Cautionary Statement


Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Report"), including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements."  Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  USA Video's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including risks described in this Report, including the "Risk Factors" section contained in this Item 1, and the other documents USA Video files with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").


Introduction


USA Video Interactive Corp. ("USA Video" or the "Company") designs and markets to business customers streaming video and video-on-demand systems, services and source-to-destination digital media delivery solutions that allow live or recorded digitized and compressed video to be transmitted through Internet, intranet, satellite or wireless connectivity.  The Company's systems, services and delivery solutions include video content production, content encoding, media asset management, media and application hosting, multi-mode content distribution, transaction data capture and reporting, e-commerce, specialized engineering services, and Internet streaming hardware.


Although the Company has generated negligible sales for the 2004 year, it continues to explore opportunities that will result in new products for new revenue streams, but there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful.


The Company's products and services are based on its proprietary rich media delivery infrastructure and software and its Store and Forward Video-on-Demand ("VOD") patent.  These technologies, together with video compression technology, facilitate the delivery of video to an end user in a timely and interactive fashion.


USA Video has developed a number of specific products and services based on these technologies.  These include MediaSentinel™, a process that watermarks digital video content; StreamHQ™, a collection of source-to-destination media delivery services marketed to businesses; EncodeHQ™, a service that digitizes and compresses analog-source video; hardware server and encoder system applications under the brand name Hurricane Mediacaster™; ZMail™, a service that delivers web and rich media content to targeted audiences, and mediaClix™, a service that delivers content similar to Zmail™ but originating from an existing web presence.


The Company was incorporated on April 18, 1986, as “First Commercial Financial Group Inc.” in the Province of Alberta, Canada.  In 1989, its name was changed to “Micron Metals Canada Corp.”, which purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of USA Video Inc., a Texas corporation, in order to focus on the digital media business.  In 1995, the Company changed its name to “USA Video Interactive Corp.” and continued its corporate existence to the State of Wyoming.  The Company has five wholly-owned subsidiaries: USA Video (California) Corp., USA Video Corporation, Old Lyme Productions Inc., USA Video Technology Corporation and USVO Inc.  USA Video's executive and corporate offices are located in Old Lyme, Connecticut, and its Canadian offices are located in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Business Environment


The cost of bandwidth and supporting equipment, such as cable modems and other broadband connectivity to homes and businesses, is expected to continue to decrease over the next several years, bringing expanded use of high bandwidth applications for video transmission to the general market.  Meanwhile, compression technologies continue to improve, allowing delivery of higher quality content using existing connectivity.


Strategic Plan


USA Video believes that the expected substantial increases in bandwidth capacity, accompanying decreases in bandwidth cost, increases in consumer computer and video appliance storage capacity, and the proliferation of fast video file transfer techniques will result in an industry focus on downloading as an alternative to streaming as a content delivery mechanism.  To position the Company to take advantage of this anticipated shift, USA Video has focused its immediate plans on aggressively protecting its technology ownership rights, including pursuing licensing arrangements and other forms of enforcement and pursuing marketing of it’s patent-pending digital watermarking technology.


 USA Video continues to research and develop its patent-pending digital watermarking technology while pursuing marketing of its new releases of MediaSentinel™.  


USA Video discontinued the sale of select services from its prototype StreamHQTM after customers' satisfaction and proof of concept.  The Company no longer sells its individual functions of StreamHQTM.  USA Video intends to continue to develop and expand its StreamHQ™ services business, while pursuing opportunities to sell replicated StreamHQ™ systems to corporations and organizations that prefer systems solutions to services solutions.  To this end, USA Video's future plans include:


Continuing StreamHQ™ functionality development, particularly the automation of processes and client account management, which allows more efficient delivery of services and expansion of the services client base;


Scaling the StreamHQ™ infrastructure in modular fashion as necessary to support an increasing number and size of Zmail™ and mediaClixTM campaigns;


Eventually establishing multiple marketing and distribution channels, particularly in the form of alliances with third parties, including some of the Company's product and service suppliers; and


Ultimately expanding and enabling the sales and marketing team, to support increased direct marketing to various markets, including advertising, corporate communications, customer service, entertainment, and education.


Proprietary Technologies


USA Video's proprietary technologies include its (1) VOD patent, and (2) Digital watermarking piracy deterrence technology; and (3) StreamHQ™ infrastructure, software, and service delivery processes.


USA Video’s VOD Patent (US #5,130,792) (the "Patent") as well as patents it has obtained in other countries explicitly covers the rich media delivery model that is becoming more widely accepted as a means of delivering content for education, training, and entertainment; that is, faster-than-real-time download to computer and set-top box hard drives for subsequent content viewing without quality limitations resulting from insufficient or variable bandwidth.  The impact of this Patent becomes more significant as content owners and those that facilitate content delivery adopt this model.








5


The objective of USA Video’s patent-pending Digital Watermarking technology is to deter digital video piracy once a user has been authorized to view a video.  This is one of the major concerns preventing content owners from committing more of their content to the digital medium.  Digital watermarking helps trace content to incidents of piracy, thus deterring piracy.


The ability of StreamHQ™ to deliver services to clients with market-specific value propositions stems from its scalable, streaming-enabled web infrastructure, the software functionality that resides on this infrastructure (such as innovative asset management and user transaction data capture and reporting), and the processes developed for delivering media campaigns to clients.  By delivering features unique to individual markets, such as advertising, corporate communications and customer service, StreamHQ™ services are differentiated from the generic services delivered by competitors.


Products and Services


USA Video’s principal products and services are its proprietary rich media delivery infrastructure and software and the VOD Patent.  These technologies, together with video compression technology, facilitate the delivery of video to end users in a timely and interactive fashion.  


USA Video has developed a number of specific products and services based on these technologies.  These include:


MediaSentinel™, digital watermarking technology used to deter piracy of digital content.


StreamHQ™, a collection of source-to-destination media delivery services marketed to businesses;


EncodeHQ™, a service that digitizes and compresses analog-source video; hardware server and encoder system applications under the brand name Hurricane Mediacaster™;


Zmail™, a service that delivers web and rich media content to targeted audiences;


mediaClix™, a service that delivers content similar to Zmail™, but originating from an existing web presence;


USA Video proposes to grant licenses to use its patented VOD technology on terms comparable to the “reasonable royalty” provided for by U.S. patent laws.  Upon successfully licensing its patent, USA Video could earn per-use royalties, meaning that each time a licensed event occurs (e.g. each time a consumer receives a VOD transmission) a specified royalty will be paid to the Company.  Upon suitable negotiated terms, USA Video may also consider bulk-fee licensing agreements, either apart from or in addition to per-use royalties.  


When USA Video’s patent-pending digital watermarking technology matures into an enforceable patent, USA Video intends to pursue a similar strategy that it will use for its VOD technology with regard to the rights related to the digital watermarking technology.  


USA Video's future plans include the marketing and selling of its StreamHQ™ systems, whereby a customer would purchase an entire system, comprised of hardware assembled by USA Video and software developed and installed by USA Video.  After sale and delivery of the system to a customer, USA Video’s services to the customer would then include updates of software and service and maintenance of hardware, as necessary, for additional compensation.  The services of Zmail™ and mediaClix™ are available to a customer only through the purchase of a StreamHQ™ system.








6

As a cost cutting measure, USA Video terminated the operation of its StreamHQTM infrastructure, which provided individual functionality of StreamHQTM for small customers, as this service was no longer cost effective or deemed necessary at this time.  

Status of Products and Services

With regard to its international VOD patent rights, USA Video has been closely monitoring advances in this wide-ranging industry over recent years and has commenced taking the necessary steps to translate this progress into a sustainable stream of royalty revenue.  What USA Video originally demonstrated to be technologically feasible in the early 1990s has now become commercially feasible as well, with the continually increasing availability of consumer broadband access and steadily improving data compression technologies.  

In view of these developments, USA Video is taking aggressive steps to advance its patent-protected intellectual property rights, which include its patent-pending digital watermarking technology.  These steps include active licensing initiatives and, potentially, litigation when necessary, as a final resort if companies infringing on USA Video’s patent rights refuse to negotiate in good faith.  USA Video has retained leading national legal counsel to advance these patent enforcement initiatives.

Although it is currently focused on protecting its technology ownership rights, including licensing arrangements and other forms of enforcement, USA Video will continue to offer its other products and services, which are all functional, and available.  

USA Video has identified an emerging market for global media streaming services, which the Company developed under the brand “StreamHQ™”.  StreamHQ™ allows corporate, education, entertainment, and other types of business or institutional customers to use the Internet or an intranet to deliver rich media content to target audiences by purchasing a StreamHQ™ system.  By offering customers a complete source-to-destination service that consolidates web, streaming, and data management functionalities, StreamHQ™ eliminates the need for customers to deal with multiple service providers.  

A key service differentiator is user transaction data management, which consists of capture, analysis, and reporting of statistical data that enables the content owner to obtain important feedback on the effectiveness of campaigns.  This data includes network performance and utilization statistics, including bandwidth utilization, number of streaming sessions, streaming rates, video quality and packets lost; total number of times the video was viewed; distribution of users who viewed various portions of the video; information on times of media access, length of time media was viewed, and actions taken during viewing (pause, stop, rewind, etc.).  Additional StreamHQ™ features include the ability to analyze usage by location; the percentage of users who forwarded the video to other people; the percentage of users who received and viewed the forwarded video email; and categorization of users by operating syst em, browser type, and connection speed.  Additional functionality can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.  

Aside from quality streaming, USA Video’s overriding goal in its StreamHQ™ development and deployment has been to give customers media asset management features, tools, and information that provide accountability for their streaming expenditures.  To that end, the Company has developed and is offering for sale products that provide such a return on the customer’s investment.  Zmail™ is a rich media email tool that allows businesses, institutions, and organizations to communicate multi-media messages to targeted audiences via the Internet and to receive prompt, valuable feedback on the effectiveness of their communication campaigns.  Zmail™ is an opt-in communication method, whereby the recipient is directed to a web-landing page containing an embedded media player and links to amplifying information about the media subject.  All user actions within the page are captured, a ggregated, and provided to the customer as intuitive statistical and trend reports.  Similar to Zmail™, mediaClix™ offers a similar landing page and media content; however, access is from a client’s existing web presence rather than an opt-in email.  Hurricane Mediacaster™ is a hardware server and encoder system developed by USA Video.  An additional encoding service available for customers is EncodeHQ™, a service that digitizes and compresses analog-source video.

Customers and Markets


The principal market for the Company’s services is the business-to-business sector, rather than the individual consumer sector.  USA Video’s patent rights potentially have broad application to the VOD marketplace.  USA Video anticipates that it will conduct licensing negotiations with:


companies involved in providing and promoting VOD content, such as film content, video advertisements, online gaming video and subscription video;


companies providing network and other physical infrastructure to enable various VOD applications;


companies providing VOD-enabling software, including advanced data compression schemes; and


companies providing VOD-enabling hardware, including consumer hardware such as digital video recording devices.


The market for digital watermarking will to some extent overlap the market for VOD, but the two are not identical.  For example, digital watermarking technology may be required by copyright-owning content providers who have concerns about the potential for digital piracy of their material; whereas hardware manufacturers may be less concerned about such issues.  Nevertheless, protocols may develop which will require participants in the video industry to embrace some form of digital watermarking.  USA Video will follow those developments closely, and, if necessary, take steps to promote and protect its digital watermarking technology.  


Additionally, companies within the business-to-business sector, rather than the individual consumer, generally possess the greater financial wherewithal and purpose for purchasing StreamHQ™ systems.  The Company’s focus is on companies that can benefit from an engaging rich media and web presentation directed at a target audience.  The Company’s customers for these services have included film companies, event promoters, ministries, travel companies, sports entertainment centers and political candidates.  


USA Video’s customers for StreamHQ™ systems may also be businesses or organizations that are dissatisfied with response rates from traditional email campaigns, or who have in the past been unable to track the response rate to such traditional email campaigns.  Additionally, any business that wishes to increase brand or product awareness in a more cost effective manner than television advertising would be an appropriate candidate for the StreamHQ™ services.  


Sources and Availability of Raw Materials


USA Video assembles its hardware systems from components manufactured by others.  The Company specifies, procures, assembles, tests and deploys the various system components according to a precisely developed set of procedures.  The Company consults on an as-needed basis, with companies that supply the major materials needed to build its systems.  Systems are programmed and configured to meet a wide variety of individual customer requirements.


USA Video procures the materials and hardware to assemble systems and their components from various companies, as needed, and in sufficient quantities to preclude any danger of significant sourcing problems in the immediate future.  There are no seasonal limitations on the Company’s operations.

Competitive Conditions


The streaming media market is new, rapidly evolving and extremely competitive and the Company expects that competition will intensify in the future.  USA Video competes with other companies that provide all or certain aspects of the Company’s services, including other streaming media providers, content encoders, video production companies, Internet data management companies, and others, and expects that additional competition in the future will be provided by those types of providers.  The Company’s current market share is insignificant.  


Other companies may also claim to own intellectual property rights relating to the VOD technology space.  For example, USA Video is aware of another company which claims to own what could potentially be considered competing VOD patent rights.  In this case, however, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued the competitor's first such patent after USA Video's key VOD Patent was issued.  Management believes that USA Video’s VOD technology is superior in that USA Video’s VOD technology has chronological priority over certain patents rights that have been procured by such company; that is, USA Video owns patent rights that are “prior art” to the other company’s under U.S. patent law.


Digimarc Corporation, Macrovision Corporation, and other companies large and small are active in the field of digital watermark technologies.  The video streaming market is currently dominated by a small number of larger companies, including Real Networks, Microsoft, Yahoo and several others, some of which offer source-to-destination streaming media solutions.  Most of USA Video’s current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company.  In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors as the use of the Internet and other online services increases.  In addition, new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies are expected to result in additional competition.  


USA Video is, and will continue to be dependent on vendors and other providers to supply the hardware, software and co-location resources that comprise the Company’s products and services.  Further, USA Video currently competes with, and expects to compete with in the future, providers of some of its technology or system components.  Competition is expected in all areas of business, including pricing, service, product performance, and the Company’s ability to keep up with rapidly improving technology, changing market conditions, evolving industry standards and changing customer demands.


Research and Development


Prior to 1999, USA Video conducted seven years of research and development of its proprietary VOD technology. In 1999, USA Video's focus shifted to marketing and sales of its products and services, with research and development directed primarily at supporting sales and development of Wavelet compression technology.  In 2000, the Company devoted substantial resources to development of its StreamHQ™ services and began development of its proprietary still and motion Wavelet technology, which has been completed as mathematical processes.  In 2001, the Company redirected the Wavelet development effort toward the invention of a content protection technology that is grounded in similar science as Wavelet compression.  The result is the Company’s patent pending digital watermark technology for piracy deterrence.  During 2002, as a result of cost cutting measures necessitated by the state of the market, the Company cut ba ck on its marketing, sales and technical staff.  In 2004, the Company resumed development of its patent pending digital watermark technology.


In fiscal 2002 the Company's research and development expenditures were approximately $277,000.  During fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company’s research and development expenditures were $276,000 and $66,000, respectively.

Intellectual Property


USA Video's success is dependent, in part, upon its proprietary technology.  The Company generally relies upon patents, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and maintain its proprietary rights in its technology products and services.


USA Video applied for a U.S. patent for its VOD technology on February 1, 1990.  Corresponding overseas applications were filed in several countries in 1992.  USA Video was granted the US Patent #5,130,792 in July 1992.  In June 2000, the U.S. Patent Office reinstated the patent, which had expired because of an administrative oversight that led to late payment of fees due in 1995.


In 1999, USA Video was granted patents on its VOD technology in five European countries: England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.  In 2001 and 2002, USA Video was granted a patent in Canada and Japan, respectively, on its VOD technology.  The technological characteristics of the European Patents are based on the U.S. Patent, covering systems for transmitting video programs to remote locations over a switched telephone network, and are similar in scope to the U.S. Patent claims.


On June 19, 2001, United States Patent Application No. 09/884,787, “Method and Apparatus for Digitally Fingerprinting Videos”, was officially filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  This patent is for “MediaSentinel™”.


Employees


As of March 30th, 2005, the Company employed four people, including its two senior executive officers, one technology and one administrative employee. The Company considers the relationships with its employees to be good.


Competition for technical personnel in the industry that USA Video competes is intense.  The Company's future success will depend, in part, on its continued ability to contract or hire, assimilate, and retain qualified personnel. To date, USA Video believes it has been successful in recruiting qualified contractors or employees, but there is no assurance that the Company will continue to do so in the future.


Critical Accounting Policies


USA Video’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, USA Video evaluates these estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation.  USA Video bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which fo rm the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.








10

USA Video considers the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and that require the most subjective judgment:

Revenue recognition;

Accounting for marketable securities;

Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets;

Inventory valuation and related reserves; and

Deferred taxes.

Revenue recognition.  Software revenue and other services are recognized in accordance with the terms of the specific agreement, which is generally upon delivery and when accepted by customer.  Maintenance, support and service revenue are recognized ratably over the term of the related agreement.

Accounting for marketable securities.  The Company classifies its investments in marketable securities as “available for sale.”  The Company carries these investments at fair value, based on quoted market prices, and unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected upon the sale of its marketable securities in the statements of operations.

Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  Long-lived assets are reviewed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 144.  Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets losses are recognized in the period the impairment or disposal occurs.  Long-lived assets are reduced to their estimated fair value.   

Inventory valuation and related reserves.  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.  USA Video uses a standard cost system for purposes of determining cost; the standards are adjusted as necessary to ensure they approximate actual costs.  The Company writes down or reserves for estimated obsolete or excess inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.  USA Video compares current inventory levels on a product basis to its current sales forecast in order to assess its inventory reserve balance.  The sales forecasts are based on economic conditions and trends (both current and projected), anticipated customer demand and acceptance of the products, current products, expected future products and various other assumptions.  If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional w rite-downs may be required.

Deferred taxes.  We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion of the amount may not be realized.  During 2002, we determined that it was no longer more likely than not that we would be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, and an adjustment to provide a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset that as charged to income.

Risk Factors

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Report are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report.

THE COMPANY'S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE ITS BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS.

USA Video has a very limited operating history. The Company has made only very limited sales of its products and services and was in the development stage through December 31, 1999. USA Video's business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as streaming media.  Some of these risks relate to the Company's ability to:







11

maintain or develop relationships with suppliers and marketing partners;

establish a  customer base;

continue to develop and upgrade its technology, products and services;

provide superior customer service;

respond to competitive developments; and

retain and motivate qualified personnel.

THE COMPANY HAS INCURRED SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES; IT EXPECTS TO INCUR LOSSES IN THE FUTURE, AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.

To date, USA Video has not been profitable, has not generated significant revenue from operations, and has incurred substantial losses.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, USA Video had a net loss of $1,403,838.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $33,277,691 and a working capital deficit of $528,997.  The Company intends to continue to expend significant financial and management resources on the development of its proposed products and services, and other aspects of its business.  As a result, the Company expects operating losses and negative cash flows to increase for the foreseeable future.  Consequently, USA Video will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability.  The Company may be unable to do so. If USA Video's revenues grow more slowly than anticipated or if operating expenses increase more than expected, or are not re duced sufficiently, it may never achieve profitability.  Because of factors discussed in this paragraph, USA Video's auditors, in their report on the Company's financial statements, have expressed substantial doubt concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

IF USA VIDEO IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL FINANCING IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS.

USA Video requires substantial working capital to fund its business.  The Company has had significant operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception of its current business and expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.  The Company's capital requirements will depend on several factors, including the rate of market acceptance of its products and services, the ability to establish and expand a client base and the growth and effectiveness of its sales and marketing efforts.  USA Video estimates it will require approximately $1 Million to $1.5 Million in financing to meet its working capital needs over the remainder of 2005 and substantial additional financing thereafter.  Further, if capital requirements vary materially from those currently planned, the Company may require additional financing.  The Company has no arrangements or commitments for any financing.  Financing may not be available when needed on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.  If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may be unable to further develop or enhance its products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or ultimately, to continue in business.

THE COMPANY'S OPERATING RESULTS IN FUTURE PERIODS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS, WHICH WOULD LIKELY AFFECT THE TRADING PRICE OF ITS COMMON SHARES.

USA Video's quarterly and annual operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of its control. Some of these factors include:







12

its ability to attract and retain customers;

the introduction of new video transmission services or products by others;

price competition;

the continued development of and changes in the streaming media market;

its ability to remain competitive in its product and service offerings;

its ability to attract new personnel; and

U.S. and foreign regulations relating to the Internet.

As a result of the factors listed above, and others, period-to-period comparisons of USA Video's operating results may not be meaningful in predicting its future performance.  It is possible that the Company's operating results will not meet market expectations in some future quarter or quarters, which would likely result in a significant decline in its stock price.

THE STREAMING MEDIA BUSINESS IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND USA VIDEO'S FAILURE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY WOULD LIMIT ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN AND INCREASE ITS MARKET SHARE.

The streaming media market is new, rapidly evolving and extremely competitive.  The Company expects competition to intensify in the future.  The Company competes with companies that provide all or certain aspects of the Company's services, including other streaming media providers, content encoders, video production companies, Internet data management companies, and others, and expects that additional competition in the future will be provided by those types of providers and others.  The Company's current market share is insignificant.

The video streaming market is currently dominated by a small number of larger companies, including Real Networks, Microsoft, Yahoo and several others, some of which offer source-to-destination streaming media solutions.  Most of USA Video's current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company.  In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors as the use of the Internet and other online services increases.  In addition, new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies are expected to result in additional competition.

USA Video may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any inability to do so could decrease its revenues, contribute to the Company not achieving profitability and adversely affect is ability to establish, maintain and increase its market share.

THE MARKET FOR USA VIDEO'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS RELATIVELY NEW AND IS EVOLVING, AND THE COMPANY'S SUCCESS WILL DEPEND ON ITS ABILITY TO ADAPT TO CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS.

USA Video's future financial performance will depend in large part on the growth in demand for its streaming media services and products.  This market is new and emerging, is rapidly evolving, is characterized by an increasing number of market entrants and will be subject to frequent and continuing changes in customer preferences and technology.  As is typical in new and evolving markets, demand and market acceptance for the Company's products and services is subject to a high level of uncertainty.  Because the market for the Company's products is evolving, it is difficult to assess or predict with any assurance the size or growth rate, if any, of this market.  There can be no assurance that a significant market for the Company's products will develop, or that it will develop at an acceptable rate or that new competitors will not enter the market.  In addition, even if a significant market develop s for such products, there can be no assurance that the Company's products will be successful in such market.  If a significant market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or attracts new competitors, or if USA Video's products do not achieve market acceptance, the Company's business prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.







13


USA VIDEO IS SUBJECT TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, WHICH COULD RENDER THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OBSOLETE.


USA Video's future success will depend in part on its ability to offer products and services that incorporate leading technology and address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of its current and prospective customers.  The Company's market is characterized by rapidly changing and unproven technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs, emerging competition and frequent new service introductions. Future advances in technology may not be beneficial to or compatible with USA Video's business.  In addition, the Company may not be able to incorporate technological advances into its products and services in a cost-effective and timely basis.  Keeping pace with the technological advances may require substantial expenditures and lead time, particularly with respect to acquiring updated hardware and infrastructure components of its systems.  The Company may require additional financing to fund such ac quisitions.  Any such financing may not be available on commercially reasonably terms, if at all, when needed.


USA VIDEO IS DEPENDENT UPON VENDORS AND OTHER THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND WILL BE COMPETING WITH SOME OF THESE COMPANIES.


USA Video is, and will continue to be dependent on vendors and other providers to supply the hardware, software and co-location resources that comprise the Company's products and services.  The Company has no long-term or exclusive contracts or arrangements with any of these vendors or providers.  The Company cannot be certain that its current and proposed vendors and service providers will continue to do business with the Company, or that it will be able to establish relationships with new vendors and service providers, if necessary.  If the Company is unable to establish and maintain satisfactory relationships and arrangements with these third parties, the Company's business could be harmed.  In addition, USA Video will be dependent upon its third party vendors and other suppliers to adequately test their products before release, and to provide support for the products after delivery.  The failure of any of these thir d party providers to do so could have a material adverse effect on USA Video's business.


Further, USA Video currently competes with, and expects to compete with in the future, providers of some of its technology or system components.  USA Video's inability to, at the same time, effectively cooperate and compete with these companies could harm its business.


IF USA VIDEO DOES NOT CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE ITS TECHNOLOGY IN A TIMELY MANNER, ITS PRODUCTS COULD BE RENDERED OBSOLETE.


The markets for USA Video products and services are characterized by:


rapidly changing technology;


evolving industry standards;


frequent new product and service introductions; and


changing customer demands.








14


These changes and developments may render the Company's products and technologies obsolete in the future.  As a result, the Company's success depends on its ability to adapt to these changes, particularly to develop or adapt products and services or to acquire new products and services that can compete successfully.  There can be no assurance that USA Video will be successful in these efforts.


USA VIDEO'S SERVICES ARE COMPLEX AND THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PREVENT DEFECTS THAT COULD DECREASE THEIR MARKET ACCEPTANCE, RESULT IN PRODUCT LIABILITY OR HARM ITS REPUTATION.


USA Video's streaming media products services are complex, and the steps the Company takes to ensure that they are free of errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released, may not be successful. USA Video cannot guarantee that current versions or enhanced versions or its products will be free of significant software defects or bugs. Despite the Company's testing, and testing by its third-party vendors and providers, current or future products may contain serious defects.  Serious defects or errors could result in lost revenue or a delay in market acceptance of the Company's products and could seriously harm its business and operating results.  Errors in its products may be caused by defects in third-party hardware or software incorporated into its products.  If so, the Company may be unable to fix these defects without the cooperation of these third-party providers.  Be cause these defects may not be as significant to these providers as they are to USA Video, the Company may not receive the rapid co-operation that it may require.  Errors, defects or other performance problems with the Company's products could also harm its customers' businesses or result in potential product liability claims.  Even if unsuccessful, a product liability claim brought against USA Video would likely be time-consuming, costly and harmful to its reputation.  Nor can there be any assurance that the Company's product liability insurance coverage will be sufficient to satisfy any successful claim.


ANY LOSS OF THE COMPANY'S PERSONNEL OR INABILITY TO ADD NEW PERSONNEL COULD HARM THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.


USA Video's future success depends significantly on the continued services and performance of its senior management.  The Company's performance also depends on its ability to retain and motivate its other key personnel.  The loss of the services of any member of USA Video's senior management team or other key employees could cause significant disruption in the Company's business.  USA Video has no long-term employment agreements with senior management and does not currently maintain any "key person" life insurance. The Company's future success also depends on its ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, operations, sales and marketing and customer service personnel.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and USA Video may not successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel.  The failure to retain and attra ct the necessary personnel could impede the Company's future success.


BECAUSE ONE CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS FOR ALL OF USA VIDEO'S REVENUE, IF IT LOSES THE CUSTOMER, ITS REVENUE WOULD CEASE.


One customer accounted for 100% of USA Video's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The Company expects a small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of its revenue for the foreseeable future.  USA Video's inability to increase the number of its customers or the loss of any one major customer could limit the Company's ability to maintain or increase its market share, or could cause revenue to drop quickly and unexpectedly.








15


USA VIDEO'S BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF IT CANNOT PROTECT ITS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.


USA Video seeks to protect its proprietary rights through a combination of patents, trade secret and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions with employees and third parties.  Despite its efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of the Company's products or obtain and use information that it considers as proprietary.  Litigation may be necessary to enforce USA Video's intellectual property rights, to protect its trade secrets and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others.  Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources with no assurance of success and could seriously harm USA Video's business and operating results.


USA VIDEO’S LAWSUIT AGAINST MOVIELINK MAY RESULT IN A JUDGMENT AGAINST USA VIDEO IF IT IS NOT SUCCESSFUL IN ITS MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION


The U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled in favour of Movielink, LLC on USA’s lawsuit that alleged that Movielink, a Delaware company, has infringed and continues to infringe on its patented online movie delivery system.  The decisions was based on the Court’s conclusion that the record contained insufficient evidence that the Movielink system “initiates connections” (a requirement for infringement of the Company’s patent) in light of the Court’s construction of the term “initiates.”  USA Video filed a motion for reconsideration on February 11, 2005, asking the Court to reconsider its ruling on that point, to decide the remaining aspects of the claim construction and the other pending motions, and to permit USA Video’s case to proceed to trial.  Movielink filed its opposition to the Company’s motion for the reconsideration on F ebruary 28, 2005.  The parties are presently awaiting the Court’s decision.


If USA Video were to lose its motion for the reconsideration, the litigation would be concluded in the District Court.  In that event, and unless the decision were appealed successfully by USA Video, USA Video would be liable for Movielink’s “costs” under the Federal Rules of Evidence (including such items as deposition transcription costs, but not attorneys’ fees), which could involve a loss in excess of $5,000.  Additionally, Movielink has signaled its intention to argue that USA Video initiated and has maintained the litigation in bad faith.  In the event that Movielink were to prevail on such an argument, USA Video could be exposed to a judgment for Movielink’s attorney’s fees – an amount which USA Video’s legal counsel is not in a position to estimate but which certainly would exceed $5,000.


THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT USA VIDEO’S PATENTS WON’T BE CHALLENGED, INVALIDATED OR CIRCUMVENTED


There can be no assurance that USA Video's current or future patents, if any, will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that any rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to the Company.  In addition, there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from pending applications, or that claims allowed on any future patents will be sufficiently broad to protect USA Video's technology.  In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not permit the protection of USA Video's proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.  USA Video intends to enforce its proprietary rights through the use of licensing agreements and, when necessary, litigation.  Although USA Video believes the protection afforded by its patents, patent applications, and trademarks has value, the rapidly changing technology in the video transmission industry makes the Company's future success d ependent primarily on the innovative skills, technological expertise, and management abilities of its employees rather than on patent and trademark protection.








16


USA VIDEO'S PRODUCTS MAY INFRINGE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS, CAUSING IT TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS OR PREVENT IT FROM LICENSING ITS PRODUCTS.


Other companies, including USA Video's competitors, may have or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with the Company's ability to make, use or license its products.  The Company cannot be certain that its products do not and will not infringe patents or other proprietary rights of others.  USA Video may be subject to legal proceedings, including claims of alleged infringement by it of the intellectual property rights of third parties.  If a successful claim of infringement is brought against USA Video and it fails to or is unable to license the infringed technology on commercially reasonable terms, the Company's business and operating results could be significantly harmed.  Companies in the technology market are increasingly bringing suits alleging infringement of their proprietary rights, particularly patent rights.  Although USA Video is not currently subject to any litiga tion or claims, any future claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources with no assurance of success.  Intellectual property litigation or claims could force USA Video to do one or more of the following:


cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;


obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all; or


redesign its products or services.


If USA Video is forced to take any of these actions, its business could be substantially harmed.


USA VIDEO'S SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE CONTINUED GROWTH IN DEMAND FOR E-BUSINESS APPLICATIONS.


USA Video's primary business strategy involves the development of products and services that enable users to transmit video over the Internet.  As a result, its future sales and any future profits will be substantially dependent upon the widespread acceptance and use of the Internet as an effective medium of business by consumers and businesses.  To be successful, consumers and businesses that historically have used traditional means of commerce to transact business must continue to accept and utilize the Internet as a medium for conducting business and exchanging information.  Consumers and businesses may reject the Internet as a viable commercial medium for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate network infrastructure, slow development of enabling technologies, insufficient commercial support and privacy concerns.  In addition, delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet activity or increased government regulation could cause the Internet to lose its viability as a commercial medium.  If the demand for e-business applications does not grow or grows more slowly than expected, demand for USA Video's products and services would be reduced and its revenue would suffer.


GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES COULD ADD ADDITIONAL COSTS AND RISKS TO DOING BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET AND COULD HARM THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.


USA Video is not currently subject to direct regulation by any governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally, export control laws and laws or regulations directly applicable to electronic commerce.  However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet covering issues such as: user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, and characteristics and quality of products and services.








17


Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies conducting business online.  The adoption of additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet or other online services, which could, in turn, decrease the demand for the Company's products and services and increase its cost of doing business.


The applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, export or import matters, obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain.  The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related technologies.  As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies.  Changes to such laws intended to address these issues, including some recently proposed changes, could create uncertainty in the Internet marketplace.  Such uncertainty could reduce demand for the Company's products and services or increase the cost of doing business due to increased costs of litigation or increased service delivery costs.


THE COMPANY'S SHARE PRICE HAS BEEN AND COULD BE HIGHLY VOLATILE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO INVESTORS.


The trading price of the Company's common shares has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors including: variations in quarterly operating results; new products or services offered by the Company or its competitors; conditions or trends in the  Internet and online commerce industries; changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other Internet and online service companies; and other events or factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control.  In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, including large price drops in 2003, 2002 and 2001, that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies.  These broad market and industry factors may materially a dversely affect the market price of the Company's common shares, regardless of the Company's actual operating performance.  In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against such companies.  Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.


ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN USA VIDEO'S CHARTER DOCUMENTS COULD PREVENT OR DELAY A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY.


USA Video's Articles of Continuance and bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that could discourage, delay or even prevent an acquisition of the Company at a premium price or at all.  Any of these provisions might prevent the market price of the USA Video common shares from increasing in response to takeover attempts, and could prevent the Company's shareholders from realizing a premium over the then-prevailing market price for the common shares.


USA VIDEO INTENDS TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL EQUITY SECURITIES, WHICH MAY DILUTE THE INTERESTS OF CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS OR CARRY RIGHTS OR PREFERENCES SENIOR TO THE COMMON SHARES.


USA Video intends to issue additional equity securities in order to raise working capital.  Accordingly, existing shareholders may experience additional dilution of their percentage ownership interest in the Company.  In addition, the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of the Company's common shares.








18


LIMITED LIABILITY OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY DISCOURAGE SHAREHOLDERS FROM BRINGING A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM.


USA Video's bylaws contain provisions that limit the liability of directors for monetary damages and provide for indemnification of officers and directors.  These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against officers and directors for breaches of fiduciary duty and may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors even though such action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the shareholders.  In addition, a shareholder's investment in USA Video may be adversely affected to the extent that costs of settlement and damage awards against officers or directors are paid by USA Video pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the bylaws.


REQUIREMENTS OF THE SEC WITH REGARD TO LOW-PRICED "PENNY STOCKS" MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SHARES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.


"Penny stocks" are low-priced, and usually highly speculative, stock selling at less than $5.00 per share.  USA Video's securities are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse).  For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale.  The rule also requires the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also disclose the commissions payable for the transaction, current quotations for the stock, and, if applicable, the fact that it is the sole market maker in the stock.  Consequently, the rule may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell USA Video's securities and may adversely affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market.


USA VIDEO DOES NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.


USA Video has not paid dividends on its common shares and intends, for the foreseeable future, to invest any earnings in the further development of its business. Accordingly, shareholders should not expect to receive any dividends on their shares.


Item 2.  Properties.


USA Video headquarters and executive offices are located in Old Lyme, Connecticut. USA Video leases 1,250 square feet for an annual base rent of $17,737.  The lease expires November 30, 2005.


USA Video also leases 800 square feet of office space located in Vancouver, British Columbia, five year lease that expires March 2009, the annual base rent is $20,000.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.


On April 10, 2003, USA Video announced that its subsidiary, USA Video Technology Corporation, had filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Movielink, LLC.  USA Video alleges that Movielink, a Delaware company, has infringed and continues to infringe on its patented online movie delivery System.








19


On January 28, 2005, the Court issued an opinion and order granting summary judgment in favor of Movielink, based on the Court’s conclusion that the record contained insufficient evidence that the Movielink system “initiates connections” (a requirement for infringement of the Company’s patent) in light of the Court’s construction of the term “initiates.”  USA Video filed a motion for reconsideration on February 11, 2005, asking the Court to reconsider its ruling on that point, to decide the remaining aspects of the claim construction and the other pending motions, and to permit USA Video’s case to proceed to trial.  Movielink filed its opposition to the Company’s motion for the reconsideration on February 28, 2005.  The parties are presently awaiting the Court’s decision.


At this time, USA Video’s legal counsel is not able to conclude that it is either “probable” or “remote” (as those terms are defined in the Statement of Policy) that the Court will reconsider its January 28, 2005 summary judgment decision in favor of Movielink, and, accordingly expresses no opinion as to the outcome of this matter.


If USA Video were to lose its motion for the reconsideration, the litigation would be concluded in the District Court.  In that event, and unless the decision were appealed successfully by USA Video, USA Video would be liable for Movielink’s “costs” under the Federal Rules of Evidence (including such items as deposition transcription costs, but not attorneys’ fees), which could involve a loss in excess of $5,000.  Additionally, Movielink has signaled its intention to argue that USA Video initiated and has maintained the litigation in bad faith.  In the event that Movielink were to prevail on such an argument, USA Video could be exposed to a judgment for Movielink’s attorney’s fees – an amount which USA Video’s legal counsel is not in a position to estimate but which certainly would exceed $5,000.


The Company is party to a default judgment entered against one of the Company’s subsidiaries.  During the year ended December 31, 1995, a claim was made to the Company for the total amount payable under the terms of the lease with the Company’s subsidiaries for office space in Dallas Texas through 2002.  The Company’s management is of the opinion that the amount payable under the terms of this judgment is not estimable or determinable at this time and may be substantially mitigated by the landlord renting the property to another party.  The range of possible loss is from $-0- to approximately $500,000.  


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.


No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operation.


Overview of the Company


USA Video was a development-stage company from January 1, 1992 to December 31, 1999, during which time it engaged primarily in the development of its end-to-end hardware systems and proprietary Video-on-Demand and Wavelet compression technologies, and had very limited sales. In 2000, the Company made the first substantial sales of its end-to-end systems, and invested heavily in further development of its StreamHQ™ streaming media system.  Due to current market conditions, management has implemented consolidation procedures to reduce the expense of operations.


As more fully discussed below the Company has not been profitable, and has not had significant revenues.  USA Video cannot predict its revenue levels for the next 12 months, or thereafter, nor when, or if, its operations will become profitable.  The Company's expenses will continue to decrease as it consolidates selling, general and administrative expenses.  USA Video will require additional financing, both for the remainder of fiscal 2005 and thereafter, to continue to operate and expand its business.  There is no assurance that such financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.


Results of Operations


Revenues


Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 ("fiscal 2004") were $4,700, compared with $3,920 for the year ended December 31, 2003 ("fiscal 2003") and revenues of $156,976 for the year ended December 31, 2002 ("fiscal 2002"). All revenues for fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 were derived from the provision of engineering services.  The Company had one customer which accounted for 100% of the revenues in fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, and three major customers which, in the aggregate, accounted for 80% of the revenues in fiscal 2002.


The revenues decreased in fiscal 2004 and 2003 due to market conditions and a change in direction of the business of the Company.


Expenses


Total expenses for fiscal 2004 were $1,407,613, compared with $817,052 for fiscal 2003 and $2,156,764 for fiscal 2002.  For fiscal 2004, cost of sales was $3,379, as compared with $2,885 for fiscal 2003 and $88,377 for fiscal 2002.








22


Research and development costs for fiscal 2004 were $267,302, as compared to $66,350 for fiscal 2003 and $277,149 for 2002.  The increase in fiscal 2004 was due primarily to management’s decision to continue development of MediaSentinel™.


Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of marketing expenses, consulting fees, office, professional fees, and other expenses to execute the Company's business plan and for day-to-day operations. The substantial year-to-year increases resulted from the Company's increased efforts to bring products to market. The decreases resulted from the consolidation efforts of management. The primary components of the increases/decreases from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2003 were:


a $68,363 increase in fiscal 2004 in marketing expenses, as the Company revamped marketing objectives and strategies to concentrate on the release of MediaSentinelTM late in the third quarter of fiscal 2004.  The marketing staff continues to identify and assess appropriate market segments, develop business arrangements with prospective partners, create awareness of new products and services, and communicate to the industry and potential customers;


an increase of $8,280 from fiscal 2003 for transfer agent fees, due to an increase in stock activity; and


a $242,619 increase in professional fees in fiscal 2004 was due to the due diligence required to prepare for the  patent infringement lawsuit.


Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,071,359 for fiscal 2004, as compared to $613,750 for fiscal 2003, and $859,736 for fiscal 2002.  


Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of marketing expenses, consulting fees, office, professional fees, and other expenses to execute the Company's business plan and for day-to-day operations. The substantial year-to-year increases resulted from the Company's increased efforts to bring products to market. The decreases resulted from the consolidation efforts of management. The primary components of the increases/decreases from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2002 were:


a $41,932 decrease in fiscal 2003 in marketing expenses, as the Company terminated the day-to-day operation of it’s StreamHQ™ services, which resulted in the termination of marketing staff and programs for the sale of functions of  StreamHQ™ at the start of the second quarter of fiscal 2002.  The Company revamped marketing objectives and strategies to concentrate on the release of MediaSentinel™ late in the third quarter.  The marketing staff continues to identify and assess appropriate market segments, develop business arrangements with prospective partners, create awareness of new products and services, and communicate to the industry and potential customers;


a decrease of $57,378 and $61,597 from fiscal 2003 for consulting fees and sales expense, respectively, due to consolidation efforts of management; and


an $80,210 increase in professional fees in fiscal 2003 was due to the due diligence required to prepare for the  patent infringement lawsuit.








23


Additional expenses included depreciation and amortization of $3,323 for fiscal 2004, compared to $19,391 for fiscal 2003 and $439,516 for fiscal 2002, as the Company added machinery and equipment necessary for the development of new products and services prior to fiscal 2002.  Non-cash compensation charges for fiscal 2004 were $158,960, for fiscal 2003 were $ 14,430 and for fiscal 2002 were $38,154, due mostly to issuance of common shares and share purchase warrants to the Company's officers, directors and employees and at a price or exercise price below the market price of the common shares at the time of issuance and the issuance of stock options to contractors.  Because the rules of the TSX require that the offering price for privately placed securities of listed companies be set at the market price when the offering is first announced, rather than upon closing, the sale price of the common shares and the exercise price of the war rants were below the market price of the common shares on the date of issuance.


Other increases in expenses included utilities and telephone, travel and promotion, insurance and rent due to decision to continue development and marketing of MediaSentinel™.


Impairment Loss on Long-Lived Assets are the result of the Company’s inability to raise revenues in accordance with the corporate business plan, the Company continued operating at a loss for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002.  As a result, the Company commenced an impairment review of its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144 “Accounting of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  As a result of this impairment review, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $100,246 during fiscal 2003 and $453,832 during fiscal 2002, to reduce the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair value.


Net Losses


To date, the Company has not achieved profitability and expects to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.  The Company's net loss for fiscal 2004 was $1,403,838, compared with a net loss of $697,412 for fiscal 2003, and $2,113,138 for fiscal 2002


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At December 31, 2004, the Company's cash position was $9,341, a decrease of $43,225 from December 31, 2003.  The Company had a working capital deficit of $528,997 and an accumulated deficit of $33,277,691 at December 31, 2004.


The Company's principal source of cash during fiscal 2004 was proceeds of $1,314,607 received from private placements and the exercise of warrants of equity securities and $500 from proceeds from the sale of assets. This was offset by $1,358,332 of cash used in operating activities.


The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily by issuing equity securities to its officers, directors, employees and a small group of investors, and from short-term bridge loans from members of management.  During fiscal 2004, the Company completed two private placements, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $212,500.


The first offering completed on January 12, 2004 consisted of a private placement of 500,000 units at a price of $0.20 per unit for total proceeds of $100,000.  Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant to purchase one additional common share at $0.255 per share, exercisable until January 12, 2006.  The offer and sale of the units were exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Company limited the manner of the offering and provided disclosure regarding the offering and the Company to the investors.  Two officers and directors of the Company, one employee of the Company, one additional unaffiliated non-accredited investor, and four additional unaffiliated accredited investors purchased the securities.   The Company believes that a portion of these sales were also exempt under Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the sales were made in offshore tra nsactions to non-U.S. persons.








24


In the second offering completed on November 23, 2004 the Company completed an offering of 750,000 units at a price of $0.15 per unit for total proceeds of $112,500.  Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant to acquire one additional share at $0.185 per share, exercisable on or before November 23, 2006.  The offer and sale of the units were exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Company limited the manner of the offering and provided disclosure regarding the offering and the Company to the investors.  One officer and director of the Company, one employee of the Company, three additional unaffiliated non-accredited investors, and eight additional unaffiliated accredited investors purchased the securities.   The Company believes that a portion of these sales were also exempt under Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the sales were made in off shore transactions to non-U.S. persons.  


The Company also received proceeds of $1,102,107 from the exercise of outstanding warrants in fiscal 2004.


Subsequent to the year end, the Company completed on February 24, 2005 a private placement of 1,500,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit for total proceeds of $150,000.  Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant to purchase one additional common share at $0.13 per share, exercisable until February 24, 2007.  The offer and sale of the units were exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.  The Company limited the manner of the offering and provided disclosure regarding the offering and the Company to the investors.  One director of the Company, four employees of the Company and three additional unaffiliated non-accredited investors and six unaffiliated accredited investors purchased the securities.   The Company believes that a portion of these sales were also exempt under Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the sales were made in offshore trans actions to non-U.S. persons.


The Company's independent accountants, in their report accompanying the Company's audited financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2004, have stated that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $9,341 in cash. The Company will require an additional $1.0 million to $1.5 million to finance operations for the fiscal 2005 and intends to obtain such financing through sales of its equity securities.  The threat to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern will be removed only when revenues have reached a level that sustains the Company's business operations.


Assuming the aforementioned $1.0 million to $1.5 million in financing is obtained, continuing operations for the longer-term will be supported through anticipated growth in revenues and through additional sales of the Company's securities.  Although longer-term financing requirements may vary depending upon the Company's sales performance, management expects that the Company will require additional financing of $2.0 million to $3.0 million for fiscal 2006.  The Company has no binding commitments or arrangements for additional financing, and there is no assurance that management will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.


Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.


USA Video believes its exposure to overall foreign currency risk is not material.  USA Video does not manage or maintain market risk sensitive instruments for trading or other purposes and is not exposed to the effects of interest rate fluctuations as it does not carry any long-term debt.


USA Video reports its operations in US dollars and its currency exposure, although considered by USA Video as immaterial, is primarily between the US and Canadian dollars.  Exposure to other currency risks is also not material as international transactions are settled in US dollars.  Any future financing undertaken by USA Video will be denominated in US dollars.  As USA Video increases its marketing efforts, the related expenses will be primarily in US dollars.  In addition, 90% of USA Video's bank deposits are maintained in U.S. dollars.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As of December 31, 2004, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures.  Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that the Company designed to ensure that it records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely manner the information it must disclose in reports that it files with or submits to the SEC.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated in this evaluation.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Because the rules of the TSX require that the offering price for privately placed securities of listed companies be set when the offering is first announced rather than upon closing, the sale price of the units and the exercise price of the warrants were below the market price of $0.46 of the common shares on the date of issuance. Units were sold to the following officers and directors of the Company, in the amounts indicated: Edwin Molina (25,000 units) and Anton J. Drescher (25,000 units).

Because the rules of the TSX require that the offering price for privately placed securities of listed companies be set when the offering is first announced rather than upon closing, the sale price of the units and the exercise price of the warrants were below the market price of $0.21 of the common shares on the date of issuance. Units were sold to the following officers and directors of the Company, in the amounts indicated: Edwin Molina (-0- units) and Anton J. Drescher (40,000 units).

Because the rules of the TSX require that the offering price for privately placed securities of listed companies be set when the offering is first announced rather than upon closing, the sale price of the units and the exercise price of the warrants were below the market price of $0.12 of the common shares on the date of issuance. Units were sold to the following officers and directors of the Company, in the amounts indicated: Edwin Molina (-0- units) and Anton J. Drescher (50,000 units).

The following table presents fees for the professional audit services rendered by Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and fees billed for other services rendered by Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP during those periods.

(1)

Audit-related fees consist of assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Company's financial statements. The category includes fees related to the performance of audits and attest services not required by statute or regulation, audits of the Company's benefit plans, due diligence related to acquisitions, agreed-upon procedures, and accounting consultations regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principals to proposed transactions.








33


 (2)

Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional service rendered by Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning (domestic and international).


(3)

Other fees consist primarily of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP related to a business continuity engagement.


The Audit Committee reviews all audit and non-audit related fees at least annually.  The Audit Committee pre-approved all audit and non-audit related services in fiscal 2004.  The Audit Committee had concluded that the provision of the non-audit services listed above is compatible with maintaining the independence of Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP.


Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP has a continuing relationship with American Express Tax and Business Services Inc. (TBS) from which it leases auditing staff who are full time, permanent employees of TBS and through which its partners provide non-audit services.  As a result of this arrangement, Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP has no full time employees and therefore, none of the audit services performed were provided by permanent full-time employees of Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP.  Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP manages and supervises the audit and audit staff, and is exclusively responsible for the opinion rendered in connection with its examination.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





To the Board of Directors

USA Video Interactive Corp.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of USA Video Interactive Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 USA Video Interactive Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has not generated significant revenue from operations and has a net working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BUSINESS:

USA Video Interactive Corp. (the "Company") is a designer of high-tech Internet streaming video-on-demand systems, services and solutions.  At December 31, 2004 and for the three-year period then ended, substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all its operations are located and conducted in the United States.

  2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses of $1,403,838, $697,412 and $2,113,138 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  In addition, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $529,000 and a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $467,000 at December 31, 2004. These conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations as they come due, which management believes it will be able to do.  To date, the Company has funded operations primarily through the issu ance of common stock and warrants to outside investors and to the Company's management.  The Company believes that its operations will generate additional funds and that additional funding from outside investors and the Company's management will continue to be available to the Company when needed.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Deferred rent represents payments made to a landlord at the inception of the lease.  The amount is being amortized over the term of the lease (5 years). Amortization expense through December 31, 2004 amounted to approximately $5,000.

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.  Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related lease, whichever is shorter.

Other assets consist of patents and patents pending owned by the Company for the Store and Forward Video System.  The patents and patents pending are recorded at cost and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 17 years.

At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the period of amortization of intangible assets.  The factors used in evaluating the period of amortization include:  (i) current operating results, (ii) projected future operating results, and (iii) other material factors that affect the continuity of the business.

Revenue from hardware product sales is recognized when the product has been shipped and the collection of payment is reasonably assured.  Revenue recognized from these sales is net of applicable provisions for refunds, discounts and allowances.  Engineering services sales are recognized upon the service having been provided.

Revenue from software sales is recognized when the product has been delivered. Revenue from multiple element contracts (hardware, software and engineering) is allocated to the various elements based on fair value.  If objective evidence of fair value is not available, revenue from these contracts is deferred until the earlier of when objective evidence of fair value does exist or all elements of the contract have been delivered.  Discounts will be applied to each element on a proportionate basis.  No portion of the revenue will be recognized if the portion of the revenue allocable to delivered elements is subject to forfeiture, refund or other concession.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company has elected to apply APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB Opinion No. 25"), and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at the grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 would have been as follows:

Certain options were granted to key employees and consultants at option prices below market price. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense has been recorded based on the difference between the option price and the market price on the date of the option. The total amount of such compensation for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $53,000, $-0- and $38,000, respectively.

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss carry forwards measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The Company periodically evaluates the reliability of its net deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period.  The aggregate effect of translation adjustments is immaterial at December 31, 2004 and 2003.


Basic loss per common share ("EPS") is computed as net loss divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the impact of common stock potentially issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants.  Potential common stock amounts of approximately 10,407,000, 17,431,000 and 21,800,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share Based Payments" (“SFAS 123(R)").  SAFS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.  SFAS 123(R) is effective for the beginning of the 3rd Quarter of the Company's 2005 fiscal year.  The new standard allows for two transition alternatives, either the modified-prospective method or the modified retrospective method.  The Company has not completed its evaluation of SFAS 123(R) and therefore has not selected a transition method or determined the impact that adoption SFAS 123(R) will have on its results of operations.


Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company leases its office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, expiring in November 2005. The minimum rental commitment of this lease is approximately $16,000. Rent expense amounted to $44,975, $42,215 and $56,535 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

On April 10, 2003, the Company announced that a subsidiary had filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Movielink, LLC.  The Company alleges that Movielink, a Delaware company, has infringed and continues to infringe on the Company’s patented online movie delivery System.

On January 28, 2005, the Court issued an opinion and order granting summary judgment in favor of Movielink, based on the Court’s conclusion that the record contained insufficient evidence that the Movielink system “initiates connections” (a requirement for infringement of the Company’s patent) in light of the Court’s construction of the term “initiates.”  The Company filed a motion for reconsideration on February 11, 2005, asking the Court to reconsider its ruling on that point, to decide the remaining aspects of the claim construction and the other pending motions, and to permit the Company’s case to proceed to trial.  Movielink filed its opposition to the Company’s motion for the reconsideration on February 28, 2005.  The parties are presently awaiting the Court’s decision.

USA VIDEO INTERACTIVE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

At this time, Company counsel is not able to conclude that it is either “probable” or “remote” (as those terms are defined in the Statement of Policy) that the Court will reconsider its January 28, 2005 summary judgment decision in favor of Movielink, and, accordingly expresses no opinion as to the outcome of this matter.

If the Company were to lose its motion for the reconsideration, the litigation would be concluded in the District Court.  In that event, and unless the decision were appealed successfully by the Company, the Company would be liable for Movielink’s “costs” under the Federal Rules of Evidence (including such items as deposition transcription costs, but not attorneys’ fees), which could involve a loss in excess of $5,000.  Additionally, Movielink has signaled its intention to argue that the Company initiated and has maintained the litigation in bad faith. In the event that Movielink were to prevail on such an argument, the Company could be exposed to a judgment for Movielink’s attorney’s fees – an amount which the Company’s counsel is not in a position to estimate but which certainly would exceed $5,000.

The Company is party to a default judgment entered against one of the Company's subsidiaries.  During the year ended December 31, 1995, a claim was made against the Company for the total amount payable under the terms of a lease with one of the Company's subsidiaries for office space in Dallas, Texas through  2002.  The Company's management is of the opinion that the amount payable under the terms of this judgment is not estimable or determinable at this time and may be substantially mitigated by the landlord’s renting the property to another party.  The range of possible loss is from $-0- to approximately $500,000.  Any settlement resulting from the resolution of this contingency will be accounted for in the period of settlement when such amounts are estimable or determinable.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK WARRANTS:

The Company has a stock option plan under which options to purchase shares of common stock may be granted to certain officers, directors and service providers.  


In June 2001, the Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Plan"). The 2001 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 8,400,000 of the Company's common shares, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX") and is subject to a limitation on the number of options a company may have. The 2001 Plan provides for the issuance of both incentive stock options and nonqualified options as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  The Company's previous option plan will remain in effect until all granted stock options are exercised, expired or canceled.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:


Due to related parties at December 31, 2004 and 2003 of $160 and $3,121, respectively, primarily consist of advances made from officers of the Company that accrue interest at 1.25% per month and amounts due to directors for services which are non-interest bearing and are due on demand.  The estimated fair value of the amounts payable approximates the carrying amount based on rates available for similar loans.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS :

As the result of the Company’s inability to raise revenues in accordance with the corporate business plan, the company continued operating at a loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.  As a result, the Company commenced an impairment review of its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (‘SFAS”) 144 “Accounting of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  As a result of this impairment review, the Company recorded impairment losses of approximately $100,000 and $454,000, respectively to reduce the carrying value of these assets to its estimated fair value.
