Founded in 1997, ISMG is a sports and news communications firm focused on increasing brand awareness using its expertise in the sports and media sectors with services including, Internet marketing, hospitality and sponsorship.
"Our overall long-term objective is to establish International Sports and Media Group Inc. (ISMG) as the premier media company with a range of high quality products and services. This will position ISME to attract new investment capital for initial expansion and provide the means and ability to reach NASDAQ National Market System status in the future. With selective acquisitions and strategic partnerships, ISMG will look for dramatic increases in revenue and focus on profitability in the near future."
International Sports and Media Group acquired http://www.ussocceruk.com/, which is one of the most active soccer websites in the United States. This particular website will be positioned under ISMG’s network, the Total Soccer Network (TSN), with an additional network of proven Internet soccer properties that have significant traffic. This will be supported with sports news and videos.
USsoccerUK.com currently produces world class soccer content to approximately 280,000 Internet readers. The site currently produces 4.5 million pages views monthly and has a significant number of premium services subscribers.*
"In compliance with applicable U.S. laws, we cannot accept wagers from within the United States or its territories"
GoloLotto's Sports book has all the variety you'd expect from a Las Vegas or European Sports book in one complete package. You'll find straight wagers, parlays, futures, props, teasers, point spreads, totals, prices, money lines and more. The worldwide sports wagering industry is estimated to be over $100 billion in size. GoloLotto’s Internet sports software has added a new dimension to sports betting that makes it dynamic and exciting to millions of sports fans. (I assume this type wager info can be only seen on the site where legal internet wagering is allowed)
"On February 7, 2003, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Latin American Futbol Corporation ("LAFC"),(for) Golo Lotto", (taken from ISMEs SEC filing 424B1 page 19 dated 10/01/04, later changed from a purchase into a marketing agreement to better be comformed with the "Compliance" noted above.)
Interesting Forward Looking type Statement note from SB-2 Dated 2/10/05
Although we have undertaken no marketing efforts to date, we intend during 2005 to direct our marking efforts involving Golo Lotto to the following target markets:
- 1.5 million Internet users in Columbia - 3.2 million Internet users in Chile - 6 million Internet users in Argentina - 7 million Internet users in Mexico - 8 million Internet users in Brazil
We believe that there are also several Internet cafes, bars, stores, and areas throughout the capital cities of these countries where the website may be accessed by soccer fans.
ISMG's Total Soccer Network (TSN) is expected to become the world's largest Internet Soccer Network in the United States and eventually the world. The site will include live, streaming and downloadable Soccer Matches and Archived Matches from World-Class Soccer Libraries. The site's development is in partnership with American IDC and their Broadband Internet Television (BIT) technology. Total Soccer Network will integrate Broadband TV content, Internet content, Internet Gaming and "Premium Mobile Messaging", by employing text today, and video messaging service soon.
Started in 2002 by ISMG sold 90:00 Minutes to LiveWire Sports Group Inc in Oct 2003 with these certain conditions: "We have a limited right to continue to solicit advertising for the magazine, and LiveWire will provide five full pages in the magazine per issue to be used by us or advertising obtained by us.

LOS ANGELES, Apr 20, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- International Sports and Media Group (OTCBB:ISME) today announced that it has selected Go Tech Inc based out of Coronado, Calif. as a technical partner to assist in the technical build out and operation of its SoccerTV Internet platform.
Yan Skwara, President of International Sport and Media Group Inc stated, "Go Tech Inc. has previously spent a significant amount of time and financial resources building a state of the art secured streaming video portal designed to support streaming media delivery and viewer ship. This platform utilizes Windows Media Streaming Technology to allow multiple ISME partners to create their own content space on Go Tech Inc. streaming servers, which can be remotely managed from any location in the world. The advantage for ISME to having this fast access capability is remote encoding of video files and a quick upload of its soccer videos to the Go Tech Inc. portal, for immediate streaming to a world wide soccer audience of over 2 billion fans. This will cut a lot of time and cost in the Soccer video distribution network strategy for ISME."
Skwara continued, "The only requirements for video uploading and distribution of ISME content to the Go Tech Inc. portal is the necessity of having a localized T1 in the area where most of the encoding is to be done. Go Tech Inc. will perform the necessary encoding services for ISME and therefore it makes most sense that Go Tech Inc. manages the server systems and the streaming portal technology, designed by GO Tech Inc. Utilizing the new T1 implementation strategies with the Go Tech Inc.'s streaming video portal will give ISME a flexible, low cost solution and the leverage it needs to promote its content to its worldwide audience at no additional extra cost other than the cost for encoding the content for streaming and the monthly cost of the T1 itself."
Mario Ghecea, CEO of Go Tech Inc. stated, "One of the advantages for International Sports and Media Group of having a T1 localized in the Coronado/San Diego area are primarily for quick access and maintenance of the server systems in case of system malfunctions and failures. The other advantages, to having a T1 localized for ISME is the cost of hosting the T1 through an independent provider/IT department. Go Tech Inc. is a one-stop shop for all the services required by ISME and it makes sense for Go Tech Inc. to provide the hosting support for its servers. Go Tech Inc. can provide low cost encoding, uploading and distribution from one centralized location, eliminating the costly procedure and the failures that can occur when content is remotely transferred to unsupervised servers at an independent hosting facility. It makes most sense to protect the ISME assets by keeping them constantly under supervision and further eliminating the possibility of downtime and costly maintenance fees required by other independent hosting services."

International Sports and Media Group Meets 2004/5 Business Objectives with Licensing Agreements for Sports Energy Drinks with Top Soccer Teams Worldwide; ISME Meets 2004 Business Objectives and Reiterates 2005 Goals
Thursday , May 12, 2005 08:01 ET
LOS ANGELES, May 12, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) --International Sports and Media Group (OTCBB:ISME), a diversified Sports and News Marketing and Communications firm, released today a periodic stockholder update and guidance for 2005.
In 2004, ISME announced its core business focus to create revenue opportunities via Private label Energy Drink partnerships for the Sports and Entertainment sectors, SoccerTV Network and 'Soccer Alert' SMS Text Messaging Campaigns.
ISME is currently in negotiations with several additional top Professional Soccer teams worldwide for licensing agreements to create a private label Energy Drink for the teams utilizing their brand and fan base. ISME management will announce these licensing agreements as they occur in the next few months. ISME has already signed licensing agreements with top European Soccer teams, PSG of France and PSV of Holland. PSG is the most historic soccer team in France, as well as having a solid fan base and a number of championships. PSV is currently the league champion in Holland with more prospects of great success this year on the horizon. Each of these teams are in large markets and ISME expects and anticipate sales will follow accordingly, through selling the drink in the team stadiums, official team stores, supermarkets, gas stations, schools and universities. The partnerships with these two clubs has the ability to not only increase ISME's revenue, but it will also assist ISME in securing additional licensing agreements with additional top soccer and sports teams as well as entertainers in the future. ISME will also work with the teams to sell the beverages to their corporate supporters to place in the offices and VIP suites at the stadium.
ISME will be able to increase profit margins by utilizing local manufactures to produce the beverages, which also helps avoid shipping and import taxes. ISME will work with these local manufacturers on a partnership basis where there is a profit share after manufacturing costs. Local distributors are currently being secured and negotiated to place the beverages into several retail outlets to ensure top sales figures. Since the teams are a big part of their communities, many local retail outlets will show their support by selling the beverage in their stores.
Gordon Lee, Chairman, said: "In 2004 we achieved recognition when we began the purchase of www.ussocceruk.com. Our rapid growth model combines complementary businesses to reduce costs and enhance revenue. We work to create shareholder equity with stable, strong assets and revenues. We focus on this paradigm and as our regulatory filings and overall progress to date clearly demonstrate, we deliver results."
Yan Skwara, President of International Sports and Media Group, added: "If you take the Energy Drink Licensing Agreements we have just recently announced geared specifically for the Soccer arena and add it together with the live streaming of Soccer matches over the Internet on our Internet Soccer network, SoccerTV, and couple it with the capabilities of our 'Soccer Alert' SMS Text Messaging service, we think we have assembled an exciting opportunity from a growth standpoint in the sports and media sector for our shareholders over the next twelve to eighteen months."
Additionally, on April 25, 2005, International Sports and Media Group chose GO Tech Inc., a software consulting company based in Coronado, Calif., to become its unprecedented strategic partner for its SoccerTV Network, in the area of internet streaming video, hardware and software integration for Soccer Matches shown live and archived over the internet. GO Tech Inc. has a tremendous amount of industry experience related to the design and integration of heavy-duty, scalable Video Streaming Server Systems, particularly Video on Demand (VOD) and deployable Broadcast Internet Television (BIT) systems.
Mario Ghecea, CEO, GO Tech Inc., explained: "Our video streaming servers are some of the fastest Video on Demand (VOD) optimized streaming media networks available in the industry today. We offer a fast, dual Xeon processor architecture on our servers, combined with RAID-based storage for expansion. On the software side, GO Tech Inc. has built a Streaming Video Portal (SVP) for its client, which allows an unlimited number of global partners and participating sports networks to tie directly into the portal and manage their unique content space using secured authentication.
"On the technology side, the main focus for ISME would be to distribute its patent pending 'Streaming Video Sports Network' technology on a national scale with its goal to eventually increase their exposure on a global scale! The leverage achieved by ISME would be tremendous in the area of global content aggregation and sports-based, distributed video networking!
"It makes perfect sense!" continued Ghecea, "ISME plans to leverage this new and exciting technology on the web and the time to do it is now! There aren't many soccer networks out there taking advantage of streaming video technology, trying to reach out to their web-based audience and the ever increasing, untapped sports market, consisting of rampant numbers of fans world-wide. ISME is uniquely positioned to become a leader in sports-based media distribution and internet broadcasting. ISME is definitely paving their way to success and is prone to become the ultimate, web-based distributed Soccer network!"
To enhance investor liquidity and promote institutional participation, ISME intends to apply for a listing on a larger stock exchange as soon as is practicable. ISME already meets some requirements for listing on NASDAQ or AMEX.
The Company cautions that this guidance is our best, good faith estimate based on current conditions and numerous assumptions about the industry, our access to financing, the competitive and regulatory landscape and our ability to complete acquisitions.
