NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and
regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial
statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form
10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2004, which was filed January 13,
2005. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, including normal
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Urban Television Network Corporation as of March 31, 2005 and the results
of its Operations and cash flows for the six months then ended, have been
included. The results of operations for the interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
There have been no changes in accounting policies used by the Company
during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Urban Television Network Corporation (the "Company") formerly known as
Waste Conversion Systems, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state
of Nevada on October 21, 1986. The principal office of the corporation is
2707 South Cooper, Suite 119, Arlington, Texas 76015.
In January 2002, the Company underwent a change of control in connection
With Urban Television Network Corporation, a Texas corporation,
(Urban-Texas) Agreeing to deposit $100,000 into an attorneys escrow account
in return for receiving a balance sheet with no assets and no liabilities.
The directors of the Company appointed Urban-Texas officers as new officers
of the Company, and at the same time resigned their board positions and
appointed the directors of Urban-Texas as the Company's new board of
directors. Urban-Texas agreed to deposit 300,000 shares of the Company's
common stock into the attorney's escrow account after the completion of the
Stock Exchange Agreement described below, dated February 7, 2003.
On May 1, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Urban-Texas to
acquire the rights to the Urban-Texas affiliate network signal space which
included the assignment of the Urban-Texas broadcast television station
affiliates for 16,000,0000 shares of common stock, which became 800,000
after a 1 for 20 reverse stock split.
On February 7, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement
with the majority shareholders of Urban-Texas. Among other things, the
Agreement provided for the Company's purchase of approximately 90% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Urban-Texas (13,248,000 of
14,759,000 shares) in exchange for the Company's issuance of 13,248,000
shares of its authorized but unissued common stock, $.0001 par value (the
"Exchange Shares"), to the majority shareholders of Urban-Texas. In June of
2003, the remaining 10% of Urban-Texas common stock was contributed to the
Company.
Urban-Texas is considered the accounting acquirer, and the accompanying
financial statements include the operations of Urban-Texas from the
earliest period presented. The Company operated from May 1, 2002 to
February 7, 2003 as a 71% subsidiary of Urban-Texas, a predecessor entity
to the existing business. The May 1, 2002 and February 7, 2003 transactions
with the Company are presented as a recapitalization of Urban-Texas.
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value
stock and 500,000 shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
The Company is engaged in the business of supplying programming to
broadcast television stations and cable systems. Formerly the Company's
business had been the marketing of thermal burner systems that utilize
industrial and agricultural waste products as fuel to produce steam, which
generates electricity, air-conditioning or heat.
Accounting Method
The Company records income and expenses on the accrual method.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's sources of revenues includes sale of short-form national and
local spot advertising long-form program time slots. The Company's policy
is to recognize the revenue associated with these sources of revenue at the
time that it inserts the short-form advertising spots or airs the long-form
program at the network or local level.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are
eliminated. The Company owns 100% of Urban Television Network Corporation,
a Texas corporation, Urban Records, Inc., a Nevada corporation and Waste
Conversion Systems Of Virginia, Inc.
Non Goodwill Intangible Assets
Intangible assets other than goodwill consist of network assets acquired by
purchase. They are being amortized over their expected lives of 5 years and
are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. No impairment loss
was recognized during the reporting periods. On January 1, 2002, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. This provides that a recognized intangible
shall be amortized over its useful life to the reporting entity unless that
life is determined to be indefinite. The amount of an intangible asset to
be amortized shall be the amount initially assigned to that asset less any
residual value.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Income (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share".
Basic Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net
income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic net income (loss) per
share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive. Stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive, and accordingly,
are not included in the calculation of income (loss) per share.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income (loss) and net income (loss) are the same for the
Company.
Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
unrestricted cash and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits. The
amount in excess at March 31, 2005 was $93,883.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses non-direct advertising costs as incurred. The Company
did not incur any direct response advertising costs for the six months
ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for
services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and
accounts for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity
instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable. The determined value is
recognized as an expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Recent Accounting Standards
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity".
This Statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring as
liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the
issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No.
150 is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning
after June 15, 2003; including all financial instruments created or
modified after May 31, 2003. SFAS No. 150 currently has no impact on the
Company.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs - an
amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." This Statement clarifies the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted materials. This Statement is effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The
initial application of SFAS No. 151 will have no impact on the Company's
financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, "Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67."
This Statement references the financial accounting and reporting guidance
for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA
Statement of Position 04-2, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing
Transactions." This Statement also states that the guidance for incidental
operations and costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply
to real estate time-sharing transactions. This Statement is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The
initial application of SFAS No. 152 will have no impact on the Company's
financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29." This Statement eliminates the
exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and
replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has
commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement is
effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods
beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect application of
SFAS No. 153 to have a material affect on its financial statements.

(UNAUDITED)
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Share-Based
Payment." This Statement supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issed to Employees" and its related implementation guidance. It
establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an
entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also
addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange
for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's
equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity
instruments. This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for
share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided
in Statement No. 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18. This
Statement is effective for public entities that file as small business
issuers as of the beginning of the first fiscal period that begins after
December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS
No. 123 (revised) on its financial statements.
Stock Options
The Company accounts for non-employee stock options under SFAS 123, whereby
option costs are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received
or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more
reliable measurement, in accordance with EITF 96-18 "Accounting for Equity"
instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring or in
conjunction with selling goods or services.
3. Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable consists of normal trade receivables. The Company
assesses the collectibility of its accounts receivable regularly. Based on
this assessment, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. At March
31, 2005 and 2004 an allowance for doubtful accounts was not considered
necessary.
4. Network Assets - Amortization
Network assets consist of intangibles other than Goodwill. These assets
automatically renew every year unless either party terminates the agreement
by such notification to the other party. A useful life of five (5) years is
estimated for the assets. These agreements are not expected to be
terminated by either party prior to its useful life period. Total
amortization of these assets has been $116,851 and the amortization for the
six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $19,563 and $19,563,
respectively.
Future amortization of the Network assets at March 31, 2005 will be $78,777
and on an annual basis be as follows:
Year ended September 30, 2005 $19,562
Year ended September 30, 2006 $39,125
Year ended September 30, 2007 $20,090

On December 13, 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement with World One
Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The definitive agreement called
for World One to purchase 70,000,000 restricted common shares for
$7,000,000. The subscription agreement signed on December 23, 2004 set the
terms of the installment purchase at $100,000 being paid on December 23,
2004 and with a promissory note bearing no interest being executed for the
remaining $6,900,000 and being paid at the rate of $150,000 every 45 days
beginning on January 31, 2005 until promissory note has been paid in full.
All the shares are pledged as collateral for the promissory note and will
be physically held by the Company. Additionally, World One will be issued
warrants for 30,000,000 (reduced by mutual agreement from the original
80,000,000 warrants) shares of common stock that can be exercised for $.01
per share at any time after the Company's stock price has maintained a $10
bid price for 20 consecutive trading days. The total warrants exercisable

shares agreed to the termination and cancellation of that agreement by the
Company and further agreed to the termination and cancellation of 4,000,000

12. Going Concern
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a deficit
in both working capital and stockholders' equity. In order for the Company
to sustain operations and execute its television broadcast and programming
business plan , capital will need to be raised to support operations as the
company executes its business plan. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may raise additional capital through operating cash flows, the
sale of its equity securities, or debt securities. Subsequent to year end
the Company has raised additional capital of approximately $508,541 from
bridge loans, that were subsequently converted to common stock, $265,000 in
other advances to the Company and $400,000 from World One towards the
payment on its stock subscription agreement.

that can be exercised for $.01 per share at any time after the Company's stock
price has maintained a $10 bid price for 20 consecutive trading days. The total
warrants exercisable will be subject the available authorized and unissued
shares of the Company at the time of exercise.
As part of the definitive agreement, Wright Entertainment LLC which had
previously entered into a stock subscription agreement for 14,000,000 shares
agreed to the termination and cancellation of that agreement by the Company and
further agreed to the termination and cancellation of 4,000,000 shares that had
been issued in Wright Entertainment LLC's name and were to be vested when Wright
Entertainment LLC completed the payment for its subscription agreement. The
definitive agreement calls for the Company to pay Wright Entertainment LLC,
owned by Lonnie G. Wright, $300,000 ($60,000 at the signing and $15,000 per
month for sixteen months beginning January 15, 2005) and issue Wright
Entertainment LLC 1,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock.
The Company is engaged in the business of supplying programming to independent
Broadcast television stations and cable systems. Formerly the Company's business
had been the marketing of thermal burner systems that utilize industrial and
agricultural waste products as fuel to produce steam, which generates
electricity, air-conditioning or heat.
The Company acquired a television network affiliate base from Hispanic
Television Network, Inc. (HTVN). This television network provides television
programming serving ethnic minority programming interests of the
African-American population across the United States. The network presently
includes approximately 72 broadcast television station affiliates in various
parts of the country.
We are targeting the minority markets, primarily the African American and
Hispanic Markets, because we believe that they present vast marketing
opportunities and that are currently under-served by our competition. The
African American market, composes approximately 13% of the U.S. population with
a spending power in excess of $600 billion. The Hispanic population is also
approximately 13% of the U.S. total with a spending power also in the $600+
billion range. With few competitors in broadcast television that are exclusively
devoted to programming to the minority markets, we feel that there are
attractive opportunities to provide a quality broadcasting service to the
African American and Hispanic (especially bi-lingual and English speaking
Hispanic programming) populations that together make up in excess of 25% of the
U.S. population.
20
On July 10, 2004, the Company received a certificate from Nevada Minority
Business Council, an affiliate of the National Minority Supplier Development
Council, indicating that the Company qualifies as a Minority Owned and Managed
Company, which has met the certification criteria established by the National
Minority Supplier Development Council. The certification was renewed for a year
On February 1, 2005.
Our financial results depend on a number of factors, including the strength of
the national economy and the local economies served by our affiliate stations,
total advertising dollars dedicated to the markets served by our affiliate
stations, advertising dollars dedicated to the African American and Hispanic
consumers in the markets served by our affiliate stations, our affiliate
stations' audience ratings, our ability to provide interesting minority focused
programming, local market competition from other television stations and other
media, and government regulations and policies, such as the multiple ownership
rules, the ability of Class A affiliate stations to be considered must carry for
cable systems to increase their distribution and the deadlines for television
stations converting to digital signals.
Management is implementing a revenue generation plan that includes local
advertising sales, for company operated stations, securing network advertising
at the best available rate, uplinking other parties signals to the satellite,
plus implementing a Technology plan to assist its affiliates with sale of their
local advertising time. Management intends to increase rates as affiliate
stations are added to the network. The implementation of this comprehensive plan
is expected to have a positive affect upon sales revenues. In addition, the
Company has added a focus to secure carriage agreements with cable and digital
distribution companies.
Revenues
Our primary source of revenue is the sale of advertising and programming time on
our network and local stations. Our revenues are affected primarily by the
advertising rates that we are able to charge for national advertising
commercials on the Urban TV network and that the television stations we manage
on a local basis are able to charge as well as the overall demand for
African-American and Hispanic television advertising time. Advertising rates in
general are determined primarily by:
o the markets covered by broadcast television affiliates,
o the number of competing African-American television stations in the
same market as our affiliate stations,
o the television audience share in the demographic groups targeted by
advertisers, and
o the supply and demand for African-American advertising time.
Seasonal fluctuations are also common to the broadcast industry and are due
primarily to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by national and local
advertisers. The first calendar quarter typically produces the lowest broadcast
revenues for the year because of the normal post-holiday decreases in
advertising.
Currently most of our network advertising has been sold to direct response and
per inquiry advertisers. Going forward, we plan to deploy a network advertising
team consisting of account executives that will solicit advertising directly
from national advertisers as well as soliciting advertising from national
advertising agencies. Locally managed stations will also have account executives
that will solicit local and national advertising directly from advertisers and
from advertising agencies in the local markets.
We market our advertising time on the Urban Television network to:
o Advertising agencies and independent advertisers. We market commercial
time to advertising agencies and independent advertisers. The monetary
value of this time is based upon the estimated size of the viewing
audience; the larger the audience, the more we are able to charge for
the advertising time.
21
To measure the size of a viewing audience, networks and stations
generally subscribe to nationally recognized rating services, such as
Nielsen. We do not currently have the resources to subscribe to the
Nielsen service and this hinders our ability to attract the larger
advertising clients. Currently, a number of Urban Television's
affiliate stations are located in the smaller market areas of the
country, which is also not as desirable to the larger advertising
clients. Our goal is to enter into affiliate agreements with
television stations located in the top demographic market areas
(ideally stations that are already on a cable system), which would
give us the ability to justify the cost of Nielsen ratings that would
in turn justify charging higher rates for our advertising time.
o Affiliate Stations. In exchange for providing programming and
advertising time to our affiliate stations, we retain advertising time
and gain access to the affiliate stations' markets. In a traditional
broadcasting contract, an affiliate station would retain all available
advertising time, which it would then sell to outside advertisers, and
the network would receive a fee from the affiliate station. However,
we believe that with a network such as ours that currently is composed
primarily of small independent low power stations that cannot afford a
significant affiliation fee, we will have the ability to generate
larger revenues over time by taking half of the affiliates advertising
time, aggregating a number of the affiliate stations and accumulating
a large household coverage base. This household coverage base of over
the air broadcast television stations (which a portion will be on
local cable in their local markets) can then be used to market the
retained commercial time to outside advertisers. Advertising time is
generally a component of the programming contract with affiliate
stations. As a result, our advertising spots are inserted into the
programs that go to the affiliates and we do have to separately market
the advertising time to our affiliate stations.
o Program Owners: In exchange for licensing rights to select
programming, the program owner retains half of the available
advertising time in each program and we as the network get the other
half of the available advertising time in each program. The program
owner is then able to sell the advertising time he retains to outside
parties. We obtain programming by contracting with program owners at
the annual National Association of Television Program Executives
convention and by contracting with program owners who during the year
are looking for distributions sources. In the future, to acquire
certain exclusive, original or first-run usage and licenses for
programming, we may be required to incur upfront programming expenses.
Expenses
Our most significant expenses are satellite and uplink transmission costs,
master control costs, technology expenses, employee compensation, advertising
and promotional expenses, and production and programming expenses. In cases,
where we may in the future incur upfront programming expenses to procure
exclusive programming usages and licenses, upfront payments will, in most cases,
be amortized over the applicable contract term. Until cash flow permits, we do
not expect to acquire exclusive programming usages and licenses that require up
front costs. We will maintain tight controls over our operating expenses by
contracting master control and centralizing network programming, finance, human
resources and management information system functions. Depreciation of fixed
assets and amortization of costs associated with the acquisition of additional
stations are also significant elements in determining our total expense level.
As a result of attracting key officers and personnel to Urban Television, we may
offer stock grants or options as an alternate form of compensation. In the event
that the strike price of the stock option is less than the fair market value of
the stock on the date of grant, any difference will be amortized as compensation
expense over the vesting period of the stock options.
22
Our monthly operating expense level may vary from month to month due primarily
to the timing of significant advertising and promotion expenses. We will incur
significant advertising and promotion expenses associated with the growth of
Urban Television and with the establishment of our presence in new markets
associated with any new station lease or acquisition agreements. Increased
advertising revenue associated with these advertising and promotional expenses
will typically lag behind the incurrence of these expenses.
Advertising and Program Time Sales
The majority of all revenues generated come from the sale of national
advertising spots and program time slots and from advertising spots and program
time slots on managed local television stations.
Network Advertising. All operated stations as well as affiliates have a
percentage of available commercial time dedicated for "network" sales. The
commercials sold on the network are broadcast simultaneously and aired in the
affiliate markets that are at that time airing the network's programming.
National Spot Advertising. National advertisers have the opportunity to buy
"spot" advertising in specific markets. For example, an advertising agency in
New York would could use spot advertising to purchase commercials in Dallas or
Oklahoma City.
Currently the Company generates its Network and National spot advertising sales.
The Company's plan is to have the yet to be established sales personnel located
in all major markets that have a large concentration of advertising agencies
targeting the African-American market. The sales of our local spot advertising
would them be generated by these local sales staff personnel placed at each of
our television stations.
Local Spot Advertising. Advertising agencies and businesses located in specific
markets will buy commercial air-time in their respective market. This commercial
time will be sold in the market by a local sales force or as a specific buy from
a national client. Local spot advertising also includes event marketing. In
conjunction with a spot buy, the station incorporates events that may be held on
the premise of a business or advertiser for the purpose of driving traffic to
that place of business.
Program Time Sales. Also known as long-form programs are sold on the network and
on locally managed stations to companies wanting to purchase the television time
and air their own programs.
Results of Operations
Urban Television Network Corporation - Historical Results for the three month
and six month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
REVENUES. Revenues are primarily derived from sales of advertising and
programming time. Revenues for the three months and six months ended March 31,
2005 were $70,117 and $170,133 compared to $31,196 and $57,167 for the three
months and six month periods ended March 31, 2004. The increase in revenues of
$38,921 and $112,966 for the three and six months periods ended March 31, 2005
is primarily attributable to increased revenues from sales of program time and
advertising spots. The Company is still in the process of implementing its
revenue generation plan that includes local advertising sales, for company
operated stations, securing network advertising at the best available rate,
uplinking other parties signals to the satellite, plus implementing a technology
plan to assist its affiliates with sale of their local advertising time.
The operations are still in the growth stages and the Company is dependent upon
working capital derived from management, significant shareholders and private
investors to provide sufficient working capital. There is no assurance, however,
that the Company will be able to generate the necessary working capital needs
from these sources.
23
OPERATING RESULTS. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 the

-------- -------- -------- --------
The cost of satellite and uplink services decreased by $27,782 in the three
months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004 primarily as the result of the
Company reducing its facilities costs by moving its master control facilities
from the Verestar uplink facilities to its own facilities in Arlington, Texas in
April of 2004.
The cost of satellite and uplink services decreased by $25,802 in the six months
ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004 primarily as the result of the Company
reducing its facilities costs by moving its master control facilities from the
Verestar uplink facilities to its own facilities in Arlington, Texas in April of
2004.
The cost of master control and production decreased by $49,572 for the six
months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004 primarily as the result
reduction in in expenses by moving its master control facilities from the
Verestar uplink facilities to its own facilities in Arlington, Texas in April of
2004 and moving from a tape based system to a digital system.
Affiliate relations costs increased for the six months ended March 31, 2005 as
compared to 2004 primarily as the result of adding additional personnel to
manage the networks television affiliates.
Programming costs increased for the six months ended March 31, 2005 as compared
to 2004 primarily as the result of adding additional personnel to work with
program suppliers and develop original programming for the Company.
The costs of operations for stations increased by $12,887 for six months ended
March 31, 2004 as compared to 2003 primarily as the result of the increased
monthly lease costs of the Oklahoma City station.
The technology expenses increased by $11,184 for the three months ended March
31, 2004 as compared to 2003 due primarily to $18,000 of technology consulting
expenses being expensed to technology development rather than master control.
The technology expenses increased by $38,187 for the six months ended March 31,
2004 as compared to 2003 due primarily to $34,750 of technology consulting
expenses being expensed to technology development rather than master control.
Administration expenses of $1,034,129 for the three months ended March 31, 2005
increased by $787,790 or 320% over the administrative expenses of $246,339 for
the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Administration expenses of $1,633,528 for the six months ended March 31, 2005
increased by $1,098,816 or 205% over the administrative expenses of $534,712 for
the six months ended March 2004.

The increase in administrative costs is due to the Company adding additional
management in the current fiscal year.
Stock based compensation increased for the three and six months periods ended
March 31, 2005 as compared to the same periods for 2004 primarily due to shares
being issued to new management ($500,000), board members ($110,000), consultants
($86,000) and to $140,000 to Wright Entertainment LLC for resigning from
management and terminating its stock subscription agreement.
The decreases in consulting fees is due the Company replacing consultants with
additional management personnel.
The increases in expenses associated with the Las Vegas office is due to the
costs associated with the resignation and termination of the stock subscription
agreement by Lonnie G. Wright and Wright Entertainment LLC. These direct
expenses were $287,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and $447,500
for the six months ended March 31, 2005. The $447,500 is made up of $307,500 in
cash and note payable and $140,000 value assigned to 1,200,000 shares of common
stock issued to Wright Entertainment LLC.
The increases in commissions is attributed to the Company increasing its sales
for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2205 as compared to the
same periods ending in 2004.
The decreases in travel and conventions is related to the Company's reduced
travel related cost associated with the minority ownership no longer being
located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The increases in legal expenses is due legal fees associated with the pursuit of
sources of capital for the Company and with the continued legal requirements
regarding permanent injunction obtained by the Company against Walter E. Morgan,
Jr.
The decrease in public relations for the six months ended March 31, 2005 as
compared to the six months ended March 31, 2004 is due to the $7,250 cost
associated with a media event held in Las Vegas in November of 2004 announcing
the new minority ownership position of Wright Entertainment LLC.
Internet cost decreased during the three and six month periods ended March 31,
2005 is due to the Company securing its own high speed Internet line at the
corporate offices, rather than contracting with an outsider provider.
The decrease in supplies - digital operations during the three and six month
periods ended March 31, 2005 due to the Company's beginning in 2004 its
conversion from a tape digital based operations for its program insertions.
25
The increase in telephone related costs for the six months ended March 31, 2005
as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2004 is due to the Company
incurring a one time cost of $14,500 related to the installation of video fiber
from the Arlington master control facilities to the Verestar uplink facilities
in De Soto, Texas and the monthly cost of the video fiber service.
The decrease marketing, printing and promotions for the six months ended March
31, 2005 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2004 is due to the
Company developing marketing brochures and sponsoring events to promote the
network in 2004 that the Company has not incurred to date in 2005.
Operating Results:
The Company had operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and
2004 of $1,300,539 and $545,569, respectively. The increase of $754,970 from
2005 to 2004 is due primarily to the $787,790 increase in administrative
expenses as detailed above and as can be observed is primarily related to the
$520,000 increase in stock based compensation and to the $256,800 increase in
Las Vegas office expenses resulting from the agreement with Lonnie G. Wright to
resign from the Company and the termination of the Wright Entertainment LLC
stock purchase agreement.
The Company had operating losses for the six months ended March 31, 2005 and
2004 of $2,131,263 and $1,141,966, respectively. The increase of $989,297 from
2005 to 2004 is due primarily to the $1,098,816 increase in administrative
expenses as detailed above and as can be observed is primarily related to the
$646,000 increase in stock based compensation and to the $426,929 increase in
Las Vegas office expenses resulting from the agreement with Lonnie G. Wright to
resign from the Company and the termination of the Wright Entertainment LLC
stock purchase agreement.
EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK. Income (loss) per common share is calculated
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic net income
(loss) per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number
of additional common shares that would have outstanding if the potential common
shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Stock
options and warrants are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, are not included in the
calculation of income (loss) per share. The basic and diluted net loss per share
of common stock was $0.01 and $0.01 for the three months March 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. The basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock was
$0.02 and $0.03 for the six months March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have financed our operations through a combination of loans from
stockholders, proceeds from convertible promissory notes and revenues generated
from operations. The Company has incurred cumulative losses of $17,733,708 from
the inception of the Company through March 31, 2005.
Current liabilities at March 31, 2005 were $1,466,816 which exceeded current
assets of $203,692 by $1,263,124. The Company's cash position at March 31, 2005
was $195,932, a increase of $186,937 from the position at September 30, 2004. As
discussed below, the Company's ability to continue its growth will require
additional funds from various sources. If adequate funds are not available on
acceptable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition
could be materially adversely affected. In a worse case scenario, we would have
to scale back or cease operations, and we might not be able to remain a viable
entity. Accrued compensation is the result of management deferring a portion of
their annual compensation until the Company has funds available. Deferred income
is the result of the Company receiving full payment for a year contract to air
programming, which amount is being amortized on a monthly basis as the
programming is aired.
Our continued growth, will require additional funds that may come from a variety
of sources, including shareholder loans, equity or debt issuances, bank
borrowings and capital lease financings. We currently intend to use any funds
raised through these sources to fund various aspects of our continued growth,
including funding our working capital needs, acquisition of new stations,
performing digital upgrades of acquired stations, funding key programming
acquisitions, performing station capital upgrades, securing cable connections,
funding master control/ network equipment upgrades, making strategic
investments.
26
The Company's licensing agreements with program suppliers are generally for a
term of 13 to 52 weeks and are cancelable by either party upon thirty (30) days
written notice. These license agreements provide the Company with a source of
revenue by the Company's right to insert commercial spots during the programs.
The Company's policy is to recognize the revenue associated with these sources
of revenue at the time that it inserts the short-form advertising spots or airs
the long-form program at the network or local level. As the Company continues to
grow, it has been entering into new license agreements to replace existing
licenses for programs that do not fit into the Company's business model for a
minority focused television network. The cancelable feature of these license
agreements could effect the Company's source of revenue generation should a
program be cancelled by a licensor and the Company not be able to replace it
within the 30 day notice of cancellation period.
We had net losses $1,306,546 and $546,792 for the three months ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively and $ 2,143,274 and $1,145,071 for the six months
ended March, 31 2005 and 2004, respectively. We expect these losses to continue
as we incur operating expenses in the growth of the Company's television network
and its affiliate base and convert them to an African American format. We
currently anticipate that our revenues as well as cash from financings and
equity sales will be sufficient to satisfy operating expenses by the end of
fiscal 2005. We may need to raise additional funds, however. If adequate funds
are not available on acceptable terms, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
RISK FACTORS
We are subject to a high degree of risk as we are considered to be in unsound
financial condition. The following risks, if any one or more occurs, could
materially harm our business, financial condition or future results of
operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risks
factors include, but are not limited to, our limited operating history, history
of operating losses, the inability to obtain for additional capital, the failure
to successfully expand our operations, the competition in the television
industry from competitors with substantially greater resources, the legal and
regulatory requirements and uncertainties related to our industry, the inability
to enter into strategic partnerships with major advertisers, the loss of key
personnel, adverse economic conditions, the control of our common stock by our
management, the classification of our common stock as "penny stock," the absence
of any right to dividends, the costs associated with the issuance of and the
rights granted to additional securities, the unpredictability of the trading of
our common stock.
For a more detailed discussion as to the risks related to Urban Television
Network Corporation, our industry and our common stock, please see the section
entitled, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - Risk
Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 13, 2005.
Financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2005 include:
1) Issuance of common stock in lieu of cash payments totaling $836,000 for
management and consulting services.
2) Bridge loan subscriptions of $508,541 for convertible bridge loans with
interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum with a consortium of private
investors. The bridge loan lenders have the option to convert their loans into
common stock of the Company. During the six months ended March 31, 2005, bridge
loan lenders of $708,550 elected to convert their bridge loan to 6,158,202
shares of common stock, which averaged of $.11 per shares.
3) The Company received $400,000 cash as payments on the World One Media
Group, Inc. subscription agreement as discussed in Footnote 9 to the Financial
Statements and in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report
4) The Company received $265,000 cash as advances from a non-related party
that the Company expects to convert to a note payable with a term of at least
one year
In addition, common stock may also be issued for conversion or settlement of
debt and/or payables for equity, future obligations which may be satisfied by
the issuance of common shares, and other transactions and agreements which may
in the future result in the issuance of additional common shares.The common
shares that the Company may issue in the future could significantly increase the
number of shares outstanding and could be extremely dilutive.
27
Impact of Inflation
Management does not believe that general inflation has had or will have a
material effect on operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
are based on the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Note 1 of the Notes describes the
significant accounting policies essential to the financial statements. The
preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
We believe the following to be critical accounting policies and estimates. That
is, they are both important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition and results, and they require significant management judgment and
estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. As a result of inherent
uncertainty, there is a likelihood that materially different amounts would be
reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Although we
believe that our judgments and estimates are reasonable, appropriate and
correct, actual future results may differ materially from our estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's sources of revenues include the sale of short-term national and
local spot advertising and long-form program time slots. The Company's policy is
to recognize the revenue associated with these sources of revenue at the time
that it inserts the short-form advertising spots or airs the long-form program
at the network or local level.
Non Goodwill Intangible Assets
Intangible assets other than goodwill consist of network assets acquired by
purchase. They are being amortized over their expected lives of 5 years and are
reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. No impairment loss was recognized
during the reporting periods. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. This
provides that a recognized intangible shall be amortized over its useful life to
the reporting entity unless that life is determined to be indefinite. The amount
of an intangible asset to be amortized shall be the amount initially assigned to
that asset less any residual value.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services
based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and accounts for equity
instruments issued to other than employees based on the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is
more reliably measurable. The determined value is recognized as an expense in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to certain claims and
legal proceedings. The Company records an accrued liability for these matters
when an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the potential liability is
reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that the resolution of these
matters will have a material effect upon its financial condition, results of
operations, or cash flows for an interim or annual period.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including the Company's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rule 13a-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to insure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required
time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or
our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control
system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources,
and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of a control. The design of a control system
is also based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Although unlikely, due to the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
Conclusions
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our president
concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above and as of the evaluation
date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the
information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in such
reports within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control.
Subsequent to the date of such evaluation as described in subparagraph (a)
above, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or other
factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective
action with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
