Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2000
NOTE A- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 (b)
of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair
presentation have been included. The results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained for an entire year or
any future periods. For further information, refer to the Financial Statements
and footnotes thereto in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE B- LOSS PER SHARE
The Company follows SFAS No. 128, "Earning per Share", which provides for
calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earning per share. Basic earnings per share
includes no dilution and is computed by weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in
which they have dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon
exercise of stock options and warrants. Diluted earnings per share amounts have
not been reported because the Company has a net loss and the impact of the
assumed conversion of preferred stock and exercise of stock options and warrants
would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE C- NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No.44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation- an Interpretation of APB No. 25 (" FIN No.44"). FIN No.44
clarifies the application of Opinion No.25 for certain issues including: (a) the
definition of employee for purposes of applying Opinion No.25, (b) the criteria
for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the
accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously
fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock
compensation awards in a business combination. In general, FIN No.44 is
effective July 1, 2000. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN No.44 to
have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133" Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 requires companies to
recognize all derivative contracts at their fair values, as either assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet. If certain conditions are met, a derivative
may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match
the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with
recognition of (1) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or
liability that are attributable to the hedged risk, or (2) the earnings effect
of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a
hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of
change. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years after
June 15,2000.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivative contracts either
to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the Company
does not expect adoption of the new standard to affect its financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance related to revenue recognition in
financial statements. In March 2000, the SEC issued SAB No. 101A, which delayed
the implementation of SAB No. 101. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B that
further delayed the implementation of SAB No. 101 to the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000. The Company will adopt SAB No. 101, and is currently evaluating the
impact, if any, SAB No. 101 will have on its financial position or results of
operations. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB No. 101 to have a
material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE D-CAPITAL STOCK
In January 2000, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company increasing the number of authorized
shares of preferred stock to 2,000,000.
In February and March 2000, the Company sold in a public offering 1,137,300
shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable preferred stock at $15 per share and
realized net proceeds of approximately $14,404,000. Approximately $194,000 of
the offering costs were incurred in 1999. The preferred stock can be converted
into common stock at the rate of 3.4 shares of common stock for each share of
preferred stock. Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive cumulative
annual dividends of $.60 per share payable semi-annually either in cash or
shares of the Company's common stock at the sole discretion of the Company.
Further, preferred stockholders are entitled to receive a liquidation preference
of $15 per share, plus accrued dividends. The Company has the option to redeem
the preferred stock under certain circumstances.
In connection with the offering, the Company sold to the underwriter, for
nominal consideration, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of
Series B Convertible Redeemable preferred stock. The warrants will be
exercisable for a four-year period commencing one year after the date of the
consummation of the offering at an exercise price of $24.75 per share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, additional dividends
(noncash) related to beneficial conversion feature of the preferred stock of
approximately $5,856,000 were recorded as a result of the conversion price of
the preferred stock being less than the market price of the common stock at the
time of the offering.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 the Company issued: (i)
1,763,240 shares of common upon conversion of 518,600 shares of Series B
Convertible Redeemable preferred stock, (ii) 11,594 shares of common stock for
services rendered and upon exercise of stock options (iii) 65,961 shares of
common stock pursuant to repricing rights and (v) 368,878 shares of common stock
for acquisition of businesses. See Note F.
In 1999, the Company sold through private placements 499,889 shares of its
common to two investors for an aggregate price of $4,250,000. The Company had
granted the investors repricing and redemption rights based on the future market
price of its common shares. In May 2000, the Company acquired 16,312 shares of
common stock for $34,663 from the private investors. In addition, the Company
paid $165,359 for repricing rights, which has been charged to additional paid in
capital. In September 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with the two
private investors whereby the Company agreed to pay $539,392 in cash and issue
400,000 shares of common stock to resolve certain issues of interpretation that
arose out of redemption and repricing rights. . In the financial statements as
of September 30, 2000, the 400,000 shares issuable pursuant to the agreement
have been included in the issued and outstanding number of shares. The amount
payable pursuant to the agreement has been charged to additional paid in capital
and included in the accruals.
In April 2000, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to
purchase up to $1,000,000 worth of its common stock from time to time, as the
Company deems appropriate, through open market purchases or in privately
negotiated transactions. As of September 30, 2000 the Company had acquired
329,326 shares of common stock including 16,312 shares from the private
placement investors for an aggregate consideration of $569,000.
NOTE E- NON-CASH COMPENSATION CHARGE
In 1998 and 1999, the Company granted to certain employees options to
purchase an aggregate amount of 245,768 shares of its common stock which
required shareholder approval prior to its issuance. The shareholders approved
the issuance in June 1999, and accordingly the approval date is deemed to be the
grant date. Since the fair market value of the shares at the grant date exceeded
the exercise price, compensation costs have been recognized during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.
NOTE F- ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES
During the three months ended June 30, 2000 the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets of The PressRoom Online Services, Application
Resources Information Services, Inc d/b/a Way Communications, The First Street
Corporation and Wizardnet,Inc. The aggregate consideration for these
acquisitions consisted of $1,171,000 cash (including transaction-related costs)
86,277 shares of common stock (approximately $210,000) and $65,000 in non
interest-bearing promissory notes.

NOTE G- CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION
In 1999, the Company purchased equipment in the aggregate amount of $1,376,000
from a major telecommunications manufacturer. The manufacturer had agreed to
install, test and provide support to make the equipment functional. The
manufacturer had agreed to provide financing through a lease for $957,000 which
would have required the Company to pay $36,000 per month for 30 months
commencing with the installation of the equipment. The balance of $419,000 was
payable over a period of twelve months from installation of the equipment. The
manufacturer failed to install the equipment and make it functional. In
September 2000, the Company terminated the agreement and the manufacturer has
accepted the equipment returned by the Company. Accordingly, equipment, capital
lease obligation and accrued costs balances have been adjusted by $1,376,000,
$957,000 and $419,000, respectively. The management believes that based on the
Company's current strategy, return of the equipment will not impact its current
or future operations.

Overview
During 1999 and 2000 a significant part of the Company's revenues were
derived from providing Internet access services to individuals and businesses.
These revenues are comprised principally of recurring revenues from the
Company's customer base, leased line connections and from various ancillary
services. The Company charges subscription fees, which are billed monthly or
quarterly, in advance, typically pursuant to pre-authorized credit card
accounts. The balance of the Company's revenues were derived from Web
development and hosting services. The Company's business strategy is to increase
the percentage of revenues it derives from Web development and hosting services.
Monthly subscription service revenue for Internet access is recognized over
the period in which services are provided. Fee revenue for website development
and Internet website presence services are recognized as services are performed.
Deferred revenue represents prepaid access fees by customers.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions have historically been and will continue to be an important
aspect of the Company's growth strategy. In 1999, the Company completed the
following acquisitions; Webprime, Inc., a website design, web development and
software development firm; Channel iShop.com (now iShopNetworks.com) a company
with a marketing concept targeting retail businesses; assets relating to the
dial-up internet access customer base and web design and hosting capabilities of

Systems, Inc. d/b/a Fullwave Networks; a customer base of additional dial-up

PressRoom Online Services, Application Resources Information Services, Inc d/b/a
Way Communications, The First Street Corporation, Wizardnet, Inc., Delanet, Inc.
( internet access service providers) and PNM Group, Inc., a Web design company.
All of the acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting with the results of each acquisition included in the consolidated
financial statements from the respective acquisition date.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
Revenues: Revenues increased for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 by $877,152 or 117.9% and by $1,429,930 or 66.2%,
respectively, over the same periods of the prior year. The increase was
attributable to an expanded customer base and increased activities in Web
development and hosting services. The increase in customer base was in part due
to acquisitions, and, in part due to the Company's marketing and sales efforts.
Cost of Revenues: For the three months ended September 30, 2000 cost of revenues
increased by $405,953 to $954,789. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000
cost of revenues increased by $782,055 to $2,208,061. Cost of revenues as a
percentage of revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2000 were 58.9% and 61.5%, respectively, compared to 73.8% and 66.0%,
respectively, in 1999. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to
increased communication and technical personnel expenses incurred to support the
increased customer base and in anticipation of future growth. The Company
expects these costs to increase in absolute dollars as additional customers and
services are added.
Selling, General and Administrative: For the three months ended September 30,
2000, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $328,720. As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
from 234.0% in 1999 to 127.7% in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30,
2000, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,128,577. For
the nine-month period, selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues, decreased from 174.6% in 1999 to 164.3% in 2000. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily
attributable to higher costs incurred for advertising, promotion and sales
personnel. The Company incurred approximately $250,000 and $750,000 more for
marketing activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively, compared to the prior year.
Depreciation and Amortization: For the three months ended September 30, 2000,
depreciation and amortization increased by $695,543 to $1,164,268. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, depreciation and amortization increased by
$1,358,272 to $2,547,352. The increase was due to amortization arising from 1999
and 2000 acquisitions and depreciation arising from additional equipment
acquired in the later part of 1999 and 2000.
Interest Income: Interest income net of interest expense increased by $47,916
and $183,038 for the three and nine month periods, respectively. The increase in
interest income was due to investment of unutilized proceeds of the Company's
public offering of Series B Convertible Redeemable preferred stock.

Net Loss and net loss applicable to common shares: The Company has incurred
significant losses and anticipates that it will continue to incur losses until
sufficient revenues are generated to offset the substantial up-front
expenditures and operating costs associated with attracting and retaining
additional customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
the Company incurred net losses of $2,514,389 and $2,009,241, respectively. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred net
losses of $6,836,840 and $4,893,124, respectively. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of
customers to significantly increase its revenues or ever achieve profitable
operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, additional dividends
(noncash) related to the beneficial conversion feature of the preferred stock of
approximately $5,856,000 were recorded as a result of the conversion price of
the preferred stock being less than the market price of the common stock at the
time of the offering. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 net loss
after adjusting the additional dividends and normal dividends for preferred
stock resulted in a loss of $12,939,782 applicable to common shares.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital at September 30, 2000 was $1,025,592 compared
to a deficiency of $1,640,344 at December 31, 1999. The increase in working
capital was due to receipt of the proceeds from the public sale of the Company's
Series B Convertible Redeemable preferred stock in February and March 2000.
In February and March 2000, the Company sold in a public offering 1,137,300
shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable preferred stock at $15 per share and
realized net proceeds of approximately $14,404,000. The preferred stock can be
converted into common stock at the rate of 3.4 shares of common stock for each
share of preferred stock. Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive
cumulative annual dividends of $.60 per share payable semi-annually either in
cash or shares of the Company's common stock at the sole discretion of the
Company. Further, preferred stockholders are entitled to receive a liquidation
preference of $15 per share, plus accrued dividends. The Company has the option
to redeem the preferred stock under certain circumstances.
Out of the proceeds of the public offering of Series B Convertible
Redeemable preferred stock, $569,000 was used to repurchase 329,326 shares of
the Company's common stock, $3,846,000 was used for acquisitions of businesses
and $425,000 was used to repay debt. The remaining proceeds, after meeting the
Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements, are currently
held in interest-bearing bank accounts.
The Company's primary capital requirements are to fund acquisition of
customer bases and related Internet businesses, install network equipment, and
working capital. To date, the Company has financed its capital requirements
primarily through issuance of debt and equity securities. The Company currently
does not have any lines of credit. The availability of capital resources is
dependent upon prevailing market conditions, interest rates, and the financial
condition of the Company.
The Company's capital expenditures for 2000 are expected to range between
$340, 000 to $500,000. Based on the Company's current plans and assumptions
relating to its strategy, the management anticipates that the cash on hand, and
expected revenues will satisfy the company's capital requirements through at
least the end of 2000.
The Company is currently in the process of reducing operating expenses. If
the Company is not successful in implementing certain cost cutting measures, it
may need additional financing in 2001 to continue its operations as currently
conducted. The Company has no available additional sources of financing and
there can be no assurance that any additional financing, if required, will be
available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.
