NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004

NOTE 1-                ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed unaudited interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Sign Media Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later that year.

The management of the Company believes that the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The Company began business as Go! Agency LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company (“Go Agency”). Go Agency was formed in April 2000, principally to pursue third party truck side advertising. The principal of Go Agency invested approximately $857,000 in Go Agency pursuing this business. It became apparent that a more advanced truck side mounting system would be required and that third party truck side advertising alone would not sustain an ongoing profitable business. Go Agency determined to develop a technologically advanced mounting system and focused on a different business plan.

The Company was incorporated on January 28, 2002 as a Florida corporation. Upon incorporation, an officer of the Company contributed $5,000 and received 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company issued 7,959,000 shares of common stock in exchange of $55,702 of net assets of GO! Agency, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Go Agency”), a company formed on June 20, 2000, as E Signs Plus.com, LLC, a Florida limited liability

It became apparent that a more advanced truck side mounting system would be required and that third party truck side advertising alone would not sustain an ongoing profitable business. Go Agency determined to develop a technologically advanced mounting system and focused on a different business plan. Go Agency pre-exchange transaction was a company under common control of the major shareholder of SMS. Post-exchange transactions have not differed. Go Agency still continues to operate and is still under common control.

Go Agency and the Company developed a new and unique truck side mounting system, which utilizes a proprietary cam lever technology, which allows an advertising image to be stretched tight as a drum. Following the exchange, the Company had 7,960,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company has developed and filed an application for a patent on its mounting systems. The cam lever technology is considered an intangible asset and has not been recorded as an asset on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. This asset was not recoded due to the fact that there was no historic recorded value on the books of Go Agency for this asset.

NOTE 1-               ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

On November 17, 2003, the Company entered into a merger agreement by and among American Powerhouse, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sign Media Systems Acquisition Company, Inc., a Florida corporation and Signs Media Systems, Inc. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Signs Media Systems merged with Sign Media Systems Acquisition Company with Sign Media Systems being the surviving corporation. The merger was completed on December 8, 2003 with the filing of Articles of Merger with the State of Florida at which time Sign Media Systems Acquisition ceased to exist and Sign Media Systems became the surviving corporation. Some time prior to the merger, American Powerhouse had acquired certain technology for the manufacture of a water machine in the form of a water cooler that manufactures water from ambient air. However, American Powerhouse was not engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing the water machine but was engaged in the licensing of that right to others. Prior to the merger, American Powerhouse granted a license to Sign Media Systems Acquisition to use that technology and to manufacture and sell the water machines. The acquisition of this license was the business purpose of this merger. As consideration for the merger, Sign Media Systems issued 300,000 shares of its common stock to American Powerhouse, 100,000 shares in the year ending December 31, 2002, and 200,000 shares in the year ending December 31, 2004. The 300,000 shares of stock were valued at $1.50 per share based on recent private sales of Sign Media Systems common stock. There were no other material costs of the merger. There was and is no relationship between American Powerhouse and either Sign Media Systems or GO! AGENCY. The Company recorded this license as an intangible asset for $400,000 and subsequently impaired the entire amount.

NOTE 2-               SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

NOTE 2-               SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Currently, the Company has three primary sources of revenue:

(1)  
The sale and installation of their mounting system;
(2)  
The printing of advertising images to be inserted on trucks utilizing the Company’s mounting systems; and
(3)  
Third party advertising.

The Company’s revenue recognition policy for these sources of revenue is as follows. The Company relies on Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, in determining when recognition of revenue occurs. There are four criteria that the Company must meet when determining when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. The Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement existing; delivery has occurred or services rendered; the price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. Typically, the Company recognizes revenue when orders are placed and they receive deposits on those orders. In regard to the revenue recognition of third party advertising, the Company recognizes the revenue once they have completed the task for which the consumer paid.

In addition, the Company offers manufacturer’s warranties. These warranties are provided by the Company and not sold. Therefore, no income is derived from the warranty itself.

Cost is recorded on the accrual basis as well, when the services are incurred rather than when payment is made.

Costs of goods sold are separated by components consistent with the revenue categories. Mounting systems, printing and advertising costs include purchases made, and payroll costs attributable to those components. Payroll costs is included for sales, engineering and warehouse personnel in cost of goods sold. Cost of overhead is diminimus. The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods, and unassembled parts that comprise the framework for the mounting system placed on trucks for their advertising. All of these costs are included in costs of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

NOTE 2-               SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Provision for Bad Debt

Under SOP 01-6 "Accounting for Certain Entities (including Entities with Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others” the Company has intent and belief that all amounts in accounts receivable are collectible. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts over 90 days. The Company's major customer at December 31, 2004, was uncharacteristically slow in paying their outstanding invoices during December 31, 2004. Management after discussing the situation with the customer determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts should be set at $500,000.

Management's policy is to vigorously attempt to collect its receivables monthly. The Company estimated the amount of the allowance necessary based on a review of the aged receivables from the major customer. Management additionally instituted a policy for recording the recovery of the allowance if any in the period where it is recovered.

In the interim period ended June 30, 2005, the entire $500,000 established by the Company in 2004 as an allowance for doubtful accounts was paid in full by cash payment. In accordance with the Company’s policies for Provisions for Bad Debt, the Company reversed its entry made in 2004 relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts and recorded the cash receipt.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at several financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Furniture and fixtures               5 years
Equipment                                  5 years
Trucks                                         3 years

Accounts Receivable

Management believes that all accounts receivable as of September 30, 2005 are fully collectible. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. The Company recovered $500,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that was previously recorded as an allowance for bad debt.

Advertising

Costs of advertising and marketing are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $2,525 and $4,593 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Earnings per Share of Common Stock

Historical net income per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.

NOTE 5-               RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On January 28, 2002, Sign Media Systems, Inc. was formed as a Florida Corporation but did not begin business operations until April 2002.

States for the purchase of chiropractic adjustment tables. The loans are generally for less than $3,000 each and are secured by a first lien on each chiropractic adjustment table. Each loan is personally guaranteed by the chiropractic physician. The rate of return on the Olympus Leasing loans is between 15% and 25% per annum. To date, Olympus Leasing has suffered no loss from any loan to a chiropractic physician for the purchase of a chiropractic adjustment table. There is an excellent market for the re-sale of tables which may be the subject of a foreclosure. Olympus Leasing currently has in excess of $1,000,000 in outstanding finance receivables from chiropractic physicians secured by a first lien on each chiropractic adjustment table. Since the making of the loan by the Company to Olympus Leasing, Olympus Leasing has made payments to the Company of $228,000 pursuant to the note attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6. Because of the foregoing facts, the Company believes there is the probability of a default on the loan by it to Olympus Leasing is unlikely. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company had net income of over $700,000. Moreover, the Company has achieved substantial savings on manufacturing costs because of engineering advances which has reduced the Company’s cost of goods sold. In the Company’s Form 10-KSB/A at December 31, 2004, it budgeted approximately $1,300,000 of expenses for the year ending December 31, 2005. Through the first nine months of 2005, the Company is on pace to expend expenses of approximately $855,000 which is $445,000 below budget. For all of the foregoing reasons, the Company believes, but cannot guarantee, that the loan to Olympus Leasing will not effect liquidity.

NOTE 6-                 LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of two installment notes with GMAC Finance. As discussed in Note 1, the Company assumed debt from Go! Agency as of January 28, 2002. On June 18, 2003, the Company acquired a truck in the amount of $45,761 financed by GMAC over a period of 5 years. Monthly payments are $763. The loan carries no interest charges.

The Company restated its June 30, 2005, financial statements to reclassify $500,000 that was posted directly to additional paid-in capital that should have been posted as a recovery of bad debt. The $500,000 recovery of bad debt is now included in revenue. The effect of this June 30, 2005, restatement did not effect total stockholders’ equity. The effect did increase revenue from $936,923 to 1,436,923, net income after provision for income taxes from $219,261 to $719,261 and earnings per share from .03 to .09 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The recovery of the $500,000 of bad debt was due entirely to a cash payment to the Company by one key customer that contributes the bulk of the Company’s revenue.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company generated $1,436,923 of revenue, which included $500,000 as recovery of bad debt expense in the immediately preceding quarterly period, $1,408,624 of gross profit, $719,216 of net income applicable to common shares after a provision of $61,000 for income taxes and $0.09 in earnings per weighted average common share based upon a weighted average of 8,460,000 common shares outstanding.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company generated $1,291,885 of revenue, $1,095,416 of gross profit, $560,172 of net income applicable to common shares after a provision of $80,850 for income taxes, and $0.07 of net income per weighted common share based upon a weighted average of 8,368,865 common shares outstanding.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, exclusive of recovery of $500,000 in bad debt expense, decreased $354,962 from the same period last year. Net income applicable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, increased $159,089 from the same period last year primarily due to the recovery of $500,000 in bad debt expense in the immediately preceding quarter. Without the recovery of $500,000 in bad debt expense in the immediately preceding quarter, net income applicable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 would have decreased $340,911. Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, increased $0.02 from the same period last year primarily due to the recovery of $500,000 in bad debt expense in the immediately preceding quarter.

Cost of goods sold significantly decreased as a percentage of revenue during the nine month ended September 30, 2005. This is primarily the result of three factors: (1) the Company has significantly reduced the cost of manufacturing its framing systems by significantly reducing the number of necessary parts and the cost of those parts, (2) the Company acquired a grand format printer which significantly reduced the cost of its digital graphics, and (3) the Company recovered $500,000 in bad debt expense from a previous period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION

The Company is in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing mobile billboard mounting systems, which are mounted primarily on truck sides, rear panels and breaking panel roll up doors. The Company also

4


produces digitally created outdoor, full color vinyl images which are inserted into the mounting systems and displayed primarily on trucks. The Company has developed mounting systems which allow the digital images to easily slide into an aluminum alloy extrusion with a cam-lever that snaps closed stretching the image tight as a drum, and that also easily opens to free the image for fast removals and change outs without damaging the truck body or the Fleet Graphics. The mounting systems’ proprietary cam-lever technology is the key to their operation.

The Company’s revenue comes from three primary sources; sales of the mobile billboard mounting systems, sales of digital printing, and sales of third party advertising utilizing the mobile billboard mounting systems. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, $918,550. or 98% of the Company’s revenue came from the sale of its mobile billboard mounting systems, $0 or 0% of the Company’s revenue came from the sale of third party advertising and $18,373 or 2% of the Company’s revenue came from the sale of digital printing.

A material part of the Company’s business is currently dependent upon one key customer, Advanced Advertising Network, LLC of Lake Mary, Florida. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company’s sales to this customer were approximately $862,317 or 92% of all sales. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company’s sales to this customer were approximately $411,684 or 97% of all sales. The Company continues to rely on this customer for the majority of its sales. However, the Company is moving forward to expand its distribution base so that it will no longer depend on this one key customer. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to diversify its distribution base. Advanced Advertising Network, LLC is not a related party.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company attributes the increase in revenue, net income and earnings per share to increases in sales and the elimination of $500,000 in bad debt expense in the quarter ending June 30, 2005. Without the recovery of that bad debt expense, the Company’s revenue, net income and earnings would have decreased primarily due to lack of sales by the Company’s key customer. The Company’s primary emphasis is to expand sales nation wide and to also expand into Latin America by acquiring independent dealers.

On June 28, 2005, the Company loaned, $1,200,000 to Olympus Leasing Company, a related party. At June 28, 2005, Antonio F. Uccello, III, was, and is now the President, Chairman and a minority owner of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Olympus Leasing and reports to its board of directors. Antonio F. Uccello, III, was and is one of the Company’s officers and directors and an indirect shareholder of Sign Media Systems, Inc. The loan is for a period of five years with interest accruing on the unpaid balance at 5.3% per annum payable annually, with the entire principal and unpaid interest due and payable in full on June 28, 2010. There is no prepayment penalty. The purpose of the loan was to obtain a higher interest rate than is currently available at traditional banking institutions. Olympus Leasing’s primary business is making secured loans to chiropractic physicians throughout the United States for the purchase of chiropractic adjustment tables. The loans are generally for less than $3,000 each and are secured by a first lien on each chiropractic adjustment table. Each loan is personally guaranteed by the chiropractic physician. The rate of return on the Olympus Leasing loans is between 15% and 25% per annum. To date, Olympus Leasing has suffered no loss from any loan to a chiropractic physician for the purchase of a chiropractic adjustment table. There is an excellent market for the re-sale of chiropractic adjustment tables, which may be the subject of a foreclosure. Olympus Leasing currently has in excess of $1,000,000 in outstanding finance receivables from chiropractic physicians secured by a first lien on each chiropractic adjustment table. Since the making of the loan by the Company to Olympus Leasing, Olympus Leasing has made re-payments to the Company of $228,000 pursuant to the note attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6. Because of the foregoing facts, the Company believes that the probability of a default on the loan by it to Olympus Leasing is unlikely. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company had net income of over 500,000. Moreover, the Company has achieved substantial savings on manufacturing costs because of engineering advances, which have reduced the Company's cost of goods sold. In the Company’s Form 10-KSB/A at December 31, 2004, it budgeted approximately $1,300,000 of expenses for the year ending 2005. Through the first nine months of 2005, the Company is on pace to expend expenses of approximately $800,000 which is $500,000 below budget. For all of the foregoing reasons, the Company believes, but cannot guarantee, that the loan to Olympus Leasing will not effect liquidity.
