                              Primix Solutions Inc.
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  ( Unaudited )


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 and would impact future
results of operations and cash flows.

         The results of operations for the reported 1999 periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the entire year ending
December 31, 1999.

2.       ACQUISITION OF ADVIS, INC.

         On December 31, 1998, the Company acquired Advis, Inc., a privately
held Boston based e-Business consulting company, which augmented the depth and
breadth of the Company's capabilities in developing highly advanced systems
architectures that support e-Business solutions.

         The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations".
Accordingly, the operating results of Advis, Inc. are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 1999. The excess purchase
price over the net assets acquired of $2.2 million has been recorded as goodwill
and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

3.       RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Certain prior and current year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation. The unaudited data below is shown for
informational purposes only and is prepared on a basis consistent with the
current year presentation of the income statement:

4.       COMPUTATION OF BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

         In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic net loss
per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares
outstanding, with no consideration given for any potentially dilutive
securities. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share
because the inclusion of common stock issuable pursuant to stock options and
warrants (number of antidilutive shares were 1,152,000 and 2,240,000 at June 30,
1998 and 1999, respectively) would be antidilutive.

5.       OTHER ASSETS

         In March 1999, the Company issued two separate promissory notes, each
in the amount of $75,000, to two employees of the Company. The promissory notes
are due on December 31, 2001 and bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum.

6.       CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

         The Company classifies all short-term, highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. Marketable
securities consist of marketable financial instruments with original maturities
greater than 90 days. The Company has established guidelines relative to
concentration, maturities, and credit ratings that maintain safety and
liquidity.

         In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No.
115"), the Company has classified its investments in marketable securities as
"Held-to-Maturity" Securities. Accordingly, marketable securities at June 30,
1999 are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates market. The Company had
no investments in marketable securities at December 31, 1998.

7.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting of
Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income refers to the change in an entity's
equity during a period, exclusive of investment by and distributions to owners.
Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income items.
The Company has no other comprehensive income items as defined in SFAS No. 130
and, therefore, net income is equal to comprehensive income and no other
additional disclosure is required.

8.        SEGMENT REPORTING

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS No. 131 establishes standards
for the way that public business enterprises report information and operating
segments in annual and interim financial statements and requires that
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in financial
reports issued to stockholders. The Company adopted this statement in the year
ended December 31, 1998. Based on a review of SFAS No. 131, the Company believes
that it currently operates in one segment.

9.        NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The
statement is effective for the year ended December 31, 2000. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. The
Company does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial position or result of operations.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

         The following information should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto contained herein and the risk factors
contained in the section entitled "Certain Factors That May Affect Future
Results" on page 17 of the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such
a difference are discussed in the section entitled "Certain Factors That May
Affect Future Results" below.

OVERVIEW

         Primix Solutions Inc. ("Primix" or the "Company") historically has
helped organizations build applications that integrate and extend disparate
information systems. Late in the first quarter of 1998, the Company unified
its software products and consulting services business units into a single
consulting services organization focused on delivering "e-Business" solutions
on a fixed-price/fixed-time basis. On December 31, 1998, Primix acquired
Advis, Inc. ("Advis"), a privately held e-Business consulting company. During
the first quarter of 1999, the Company added to its management team
executives with experience in cross-media brand development, Web site design,
and strategic and business process consulting. Primix is a strategic Internet
services firm that brings management consulting insight, creative talent and
systems integration skills to companies, helping deliver business results
using e-Business methods and technologies.

         As a result of the Company's significant transition during 1998,
management cannot currently anticipate future revenue levels. However,
management does anticipate incurring significant expenses as the Company
continues to grow its sales, creative, strategy and consulting staffs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUE

         Total revenue increased $1.5 million to $2.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $1.1 million for the comparable quarter in 1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, total revenue increased $2.4 million to
$4.5 million from $2.1 million for the comparable prior year period.
Professional services revenue increased $1.6 million to $2.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 from $964,000 for the comparable quarter in
1998 as a result of an increase in the number of consulting engagements serviced
during the second quarter of 1999 relative to the second quarter of 1998.
Professional services revenue increased $2.6 million to $4.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $1.9 million for the comparable period in 1998
as a result of an increase in the number of consulting engagements serviced
during the first six months of 1999 relative to the first six months of 1998.
Additionally, software license and maintenance revenue decreased to $0 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 from $85,000 for the comparable quarter in
1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, software license and maintenance
revenue decreased to $0 from $179,000 for the comparable period in 1998. These
decreases are due to the fact that the Company ceased marketing its software
products in 1998.


PROFESSIONAL SERVICES


         The cost of professional services consists primarily of salaries and
related costs for professional services personnel and fees to third party
consultants. Professional services expenses increased to $2.2 million, or 85%
of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $1.0 million,
or 96% of total revenue, for the comparable prior year period. For the six
months ended June 30, 1999, professional services expenses increased to $3.6
million, or 80% of total revenue, from $1.9 million, or 89% of total revenue,
for the comparable prior year period. The absolute dollar increase for the
three and six month periods is primarily due to increased headcount and an
increased usage of third party consultants. Professional services headcount
increased 138% from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999, with 46% of this increase
due to the Advis December 1998 acquisition. The Company expects professional
services expenses to increase during the remainder of 1999 as the Company
seeks to hire additional professional services personnel.

SALES AND MARKETING


         Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits
for sales and marketing personnel and costs for advertising and marketing. Sales
and marketing expenses increased to $790,000, or 31% of total revenue, for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 from $390,000, or 37% of total revenue, for the
comparable prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, sales and
marketing expenses increased to $1.3 million, or 29% of total revenue, from
$699,000, or 33% of total revenue, for the comparable prior year period. The
absolute dollar increase for the three and six month periods is primarily due to
increased headcount in sales and marketing, commissions as a result of higher
revenue levels, travel costs, and increases in sales and marketing programs.
Sales and marketing headcount increased 75% from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999.
The increased headcount in sales is attributable to the Advis December 1998
acquisition. The Company expects sales and marketing expenses to increase during
1999 as the Company seeks to hire additional sales and marketing personnel.


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE


         General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries
and benefits for executive, finance, information technology, human resource
and administrative personnel, rent expense, depreciation expense,
professional fees, recruiting costs, and system support costs. General and
administrative expenses increased to $1.3 million, or 51% of total revenue,
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $1.2 million, or 116% of total
revenue, for the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended June
30, 1999, general and administrative expenses increased to $2.4 million, or
54% of total revenue, from $2.2 million, or 106% of total revenue, for the
comparable prior year period. The absolute dollar decrease in the current
quarter over the prior year is primarily due to decreased professional fees
offset by increased headcount-related costs. General and admistrative
headcount increased 20% from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999. The Company
expects general and administrative expenses to increase during the remainder
of 1999 to support the Company's expanding business.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT


         For the six months ended June 30, 1999, research and development
expenses decreased to $0 from $295,000 for the comparable prior year period. The
decrease is attributable to the discontinuance of the Company's software product
development.


AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL

         Amortization of goodwill of $55,000 and $109,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, is attributable to the Advis December
1998 acquisition. The excess purchase price over the net assets acquired of $2.2
million was recorded as goodwill in December 1998 and is being amortized over
its estimated useful life of 10 years, beginning January 1, 1999.

INTEREST INCOME, NET

         Interest income, net decreased to $278,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 from $425,000 for the comparable prior year period. For the six
months ended June 30, 1999, interest income, net decreased to $576,000 from
$864,000 for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in interest income
is primarily the result of a decline in the average combined daily balances of
the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's operating activities utilized approximately $2.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, resulting primarily from the net loss
and the growth in accounts receivable.

         The Company's investing activities, which primarily consisted of net
purchases of short-term marketable securities, utilized approximately $8.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.


                                       10

<PAGE>


         The Company's financing activities, which mainly consisted of payment
of the note payable to a related party and payment of the capital lease
obligations, utilized approximately $255,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999.

         In March 1999, the Company issued two separate promissory notes, each
in the amount of $75,000 to two employees of the Company. The promissory notes
are due on December 31, 2001 and bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum.

         The Company currently anticipates that the existing cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities balances will be sufficient to meet its
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least
the next twelve months. Thereafter, the Company may need to raise additional
funds. The Company may in the future seek to expand its business through
possible acquisitions. The Company, however, has no commitments or agreements
with respect to any future acquisition and no assurances can be given with
respect to the likelihood or financial or business effect of any future
acquisition. Future acquisitions could be financed by internally generated
funds, bank borrowings, public offerings or private placements of equity or debt
securities, or a combination of the foregoing. There can be no assurance that
additional financing will be available when needed on terms favorable to the
Company or at all.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

         The following statements under this section include "Year 2000
readiness disclosure" within the meaning of the Year 2000 Information and
Readiness Disclosure Act.

         Historically, certain computer programs have been written using two
digits rather than four digits, to identify the applicable year. This could
lead, in many cases, to a computer's recognition of a date using "00" as 1900
rather than the year 2000. This phenomenon could result in significant computer
system failures or miscalculations, and is generally referred to as the "Year
2000" problem or issue.

         The Company is currently in the process of assessing its exposure from
the Year 2000 problem, and has established a response to that exposure.
Generally, the Company has Year 2000 exposure in the following areas: (i)
financial and management operating computer systems used to manage the Company's
business, (ii) microprocessors and other equipment used by the Company
("embedded chips") and (iii) computer systems used by third parties; in
particular financial institutions, vendors and suppliers of the Company.

         As of December 31, 1998, the Company completed an inventory of its
financial and management operating systems and made a preliminary determination
of which programs were or were not Year 2000 compliant. Prior to September 30,
1999, the Company intends to test each significant program which is believed to
be Year 2000 compliant and to remediate all significant programs that are not
Year 2000 compliant. In some cases, Year 2000 issues will be corrected in the
development of new programs, which enhance or provide new functionality to these
financial and management operating systems. While the Company has not undertaken
any independent verification and review, the Company estimates that the
incremental cost of this remediation effort should not exceed $30,000, including
capital cost for new computers and related equipment. This amount does not
include costs for computer software developed in order to provide or improve
functionality. The Company expects to substantially complete Year 2000 testing
and remediation on its financial and management operating systems by September
30, 1999.

         The Company has begun an inventory and assessment of its exposure to
embedded chips in its facilities or equipment used in those facilities and
capability of the vendors of such equipment to successfully remediate Year 2000
problems in equipment with embedded chips.

         The Company began in the fourth quarter of 1998 to interview third
parties, vendors and suppliers of the Company to determine their exposure to
Year 2000 issues, their anticipated risks and responses to those risks.

         If the Company is unsuccessful in completing remediation of
non-compliant systems, correcting embedded chips and vendors or suppliers cannot
rectify Year 2000 issues, the Company could incur additional costs. The cost to
develop alternative methods of managing its business and replacing non-compliant
equipment may be substantial. The Company is in the process of establishing a
contingency plan in the event of noncompliance by its vendors and suppliers and
expects to complete this contingency plan by September 30, 1999.

         The preceding "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" contains various
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. These
forward-looking statements represent the Company's beliefs or expectations
regarding future events. When used in the "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure," the
words "believes," "expects," "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, the Company's expectations as to when it will complete the
modification and testing phases of its Year 2000 project plan as well as its
Year 2000 contingency plans; and its estimated cost of achieving Year 2000
readiness. All forward-looking statements involve a


                                       11

<PAGE>


number of risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from the projected results. Factors that may cause these differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability of qualified personnel and
other information technology resources; the ability to identify and remediate
all date sensitive lines of computer code or to replace embedded computer chips
in affected systems or equipment; and the actions of governmental agencies or
other third parties with respect to Year 2000 problems.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

         Statements made or incorporated into this Form 10-Q include a number of
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward
looking statements include, without limitation, statements containing the words
"anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "future," and words of similar
import which express management's beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding
the Company's future performance. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from its historical results and from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements and may fluctuate between operating periods. Factors
that might cause such differences and fluctuations include the following: the
success of the Company's new business strategy, the Company's ability to
efficiently consolidate the operations of its newly acquired subsidiary, Advis,
Inc., the Company's ability to attract, train and retain qualified strategic,
creative and technical personnel, the Company's ability to retain its sales and
consulting staffs, the Company's ability to close sales, risks related to the
management of growth, development and promotional expenses related to the
introduction of new service offerings, changes in technology and industry
standards, limited operating history, changes in the market for the Company's
services, the rate of acceptance of the Company's services, dependence of the
Company's business on the Internet, increased competition, changing of pricing
policies by the Company or its competitors, the timing of receipt of orders from
major customers, development of Internet and Intranet products or enhancements
by vendors of existing client/server or legacy software systems that compete
with the Company's consulting services, dependence on key personnel, proprietary
technology and the inherent difficulties in protecting intellectual property,
dependence on third-party technology, and exposure for product and professional
services liability. The market price of the Company's Common Stock has been, and
in the future will likely be, subject to significant fluctuations in response to
variations in quarterly operating results and other factors, such as
announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its
competitors, or other events.




ITEM 3.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company owns financial instruments that are sensitive to market
risks as part of its investment portfolio. The investment portfolio is used to
preserve the Company's capital until it is required to fund operations. All of
these market-risk sensitive instruments are classified as held-to-maturity and
are not held for trading purposes. The Company does not own derivative financial
instruments in its investment portfolio. The investment portfolio contains
instruments that are subject to the risk of a decline in interest rates.

         INTEREST RATE RISK. The Company's investment portfolio includes
investment grade debt instruments. These bonds are subject to interest rate
risk, and could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate. Due to the short
duration and conservative nature of these instruments, the Company does not
believe that it has a material exposure to interest rate risk.
