Auditors' Report



To the Shareholders of

Stream Communications Network, Inc.



We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Stream Communications Network, Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Canada and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.



In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  As required by the British Columbia Company Act, we report that, in our opinion, these principles have been applied on a consistent basis.



The financial statements as at December 31, 2002 and for the year then ended were audited by another auditor who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated April 11, 2003.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada  United States Reporting Differences



In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  Our report to the shareholders is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors report when they are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.  Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States would have affected results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 as summarized in note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2003

(in Canadian dollars)





1.

NATURE OF OPEARTIONS & GOING CONCERN



Stream Communications Network, Inc. (Stream or the Company) mainly provides cable television services and high-speed internet access. Previous business plans of the implementation and commercialization of animal-waste rendering technologies changed to incineration of animal waste and is available for sale, see note 5 - Discontinued operations. All of its operations are located in Poland.



The Company was incorporated on March 28, 1979  by registration of its Memorandum and Articles under the Company Act of British Columbia, Canada.  On October 19, 2001 the Company changed its name from Trooper Technologies Inc. to Stream Communications Network, Inc.



These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future.



For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company had a loss of $6,254,620, an accumulated deficit of $30,025,012 and a working capital deficiency of $4,060,479. These factors cause there to be uncertainity over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern



The Company is actively pursuing additional funding to continue its current projects (note 19). Management continues to develop the Companys operating capabilities in order to improve cash flow from operations.



Although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these actions, management is confident that it will be able to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

Use of estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses for the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Cash and cash equivalents



Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months.



Inventory



Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis.



Deferred charges



Costs, such as legal, accounting, due diligence, sponsorship and filing fees relating to potential business acquisitions are deferred and applied towards the cost of the acquisition when completed.  Such costs are expensed if the potential acquisition is no longer considered viable by management.



Charges relating to the start-up of the Companys activities regarding animal-waste rendering had been deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years. These charges have been written-off in the year ended October 31, 2001 as this business is considered discontinued operations (note 5).



Property, plant and equipment



Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for using the declining-balance method at the following rates per annum:



|Automobile                         | 20% - 30% 
|---------------------------------- | ----------
|Buildings, offices                 | 3%        
|Computer software                  | 20% - 100%
|Cable television network equipment | 5% - 45%  
|Furniture, fixtures and equipment  | 20% - 30% 





Plant reconstruction-in-progress consists of assets not yet in use and accordingly no amortization is recorded.



Revenue recognition



Substantially all revenues are derived from cable TV subscriber fees. Subscriber fees are recorded as revenue in the period the service is provided. Funds received in advance are deferred.



Foreign currency translation



The Companys significant assets, revenues and expenses are in Poland; accordingly, the Companys functional currency is the Polish Zloty. The Company follows the current rate method of translation which translates foreign assets and liabilities, into Canadian dollar equivalents, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date.  Revenues and expenses are translated into Canadian dollar equivalents at the average rate of exchange throughout the period.  Gains and losses arising from translation of the financial statements are disclosed as a separate component of shareholders' equity.



Transactions that are denominated in foreign currency are initially recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction.  Thereafter, monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates.  Gains and losses resulting from the adjustment are included in earnings.



Loss per share



The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments.  Under this method the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. For all periods presented, the effect of the assumed conversion of stock options and warrants was anti-dilutive.



Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.



Income taxes



The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby future income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences).  Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in income in the period in which the change occurs.  The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.



Acquisitions, intangible assets and goodwill



The Company has adopted the recent recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") with regards to the approved new Handbook section 1581, Business Combinations, replacing section 1580 that will require all business combinations to use the purchase method of accounting.  Also, in accordance with the recent recommendations of the CICA, the Company follows an impairment-only approach for the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite life.  Under the new recommendations the Company is required to perform an initial benchmark test of impairment within six months of adoption, and annual tests of impairment at the reporting unit level.  If the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the carrying value of the asset must be written down to fair value.



For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company has reported an impairment charge of $1,960,000 (2002 - $nil) to reflect the decrease in the carrying value of its goodwill.



The Company has determined that the cable TV licences have an indefinite life.  The Company has evaluated its existing intangible assets and goodwill and concluded that no provisions for impairment were required, except for goodwill from the acquisition of PolVoice, now part of discontinued operations (note 5). Subscriber base is amortized using the straight-line method at a rate of 5%.



Stock-based Compensation



The Company has adopted the recommendations of the new CICA Handbook section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, effective January 1, 2002. This section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services. The standard requires that all stock-based awards made to non-employees be measured and recognized using a fair value based method. The standard encourages the use of a fair value based method for all awards granted to employees, but only requires the use of a fair value based method for direct awards of stock, stock appreciation rights, and awards that call for settlement in cash or other assets. When the fair value method is not used, disclosure is required of the pro forma impact of using the fair value of stock options on the reported results of operations. Awards that a company has the ability to settle in stock are recorded as equity, whereas awards that the entity is required to or has a practice of settling in cash are recorded as liabilities.



Compensation expense is recognized when stock options are issued to employees and directors for the excess, if any, of the quoted market price at the date of grant over the exercise price. Any consideration paid by employees and directors on exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock. If stock options are repurchased the excess of consideration paid over the carrying amount of the stock option is charged to deficit. The effect of applying this new standard to stock options issued to employees and directors is not material.



Effective 2000, the Company adopted the recommendations with respect to grants of options to non-employees whereby compensation expense is determined when stock options are issued and is recognized over the vesting period of the option. The compensation expense is determined as the fair value of the option at the date of grant using an option pricing model.



Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted, on a prospective basis, the fair value method of accounting for all stock-based compensation, as determined by the Black-Scholes option valuation method.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS



During 2001, the company commenced planned operations in providing cable TV and related cable services. The previous business of meat waste rendering was interrupted when  the European Commission imposed a ban on meat and bone meal products due to the risk of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy ("BSE") spread by these products. The Company changed direction in regards to the meat rendering business to avoid liability and uncertainty from the fallout from BSE and applied to change its hazardous waste licence to an incinerator licence. The Company was intending to utilize this licence to start operations in the hazardous waste business, but the company decided to sell this business, as it did not fit with its cable service business.



As at December 31, 2003, the company has not sold Eco-Waste to an arm's length buyer, as originally intended. The net assets were written off during the 2002 fiscal year and the Company is disposing of any remaining assets.



As at December 31, 2002 the net assets related to Eco-Waste were written down to their net realizable value of nil, consequently there are no assets or liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.



In view of the Companys main business and objectives directed towards cable TV, it was decided to discontinue the operations of PolVoice. In this manner, the Company is focused on one business objective. The operations of PolVoice were discontinued and written off.



The statements of operations for the discontinued business operations are:

Options



In  the  Annual General Meeting held on April 30, 2001,  the shareholders approved the creation of the "Stock Option Plan" pursuant to which the directors  were  authorized  to  issue  stock  options from time to time to employees,  officers, consultants and directors of the Company up to 4,375,755 common shares of the Company at the time of such issue,  at a minimum price allowed under the applicable securities laws.



Common share purchase options are issued to directors, officers, employees and non-employees of the company with exercise prices which approximate market values at the time the option is granted. Options granted previous to November 1, 2001 vested immediately and have a term of five years. Options granted after vest one-quarter every year with the first quarter vesting immediately and the remaining options vesting if the Company's shares are trading on an exchange and the trading price for the previous 30 days has exceeded 15% of the exercise price compounding each year to 45% in the third year. Options are normally granted for a period of five years.

(a)

Comprehensive income



Under SFAS 130, the Company is required to record certain gains and losses as a component of Stockholders' Equity, with the current changes in the component balances comprising the balance sheet figure disclosed in a separate statement or in a financial statement note.  The only item in the Company's financial statements impacting comprehensive income is the unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange.



(b)

Stock based compensation



Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value.  The company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).  Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee is required to pay for the stock. There were no stock options granted in 2003 or 2002.



In December 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for StockBased Compensation  Transition and Disclosure.  SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002.  the interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.  The company adopted SFAS No. 148, as required, on January 1, 2003 with no material impact on its financial statements.



(c)

Good will and other intangibles



In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are no longer amortized.  Separate intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life  will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.  SFAS No. 142 also establishes a new method of testing goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of that goodwill or other intangible asset below its carrying value.  The non-amortization provision of SFAS No. 142 applying to goodwill and other tangible assets acquired has been adopted at January 1, 2002.



(d)

New accounting pronouncements



The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" in June 2001. FAS No. 143 requires that asset retirement obligations be recognized as a liability, measured at fair value. The associated retirement costs are capitalized and amortized over the asset's useful life. FAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.



The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". FAS No. 144 requires that an impairment loss should be recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value for assets in use. The standard also changes the criteria for classification of operating results as discontinued operations. FAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 14, 2001.



In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146 Accounting for costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which supersedes EITF Issue No. 94-3 Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in Restructuring).  SFAS 146 is required to be adopted for disposal plans initiated after December 31, 2002.



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150"). SFAS 150 requires that certain financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable as well as certain other financial instruments be classified as liabilities in the financial statements. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003.



In addition, the FASB and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") have issued a variety of interpretations including the following interpretations with wide applicability:



Financial Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" which addresses disclosure and initial recognition and measurement provisions related to guarantees. The disclosure provisions became effective for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions apply to guarantees issued after December 15, 2002.



Financial Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities (formerly referred to as "Special­Purpose Entities"). The Interpretation is generally in effect for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2003.



In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables" (°EITF 00-21"). This consensus addresses issues related to separating and allocating value to the individual elements of a single customer arrangement involving obligations regarding multiple products, services, or rights which may be fulfilled at different points in time or over different periods of time. EITF 00-21 guidance is applicable for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003.



The adoption of these new pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the companys financial position or results of operations.
