OVERVIEW

Prior to August 2002, YouthStream Media Networks, Inc. ("YouthStream" or the "Company") had two reporting segments: media and retail. The media segment represented the Company's media, marketing and promotional services provided to advertisers by Network Event Theater, Inc. ("NET") and American Passage Media, Inc. ("American Passage"). In August 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities from this segment to Cass Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of Alloy, Inc., for a purchase price of $7 million in cash. The Company discontinued any remaining media operations at such time. The retail segment consisted of on-campus, online and retail store poster sales provided by its Beyond the Wall subsidiary. In February 2004, the Company sold substantially all of the assets, subject to certain liabilities, of this segment and discontinued its operation (see below). As of September 30, 2004, the Company did not have any revenue-generating business operations.

The Company's management intends to continue efforts to settle the Company's outstanding obligations and minimize operating costs. In addition, the Company's management is exploring various strategic alternatives, including the acquisition of new business opportunities, which may be from related or unrelated parties. However, there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful. The Company may finance any acquisitions through a combination of debt and/or equity securities.

In July 2004, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire a steel mini-mill located in Ashland, Kentucky (see below). If the Company is able to complete this transaction, the Company expects to utilize all or most of its available cash resources to fund such endeavor.

The Company believes that its current available cash resources will be adequate to fund its current limited level of operations through its fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. However, to the extent the Company's estimates and assumptions are inaccurate and/or the Company is unable to successfully settle outstanding obligations at reduced amounts, the Company may not have sufficient cash resources to fund its ongoing obligations. In such event, the Company may be required to seek other funding and/or consider a formal or informal restructuring or reorganization.

In July 2003, the Company, pursuant to a board resolution dated June 27, 2003, changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to September 30. The presentation of fiscal year 2003 contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K represents the twelve month period October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003. The transition period for the three month period July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 (the "Transition Period") is reported separately in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

DEBT RESTRUCTURING

In January 2003, the Company reached an agreement with the holders of all of its and its Network Event Theater subsidiary's outstanding notes (NET Notes, YSTM Notes and YSTM 2 Note), in the aggregate principal amount of $18,000,000, to cancel those notes. In exchange for cancellation of all of the principal due on the old notes, including accrued interest of $2,062,000, the note holders received in aggregate $4,500,000 in cash, redeemable preferred stock with a face value of $4,000,000 and 3,985,000 shares of common stock, valued at $255,000, and $4,000,000 aggregate principal amount of promissory notes issued by the Company's retail subsidiary, Beyond the Wall, Inc., formerly secured by the Company's pledge of all of its stock in Beyond the Wall.

At the closing of the January 2003 debt restructuring, all of the Company's previous directors and officers resigned, and three new directors were appointed. Jonathan V. Diamond, who previously had been a director and interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Hal G. Byer and Robert Scott Fritz were appointed as directors of the Company. Mr. Diamond was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Robert N. Weingarten was appointed as Chief Financial Officer.

In May 2003, the Company issued options to the three new directors to purchase an aggregate of 700,000 shares of common stock exercisable at the fair market value of $0.04 per share for a period of seven years. In addition, each of the three new directors paid $2,500 ($0.04 per share) in cash to acquire options from the holder of the shares of preferred stock that were issued in the January 2003 restructuring to purchase 62,500 shares of such holder's preferred stock, exercisable at $0.36 per share. In July 2004, Mr. Diamond irrevocably waived any and all rights related to this option.

The terms and conditions of the January 2003 debt restructuring agreement qualified as a troubled debt restructuring for accounting purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 15 "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings". In determining the proper accounting treatment, the Company evaluated the nature of the economic consequences of each of the three separate transactions for purposes of determining the gain, if any, in connection with the extinguishment of the NET Notes, YSTM Notes and YSTM 2 Note in accordance with SFAS No. 15.

The cancellation of the NET Notes qualified as a full debt settlement whereby in exchange for the extinguishment of the $5,000,000 note and cancellation of accrued interest, the holders received $3,000,000 cash. As of the settlement date, the adjusted carrying value of the NET Notes, net of accrued interest, unamortized original issue discount and unamortized closing costs, was $5,448,000. The settlement resulted in a gain of $2,448,000.

The cancellation of the YSTM Notes was accounted for as a combination of a partial debt settlement and a continuation of debt with modified terms. In exchange for the extinguishment of the YSTM Notes, the holder received $1,500,000 cash, 3,486,875 shares of common stock with a fair value of $223,000, 1,000,000 shares of 4% redeemable preferred stock with a face value of $4,000,000, including cumulative dividends, totaling $5,269,000, due December 31, 2010, and a $3,000,000 promissory note bearing interest at 4% per annum with principal and cumulative interest due December 31, 2010. As of the settlement date, the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM Notes, net of accrued interest, unamortized original issue discount and unamortized closing costs, was $11,251,000. After adjusting for the fair value of the cash and common stock exchanged, the carrying value of the YSTM Notes was $9,528,000. For purposes of determining the gain on the extinguishment of the YSTM Notes, the redeemable preferred stock was accounted for as a debt instrument given the mandatory redemption features of the security. The issuance of the $3,000,000 promissory note and the 1,000,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock constituted a continuation of debt with modified terms. Given that the undiscounted future value of the promissory note and the redeemable preferred stock, including accrued interest and cumulative dividends, was less than the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM Notes extinguished, the Company recognized a gain totaling $306,000 and recorded the value of the promissory note and the redeemable preferred stock at the undiscounted future value of $3,953,000 and $5,269,000, respectively, with no interest expense or accretion in value to be recognized over the remaining life of the promissory note and preferred stock.

The cancellation of the YSTM 2 Note was accounted for as a combination of a partial debt settlement and a continuation of debt with modified terms. In exchange for the extinguishment of the YSTM 2 Note, the holder received 498,125 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $32,000 and a $1,000,000 promissory note bearing interest at 4% per annum, with principal and accrued interest due December 31, 2010. As of the settlement date, the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note, net of accrued interest, unamortized original issue discount and unamortized closing costs, was $991,000. After adjusting for the fair value of the common shares exchanged, the carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note was $960,000. The issuance of the $1,000,000 promissory note constituted a continuation of debt with modified terms. Given that the undiscounted future value of the promissory note, including principal and interest, was greater than the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note extinguished, the Company recognized no gain. The promissory note was revalued at the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note surrendered, resulting in an imputed discount of $41,000.

In total, the Company recognized a gain from the troubled debt restructuring of approximately $2,800,000. The gain was classified as part of continuing operations in accordance with SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2000". The gain from the transaction resulted in a reduction in basic and diluted loss per common share of $0.07 for the year ended September 30, 2003.

During June 2003, the Company amended the original provisions of the $4,000,000 of promissory notes issued in conjunction with the January 24, 2003 restructuring to provide for the following:


a.	Beyond the Wall was replaced by the Company as the issuer of the notes, and was released from any liability with respect to the notes.


b.	The note holders agreed to convert the notes from secured to unsecured, and to release their security interest in all of the outstanding common stock of Beyond the Wall.


c.	The note holders agreed to delete all provisions in the notes requiring the issuer of the notes to make mandatory prepayments based on the occurrence of certain events.

The note holders agreed to delete provisions in the notes prohibiting the issuer from: (i) incurring any indebtedness for borrowed money; (ii) selling, or entering into any agreement to sell, all or substantially all of the assets or all or substantially all of the capital stock of the issuer; or (iii) entering into any transaction with an affiliate, other than transactions with the Company, Network Event Theater, Inc. and/or their successors, that have fair and reasonable terms which are no less favorable to the issuer than would be obtained in a comparable arms-length transaction with a person or entity that is not an affiliate.

RECENT EVENTS

The Company underwent significant changes during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 as described below:

Sale of Retail Segment

Effective February 25, 2004, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Beyond the Wall, Inc. ("BTW"), sold substantially all of its assets and operations to a group unaffiliated with the Company (which included certain former management of BTW), for $1,920,000, consisting of a cash payment of $820,000 and a subordinated secured promissory note (the "Note") for $1,100,000, with interest at 10% per annum, due October 31, 2006. The buyer had the right to make certain optional principal pre-payments on the Note by June 30, 2004, which would result in the principal balance of the Note being adjusted downward, in excess of such principal pre-payments, based on an agreed-upon sliding scale as set forth in the Note.

On April 30, 2004, the buyer made an optional principal pre-payment on the Note of $400,000. Accordingly, under the provisions of the sale agreement, the buyer received a credit of $107,000 against the Note (in excess of the $400,000 payment), as well as an additional $150,000 back-end credit on the Note.

The Company initially recognized a loss of $565,000 with respect to this sale before taking into consideration the effect of the $400,000 principal pre-payment made on April 30, 2004. Inclusive of such payment, the effect of the accelerated payment credit and the back-end credit resulted in an additional loss of $257,000, which decreased the carrying value of the note receivable from $1,100,000 to $843,000 and increased the loss on the BTW sale from $565,000 to $822,000. The loss on the BTW sale was reported as a loss on the disposal of discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2004. As a result of the sale, the retail segment operations were discontinued during the year ended September 30, 2004.

Investment in KES Holdings

In September 2003, the Company announced that it made an investment of $125,000 for a 1.00% membership interest in KES Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("KES Holdings"), which was formed to acquire certain assets of Kentucky Electric Steel, Inc., a Delaware company ("KES"), consisting of a non-operating steel mini-mill located in Ashland, Kentucky. On September 2, 2003, KES Holdings, through its subsidiary, KES Acquisition Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("KES Acquisition"), completed the acquisition of the steel-mini-mill pursuant to Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code for cash consideration of $2,650,000. KES ceased production on or about December 16, 2002 and filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on February 5, 2003. The steel mini-mill had been in operation for approximately 50 years, and was refurbished by KES Acquisition subsequent to its acquisition. The refurbished steel mini-mill has been generating revenues since early 2004.

In addition to the Company, investors in KES Holdings include, among others, affiliates of Libra Securities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and an NASD member ("Libra"), consisting of Libra's parent entity, certain employees of Libra and the Ravich Revocable Trust of 1989 (Jess M. Ravich, Trustee) (the "Ravich Trust"). Robert Scott Fritz, one of the directors of the Company, is also an investor in KES Holdings. Jess M. Ravich, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Libra and the principal stockholder of Libra's parent entity, is the manager of KES Holdings, but does not have a controlling equity interest in KES Holdings. Hal G. Byer, a director of the Company, is a Senior Vice President of Libra, and by virtue of his employment with Libra, Mr. Byer has an economic interest in the investment in KES Holdings made by Libra's parent entity. The contributions of the members of KES Holdings were used in part to fund the purchase price of the steel mini-mill, with the balance used for start-up costs, working capital purposes and payment of deferred maintenance of the steel mini-mill.

Effective July 18, 2004, the Company entered into a preliminary letter of intent with KES Holdings to acquire KES Acquisition. In conjunction with the proposed acquisition, the Company will form a new subsidiary in which it will own 80.01% of the total outstanding common stock and 100% of the voting common stock, and will capitalize that subsidiary with $500,000. In connection with the acquisition, the new subsidiary is expected to issue to the owners of KES Acquisition in exchange for 100% of their equity interest in KES Acquisition (i) $25,000,000 of its non-convertible non-voting redeemable preferred stock with a redemption price equal to $25,000,000 and a 13% annual cumulative dividend and (ii) senior subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000 with an annual interest rate of 8%. As part of this transaction, the remaining 19.99% common stock interest in the new subsidiary will be owned by the former owners of KES Acquisition.

The letter of intent is subject to, among other conditions, negotiation, preparation and execution of definitive transaction documents, preparation of consolidated financial statements, compliance with state and federal securities laws and regulations, and receipt of requisite corporate approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2005. However, as a result of the foregoing uncertainties, there can be no assurances that the transaction will be completed. Furthermore, even if the transaction is completed, there can be no assurances that the future operations of the steel mini-mill will be successful.

Through September 30, 2004, the Company incurred $175,000 in professional fees with respect to this transaction, which the Company has presented as deferred costs in the consolidated balance sheet

at September 30, 2004. These costs will be accounted for as part of the purchase consideration if and when this transaction is completed. If the Company does not complete this transaction, these costs will be charged to operations in the period that the Company's efforts to complete this transaction are terminated.

The Ravich Trust currently owns 1,000,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock and 1,860,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Ravich Trust also owns warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company exercisable through August 31, 2008, 400,000 of which are exercisable at $0.11 per share and 100,000 of which are exercisable at $0.16 per share.

In May 2003, the Company's three directors who were appointed at the closing of the January 2003 debt restructuring each paid $2,500 ($0.04 per share) to acquire an option from the Ravich Trust to purchase 62,500 shares at $0.36 per share of the Company's preferred stock issued to the Ravich Trust in January 2003, exercisable until December 31, 2006 or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events. In July 2004, Mr. Diamond irrevocably waived any and all rights related to his option.

MEDIA BUSINESS

As a result of the sale of its media segment effective August 5, 2002, the Company did not operate this segment during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004.

RETAIL BUSINESS

As described above, in February 2004, the Company sold the assets and operations of its Beyond the Wall subsidiary. The Beyond the Wall subsidiary was in the business of selling decorative wall posters, frames and related items to teenagers and young adults at on-campus sales events, through its chain of retail stores, and via the Internet. Beyond the Wall purchased merchandise from major vendors located primarily in the United Kingdom and the United States and served as a distributor of posters and did not retain any licensing rights to the poster titles. In fiscal 2004, the Company's retail segment generated 100% of its operating revenues, which were classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.

PERSONNEL

As of September 30, 2004, the Company had three persons, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, performing services dedicated primarily to general corporate matters, including management of the Company, maintenance of the corporate entity, review of strategic options, acquisition negotiations, and settlement of debts and obligations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

At September 30, 2003, the Company's real estate properties resided within its Beyond the Wall subsidiary. Beyond the Wall owned a warehouse containing office space in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, where the Company's retail operations were headquartered.

As of September 30, 2003, Beyond the Wall was a party to leases for retail stores operating in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Bloomington, Indiana; Burlington, Vermont; Chicago, Illinois; East Lansing, Michigan; Hadley, Massachusetts; Ithaca, New York; Lawrence, Kansas; Lexington, Kentucky; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; New Hope, Pennsylvania; Newark, Delaware; New York, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Saint Louis, Missouri; Taylor, Michigan; Valley Mall, Virginia; and Washington, D.C.

As of September 30, 2003, Beyond the Wall had vacated non-performing stores in Augusta, Georgia; Berkeley, California, Charlottesville, Virginia; Chesapeake, Virginia; Cincinnati, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Nanuet, New York; and Yorktown Heights, New York, in advance of the termination dates for the leases governing these stores, and was seeking to negotiate settlements of these liabilities where possible.

As the result of the sale of the retail business to Clive Corporation, Inc. and 1903 West Main Street Realty Management, LLC in February 2004, all of the real estate properties and retail store leases were transferred to the buyer.

At September 30, 2004, the Company no longer owned any real estate or had any leases.

At September 30, 2004, approximately $432,000 in lease obligations were classified as current liabilities. These leases relate to obligations for which the Company is still liable, although the premises are no longer occupied or assets to which they apply were previously written off. Of the total, approximately $141,000 applies to continuing operations, and approximately $291,000 relates to discontinued operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

During fiscal 2003, the Company was involved in an arbitration filed in New York by the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer seeking damages for alleged breach of his employment agreement, among other things. The Company reached an agreement in October 2003 to settle the dispute for nominal consideration.

The Company and/or its former subsidiary, Beyond the Wall, are also defendants in various other lawsuits and claims from various trade creditors and former landlords seeking damages aggregating approximately $300,000. Certain of these claims are the responsibility of the buyer of the Beyond the Wall business. The Company evaluates its response in each situation based on the particular facts and circumstances of a claim. Accordingly, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time and may ultimately result in judgments and liens against the Company, its real estate or its other assets. The Company has made sufficient accruals for the exposure related to such matters that have been deemed probable and reasonably estimable at September 30, 2004.

Given the Company's current financial situation, the costs of defending these proceedings and diversion of management's attention to these matters, the outcome of such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or operating results, including its ability to restructure its debts without seeking bankruptcy protection or being the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy petition, or its ability to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on September 27, 2004, at which the stockholders of the Company approved the re-election of Jonathan V. Diamond and Robert Scott Fritz to the Board of Directors and ratified the appointment of Weinberg & Company, P.A. as the Company's independent auditors. The tabulation of the votes cast at such meeting was as follows:


1. Election of Directors	Votes For	Votes Withheld

As of December 31, 2004, there were approximately 226 holders of record of the Company's common stock. To date, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock. The payment by the Company of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on the Company's earnings, if any, its capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. The board of directors does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future but instead intends to retain earnings for use in the Company's business operations.

During October 2003, the Company issued an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to Jonathan V. Diamond, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, exercisable through October 2010 at $0.26 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of issuance.

On June 3, 2004, the Board of Directors appointed Patrick J. Panzarella as a director of the Company and granted him an option to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock exercisable at the closing common stock price on the date of grant of $0.14 per share for a period of seven years.

ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability to discharge its liabilities and restructure its debt, changing consumer tastes and general economic conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances.

As a result of the change in 2003 in the Company's fiscal year end from June 30 to September 30, the following financial analysis compares the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004, September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002.

Overview:

In December 2000, the Company discontinued the operations of CommonPlaces, LLC ("CommonPlaces"), sixdegrees, inc. ("sixdegrees"), CollegeWeb.com, Inc. ("CollegeWeb"), and Invino Corporation ("Invino"). In December 2001, the Company discontinued its Teen.com operations and closed its Hotstamp college business. In August 2002, the Company sold substantially all of its media assets and assigned certain liabilities of its NET and American Passage subsidiaries to Alloy, Inc. and ceased operating the media segment.

In February 2004, the Company sold the assets and operations of its Beyond the Wall subsidiary and ceased operating the retail segment. Beyond the Wall was engaged in the sale of decorative wall posters through on-campus sales events, retail stores and internet sales, primarily to teenagers and young adults. Beyond the Wall operated 17 stores in 12 states, plus Washington, D.C., throughout the East and mid-West, as well as a warehouse and distribution center in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Beyond the Wall's operations have been presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

The consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, and for the three months ended September 30, 2002, have been restated to reflect discontinued operations as a result of the businesses disposed of through September 30, 2004, including the sale of the media segment on August 5, 2002 and the retail segment on February 25, 2004. Accordingly, all of the Company's operations have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and June 30, 2002, and the three months ended September 30, 2002.

Going Concern:

The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since its inception. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $343,834,000, a stockholders' deficiency of $13,065,000, a working capital deficiency of $3,453,000, and a net loss and negative cash flows from operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2004 of $2,366,000 and $901,000, respectively, and has insufficient capital to fund all of its obligations. In August and September 2002, the Company defaulted on approximately $18,000,000 of its long-term debt. In addition, during the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company sold its remaining operating business, as a result of which the Company did not have any revenue-generating business operations at September 30, 2004. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company's management intends to continue efforts to settle the Company's outstanding obligations and minimize operating costs. The Company believes that its current available cash

resources will be adequate to fund its current limited level of operations through its fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. However, to the extent the Company's estimates and assumptions are inaccurate and/or the Company is unable to successfully settle outstanding obligations at reduced amounts, the Company may not have sufficient cash resources to fund its ongoing obligations. In such event, the Company may be required to seek other funding and/or consider a formal or informal restructuring or reorganization.

As a result of the sale of the assets and operations of Beyond the Wall in February 2004, the Company did not have any revenue-generating business operations at September 30, 2004. In July 2004, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire a steel mini-mill located in Ashland, Kentucky. If the Company is able to complete this transaction, the Company expects to utilize all or most of its available cash resources to fund such endeavor, and will therefore need to obtain additional operating capital to fund corporate general and administrative expenses either through internal or external resources.

The Company's management may also consider various strategic alternatives in the future, including the acquisition of new business opportunities, which may be from related or unrelated parties. However, there can be no assurances that such efforts will ultimately be successful. The Company may finance any acquisitions through a combination of debt and/or equity securities.

Critical Accounting Policies:

The Company prepared the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

The following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements.

Impairment of Assets

The Company periodically evaluates its non-current assets for potential impairment indicators. The Company's judgments regarding the potential impairment are based on legal factors, market conditions and operational performance indicators, among others. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that such assets (primarily investments, notes receivable and fixed assets) are impaired.

Income Taxes

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be credited to operations in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to operations in the period such determination was made.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following presents the results of operations of the Company's Beyond the Wall subsidiary, the assets and operations of which were sold in February 2004, as a discontinued operation.

YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AS COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

For the year ended September 30, 2004, corporate general and administrative expenses were $1,070,000, as compared to $2,564,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003. The decrease of

$1,494,000 was due to various cost reductions, including reduced corporate personnel and office expenses, in 2004 as compared to 2003.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, depreciation and amortization expense was $20,000, as compared to $20,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, interest income was $50,000, as compared to $36,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, interest expense was $42,000, as compared to $1,053,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003. The decrease of $1,011,000 was primarily related to the decrease in interest-bearing debt as a result of the debt restructuring in January 2003.

The Company recognized a gain on debt settlement of $2,800,000 during the year ended September 30, 2003 as a result of the January 2003 debt restructuring. There was no similar transaction in 2004.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $88,000, as compared to a provision for income taxes of $30,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, as a result of the aforementioned factors, the loss from continuing operations was $994,000, as compared to $831,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, the loss from discontinued operations was $550,000, as compared to $2,997,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003. The loss from discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2004 of $550,000 consists of an operating loss of $1,050,000, offset by a gain resulting from the reduction of a prior accrual with respect to the closing of retail stores. The reduction in the accrual was a result of the Company reaching settlements with landlords below what had been originally accrued.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company had a loss on disposal of discontinued operations, which related to Beyond the Wall, of $822,000. For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company had a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $700,000 relating to the sale of a patent in September 2003.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, as a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company had a net loss of $2,366,000, as compared to a net loss of $3,128,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003.

YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AS COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

For the year ended September 30, 2003, corporate general and administrative expenses were $2,564,000, as compared to $6,134,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The decrease of $3,570,000 was due to overhead savings attributable to sale of the media business in August 2002 and the closing of the New York City corporate headquarters in October 2002, as well as the change in management and substantial layoffs and other cost reductions implemented by new management.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, depreciation and amortization expense was $20,000, as compared to $209,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, as a result of the write-off of fixed assets located at the New York City corporate headquarters, which was closed in October 2002.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, interest income was $36,000, as compared to $450,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002, as a result of a reduction in interest-bearing cash balances.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, interest expense was $1,053,000, as compared to $3,068,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002. The decrease of $2,015,000 was primarily related to the decrease in interest-bearing debt as a result of the debt restructuring in January 2003.

The Company recognized a gain on debt settlement of $2,800,000 during the year ended September 30, 2003 as a result of the January 2003 debt restructuring.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes was $30,000, as compared to $167,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, as a result of the aforementioned factors, the loss from continuing operations was $831,000, as compared to $9,128,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, the loss from discontinued operations was $2,997,000, as compared to $12,261,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company had a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $700,000 relating to the sale of a patent in September 2003. For the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company had a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $877,000.

For the year ended September 30, 2003, as a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company had a net loss of $3,128,000, as compared to a net loss of $20,512,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and debt, and the sale or liquidation of its previous operating businesses. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $675,000 in cash, an increase of $144,000 as compared to September 30, 2003. The Company has never been profitable and as currently configured expects to continue to incur losses subsequent to September 30, 2004. Since the sale of the assets and operations of Beyond the Wall in February 2004, the Company has not had any revenue-generating business operations.

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's independent auditors, in their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, have included an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company's recurring losses and accumulated deficit, working capital deficiency and negative cash flow, among other factors, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may find it necessary to rely upon financing from the issuance of debt and/or equity securities to be able to sustain its operations, acquire or develop new operations, and fund its ongoing obligations. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional capital under acceptable terms or conditions. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues from a new business opportunity to meet the Company's ongoing obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company used $901,000 of cash in operating activities related primarily to its net loss in 2004 of $2,366,000, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $550,000, a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $822,000, and a net change in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations of $(207,000). During the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company used $1,509,000 of cash in operating activities related primarily to its net loss in 2003 of $3,128,000, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $2,997,000, a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $700,000, and a net change in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations of $2,519,000. During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company used $17,703,000 in cash in operating activities related primarily to its net loss in 2002 of $20,512,000, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $12,261,000, a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $877,000, and a net change in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations of $(12,772,000).

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Company received payments aggregating $1,220,000 from the sale of the assets and operations of Beyond the Wall (see "ITEM 1. BUSINESS"). Remaining scheduled principal payments with respect to the note that the Company received from the sale of the assets and operations of Beyond the Wall at September 30, 2004 totaling $443,000 are shown below. The Company received the October 31, 2004 scheduled principal payment of $198,000, plus accrued interest of $49,000, on a timely basis.

October 31, 2004 – $198,000
October 31, 2005 – $198,000
October 31, 2006 – $ 47,000

For the year ended September 30, 2004, net cash generated by investing activities was $1,045,000, consisting of the proceeds of $1,220,000 from the sale of the assets and operations of Beyond the Wall, offset by $175,000 of deferred costs with respect to the KES Holdings transaction. For the year ended September 30, 2003, net cash generated by investing activities was $575,000, consisting of the $700,000 of proceeds from the sale of a patent, offset by an investment of $125,000 in KES Holdings. For the year ended June 30, 2002, net cash generated by investing activities was $5,546,000, consisting of the sale of $5,655,000 of investments in marketable debt securities, offset by $109,000 for capital expenditures.

For the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company did not generate or use any cash in financing transactions. For the year ended September 30, 2003, net cash used in financing activities was $5,018,000, consisting of $4,970,000 for the repayment of long-term debt (primarily in connection with the January 2003 debt restructuring, which utilized $4,500,000 of cash) and $48,000 for the payment of capitalized lease obligations. The Company also borrowed and repaid $250,000 from related parties during the year ended September 30, 2003. For the year ended June 30, 2002, net cash used in financing activities was $2,331,000, consisting of the repayment of long-term debt of $1,739,000 and the repurchase of common stock of $592,000.

Principal Commitments:

At September 30, 2004, the Company's principal commitments consisted of the following obligations:


	(amounts in thousands)

At September 30, 2004, the Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. The impact from the adoption of SFAS No. 150 for the year ended September 30, 2003 resulted in the reclassification of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock from the mezzanine section of the balance sheet to non-current liabilities.

permit it to operate on a standalone basis. For entities identified as a VIE, FIN 46R sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment of which party to the VIE (if any) bears a majority of the exposure to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46R also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in VIEs that are deemed significant, even if consolidation is not required. The Company is not currently participating in, or invested in any VIEs, as defined in FIN 46R. Accordingly, the implementation of the provisions of FIN 46R did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

ITEM 8.	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Information with respect to this item appears as a separate section following Item 15 of this document. Such information is incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 9.	CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Effective June 27, 2003, the Company terminated Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") as its independent accountant. Effective July 26, 2003, the Company engaged Weinberg & Company, P.A. as its new independent accountant. The termination of EY and the retention of Weinberg were approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

EY audited the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002. EY's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles; however, the report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 contained a modification paragraph that expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with EY on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY would have caused EY to make reference to the matter in their report. There were no "reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Prior to Weinberg being retained as the independent accountant for the Company, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with Weinberg regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided that Weinberg concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined at Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or a reportable event as defined at Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


ITEM 9A.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,

summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its principal executive and financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, the Company's principal executive and financial officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could have significantly affected those controls subsequent to the date of the Company's most recent evaluation.


ITEM 9B.	OTHER INFORMATION

The Company did not have any reportable events during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 which were be required to be filed on Form 8-K which were not so reported.

Compensation Committee

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

Scope of the Committee's Work

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews and approves the Company's executive compensation philosophy and policies and applies those policies to the compensation of executive officers. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Byer and Fritz. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation programs for the Company's executive officers should reflect the Company's performance and the value created for the Company's stockholders. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that the compensation programs should support the short-term and long-term strategic goals and values of the Company and should reward individual contribution to the Company's success. The Compensation Committee ensures that the executive compensation policies and plans provide the necessary total remuneration program to properly align the Company's performance with the interests of the Company's stockholders through the use of competitive and equitable executive compensation in a balanced and reasonable manner, for both the short and long-term.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Policies

The Company's overall compensation philosophy is to provide a total compensation package that is competitive and enables the Company to attract, motivate, reward and retain key executives and other employees who have the skills and experience necessary to promote the short and long-term financial performance and growth of the Company.

The Compensation Committee recognizes the critical role of its executive officers in the significant growth and success of the Company to date and its future prospects. Accordingly, the Company's executive compensation policies are designed to (1) align the interests of executive officers and stockholders by encouraging stock ownership by executive officers and by making a significant portion of executive compensation dependent upon the Company's financial performance; (2) provide compensation that will attract and retain talented professionals; (3) reward individual results through base salary, annual cash bonuses, long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options and various other benefits; and (4) manage compensation based on skill, knowledge, effort and responsibility needed to perform a particular job successfully.

In its recommendations on salary, bonuses and long-term incentive compensation for its executive officers, the Compensation Committee takes into account both the position and expertise of a particular executive, as well as the Compensation Committee's understanding of the competitive compensation for similarly situated executives in the Company's industry and situation.

Executive Compensation

Base Salary. Salaries for executive officers for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 were generally determined on an individual basis by evaluating each executive's scope of responsibility, performance, prior experience and salary history, as well as the salaries for similar positions at comparable companies.

Bonus. The amount of cash bonuses paid to executives is partially based upon the financial results of the Company, personal and team objectives and the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. No bonuses were paid to the Company's executive officers during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2004.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

The Compensation Committee believes that equity-based compensation in the form of stock options links the interests of executives with the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders and encourages executives to remain in the Company's employ. The Company grants stock options in

accordance with its stock option plan. Grants are awarded based on a number of factors, including the individual's level of responsibility, the amount and term of options already held by the individual, the individual's contributions to the achievement of the Company's financial and strategic objectives, and industry practices and norms.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

Mr. Diamond has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer since January 30, 2003. The Compensation Committee considered various matters in determining Mr. Diamond's compensation, including his general business knowledge and experience, particularly as its relates to the management of businesses in various stages of start-up, development, restructuring and/or sale, his knowledge and background of the Company's operations, the financial condition and financial resources of the Company, the skills necessary to lead the continuing restructuring of the Company, the ability to design and implement a long-term strategy as well as a short-term operating plan, and the time necessary to direct and manage the Company's business affairs. The Compensation Committee also considered the Company's general financial condition, short-term outlook and its limited working capital resources. The Compensation Committee took all of these factors into account in establishing Mr. Diamond's base compensation as $120,000 per year, subject, however to review if and when the Company completes the acquisition of a new business.

During August 2003, the Company's subsidiary, Beyond the Wall, Inc., borrowed $100,000 from each of Jonathan V. Diamond and the Ravich Trust, which was used to fund the operations of Beyond the Wall, Inc. The loans, which were due December 31, 2003, were repaid in September 2003 and were secured by real estate owned by Beyond the Wall, Inc. As partial consideration for the loans, the Company issued to each lender warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock, exercisable through August 31, 2008 at $0.11 per share, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the date of the loans. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and had an aggregate fair value of $88,000, which would have been recognized ratably over the term of the loan. Since the loan was repaid before September 30, 2003, however, the entire $88,000 was recognized as interest expense with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

During August 2003, the Company also borrowed $25,000 from each of Jonathan V. Diamond and the Ravich Trust, which was used to fund, in part, the Company's investment in KES Holdings (see below).

The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and had an aggregate fair value of $32,000, which would have been recognized ratably over the term of the loan. Since the loan was repaid before September 30, 2003, however, the entire $32,000 was recognized as interest expense with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital

Investment in KES Holdings

In addition to the Company, investors in KES Holdings include, among others, affiliates of Libra Securities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a broker-dealer registered with the

Securities and Exchange Commission and an NASD member ("Libra"), consisting of Libra's parent entity, certain employees of Libra and the Ravich Revocable Trust of 1989 (Jess M.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors
YouthStream Media Networks, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of YouthStream Media Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the three months ended September 30, 2002. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 financial statement 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 consolidated financial position of YouthStream Media Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their consolidated operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the three months ended September 30, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $343,834,000, a stockholders' deficiency of $13,065,000, a working capital deficiency of $3,453,000, and a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2004 of $2,366,000 and $901,000, respectively. The Company also sold its remaining operating business during the year ended September 30, 2004. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of YouthStream Media Networks, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that Youthstream Media Networks, Inc will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a working capital and stockholders' deficiency. In addition, the Company is in default with respect to its long-term debt. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

YouthStream Media Networks, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2004

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YouthStream Media Networks, Inc. ("YouthStream"), and its wholly-owned inactive subsidiaries, Network Event Theater, Inc. ("NET"), American Passage Media, Inc. ("American Passage"), Beyond the Wall, Inc. ("Beyond the Wall"), and W3T.com, Inc. ("Teen.com") (collectively, the "Company"). During fiscal 2001, the Company reorganized into two market segments: media and retail.

In February 2004, the Company sold the assets and operations of its Beyond the Wall subsidiary and ceased operating the retail segment. Beyond the Wall was engaged in the sale of decorative wall posters through on-campus sales events, retail stores and internet sales, primarily to teenagers and young adults. During the year ended September 30, 2004, Beyond the Wall operated 17 stores in 12 states, plus Washington, D.C., throughout the East and mid-West, as well as a warehouse and distribution center in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Beyond the Wall's operations have been presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

The financial statements and notes thereto as of September 30, 2003, and for the periods ended September 30, 2003, September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002 have been restated to reflect discontinued operations as a result of the businesses disposed of through September 30, 2004, including the sale of the media segment on August 5, 2002 and the retail segment on February 25, 2004. Accordingly, all of the Company's operations have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and June 30, 2002, and the three months ended September 30, 2002.

Change in Fiscal Year

Financial Statement Presentation

The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since its inception. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $343,834,000, a stockholders' deficiency of $13,065,000, a working capital deficiency of $3,453,000, and a net loss and negative cash flows from operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2004 of $2,366,000 and $901,000, respectively, and has insufficient capital to fund all of its obligations. In August and September 2002, the Company defaulted on approximately $18,000,000 of its long-term debt (see "Debt Restructuring" below and Note 7). In addition, during the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company sold its remaining operating business, as a result of which the Company did not have any revenue-generating business operations at September 30, 2004. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F-8

The Company's management intends to continue efforts to settle the Company's outstanding obligations and minimize operating costs. The Company believes that its available current cash resources will be adequate to fund its current limited level of operations through its fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. However, to the extent the Company's estimates and assumptions are inaccurate and/or the Company is unable to successfully settle outstanding obligations at reduced amounts, the Company may not have sufficient cash resources to fund its ongoing obligations. In such event, the Company may be required to seek other funding and/or consider a formal or informal restructuring or reorganization.

As a result of the sale of the assets and operations of Beyond the Wall in February 2004, the Company did not have any revenue-generating business operations at September 30, 2004. In July 2004, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire a steel mini-mill located in Ashland, Kentucky (see Note 4). If the Company is able to complete this transaction, the Company expects to utilize all or most of its available cash resources to fund such endeavor, and will therefore need to obtain additional operating capital to fund corporate general and administrative expenses either through internal or external resources.

Sale of Media Segment Assets

In response to its liquidity issues and declining earnings, on August 5, 2002, following the close of the Company's fiscal year 2002, the Company sold substantially all of its Media assets and assigned certain liabilities to Cass Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of Alloy, Inc., for proceeds of $7,283,000, which approximated the carrying value of the Media segment at the time of sale. As a result of the sale, the Media segment operations were discontinued during the three months ended September 30, 2002 (see Note 5).

Sale of Retail Segment Assets

In early fiscal 2003, the Company followed through on its previously announced plans to close a number of under performing retail stores in its Beyond the Wall chain. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred approximately $1,790,000 of expenses relating to the closing of 25 retail store operations, including $214,000 for the write-off of fixed assets, $635,000 for the write-off of inventory, $879,000 of accruals for costs relating to the early termination of store leases, and $62,000 for other expenses. The total closing costs were classified as a loss from discontinued operations in the statement of operations.

On April 30, 2004, the buyer made an optional principal pre-payment on the Note of $400,000. Accordingly, under the provisions of the sale agreement, the buyer received a credit of $107,000 against the $1,100,000 note (in excess of the $400,000 payment), as well as an additional $150,000 back-end credit on the Note.

F-9

additional loss of $257,000, which decreased the carrying value of the note receivable from $1,100,000 to $843,000 and increased the loss on the BTW sale from $565,000 to $822,000. The loss on the BTW sale was reported as a loss on the disposal of discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2004. As a result of the sale, the retail segment operations were discontinued during the year ended September 30, 2004.

Remaining scheduled principal payments at September 30, 2004 with respect to the Note totaling $443,000 are shown below. The Company received the October 31, 2004 scheduled principal payment of $198,000, plus accrued interest of $49,000, on a timely basis.

October 31, 2004 – $198,000
October 31, 2005 – $198,000
October 31, 2006 – $ 47,000

Debt Restructuring

In January 2003, the Company reached an agreement with the holders of all of its and its Network Event Theater subsidiary's outstanding notes (NET Notes, YSTM Notes and YSTM 2 Note), in the aggregate principal amount of $18,000,000, to cancel those notes. In exchange for cancellation of all of the principal due on the old notes, including accrued interest of $2,062,000, the note holders received in aggregate $4,500,000 in cash, redeemable preferred stock with a face value of $4,000,000 (see Note 6), and 3,985,000 shares of common stock, valued at $255,000, and $4,000,000 aggregate principal amount of promissory notes issued by the Company's retail subsidiary, Beyond the Wall, Inc., formerly secured by the Company's pledge of all of its stock in Beyond the Wall (see Note 7).

F-10

Notes, net of accrued interest, unamortized original issue discount and unamortized closing costs, was $11,251,000. After adjusting for the fair value of the cash and common stock exchanged, the carrying value of the YSTM Notes was $9,528,000. For purposes of determining the gain on the extinguishment of the YSTM Notes, the redeemable preferred stock was accounted for as a debt instrument given the mandatory redemption features of the security (see Note 6). The issuance of the $3,000,000 promissory note and the 1,000,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock constituted a continuation of debt with modified terms. Given that the undiscounted future value of the promissory note and the redeemable preferred stock, including accrued interest and cumulative dividends, was less than the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM Notes extinguished, the Company recognized a gain totaling $306,000 and recorded the value of the promissory note and the redeemable preferred stock at the undiscounted future value of $3,953,000 and $5,269,000, respectively, with no interest expense or accretion in value to be recognized over the remaining life of the promissory note and preferred stock.

The cancellation of the YSTM 2 Note was accounted for as a combination of a partial debt settlement and a continuation of debt with modified terms. In exchange for the extinguishment of the YSTM 2 Note, the holder received 498,125 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $32,000 and a $1,000,000 promissory note bearing interest at 4% per annum, with principal and accrued interest due December 31, 2010 (see Note 7). As of the settlement date, the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note, net of accrued interest, unamortized original issue discount and unamortized closing costs, was $991,000. After adjusting for the fair value of the common shares exchanged, the carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note was $960,000. The issuance of the $1,000,000 promissory note constituted a continuation of debt with modified terms. Given that the undiscounted future value of the promissory note, including principal and interest, was greater than the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note extinguished, the Company recognized no gain. The promissory note was revalued at the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note surrendered, resulting in an imputed discount of $41,000.

During June 2003, the Company amended the original provisions of the $4,000,000 of promissory notes issued in conjunction with the January 24, 2003 restructuring to provide for the following:


a.	Beyond the Wall was replaced by the Company as the issuer of the notes, and was released from any liability with respect to the notes.


b.	The note holders agreed to convert the notes from secured to unsecured, and to release their security interest in all of the outstanding common stock of Beyond the Wall.


c.	The note holders agreed to delete all provisions in the notes requiring the issuer of the notes to make mandatory prepayments based on the occurrence of certain events.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

F-11

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and equivalents include all cash, demand deposits and money market accounts with maturities of three months or less.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets generally over three to five years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Prior to July 2001 and in accordance with Financial Accounting and Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", the Company recorded impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicated that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets were less than the carrying amount of those assets. In July 2001, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 144, "According for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which superceded SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of impairment.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

Deferred acquisition costs related to pending transactions are accounted for as part of the purchase consideration if and when the transaction is completed. If the Company does not complete the transaction, those costs are charged to operations in the period that the Company's efforts to complete the transaction are terminated.

Investments

The Company accounts for its nominal interests in investments at cost, and periodically reviews such investments for impairment.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided for differences between the carrying amounts of the Company's assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company calculates net loss per share as required by SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per share excludes any dilution for common stock equivalents and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options or other securities or contracts entitling the holder to acquire shares of common stock were exercised or converted, resulting in the issuance of additional shares of common stock that would then share in earnings. However, diluted earnings per share does not consider such dilution if its effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share are the same for all periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company generally grants stock options to management and employees for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and, accordingly, recognizes compensation expense only if the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise

F-12

price of the stock option on the date of grant. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company continues to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and has elected the pro forma disclosure alternative of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148 (see Note 12).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company believes that the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 approximates their respective fair values due to the demand or short-term nature of those instruments and their underlying liquidity.

Long-term debt and preferred stock classified as long-term debt are presented at face value plus accrued interest and dividends through the due date. Note receivable is presented at face value plus accrued interest through the financial statement date.

Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"), which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", relating to consolidation of certain entities. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of FIN 46 ("FIN 46R") that replaced the original FIN 46. FIN 46R requires identification of a company's participation in variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which are defined as entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to permit it to operate on a standalone basis. For entities identified as a VIE, FIN 46R sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment of which party to the VIE (if any) bears a majority of the exposure to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46R also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in VIEs that are deemed significant, even if consolidation is not required. The Company is not currently participating in, or invested in any VIEs, as defined in FIN 46R. Accordingly, the implementation of the provisions of FIN 46R did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

F-13

4. Related Party Transactions

Affiliate Loans

During August 2003, the Company also borrowed $25,000 from each of Jonathan V. Diamond and the Ravich Trust, which was used to fund, in part, the Company's investment in KES Holdings (see "Investment in KES Holdings" below). The loans, which were due December 31, 2003, were repaid in September 2003 and were unsecured. As partial consideration for the loans, the Company issued to each lender warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, exercisable through August 31, 2008 at $0.16 per share, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the date of the loans. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and had an aggregate fair value of $32,000, which would have been recognized ratably over the term of the loan. Since the loan was repaid before September 30, 2003, however, the entire $32,000 was recognized as interest expense with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.

Investment in KES Holdings

F-14

acquisition, the new subsidiary is expected to issue to the owners of KES Acquisition in exchange for 100% of their equity interest in KES Acquisition (i) $25,000,000 of its non-convertible non-voting redeemable preferred stock with a redemption price equal to $25,000,000 and a 13% annual cumulative dividend and (ii) senior subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000 with an annual interest rate of 8%. As part of this transaction, the remaining 19.99% common stock interest in the new subsidiary will be owned by the former owners of KES Acquisition.

Through September 30, 2004, the Company incurred $175,000 in professional fees with respect to this transaction, which the Company has presented as deferred costs in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2004. These costs will be accounted for as part of the purchase consideration if and when this transaction is completed. If the Company does not complete this transaction, these costs will be charged to operations in the period that the Company's efforts to complete this transaction are terminated.

5. Discontinued Operations

In December 2001, the Company discontinued its Teen.com website. In connection with the discontinuance of that business, the Company incurred a charge of $348,000 relating primarily to the write-off of property and equipment and an accrual for severance.

In March 2002, the Company announced a plan to move its Seattle operations to its New York office. In April 2002, the Company finalized its transition plan, which resulted in the termination of 30 employees, and completed the transition in June 2002. The Company recorded a restructuring charge, which is included in loss from discontinued operations, during the year ended June 30, 2002 of approximately $519,000 relating to this decision, which included severance costs of $186,000, lease costs of $126,000 for a lease expiring November 2002, and $207,000 relating to the abandonment of certain fixed assets.

On August 5, 2002, the Company sold substantially all of its media assets and assigned certain liabilities to Cass Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of Alloy, Inc., for gross proceeds of $7,000,000 plus a working capital adjustment of an additional $283,000, which resulted in a gain of approximately $246,000 at the time of sale, and which is included in the total gain on disposal of discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002. As a result of the sale, the media segment of the Company's operations was discontinued during the three months ended September 30, 2002.

Effective September 23, 2003, the Company sold its interest in U.S. Patent No. 6,175,831 entitled "Method and apparatus for constructing a network database and system" (the "Six Degrees Patent") and certain related intellectual property rights, including computer source and object code files, software assets and other digital assets, documentation and rights (the "Technology"), for a cash payment of $700,000. The sales price was determined through an auction process involving

F-15

arm's-length qualified purchasers. The Technology was sold to Degrees of Connection LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Degrees of Connection LLC is unrelated to the Company or its affiliates, or any of its officers or directors, or associates of its officers or directors. The proceeds from the sale of the Six Degrees Patent resulted in a gain on disposal of discontinued operations totaling $700,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003.

During the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company wrote off approximately $316,000 of fixed assets, net of proceeds from the equipment sales, relating to the closing of its corporate office in New York in November 2002.

On April 30, 2004, the buyer made an optional principal pre-payment on the Note of $400,000. Accordingly, under the provisions of the sale agreement, the buyer received a credit of $107,000 against the $1,100,000 note (in excess of the $400,000 payment), as well as an additional $150,000 back-end credit on the Note.

The loss from discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2004 of $550,000 consists of an operating loss of $1,050,000, offset by a gain resulting from the reduction of a prior accrual with respect to the closing of retail stores. The reduction in the accrual was a result of the Company reaching settlements with landlords below what had been originally accrued.

Net revenues and losses from discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company has accrued liabilities of $2,499,000 and $4,859,000, respectively, remaining from its discontinued businesses. The accruals primarily consists of severance, lease payments and other costs related to the operations of the discontinued businesses.

6. Redeemable Preferred Stock

In connection with the January 2003 debt restructuring agreement with the holders of the YSTM Notes and pursuant to the Company's amended articles of incorporation, authorizing the issuance of

F-16

up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with the following characteristics:


a.	Dividend Rights. The holders of the shares of preferred stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company's board of directors, out of funds legally available for that purpose, cumulative preferential dividends in cash at the rate of 4% a year on the face amount of $4 per share payable quarterly.

Redemption. The Company shall redeem all of the preferred stock outstanding as of December 31, 2010 at $4.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. As of September 30, 2004, the redemption value of the total issued and outstanding shares of redeemable preferred stock totaled $5,269,000. The Company has the option in 2004 to repurchase all or a portion of preferred stock outstanding for 75% of its face amount plus 100% of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.


c.	Convertibility and Voting Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into any other security of the Company, and the holders thereof have no voting rights except with respect to any proposed changes in the preferences and special rights of such stock or except as granted to holders by law.

Because the preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable, it is classified as a long term liability in accordance with SFAS No. 150 at the future redemption value of $5,269,000, including cumulative dividends, with no future accretion adjustments to the balance to be taken against stockholders' equity (deficit) in subsequent periods.

In July 1998, the Company issued subordinated notes to accredited investors in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 less an original discount of $188,000 (the "NET Notes"). These notes bore interest at 11% per annum and were due in July 2003. In connection with the issuance of the subordinated notes, the Company issued 375,000 warrants to the accredited investors for $188,000, and 150,000 warrants to the placement agent. Each warrant, which expired in July 2003, entitled the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock for $4.125, the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of issuance. Based on an independent appraisal conducted at that time, the 525,000 warrants were valued at $740,000. The value of the warrants and closing costs of $314,000 was recorded as deferred financing costs and was amortized over the term of the subordinated notes. The original issue discount of $188,000 was also amortized over the term of the related debt. On September 8, 2002, NET failed to make the interest payment due on the NET Notes, constituting an event of default under the terms of the NET Notes, and as a result, the holder of a majority of the NET Notes declared these notes due and payable under the terms of the NET Notes. In January 2003, the Company reached a debt restructuring agreement with the holders of the NET Notes to cancel all the principal of and interest on the NET Notes in exchange for aggregate cash payments of $3,000,000. As of January 2003, the carrying value of the debt, including accrued interest and unamortized deferred closing costs and discount, was $5,448,000. The settlement of the NET Notes resulted in a gain totaling $2,448,000.

F-17

In March 2000, the Company issued a note to a finance company in the amount of $1,971,000 (the "Equipment Note"). The note bore interest at the rate of 11.95% per annum and was payable in 36 equal monthly payments commencing in March 2000. The note was secured by certain equipment owned by NET. NET failed to make payments of approximately $65,000 due on August 1, 2002 and $65,000 due on September 1, 2002, in connection with the Equipment Note. On September 6, 2002, NET received notice from the finance company holding the Equipment Note stating that the entire outstanding indebtedness ($496,000) under the Equipment Note was due and payable pursuant to the terms of the note. On September 16, 2002, the holder of the Equipment Note commenced litigation against NET seeking repayment of the note. In December 2002, the Company reached an agreement with the holder of the Equipment Note and (a) paid $470,000 in exchange for the cancellation of the principal of and interest on the Equipment Note, totaling $516,000, and (b) transferred title of the equipment securing the Equipment Note to the finance company. This transaction resulted in a gain of $46,000.

In June 2000, the Company issued subordinated notes to an accredited investor in the amount of $12,000,000, less an original issue discount of $420,000 (the "YSTM Notes"). The notes bore interest at 11% per annum and were due in June 2005. In connection with the issuance of the subordinated notes, the Company issued 1,020,000 warrants to accredited investors in exchange for $420,000. Each warrant, which expires in June 2005, entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock for $5.9375, the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of issuance. Based on an independent appraisal at that time, the 1,020,000 warrants were valued at $3,346,000. The value of the warrants and closing costs of $494,000 were recorded as deferred financing costs and were amortized over the term of the subordinated note. The original issue discount of $420,000 was amortized over the term of the related debt. On August 31, 2002, the Company failed to make interest payments due on the YSTM Notes, constituting an event of default under the terms of the YSTM Notes. On September 9, 2002, the holders of the YSTM Notes declared this note due and payable under the terms of the YSTM Notes. In January 2003, as part of the debt restructuring, the Company reached an agreement with the holders of the YSTM Notes to cancel all of the principal and interest on the YSTM Notes in exchange for (a) cash of $1,500,000; (b) 1,000,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock of the Company; (c) 3,486,875 shares of common stock of the Company; and (d) a $3,000,000 promissory note issued by Beyond the Wall and secured by a pledge of the Company's stock in Beyond the Wall.

In July 2000, the Company issued a subordinated note to an accredited investor in the amount of $1,000,000, less an original issue discount of $35,000 (the "YSTM 2 Note"). The note bore interest at 11% per annum and was due in July 2005. In connection with the issuance of the subordinated note, the Company issued 60,000 warrants to an accredited investor in exchange for $35,000. Each warrant, which expires in July 2005, entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock for $3.75, the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of issuance. Based on an independent appraisal at that time, the 60,000 warrants were valued at $197,000. The value of the warrants was recorded as deferred financing costs and was amortized over the term of the subordinated note. The original issue discount of $35,000 was amortized over the term of the related debt. On August 31, 2002, the Company failed to make an interest payment due on the YSTM 2 Note, constituting an event of default under the terms of the YSTM 2 Note, and the holder of the note had the right to declare this note immediately due and payable. In January 2003 the Company reached an agreement with the holder of the YSTM 2 Note to cancel all of the principal and interest on the YSTM 2 Note in exchange for (a) a $1,000,000 promissory note issued by Beyond the Wall and secured by a pledge of the Company's stock in Beyond the Wall; and (b) 498,125 shares of the Company's common stock. No gain or loss was recognized on the settlement.

In January 2003, as part of the debt restructuring the Company issued a promissory note to an accredited investor with a face amount of $3,000,000 and total future interest payments of $953,000. The note bears interest at 4% per annum with accrued interest and principal due December 31, 2010. This note was issued as part of the January 2003 debt restructuring whereby the YSTM Notes were extinguished in exchange for a $1,500,000 cash payment, issuance of 3,486,875 shares of common stock, valued at $223,000, issuance of 1,000,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock and issuance of a

F-18

$3,000,000 promissory note secured by the Company's pledge of all of its stock in its subsidiary, Beyond the Wall. The transaction was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring involving a combination of a partial debt settlement and a continuation of debt with modified terms. As the total undiscounted future cash payments from the promissory note were less than the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM Notes, the promissory note was recorded at the undiscounted future cash value of $3,953,000 with no interest expense to be recognized over the remaining life of the new note. The restructuring of the YSTM Notes resulted in a gain totaling $306,000.

In January 2003, the Company issued a promissory note to an accredited investor with a face value of $1,000,000 and total future interest payments of $318,000. The note bears interest at 4% per annum with accrued interest and principal due December 31, 2010. This note was issued as part of the January 2003 debt restructuring whereby the YSTM 2 Note was extinguished in exchange for the issuance of 498,125 shares of common stock, valued at $32,000, and issuance of the promissory note secured by the Company's pledge of all of its stock in its subsidiary, Beyond the Wall. The transaction was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring involving a combination of a partial debt settlement and a continuation of debt with modified terms. As the total undiscounted future cash payments from the promissory note, including principal and accrued interest, were greater than the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note, the promissory note issued was recorded at the adjusted carrying value of the YSTM 2 Note surrendered, resulting in an imputed discount of $41,000.

8. Loss on Impairment of Assets

Operating results at the Company's Trent subsidiary declined during 2002. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the goodwill of this subsidiary in accordance with its accounting policy. This evaluation indicated that the carrying value of the goodwill of this subsidiary was impaired. As a result, in fiscal 2002 the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges totaling $7,439,000 in the retail segment. In addition, the Company determined during fiscal year 2002 that the fixed assets related to its satellite network were impaired as the Company decided to use alternative means of showing movies on college campuses for the 2003 season. In May 2002, the Company recognized a charge of $672,000 for impairment of these fixed assets which were owned by NET within the media segment. The impairment charges from the Trent subsidiary have been recorded as a loss on impairment of assets and included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2002, and the impairment charges from the satellite network equipment have also been recorded as a loss from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2002.

10. Income Taxes

At September 30, 2004, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $284,813,000 that expires from 2012 through 2024. The use of approximately $36,000,000 of this net operating loss in future years may be restricted under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of approximately $113,908,000 has been recognized to offset the net deferred tax asset principally related to the net operating loss carryforward. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $3,082,000, $69,479,000 and $10,646,000 for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and June 30, 2002, respectively.

F-19

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows (in thousands):


	September 30,
	2004			2003
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	113,646		$	110,513

Total deferred tax assets		113,908			110,826
Valuation allowance		(113,908	)		(110,826	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	—		$	—

No federal tax provision has been provided for the periods ended September 30, 2004, September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 due to the significant losses incurred to date.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by federal, state and local tax authorities for various tax liabilities incurred in prior periods from the parent entity and its subsidiaries, including any discontinued businesses. The amount of any tax assessments and penalties may be material and may negatively impact the Company's operations. Given the uncertainty in the amount and the difficulty in estimating the probability of the assessments arising from future tax audits, the Company has not made accruals for such tax contingencies.

11. Stockholders' Equity (Deficiency)

In May 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to make open market purchases of the Company's common stock aggregating up to $2,000,000. As of September 30, 2004, the Company held in treasury 607,500 shares purchased on the open market at a cost of $829,000.

In January 2003, the Company completed a debt restructuring transaction whereby a total of 3,985,000 common shares, valued at $255,000, were issued to the holders of the YSTM Notes and YSTM 2 Note, in accordance with the terms of the debt restructuring to extinguish the YSTM Notes and YSTM 2 Note. The additional common shares were valued using the three-day average trading price one day before and one day after the effective date of the debt restructuring.

During August 2003, the Company also borrowed $25,000 from each of Jonathan V. Diamond and the Ravich Trust, which was used to fund, in part, the Company's investment in KES Holdings (see Note 4). The loans, which were due December 31, 2003, were repaid in September 2003 and were unsecured. As partial consideration for the loans, the Company issued to each lender warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, exercisable through August 31, 2008 at $0.16 per share, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the date of the loans. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and had an aggregate fair value of $32,000, which would have been recognized ratably over the term of the loan. Since the loan was repaid before September 30, 2003, however, the entire $32,000 was recognized as interest expense with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.

Securities entitling the holder to acquire shares of common stock that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect are as follows:

12. Stock Options and Warrants

During May 2003, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 700,000 shares of common stock to its directors, exercisable through May 2010 at $0.04 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of issuance.

During May 2003, the Company issued options to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock to its Chief Financial Officer, exercisable through May 2010 at $0.04 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of issuance.

During October 2003, the Company issued an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to its Chief Executive Officer, exercisable through October 2010 at $0.26 per share, which was the fair market value on the date of issuance.

Pro forma information regarding net loss per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method pursuant to SFAS No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and June 30, 2002:


	Years ended September 30,		Year ended June 30, 2002

Stock Option Plans

In February 2000, the Company adopted the YouthStream 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan") in order to grant employees providing services to the Company incentive stock options. The 2000 Plan allows for the granting of options to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. All option plans of the Company in existence at the formation of the 2000 Plan were merged into the 2000 Plan. The terms of the options were not changed upon merging the plans. The exercise price of the options granted was at fair market value on the date of the grant. Options generally vest over three years.

In May 2001, the Company approved a Voluntary Stock Option Exchange Program to be carried out under the Company's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. Employees were given the option to exchange all or a portion of their options on July 20, 2001, with an exercise price equal to or greater than $9.00. In exchange, employees were eligible to receive, six months and one day after cancellation, new options for 80% of the number of shares covered by the cancelled options, with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the new grant. On July 20, 2001, 743,800 options were cancelled, and 518,319 options were reissued on January 22, 2002.

The following table summarizes the 2000 Plan and the effects from the execution of the Voluntary Stock Option Exchange Program initiated in May 2001:
