyager Entertainment in 1999. We have incurred a
cumulative net loss in our development stage of approximately
$16.9 million as of June 30, 2000. We expect to continue to
incur substantial and increasing losses during our development
stage due to continued and increased spending on our web site,
hiring of employees, research and the costs of marketing, sales,
video streaming and administrative activities.
We anticipate that future revenues and results of operations
may continue to fluctuate significantly depending on, among other
factors, the number of available subscribers who have access to
high speed Internet connections, the costs associated with the
streaming of video based content over the Internet, our ability
to recruit and retain advertising clients, and our ability to
successfully provide viewers with compelling and entertaining
events. We anticipate our operating activities will result in
substantial net losses while in our development stage and expect
losses to continue for a period of time once in our operational
stage.
Results of Operations.
Year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the period from
April 6, 1998 (inception) through December 31, 1998 and six
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1999.
The Company has restated its financial statements as of and
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to reflect the charge to
expense of our investment in Turn-Key Entertainment, LLC, a
development stage company.
Revenues.
We had no revenues from operations from our inception on
April 6, 1998 to date.
Selling, general and administrative expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year
ended December 31, 1999 increased to $2,240,097 from $275,528, a
net increase of $1,964,569 as compared to the period from April
6, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998. Prior to January of
1999, the company was in its very early development stage, and
was not carrying on any significant business, which resulted in
low operating costs. As a result of venture capital funding from
a private investor beginning in January 1999,we began to build
and execute our business plan, hire staff, build our web site and
create awareness of our business through public relations and
marketing. These four areas saw the greatest increase in
spending in 1999 as compared to 1998. Management compensation
for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased to $241,750 from
$9000, an increase of $232,750 as compared to 1998. Web site
development, Public Relations and Marketing costs increased to
$565,608 for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $44,608 for
the period from April 6, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998.
The remaining selling, general and administrative expenses of
$1,432,739 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999
increased from $221,920 for the period from April 6, 1998
(inception) to December 31, 1998, and consisted primarily of
$936,000 in consulting fees of which $653,000 was non cash based,
equity compensation, and $183,000 in travel and entertainment
expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 increased to $4,977,289 from
$1,013,131, a net increase of $3,964,158 as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to
increases in personnel costs and consulting fees of $3,530,312
(of which $3,051,000 was non-cash equity based compensation),
transaction costs relating to the MAS Acquisition of $475,000 (of
which $375,000 was non-cash, equity based compensation), and
$110,000 increase in professional fees offset by a decrease in
advertising and promotion of $290,000. The increases in
personnel costs, consulting and professional fees resulted from
our web-design, marketing and content acquisition efforts.
Advertising and promotion decreased during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 due to our efforts being focused on the development
of a new version of our website which was in its beta test phase
and therefore we spent less time and effort on advertising and
marketing. Advertising and marketing costs incurred during the
six months ended June 30, 1999 included $103,000 paid for the
marketing of a live web cast from the Cannes film festival and
approximately $180,000 in Investor relations, public relations
and market research costs. The remaining increase of $139,000 is
due to higher overhead costs relating to our move from Vancouver
British Columbia to New York City.
Loss From Impairment:
We had a loss from impairment during the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999 of $4,247,022 due to the fact that we issued
shares of our common stock in payment for certain deliverables
that we subsequently became aware did not exist.
We had a loss from impairment during the six months ended
June 30, 1999 of $2,821,500 due to the fact that we issued shares
in payment for certain deliverables that we subsequently became
aware did not exist.
Loss From Discontinued Operations:
For the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, our results
of operations included approximately $2,281,360 of losses
relating to Street Solid, a record label that we acquired on
January 5, 1999. We disposed of 81% of Street Solid in October
1999, resulting in a loss from disposal of $1,225,193.The results
of operations during 1999 of Street Solid have been accounted for
as discontinued operations and amounted to $1,056,167. During
the six months ended June 30, 1999, our results of operations
included approximately $675,000 of losses from discontinued
operations relating to Street Solid.
Investment Expense:
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company had
$2,400,000 of investment expense. This related to a strategic
investment that we made in Turn-Key Entertainment LLC ("Turn-
Key"). Since the Company neither manages nor controls Turn-Key,
which remains in the development stage and has had no significant
operations to date, the investment was charged to expense in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Interest Income:
Interest Income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$41,000 and $74,000,respectively, as compared to $8,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. This is due to larger cash and
cash equivalents balances during the six months ended June 30,
2000 resulting from the net proceeds received by us from our
private placements of shares of our common stock.
Interest Expense:
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1999 was
$348,631 as compared to zero for the period from April 6, 1998
(inception) to December 31, 1998. This is due to a one-time
interest charge resulting from the net proceeds received by the
company from its private placement of convertible debentures and
subsequent conversion to common shares.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
zero. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $334,795, which was primarily a result of a non-cash interest
charge related to a convertible debenture agreement, whereby such
debentures would be convertible into shares of our common stock
at a 25% discount to the market price.
Extraordinary Item.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we recorded a
gain on extinguishment of debt of $200,151. This was due to a
May 2000 settlement of debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Since inception through June 30 2000, we had a deficit
accumulated during the development stage of approximately $16.9
million and expect to continue to incur substantial operating
losses for the next several years of our development stage. We
have financed our operations primarily through private placements
of our Common Stock. From inception to June 30, 2000 we received
proceeds from the sale of equity securities, net of share
issuance expenses, of approximately $6 million. Cash proceeds
from the sale of our securities during January 2000 were
approximately $5.4 million, including the $222,500 received in
December 1999.
We used net cash in operating activities of $ 1,711,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000. Net cash and cash
equivalents used in operations for the six months ended June 30,
2000 consisted of the loss from continuing operations of
$7,316,780, less non cash items of $5,887,414, increases in
prepaid expenses of $44,968, increases in other assets of
$177,840 (which represented a security deposit on our new
premises), and decreases in accounts payable of $18,939.
Net cash used in investing activities consisted of
$1,873,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Investing
activities included payments for website costs of $291,000, a
settlement payment to the purchaser of Street Solid of $58,000,
capital expenditures of $124,000 and a strategic equity
investment of $1.4 million in a start-up private company which
intends to build an online product synergistic with our core
business.
Net cash provided by financing activities consisted of
$5,159,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, resulting from
the proceeds from the sale of common stock of $5,159,000.
Our capital funding requirements will depend on numerous
factors, including the progress and magnitude of the our website
development, marketing plans, technological advances, competitive
and market conditions, our ability to establish and maintain
collaborative arrangements, the cost of streaming video content
on the Internet and effectiveness of commercialization activities
and arrangements.
We are likely to require substantial funding to continue our
website development, marketing, sales, and administrative
activities. We have raised funds in the past through the sale of
securities, and may raise funds in the future through public
offerings or private placements of securities, collaborative
arrangements or from other sources. We continue to explore and,
as appropriate, will enter into discussions with other companies
regarding the potential for equity investment, collaborative
arrangements, license agreements or development or other funding
programs with us in exchange for marketing, distribution or other
rights to our products and services. However, there can be no
assurance that discussions with other companies will result in
any investments, collaborative arrangements, agreements or
funding, or that the necessary additional financing through debt
or equity financing will be available to us on acceptable terms,
if at all. Further, there can be no assurance that any
arrangements resulting from these discussions will successfully
reduce our funding requirements. If additional funding is not
available to us when needed, we will be required to scale back
our website development, marketing and administrative activities
and our business and financial results and condition would be
materially and adversely affected.
CHANGES IN SECURITIES
1. During the first quarter of 2000 we entered into two
separate subscription agreements for the private
placement of shares of our Common Stock at a price of
$1.50 per share. We received $1,215,000 from the sale
of 810,000 shares under the terms of the first
agreement on January 15, 2000, and $4,200,000 from the
sale of 2,800,000 shares under the terms of the second
agreement dated January 21, 2000, for a total proceeds
of $5,381,000, which is net of $34,000 of offering
costs.
2. During the first quarter of 2000, holders of $172,500
of convertible debentures exchanged such debentures for
6,900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a
Debenture Agreement dated June 25, 1999.
3. In February 2000, we granted an aggregate of 3,000,000
shares to officers and consultants as equity based
compensation. The shares were distributed and vested
on that date.
4. In March of 2000, we acquired MAS Acquisition
Corporation, an inactive public shell corporation in
exchange for an aggregate of 670,000 shares of its
common stock (including a commission of 335,000 shares)
and $100,000.
5. In May of 2000, we made a strategic investment in
Turn-key Entertainment LLC, a private development stage
Delaware Corporation that intends to develop an online
streaming media product that is synergistic with our
core business. We issued 2,000,000 shares of our
restricted common stock and paid $1,400,000 in cash in
exchange for 25% of the outstanding stock of Turn-key
Entertainment LLC.
6. On July 13, 2000, our Board of Directors approved a
stock option plan ("the Plan") and reserved 4 million
shares of our common stock to attract, motivate and
retain individuals upon whose continued efforts the
success of the company in large measure depends. On
July 25, 2000, we issued 1,675,000 options pursuant to
the Plan to certain employees, officers, directors and
consultants. The exercise price of such options were
$0.25 per share, based, as per the terms of the plan,
on the closing price on the day immediately preceding
the issue date. These options vest over a three-year
period and expire in July 2003.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
Financial Statements.
On February 25, 2000, the Company filed an 8-K describing a
change in control resulting from a Stock Exchange Agreement
entered into as of February 22, 2000, between MRC Legal Services
Corporation, a California corporation, which entity is the

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Payforview.com Corp. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Payforview.com Corp. and Subsidiaries (formerly Sierra Gold
Corporation) (a development stage company) as of December 31,
1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and
the cumulative consolidated statement of operations and cash
flows for the period April 6, 1998 (inception) through December
31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did
not audit the financial statements of the Company for the period
from April 6, 1998 (inception) through December 31, 1998 which
represents 2.8% of the cumulative net loss for the period from
April 6, 1998 (inception) through December 31, 1999. These
statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon
has been furnished to us, and in our opinion, insofar as it
related to the 1998 results, is based solely on the report of the
other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other
auditors, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Payforview.com Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December
31, 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended and the
cumulative results of operations and cash flows for the period
from April 6, 1998 through December 31, 1999, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note B, the Company has experienced recurring net losses, has
an accumulated deficit and is experiencing difficulty in
generating sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and
sustain its operations, which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note B. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Stockholders and Directors of Payforview.com Corp. and
Subsidiaries
(formerly Voyager International Entertainment Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Payforview.com Corp. and Subsidiaries (formerly Voyager
International Entertainment Inc.) as of December 31, 1998 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from
incorporation on April 6, 1998 to December 31, 1998. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Payforview.com Corp. and Subsidiaries
(formerly Voyager International Entertainment Inc.) as of
December 31, 1998, and the consolidated results of its
operations, its consolidated changes in stockholders' equity and
its consolidated cash flows for the period from incorporation on
April 6, 1998 to December 31, 1998 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming that Payforview.com Corp. and Subsidiaries
(formerly Voyager International Entertainment Inc.) will continue
as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated
financial statements, unless the Company attains future
profitable operations and/or obtains additional financing, there
is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
discussed in Note B. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

held in trust as commission) (see Note H), in exchange for the
issued and outstanding shares of Voyager International
Entertainment Inc. ("Voyager"). Voyager was incorporated on
April 6, 1998 in Nevada. As a result of the share exchange,
control of the combined companies passed to the former
shareholders of Voyager. This type of share exchange has been
accounted for as a capital transaction accompanied by a
recapitalization of Voyager. Recapitalization accounting results
in consolidated financial statements of Voyager being issued
under the name of Payforview.com Corp. and Subsidiaries, but are
considered a continuation of Voyager. No goodwill or other
intangible assets were recognized in connection with such
recapitalization. (See Note D.)
On January 15, 1999, the Company implemented a two-for-one
forward stock split. On April 9, 1999, the Company implemented a
three-for-two forward stock split. All share and per share
amounts in the financial statements have been retroactively
restated to give effect to the above splits. Loss per share
information reflects the recapitalization.
The Company is considered a development stage company as its
planned principal operations have not yet commenced. Presently,
the Company is developing an internet-based website to distribute
movies, music, live events and sports events direct to consumers
on a pay-for-view basis.
NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company has not generated any revenue from its
planned businesses and has generated losses from continuing
operations, net losses and an accumulated deficit for all periods
presented. As shown in the financial statements during the
period from April 6, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998 and
the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company incurred losses of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period from April 6, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998,
year ended December 31, 1999 and six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 (Unaudited) (As Restated)
NOTE B (continued)
$275,528 and $9,479,413, respectively. As of December 31, 1999
and 1998, the Company had deficits accumulated in the development
stage of $9,754,941 and $275,528, respectively. These factors,
among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from this uncertainty.
Management has obtained additional equity financing in the amount
of $5,415,000 (Note O.1) in the first quarter of 2000 and the
Company intends to file a shelf registration in the future
through private placements of shares. As of June 30, 2000, the
Company had approximately $2.0 million in cash. Management
believes this will be adequate for at least the next twelve
months.
The Company has restated its financial statements as of and for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to reflect the expense of an
investment in a development stage company (see Note O).
NOTE C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Payforview.com Corp. and Subsidiaries (formerly Sierra
Gold Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, from
their respective dates of acquisition (see Notes A and D).
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
As discussed more thoroughly in Note D, Street Solid is
presented as discontinued operations.
2. Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased.

NOTE C (continued)
3. Stock-based Compensation
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
("SFAS No. 123"). As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the
Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for
its employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, when the
exercise price of employee stock options equals or exceeds
the market price of the underlying stock on the date of
grant, no compensation expense is recorded. However, with
respect to common stock and options granted to nonemployees,
the Company records expense equal to the fair value of the
common stock or option on the measurement date, which
generally is the date of completion of services. Expenses
relating to such options or stock are estimated based upon
fair value as of the end of each reporting period prior to
the measurement date.
4. Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." A deferred tax asset or liability is
recorded for temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting and net operating loss carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on
the date of enactment.
5. Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period from April 6, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 1998,
year ended December 31, 1999 and six months

NOTE C (continued)
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
6. Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts payable, loans payable and convertible
debentures. The fair values of these financial instruments
approximate their carrying values, due to the short-term
maturities of such items.
7. Reporting on Costs of Start-up Activities
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of
Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities," which requires costs of start-up
activities and organization costs to be expensed as
incurred. The cumulative effect of adopting this principle
was immaterial.
8. Foreign Currency Transactions
Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are
converted into United States currency at exchange rates
prevailing at transaction dates. Gains and losses from
foreign currency transactions are recorded as operating
expenses and are immaterial.
9. Revenue Recognition
The Company is currently in the development stage and
therefore has no revenues. Revenues from services will be
recognized at the time the services are provided to the
customer.

NOTE C (continued)
10. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is based on
the estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed
using the straight-line method as follows:
Computer equipment 3 years
Furniture and office equipment 5 years
Software 3 years
11. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of goodwill, licenses and rights.
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the
fair market value of the net assets of businesses acquired
and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its
estimated useful life of five years. Costs of licenses and
rights are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives, which are generally one
to five years.
12. Long-lived Assets and Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company's policy is to review all long-lived assets,
including goodwill, for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. In such circumstances,
the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows
expected to be generated by an asset less the future cash
outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows.
If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted
and without interest charges) is less than the carrying
amount of the asset, the Company would recognize an
impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset.

NOTE C (continued)
13. Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS
No. 128"), "Earnings Per Share." Under the provisions of
SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share is computed by
dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net
loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
However, as the Company generated net losses in all periods
presented, common equivalent shares, composed of incremental
common shares issuable upon the conversion of debentures,
are not reflected in diluted net loss per share because such
shares are antidilutive. As of December 31, 1999, $172,500
of debentures were not yet converted. Such debentures were
converted into 6,900,000 shares of common stock in January
and February 2000. There were no outstanding options or
warrants as of December 31, 1998 or 1999, or as of June 30,
1999 or 2000.
All per share amounts are calculated to reflect the
Company's change in capital structure for all periods
presented.
14. Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." This statement establishes rules for the reporting
of comprehensive income and its components. The Company has
no transactions that are required to be reported as other
comprehensive income.
15. New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"), "Accounting for Derivative

Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as
amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the
statement will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
16. Interim Financial Information (Unaudited)
Information in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 2000 and the cumulative information from April 6, 1998
(inception) through June 30, 2000 is unaudited. The
condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30,
2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 and
the cumulative amounts from April 6, 1998 (inception)
through June 30, 2000 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to
interim financial information and the rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
the opinion of the Company's management, the June 30, 1999
and 2000 unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
such financial statements. The results of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire year.

NOTE D - ACQUISITIONS
1. Voyager Acquisition (Note A)
On January 5, 1999, Payforview acquired all the issued and
outstanding shares of Voyager in exchange for 7,788,840 of
its shares (plus 1,500,000 shares held in trust as a
commission, see Note H). This transaction has been
accounted for as a capital transaction accompanied by a
recapitalization of Voyager rather than a business
combination. Therefore, the total cost of the acquisition
represents the net book value of the acquired liabilities.
No goodwill or other intangibles have been recognized in
connection with this transaction. The consolidated
financial statements include the assets, liabilities and
operations of Voyager for all periods presented.
Liabilities acquired were $1,450, which pertained to
accounts payable and accrued expenses.
2. Street Solid Acquisition and Disposition
On January 6, 1999, Payforview acquired all the issued and
outstanding shares of Street Solid Records Inc. ("Street
Solid"), a Nevada corporation. As consideration, Payforview
issued 1,173,509 common shares. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method. The operations of
Street Solid are included in the consolidated financial
statements subsequent to the date of acquisition and through
the date of disposition. The purchase price was determined
based on the fair market value of the Company's common
stock.
The total purchase price was allocated as follows:
Total purchase price $1,598,280
Liabilities assumed in business combination 198,000
----------
Excess purchase price $1,796,280
==========
The Company has allocated excess purchase price to
intangible assets, including record contracts and goodwill.
Intangible assets and goodwill are being amortized over five
years.
Pro forma information has not been provided as the
acquisition is not significant.

NOTE D (continued)
On October 29, 1999, the Company sold an aggregate of 81% of
Street Solid in two separate transactions. In the first
transaction, the Company sold 70% of Street Solid for
aggregate consideration of $192,000 (net of an additional
$58,000 paid by the Company to them in 2000). In the second
transaction, the Company sold 11% of Street Solid, in
exchange for a note receivable of $39,000. Since there was
doubt about the collectibility of such note, the Company
wrote-off such note at December 31, 1999. The operations of
Street Solid have been reported as a discontinued operation
for the period from January 6, 1999 through October 29,
1999, which was the date of disposal. Additionally, a loss
on disposal of operations, which included the write-off of
intangible assets and goodwill of $1,225,193, was recognized
in connection with the disposal of Street Solid.
Summarized financial information for Street Solid was as

purchaser of Street Solid.
As of October 29, 1999, the Company began accounting for its

NOTE E - LICENSES AND RIGHTS
1. Reel Media - In February 1999, the Company entered into an
agreement with Reel Media International to acquire the
license and internet broadcast rights to a 750-film library.
As consideration for the license rights, the Company issued
52,500 common shares at a value of $101,150, determined
based on the market price of the common stock of the
Company. The term of the agreement is for four years. As
of December 31, 1999, the Company's website was not
completed. At the same time, it became apparent to the
Company that the technology for showing such movies on the
internet is not yet widely available in the mass market.
Therefore, management determined that an event has occurred
that indicates that such asset may be impaired. Management
determined that the expected future cash flows from the
license agreement, on an undiscounted basis, will not exceed
the carrying value of the license. The Company reviewed the
expected future cash flows on a discounted basis and
determined that the fair value of the licenses was
approximately $40,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded an
impairment loss of approximately $40,000 as of December 31,
1999.
2. Bacchus - In March 1999, the Company issued 1,012,500 common
shares to Bacchus Entertainment Ltd. at a value of
$2,821,500, as determined by the market price of shares of
the Company's common stock, as consideration for the
purchase of various rights and interests in feature films
and motion picture productions. Management determined that
the rights it purchased did not exist, and believes that the
seller misrepresented the items available and breached the
contract. Therefore, the full value of the consideration
issued to Bacchus has been recorded as an impairment loss as
of December 31, 1999. (See Note P.)

3. Sportsworld - In April 1999, the Company entered into an
agreement with Sportsworld Network (Australia) Pty. Limited
to acquire the nonexclusive, worldwide license rights to
broadcast various sports-related filmclips and highlights.
As consideration for the license rights, the Company issued
37,500 common shares at a value of $144,750, as determined
by the market price of shares of the Company's common stock.
The agreement also provides for a royalty of 8% of gross
revenues to be paid by the Company. As of December 31,
1999, the Company's website was not yet ready for use.
Because of the delay in completion of the website and the
short-term nature of the agreement, the Company believes
that an event has occurred that would indicate impairment.
The license agreement expired July 1, 2000. The Company
charged the unamortized balance at December 31, 1999 of
$72,375 to selling, general and administrative expenses
since the Company was not able to broadcast these programs
prior to expiration of the licenses.

NOTE H - LOAN PAYABLE
Amounts due under the loans payable represent advances
during 1999 from a third party to cover certain operating
expenses. The advances are noninterest-bearing and payable
on demand.
In May 2000, the Company settled this obligation through
liquidation of approximately 1,280,000 shares of the
1,500,000 shares held by the trustee in connection with the
Voyager acquisition (Note D). Such shares were sold to
unrelated third-parties for aggregate proceeds of $899,602,
of which $850,000 were distributed to the holders of the
loan payable and in payment of transaction costs. On the
date of the transaction, the Company recorded a gain on
extinguishment of debt of approximately $250,000 which will
be reflected as an extraordinary item during the second
quarter of 2000. The remaining 220,000 shares held in trust
are the property of the Company and the remaining proceeds
from the sale of the shares of $49,602 became property of
the Company. The proceeds of the sale of such shares were
included in additional paid-in capital during the second
quarter of 2000.
NOTE I - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In June 1999, the Company entered into a Debenture Agreement
and Securities Subscription Agreement with BSD Holdings
L.L.C. ("BSD").
Under the agreement, the Company can issue up to $1,000,000
of 2% Series A senior subordinated convertible redeemable
debentures. The principal sum outstanding plus accrued
interest calculated at a rate of 2% per annum is due at
maturity on June 25, 2001.

NOTE I (continued)
Each $10,000 debenture is convertible immediately upon
issuance into common shares of the Company at the option of
the holder at a conversion price equal to 75% of the closing
bid price of the Company's common stock on the OTC Bulletin
Board for the day immediately preceding the date of the
notice of conversion.
Payforview has the option to redeem the debentures at 125%
of the principal amount to the extent conversion has not
occurred.
Under the agreement, Payforview has issued $1,000,000 of
debentures to BSD at various dates during 1999. An
aggregate of $827,500 of the outstanding debentures were
converted during 1999, resulting in the issuance of
22,837,005 common shares of Payforview. As of December 31,
1999, $172,500 of debentures remained outstanding which were
converted into 6,900,000 shares of common stock in January
2000.
Because the debentures contained a beneficial conversion
feature, the Company recorded a charge to interest expense
(with a credit to additional paid-in capital) for $333,333
during 1999. Since the debt was convertible immediately
upon issuance, a charge to operations for the entire
beneficial conversion feature was recorded in 1999.

The Company has one series of common shares with a par value

3. Other Common Share Issuances
a. The Company issued an aggregate of 200,000 shares in
payments for the license and rights for website software.
The value of these shares was determined to be $292,000
based on the market price of the Company's common stock on
the date of issuance. These software license costs are
included in fixed assets as of December 31, 1999.
b. The Company issued an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares to an
investment banker in exchange for financial advisory
services. This investment banker is the owner of the
company that purchased the 70% share of Street Solid Records
(see Note D). The shares were issued in anticipation of
services which were never received. The Company and the
investment banker signed a mutual release of liabilities and
obligations in March 2000. These shares were valued at
$1,386,876, based on the market value on the date of grant.
The value of these shares has been charged to expense as a
loss from impairment.
c. The Company issued an aggregate of 333,333 shares of common
stock to a consultant in exchange for services pursuant to a
contract which extends from July 1, 1999 through June 30,
2000. The value of the shares will not be determinable
until completion of the service period. These shares were
valued at $100,000, based on the market price as of December
31, 1999. One-half of the expense relating to such stock,
or $50,000, has been charged to operations and reflected in
selling, general and administrative expenses in 1999.
d. The Company on behalf of Street Solid issued 200,000 shares
to a Company in exchange for eight ads in their magazine.
These shares were valued at $60,000, based on the market
price on October 29, 1999, which is the date the services
had been completed. Upon the sale of Street Solid, the
Company forfeited future rights to these ads.
e. The Company issued an additional 122,000 shares to various
parties in exchange for services. These shares were valued
at $77,836, based on the market price of the Company's
common stock when services had been completed, or when
services had not yet been completed, as of December 31,
1999. The value of these shares has been charged to
selling, general and administrative expenses.

NOTE O - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
1. Sale of Common Stock - On January 15, 2000, the Company

three unrelated third-party shareholders. Pursuant to this
agreement, the Company sold 120,000 shares of stock to these
investors at a price of $1.50 per share and provided the
investors with an option to purchase up to a maximum of an
additional 690,000 shares. The investors purchased an

$1,215,000, of which $222,500 was paid in 1999. The shares
were issued in July 2000.
On January 21, 2000, the Company entered into a stock
subscription and option agreement with certain unrelated
third-party shareholders. Pursuant to this agreement, the
Company sold 1,000,000 shares of stock to these investors at
a price of $1.50 per share. Additionally, the agreement
provided the investors with an option to purchase up to a
maximum of an additional 2,000,000 shares. The investors

4. Acquisition - In February 2000, the Company acquired MAS
Acquisition Corporation, an inactive public shell
corporation in exchange for an aggregate of 335,000 shares
of its common stock. Additionally, the Company incurred
transaction costs relating to this acquisition, and settled
such cost by issuing 335,000 shares and paying cash of
$100,000, which resulted in an aggregate charge to expense
of $475,000 in the first quarter of 2000. This acquisition
was accounted for at the historical basis of the assets of
MAS (which were $31) since there was no business acquired.
No goodwill or other intangibles were acquired.
5. On May 10, 2000, the Company made a strategic investment of
$1,400,000 plus 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock
to purchase a 25% interest in a company controlled by a
consultant of the Company, Turn-Key Entertainment LLC ("the
investee), whose plan is to develop an on-line streaming
media product that is synergistic with its core business.
The investee had no operations through June 30, 2000 other
than the Company's investment and had cash available of
$1,396,562. The company has the right to participate in
future financings by the investee. The consultant discussed
in Note N-3 owns the remaining 75% of the investee.
Since the Company neither manages nor controls the investee,
which remains in the development stage and has no
significant operations to date, the investment was charged
to expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

a stock option plan ("the Plan") and reserved 4 million

the Plan to certain employees, officers, directors and
consultants. The exercise price of such options was $0.25
per share, based, as per the terms of the plan, on the

date. These options vest over a three-year period and
expire in July 2003.
2. On August 3, 2000, the Company and Bacchus (and related
entities) signed an agreement whereby 487,200 (of the

with an investment bank, to register and underwrite shares
of its common stock with an aggregate market value not to
exceed $40,000,000, which will be offered for sale to the
public. In connection with such agreement, the Company is
obligated to issue warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of
common stock to such investment bank, at an exercise price
of $0.28 per share, subject to adjustment under certain
conditions. These warrants remain the property of the
investment bank, whether or not the registration and
proposed sale of shares to the public is completed. The
agreement also provides for additional warrants to be issued
to the investment bank upon achieving certain milestones in
the registration process.

described on Exhibit A hereto. No Member shall be obligated to
make any additional Capital Contributions.
(b) In addition to the Capital Contribution to the
Company described in Exhibit A, PFV agrees to provide the Company
with (i) office space and (ii) the services of its employees, as
requested by the Company from time to time, each at no cost to
the Company for so long as PFV is a Member.
(c) The Manager may accept additional Capital
Contributions in addition to the initial Capital Contributions
referred to above from existing Members or upon the admission of
additional Members. In the event that the Manager desires to
solicit additional Capital Contributions it shall first offer
each of the existing Members the opportunity for a period of
twenty (20) days to make such additional Capital Contributions in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests at that time.
To the extent that the existing Members do not subscribe for the
full amount of the aggregate additional Capital Contribution
requested by the Manager, the Manager shall be entitled for a
period of sixty (60) days to solicit such Capital Contributions
from Persons who are not Members. It is understood and agreed
that such additional Capital Contributions will have the effect
of diluting the Percentage Interests of the Members who do not
elect to make the full amount of the additional Capital
Contributions which they are entitled to make.
(d) No Member shall be paid interest on nor shall
interest be payable in respect of any Capital Contribution to the
Company or on or in respect of such Member's Capital Account.
(e) Except as otherwise provided by the express terms
of any Preferred Interests, no Member shall have any right to
receive the return of its Capital Contribution, except as
provided in Article 8. No distribution to a Member shall be
treated as a return of the Capital Contribution of such Member
except as provided by the express terms of any Preferred
Interests, in Article 8 or except as required by the Company Act.
(f) The Manager shall have the authority, in its
discretion, to dilute the Percentage Interest of the Members as
in effect from time to time through the solicitation of
additional Capital Contributions which may provide for preferred
economic rights (the "Preferred Interests"), including, but not
limited to, relative Percentage Interests which are greater or
lesser in proportion to the aggregate amount invested than prior
rounds of investment in the Company, subject, however, to the
rights of the existing Members to subscribe for such Preferred
Interests pursuant to the provisions of clause (c) of this
Section 3.2. Upon the receipt of any additional Capital
Contributions, including, but not limited to, Capital
Contributions with respect to Preferred Interests, the Manager
shall amend the names, addresses, Capital Contributions and
Percentage Interests of the Members as set forth in Exhibit A
hereto and shall promptly distribute a copy of such amended
Exhibit A to the Members.
(g) The Manager shall value all Capital Contributions
consisting of assets other than cash in good faith and all
determinations by the Manager as to the fair market value of such
non-cash Capital Contributions shall be conclusive and binding on
all Members for all purposes of this Agreement.
4. Distributions; Allocations
4.1 Distributions
(a) To the extent permitted by the Company Act,
Distributable Cash shall be distributed to Members at the times
and in the amounts provided in Section 4.2 and at such other
times and in such other amounts as the Manager shall determine in
its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Subject to Section 8.2, distributions of
Distributable Cash will be made to all Members pro rata in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, no distribution shall be made by the
Company in violation of Section 18-607 of the Company Act.
4.2 Tax Liability Distributions
Distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made to the
Members pro rata in accordance with the amount of their Tax
Liability Deficiency (if any) until each Member has received such
distributions in the amount equal to such Member's Tax Liability
Deficiency ("Tax Liability Distributions"). In determining the
amount of distributions of Distributable Cash made to any Member
pursuant to Section 4.1, the amounts of Tax Liability
Distributions made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be treated
as an advance distribution of Distributable Cash otherwise made
to such Member pursuant to Section 4.1. Tax Liability
Distributions shall be made quarterly unless the Manager
determines that such distributions should be made either more or
less frequently.
4.3 Allocations of Profits and Losses
The Profits and Losses of the Company shall be determined
and allocated to each Member with respect to each Fiscal Year of
the Company. The determination shall be as of the end of each
Fiscal Year and shall be made within ninety (90) days after the
close of each Fiscal Year. Except as provided in Section 4.4 or
4.5 below, Profits and Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be
allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests.
4.4 Special Allocations - Qualified Income Offset
If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment,
allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), that causes such
Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of
Company income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to the Member
in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent
required by such Treasury Regulation, the Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided
that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be made if
and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in
this Article 4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.4
were not in this Agreement. It is intended that this Section 4.4
qualify and be construed as a "qualified income offset" within
the meaning of treasury Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), which
shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such
Treasury Regulation and this Section 4.4.
4.5 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c)
Solely for tax purposes, in determining each Member's
allocable taxable income or loss, depreciation, depletion,
amortization and gain or loss with respect to any contributed
property, or with respect to revalued property where the
Company's property is revalued pursuant to paragraph
(b)(2)(iv)(f) of Section 1.704-1 of the Regulations, shall be
allocated to the Members in the manner (as to revaluations, in
the same manner as) provided in Section 704(c) of the Code. The
allocation shall take into account, to the full extent required
or permitted by the Code, the difference between the adjusted
basis of the property to the Member contributing it (or, with
respect to property which has been revalued, the adjusted basis
of the property to the Company) and the fair market value of the
property determined in good faith by the Manager at the time of
its contribution or revaluation, as the case may be.
Any elections or other decisions relating to such
allocations shall be made by the Manager in any manner that
reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.
Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for purposes
of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in
any way be taken into account in computing, any Person's Capital
Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or
distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.
4.6 Maintenance of Capital Accounts
Each Member's Capital Account shall be maintained by the
Company in accordance with the capital accounting rules of
Section 704(b) of the Code as follows:
(a) The Capital Account of each Member shall be
credited with (i) the amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of
any property contributed to the Company by such Member (net of
liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company
is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of
the Code), (ii) the amount of Profits allocated to such Member
for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement and any items in the nature of income or gain that
are specially allocated to such Member, and (iii) the amount of
any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or secured by any
property distributed to such Member;
(b) The Capital Account of each Member shall be
debited by (i) the amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of
any property distributed to such Member, (ii) such Member's
allocable share of Losses and any items in the nature of
deduction or loss that are specially allocated to such Member,
and (iii) the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by
the Company or secured by any assets contributed by that Member
to the Company (to the extent of the value of the securing
assets); and
(c) In the event all or a portion of an Interest in
the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of
the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred
Interest.
(d) In determining the amount of any liability for
purposes of subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, there shall be taken
into account Code Section 752(c) and any other applicable
provisions of the Code and Regulations.
The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of
this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts
are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and
shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such
Regulations. In the event the Manager shall determine (for
example, in connection with the Company's incurring or assuming
indebtedness to an extent not anticipated as of the date hereof)
that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital
Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto are computed in order
to comply with such Regulations, the Manager may make such
modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material
effect on the amounts distributable to any Member pursuant to
Section 8.2 hereof upon the dissolution and liquidation of the
Company. The Manager also shall (i) make any adjustments that
are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the
Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of Company capital
reflected on the Company's balance sheet, as computed for book
purposes in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications
in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this
Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).
5. Management of the Company
5.1 Management by the Manager
(a) The business and affairs of the Company shall be
managed and conducted under the direction of a Member appointed
to act as the Company's manager (the "Manager"). The Manager

of an Interest. In the event that Amira ceases to be the
beneficial owner of an Interest, then Members whose aggregate
Percentage Interests represent at least 66 2/3% of the Percentage
Interests of all Members shall be entitled to elect a new
Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the powers

relating to the management of the Company shall be held on such

the Manager shall have all of the rights, powers, and obligations
of a manager of a manager-managed limited liability company
organized under the Company Act and otherwise as provided by law.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement

5.3 Obligations of the Manager; Tax Matters
(a) The Manager shall take all action which may be
necessary or appropriate for the continuation of the Company's
valid existence as a limited liability company under the laws of
the State of Delaware and of each other jurisdiction in which

(b) The Manager shall prepare or cause to be prepared
and shall cause the Company to file on or before the due date (or
any extension thereof) any federal, state, local, or foreign tax
return required to be filed by the Company. The Manager shall
cause the Company to pay any taxes payable by the Company (it
being understood that the expenses of preparation and filing of
such tax returns, and the amounts of such taxes, are expenses of
the Company, not of the Manager); provided, however, that the
Manager shall not be required to agree to payment of any tax so
long as the Manager or the Company is in good faith and by
appropriate legal proceeding contesting the validity,
applicability, or amount thereof and such contest does not
materially endanger any right or interest of the Company.
(c) The Manager shall be the "tax matters partner" of
the Company for purposes of the Code.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Manager
shall determine whether to make any and all elections for
federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes including, without
limitation, making the election under Section 754 of the Code in
accordance with applicable regulations thereunder. The Manager
shall have the right to seek or revoke any such election
(including, without limitation, the election under Section 754 of
the Code) upon the Manager's determination that such revocation
is in the best interests of the Members. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, the Manager shall have no right to
make an election under Section 301.7701-3 of the Regulations to
classify the Company for federal income tax purposes as anything
other than a partnership.
5.4 Restricted Transactions
The Company shall not perform any act that would subject any
Member to personal liability for the debts or obligations of the
Company.
5.5 Company Expenses
The Company shall bear (i) all of the amounts expended by or
on behalf of the Company for its organization, including legal
fees associated with the preparation of this Agreement, and (ii)
all expenses related to the Company's existence and operations,
including any out-of-pocket expenses related to the
investigation, acquisition, monitoring, management and sale of
investments, and the investment and management of funds, on
behalf of any Person or Persons with whom the Company has entered
into an advisory, consulting, management or similar agreement,
and ancillary expenses related to these activities, including
costs of communications, meeting expenses, taxes, custodial and
settlement fees or expenses, transaction costs (including
brokerage commissions and transaction taxes), legal and
accounting fees, costs of quotation services and other fees and
expenses paid by the Company on behalf of such Person or Persons
(the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively,
"Company Expenses"). All or any portion of the Company Expenses
may be borne or reimbursed to the Company by any Person or
Persons with whom the Company has entered into an advisory,
consulting, management or similar agreement pursuant to the terms
and conditions of such agreement. The Manager may, in its
discretion, arrange for any of the Members or any of their
Affiliates to advance funds to the Company for the payment of
Company Expenses and each such Member or Affiliate shall be
entitled to the reimbursement on demand of any funds so advanced.
5.6 Duty and Liability of the Manager
(a) The sole duty of the Manager to the Company and
the Members shall be to act in a manner the Manager believes in
good faith to be in the best interests of the Company.
(b) Neither the Manager, its Affiliates, nor any of
its respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be
liable, responsible, or accountable in damages or otherwise to
the Company or any Member for any act or omission performed or
omitted by one or more of them except for breach of the duty set
forth in Section 5.6(a), and none of such Persons shall have any
liability to the Company or any Member for such Person's good
faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of Section 5.6(a). Notwithstanding the generality of
this paragraph, this paragraph shall not limit the liability of
any Person for any intentional misconduct, for any knowing
violation of law, or for any transaction for which such Person
(or, in the case of individual appointees, the entity that
appointed such Person) received a benefit in violation or breach
of any provision of this Agreement.
(c) Neither the Manager, its Affiliates, nor any of
its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any
liability to any Member for the repayment of any amounts
outstanding in the Capital Account of a Member, including Capital
Contributions. Any such payment shall be solely from the assets
of the Company.
5.7 Indemnification of the Manager
(a) The Company shall, solely from the assets of the
Company, indemnify and hold harmless, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, any present or former Manager, its Affiliates,
and any present or former director, officer, employee or agent of
such Manager or its Affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Person")
against any claims, demands, liabilities, costs, losses, damages,
or expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs, judgments,
fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by any
such Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to any acts or
omissions or alleged acts or omissions of such Indemnified Person
that relate in any way to the Company or the business or assets
thereof; provided, however, that such Indemnified Person has not
been adjudicated in a final judgment or other final adjudication
(not subject to appeal) to have breached the duty set forth in
Section 5.6(a) or to have engaged in intentional misconduct, a
knowing violation of law, or any transaction for which such
Indemnified Person (or in the case of individual appointees, the
entity that appointed such Indemnified Person) received a benefit
in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement.
(b) The Company shall pay expenses (including
attorneys' fees and costs) as they are incurred by an Indemnified
Person in connection with any action, claim, or proceeding that
such Indemnified Person asserts in good faith to be subject to
the indemnification provisions of this Section 5.7, upon receipt
of an undertaking from such Indemnified Person to repay all
amounts so paid by the Company to the extent that it is
adjudicated in a final judgment or other final adjudication (not
subject to appeal) that such Indemnified Person is not entitled
to be indemnified by the Company under this Agreement.
(c) The Manager, notwithstanding any apparent conflict
of interest, and subject only to the duty expressly set forth in
Section 5.6(a) hereof, shall have the power to, and is hereby
authorized and directed to, cause the Company to comply with the
indemnification and expense payment provisions hereof. If a
claim for indemnification or payment of expenses hereunder is not
paid in full within ten (10) days after a written claim therefor
has been received by the Company, the claimant may file suit to
recover the unpaid amount and, if successful in whole or in part,
shall be entitled to be indemnified for the expense of
prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Company shall
have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to
the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under this
Agreement.
(d) The indemnification provided or granted pursuant
to this Section 5.7 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which any Person seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any law, agreement, or otherwise, either as to
actions in such Person's official capacity or as to actions in
another capacity while holding such office.
(e) In no event shall a Member be subject to personal
liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth
in this Agreement.

The Manager may, at its discretion, appoint officers of
the Company. The officers of the Company may consist of all or
any of the following: a President, one or more Vice Presidents, a
Treasurer and a Secretary or such other officers as the Manager
may prescribe from time to time. The officers shall exercise
such powers and perform such duties as are prescribed by the
Manager. Any number of offices may be held by the same person,
as the Manager may determine.
5.9 Term of Officers
The officers of the Company (if any) shall hold office
for the term for which they were appointed and until their
successors are elected and qualified; provided, however, that any
officer may be removed with or without cause by the Manager.

except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Company
Act.

A Member, as such, shall have no power to represent,
act for, sign for, or bind the Company. The Members hereby

other Member.

(b) Each Member agrees that it shall, upon request of
the Manager, execute and deliver such certificates or other

the jurisdictions in which the Company is doing business.
(c) Any purported Transfer of an Interest (or any
portion thereof or any interest therein) which is made in advance
of Notification thereof to the Company in accordance with Section

declared to be null and void and of no force or effect
whatsoever.
(d) Each Member agrees that it will, prior to the time
the other Members approve the proposed Transfer of an Interest

7.2 Assignees
(a) The Company shall not recognize for any purpose
any purported Transfer of all or any fraction of the Interest of
a Member unless the provisions of this Article 7 shall have been

Notification conforming to the requirements of this Article 7 has
been received by the Company and accepted by the Manager.
(e) A Person who is the Assignee of all or any portion
of the Interest of a Member, but does not become a Substituted
Member with respect thereto and desires to make a further

the same manner as any Member desiring to make a Transfer of its
Interest.
7.3 Substituted Members
(a) No Member shall have the right to substitute in
its place any Assignee of all or any portion of such Member's
Interest. Any such Assignee shall be admitted to the Company as

Section 5.2. The Members hereby agree that the Manager may, on
behalf of each Member and on behalf of the Company, cause Exhibit

appropriately amended in the event of such admission.
(b) Each Substituted Member, as a condition to its
admission as a Member, shall execute and acknowledge such
instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager,
as the Manager deems necessary or desirable to effectuate such
admission and to confirm the agreement of the Substituted Member
to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement
with respect to the Interest acquired. All reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the Company in
this connection shall be borne by such Substituted Member.

Person by reason of or arising from any actual or alleged
misrepresentation, or misstatement or omission of facts, by such
Member or its transferee in connection with any Transfer or
purported Transfer of such Member's Interest (or any portion
thereof or interest therein), or the admission of a Substituted
Member to the Company in respect thereof.
7.5 Incapacity of a Member
Upon the Incapacity of a Member, the trustee or receiver of
its estate shall have all the rights of a Substituted Member for
the purpose of settling or managing the estate of such Member and

its Interest and to join with such Assignee in satisfying
conditions precedent to such Assignee becoming a Substituted
Member.
8. Dissolution; Liquidation
8.1 Dissolution
(a) The Company shall be dissolved upon the written
consent of the Members holding at least 66 2/3% of the Percentage
Interests of all Members.
(b) The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion,
bankruptcy or dissolution of any Member or the occurrence of any
other event that terminates the continued membership of any
Member shall not cause the Company to be dissolved or its affairs
to be wound up, and upon the occurrence of any such event, the
Company shall be continued without dissolution, unless within 90
days following the occurrence of such event, the Members
unanimously agree in writing to dissolve the Company.

liquidation of the Company has been completed in accordance with
Section 8.2.

is appointed by the Manager (reference in this Section 8.2 to the
Manager to be construed hereafter as reference as well to such
liquidating trustee), shall, at the expense of the Company, wind
up the affairs of the Company and, in its sole discretion,
liquidate all or any part of the assets of the Company. The
Manager shall determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or
other disposition of the Company's assets for the purpose of
obtaining, in its opinion, fair value for such assets, and the
time, manner and terms of any distribution of assets provided for
in Section 8.2(b), it being expressly recognized that deferral of
a distribution, or distribution of all or any portion of the
assets of the Company in kind, rather than in cash, may be
appropriate by reason of the nature of the assets or the
restrictions under which they are held.

Members as provided in Section 4.5 for any gains or losses
realized or deemed realized with respect to the disposition of
Company assets or with respect to Company assets to be
distributed in kind, the assets of the Company shall be paid out
in the following order:
(i) first, to pay all expenses of liquidation and
winding up;
(ii) second, to the payment and discharge of all
of the Company's debts and obligations to creditors other than
Members which are also creditors of the Company;
(iii) third, to the payment and discharge of all
of the Company's debts and obligations to Members which are also
creditors of the Company;
(iv) fourth, to fund reserves for contingent or
other potential liabilities of the Company (whether or not
specifically foreseen) other than in respect of items listed in
subsequent clauses of this Section 8.2(b), to the extent deemed
reasonable by the Manager; and
(v) fifth, to the Members in accordance with and
to the extent of the positive balances of their Capital Accounts.
(c) When the Manager has complied with the foregoing
liquidation plan, the Manager shall cause the Company, to the
extent required by applicable law, to execute, acknowledge, and
cause to be filed a certificate of cancellation of the Company.
(d) Any reserves established by the Manager pursuant
to Section 8.2(b)(iv) shall be held for so long as the Manager

purpose of paying contingent or other potential liabilities or
obligations and shall thereafter be distributed in accordance
with Section 8.2(b).
