                      BRILLIANT DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 2005

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION, RISKS AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

         The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly,  they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally  accepted  accounting
principles  in  the  United  States  for  complete  financial  statements.   The
accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments that, in the opinion of management,  are considered  necessary for a
fair  presentation of the financial  position,  results of operations,  and cash
flows for the periods presented.  The results of operations for such periods are
not necessarily  indicative of the results  expected for the full fiscal year or
for any future period. The accompanying  financial  statements should be read in
conjunction  with the audited  consolidated  financial  statements  of Brilliant
Digital  Entertainment,  Inc.  and  consolidated  subsidiaries  (the  "Company")
included in the  Company's  Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended  December  31,
2004

         The  discussion and analysis of the Company's  financial  condition and
results of  operations  are based upon its  consolidated  financial  statements,
which have been  prepared in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States.  The  preparation of these  financial  statements
requires the Company to make  estimates and  judgments  that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent  assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates
its  estimates,  including  those  related to  reserves  for bad debts and those
related to the possible  impairment of long-lived  assets. The Company bases its
estimates on historical  experience  and on various other  assumptions  that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making  judgments  about the carrying value of assets and  liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The Company's use of
estimates,  however, is quite limited, as they have adequate time to process and
record actual results from operations.

         The  Company is subject to a number of risks  similar to those of other
companies  in a  comparable  stage  of  development  including  reliance  on key
personnel,   successful  marketing  of  its  services  in  an  emerging  market,
competition from other companies with greater technical,  financial,  management
and marketing  resources,  successful  development  of new services,  successful
integration of acquired  businesses and technology,  the enhancement of existing
services,  and the  ability  to secure  adequate  financing  to  support  future
operations.

         The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern,  which  contemplates
the  realization  of assets and the  satisfaction  of  liabilities in the normal
course of business.  The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in
the financial  statements  do not purport to represent  realizable or settlement
values. However, the Company has suffered recurring operating losses and at June


                                       7
<PAGE>


30, 2005, had negative  working capital of approximately  $4,777,000  (excluding
non-cash  prepaid expense of $828,000 related to the issuance of warrants) and a
stockholders'   deficit  of  approximately   $3,383,000.   These  factors  raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In
its report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2004, the Company's  Independent  Registered  Public Accounting Firm included an
explanatory  paragraph expressing  substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.

         The Company is seeking additional  funding.  There can be no assurance,
however,  that the Company will be able to secure additional  funding or that if
such funding is available,  whether the terms or conditions  would be acceptable
to the Company.

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of the
Company and majority  owned and  controlled  domestic and foreign  subsidiaries.
Intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

RESTRICTED CASH

         At June  30,  2005,  $75,000  of cash  was  pledged  as  collateral  on
outstanding  secured   convertible   promissory  notes  and  was  classified  as
restricted cash on the balance sheet.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Under SEC Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No. 104,  generally  the Company
recognizes  revenue when all of the following  criteria are met: (1)  persuasive
evidence of an  arrangement  exists,  (2) delivery has occurred or services have
been rendered, (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
(4) collectibility is reasonably  assured.  In the case of each of the Company's
products  and service  lines,  the Company  establishes  a contract or insertion
order  with its  customers  with  specific  requirements  for a fixed  price,  a
delivery schedule,  and terms for payment.  The Company regularly  evaluates the
collectibility  of its  receivables  based on a combination  of factors.  When a
customer's  account becomes past due, it initiates dialogue with the customer to
determine the cause. If the Company  determines that the customer will be unable
to meet its financial obligations,  due to a bankruptcy filing, deterioration in
the customer's  operating results or financial position or other material events
impacting its business,  the Company records a specific  reserve for bad debt to
reduce the  related  receivable  to the  amount it expects to recover  given all
information presently available.  If circumstances related to specific customers
change,  the  Company's  estimate of the  recoverability  of  receivables  could
materially  change.  At June 30, 2005,  the Company had a reserve of $127,000 to
cover several customers from whom collectibility is uncertain.

         The Company's revenues are derived principally from marketing services,
licensing and other services, and digital content revenue.


                                       8
<PAGE>


         Marketing   services   revenues   are  derived  from  paid  search  and
advertising  agreements.  Under the terms of the Company's  agreement with Focus
Interactive,  Inc. (formerly known as The Excite Network, Inc.), a subsidiary of
Ask  Jeeves,  Inc.,  the  Company  is  paid  a  non-refundable  bounty  for  the
installation of a My Search toolbar on an English speaking user's computer,  and
the  Company  is paid a  percentage  of the gross  profit  earned as a result of
clicks on paid  search  results  by any end users of the  toolbar.  The  Company
recognizes revenue as installations are recorded,  and as the gross profit share
of paid searches is reported. The Company derives advertising revenue by selling
advertising  inventory on behalf of Sharman  Networks  Limited in exchange for a
percentage of revenue therefrom. Sharman's clients pay a fee based on a cost per
thousand impressions (CPM) or specified conversions delivered (CPA). The Company
recognizes revenue when the conversions are made or impressions are delivered.

         Licensing   and  other   services   revenues   are  derived   from  the
sub-licensing of the TruNames patent, business development services, and payment
processing  services.  Under  the  terms  of  the  Company's  patent  sublicense
agreement  with Sharman  Networks  Limited,  the Company  recognizes  sublicense
payments as revenue on a monthly basis as earned.  The Company  negotiates  with
third  parties  that desire to enter into a business  transaction  with  Sharman
relating  to the  KMD  application.  The  commission  paid to the  Company  is a
percentage of the gross revenue received by Sharman for each transaction entered
into  based  solely  on  the  Company's  efforts.  Revenue  is  recognized  from
individual  transactions based on the specific terms of the applicable contract,
which may involve (i) a revenue share deal,  (ii) a one-time fee paid at signing
or at some  other  date,  or  (iii) a  combination  of these  two  arrangements.
Non-refundable  advance fees are  amortized  over the life of the contract or as
earned. Revenue share fees are recognized as earned. The Company charges fees to
Sharman  Networks as a percentage of gross sales for the use of Altnet's payment
processing  gateway on the sale of certain  software  applications.  The Company
recognizes this as revenue when the end user pays for the software application.

         Digital  content  revenues  are  derived  from the Altnet  peer-to-peer
business by processing digital media content (music, PC games, software, movies)
for placement on Altnet's peer-to-peer network, and by promoting,  distributing,
and  selling  the  content to end users of the  network.  The Company may charge
clients a processing fee to prepare content for distribution on the network. The
amount of this fee varies  based on the number of files,  the size of the files,
digital encoding costs, and the preparation of collateral  marketing  materials,
such as artwork.  These fees are recognized as the services are  performed.  The
Company charges clients for content promotions on a cost per specified number of
downloaded  files.  A  customer  typically  pre-purchases  an  agreed  number of
downloaded files. The amounts charged vary based on volume and the complexity of
the  campaign.  These fees are  recognized as the download  delivery  levels are
achieved.  The Company  charges clients for content sales based on (a) a revenue
sharing basis where the Company  receives an agreed upon percentage of the sales
price for each transaction, or (b) a combination of revenue share and a cost per
specified  number  of  downloaded  files  The  revenue  from  content  sales  is
recognized when the end user pays for the content and, where relevant,  the file
is downloaded by the end user.

LICENSE RIGHTS

         In October 2002, the Company  entered into a patent  license  agreement
with  Kinetech,  Inc.,  pursuant to which the Company  acquired a license to the
TruNames patent,  and in consideration  for such license,  the Company issued to
Kinetech a warrant to  purchase  up to  5,000,000  shares of common  stock at an
exercise price of $0.001 per share. In July 2003, the Company modified the terms
of the  warrants  with  Kinetech,  to  accelerate  vesting.  As a result  of the
accelerated  vesting and the fact that the Company now  recognizes  revenue on a
monthly basis from  sub-licensing  the TruNames patent,  the Company  determined
that the warrants granted to Kinetech as consideration for the patent rights had
a determinable value. The fair value of the warrants was re-examined at the date
of  modification  and was  based on a  Black-Scholes  model  with the  following
weighted average  assumptions for 2003:  interest rates of 4.5%;  dividend yield
rates of 0; volatility  factors of expected market price of the Company's common
stock of 50%; and the expected  life of the warrants,  or 6 years.  The value of
these  warrants was  determined to be $2,096,000  and will be amortized over the
remaining useful life of the patent license  agreement,  or 3 years.  During the
first six months of 2005,  the Company  has  recorded  $350,000 of  amortization
expense  related to the patent,  leaving an  unamortized  balance of $699,000 at
June 30, 2005, which is reflected on the balance sheet as License Rights.

         The Company assesses the  recoverability  of long-lived assets whenever
events or changes in business  circumstances indicate that the carrying value of
an asset may not be recoverable.  Annual estimated  amortization expense for the
remaining long-lived asset for each of the five succeeding years is as follows:

                                               Amortization
                       Year                      Expense
                   ------------                ------------

                   2005                             349,000
                   2006                             350,000
                                               ------------
                   Total                       $    699,000
                                               ============

CONCENTRATION OF REVENUE RISK

         For  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2005,  the  Company  generated
approximately  100% of its total  revenue  either  directly from Sharman or from
other parties based on activities  dependent upon the  availability of the Kazaa
Media Desktop to computer users.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2005, Sharman  contributed 29% of the
Company's revenue, from content sales, patent licensing, advertising and payment
processing.  Focus  Interactive,  Inc.  contributed 71% of the Company's revenue
from bounties earned on activated  installations  of the My Search toolbar,  and
profit sharing on paid searches via the My Search toolbar.

         The Company  maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in
one bank in the United States and with one bank in  Australia.  The bank account
maintained in the United States is guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  ("FDIC") up to $100,000.  The banking  system in Australia does not
provide the same guarantees. At June 30, 2005 the


                                       10
<PAGE>


Company had  approximately  $ 1,922,000 at the United States bank,  which was in
excess of the FDIC insurance limit and  approximately  $54,000 in the Australian
bank, which was not guaranteed.

3.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         In May 2003,  Altnet  entered  into a license  to use  rights to Joltid
Ltd.'s Content Distribution Environment peer-to-peer computer program,  commonly
referred to as  PeerEnabler.  In exchange for the license,  Altnet agreed to pay
Joltid a guaranteed  monthly fee of $30,000  based on a  percentage  of revenues
earned  from the  exploitation  of the  licensed  rights,  subject  to a maximum
aggregate  amount.  The  Company  has  reflected  the  current  portion  of  the
guaranteed payment of $360,000 as a current liability.  The company assesses the
recoverability  of  long-lived  assets  whenever  events or changes in  business
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  may  not  be
recoverable.  During the fourth quarter of 2003, in connection with this review,
the Company  obtained an independent  valuation to assist them in evaluating the
Company's  intangible  assets for  impairment  in  accordance  with FAS 144.  An
impairment loss is recognized when the sum of the expected  undiscounted  future
net cash flows over the remaining  useful life, is less than the carrying amount
of the asset.  Prior to the impairment  evaluation the Company  capitalized  and
reflected on its balance sheet an asset;  Purchased  Technology  associated with
our purchase of additional  shares of our Altnet  subsidiary  from Joltid.  As a
result of the independent  evaluation of these assets,  the Company  recorded an
impairment  charge of $1,484,000  during the fourth  quarter of 2003. We now own
100% of the  outstanding  capital stock of Altnet having  acquired the remaining
24.5% of Altnet from  Joltid,  Ltd. on May 17, 2005 in exchange for the issuance
to Joltid  of  7,000,000  shares of  Brilliant's  common  stock.  At the time we
acquired the shares,  we determined  that the asset was impaired and we recorded
an impairment charge for the full value of the purchase,  totaling $350,000. The
Company paid Joltid  $120,000 for services  provided during the six months ended
June 30, 2005, and had an outstanding trade payable to them of $19,176.

         The Company  entered into a Patent  Sublicense  Agreement with Sharman,
the distributor of the Kazaa Media Desktop file sharing software application (or
KMD). Pursuant to the Patent Sublicense Agreement, the Company granted Sharman a
limited,  non-exclusive  sublicense  to the  Company's  rights  to the  TruNames
patent, which the Company licenses from Kinetech Inc. The TruNames patent covers
a method of  identifying  digital files based on the actual data contents of the
file, rather than by its name, origin,  location,  address, or other information
that can easily be changed.  As  consideration  for the sublicense,  the Company
will receive from Sharman a monthly license fee. Additionally, in June 2003, the
Company and Altnet entered into a Joint  Enterprise  Agreement with Sharman,  to
act  as  its  exclusive  representative  for  the  sale,  license  and/or  other
commercial  exploitation  of index  search  results  displayed  on or  otherwise
accessed  using the KMD in response to end user search  requests.  The agreement
also granted the Company a  non-exclusive  right to enter into  agreements  with
third parties to provide for the  establishment  of one or more browse  channels
within the KMD that enable  users to find and  download  rights-managed  content
from the relevant  browse channel in a single click process,  and to provide for
all the terms and conditions governing the management,  maintenance,  operation,
and other elements of each browse  channel.  The Company shall share in revenues
derived  from the browse  channels.  As of June 30,  2005,  the  Company  has an
outstanding accounts receivable


                                       11
<PAGE>


balance from Sharman of $495,000,  which is  classified  on the balance sheet as
Accounts Receivable Related Party.

         As of June 30, 2005, the Company has an outstanding balance to Europlay
Capital  Advisors,  LLC of $730,000  which is classified on the balance sheet as
Accrued Expenses Related Parties.

4.       SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

         At June 30, 2005,  the Company was indebted to its secured debt holders
in the amount of $3,849,000,  which indebtedness is due and payable on September
26, 2005. The principal and accrued  interest is convertible by the holders into
the  Company's  common  stock  at a price  of $0.07  per  share,  for a total of
55,123,107  shares of common stock at June 30,  2005.  In  connection  with this
financing,  the note holders received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
73,787,613  shares of  common  stock at a  current  exercise  price of $0.07 per
share.

         In  connection  with the  extension of the maturity  date of our senior
secured  notes,  the Company  agreed to make the following  payments to the note
holders in repayment of the  indebtedness:  (i) $50,000 per month, plus (ii) 50%
of any quarterly  EBITDA in excess of $600,000,  plus (iii) 50% of any increased
revenue  received  from  existing  sources  of  revenue  or from new  sources of
revenue.

         On April 28,  2005,  the Company  amended its  Strategic  Alliance  and
Distribution  Agreement,  dated April 14,  2003,  with Focus  Interactive,  Inc.
(formerly known as The Excite Network,  Inc.), a subsidiary of Ask Jeeves, Inc.,
to modify the royalty and other economic terms of the Agreement, provide for the
payment by Focus of an additional  advance  against  future  royalties and other
payments,  and extend the term of the  agreement  for an  additional  year.  The
agreement with Focus now expires on July 26, 2006, unless terminated  earlier in
accordance with its terms.  Under the terms of the amendments,  we have recorded
only our portion of the advance payment less  commission  received from Focus as
deferred  revenue.  Under the terms of our Strategic  Alliance and  Distribution
Agreement, dated April 14, 2003, as amended in April 2005, we have received from
Focus Interactive,  Inc. $1,360,000,  which is our portion of an advance against
future  payments  less  commissions.  This amount has been  recorded as deferred
revenue in the amount of $804,000.  A contingent liability exists, on default of
the  Agreement,  to the  extent  that we are  required  to pay back to Focus the
amount of any unearned advance  (recorded as deferred  revenue) that we received
and any unearned  advances that were paid to the other parties  benefiting  from
the  Agreement.  Since June,  2003,  payments to us by Focus under our agreement
have  funded  a  substantial  portion  of our  working  capital.  We  anticipate
receiving  only small cash  payments  from Focus until  approximately  December,
2005, when we expect the remaining portion of the advance to be fully earned.

         Options and warrants  representing  common  shares of  150,052,296  and
139,367,564  were  excluded  from  the  average  number  of  common  and  common
equivalent shares  outstanding in the diluted EPS calculation for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive.

6.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company  continues its obligation under two facility leases.  As of
June 30, 2005, the commitments under these leases were as follows:

                     YEAR            UNITED STATES        AUSTRALIA
                     ----            -------------        ---------
                     2005              $ 8,000            $ 3,000

         Rent  expense was $74,000 and $40,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2004 and 2005, respectively.

         In March  2004,  in the  Federal  Court of  Australia,  New South Wales
District  Registry,  Brilliant  Digital  Entertainment,  Inc., its  subsidiaries
Altnet  Inc.  and  Brilliant  Digital  Entertainment  Pty.  Limited,  and  Kevin
Bermeister and Anthony Rose, the Chief  Executive  Officer and Chief  Technology
Officer, respectively,  were joined as defendants in the suit by Universal Music
Australia Pty. Ltd. and other record labels against Sharman Networks Limited and
other  defendants,  alleging  infringement of the copyright in sound  recordings
controlled by the  plaintiffs.  The plaintiffs  allege that due to the Company's
business  dealings  with Sharman  Networks  Limited,  the Company is  integrally
involved in the operation of the Kazaa Media  Desktop and  therefore  liable for
the  alleged   copyright   infringement   occasioned  by  its   development  and
distribution.  The plaintiffs are seeking damages under the Australian Copyright
Act of  1968,  recovery  of  costs  and  interest,  and a  permanent  injunction
restraining the Company from making copies of,  communicating to the public,  or
distributing  the Plaintiff's  sound recordings  without a license.  The Company
believes  these  allegations  are without  merit,  and has  vigorously  defended
against these claims and is awaiting a decision by the Court in this case, which
is expected in the 2005 third quarter.

         In September 2004,  through its subsidiary  Altnet, the Company filed a
civil lawsuit in the United States District Court Central District of California
against  a number  of  companies  and  organizations,  including  the  Recording
Industry  Association of America,  alleging the breach of the "TruNames"  patent
which the  Company  licenses  from  Kinetech,  Inc.  In that  filing the Company
alleges  that  some  of  the  defendants  infringe  on  the  patent  to  "spoof"
peer-to-peer  users with bogus or  corrupted  media  files,  which  inhibits the
growth of  peer-to-peer  for legitimate file sharing and thereby has injured the
Company's business.

7.       STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

         The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan"), which became
effective on September 13, 1996. Each director,  officer, employee or consultant
of the Company or any of its


                                       13
<PAGE>


subsidiaries is eligible to be considered for the grant of awards under the 1996
Plan. The maximum  number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued  pursuant
to  awards  granted  under  the 1996  Plan is  35,000,000,  subject  to  certain
adjustments to prevent dilution. Any shares of Common Stock subject to an award,
which for any reason expires or terminates  unexercised  are again available for
issuance  under the 1996 Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which  options  or rights  may be granted  under the 1996 Plan to any
executive or other employee  during any fiscal year is one-half of the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the amended 1996 Plan Although any award that
was duly granted may  thereafter be exercised or settled in accordance  with its
terms,  no shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to any award made after
September  13,  2006.  Options  granted  generally  have a term of 10 years  and
usually vest over 4 years at the rate of 25% per year beginning on the first day
in the year subsequent to the year of the grant.

         The Company  accounts  for  employee  stock  options or similar  equity
instruments  in  accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS
No. 123 defines a  fair-value-based  method of  accounting  for  employee  stock
options or similar equity instruments. This statement gives entities a choice to
recognize related  compensation  expense by adopting the fair-value method or to
measure   compensation   using  the  intrinsic  value  method  under  Accounting
Principles  Board  (APB)  Opinion  No. 25, the  former  standard.  If the former
standard  for  measurement  is  elected,  SFAS  No.  123  requires  supplemental
disclosure to show the effect of using the new measurement criteria. The Company
uses the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25.

         These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures
since the  estimated  fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the
options' vesting periods.  The pro forma effect on net loss for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is not  representative  of the pro forma  effect on
net loss in future periods  because it reflects  expense for only  three-months'
vesting.   Pro  forma   information  in  future  years  will  also  reflect  the
amortization of any stock options granted in succeeding years. The Company's pro
forma information is as follows:

                                                          SIX MONTHS ENDED
                                                               JUNE 30,
                                                     ---------------------------
                                                         2005          2004
                                                     -----------    -----------

Net loss, as reported ............................   $(2,138,000)   $(2,470,000)
Employee compensation expense ....................   $   (19,000)   $   (82,500)
Net loss, pro forma ..............................   $(2,157,000)   $(2,552,500)
Basic and diluted loss per share, as reported ....   $     (0.05)   $     (0.06)
Basic and diluted loss per share, pro forma ......   $     (0.05)   $     (0.06)

         The fair value of the options as examined at the date of grant is based
on a  Black-Scholes  model with the following  weighted-average  assumptions for
2005 and 2004, respectively: interest rates of 4.5% and 5.5%; dividend yields of
0% for both  years;  volatility  factors  of the  expected  market  price of the
Company's common stock of 50.0% and 50.0%; and expected life


                                       14
<PAGE>


of the  options  of 3 years for both  years.  These  assumptions  resulted  in a
weighted average fair value of $0.06 per share for stock options granted in 2004
and 2005.

         The  Black-Scholes  model was developed for use in estimating  the fair
value of traded  options.  The  Company's  employee  stock options have not been
traded. In addition,  the assumptions used in option valuation models are highly
subjective,  particularly  the expected stock price volatility of the underlying
stock.  Because  changes in these  subjective  input  assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate,  in management's opinion, the existing models do
not provide a reliable  single  measure of the fair value of its employee  stock
options.

8.       GUARANTEES

         In November  2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45  "Guarantor's  Accounting
and Disclosure  Requirements for Guarantees,  including  Indirect  Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others - an  interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107
and rescission of FIN 34."

         Under its bylaws,  the Company has agreed to  indemnify  its  officers,
directors and employees for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of
the  officer,  director,  or  employee  serving in such  capacity.  The  maximum
potential  amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under
these  indemnification  agreements  is  unlimited.  However,  the  Company has a
directors and officer liability insurance policy that mitigates its exposure and
enables  it to  recover a portion of any  future  amounts  paid,  subject to the
applicable  terms of the policy.  As a result of its insurance  policy coverage,
the  Company  believes  the  estimated  fair  value  of  these   indemnification
agreements is minimal and has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of
June 30, 2005.

         The Company occasionally enters into  indemnification  provisions under
(i) its  agreements  with other  companies in its  ordinary  course of business,
typically with business partners,  contractors,  customers,  and landlords,  and
(ii) its agreements with investors. Under these provisions the Company generally
indemnifies  and holds  harmless the  indemnified  party for losses  suffered or
incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company's activities or, in
some  cases,  as a  result  of the  indemnified  party's  activities  under  the
agreement.  These  indemnification  provisions  often  include  indemnifications
relating  to  representations  made by the Company  with regard to  intellectual
property rights. These indemnification  provisions generally survive termination
of the underlying agreement.  In addition, in some cases, the Company has agreed
to reimburse  employees for certain expenses and to provide salary  continuation
during  short-term  disability.  The maximum potential amount of future payments
the Company could be required to make under these indemnification  provisions is
unlimited.  The Company has not incurred  material  costs to defend  lawsuits or
settle claims  related to these  indemnification  agreements.  As a result,  the
Company  believes  the  estimated  fair value of these  agreements  is  minimal.
Accordingly,  the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of
June 30, 2005.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

         The information contained in this Form 10-QSB is intended to update the
information  contained  in our Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and presumes  that readers have access to, and will have read,
the "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and other information  contained in such Form 10-KSB.  The following
discussion  and  analysis  also should be read  together  with our  consolidated
financial  statements  and the notes to the  consolidated  financial  statements
included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.

         THIS  DISCUSSION  SUMMARIZES  THE  SIGNIFICANT  FACTORS  AFFECTING  THE
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOWS
OF BRILLIANT  DIGITAL  ENTERTAINMENT  FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AND
JUNE 30, 2004. EXCEPT FOR HISTORICAL INFORMATION,  THE MATTERS DISCUSSED IN THIS
MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION ARE FORWARD  LOOKING
STATEMENTS  THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND  UNCERTAINTIES  AND ARE BASED UPON  JUDGMENTS
CONCERNING  VARIOUS  FACTORS THAT ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.  ACTUAL  RESULTS COULD
DIFFER  MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED IN THE  FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS AS A
RESULT OF, AMONG OTHER  THINGS;  THE FACTORS  DESCRIBED  BELOW UNDER THE CAPTION
"CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS."

OVERVIEW

         Brilliant Digital  Entertainment,  Inc. is a company which, through our
Altnet, Inc.  subsidiary,  operates a  peer-to-peer-based  content  distribution
network that allows us to securely and efficiently  distribute a content owner's
music,  video,  software  and  other  digital  files to  computer  users via the
Internet.  Using internally developed and licensed  technology,  we have created
technologies for a private, or "closed" peer-to-peer network, which allows us to
centrally  control the distribution of a digital file, with  authorization  from
the copyright  owner,  directly from one computer user (peer) to another (peer).
Our ability to control files  distributed over our private  network,  as well as
our use of widely available digital rights management (or DRM) technologies from
Microsoft Corporation, TryMedia Systems, Softwrap Limited and others prevent the
distribution of unauthorized  files over our network and help to protect against
the  unauthorized  use of a  digital  file  once  it  resides  on an end  user's
computer.  We  commercialize  Altnet by partnering with third party operators of
web sites and other Internet applications to enable users of those web sites and
applications  to search for and download  digital files over the Altnet network.
We also operate a payment  processing  "gateway" that enables  computer users to
purchase content distributed over our network.

         We own 100% of the  outstanding  capital stock of Altnet and manage all
of its  day-to-day  operations.  We acquired the remaining  24.5% of Altnet from
Joltid, Ltd. on May 17, 2005 in exchange for the issuance to Joltid of 7,000,000
shares of  Brilliant's  common stock.  Joltid,  Ltd. is the company from whom we
license a substantial portion of Altnet's peer-to-peer  technology.  Previously,
we  increased  our  ownership  of Altnet from 51% to 75.5% in May 2003,  when we
acquired  1,102,500  shares of Altnet's common stock from Joltid in exchange for
7,000,000 shares of Brilliant's common stock. We also issued to Joltid 1,000,000
shares of Brilliant's  common stock as  consideration  for an option to purchase
Joltid's remaining shares of Altnet.  The option,  which was scheduled to expire
in May 2005,  entitled us to purchase  Joltid's  remaining  1,102,500  shares of
Altnet common stock in exchange for 7,000,000 shares of


                                       16
<PAGE>


Brilliant's  common stock,  with a value of $350,000.  In May 2005, we exercised
the option and acquired Joltid's  remaining  interest in Altnet.  Prior to these
transactions,  we received 51% of the outstanding capital stock and Joltid, Ltd.
received 49% of the capital stock.  Neither party was required to make a capital
contribution  in  connection  with the  formation of Altnet.  At the time of the
transaction, the only significant asset owned by Altnet was its technology.

         Our revenues are derived principally from marketing services, licensing
and other services, and digital content revenue.

         Marketing   services   revenues   are  derived  from  paid  search  and
advertising  services.  Under the terms of our agreement with Focus Interactive,
Inc. (formerly know as The Excite Network, Inc.), now owned by Ask Jeeves, Inc.,
we are paid a  non-refundable  bounty  for the  installation  of each My  Search
toolbar  bundled for  distribution  with our Altnet Loyalty Points Manager on an
English  speaking  user's  computer,  and we are paid a percentage  of the gross
profit  earned as a result of clicks on paid search  results by any end users of
these toolbars. We recently announced an online advertising revenue-sharing fund
that  will  be  split  with  top  independent  labels  including  V-2,  Artemis,
Epitaph/Anti,  Side One Dummy  and Palm,  Simmons/Latham,  and Koch  Media,  all
Altnet  music  licensors.  These  labels will share the revenue  generated  from
advertising  that  appears  in the  user  interface  of  popular  Peer  to  Peer
applications.  The fund will be split  proportionately based on content licenses
issued  whether  the music  content is offered for sale,  trial or for free.  In
exchange for services performed by us we will receive a fee from the fund.

         Licensing and other  services  revenues are derived from our sublicense
of rights to the TruNames patent,  business  development  services,  and payment
processing  services.  Under the terms of our patent  sublicense  agreement with
Sharman Networks,  we recognize sublicense revenue on a monthly basis as earned.
We negotiate with third parties that desire to enter into a business transaction
with  Sharman  Networks  relating to the Kazaa Media  Desktop (or KMD)  software
application.  We receive a percentage of the gross  revenue  received by Sharman
Networks for each transaction  entered into based solely on our efforts. We also
generate fees from processing payments for the purchase of digital content using
the Altnet  payment  processing  gateway.  In early  February  2005,  we stopped
processing  payments  for  Kazaa  Plus for  which we were  receiving  a  payment
processing fee.

         Digital  content  revenues are derived from  processing  digital  media
content  (music,  PC  games,  software,  movies)  for  placement  on our  Altnet
peer-to-peer network, and by promoting, distributing, and selling the content to
end users which we access via our Internet  affiliates.  We may charge clients a
processing fee to prepare content for distribution on the network. The amount of
this fee  varies  based on the number of files,  the size of the files,  digital
encoding costs, and the preparation of collateral marketing  materials,  such as
artwork. We charge clients for content promotions on a cost per specified number
of downloaded files. The amounts charged vary based on volume and the complexity
of the campaign.  We charge clients for content sales based on a revenue sharing
basis  where we receive an agreed  upon  percentage  of the sales price for each
transaction or a combination of revenue share and a cost per specified number of
downloaded files.

SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES AND RISKS

         Our future success will depend on our ability to overcome the following
operational challenges:

         o        Our ability to acquire  in-demand content from independent and
                  major musical recording and filmed entertainment companies;

         o        Our  ability  to  diversify   our  reliance   upon  one  large
                  distribution partner, Sharman Networks Limited;

         o        Our ability to increase  revenue from our core  business - the
                  distribution of content over the Altnet network;

         o        Our  ability to raise the  funding  necessary  to support  the
                  sales,  marketing,  and research and development  necessary to
                  grow the Altnet business;

         o        Our ability to either pay or restructure  our secured debt and
                  unsecured trade payables; and

         o        An unfavorable  outcome to the Australian  litigation in which
                  we are involved.

         We intend to continue to aggressively  pursue content  acquisition with
both  the  major  and  smaller   independent   musical   recording   and  filmed
entertainment  companies  in order to address our content  needs and to increase
revenue from the  distribution  of content.  To date, our efforts in this regard
have been  hampered  by the  litigation  surrounding  our  largest  distribution
partner, Sharman Networks, over the legality of the KMD. Despite our efforts, we
have been  unable to obtain  download  licenses  for music  files from the major
musical recording  companies,  even though these companies have granted licenses
to our competitors. Several of these musical recording companies have sued us in
the Federal Court of Australia for activities  relating to our business dealings
with Sharman  Networks.  There can be no assurance  that we will be granted such
licenses at any time in the future.

         A decision in the Australian  litigation in which we and certain of our
subsidiaries and officers are involved is expected in the third quarter of 2005.
If a decision is rendered against us in this litigation, the company and certain
of our officers may be subject to substantial  damages,  and we may be prevented
from engaging in certain business activities.  Either or both such results would
have a material adverse affect on our ability to continue as a going concern.

         In order to reduce our reliance on a single large distribution partner,
we will continue to pursue other distribution outlets for our products including
peer-to-peer  application providers seeking to commercialize their applications,
web  sites  with  traffic  seeking  an easy way to manage  content  provisioning
solutions and content  oriented web sites with targeted  traffic seeking to sell
content.

         We intend to  continue  our pursuit of  additional  capital to fund our
expansion  efforts and to pay both our secured debt holders and unsecured  trade
creditors. At June 30, 2005, we were indebted to our secured note holders in the
amount of $3,849,000,  and our trade payables,  including related parties,  were
$2,460,000. We are also working with both our secured debt


                                       18
<PAGE>


holders and certain of our unsecured trade creditors to restructure amounts owed
them into  long-term  arrangements.  There can be no  assurance  that we will be
successful  in  raising  additional  capital  to pay  these  obligations,  or in
restructuring these obligations to avoid a payment default.

         The accompanying  financial statements have been prepared assuming that
we will continue as a going  concern,  which  contemplates  the  realization  of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
carrying amount of assets and liabilities  presented in the financial statements
do not purport to represent  realizable or settlement  values.  We have suffered
recurring operating losses and at June 30, 2005, had negative working capital of
approximately $4,777,000 (excluding non-cash prepaid expense of $828,000 related
to the  issuance  of  warrants)  and a  stockholders'  deficit of  approximately
$3,383,000.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going  concern.  We  anticipate  that our current cash  reserves,  plus our
expected  generation  of cash  from  existing  operations  in  2005,  may not be
sufficient to fund our anticipated  expenditures.  Consequently,  we may require
additional  equity or debt financing during 2005, the amount and timing of which
will depend in large part on our spending program. The report of our Independent
Certified  Public  Accountants  for the December 31, 2004  financial  statements
included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE

         On June 16,  2005,  we issued  6,666,667  shares of our Common Stock to
Harris  Toibb,  with a value of $400,000,  in exchange for all of the  ownership
interests  in Big Seven  Entertainment,  LLC.  The shares  were issued to Harris
Toibb  in  accordance  with the  terms  of that  certain  Assignment  of  Rights
Agreement,  dated June 15, 2005,  among  Harris  Toibb,  Michael  Toibb and Omni
Management Group, LLC, and acknowledged by us, whereby Michael Toibb assigned to
Harris Toibb, in consideration  of a cash payment,  Michael Toibb's rights under
that certain Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, dated as of June 16, 2004,
among us, Big Seven  Entertainment,  LLC,  Michael  Toibb and the other  parties
thereto.  Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement  Agreement and Mutual Release,
we agreed to acquire from Michael Toibb,  on or before the first  anniversary of
the date of the Settlement  Agreement and Mutual  Release,  all of the ownership
interest  in Big  Seven  Entertainment,  LLC in  exchange  for the  issuance  of
6,666,667 shares of our Common Stock.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

         Our discussion  and analysis of our financial  condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues  and  expenses,   and  related  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and
liabilities.  On an on-going basis,  we evaluate our estimates,  including those
related  to  reserves  for  bad  debts.  We base  our  estimates  on  historical
experience and on various other  assumptions  that are believed to be reasonable
under  the  circumstances,  the  results  of which  form the  basis  for  making
judgments  about the  carrying  values of assets  and  liabilities  that are not
readily  apparent  from other  sources.  Actual  results  may differ  from these
estimates under different assumptions


                                       19
<PAGE>


or  conditions.  Our use of estimates,  however,  is quite  limited,  as we have
adequate time to process and record actual results from operations.

         Our  critical  accounting  policies  are  described  in  Note  2 to the
consolidated  financial  statements  included in Item 2 of this Form 10-QSB.  We
believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue  recognition,  the
corresponding  accounts  receivable and long-lived asset impairment.  We believe
the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments
and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

         Under  SEC  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No.  104 (SAB  104) and  AICPA
Statement  of Position  97-2 (SOP 97-2),  we  recognize  revenue when all of the
following  criteria are met: (1) persuasive  evidence of an arrangement  exists,
(2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller's price
to the buyer is fixed or  determinable,  and (4)  collectibility  is  reasonably
assured.  In the case of each of our product and  service  lines we  establish a
contract or insertion order with our customers with specifics for  requirements,
a fixed price, a delivery schedule,  and terms for payment.  Unless cash is paid
in advance,  our  receivables  are  recorded as revenue is earned.  We regularly
evaluate  the  collectibility  of our  receivables  based  on a  combination  of
factors.  When a customer's  account becomes past due, we initiate dialogue with
the customer to determine the cause.  If we determine  that the customer will be
unable to meet its  financial  obligations  to us, due to a  bankruptcy  filing,
deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position or other
material events  impacting their business,  we record a specific reserve for bad
debt to reduce the related  receivable  to the amount we expect to recover given
all  information  presently  available.  If  circumstances  related to  specific
customers  change,  our estimates of the  recoverability  of  receivables  could
materially change.

         Long-lived  assets and intangible  assets with  determinable  lives are
reviewed for impairment  quarterly or whenever events or circumstances  indicate
that the carrying  amounts of assets may not be recoverable  in accordance  with
SFAS No. 144,  "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG LIVED ASSETS".
We  evaluate  recoverability  of  assets  to be held and used by  comparing  the
carrying  amount  of an  asset  to  future  net  undiscounted  cash  flows to be
generated  by the asset.  If such  assets are  considered  to be  impaired,  the
impairment  to be  recognized  is measured  as the amount by which the  carrying
amount of the assets  exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Such reviews assess
the fair value of the assets  based upon our  estimates of the future cash flows
we expected  the assets to  generate.  In  response  to changes in industry  and
market conditions,  we may be required to strategically realign our resources in
the future, which could result in an impairment of long lived assets.

                                        ==========    ==========    ==========

         Marketing  services revenue  decreased to $2,314,000 for the six months
ended June 30,  2005  primarily  as a result of a decrease  in revenue  from our
agreement with Focus  Interactive,  Inc.  Licensing and other services  revenues
decreased to $761,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1,065,000 for
the six months  ended June 30,  2004,  due to a decrease  in payment  processing
revenues  as  a  result  of  our   discontinuation   of  processing  Kazaa  Plus
transactions  that occurred in early  February  2005.  Digital  content  revenue
decreased  from $229,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, to $158,000 for
the six  months  ended June 30,  2005  primarily  as a result of a  decrease  in
software sales through the Altnet Network.

         COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues decreased from $589,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, to $ 257,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
This net decrease of $332,000 is primarily related to a substantial  decrease in
the costs  associated  with the  operation  of our payment  gateway  services of
$313,000 as a result of our discontinuation of processing for Kazaa Plus.

         SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 43% from
$664,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 2004 to $381,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2005.  The net decrease of $283,000 in 2005 is due primarily to a
reduction  in marketing  and  promotion  costs of $193,000  spent to support our
marketing  efforts for the Altnet  network,  and a reduction in  commissions  of
$90,000.

         GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE.   General  and  administrative   expenses
primarily  include  salaries  and  benefits  of  management  and  administrative
personnel,  rent,  insurance  costs,  professional  fees  and  non-cash  warrant
expense. General and administrative expenses decreased $1,595,000,  or 48%, from
$3,331,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  2004 to  $1,736,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 2005.  This decrease is primarily  attributable to payroll
related cost savings of $566,000 and decreases in legal costs of $740,000.

         RESEARCH AND  DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development  expenses  include
salaries and benefits of personnel  conducting research and development relating
to our Internet web site, payment gateway and related information database,  and
the development of the Altnet Peer Points Manager  software  application.  These
costs decreased from $231,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $197,000
for the six  months  ended  June  30,  2005,  as most of the  development  costs
incurred for the  development of our Peer Points program and our payment gateway
have been incurred.

         DEPRECIATION.  Depreciation  expense  relates to  depreciation of fixed
assets such as computer  equipment  and  cabling,  furniture  and  fixtures  and
leasehold improvements.  These fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives (up to five years)  using the  straight-line  method.  Depreciation
expense  was  $22,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  2004 as  compared  to
$13,000  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2005,  as many of the  depreciable
assets have been fully depreciated.

         LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF BIG SEVEN AND ALTNET. At the time we acquired the
remaining shares of Altnet from Joltid and purchased the shares of Big Seven, we
determined  that both Big Seven and Altnet  were  impaired  and we  recorded  an
impairment charge for the full value of the purchases, totaling $750,000.

         OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Other income and expense primarily  includes
interest  expense.  Other  income  and  expense  decreased  from net  expense of
$2,437,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to a net expense of $2,019,000
for the six months  ended June 30,  2005.  During the six months  ended June 30,
2005,  interest  expense included  interest  accrued on outstanding  convertible
promissory  notes and an additional  $1,832,000 of amortized debt issuance costs
associated  with the  agreement  to  further  extend  the  maturity  date of the
indebtedness.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As  of  June  30,  2005,   our  cash  and  cash   equivalents   totaled
approximately  $1,976,000.  This is an  increase  of  $1,673,000  as compared to
December 31, 2004.  As of June 30, 2005, we had a working  capital  deficit of $
4,777,000  (excluding  non-cash  prepaid  expense  of  $828,000  related  to the
issuance of  warrants).  Included in this working  capital  deficit are accounts
payable,  accrued  expenses and accrued  expenses to related parties of $730,000
which are over 90 days past due, and $3,849,000 of secured indebtedness.

         Our cash and cash  equivalents at June 30, 2005 included  $1,360,000 of
an advance against future payments due us from Focus Interactive, Inc. under our
Strategic Alliance and Distribution Agreement,  dated April 14, 2003, as amended
in April 2005.  Since June,  2003,  payments to us by Focus under our  agreement
have  funded  a  substantial  portion  of our  working  capital.  We  anticipate
receiving  only small cash  payments  from Focus until  approximately  December,
2005, when we expect the remaining portion of the advance to be fully earned.

         We currently satisfy our working capital requirements primarily through
cash flows  generated  from  operations and sales of equity  securities.  We are
seeking additional  funding.  There can be no assurance that with any additional
financing, higher cash flows will be generated by operations.

CASH FLOWS

         Cash flows from operating,  investing and financing  activities for the
six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are summarized in the following table:


                                       22
<PAGE>


ACTIVITY:                                          2004                 2005
--------------------------------------         -----------          -----------

Continuing Operations ................         $  (314,000)         $ 1,682,000
Investing ............................         $   (33,000)         $    (4,000)
Financing ............................         $   (50,000)         $    (5,000)

         During the six months ended June 30, 2005 we had a net increase in cash
of $1,673,000. The net increase in cash from operating activities during the six
months  ended  June  30,  2005  was  primarily  the  result  of the net  loss of
$2,138,000,  a decrease  of  $120,000  in  guaranteed  minimum  payments,  and a
$1,041,000 decrease in accrued expenses.  These amounts were offset primarily by
$1,652,000  in  non-cash   interest   expense,   $349,000  in  non-cash  warrant
amortization,  $1,417,000  in  accounts  receivable,  an increase of $772,000 in
deferred revenue and an impairment loss of $750,000.

         We are  not  generating  sufficient  cash  flow  to  meet  our  monthly
obligations and pay our existing  current  liabilities and secured debt which is
due in September  2005.  While we have been  successful in the past working with
our secured debt holders to achieve  short term  extensions,  and will  continue
working with our secured debt holders and unsecured creditors to restructure our
obligations,  there  can be no  guarantee  that  we will  be  successful  in our
efforts. Consequently, we may require additional equity or debt financing during
2005,  the amount and timing of which will depend in large part on our  spending
program  and  our  success  in  restructuring   our  secured  debt  and  current
liabilities.  Our previous  financings have been  significantly  dilutive to our
stockholders  and if additional  funds are raised through the issuance of equity
securities,  our stockholders may experience  significant  additional  dilution.
Furthermore,  there  can be no  assurance  that  additional  financing  will  be
available  when needed or that if available,  such  financing will include terms
favorable to our  stockholders  or us. If such  financing is not available  when
required or is not  available on acceptable  terms,  we may be unable to pay our
secured  debt  holders  as their  debt  matures  or trade  creditors  under  our
contractual terms with them, develop or enhance our products and services,  take
advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures,  any of
which could have a material adverse effect on our business,  financial condition
and results of  operations,  and would most likely  result in our having to file
for bankruptcy protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

         In March  2004,  in the  Federal  Court of  Australia,  New South Wales
District  Registry,  Brilliant  Digital  Entertainment,  Inc., our  subsidiaries
Altnet,  Inc.  and  Brilliant  Digital  Entertainment  Pty.  Limited,  and Kevin
Bermeister and Anthony Rose, our Chief  Executive  Officer and Chief  Technology
Officer, respectively,  were joined as defendants in the suit by Universal Music
Australia  Pty.  Ltd.  and  other  record  labels  against   Sharman  and  other
defendants,   alleging   infringement  of  the  copyright  in  sound  recordings
controlled by the  plaintiffs.  The  plaintiffs  allege that due to our business
dealings with Sharman,  we are integrally involved in the operation of the Kazaa
Media  Desktop  and  therefore  liable for the  alleged  copyright  infringement
occasioned by its  development and  distribution.  While we believe these claims
are without merit, if we are unable to have these charges  dismissed,  defending
against these claims,  and defending  against any other actions brought by these
or  similarly  situated  plaintiffs  in  Australia,  the United  States or other
jurisdictions,  could require a significant  use of cash during 2005 and beyond.
If the legal  expenses  and other  costs of defense  are not  covered for by our
insurance  policies or reimbursed by third parties  pursuant to  indemnification


                                       23
<PAGE>


agreements,  the cash required to pay for these costs and expenses  would not be
available  for other  purposes  and our  results  of  operations  and  financial
condition would be materially  adversely affected.  A decision in this matter is
expected during the third quarter of 2005. If a decision is rendered  against us
in this  litigation,  the company and certain of our  officers may be subject to
substantial  damages,  and we may be prevented from engaging in certain business
activities.  Either or both such results would have a material adverse affect on
our ability to continue as a going concern.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

         At June 30, 2005,  we were  indebted to our secured debt holders in the
amount of  $3,849,000,  which  indebtedness  is due and payable on September 26,
2005. The principal and accrued  interest is convertible by the holders into our
common stock at a price of $0.07 per share, for a total of 55,123,107  shares of
common stock at June 30,  2005.  In  connection  with this  financing,  the note
holders received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 73,787,610 shares of
common stock at a current exercise price of $0.07 per share.

         In  connection  with the  extension of the maturity  date of our senior
secured notes,  we agreed to make the following  payments to the note holders in
repayment  of the  indebtedness:  (i)  $50,000  per month,  plus (ii) 50% of any
quarterly EBITDA in excess of $600,000,  plus (iii) 50% of any increased revenue
received from existing sources of revenue or from new sources of revenue.

         Unless we are able to raise additional capital, which we do not believe
will occur,  we will not have sufficient cash at September 26, 2005 to repay the
senior secured notes.  Accordingly,  we are again seeking to extend the maturity
date of the notes. We cannot make assurances that the note holders will agree to
an  extension  at all or on terms that do not result in  significant  additional
dilution to holders of our common stock.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

         At June 30,  2005 and  2004,  we did not  have any  relationships  with
unconsolidated  entities  or  financial  partnerships,  such as  entities  often
referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities,  which would have
been established for the purpose of facilitating  off-balance sheet arrangements
or other contractually  narrow or limited purposes.  As such, we are not exposed
to any  financing,  liquidity,  market or credit risk that could arise if we had
engaged in such relationships.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In December 2004,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 123  (revised),  Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation, which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion  No. 25,  Accounting  for Stock  Issued to  Employees,  and its  related
implementation  guidance. This Statement requires a public entity to measure the
cost  of  employee  services  received  in  exchange  for  an  award  of  equity
instruments  based on the grant  date  fair  value of the  award  (with  limited
exceptions);  the fair value of that award will be  remeasured  subsequently  at
each reporting date through the settlement  date. This Statement is effective as
of the  beginning of the first  interim or annual  reporting  period that begins
after December 15, 2005 for small business issuers. The


                                       24
<PAGE>


Company  currently  applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock based
compensation  (options).  The amended provisions of SFAS No. 123 had no material
effect on the Company's  consolidated financial position or results of operation
for the year ended December 31, 2004.

         In December  2004,  FASB issued SFAS No. 153,  Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of
exchanges of  nonmonetary  assets.  It eliminates  the exception from fair value
measurement for nonmonetary  exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph
21(b) of APB  Opinion  No. 29,  Accounting  for  Nonmonetary  Transactions,  and
replaces  it  with an  exception  for  exchanges  that  do not  have  commercial
substance.  This Statement specifies that a nonmonetary  exchange has commercial
substance  if the  future  cash  flows of the  entity  are  expected  to  change
significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary
asset exchanges  occurring in fiscal periods  beginning after June 15, 2005. The
Company  is  considering  the  provisions  of SFAS  No.  153 and its  effect  on
nonmonetary exchanges in the future.

         In May 2005,  FASB issued SFAS No.  154,  Accounting  Changes and Error
Corrections,  a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS
154  applies  to all  voluntary  accounting  principle  changes  as  well as the
accounting  for and  reporting  of  such  changes.  SFAS  154 is  effective  for
accounting  changes and  corrections  of errors made in fiscal  years  beginning
after December 15, 2005.

         SFAS  154  requires  voluntary  changes  in  accounting   principle  be
retrospectively  applied to financial  statements  from previous  periods unless
such application is  impracticable.  Changes in depreciation,  amortization,  or
depletion  for  long-lived,  non-financial  assets  accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle,  under
the newly issued standard.

         SFAS 154  replaces  APB  Opinion  No. 20 and SFAS 3.  SFAS 154  carries
forward many provisions of Opinion 20 and SFAS 3 without change  including those
provisions  related to reporting a change in  accounting  estimate,  a change in
reporting  entity,  correction of an error and reporting  accounting  changes in
interim financial statements.  The FASB decided to completely replace Opinion 20
and SFAS 3 rather than amending them in keeping to the goal of simplifying  U.S.
GAAP. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are not expected to have a material  effect
on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operation.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

         Several   of  the   matters   discussed   in  this   document   contain
forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties.   Factors
associated with the  forward-looking  statements that could cause actual results
to differ  materially  from those  projected  or  forecast  are  included in the
statements  below.  In addition to other  information  contained in this report,
readers should carefully consider the following cautionary statements.

       RISKS RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK

         THERE IS DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO  CONTINUE  AS A GOING  CONCERN.  We
currently  have a number  of  obligations  that we are  unable  to meet  without
generating  additional  revenues  or raising  additional  capital.  If we cannot
generate additional revenues or raise additional capital in


                                       25
<PAGE>


the near future, we may become insolvent.  As of June 30, 2005, our cash balance
was approximately  $1,976,000 and we had a working capital deficit of $4,777,000
(excluding  non-cash  prepaid  expense of  $828,000  related to the  issuance of
warrants).  Historically,  we have funded our capital requirements with debt and
equity  financing.  Our ability to obtain  additional  equity or debt  financing
depends on a number of  factors  including  our  financial  performance  and the
overall  conditions  in our  industry.  If we are not able to  raise  additional
financing or if such  financing is not  available on  acceptable  terms,  we may
liquidate assets, seek or be forced into bankruptcy,  and/or continue operations
but suffer  material  harm to our  operations  and  financial  condition.  These
measures  could have a material  adverse  affect on our ability to continue as a
going concern.

         WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES,  A NEGATIVE NET WORTH AND MAY NEVER ATTAIN
PROFITABILITY. We realized a comprehensive loss of $2,138,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2005. Since inception,  we have incurred  significant  losses and
negative  cash flow,  and as of June 30, 2005 we had an  accumulated  deficit of
approximately  $77  million.  We  anticipate  that we will  continue to generate
operating  losses for the  foreseeable  future as we fund  operating and capital
expenditures in the areas of sales and marketing,  administration,  and research
and   development,   all  principally   related  to  deployment  of  our  Altnet
peer-to-peer network and operating infrastructure.  Additionally, as of the date
of this report, our current liabilities significantly exceed our current assets.

         Our business model assumes that our growth and substantially all of our
future  revenues will be derived from our Altnet  peer-to-peer  business,  which
only became  operational in the fourth  quarter of 2002.  This business model is
not yet  proven  and we cannot  make  assurances  that we will ever  achieve  or
sustain  profitability  or that our  operating  losses will not  increase in the
future or be inconsistent with the expectations of the public market.  Primarily
as a result of our continued losses, our independent public accountants included
an explanatory paragraph in its opinion on our financial statements wherein they
expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

         WE HAVE A  SUBSTANTIAL  NUMBER  OF  OUTSTANDING  DERIVATIVE  SECURITIES
WHICH,  IF EXERCISED OR CONVERTED INTO COMMON STOCK,  WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL
DILUTION TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS. At June 30, 2005, we had outstanding $3,849,000 of
senior secured  indebtedness which is evidenced by convertible  promissory notes
due September 26, 2005,  which  indebtedness  is convertible by the note holders
into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.07 per share. The conversion of
the promissory notes would increase the number of shares  outstanding and result
in dilution to our other stockholders.

         The  conversion  price of the  secured  promissory  notes is subject to
reduction if we issue additional securities at a price below the then applicable
conversion price, with exceptions for certain types of securities issuances.  If
we issue securities at a price below the conversion  price,  then the conversion
price  will be  adjusted  downward  to  equal  the  price  at  which we sold the
additional securities. As a consequence,  if we trigger the adjustment provision
for the secured  promissory  notes,  the holders of the  convertible  promissory
notes could  convert them at a lower price,  which would  increase the number of
shares of Common Stock they would receive.


                                       26
<PAGE>


         The table  below sets  forth the  number of shares of our common  stock
that could be acquired by the holders upon  conversion of the  principal  amount
and accrued interest of promissory notes, and the percentages of our outstanding
common stock that the shares issued upon conversion would represent. The amounts
assume  conversion on the maturity date of the promissory notes on September 26,
2005, and include all interest that would accrue on the entire  principal amount
of the promissory notes through such date. The share amounts and percentages are
based on our  closing  share  price of $0.07 on August 8,  2005,  and on assumed
closing share prices of $0.053, $0.035 and $0.018, which prices represent a 25%,
50% and 75% decline,  respectively,  in our August 8, 2005 closing  share price.
The table assumes that we would issue additional securities at these prices, and
thus trigger the price  adjustment  provisions of the notes. The percentages are
also based on  56,523,820  shares of our common stock  outstanding  on August 8,
2005.

         25%                   $0.053            72,336,364           56.1%

         Additionally,  we anticipate  that during the remainder of 2005, we may
need to raise additional  capital, as our current operations are only generating
a modest  positive cash flow. As such, any additional  capital  raising  efforts
would  cause  further  dilution  to  stockholders.   Additionally,  any  further
extensions of the maturity date of our convertible  promissory notes will likely
require us to issue a  substantial  number of  additional  warrants  to the note

         The following  table  illustrates  as of August 8, 2005,  the number of

(1)      For purposes of this table,  we have only  included  warrants  that are
         "in-the-money"  (the exercise  price of the warrants is below the price
         of our  common  stock),  and the  number  of  shares  of  common  stock
         underlying the outstanding warrants has been calculated on a "cashless"
         exercise  basis,  whereby  the  holder of each  warrant  receives  upon
         exercise a number of shares of common  stock with a value  equal to (i)
         the total value of the shares  underlying  the  warrants  less (ii) the
         aggregate  exercise price of the warrants,  and is calculated  based on
         the  closing  sales  price of our common  stock on the Over the Counter
         Bulletin Board on August 8, 2005, which was $0.07.

         issuance  under our 1996 Stock Option Plan that were not the subject of
         an outstanding  stock option or other award at August 8, 2005, and (ii)
         112,970,431  shares  underlying  warrants  that  have  exercise  prices
         ranging from $0.07 to $0.6096 per share, and thus not "in-the-money."

         The following  table  illustrates  as of August 8, 2005,  the number of
shares  issued  and  outstanding,  as well as the  number of shares  that may be
issued in the future upon conversion of outstanding convertible promissory notes
and exercise of outstanding options and warrants. For the purposes of this table
we have included all warrants  whether they are  "in-the-money"  or not, and the
number of shares of common stock  underlying the  outstanding  warrants has been
calculated on a "paid-for"  exercise  basis,  whereby the holder of each warrant
receives upon exercise a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of
warrants held:

         IF WE  BECOME  INSOLVENT,  WE  WILL BE IN  DEFAULT  UNDER  OUR  SECURED
CONVERTIBLE  PROMISSORY  NOTES,  WHICH  COULD  RESULT IN OUR  OBLIGATION  TO PAY
IMMEDIATELY ALL AMOUNTS THEN OUTSTANDING UNDER THE NOTES. If we generally do not
pay,  or become  unable to pay,  our debts as such  debts  become  due,  we will
default  under  our  outstanding  Secured  Convertible  Promissory  Notes,  with
aggregate  principal  and accrued  interest and fees of  $3,849,000  at June 30,
2005.  If a default  occurs,  all amounts owed to the holders of the notes would
immediately become due and payable. If we are not able to repay the indebtedness
when due,  the holders of the notes will be  entitled  to exercise  all of their
rights and remedies, including foreclosure on all of our assets which we pledged
as collateral to secure repayment of the debt.

         OUR STOCK PRICE AND TRADING VOLUME FLUCTUATE WIDELY AND MAY CONTINUE TO
DO SO IN THE FUTURE. AS A RESULT, WE MAY EXPERIENCE  SIGNIFICANT DECLINES IN OUR
STOCK PRICE.  The market  price and trading  volume of our common  stock,  which
trades on the Over the  Counter  Bulletin  Board  (OTCBB),  has been  subject to
substantial volatility,  which is likely to continue. This volatility may result
in significant declines in the price of our common stock. Factors that may cause
these fluctuations include:

         o        variations in quarterly operating results;

         o        the gain or loss of significant contracts;

         o        changes in management;

         o        announcements of technological  innovations or new products by
                  us or our competitors;

         o        recommendations by securities industry analysts;


                                       28
<PAGE>


         o        dilution to existing stockholders  resulting from the issuance
                  of additional shares of common stock;

         o        short sales and hedging of our common stock; and

         o        adverse legal rulings.

         Additionally,  the  stock  market  has  experienced  extreme  price and
trading volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of securities of
many technology companies.  These fluctuations have, at times, been unrelated to
the operating  performances  of the specific  companies whose stock is affected.
The  market  price and  trading  volume of our  stock  may be  subject  to these
fluctuations.

         IF  OUR  STOCK  DOES  NOT  SUSTAIN  A   SIGNIFICANT   TRADING   VOLUME,
STOCKHOLDERS  MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL LARGE  POSITIONS IN OUR COMMON STOCK. In the
past,  our common  stock has not  experienced  significant  trading  volume on a
consistent  basis and has not been actively  followed by stock market  analysts.
The average  trading  volume in our common stock may not increase or sustain its
current  levels.  As a result,  we cannot be certain  that an  adequate  trading
market will exist to permit  stockholders  to sell large positions in our common
stock.

         FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING  RESULTS MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED  REDUCTIONS
IN REVENUE AND STOCK PRICE VOLATILITY. We operate in an industry that is subject
to significant  fluctuations in operating results from quarter to quarter, which
may lead to  unexpected  reductions  in  revenues  and stock  price  volatility.
Factors that may influence our quarterly operating results include:

         o        the  introduction  or  enhancement  of software  products  and
                  technology by us and/or our competitors,

         o        our  ability  to operate  and  expand our Altnet  peer-to-peer
                  business; and

         o        our ability to fund our legal fees.

         Additionally,  a  majority  of the unit  sales for a product  typically
occurs in the  quarter in which the  product  is  introduced.  As a result,  our
revenues  may  increase  significantly  in a  quarter  in which a major  product
introduction occurs and may decline in following quarters.

         DECREASES IN THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD  INCREASE  SHORT SALES
OF OUR COMMON STOCK BY THIRD PARTIES,  WHICH COULD RESULT IN FURTHER  REDUCTIONS
IN THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. Our sales of common stock at a discount to the
market price of our common  stock,  which may be  necessary to raise  additional
capital to fund  operations,  could result in  reductions in the market price of
our common  stock.  Downward  pressure  on the price of our common  stock  could
encourage short sales of the stock by third parties.  Material  amounts of short
selling could place further downward  pressure on the market price of the common
stock.  A short  sale is a sale of stock  that is not owned by the  seller.  The
seller  borrows the stock for  delivery at the time of the short sale,  and buys
back the stock when it is necessary to return the borrowed shares.  If the price
of the common stock declines between the time the seller sells the stock and the
time the seller subsequently  repurchases the common stock, then the seller sold
the shares for a higher  price than he  purchased  the shares and may  realize a
profit.

         WE HAVE ADOPTED A NUMBER OF ANTI-TAKEOVER MEASURES THAT MAY DEPRESS THE
PRICE OF OUR  COMMON  STOCK.  Our  ability  to issue up to  1,000,000  shares of
preferred  stock and some  provisions of our  certificate of  incorporation  and
bylaws and of  Delaware  law could make it more  difficult  for a third party to
make an unsolicited  takeover  attempt of us. These  anti-takeover  measures may
depress  the price of our  common  stock by making  third  parties  less able to
acquire  us by  offering  to  purchase  shares of our stock at a premium  to its
market  price.  Our  Board of  Directors  can  issue up to  1,000,000  shares of
preferred  stock and determine the price,  rights,  preferences,  privileges and
restrictions,  including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote
or action by our stockholders.  Our Board of Directors could issue the preferred
stock with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the rights
of our common  stock.  The rights of holders of our common stock will be subject
to,  and may be  adversely  affected  by,  the  rights of  holders  of the share
purchase rights and of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The
issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection
with  possible  acquisitions  and other  corporate  purposes  could make it more
difficult  for a third  party to acquire a majority  of our  outstanding  voting
stock.

       RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

         WE DERIVE A SUBSTANTIAL  AMOUNT OF OUR REVENUE FROM OUR AGREEMENT  WITH
FOCUS INTERACTIVE,  INC. We recognized installation bounties and search revenues
from our Strategic  Alliance,  Marketing and  Distribution  Agreement with Focus
Interactive,  Inc.,  totaling  $2,289,000 and  $6,076,000  during the six months
ended June 30, 2005 and fiscal 2004,  respectively,  representing 71% and 69% of
our total revenues during such periods.  If Focus breaches its obligations to us
under our agreement, or the agreement terminates prior to its expiration date in
July,  2006,  our revenues  and cash flows from  operations  will be  materially
adversely affected.

         ALTNET IS AN UNPROVEN  BUSINESS  VENTURE  AND MAY  REQUIRE  SIGNIFICANT
CAPITAL TO BE  SUCCESSFULLY  implemented.  Our Altnet  peer-to-peer  business is
unproven and we cannot  guaranty  that it will be  financially  successful.  The
success of the business  will depend,  in part, on our ability to enter into end
user agreements with a sufficient  number of qualified  personal computer owners
to  allow  the  network  to work  efficiently  and  effectively,  acceptance  by
corporate customers of our services, the technical viability of the commercially
available digital rights  management,  or DRM, software we employ to protect the
proprietary  content  that will pass  through  the Altnet  network and reside on
network  computers,  acceptance  of content  offered  through  TopSearch,  broad
acceptance and use of our micro-payment  processing  system,  and our underlying
peer-to-peer  technology.  Additionally,  we do not have  sufficient  capital to
internally fund Altnet's development and operations.  Consequently,  the capital
necessary  to fund  Altnet  and  expand  the  operations  will need to come from
outside  sources.  We cannot make  assurances  that  sufficient  capital will be
available at all or on terms  acceptable to us to fund Altnet's  development and
operations.

         ALTNET'S MICRO-PAYMENT PROCESSING SYSTEM IS RELIANT UPON THE TECHNOLOGY
AND SYSTEMS OF THIRD PARTY VENDORS THAT PROVIDE THEIR SERVICES TO ALTNET. We use
the  technology  and  services  of third  parties  to  process  payment  for the
individual  sale  of  digital  content  over  our  Altnet  peer-to-peer  system.
NewGenPay Inc. currently provides payment processing  technology and services to
us. The ability to process  payment for  individual  sales at price  points well
below


                                       30
<PAGE>


$1.00  (better  known  as  micro   payments)  is  integral  to  our  ability  to
commercialize the secure distribution and sale of our customers' digital content
to millions of users.  Our ability to  commercialize  Altnet could be materially
adversely affected if we do not maintain our relationships with the vendors that
provide  these  services  on our behalf.  Additionally,  a  disruption  in these
vendors'  services,  problems with their  technology,  or any other matters that
interfere  with their  provision of services to us could  disrupt our ability to
collect  fees  for  the  digital  content  we  distribute,  which  would  have a
materially  adverse  affect  on our  operations  and our  relationship  with our
customers.

         OUR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A STRATEGIC  RELATIONSHIP WITH SHARMAN NETWORKS
COULD  ADVERSELY  AFFECT  OPERATING  RESULTS.  We  receive  compensation  as the
exclusive representative of Sharman Networks for the sale, license, and/or other
commercial  exploitation  of index  search  results  displayed  on or  otherwise
accessed using the Kazaa Media Desktop in response to end user search  requests.
Additionally,  we receive compensation for the sale of advertising campaigns and
other revenue received by Sharman Networks,  as a result of our efforts. We also
receive a monthly  license  fee from  Sharman  networks in  connection  with our
sub-licensing  of  the  TruNames  patent  to  them.  If we do not  maintain  our
strategic  relationship with Sharman  Networks,  these sources of revenue may be
eliminated which would adversely  affect our financial  condition and results of
operations.

         OUR  FAILURE TO  MAINTAIN  STRATEGIC  RELATIONSHIPS  WITH  DISTRIBUTION
PARTNERS COULD REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ALTNET PEER-TO-PEER APPLICATIONS WE ARE ABLE
TO  DISSEMINATE  TO  CONSUMERS,  WHICH WOULD  REDUCE THE NUMBER OF USERS FOR OUR
ALTNET PEER-TO-PEER BUSINESS. We distribute the software necessary to create and
run our Altnet  peer-to-peer  business  primarily  by bundling  it with  Sharman
Networks'  Kazaa Media Desktop.  We rely on computer users' demand for the Kazaa
Media Desktop to increase the installed  base of our Altnet  software,  which is
necessary to connect users to our private  peer-to-peer  network.  Additionally,
through our  agreement  with  Sharman  Networks,  Altnet  distributes  and sells
digital  files to users of the Kazaa Media  Desktop.  Our  business,  results of
operations  and  financial  condition  could be adversely  affected if we do not
maintain our distribution relationship with Sharman Networks on acceptable terms
or if this  relationship  does not achieve  the  projected  distribution  of our
Altnet software or sales of authorized digital files.

         CURRENT LITIGATION AGAINST SHARMAN NETWORKS LIMITED MAY PREVENT FURTHER
DISTRIBUTION  OF OUR ALTNET  PEER-TO-PEER  SOFTWARE,  AND  ADVERSELY  AFFECT OUR
ABILITY  TO  DISTRIBUTE  AND SELL  DIGITAL  FILES TO  USERS OF THE  KAZAA  MEDIA
DESKTOP.  A disruption in the distribution of the Kazaa Media Desktop or its use
by consumers  would adversely  impact (1) the future  distribution of our Altnet
software,  and (2) Altnet's  sale of  authorized  digital  files to users of the
Kazaa Media  Desktop.  For the twelve  months ended June 30, 2005,  we generated
approximately  100% of our total  revenues from  activities  dependent  upon the
availability  of the  Kazaa  Media  Desktop.  If  there is a  disruption  in the
distribution  of the Kazaa Media Desktop or its use by consumers,  we may not be
able to replace  this  source of revenue in the short term,  or at all.  Sharman
Networks,  the Kazaa Media Desktop,  and other  peer-to-peer  software products,
currently are the subject of multiple  lawsuits,  including  METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER
STUDIOS,  INC.  ET. AL. V.  GROKSTER  LTD. ET. AL.,  filed in the United  States
District  Court for the Central  District of  California  (Western  Division) by
twenty-eight  entertainment  companies  claiming that,  among other things,  the
Kazaa  Media  Desktop  facilitates,  contributes  to  and  encourages  copyright


                                       31
<PAGE>


infringement.  Initially,  the District Court granted the defendant's motion for
summary  judgment,  holding that Grokster's and Streamcast's P2P networks do not
contributorily  or  vicariously  infringe the copyrights of the holders of music
and movie  copyrights,  which decision was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the 9th Circuit.  The plaintiffs  appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court,  which
reversed the lower courts'  decisions on summary  judgment and remanded the case
back to the District  Court.  To the extent that  Sharman  Networks is precluded
from  distributing the Kazaa Media Desktop as a result of this  litigation,  our
business and financial  condition  could be materially  and adversely  affected.
While we understand that Sharman  Networks is vigorously  defending  against the
claims  raised  in this  litigation,  we are  unable to  determine  at this time
whether Sharman Networks will prevail.

         WE HAVE  BEEN  SUED IN  AUSTRALIAN  FEDERAL  COURT AS A  RESULT  OF OUR
BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH SHARMAN NETWORKS  LIMITED.  In March 2004, in the Federal
Court of  Australia,  New  South  Wales  District  Registry,  Brilliant  Digital
Entertainment,   Inc.,  our  subsidiaries  Altnet  Inc.  and  Brilliant  Digital
Entertainment  Pty.  Limited,  and Kevin  Bermeister and Anthony Rose, our Chief
Executive  Officer and Chief Technology  Officer,  respectively,  were joined as
defendants in the suit by Universal  Music  Australia Pty. Ltd. and other record
labels  against  Sharman  Networks  Limited  and  other   defendants,   alleging
infringement of the copyright in sound recordings  controlled by the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs  allege that due to our business  dealings with Sharman  Networks
Limited,  we are integrally involved in the operation of the Kazaa Media Desktop
and therefore liable for the alleged  copyright  infringement  occasioned by its
development  and  distribution.  The  plaintiffs  are seeking  damages under the
Australian  Copyright  Act of  1968,  recovery  of  costs  and  interest,  and a
permanent injunction  restraining us from making copies of, communicating to the
public,  or  distributing  their sound  recordings  without a license.  While we
believe these claims are without  merit,  if we are unable to have these charges
dismissed,  defending  against  these  claims  would be  costly,  and an adverse
outcome may result in significant  monetary damages or injunctive relief against
us, all of which would have a material adverse impact on our financial  position
and results of  operations.  A decision  in this  matter is expected  during the
third quarter of 2005. If a decision is rendered  against us in this litigation,
the company and certain of our officers may be subject to  substantial  damages,
and we may be prevented from engaging in certain business activities.  Either or
both such  results  would  have a  material  adverse  affect on our  ability  to
continue as a going concern.

         IF OUR PRODUCTS  INFRINGE ANY PROPRIETARY  RIGHTS OF OTHERS,  A LAWSUIT
MAY BE BROUGHT  AGAINST US THAT COULD REQUIRE US TO PAY LARGE LEGAL EXPENSES AND
JUDGMENTS AND REDESIGN OR DISCONTINUE  SELLING OUR PRODUCT.  We believe that our
Altnet  software,  does not infringe any valid  existing  proprietary  rights of
third parties.  Any infringement  claims,  however,  whether or not meritorious,
could  result in costly  litigation  or  require  us to enter  into  royalty  or
licensing  agreements.  If we are found to have infringed the proprietary rights
of others,  we could be  required  to pay  damages,  redesign  the  products  or
discontinue  their sale. Any of these outcomes,  individually  or  collectively,
could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

         TO DEVELOP  PRODUCTS THAT CONSUMER'S  DESIRE,  WE MUST MAKE SUBSTANTIAL
INVESTMENTS IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO KEEP UP WITH THE RAPID  TECHNOLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENTS  THAT ARE TYPICAL IN OUR INDUSTRY.  The software  market and the PC
industry are subject to rapid  technological  developments.  To develop products
that consumer's desire, we must continually


                                       32
<PAGE>


improve and enhance  our  existing  products  and  technologies  and develop new
products and technologies that incorporate these technological developments.  We
cannot  be  certain  that we will have the  financial  and  technical  resources
available  to  make  these  improvements.  We  must  make  improvements  to  our
technology while remaining  competitive in terms of performance and price.  This
will require us to make  investments  in research and  development,  often times
well in advance of the widespread  release of the products in the market and any
revenues these products may generate.  Until we become profitable,  we will need
to fund these  research and  development  efforts from  proceeds we receive from
equity or debt financings. We do not have sufficient resources to fund long term
research  and  development,  which is presently  on hold.

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

         Members of the  company's  management,  including  our Chief  Executive
Officer,  President and acting Chief Financial Officer,  Kevin Bermeister,  have
evaluated  the  effectiveness  of our  disclosure  controls and  procedures,  as
defined by paragraph (e) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15,  as of June 30,
2005, the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation,
Mr.  Bermeister  concluded  that our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  are
effective.

         There were no changes in our internal control over financial  reporting
or in other factors  identified in connection  with the  evaluation  required by
paragraph  (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that  occurred  during the
six months ended June 30 , 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
