PART I

ITEM 1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Our business, products and services

We are a business services provider, specializing in meeting the webcasting needs of corporations, government agencies and a wide range of organizations, as well as providing audio and video transport and collaboration services for the entertainment, advertising and public relations industries. Our operations are comprised in three operating groups, including:

*Visual Data Webcasting Group

*Visual Data Networking Solutions Group (EDNET)

*Visual Data Travel Group (includes HotelView and ResortView)

Products and services provided by each of the groups are:

Visual Data Webcasting Group

The Visual Data Webcasting Group provides an array of corporate-oriented, web-based media services to the corporate market including live audio and video webcasting, packaged corporate announcements, and information distribution for any business, government or educational entity, and can provide point-to-point audio and video transport worldwide.

Our Webcasting Group was created to provide online webcasting services, a cost effective means for corporations to broadcast analyst conference calls live, making them available to the investing public, the media and to anyone worldwide with Internet access. We market the webcasting products through a direct sales force and through channel partners. Each webcast can be heard and/or viewed live, and then archived for replay for an additional fee with an option for accessing the archived material through a company's own web site. Major corporations and small businesses are hiring us to produce live webcasts and custom videos for the web to communicate corporate earnings announcements, conference calls on the web, on-demand audio and video media, product launches, internal training, corporate video news and profiles, crisis communications, and basic online multimedia fulfillment.

In February 2002 we acquired Media On Demand, Inc. (MOD), a privately-held company which provided its customers with vertically integrated streaming media solutions, from onsite production through delivery to end-users. These solutions included original production, editing, and digital encoding of audio and video content, Internet website design and development, and Internet distribution and hosting. MODs operations make up our Webcasting Group.

Our Webcasting Group, which represented approximately 51.5% and 49.7% of our revenues from continuing operations for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, generates revenues through production and distribution fees.

Visual Data Networking Solutions Group

Our Networking Solutions Group, which is comprised of our Entertainment Digital Network, Inc. (EDNET) subsidiary, provides connectivity within the entertainment and advertising industries through its private network, which encompasses production and post-production companies, advertisers, producers, directors, and talent. The network enables high-speed exchange of high quality audio, compressed video and multimedia data communications, utilizing long distance carriers, regional phone companies, satellite operators, and major Internet service providers. The Networking Solutions Group also provides systems integration and engineering services, application-specific technical advice, audio equipment, proprietary and off-the-shelf codecs, video compression and transport equipment, teleconferencing equipment, and other innovative products to facilitate
our broadcast a nd production applications.

1

Based in San Francisco, EDNET develops and markets integrated systems for the delivery, storage and management of professional quality digital communications for media-based applications, including audio and video production for the North American advertising and entertainment industries. EDNET has established a private wide-area network (WAN) through strategic alliances with long distance carriers, regional telephone companies, satellite operators and independent fiber optic telecommunication providers, which enables the collaborative exchange of high quality audio, or for compressed video and multimedia data communications. EDNET also provides engineering services, application-specific technical advice, and audio, video and networking hardware and software as part of its business.

Our Networking Solutions Group manages a global network of over 500 North American affiliates, and nearly 200 international associates, in cities throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. Our Networking Solutions Group, which represented approximately 43% and 42.7% of our revenues from continuing operations for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, generates revenues from the sale, rental and installation of equipment, network usage, distribution fees and other related fees.

Visual Data Travel Group

The Visual Data Travel Group produces Internet-based multi-media streaming videos such as hotel, resort, golf facility, travel destination and time-share productions designed to keep a high level of viewer interest. These concise, broadband-enabled "vignettes" generally have running times from two to four minutes. In addition to the high-end vignettes, we offer a commercial on the web, which consists of a two minute narrated photo presentation of corporate properties. We warehouse all of our travel content on our own on-line travel portal Travelago.com.

The Visual Data Travel Group, which represented approximately 5.5% and 7.6% of our revenues from continuing operations for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, generates revenues from production and distribution fees. We own or co-own virtually all the content we create, which we believe provides us with desirable content for syndication.

Sales and marketing

We use a variety of marketing methods, including our internal sales force and channel partners, to market our products and services. One key element of our marketing strategy has been to enter into distribution agreements with recognized leaders in each of the markets for our products and services. By offering our products and services in conjunction with the distributors products, we believe these distribution agreements enable us to take advantage of the particular distributors' existing marketing programs, sales forces and business relationships. Contracts with these distributors generally range from one to two years. For the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, we provided webcasting services to two significant customers. Revenue for these customers totaled approximately $1,491,000 and $2,347,000 for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
For the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 the sales to CCBN were approximately 17% and 9% of total revenue, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 the sales to PR Newswire were approximately 5% and 19% of total revenue, respectively. CCBN was a customer of MOD therefore we did not have any revenues from this customer until the quarter ended March 31, 2002. During the later part of fiscal 2002, PR Newswire created an operating group, Multivu, to manage the large video events. In addition, PR Newswire transitioned their audio only webcasting business to Thomson Financial. The contract with either of these customers can be terminated upon a 30-day notification. See Risk Factors below. Other than this agreement, no other agreement with a customer has represented more than 10% of our revenues during these periods.

Recent developments

On October 22, 2003 we executed an agreement and plan of merger agreement with privately held Onstream Media Corporation to acquire the remaining 72% of Onstream Media that we do not presently own. In December 2001, we acquired an initial 20% stake in and formed a strategic partnership with Onstream Media. In March 2003, we increased our ownership in Onstream Media to approximately 28%. Messrs. Randy S. Selman and Alan Saperstein, officers and directors of Visual Data, became members of the board of directors of Onstream Media.

Under the terms of the agreement, each common share of Onstream Media (other than shares owned by us) shall be converted into the right to receive .1481 restricted common shares of our common stock. It is estimated that at the time of the merger we will issue approximately 2 million shares of restricted common stock to acquire the remaining interest in Onstream Media.

The closing of the merger is subject to various conditions, including approval by the shareholders of Visual Data and Onstream Media, as well as the completion by us of a financing for a minimum of $6.5 million. Jesup & Lamont Securities Corporation has issued a fairness opinion regarding this transaction to our board of directors.

In October 2003 we executed a redemption agreement with Palladin Opportunity Fund, L.L.C. and Halifax Fund, L.P. (collectively as Palladin) with respect to a 6% convertible debenture due December 8, 2003 and a 6% convertible debenture due May 24, 2004 held by Palladin. Under the terms of the redemption agreement, we redeemed a portion of the 6% convertible debentures for approximately $610,000 in cash and Palladin converted the balance of the debentures into an aggregate of 300,000 shares of our common stock. These shares have previously been registered by us under Section 12(g) of the Securities Act.

Discontinued operations

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 we had two additional operating groups, the Visual Data Financial Solutions Group and the Visual Data Golf, Leisure and Syndication Group. The Financial Solutions Group was established in November 1999 to address the information needs of the financial sector. The Golf, Leisure and Syndication Group was formed in December 2000 with the acquisition of the Golf Society of the U.S., which was a membership business that marketed to the golfing community. Its members were provided with the opportunity to acquire equipment, greens fees, trips and various other benefits at a discounted price. In December 2001 we decided to discontinue the operations of the Financial Solutions Group and the Golf, Leisure and Syndication Group as a result of their adverse impact on our financial condition and in keeping with our overall strategic plan.


Competition

The market for Internet broadcast services and video content is relatively new, rapidly evolving and highly competitive. We expect our competition to intensify. We compete with:
- other web sites, Internet portals and Internet broadcasters to acquire and provide content to attract users;

- video and audio conferencing companies and Internet business service broadcasters;

- online services, other web site operators and advertising networks; and

- traditional media, such as television, radio and print.

Our webcasting products and services fall into two competitive areas: live or archived financial and fair-disclosure related conferences, and all other live or archived webcast productions for the corporate, financial, educational and government segments. In the conferences area, we compete with Loudeye/Activate, Yahoo!, Akamais Conference 5.0 platform, FDFN and others that offer live webcasts of quarterly earnings conference calls. For other webcast production, we compete with Activate, Yahoo! and other smaller geographically local entities. Our production services, however, have been in demand by some of our competitors, and from time to time we have provided services to these companies. The nature of the streaming media sector of the Internet market is highly interdependent while being competitive.

3

Our Networking Solutions Groups competition in audio and video networking services is based upon the ability to provide systems compatibility and proprietary off-the-shelf codecs. Due to the difficulty and expense of developing and maintaining private digital networks, bridging services, engineering availability and service quality, we believe that the number of audio networking competitors are, and will remain small. Our primary video networking competitors are video appliance dealers that source video transport hardware. This group's advantage is one that provides a total solution including system design, broadband sourcing, and custom software connectivity applications that include a comprehensive digital path for television commercial transport.

Government Regulation

Although there are currently few laws and regulations directly applicable to the Internet, it is likely that new laws and regulations will be adopted in the United States and elsewhere covering issues such as broadcast license fees, copyrights, privacy, pricing, sales taxes and characteristics and quality of Internet services. It is possible that governments will enact legislation that may be applicable to us in areas such as content, network security, encryption and the use of key escrow, data and privacy protection, electronic authentication or "digital" signatures, illegal and harmful content, access charges and retransmission activities. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, content, taxation, defamation and personal privacy is uncertain. The majority of such laws were adopted before
the widespread use and commercialization
 of the Internet and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Any such export or import restrictions, new legislation or regulation or governmental enforcement of existing regulations may limit the growth of the Internet, increase our cost of doing business or increase our legal exposure, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

By distributing content over the Internet, we face potential liability for claims based on the nature and content of the materials that we distribute, including claims for defamation, negligence or copyright, patent or trademark infringement, which claims have been brought, and sometimes successfully litigated, against Internet companies. To protect our company from such claims, we maintain general liability insurance in the amount of $2 million. The general liability insurance may not cover all potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to indemnify us for any liability to which we may be exposed. Any liability not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our intellectual property. To protect our proprietary rights, we rely generally on copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties, and agreements with consultants, vendors and customers, although we have not signed such agreements in every case. Despite such protections, a third party could, without authorization, copy or otherwise obtain and use our content. We can give no assurance that our agreements with employees, consultants and others who participate in development activities will not be breached, or that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors.

4

We pursue the registration of certain of our trademarks and service marks in the United States, although we have not secured registration of all our marks. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, and effective copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may not be available in such jurisdictions. In general, there can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights through copyright, trademark and trade secret laws will be effective to prevent misappropriation of our content. Our failure or inability to protect our proprietary rights could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Employees

At November 30, 2003 we had 46 full time employees, of whom 23 were design, production and technical personnel, 9 were sales and marketing personnel and 14 were general, administrative and executive management personnel. None of the employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and our management considers relations with our personnel to be good.


General

We were formed under the laws of the State of Florida in May 1993.Our executive offices are located at 1291 SW 29th Avenue, Pompano Beach, Florida 33069. Our telephone number at that location is (954) 917-6655.

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We have an accumulated deficit and we anticipate continuing losses that will result in significant liquidity and cash flow problems. There is significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


For the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, we incurred net losses of $4,191,508 and $11,432,173, respectively. The report of our independent accountants on our September 30, 2003 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that we have incurred significant recurring losses from operations since inception and have a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue our business as a going concern. Although our operating expenses have decreased we continue to incur operating losses.

At September 30, 2003, we had approximately $82,000 of cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2003 we also had approximately $1,002,000 of cash held in escrow to be drawn upon as needed with the approval of the lender. We do not presently have any commitment for capital expenditures. Based upon our current operations and anticipated acquisitions, we will need to raise additional capital through debt or equity to provide for our operations for the next 12 months. In order to service our existing indebtedness, we will need to grow revenues, achieve cost savings or raise sufficient additional capital. In addition, our ability to refinance existing indebtedness is subject to future economic conditions, market conditions, business and other factors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional working capital to fund these anticipated deficits.
If we are un able to significantly increase our revenues or raise working capital when needed to fund our ongoing losses, the viability of our future operations may be in question.

5

We will need additional financing for our existing operations which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to raise capital and to market and sell our services successfully. If we fail in one or both of these efforts, our current level of operations as well as the future growth of our business and operations will be severely limited.

Historically, our operations have been financed primarily through the issuance of debt and equity. Capital is typically needed not only for the acquisition of additional companies, but also for the effective integration, operation and expansion of these businesses. Capital is also necessary to fund our ongoing operations. Our future capital requirements, however, depend on a number of factors, including our ability to grow our revenues, manage our business and control our expenses. We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and existing burn rate. In addition, we have a plan whereby certain non-essential personnel and administrative costs will continue to be reduced so that we may continue to meet operating and financing obligations as they come due. Our ability to grow revenues, achieve cost savings or raise sufficient additional capital will also be necessary
to service our existing indebtedness. Our ability to refinance existing indebtedness is subject to future economic conditions, market conditions, business conditions and other factors.

Based upon an ongoing evaluation of our cash needs, absent a significant increase in our revenues, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our ongoing operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional working capital to fund these anticipated deficits. In our capital raising efforts we may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and debt securities or a combination thereof. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of Visual Data held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are
 senior to those of our common stock.

If we do not raise funds as needed, our ability to continue our business and operations is in jeopardy. There are no assurances that even if such additional capital is obtained or the planned cost reductions which are implemented are successful, that we will achieve profitability or positive cash flow.

We need to raise an additional $6.5 million of capital to close our transacation with Onstream Media.

As described elsewhere herein, the closing of our pending merger with Onstream Media is subject to certain conditions precedent, including our raising an additional $6.5 million in capital. If we do not raise these funds, we will not close the merger. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising these funds under terms and conditions acceptable to us, or at all. In that event, it is not likely we will be able to proceed with the pending transaction with Onstream Media.

Our primary assets serve as collateral under an outstanding loan agreement. If we were to default on this loan, the lender could foreclose on our assets.

On December 4, 2001 we entered into a private debt financing transaction under which the lender agreed to lend us up to $3 million. On May 7, 2003 we restructured this loan pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. The new loan is evidenced by a three year promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 and is collateralized by a blanket security interest in our assets and a pledge of the stock of our subsidiaries. If we should default under the repayment provisions of the secured promissory note, the lender could seek to foreclose on our primary assets in an effort to seek repayment under the note. If our lender was successful, we would be unable to conduct our business as it is presently conducted and our ability to generate revenues and fund our ongoing operations would be materially adversely affected.

6

We expect to continue to experience volatility in our stock price.

Historically, there has been volatility in the market price for our common stock. Our quarterly operating results, changes in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets or the marketing industry, or other developments affecting us or our competitors, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. We expect to experience significant fluctuations in our future quarterly operating results due to a variety of factors. Factors that may adversely affect our quarterly operating results include:


-
the announcement or introduction of new services and products by us and our competitors;-
our ability to upgrade and develop our systems in a timely and effective manner;-
our ability to retain existing clients and attract new clients at a steady rate, and maintain client satisfaction;-
the level of use of the Internet and online services and the rate of market acceptance of the Internet and other online services for transacting business;-
technical difficulties, system downtime, or Internet brownouts;-
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business and operations;-
government regulation; and-
general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the Internet.


As a result of these factors, in one or more future quarters, our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the market price of our common stock would likely be materially adversely affected. In addition, the stock market in general and the market prices for Internet-related companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.


We are dependent on contracts, some of which are short term. If these contracts are terminated, our results of operations would be materially adversely affected.


We are dependent upon contracts and distribution agreements with our strategic partners and clients, including CCBN and PR Newswire. For the year ended September 30, 2003, sales to CCBN represented approximately 17% of our revenue, and sales to PR Newswire represented approximately 5% of our revenue. The contracts with these customers can be terminated upon a 30-day notification. Because of the significant nature of the revenues from this contract to our consolidated results of operations, the termination of any of this contract could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and prospects.

The exercise of options and warrants and the conversion of shares of our Class A-8 Convertible Preferred Stock and Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock will be dilutive to our existing shareholders.

As of November 30, 2003 we had outstanding options and warrants to purchase a total of 1,024,870 shares of our common stock at prices ranging between $2.65 and $257.82 per share. In addition, as of November 30, 2003 we had 232,750 shares of our Class A-8 Convertible Preferred Stock which is convertible into 310,334 shares of our common stock and 20,000 shares of our Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock which is convertible into 66,668 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The conversion of the Class A-8 Convertible Preferred Stock and/or the Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock and will have a dilutive effect on our existing shareholders.

7

The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Class A-9 Convertible Preferred can vary based upon the market price of our common stock.

We have an aggregate of 232,750 shares of Class A-8 Convertible Preferred Stock and 20,000 shares of our Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of November 30, 2003. Each share of the Class A-8 Convertible Preferred is convertible into 1.33334 shares of our common stock. The shares of Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder, or if not so converted, at any time beginning two years from the date of issuance, the holders of the Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock are obligated, upon notice from us, to convert those shares into shares of our common stock. The conversion price is presently $4.50 per share. The conversion feature of the Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to a one time reset to a lower price
at the end of two years equal to 90% of the 10 day average price of the underlying shares of common stock, subject to a floor of $2.10 per share.

Because the conversion price is not fixed, the ultimate number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock is unknown at this time. The following table sets forth:

*the number of shares of our common stock that would be issuable upon conversion of the 20,000 shares of Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock based upon the current conversion price of $4.50 per share, and

*the total number of shares of our common stock that would be issuable upon the conversion of the 20,000 shares of Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock based upon the floor conversion price of $2.10 per share.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a take-over which may not be in the best interests of our shareholders.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our shareholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested shareholders.

In addition, our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors, of which 232,750 shares of our Class A-8 Convertible Preferred Stock and 20,000 shares of our Class A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding at November 30, 2003. Our board of directors may, without shareholder approval, issue preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

ITEM 2.DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

In September 1997, we purchased from an unaffiliated third party a 25,000 square foot facility in Pompano Beach, Florida which now serves as our corporate headquarters and houses all of our production, marketing and distribution activities. In September 2002, we completed the sale and lease back of our principal executive offices to an unaffiliated third party. The sale price was $1,700,000 and we received net proceeds of approximately $721,000 after payment of current obligations due from the mortgage. In connection with the agreement we entered into a five-year lease ending in September 2007. The lease provides for one five-year renewal option. The monthly base rental is approximately $11,000 plus our share of operating expenses with annual 3% increases.

EDNETS principal business offices are located at One Union Street, in San Francisco, California. This office is a 5,000 square foot facility that operates as administrative headquarters and provides the centralized network hub for electronically bridging affiliate studios, as well as overall network management. In addition, the EDNET facility operates as a backup to Florida for webcasting operations. EDNET entered into a lease agreement on July 1, 2003, on a month-to-month basis, which provides for a monthly rental of $9,462.

MODs principal business office is located at 440 9th Street, New York, New York. This office is approximately 2,000 square feet and serves as MODs administrative headquarters. MOD leases this space from an unaffiliated third party under a lease expiring on December 31, 2004 for a monthly rental of $5,000.

On April 30, 2002, we instituted an action in the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit for Palm Beach County, Florida, entitled Visual Data Corporation v. Golf Society International, Inc. (GSI) and Howard Stern, in which we are seeking damages in excess of $6.5 million for breach of contract, fraud in the inducement, negligent misrepresentation and fraudulent misrepresentation against the plaintiffs. In October 2002 we were awarded a default judgment against the plaintiffs in the amount of $7,457,250. We presently intend to pursue collection of this amount, although, we have fully reserved the amount as a result of the financial condition of GSI and our belief that collection of this default will be unlikely. During fiscal year 2002, we fully reserved the amount of the debenture received from GSI as GSI has ceased operations. The
debenture was receiv ed pursuant to a January 10, 2002 Stock Purchase Agreement from our sale of the Golf Society of the U.S. to GSI. Except as set forth above, we are not engaged in any litigation that is material to our operations or outside of the normal course of business.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently expect to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On September 10, 2003, we declared a dividend on our shares of Class A-7 Preferred Stock as prescribed in the designation of the shares of Class A-7 Preferred. The amount owed on the dividend at September 1, 2003 was approximately $68,000, which was satisfied through the issuance of 28,250 shares of common stock on September 10, 2003.

During August and September 2003 holders of an aggregate of 86,832 shares of our Class A-7 Preferred converted those shares into an aggregate of 293,109 shares of common stock, which included shares issued as a payment on dividends accrued on the shares of Class A-7 Preferred from September 2, 2003 through the conversion date.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, we issued 56,368 shares of common stock for consulting and financial advisory services. The services are being provided over periods ranging from three months to one year.

In September 2003, we issued 78,890 shares of common stock in full payment of a promissory note and accrued interest of approximately $140,000.

In September 2003, the holders of our Class A-9 Preferred converted the 30,000 outstanding shares into 214,286 shares of our common stock based upon a conversion rate of $2.10 per share. In addition, we sold an additional 20,000 shares of our Class A-9 Preferred and four year warrants to purchase 40,000 shares of its common stock for $300,000 to two accredited investors in a private placement. The four-year warrants are exercisable at $3.00 per share.

We relied on exemptions available under Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act in connection with each of the foregoing transaction. In each of the foregoing transactions, the recipients were either accredited investors or non-accredited investors who had such knowledge and experience in financial, investment and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in our securities. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with these transactions, the participants had access to business and financial information concerning our company, and the certificates that were issued representing these shares bore the appropriate legend restricting their transfer absent registration of such shares under the Securities Act.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION





The following discussion should be read together with the information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the annual report.








Overview





We are a full service broadband media company that specializes in webcasting, networking solutions for the entertainment industry and marketing solutions for the travel industry. Our operations are comprised in three operating groups, including:





*Visual Data Webcasting Group


*Visual Data Networking Solutions Group (EDNET)


*Visual Data Travel Group (includes HotelView, ResortView, etc.)





Revenue Recognition





Our Webcasting group recognizes revenue from live and on-demand webcasts at the time an event is accessible for streaming over the Internet. Revenue is recognized from the sale of equipment when the equipment is shipped. For customer service projects, revenue is recognized when service is performed. A significant component of our Network Solutions Groups revenue relates to the sale of equipment, which is recognized when the equipment is installed or upon signing of a contract after a free trial period. Our Network Solutions Group recognizes revenues from equipment installation and bridging when service is performed. Network usage revenue is recognized based on customers monthly usage. Our Network Solutions Group leases some equipment to customers under
terms that are accounted for as operating leases. Rental revenue from leases is recognized ratably over the lif e of the lease and the related equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life. All leases of the related equipment contain fixed terms. Our Travel Group libraries recognize production revenue at the time of completion of video production services. Per hit charges are recognized when users watch a video on the Internet. Fixed monthly fees are recognized on a monthly basis consistent with the terms of the contracts. Commissions on bookings are recognized when the stays are completed.

Revenue





We recognized revenue of approximately $6,815,000 from continuing operations for the year ended September 30, 2003, representing a decrease of approximately $1,399,000 (17%) over revenues of approximately $8,214,000 for the same period last year.





Revenues from webcasting accounted for approximately $3,512,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $4,084,000 for the same period last year, which represents a decrease of approximately $572,000 (14%). Included in last year results were revenues from a one-time studio construction project for approximately $368,000. In addition, as a result of competition, we decreased our pricing on our standard on-demand audio only conference calls, which resulted in a decline in revenues. Although the number of webcasts produced increased to approximately 7,800 webcasts for the year ended September 30, 2003 compared to approximately 6,000 webcasts for the prior year, the average revenue per webcast event decreased from approximately $620 for the year
ended September 30, 2002 to approximately $450 for the year ended Septemb er 30, 2003.





Revenues from the network equipment sales and rentals accounted for approximately $747,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $1,040,000 for the same period last year, which represents a decrease of approximately $293,000 (28%). This decrease was due to cash constraints on us that limited our ability to purchase inventory, and, therefore, created a reduction in equipment sales and rentals.





Revenues from network usage amounted to approximately $2,184,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $2,468,000 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of approximately $284,000 (12%). This decrease is the result of fewer customers utilizing our network. During fiscal year 2002 we transitioned the circuits for some of our customers from our control to theirs. This decision was based upon the usage incurred by these customers, the customer's payment history as well as the margin achieved from these circuits. For these transitioned circuits, the customer is now billed directly from the telephone carrier on these circuits, which has resulted in a decrease in revenues. Customers who transitioned their circuits back to their control retain the
option to work with the Company on bridging services and to purchase hardware. The Company is unable to determine what the potential future involvement will be from these customers. In addition, we experienced some churn of existing customers who had decided to manage their own networks.





Revenues from the travel production and distribution accounted for approximately $372,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $604,000 for the same period last year, which represents a decrease of approximately $232,000 (38%). The decrease is the result of the production of fewer new customer vignettes. As part of our overall strategy to become cash flow positive, we decided to minimize expenses and reduce the staff to essential employees. The revenues from this division are sufficient to cover the direct operating costs associated with it. While we do not anticipate an increase in revenues in this division during fiscal 2004, the implementation of these cost-cutting measures have enabled us to receive the benefit of the revenues without adversely affecting our income.





Operating Expenses





Webcasting and related equipment costs amounted to approximately $1,197,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $1,461,000 for the same period last year representing a decrease of approximately $264,000(18%). Cost of webcasting revenue decreased as a result of a decrease in revenues and a low margin construction project that was incurred last year, which was partially offset by an increase due to an expansion and additional redundancy of our webcasting facilities including co-location and bandwidth.





13




Network equipment sales and rental costs decreased approximately $182,000 (32%) from approximately $570,000 for the year ended September 30, 2002 to approximately $388,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 primarily as a result of a decrease in revenues.





Network usage costs accounted for approximately $1,041,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $1,426,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of approximately $385,000 (27%). This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in revenues and the decision to transition less profitable circuits directly to customers.





Travel production and distribution costs amounted to approximately $9,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $103,000 for the same period last year. The decrease of approximately $94,000 (91%) is the result of a decrease in revenues as a result of fewer new vignettes produced.







General and Administrative Expenses





Compensation expense amounted to approximately $3,682,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $4,983,000 for the same period last year representing an decrease of approximately $1,301,000 (26%). This decrease was the result of cost containment measures adopted partially offset by additional costs related to the acquisition of MOD. These cost containment measures resulted in reductions to the overall number of employees. At September 30, 2002 we had 56 full time employees and at September 30, 2003 we had 46 full time employees. The average base salary per employee is approximately $70,000 per annum. As a result of the employee reductions the Company expects to realize a reduction in compensation on the existing business of $700,000 annually plus benefits.





Professional fees decreased approximately $329,000 (24%) from approximately $1,367,000 for the same period last year to approximately $1,038,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003. This reduction is the result of lower legal and consulting expenses.





Other general and administrative expenses of approximately $1,248,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 decreased approximately $303,000 (20%) from approximately $1,551,000 for same period last year due to reduced costs incurred as the result of cost containment measures adopted offset by additional costs of MOD. The decrease was primarily the result of the reduction in office space, warehouse space and telephone services for the New York webcasting operations of approximately $75,000, the reduction in allowance for doubtful accounts of the travel group of approximately $130,000 and the reduction of additional miscellaneous general and administrative costs resulting from the reduction in employees of approximately $190,000, which was partially off-set
by the increase in directors and officers insurance and rental expense for the corpora te office of approximately $65,000 and $30,000, respectively. The Company expects the general and administrative expenses for the existing business to remain at the reduced rates on a going forward basis.





Sales and Marketing Expenses





Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $18,000 during the year ended September 30, 2003, representing a decrease of approximately $171,000 (90%) from approximately $189,000 for the same period last year. The decrease was the result of reduced marketing costs as part of the cost containment program. Sales and marketing costs were limited intentionally as a result of measures to conserve cash, which included the elimination of third party marketing and public relations firms in 2002. The Company intends to resume marketing efforts to grow the business at such time as it has available cash.





14




Depreciation and Amortization





Depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,965,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 decreased approximately $168,000 (8%) from approximately $2,133,000 for the same period last year due to assets fully depreciated, which was partially offset by the additional quarter of depreciation of assets acquired from MOD and the amortization of the customer list resulting from the MOD acquisition (effective date of the transaction was January 1, 2002).





Other Income (Expense)





Other expense was approximately $420,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $5,099,000 during the same period last year. A loss on investment of approximately $3,573,000, net was recorded during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 due to the company fully reserving against the debenture received as proceeds from the sale of its Golf Society of the U.S. subsidiary. We did not have a comparable expense during fiscal 2003. Interest expense amounted to approximately $912,000 as compared to approximately $1,028,000 for the same period last year representing a decrease of approximately $116,000 (11%) primarily due to reduced interest on the debentures, mortgage interest included last year on the building and the settlement of the MOD capital lease
obligations and notes payable, which was partially offset by the expensing of the balance of t he prepaid interest on the prior shareholder loan and interest on the notes executed in the current year. Interest income was approximately $3,000 during the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Other income was approximately $489,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $226,000 for the same period last year. Included in other income for the period ended September 30, 2003 are gains recognized from settlements of existing obligations with creditors and lenders of approximately $651,000. The Company reviewed the existing accounts payable and capital lease obligations and negotiated settlements with vendors and creditors. As a result of the age of the obligations, the Company was able to settle the existing obligations at a significant discount. There were no individually significant settlements. All of the settlements were non-recurring. In addition, approximately $171,000 was
recognized as a loss on the investment in Onstream Media as a result of the equity method of accounting.





Discontinued Operations








Losses from discontinued operations amounted to approximately $763,000 for the year ended September 30, 2002. As a result of our decision in December 2001 to sell our interest in the Golf, Leisure and Syndication Group, approximately $589,000 of operating losses are classified as discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2002. In December 2001, we also decided to cease operations in the Financial Solutions Group and have classified approximately $174,000 as discontinued operations for the year ended September 30, 2002.





During fiscal 2002, we fully reserved (net of approximately $3.2 million of unrealized gain on the related sale) the debenture investment as Golf Society International, Inc. has ceased operations. On April 30, 2002, an action was instituted by us in the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit for Palm Beach County, Florida, styled Visual Data Corporation v. Golf Society International, Inc. and Howard Stern. The complaint sought damages in excess of $6.5 million for breach of contract, fraud in the inducement, negligent misrepresentation and fraudulent misrepresentation against Golf Society International, Inc. and Howard Stern. In October 2002, we were awarded a default judgment against the plaintiffs in the amount of $7,457,250. We presently intend to pursue collection
of this amount, although, we have fully reserved the amount as a result of the financial condition of GSI and our belief that collection of this default will be unlikely.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





Our working capital at September 30, 2003 was approximately $405,000 as compared to a working capital deficit at September 30, 2002 of approximately $2,003,000, an increase of $2,408,000. The change in working capital was primarily attributable:





15




- an increase in restricted cash of approximately $1,002,000,
- an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $522,000,
- an increase in due from shareholders of approximately $300,000,
- a decrease in current notes payable of approximately $1,129,000,
- a decrease in current capital leases of approximately $325,000, and
- a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $1,256,000.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $476,000, a decrease in inventories of approximately $179,000 and an increase in current convertible debentures of $1,543,000.





Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2003 was approximately $1,246,000. The net loss of approximately $4,192,000 was offset primarily by:





- depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,965,000,
- interest expense on notes payable of approximately $438,000,
- amortization of discount on notes payable of approximately $203,000,
- amortization of deferred services of approximately $506,000, and
- a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $539,000.

These increases were partially offset by a gain from settlements of obligations of approximately $651,000 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $468,000.





Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1,308,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003 primarily due to an increase in restricted cash of $1,002,000 and the acquisition of equipment of approximately $317,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2003 was approximately $2,576,000, which included advances from note payables of approximately $2,296,000 and proceeds from the sale of preferred shares of approximately $621,000, which was partially offset by repayment of a note payable of approximately $95,000 and payments on capital leases of approximately $232,000.








For the year September 30, 2003, we had an operating loss from continuing operations of approximately $4,192,000 and cash used in operations of approximately $1,246,000. At September 30, 2003, we had approximately $82,000 of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1,002,000 of cash held in escrow to be drawn upon as needed with the approval of the lender. We do not presently have any commitment for capital expenditures. Based upon our current operations and anticipated acquisitions, we will need to raise additional capital through debt or equity to provide for our operations for the next 12 months. Our ability to grow revenues, achieve cost savings or raise sufficient additional capital will be necessary to service our existing indebtedness. In addition, our ability
to refinance existing indebtedness is subject to future economic conditions, market conditions, busin ess and other factors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional working capital to fund these anticipated deficits. If we are unable to significantly increase our revenues or raise working capital when needed to fund ongoing losses, the viability of our future operations may be in question.

****

As of September 30, 2003, we had accrued board fees of approximately $37,500, which have subsequently been paid.

Code of Ethics





Effective December 18, 2003, our board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's President (being our principal executive officer) and our company's Chief Financial Officer (being our principal financial and accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:





*honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;





*full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;





*compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;





*the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and





*    accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.





Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our President and Chief Financial Officer with respect to any matter that may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of ourcompany's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our President or Chief Financial Officer.





In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's President or Chief Financial Officer. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the President or Chief Financial Officer, the incident must be reported to any member of our
board of directors. Any failure to report such
inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be tr eated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.





Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed herewith with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14 to this annual report. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS**











To the Shareholders of Visual Data Corporation:





We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Visual Data Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.





We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.





In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Visual Data Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring losses from operations since inception. This condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to successfully market and sell its services and or products. Managements plans regarding these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Nature of Business





Visual Data Corporation (the "Company" or "Visual Data" or "VDAT"), organized in 1993, is a full service broadband media company that specializes in webcasting, networking solutions for the entertainment industry and marketing solutions for the travel industry. VDAT is comprised of three operating groups including: Visual Data Webcasting Group, Visual Data Networking Solutions Group (EDNET) and Visual Data Travel Group (includes HotelView and ResortView).





The Visual Data Webcasting Group provides an array of corporate-oriented web-based media services to the corporate market including live audio and video webcasting, packaged corporate announcements, and rich media information storage and distribution for any business entity. The Webcasting Group generates revenues through production and distribution fees. On February 7, 2002, MediaOnDemand.com, Inc. ("MOD") was merged with and into VDAT/MOD Acquisition Corp., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. MOD provided the Company with expanded capabilities and clients in the media video webcasting segment.





Visual Data's Networking Solutions Group, which is comprised of our EDNET subsidiary, provides connectivity within the entertainment and advertising industries through its private network, which encompasses production and post-production companies, advertisers, producers, directors, and talent. The network enables high-speed exchange of high quality audio, compressed video and multimedia data communications, utilizing long distance carriers, regional phone companies, satellite operators, and major Internet Service Providers. The Networking Solutions Group also provides systems integration and engineering services, application-specific technical advice, audio equipment, proprietary and off-the-shelf codecs, teleconferencing equipment, and other innovative products to
facilitate the Company's broadcast and production applications.





The Networking Solutions Group manages a global network of over 500 North American affiliates, and nearly 200 international associates, in cities throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. The Network Solutions Group generates revenues from the sale, rental and installation of equipment, network usage, distribution fees and other related fees.





The Visual Data Travel Group produces Internet-based multi-media streaming videos such as hotel, resort, golf facility, travel destination and time-share productions designed to keep a high level of viewer interest. These concise, broadband-enabled "vignettes" generally have running times from 2-4 minutes. In addition to the high-end vignettes, the Company offers a commercial on the web ("COW"), which consists of a 2 minute narrated photo presentation of corporate properties. The Company warehouses all of its travel content on its own on-line travel portal - Travelago.com ("Travelago").





The Visual Data Travel Group generates revenues from production and distribution fees. The Company owns or co-owns virtually all the content created, which provides content for syndication.

**VISUAL DATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**SEPTEMBER 30, 2003**


NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Nature of Business (Continued)





During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the Company had two additional operating groups, the Visual Data Financial Solutions Group and the Visual Data Golf, Leisure and Syndication Group. The Visual Data Financial Solutions Group was established in November 1999 to address the information needs of the financial sector. The Golf, Leisure and Syndication Group was formed in December 2000 with the acquisition of the Golf Society of the U.S., which was a membership business that markets to the golfing community. Its members were provided with the opportunity to acquire equipment, greens fees, trips and various other benefits at a discounted price. In December 2001 the Company decided to discontinue the operations of both the Financial Solutions Group and the Golf, Leisure and Syndication Group as a result of their
 adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and in keeping with our overall strategic plan.





Liquidity and Going Concern





The consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, and has an accumulated deficit of $55,460,057 as of September 30, 2003. The Company's operations have been financed primarily through the issuance of equity and debt. The Company may be required to seek additional capital to continue operations. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. For the year ended September 30, 2003, we had a loss from continuing operations of approximately $4,192,000 and cash used in operations of approximately $1,246,000. The Company's forecast for fiscal year 2003
 anticipates a reduction in cash used for operations. At September 30, 2003, the Company had approximately $1,085,000 of cash and cash equivalents, including $1 million of restricted cash provided to the Company as a result of the financing of long-term debt from a shareholder. See Note 5.





Included in other income for the period ended September 30, 2003 are gains recognized from settlements of existing obligations with creditors and lenders of approximately $651,000. The Company reviewed the existing accounts payable and capital lease obligations and negotiated settlements with vendors and creditors. As a result of the age of the obligations, the Company was able to settle the existing obligations at a significant discount. There were no individually significant settlements. All of the settlements were non-recurring.





The Company is constantly evaluating its cash needs and existing burn rate. In addition, the Company has a plan whereby certain non-essential personnel and administrative costs will continue to be reduced so that we may continue to meet operating and financing obligations as they come due. Based upon an ongoing evaluation of the cash needs, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and debt securities to provide funding for ongoing future operations. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional capital, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The Companys ability to grow revenues, achieve cost savings or raise sufficient additional capital
will be necessary to
service existing indebtedness. The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to raise additional working capital to fund these anticipated deficits. Further, there can be no assurance that even if such additional capital is obtained or the planned cost reductions are implemented, that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to raise capital and to market and sell its services successfully. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 **SEPTEMBER 30, 2003**


NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Basis of Consolidation





The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Visual Data and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments where its ownership is between 20% and 50%.





Accounting Estimates





The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for allowances for doubtful accounts, revenue reserves, inventory reserves, depreciation and amortization, taxes, contingencies and impairment allowances. Such estimates are reviewed on an on-going basis and actual results could differ from those estimates.





Cash and cash equivalents





Cash and cash equivalents consists of all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.





Restricted cash





Restricted cash consisted of amounts provided by a shareholder in conjunction with a loan. The restricted cash is to be utilized by the Company at the shareholders discretion. See Note 5.





Bad Debt Reserves





The Company evaluates the collectibility of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In cases where the Company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer's ability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due to us, and thereby reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and historical experience. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, bad debt reserves were approximately $332,000 and $395,000, respectively.

 **NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
 
 **SEPTEMBER 30, 2003**








NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Inventories





Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market by analyzing market conditions, current sales prices, inventory costs, and inventory balances. We evaluate inventory balances for excess quantities and obsolescence on a regular basis by analyzing backlog, estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels and other information. We write down excess and obsolete inventory to the lower of cost or market based on the analysis.





Shipping Costs





The Companys shipping and handling costs are included under network equipment sales and rentals costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.





Property and Equipment





Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment under capital leases is stated at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term or the fair value at the inception of the lease. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization expense on assets acquired under capital leases is included with depreciation expense. The costs of leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the life of the improvement.





Software





Included in property and equipment is computer software developed for internal use. Such amounts have been accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.





Goodwill





On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 141, Business Combinations, which eliminates the pooling of interests method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after July 1, 2001 and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which the Company adopted effective October 1, 2001, goodwill is no longer amortized but is reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Long-lived Assets (Other than Goodwill)





General





The Company reviews its long-lived assets (other than goodwill) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the long-lived assets (other than goodwill) by comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets against their respective carrying amounts. The amount of an impairment, if any, is calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.





Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill





At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill (Other Intangible Assets) with a carrying value of approximately $3.1 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $1,075,000 and $460,000, respectively. This was comprised of the customer list that resulted from the Companys acquisition of Mediaondemand.com (see Note 10).





Reclassifications





Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.





Revenue Recognition





The Visual Data Webcasting Group recognizes revenue from live and on-demand webcasts at the time an event is accessible for streaming over the Internet. Revenue is recognized for the sale of equipment when the equipment is shipped. For custom service projects, revenue is recognized when service is performed. Webcasting services are provided to customers using the Companys proprietary streaming media software, tools and processes. Services for live webcast events may be sold separately or combined with on-demand webcasting services in which the Company may host an archive of the webcast event for future use on an on-demand basis. In addition, on-demand webcasting services are often sold separately without the live event component. As a result, the Company has verifiable
and objective evidence of the fair value for both the live and on-demand services. Accordingly, under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, as amended by SAB 104 "Revenue Recognition", and EITF 00-21, the Company recognizes revenue for live webcasting in the period in which the webcast event occurs. Revenue for on-demand webcasting services are deferred and recognized ratably over the period in which the services are provided. Customer billings are typically based on the volume of data streamed at rates agreed upon in the customer contract or a set monthly fee. The payment terms are primarily net 30. Since the primary business for the webcasting group is the delivery of a webcast, returns are inapplicable. If we have difficulty in producing the webcast, we will reduce the fee charged to the customer. Historically these reductions have been very low, and are recorded in the month the event occurs.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Revenue Recognition (Continued)





The Visual Data Networking Solutions Group generates revenues from the sale of equipment, installation of equipment, performance of bridging services and usage of bandwidth. Revenue is recognized for the sale of equipment when the equipment is installed or upon signing of a contract after a free trial period. The Companys policy is to recognize revenue for product sales when title transfers and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon acceptance of the product by the freight carrier. The Companys policies comply with the guidance provided by SAB 101, as amended by SAB 104 by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Judgments are required in evaluating the credit worthiness of our customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is not recognized
until the Company has determined that the risk of uncollectibility is minimal. We recognize revenue upon shipment of the product provided that persuasive evidence of a final agreement exists, title has transferred, the selling price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized from equipment installation and bridging when the service is performed. Equipment installations and bridging services are non-recurring items for the individual customers. Installation and training costs are expensed as incurred. Network usage revenue is recognized based on the customers monthly usage levels. The network usage services are recurring, similar to a monthly telephone bill, and the standard access billing remains relatively consistent, subject to fluctuation based upon the number of the Company's customers. Network usage revenue fluctuates as a result of the addition of new customers or the loss of existing customers, as well as a change in bridging and
long distance services provided to customers. The Visual Data Networking Solutions Group leases some equipment to customers under terms that are accounted for as operating leases. Rental revenue from leases is recognized ratably over the life of the lease and the related equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Deferred Revenue





Deferred revenue represents cash received from customers for production services that are in process or for future events in webcasting. As projects or events are completed the revenue is recognized.





Advertising





Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising expenses from continuing operations were $16,000 and $143,000 for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.





Comprehensive Income or Loss





The Company has no components of other comprehensive income or loss, and accordingly, net loss equals comprehensive loss for all periods presented.





Income Taxes





We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish
a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or change this allowance in a period, we must include an expense or a benefit within the tax provision in our statement of operations.





Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $22.5 million as of September 30, 2003, due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of certain tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards before they expire. The valuation allowance is based on our historical taxable income and our estimates of future taxable income in each jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. Management will continue to assess the likelihood that the deferred tax asset will be realizable and the valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly.





Reverse Stock Split





On June 24, 2003 the Company affected a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split. All references in the consolidated financial statements referring to shares, share prices, per share amounts and stock plans have been adjusted retroactively for the one-for-fifteen reverse stock split. Additional information is presented at Note 7.

Earnings Per Share





For the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Since the effect of common stock equivalents was anti-dilutive, all such equivalents were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share. The total outstanding options and warrants, which have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share, were 963,149 and 1,051,632 at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, the Company has 257,750 (Class A-8) and 20,000 (Class A-9) shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and approximately $1,543,000 in convertible debentures outstanding at September 30, 2003, which can potentially convert into 343,668, 66,668 and 363,577 shares of our common stock, respectively.
The potential dilutive effects of the Class A-8 and A-9 Convertible Preferred Stock and convertible debentures have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share.





Employee 401 (k) plan





The Company has a 401 (k) plan known as the Visual Data Corporation 401 (k) Retirement Plan and Trust (the "Plan"). The Plan is available to all regular employees and provides employees with tax deferred salary deductions and alternative investment options (directly solely by the employees). Employees may contribute up to 20% of their salary, subject to certain limitations. The Company matches employees contributions to the Plan at 25%, up to a maximum of 8% of eligible compensation, at an annual maximum of $12,000 for employees under 50 years of age and $14,000 for employees over 50 years of age. The Company expensed approximately $10,000 and $36,000 in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for our contributions to the Plan. The Companys contributions to the Plan vest at 25% per
 year after the first year.





Fair Value of Financial Instruments





The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk





The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits and places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and does not require collateral from them. Reserves for credit losses are maintained at levels considered adequate by management. Revenue from CCBN represented approximately 17% and 9% of our consolidated revenue for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. See Note 9.





Stock compensation





The Company has a stock based compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 12. The Company has elected to continue using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for employee stock options.





The following table summarizes the pro forma consolidated results of operations of The Company as though the fair value based accounting method in "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS 123") had been used in accounting for stock options.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements





In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, which eliminates the requirement to report material gains or losses from debt extinguishments as an extraordinary item, net of any applicable income tax effect, in an entity's statement of operations. SFAS No. 145 instead requires that a gain or loss recognized from a debt extinguishment be classified as an extraordinary item only when the extinguishment meets the criteria of both "unusual in nature" and "infrequent in occurrence" as prescribed under APB No. 30. The provisions of SFAS No.145 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 with respect to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 and for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with respect to provisions related to SFAS No. 13. The Company adopted this standard
for the year ended September 30, 2003 and it did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.





In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement requires entities to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when liabilities are incurred rather than when the entity commits to an exit or disposal plan, as currently required. Examples of costs covered by this guidance include one-time employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts other than capital leases, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain other exit or disposal activities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002, and will impact any exit or disposal activities the Company initiates after that date.





In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus opinion on EITF 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." The consensus provides that revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met. The consideration for the arrangement should be allocated to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, with different provisions if the fair value of all deliverables are not known or if the fair value is contingent on delivery of specified items or performance conditions. Applicable revenue recognition criteria should be considered separately for each separate unit of accounting. EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Entities may elect to report the change as a cumulative effect adjustment in accordance with APB Opinion 20, Accounting Changes. The Company believes its revenue recognition policies are consistent with this new standard.





In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FASB Interpretation No. 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective
for financial statements of interim or annual
periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company has not entered into arrangements or guarantees that meet the criteria of this interpretation and does not expect the adoption of this interpretation to have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)





In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 which amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income (loss) per share in annual and interim financial statements. While SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148
are applicable to all companies with stock-based
 employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25. The provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 with respect to the amendments of SFAS No. 123 and effective for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002 with respect to the amendments of APB No. 28. The Company implemented SFAS No. 148.





In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and Interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. A variable interest entity is defined as an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about entity's activities through voting rights or similar rights, (2) the obligation to absorb the expected
losses of the entity if they occur and (3) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of FIN 46 to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.





In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In general, SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)





In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 requires certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity to be classified as liabilities. Many of these instruments previously were classified as equity or temporary equity and as such, SFAS No. 150 represents a significant change in practice in the accounting for a number of mandatorily redeemable equity instruments and certain equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share repurchase programs. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003,
and to other instruments at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.








NOTE 2: GOODWILL AND OTHER ACQUISITION-RELATED INTANGIBLE ASSETS





SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, and instead, be tested for impairment on a periodic basis. We completed our annual goodwill impairment tests as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and found no impairment at September 30, 2003 and an impairment of approximately $728,000 at September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, we had goodwill with a carrying value of approximately $2,071,000, associated with the acquisition of EDNET. In addition, we also have intangible assets - customer list of $1,997,000 and 2,611,000 at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, associated with the
acquisition of MOD (see Note 10). According to our analysis of the customer list for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 there was no impairment.





In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company performed impairment tests on the two reporting units, the Webcasting Group and the Networking Solutions Group. The Company assessed the fair value of the reporting units by considering the projected cash flows and comparable company analysis. Given consideration of these factors, the Company reduced the carrying value of the Networking Solutions Group net assets by $728,000 for the year ended September 30, 2002. Based upon the same factors, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of the Webcasting Group for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and the Networking Solutions Group for the year ended September 30, 2003. The Company had an operating loss for the Networking Solutions Group of approximately $69,000 for the year
ended September 30, 2002. For the year
ended September 30, 2003, the Networking Solutions Group had operating income of approximately $382,000. The operating results for the Networking Solutions Group in 2002 and 2003 supported the analysis regarding the respective impairment. The Company is required to perform reviews for impairment in future periods, at least annually, that may result in future periodic write-downs. Tests for impairment between annual tests may be required if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the net carrying amount.

NOTE 5: CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND NOTES PAYABLE





Convertible Debenture





On December 8, 2000 we sold an aggregate of $2,040,000 principal amount of 6% convertible debentures and granted 33,334 one-year warrants with an exercise price of $60.00 per share and 13,334 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $31.95 per share to Halifax Fund, LP and Palladin Opportunity Fund, LLC, two unaffiliated third parties. Halifax Fund, LP and Palladin Opportunity Fund, LLC are affiliates as a result of common control of the entities. Each of Halifax Fund, LP and Palladin Opportunity Fund, LLC purchased the convertible debentures in the ordinary course of business, and at the time of purchase neither Halifax Fund, LP or Palladin Opportunity Fund, LLC had any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute either
the convertible debentures or the shares of our common stock into which they are convertible.





In January 2001, the debenture holders converted $800,000 principal amount of the debentures and $6,312 of accrued interest into an aggregate of 53,583 shares of our common stock based upon the then current conversion price of $15.045 per share pursuant to the terms of the debentures. On October 5, 2001, the debenture holders exercised their warrants for an aggregate of 33,334 shares of our common stock. The exercise price of these warrants was adjusted from $60.00 per share to $9.75 per share by us at the time of exercise.





In February 2001, the Company granted the debenture holders an additional 3,334 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $31.95 per share.





On May 23, 2001, the Company sold an additional 66,581 shares of common stock for $22.50 per share. As a result of the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants issued in conjunction with these debentures, the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the five year warrants has been increased to 18,156 shares and the exercise price has been reduced to $29.33 per share.





For a period of five days beginning on May 24, 2001, we had the right to sell to the purchasers an additional $1,020,000 principal amount of convertible debentures, with identical terms to those described above. On May 24, 2001, we exercised the put right for an additional $1,020,000 principal amount of 6% convertible debentures.





The floor price reset to $4.32 per share on December 8, 2001, and as a result of common stock issued by the Company below the $4.32 per share, the floor price was reset to $4.245, the lowest selling price of common stock by the Company. The floor of the convertible debenture is re-set when the Company sells stock for less then the existing floor, while the convertible debentures are still outstanding.





On December 11, 2001, the debenture holders converted $381,000 of principal and $23,048 of accrued interest into 46,765 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $8.64 per share pursuant to the terms of the debentures.

On March 11, 2002, we redeemed $300,000 of the outstanding principal of the convertible debentures at 115% of par (for a total of $345,000), and the debenture holders each converted $200,000 of the outstanding principal and $54,119 of accrued interest (on the conversion and redemption) into and aggregate of 59,016 shares of common stock at $7.695 per share, in accordance with the conversion calculation from the 6% convertible debentures. We modified the terms of the 6% convertible debentures to redeem the remaining $1,179,000 of outstanding principal at 115% of par value in six equal quarterly installments beginning on July 1, 2002.





We granted the purchasers certain rights of first refusal as they relate to private equity or equity related transactions, and have agreed to certain other limitations regarding the issuance of securities at prices less than the conversion prices described above.

NOTE 5: CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)





(A) On December 4, 2001 we entered into a private debt financing transaction with a shareholder pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Loan Agreement, a Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $3 million and a Security Agreement. Under the terms of the debt financing transaction, the lender advanced us $1.5 million at closing. The note bears interest at approximately 12%, which was prepaid in January 2002 with the issuance of 33,334 shares of common stock. This payment of interest utilizing common stock results in an effective interest rate of 36%. In February 2002 we took the final advance on the note and agreed to prepay the interest on the note with 33,334 additional shares of common stock. The value of the stock issued was approximately $585,000. In June 2002,
we issued 3,667 shares of stock valued at $34,500 to the lender as a principal payment.





Beginning April 2002 we were required to make principal payments on the note of $125,000 per month, until such time as we repaid $1 million of the note, and thereafter our monthly payments shall be fixed at $100,000. At such time as we receive equity or strategic financing in excess of $1.5 million (other than certain excluded transactions), 30% of the net proceeds of such funds will be used by us to reduce the principal owed under the note. If we receive $5 million in an equity or strategic financing transaction (other than certain excluded transactions), then the entire remaining principal amount of the note is to be repaid by us.





We granted the lender a security interest in substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets, and issued him a warrant to purchase 66,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. We agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the shares issuable upon the exercise of this warrant, as well as the shares issued as interest under the note, within six months from the date of the transaction and we granted the lender certain piggy-back registration rights. The shares underlying the warrants have not been registered as of yet, and, the Company received a waiver from the warrant holder.





In conjunction with the transaction, all members of our management had each agreed to limit their annual compensation under certain circumstances while the loan is outstanding. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President each agreed to cancel 50,000 options held by them to purchase shares of our common stock.

NOTE 5: CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)





In April 2003, the Company received a $600,000 loan from this shareholder. This was an advance for a transaction the Company was in the process of finalizing. In May 2003, the Company and the shareholder refinanced the existing obligations of the Company. The shareholder note had a balance of $1,050,000 at March 31, 2003. The shareholder agreed to fund an additional $350,000 as working capital, $1,000,000 as restricted cash and restructure the balance on his note of $1,050,000 and the loan of $600,000 into this transaction. As a result, the Company has a long-term note of $3,000,000 to the shareholder, which is collateralized by all of the assets of the Company. The note bears interest at 5.25%, payable quarterly, beginning July 15, 2003. The loan is a 36-month loan,
with interest only payments on a quarterly basis, and a balloon at May 7, 2006. If the Company receives financing in excess of $2,000,000, 35% of the net amount in excess of $2,000,000 will be used to pay down the principal of the Note. In addition, if the Company has a positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), then 35% of the positive EBITDA will be used to pay down the principal of the Note. The $1,000,000 restricted cash is to be utilized at the shareholder's discretion. In addition, the shareholder converted his outstanding common stock in the Company, approximately 123,667 shares, into 92,750 shares of Class A-8 Preferred Stock. As consideration for this arrangement, the Company issued the shareholder 140,000 shares of Class A-8 Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class A-8 Preferred Stock"). The stated value of the Class A-8 Preferred Stock is $6 per share. The Class A-8 Preferred Stock is a zero coupon and each share converts to 1.33333 shares of common stock (at
 $4.50 per share). The value of the Class A-8 Preferred
 Stock of $840,000 was recorded as deferred loan costs. This is reflected in prepaid expenses on the balance sheet and is being amortized over the term of the loan. At September 30, 2003, the Company has approximately $723,000 of net deferred loan costs in prepaid expenses.





In November 2002, the Company received a $200,000 loan from a shareholder. The principal plus interest of $6,666 were due on March 25, 2003.

In addition, the Company issued 2,500 shares of common stock to the lender. On May 9, 2003 the Company issued 53,334 shares of common stock to satisfy the loan and the interest payable in full.





In June 2001, the MOD received a loan from a shareholder for $100,000. The note bears interest at 25%, payable monthly. This note was satisfied in full on March 31, 2003 with the issuance of 43,334 shares of common stock.





Capital Leases

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, the Company negotiated settlements with several of these leases and paid approximately $216,000. As a result, a gain of approximately $201,000 was recognized during the year ended September 30, 2003 associated with these settlements. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has approximately $9,000 in capital lease obligations.

   NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES





The Company has approximately $59.8 million in net operating loss carryforwards at of September 30, 2003, which expire in 2011 through 2024. The utilization of approximately $11.4 million of the net operating loss carryforward, acquired from the acquisition of MOD, against future taxable income may be limited as a result of ownership changes and other limitations. The Company also has an approximately $3.5 million capital loss carryforward which expires in 2008.





The Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately $22.5 million primarily resulting from the net operating loss carryforward. A full valuation allowance has been recorded related to the deferred tax asset as a result of managements uncertainty as to the realization of such asset. There are no significant temporary differences. Accordingly, no income tax benefit has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as a result of the approximately $3.3 million and $9.3 million current year increase in the Companys valuation allowance related to the 2003 and 2002 net operating losses, respectively.








NOTE 9: SEGMENT INFORMATION





The Companys operations are currently comprised of three operating groups; Visual Data Webcasting Group, Visual Data Networking Solutions Group and Visual Data Travel Group. These operating units are managed from the Companys Pompano Beach, San Francisco and New York facilities.





All material balances related to Company sales, primary business activities, and location of property and equipment are within the United States.





For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company provided webcasting services to one significant customer, CCBN. This customer was a customer of MOD, and, therefore, we did not have revenues from this customer until the quarter ended March 31, 2002. For the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company provided webcasting services to one significant customer, PR Newswire. During the later part of fiscal 2002, PR Newswire created an operating group, MultiVu, to manage the large video events. In addition, PR Newswire transitioned their audio only webcasting business to Thomson Financial. Therefore, PR Newswire was not a significant customer for the year ended September 30, 2003. For the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 sales to CCBN were approximately $1,138,000 or 17%
and $768,000 or 9% of total consolidated revenue, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 sales to PR Newswire, including MultiVu, were approximately $353,000 or 5% and $1,579,000 or 19% of total consolidated revenue, respectively.

NOTE 10: ACQUISITION OF MEDIAONDEMAND.COM





On February 7, 2002, MediaOnDemand.com, Inc. ("MOD") was merged with and into VDAT/MOD Acquisition Corp., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Visual Data Corporation. VDAT controlled MOD as of January 1, 2002 and had made advances of $157,000 to MOD as of that date. The results of MOD are included in these financial statements as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2002. All outstanding shares of MOD capital stock and options have been converted into an aggregate of 226,667 shares of VDAT restricted common stock. The value of the common stock issued was approximately $2.1 million, based on a share value of $9.45 on February 7, 2002. The estimated fair market value of the tangible assets and the
liabilities acquired resulted in a negative
net asset base of approximately $1.0 million. Therefore, as a result of the acquisition, approximately $3.1 million of the purchase price was allocated to customer lists. The following table sets forth the Unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2002 giving effect to the acquisition of MOD, as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented:

NOTE 13: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS





On October 22, 2003 Visual Data Corporation executed an agreement and plan of merger agreement with privately held Onstream Media Corporation to acquire the remaining 72% of Onstream Media not currently owned by Visual Data. See Note 3. Under the terms of the agreement, each common share of Onstream Media (other than shares owned by Visual Data) shall be converted into the right to receive .1481 restricted common shares of Visual Data common stock. It is estimated that at the time of the merger Visual Data will issue approximately 2 million shares of restricted common stock to acquire the remaining interest in Onstream Media.





The closing of the merger is subject to various conditions, including approval by Visual Data and Onstream Media shareholders, as well as the completion by Visual Data of a financing for a minimum of $6.5 million. Jesup & Lamont Securities Corporation has issued a fairness opinion regarding this transaction to the board of directors of Visual Data.





In October 2003 Visual Data also executed a redemption agreement with Palladin Opportunity Fund, L.L.C. and Halifax Fund, L.P. (collectively as "Palladin") with respect to a 6% convertible debenture due December 8, 2003 and a 6% convertible debenture due May 24, 2004 held by Palladin. Under the terms of the redemption agreement, Visual Data redeemed a portion of the 6% convertible debentures for approximately $610,000 in cash and Palladin converted the balance of the debentures into an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Visual Datas common stock. These shares have previously been registered by Visual Data under Section 12(g) of the Securities Act of 1933. See Note 5.





In October 2003, Visual Data raised approximately $864,000 in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of said act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. In this private placement Visual Data sold 411,500 shares of its common stock and four year common stock purchase warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 82,300 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share to a group of approximately 17 accredited investors. Visual Data paid a commission and finders fees of 53,495 shares of common stock for assisting it in the private placement. Visual Data granted the purchasers registration rights covering the shares, including the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The proceeds from this private placement
were used to facilitate the cash portion of the aforedescribed redemption agreement, with the balance to be used as general working capital.





In October and November 2003, the Company collected the $300,000 represented as due from shareholder for the purchase of the second tranche of Class A-9 Preferred Stock. See Note 7.
