4. Senior Notes

In April 1998, the Company completed a $160.0 million debt financing (the
"Senior Notes") consisting of 160,000 units, each unit consisting of a note in
the principal amount of one thousand dollars and one warrant to purchase 14.08
shares of common stock (total of 2,252,800 shares of common stock) at a purchase
price of $3.51 per share. The Senior Notes mature on May 1, 2005. Interest on
the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 13.0% per annum and is payable
semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing
November 1, 1998. Globix deposited $57.0 million with an escrow agent at
closing, which amount, with interest is sufficient to pay, when due, the first
six interest payments under the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are
collateralized by a first priority security interest in the escrow account. The
Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in
right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated
indebtedness. In connection with the warrants issued with the Senior Notes, the
Company has assigned an original issue discount of approximately $2.3 million.
In addition, the Company incurred costs associated with the offering of
approximately $6.6 million. These amounts are being amortized over seven years
using the effective interest method. (Also see Note 10)

5. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

During November, 1999 the Company designated 250,000 shares of its 500,000
shares of authorized Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, as Series A. At December
31, 1999 there were 80,000 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding and 170,000
Series A Preferred shares reserved in connection with the issuance of the Series
A Preferred Stock.

On December 3, 1999 the Company issued $80.0 million (80,000 shares) in new
Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock")
to affiliates of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated ("Hicks Muse") to expand
the build-out of its SuperPOPs and other facilities. The Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible into common stock at $10.00 per share at any time and may
not be called for redemption by the Company for five years. Under the agreement,
the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption in 2014 and
yields an annual dividend rate of 7.5% payable quarterly in cash or additional
Series A Preferred Stock at the option of the Company. The holders of the Series
A Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and are
entitled to cumulative dividends.

      The Series A Preferred Stock is recorded in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet outside the stockholders equity section due to its mandatory
redemption feature. The Company incurred approximately $4.25 million of issuance
costs in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock transaction. Such costs
have been recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the Series A
Preferred Stock and are being accreted through a charge to additional paid in
capital over the period to the earliest redemption date which is five years. At
December 31, 1999 the Company accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock
in the amount of $0.46 million.

7. Comprehensive Loss

The Company reports comprehensive loss under the provisions of SFAS No. 130.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is reported as a component of stockholders
equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company primarily has two
components of comprehensive loss, cumulative translation adjustments from the
Company's operations in foreign countries and unrealized gains and losses on
marketable securities classified as available for sale.

The components of other comprehensive loss were as follows:

8. Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing
net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted
loss per share has not been presented since the inclusion of outstanding stock
options and warrants would be antidilutive.

9. Stock Splits

On December 10, 1999 the Company announced a two-for-one stock split of its
outstanding shares of common stock which was paid on December 30, 1999. On
January 10, 2000, the Company announced an additional two-for-one stock split of
its outstanding shares of common stock, payable on January 31, 2000.
Stockholders' equity has been restated to give retroactive recognition to both
stock splits for all periods presented in the accompanying financial statements
by reclassifying from additional paid-in-capital to common stock the par value
of the additional shares arising from the splits. In addition all references to
number of shares, per share amounts and stock option data have been restated to
reflect the stock splits.

10. Subsequent Events

On January 28, 2000, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement
to sell $600.0 million 12.5% senior notes due 2010 in a private placement to a
group of initial purchasers.

On January 28, 2000, the Company also announced that it intends to commence a
tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 13% senior
notes due 2005, $160.0 million in principal amount. The purchase price in the
tender offer will be 106.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest. In connection with the offering of 12.5% senior notes, the Company has
received the consent of the beneficial holders of a majority of the outstanding
13% senior notes. In addition, these beneficial holders have agreed to
irrevocably instruct any parties through which they hold their beneficial
interests to provide their consent to the execution and delivery of a
supplemental indenture reflecting these amendments to the indenture. The Company
will commence the tender offer only if it receives a supplemental indenture
executed by the trustee. The closing of the tender is conditioned upon the
closing of the offering for the 12.5% senior notes. The tender and related
redemption of the outstanding 13% senior notes is expected to result in a one
time charge to earnings of approximately $17.6 million which will be recorded as
an extraordinary item in the statement of operations during the fiscal second
quarter of 2000.

On February 8, 1999 the Company closed on its offering for $600.0 million 12.5%
senior notes due 2010 resulting in net proceeds of approximately $582.0 million.

Overview

Globix was founded in 1989 as a value-added reseller, primarily focused on
providing custom computer hardware and software solutions for desktop
publishing. By 1995, Globix recognized the growing demand by businesses for
electronic information delivery and began to re-shape its corporate strategy to
focus on offering Internet products and services. In early 1996, Globix raised
net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million through an initial public offering of
its common stock and subsequently, began to offer Internet access products and
services to business customers. In 1997, Globix expanded its product and service
offerings beyond Internet access and began to offer a range of end-to-end
Internet solutions designed to enable its customers to more effectively
capitalize on the Internet as a business tool.

In 1998, Globix undertook a major expansion plan in order to more aggressively
pursue opportunities resulting from the tremendous growth of the Internet. In
April 1998, Globix completed a $160.0 million debt financing to fund the
expansion of its physical facilities and the acquisition and build-out of its
network backbone. Globix has completed construction of the new state-of-the-art
SuperPOP facilities in New York City, London and Santa Clara, CA and has begun
operations at each facility. The addition of these new SuperPOP facilities
increased Globix's total Internet Data Center capacity to approximately 63,000
square feet.

In March 1999, Globix completed a public offering of 16,000,000 shares of its
common stock, resulting in proceeds to Globix, after expenses, of approximately
$136.6 million. In December 1999, Globix completed the private placement of
80,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to affiliates of Hicks, Muse, Tate &
Furst Incorporated, resulting in net proceeds of $76.0 million. The proceeds
from those offerings are being used to fund the continued expansion of Globix's
network and for general corporate purposes.


                                       9.

Globix reports its results of operations in two operating segments: (i) the
"Internet Division" and (ii) the "Server Sales and Integration Division." The
Internet Division provides dedicated Internet access, hosting, co-location,
application services (such as streaming media, electronic commerce, and
collaborative and messaging solutions) and solutions architecture and system
administration. The Server Sales and Integration Division provides
Internet-related hardware and software sales and systems and network
integration. Revenue from the Internet Division has grown significantly as a
percentage of total revenue from 6% in 1996 to over 39% in 1999. Globix expects
that the Internet Division revenues will continue to grow as a percentage of
total revenues.

Globix continues to derive a portion of its total revenues from sales of
third-party hardware and software, including workstation web and database
servers, network equipment, and server and application software. Globix intends
to continue to offer higher-margin workstation, server and software components
as a complement to its Internet solutions. Globix maintains a limited inventory
of hardware and software and typically purchases such products from third-party
vendors only after receipt of a customer order. The second largest component of
Globix's total revenues is derived from providing dedicated Internet access
services to business customers. Globix's Internet access customers typically
sign one or two-year contracts that provide for fixed, monthly-recurring service
fees and a one-time installation fee. Globix also derives revenues from hosting
and co-location services based upon its customers' bandwidth requirements,
including charges for fixed amounts of bandwidth availability and incremental
fees for additional bandwidth use. In addition to fees based on bandwidth,
Globix charges its co-location customer's monthly fees for the use of its
physical facilities. Globix's hosting and co-location contracts typically range
from one to two years. Application services are charged on a monthly fixed price
or time and materials basis.

Cost of revenues for the Server Sales and Integration Division consists
primarily of acquisition costs of third-party hardware and software. Cost of
revenues for the Internet Division consists primarily of telecommunications
costs for Internet access, hosting and co-location customers and direct labor
costs for, application services. Telecommunications costs include the cost of
providing local telephone lines into the Globix SuperPOP, costs related to the
use of third-party networks, and costs associated with leased data lines. Cost
of revenues for application services includes the cost of project management,
quality control and project review.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales and
marketing personnel and related occupancy costs; advertising costs; salaries and
occupancy costs for executives, financial and administrative personnel; and
personnel recruitment and related operating expenses associated with network
operations, customer service and field services. Globix has recently hired a
number of members of its senior management. Globix is in the process of hiring a
significant number of additional personnel to staff its three new SuperPOP
facilities and to expand its sales and marketing, network operations, customer
service and field services personnel. Accordingly, Globix expects selling,
general and administrative expenses to continue to significantly increase for
the foreseeable future.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased significantly due to the
expansion of the SuperPOP facilities. Globix depreciates its capital assets on a
straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets, ranging from 5 to 40
years. Globix began to recognize depreciation expense in the year ended
September 30, 1999 for its new SuperPOP in New York, London and Santa Clara,
California upon commencement of operations at each of these facilities. In
addition, Globix amortizes debt discount and issuance costs associated with its
debt offerings over the life of those obligations using the effective interest
method.

Globix historically has experienced negative cash flow from operations and has
incurred net losses. Globix's ability to generate positive cash flow from
operations and achieve profitability is dependent upon Globix's ability to
continue to grow its revenue base and achieve further operating efficiencies.
For the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 Globix generated negative
cash flows from operations of approximately $20.0 million and $7.9 million,
respectively, and incurred net losses of approximately $20.8 million and $7.8
million, respectively. Globix expects to continue to experience negative cash
flow from operations and to incur net losses as a result of its significant
investment in the expansion of its internet data center facilities, the
expansion of its network backbone, the hiring of additional personnel and the
interest expense related to its debt financing activities. As of December 31,
1999, Globix had an accumulated deficit of approximately $80.4 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1999 increased
172% to $16.2 million from $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31,
1998. Revenues from the Server Sales and Integration Division for the three
months ended December 31, 1999 increased 152% to $9.2 million from $3.7 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Revenues from the Internet
Division increased 205% to $7.0 million for the three months ended December 31,
1999 from $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998. This
increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of our available data
center space, increased marketing efforts and our addition of new sales and
technical staff. The increase in percentage of Internet Division revenues as a
percentage of total revenues reflected the Company's continued shift in product
mix toward Internet related sales.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1999 were $19.7 million or 122%
of total revenues as compared to $5.6 million or 93.9% of total revenues for the
three months ended December 31, 1998. This increase in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in
employees and marketing costs. The number of full time employees increased from
211 as of December 31, 1998 to over 520 as of December 31, 1999. Salaries and
benefit costs increased from $3.1 million for the three months ended December
31, 1998 to $10.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999. In
addition, the Company increased expenditures in advertising from $1.1 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1998 to $3.3 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1999.

INTEREST AND FINANCING EXPENSE AND INTEREST INCOME. The increase in interest
expense to $5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999 from $4.9
million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 is a result of increased
debt financing and related costs. The Company is amortizing debt discount and
issuance costs of $8.9 million relating to the $160.0 million debt financing
over seven years using the effective interest method. The increase in interest
income to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999 reflects the
increased cash position derived from the net proceeds of the March 1999 equity
financing and the December 1999 issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased to $3.3
million for the three months ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $0.5 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily related
to property and equipment purchased for use in the Internet Division.

NET LOSS AND LOSS PER SHARE. As a result of the above, the Company reported a
net loss of $20.8 million and a $21.3 million loss attributable to common
stockholders or $0.64 per share for the three months ended December 31, 1999 as
compared to a net loss of $7.8 million or $0.47 per share for the three months
ended December 31, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Globix has historically had losses from operations, which have been funded
primarily through borrowings, including capital lease financing from vendors and
financial institutions, and through the issuance of debt and equity securities.
In fiscal 1999, we received net proceeds of approximately $136.6 million from
equity financings.

On December 3, 1999 Globix issued $80.0 million in new Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock to affiliates of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated ("Hicks
Muse") to expand our build-out of SuperPOPs and other facilities. The preferred
stock is convertible into common stock at any time and cannot be called for
redemption for five years. Under the agreement, the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption in 2014 and yields an annual
dividend rate of 7.5% payable quarterly in cash or additional preferred stock at
the option of Globix.


                                      11.
<PAGE>

On January 28, 2000, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement
to sell $600.0 million 12.5% senior notes due 2010 in a private placement to a
group of initial purchasers.

On January 28, 2000, the Company also announced that it intends to commence a
tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 13% senior
notes due 2005, $160.0 million in principal amount. The purchase price in the
tender offer will be 106.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest. In connection with the offering of 12.5% senior notes, the Company has
received the consent of the beneficial holders of a majority of the outstanding
13% senior notes. In addition, these beneficial holders have agreed to
irrevocably instruct any parties through which they hold their beneficial
interests to provide their consent to the execution and delivery of a
supplemental indenture reflecting these amendments to the indenture. The Company
will commence the tender offer only if it receives a supplemental indenture
executed by the trustee. The closing of the tender is conditioned upon the
closing of the offering for the 12.5% senior notes. On February 8, 1999 the
Company closed on its offering for $600.0 million 12.5% senior notes due 2010
resulting in net proceeds of approximately $582.0 million.

Conversion to the Euro

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union
established a fixed conversion rate between their existing sovereign currencies
and a new currency called the "Euro." These countries have agreed to adopt the
Euro as their common legal currency on that date. The Euro trades on currency
exchanges and is available for non-cash transactions. Thereafter and until
January 1, 2002, the existing sovereign currencies will remain legal tender in
these countries. On January 1, 2002, the Euro is scheduled to replace the
sovereign legal currencies of these countries.

Globix does not anticipate that the implementation of the Euro will have a
material adverse effect on its business operations as the operations of Globix
expands into other European countries. However there are no assurances that the
implementation of the Euro will not have a material adverse affect on Globix's
business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Globix
cannot predict the impact the Euro will have on currency exchange rates or
Globix's currency exchange risk.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Globix believes it has limited exposure to financial market risks, including
changes in interest rates. The fair value of our investment portfolio or related
income would not be significantly impacted by a 100 basis point increase or
decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the major
portion of our investment portfolio. An increase or decrease in interest rates
would not significantly increase or decrease interest expense on debt
obligations due to the fixed nature of our debt obligations.

At December 31, 1999, we had financial instruments consisting of fixed rate
debt, marketable securities and other investments. The majority of our debt
obligations consist of the Senior Notes, which bear interest at 13% and mature
May 1, 2005.

Marketable securities include Globix's strategic investment in Edgar On-Line, a
publicly traded entity, which is recorded at its fair market value. Globix does
not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in the value of its equity securities.

Our other investments are generally fixed rate investment grade and government
securities denominated in U.S. dollars. At December 31, 1999, all of our
investments are due to mature within twelve months except $32.2 million and the
carrying value of such investments approximates fair value. At December 31,
1999, $37.7 million of our cash, restricted cash and investments were restricted
in accordance with the terms of our financing arrangements.

We actively monitor the capital and investing markets in analyzing our capital
raising and investing decisions.

Globix is also subject to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange
rates. Globix's current business plan includes the expansion of the U.K.
operation and further construction of facilities in Europe in fiscal year 2000.
To date, Globix has not utilized financial instruments to minimize its exposure
to foreign currency fluctuations. Globix will continue to analyze risk
management strategies to minimize foreign currency exchange risk in the future.
