                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     You should read the following summary together with the more detailed
information regarding our company and the common stock being sold in this
offering and our financial statements and notes to those statements appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus. References in this prospectus to "Quokka," "Quokka
Sports," "our company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Quokka Sports, Inc.

                              QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.

     Quokka Sports has pioneered a distinctive new style of global sports
entertainment programming that uses the digital information sharing and
communications power of the Internet. Our programming is designed to provide a
compelling sports entertainment experience by allowing viewers to choose from a
variety of perspectives, information and action sequences. Our coverage of
sporting events incorporates, where available, video, text, audio, images,
athlete vital signs, locational and directional data, environmental data,
e-mails, results and timing data collected at the sports venue and from other
sources. We call these materials used in our programming "digital media assets."
Our programming can be accessed over the Internet at www.quokka.com and may be
delivered to viewers over other interactive systems that transmit digitized
data, such as cable and satellite systems, in the future. We believe new
interactive technologies provide exciting opportunities for making
information-intensive programming also entertaining. With distinctive content
designed to build on this opportunity, we believe we are positioned to become a
leading provider of digital sports entertainment addressing the entertainment
passions of a global community of sports enthusiasts.

     We are creating an interactive digital sports network that offers a variety
of sports entertainment programming. To deliver our sports entertainment
programming over the Internet and other interactive systems, we have developed
and continue to enhance proprietary technology that we call our Quokka Sports
Platform. In developing our programming calendar, we currently target sports
events that are generally long in duration and rich in the materials or digital
media assets we seek to incorporate in our programming. We also usually target
sports events that have a global audience and involve continuous action with
multiple simultaneous activities. We have selected the Olympics, motor racing,
sailing and adventure sports as the first four channels of our network.

     We generate revenues primarily through the sale of sponsorships. Sponsors
pay us for the right to be named as the exclusive sponsor of our network within
a particular industry category. Sponsors also secure the opportunity to embed
and promote their products in our digital programming. Our sponsors in the
technology and communication industries also have the opportunity to showcase
the technological capabilities of their products and services in the production
of our distinctive programming. Additionally, we believe we deliver a global
audience that has demographic qualities desired by sponsors and advertisers.

     Our first digital sports program was the 1997-98 Whitbread Round The World
Race, a 32,000 nautical mile, around-the-world sailing race featuring an
international field of competitors. Our coverage attracted more than 1.8 million
unique users from 177 countries, more than half of whom accessed our Whitbread
Web site from outside the United States. "Unique user" is an industry term used
to describe an individual who has visited a particular Internet site once or
more. According to a Quokka-conducted survey, visitors to the Whitbread site
were primarily between 25 and 34 years old and had an average annual household
income of $75,000. Additionally, according to this survey, 64% of the visitors
to the Whitbread site were college educated and 63% held professional, executive
or technical positions. Based on these demographic characteristics, we believe
the visitors to the Whitbread site represented an attractive, targeted audience
for sponsors and advertisers. These users spent an average of approximately 9.9
minutes per visit at the site. This compares favorably to an average of 5.8
minutes per visit at other leading sports-related Web sites, according to our
estimates based on Media Metrix statistics. We generated $9.4 million of
revenues from sponsorships related to the Whitbread race.

     In February 1999, we established a joint venture with NBC Olympics, Inc. to
develop interactive digital coverage of the Olympics through August 2004. In
March 1999, through a joint venture with Forsythe Racing, Inc., we acquired
digital rights to cover Championship Auto Racing Teams events through 2003.
Additionally, in March 1999, we acquired digital rights to cover FIM 500cc Road
Racing World Championship motorcycle races through 2003. In May 1999, we
acquired digital rights to cover the America's Cup Match yacht race in 2000. Our
rights to cover each of these events, including the Olympics, are subject to
limitations as described in the "Business" section of this prospectus. We began
coverage of the nine-month Around Alone sailing race in September 1998. We
covered the 14th Marathon des Sables desert footrace and are also covering
Quokka-originated, adventure sports events as part of our adventure sports
channel.

     As of March 31, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $23.9 million.

     In August 1996, we adopted our current business model and incorporated in
Delaware under the name Quokka Productions, Inc. Shortly thereafter, in
September 1996, we changed our name to Quokka Sports, Inc. Prior to August 1996,
we operated as an Australian software development and consulting company, Ozware
Developments Unit Trust, an Australian unit trust. Our main offices are located
at 525 Brannan Street, San Francisco, California 94107, and our phone number is
(415) 908-3800. Our primary Web site is located at www.quokka.com. Information
contained on our Web site does not constitute part of this prospectus.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     In May and June 1999, we completed the private sale of 4,522,223 shares of
our Series D preferred stock at $9.00 per share for $40.7 million to the
following strategic and financial investors:

<TABLE>
<S>                                            <C>

  - Liberty QS, Inc.                           - MeriTech Capital Partners L.P.
  - Hearst Communications, Inc.                - Pivotal Partners, L.P.
  - Comcast Interactive Investments, Inc.      - Crossover Fund II, L.P.
  - AtHome Corporation                         - British Telecom (Netherlands) Holdings B.V.
</TABLE>

We intend to work closely with our strategic investors to develop new channels
of distribution, digital sports entertainment programming and related products.

     Our revenues increased from $2.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998 to an estimated $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
During the three months ended June 30, 1999, we recognized revenues primarily
from our recent digital entertainment sponsorship agreements. Our revenues were
$900,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

     Our expenses increased from $4.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998 to an estimated $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Our expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were $8.5 million.
Estimated expenses increased due to an increase in marketing expenses associated
with the launch of www.quokka.com, an increase in research and engineering costs
associated with our broadband trials and other engineering initiatives and an
increase in production costs resulting from the launch of our www.quokka.com
network and costs associated with the development of our planned initial
coverage of FIM 500cc Road Racing World Championship motorcycle races, the
Olympics and the America's Cup Match yacht race.

     Our net loss increased from $1.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998 to an estimated $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $7.8 million.

     Our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 1999 have not yet
been completed and accordingly information regarding this period is preliminary
and subject to change. Additionally, the operating results for the June 1999
quarter or any other quarter are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for any future period.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an
investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the
only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also could harm our business.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could suffer and the
trading price of our common stock could decline.

     This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. The outcome of the
events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks and you
should not put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. When used in
this prospectus, the words "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan"
and "expect" and similar expressions as they relate to us are included to
identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially
from those discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this
prospectus. This section and the sections entitled "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business"
contain a discussion of some of the factors that could contribute to those
differences.

                        RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES, EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES FOR AT LEAST THE
NEXT EIGHT QUARTERS AND MAY BE UNABLE TO ACHIEVE OR SUSTAIN PROFITABILITY OR
GENERATE POSITIVE CASH FLOW

     We expect to incur losses for at least the next eight quarters, largely due
to substantial planned increases in marketing expenses and expenses associated
with our digital sports entertainment programming. We may be unable to generate
sufficient revenues or control operating expenses to achieve or sustain
profitability or generate positive cash flow. We adopted our current business
model in August 1996 and began generating revenues in connection with this model
during the first quarter of 1997. As of March 31, 1999, we had an accumulated
deficit of $23.9 million. Our net operating losses were $4.9 million for 1997,
$9.5 million for 1998 and $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999. Cash used in operating activities was $3.9 million for 1997, $10.9 million
for 1998 and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY UPON WHICH YOU CAN EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS AND
PROSPECTS

     Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business
and prospects. As a digital sports entertainment company in an early stage of
development, we face significant risks, uncertainties, expenses and
difficulties. In order to succeed, we must do most, if not all, of the
following:

     - develop programming to attract and retain our audience;

     - secure and retain additional sponsors and advertisers;

     - acquire rights on commercially feasible terms to cover additional
       sporting events;

     - develop, enhance and carefully manage our brand;

     - deliver multiple programming events simultaneously to one or more global
       distribution networks;

     - promote our name in the sports and media markets;

     - respond appropriately to competitive developments;

     - develop and implement a successful electronic commerce strategy;

     - develop a successful line of product merchandise;

     - secure additional distribution systems for our content;

     - continue to develop and improve our know-how, to enhance our Web sites to
       meet the needs of a changing market and to adapt to changing technology;

                                        5
<PAGE>   11

     - successfully execute our business and marketing strategies; and

     - attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

Our business operations and revenues will suffer if we are unable to accomplish
these things.

OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS ARE EXPECTED TO FLUCTUATE AND OUR FAILURE TO
MEET EARNINGS ESTIMATES COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO SUFFER

     Our quarterly operating results have varied in the past, and we expect them
to fluctuate in future periods. For example, our revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 were $900,000 compared to revenues of $4.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. These fluctuations depend on a number of
factors described below and elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" section of the
prospectus, many of which are outside our control. We may be unable to predict
our future revenues accurately or adjust spending in a timely manner to
compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Any significant shortfall of
revenues would have a negative impact on our results of operations. For these
and other reasons, we may not meet the earnings estimates of securities analysts
or investors and our stock price could suffer. Our revenues in any quarter
depend on the sports programming we offer, the sponsorship arrangements we have
in place at that time and finalize during the quarter and, to a lesser extent,
the advertising and electronic commerce transactions we execute. We expect that
our electronic commerce revenues will be higher leading up to and during our
major sports programming. It is likely that sponsorship deals will have a long
sales cycle and may be unevenly distributed across fiscal quarters. We expect
our expenses to increase over time for production and other operational costs.
The timing of these expenses, as well as our obligations under existing and
future contracts, could fluctuate from quarter to quarter and intensify leading
up to and during significant sporting events such as the Olympic Games.

WE NEED TO ACQUIRE RIGHTS TO KEY SPORTING EVENTS TO DEVELOP MORE PROGRAMMING AND
GROW OUR BUSINESS, BUT THE COST AND COMPETITION FOR THESE RIGHTS COULD PREVENT
US FROM DOING SO

     We need to acquire rights to key sporting events to succeed. If we are
unable to acquire these rights, our ability to broaden our programming and grow
our business will be limited. Our limited operating history makes it difficult
to assess our ability to acquire rights in the future. Holders of rights may not
be willing to enter into strategic relationships with us or sell rights to us at
prices we can afford, or at all. We expect the cost of acquiring rights to
increase significantly as competition for these rights increases. We may not be
successful in acquiring the rights we need, especially if third parties, such as
traditional media companies, which have significantly greater resources,
experience and bargaining leverage than we do, compete for those rights.

OUR LIMITED EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING AND COORDINATING A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMMING
SCHEDULE COULD RESULT IN DELAYS OR SETBACKS THAT REDUCE THE APPEAL OF OUR WEB
SITES

     We have limited experience developing and coordinating a comprehensive
programming schedule and may experience delays or setbacks that reduce the
appeal of our Web sites. The programming we have developed required
significantly fewer resources and technical skills than the major sports
programming we are scheduled to produce, including the Olympic Games and
coverage of motor sports. Our programming may not keep pace with technological
developments, evolving industry standards or competing programming alternatives.
We have not developed multiple large-scale programming events simultaneously and
may lack the financial and technical resources to develop content for multiple
simultaneous sporting events. Even if the resources are available, we may be
unable to coordinate a comprehensive programming schedule. To be successful, we
will need to staff and operate 24-hour production facilities that are capable of
collecting, repackaging and distributing digital coverage to a global audience.

                                        6
<PAGE>   12

IF OUR AUDIENCE DOES NOT LIKE OUR WEB SITES OR THE INTERACTIVE NATURE OF OUR
PROGRAMMING WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN SPONSORS

     It is difficult to predict whether our audience will like the layout and
design of our Web sites or adapt to the interactive nature of our programming.
If our layout and design are not user-friendly in the eyes of a wide and diverse
audience, we will not be successful in attracting repeat users and our revenue
could decline. Additionally, the nature of our programming requires our audience
to actively navigate through multiple pages to experience the depth of coverage.
Sports fans who are accustomed to passive listening or viewing sports coverage
provided by traditional media may not be willing to participate in the
interactive nature of sports entertainment on our Web sites. Our audience could
reduce its viewing of our existing programming due to dissatisfaction with our
programming or greater satisfaction with programming developed by one or more of
our competitors. Additionally, the number of sporting events covered on various
media may saturate the market and reduce the likelihood a sports fan would
select our Web site. If the size of our audience or the duration of visits to
our sites decreases or fails to grow as expected, we may be unable to achieve
the audience exposure we have committed and will commit to provide to our
sponsors, which could result in lost sponsorship revenues. For example,
sponsorship revenues could be affected if audience interest in the Olympic Games
is reduced as a result of recent scandals involving the International Olympic
Committee.

OUR SPONSORSHIP MODEL IS UNPROVEN AND OUR REVENUES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
WILL SUFFER IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR EXISTING SPONSORS AND SECURE
ADDITIONAL SPONSORSHIPS

     Our revenues and results of operations will suffer if we are unable to
maintain our existing sponsors and secure additional sponsors. Our revenue model
is primarily based on securing long-term digital entertainment sponsorships that
provide each sponsor with the right to be named as the exclusive sponsor of our
network within a particular industry category. We have limited experience with
this sponsorship model and to date have entered into digital entertainment
sponsorships only with Compaq Computer Corporation and Computer Associates
International, Inc. Prospective sponsors may not be interested in entering into
these digital entertainment sponsorships at the rates we set, if at all.

     Additionally, our sponsorship agreements typically require the delivery of
a specified number of brand impressions, which refers to the number of times the
sponsor's brand appears on a user's screen while the user is connected to our
Web sites. Our fulfillment of these commitments assumes that we will be able to
deliver these brand impressions on sports programming that we acquire or create.
Owners of rights to sporting events often have pre-arranged sponsor lists they
require us to honor. Pre-existing sponsorship relationships may prevent us from
meeting the minimum commitments we have to our exclusive digital entertainment
sponsors and could cause us to allocate impressions to our sponsors that were
otherwise available for additional revenue generating purposes. These
pre-existing sponsorship relationships could also negatively affect our business
by limiting our ability to attract new sponsors. We might acquire or create
additional programming that would allow us to provide our sponsors with
sufficient brand impressions for which we would incur additional expenses.

WE DEPEND ON A SMALL NUMBER OF SPONSORS, THE LOSS OF WHICH COULD HARM OUR
REVENUES

     To date, we have depended on a limited number of sponsors for a majority of
our revenues. In 1998, two sponsors accounted for 68% of our revenues.

     We anticipate that our results of operations will depend to a significant
extent upon revenues from a small number of digital entertainment sponsors. The
loss of one or more digital entertainment sponsors could negatively affect our
business. Although we seek to enter into multi-year agreements with our digital
entertainment sponsors, we cannot guarantee that these sponsors will maintain
their association with us.

                                        7
<PAGE>   13

A DISASTER OR MALFUNCTION THAT DISABLES OUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS COULD HARM OUR WEB
SITES AND REDUCE THE APPEAL OF OUR PROGRAMMING

     Substantially all of our communications hardware and computer hardware
operations are located in our facilities in San Francisco, California and at
Frontier GlobalCenter in Sunnyvale, California, where our Web sites are hosted.
Our operations depend on our ability to protect these systems against damage
from fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and
similar events. Additionally, computer viruses, electronic break-ins or other
similar disruptive problems could harm our Web sites. A disaster or malfunction
that disables either our San Francisco production facility or our Sunnyvale
hosting services could cause an interruption in the production and distribution
of our programming, limit the quantity or timeliness of updates to our
productions or limit the speed at which our audience can access our content. Any
of these occurrences could reduce the appeal of our programming. Our insurance
policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that may occur due to
any failures or interruptions in our systems. We do not presently have a formal
disaster recovery plan.

     Our Web sites have experienced significant increases in traffic during
coverage of some sporting events. As we deliver additional programming, we
expect our audience base to increase significantly. This will require our Web
sites to accommodate a high volume of traffic and deliver frequently updated
information. Failure of our systems to accommodate higher volumes of traffic
could reduce the performance and appeal of our Web sites and harm our results of
operations. Our Web sites in the past have experienced slower response times or
other problems for a variety of reasons, including delays or malfunctions as a
result of third-party distributors on which we rely.

OUR BRAND MAY NOT ACHIEVE THE BROAD RECOGNITION NECESSARY TO SUCCEED

     We believe that broad recognition and a favorable audience perception of
the Quokka brand will be essential to our success. If our brand does not achieve
favorable broad recognition, our success will be limited. We intend to build
traffic and brand recognition by aggressively marketing www.quokka.com as the
first interactive network that offers sports programming that brings the
audience closer to the athlete's perspective. We plan to market www.quokka.com
through an extensive traditional media campaign employing advertising on
television, printed publications, outdoor signage and radio. We also plan to
conduct a simultaneous online advertising campaign and to seek exposure through
our co-branded initiatives. During 1998, we spent $554,000 for advertising. We
expect to significantly increase our advertising expenses in future periods as
we build the Quokka brand and awareness of our programming. We may lack the
resources necessary to accomplish these initiatives. Even if the resources are
available, we cannot be certain that our brand enhancement strategy will deliver
the brand recognition and favorable audience perception that we seek. If our
strategy is unsuccessful, these expenses may never be recovered and we may be
unable to increase future revenues. Even if we achieve greater recognition of
our brand, competitors with greater resources or a more recognizable brand could
reduce our market share of the emerging digital sports entertainment market.

THE LOSS OF ANY STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEDIA ENTITIES AND SPORTS GOVERNING
BODIES COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE BREADTH OF OUR SPORTS PROGRAMMING AND OUR
ABILITY TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS TO COVER SPORTS OR SECURE SPONSORSHIPS

     We depend on agreements with certain established media entities and sports
governing bodies, such as NBC Olympics, Inc. and Championship Auto Racing Teams,
Inc. The loss of any of these strategic relationships could impact the breadth
of our sports programming and affect our ability to acquire additional rights or
secure sponsorships. Our agreements with these parties enable development of
certain Olympic and motor sports programming. Additionally, these strategic
relationships, among others, provide us with credibility in the marketplace to
negotiate sponsorships and acquire rights to cover additional sports. While
these strategic relationships are grounded in contractual agreements, these
parties can terminate the agreements for various reasons, including contractual
breaches and a change in control of our company. For example, NBC Olympics, Inc.
can terminate its strategic relationship with us if a competitor of NBC acquires
us. We cannot guarantee that our strategic partners will perform their
                                        8
<PAGE>   14

contractual obligations. Even if the contracts run for the full term, we may not
be able to renew the agreements on comparable terms, if at all. For a more
detailed discussion of the terms of some of our strategic relationships, see
"Business -- Joint Ventures and Rights Agreements."

FAILURE BY THIRD PARTIES ON WHOM WE DEPEND FOR INTERNET ACCESS, DELIVERY OF OUR
PROGRAMMING AND GENERATION OF MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS COULD HARM OUR OPERATIONS
AND REVENUES

     Our audience depends on Internet service providers, online service
providers and other Web site operators for access to our Web sites. Many of them
have experienced significant outages in the past, and could experience outages,
delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems.
Access by our audience outside the United States could also be delayed or
interrupted due to the uncertainty of the telecommunications infrastructure in
foreign countries.

     We depend on various domestic and international third parties for software,
systems and delivery of much of our programming. Many of these third parties
have limited operating histories, early generation technology and are themselves
dependent on reliable delivery from others. Any delays or malfunctions in the
distribution of our content would limit our ability to deliver our programming.
We also depend on Frontier GlobalCenter in Sunnyvale, California, which hosts
our Web sites. If the Frontier GlobalCenter hosting facility is disabled or
malfunctions, access to our Web sites would be limited or eliminated.

     Our plans to generate multiple revenue streams also depend on third
parties. In particular, we depend on encryption technology provided by others to
enable secure electronic commerce transactions. In addition, our ability to
obtain sponsorship and advertising interest will depend on whether third parties
we hire can generate meaningful and accurate data to measure the demographics of
our audience and the delivery of advertisements on our Web sites. Companies may
choose not to advertise on our Web sites or may pay less if they do not perceive
these measurements made by third parties to be reliable.

OUR SPONSORSHIP MODEL COULD PREVENT US FROM ACQUIRING CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY, WHICH
COULD AFFECT THE QUALITY OF OUR PROGRAMMING

     A significant feature of our sponsorship model is the exclusive right to be
the sole sponsor of a sponsorship category, such as computing, database
software, digital distribution, consumer electronics or wireless communications.
While we expect this exclusivity feature to be central to our marketing strategy
for securing and retaining these sponsorships, it may bind us to undesirable
sponsorship arrangements and limit our ability to acquire technology we may
otherwise want or need. Exclusive sponsors acquire multi-year rights to a
sponsorship category and sometimes provide us with equipment or technical
expertise to enable us to develop and distribute our programming. We are limited
in our ability to terminate an existing sponsor relationship if a sponsor fails
to provide us with necessary equipment and expertise, or is otherwise less
desirable than a prospective sponsor in the same sponsorship category. An
existing sponsor also may prevent us from acquiring desirable technology from
competitors of the sponsor, which could harm our programming.

OUR PROGRAMMING AND OPERATIONS WILL SUFFER IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ADAPT IN A TIMELY
MANNER TO TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS, EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS, CHANGING
MARKET CONDITIONS OR CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS

     The market for digital sports programming is characterized by rapid
technological change. To be successful, we must adapt to this rapidly changing
market by continually improving the features we offer and developing new
features. Our programming and operations will suffer if we are unable to adapt
in a timely manner in response to technological developments, evolving industry
standards, changing market conditions or customer requirements. We may not
maintain our competitive position in the digital sports entertainment market for
a number of reasons, including the following:

     - our technology infrastructure may not provide high-quality, reliable
       programming or adequately scale to support multiple simultaneous events;

                                        9
<PAGE>   15

     - we may be unable to afford substantial expenditures to adapt our service
       to changing technologies;

     - we may be unable to license leading technologies or develop new
       proprietary technologies; and

     - we may fail to use new technologies effectively or adapt to technological
       changes.

OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO MANY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH WORLDWIDE SPORTS EVENT
COVERAGE AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES, WHICH COULD PREVENT OR DELAY OUR
COVERAGE OR CAUSE US TO INCUR ADDITIONAL EXPENSES

     Our coverage of adventure sports is not limited geographically and is
therefore subject to many risks associated with worldwide sports event coverage
and other international activities that could prevent or delay our coverage. We
have developed, and expect to continue to develop, programming covering sporting
events throughout the world and across the oceans. For example, our coverage of
yachting races and of adventure sports, such as mountaineering in the Karakoram
range in China and treks across deserts in Morocco, require us to traverse
international borders. Coverage of these events requires that we deploy
production staff to locations throughout the world. Additionally, we expect to
maintain offices in several foreign countries, including Great Britain,
Switzerland and Australia. As a result, we are subject to numerous risks
associated with doing business internationally, including the following:

     - regulatory requirements, including export requirements, tariffs and other
       barriers, health and safety requirements and labor and immigration laws;

     - difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

     - differences in reliability of telecommunications infrastructure and
       Internet access;

     - varying technological standards and capabilities;

     - differences in standards of protection for intellectual property;

     - political instability;

     - hostile action against event participants or our employees;

     - currency fluctuations;

     - potentially adverse tax consequences; and

     - restrictions against the repatriation of earnings from a foreign country.

     Additionally, regional events that we choose to cover may fail to attract a
global audience. In that case, we would incur the significant expenses inherent
in the coverage of an international event without achieving the audience
exposure we have committed or may commit to provide to our sponsors.

OUR BUSINESS WILL NOT OPERATE EFFICIENTLY AND OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WILL BE
NEGATIVELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR GROWTH

     We are experiencing a period of significant expansion. We had 40 employees
at December 31, 1997, compared to 118 employees at December 31, 1998 and 186
employees at March 31, 1999. This growth is placing, and we expect any further
growth to continue to place, a significant strain on our management, operational
and financial resources. This will require us to implement additional management
information systems and to develop additional operating, administrative,
financial and accounting systems and controls. If we are unable to develop these
systems and manage our growth effectively, our business will not operate
efficiently and our results of operations could be negatively affected.

     Many of our senior management have only recently joined us. Seven of our
sixteen most senior officers have worked for us for less than one year. These
individuals have not previously worked together and are becoming integrated as a
management team. Our operations and personnel relations will suffer if our
senior management is unable to successfully manage our growth.

                                       10
<PAGE>   16

IF WE FAIL TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL WE WILL BE UNABLE TO EXECUTE OUR
BUSINESS STRATEGY

     Our success will depend on the continued services of our senior management
and other key personnel, as well as our ability to attract, train, retain and
motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing and customer
service personnel. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers,
particularly Alan Ramadan, our president and chief executive officer, or other
key employees could prevent us from executing our business strategy. Competition
for these personnel is intense, and we may not be able to successfully attract,
integrate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. Our anticipated
programming schedule in the near future will require that we attract and retain
personnel who are skilled in production, computer and other technical fields.
Skilled technical personnel are in high demand and have multiple employment
opportunities, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, where our headquarters
are located. As a matter of practice, we do not generally enter into employment
agreements with our employees.

ACCEPTANCE OF PROPERTY OR SERVICES AS PAYMENT MAY PROVIDE LESS WORKING CAPITAL
FLEXIBILITY THAN A CASH PAYMENT WOULD PROVIDE

     We have received property or services, including computer equipment,
Internet access, digital cameras and telecommunications equipment and services
as payment for our sponsorships. While these property and services allow us to
develop and distribute our programming content, they do not provide us with the
same working capital flexibility that a cash payment would provide. We expect to
reduce the amount of property and services accepted as payment in future
periods, but may not be successful in doing so.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO NEGATIVE PUBLICITY AND LIABILITY FOR ATHLETES OR OUR
EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATED WITH OUR EVENTS, WHICH WOULD DISRUPT OUR PROGRAMMING AND
REDUCE SPONSORSHIPS AND PARTICIPATION IN FUTURE EVENTS

     Many of our events, including sailing and mountain climbing, involve
significant risks to athletes and our employees that participate in or document
the events. Additionally, many of our events take place in regions of the world
where there may be increased danger of external threats such as terrorism. We
will experience adverse publicity, and may be subject to liability claims by
athletes, employees or their relatives, for injuries or deaths that occur as a
result of our events. Any incidents like this during our events could disrupt
our programming and reduce sponsorships and athlete and employee participation
in future events. Liability claims, regardless of merit, could require us to
expend significant resources. Additionally, while we obtain insurance coverage
with respect to each event based on the risks and exposure we face in that
event, our insurance coverage may be inadequate to protect us against any
claims.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OR ENFORCE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS, AND OUR EFFORTS TO DO SO COULD BE TIME-CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE AND COULD
DIVERT MANAGEMENT ATTENTION FROM EXECUTING OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

     We regard the protection of our copyrights, service marks, trademarks,
trade dress and trade secrets as critical to our success. We rely on a
combination of copyright, trademark, service mark, patent and trade secret laws
and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and
services. While we actively protect and enforce our intellectual property
rights, we may be unable to prevent others from misappropriating our technology
and may be subject to claims of infringement by others. The enforcement of our
intellectual property rights could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation and the diversion of technical and management personnel. We have
entered into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our
employees and contractors and nondisclosure agreements with parties with which
we conduct significant business to limit access to and disclosure of our
proprietary information. These contractual arrangements and the other measures
taken by us to protect our intellectual property may not prevent
misappropriation of our technology or deter independent third-party development
of similar technologies. In addition, we may need to engage in litigation to
enforce our intellectual property rights in the future or to determine the
validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This litigation could
result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources.

                                       11
<PAGE>   17

     We pursue the registration of our trademarks and service marks in the
United States and internationally. We have also filed four patent applications
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Effective trademark, service
mark, copyright, patent and trade secret protection may not be available in
every country in which our programming is accessible online. We have licensed in
the past, and expect to license in the future, some of our proprietary rights,
including trademarks or copyrighted material, to third parties. These licensees
may take actions that might adversely affect the value of our proprietary rights
or reputation. We also rely on off-the-shelf technologies that we license from
third parties. "Off-the-shelf" technology refers to generally commercially
available software that is not customized for a particular user. These
third-party licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially
reasonable terms or at all. The inability to use licensed technology important
to our business could require us to obtain substitute technology of lower
quality or performance standards or at greater cost. In the future, we may seek
to license additional technology or content to enhance our current programming
or to introduce new content. We cannot be certain that any such licenses will be
available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The loss of or inability
to obtain or maintain any of these technology licenses could result in delays in
providing our programming until equivalent technology, if available, is
identified, licensed and integrated.

     Because we license some data and content from third parties, we must rely
upon these third parties for information as to the origin and ownership of the
licensed content and our exposure to copyright infringement actions may
increase. We generally obtain representations as to the origins and ownership of
licensed content and obtain indemnification to cover any breach of any
representations. However, we cannot be certain that these representations are
accurate or that any indemnification amounts will be sufficient to provide
adequate compensation for any breach of representations.

     We cannot guarantee that infringement or other claims will not be asserted
or prosecuted against us in the future whether resulting from our internally
developed intellectual property or licenses or content from third parties. Any
future assertions or prosecutions could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel or require us to
introduce new content or trademarks, develop non-infringing technology or enter
into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing agreements, if
required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our ability to
execute on our business strategy will suffer if a successful claim of
infringement is brought against us and we are unable to introduce new content or
trademarks, develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or
similar technology on a timely basis.

PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS

     Computer systems, software packages and microprocessor dependent equipment
may cease to function or generate erroneous data when the year 2000 arrives. To
correctly identify the year 2000, a four-digit date code field will be required
to be what is commonly termed "year 2000 compliant." If systems material to our
business are not year 2000 compliant or if third parties fail to make their
systems year 2000 compliant in a timely manner, the year 2000 issue could affect
our operations. Our operations and programming may suffer if the systems we
depend on are not year 2000 compliant. The potential areas of exposure include
electronic data exchange systems operated by third parties with which we
transact business and computers, software, telephone systems and other equipment
used internally. While we have established a year 2000 compliance program, this
program may not uncover all year 2000 problems.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIABILITY FOR PUBLISHING OR DISTRIBUTING CONTENT, AND OUR
INSURANCE COVERAGE MAY BE INADEQUATE TO PROTECT US FROM THIS LIABILITY

     We may be subject to claims relating to content associated with us,
including content that may appear on our Web sites or be obtained through other
distribution channels. Although we carry general liability insurance, our
insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to
cover all costs incurred in defense of potential claims or to indemnify us for
all liability that may be imposed. These claims could take the form of lawsuits
for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement or other
theories based on the nature and content of such materials. In addition, we
could be subject to liability with respect to content that may be accessible
through our Web sites or third-party Web sites accessed from our sites.

OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION IN THE DIGITAL SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY COULD
DECLINE IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ACQUIRE BUSINESSES OR TECHNOLOGY THAT ARE STRATEGIC
FOR OUR SUCCESS OR IF WE FAIL TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE ANY ACQUISITIONS WITH
OUR CURRENT BUSINESS

     If appropriate opportunities arise, we intend to acquire businesses,
technologies, services or products that we believe are strategic for our
success. The digital sports entertainment industry is new, highly competitive
and rapidly changing. We believe these industry dynamics could result in a high
level of acquisition activity as companies seek to gain competitive advantage.
While we currently do not have any understandings, commitments or agreements
with respect to any material acquisition, competitive forces could require us to
acquire companies or technology. Our competitive position in the industry could
decline if we are unable to acquire businesses or technology that are strategic
for our success or if we fail to successfully integrate any acquisitions with
our current business. We may be unable to identify, negotiate or finance future
acquisitions successfully, or to integrate successfully any acquisitions with
our current business. The process of integrating an acquired business,
technology, service or product into our business and operations may result in
unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, including the allocation of
significant management time and company resources that would otherwise be
available for ongoing development of our business. Moreover, the anticipated
benefits of any acquisition may not be realized.

   RISKS RELATED TO THE INTERNET AND DIGITAL SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES

DELAYS IN THE ACCESSIBILITY OR GROWTH OF THE INTERNET COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
PROGRAMMING AND REDUCE THE LEVEL OF TRAFFIC ON OUR WEB SITES

     Our success will depend on the continued development and growth of the
Internet. Our programming will suffer if the necessary infrastructure, standards
or protocols or complementary products, services or facilities for the Internet
are not developed in a timely manner. While Internet technologies have been
evolving rapidly in recent years, future growth may not continue at comparable
rates. As the Internet continues to experience increased numbers of users and
increased frequency of use, the Internet infrastructure may be unable to support
the demands of a global audience or the requirements of consumers for faster
access. The Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a
result of damage to portions of its infrastructure, and it could face outages
and delays in the future. This might include outages and delays resulting from
the year 2000 problem. These outages and delays could adversely affect the level
of Internet usage as well as the level of traffic on our Web sites. In addition,
the Internet could lose its viability due to delays in the development or
adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased levels of activity
or due to regulation by governments, businesses or other organizations.

     Our programming is designed to operate on today's Internet platform as well
as other interactive systems that transmit digitized data, such as cable and
satellite systems, in the future. These future systems are commonly referred to
as "broadband" systems and are expected to enable transmission of large amounts
of digitized material, such as video clips, within a relatively short time
frame. Delays in the development of broadband systems could harm our ability to
distribute our programming through subscription services and pay-per-view
events, which could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from these
types of programming.

THE ONLINE DIGITAL SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS INTENSELY COMPETITIVE, AND
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AGAINST CURRENT AND FUTURE COMPETITORS

     The market for Internet services and products is relatively new, intensely
competitive and rapidly changing. Since the Internet's commercialization in the
early 1990's, the number of Web sites on the Internet competing for consumers'
attention and spending has proliferated. We expect that competition will
continue to intensify. We may be unable to compete successfully against current
and future competitors.

     Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly longer
operating histories, greater financial, technical and marketing resources,
greater name recognition and larger user or membership bases

                                       13
<PAGE>   19

than us and, therefore may have a significantly greater ability to attract
advertisers and users. In addition, many of these competitors may be able to
respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in Internet
user requirements and to devote greater resources to the development, promotion
and sale of their services. Our current or potential competitors may develop
products and services comparable or superior to those developed by us. Increased
competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market
share, any of which would harm our business. In addition, as we expand
internationally, we may face new competition.

     We compete, directly and indirectly, for sponsors, rights and the attention
of sports viewers with the following categories of companies:

     - Web sites targeted to sports enthusiasts generally, such as
       www.cbs.sportsline.com, www.cnnsi.com and www.espn.com, many of which
       have been established by traditional media companies, and Web sites
       targeted to enthusiasts of particular sports, such as
       www.majorleaguebaseball.com, www.nascar.com, www.nba.com, www.nfl.com and
       www.nhl.com;

     - publishers and distributors of traditional media targeted to sports
       enthusiasts, such as the ESPN networks, the FoxSports network and Sports
       Illustrated;

     - online services such as America Online and the Microsoft Network, which
       provide access to sports-related content and services;

     - vendors of sports information, merchandise, products and services
       distributed through other means, including retail stores, mail, facsimile
       and private bulletin board services; and

     - Web search and retrieval services, such as Excite, Infoseek, Lycos and
       Yahoo! and other high-traffic Web sites, such as those operated by cYnet
       and Netscape.

     We expect that the number of our direct and indirect competitors will
increase in the future. We anticipate that, as the Internet and other
interactive distribution systems converge with traditional television
broadcasting and cable, significant competition may come from the cable arena,
including such sports-oriented cable networks as the ESPN networks.

OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF SPONSORS AND
ADVERTISERS DO NOT ACCEPT THE INTERNET AS AN EFFECTIVE MEDIUM TO PROMOTE THEIR
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

     Our ability to generate sponsorship and advertising revenues will depend on
many factors, including the following:

     - the development of the Internet as an attractive medium for sponsors and
       advertisers;

     - the level of use of the Internet by consumers and the amount of traffic
       on our Web sites; and

     - our ability to achieve and measure demographic characteristics that are
       attractive to sponsors and advertisers.

     Market acceptance of the Internet as a medium for sponsorship and
advertising is highly uncertain. Most potential sponsors and advertisers have
only limited experience with the Internet as an advertising medium and have not
devoted a significant portion of their advertising expenditures to
Internet-based campaigns. Even if sponsors and advertisers are persuaded to
allocate portions of their budgets to Internet-based advertising, they may not
find the medium to be effective for promoting their products and services
relative to traditional print and broadcast media. Additionally, no standards
are widely accepted to measure the effectiveness of the Internet as a medium for
targeting consumers with particular demographics and influencing consumer
behavior. If these standards do not develop, existing sponsors or advertisers
may not continue their current level of Internet-based sponsorships or
advertising, and sponsors or advertisers who are not currently buying
sponsorships or advertising on the Internet may be reluctant to do so.

REVENUES FROM SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES MAY FAIL TO DEVELOP, WHICH WOULD HARM OUR
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     While we intend to generate revenues through subscription services that
provide access to premium content and pay-per-view events, we have no experience
in doing so and our failure to generate revenues

                                       14
<PAGE>   20

from these sources would harm our results of operations. While subscription
services are a viable business alternative to cover sporting events on
television, subscription services for our programming may not develop for a
variety of reasons. These include:

     - our failure to develop and implement a successful strategy for
       subscription services;

     - delays in the development of broadband systems that enable increased
       bandwidth for content and provide faster access for consumers;

     - consumers' unwillingness to pay for the programming offered through
       subscription services;

     - prohibitive costs of producing higher quality programming for
       subscription services; and

     - security concerns in transmitting payment information for the
       subscription services.

CHANGES IN REGULATION OF THE INTERNET COULD LIMIT OUR BUSINESS PROSPECTS

     We are subject to the same federal, state and local laws as other
businesses on the Internet. Today there are relatively few laws directed towards
online services. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the
Internet and other online services, it is possible that a number of laws and
regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet or other online
services. Changes in regulation of the Internet could affect our results of
operations. These laws and regulations could cover issues such as user privacy,
freedom of expression, pricing, fraud, content and quality of products and
services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information
security. Applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such
as property ownership, copyrights and other intellectual property issues,
taxation, libel, obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain. The vast majority
of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related
technologies and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues
of the Internet and related technologies. Those laws that do reference the
Internet, such as the recently passed Digital Millennium Copyright Act, have not
yet been interpreted by the courts and their applicability and reach are
therefore uncertain.

     Several states have also proposed legislation that would limit the uses of
personal user information gathered online or require online services to
establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade Commission has also initiated
action against at least one online service regarding the manner in which
personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties.
While we do not sell information about users on our sites, we have historically
collected demographic data about our users to assist us in marketing our
sponsorship arrangements. Changes to existing laws or the passage of new laws
intended to address these issues, including some recently proposed changes,
could directly affect the way we do business or could create uncertainty in the
marketplace.

     In addition to government regulation of the Internet, businesses and other
organizations may restrict access to the Internet at work. Many users access the
Internet through computer terminals at work, either because they do not have
access at home or because the networks at work provide faster and more reliable
access. Access at work may increase if employers upgrade their technology more
quickly than individual consumers in response to the development of broadband
solutions. In response to Internet use by employees or consultants at work,
employers may impose regulations limiting or eliminating Internet or broadband
access on their equipment. To the extent that many of our users access our Web
sites at work, our audience could diminish if businesses and other organizations
restrict Internet access at work.

OUR INTERNET ACTIVITIES MAY BECOME SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL TAXES, WHICH COULD
NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Tax authorities in a number of states are currently reviewing the
appropriate tax treatment of companies engaged in electronic commerce.
Therefore, our products and services may become subject to additional sales and
income taxes. If consumers of our products and services are required to pay
additional sales or other taxes, they could reduce their purchases, which would
negatively affect our results of operations. As our content is available over
the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, these jurisdictions may
claim that we are required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation.
We are

                                       15
<PAGE>   21

qualified to do business in six states in the United States, and qualifying in
additional states could subject us to additional taxes. Additionally, failure by
us to comply with foreign laws or to qualify as a foreign corporation in a
jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and
penalties for the failure to qualify and could result in the inability to
enforce contracts in such jurisdictions.

WE HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE GENERATING REVENUES FROM ELECTRONIC COMMERCE, AND WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A SUCCESSFUL
ELECTRONIC COMMERCE STRATEGY, DEVELOP A SUCCESSFUL LINE OF PRODUCT MERCHANDISE,
OVERCOME INTERNET SECURITY CONCERNS OR RESPOND TO COMPETITIVE PRICING

     A key component of our business model includes selling products associated
with our sports entertainment programming. We have limited experience generating
revenues from electronic commerce. If we are unable to develop and implement a
successful electronic commerce strategy, develop a successful line of product
merchandise that appeals to a broad audience, overcome Internet security
concerns or respond to competitive pricing, we may be unable to generate
revenues from electronic commerce.

     The need to securely transmit confidential information over the Internet
has been a significant barrier to electronic commerce and communications over
the Internet. Any compromise of security could deter people from using the
Internet and our Web sites to conduct transactions that involve transmitting
confidential information. We may need to expend significant resources to protect
against security breaches or to address problems caused by such breaches. Even
if we are able to overcome Internet security concerns, individuals may not buy
our products, resulting in revenues from electronic commerce that fall short of
the cost of our electronic commerce strategy. Many Internet companies engaged in
electronic commerce are losing money. Additionally, many of our current and
potential competitors may have significantly greater resources and more
favorable cost structures than we do and may be able to price comparable
products at levels we are unable to match without incurring unacceptable
operating losses.

                         RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE IS LIKELY TO BE VOLATILE, WHICH COULD HURT INVESTORS AND
EXPOSE US TO LITIGATION

     The stock markets in general, and the Nasdaq National Market and the market
for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, have experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent months. These fluctuations often
have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these
companies. These broad market and industry factors could harm the market price
of our common stock, regardless of our performance. Market fluctuations, as well
as general political and economic conditions such as a recession or interest or
currency rate fluctuations, also could harm the market price of our common
stock.

     The trading prices of many technology company stocks, particularly Internet
company stocks, have recently been at or near historical highs, reflecting
valuations substantially above historical levels. Our stock price could be
subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including
factors that may be beyond our control. These include:

     - actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

     - announcements of technological innovations or new sports entertainment
       programming by us or our competitors;

     - changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

     - conditions or trends in the Internet and online entertainment industries;

     - changes in the market valuations of other Internet companies;

     - announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions,
       strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

     - additions or departures of key personnel; and

                                       16
<PAGE>   22

     - sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or other securities in
       the open market.

     Volatility in the market price of our common stock could result in
securities class action litigation. This type of litigation could result in
substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

OUR MANAGEMENT HAS BROAD DISCRETION TO DETERMINE HOW TO USE THE FUNDS RAISED IN
THIS OFFERING AND MAY USE THEM IN WAYS THAT STOCKHOLDERS MAY NOT DEEM DESIRABLE


     We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering to meet our capital
contribution obligations to NBC/Quokka Ventures, LLC and CART Digital Media
Enterprises, LLC, to meet our obligations under current programming rights and
distribution agreements, for the repayment of indebtedness and for general
corporate purposes, including expansion of our network production operations and
our marketing campaigns. In addition, we may use a portion of the net proceeds
for the license or acquisition of additional programming and distribution
rights, creation of programming associated with these rights, establishment of
additional joint ventures and purchases of capital equipment and leasehold
improvements. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no specific plan
detailing the amount of the proceeds to be used for each of the purposes
described above and cannot specify with certainty the particular uses for the
net proceeds to be received upon completion of this offering. Our management
will have significant discretion as to the use of the net proceeds of this
offering. This could result in the proceeds being applied to uses stockholders
may not deem desirable. In addition, we cannot be certain that the proceeds
invested will yield a significant return, if any.


WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WHICH MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON
FAVORABLE TERMS AND COULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL DILUTION

     We currently anticipate that the net proceeds of this offering, together
with our available funds, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for
working capital, capital expenditures and business expansion through at least
the next 12 months. Thereafter, we will need to raise additional capital.
Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If
adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we
may not be able to fund our expansion, take advantage of unanticipated
opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. We may seek to raise
additional capital sooner than the next 12 months to fund unanticipated
opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. If additional funds are
raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the
percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced and the securities
issued may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common
stock.

SALES OF OUR SHARES AFTER THIS OFFERING COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE
OF OUR STOCK, IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL THROUGH THE SALE OF ADDITIONAL
EQUITY SECURITIES AND RESULT IN FURTHER DILUTION

     Sales of a substantial number of shares in the public market after this
offering could negatively affect the market price of our common stock and could
impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity
securities. Immediately following this offering, and based upon the number of
shares outstanding as of June 9, 1999, we will have 43,791,118 shares of common
stock outstanding assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option and no exercise of outstanding options or certain warrants after June 9,
1999. Of these shares, all of the 5,000,000 shares sold in this offering will be
freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the
Securities Act of 1933. The remaining 38,791,118 shares of common stock will be
"restricted securities" as defined by Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act
of 1933. These shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if
they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701
adopted under the Securities Act of 1933. We can not predict the effect that
future sales made under Rule 144, Rule 701 or otherwise will have on the market
price of our common stock.

     In addition, following closing of this offering we intend to register
shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted under
our stock option plans. After the effective date of such

                                       17
<PAGE>   23

registration, shares issued upon the exercise of stock options generally will be
available for sale in the public market. Our executive officers and directors
and certain stockholders beneficially owning in the aggregate 38,791,118 shares
of common stock are subject to lock-up agreements generally providing that, with
certain limited exceptions, the stockholder will not offer, sell, contract to
sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any shares of common
stock, without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith Incorporated for a period of 180 days after the first day any of the
common stock to be sold in this offering is released by the underwriters for
sale to the public. Any shares subject to these lock-up agreements may be
released at any time by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, with
or without notice. The holders of approximately 38,418,653 shares of common
stock are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to such shares.
The holders of warrants to purchase approximately 2,663,288 shares of common
stock are also entitled to certain registration rights with respect to such
shares.

OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OF OUR MANAGEMENT AND
AFFAIRS, WHICH THEY COULD EXERCISE AGAINST YOUR BEST INTEREST

     Upon completion of this offering, our executive officers, directors and
their affiliates will, in the aggregate, own approximately 38.9% of our
outstanding common stock, 38.2% if the underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full. As a result, these persons, acting together, will have the
ability to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval and to
control our management and affairs. This concentration of ownership may delay or
prevent a change in control or discourage a potential acquirer from making a
tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company, which
could decrease the market price of our common stock. Matters that would require
stockholder approval include the following:

     - election and removal of directors;

     - merger or consolidation of our company; and

     - sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

SOME ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND DELAWARE LAW MAY
DELAY OR PREVENT A TAKEOVER OF OUR COMPANY

     Some provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in
control would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our board of directors can
issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval.
The issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party
to acquire our company. These provisions could diminish the opportunities for a
stockholder to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at a price
above the then-current market value of our common stock. Additionally, certain
of our material agreements, including our agreement with NBC Olympics, Inc.,
allow the other party to terminate the agreement if a change in control occurs.
This could also have the effect of deterring a change in control.

     In addition, our charter documents provide that special meetings of
stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board of directors, our
chief executive officer, a majority of the board of directors and holders of 50%
of the outstanding capital stock. Our charter documents also provide for a
classified board of directors, require advance notice of stockholder proposals
and nominations and do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of
directors. These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to
replace current members of our board of directors and may make the acquisition
of our company by a third party more difficult.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS


     We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the 5,000,000 shares of
common stock in this offering will be approximately $54.5 million ($62.9 million
if the underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), assuming an
initial public offering price of $12.00 per share and after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $1.3
million. The principal purposes of this offering are to obtain additional
working capital.


     We currently expect to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows:

     - An estimated $20 to $25 million of the net proceeds may be used to meet
       our capital contribution obligations to NBC/Quokka Ventures, LLC and CART
       Digital Media Enterprises, LLC. The terms of the operating agreement for
       NBC/Quokka Ventures, LLC require us to make quarterly capital
       contributions in amounts necessary to fund the venture's operations on an
       ongoing basis in accordance with the annual operating plan. With respect
       to CART Digital Media Enterprises, LLC, we expect to make capital
       contributions in order to meet our 50% share of the venture's need for
       operating capital. Accordingly, the amounts and timing of these capital
       contributions to be made by us with respect to each of NBC/Quokka
       Ventures, LLC and CART Digital Media Enterprises, LLC will be based on
       the actual activities of each venture and are unknown at this time.

     - A portion of the net proceeds will be used to meet our obligations under
       current programming rights and distribution agreements. Under these
       agreements, we are required to make cash payments through 2003 totaling
       $16.3 million.

     - A portion of the net proceeds may be used for the repayment of
       indebtedness. In particular, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to
       repay approximately $646,000 of indebtedness outstanding under an
       equipment financing arrangement with a bank. The terms of this agreement
       require monthly repayments of principal and interest at 8.5% over 36
       months commencing November 1998 and terminating October 2001. In
       addition, we may also use a portion of the net proceeds to repay certain
       other outstanding long-term equipment financing arrangements of
       approximately $400,000. Terms of these agreements call for monthly
       principal and interest payments through March 2004 at approximately 9.5%
       interest.


     - The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate
       purposes, including an estimated $6 to $8 million for purchases of
       capital equipment, an estimated $11 to $13 million for leasehold
       improvements and an estimated $7 to $12 million for our expanded
       marketing campaign. Other general corporate purposes include expansion of
       our network production operations, license or acquisition of additional
       programming and distribution rights, creation of programming associated
       with these rights and establishment of additional joint ventures.


     As of the date of this prospectus, we have no specific plan detailing the
amount of the proceeds to be used for each of the purposes described above and
cannot specify with certainty the particular uses for the net proceeds to be
received upon completion of this offering. We have estimated some of our uses of
proceeds above but these estimates may not be accurate, and our actual use of
proceeds may vary from these estimates. To the extent the net proceeds from this
offering are not sufficient for the uses described above, we may use a portion
of the net proceeds from our recent private sale of Series D preferred stock for
these described uses. Our management will have broad discretion in the
application of the net proceeds. Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be
primarily invested in short-term, interest bearing obligations, investment grade
instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the
United States. For a discussion of the risks associated with management's
discretion in the application of the net proceeds, see "Risk Factors -- Our
management has broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in this
offering and may use them in ways that stockholders may not deem desirable."

                                DIVIDEND POLICY

     We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do
not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition,
the terms of our subordinated debt and equipment lease lines prohibit the
payment of cash dividends on our stock.

       preferred stock, into common stock upon the closing of this offering; and


     - on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect this conversion and the
       application of the net proceeds from the sale of the 5,000,000 shares
       offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of $12.00 per
       share, after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and estimated

- ---------------
(1) The share numbers in this table are based on shares outstanding as of March
    31, 1999. These numbers include 508,848 shares issuable upon the exercise of
    warrants outstanding as of March 31, 1999 at a weighted average per share
    price of $1.06, which will expire if not exercised prior to the closing of
    this offering, and exclude:

     - 2,391,750 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of
       March 31, 1999 at a weighted average per share price of $5.33;

     - 7,145,025 shares issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of
       March 31, 1999 at a weighted average per share price of $4.35;

     - 6,460,401 shares reserved for issuance under Quokka's 1997 Equity
       Incentive Plan;

     - 450,000 shares reserved for issuance under Quokka's 1999 Non-Employee
       Director's Stock Option Plan; and

     - 1,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under Quokka's 1999 Employee Stock
       Purchase Plan.

Under the terms of the Series D financing agreements, Quokka may issue up to an
additional 200,000 shares of Series D preferred stock or an equivalent number of
shares of common stock. See "Capitalization," and "Description of Capital Stock"
for information relating to our capital structure. Also see
"Management -- Employee Benefit Plans" for a description of the benefit plans
referred to above.

                                    DILUTION


     The pro forma net tangible book value of Quokka as of March 31, 1999 was
$59.9 million, or $1.55 per share of common stock. "Pro forma net tangible book
value per share" is determined by dividing the pro forma number of outstanding
shares of common stock (reflecting the issuance of 4,522,223 shares of Series D
preferred stock in May and June 1999 as well as assuming the conversion of all
outstanding shares of preferred stock, including the Series D preferred stock,
into shares of common stock and the exercise of certain warrants) into the net
tangible book value of Quokka (total tangible assets less total liabilities).
After giving effect to the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale
by Quokka of the 5,000,000 shares of common stock offered hereby (after
deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses), the pro
forma net tangible book value of Quokka as of March 31, 1999 would have been
approximately $114.3 million, or $2.62 per share. This represents an immediate
increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $1.07 per share to existing
stockholders and an immediate dilution of $9.38 per share to new investors
purchasing shares at the initial public offering price. The following table
illustrates the per share dilution:

</TABLE>


     The foregoing discussion and tables assume no exercise of any stock options
outstanding as of March 31, 1999. As of March 31, 1999, there were options
outstanding to purchase a total of 7,145,025 shares with a weighted average
exercise price of $4.35 per share. Additionally, the foregoing discussion and
tables assume no exercise of warrants outstanding as of March 31, 1999 to
purchase a total of 2,391,750 shares at a weighted average exercise price of
$5.33 per share. However, the discussion and tables assume the exercise of
certain warrants outstanding as of March 31, 1999 to purchase a total of 508,848
shares at a weighted average exercise price of $1.06 per share, which will
expire if not exercised prior to the closing of this offering. To the extent
that any of these warrants or options are exercised, other than the warrants
which we have assumed will be exercised, there will be further dilution to new
public investors. See "Capitalization" for information relating to our capital
structure and "Management -- Employee Benefit Plans" for a description of the
benefit plans under which the options referred to above were granted.

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

     The following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This
discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. When used in this prospectus, the words "intend," "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "plan" and "expect" and similar expressions as they
relate to us are included to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual
results could differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements as a result of certain of the risk factors set forth
below and elsewhere in this prospectus.

OVERVIEW

     Quokka Sports has pioneered a distinctive new style of global sports
entertainment programming that uses the digital information sharing and
communications power of the Internet. Our programming can be accessed over the
Internet at www.quokka.com. Our programming is designed to provide a compelling
sports entertainment experience by allowing viewers to choose from a variety of
perspectives, information and action sequences. We believe new interactive
technologies provide exciting opportunities for making information-intensive
programming also entertaining. With distinctive content designed to build on
this opportunity, we believe we are positioned to become a leading provider of
digital sports entertainment addressing the entertainment passions of a global
community of sports enthusiasts.

     In August 1996, we adopted our current business model. The primary focus of
our operating activities since August 1996 has been to develop our digital
sports entertainment network. Our network development activities have included
studio services to strategic partners, including the International Olympic
Committee, Sydney Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, News America
Digital Publishing and others. Studio services represent consulting and Web
design services.

     We generate revenues from digital entertainment sponsorships, studio
services, advertising and electronic commerce. During 1998, 81% of our revenues
came from digital entertainment sponsorships, 18% of our revenue came from
studio services, 1% of our revenues came from advertising and less than 1% of
our revenues came from electronic commerce. We derive the majority of our
revenues from the sale of sponsorship packages to corporations. In the past, we
have accepted property and services as payment for sponsorships, including
Internet access, computer equipment, digital cameras, hosting services, and
telecommunications equipment and services. Property and services received as
payment are valued at fair market value based on the amounts normally charged to
third parties for similar property and services. We intend to reduce the amount
of property and services accepted for payment in future periods, although we may
not be successful in this regard.

     Prior to 1999, our sponsorships were primarily short-term and associated
with two individual events, the Whitbread and Around Alone races. Our sponsors
typically pay fees or provide in-kind services, which we recognize as revenue
ratably over the duration of the event based upon the actual number of
impressions generated to date as compared to an estimated total number of
impressions for the entire event. Sponsors may require that we guarantee a
minimum number of impressions over the term of the event. In these instances, we
will defer a portion of the sponsorship revenues until the minimum number of
impressions has been achieved. We will also defer a portion of the revenues
until other contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the
related receivable is probable.

     In 1999, we began to configure our sponsorships as multi-year, multi-event
and multi-benefit sponsorships. These new sponsorships, which we call digital
entertainment sponsorships, may include a variety of benefits such as category
exclusivity, embedded product placement in our programming, traditional sports
sponsorship benefits and sales and marketing assistance. We plan to sell digital
entertainment sponsorships to technology and communications companies as well as
consumer retail goods and services companies. These multi-year sponsorship
agreements are expected to provide for periodic sponsorship fees that we intend
to recognize ratably as revenues over the corresponding period during the term
of the contract, provided that no significant obligations remain and collection
of the resulting
                                       23
<PAGE>   29

receivable is probable. Because digital entertainment sponsorships relate to our
network of events rather than a single event, we do not track the profitability
of each event. However, we do track production costs by event as well as the
visitors to our coverage of each event.

     As a direct result of having only one live program at a time, revenues from
sponsorships, advertising and electronic commerce have varied on both a
quarterly and annual basis during our short operating history. Revenues may
fluctuate from period to period in the future depending upon our ability to
attract digital entertainment sponsorships, the number of live events that are
being produced and distributed simultaneously during any one period, our ability
to maintain a continuous programming calendar, our ability to attract a
worldwide audience for our sporting events, our ability to acquire long-term
digital and other intellectual property rights to global sporting events and our
ability to develop and produce sports programming which will attract a global
audience.

     We also generate revenues by providing studio services that could lead to
digital sports entertainment programming opportunities. These revenues are
recognized in the period the service is provided. We intend to continue to offer
studio services; however, we expect studio services to decline substantially as
a percentage of overall revenues in future periods.

     We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from
operations, and as of March 31, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $23.9
million. This accumulated deficit resulted from the production costs of our
network programming, the costs of developing new and enhancing existing tools
and techniques that enhance our Quokka Sports Platform technology, the costs of
expanding our sales and business development efforts and other costs related to
ongoing research and design. Due to the planned expansion of our digital sports
entertainment programming, we expect to incur significant operating losses for
the foreseeable future. Although we have experienced revenue growth in recent
periods, this growth may not be sustainable and, therefore, these recent periods
should not be considered indicative of future performance. We may never achieve
significant revenues or profitability; or if we achieve significant revenues,
they may not be sustained.

     Quokka and its subsidiaries and joint venture will account for acquired
media rights pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 63.
Under FAS No. 63, a licensee shall report an asset and a liability for the
rights acquired and obligations incurred under a license agreement when the
license period begins and other conditions, including availability and
acceptance, have been met. The assets will be amortized over their estimated
useful life.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998

        Revenues.  Revenues increased from $39,000 in 1996 to $4.0 million in
1997 to $8.6 million in 1998. In 1997, we generated revenues from the sale of
sponsorships for the first time. Revenues increased from 1996 to 1997 primarily
as a result of 1997 sponsorship sales totaling $2.7 million. The increase in
revenues from 1997 to 1998 is primarily attributable to a $4.3 million increase
in sponsorship revenues. Included in total sponsorship revenues for 1996, 1997
and 1998 were revenues relating to products and services accepted as payment of
$0, $1.7 million and $4.4 million. Products and services accepted as payment
have included Internet access, computer hardware and software, digital cameras,
hosting services, telecommunications equipment and other products and services
required to operate our events. These products and services are recorded as
revenues and are also reflected as production costs in the consolidated
statements of operations for all periods presented. The balance of the increase
in revenues was primarily attributable to increases in revenues from studio
services from $39,000 in 1996 to $1.2 million in 1997 to $1.6 million in 1998.

        Production Costs.  Total production costs increased from $611,000 in
1996 to $5.1 million in 1997 to $7.8 million in 1998. Production costs include
costs of personnel and consultants, computer hardware and software, travel,
satellite transmission costs, field gear, cameras, satellite phones, marketing
and an allocation of general and administrative expenses. The $4.5 million
increase in production costs

                                       24
<PAGE>   30

from 1996 to 1997 is due to the launch of our first digital sports entertainment
program, the Whitbread race, during 1997. The $2.7 million increase from 1997 to
1998 is attributable to an increase in the number of months of live programming.

        Research and Engineering.  Research and engineering expenses increased
from $423,000 in 1996 to $1.0 million in 1997 to $4.5 million in 1998. Research
and engineering expenses include personnel cost, costs associated with network
operations and expenses incurred to improve and develop our Quokka Sports
Platform and broadband applications. The increase in research and engineering
expenses from year to year is attributable to an increase in the number of
development projects. Research and engineering costs are expensed as incurred.

     During 1998, we entered into a software license and development agreement.
In connection with this agreement, we issued warrants to purchase 635,650 shares
of our preferred stock and recognized a non-cash charge of $853,000 during 1998.

        Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses increased from
$53,000 in 1996 to $816,000 in 1997 to $2.5 million in 1998. Sales and marketing
expenses include personnel costs, consultants and advertising. These expenses
increased primarily due to increases in the number of sales and marketing
personnel and consultants. During 1998, we spent $554,000 for advertising and we
expect to significantly increase our advertising expenses in future periods as
we build the Quokka brand and awareness of our programming.

        Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased from $0 in 1996 to $68,000 in 1997 to $530,000 in 1998. Depreciation
and amortization expenses consist of depreciation of computers,
telecommunications equipment, software, and furniture and fixtures associated
with our operational infrastructure. Amortization expense relates to leasehold
improvements of our facilities in San Francisco. The increase in depreciation
and amortization expenses was primarily due to increased facilities, equipment
and related costs associated with an increase in personnel in all areas.

        General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses
increased from $508,000 in 1996 to $1.8 million in 1997 to $3.2 million in 1998.
General and administrative expenses include management, business and legal
affairs, finance and accounting, facilities, management information systems and
human resources. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to
increased personnel in all areas to support and grow our business including
increased facilities and related costs.

        Interest Income and Expense, Net.  Net interest expense was $4,000 in
1996 and $71,000 in 1997. Net interest income was $320,000 in 1998. Interest
expense incurred during these periods relate to our financing obligations for
various equipment purchases. Interest income recorded during these periods
includes interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents. The increase from
1997 to 1998 was primarily due to a higher investment balance throughout 1998
due to the issuance of preferred stock. Interest income in 1998 was partially
offset by increased interest expense due to borrowings under a line of credit.

        Net Losses.  Based upon the foregoing information, we had net losses of
$1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, $4.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.

  Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1999

        Revenues.  Revenues declined from $4.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 to $897,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Revenues for the first quarter of 1998 were primarily derived from sponsorship
revenues associated with our coverage of the Whitbread Round The World Race, our
sole event during the period. Revenues for the first quarter of 1999 were
primarily derived from sponsorship revenues associated with our coverage of the
Around Alone race, our sole event during the period. The Whitbread is a better
known event than Around Alone and, accordingly, attracted larger sponsorship
revenues.

                                       25
<PAGE>   31

        Production Costs.  Production costs decreased from $3.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 to $2.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The $713,000 decrease reflects significantly lower costs
associated with our coverage of the Around Alone race as compared to the
Whitbread race. Production costs for each event we cover vary based on the
specific attributes of each event, operating efficiencies gained from our
previous experience with similar events and the depth and breadth of our event
coverage. A combination of these factors resulted in production costs for the
Around Alone race that were less than those for the Whitbread race. Decreased
Around Alone production costs were partially offset by increased expenses
related to the production activities for upcoming events. Our production costs
associated with coverage of the Around Alone race, our sole event during the
period, exceeded the revenues generated by this coverage. Accordingly, our
coverage of the Around Alone race was not profitable.

        Research and Engineering.  Research and engineering expenses increased
from $586,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $2.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999. This increase represents the cost of
additional personnel and related expenses associated with our continuing
development of our Quokka Sports Platform, broadband applications and network
operations.

        Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses increased from
$358,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The $1.0 million increase is attributable to
increases in the number of sales and marketing personnel and expenses related to
creating a brand, developing audience awareness of our programming and launching
www.quokka.com.

        General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses
increased from $870,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. This increase was
attributable to increased personnel and related facilities and other third-party
expenses associated with building our operational infrastructure. During the
first quarter of 1999, we leased additional office space in San Francisco and
new office space in London.

        Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased from $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $430,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. The $386,000 increase was primarily due
to increased facilities, equipment and related costs associated with an increase
in personnel in all areas.

        Interest Income and Expense, Net. Net interest income was $32,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $169,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The $137,000 net increase reflects a higher investment balance
during the three months ended March 31, 1999 due to the issuance of preferred
stock during prior periods.

        Equity and Losses of Associated Venture. We incurred net losses of
$452,000 in our joint venture with Forsythe Racing, Inc. for the period from the
inception of CART Digital Media Enterprises, LLC in January 1999 through March
31, 1999. We have accounted for our 50% interest in this joint venture under the
equity method of accounting. Expenses incurred during the period related
primarily to pre-production expenses for CART programming.

        Net Losses. Based upon the foregoing information, we had net losses of
$390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $7.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since August 1996, we have financed our operations primarily through
private sales of our equity securities. Total net proceeds from sales of our
equity securities since August 1996 were $41.1 million through March 31, 1999.
In May and June 1999, we completed an additional private sale of our equity
securities. The gross proceeds from this transaction were $40.7 million.

     In addition to funding ongoing operations and capital expenditures, our
principal commitments consist of various obligations under operating and capital
leases. On July 24, 1997, we entered into a capital lease for the use of certain
computer and telecommunications equipment with a purchase price of approximately
$120,000. This capital lease requires monthly payments of $4,200 through
November 2000. On October 7, 1998, we entered into a financing arrangement with
a bank to borrow $750,000 for the purchase of

                                       26
<PAGE>   32

equipment. Our obligations under this financing arrangement are secured by the
underlying equipment. Terms of this agreement require monthly repayment over 36
months commencing November 25, 1998 in the amount of approximately $21,000 per
month plus interest at a rate equal to 0.75% over the prime rate quoted by the
bank. At March 31, 1999, the prime rate quoted by the bank was 7.75% and
accordingly the interest rate was 8.50%. Total rent expense for outstanding
leases is approximately $90,000 per month.

     In February 1999, we established NBC/Quokka Ventures, LLC, a joint venture
with NBC Olympics, Inc. The terms of the operating agreement for the venture
require us to make quarterly capital contributions in amounts necessary to fund
the venture's operations on an ongoing basis in accordance with the annual
operating plan. Accordingly, the capital contribution amounts and the timing of
these contributions will be based on the actual activities of the venture and
are unknown at this time. We plan to fund the venture with our cash and cash
equivalent balances and the net proceeds from this offering. This venture has
been consolidated in our financial statements.

     In February 1999, we entered into a subordinated debt agreement. The terms
of this agreement call for maximum borrowings of $10 million. Repayment is due
in 36 monthly installments commencing in February 2000 and is subject to
acceleration under certain conditions including the completion of an initial
public offering. No amounts were outstanding on this facility as of March 31,
1999. In connection with this agreement, we issued warrants for the purchase of
215,384 shares of preferred stock. The imputed value of these warrants is
$552,000 and has been treated as a loan commitment fee. This fee is being
amortized over the term of the six-month draw down period as no further services
are required to earn the warrants and they are fully vested, and $140,000 of
this amount was amortized in the three months ended March 31, 1999.

     In March 1999, we established CART Digital Media Enterprises, LLC, a joint
venture with Forsythe Racing, Inc. The terms of the venture agreement require
the two parties to make equal capital contributions on a quarterly basis. We
currently expect to make capital contributions in order to meet our 50% share of
the venture's needs for operating capital. Accordingly, the capital contribution
amounts and the timing of these contributions will be based on the actual
activities of the venture and are unknown at this time. We plan to fund the
venture with our cash and cash equivalent balances and the net proceeds from
this offering. This joint venture has been accounted for under the equity method
in our financial statements.

     We have acquired programming and distribution rights to various other
events. Under these agreements, we are required to make cash payments through
2003 totaling $16.3 million. We plan to fund these payments with our cash and
cash equivalent balances and the net proceeds of this offering.

     At March 31, 1999, we had $15.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net
cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million and $10.9 million for 1997
and 1998. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million and $6.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999. Net cash used in
operating activities resulted from our net operating losses, adjusted for
certain non-cash items including compensation expense related to the issuance of
warrants to attract key vendors and business partners. Non-cash charges relating
to the issuance of these warrants were $62,000 and $450,000 for 1997 and 1998
and $382,000 and $569,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999.
Non-cash charges relating to depreciation expense were $68,000 and $530,000 for
1997 and 1998 and $44,000 and $430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1999.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $295,000 and $2.7 million for
1997 and 1998. Net cash used in investing activities was $246,000 and $2.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999. Net cash used in
investing activities resulted primarily from capital expenditures relating to
purchases of computer equipment.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.1 million and $33.5
million for 1997 and 1998. Net cash used in financing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 was $11,000 and net cash provided by financing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $279,000. Net cash
provided by financing activities for these periods included the issuance of
preferred stock, common stock and warrants.

                                       27

     No provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded as we
incurred net operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999
and for 1996, 1997 and 1998. However, we have paid state franchise taxes during
1997 and 1998 as well as foreign corporation taxes during 1998. At December 31,
1998, we had approximately $12.0 million of federal net operating loss
carryforwards available to offset future taxable income; these carryforwards
expire in years 2011 through 2017. In addition, we have carryforwards of
approximately $10.0 million as of December 31, 1998 for California franchise tax
purposes, commencing in 2001. As a result of various equity transactions during
1996 and 1997, we believe our company has undergone an "ownership change" as
defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the use of a
portion of the net operating loss carryforward may be limited. Due to this
limitation, and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate use of the net operating
loss carryforward, we have not recorded any tax benefit for losses and have
recorded a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the net deferred tax
asset. In addition, certain events, including any sales by us of shares of our
stock, including sales pursuant to this offering, and/or transfers of a
substantial number of shares of common stock by the current stockholders, may
partially restrict our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards.

     We believe that the net proceeds from this offering, combined with current
cash and cash equivalent balances will be sufficient to fund our operating
requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next
twelve months. Thereafter, we will need to raise additional funds. To the extent
that we encounter unanticipated opportunities, we may seek to raise additional
funds sooner, in which case we may sell additional equity or debt securities or
borrow funds from banks. No assurances can be given that our efforts to raise
these funds will be successful. In the event we are unable to raise these funds,
our operations would suffer. Sales of additional equity or convertible debt
securities would result in additional dilution of our stockholders. For a
discussion of the risks associated with raising additional capital, see "Risk
Factors -- We will need to raise additional capital, which may not be available
on favorable terms and could result in additional dilution."

YEAR 2000 IMPLICATIONS

     Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded
to accept only two-digit entries in the date code field and cannot distinguish
21st century dates from 20th century dates. These date code fields will need to
distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates and, as a result, many
companies' software and computer systems may need to be upgraded or replaced to
comply with year 2000 requirements.

     We are in the process of assessing the year 2000 issue and expect to
complete our assessment by July 1999. We are conducting a three-phase process of
identifying both information technology and non-information technology systems
that are not year 2000 compliant, determining their significance to operations,
and developing plans to resolve issues where necessary. We have not incurred
material costs to date in this process and we do not believe that the cost of
additional actions will have a material effect on our operations. We currently
expect that we will complete this process in August 1999.

     Although we currently believe that our systems and products are year 2000
compliant in all material respects, these systems and products may contain
undetected errors or defects with year 2000 date functions that may result in
material costs. Further, although we are not aware of any material operational
issues or costs associated with preparing our internal systems for the year
2000, we may experience serious unanticipated negative consequences, such as
significant downtime for one or more programming events, or material costs
caused by undetected errors or defects in the technology used in our internal
systems.

     We use third-party equipment, software and content, including
non-information technology systems such as security systems, building equipment
and non-IT systems embedded microcontrollers that may not be year 2000
compliant. We have communicated with all of our hardware and software
developers, suppliers and other third parties to determine whether these third
parties are adequately addressing the year 2000 issue and whether any of their
non-IT systems have material year 2000 compliance problems. Based on the written
representations of these third parties, we believe that the third-party hardware
and

                                       28
<PAGE>   34

software that we use is compliant or is expected to be compliant prior to the
year 2000. Failure of third-party equipment, software or content to operate
properly with regard to the year 2000 and thereafter could cause us to incur
unanticipated expenses to remedy any problems, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are in the process of developing a contingency plan to address situations
that may result if we, or third parties that we rely upon, are unable to achieve
year 2000 readiness. We currently expect to complete this contingency plan by
the end of the third quarter in 1999.

     We do not currently have any information about the year 2000 status of our
sponsors. Failure of our sponsors' equipment or software due to year 2000
problems may result in reduced funds available for sponsorship activities.
Further, the purchasing patterns of sports viewers may be affected by year 2000
issues as companies expend significant resources to correct their current
systems for year 2000 compliance. Finally, we are subject to external forces
that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as utility or
transportation company year 2000 compliance failures and related service
interruptions. The occurrence of any year 2000 compliance failures that affect
our sponsors, our audience or industry and commerce generally could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

OVERVIEW

     Quokka Sports has pioneered a distinctive new style of global sports
entertainment programming that uses the digital information sharing and
communications power of the Internet. Our programming is designed to provide a
compelling sports entertainment experience by allowing viewers to choose from a
variety of perspectives, information and action sequences. Our coverage of
sporting events incorporates a wide range of materials or digital media assets,
which might include: video, text, audio, images, athlete vital signs, locational
and directional data, environmental data, e-mails, results and timing. Our
programming can be accessed over the Internet at www.quokka.com and may be
delivered to viewers over other interactive systems that transmit digitized
data, such as cable and satellite systems, in the future. We believe new
interactive technologies provide exciting opportunities for making
information-intensive programming also entertaining. With distinctive content
designed to build on this opportunity, we believe we are positioned to become a
leading provider of digital sports entertainment addressing the entertainment
passions of a global community of sports enthusiasts.

     We are creating an interactive digital sports network that offers a variety
of sports entertainment programming. In developing our programming calendar, we
currently target sports events that are generally long in duration and rich in
the types of materials or digital media assets we seek to incorporate in our
program. We also currently target sports events that involve continuous action
with multiple simultaneous activities and have a global audience that is
attractive to sponsors and advertisers. We have selected the Olympics, motor
racing, sailing and adventure sports as the first four channels of our network.

     In February 1999, we established a joint venture with NBC Olympics, Inc. to
develop interactive digital coverage of the Olympics through August 2004. In
March 1999, through a joint venture with Forsythe Racing, Inc., we acquired
digital rights to cover the Championship Auto Racing Teams events through 2003.
Additionally, in March 1999, we acquired digital rights to cover FIM 500cc Road
Racing World Championship motorcycle races through 2003. In May 1999, we
acquired digital rights to cover the America's Cup Match yacht race in 2000. We
covered the 7th Whitbread Round The World Race from September 1997 to May 1998
and began coverage of the nine-month Around Alone sailing race in September
1998. We covered the 14th Marathon des Sables desert footrace and are also
covering Quokka-created adventure sports events as part of our adventure sports
channel. We plan to add programming to each of our four existing channels and
may create additional channels in the future.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

  The Evolution of the Internet as a Powerful New Medium

     The Internet has quickly become a global medium for worldwide
communication, instant access to information and electronic commerce.
International Data Corporation estimates that the number of Web users worldwide
will increase from approximately 142 million at the end of 1998 to more than 502
million by the end of 2003 and that more than 56% of Web users in 1998 accessed
the Internet from outside the United States. We believe such rapid growth is
attributable mainly to the increasing number of personal computers in homes and
offices, the decreasing cost of personal computers, technological innovations
providing easier, faster and cheaper access to the Internet and the
proliferation of content and services available on the Internet.

                                       30
<PAGE>   36

     The technological advances associated with the Internet and other emerging
interactive systems that transmit digitized data, such as cable and satellite
systems, provide advertisers with a level of targetability, interactivity and
measurability not available in traditional media. Accordingly, Forrester
Research estimates that the amount of Web advertising worldwide will grow from
$1.5 billion in 1998 to over $15.3 billion by the year 2003. Additionally, as
online merchants take advantage of these technological improvements to deliver a
guided selling experience, integrating intelligent product recommendations,
real-time customer services and simplified buying procedures, more consumers are
expected to engage in electronic commerce. International Data Corporation
estimates that the number of consumers making purchases on the Internet will
grow from 30.8 million in 1998 to 182.6 million in 2003 and that the total value
of consumer goods and services purchased over the Internet will increase from
$14.9 billion to $177.7 billion over the same five-year period. The combination
of the growth in online advertising and electronic commerce enhances the
Internet's value as a commerce medium. There can be no assurance that the
current growth of the Internet and Internet-related business will result in a
corresponding growth in our business.

     As new interactive systems, including cable and satellite, continue to
become more widely adopted, we believe the Internet will continue to transform
from an information-based medium to one that enables dynamic entertainment-based
content. These new systems are capable of transmitting digitized material at
faster rates and consequently can transmit large amounts of this material, such
as video clips, within a relatively short time frame. These systems are often
referred to as "broadband" systems. Technology companies are developing these
broadband systems to accommodate the larger amounts of digitized data that must
be transmitted quickly to provide faster access, portability of media over
multiple delivery devices and new interactive opportunities. According to
Forrester Research, broadband access provides consumers with high-speed,
always-on connections and multiple services like telephone and Internet on a
single line at a price to performance ratio that is 5 to 25 times better than
conventional Internet dial-up connections. As a result, Forrester Research
estimates that approximately 15.8 million households in the United States will
have high-speed personal computer connections to the Internet by 2002.

  The Global Sports Industry

     Participatory and spectator sports are among the leading passions in
developed nations around the globe as evidenced by the popularity of sports
media and the amount of money consumers spend on sports events, products and
related services. The ESPN Chilton Sports Poll estimates that 86.6% of the
general population 12 years of age or older in the United States are sports
fans. Further, according to Nielsen Media Research, sports television
programming in the United States consistently draws large audiences, with sports
broadcasts comprising seven of the top ten most widely viewed telecasts during
the 1997-98 television season.

     The business opportunities associated with sports are large and diverse.
Today, sporting events generate revenues from the sale of broadcast rights,
sponsorships, advertising, merchandising, publishing and venue access, and these
revenue opportunities continue to evolve. The Georgia Institute of Technology
estimated that revenue streams derived from spectator sports, sporting goods and
sporting publications in the United States in 1995 exceeded $130 billion.
Sponsorships frequently integrate the sponsoring company's products, logos and
trademarks with the sporting event. Based on research conducted by Sponsorship
Research International, an independent research organization that measures
global sponsorship opportunities, we estimate that in 1998 $13.2 billion was
invested globally in sports through the sponsorship of events, federations,
teams, individuals and stadiums.

                                       31

     Sponsorship Research International has identified the following events as
some of the leading global sports sponsorship opportunities:

</TABLE>

In the table above, information for each event is as of the year indicated and
is the most recently available data from Sponsorship Research International.
Additionally, in applying the method used to determine the cumulative global
television audience a person who watches multiple games or multiple days of
coverage of an event would be counted multiple times. For example, a person who
watches 15 World Cup Soccer matches would be counted 15 times.

     Advertising and merchandise sales also generate substantial revenues in the
sports industry. Paul Kagan Associates, Inc. estimates that advertisers in the
United States will increase their sports-related television advertising from
$4.8 billion in 1998 to $6.6 billion in 2003. The Sporting Goods Manufacturers
Association estimates that expenditures by sports fans in the United States on
sports-related goods and services reached $45.6 billion in 1998.

     The growth of the Internet presents a unique means of reaching
geographically dispersed sports audiences. Because of the low incremental cost
of distributing information and entertainment over the Internet, producing
global sporting events for a geographically dispersed fan base is now
economically feasible. Additionally, as the Internet has evolved, sports fans
have increasingly turned to the Internet for sports information, making
sports-related Web sites some of the most popular online destinations. Based on
a poll of computer owners in the United States, the ESPN Chilton Sports Poll
estimates that 36 million people in the United States accessed sports
information on the Internet in 1998, an increase of 40% over 1997. In addition,
using Media Metrix data, we estimate that sports fans spend approximately 20%
more time per usage session on sports-related Web sites than the average user
does at the average Web site and revisit these sports-related Web sites
approximately 33% more often. At this time, our sites are not tracked by Media
Metrix, which uses a sampling procedure similar to television's Nielsen ratings.
Accordingly, we believe our traffic and audience metrics, which are based on
actual visitors, are not comparable to the Media Metrix statistics. Therefore,
we do not know where our sites would rank among sports-related Web sites.
Cyberdialogue/findsvp also found that on average, sports fans spend more time
per week online, have higher household incomes and make more online purchases
than the average online adult.

  Limitations of Current Sports Coverage

     Because of the tremendous popularity of sports worldwide, numerous
traditional and online information sources such as newspapers, magazines,
broadcasters and specialized sports-related Web sites have attempted to address
sports fans' demand for up-to-date information and entertaining coverage of
their favorite events. Although print media, such as newspapers and magazines,
are adequate for communicating basic information such as scores and statistics
or reporting on the outcome of an event, their content cannot be enhanced with
video animation or audio stimulation. Further, although these media have the
ability to produce in-depth analysis of athletes and events, the content cannot
be changed until a new edition is published and the timeliness of this content
is often limited because of inherent delays in production and distribution.
                                       32
<PAGE>   38

     Although radio and television broadcasters are able to provide real-time
coverage in an entertaining fashion, all viewers and listeners of a given
program receive a single presentation of the content. Broadcast coverage is
generally regional in nature, leaving significant global audiences untapped as
broadcasters seek to meet the demands of the largest audiences in their specific
coverage regions. Additionally, broadcast media are constrained by the limited
ability of the audience to interact with the programming on a real-time basis
and the relatively small number of available frequencies or channels. Further,
because traditional broadcast media are unlikely to devote all 24 hours of
programming available on a channel to coverage of a single event and because
traditional broadcast media do not have the technological capabilities to allow
viewers to choose from a variety of perspectives, information and action
sequences, we believe they are not well suited to cover sporting events with
long durations, large or discontinuous venues, multiple simultaneous activities
and continuous action for a global audience. For example, traditional
broadcasters were limited in their ability to provide continuous coverage of the
action during the Whitbread Round The World Race, which was primarily conducted
across the most remote sections of the world's oceans for approximately nine
months.

     While Web sites that include sports information as part of their offerings
have proliferated, we believe these sites are typically more informational than
engaging. In general, these sites deploy traditional styles of sports coverage
by providing access to the same type of content available through traditional
media channels, except on a real-time and interactive basis. We believe that
because these sites use traditional styles of presenting content they fail to
take full advantage of the opportunities presented by new interactive
technologies to produce engaging sports entertainment programming.

THE QUOKKA SOLUTION

     We have pioneered a unique new style of global sports entertainment
programming that uses the digital information sharing and communications power
of the Internet. By leveraging our rights to digital media assets such as
locational and directional data, environmental data, e-mails, video, text,
audio, images, results and timing, we believe we are able to capitalize on the
advantages of interactive systems to provide our global audience with a
compelling sports entertainment experience. Through our distinctive approach to
covering sports we intend to capitalize on the market opportunities created by
the emergence of the Internet as a communications and commerce medium, the
worldwide popularity of sports and the appealing demographics of sports fans.
Further, because we use the Internet to distribute our programming to
geographically dispersed audiences, we are able to reach significant global
markets on a cost-effective basis. The primary advantages of our solution are as
follows:

  Brings the Sports Fan Closer to the Event Through Distinctive Programming

     Our programming is designed to emulate the experience of being at the
sports venue by removing barriers between the athlete and the audience and
enabling fans to experience the sport from the athlete's perspective. We call
our distinctive approach to covering sports Quokka Sports Immersion. As
performance data about the athletes and their equipment are captured during
competitions, we create graphic visualizations, simulations and extensive
performance analyses. These visualizations, simulations and analyses, together
with e-mail from the athletes themselves, audio, video and other material, tell
the story behind a given athletic endeavor to fans who want to look deeper into
the action. For example, when covering the Whitbread and Around Alone races, we
presented the data that drove each skipper's tactical decisions, including each
boat's position as well as forecasts of wind speed, currents and water
temperature. Additionally, our programming includes virtual competitions that
parallel the actual event, allowing fans to compare their performance directly
against that of the competitors. The Quokka Sports Immersion experience is
controlled by each user in an interactive environment that traditional media
does not provide, enabling our audience to become actively involved in the
sports coverage they enjoy.

                                       33
<PAGE>   39

  Establishes a Network Offering Distinctive Sports Programming and Content

     We are creating an interactive digital sports network that offers a broad
range of engaging sports entertainment programming. Our programming can be
accessed over the Internet at www.quokka.com and related event Web sites and may
be available through other interactive systems, such as cable and satellite
systems, in the future. Our selection of sports events is central to the
experience we create for our audience. In developing our programming calendar,
we are currently targeting sports events that are particularly well-suited to
our distinctive style of coverage, such as the Olympics, motor racing, sailing
and adventure sports. These sporting events typically have long durations, large
or discontinuous venues, multiple simultaneous activities or continuous action.
We believe that Quokka Sports Immersion has the potential to change the way
sports such as these are experienced.

  Provides Attractive Opportunities for Sponsors and Advertisers

     We provide our sponsors with value beyond a simple media buy over the
Internet. Sponsors secure exclusivity within a particular industry category and
the opportunity to embed and promote their products in our digital programming.
Our technology and communication sponsors also have the opportunity to showcase
their technological capabilities using our Quokka Sports Immersion programming.
Additionally, we believe we deliver a global audience of loyal users with
demographics desired by sponsors and advertisers. For example, our first digital
sports program, the 1997-98 Whitbread Round The World Race, attracted more than
1.8 million unique users from 177 countries, more than half of whom accessed the
site outside the United States. According to statistics audited by Internet
Profiles Corporation, these users spent an average of approximately 9.9 minutes
per visit at the site. This compares favorably to an average of 5.8 minutes per
visit at other leading sports-related Web sites, according to our estimates
based on Media Metrix statistics. According to a Quokka-conducted survey,
visitors to the Whitbread site were primarily between 25 and 34 years old and
had an average annual household income of $75,000. Additionally, according to
this survey, 64% of the visitors to the Whitbread site were college educated and
63% held professional, executive or technical positions. Based on these
demographic characteristics, we believe the visitors to the Whitbread site
represented an attractive, targeted audience for sponsors and advertisers.

STRATEGY

     Our objective is to be the leading branded interactive network for digital
sports entertainment. Our strategy includes the following key elements:

  Establish Key Relationships Centered Around Global Sporting Events

     We intend to establish additional key relationships to complement our
existing relationships with global sports organizations and their media partners
in order to expand our programming. Through relationships with a variety of
sports leaders, including NBC Olympics, Inc. and Forsythe Racing, Inc., we and
our joint ventures have secured rights to provide digital coverage of major
sports events such as the Olympics and CART auto racing. We intend to expand our
programming schedule as we establish additional relationships. We also expect to
capitalize on the exposure we receive from our coverage of our existing events
to gain access to digital rights to additional sporting events in the future. As
we seek to expand our programming, we will target events that attract a global
audience and are well-suited to our distinctive style of programming.

  Build Brand Recognition

     We intend to build traffic and brand recognition by aggressively marketing
www.quokka.com as the first interactive network that emulates the experience of
being at the sports venue. We believe building brand awareness of www.quokka.com
and the Quokka Sports Immersion experience will lead users to associate our
style of programming with a distinctive experience that inspires lengthy repeat
visits and strong audience loyalty. We plan to market www.quokka.com through an
extensive traditional media campaign employing advertising through television,
print publications, outdoor signage and radio. We also plan to conduct a
simultaneous online advertising campaign and to gain increased exposure through
our co-branded initiatives. For example, we expect to receive significant
exposure on the CART Radio Network during its broadcast of CART FedEx
Championship Series races.

                                       34
<PAGE>   40

  Establish Global Communities by Bringing Together Geographically Dispersed
Audiences

     We intend to use the global nature of the Internet to provide our sports
programming to large, geographically dispersed audiences. Through our
programming, we plan to create global online communities of viewers with similar
interests that come together to experience international sporting events that
take place continents or oceans away. For example, we plan to establish
membership-based online communities centered around each of our major channels.
These communities will provide geographically dispersed sports fans with the
opportunity to participate in virtual competitions, chat rooms and electronic
commerce. We believe these online communities will inspire sports enthusiasts to
visit our network repeatedly and will help establish www.quokka.com as the
leading destination site for global sports enthusiasts.

  Generate Multiple Revenue Opportunities

     We intend to leverage our distinctive programming, dispersed global
communities and interactive content library to create multiple revenue streams.
In addition to generating revenue by selling digital entertainment sponsorships
and advertising, we intend to offer subscription services that provide access to
premium content and pay-per-view events. We are also pursuing electronic
commerce opportunities to sell merchandise targeted to the audience of each
sporting event we cover as well as certain derivative products generated from
our content, such as books, games and screen savers. We also plan to expand our
library of archived content from our sports programming that we believe may
generate additional revenues through syndication.

  Enhance Our Innovative Approach to Sports Programming

     We plan to continue using leading-edge digital technology to create
entertaining sports experiences for our audience. To improve and expand our
programming, we intend to continue developing our technological expertise and
our content library as well as our strategic relationships with leading
technology companies. We believe that our innovative approach to sports
programming positions us to become the leading interactive sports network and
gives us a competitive advantage in the emerging digital broadcast industry. We
intend to leverage the experience we gain from covering each event across all of
our programming to enhance the overall experience for our audiences and
encourage them to visit our network for longer periods of time.

  Capitalize on Evolving Broadband Opportunities

     We plan to capitalize on opportunities created by the evolution of
broadband technologies. We intend to build our programming on a component by
component basis. We expect that this programming structure will enable us to
optimize the richness of our programming for the bandwidth available across a
range of interactive systems, including the Internet, cable modems, satellite
systems and other emerging broadband technologies. We believe this approach will
enable users to enjoy our programming at all connection speeds.

OUR SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMMING

     Our selection of sporting events is the foundation for the experience we
create for our audience. In developing our programming calendar, we currently
target sporting events that are generally long in duration, have a global
audience and involve continuous action and multiple simultaneous activities.
Additionally, these events are generally rich in the materials or digital media
assets we seek to incorporate in our programming. We believe that as we expand
our programming and develop new methods of providing our distinctive sports
coverage, we will be able to enhance the overall experience for our future
audiences and encourage them to visit our network for longer periods of time. In
developing our distinctive coverage of each event, we strive to create an
experience through which our audience can connect with our content as a member
of a community with shared interests. Our goal is to enable our audience to
understand the event with the intensity of participating athletes, get to know
the athletes so the audience will empathize with them and interact with the
experience we create.

  Whitbread Round The World Race: Our Inaugural Event

     Our digital coverage of the 7th Whitbread Round The World Race, a 32,000
nautical mile around-the-world sailing competition, provides an excellent
example of the programming that we are able to create by using Quokka Sports
Immersion. We chose this event as the first test of our programming approach
because we believed it exemplified the type of global, long-duration,
large-venue, continuous and multi-focus sporting event that traditional media
has failed to cover adequately and because it fit well with our distinctive
style of programming. By exploiting the new technological opportunities afforded
by the Internet, we created interactive coverage not possible through
traditional media. Team profiles and ongoing stories, such as accounts of the
drama that unfolded when a contender collided with an iceberg in the Southern
Ocean, made the athletes more than simply names on a screen but people to be
cheered on, empathized with and cared about. The Whitbread site attracted more
than 1.8 million unique users from 177 countries during the nine-month race,
with over half the audience coming from outside the United States.

     When the ten Whitbread yachts left Southampton, England on September 21,
1997 to begin their nine-month race, we had each boat fully equipped to transmit
digital assets. Satellite transceivers on each boat sent digital video, still
images, audio clips, e-mails and locational and directional data to our
production studios in San Francisco. We then combined that data with wind,
weather and water current information forecasts to create our distinctive
coverage for the www.whitbread.org site. The site presented the drama
surrounding each boat's voyage, using the crew's own words and pictures. In
addition, the site gave fans the ability to follow the race action on our
proprietary Quokka Race Viewer, a fully interactive navigation quality map that
gave fans a bird's eye view of each boat's location, maneuvers and tactical
challenges 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing fans to drill down deeply
into the event and understand it from the sailor's perspective.

     The locational and directional data provided by the boats as well as the
wind, weather and water current forecasts also fed our proprietary Virtual Race
game engine, allowing fans to sail their own virtual yachts, competing against
other virtual racers and comparing their progress against the actual
competitors. More than 11,000 virtual boats raced side-by-side with the real
boats on our Quokka Race Viewer, bringing virtual competitors into the heart of
the action. With access to the same information on wind speed, current and
weather as the actual competitors, the virtual racers could make real-time
strategy and tactics decisions regarding sail selection and course headings in
an effort to complete the course first.

  Current and Upcoming Programming

     We have selected the Olympics, motor racing, sailing and adventure sports
as the first four channels of our network, and we plan to develop additional
channels in the future. The following calendar identifies our and our joint
ventures' programming, including pre- and post-event coverage.

  Olympics

     The International Olympic Committee expects more than 10,000 athletes from
an estimated 200 countries to compete in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney,
Australia. According to the International Olympic Committee, the 1996 Olympic
Games in Atlanta generated a cumulative television audience in the United States
of 2.3 billion. Additionally, the International Olympic Committee estimates that
Olympic marketing, which is composed of broadcast rights fees, sponsorships,
supplierships, license fees, ticket revenue and related merchandise sales, is
projected to exceed $3.5 billion for the 1997-2000 Olympic quadrennium.

     Our joint venture with NBC Olympics, Inc. has the rights to provide
interactive digital coverage in the United States of the Summer Games in Sydney
in 2000, the Winter Games in Salt Lake City in 2002, the Summer Games in Athens
in 2004 and certain related pre-Games and United States Olympic qualifying
events. Additionally, the joint venture has secured rights to incorporate
limited highlights of NBC video into its digital interactive coverage for a
United States audience. See "-- Joint Ventures and Rights Agreements" for a
discussion of the rights held by the joint venture.

     The joint venture is scheduled to launch its Web site in August 1999 in
advance of the 2000 Olympic Games. The site will build awareness for broadcast
and digital interactive coverage of the Games by covering pre-Olympic events,
such as the United States Gymnastics Championship and United States Olympic Team
Trials. In addition, covering the pre-Olympic events also has certain production
advantages. For example, the events will enable us to tune our production
infrastructure in advance of the 2000 Olympic Games. Likewise, in covering
pre-Olympic events, the joint venture will collect numerous digital assets, such
as athletes' backgrounds, that can also be used in the digital coverage of the
Olympic Games.

     The joint venture is currently preparing for its coverage of the 2000
Olympic Games in Sydney and the United States trials leading up to these Games.
These development and pre-production activities include hiring key personnel,
integrating the respective expertise of NBC and Quokka, selecting the emphasis
for the coverage, gathering background information on athletes, building
templates for the joint venture's coverage and establishing the infrastructure
necessary to create the coverage and support anticipated visits to the joint
venture's Web site.

  Motor Racing

     Motor racing attracts a global audience with races held around the world.
Based on information compiled by Sponsorship Research International across 14
countries including the United States, the

                                       37
<PAGE>   43

United Kingdom, Brazil and Russia, we estimate that there were approximately 340
million people who watched televised motor racing events and approximately 350
million people who watched televised motor cycling events in 1998. Additionally,
we believe that auto racing is one of the most popular spectator sports in North
America. According to the 1998 Goodyear Racing Attendance Report, race
attendance for the 12 North American racing series that the Goodyear Rubber &
Tire Company monitored in 1998 was approximately 17.1 million people.

     We believe motor racing is well-suited to our distinctive style of
programming due to its continuous, multi-focus action. Although it is exciting
to follow the current leader, motor races are often won or lost by action
occurring elsewhere in the race. A contender threatening to overtake the lead
may lose critical time during an inefficient pit-stop or a dark-horse may
suddenly pull into the lead because of a particularly adept cornering maneuver.
Additionally, motor racing fans tend to be interested in following one or two of
their favorite racers, who, unless in the lead, may rarely be shown on-air by
traditional broadcasters.

     Our coverage of a motor racing event will generally include:

     - a proprietary Quokka Race Viewer providing an up-to-the-minute lap
       position graphic, lap time and time-behind-leader updates;

     - track audio feeds;

     - graphical representations of the course;

     - a chronicle allowing fans to follow their favorite drivers and teams;

     - in-depth profiles on drivers, teams and manufacturers with interactive
       photo galleries;

     - interactive global event map and detailed race schedules, including
       United States and foreign television coverage schedules;

     - a virtual competition, where fans play the role of team owners; and

     - community and electronic commerce areas.

        CART.  We have acquired, through a joint venture with Forsythe Racing,
Inc., the exclusive worldwide interactive media rights for all Championship Auto
Racing Team (otherwise known as CART) events through December 31, 2003. CART
competitors drive open-wheel champ cars with engines generating 900 or more
horsepower at speeds up to 200 miles per hour. In 1999, the CART FedEx
Championship Series consists of 20 races held on large and small oval tracks,
permanent road courses and temporary street circuits in Japan, Brazil, Canada,
the United States and Australia. See "-- Joint Ventures and Rights Agreements"
for a discussion of the rights held by the joint venture.

     In Motegi, Japan, the joint venture's digital coverage of CART captured the
drama that sometimes occurs in motor racing. Near the end of the race, live
in-car audio feeds from drivers Adrian Fernandez and Greg Moore gave our
audience a unique insight into the closing laps of Fernandez's victory at
Motegi. Fernandez and his crew gambled on having enough gas to complete the race
and stayed out of the pit, knowing that the entire race could be lost by running
out of gas on the last lap. Meanwhile, Moore spun with less than two laps to go,
bringing out a caution flag that enabled Fernandez to conserve fuel and win the
race. With live in-car audio feeds from both these drivers, our digital coverage
brought our audience inside the drama as it was developing.

     We plan to provide coverage of the annual CART FedEx Championship Series
racing season, which runs from February to November, and to extend the coverage
to include pre-and post-season developments. We may elect to cover additional
CART events in the future.

        FIM Motorcycle Racing.  We have acquired the exclusive, worldwide
interactive media rights for all Federation Internacionale de Motocyclisme
(otherwise known as FIM) 500cc Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix and
related 250cc and 125cc motorcycle events from January 1, 2000 through December
31, 2003. Racing prototype motorcycles, competitors in FIM Grand Prix races
compete at speeds in excess of 170 miles per hour on fixed course tracks. Races
are held throughout the world several
                                       38
<PAGE>   44

times a month during the racing season. The season runs from mid-April through
October, with 16 races held in such varied locations as Brazil, Germany, South
Africa, Italy, Holland, Spain, Japan and Malaysia. Beginning in 2000, we plan to
provide coverage of the annual FIM Grand Prix motorcycle racing season and to
extend this coverage to include pre- and post-season developments. See "-- Joint
Ventures and Rights Agreements" for a discussion of the rights we acquired from
FIM.

  Sailing

     Sailing attracts a significant worldwide audience, with events like the
Whitbread Round The World Race generating a cumulative global television
audience of approximately 2.6 billion according to Sponsorship Research
International. Based on information compiled by Sponsorship Research
International across 14 countries including the United States, the United
Kingdom, Brazil and Russia, we estimate that approximately 270 million people
watched televised sailing events in 1998. As evidenced by our successful
coverage of the Whitbread race, sailing is well-suited to our distinctive style
of programming.

     Our coverage of a sailing event will generally include:

     - a proprietary Quokka Race Viewer depicting each boat's position as well
       as wind, water current and other weather data on navigation-quality
       charts 24 hours a day, seven days a week;

     - substantial coverage by the competitors themselves through e-mail, moving
       video, still video and audio transmissions;

     - a chronicle allowing fans to follow their favorite skippers and crews;

     - behind-the-scenes, in-depth coverage of the crews and boats, with
       interactive photo galleries;

     - a virtual competition, where fans can race head-to-head against other
       virtual competitors and compare their progress against the actual
       competitors, and where both actual and virtual boats are tracked on our
       proprietary Quokka Race Viewer; and

     - community and electronic commerce areas.

        Around Alone.  We have acquired the exclusive, worldwide interactive
media rights for the Around Alone race through December 31, 2001 with the option
to extend the term for two additional four-year periods.

     Held every four years, the Around Alone race is a 27,000 nautical mile solo
sailing race around the world through some of the earth's most treacherous
waters. The race challenges the nautical skills, endurance, resourcefulness,
innovation and fortitude of competitors who circumnavigate the globe making only
four stops. Sixteen competitors entered the 5th Around Alone race that began in
September 1998 and ended in May 1999. This year's race had stops in Cape Town,
South Africa; Auckland, New Zealand; Punta del Este, Uruguay; and Charleston,
South Carolina. Our coverage of the 5th Around Alone race began in September
1998, and by mid-April 1999, we had attracted more than 300,000 unique users.

     Because we had equipped the boats with instruments to capture real-time
information about the competitors, we were able to provide live coverage of
significant events during the race -- events that previously would have been
covered only after the sailors had reached port and the action had long-since
passed. For example, fans were able to follow the exciting rescue of Isabelle
Autissier whose boat capsized in the middle of the Southern Ocean. With
Autissier too far from land for any national rescue services to reach her, a
fellow competitor undertook the rescue effort. Our audience tracked Giovanni
Soldini as he turned back and began a 24-hour, 200-mile battle against
gale-force winds and 30-foot waves to search for and eventually rescue
Autissier. Additionally, the race garnered significant media attention in the
United States when traditional media companies became aware of the story we were
covering live. Traditional media, including the New York Times, National Public
Radio and Dateline NBC, picked up the story of Viktor Yazykov, a Russian
competitor who performed surgery on his own arm in the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean by following a doctor's e-mail instructions. We posted the e-mails as they
were received and were the first media company with pictures of Yazykov during
and following the surgery. We supplied

                                       39
<PAGE>   45

video clips, still photographs and other assets to traditional media companies
seeking to cover the story, demonstrating the distribution of our coverage
possible through traditional media. We believe our ability to cover exciting
sports events as they happen in remote locations, often using first-person
accounts from participants such as Soldini and Yazykov, increases the
attractiveness of our programming to sports fans.

     America's Cup 2000. We have acquired the exclusive, worldwide interactive
media rights for the America's Cup 2000 Match yacht race to be held in February
and March 2000 in Auckland, New Zealand. Sailors first competed for the
America's Cup in 1851, making it one of the oldest international sporting
trophies in continuous competition. The America's Cup race is held approximately
every four years. Syndicates from approximately ten countries will compete in a
challenger elimination series in the fall of 1999, with the winner facing the
host and defending New Zealand team in a best five-of-nine series. See "-- Joint
Ventures and Rights Agreements" for a discussion of our rights relating to
coverage of the America's Cup Match.

  Adventure Sports

     Adventure sports such as climbing expeditions, wilderness challenges and
similar events are particularly well-suited to our style of programming. By
collecting digital media assets from these remote events, we are able to create
entertainment experiences that help to transform these events into spectator
sports. As an emerging category of spectator sports there are few established
branded adventure sports events. Accordingly, our programming for adventure
sports will cover Quokka-originated events as well as currently existing events
such as the Marathon des Sables.

     Our coverage of an adventure sports event will generally include:

     - graphical displays depicting the athletes' positions, whether climbing up
       a mountain or running across a desert, on a 24 hours a day, seven days a
       week basis;

     - vital signs, such as heart-rates, from selected athletes;

     - substantial coverage by the competitors themselves through e-mail, video,
       still images and audio transmissions;

     - a chronicle allowing fans to follow their favorite adventure athletes and
       teams;

     - behind-the-scenes coverage of the rigors and challenges presented by the
       event as well as the event location; and

     - community and electronic commerce areas.

        Marathon des Sables.  We provided exclusive interactive coverage of the
14th Marathon des Sables in April 1999. The Marathon des Sables is a grueling
seven-day footrace that stretches approximately 140 miles through Morocco's
Sahara Desert. During the 14th race, rest stations were available to the
athletes at predetermined locations that ranged from six to 44 miles apart. Each
of the 590 competitors had to carry his or her own backpack containing food,
sleeping gear and anti-venom kits. Water was provided, but was typically limited
to a ration of nine liters a day.

        First Ascent: The Expedition to China's Karakoram Range.  From mid-April
through June 1999, we provided coverage of a crew of seven climbers traveling by
truck and camel across the ancient Silk Route from Beijing to Kashgar. This
3,000 mile Quokka-originated expedition to the mountains in the Karakoram range
in the Chinese Himalayas included several first ascents by our company-selected
team of world-class climbers. The team also searched for a route up Hidden Peak,
the world's 11th tallest mountain. Although a route was not found, we plan to
schedule a second expedition in 2000 to continue the search.

     Great Trango Tower. We have acquired the exclusive, worldwide interactive
media rights to cover a June through August 1999 climbing expedition by the
North Face Climbing Team to and on the unclimbed northwest face of Great Trango
Tower in Pakistan. The northwest face of the Great Trango Tower looms a vertical
mile above the base camp and rises to a peak of approximately 20,500 feet. With
                                       40
<PAGE>   46

live images, audio, video and electronic mail from the climbing team, our
audience will be brought closer to the climbing experience.

AUDIENCE GENERATION

     We are planning to employ a variety of methods to promote www.quokka.com
and to build and retain our audience.

  Building Our Audience

     We plan to build our audience by:

     - launching an aggressive media campaign, using print, outdoor signage,
       radio, television and Internet advertisements to build our brand and
       promote awareness of www.quokka.com and our programming offerings;

     - capitalizing on exposure to a national audience through guaranteed
       promotion by NBC of the Web site being developed by the joint venture we
       formed with NBC Olympics, Inc.;

     - expanding our programming offerings;

     - capitalizing on our association with, and promotion of our coverage
       provided by, governing bodies and rights holders of the sports events we
       cover; and

     - exploiting appropriate syndication opportunities by distributing portions
       of our programming to other Internet sites and traditional media
       companies in exchange for advertisements or other promotional
       consideration designed to direct audience to www.quokka.com.

     Consistent with this plan to build our audience, in May 1999, we entered
into a binding letter of intent with Excite@Home to integrate and promote our
sports programming on the www.excite.com Web site and the @Home broadband
service. Under the letter of intent, we acquired guaranteed levels of promotion
and prominent placement of the Quokka brand on the Internet and broadband
services of Excite@Home. These promotional efforts will link users to content
that we develop and that Excite@Home licenses from us. We anticipate that the
branding and promotional opportunities on the www.excite.com Web site and the
@Home broadband services will help build our audience and increase awareness of
www.quokka.com.

  Retaining Our Audience

     We plan to retain our audience by:

     - continuing to deliver immersive and engaging content;

     - maximizing audience loyalty through community-building activities such as
       virtual competitions, chat rooms, online forums and online transactions;
       and

     - migrating our audience to different channels on our network.

     We believe an important metric for measuring the quality of our audience is
the duration of an average visit to our Web sites. Based on Media Metrix data,
we estimate that users spend an average of approximately 5.8 minutes per visit
on other leading sports-related Web sites. To date, our event programming has
generated average visit durations during the event significantly greater than
this 5.8-minute average.

Our internal statistics presented in the above table have been audited by
Internet Profiles Corporation. The CART race coverage is ongoing and final
results may differ.

  Marketing and Advertising

     As of March 31, 1999, we had 15 full-time employees on our marketing team.
In addition to being responsible for brand marketing, program marketing,
audience research and the coordination of our external public relations efforts,
members of our marketing team also serve as product managers for our media and
derivative products. In 1998, we spent $554,000 on advertising. In 1999, we
expect to raise our advertising expenditures and launch an aggressive media
campaign. We also plan to increase our marketing staff to support our brand
building, electronic commerce and derivative product strategies.

LEVERAGING OUR AUDIENCE AND CONTENT: GENERATING MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS

     We plan to leverage our diverse, global audience and suite of content
offerings to create multiple revenue streams. We believe we can generate revenue
from a variety of sources, including sponsors, advertising, electronic commerce,
derivative product sales, subscription and pay-per-view opportunities and studio
services.

  Digital Entertainment Sponsorships

     We plan to offer multi-year digital entertainment sponsorships to
technology, communications, consumer retail and consumer services companies. We
currently sell sponsorships to certain companies whose products can be
integrated into our technical infrastructure. These companies will form the
Quokka Performance Team. Each member of the Quokka Performance Team will be an
exclusive sponsor within a particular product or service category. In early
1999, we entered into three-year digital entertainment sponsorships with Compaq
Computer Corporation and Computer Associates International, Inc.  Compaq
acquired exclusive sponsorship of our programming in the computer hardware
category. Computer Associates acquired exclusive sponsorship of our programming
in the category covering database management, software, systems or tools and any
software that monitors and maintains information technology production and
delivery systems. Compaq has the right to terminate its sponsorship agreement on
an annual basis if it is dissatisfied with our performance, while Computer
Associates has the right to terminate its sponsorship agreement at the end of
the second year of the agreement.

     Although the benefits associated with Team membership are and will continue
to be custom-designed and consequently may vary from agreement to agreement,
members of the Quokka Performance Team will receive benefits such as the
following:

     - exclusive exposure in their category as part of our digital media
       coverage, including embedded product placement in our programming that
       identifies the sponsor as an enabler of the Quokka Sports Immersion
       experience;

     - traditional sports sponsorship benefits in connection with Quokka-owned
       events, including venue signage, licenses to use event designations in
       their own marketing efforts and access to hospitality suites; and

     - sales and marketing assistance, including targeted lead generation, trade
       show presence, in-store demonstrations using our digital content and
       sales presentations demonstrating the Team member's contribution to the
       Quokka Sports Immersion experience.

     In addition to the Quokka Performance Team, we plan to create additional
"Teams" with similar custom-designed sponsor benefits in order to build
sponsorship revenues. For example, consumer retail goods and services companies
could become part of an Athlete's Team, covering equipment, sports clothing and
similar items of interest to athletes of all abilities. We developed our Team
model for digital entertainment sponsorships as we identified the various ways
we provided value to sponsors of our early Web sites, such as Tandem (which has
since been acquired by Compaq Computer Corporation), which accounted for
approximately 52% of our revenues in 1998, and CompuServe, which accounted for
                                       42
<PAGE>   48

approximately 16% of our revenues in 1998. We plan to continually evolve our
Team model in order to better meet sponsors' needs.

     Because sponsorship is already part of the sports industry, many sports
governing bodies or other rights holders for the events we cover will have
pre-existing sponsorship relationships. We believe these pre-existing
sponsorships will provide us with ready-made sales opportunities. In some
circumstances, however, pre-existing sponsorships associated with specific
events may limit the pool of prospective companies we can approach regarding
sponsorship sales in connection with these events.

  Advertising Opportunities

     We plan to generate additional revenues from banner advertisements that are
prominently displayed throughout our digital sports entertainment network. In
selling banner advertisements, we plan to target companies seeking to reach a
global sports audience. Our experience with the Whitbread race demonstrated that
our distinctive coverage can attract a significant loyal and global audience
representing a demographic base sought by Internet advertisers and sponsors from
the consumer-products industry. We believe that by delivering an audience that
returns to our site frequently and stays for an extended period of time, we can
provide additional value to our sponsors and advertisers and generate
advertising revenues on a per user basis in excess of that currently achieved
elsewhere in the Internet industry.

  Electronic Commerce Opportunities

     We plan to develop electronic commerce opportunities on our Web sites to
generate additional revenues, as well as enhance our user experience. As
electronic commerce continues to grow, we expect that sports fans will
increasingly seek sports merchandise, event gear and other equipment over the
Internet and other digital distribution systems. We believe audiences of each of
our channels provide a receptive market for goods relating to sailing, motor
sports, the Olympics and adventure sports as well as general sports merchandise.
In the future, we plan to offer event-branded gear, event-related gear, Quokka-
branded products and our derivative products. In addition, we hope to offer
products produced by our digital entertainment sponsors that we use in creating
and producing the Quokka Sports Immersion experience. We will seek to make the
electronic shopping experience as immersive as possible so that it complements
the overall look and feel of our digital media programming. Additionally, by
providing access to high-quality sporting and events-related products through
our site or other digital distribution systems, we believe that we will be
expanding the overall Quokka experience for our audience.

  Derivative Products: Leveraging Digital Assets

     We plan to repurpose our digital content for distribution through
derivative products, such as books, magazines, other publications, videos and
screen savers. We believe that our audience will be a receptive market for such
derivative products and that such products will also appeal to people who are
not yet part of our audience. One of our initial derivative products is a book
containing page views from the Whitbread race that tells the inside story of the
race from beginning to end and maps each competitor's progress throughout the
race. Additionally, we believe that derivative products will provide additional
value to our digital entertainment sponsors and can be used to gather important
information regarding our audience. For example, we created a screen saver that
embedded our sponsors' logos within digital media from the Whitbread
competition. Approximately 40,000 users downloaded the screen saver for free in
exchange for providing valuable, in-depth demographic information.

  Subscription and Pay-Per-View Opportunities

     As broadband interactive systems, such as cable and satellite systems,
proliferate and users are able to access greater volumes of streaming video and
audio in interactive settings, we believe we may be able to distribute our
distinctive sports content through subscription services and that certain sports
events or coverage depths may be appropriate for distribution on a pay-per-view
basis.

                                       43
<PAGE>   49

  Studio Services

     We believe our studio services, which have included designing the official
Web site for the International Olympic Committee, have provided opportunities to
build strategic relationships with key players in the sports and sports media
industries. Our studio services have been primarily strategic in nature, and we
believe that revenues from studio services are likely to decrease as a
percentage of total revenues in the future.

        International Olympic Committee.  We produced www.olympic.org, the
official site of the International Olympic Committee and have advised the
International Olympic Committee on interactive rights and branding on the
Internet. Creation of the www.olympic.org site was a multi-phase project aimed
at establishing a significant online presence for the Olympic movement. This
Olympic site provides a store of information on Olympic history, tradition and
current events. Our work for the International Olympic Committee accounted for
more than 12% of our revenues in 1998.

  Our Sales Team

     As of March 31, 1999, our sales team consisted of thirteen full-time
employees, twelve of whom focus on selling sponsorships. Because of the
strategic and customized nature of our sponsorship sales, we plan to add
additional members to our sponsorship sales force. In connection with NBC/Quokka
Ventures' coverage of the Olympics, Quokka and NBC Olympics, Inc. will jointly
sell sponsorships for the joint venture's Olympic Web site. Additionally, we
plan to expand our sales force significantly in order to grow advertising sales
and develop our media and derivative products sales. We may also use third party
vendors to sell banner ads on our site.

THE QUOKKA SPORTS PLATFORM

     The Quokka Sports Platform is a proprietary set of processes and
facilitating technologies that enables us to collect digital assets from sports
events and produce and deliver our distinctive programming. We believe this set
of processes and technologies provides a robust and efficient method that
facilitates real-time production of our sports entertainment programming and
maximizes the long-term value of the digital assets that Quokka collects and
produces. Our current programming is produced using the Quokka Sports Platform,
which is continuously being enhanced and improved to accommodate our expanding
requirements.

     At the highest level, the Quokka Sports Platform is organized into six
segments:
[GRAPHIC TITLED "QUOKKA SPORTS PLATFORM" AND DEPICTING
DATA FLOW THROUGH THE FOLLOWING SIX STAGES OF THE QUOKKA SPORTS
PLATFORM: (1) COLLECTION; (2) TRANSMISSION; (3) PRODUCTION;
(4) DISTRIBUTION; (5) DELIVERY; AND (6) CLIENT.]

        Collection.  Collection is the process of capturing data at event
venues. Collection is the point at which the Quokka Sports Platform begins and
the raw data from venues become digital media assets, the fundamental building
blocks of the Quokka Sports Platform. Digital media assets consist of individual
units of digital content, such as photographic images, video streams or e-mails
from an athlete as well as information about the assets, such as author or
physical storage location.

     Devices capturing wide-ranging data are already a part of many sports. For
example, a world-class yacht is equipped with over 40 sensors that track
multiple variables such as rig tension, rudder position and wind speed. Over 80
attributes of a CART car's performance are measured, including fuel level,
engine temperature and engine RPMs. Athletes use this feedback to hone their
skills and track their performance. We seek access to relevant portions of this
data either directly by connecting to the sensors monitoring the actual
information or indirectly through our contractual relationships with the
governing body of an event, such as CART. We also seek access to data by
securing voluntary cooperation from athletes.

        Remote Production and Transmission.  Collected digital media assets are
prepared for transmission and then transmitted to our production studio. In our
remote production process, we define event-specific data tags that indicate the
type of data included in a transmission in much the same way desktop icons
indicate whether a file is a word processing document or electronic spreadsheet.
Remote production teams also control which assets are captured, formatted and
transmitted from the event and manage physical resources necessary to accomplish
this task. Tagged data is then transmitted to our production studio over
Internet Protocol networks, using satellite data communications, high-bandwidth
wide-area networks or other communications technologies.

        Production.  Transmissions are stored at our production studio in San
Francisco on receipt. Our event producers, directors and their multi-disciplined
teams use these transmitted digital assets to create multiple visual and audio
presentations. Aided by automation technologies, digital media assets received
from the sports venue are combined with previously stored assets or original
material created by our staff of designers, writers, audio specialists and
photographers. In advance of each event, these teams have

                                       45
<PAGE>   51

developed story-telling templates that enable the action to be experienced from
the athlete's perspective and drive the audience to explore the site further.

        Distribution and Delivery.  Distribution is the process of transporting
our content from our production studio through high-speed interactive systems to
entities that provide delivery, while delivery is the process of ultimately
reaching the end user. We currently distribute our Quokka Sports Immersion
programming through www.quokka.com over the Internet. Accordingly, delivery is
accomplished primarily through Internet service providers who provide end-users
with access to the Internet through their computers. We are also designing our
programming to exploit the technological opportunities presented by other
interactive systems, such as DSL, cable modem and satellite. If we ultimately
employ these distribution methods, our future delivery partners are likely to
include the providers of DSL service, interactive cable services, or satellite
providers. End-users accessing our programming through these systems in the
future may use computers or ultimately other interactive viewing devices such as
interactive televisions. We have also distributed our content to traditional
broadcast and print media. We believe these traditional media may serve as
additional distribution outlets for our rich digital programming.

JOINT VENTURES AND RIGHTS AGREEMENTS

     We plan to secure rights to cover sporting events through a variety of
methods, including direct acquisition and the formation of joint ventures with
rights holders or other entities having established relationships with rights
holders. We have experience with both methods. To date, we have acquired the
rights to events such as FIM Motorcycle racing directly from the rights holders
and we have entered into a joint venture with NBC Olympics, Inc. in connection
with the Olympic Games and a joint venture with Forsythe Racing, Inc. in
connection with CART.

        Joint Venture with NBC.  In February 1999, we formed NBC/Quokka
Ventures, LLC with NBC Olympics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of National
Broadcasting Company, Inc. In connection with the formation of the joint
venture, we contracted with the joint venture to provide the services necessary
for the joint venture to provide interactive digital coverage. Consequently, we
expect that the joint venture's interactive digital coverage of the Olympics on
its Web site will showcase Quokka's distinctive style of programming and will
complement NBC's television coverage.

     NBC Olympics, Inc. granted the joint venture the following interactive
media rights, subject to limitations, in connection with the Olympic Games and
certain United States qualifying events through 2004:

     - United States interactive rights to incorporate limited highlights of NBC
       video into its coverage;

     - an exclusive license to produce the official NBC interactive media
       coverage of the Games;

     - a license to incorporate still photographs and sequential still
       photographs taken from video produced from the Games by NBC Olympics into
       the joint venture's coverage;

     - a license to incorporate into the joint venture's coverage historical
       Games footage, non-competition video and all research and other
       materials, whether text, audio, video, still footage, written or fixed in
       any other medium relating to the Games produced by NBC Olympics;

     - the right to distribute the joint venture's coverage in interactive media
       throughout the United States; and

     - a license to use the composite NBC/Olympic logo on the joint venture's
       Web site in connection with the production, operation, promotion,
       marketing and distribution of the joint venture's coverage of the Games.

     In order to protect its broadcast rights and brand, however, NBC Olympics,
Inc. can restrict the joint venture's use of any of the foregoing interactive
media rights if:

     - NBC lacks the ability to grant such rights to the joint venture as a
       result of contractual limitations or restrictions imposed by, or
       conflicts with any legal rights held by the International Olympic
                                       46
<PAGE>   52

       Committee or any other person or entity possessing intellectual property
       or other rights in the still photographs, sequential still photographs or
       video, whether Games, non-competition or historical;

     - a use conflicts with NBC's current sponsors or advertisers or the
       sponsors or advertisers of the International Olympic Committee, United
       States Olympic Committee, Sydney Organizing Committee of the Olympic
       Games, Salt Lake Olympic Organizing Committee or the 2004 Games
       Organizing Committee;

     - the digital assets are involved in any transaction by us or the joint
       venture with any NBC Competitor, as defined below;

     - a use competes with NBC's broadcast, cable or direct broadcast satellite
       coverage of the Games; or

     - a use violates NBC's, NBC Sports', the International Olympic Committee's,
       the United States Olympic Committee's or other Olympic organizations'
       editorial policies and practices.


     NBC/Quokka Ventures, LLC is owned 51% by us and 49% by NBC Olympics, Inc.,
and management is vested in a board of directors, three of whom are currently
appointed by us and two of whom are currently appointed by NBC Olympics, Inc.
Under the terms of the venture's operating agreement, Quokka is solely
responsible for making cash capital contributions to the venture. The terms of
the operating agreement for the venture require us to make quarterly capital
contributions in amounts necessary to fund the venture's operations on an
ongoing basis in accordance with the annual operating plan. Accordingly, the
amounts and timing of these capital contributions will be based on the actual
activities of the venture and are unknown at this time. Additionally, we issued
warrants to purchase 2,100,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. Based on the
Noreen-Wolfson fair value model with a volatility of 70%, these warrants have a
fair value of $4.9 million. NBC Olympics, Inc.'s obligation to the joint venture
is to contribute interactive media rights as described above as well as on-air
promotion of the site, access to NBC personalities and research.


     NBC Olympics, Inc. has the right to terminate the joint venture in the
event an NBC Competitor:

     - merges or otherwise consolidates with us in a transaction where we are
       not the surviving entity;

     - becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of our outstanding equity
       securities;

     - becomes entitled to elect, appoint or replace a member or members of our
       board of directors unless NBC Olympics, Inc. is also granted the same
       right; or

     - acquires all or substantially all of our assets.

For these purposes, an "NBC Competitor" includes any media company that is
significantly engaged in any of the primary businesses of NBC Olympics, Inc.,
National Broadcasting Company, Inc. or its subsidiaries or any
telecommunications, Internet or similar company that is significantly engaged in
any of the primary businesses of NBC Olympics, Inc., National Broadcasting
Company, Inc., its subsidiaries or Snap! LLC or successor entities. However, an
NBC Competitor shall not include any entity identified by Quokka in writing to
NBC Olympics, Inc. that NBC Olympics, Inc. does not designate as an NBC
Competitor in writing to Quokka within 30 days of our written notice.

        Joint Venture with Forsythe Racing, Inc.  In January 1999, we
established CART Digital Media Enterprises, LLC a joint venture with Forsythe
Racing, Inc. Forsythe owns two of the teams that compete as part of the
Championship Auto Racing Teams circuit and brings to the joint venture racing
expertise as well as long-standing relationships with suppliers, teams and event
promoters in the auto racing world.

     CART Digital Media Enterprises, LLC is owned 50% by us and 50% by Forsythe
Racing, Inc., and management is vested in a board of managers, two of whom are
appointed by us and two of whom are appointed by Forsythe Racing, Inc. We expect
to make capital contributions in order to meet our 50% share of the venture's
need for operating capital. Accordingly, the amounts and timing of these capital
contributions will be based on the actual activities of the venture and are
unknown at this time.

                                       47
<PAGE>   53

     In March 1999, the joint venture secured the exclusive worldwide
interactive media rights for all CART events through December 31, 2003 with a
right of first negotiation beyond that date. In connection with this digital
coverage, the joint venture also secured exclusive worldwide rights to:

     - use CART's marks in its digital coverage as well as in connection with
       any derivative products;

     - use data and content from the events;

     - syndicate content; and

     - sell commercial partnerships, advertising, official merchandise,
       electronic commerce products and services, official photographs and
       derivative products.

The right to sell advertising and commercial partnerships is subject to
obligations to honor category exclusivity rights of current CART sponsors or to
first negotiate with those sponsors and the right to sell derivative products
and syndicate content is subject to CART's reasonable approval. The right to
sell official merchandise, official photographs and other electronic commerce
products and services is subject to receiving approval of other third parties.

     CART has the ability to terminate the agreement if:

     - the joint venture materially breaches any term of the agreement,
       including failure to pay amounts owing under the agreement, subject to
       notice and an opportunity to cure;

     - the joint venture fails to maintain state of the art quality and
       technological enhancements, subject to notice and an opportunity to cure;

     - the Web site fails to achieve certain minimum levels of traffic, subject
       to notice and an opportunity to cure;

     - if the joint venture or we provide similar services to an open wheel
       professional auto racing sanctioning body, league or series currently
       domiciled in the United States that promotes products or services
       competitive with those of CART; or

     - if more than 49% of the ownership or beneficial interest in the joint
       venture or in Quokka is transferred, sold or assigned to an entity whose
       products or services are competitive to or in conflict with those of
       CART.


     We issued to Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. warrants to purchase
76,366 shares of Series C preferred stock. Based on the Noreen-Wolfson fair
value model with a volatility of 70%, these warrants have a fair value of
$400,841.


  FIM Motorcycle Racing

     We have acquired from Dorna Promocion del Deporte, S.A. the exclusive,
worldwide interactive media rights for all FIM Road Racing World Championship
Grand Prix events from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2003. In connection
with our coverage rights, we have secured the exclusive worldwide rights to:

     - use FIM Motorcycling World Championships' trademarks as part of our
       coverage as well as in connection with any derivative products;

     - use data and content from the events;

     - syndicate content; and

     - sell sponsorships, advertising, official merchandise, electronic commerce
       products and services and derivative products.

Our right to sell advertising and sponsorships is subject to obligations to
honor category exclusivity rights of current FIM Motorcycling World
Championships sponsors or to first negotiate with those sponsors and our right
to sell derivative products is subject to Dorna's reasonable approval. Our right
to syndicate
                                       48
<PAGE>   54

content is subject to a restriction that certain assets may not be syndicated
alone without Dorna's consent. Our right to sell official merchandise and other
electronic commerce products and services is subject to receiving approval of
certain other third parties. Dorna has the ability to terminate the agreement if
we fail to pay the required rights fee.

  Around Alone

     We have acquired from Great Adventures, Ltd. the exclusive, worldwide
interactive media rights for the Around Alone race through December 31, 2001
with the option to extend the term for two additional four-year periods. In
connection with our coverage rights, we also have secured worldwide rights to:

     - use Around Alone's trademarks in our coverage as well as in connection
       with any derivative products;

     - use data and content from the events; and

     - sell sponsorships, advertising, official merchandise, certain electronic
       commerce products and services, official photographs, video and audio and
       derivative products.

Our right to sell advertising and sponsorships is subject to certain obligations
to approach current Around Alone sponsors. Our right to sell official
merchandise, official photographs, video and audio and certain electronic
commerce products and services is subject to receiving approval of certain other
third parties. Great Adventures has the ability to terminate the agreement if we
fail to pay any revenue sharing earned.

  America's Cup 2000

     We have acquired the exclusive, worldwide interactive media rights for the
America's Cup 2000 Match yacht race to be held in February and March 2000 in
Auckland, New Zealand. In connection with our coverage rights, we also have
secured rights to:

     - create and host the exclusive official America's Cup 2000 and Team New
       Zealand Web sites;

     - use trademarks and logos of America's Cup 2000 and Team New Zealand on
       the Web sites we develop;

     - collect and distribute data and content from the race; and

     - sell and retain the revenues from sponsorship, advertising and commercial
       arrangements to sell official merchandise.

     In selling advertising and sponsorships, we are required to avoid conflicts
with existing sponsors of America's Cup 2000 or Team New Zealand. The agreement
can be terminated if we materially breach its terms, which could include our
failure to pay amounts we owe under the agreement.

  Commitments Relating to Rights Acquisition

     In connection with securing the rights to cover various events, we agree to
pay rights holders minimum annual guaranteed amounts, profit participation or
up-front fees, or a combination of these payments. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a discussion of our future
aggregate financial obligations relating to existing rights agreements.

COMPETITION

     The market for Internet services and products is relatively new, intensely
competitive and rapidly changing. Since the Internet's commercialization in the
early 1990's, the number of Web sites on the Internet competing for consumers'
attention and spending has proliferated. We expect that competition will
continue to intensify.

                                       49
<PAGE>   55

     We believe that our programming does not compete directly with traditional
media, primarily because traditional media frequently do not provide substantial
coverage of the sports that we cover and because we believe our programming can
substantially enhance coverage provided by traditional media.

     We expect that the number of our direct and indirect competitors will
increase in the future. We anticipate that, as the Internet and other
interactive systems, such as cable and satellite systems, converge with
traditional television broadcasting and traditional cable networks, significant
competition may come from the cable arena, including such sports-oriented cable
networks as the ESPN networks.

     We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting and
retaining audience are the ability to offer compelling and entertaining sports
programming, the depth, breadth and timeliness of coverage and brand
recognition. We believe that the principal competitive factors in securing and
retaining long-term digital rights to cover sporting events include the ability
to do the following:

     - offer high-quality coverage;

     - establish and maintain relationships with rights holders;

     - deliver an attractive audience demographics;

     - maintain credibility as a leading and enduring company; and

     - pay substantial rights fees.

We may be unable to compete successfully with respect to one or all of these
factors. To review the risks we face from competitors, see "Risk Factors -- The
online digital sports entertainment industry is intensely competitive, and we
may be unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors."

INFRASTRUCTURE, OPERATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY

     The www.quokka.com site is hosted at Frontier GlobalCenter in Sunnyvale,
California. All of our network operations are controlled from our headquarters
in San Francisco, California. We provide multiple Web servers that run the
Microsoft Internet Information Server on the Microsoft Windows NT Server
operating system and Compaq server hardware. Internet access is maintained
through Frontier GlobalCenter.

     The network infrastructure is composed of Cisco Systems, Inc. products in
redundant configurations. The computer and networking equipment used to operate
our Web sites is configured with multiple power supplies. Frontier GlobalCenter
provides a generator with up to two weeks of backup power.

     Our operations depend upon our ability to protect systems against damage
from fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins,
computer viruses, hacker attacks and other events beyond our control. A disaster
or malfunction that disables either our San Francisco production facility or
Frontier Global Center could interrupt our programming completely, limit the
quantity or timeliness of updates to our productions or limit the speed at which
our audience can access our content. Although we do not currently have a
documented disaster recovery plan, we intend to create one.

     The market for digital media is characterized by rapid growth, rapidly
changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent announcements of
new developments. To be successful, we must adapt to our rapidly changing
environment by continually improving the performance, features and reliability
of our services as well as adapting to new technologies. We may also incur
substantial costs if we need to modify our programming or distribution processes
to adapt to these changes. Our business could be adversely affected if we incur
significant costs without adequate results or cannot adapt to these changes.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

     We regard the protection of our copyrights, service marks, trademarks,
trade dress and trade secrets as critical to our success. We rely on a
combination of copyright, trademark, service mark, patent and trade secret laws
and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and
services. The

                                       50
<PAGE>   56

measures taken by us to protect our intellectual property may not prevent
misappropriation of our technology or deter independent third-party development
of similar technologies.

     We also cannot guarantee that infringement or other claims will not be
asserted or prosecuted against us in the future whether resulting from our
internally developed intellectual property or licenses or content from third
parties. For a description of our intellectual property practices and potential
risks, see "Risk Factors -- We may be unable to adequately protect or enforce
our intellectual property rights, and our efforts to do so could be
time-consuming and expensive and could divert management attention from
executing our business strategy."

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     We are subject to the same federal, state and local laws as other
businesses on the Internet. Today there are relatively few laws directed towards
online services. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the
Internet and other online services, it is possible that a number of laws and
regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet or other online
services. For a description of risks we face from regulation of the Internet,
see "Risk Factors -- Changes in regulation of the Internet could limit our
business prospects."

     We are qualified to do business in six states in the United States, and
failure by us to comply with foreign laws or to qualify as a foreign corporation
in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and
penalties for the failure to qualify and could result in the inability to
enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. Any such new legislation or regulation,
or the application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not
currently apply to our business, could have a negative effect on our business.

EMPLOYEES

     As of March 31, 1999, we had 186 employees, including 84 in production and
programming, 41 in engineering, software development and network operations, 15
in marketing, 13 in sales and 33 in administration, which includes rights
acquisition and other business services. We consider our relations with our
employees to be good. We believe that our future success will depend in part on
our continued ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly
qualified technical and managerial personnel and upon the continued service of
our senior management and key creative personnel, none of whom is bound by an
employment agreement. Our growth has required us to continually hire, train and
manage new employees at a rapid rate, although competition for qualified
personnel in our industry and geographical location is intense. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in attracting, integrating, retaining and
motivating a sufficient number of qualified personnel to conduct our business in
the future.

FACILITIES

     Our principal administrative, marketing, production and research and
engineering facilities are located in approximately 41,000 square feet of office
space in San Francisco, California under a lease that expires in March 2006. We
have entered into four additional office leases in San Francisco, California
covering an aggregate of approximately 140,000 square feet at four additional
sites to accommodate additional personnel. Approximately 88,000 square feet of
this space is not expected to be available until Spring 2000. We have a 168
square-foot office in Troy, Michigan, a 400 square-foot office in La Jolla,
California and a 208 square-foot office in Schaumburg, Illinois for local sales
activities. Finally, we have entered into a long-term lease covering
approximately 5,000 square feet of office space in London, England which will
serve as the center for our international operations. We are actively seeking
additional space.

BOARD COMPOSITION

     Upon the completion of this offering, Quokka will have authorized seven
directors. In accordance with the terms of our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws, each of which will become effective upon the completion of this
offering, the board of directors will be divided into three classes, Class I,
Class II and Class III, with each class serving staggered three-year terms. Upon
the completion of this offering, the members of the classes will be divided as
follows:

     - Class I: Messrs. Bertrand, Pieper and Ramadan;

     - Class II: Messrs. Bregman and Shennan; and

     - Class III: Messrs. Weinman and Williams.

     The Class I directors will stand for re-election or election at the 2000
annual meeting of stockholders. The Class II directors will stand for
re-election or election at the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders and the Class
III directors will stand for re-election or election at the 2002 annual meeting
of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders after the initial
classification, the successors to directors whose terms will then expire will be
elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third
annual meeting following the election or special meeting held in lieu thereof.

     Our certificate of incorporation provides that the authorized number of
directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Any
additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors
will be distributed between the three classes so that, as nearly as possible,
each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of
the board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in
the control or management of Quokka. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Quokka is
subject to Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, all directors
shall be designated of the same class, and such directors shall be elected by
cumulative voting if any stockholder

                                       56
<PAGE>   62

requests cumulative voting. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Section 2115"
for additional information relating to the effect of Section 2115 on Quokka.

     Directors of Quokka may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of our voting stock and such directors may be removed
without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of
our voting stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Quokka is subject to Section
2115 of the California General Corporation Law, unless every director is
removed, no single director may be removed without cause when the votes cast
against such director's removal would be sufficient to elect that director if
voted cumulatively. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Section 2115" for
additional information relating to the effect of Section 2115 on Quokka.

    employment. Options expire ten years from the date of grant.

(2) Based on an aggregate of 2,273,000 shares subject to options granted to
    employees of Quokka in 1998, including named executive officers.

(3) The exercise price per share of each option granted was equal to the fair
    market value of the common stock as determined by the board of directors on
    the date of the grant. In determining the fair market value of the stock
    granted on the grant date, the board of directors considered, among other
    things, Quokka's absolute and relative levels of revenues and other
    operating results and the state of Quokka's strategic relationships.


(4) Potential realizable values are computed by (a) multiplying the number of
    shares of common stock subject to a given option by an assumed initial
    public offering price of $12.00 per share, (b) assuming that the aggregate
    stock value derived from that calculation compounds at the annual 5% or 10%
    rate shown in the table for the entire ten-year term of the option and (c)
    subtracting from that result the aggregate option exercise price. The 5% and
    10% assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation are mandated by the
    rules of the SEC and do not represent Quokka's estimate or projection of
    future common stock prices.


(5) Excludes 300,000 shares subject to options granted in March 1999. Such
    options are subject to the same provisions regarding vesting as described in
    footnote (1) above, expire on March 15, 2009 and were granted at an exercise
    price of $8.00 per share.

(6) Excludes 250,000 shares subject to options granted in February 1999. Such
    options are subject to the same provisions regarding vesting as described in
    footnote (1) above, expire on February 25, 2009 and were granted at an
    exercise price of $7.00 per share.

 AGGREGATE OPTION EXERCISES IN 1998 AND YEAR-END OPTION VALUES AT DECEMBER 31,
                                      1998

     The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock
acquired and the value realized upon exercise of stock options during 1998 and
the number of shares of common stock subject to exercisable and unexercisable
stock options held as of December 31, 1998 by each of the named executive
officers. Value at fiscal year end is measured as the difference between the
exercise price and the fair market value on December 31, 1998.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

  1997 Equity Incentive Plan

        General.  In February 1997, the board of directors adopted, and the
stockholders approved, the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan. The incentive plan was
amended in September 1998 and March 1999. In April 1999 the Board of Directors
adopted, and in May 1999 the stockholders approved, an amendment and restatement
of the incentive plan. An aggregate of 13,350,000 shares of common stock
currently are authorized for issuance under the incentive plan; provided,
however, that on January 31 of each year, commencing on January 31, 2000, the
share reserve under the incentive plan will automatically be increased by
1,500,000 shares. As of June 9, 1999, options to purchase a total of 8,276,436
shares of common stock were held by all participants under the Incentive Plan
and options to purchase 4,729,801 remained available for grant. The incentive
plan provides for the grant of:

     - incentive stock options, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of
       1986, as amended, to employees (including officers);

     - nonstatutory stock options;

     - restricted stock purchase awards; and

     - stock bonuses to employees (including officers), directors and
       consultants.

        Administration.  The incentive plan is administered by the board of
directors. The board of directors may delegate authority to administer the
incentive plan to the compensation committee. The board of directors determines
recipients, types of options to be granted, number of shares subject to the
option vesting, and the exercisability of options granted. The board of
directors also determines the exercise price of options granted. The exercise
price for an incentive stock option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price for a
nonstatutory stock option cannot be less than 85% of the fair market value of
the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the incentive plan
vest at the rate specified in the option agreement.

     In general, the term of stock options granted under the incentive plan may
not exceed 10 years. Unless the terms of an optionee's stock option agreement
provide for earlier termination, in the event an optionee's service relationship
with us, or any affiliate of ours, ceases due to disability or death, the
optionee (or his beneficiary) may exercise any vested options up to twelve
months (eighteen months in the event of death) after the date such service
relationship ends. If an optionee's relationship with us, or any affiliate of
ours, ceases for any reason other than disability or death, the optionee may
(unless the terms of the stock option agreement provide for earlier termination)
exercise any vested options up to three months from cessation of service.

     Generally, an optionee may not transfer a stock option other than by will
or the laws of descent or distribution unless the optionee holds a nonstatutory
stock option that provides otherwise. However, an optionee may designate a
beneficiary who may exercise the option following the optionee's death.

        Option Grants.  Incentive stock options may be granted only to our
employees. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of
shares of our common stock with respect to which incentive stock options are
exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year under all
of our stock plans may not exceed $100,000. No incentive stock option, and prior
to our stock being publicly traded no nonstatutory stock option, may be granted
to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of Quokka or any of
its affiliates unless the following conditions are satisfied:

     - the option exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value
       of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant; and

     - the term of the incentive stock option award must not exceed five years
       from the date of grant.

                                       60
<PAGE>   66

     When we become subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (which denies a deduction to publicly held corporations for certain
compensation paid to specified employees in a taxable year to the extent that
the compensation exceeds $1.0 million), no person may be granted options under
the incentive plan covering more than 2,000,000 shares of common stock in any
calendar year. Shares subject to stock options that have expired or otherwise
terminated without having been exercised in full again become available for the
grant of awards under the incentive plan. Under its general authority to grant
options, the board of directors has the implicit authority to reprice
outstanding options or to offer optionees the opportunity to replace outstanding
options with new options for the same or a different number of shares. Both the
original and new options will count toward the Section 162(m) limitation.

        Restricted Stock and Stock Bonus Awards.  Prior to our stock being
publicly traded, the purchase price for each restricted stock award granted must
be at least 100% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on
the date of the award or at the time the purchase is consummated. For restricted
stock awards made on or after the date that our stock is publicly traded, the
purchase price for such awards must be at least 85% of the fair market value of
the stock subject to the option on the date of the award or at the time the
purchase is consummated. Rights to acquire shares under a stock bonus or
restricted stock bonus agreement may not be transferred other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution and are exercisable during the life of the
optionee only by the optionee. Certain restricted stock awards made following
the completion of this offering may be otherwise transferable if the stock bonus
agreement so provides.

        Changes in Control.  In the event of certain changes in control, all
outstanding options under the incentive plan either will be assumed, continued
or substituted for by any surviving entity. If the surviving entity determines
not to assume, continue or substitute for such awards, the vesting provisions of
such stock awards will be accelerated and such stock awards will be terminated
upon the change in control if not previously exercised. In the event of an
acquisition pursuant to Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act of securities
representing 50% of our combined voting power, the vesting provisions of stock
awards will either be assumed, continued or substituted by Quokka (or a
controlling affiliate of Quokka) or accelerated immediately upon the occurrence
of such event and such stock awards will be terminated upon such acquisition if
not previously exercised.

  1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan

        General.  In April 1999, the board of directors adopted, and in May 1999
the stockholders approved, the 1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan to
provide for the automatic grant of options to purchase shares of common stock to
our non-employee directors. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that
may be issued pursuant to options granted under the directors' plan is 450,000
shares.

        Administration and Terms.  The board of directors shall administer the
directors' plan unless and until it delegates administration to a committee.
Options granted under the directors' plan are generally subject to the following
terms:

     - the exercise price of options granted will be equal to the fair market
       value of the common stock on the date of grant;

     - no option granted may be exercised after the expiration of 3 years from
       the date it was granted;

     - options granted are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of
       descent and distribution and are exercisable during the life of the
       optionee only by the optionee;

     - an optionee may designate a beneficiary who may exercise the option
       following the optionee's death; and

     - an optionee whose service relationship with Quokka or any affiliate
       (whether as a non-employee director of Quokka or subsequently as an
       employee, director or consultant of either Quokka or an affiliate) ceases
       for any reason may exercise vested options for the term provided in the
       option agreement (12 months generally, 18 months in the event of death).
                                       61
<PAGE>   67

        Automatic Grants.  Upon the completion of this offering, subject to
certain exceptions, each non-employee director will automatically be granted an
option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock. Any individual who becomes a
non-employee director after this offering will automatically receive this
initial grant upon being elected to the board of directors. On June 1 of each
year, commencing in 2000, any person who is then a non-employee director will
automatically will be granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of common
stock, provided that if any non-employee director that had not served in that
capacity for the entire period since the preceding June 1, then the number of
shares subject to the annual grant shall be reduced, pro rata, for each full
quarter the person did not serve during the previous period. Initial grants and
annual grants vest and become immediately exercisable upon grant.

  1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        General.  In April 1999, the board of directors adopted, and in May 1999
the stockholders approved, the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, authorizing
the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights
granted to our employees or to employees of any affiliate of ours. The purchase
plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the
meaning of Section 423 of the Code. As of the date hereof, no shares of common
stock have been purchased under the purchase plan.

        Administration.  The purchase plan shall be administered by the board of
directors, but such administration may be delegated to the compensation
committee. The purchase plan provides a means by which employees may purchase
our common stock through payroll deductions. The purchase plan is implemented by
offerings of rights to eligible employees. Generally, all regular employees,
including executive officers, who work at least 20 hours per week and are
customarily employed by Quokka or by an affiliate of Quokka for at least five
months per calendar year may participate in the purchase plan and may authorize
payroll deductions of up to 15% of their earnings for the purchase of stock
under the Purchase Plan. Under the plan, we may specify offerings with a
duration of not more than 27 months, and may specify shorter purchase periods
within each offering. The first offering will begin on the effective date of
this offering and be approximately 12 months in duration with purchases
occurring every six months. Unless otherwise determined by the board of
directors, common stock is purchased for accounts of employees participating in
the purchase plan at a price per share equal to the lower of:

     - 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date
       of commencement of participation in this offering; or

     - 85% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date
       of purchase.

        Limitations.  Eligible employees may be granted rights only if the
rights, together with any other rights granted under employee stock purchase
plans, do not permit such employee's rights to purchase stock to accrue at a
rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock for each
calendar year in which such rights are outstanding. In addition, an employee may
purchase no more than 2,000 shares during any one offering. No employee shall be
eligible for the grant of any rights under the Purchase Plan if immediately
after such rights are granted, such employee has voting power over 5% or more of
our outstanding capital stock (measured by vote or value).

  401(k) Plan

     We sponsor the Quokka Sports, Inc. 401(k) Plan, a defined contribution plan
intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. All employees are eligible to participate and may enter the 401(k) plan
as of the first day of any month. Participants may make pre-tax contributions to
the 401(k) plan of up to 15% of their eligible earnings, subject to a
statutorily prescribed annual limit. We do not make matching contributions. Each
participant's contributions, and the corresponding investment earnings, are
generally not taxable to the participants until withdrawn. Participant
contributions are held in trust as required by law. Individual participants may
direct the trustee to invest their accounts in authorized investment
alternatives.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     In April 1999, we entered into a key employee agreement with Mr. Saralegui,
under which Mr. Saralegui is compensated at a rate of $275,000 per year, paid on
a semi-monthly basis. The agreement also provides for an stock option grant,
pursuant to our 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares
our common stock at an exercise price of $8.50 per share. To the extent
permissible under applicable IRS rules, this grant will be an incentive stock
option grant. In the event Mr. Saralegui is terminated without cause, he is
entitled to receive from us an amount equal to twelve months of his base salary
as well as acceleration of a portion of his unvested options under certain
circumstances.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

     The following description of our capital stock and material provisions of
our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which will become effective upon
the completion of this offering, is a summary only and is qualified in its
entirety by the complete provisions of the certificate of incorporation and
bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of
which this prospectus is a part.

     Upon the closing of this offering, our authorized capital stock will
consist of 110,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

COMMON STOCK

     Upon the closing of this offering, each outstanding share of non-voting
common stock will be automatically converted to voting common stock and, at such
time, no share of common stock, whether previously designated as non-voting
common stock or voting common stock, will be subject to any further conversion
right. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject
to redemption.

     Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock
outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are
entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefor at such
times and in such amounts as the board of directors may from time to time
determine. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common
stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Unless Section
2115 of the California Corporations Code is applicable to us, holders of common
stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election
of directors and, as a consequence, minority stockholders will not be able to
elect directors on the basis of their votes alone. Upon a liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Quokka, the assets legally available for
distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the
common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time
after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding preferred
stock and payment of other claims of creditors. Each outstanding share of common
stock is, and all shares of common stock to be outstanding upon completion of
this offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

     Upon the closing of this offering, all outstanding shares of Series A,
Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock will be converted into
28,258,239 shares of common stock. Following the conversion, the shares
converted will be retired from the number of authorized shares of preferred
stock.

     Upon the closing of this offering, the board of directors will have the
authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time
the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the rights,
preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease
the number of shares of any such series (but not below the number of shares of
such series then outstanding). The board of directors may authorize the issuance
of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect
the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The
issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with
possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things,
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of
Quokka and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the
voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.

WARRANTS

     In October 1997, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 212,800
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share to four
investors. Each of these warrants will expire upon the closing of this offering,
unless earlier exercised.

stock, 145,559 shares of Series B preferred stock, 24,242 shares of Series B
preferred stock and 24,242 shares of Series C preferred stock. The Intel
Warrants, as amended, are currently exercisable for 99,539 shares of Series A
preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.02 per share, 99,539 shares of Series
B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.02 per share, 48,485 shares of

expire. On March 19, 2004, 76,366 of these warrant shares will expire. On April
22, 2009, 153,846 of these warrant shares will expire. The remaining 223,076 of
these warrant shares will expire three years from the effective date of this
offering.


     In May 1999, we issued and sold a warrant to purchase up to 110,000 shares
of Series D preferred stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share to one
investor. All of these warrant shares will expire on May 27, 2006.

     Each of the aforementioned warrants are subject to the provisions of an
investors' rights agreement. See "-- Registration Rights" for additional
information relating to this agreement.

     In July 1999, we issued and sold warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to
30,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share to two
investors. On March 1, 2002, 15,000 of these warrant shares will expire. On
March 1, 2003, the remainder of these warrant shares will expire.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     Pursuant to an investors' rights agreement dated May 27, 1999, between
Quokka and some of our investors, the investors have registration rights for the
41,081,941 shares of common stock held by them, or subject to acquisition upon
exercise of warrants. Under the rights agreement, the investors may demand, by
written request from holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding investors'
registrable securities, that we file a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering all or a portion of the investors' registrable
securities, provided that, in the case of a registration on a form other than a
Form S-3, there is a reasonably anticipated aggregate offering price to the
public of more than $10.0 million, or in the case of a registration of Form S-3,
there is a reasonably anticipated aggregate offering price to the public of at
least $1.0 million. These registration rights are subject to our right to delay
the filing of a registration statement, in the case of a registration on a form
other than a Form S-3, for a period not to exceed 60 days, and, in the case of a
registration on a Form S-3, for a period not to exceed 90 days. In the case of a
registration on a form other than a Form S-3, we cannot delay more than twice in
a 12-month period after receiving the registration demand. In the case of a
registration on a Form S-3, we cannot delay more than once in a 12-month period
after receiving the registration demand. In the case of a registration on a

                                       71
<PAGE>   77

form other than a Form S-3, the managing underwriter, if any, of any such
offering has certain rights to limit the number of the Registrable Securities
proposed to be included in such registration.

     In addition, the investors have "piggyback" registration rights. If we
propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act of 1933
(other than pursuant to the investors' demand registration rights noted above),
the investors may require us to include all or a portion of their registrable
securities in such registration. The managing underwriter, if any, of any such
offering will have the right to limit the number of the registrable securities
to no less than 25% of the total number of securities proposed to be included in
such registration.

     All registration expenses incurred in connection with the above
registrations would be borne by us. Each selling investor would pay all
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of his or
its registrable securities.

     All registration rights described above will terminate ten years after the
date of our initial public offering. Following the closing of this offering, the
rights of each investor holding less than 1% of our outstanding common stock
under the rights agreement will terminate when that investor may sell all of its
or his shares under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or during any 90-day
period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

SECTION 2115

     We are currently subject to Section 2115 of the California General
Corporation Law. Section 2115 provides that, regardless of a company's legal
domicile, certain provisions of California corporate law will apply to that
company if more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are held of record
by persons having addresses in California and the majority of the Company's
operations occur in California.

     The following table sets forth some of the effects on our corporate
governance of Section 2115:

In addition to these differences, Section 2115 also provides for information
rights and required filings in the event a company effects a sale of assets or
completes a merger.

     We anticipate that our common stock will be qualified for trading as a
national market security on the Nasdaq National Market and that we will have at
least 800 stockholders of record by the record date for our 2000 annual meeting
of stockholders. If these two conditions occur, then we will no longer be
subject to Section 2115 as of the record date for our 2000 annual meeting of
stockholders. See "-- Common Stock" and "Management -- Board Composition" for
additional information relating to the effects of Section 2115 on Quokka.

DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW AND CERTAIN CHARTER PROVISIONS

  Delaware Law

     We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
regulating corporate takeovers. Section 203, subject to exceptions, prohibits a
Delaware corporation from engaging in any "business combination" with any
"interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date that the
stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:

     - prior to the date, the board of directors of the corporation approved
       either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the
       stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

     - upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder
       becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at
       least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time
       the transaction commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who
       are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans in which
       employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially
       whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or
       exchange offer; or

     - on or subsequent to the date, the business combination is approved by the
       board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of
       stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at
       least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the
       interested stockholder.

     Section 203 defines business combination to include:

     - any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested
       stockholder;

     - any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested
       stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

     - subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or
       transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the
       interested stockholder; or

     - the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
       advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or
       through the corporation.

     Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" as:

     - any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding
       voting stock of the corporation; and

                                       73
<PAGE>   79

     - any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the
       entity or person.

     A Delaware corporation may "opt out" of Section 203 with an express
provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision
in its certificate or incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders'
amendment approved by a majority of the outstanding voting shares. We have not
"opted out" of the provisions of Section 203. The statute could prohibit or
delay mergers or other takeover or change-in-control attempts with respect to
Quokka and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire Quokka.

  Charter Provisions

     Our bylaws divide the board of directors into three classes as nearly equal
in size as possible with staggered three-year terms. The classification of the
board of directors could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third
party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, control of
Quokka. In addition, the bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to
be taken by our stockholders at an annual meeting or a special meeting of the
stockholders may be taken only if it is properly brought before such meeting and
may not be taken by written action in lieu of a meeting. The

                                       74
<PAGE>   80

bylaws also provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only
by the board of directors, the chairman of the board, the chief executive
officer or the holders of 50% or more of our outstanding stock. See
"Management -- Board Composition" for additional information relating to the
classification of the board of directors.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

     Our certificate of incorporation, which will become effective upon the
closing of this offering, contains provisions permitted under Delaware law
relating to the liability of directors. These provisions eliminate a director's
personal liability for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary
duty, except in circumstances involving wrongful acts, such as:

     - any breach of the director's duty of loyalty;

     - acts or omissions which involve a lack of good faith, intentional
       misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

     - payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that
       are unlawful under Delaware law; or

     - any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
       benefit.

     These provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights or any stockholder's
rights to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the
event of a breach of director's fiduciary duty. These provisions will not alter
a director's liability under federal securities laws.

     Our bylaws, which will become effective upon the closing of this offering,
require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest
extent not prohibited by the Delaware law. We may limit the extent of such
indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and executive
officers. Further, we may decline to indemnify any director or executive officer
in connection with any proceeding initiated by such person or any proceeding by
such person against Quokka or its directors, officers, employees or other
agents, unless such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law or
the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors.

     We have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our current
directors and certain of our executive officers to give such directors and
officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the
indemnification set forth in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and to
provide additional procedural protections. At present, there is no pending
litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer or employee of Quokka for
which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation
that may result in claims for indemnification.

     We have the power to indemnify our other officers, employees and other
agents, as permitted by Delaware law, but we are not required to do so.

     Quokka plans to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

     The Transfer Agent and Registrar for Quokka's common stock is BankBoston
N.A.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

     Upon completion of this offering and based on the number of shares
outstanding as of June 9, 1999, Quokka will have outstanding 43,791,118 shares
of common stock, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option
and no exercise of outstanding options. Of these shares, the 5,000,000 shares
sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the
Securities Act unless purchased by "affiliates" of Quokka as that term is
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Of the remaining shares, all of
the 38,791,118 shares held by existing stockholders are subject to lock-up
agreements generally providing that, with certain limited exceptions, the
stockholder will not:

     - offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
       purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
       right or warrant for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any
       shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
       exercisable for or repayable with common stock; or

     - enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in
       part, the economic consequence of ownership of the common stock whether
       any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of common stock
       or other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior written
       consent of Merrill Lynch on behalf of the underwriters for a period of
       180 days after the date of this prospectus.

As a result of these lock-up agreements, notwithstanding possible earlier
eligibility for sale under the provisions of Rules 144, 144(k) and 701, none of
these shares can be sold until 181 days after the date of the final prospectus.
Beginning 181 days after the date of the final prospectus, 33,737,470 of these
shares will be eligible for sale in the public market, although a portion of
such shares will be subject to certain volume limitations pursuant to Rule 144.
The remaining restricted shares will become eligible for sale from time to time
thereafter upon expiration of applicable holding periods under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act and Quokka's right to repurchase unvested shares. Holders of
options to purchase common stock of Quokka are also subject to 180-day lock-up
agreements.

     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at
least one year (including the holding period of any prior owner except an
affiliate) would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of
shares that does not exceed the greater of:

     - 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding (which will
       equal approximately 437,911 shares immediately after this offering); or

     - the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four
       calendar weeks preceding the filing of a Form 144 with respect to such
       sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and
notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about
Quokka. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate
of Quokka at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has
beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years
(including the holding period of any prior owner except an affiliate), is
entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

     Rule 701 permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without
compliance with certain restrictions, including the holding period requirement,
of Rule 144. Any employee, officer or director of or consultant to Quokka who
purchased his or her shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract
may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701. Rule 701 permits
affiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with
the holding period requirements of Rule 144. Rule 701 further provides that
non-affiliates may sell such shares in reliance on Rule 144 without having to
comply with the holding period, public information, volume limitation or notice
provisions of Rule 144.

     Some holders of shares of common stock are also entitled to rights with
respect to registration of such shares of common stock for offer and sale to the
public. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights" for additional
information relating to registration rights.

     There can be no assurance that an active public market for the common stock
will continue after this offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of common
stock (including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding options) in the
public market after this offering could adversely affect market prices
prevailing from time to time and could impair Quokka's ability to raise capital
through the sale of its equity securities. As described below, only a limited
number of shares will be available for sale immediately after this offering due
to certain contractual restrictions on resale. Sales of substantial amounts of
common stock of Quokka in the public market after the restrictions lapse could
adversely affect the prevailing market price and the ability of Quokka to raise
equity capital in the future.

     In the purchase agreement, the several underwriters have agreed, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the shares of
common stock being sold pursuant to each such agreement if any of the shares of
common stock being sold pursuant to such agreement are purchased. In the event
of a default by an underwriter, the purchase agreement provides that, in certain
circumstances, the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be
increased or the purchase agreement may be terminated.

     Quokka has agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of
this offering.

     The shares of common stock are being offered by the several underwriters,
subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject
to approval of certain legal matters by counsel for the underwriters and certain
other conditions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or
modify such offer and to reject orders in whole or in part.

COMMISSIONS AND DISCOUNTS

     The representatives have advised Quokka that the underwriters propose
initially to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the initial
public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and to
certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $     per share
of common stock. The underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a
discount not in excess of $     per share of common stock to certain other
dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price,
concession and discount may be changed.

     The following table shows the per share and total public offering price,
underwriting discount to be paid by Quokka to the underwriters, and the proceeds
before expenses to Quokka. This information is presented assuming either no
exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option.

     The expenses of this offering (exclusive of the underwriting discount and

offering price, underwriting discount and other terms set forth in the purchase
agreement were approved by the pricing committee of Quokka's board of directors.

OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION

     Quokka has granted an option to the underwriters, exercisable for 30 days
after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000
additional shares of common stock at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page of this prospectus, less the underwriting discount. The underwriters
may exercise this option solely to cover over-allotments, if any, made on the
sale of the common stock offered hereby. To the extent that the underwriters
exercise this option, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase a number of additional shares of common stock
proportionate to such underwriters initial amount reflected in the foregoing
table.

RESERVED SHARES

     At the request of Quokka, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the
initial public offering price, up to 500,000 of the shares offered hereby to be
sold to certain directors, officers, employees, distributors, dealers, business
associates and related persons of Quokka. The number of shares of common stock
available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent such
persons purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares which are not orally
confirmed for purchase within one day of the pricing of this offering will be
offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other
shares offered in this prospectus.

NO SALES OF SIMILAR SECURITIES

     Quokka and its executive officers, directors and other stockholders

NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET LISTING

     Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the common
stock of Quokka. The initial public offering price will be determined through
negotiations between Quokka and the representatives. The factors to be
considered in determining the initial public offering price, in addition to
prevailing market conditions, are expected to be price-revenue and discounted
price-earnings ratios of publicly traded companies that the representatives
believe to be comparable to Quokka, certain financial information of Quokka, the
history of, and the prospects for, Quokka and the industry in which it competes,
and an assessment of Quokka's management, its past and present operations, the
prospects for, and timing of, future revenues of Quokka, and the present state
of Quokka's development. There can be no assurance that an active trading market
will develop for the common stock or that the common stock will trade in the
public market subsequent to this offering at or above the initial public
offering price.

                                       79
<PAGE>   85

     The underwriters do not expect sales of the common stock to be made to any
accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority to exceed 5% of the
number of shares being offered hereby.

PRICE STABILIZATION AND SHORT POSITIONS

     Until the distribution of the common stock is completed, SEC rules may
limit the ability of the underwriters and certain selling group members to bid
for and purchase our common stock. As an exception to these rules, the
representatives are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize
the price of our common stock. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases
for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of our common stock.

     If the underwriters create a short position in our common stock in
connection with the offering contemplated hereby, i.e., if they sell more shares
of common stock than are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the
representatives may reduce that short position by purchasing our common stock in
the open market. The representatives may also elect to reduce any short position
by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option described above.

PENALTY BIDS

     The representatives may also impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters
and selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase
shares of our common stock in the open market to reduce the underwriters' short
position or to stabilize the price of our common stock, they may reclaim the
amount of the selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members
who sold those shares.

     In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to
reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than
it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid
might also have an effect on the price of our common stock to the extent that it
discourages resales of our common stock.

     Neither Quokka nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither
Quokka nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the
representatives will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once
commenced, will not be discontinued.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed
upon for Quokka by Cooley Godward LLP, San Francisco, California. Certain legal
matters will be passed upon for the underwriters by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich &
Rosati, Professional Corporation, Palo Alto, California. An investment
partnership affiliated with Cooley Godward LLP owns 127,887 shares of Quokka's
preferred stock, which will convert into 127,887 shares of Quokka's common stock
upon the closing of this offering.

                                    EXPERTS

     The financial statements included in this prospectus have been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants. The companies and periods
covered by these audits are indicated in the individual reports of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Such financial statements have been so included in
reliance on the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP given on the authority of
said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

                        CHANGE IN PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANTS

     In March 1998, KPMG LLP was dismissed and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
replaced KPMG LLP as our independent accountants. The selection of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent accountants was ratified by our
board of directors in April 1998. During fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1998, we had no
disagreement with our former accountants, KPMG LLP, on any matter of accounting
principles or
                                       80
<PAGE>   86

practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to
make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the
disagreement. KPMG LLP did not issue a report on our financial statements with
respect to the years ended December 31, 1997 or 1998.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders of
  Quokka Sports, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations and changes in stockholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Quokka Sports, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audits 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  Organization

     Prior to August 1996, Quokka Sports, Inc. operated as an Australian
software development and consulting company known as Ozware Developments Unit
Trust. In August 1996, Quokka adopted its current business model, incorporated
in Delaware under the name Quokka Productions, Inc. and relocated its
headquarters to San Francisco. In September 1996, Quokka Productions, Inc.
changed its name to Quokka Sports, Inc.

     Quokka is an independent digital sports network providing real-time
coverage of sporting events for worldwide audiences. Utilizing digital assets
generated at a sports venue that are under-utilized by traditional media, Quokka
is building a digital sports network by creating digital programming content
that is specifically designed for interactive distribution systems.

     Revenues are generated from digital entertainment sponsorships,
advertising, electronic commerce and studio services. The majority of revenues
are derived from the sale of sponsorship packages to corporations. Digital
entertainment sponsors may embed their products in Quokka's productions, site
branding, access to development projects, the use of trademarks and logos and
participation in various print and media campaigns.

  Unaudited Interim Financial Information

     The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31,
1998 and 1999 and the three months then ended together with the related notes
are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments, which management considers necessary to present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position, and consolidated results
of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998
and 1999. Results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of results of the entire year.

  Use of Estimates

     The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Foreign Currency Translation

     The functional currency of Quokka's subsidiaries is the local currency.
Accordingly, Quokka applies the current rate method to translate the
subsidiaries' financial statements into United States dollars. Translation
adjustments are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the
accompanying financial statements.

  Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quokka, and
all of its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements. Investments in and advances to our joint venture in which we have a
50% ownership interest are accounted for by the equity method.

                      QUOKKA SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Quokka includes in cash and cash equivalents all highly liquid investments
that mature within three months of their purchase date. Cash equivalents consist
primarily of money market funds.

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets that
range from three to five years. Leased assets are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life or the lease term.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are
retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in
operations in the period realized.

  Income Taxes

     Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires
recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year
in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected
to be realized.

  Net loss per share and pro forma net loss per share

     Quokka computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
Earnings per Share, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 98. Under the
provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB No. 98, basic net loss per share is computed
by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the
weighted average number of vested common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. However, as Quokka generated net losses in all
periods presented, common equivalent shares, composed of incremental common
shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and upon
conversion of preferred stock, are not included in diluted net loss per share
because such shares are anti-dilutive.

     Pro forma net loss per share in 1998 and the period ended March 31, 1999 is
computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding,
including the pro forma effects of the automatic conversion of Quokka's
preferred stock and exercise of in the money warrants to purchase 508,848 shares
into shares of Quokka's common stock effective upon the closing of Quokka's
initial public offering as if such conversion and exercise occurred on January
1, 1998 or at the date of original issuance, if later. The resulting pro forma
adjustments result in an increase in the weighted average shares used to compute
basic and diluted net loss per share in 1998 and for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. Pro forma common equivalent shares, composed of unvested
restricted common stock and incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise
of stock options and warrants, are not included in pro forma diluted net loss
per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

  Pro Forma Stockholder's Equity (Unaudited)

     Effective upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering, the
outstanding shares of Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock
will automatically convert into shares of common stock. The pro forma effects of
these transactions are unaudited and have been reflected in the accompanying pro
forma consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1999.

  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS 130 establishes standards for
reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement.
Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets)
during a period from nonowner sources. Examples of items to be included in
comprehensive income, which are excluded from net income, include foreign
currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains/losses on
available-for-sale securities. The difference between net loss, as reported, and
comprehensive income relates solely to the change in the cumulative translation
adjustment for the respective periods which were not material to these financial
statements.

     During June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" SFAS No. 131 replaces SFAS No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise" and changes the way
public companies report segment information. SFAS No. 131 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and has been adopted by Quokka
for the year ended December 31, 1998. Quokka operates in one business segment.

                                       F-9

                      QUOKKA SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) issued Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Software for Internal Use" which
provides guidance on accounting for the cost of computer software developed or
obtained for internal use. Statement of Position No. 98-1 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Quokka
does not expect that the adoption of Statement of Position No. 98-1 will have a
material impact on its financial statements.

     In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on
the Costs of Start-Up Activities." This standard requires companies to expense
the costs of start-up activities and organization costs as incurred. In general,
Statement of Position 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. Quokka believes the adoption of Statement of Position 98-5
will not have a material impact on its results of operations.

  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     Carrying amounts of certain of Quokka's financial instruments, including
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short
maturities. Based upon borrowing rates currently available for Quokka for loans
with similar terms, the carrying value of capital lease obligations approximates
fair value.

  Business Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

     Quokka operates in the Internet industry, which are rapidly evolving and
intensely competitive. Quokka potentially competes with other Internet
companies, large, established media companies and sports marketing
organizations.

     Financial instruments that potentially subject Quokka to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of one money market account placed with one
financial institution which exceeds federally insured limits.

     Quokka performs ongoing credit evaluations, does not require collateral and
does not currently maintain any reserves for potential credit losses. For the
year ended December 31, 1998, three customers accounted for 52%, 16% and 12%,
respectively, of all revenues generated by Quokka. For the three months ended
March 31, 1998, three customers accounted for 63%, 18% and 10% of all revenues
generated by Quokka. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, three customers
accounted for 48%, 25% and 18% of all revenues generated by Quokka. At December
31, 1998, 23% of the outstanding accounts receivable was attributable to the
smallest of the three largest customers. One additional customer accounted for
another 65% of total outstanding accounts receivable. The remaining accounts
receivable balance at December 31, 1998 was attributable to three additional
customers. At March 31, 1999, 100% of the outstanding accounts receivable was
attributable to three customers.

     For the year ended December 31, 1997, three customers accounted for 52%,
21% and 15% of all revenues generated by Quokka. At December 31, 1997, there
were no receivables from these customers. For the year ended December 31, 1996,
one customer accounted for all the revenues generated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Quokka generates revenues from digital entertainment sponsorships,
advertising, electronic commerce and studio services. Sponsorship revenues are
recognized over the term of the sponsored event based on the ratio of current
period impressions to projected total ultimate impressions based on a
determination that no significant obligations remained and collection of the
resulting receivable was probable. When Quokka was obligated to provide a
minimum number of impressions, a pro rata portion of amounts received was
recorded as deferred revenue until these obligations were satisfied. Revenues
from studio services are recognized in the period the service is provided.
Advertising and electronic commerce revenues, which have not been material to
date, are recognized when the commitment is met or product is
                                      F-10

shipped and payment is assured. Quokka has accepted property and services as
payment for sponsorship. Property and services received as payment are valued at
fair market value based on the amounts normally charged to third parties for
similar property and services.

     Total property and services received as payment were $0 in 1996, $1,738,298
in 1997 and $4,320,622 in 1998. Total property and services received as payment
were $2,773,874 and $244,763 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999.

RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING

     Research and engineering expenses include personnel costs, costs incurred
to improve and develop the "Quokka Sports Platform," broadband applications and
costs associated with network operations. Research and engineering costs are
expensed as incurred.

     Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $4,000 in
1996, $62,000 in 1997 and $554,000 in 1998.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     In 1997, Quokka adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-based Compensation." Quokka has elected to continue
accounting for stock-based compensation issued to the employees using Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and,
accordingly, pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123 have been
presented (See Note 8). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the
difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of Quokka's
common stock and the exercise price. Additionally, pursuant to SFAS No. 123,
stock issued to non-employees is accounted for at the fair value of the equity
instruments issued, or at the fair value of the consideration received,
whichever is more reliably measurable.

RECLASSIFICATION

     Quokka has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information
to conform to the current year presentation. These changes had no effect on
previously reported financial position or results of operations.

</TABLE>

     At December 31, 1998, Quokka had net operating loss carryforwards of
$12,025,228 for federal tax purposes expiring in 2011 through 2018, and
$9,987,838 for California income tax purposes which expire in 2004. The issuance
of preferred stock in December, 1997, resulted in a change of ownership under
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of the change,
approximately $3.8 million in federal losses and $1.8 million in California
losses are subject to an annual limitation of $254,319. The losses incurred
while operating as Ozware Developments Unit Trust in Australia are not available
for future utilization. Therefore, no deferred income taxes were recorded in the
financial statements.

     The effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax
rate of 34% primarily as a result of state income taxes and the change in the
valuation allowance. The difference between Quokka's effective income tax rate
and the federal statutory rate is reconciled below:

  Long-Term Debt

     Quokka has an equipment financing arrangement with a bank. Under the terms
of the agreement, Quokka had the right to draw on a $750,000 line of credit
until November 23, 1998 for the purchase of equipment collateralized by the
loan. These amounts are classified as long-term debt on the accompanying
financial statements. Quokka withdrew the maximum amount available under this
line during the period. The terms of the agreement require repayment over 36
months commencing November 23, 1998. Prior to that date, Quokka was obligated to
make payments of interest only on the unpaid balance. The current rate of 8.50%
is 0.75% over the prime rate quoted by the bank (7.75% at December 31, 1998).
Principal and interest payments are made monthly to fully amortize the loan.

6.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

  Preferred Stock

     At December 31, 1998, Quokka had Series A, Series B and Series C preferred
stock authorized and outstanding. At December 31, 1997, Quokka was authorized to
issue 8,500,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which were designated Series A
Preferred Stock. At December 31, 1998, Quokka was authorized to issue 27,600,000
shares of preferred stock, 7,965,688 of which were designated Series A Preferred
Stock, 11,127,620 of which were designated Series B Preferred Stock and
8,500,000 of which were designated Series C Preferred Stock. The holders of
preferred stock have the following rights:

     Dividends

          The holders of all series of preferred stock outstanding are entitled
     to receive in any fiscal year, when and if declared by the Board of
     Directors, out of any funds legally available, cash dividends at the rate
     of 8.00% of the original issuance price per share. The right to dividends
     is not cumulative, and no dividends were declared through December 31,
     1998.

                      QUOKKA SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Conversion Rights

          At the option of the holder, each share of Series A, Series B and
     Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time, into one share of
     common stock. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment resulting from
     future capital transactions. In addition, each share of Series A, Series B
     and Series C Preferred Stock will convert automatically into common stock:
     (i) at any time based on the affirmative vote of 75% of the outstanding
     shares of all of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock; or (ii)
     immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public
     offering, provided the gross cash proceeds to Quokka are at least
     $15,000,000 and the public offering price per share is at least $4.50.

     Liquidation Preference

          In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Quokka,
     either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series C Preferred
     Stock retain liquidation preference over Series A and Series B Preferred
     Stock and common stock equal to the original issuance price ($3.25 per
     share) plus declared but unpaid dividends. After the payment of the full
     liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of the
     Series B Preferred Stock retain liquidation preference over Series A
     Preferred Stock and common stock equal to the original issuance price
     ($1.50 per share) plus declared but unpaid dividends. After the payment of
     the full liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series
     B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock retain
     liquidation preference over common stock equal to the original issuance
     price ($0.68 per share) plus declared but unpaid dividends. If there are
     any available funds and assets remaining after payments or distributions
     are made to the holders of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock
     of their full preferential amounts, then all remaining funds and assets
     will be distributed pro rata among the holders of the then-outstanding
     common stock and Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock on a pro
     rata, as converted to common stock basis.

     Voting Rights

          The holders of all series of preferred stock and the holders of common
     stock are entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting. Holders of
     voting common stock and Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock ,
     vote as a single class upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a
     vote, as follows: (i) each holder of Series A, Series B and Series C
     Preferred Stock, has one vote for each full share of common stock into
     which each share of preferred stock would be convertible on the record date
     for the vote and (ii) each holder of common stock has one vote per share of
     common stock. Voting as a separate class, holders of Series A Preferred
     Stock have the right to elect two directors. This right can be exercised of
     any annual meeting or at any special meeting called. Directors elected by
     holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
     will serve until their successors have been elected or have been removed by
     holders of the majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.

7.  BRIDGE LOANS AND WARRANTS

     In October 1997, Quokka obtained a bridge loan and issued warrants to
purchase common stock. The loan amount was subsequently converted into Series A
Preferred Stock in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock financing in
December 1997. Quokka issued 212,800 warrants at an exercise price of $0.50 per
share expiring in November 2004. In connection with these warrants, Quokka
recorded a charge to interest expense of $61,860, representing the fair value of
the warrants issued.

11.  COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

     Quokka, together with, in some instances, some of its directors and
officers, may from time to time be the subject of claims or named as a defendant
or co-defendant in various legal actions involving breach of contract and
various other claims incident to the conduct of its businesses. Management does
not expect Quokka to suffer any material liability by reason of such actions,
nor does it expect that such actions will have a material effect on Quokka's
liquidity or operating results.

12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In February 1999, Quokka established NBC/Quokka, LLC a joint venture with
NBC Olympics, Inc. NBC/Olympics, Inc. is owned 51% by Quokka and 49% by NBC
Olympics, Inc. The terms of the operating agreement for the venture require
Quokka to make quarterly capital contributions in amounts necessary to fund the
venture's operations on an ongoing basis in accordance with the annual operating
plan. Accordingly, the amount and timing of these capital contributions will be
based on the actual activities of the venture and are unknown at this time. In
consideration for Quokka's share of the equity in the joint venture, Quokka also
issued 2,100,000 warrants that have a fair value of $4.9 million. This joint
venture has been consolidated in Quokka's financial statements. NBC's obligation
to the joint venture is to contribute interactive media rights as well as on-air
promotion of the site, access to NBC personalities and research.

     In March 1999, Quokka formed CART Digital Media Enterprises, LLC with
Forsythe Inc. CART Digital Media Enterprises, LLC is 50% owned by Quokka and 50%
owned by Forsythe, Inc., and both parties have an equal representation on the
Board of Managers. The terms of the agreement require the two partners to make
capital contributions in order to meet the venture's need for operating capital.
Accordingly, the amounts and timing of these capital contributions will be based
on the actual activities of the venture and are unknown at this time. This joint
venture will be treated as an equity investment within the financial statements.
As part of the consideration for the equity in this joint venture, Quokka issued
warrants to purchase 76,366 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which has a fair
value of $400,841.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Quokka has acquired rights to various other events. Under these agreements
Quokka is required to make cash payments through 2003 totaling $6,700,000.

     Quokka and its subsidiaries and joint venture will account for acquired
media rights pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 63.
Under FAS No. 63, a licensee shall report an asset and a liability for the
rights acquired and obligations incurred under a license agreement when the
license period begins and other conditions, including availability and
acceptance, have been met. The assets will be amortized over their estimated
useful life.

     In February 1999, Quokka entered into a subordinated debt agreement. Terms
of this agreement call for maximum borrowings of $10 million. Repayment is due
in 36 monthly installments commencing on February 1, 2000 subject to
acceleration under certain conditions including the completion of an initial
public offering. No amounts were outstanding on this facility as of March 31,
1999. In connection with this agreement, Quokka has issued warrants for the
purchase of 215,384 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at an exercise price of
$3.25. The fair value of these warrants was $552,486 and has been treated as a
loan commitment fee and is being amortized over the term of the six-month
draw-down period as no further services are requested to earn the warrants, and
they are fully vested.

     The estimated fair value of the above warrants have been determined based
on the Noreen-Wolfson fair value model with a volatility of 70%.

     In April 1999, Quokka entered into a Trial Agreement with MediaOne
Interactive Services, Inc. Under this agreement, Quokka and MediaOne are working
together to implement and test streaming media over the MediaOne cable modem
infrastructure. In connection with this agreement, Quokka has issued warrants to
MediaOne to purchase 153,846 shares of Series C preferred stock at an exercise
price of $3.25 per share. These warrants will expire in January 2009 if not
earlier exercised.

     In May 1999, Quokka entered into a noncancelable facilities lease. Terms of
the lease call for annual lease payments of approximately $1.9 million. Terms of
the lease agreement further require a $700,000 security deposit in the form of
an irrevocable letter of credit. The lease expires in February 2002.

     In May 1999, Quokka completed an additional private sale of equity
securities issuing 3,966,667 shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a price of
$9.00 per share. Aggregate gross proceeds approximate $35.7 million.

     In May 1999, Quokka entered into a binding letter of intent with
Excite@Home to integrate and promote their sports programming on the
www.excite.com web site and the @Home broadband service. Terms of this agreement
call for semiannual payments through January 2000 and quarterly payments
thereafter through October 2002 totaling $9.6 million.

     In May 1999, the Company entered into a purchase commitment for property
and equipment totalling $10.5 million through December 2001.

     In May 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase software and

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Our certificate of incorporation, which will become effective upon the
closing of this offering, contains provisions permitted under Delaware law
relating to the liability of directors. These provisions eliminate a director's
personal liability for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary
duty, except in circumstances involving wrongful acts, such as:

     - any breach of the director's duty of loyalty;

     - acts or omissions which involve a lack of good faith, intentional
       misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

     - payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that
       are unlawful under Delaware law; or

     - any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
       benefit.

     These provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights or any stockholder's
rights to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the
event of a breach of director's fiduciary duty. These provisions will not alter
a director's liability under federal securities laws.

     Our bylaws, which will become effective upon the closing of this offering,
require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest
extent not prohibited by the Delaware law. We may limit the extent of such
indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and executive
officers. Further, we may decline to indemnify any director or executive officer
in connection with any proceeding initiated by such person or any proceeding by
such person against Quokka or its directors, officers, employees or other
agents, unless such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law or
the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors.

     We have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our current
directors and certain of our executive officers to give such directors and
officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the
indemnification set forth in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and to
provide additional procedural protections. At present, there is no pending
litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer or employee of Quokka for
which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation
that may result in claims for indemnification.

                                      II-1
<PAGE>   110

     We have the power to indemnify our other officers, employees and other
agents, as permitted by Delaware law, but we are not required to do so.

     Quokka plans to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance.

     Reference is made to the following documents filed or to be filed as
exhibits to this registration statement regarding relevant indemnification
provisions described above and elsewhere herein:

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Quokka
pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above, or otherwise, Quokka
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by Quokka of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Quokka in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Quokka
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
     this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
     form of prospectus filed by Quokka pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
     497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
     be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT UNDER RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. A COMPLETE
COPY OF THIS EXHIBIT HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

                                    AGREEMENT


        THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of January 1, 1999 (the
"Effective Date") by and between CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO RACING TEAMS, INC., a
corporation organized under the laws of Delaware, with principal offices at 755
West Big Beaver Road, Suite 800, Troy, Michigan 48084 (hereinafter referred to
as "CART") and CART DIGITAL MEDIA ENTERPRISES, LLC, a limited liability company
organized under the laws of Delaware, with principal offices at 525 Brannan
Street, San Francisco, CA. 94107 (hereinafter referred to as "CDME").

                                    RECITALS

        WHEREAS, CART, through its subsidiary CART, Inc. is the sanctioning body
of prestigious auto racing events and series currently known as the FedEx
Championship Series, the PPG Dayton Indy Lights Championship and the Kool Toyota
Atlantic Championship (hereinafter all races, practice and qualifying sessions
and all related activities and meetings thereto being collectively referred to
as the "Events");

        WHEREAS, CDME was formed by Quokka Sports, Inc. and Forsythe Racing,
Inc. to provide digital media coverage for the Events;

        WHEREAS, CART wishes to appoint CDME and CDME agrees to be appointed to
develop, construct and operate the exclusive official Site (as hereinafter
defined) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

        WHEREAS, CART wishes to grant to CDME Digital Media rights and various
other rights pertaining to the Events in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.      DEFINITIONS.

As used in this Agreement:

        "CONTENT" means the articles, stories, statistics, data, photographs,
drawings, visualizations, video, audio, and other digital assets (including any
assets in an analog format) gathered or supplied by CART in connection with the
Events, including content currently in existence on CART.com.

        "DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS" means goods or services derived from the Site (as
hereafter defined) or any portion thereof which are approved by CART, in its
reasonable discretion. In order for a product to be approved as a "derivative
product", at the time of development, CART must not offer or have licensed a
directly competing product or service, and CDME, through the use of digital
assets, must be able to provide significant added value to such product (e.g.,
screen savers and posters utilizing digital assets and books about the digital
coverage of CART). For purposes of definition, significant added value means any
product which uses Original Content as its primary source. Derivative products
do not include home videos or other products which merely make use of existing
CART assets, such as video and photographs.

<PAGE>   2

        "DIGITAL MEDIA" means any communications medium as to which all of the
following are true:

               (i) The principal means by which information is transmitted from
the provider to the end user is the delivery of digitally-encoded data,
regardless of the nature of the data transmitted (e.g., text, computer code,
still images, audio, motion video) or the transmission modality or modalities
employed (e.g., copper wire, fiber optic or coaxial cable, satellite or
terrestrial wireless transmission systems);

               (ii) The principal means by which information transmitted by the
provider is displayed to the end user is transitory images, sounds or other
experiences the persistence of which requires a power source at the display
device (e.g., images and sounds displayed through intelligent or dumb terminals
(including monitors and/or television sets) but not printed pages created by the
provider or the end user); and

               (iii) The medium enables the end user to manipulate the specific
information being displayed to that end user at any particular moment to the
extent (e.g., frequency, immediacy, ease, cost) at least as great as the extent
to which present-day (as of the Effective Date) end users are able to manipulate
the information displayed to them via World Wide Web pages or push media
transmitted over the Internet.

        In applying the foregoing definition, if a provider disseminates
information by means of any two or more media-that are intended primarily to be
displayed to the end user concurrently and in an integrated way through a single
display device, the two or more media will be considered in the aggregate as a
single medium, which will be considered Digital Media only if the combined media
in aggregate satisfy the applicable tests.

        "EVENT DATA" means real-time and historical Event-related data, which
may be provided by CART for use on the Site, subject to its agreements with
third parties, or which is provided by an entity other than CART to CDME,
subject to agreements between CDME and such entity. It is anticipated that such
Event Data shall include results (e.g., times of competitors and standings),
rulings, timing data, instrument and positional data, team radio communications,
text, e-mail, audio, still photographs, video and other relevant material
collected from teams, participants, suppliers, licensees, statisticians or
officials participating in the Event or available from any other source, and any
text or written material from any official or authorized print publication or
statistical supplier. Event Data may also include all participant information,
as well as historical data containing race results and timing data and other
statistical, anecdotal and archival materials, such as timing data, results,
photos, video, e-mail, documents, etc., relating to previous Events. Exhibit A
contains those items listed above which will be made available to CDME at this
time and for the duration of this Agreement and shall be maintained in
accordance with CART's obligations hereunder.

        "INTERFACE" means the graphical user interface ("GUI") for the Site,
including without limitation the "look and feel" of the GUI and the software
programs implementing the GUI (e.g., HTML code, Java scripting and programs
created with other Web authoring tools or tools related to the use of Digital
Media).

        "INTERNET" means the global network of computer networks commonly known
as and currently understood and including the so-called "world wide web" of
computer link-ups and communications systems through which end-users can access
and communicate with other


                                       2.
<PAGE>   3
computer users, file servers and domains and including any upgrades,
enhancements and successors thereto.

        "MARKS" means all trademarks, trade names, service marks, logos, designs
and trade dress of the Events which are owned or controlled by CART whether
registered or unregistered, set forth in the attached Exhibit B which is
incorporated herein by reference.

        "ORIGINAL CONTENT" means any material or work created by CDME or its
agent(s) for CDME, whether in analog or digital format, in which copyright,
design, (registered or unregistered) trade mark, service mark, or other similar
rights subsist or will subsist and which is incorporated into or synchronized
with or otherwise forms part of or is used in or in connection with the Site and
which is not the Interface or the Software (e.g., narrative text, graphs,
visualizations, still photos, video, etc.).

        "SITE" means coverage of the Events hereunder by CDME consisting of
analog and digital assets, Event Data, Original Content, and Content, as well as
historical and background data and information, which are distributed via a host
site on the Internet and/or via Digital Media. The Site shall include language
substantially similar to that contained in Exhibit C.

        "SOFTWARE" means the executable software programs relating to the Site
and any part thereof other than the Interface.

        "TERM" means the term of this Agreement as defined in Section 4.

series may have. All other rights granted by this Agreement shall be subject to
CART's pre-existing agreements with third parties, which agreements are
referenced herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement [*] In the

and obligations hereof. CART further appoints and CDME accepts the appointment

<PAGE>   4
Marks in any medium in connection with the promotion, marketing, advertisement
or publicity of the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CDME shall not register
the name "CART Digital Media Enterprises" for trademark protection or other
similar registration. CDME shall enter into a royalty-free license agreement
with CART for the use of the mark "CART" in connection with its company name,
"CART Digital Media Enterprises". All use of the aforementioned name, and any
other name or any mark or logo utilizing the Marks shall inure to the exclusive
benefit of CART. Nothing herein shall prevent CDME from changing its company
name.

               2.1.2 Subject to the restrictions in Section 2.1.9, use,
reproduce and exploit during the term the Marks on any Derivative Products, as
well as the rights to use, reproduce and exploit the marks in any medium in

Derivative Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the sale
of any Derivative Product, it is understood that CDME shall bear any additional
third party costs of repurposing third party photographs, videotape or other
material.

               2.1.3 Use for the Site Event Data and Content, whether owned,
licensed or sanctioned by CART, on a real time or other basis on the Internet,
and/or via Digital Media. All use of Event Data and Content as it relates to
site structure, architecture, navigation and branding issues shall be approved
in advance by CART, or if such approval is not practicable, shall be subject to
CART's editorial policies existing at the time of use. Content may also be used
in connection with the promotion, marketing, advertisement or publicity of the
Site or any Derivative Product.

               2.1.4 CART and CDME shall work together to establish editorial
standards for the Site which are consistent with the highest standards of
journalistic integrity, and CART shall have full editorial control over the
Site.

               2.1.5 Subject to Section 9 below, sell commercial partnerships
and advertising opportunities in connection with the Site.

               2.1.6 Sell official Event merchandise and other e-commerce
products and services (subject to the execution of such individual promoter
agreements as may be necessary) to third parties on the Site via the Internet
and/or via Digital Media. CART agrees to use reasonable efforts to facilitate
the execution of such promoter agreements.

               2.1.7 Syndicate Content and Original Content to third parties for
promotional use. All agreements for syndication must be approved in advance, in
writing, by CART. Such approval will include the right and license to use some
or all of the Marks, and shall not be unreasonably withheld, or withheld in a
manner which would result in the frustration of the purposes of this Agreement.
Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude CDME from receiving compensation for
such syndication, with such compensation to be subject to the terms of this
Agreement.

               2.1.8 Sell official Event photographs to third parties via the
Internet and/or via Digital Media. It is understood by the parties that the sale
to the public of any official Event photographs shall be subject to agreement
and payment of a fee to Allsport Photography or CART's then existing Official
Photographer.

               2.1.9 Create, advertise, sell and distribute through any channels
or mediums any Derivative Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all derivative
products (including the use of any Marks in connection therewith) must be
licensed by CART Licensed Products to CDME in a separate licensing agreement.
CART agrees not to treat CDME any differently than similarly


                                       4.
<PAGE>   5
situated CART Licensed Product Licensees with respect to each such product.
CDME's right to distribute, advertise and sell Derivative Products shall expire
180 days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement unless otherwise
provided in the Licensing Agreement for such Derivative Product(s).

               2.1.10 Sell official CART and CART Licensed Products
merchandise, products, and services to third parties on the Site via the
Internet and/or via Digital Media through December 31, 1999 subject to a license
agreement to be executed with CART Licensed Products, Inc. where a sliding scale
commission shall be paid by CART Licensed Products to CDME as set forth in
attached Exhibit D. CDME will work with CART Licensed Products to identify and
implement a phased approach to incorporate CART Licensed Products merchandise
into the site. CART Licensed Products shall promote and market the CART.com
store as the place to purchase CART associated merchandise in CART Licensed
Product's marketing activities. CART and CDME agree to work together to develop
a long term plan for handling e-commerce, it being understood and agreed that
CDME shall be included in any plan. To that end, by September 1, 1999, the
parties shall work together to develop such plan and business model, including
the addition of third party(ies), if any, as part of such long term plan.

               2.1.11 Include branding and promotion for Quokka Sports, Inc. in
connection with the Site substantially equivalent to that utilized by ESPN in
connection with its broadcast coverage of sporting events, provided that any
branding shall be subject to CART's prior written approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

        2.2 As between CDME and CART, CART shall retain all rights to the domain
name CART.com. Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly upon execution of this
Agreement and during the Term CART shall cause control of the aforementioned
domain to be transferred to CDME, and CDME shall maintain the domain and all
corresponding domain entries. If CART ceases to have rights to the domain
CART.com (for instance, following a registration dispute), the parties will use
their best efforts to provide a new address and cooperate to ensure that there
shall be minimal interruption in service for the Site.


3.      CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PARTIES.

        3.1 CDME agrees to utilize the following technology, intellectual
property, and hardware and software resources in connection with coverage of the
Events: Quokka Sports Immersion(TM) tools, technologies, rights, and know-how
including, but not limited to, the Quokka Replication System, race viewers,
Quokka Sports Feed, and production processes. CART shall have no rights to use
the foregoing for any purpose, nor shall CART acquire any rights in the
foregoing, and all rights therein shall remain with CDME or Quokka Sports, Inc.

        3.2 CDME shall be responsible for constructing at its own expense and
risk the Site, including the design of the Interface, construction of the Site
infrastructure and production of Original Content. A delivery schedule is
attached as Exhibit E. If the Site has not been launched by April 1, 1999, CDME
shall pay all expenses for CART to continue its current contract for CART.com
with U.N. Productions from April 1, 1999 through the date of launch.

               3.2.1 Subject to Section 2.1.3 and 2.1.4, CDME shall maintain
responsibility for all editorial, design and content aspects of the Site and
CDME shall utilize the best efforts of its creative, editorial, engineering,
technical, operations and production staff to improve the level of the current
CART digital interactive media coverage from its present state so as to remain a

                                       5.
<PAGE>   6
leader in digital interactive media involving the Internet as well as successor
or future interactive networks.

               3.2.2 As a part of the Site, CDME will provide a corporate
relations section as well as a restricted access section for press relations.
Upon request of CART, additional non-revenue generating sections will also be
added, which may result in a charge to CART. Such charge, if any, shall be based
upon actual costs to CDME. CDME shall provide to CART a quote for the provision
of such services. If CART finds a third party which will provide such services
at less cost, then CART may contract with such third party, except that prior to
such contract, CDME shall be given the opportunity to match the offer from the
third party. In the event that CDME matches the third party pricing, CART shall
use CDME for the provision of such service. The parties shall mutually agree to
the overall image for the website which in all cases shall be consistent with
CART's overall marketing strategies, branding characteristics and creative look
in the marketplace.

               3.2.3 CDME will provide its QSI infrastructure (including
interfaces into the venue management system for results and scoring, remote
publishing, telemetry, QSI information system, etc.) in connection with the
Site.

               3.2.4 CDME will provide full and complete management of and
operations of hosting infrastructure (T3, hardware, software, 24X7 support,
etc.) for the Site. At CDME's request, CART shall continue its current contract
with U.N. Productions with respect to CART.com from January 1, 1999 to March 31,
1999. CDME shall reimburse CART for such expense at a total sum for such period
not to exceed $[*] per month.

               3.2.5 CDME will provide all customer service functions (web
master, etc.) associated with the Site, except for corporate relations, press
customer service functions, and other requested non-revenue generation section
functions which will be handled directly by CART and for which CART shall
generate all content. CDME will provide templates, remote publishing tools and
support for CART to manage these areas expeditiously and autonomously. CDME
shall perform all functions in conjunction with its role as host server for the
Site, consistent with those services normally provided by web Site servers. CDME
will use its best efforts to provide continuous, uninterrupted operation of the
Site. CDME will provide comprehensive Site maintenance, changes, additions and
any other steps reasonably necessary to maintain the integrity, quality and
performance of the Site. All major changes to the Site shall be made in a timely
manner pursuant to an agreed upon review process, before being made available to
the general public.

               3.2.6 CDME will specify and manage all traffic verification as
well as analysis and research services for the Site through I-Pro, or such other
recognized independent verification group as the parties may agree upon, with
respect to mutually agreed upon audience metrics.

               3.2.7 CDME will use best efforts to integrate into the Site
reciprocal links between the Site and the web sites of the racing teams,
drivers, Events and CART official sponsors (e.g. Omega and Federal Express), and
all reasonable efforts related to other major motorsport sites.

               3.2.8 CDME will provide on-line Site promotion and marketing
subject to CART approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
and will work closely with CART Marketing. CDME shall provide to CART the

with the Whitbread Race Around the World or the Around Alone Race, whichever
shall be greater.

               3.2.9 CART shall provide a full-time liaison, based at the CART
office, to coordinate with CART, at CDME's expense. The liaison shall be subject

exceed [*] per annum.

               3.2.10 CDME agrees to consider providing on the Site an
additional section covering the 29th Car Concept. In connection therewith, CDME
shall study such concept and present a proposal to CART no later than September
30, 1999 with respect to inclusion of such concept in the Site during the 2000
season. In the event that CDME, in its reasonable judgment, determines that any
such section is not technically feasible or financially sustainable for 2000,
then the parties shall mutually agree upon a plan for reconsidering the concept.
Any revenues from such concept shall be included within Gross Revenues
hereunder. In addition to the [*] percent [*] set forth in Section 6.1, an
additional [*] percent [*] of any subscription revenues [*] shall be paid to
CART, [*].

               3.2.11 CDME also agrees to consider providing on the Site
additional sections suggested by CART. Any revenues from such sections shall be
included within Gross Revenues hereunder. In the event that CDME, in its
reasonable judgment, determines that any such section is technically feasible
and financially sustainable, but nevertheless elects not to undertake such
section, then CART shall be free to pursue such project with any third party or
in its own name, provided (1) that CDME is the systems integrator and takes
primary responsibility for integrating such section into the Site and (2) that
there shall be no use of Original Content without the payment of a mutually
acceptable sum to CDME which shall be comparable to then-existing industry
charges, but at a minimum will cover all actual costs to CDME.

        3.3 As between CDME and CART, CDME shall retain all rights to the
technology, intellectual property, and resources contributed solely by CDME as
well as any Software, Interface and Original Content developed by it or its

        3.4 Each party shall provide the other during the Term a non-exclusive,
royalty free license to use and access all content developed by it as well as
all third party content licensed by it, to the extent permitted by such third
parties, solely for use in connection with any publicity and promotion of the
Events or Site.

        3.5 In connection with CDME's efforts hereunder, to the extent such
rights are available for CART to provide, CART shall provide the following at no
cost to CDME:

               3.5.1 Real-time access and ability to use all audio feeds and
communications associated with the Events (e.g., CART Radio Network; driver/pit
crew; and track announcer).

               3.5.2 Subject to Section 5.2.3 below, real-time access and
ability to use real-time results, timing and scoring systems and feeds. During

timing and scoring feeds [*] Omega/Swiss Timing and [*] Omega/Swiss Timing
receiving appropriate branding recognition on the Site. Thereafter, any
successor CART timing and scoring provider

shall receive appropriate branding recognition on the Site, which shall be
comparable to that provided as of the effective date of this Agreement.

               3.5.3 Real-time access and ability to use official CART/Event
photographs in connection with the Site and for promotion purposes only, it
being understood that any specific sale of such photographs shall be subject to
Section 2.1.8.

               3.5.4 Reasonable efforts with Event participants (e.g. teams,
drivers, crews) to provide Event Data which CART does not own, control, or have
the rights to utilize. CART may include in future participant agreements various
additional assets to be made available to CDME for the Site.

               3.5.5 Access to and ability to use all historical and other
relevant information, photographs, video, audio, statistics and data under the
control or license of CART.

               3.5.6 Reasonable efforts to promote the Site URL to the widest
extent possible, such reasonable efforts to include placement of the URL in TV
and radio advertisements and in broadcasts on the CART Radio Network and in
broadcasts outside the United States and placement of the URL on the starter
vest, letterhead, business cards, advertisements and other forms of printed
matter, electronic material, or broadcast material distributed by CART. CART
will also use reasonable efforts to assist CDME to secure placement of banners
or signs with the URL on high visibility spots (for spectators and broadcast
cameras) at the venues and in such other locations as may be mutually agreed, it
being understood that such additional exposure may be at an incremental cost to
CDME.

               3.5.7 Subject to CART's existing agreement [*], CART will
exercise reasonable efforts with [*] to permit CDME access to and use of [*] on
the Site and for promotion of the URL. To the extent that [*] are available,
CART will use reasonable efforts to provide access to [*]. CDME recognizes that
there may be some restrictions on the use of such assets.

               3.5.8 Reasonable efforts to assist CDME in obtaining a reasonable
number of preferred venue credentials, Event tickets, parking passes and
hospitality access passes (to the extent available) for its employees, sponsors
and guests, at the expense of CDME.

and will exercise reasonable efforts to provide parking passes for such CDME
personnel, subject to availability.

               3.5.10 Reasonable efforts to assist CDME in meeting its logistics
and venue operations needs, it being understood that, depending on the size and
amount of equipment to be utilized, a fee, in certain circumstances, may be
payable to the event promoter. CART shall use reasonable efforts to assist CDME
in its negotiations of such fees with the promoter. At least ten (10) days prior
to an Event, CDME shall provide details regarding its proposed requirements.

               3.5.11 Unrestricted access to CART venues with cameras,
microphones and other equipment as necessary for CDME to acquire digital assets

technological enhancements, subject to notice and an opportunity to cure as set
forth below. CART shall notify CDME in writing with respect to any alleged
failure and the parties shall meet within one (1) week thereafter to discuss

               5.2.1 The failure of the parties to reach a mutually acceptable

ownership.


               5.2.3 [*].

        5.3 Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon

termination or expiration of this Agreement, which shall allow CART sufficient
time to obtain another provider. Upon the expiration of 180 days, or CART's
notice to CDME, servicing of the Site by CDME shall cease. If CART opts to
exercise this option, a fee payment from CART to CDME shall be mutually agreed
upon.

6.      REVENUES.

        6.1 As a license fee for all rights and services herein, CDME shall pay
to CART [*] percent [*] of all Gross Receipts generated hereunder over the Term
with a minimum guarantee of [*], which minimum guarantee shall be payable as
follows: Year 1-$[*] shall be payable upon execution of this Agreement; Year

and July 1 of each such year. Gross Receipts shall mean all revenue (including
value in-kind) actually received by CDME, including, but not limited to revenue

which are returned for any reason at law or equity. Value in-kind will be valued
based upon best customer pricing, as determined by the applicable vendor. No

[*]. Having purchased a category, CART or Quokka Sports would be free to resell
such packages at a higher price if it so chooses without any duty to account for
or otherwise share revenues over and above the agreed price.

        6.2 In addition to the sums set forth in Section 6.1, CDME shall also
pay a Referral Fee of [*] percent [*] of the first years' Net Sales Price (as
defined below) to CART, the CART racing teams, the CART drivers or CART event
promoters, as the case may be, for the successful referral of any commercial
partner to CDME for the Site for the first year of any deal. Thereafter, in the
case of any multi-year deal, the Referral Fee shall be [*] percent [*] of the
Net Sales Price for each such additional year of such agreement, including any
option periods exercised as provided for in such agreement. Net Sales Price
shall mean the gross sales price of the contract less any applicable agency
commission or fee. For an entity or person to qualify for a Referral Fee, that
person or entity must have provided substantial and material assistance and
ongoing support in obtaining a binding contract. Substantial and material
assistance shall mean the introduction of CDME to the person who ultimately
agrees to the binding contract or an employee of the contracting company, or an
agent who was involved in the sales process. For a Referral Fee to be paid to a
person or entity, a commercial partner must enter into a binding contract with
CDME. Only one Referral Fee shall be payable on any contract. Any Referral Fee
shall only be computed on a quarterly basis and shall be due and payable only on
any sums actually received in connection with such contract.

        6.3 CDME shall compute its Gross Receipts on a quarterly basis in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall distribute to
CART any excess sums due over and above the minimum guaranteed license fee with
a statement thereof within ninety (90) days after the conclusion of each
calendar year. CART shall have the right to examine CDME's books and records
with respect to any statements rendered. Except as stated below, such
examination shall be at CART's sole expense and shall be commenced not earlier
than ten (10) days after the date of such notice by any independent accountant
designated by CART provided any such person shall sign a standard
confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to CDME. If the examination
reveals that CDME failed to account for and properly pay fees due to CART
hereunder in an amount exceeding five percent (5%) of the fees actually paid and
accounted for, then CDME shall pay CART such past due amounts with interest at
the Prime Rate as determined by the Wall Street Journal, and reimburse CART for
the total cost of the examination. Such examinations shall be made during CDME's
usual business hours and CDME shall make available to CART for inspection any
and all books and records reasonably requested in the format maintained with
respect to such statements. CART shall have the right to audit CDME's books and
records no more than once in any twelve (12) month period. CART agrees that it
shall not have any right to audit any item more than two (2) years old and may
not seek information on or dispute any items not included within the audit
period.

7.      COMMERCIAL PARTNERSHIPS AND SITE ADVERTISING.

        CDME will provide for all [*] in connection with the Site, subject to

8.      EQUITY CONSIDERATION.

        Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, CDME
will cause Quokka Sports, Inc. to issue to CART the Quokka Warrants as set forth
in Exhibit G.

9.      CART SPONSOR PROTECTION.

        CDME will provide for all advertising and commercial partnership sales
in connection with the Site, subject to the following conditions: (i) CART will
identify a limited number of categories where CDME will only approach one
company designated by CART about a commercial partnership. These companies shall
be designated in a list of current CART official sponsors to be appended hereto
as Exhibit K such list to identify the expiration dates of such Sponsor
relationships. Once a current CART sponsor agreement expires, then such company
will be handled in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (iii)
hereof If CDME were unable to sell such company any commercial partnership
packages, then CDME will not approach any competitors; (ii) CART will use all
appropriate efforts to introduce the CDME sales team to key personnel at the
companies designated under (i) above; (iii) As to other important CART
customers, CDME will negotiate first with such companies for such packages. If
CDME is unable to reach an agreement with such companies, then CDME is free to
approach and sell a package to any competitor; (iv) CART and CDME shall have the
opportunity to purchase one or more of the categories at a predetermined price.
Having purchased a category, CDME or CART is free to resell such packages at a
higher price if it so chooses without any duty to account for or otherwise share
revenues with the other party; and (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood that as to sponsor negotiations currently in progress by CART,
website involvement already committed by CART shall be honored and shall not be
considered as advertising and commercial partnership sales for purposes of this
Agreement. Subject to the terms stated above, CART releases all categories of
commercial partnership to CDME (except for tobacco and subject to the other
constraints described in this Agreement) for the duration of this Agreement.
CDME will agree not to sell site commercial partnerships competitive with CART
sponsors identified in Exhibit H until the current respective agreement
terminates, at which time the specific category would be released by CART to
CDME, as provided above. Prior to the release of the category, CDME will agree
to continue all applicable brand identification on the site in no less
prominence than currently exists.

otherwise, even if either party has warned or been warned of the possibility of
any such loss or damage. This Section 22 is not intended to limit the
indemnification obligation of the parties with respect to third party claims
pursuant to Section 15 hereof.

23.     GENERAL PROVISIONS.

        23.1 This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties. All prior
understandings, oral or written, if any, including but not limited to that
certain Letter of Agreement executed by the parties on January 4, 1999, have
been merged herein, or, if not merged, are hereby canceled. No representations
have been made except those expressly set forth herein.

        23.2 Any amendment or discharge of this Agreement must be in writing and
signed by an officer of the party.

        23.3 This Agreement may not be assigned in whole nor in part by either
party without the other party's prior written consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. This agreement shall be binding upon both CART and
CDME and their successors and permitted assignees.

        23.4 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed so as to require the
commission of any act contrary to law, and whenever there is any conflict
between any provision of this Agreement and any material statute, law,
ordinance, rule or regulation, the latter shall prevail, but in such event, any
provisions of this Agreement so affected shall be curtailed and limited only to
the extent necessary to bring them within the applicable requirements, and the
remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The parties
hereby agree that they shall comply with the requirements of the U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act (the "Act") and shall refrain from any payments to third
parties which would cause either party to violate the Act.

        23.5 Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be promptly
submitted to and heard and determined by the American Arbitration Association
pursuant to its commercial arbitration rules in effect at the time of any
dispute. The determination of the arbitrator shall be binding on the parties,
shall not be appealable, and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction on the matter. The prevailing party (as determined
by the


                                      17.
<PAGE>   19


arbitrator) shall be entitled to recover from the other party all costs
and expenses (including but not limited to attorney fees) incurred in enforcing
its rights under the arbitration process.

        23.6 A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement
in any instance shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver of such term or
condition for the future or any subsequent breach thereof. All rights, remedies,
undertakings, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be
cumulative and none of them shall be in limitation of any other right, remedy,
undertaking, obligation or agreement of either party.

        23.7 The headings hereunder are for ease of reference only and are not
part of this Agreement.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have signed this Agreement this
20th day of March 1999.

ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY

                       WARRANT TO PURCHASE 11,364 SHARES
                         OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK OF
                              QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.
                          (Void after March 19, 2004)



This certifies that CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO RACING TEAMS, INC.  or its assigns (the
"Holder"), for value received, is entitled to purchase from QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company") having a place of business at 525 Brannan
Street, San Francisco, California, a maximum of Eleven Thousand Three Hundred
Sixty Four (11,364) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock (as
defined below) for cash at such time(s) as set forth below and at a purchase
price of $11.00 per share (the "Stock Purchase Price") up to and including 5:00
p.m. (Pacific time) on the date five (5) years from the date of this Warrant,
such date being referred to herein as the "Expiration Date," upon surrender to
the Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company
may advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the
Form of Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and, if
applicable, upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase
Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
determined in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Stock Purchase Price
and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 3 of this Warrant. The term "Warrant Stock" refers to the
Company's Series C Preferred Stock and any other securities at any time
receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the
Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated effective as of January 1, 1999, between the
Holder and CART DIGITAL MEDIA ENTERPRISES, LLC ("CDME"), or any other agreement
entered into among the Holder, the Company and CDME (or any combination thereof)
pursuant to the Agreement, is terminated, either by the Company or CDME as a
result of uncured material breach by Holder or by Holder for other than an
uncured material breach by the Company or CDME, such an event (the "Termination
Event") will cause this Warrant to become immediately void and the date of such
Termination Event (the "Termination Date") will be deemed the "Expiration Date"
for purposes hereof.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary
however, upon a Termination Event, the Holder will have ninety (90) days from
the Termination Date to exercise this Warrant to the extent of the Vested
Portion as of the Termination Date (as determined under Section 1.1 below).

<PAGE>   28
     This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

     1.   VESTING; EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

          1.1  VESTING.  The portion of this Warrant that is exercisable at any
given time is determined by the chart below and is referred to as the "Vested
Portion."

</TABLE>


          1.2  EXERCISE.  The Vested Portion of this Warrant is exercisable at
the option of the Holder, at any time or from time to time up to the Expiration
Date for all or any part of the shares of Warrant Stock (but not for a fraction
of a share) which may be purchased hereunder. The Company agrees that the
shares of Warrant Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to
be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of business of the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered,
properly endorsed, the completed, executed Form of Subscription delivered and
payment made for such shares. Certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased; together with any other securities or property to which the Holder
hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof
by the Company at the Company's expense within a reasonable time after the
rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. In case of a
purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant,
the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under the
Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a reasonable
time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of
Warrant Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered
in the name of such Holder.

          1.3  NET ISSUE EXERCISE.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to
the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Warrant
Stock is greater than the Stock Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as
set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may
elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this
Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Form of
Subscription and notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue
to the Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following
formula:



               X = Y (A-B)
                   -------
                       A

               Where X =  the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to
the Holder



                                       2.

<PAGE>   29
               Y  =  the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under the
                     Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
                     exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at
                     the date of such calculation)

               A  =  the fair market value of one share of the Company's Warrant
                     Stock (at the date of such calculation)

               B  =  Stock Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such
                     calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Warrant
Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith;
provided, however, that in the event the Company makes an initial public
offering of its Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering") the fair market
value per share shall be the product of (i) the per share offering price to the
public of the Initial Public Offering if the exercise occurs upon the closing of
the Company's Initial Public Offering or, if later, the closing price of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of exercise, and (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each share of Warrant Stock is convertible at the time
of such exercise.

     2.  SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES.  The Company covenants
and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (and shares of its Common
Stock for issuance on conversion of such Warrant Stock) will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees
that, during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued Warrant Stock and Common Stock, or other securities and property, when
and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure
that such shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities
exchange upon which the Warrant Stock or Common Stock may be listed; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under
Federal or State securities laws with respect to such exercise. The Company will
not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Stock Purchase
Price (as set forth in Section 3 hereof) (i) if the total number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding
warrants, together with all shares of Warrant Stock then outstanding and all
shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the
conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the
total number of shares of Warrant Stock then authorized by the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) if the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable after such action upon the conversion of all such shares of
Warrant Stock, together with all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all such shares of Warrant
Stock, together with


                                       3.
<PAGE>   30
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all
convertible securities then outstanding would exceed the total number of shares
of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

     3.   ADJUSTMENT OF STOCK PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The Stock
Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Stock
Purchase Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase (subject to the other provisions hereof), at the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying
the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the
number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment.

          3.1  SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF STOCK. In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Warrant Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

          3.2  DIVIDENDS IN WARRANT STOCK, OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY,
RECLASSIFICATION. If at any time or from time to time the Holders of Warrant
Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive,
without payment therefor,

               (a)  Warrant Stock or any shares of stock or other securities
which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable
for Warrant Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

               (b)  any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend,
or

               (c)  Warrant Stock or additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification,
combination of shares of similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of
Warrant Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall
be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above), then and in each such case, the
Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive,
in addition to the number of shares of Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock
and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date
of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Warrant Stock as of
the date on which holders of Warrant Stock received or became entitled to
receive such shares of all other additional stock and other securities and
property.


                                       4.
<PAGE>   31
     3.3  REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE.  If
any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of
the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other
transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Warrant Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property (an
"Organic Change"), then, as a condition of such Organic Change, lawful and
adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall
thereafter (subject to the other provisions hereof) have the right to purchase
and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Warrant Stock of the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the
rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or
property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number
of outstanding shares of such Warrant Stock equal to the number of shares of
such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise
of the rights represented hereby; provided, however, that in the event the value
of the stock, securities or other assets or property (determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors of the Company) issuable or payable with respect to
one share of the Warrant Stock of the Company immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby is
in excess of the Stock Purchase Price hereof effective at the time of a merger
and securities received in such reorganization, if any, are publicly traded,
then this Warrant shall expire unless exercised prior to such Organic Change. In
the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the
Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant
to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustments of the Stock Purchase Price and of the number of shares
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter
be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company will not effect any
such consolidation, merger or sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof,
the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written
instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders of a
majority of the warrants to purchase Warrant Stock then outstanding, executed
and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of
such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to
such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

     3.4  CONVERSION OF WARRANT STOCK.  In case all or any portion of the
authorized and outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company are redeemed
or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Warrant Stock
otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon
exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Warrant Stock is so
redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the "Triggering Date"),
shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Triggering Date, the
shares of Common Stock of the Company that would have been received if this
Warrant had been exercised in full and the Warrant Stock received thereupon had
been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the
Stock Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient
obtained by dividing (x)



                                       5.
<PAGE>   32
the aggregate Stock Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Warrant
Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Triggering
Date by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Triggering Date, all subject to
further adjustment as provided herein.

          3.5  CERTAIN EVENTS. If any change in the outstanding Warrant Stock of
the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this
Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly
protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance with such
provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an adjustment
in the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the Stock
Purchase Price or the application of such provisions, so as to protect such
purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give the
Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Stock Purchase Price
the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the
Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had he continued to hold such
shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

          3.6  NOTICES OF CHANGES. Immediately upon any adjustment in the number
or class of shares subject to this Warrant and of the Stock Purchase Price, the
Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in
reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

     4.   ISSUE TAX. The issuance of certificates for shares of Warrant Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of
the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then
Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

     5.   CLOSING OF BOOKS. The Company will at no time close its transfer books
against the transfer of any warrant or of any shares of Warrant Stock issued or
issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which interferes with
the timely exercise of this Warrant.

     6.   NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder
hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of
the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of
the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of
this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable
hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been
exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
holder to purchase shares of Warrant Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of
the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability
of such Holder for the Stock Purchase Price or as a shareholder of the Company,
whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

     7.   TRANSFER. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer
taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed.

                                       6.

Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents
and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed
negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so
endorsed, may be treated by the Company, at the Company's option, and all other
persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose
and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant,
or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company any notice to the
contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may
treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), covering the disposition or sale of
this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, and registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, such Holder will not sell, transfer, pledge or
hypothecate any or all such Warrants or Warrant Stock, unless either (i) the
Company has received an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is not
required in connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such securities
is made pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1993 Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company hereby confirms its intent, after delivery of the opinion described
above, to consent to the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of this Warrant
to holders of membership interest in the Holder.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, it will not transfer or dispose
of any Warrant Stock or Common Stock (or other securities) that it may acquire
upon exercise of rights under this Warrant for a period specified by the
representatives of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the
Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date
of the Company's Initial Public Offering.

     8.   RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SURVIVE EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights and
obligations of the Company, of the holder of this Warrant and of the holder of
shares of Warrant Stock, shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

     9.   MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

     10.  NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered
or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such holder at its
address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address
indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other address
as either may from time to time provide to the other.

     11.  BINDING EFFECT ON SUCCESSORS. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall survive the exercise and

                                       7.
<PAGE>   34
termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants and agreements of the Company
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder hereof.

     12.  DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS AND GOVERNING LAW. The description headings of
the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience
only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall
be governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     13.  LOST WARRANTS. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder
hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will
make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     14.  FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay
the holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then effective Stock Purchase Price.

     15.  INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT. Promptly following the date hereof, the
Company shall seek the necessary stockholder approval to amend and restate the
Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement dated December 23, 1998 (the
"Investors' Rights Agreement") to include this Warrant (and any other Warrants
issued to Holder) as a Warrant (as such term is defined in the Investors' Rights
Agreement) (such amendment and restatement being referred to hereinafter as the
"Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement"). Promptly following such
stockholder approval, each of the Company and the Holder shall execute and
deliver to the other an Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement.

                                       8.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR

                       WARRANT TO PURCHASE 16,234 SHARES
                         OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK OF
                              QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.
                          (VOID AFTER MARCH 19, 2004)

This certifies that CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO RACING TEAMS, INC. or its assigns (the
"Holder"), for value received, is entitled to purchase from QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company") having a place of business at 525 Brannan
Street, San Francisco, California, a maximum of Sixteen Thousand Two Hundred
Thirty Four (16,234)  fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock (as
defined below) for cash at such time(s) as set forth below and at a purchase
price of $15.40 per share (the "Stock Purchase Price") up to and including 5:00
p.m. (Pacific time) on the date five (5) years from the date of this Warrant,
such date being referred to herein as the "Expiration Date," upon surrender to
the Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company
may advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the
Form of Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and, if
applicable, upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase
Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
determined in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Stock Purchase Price
and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 3 of this Warrant. The term "Warrant Stock" refers to the
Company's Series C Preferred Stock and any other securities at any time
receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the
Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated effective as of January 1, 1999, between the
Holder and CART DIGITAL MEDIA ENTERPRISES, LLC ("CDME"), or any other agreement
entered into among the Holder, the Company and CDME (or any combination
thereof) pursuant to the Agreement, is terminated, either by the Company or
CDME as a result of uncured material breach by Holder or by Holder for other
than an uncured material breach by the Company or CDME, such an event (the
"Termination Event") will cause this Warrant to become immediately void and the
date of such Termination Event (the "Termination Date") will be deemed the
"Expiration Date" for purposes hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary however, upon a Termination Event, the Holder will have
ninety (90) days from the Termination Date to exercise this Warrant to the
extent of the Vested Portion as of the Termination Date (as determined under
Section 1.1 below).


<PAGE>   38
     This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

     1.   VESTING; EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

          1.1  VESTING. The portion of this Warrant that is exercisable at any
given time is determined by the chart below and is referred to as the "Vested
Portion."

          16,234             December 31, 2000                      $15.40
</TABLE>

          1.2  EXERCISE. The Vested Portion of this Warrant is exercisable at
the option of the Holder, at any time or from time to time up to the Expiration
Date for all or any part of the shares of Warrant Stock (but not for a fraction
of a share) which may be purchased hereunder. The Company agrees that the shares
of Warrant Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be
issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close
of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered,
properly endorsed, the completed, executed Form of Subscription delivered and
payment made for such shares. Certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased, together with any other securities or property to which the Holder
hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof
by the Company at the Company's expense within a reasonable time after the
rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. In case of a purchase
of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the
Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under the
Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a reasonable
time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of
Warrant Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered
in the name of such Holder.

          1.3  NET ISSUE EXERCISE. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Warrant Stock
is greater than the Stock Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set
forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect
to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or
the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Form of
Subscription and notice of such election in which event the company shall issue
to the Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following
formula;

              X=Y(A-B)
                ------
                  A

                        the Holder




                                       2.
<PAGE>   39
                   Y=   the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under
                        the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is
                        being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being
                        canceled (at the date of such calculation)

                   A=   the fair market value of one share of the Company's
                        Warrant Stock (at the date of such calculation)

                   B=   Stock Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such
                        calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of
Warrant Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good
faith; provided, however, that in the event the Company makes an initial public
offering of its Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering") the fair market
value per share shall be the product of (i) the per share offering price to the
public of the Initial Public Offering if the exercise occurs upon the closing
of the Company's Initial Public Offering or, if later, the closing price of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of exercise, and (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock into which each share of Warrant Stock is convertible at the
time of such exercise.

     2.   SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants
and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (and shares of its Common
Stock for issuance on conversion of such Warrant Stock) will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees
that, during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued Warrant Stock and Common Stock, or other securities and property, when
and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure
that such shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities
exchange upon which the Warrant Stock or Common Stock may be listed; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under
Federal or State securities laws with respect to such exercise. The Company will
not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Stock Purchase
Price (as set forth in Section 3 hereof) (i) if the total number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding
warrants, together with all shares of Warrant Stock then outstanding and all
shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the
conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the
total number of shares of Warrant Stock then authorized by the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) if the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable after such action upon the conversion of all such shares of
Warrant Stock, together with all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all such shares of Warrant
Stock, together with

                                       3.
<PAGE>   40
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all
convertible securities then outstanding would exceed the total number of shares
of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

     3.   ADJUSTMENT OF STOCK PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The Stock
Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Stock
Purchase Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase (subject to the other provisions hereof), at the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying
the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the
number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment.

          3.1  SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF STOCK. In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Warrant Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

          3.2  DIVIDENDS IN WARRANT STOCK, OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY,
RECLASSIFICATION. If at any time or from time to time the Holders of Warrant
Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to
receive, without payment therefor.

               (a)  Warrant Stock or any shares of stock or other securities
which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable
for Warrant Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

               (b)  any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend,
or

               (c)  Warrant Stock or additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification,
combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of
Warrant Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall
be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above), then and in each such case, the
Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive,
in addition to the number of shares of Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock
and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date
of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Warrant Stock as of
the date on which holders of Warrant Stock received or became entitled to
receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and
property.

                                       4.
<PAGE>   41
        3.3     REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR
SALE.  If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the
capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company
with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets
or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Warrant
Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or
property (an "Organic Change"), then, as a condition of such Organic Change,
lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder
hereof shall thereafter (subject to the other provisions hereof) have the right
to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Warrant Stock of the
Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of
the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or other assets
or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a
number of outstanding shares of such Warrant Stock equal to the number of
shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon
the exercise of the rights represented hereby; provided, however, that in the
event the value of the stock, securities or other assets or property
(determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) issuable
or payable with respect to one share of the Warrant Stock of the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the
rights represented hereby is in excess of the Stock Purchase Price hereof
effective at the time of a merger and securities received in such
reorganization, if any, are publicly traded, then this Warrant shall expire
unless exercised prior to such Organic Change. In the event of any Organic
Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the
rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the
provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of
the Stock Purchase Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation
to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise hereof. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or
sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if
other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or the corporation
purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders of a majority of the warrants
to purchase Warrant Stock then outstanding, executed and mailed or delivered to
the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on
the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares
of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

        3.4     CONVERSION OF WARRANT STOCK.  In case all or any portion of the
authorized and outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company are redeemed
or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Warrant Stock
otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon
exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Warrant Stock is so
redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the "Triggering Date"),
shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Triggering Date, the
shares of Common Stock of the Company that would have been received if this
Warrant had been exercised in full and the Warrant Stock received thereupon had
been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the
Stock Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient
obtained by dividing (x)


                                       5.
<PAGE>   42
the aggregate Stock Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Warrant
Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the
Triggering Date by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustments as provided herein.

        3.5     CERTAIN EVENTS.  If any change in the outstanding Warrant Stock
of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of
this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not
fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance
with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an
adjustment in the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the
Stock Purchase Price or the application of such provisions, so as to protect
such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give
the Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Stock Purchase
Price the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the
Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had he continued to hold such
shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

        3.6     NOTICES OF CHANGE.  Immediately upon any adjustment in the
number or class of shares subject to this Warrant and of the Stock Purchase
Price, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting
forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

   4.   ISSUE TAX.  The issuance of certificates for shares of Warrant Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of
the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then
Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

   5.   CLOSING OF BOOKS.  The Company will at no time close its transfer
books against the transfer of any warrant or of any shares of Warrant Stock
issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which
interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

   6.   NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder
hereof the right to vote or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company
or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.
No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant
or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until,
and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised. No
provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the holder to
purchase shares of Warrant Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights
or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such
Holder for the Stock Purchase Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether
such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

   7.   TRANSFER.  Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer
taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed.

Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents
and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed
negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so
endorsed, may be treated by the Company, at the Company's option, and all other
persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose
and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant,
or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat
the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1993 Act"), covering the disposition or sale of
this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, and registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, such Holder will not sell, transfer, pledge or
hypothecate any or all such Warrants or Warrant Stock, unless either (i) the
Company has received an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is not
required in connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such securities
is made pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company hereby confirms its intent, after delivery of the opinion described
above, to consent to the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of this Warrant
to holders of membership interests in the Holder.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, it will not transfer or dispose
of any Warrant Stock or Common Stock (or other securities) that it may acquire
upon exercise of rights under this Warrant for a period specified by the
representatives of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of
the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective
date of the Company's Initial Public Offering.

     8.   RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SURVIVE EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights and
obligations of the Company, of the holder of this Warrant and of the holder of
shares of Warrant Stock, shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

     9.   MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

     10.  NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered
or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such holder at its
address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address
indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other address
as either may from time to time provide to the other.

     11.  BINDING EFFECT ON SUCCESSORS. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall survive the exercise and



                                       7.
<PAGE>   44
termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants and agreements of the Company
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder hereof.

     12.  DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS AND GOVERNING LAW. The description headings of
the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for
convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the
parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     13.  LOST WARRANTS. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder
hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will
make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     14.  FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share,
pay the holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then effective Stock Purchase Price.

     15.  INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT. Promptly following the date hereof, the
Company shall seek the necessary stockholder approval to amend and restate the
Amended and Restated Investors; Rights Agreement dated December 23, 1998 (the
"Investors' Rights Agreement") to include this Warrant (and any other Warrants
issued to Holder) as a Warrant (as such term is defined in the Investors'
Rights Agreement) (such amendment and restatement being referred to hereinafter
as the "Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement"). Promptly following
such stockholder approval, each of the Company and the Holder shall execute and
deliver to the other an Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement.

                         WARRANT TO PURCHASE 17,393 SHARES
                         OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK OF
                              QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.
                          (Void after March 19, 2004)

This certifies that CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO RACING TEAMS, INC. or its assigns (the
"Holder"), for value received, is entitled to purchase from QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company") having a place of business at 525 Brannan
Street, San Francisco, California, a maximum of Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred
Ninety Three (17,393) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock (as
defined below) for cash at such time(s) as set forth below and a purchase price
of $21.56 per share (the "Stock Purchase Price") up to and including 5:00 p.m.
(Pacific time) on the date five (5) years from the date of this Warrant, such
date being referred to herein as the "Expiration Date," upon surrender to the
Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company may
advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of
Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and, if applicable, upon
payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase Price for the number
of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance
with the provisions hereof. The Stock Purchase Price and the number of shares
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this
Warrant. The term "Warrant Stock" refers to the Company's Series C Preferred
Stock and any other securities at any time receivable or issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the
Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated effective as of January 1, 1999, between the
Holder and CART DIGITAL MEDIA ENTERPRISES, LLC ("CDME"), or any other agreement
entered into among the Holder, the Company and CDME (or any combination thereof)
pursuant to the Agreement, is terminated, either by the Company or CDME as a
result of uncured material breach by Holder or by Holder for other than an
uncured material breach by the Company or CDME, such an event (the "Termination
Event") will cause this Warrant to become immediately void and the date of such
Termination Event (the "Termination Date") will be deemed the "Expiration Date"
for purposes hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary
however, upon a Termination Event, the Holder will have ninety (90) days from
the Termination Date to exercise this Warrant to the extent of the Vested
Portion as of the Termination Date (as determined under Section 1.1 below).


<PAGE>   48
     This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

     1.   VESTING; EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

          1.1  VESTING.  The portion of this Warrant that is exercisable at any
given time is determined by the chart below and is referred to as the "Vested
Portion."

             17,393           December 31, 2001        $21.56
</TABLE>

          1.2  EXERCISE.  The Vested Portion of this Warrant is exercisable at
the option of the Holder, at any time or from time to time up to the Expiration
Date for all or any part of the shares of Warrant Stock (but not for a fraction
of a share) which may be purchased hereunder. The company agrees that the
shares of Warrant Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to
be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the
close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered, properly endorsed, the completed, executed Form of Subscription
delivered and payment made for such shares. Certificates for the shares of
Warrant Stock so purchased, together with any other securities or property to
which the Holder hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to
the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company's expense within a reasonable
time after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. In
case of a purchase of less than all the shares which may be purchased under
this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a
new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable
under the Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a
reasonable time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such
denominations of Warrant Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and
shall be registered in the name of such Holder.

          1.3  NET ISSUE EXERCISE.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to
the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Warrant
Stock is greater than the Stock Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as
set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may
elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant
(or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the company together with the properly endorsed Form of
Subscription and notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue
to the Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following
formula:


               X = Y (A-B)
                   -------
                       A

               Where X =  the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to
                          the Holder

                         Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable
                             under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the
                             Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the
                             Warrant being canceled (at the date of such
                             calculation)

                         A = the fair market value of one share of the
                             Company's Warrant Stock (at the date of such
                             calculation)

                         B = Stock Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of
                             such calculation)

For purposed of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of
Warrant Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good
faith; provided, however, that in the event the Company makes an initial
public offering of its Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering") the fair
market value per share shall be the product of (i) the per share offering price
to the public of the Initial Public Offering if the exercise occurs upon the
closing of the Company's Initial Public Offering or, if later, the closing
price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of exercise, and (ii) the
number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Warrant Stock is
convertible at the time of such exercise.

     2.   SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES.  The Company
covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (and shares of its
Common Stock for issuance on conversion of such Warrant Stock) will, upon
issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants
and agrees that, during the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and
reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the
subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of
authorized but unissued Warrant Stock and Common Stock, or other securities and
property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be
necessary to assure that such shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any
domestic securities exchange upon which the Warrant Stock or Common Stock may
be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect
a registration under Federal or State securities laws with respect to such
exercise. The Company will not take any action which would result in any
adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price (as set forth in Section 3 hereof) (i)
if the total number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable after such action upon
exercise of all outstanding warrants, together with all shares of Warrant Stock
then outstanding and all shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon exercise of
all options and upon the conversion of all convertible securities then
outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Warrant Stock then
authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) if the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon the conversion
of all such shares of Warrant Stock, together with all shares of Common Stock
then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all such
shares of Warrant Stock, together with



                                       3.
<PAGE>   50
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all convertible
securities then outstanding would exceed the total number of shares of Common
Stock then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

     3.   ADJUSTMENT OF STOCK PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.  The Stock
Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Stock
Purchase Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase (subject to the other provisions hereof), at the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the
Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the
number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment.

          3.1  SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF STOCK.  In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Warrant Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

          3.2  DIVIDENDS IN WARRANT STOCK, OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY,
RECLASSIFICATION.  If at any time or from time to time the Holders of Warrant
Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive,
without payment therefor,

               (a)  Warrant Stock or any shares of stock or other securities
which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable
for Warrant Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

               (b)  any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend,
or

               (c)  Warrant Stock or additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification,
combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of
Warrant Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall
be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above), then and in each such case, the
Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive,
in addition to the number of shares of Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock
and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date
of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Warrant Stock as of
the date on which holders of Warrant Stock received or became entitled to
receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and
property.



                                       4.



<PAGE>   51
          3.3  REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OF SALE.
If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock
of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other
transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Warrant Stock shall
be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or property (an
"Organic Change"), then, as a condition of such Organic Change, lawful and
adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof
shall thereafter (subject to the other provisions hereof) have the right to
purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Warrant Stock of the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the
rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or
property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number
of outstanding shares of such Warrant Stock equal to the number of shares of
such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise
of the rights represented hereby; provided, however, that in the event the value
of the stock, securities or other assets or property (determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors of the Company) issuable or payable with respect to
one share of the Warrant Stock of the Company immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby is
in excess of the Stock Purchase Price hereof effective at the time of a merger
and securities received in such reorganization, if any, are publicly traded,
then this Warrant shall expire unless exercised prior to such Organic Change. In
the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the
Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant
to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustments of the Stock Purchase Price and of the number of shares
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter
be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company will not effect any
such consolidation, merger or sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof,
the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written
instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders of a
majority of the warrants to purchase Warrant Stock then outstanding, executed
and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of
such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to
such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

          3.4  CONVERSION OF WARRANT STOCK.  In case all or any portion of the
authorized and outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company are redeemed
or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Warrant Stock
otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon
exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Warrant Stock is so
redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the "Triggering Date"),
shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Triggering Date, the
shares of Common Stock of the Company that would have been received if this
Warrant had been exercised in full and the Warrant Stock received thereupon had
been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the
Stock Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient
obtained by dividing (x)



                                       5.
<PAGE>   52
the aggregate Stock Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Warrant
Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the
Triggering Date by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

          3.5  CERTAIN EVENTS.  If any change in the outstanding Warrant Stock
of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of
this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not
fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance
with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an
adjustment in the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the
Stock Purchase Price or the application of such provisions, so as to protect
such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give
the Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Stock Purchase
Price the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the
Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had he continued to hold such
shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

          3.6  NOTICES OF CHANGE.  Immediately upon any adjustment in the
number or class of shares subject to this Warrant and of the Stock Purchase
Price, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting
forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

     4.   ISSUE TAX.  The issuance of certificates for shares of Warrant Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of
the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then
Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

     5.   CLOSING OF BOOKS.  The Company will at no time close its transfer
books against the transfer of any warrant or of any shares of Warrant Stock
issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which
interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

     6.   NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder
hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder the
Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the
Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this
Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder
until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised. No
provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the holder to
purchase shares of Warrant Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights
or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such
Holder for the Stock Purchase Price or as a shareholder of the Company, whether
such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

     7.   TRANSFER.  Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer
taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed.


                                       6.

Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents
and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed
negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so
endorsed, may be treated by the Company, at the Company's option, and all other
persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose
and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant,
or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat
the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), covering the disposition
or sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, and registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, such Holder will not sell, transfer,
pledge or hypothecate any or all such Warrants or Warrant Stock, unless either
(i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is
not required in connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such
securities is made pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company hereby confirms its intent, after delivery of the
opinion described above, to consent to the sale, transfer, pledge or
hypothecation of this Warrant to holders of membership interests in the Holder.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, it will not transfer or dispose
of any Warrant Stock or Common Stock (or other securities) that it may acquire
upon exercise of rights under this Warrant for a period specified by the
representatives of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of
the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective
date of the Company's Initial Public Offering.

     8.   RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SURVIVE EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights and
obligations of the Company, of the holder of this Warrant and of the holder of
shares of Warrant Stock, shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

     9.   MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

     10.  NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered
or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such holder at its
address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address
indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other address
as either may from time to time provide to the other.

     11.  BINDING EFFECT ON SUCCESSORS. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall survive the exercise and

                                       7.
<PAGE>   54
termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants and agreements of the Company
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holders hereof.

     12.  DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS AND GOVERNING LAW. The description of headings
of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for
convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the
parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     13.  LOST WARRANTS. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder
hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will
make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     14.  FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share,
pay the holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then effective Stock Purchase Price.

     15.  INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT. Promptly following the date hereof, the
Company shall seek the necessary stockholder approval to amend and restate the
Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement dated December 23, 1998 (the
"Investors' Rights Agreement") to include this Warrant (and any other Warrants
issued to a Holder) as a Warrant (as such term is defined in the Investors'
Rights Agreement) (such amendment and restatement being referred to hereinafter
as the "Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement"). Promptly following
such stockholder approval, each of the Company and the Holder shall execute and
deliver to the other an Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT

                         WARRANT TO PURCHASE 16,585 SHARES
                         OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK OF
                              QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.
                          (VOID AFTER MARCH 19, 2004)

This certifies that CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO RACING TEAMS, INC. or its assigns (the
"Holder"), for value received, is entitled to purchase from QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company") having a place of business at 525 Brannan
Street, San Francisco, California, a maximum of Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred
Eighty Five (16,585) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock (as
defined below) for cash at such time(s) as set forth below and at a purchase
price of $30.18 per share (the "Stock Purchase Price") up to and including 5:00
p.m. (Pacific time) on the date five (5) years from the date of this Warrant,
such date being referred to herein as the "Expiration Date," upon surrender to
the Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company
may advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the
Form of Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and, if
applicable, upon payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase
Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised
determined in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Stock Purchase Price
and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 3 of this Warrant. The term "Warrant Stock" refers to the
Company's Series C Preferred Stock and any other securities at any time
receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the
Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated effective as of January 1, 1999, between the
Holder and CART DIGITAL MEDIA ENTERPRISES, LLC ("CDME"), or any other agreement
entered into among the Holder, the Company and CDME (or any combination thereof)
pursuant to the Agreement, is terminated, either by the Company or CDME as a
result of uncured material breach by Holder or by Holder for other than an
uncured material breach by the Company or CDME, such an event (the "Termination
Event") will cause this Warrant to become immediately void and the date of such
Termination Event (the "Termination Date") will be deemed the "Expiration Date"
for purposes hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary
however, upon a Termination Event, the Holder will have ninety (90) days from
the Termination Date to exercise this Warrant to the extent of the Vested
Portion as of the Termination Date (as determined under Section 1.1 below).


<PAGE>   58
     This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

     1.   VESTING; EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

          1.1  VESTING. The portion of this Warrant that is exercisable at any
given time is determined by the chart below and is referred to as the "Vested
Portion."

</TABLE>

     1.2  EXERCISE. The Vested Portion of this Warrant is exercisable at the
option of the Holder, at any time or from time to time up to the Expiration Date
for all or any part of the shares of Warrant Stock (but not for a fraction of a
share) which may be purchased hereunder. The Company agrees that the shares of
Warrant Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued
to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of
business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, properly
endorsed, the completed, executed Form of Subscription delivered and payment
made for such shares. Certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased,
together with any other securities or property to which the Holder hereof is
entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof by the
Company at the Company's expense within a reasonable time after the rights
represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. In case of a purchase of
less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the Company
shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of
like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under the Warrant
surrendered upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time.
Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Warrant
Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered in the
name of such Holder.

     1.3  NET ISSUE EXERCISE. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Warrant Stock
is greater than the Stock Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set
forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect
to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or
the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Form of
Subscription and notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue
to the Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following
formula:

          X = Y(A-B)
              ------
                 A

          Where X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to
                    the Holder

          Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under the
              Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised,
              the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such
              calculation)

          A = the fair market value of one share of the Company's Warrant Stock
              (at the date of such calculation)

          B = Stock Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of Warrant
Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith;
provided, however, that in the event the Company makes an initial public
offering of its Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering") the fair market
value per share shall be the product of (i) the per share offering price to the
public of the Initial Public Offering if the exercise occurs upon the closing of
the Company's Initial Public Offering or, if later, the closing price of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of exercise, and (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each share of Warrant Stock is convertible at the time
of such exercise.

     2.   SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants
and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (and shares of its Common
Stock for issuance on conversion of such Warrant Stock) will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees
that, during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued Warrant Stock and Common Stock, or other securities and property, when
and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure
that such shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities
exchange upon which the Warrant Stock or Common Stock may be listed; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under
Federal or State securities laws with respect to such exercise. The Company will
not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Stock Purchase
Price (as set forth in Section 3 hereof) (i) if the total number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding
warrants, together with all shares of Warrant Stock then outstanding and all
shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the
conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the
total number of shares of Warrant Stock then authorized by the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) if the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable after such action upon the conversion of all such shares of
Warrant Stock, together with all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all such shares of Warrant
Stock, together with

                                       3.
<PAGE>   60
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all
convertible securities then outstanding would exceed the total number of shares
of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

     3.   ADJUSTMENT OF STOCK PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The Stock
Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Stock
Purchase Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase (subject to the other provisions hereof), at the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying
the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the
number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment.

          3.1  SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF STOCK. In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Warrant Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

          3.2  DIVIDENDS IN WARRANT STOCK, OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY,
RECLASSIFICATION. If at any time or from time to time the Holders of Warrant
Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to
receive, without payment therefor.

               (a)  Warrant Stock or any shares of stock or other securities
which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable
for Warrant Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

               (b)  any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend,
or

               (c)  Warrant Stock or additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification,
combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of
Warrant Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall
be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above), then and in each such case, the
Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive,
in addition to the number of shares of Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock
and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date
of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Warrant Stock as of
the date on which holders of Warrant Stock received or became entitled to
receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and
property.

                                       4.
<PAGE>   61
        3.3     REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR
SALE.  If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the
capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company
with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets
or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Warrant
Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or
property (an "Organic Change"), then, as a condition of such Organic Change,
lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder
hereof shall thereafter (subject to the other provisions hereof) have the right
to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Warrant Stock of the
Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of
the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or other assets
or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a
number of outstanding shares of such Warrant Stock equal to the number of
shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon
the exercise of the rights represented hereby; provided, however, that in the
event the value of the stock, securities or other assets or property
(determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) issuable
or payable with respect to one share of the Warrant Stock of the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the
rights represented hereby is in excess of the Stock Purchase Price hereof
effective at the time of a merger and securities received in such
reorganization, if any, are publicly traded, then this Warrant shall expire
unless exercised prior to such Organic Change. In the event of any Organic
Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the
rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the
provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of
the Stock Purchase Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation
to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise hereof. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or
sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if
other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or the corporation
purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders of a majority of the warrants
to purchase Warrant Stock then outstanding, executed and mailed or delivered to
the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on
the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares
of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

        3.4     CONVERSION OF WARRANT STOCK.  In case all or any portion of the
authorized and outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company are redeemed
or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Warrant Stock
otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon
exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Warrant Stock is so
redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the "Triggering Date"),
shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Triggering Date, the
shares of Common Stock of the Company that would have been received if this
Warrant had been exercised in full and the Warrant Stock received thereupon had
been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the
Stock Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient
obtained by dividing (x)


                                       5.
<PAGE>   62
the aggregate Stock Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Warrant
Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the
Triggering Date by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

          3.5  CERTAIN EVENTS. If any change in the outstanding Warrant Stock
of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of
this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not
fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance
with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an
adjustment in the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the
Stock Purchase Price or the application of such provisions, so as to project
such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give the
Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Stock Purchase Price
the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the
Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had he continued to hold such
shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

         3.6  NOTICES OF CHANGE. Immediately upon any adjustment in the number
or class of shares subject to this Warrant and of the Stock Purchase Price, the
Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in
reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

     4.   ISSUE TAX. the issuance of certificates for shares of Warrant Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of
the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then
Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

     5.   CLOSING OF BOOKS. The Company will at no time close its transfer
books against the transfer of any warrant or of any shares of Warrant Stock
issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which
interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

     6.        NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder
hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of
the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of
the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of
this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable
hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been
exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
holder to purchase shares of Warrant Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of
the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability
of such Holder for the Stock Purchase Price or as a shareholder of the Company,
whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

     7.   TRANSFER. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer
taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed.


                                       6.

Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents
and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed
negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so
endorsed, may be treated by the Company, at the Company's option, and all other
persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose
and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant,
or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company any notice to the
contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company
may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1993 Act"), covering the disposition
or sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, and registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, such Holder will not sell, transfer,
pledge or hypothecate any or all such Warrants or Warrant Stock, unless either
(i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is
not required in connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such
securities is made pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company hereby confirms its intent, after delivery of the
opinion described above, to consent to the sale, transfer, pledge or
hypothecation of this Warrant to holders of membership interests in the Holder.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, it will not transfer or dispose
of any Warrant Stock or Common Stock (or other securities) that it may acquire
upon exercise of rights under this Warrant for a period specified by the
representatives of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of
the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective
date of the Company's Initial Public Offering.

     8.   RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SURVIVE EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights and
obligations of the Company, of the holder of this Warrant and of the holder of
shares of Warrant Stock, shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

     9.   MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

     10.  NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered
or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such holder at its
address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address
indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other address
as either may from time to time provide to the other.

     11.  BINDING EFFECT ON SUCCESSORS. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall survive the exercise and



                                       7.
<PAGE>   64
termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants and agreements of the Company
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder hereof.

     12.  DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS AND GOVERNING LAW. The description headings of
the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for
convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the
parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     13.  LOST WARRANTS. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder
hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will
make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     14.  FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share,
pay the holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then effective Stock Purchase Price.

     15.  INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT. Promptly following the date hereof, the
Company shall seek the necessary stockholder approval to amend and restate the
Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement dated December 23, 1998 (the
"Investors' Rights Agreement") to include this Warrant (and any other Warrants
issued to Holder) as a Warrant (as such term is defined in the Investors'
Rights Agreement) (such amendment and restatement being referred to hereinafter
as the "Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement"). Promptly following
such stockholder approval, each of the Company and the Holder shall execute and
deliver to the other an Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement.

                       WARRANT TO PURCHASE 14,790 SHARES
                         OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK OF
                              QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.
                          (VOID AFTER MARCH 19, 2004)

This certifies that CHAMPIONSHIP AUTO RACING TEAMS, INC. or its assigns (the
"Holder"), for value received, is entitled to purchase from QUOKKA SPORTS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company") having a place of business at 525 Brannan
Street, San Francisco, California, a maximum of Fourteen Thousand Seven Hundred
Ninety (14,790) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock (as defined
below) for cash at such time(s) as set forth below and a purchase price of
$42.26 per share (the "Stock Purchase Price") up to and including 5:00 p.m.
(Pacific time) on the date five (5) years from the date of this Warrant, such
date being referred to herein as the "Expiration Date," upon surrender to the
Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company may
advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of
Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and, if applicable, upon
payment in cash or by check of the aggregate Stock Purchase Price for the number
of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance
with the provisions hereof. The Stock Purchase Price and the number of shares
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this
Warrant. The term "Warrant Stock" refers to the Company's Series C Preferred
Stock and any other securities at any time receivable or issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event the
Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated effective as of January 1, 1999, between the
Holder and CART DIGITAL MEDIA ENTERPRISES, LLC ("CDME"), or any other agreement
entered into among the Holder, the Company and CDME (or any combination thereof)
pursuant to the Agreement, is terminated, either by the Company or CDME as a
result of uncured material breach by Holder or by Holder for other than an
uncured material breach by the Company or CDME, such an event (the "Termination
Event") will cause this Warrant to become immediately void and the date of such
Termination Event (the "Termination Date") will be deemed the "Expiration Date"
for purposes hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary
however, upon a Termination Event, the Holder will have ninety (90) days from
the Termination Date to exercise this Warrant to the extent of the Vested
Portion as of the Termination Date (as determined under Section 1.1 below).


<PAGE>   68
     This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

     1.   VESTING; EXERCISE; ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

          1.1  VESTING. The portion of this Warrant that is exercisable at any
given time is determined by the chart below and is referred to as the "Vested
Portion."

</TABLE>

          1.2  EXERCISE. The Vested Portion of this Warrant is exercisable at
the option of the Holder, at any time or from time to time up to the Expiration
Date for all or any part of the shares of Warrant Stock (but not for a fraction
of a share) which may be purchased hereunder. The Company agrees that the shares
of Warrant Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be
issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close
of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered,
properly endorsed, the completed, executed Form of Subscription delivered and
payment made for such shares. Certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so
purchased, together with any other securities or property to which the Holder
hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder hereof
by the Company at the Company's expense within a reasonable time after the
rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised. In case of a purchase
of less than all the shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the
Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under the
Warrant surrendered upon such purchase to the Holder hereof within a reasonable
time. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of
Warrant Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered
in the name of such Holder.

          1.3  NET ISSUE EXERCISE. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Warrant Stock
is greater than the Stock Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set
forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect
to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or
the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Form of
Subscription and notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue
to the Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following
formula:

              X=Y(A-B)
                ------
                  A

              Where X=  the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to
                        the Holder



                                       2.
<PAGE>   69
                   Y=   the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under
                        the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is
                        being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being
                        canceled (at the date of such calculation)

                   A=   the fair market value of one share of the Company's
                        Warrant Stock (at the date of such calculation)

                   B=   Stock Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such
                        calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of
Warrant Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good
faith; provided, however, that in the event the Company makes an initial public
offering of its Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering") the fair market
value per share shall be the product of (i) the per share offering price to the
public of the Initial Public Offering if the exercise occurs upon the closing
of the Company's Initial Public Offering or, if later, the closing price of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of exercise, and (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock into which each share of Warrant Stock is convertible at the
time of such exercise.

     2.   SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants
and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (and shares of its Common
Stock for issuance on conversion of such Warrant Stock) will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
preemptive rights of any shareholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees
that, during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for
the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued Warrant Stock and Common Stock, or other securities and property, when
and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure
that such shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any
applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities
exchange upon which the Warrant Stock or Common Stock may be listed; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under
Federal or State securities laws with respect to such exercise. The Company will
not take any action which would result in any adjustment of the Stock Purchase
Price (as set forth in Section 3 hereof) (i) if the total number of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of all outstanding
warrants, together with all shares of Warrant Stock then outstanding and all
shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the
conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the
total number of the total number of shares of Warrant Stock then authorized by
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) if the total number of
shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon the conversion of all
such shares of Warrant Stock, together with all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all such shares
of Warrant Stock, together with

                                       3.
<PAGE>   70
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all options and upon the conversion of all
convertible securities then outstanding would exceed the total number of shares
of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

     3.   ADJUSTMENT OF STOCK PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The Stock
Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events described in this Section 3. Upon each adjustment of the Stock
Purchase Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase (subject to the other provisions hereof), at the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying
the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the
number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment.

          3.1  SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF STOCK. In case the Company shall
at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Warrant Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

          3.2  DIVIDENDS IN WARRANT STOCK, OTHER STOCK, PROPERTY,
RECLASSIFICATION. If at any time or from time to time the Holders of Warrant
Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to
receive, without payment therefor,

               (a)  Warrant Stock or any shares of stock or other securities
which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable
for Warrant Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution,

               (b)  any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend,
or

               (c)  Warrant Stock or additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification,
combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, (other than shares of
Warrant Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall
be covered by the terms of Section 3.1 above), then and in each such case, the
Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive,
in addition to the number of shares of Warrant Stock receivable thereupon, and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock
and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
clause (b) above and this clause (c)) which such Holder would hold on the date
of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Warrant Stock as of
the date on which holders of Warrant Stock received or became entitled to
receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and
property.

                                       4.
<PAGE>   71
        3.3     REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR
SALE.  If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the
capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company
with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets
or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Warrant
Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or other assets or
property (an "Organic Change"), then, as a condition of such Organic Change,
lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder
hereof shall thereafter (subject to the other provisions hereof) have the right
to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Warrant Stock of the
Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of
the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or other assets
or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a
number of outstanding shares of such Warrant Stock equal to the number of
shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon
the exercise of the rights represented hereby; provided, however, that in the
event the value of the stock, securities or other assets or property
(determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) issuable
or payable with respect to one share of the Warrant Stock of the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the
rights represented hereby is in excess of the Stock Purchase Price hereof
effective at the time of a merger and securities received in such
reorganization, if any, are publicly traded, then this Warrant shall expire
unless exercised prior to such Organic Change. In the event of any Organic
Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the
rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the
provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of
the Stock Purchase Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation
to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise hereof. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or
sale unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if
other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or the corporation
purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders of a majority of the warrants
to purchase Warrant Stock then outstanding, executed and mailed or delivered to
the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on
the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares
of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

        3.4     CONVERSION OF WARRANT STOCK.  In case all or any portion of the
authorized and outstanding shares of Warrant Stock of the Company are redeemed
or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Warrant Stock
otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon
exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Warrant Stock is so
redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the "Triggering Date"),
shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Triggering Date, the
shares of Common Stock of the Company that would have been received if this
Warrant had been exercised in full and the Warrant Stock received thereupon had
been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the
Stock Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient
obtained by dividing (x)


                                       5.
<PAGE>   72
the aggregate Stock Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Warrant
Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the
Triggering Date by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Triggering Date, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

          3.5  CERTAIN EVENTS.  If any change in the outstanding Warrant Stock
of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of
this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not
fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance
with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an
adjustment in the number and class of shares available under the Warrant, the
Stock Purchase Price or the application of such provisions, so as to protect
such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give the
Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Stock Purchase Price
the total number, class and kind of shares as he would have owned had the
Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had he continued to hold such
shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

          3.6  NOTICES OF CHANGE.  Immediately upon any adjustment in the
number or class of shares subject to this Warrant and of the Stock Purchase
Price, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting
forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

     4.   ISSUE TAX.  The issuance of certificates for shares of Warrant Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of
the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then
Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

     5.   CLOSING OF BOOKS.  The Company will at no time close its transfer
books against the transfer of any warrant or of any shares of Warrant Stock
issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrant in any manner which
interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

     6.   NO VOTING OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder
hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of
the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of
the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of
this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable
hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been
exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
Holder to purchase shares of Warrant Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of
the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability
of such Holder for the Stock Purchase Price or as a shareholder of the Company,
whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

     7.   TRANSFER.  Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer
taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed.


                                       6.
<PAGE>   73
Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents
and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed
negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so
endorsed, may be treated by the Company, at the Company's option, and all other
persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose
and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant,
or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat
the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), covering the disposition
or sale of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, and registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, such Holder will not sell, transfer,
pledge or hypothecate any or all such Warrants or Warrant Stock, unless either
(i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such registration is
not required in connection with such disposition or (ii) the sale of such
securities is made pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company hereby confirms its intent, after delivery of the
opinion described above, to consent to the sale, transfer, pledge or
hypothecation of this Warrant to holders of membership interests in the Holder.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, it will not transfer or dispose
of any Warrant Stock or Common Stock (or other securities) that it may acquire
upon exercise of rights under this Warrant for a period specified by the
representatives of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of
the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective
date of the Company's Initial Public Offering.

     8.   RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SURVIVE EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights and
obligations of the Company, of the holder of this Warrant and of the holder of
shares of Warrant Stock, shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

     9.   MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.

     10.  NOTICES. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted
to be given or delivered to the holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered
or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such holder at its
address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address
indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other address
as either may from time to time provide to the other.

     11.  BINDING EFFECT ON SUCCESSORS. This Warrant shall be binding upon any
corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets. All of the obligations of the
Company relating to the Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall survive the exercise and

                                       7.
<PAGE>   74
termination of this Warrant. All of the covenants and agreements of the Company
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder hereof.

     12.  DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS AND GOVERNING LAW. The description headings of
the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for
convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the
parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     13.  LOST WARRANTS. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder
hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will
make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     14.  FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay
the holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then effective Stock Purchase Price.

     15.  INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT. Promptly following the date hereof, the
Company shall seek the necessary stockholder approval to amend and restate the
Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement dated December 23, 1998 (the
"Investors' Rights Agreement") to include this Warrant) and any other Warrants
issued to Holder) as a Warrant (as such term is defined in the Investors' Rights
Agreement) (such amendment and restatement being referred to hereinafter as the
"Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement"). Promptly following such
stockholder approval, each of the Company and the Holder shall execute and
deliver to the other an Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement.
