                         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

a.   The   condensed   consolidated   interim   financial   statements  of   IBS
Interactive,  Inc. ("IBS," or the "Company")  included herein have been prepared
by the Company,  without  audit,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  with  respect  to  Form  10-QSB.  Certain
information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
condensed  or omitted  pursuant  to such  rules and  regulations,  although  the
Company  believes  that the  disclosures  made  herein are  adequate to make the
information  contained  herein  not  misleading.  These  condensed  consolidated
interim  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial  statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In the Company's
opinion,  all adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments and
severance/restructuring  charges)  necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  the
information shown herein have been included.

     Previously issued consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto for
the three  months  ended  March 31, 1999 have been  restated,  as  required,  to
reflect   the   June   1999    business    combination    (accounted    for   as
pooling-of-interests) of Spencer Analysis, Inc. ("Spencer").

     The results of  operations  and cash flows for the three months ended March
31,  2000  presented  herein are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results of
operations and cash flows expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

2.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

PURCHASE ACQUISITION

     On March  1,  2000,  the  Company  signed  an  agreement  to  purchase  the
outstanding  stock of digital  fusion,  inc.  ("digital  fusion")  in return for
975,000  shares of  unregistered  common stock  (50,000  shares of which will be
reserved  pending  settlement  of  certain  matters),   a  $500,000   three-year
subordinated  note  accruing 6% interest  per annum and the  assumption  of debt
totaling  approximately $4.2 million.  digital fusion is a Tampa,  Florida-based
provider of  e-Business  professional  services.  Of the assumed $4.2 million of
debt,  $3.4 million  bears an interest rate of prime rate plus 2% and is secured
by  substantially  all of the  assets of the  Company.  At  present,  management
expects this amount will be paid down in full in the second and third quarter of
2000 with the final payment due on August 29, 2000.

                                       5
<PAGE>


     The  following  summarized,  unaudited pro forma  information  for the year
ended December  31,1999 and the three months ended March 31, 2000,  assumes that
the acquisition of digital fusion had occurred on January 1, 1999:

                                            DECEMBER 31, 1999     MARCH 31, 2000
                                            -----------------     --------------
           Net Revenues................        $30,874,000          $7,082,000
           Operating loss..............         (8,989,000)         (4,707,000)
           Net loss....................         (9,658,000)         (4,745,000)
           Loss per share:
                Basic and Diluted......            $ (1.83)             $ (.78)

     The pro forma operating results reflect estimated pro forma adjustments for
the amortization of intangibles arising from the acquisition ($3,167,000 in 1999
and $281,000 in 2000,  reduced  interest  expense from the conversion of digital
fusion debt prior to closing  ($203,000 in 1999 and $60,000 in 2000) and the pro
forma operating results of a digital fusion acquisition in April 1999. Pro forma
results of operations  information is not necessarily  indicative of the results
of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition  been  consummated at
the beginning of 1999 or 2000 or of future results of the combined operations.

     The value ascribed to the consideration of stock, equity instruments, debt
and related costs ($19.2 million) less the fair market value of net assets
acquired ($3.1 million) resulted in goodwill of $16.1 million. Goodwill will be
amortized over a life of 5 years.

     Due to the recent  closing of the digital fusion  acquisition,  the Company
utilized preliminary  estimates and assumptions in determining the allocation of
purchase price to assets  acquired and  liabilities  assumed.  While  management
believes such estimates and assumptions are reasonable,  the final allocation of
the purchase  price may differ from that  reflected in the  unaudited  March 31,
2000 consolidated  balance sheet after a more extensive review of fair values of
the assets and  liabilities  is  completed.  As noted  earlier  the  Company has
reserved  50,000  shares  of common  stock for  possible  issuance  pending  the
resolution of certain matters.

3.   SEVERANCE AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

     During  the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Company  enacted a
reduction in force and, as a result,  recognized a charge of $567,000 related to
severance,  benefits  and  entitlements.  In  addition,  the Company  decided to
terminate its Microsoft  training  business and  recognized a charge of $298,000
which is comprised of the exit costs of this business and  impairment  losses on
the value of related  assets.  Writeoffs and costs charged  against the reserves
and liabilities totaled $337,000 through March 31, 2000.

4.   INCOME TAXES.

     The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating loss
generated in the three-month  period ended March 31, 2000 based on uncertainties
concerning its ability to generate  sufficient taxable income in future periods.
The tax  provision  for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 is comprised
of a valuation  allowance  established  against deferred tax assets arising from
operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could
not be  considered  more likely than not. In future  periods,  tax  benefits and
related  deferred  tax  assets  will be  recognized  when  management  considers
realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. At March 31, 2000 income
tax  receivables  are  comprised  of  principally  tax  loss   carrybacks,   the
realization of which, at present, is considered to be more likely than not.

5.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     In March 2000, the Company  consummated  the  acquisition of digital fusion
and in  connection  therewith  issued up to 975,000  shares of its common  stock
(50,000 shares of which will be reserved pending settlement of certain matters).

     The Company  issued  108,302  shares of reserved  common stock in the three
month  period  ended  March  31,  2000 in  connection  with  the  resolution  of
contingencies in 1999 acquisitions.

     In the first quarter of 2000, the Company  approved the release of unearned
shares of common  stock  related  to the 1998  acquisition  of  Entelechy,  Inc.
("Entelechy").  Under terms of the original agreement, such reserved shares were
to be earned ratably over a three year period ending January 31, 2001. Since the
condition  of  continued  employment  for the  release  of such  shares has been
waived, the Company recognized a non-cash compensation charge of $214,000 in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000.

     In  addition,  during the  three-month  period  ended March 31,  2000,  the
Company granted  138,500 options to employees  pursuant to its 1999 Stock Option
Plan.   Certain   digital  fusion  officers  and  employees  have  been  granted
non-qualified options to purchase 470,000 shares of Company common stock; 25% of
such options vested immediately, and as such, have been treated as consideration
in determining  the purchase  price of digital fusion and the remaining  options
will vest over a period of 3 years of continued  employment.  These options have
an exercise price of $10.49 per share.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

     We  provide  a broad  range of  e-Business  and IT  professional  services,
including  computer  networking,  programming and  applications  development and
consulting  services and Web-site hosting services (our  "Professional  Services
and Web-Site  Hosting" business  segment)  primarily to mid-size  businesses and
public sector  institutions  and Internet access services (our "Internet  Access
Services" business segment) to consumer and business customers. Our revenues are
derived  principally  from fees earned in  connection  with the  performance  of
Professional  Services and  Web-Site  Hosting  services  and fees from  Internet
Access Services subscribers and customers.

     We commenced  operations in June 1995 as an ISP offering  Web-site  hosting
services. Since April 1996, we have acquired: Interactive Networks, Inc.; Mordor
International;  AllNet; Entelechy,  Inc.; JDT WebwerX LLC; DesignFX Interactive,
LLC; MBS, Inc.; Halo Network Management, LLC; substantially all of the assets of
Mainsite  Communications;  the Renaissance division of PIVC, LLC;  substantially
all of the assets of EZ-Net,  Inc.; the ADViCOM division of Multitronics,  Inc.;
Spectrum  Information Systems,  Inc.;  Millennium Computer  Applications,  Inc.;
Realshare, Inc.; substantially all of the assets of Planet Access, Inc.; Spencer
Analysis, Inc.; Jaguar Systems, Inc; substantially all of the assets of Florence
Business Net; and digital  fusion,  inc. We began to provide  e-Business  and IT
professional  services  in  April  1996 and have  increasingly  emphasized  such
services.

     We are currently evaluating strategic  alternatives and options relating to
our Internet  Access Services  business,  which may include the possible sale of
all or a portion of our remaining  Internet Access Services  business.  At March
31,  2000,  our  Internet  Access  Services  business  had over  16,000  dial-up
subscribers,  250  digital  subscriber  line  accounts,  and 47  dedicated  line
accounts.  Total assets,  revenues,  and operating losses of the Internet Access
Services  segment as of and for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 and 2000
are as follows:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                         1999               2000
                                         ----               ----
Total Assets...................     $2,313,000          $4,342,000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues.......................       $439,000          $1,175,000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Losses...............      ($658,000)          ($474,000)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------



     No assurances can be given that if our remaining  Internet  Access Services
assets are sold that the  transaction(s)  will not  result in a loss,  since the
ultimate  proceeds are subject to a number of  uncertainties  that management is
unable  to  predict  with  a  high  degree  of  certainty  at  this  time.  Such
uncertainties  include, but are not limited to, future market conditions and the
availability of buyer(s)  willing to purchase the assets on terms  acceptable to
us.

     For the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  Professional  Services  and
Web-Site Hosting accounted for  approximately 78% of our revenues,  and Internet


                                       8
<PAGE>


Access Services accounted for approximately 22% of our revenues,  as compared to
89% and 11%,  respectively,  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999.  Our
Professional  Services and Web-Site Hosting business segment generally  produces
higher profit margins than our Internet Access Services business segment.

2000 ACQUISITION

PURCHASE

     On March 1, 2000, we entered into an agreement to purchase the  outstanding
stock of digital fusion, inc. ("digital fusion"), in exchange for 975,000 shares
(50,000 shares of which will be reserved pending settlement of certain matters),
a $500,000  three-year  subordinated note accruing 6% interest per annum and the
assumption of debt totaling  approximately  $4.2  million.  digital  fusion is a
Tampa,  Florida-based  provider  of  e-Business  professional  services.  Of the
assumed $4.2 million of debt, $3.4 million bears interest of the prime rate plus
2% and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. At present,
management expects this amount will be paid down in full in the second and third
quarter of 2000 with the final payment due on August 29, 2000.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

     This Quarterly  Report on Form 10-QSB contains  forward-looking  statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange
Act"). Actual results,  events and circumstances  (including future performance,
results  and  trends)  could  differ  materially  from  those  set forth in such
statements due to various factors,  risks and uncertainties  including those set
forth in the Company's Form 10-KSB for 1999 in "Item 6. Management's  Discussion
and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations - Certain Factors
Which May Affect the Company's Future Performance." Except as otherwise required
to be disclosed in periodic reports required to be filed by companies registered
under the  Exchange  Act by the rules of the SEC,  the  Company  has no duty and
undertakes no obligation to update such statements.

     REVENUES. Revenues increased by $1,395,000, or 35%, from $4,017,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999  ("1999"),  to $5,412,000 for the three months
ended  March 31, 2000  ("2000").  Professional  Services  and  Web-Site  Hosting
revenues increased by $660,000, or 18%, from $3,578,000 in 1999 to $4,238,000 in
2000.  Internet Access Services  revenues  increased by $736,000,  or 168%, from
$439,000 in 1999 to $1,175,000 in 2000.

     The increase in  Professional  Services and Web-Site  Hosting  revenues was
primarily due to Web programming and consulting  services  including  revenue of
$890,000  generated by digital fusion in 2000.  The increase in Internet  Access
Services  revenues was primarily due to the timing of Internet  Service Provider
("ISP") acquisitions in 1999.

     COST OF SERVICES.  Cost of services for Professional  Services and Web-Site
Hosting consists primarily of salaries and expenses of engineering,  programming
and technical personnel, expenses relating to cost of equipment and applications
sold to  clients  and  equipment  costs for  Web-site  hosting  and fees paid to
outside consultants  engaged for client projects.  Cost of services for Internet
Access  Services  consists of personnel and equipment  expenses  relating to the
operation of the network. Cost of services increased by $1,798,000, or 72%, from

                                       9
<PAGE>


$2,502,000 for 1999 to $4,300,000 for 2000. Professional Services and Web-Site
Hosting cost of services increased by $1,296,000 or 77% from $1,680,000 in 1999
to $2,976,000 in 2000. Internet Access Services cost of services increased by
$502,000 or 61% from $822,000 in 1999 to $1,324,000 in 2000.

     The increase in Professional Services and Web-Site Hosting cost of services
was primarily due to increased  direct payroll costs and increased  purchases of
software and equipment for resale. The increase in Internet Access Services cost
of services was primarily  due to direct  payroll,  network and  equipment  cost
increases  arising from the growth of the business related to the acquisition of
several ISPs during 1999.

     GROSS PROFIT. Our gross profit was $1,515,000,  or 38%, of revenues in 1999
and  $1,112,000,  or 21%, of revenues in 2000. The decrease in gross profit as a
percentage  of sales was  primarily  due to the  increase in direct costs in The
Company's   Professional   Services  and  Web-Site  Hosting  business   segment.
Professional Services and Web-Site Hosting gross profit decreased by $636,000 or
34%, from  $1,898,000 in 1999 to $1,262,000 in 2000.  Internet  Access  Services
gross profit deficit decreased by $234,000 from a deficit of $383,000 in 1999 to
a gross profit deficit of $149,000 in 2000.

     The decrease in Professional Services and Web-Site Hosting gross profit was
primarily  due to increased  direct  payroll  costs and  increased  purchases of
software and  equipment  for resale.  The decrease in Internet  Access  Services
gross profit  deficit was  primarily  due to increased  revenues  related to the
acquisition of several ISPs during the second and third quarters of 1999.

     SELLING,  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  Selling,  general and administrative
expenses  consist  primarily of salaries  and costs  associated  with  marketing
literature,  advertising, direct mailings, and accounting, finance and sales and
marketing personnel,  administrative personnel, as well as professional fees and
other costs associated with the administration of the Company.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased by $1,769,000,  or
104%,  from  $1,693,000  in 1999 to  $3,462,000  for  2000.  Such  increase  was
primarily  due to  the  Company's  hiring  of  additional  marketing  and  sales
personnel, and the hiring of additional  administrative personnel to support the
increase in our  professional  services  personnel and client bases,  as well as
increased rent, telephone and utilities costs and professional fees.

     Professional   Services  and   Web-Site   Hosting   selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses increased by $617,000,  or 47%, from $1,306,000 in 1999
to  $1,923,000  in  2000.   Internet  Access  Services   selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses increased by $115,000, or 55%, from $210,000 in 1999 to
$325,000 in 2000.  The increase in  Professional  Services and Web-Site  Hosting
selling,  general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the hiring of
additional  marketing  and sales  personnel.  The  increase in  Internet  Access
Services  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses was  primarily  due to
increased salaries and overhead costs associated with the ISPs acquired in 1999.
Corporate selling,  general and administrative expenses increased by $1,037,000,
or 586%,  from $177,000 in 1999 to $1,214,000 in 2000. The increase in corporate
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses was  primarily  due to increased
professional  and  overhead  costs  associated  with the  Company's  growth  and
acquisitions.

                                       10

     AMORTIZATION  OF  INTANGIBLE  ASSETS.  Amortization  of  intangible  assets
increased by $326,000, from $65,000 for 1999 to $391,000 for 2000. This increase
is primarily due to the  amortization of intangible  assets  (customer lists and
goodwill), related to the ISP acquisitions made throughout 1999 and one month of
amortization  related to  intangible  assets  arising  from the  acquisition  of
digital  fusion.  Amortization  expense  will  significantly  increase in future
periods as a result of the  Company's  acquisition  of  digital  fusion in March
2000.

     NON-CASH COMPENSATION EXPENSE. Non-cash compensation expense increased from
$84,000 in 1999 to $237,000 in 2000.  This  increase  was  primarily  due to the
charge related to the release of Entelechy reserved shares (see Note 5).

     MERGER  RELATED  EXPENSES.  During 2000 we did not incur any merger related
expenses.  During  1999 we  incurred  charges  of  $28,000  for fees  and  costs
associated  with the  acquisition of Halo and Spectrum.  Such 1999 amounts,  for
transactions  accounted for as a pooling of interests,  are expensed as services
are rendered and costs are incurred.

     SEVERANCE AND RESTRUCTURING  EXPENSES.  During the three months ended March
31, 2000, the Company enacted a reduction in force and, as a result,  recognized
a charge of  $567,000  related  to  severance,  benefits  and  entitlements.  In
addition,  the Company decided to terminate its Microsoft  training business and
recognized  a charge of $298,000  which is  comprised  of the exit costs of this
business and impairment  losses on the value of related  assets.  During 1999 we
did not incur any such charges.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense consists of interest on indebtedness and
capital  leases and  financing  charges  incurred in connection  with  financing
efforts.  Interest expense was $20,000 and $28,000,  respectively,  for 1999 and
2000. Interest expense is expected to increase  substantially in the future as a
result of our  assumption  of  approximately  $4.2  million of  indebtedness  in
connection with our acquisition of digital fusion in March 2000.

     INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income decreased from $45,000 in 1999 to $29,000
in 2000 due to a decrease  in our cash  position  in 2000  relative to 1999 as a
result of the timing of our private placement financings in 1999 and 2000.

     INCOME  TAXES.  Income  taxes  decreased  from a benefit of  $122,000  to a
provision of $5,000 due principally to a valuation allowance established against
deferred  tax assets  arising  from net  operating  losses  and other  temporary
differences.

     NET  LOSS.  As a  result  of the  foregoing,  we  recognized  a net loss of
$3,847,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2000  compared to a net loss of
$208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In February 2000, we commenced a $9.9 million private placement  consisting
of units of common stock and warrants (the "2000 Private Placement").  Each unit
( the "Units") was offered at a price of $110,000 and consisted of 10,000 shares
of common stock and three-year warrants to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock
at a price of  $13.75  per  share.  Through  March  31,  2000,  we had  received
$2,068,000 in net proceeds from the 2000 Private Placement. The expected uses of
proceeds for amounts  raised in the 2000 Private  Placement is repayment of bank
debt,  expansion of sales and  marketing  efforts,  and for working  capital and
general corporate purposes.

                                       11
<PAGE>


     In April 2000, we received  additional  net proceeds of  $5,329,000  before
terminating  the 2000 Private  Placement.  Of this amount,  TeKBanC.com  Limited
("TeKBanC.com")  purchased  $5 million in 45.45 of the Units.  Ahmed  Al-Khaled,
Chief Operating  Officer of TeKBanC.com,  joined our Board of Directors in April
2000 and, in that  capacity,  received  three-year  warrants to purchase  60,000
shares of common  stock at $13.75  per  share.  Mr.  Al-Khaled  was named to the
Executive  Committee  of the Board of  Directors  of the  Company in April 2000.
TeKBanC.com  also has the right to purchase an additional 45.45 units consisting
of 454,545  shares of common stock at a price of $11.00 per share and three-year
warrants  to purchase  113,636  shares of common  stock at an exercise  price of
$13.75 per share.  TeKBanC.com's right to exercise this option expires on August
1, 2000.

     Net cash used in operating  activities increased from $162,000 used in 1999
to $2,920,000 used in 2000. This change was primarily  attributable to operating
results  that  produced  a net loss in the  amount of  $3,847,000  for the three
months  ended  March  31,  2000,  compared  to a net  loss of  $208,000  for the
corresponding three month period in 1999.

     Net cash used in investing  activities  decreased  from $892,000 in 1999 to
$33,000 in 2000. The decrease is due to increased  capital  expenditures in 1999
principally  related to the expansion and  enhancement of the Company's  network
and acquisition of five ISPs during the first quarter of 1999.

     Net cash used in  financing  activities  was  $28,000 in 1999,  compared to
$2,068,000  provided  in 2000.  This  change is  primarily  attributable  to the
proceeds raised in the 2000 Private Placement.

     At March 31, 2000, we had capital lease obligations in the aggregate amount
of  $12,000.  These  capital  lease  obligations  are  secured  by the  personal
guarantees of Messrs. Loglisci,  Frederick and Altieri and, in addition, certain
of these  capital  lease  agreements  are secured by the  equipment  that is the
subject of the capital lease.

     In May 1998,  we secured  equipment  lines of credit  from three  equipment
vendors,  each in the amount of $500,000.  There were no borrowings  outstanding
under these lines of credit at March 31, 2000.

     Our  working  capital at March 31,  2000 was  $2,294,000.  We believe  that
operating  cash  flow  generated  through  existing   customers,   new  business
activities and cost reduction  efforts,  current cash and cash  equivalents  and
working  capital  levels,  and the 2000 Private  Placement will be sufficient to
fund operating cash flow needs, debt principal payment obligations,  and capital
expenditures for the foreseeable  future.  At present,  management  expects that
$3.4  million  in bank debt will be paid  down in full in the  second  and third
quarter of 2000 with the final  payment  due on August  29,  2000.  Our  current
estimate  of capital  expenditures  for the year  ending  December  31,  2000 is
$250,000. In the event that we are unsuccessful in reducing our operating losses
for the balance of 2000, we will be required to re-examine our current  business
plans  and  seek  alternative  financing.   No  assurances  can  be  given  that
alternative financing will be available on terms acceptable to us.

                                OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

     I. As part of our  acquisition  of  Entelechy,  Inc.,  in January  1998, on
February  29,  2000 we  issued  84,808  shares  of  common  stock to the  former
shareholders of Entelechy,  Inc. who are also employees of the Company.  Because
this issuance did not involve any public  offering,  we claimed  exemption  from
registration  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act")  pursuant
to Section 4(2) of the Act.

     II. On January 12, 2000,  we entered into a consulting  agreement  with EBI
Securities,  Inc. ("EBI"),  in which we agreed to issue EBI warrants to purchase
50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise  price of $12.50 per share upon the
closing of certain  mergers  or  acquisitions  to be  identified.  Because  this
issuance  did not  involve  any  public  offering,  we  claimed  exemption  from
registration under the Section 4(2) of the Act.

     III. In connection with the 2000 Private Placement,  during the 1st and 2nd
quarters of 2000 we issued  684,500 shares of our common stock at a price of $11
per share and three-year  redeemable  warrants to purchase 171,125 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $13.75 per share.  In addition,  on May 11,
2000 we issued a  three-year  warrant to  purchase  11,945  shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $13.75 per share to LaSalle St. Securities, LLC in
consideration  for  their  services  as  placement  agent  for the 2000  Private
Placement. Because this issuance did not involve any public offering, we claimed
exemption from registration under the Section 4(2) of the Act.

     IV. In connection  with our merger with digital  fusion,  inc., on March 1,
2000 we issued  925,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued
and  outstanding  common  stock  of  digital  fusion,  inc.,  and may  issue  an
additional  50,000 shares upon  settlement of certain  matters,  pursuant to the
related  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger.  In  addition,  we  issued  a  $500,000
subordinated  note accruing 6% per annum) to the former  shareholders of digital
fusion,  inc.  Because  this  issuance did not involve any public  offering,  we
claimed exemption from registration under the Section 4(2) of the Act.

     V. On March 1, 2000 we granted  non-qualified  options to purchase  470,000
shares of common  stock to certain of the former  employees  of digital  fusion,
inc.; 25% of such options vested upon grant and the remaining  options will vest
over a period of 3 years of continued employment.  Because this issuance did not
involve any public offering,  we claimed exemption from  registration  under the
Section 4(2) of the Act.

     VI. As part of our acquisition of the Renaissance  Internet Access division
of PIVC,  LLC on February 22, 1999,  on March 1, 2000 we issued 12,585 shares of

the  related  Purchase  Agreement.  Because  this  did not  involve  any  public
offering,  we claimed exemption from registration  under the Section 4(2) of the
Act.

     VII. As part of our acquisition of Spectrum  Information  Systems,  Inc. on
March 31, 1999,  on March 30, 2000 we issued  10,909 shares of common stock that

Systems,  Inc.,  pursuant  to the terms of the  related  Acquisition  Agreement.
Because this issuance did not involve any public offering,  we claimed exemption
from registration under the Section 4(2) of the Act.
