PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. Detour Media Group, Inc., f/k/a Detour Magazine, Inc. ("we," "our," "us," the "Company" or "Detour") is engaged principally in the publication and distribution of Detour Magazine ("Detour"), an internationally distributed magazine best known for presentation of cutting-edge trends and strong editorial focus in fashion, entertainment, lifestyle and contemporary social issues. Our mission is to be the premier urban avant-garde publication devoted to these topics, thereby attracting a readership consisting primarily of affluent and style conscious men and women in the 18 to 35 age group. We have derived revenues primarily from advertising in the magazine and, to a lesser extent, from subscription and newsstand sales. Our magazine has been published since 1987. Through December 31, 2000, the magazine was published ten times a year, with two double issues per year. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, print runs were cut and only four issues of the magazine were published. The last issue was the Fall Fashion issue published in October 2001, after which we were forced to discontinue publication caused by our lack of available cash and our distressed financial condition. We intend to relaunch publication of our magazine in the third quarter of 2002, in accordance with our new business plan discussed below under "New Business Plan.". DETOUR MAGAZINE To distinguish itself from other entertainment publications, Detour Magazine attempts to identify and feature entertainers and media personalities well before they reach widespread recognition and the level of conventional acceptance which typifies its competition, and is devoted to contemporary lifestyles, entertainment and fashion. This in part accounts for Detour Magazines's image as a "cutting-edge" magazine featuring tomorrow's personalities. Editorials follow the same focus, providing insight into and publicity for entertainers and media personalities who have not yet received widespread recognition, as well as new trends and styles as they first emerge. Detour Magazine prides itself on some of the most talked about and respected photo journalism and editorials in the industry. Since inception, our magazine has been supported by over 375 national advertisers, primarily in the fashion, footwear, eyewear, jewelry, watch, fragrance, cosmetics, film, television, music, liquor and tobacco industries. During 2001, our advertising 4
10KSB5th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
customers included, among others, Apple Computers, Bacardi, Beefeater, Bombay Sapphire, Calvin Klein, Christian Dior, Diesel, Evian, FILA, Gap, Hard Rock Hotel, Helvetia Watches, Khalua, Lexus, Lucky Strike, Motorola, Parliament, Perrier, Polo Jeans, PumaSketchers, Skyy Spirits, Tanquary, Universal Music, Virginia Slims and Warner Bros. Records. Advertising revenues accounted for virtually all of our total revenues during 2001. Other than Virginia Slims, who accounted for approximately 6% ($62,300) of our revenues during 2001, no other advertiser accounted for 5% or more of our advertising revenues. Commencing with the May 2000 issue, the magazine has been distributed by Curtis Circulation Company ("Curtis"). Curtis is a leading international distributor. Detour's reputation as a cutting-edge fashion and entertainment magazine has translated into a readership profile comprised of an attractive audience for advertisers. Detour's average reader is a 29 year old professional, with an average income in excess of $75,000+ per year. Over 60% of the readers are single, and 74% percent have obtained college degrees. The average reader of Detour spends over $15,000 per year on clothing and dines out 2.6 times per week based upon a reader's survey conducted in Detour Magazine during the year 2000. We remain committed to our long-standing editorial mission: to be the premier urban avant-garde publication devoted to entertainment, fashion lifestyle and contemporary social issues. Our targeted audience of affluent, educated and creative professionals thrives on new information about the latest cultural trends. Long before assimilating into the mainstream, styles and trends begin on the margins, which is where Detour, as its name implies, derives its sensibility - off the beaten path, miles from the safe, familiar, well-paved roads of the pop-culture highway. Over the past year, in a dual effort to reinforce our image as an essential fashion resource and to attract coveted fashion advertisers, we have featured 30-60 pages of fashion pictorials in each issue and it is expected that we will continue to do so in the future, provided that we are financially able to begin publishing the magazine again in the future. Our ability to do so is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing, of which there can be no assurance. In addition, we have expanded our style coverage to include service pages devoted to health and beauty, as well as profiles of new stores, restaurants, products and accessories, which we believe provides enhanced opportunities for advertisers. Management does not expect to change the content or format of Detour Magazine materially beyond editorial changes necessary to 5
10KSB6th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
broaden the magazine's appeal within the target readership, including making the magazine more visual by continuing to seek out both established and rising photographers. NEW BUSINESS STRATEGY During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, print runs were cut by nearly half and only four issues of the magazine appeared, the Fall Fashion issue being published in October 2001, after which we were forced to discontinue publication as a result of our lack of cash availability and our distressed financial condition. In January 2002, we completed a new business plan which we believe approaches the future on a disciplined, focused, prioritized and phased basis, which is described in detail below. Phase 1 Execute a Financial Reorganization - We are currently in a distressed financial condition that has resulted in a cessation of publication. While measures have been taken to reduce the operating budget, an influx of approximately $5 million dollars of equity capital is required to not only effect a financial reorganization, but also to provide sufficient working capital going forward. Liquidation of existing loans and accounts and accrued expenses payable are anticipated to include conversion of debt to equity, forgiveness of debt and prorated cash settlements. In the interim, the magazine will remain on hiatus. Assuming we are able to secure such financing by April 30, 2002, of which there can be no assurance, publication would recommence with the September 2002 issue. Phase 2 Effect Key Outsourcing Relationships - Many publishers, including Detour, rely on outside entities for printing, single copy distribution, subscription circulation and fulfillment services. Under the new business plan, Detour will initially outsource a number of other key functions as well, including advertising sales, barter sales, and licensing. While the entities that perform such functions typically command a significant fee, the rationale for pursuing this strategy is twofold. It will (i) enable us to keep our operating expenses as low as possible; and (ii) significantly elevate the magnitude and quality of resources working on our behalf. If and when our business grows to a point where it makes both economic and operational sense to bring one or more of these functions in-house, we will do so. 6
10KSB7th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
Relaunch the Magazine - Relaunching the magazine will entail the following: Branding - We will transform the current Detour name and logotype into a brand identity that captures and manifests the iconoclastic essence of the magazine and its readers as trendsetters who "take the road less traveled." Circulation: To rebuild the magazine's circulation, we will undertake the following measures: - Single Copy Sales - Over the course of its history, Detour's single copy sell-through rate has ranged from a low 14% to an acceptable 42%. Going forward, we will seek to assure a consistently high sell-through rate by: (i) Hiring a quality distributor; (ii) Focusing distribution in selected major, urban, hip population centers like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Atlanta and Seattle; (iii) Further focusing distribution within each of these markets into selected, demographically appropriate retail channels such as newsstands, bookstores, airline terminals and commuter rail terminals; (iv) Supporting the retailers with meaningful POS promotions and display materials. (v) Refining our sales forecasting. Perhaps the single most important component of achieving an acceptable sell-through rate is the sales forecast. While quality distributors regularly provide publishers with detailed reports that can serve as the basis for formulating and assessing their sales forecasts, we have not historically assigned someone to the task. - Subscription Sales - At peak, Detour had a small fraction of subscribers compared to the industry average of 84%. Going forward, we will proactively pursue subscriptions. This will entail: (i) Investing in the printing and insertion of subscription solicitation cards in the magazine. 7
10KSB8th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
(ii) Hiring top quality subscription circulation and fulfillment house services. (iii) Providing complimentary copies to guests of selected hotels, airline club lounges, beauty salons, etc. (iv) Implementing an array of direct response campaigns, ranging traditional direct mail to piggybacking samples or teasers of the magazine with other demographically compatible, metro- oriented publications. - Expand Editorial/Advertising Appeal - We will seek to attract a broader range of advertisers by: (i) Hiring quality advertising and barter sales agencies. (ii) Creating synergy between the magazine's editorial content and the advertising community. (iii) Consistent and concurrent with focusing single copy distribution in major metro markets, expanding the magazine's editorial coverage of happenings in these markets. By doing so, the magazine will continue to appeal to national advertisers, while also attracting a broad range of quality local advertisers, e.g., hotels, restaurants and clubs, retail malls and stores, beauty salons and spas, cultural and entertainment venues, new residential developments, etc. - Marketing - To effect the relaunch, we will stage a low-cost, high-impact marketing, public relations, promotion, direct mail/response and POS campaign. It should be noted that a number of our advertisers, along with various media outlets, will, as they traditionally do, contribute to a significant portion of the cost of the sweepstakes promotion. - Web Site - We launched two web sites in 2000. However, neither was modeled to generate revenues or yield efficiencies. Under the new business plan, a web site will be maintained, but its functions limited to the following: 8
10KSB9th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
- A picture of the current issue's cover and a listing of its table of contents, as well as a teaser of the content in the next issue. - A means for the consumer to obtain and renew a subscription, change a mailing address, find a retailer that sells the magazine, order a back issue, write a letter to the editor or otherwise contact the magazine, as well as purchase Detour branded merchandise (when available). - A means for advertisers and agencies to order a Media Kit. - Install a New Management Team - While Detour has some very talented people, as is self-evident from looking at the magazine itself, we are currently recruiting to fill the vacant positions of Publisher/COO and CFO. Phase 3 Catalyze International Editions - Although Detour's distribution to date has been limited to North America, we ultimately foresee editions in Asia (Japan), Europe (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) and South/Latin America (a South/Latin America Spanish language edition, plus a separate Portuguese language edition in Brazil). While no assurances can be provided and subject to our receipt of sufficient equity capital, it is anticipated that the first two international editions will not premier until September 2003, while the next four editions will be introduced over the course of 2004 and the remaining two editions beyond. It is envisioned that these endeavors will be structured so that the international publishers will: a) have the exclusive magazine publishing and distribution rights to the Detour name, logo and editorial content, as well as the latitude to create original content for their respective territories, b) be responsible for all start-up and on-going expenses, and c) pay us royalties against net revenues. Exploit the Brand as an Intellectual Property - As with the international editions, once the magazine has been reestablished, and the enhanced branding concept has taken hold, we will hire a quality licensing agency to begin to fulfill Detour's potential as an intellectual property asset that can be legitimately extended and applied across other media platforms including television, radio, film, books, music, etc., as well as against various types of products and 9
10KSB10th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
services such as apparel, accessories, cafes or clubs and travel. Phase 4 Pursue Roll-Ups - The soft economic environment has put pressure on all advertising dependent media, including the magazine publishing business. As a result, there are, and will continue to be, a number of potentially attractive magazines available for sale in the foreseeable future. The operating efficiencies (overhead, advertising sales, etc.) and enhanced leverage (printing, distribution, etc.) that accrue to a multi- versus single-title publisher can be substantial. Therefore, we will assess potential roll-up candidates and, should a compelling opportunity emerge, may seek to acquire same using our stock as currency, augmented by discrete financing. While we are committed to focusing on our core magazine publishing business during the forecast period, our long-term vision includes extending our content creation and intellectual property exploitation expertise to other media as well. CONSULTING AGREEMENTS In order to assist us in our implementation of our new business plan and in our efforts to raise additional capital, we entered into various agreements with third parties, including the following: In October 2001, we entered into a one year, non-exclusive Finder's Fee Agreement and a non-exclusive Consulting Agreement with Lexington Ventures, Inc,. Los Angeles, CA, ("Lexington"). These agreements provide for Lexington to assist us in our attempts to raise additional funding. The Finder's Fee Agreement provides for us to pay to Lexington a finder's fee equal to 10% of gross proceeds which we may receive as a result of introductions to prospective investors which are provided by Lexington. In addition, if we receive a minimum of $1 million and a maximum of $2 million from investors introduced by Lexington, we have agreed to issue to Lexington warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in an amount equal to 0.0015%, multiplied by the fully diluted number of shares our outstanding common stock immediately following the closing of such financing (including any securities issued as part of such financing). The exercise price of these warrants will be equal to the price at which our common stock is sold in such financing and the agreement provides for "piggyback" registration rights applicable to the shares underlying the warrants. Further, we have also agreed to pay a transaction fee to Lexington in an amount equal to 5% of the initial million dollars received, 4% of 10
10KSB11th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
the second million, 3% of the third million, 2% of the fourth million and 1% thereafter. If Lexington performs under this agreement and we elect not to proceed, it is entitled to receive either one-third of the fees which would have been payable. Under the Consulting Agreement with Lexington, it has agreed to provide assistance to us in identifying, developing and promoting the formation of relationships with persons that may be beneficial to implementation of our new business plan, including potential strategic partners, merger or acquisition candidates, customers, business contacts, employees, agents, consultants or other valuable contacts. In exchange therefore, we agreed to issue to Lexington 350,000 warrants, each warrant exercisable to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $.04 per warrant and are exercisable for five (5) years from the date of issuance. In November 2001, we entered into a non-exclusive agreement with Rockann Enterprises, Inc. ("REI"), a privately held company based in Los Angeles, CA, to provide us with consulting services. The services are to be conducted in two phases, including (i) preparation of a revised business plan, resolving outstanding creditor issues, identifying potential prospective management candidates and identifying potential investors. Phase two only commences if we close a minimum of $2 million in financing from any sources within one year of the commencement of the agreement. Thereafter, REI will assist us in developing a branding concept, relaunching of our magazine, identifying potential strategic partners, international partners, roll-up candidates and third party licenses. As compensation therefore, we did agree to pay REI an aggregate of $55,000, payable $25,000 upon execution and $5,000 a month thereafter for six (6) months. However, if we receive financing resulting from an introduction provided by REI, REI will also receive 10% of the gross proceeds of such financing, as well as warrants equal to 10% of the number of shares issued in such financing, which shall be exercisable at the financing offering price for a period of five years. The shares of common stock underlying these warrants shall have "piggyback" registration rights. In December 2001, we entered into two (2) separate Engagement Fee Agreements with EST Consulting, Inc, Boardman, Ohio and Suffield Financial Group, LLC, Bloomfield, CT, respectively. These agreements provide for each of the aforesaid entities to provide us with financial consulting services. The terms of these agreements provide for the payment of fees in the event either of the applicable entities provides us with equity capital, either directly or indirectly. 11

Subsequent Events Between January 1, 2002 and March 31, 2002, we received $193,500 in additional advances from Ed Stein, our President and Chairman. In addition, we borrowed an additional $111,600 from 1970 Asset Management Corp., an unaffiliated creditor. These funds were utilized to pay certain obligations necessary to allow us to continue to remain in business. These loans accrue interest at the rate of 11% per annum and are due upon demand. EMPLOYEES At March 15, 2002, we had 3 full time employees retained as a "core-group" during our reorganization period; president/CEO, editor in chief and creative director, in addition to several consultants attending to financial, administrative and going- forward business plan matters. If and when we receive a commitment on obtaining a $5 million capital infusion, we will employ the new management team and rehire and /or newly hire the staff necessary to relaunch and publish the magazine. In that eventuality, we will also engage additional persons on an "as needed" basis and outsource certain operational activities on a part time or independent contractor basis. Management believes that our relationship with our employees is satisfactory. No employee is a member of any union. COMPETITION We compete with publicly and privately held companies in the publishing business. Specifically, management views Interview (circulation 150,000), Paper (circulation 75,000) and Surface Magazine (circulation 50,000) as our principal magazine competitors, each of whom are believed to have greater resources, both financial and otherwise, than the resources presently available to us. TRADEMARKS We have been issued a federal registration of the trademark Detour with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Washington, D.C. and the application has been assigned a filing date of September 2, 1997, Serial No. 75-350798. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS We are not subject to any extraordinary governmental regulations relating to our business. 12
10KSB13th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY We vacated our previous principal place of business at 7060 Hollywood Blvd., Suite 1150, Los Angeles, California at the expiration of our lease on February 28, 2002. Our temporary address is 10008 National Blvd. #345, Los Angeles, California 90034, which is merely a mailing address which we have rented for a three month period, at a cost of $30 per month. No formal business activities are undertaken at this location as of the date of this Report. Effective April 1, 2002, we also leased approximately 150 square feet of executive office space at 1925 Century Park East, Suite 500, Los Angeles, CA 90067. We leased this space on a month to month basis at a cost of $950 per month. As of the date of this Report, we are reviewing our space requirements and are beginning to seek out a more permanent suitable location in anticipation of relaunching the magazine during the third quarter 2002 in accordance with our business plan. However, no definitive decision has been made concerning this matter. We own no other property, other than general office equipment. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In February 2002, we commenced an action against Andrew Left, our former President, which action has been filed in the Superior Court for the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC269050, for the recovery of approximately $25,000, plus costs, interest and exemplary and punitive damages. Our complaint alleges fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty and unlawful monetary conversion. As of the date of this Report, our complaint has been filed and we are awaiting the filing of an answer. While no assurances can be provided, we are optimistic that we will be successful in this matter. In June 2001, our former publisher, Barbara Zowlocki and her company, BZI Media Services, Inc. obtained a judgment against us in the principal amount of $59,186, arising out of sums due Ms. Zowlocki for services rendered to us. Approximately $52,000 remains due on this judgment. In August 2001,a judgment in the principal amount of $144,714 was entered against us and in favor of Western Laser Graphics, Inc., one of our prior printers. As of the date of this Report, this judgment remains outstanding. In July 2001, a judgment in the principal amount of $180,473 was entered against us and in favor of Gottesman, Inc. This judgment remains outstanding. 13
10KSB14th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
Numerous other judgments have been entered against us and we have been named as a defendant in several other lawsuits in the normal course of our business. We have also received numerous threats of pending litigation from our creditors who hold delinquent notes and other obligations. See "Part II, Item 6, Management's Discussion - Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for a detailed description of these obligations. It is anticipated that we will enter into settlement negotiations to resolve these matters if and when we receive additional funding. Except for those matters specifically discussed above, and in the "Liquidity and Capital Resource" section, in the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters will not have a material affect on our financial statements. See "Part II, Item 6, Management's Discussion - Liquidity and Capital Resources." ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS (a) Market Information. Our common stock is traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board. The table below sets forth the reported high and low bid prices for the periods indicated. The bid prices shown reflect quotations between dealers, without adjustment for markups, markdowns or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions in our securities. Bid Price Quarter Ended High Low ------------- ---- --- March 31, 2000 $1.02 $0.17 June 30, 2000 $1.09 $0.375 September 30, 2000 $1.01 $0.53 December 31, 2000 $0.688 $0.22 Bid Price Quarter Ended High Low ------------- ---- --- March 31, 2001 $0.34 $0.1675 June 30, 2001 $0.26 $0.10 September 30, 2001 $0.165 $0.025 December 31, 2001 $0.10 $0.011 As of April 11, 2002, the closing bid price of our common stock was $.02. 14
10KSB15th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
(b) Holders. As of March 30, 2002, there were 100 holders of record of our common stock, not including those persons who hold their shares in "street name." (c) Dividends. We did not pay any dividends on our common stock during the two years ended December 31, 2001. Pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado, a corporation may not issue a distribution if, after giving its effect, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they became due in the usual course of business, or such corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of their total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. As a result, management does not foresee that we will have the ability to pay a dividend on our common stock in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. See "Part II, Item 7, Financial Statements." ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this Report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward looking statements. The following information is intended to highlight developments in our operations, to present the results of our operations, to identify key trends affecting our business and to identify other factors affecting our results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. 15

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 Total revenues decreased from $3,995,820 in 2000 to $1,197,966 in 2001, a decrease of $2,797,854 (70%). This decrease was attributable to only four issues of our magazine being published during this period, compared to two double issues and eight single issues being published during the year ended December 31, 2001, resulting in a decrease of advertising revenue, our principal source of revenue, as well as newsstand and subscription revenues. Costs of sales were $2,804,395 in 2000, compared to $782,692 in 2001, a decrease of $2,021,702 (72%), which was also due to the publication of only four issues of our magazine during the applicable period, compared to two double issues and eight single issues in 2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,141,071 in 2000, compared to $3,000,130 in 2001, a decrease of $3,228,577 (53%). This decrease was attributable to reduced salary costs, closing of the New York office, and a significant reduction in financial marketing expenses, which included a substantial reduction in issuances of the Company's warrants in lieu of cash fees to financial consultants with regard to equity and debt financings and consulting, and related costs. Our interest expense decreased from $1,150,790 during 2000, to $921,019 during 2001, as a result of the conversion of $1,072,913 of principal debt during the applicable period, thereby eliminating additional interest expense to the extent of the principal reduction on those obligations. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $(3,509,419) in 2001 ($0.11 per share), as compared to our net loss of $(6,100,436) ($.30 per share) in 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 2001, we had $9,683 in cash. Accounts receivable decreased to $92,778 from $397,447 for the similar period in 2000, a decrease of $304,669 (77%). The decrease is primarily due to the fact that we published only four issues of our Magazine during the applicable period with considerably advertising billings and related accounts receivable per issue and in the aggregate. 16

Due to our diminished accounts receivable, in June 2001 we terminated our factoring arrangement with Receivable Financing Corp., Boca Raton, Florida (RFI). At December 31, 2001, we had a working capital deficiency of $9,211,609. Due to a lack of working capital, we have been forced to discontinue publishing the magazine following our October Fall Fashion issue. As a result, we do not expect to generate cash flow from operations until the magazine is re-launched, which is not expected until September 2002. We have a significant number of notes payable, most of which were in default at December 31, 2001. We are currently negotiating with these creditors to extend the repayment terms until such time as our new business plan can be implemented, which may include some forgiveness of debt and/or issuance of our common stock to these creditors. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to renegotiate these notes payable. If we are unable to renegotiate the repayment terms of these notes, the impact would be severe. These outstanding notes payable include the following: In August 1998, we obtained a loan in the principal amount of $550,000 from IBF Special Purpose Corporation II to be used for general working capital. This loan currently bears interest at the default rate of 28% per annum and was due December 19, 1998, including a one-time extension fee paid to this lender of $5,500. The loan provides for an exit fee equal to 3% of the original principal amount of the loan ($16,500) and is secured by 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, which were provided by 7 shareholders, including Mr. Stein, who tendered 190,000 shares as part of the security. Mr. Stein has also personally guaranteed this obligation. In December 1998, we repaid $27,500 of the principal balance. We have also paid all interest which had accrued through June 30, 2000. In April 2001, we tendered a payment of $173,760 on this obligation, applied to accrued interest and late fees, and entered into a Forbearance Agreement which provides, among other things, for us to pay this lender $25,000 per month applicable first to interest and then to principal until the entire balance is paid in full. In September and October, 2001, shares of our common stock being held as security were sold for an aggregate principal reduction in the amount of $46,089. Upon payment in full of this loan, the lender will return the balance of the stock provided as security. Interest continues to accrue at the default rate. As at December 31, 2001, interest was paid on a current basis and the principal balance was $447,442. As of the date of this Report, we remain current on this obligation. In December 1999, we obtained a $200,000 loan from Sigmapath Corporation, which accrues interest at the rate of 6% per annum and became due on March 8, 2000. We paid $100,000 on this obligation. In March 2001, an action was filed against us by an officer of Sigmapath to collect the balance of $100,000 remaining due. 17

However, this action was dismissed by the court because the plaintiff who brought the action was not the proper party in interest. Subsequently, we were served with another copy of a complaint in November 2001. See "Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings" above. At December 31, 2001, we had eight other notes payable, in the aggregate principal amount of $802,090, bearing interest at rates ranging from 10% to 14% per annum, all of which require a monthly or quarterly payment of principal and/or interest. These notes are due on demand or past due. During the period October 1, 2001, to December 31, 2001 we borrowed, in the aggregate, $252,000 from 1970 Asset Management Corp. bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Principal and accrued interest on this Note is payable in full on June 30, 2002. In 1995, our majority stockholder loaned us $932,313. In 1996, this note was converted to a demand note, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In 1996, this stockholder subsequently assigned this Note to JCM Capital Corp., a minority stockholder, who, upon information and belief, has assigned portions of this note to other unaffiliated parties. In July 2001, the holders of these various notes agreed to convert this obligation, including all principal and accrued interest, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of approximately $.46 per share. They received 3,237,468 shares of our common stock in the aggregate. These notes were secured by substantially all of our assets, except for accounts receivable. Upon conversion of the notes, the security interest was released. In the periods ended June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2001, we borrowed a total of $1,300,000 in 10% Convertible Debentures from five creditors. Among other terms, the debentures may be converted at any time during a three year term at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $.90 per share, or 80% of the average three lowest closing bid prices of our common stock during the 22 day trading period prior to conversion. In June, July and December, 2001 a total of $125,000 of principal and $13,872 in accrued interest was converted, with the resulting issuance of 3,399,861 shares of our common stock. At December 31, 2001, $1,175,000 of principal remained outstanding. In December 2000, we borrowed $160,000 in 6% Convertible Debentures from eight entities. Among other terms, the debentures may be converted at any time during a five year term at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 120% of the closing bid price or 80% of the average three lowest closing bid prices of our common stock during the 22 day trading period prior to conversion. In December 2001, $15,600 of principal was converted, with the 18
10KSB19th Page of 47TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 19th
resulting issuance of 991,533 shares of our common stock. At December 31, 2001, $144,000 of principal remained outstanding. Advances from stockholder represent advances made by our majority stockholder for working capital purposes. At September 30, 2000, the advances bore interest at 8% per annum and were payable on demand. In March 2000, our majority stockholder agreed to reduce the annual interest rate to 8% from 12%, effective January 1, 2000, and modify the repayment terms. Under the new repayment terms, the advances are repayable in monthly principal installments of $24,000 commencing January 1, 2001. We did not make the principal payments in 2001 and 2000. However, we must use at least 25% of the net proceeds of any financing received by us to repay the advances. Further, all of the advances are due and payable in full at such time as we have received equity financing of at least $10 million. At December 31, 2001, $2,952,293 of principal was outstanding and classified as short-term. Accrued interest payable to the majority stockholder at December 31, 2001, totaled $1,131,872. Interest expense on the advances was $333,245 for the year ended December 31, 2001. We are in default in most of these obligations and some have demanded repayment of the outstanding principal and interest. Our management has been and is currently negotiating with each of these creditors to extend the repayment terms until such time as our business plan is capitalized and the financial reorganization plan can be implemented, which may include some forgiveness of debt and/or issuance of our common stock to these creditors. If we are unable to renegotiate the repayment terms of these notes payable, the impact could be severe. Our viability as a company is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital to continue as a going concern. We are in discussions with investment bankers and others to provide or assist in providing this financing. However, we do not have any written commitments for any of this financing and no assurances can be provided that we will obtain any additional financing. The failure to infuse additional capital into our Company will affect our ability to implement our new business plan. These issues raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. TRENDS In order to implement our business strategy described herein, we need to raise approximately $5 million of capital. In the event all current discussions toward that endeavor terminate, we will have to enter a joint publishing arrangement with other magazine publishers or liquidate. 19

INFLATION Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material affect on our results of operations during 2001. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 20

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Board of Directors and Stockholders Detour Media Group, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Detour Media Group, Inc (formerly known as Detour Magazine, Inc.) as of December 31, 2001, and the related statements of operations, deficit in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Detour Media Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C to the financial statements, the Company has sustained losses from operations in recent years, its total liabilities exceed its total assets, it has a net working capital deficiency and the Company is in default on several of their obligations; these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Detour Media Group, Inc. (formerly known as Detour Magazine, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2001 and 2000 NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Detour Media Group, Inc. formerly known as Detour Magazine, Inc., (the "Company"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on May 18, 1990. The Company is in the business of publishing an international fashion and entertainment magazine. The Company derives its revenue primarily from advertising, with the balance from circulation. The magazine has been published since 1987. Through December 31, 2000, the magazine was published ten times a year with two double issues per year. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, print runs were cut and only four issues of the magazine appeared. The last issue was the Fall Fashion issue published in October 2001, after which the Company was forced to discontinue publication caused by its lack of cash availability and its distressed financial condition. The Company intends on relaunching publication of the magazine in the third quarter 2002, in accordance with its business plan discussed in Note C. NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Revenue Recognition ------------------- Periodicals published and distributed are sold on a fully returnable basis. Revenue and related costs are recognized at the on-sale date and an allowance for returns is established based upon historical experience, current events and assumptions about future events. Management reviews and revises the estimate for returns periodically. Adjustments to income resulting from such revisions are recorded in the year in which the revisions are made. Revenue from the sale of magazine subscriptions, net of certain costs related to their procurement, are deferred and recognized as income over the term of the subscriptions. Advertising revenue is recorded net of agency commissions and is recognized at the on-sale date of related issues. Prepaid Publishing Expenses --------------------------- Certain production expenses and other prepaid expenses related to future periodicals are incurred prior to sale. These costs are recorded as prepaid expenses and charged to cost of sales and other direct expenses at the time the related revenues are recognized. F-7 27

Detour Media Group, Inc. (formerly known as Detour Magazine, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 2001 and 2000 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued Furniture and Equipment ----------------------- Furniture and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. Leased improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lives of the respective leases or over the service lives of the assets. The straight-line method of depreciation is followed for substantially all assets for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The estimated lives used in determining depreciation are five to seven years. Income Taxes ------------ Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized. At December 31, 2001, the Company has approximately $14,300,000 and $10,200,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. The losses expire at various years through 2025 for federal purposes and 2015 for state purposes. The deferred tax asset related to these net operating loss carryforwards is $5,800,000 at December 31, 2000. There are no other significant deferred tax asset or liability amounts at December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized and therefore a valuation allowance has been recorded for 100% of the deferred tax asset. The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory rate due to the increase in the valuation allowance. Concentration of Credit Risk ---------------------------- Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or hedging arrangements. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from transactions with and from customers primarily located in the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. F-8 28

Detour Media Group, Inc. (formerly known as Detour Magazine, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 2001 and 2000 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued Fair Value of Financial Instruments ----------------------------------- The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, short-term trade receivables and payables, short-term and long-term borrowings and amounts due to stockholders. The carrying values of cash and short-term trade receivables and payables approximate their fair values. Based on borrowing rates currently charged to the Company for financing, the carrying values of the short-term and long-term borrowings and amounts due to stockholders approximate their estimated fair values. Using Estimates --------------- In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Advertising Costs ----------------- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses amounted to $379,969 and $597,259 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Segment Reporting ----------------- The Company is centrally managed and operates in one business segment: publishing. Loss per Share -------------- Basic income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options to acquire common stock were exercised. The weighted average number of shares used in the basic and diluted loss per share calculation was 31,895,892 and 20,009,185 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. All potential common shares from the exercise of stock options and warrants have been excluded from the denominator of the diluted per-share computation as a result of the net loss incurred by the Company in 2001 and 2000.

Detour Media Group, Inc. (formerly known as Detour Magazine, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 2001 and 2000 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued Warrants to purchase 3,520,000 and 3,035,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented. NOTE C - GOING CONCERN MATTERS The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of $3,509,419 and $6,100,436 during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. At December 31, 2001, the Company's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $9,326,207 and the Company had a net working capital deficiency of $9,211,609. Following the Fall Fashion issue which was published in October 2001, the Company was forced to discontinue publication of the magazine caused by its lack of cash availability and its distressed financial condition. The Company is also in default of certain notes payable. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. Management has developed a business plan that they believe will improve the operating results of the Company. The primary components of the plan are a financial reorganization, new management team members, effect key outsourcing relationships and re-launch of the magazine. The Company is currently in a distressed financial condition that has resulted in a cessation of publication. While measures have been taken to reduce the operating budget, an influx of approximately $5,000,000 of equity capital is required to not only effect a financial reorganization, but also to provide sufficient working capital going forward. In addition, the liquidation of existing loans and accounts payable will require the conversion of debt to equity, forgiveness of debt and prorated cash settlements. In the interim, the magazine will not be published. If the Company is able to secure such financing by April 30, 2002, management believes that the publication would recommence with the September 2002 issue. Detour currently relies on outside entities for printing, single copy distribution, subscription circulation and fulfillment services. Under the new business plan, Detour will initially outsource a number of other key functions as well, including advertising sales and licensing. The Company believes that outsourcing such functions will keep operating expenses as low as possible and improve the quality of resources. F-10 30

Detour Media Group, Inc. (formerly known as Detour Magazine, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 2001 and 2000 NOTE C - GOING CONCERN MATTERS - Continued Prior to resuming publishing of its magazine, the Company intends on re-branding the Detour name and logo. In addition, the Company will attempt to rebuild the magazine's circulation, focusing distribution in selected urban centers and proactively pursuing subscriptions. The plan also calls for the hiring of a new senior management team, including the Publisher/COO position. Going forward, significant amounts of additional cash will be needed to pay the costs to implement the new business plan and to fund losses until the Company is profitable. While there is no assurance that funding will be available to execute the plan, the Company is continuing to seek financing to support its business plan and is exploring a number of alternatives in this regard. As of March 4, 2002, the Company has not raised the additional funding required to effect a financial reorganization. Management believes that, despite the financial hurdles and funding uncertainties going forward, it has developed a business plan that, if successfully funded and executed, can significantly improve operating results. The support of the Company's vendors, customers, lenders, stockholders and employees will continue to be key to the Company's future success. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain present financing, and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. NOTE D - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE During 2001, the Company sold a portion of its advertising accounts receivable to a finance company without recourse. The receivables were sold at a discount ranging from 4.00% to 11.0% on a pre-approved basis (average discount rate of 5% per month for 2001), with a "hold-back" of 12% on each invoice until payment of the receivables. Therefore, the finance company was only factoring 88% of the Company's eligible advertising receivables. The finance company provided certain credit services for the Company, such as obtaining credit reports on customers and collections. In June 2001, the Company discontinued selling its accounts receivable and there is no remaining amount due from the finance company at December 31, 2001. Finance fees for the year ended December 31, 2001 is included in interest expense on the statement of operations. Proceeds received from the sales of accounts receivable in 2001 are included in cash flows from operating activities in the statements of cash flows. F-11 31

In 1996, this note was converted to a demand note, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In 1996, this stockholder subsequently assigned this Note to JCM Capital Corp., a minority stockholder, who assigned portions of this note to other unaffiliated parties. In July 2001, the holders of these various notes agreed to convert this obligation, including all principal ($932,313) and accrued interest ($553,483) into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of approximately $.46 per share. They received 3,237,468 shares of common stock in the aggregate. These notes were secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, except for account receivable. Upon conversion of the notes, the security interest was released. Advances from stockholder represent advances made by the majority stockholder of the Company for working capital purposes. The advances are repayable in monthly principal installments of $24,000; however, the Company has not made the monthly principal payments in 2001 and 2000. The Company must use at least 25% of the net proceeds of any financing received by the Company to repay the advances. Further, all of the advances are due and payable in full at such time as the Company has received equity financing of at least $10,000,000. At December 31, 2001, $2,952,293 of principal is outstanding and classified as short-term. Accrued interest payable to the majority stockholder at December 31, 2001 totaled $1,131,873.

Detour Media Group, Inc. (formerly known as Detour Magazine, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 2001 and 2000 NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 1. Operating Leases ---------------- The Company vacated its principal place of business in Los Angeles, California at the expiration of its lease which was extended through February 28, 2002. The Company entered into a lease for approximately 150 square feet on a month-to-month basis commencing April 1, 2002 at a monthly rental of $950. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $113,646 and $119,807, respectively. 2. Cease-and-Desist Proceeding by the Securities and Exchange Commission --------------------------------------------------------------------- By notice dated March 30, 2000, the staff of the Salt Lake City District Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "the Commission") notified the Company and its Chairman that it was recommending to the SEC that an enforcement action be filed against both the Company and its Chairman relating to accuracy of certain of the Company's financial statements in 1997 and 1998. The recommended enforcement action was based on: (i) the improper presentation of certain quarterly financial information; and (ii) the failure to record in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles the proper compensation expense resulting from the issuance to consultants in 1997 of options to purchase 4,400,000 shares of common stock. According to the notice from the Commission, the SEC anticipates alleging that the Company has violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, rule 10b-5, Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and various rules promulgated thereunder. The Company believes that the issue regarding improper presentation of quarterly financial information relates to the Company's averaging of certain costs and expenses in certain quarterly periods in 1997 and 1998 instead of calculating these costs and expenses precisely. To comply with the staff's requirement, the Company would be required to determine the actual costs and expenses for the affected quarters. The second issue related to whether the Company recorded the proper amount of compensation expense in connection with the issuance of the options to the consultants. The Company recorded an expense of $21,991, based on the exercise price of the options of $.005 per share. The Company understands that the staff believes that the expense should be the fair market value of the options at the time the options were issued. Under generally accepted accounting principles, any such additional compensation expense in connection with the options would result in a corresponding increase in the paid-in capital of the Company. Thus, while the expense would increase the Company's net loss for 1997, the paid-in capital would be similarly increased and there would be no change to the Company's total deficit in stockholders' equity as of the end of 1997.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 2001 and 2000 NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - Continued In 2000, the Company advised the staff that it wished to cooperate fully and reach an agreement on an appropriate remedy to resolve this matter. The Company had determined to restate its financial statements to address the concerns raised by the staff. On November 22, 2000, the Commission issued a cease-and-desist proceeding pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Commission ordered the Company to amend its filings with the Commission to properly reflect its financial condition and operating results, and as required by Section 13(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, make and keep books, record and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company. The Commission further ordered the Company to devise and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that, among other things, transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has amended its filings with the Commission and believes it has complied fully with the Commissions cease-and-desist proceeding. 3. Litigation ---------- The Company is a defendant in several other lawsuits in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, the liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. NOTE I - EQUITY In December 1999, the Company and its majority stockholder entered into an agreement with two financial advisors to assist the Company in obtaining equity and debt financing and to provide other consulting services, including identifying potential acquisitions and strategic partners, analyzing potential acquisitions and other business arrangements, assisting in strategic planning and business development, market support and assisting in developing e-business plans. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued to each advisor warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.10 a share. The vesting of such warrants was subject to certain conditions during a service period that extended through September 30, 2000. Management believed the agreement did not contain a performance commitment because the financial advisors had no disincentive for nonperformance other than the loss of the cash, options and warrants attributable to the work performed. Accordingly, the options and warrants issued under this agreement were measured at the fair value on the dates the F-16 36

The agreement was amended in fiscal 2000 resulting in the vesting of the remaining warrants to purchase an additional 1,184,000 shares of the company's common stock. The vesting of the remaining warrants to purchase 1,184,000 resulted in a noncash charge of $663,040 included in general and administrative expense in fiscal 2000. The agreement also provided the financial advisors an option to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $.10. The options were exercisable if and only if the Company received at least $5,000,000 in financing arranged by the financial advisors. The agreement also provided for a cash financing fee of 10% of the funds raised. In addition, the financial advisors may have been entitled to cash consulting fees up to $10,000 per month, depending on the amount of funds raised on behalf of the Company. In September 2000, the Company terminated this agreement with the two financial advisors. In addition to the 800,000 of stock warrants issued to each advisor, the Company issued an additional 300,000 shares of its restricted common stock to each advisor in order to terminate the agreement.

In 1996, this note was converted to a demand note, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In 1996, this stockholder subsequently assigned this Note to JCM Capital Corp., a minority stockholder, who, upon information and belief, has assigned portions of this note to other unaffiliated parties. In July 2001, the holders of these various notes agreed to convert this obligation, including all principal and accrued interest, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of approximately $.46 per share. They received 3,237,468 shares of our common stock in the aggregate. These notes were secured by substantially all of our assets, except for accounts receivable. Upon conversion of the notes, the security interest was released. Advances from stockholder represent advances made by our majority stockholder for working capital purposes. At September 30, 2000, the advances bore interest at 8% per annum and were payable on demand. In March 2000, our majority stockholder agreed to reduce the annual interest rate to 8% from 12%, effective January 1, 2000, and modify the repayment terms. Under the new repayment terms, the advances are repayable in monthly principal installments of $24,000 commencing January 1, 2001. We did not make the principal payments in 2001 and 2000. However, we must use at least 25% of the net proceeds of any financing received by us to repay the advances. Further, all of the advances are due and payable in full at such time as we have received equity financing of at least $10 million. 44
