ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

MARKET INFORMATION

At the Company's year end, July 31, 1998, there was no market for the Company's common stock. Subsequent to year end, the common stock has been traded on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTC:BB) under the symbol GLMC since August 24, 1998. As of July 31, 1998, there were 19,890,831 shares of common stock outstanding, held by approximately 55 holders of record.

DIVIDENDS

The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock. The Company currently intends to retain all future earnings to finance future growth and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

During the past year, prior to becoming a reporting company, the Registrant sold securities which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as set forth below. At that time, the Registrant was not a reporting company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 nor was it a development stage company with no business plan. Thus it was eligible to rely upon Rule 504. Moreover, Rule 504 was available to the registrant in that the Company sold less than $1,000,000.00 worth of securities in the previous 12 month period and the purchasers were unaffiliated investors. Further, Rule 504 does not require the presentation of specified information prior to the sale of the securities offered in reliance upon this rule. Nevertheless, these were entirely private transactions pursuant to which all material information as specified in Rule 502(b)(2) was made available to the purchaser(s). Thus the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 4(2) and Rule 3(b) were available to the issuer.

The total amount of securities sold in the past year were 442,534 sold at $0.50 each for a total of $221,267. There have been no sale of securities since the company went public on August 24, 1998.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Global Media is a publicly traded company on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTC:BB). The Company's trading symbol is GLMC. The Company will specialize in the use of technology and the integration of sophisticated multi-media communications. Thus, enabling the Company to be on the leading edge of marketing and distribution of entertainment products over the Internet. The Company is developing a web site to sell music CDs, video cassettes, DVDs, books, magazine subscriptions and other entertainment products via a series of Internet web sites. The Company also plans to be a major participant in the newest method of music and video distribution via direct Internet download.

Global Media will strive to offer an online shopping experience that involves visual, audio and literary entertainment, discovery and fulfilment for its customers. The Company plans to operate an entertaining, sophisticated and comprehensive online entertainment product distribution network. The main business strategy will focus on the acquisition of market share. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in its market are brand recognition, selection, personalized services, convenience, price, accessibility, customer service, quality of search tools, quality of editorial and other site content, and reliability and speed of fulfilment. Other competitive elements include the breadth of entertainment content offered, the utility of the site as an entertainment destination versus a simple retail outlet, personalization of the web page to suit each customer's needs and licensing the Company's back end to other web sites who will sell the Company's product.

In order to gain increased market share, Global Media will license use of its back end database and secure transaction processing, ordering and fulfilment systems to third party Internet marketers. This will allow companies without sufficient development expertise or funding to use an existing system to target various niche markets. For an up front charge and ongoing revenue sharing, companies will be able to license unique front end web sites running off Global Media's back end.

Global Media has agreements with Muze Inc., Baker & Taylor and Liquid Audio. Muze Inc. is the leading independent source of digital information about music, books and movies, to include Muze's music and home video content and will be the database source for the web site. Baker & Taylor will manage all packaging, shipping and returns of CDs, videos and DVDs sold through Global Media's web site. Operating worldwide, Baker & Taylor distributes a wide range of products, including books, video, audio, software, and related services to retail stores and libraries. The company has 11 inventory distribution centers across the United Sates. Liquid Audio's technology allows consumers to preview and purchase CD-quality music over the Internet, while ensuring copyright protection and tracking royalties.

As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to establish strategic alliances with global on-line, music and media companies to attract additional users to, and increase brand awareness of, the Company's websites. These include network television operators, cable and satellite operators as well as radio networks. These types of partnerships not only bring credibility and financial backing but have access to leverage existing viewers to a sales web site. The Company is also seeking partnerships with large Internet portals, search engines and chat.

Global Media has assembled a strong management team with relevant experience and a stake in the Company's success.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET REVENUES

Revenues of $ 326,279, ( 1997 - $ Nil) were generated by the call center from third parties contracts to disseminate information via the telephone, fax and internet. Using the Company's integrated telephony network and contact management database, the call center was contracted by various public companies to distribute information to their selected groups of shareholders and brokers and to handle all incoming calls.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

The call center was developed and operational in 1998. One time costs including consultants and hiring and training of staff were incurred in order to begin operations. Ongoing costs including annual rent of a 6,000 square foot facility, $ 49,000; staffing, $ 128,000; telephone $ 30,000; and other overhead costs added to 1998 expenses. Also one time costs associated with the process of going public were incurred in excess of $ 100,000, (1997 - $ 49,386) during the year.

The costs of establishing the call center, a significant bad debt and the costs of completing the going public process contributed to an increase in general & administrative expenses to $ 522,585, ( 1997 72,214).

Advertising expense of $ 6,691, ( 1997 - $ Nil) consists of the cost of press releases. Amortization increased to $ 29,973, ( 1997 $ Nil) as a result of the purchase of computer equipment, development of the call center, leasehold improvements and office furniture for the new location in Nanaimo, B.C., Canada. A bad debts expense of $ 76,942, ( 1997 - $Nil) was caused mainly by a $ 70,000 receivable from a call center customer being deemed uncollectable by management. A bad debt of this magnitude is not expected in the future. Professional fees increased to $ 147,500, ( 1997 - $ 49,386), due to legal and accounting costs associated with going public and consulting fees to train call center staff. Office expenses increased to $ 98,379, ( 1997 - $ 21,842) mainly as a result of rent and telephone costs associated with the new call center facility. Travel expenses of $ 21,174, ( 1997 - $ Nil) were a result of management travel to the call center location during development and travel associated with developing strategic alliances for the e-commerce site. Wages and benefits increased to $ 128,406, ( 1997- 1,461) since the call center began operation in Fiscal 1998. All wage expenses related to personnel employed by the call center including secretarial and managerial staff, approximately 15 people.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed it operations and capital expenditures primarily from equity financing, loans from shareholders and affiliates and revenue generated from the call center. As at July 31, 1998, the Company had a cash balance of $ 14,996, (1997 - $ 121,890). The Company expects negative cash flow from operations to continue for its foreseeable future, as it continues to develop and market its operations. Inflation has not had any material effect on the Company's operations.

Net cash utilized by operating activities for the year ended July 31, 1998 was $157,280, (1997 - $68,378). This included a net loss of $472,674, (1997 - $ 108,999), which was offset by items not requiring an outflow of funds including amortization of $38,658, (1997 - $ 3,957 ) and services settled through an issuance of shares for $50,449, (1997 - Nil ).

Cash provided by changes in operating working capital resulted from a decrease in accounts receivable of $58,632 , (1997 - $ 47,216), and a decrease in inventory of $13,477, (1997 - $20,233), (both due to the winding down of the operations of Westcoast Wireless Cable); an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $106,585, (1997 - $ 11,909); an increase in taxes payable $21,230, (1997 - $ 5,034 ) and increases in advances from affiliated companies of $52,997, (loans to affiliates in 1997 - $ 80,309 ). Cash used by changes in operating working capital resulted from an increase of prepaid expenses of $7,312, (decrease in 1997 - $599 ), relating to prepaid rent; increase in income taxes recoverable of $2,439, (1997 - $ Nil ), due to Canadian tax recovery; and a partial repayment of shareholder loan of $4,821, (advance by shareholder in 1997 - $ 79,266).

Purchases of capital assets totaling $189,706, (1997 - $ 13,209), consisting primarily of hardware and software purchased for the Nanaimo call center and the cost of designing and installing the related infrastructure. Purchases included office equipment of $9,065; leasehold improvements of $6,565; computer equipment of $61,293; software of $21,208 and call center infrastructure of $91,575.

Net cash provided by financing was $221,267, (1997 - $ 283,700). This financing was provided by the sale of share subscriptions at $0.50 per share.

The Company expects to meet its short term capital and operational requirements through shareholder and other secured loans expected to total $500,000. The Company expects to meet it long term cash and operational requirements through an equity financing.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY "WESTCOAST WIRELESS CABLE"

Following a decision by the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal in November, 1997, prohibiting the sale of US based satellite and programming services in Canada, the management of Westcoast Wireless decided to withdraw from the home satellite business. The home satellite business includes all operations of Westcoast Wireless.


The Subsidiary company has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, and accordingly, its operations have been segregated in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. A breakdown of revenue and expenses follow:

                                         1998             1997

Total Revenue                        $   591,938      $ 1,637,732

Cost of sales                        $   418,167      $   755,446
Commission paid                      $   133,934      $   621,597

Gross Margin                         $    39,837      $   260,689

General & Administrative expenses    $   324,887      $   297,474

Loss before provision
  for income taxes                   $   285,050      $    36,785
Income tax recovery                  $     8,682
Loss for the year                    $   276,368

Revenue decreased substantially as a result of a decline in retail prices of over 50% in the first half of the year combined with the company being prohibited from selling US based products in Canada.

Cost of sales decreased as a result of two main factors. The average selling price on US based systems decreased by over 50% without corresponding decreases in the cost of the systems. Also, the higher cost of Canadian systems and competition in the Canadian market produced gross margins of only $ 50.00 per system. Commission decreased due to fewer satellite sales in the year and lower commission rates as a result of shrinking margins.

General & administrative increased during the year. A considerable amount of time and manpower, including hiring and training additional sales staff were devoted to increasing the sales volume for the year. Unfortunately, the Court ruling prohibiting the sale of US based systems in Canada negated this sales effort. The satellite division had to incur additional costs in retraining the existing sales staff for the Canadian system. Consequentially, wages and benefit expense in the division increased to $150,931, ( 1997 - $ 42,673). These additional costs contributed to an overall loss of $ 276,368, ( 1997 loss $ 36,785).

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. In other words, date- sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among others, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities.

The Company does not believe that it has material exposure to the Year 2000 issue with respect to its own information systems since its existing systems correctly define the Year 2000. The Company intends to conduct an analysis in 1998 to determine the extent to which its major suppliers' systems (insofar as they relate to the Company's business) are subject to the Year 2000 issue. The Company is currently unable to predict the extent to which the Year 2000 issue will affect its suppliers, or the extent to which it would be vulnerable to its suppliers' failure to remediate any Year 2000 issues on a timely basis. The failure of a major supplier subject to the Year 2000 issue to convert its systems on a timely basis or a conversion that is incompatible with the Company's systems could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, most of the purchases from the Company will be made with credit cards, and the Company's operations may be materially adversely affected to the extent its customers are unable to use their credit cards due to Year 2000 issues that are not rectified by their credit card providers. One further, and more extreme, case may the failure of the communication mode, (telephone, cable or satellite), over the internet which could significantly impact the Company's ability to generate sales.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors of
GLOBAL MEDIA CORP.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Media Corp. as at July 31, 1998 and 1997 and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended. 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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 consolidated financial position of the company as at July 31, 1998 and 1997 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

GLOBAL MEDIA CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 1998 (in US dollars)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Global Media Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 8, 1997 in the State of Nevada and is engaged in providing internet-integrated call center services from its location in Nanaimo, Canada. Until the 4th quarter of 1998, the Company was also engaged in the marketing of direct to home satellite hardware and programming services to both commercial and private individuals primarily in Western Canada [note 3]. The Company commenced its internet- integrated call center in September, 1997. The Company is also in the process of developing an electronic commerce web site for the distribution and eventual downloading of music and video over the internet.

On May 20, 1997 the Company issued 8,000,000 common shares and paid $100,000 in cash for all of the outstanding shares of Westcoast Wireless Cable Ltd. ("Westcoast Wireless"), a company which markets direct to home satellite hardware and programming services.

Westcoast Wireless contracted for the sales of certain satellite hardware and programming services, therefore the majority of the purchases were sourced from a single supplier.

These financial statements reflect the continuity of interests of the former shareholder of Westcoast Wireless, due to the continuation of common control. The consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the period from August 1, 1996 to May 20, 1997 (included in the results for the year ended July 31, 1997) represent the results of operations and cash flows of Westcoast Wireless during those periods.

References to "the Company" in these financial statements include Westcoast Wireless (for events occurring prior to May 20, 1997).

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 1998 (in US dollars)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont'd.)

The Company has not yet achieved a profitable level of operations. The Company's continued operation is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations from its electronic commerce web site, scheduled to commence operations in March 1999, and upon obtaining additional financing and the continued support of the Company's shareholders [note 10], to fund both current operations, and web site construction.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost, using the first in, first out method, and net realizable value.

Capital assets and amortization

Capital assets are recorded at cost. Amortization has been calculated using the following methods and rates, except in the year of acquisition when one half of the rate is used.

Call center infrastructure                 3 year straight line
Office furniture and equipment             20% declining balance
Software                                   20% declining balance
Computer equipment                         30% declining balance
Leasehold improvements                     5 year straight line

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.)

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues from the call center are recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the contract.

Revenues are recorded at the time of installation for hardware sales, and at contract inception for sales of programming.

ADVERTISING AND MARKETING COSTS

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary, Westcoast Wireless, are translated into US dollars at fiscal period end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company denominated in a foreign currency are translated at period end exchange rates. Other balances are recorded at rates in effect on the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses arising are reflected in net income for the period.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments approximate fair values, except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.)

LOSS PER SHARE

The Company has adopted SFAS128, 'Earnings per share' in the current year on a retroactive basis. There is no impact on previously reported loss per share amounts.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS130, 'Reporting comprehensive income', SFAS131, 'Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information', SFAS132 'Employers' Disclosures about pensions and other postretirement benefits' and SFAS133 'Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities'. SFAS130, SFAS131 and SFAS132 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS133 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.

SFAS130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.

SFAS131, SFAS132 and SFAS133 currently have no impact on the Company.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATION

In November 1997, a decision was made by the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal of, ruling that sale of US satellite and programming services in Canada was not permitted. Following a period of trading in Canadian satellite and programming services the management of Westcoast Wireless decided to withdraw completely from the home satellite business in late fiscal 1998. The home satellite business includes all operations of Westcoast Wireless.

This subsidiary company has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, and accordingly, its operations have been segregated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Revenues of the discontinued company for the year ended July 31, 1998 were $591,938 [1997 - $1,617,528]. At July 31, 1998, net current liabilities of the discontinued operation were $130,076 [1997 - $31,578] consisting principally of accounts payable and balances due to shareholder. Net non- current assets at July 31, 1998 were $15,352 [1997 - $8,504].

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

All related party balances as disclosed in the balance sheet are non-interest bearing and without specific terms of repayment.

The affiliated companies are related to Global Media Corp. by virtue of control by officers of the Company. The fair values of the balances are not determinable since they have no fixed repayment terms.

The Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended July 31, 1998 includes the following related party transactions:
- wages and benefits expense of $81,747 [1997 - $45,565], to a shareholder and spouse.
- income from recharge of wages of $nil [1997 - $72,610], to a company related by virtue of control by an officer of the Company.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont'd.)

During the year ended July 31, 1998 the following capital asset additions were purchased from related parties:

- $32,909 [1997 - $nil] for call center development from shareholders of the Company.
- $2,454 [1997 - $nil] for call center development from an officer of the Company.
- $5,709 [1997 - $nil] for office equipment, $4,171 [1997 - $nil] for leasehold improvements and $12,170 [1997 - $nil] for call center development from a company controlled by an officer of the Company.

5. INCOME TAXES

At July 31, 1998, the Company had a domestic net operating loss of $240,407 which will begin to expire in 2011, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $250,671 which will expire in 2005. Utilization of these carryforwards depends on the recognition of future taxable income.

For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has been established for all deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization. As a result of certain stock transactions, utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to certain limitations in the event that a change in ownership has occurred, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

_____________________________________________________________________________

As at July 31, 1997, 8,000,000 shares issued in consideration for the shares in Westcoast Wireless and 288,000 of the shares issued for cash had not been issued; however, legal agreements for the issue of these shares were in place at July 31, 1997. The amounts were recorded as unissued share capital of $1 and $144,000 respectively as at July 31, 1997. All of these shares were issued in the year ended July 31, 1998.

Effective April 8, 1997 the Company adopted the 1997 Directors and Officers Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors who have sole discretion and authority to determine individuals eligible for awards under the Plan. The Plan provides for issuance of a total of 500,000 options, within a period of 10 years from the effective date. The conditions of exercise of each grant are determined individually by the Board at the time of the grant. During the current year, this plan was amended to increase the number of options from 500,000 to 1,000,000 shares.

At July 31, 1998, no options were outstanding under the Plan.

8. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company's business segment which derived revenue from the marketing of direct to home satellite hardware and programming services, has been presented as a discontinued operation in the current year [note 3].

The remaining segment of the business relates to call center services. The Global Media call center provides internet integrated call center services to US based clients from its location in Nanaimo, Canada. The Global Media call center commenced operations in September of 1997 and comprises all continuing operations of the Company.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Global Media entered into a commercial lease for office space effective October 1, 1997, and will pay a total of $52,939 per year until July 31, 2002.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On November 5, 1998, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Rolling Oaks Enterprises, LLC allowing the Company to draw on a line of credit of up to $500,000, repayable within one year. The interest rate on the credit facility is 24% per annum, with an origination fee of 1% payable on the receipt of funds.

The loan is collateralized by a first charge on all available fixed assets of the Company, and 1,000,000 of common shares in the Company at a price of $1 per share currently in issue.

Since July 31, 1998, two principal shareholders of the Company have advanced funds of $218,000 to the Company. The shareholder loans at July 31, 1998, and advanced since the balance sheet date, have no fixed terms of repayment and therefore are classified as current liabilities in the balance sheet. However, the shareholders have indicated their intent to continue to support the operations of the Company, and to not request repayment of the loans until a profitable level of operations have been achieved.

In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
