During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Company, through its subsidiaries, operated in two business segments, media and retail.  On August 5, 2002, subsidiaries of the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the media business segment to a subsidiary of Alloy, Inc. ("Alloy"), which also assumed certain of the liabilities related to the media business.  The Company discontinued any remaining media operations that were not sold to Alloy.  Net cash proceeds from the sale of the media business segment were approximately $6,900,000.  As a result of this sale, the operations of the media business segment have not been included in the consolidated results of operations of the Company subsequent to the sale date.  The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2002 will be restated to reflect the operations of the media business segment as a discontinued operation.


In January 2003, the Company reached an agreement with the holders of all of its and its subsidiary’s outstanding notes in the aggregate principal amount of $18,000,000, to cancel these notes.  In exchange for cancellation of all of the principal and interest due on the old notes, the note holders received in aggregate $4,500,000 in cash, preferred stock with a face value of $4,000,000, 3,985,000 shares of common stock, and $4,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new promissory notes.  In total, the Company recognized a gain from this debt restructuring of $2,754,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2003.


As a result of the sale to Alloy in August 2002 and the January 2003 restructuring, the Company expects to report reduced revenues and a reduced net loss for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to June 30, 2002.
