ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND
EXHIBITS

StarMedia hereby files this Form 8-K to file the financial statements and
related pro forma consolidated financial statements required pursuant to Item 7
of Form 8-K with respect to the Wass Net merger.

                  (a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired

                  (b) Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are based on the historical
financial statements of the Company, adjusted to give effect to the following
transactions:

      a)         the sale of 3,727,272 shares of common stock at $11 per share
                 to six strategic investors between April 30, 1999 and May 5,
                 1999, net of costs;
      b)         the issuance of 8,050,000 shares of common stock in connection
                 with the Company's initial public offering at $15 per share,
                 less related costs, on May 25, 1999 and the conversion of
                 31,996,667 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock in
                 connection therewith;
      c)         the Wass Net Merger; and
      d)         the acquisition of KD Sistemas de Informacao, Ltda ("KD
                 Acquisition") on April 13, 1999

The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 1999 assumes that the four
transactions noted above occurred on March 31, 1999. The Pro Forma Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and for the
year ended December 31, 1998 assume that the KD Acquisition occurred on January
1, 1998. Additionally, the Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, reflect the Wass Net Merger which was accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
Statements include the results of Wass Net for all periods presented.

The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the
related notes thereto which are included in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-1, as amended, dated May 25, 1999, and the Company's
Form 8-K filed on June 25, 1999 (each as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission) and the audited financial statements of Wass Net that are
filed herewith.

The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information does not purport to present
what the Company's results of operations would actually have been if the
strategic investors, initial public offering, the KD Acquisition, and Wass Net
Merger had occurred on the assumed dates, as specified above, or to project the
Company's financial condition or results of operations for any future period.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Wass Net, S.L.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wass Net, S.L. (the
"Company") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the period from August 29 to
December 31, 1997. 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 in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards in the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wass Net, S.L. at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and its results of operations and cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 1998 and the period from August 29 to December 31, 1997,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States.

         INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method
which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed
annually for temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax
bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible
amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the
periods in which the differences are expected to effect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit
is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during
the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

7.       INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards
available for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $18,100 expiring in
2008 through 2009 which upon recognition based on current tax regulations would
generate tax benefits of approximately $5,400. There were no other material
temporary differences. Therefore, the Company had deferred tax assets of
approximately $5,400 at December 31, 1998, related to the net operating loss
carry-forwards. The Company has fully provided for these assets through a
valuation allowance due to uncertainties surrounding their realization.

The reconciliation between the net loss for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
the net loss for corporate income tax purposes is as follows:

To the Stockholders of


       Wass Net, S.L.


(1) We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of WASS NET, S.L.(a Spanish
corporation), translated into U.S. dollars, as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the related translated statements of income and comprehensive income changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three-month periods then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.


(2) We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of person responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.


(3) These translated financial statements have been prepared as the basis for
application of the equity method by its shareholders and, accordingly, they
translate the assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity, revenues and expenses
of Wass Net, S.L. for that purpose, as explained in Note 2.


(4) Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modification that
should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

         INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method
which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed
annually for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in
the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in
which the differences are expected to effect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or credit is the tax
payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period
in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

</TABLE>

Short-term obligations under bank revolving credit loans cannot exceed $12,500
and bear interest at 8.5%.


7.       DUE TO SHAREHOLDERS

The balance of $22,714 due to shareholders at March 31, 1999 arose from payments
made by the shareholders on behalf of the Company. The balance is non-interest
bearing and due on demand.

8.       INCOME TAXES

At March 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available
for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $30,900 expiring in 2008
through 2009 which, upon recognition, based on current tax regulations would
generate tax benefits of approximately $9,300. There were no other material
temporary differences. Therefore, the Company had deferred tax assets of
approximately $9,300 at March 31, 1999 related to net operating loss
carryforwards. The Company has fully provided for these assets through a
valuation allowance due to uncertainties surrounding their realization.

The Company had a current income tax provision of $0 and $455 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The reconciliation of the
effective income tax rate to the statutory rate is as follows:

Amortization expense of the goodwill over 3 years on a straight-line basis.

In computing pro forma basic and diluted net loss per common share, the
following pro forma adjustments were made:

(f) In conjunction with the Company's initial public offering, all outstanding
shares of series A, B, and C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
automatically converted into Common Stock on a one for one basis. Accordingly,
the effect of the conversions has been reflected in the computation of pro forma
basic and diluted net loss per common share. Additionally, the computation of
pro forma basic and diluted net loss per common share is based on the aggregate
weighted average shares of the combined business, adjusted to equivalent shares
of the surviving business for all periods presented.
