A total of fourteen class action complaints were filed against Source Media, Inc. ("SMI") and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas asserting violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 of the accompanying regulations. The fourteen complaints were consolidated by Judge Buchmeyer into the first filed case, Hartsell, et al. v. Source Media, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 398-CV-1980-R (filed August 21, 1998), on October 9, 1998.

The original complaint alleges that on or about October 30, 1997, Source Media announced that it had purchased certain of the electronic publishing assets of Brite Voice Systems, Inc. ("Brite") for $35.6 million and certain of the assets of Voice News Network ("VNN"), for $9.0 million (the "October 1997 Acquisitions"). The assets purchased in the October 1997 Acquisitions consisted primarily of contract rights and equipment used in the Company's voice information services business. The Complaint alleges that, in connection with the October 1997 Acquisitions, defendants wrongfully concealed from their shareholders lost business and assets, and accounting irregularities which have caused an extraordinary overstatement of the Company's revenues, earnings and assets. In addition, plaintiff alleges that defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's current financial performance and future business prospects. The defendants include Source Media and certain of its officers and directors. The Complaint charges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10-b(5) by, among other things, issuing false misleading statements regarding the October 1997 Acquisitions, Source Media's financial condition, as well as its present and future business prospects.
