                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (U.S. Dollars in thousands)
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  acquisition  by Bridge of SAVVIS on April 7, 1999  resulted  in the Company
reporting  in its 1999 Form 10-K and in its  Registration  Statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-90881), as amended (the "Form S-1"), results of operations for the
period January 1, 1999 through April 6, 1999 as being the "Predecessor"  period,
due to a change in the basis of accounting upon the  acquisition by Bridge.  The
Statements of  Operations  for this period  included in the six-month  reporting
period in 1999 were  identical  to the  results  of  operations  for the  period
January 1, 1999 through March 31, 1999 and April 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999.

These  consolidated  financial  statements for the three- and six-month  periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the related footnote  information are unaudited
and have been prepared  under the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission and on a basis  substantially  consistent  with the audited
consolidated  financial statements of SAVVIS Communications  Corporation and its
subsidiaries (collectively,  "SAVVIS" or the "Company") as of and for the period
ended December 31, 1999 included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K as
filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Annual Report").  These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial  statements  and  the  related  notes  to the  consolidated  financial
statements  of the  Company  included  in the Annual  Report.  In the opinion of
management,  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  contain all
adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurring  adjustments)  which  management
considers necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the
Company at June 30,  2000 and the results of its  operations  and cash flows for
the three- and six-month  periods  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  The results of
operations for the three-month  period ended June 30, 2000 may not be indicative
of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire year ending
December 31, 2000.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States of America requires  management to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the  financial
statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

RESTRICTED  CASH - Restricted  cash consists of amounts  supporting  outstanding
letters  of  credit,  principally  related  to  office  space  and  data  center
construction.


RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to current period presentation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133,  "Accounting
for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,"  which, as amended by SFAS
No.  138 in June  2000,  establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for
derivative instruments,  including some derivatives embedded in other contracts,
and for hedging  activities by requiring  that all  derivatives be recognized on
the balance sheet and measured at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS
No.  137,  "Deferral  of the  Effective  Date of  FASB  Statement  No.  133 - an
Amendment of FASB  Statement No. 133," which  deferred the effective date for us
until January 1, 2001.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange  Commission  issued Staff
Accounting  Bulletin No. 101,  "Revenue  Recognition  in Financial  Statements,"
which  provides  guidance on the  recognition,  presentation  and  disclosure of
revenue in financial  statements.  The guidelines in SAB No. 101 must be adopted
by the fourth quarter of 2000. We are in the process of evaluating the potential
impact of this statement on our financial position and results of operations.

         In March 2000, the FASB issued  Interpretation  No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain  Transactions  involving Stock  Compensation,  an  Interpretation of APB
Opinion  No.  25," which  clarifies  the  application  of APB Opinion No. 25 for
certain  issues  including:  (1) the  defining  of an employee  for  purposes of
applying  APB Opinion No. 25, (2) the criteria  for  determining  whether a plan
qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (3) the accounting  consequences of various
modifications  to the terms of a previously  fixed stock option or award and (4)
the  accounting  for an  exchange  of stock  compensation  awards in a  business
combination.  Interpretation  No. 44 is  effective  July 1,  2000,  but  certain
conclusions  cover specific  events that occur either after December 15, 1998 or
January 12, 2000. We do not expect that the adoption of this interpretation will
have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION

On April 7, 1999  (the  "acquisition  date"),  the  Company  was  acquired  by a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bridge Information Systems, Inc. ("Bridge") in an all
stock  transaction  that was  accounted  for as a "purchase  transaction"  under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16.

The value of the Bridge  shares and  options  issued and the costs  incurred  by
Bridge in connection with the acquisition  aggregated $32 million. In accordance
with the accounting  requirements  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,
purchase   transactions  that  result  in  one  entity  becoming   substantially
wholly-owned by the acquirer establish a new basis of accounting in the acquired
entity's records for the purchased  assets and  liabilities.  Thus, the purchase
price has been  allocated to the  underlying  assets  purchased and  liabilities
assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.

NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss), defined as net income (loss) plus all other changes
(cumulative  foreign  currency  translation  adjustment) in equity from nonowner
sources,  was $(39.0)  million and $(65.7) million for the three- and six-months
months  ended  June  30,  2000.  During  1999  there  were  no  items  of  other
comprehensive income (loss).

NOTE 4 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALANTS

Cash and cash  equivalents  include cash on hand,  money market  investments and
government agency securities. The agency securities have maturities ranging from
overnight to seven days and are stated at cost, which approximates market.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and other actions arising in
the normal course of its  business.  While the results of such  proceedings  and
actions cannot be predicted,  management believes,  based on the advice of legal
counsel, that the ultimate outcome of such proceedings and actions will not have
a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial  position,  results of
operations or cash flows.

On June  30,  2000,  the  Company  entered  into a term  loan  facility  for the
financing of approximately $38 million of network equipment and services.  As of
June 30, 2000, the Company has not drawn on the financing  arrangement,  but has
recorded  approximately  $28 million of this equipment on its balance sheet.  Of
the $28  million  that has been  recorded,  approximately  $6  million  has been
previously paid for by the Company,  with the remaining $22 million  recorded in
accounts payable. In July 2000, the Company drew approximately $28 million under
this term loan  facility,  which will be recorded as notes  payable,  payable in
eight equal quarterly installments commencing on June 30, 2001, bearing interest
at a variable market-based rate.

On June 30,  2000,  SAVVIS  executed  an  agreement  to acquire  $30  million of
telecommunications equipment and related services with a vendor. Upon execution,
the Company took delivery of certain equipment and paid approximately $5 million
to the vendor.  Of the  remaining $25 million,  approximately  $16.5 million has
been  financed  by the  vendor  over six years at 11%  interest,  with  payments
commencing  in the third quarter of 2000.  The  remaining  $8.5 million has been
recorded in other accrued liabilities, due over the next twelve months.

On March 31, 2000,  the Company  entered into a  three-year  software  licensing
agreement with a vendor for the acquisition of unlimited  software  licenses for
certain customer  applications over the global network. The agreement called for
payments  totaling  $7  million  through  June 30,  2000 with the  balance of $6
million due in  installments  on September 1 and December 1 of the year 2000. In
addition,  the Company will pay $1 million  annually for three years relating to
maintenance contract in support of the software licenses.

On March 23, 2000,  SAVVIS entered into a $30 million,  thirty-nine  month lease
facility  relating to equipment  necessary for the network  expansion.  Payments
under the lease were zero for months  one to three,  and will be $.3  million in
months three to six, and $1.1 million in months seven to thirty-nine.

On January 24, 2000,  SAVVIS  entered into a 10-year  lease for its new,  80,582
square foot,  headquarters office building located in Herndon, VA. Monthly lease
payments begin at $.2 million per month and escalate to $.3 million per month by
year ten.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL STOCK

An initial  public  offering of the  Company's  common  stock was  completed  on
February 18, 2000. A total of 14.875  million shares were sold by the Company in
the  offering at $24 per share.  The Company  received  net  proceeds  from this
transaction of approximately $333 million,  of which  approximately $127 million
was paid to Bridge.

Simultaneous  with the completion of the public offering,  the Company purchased
or  subleased  Bridge's  global  Internet  protocol  network  assets.  The final
purchase  price  of  the  assets  (at  Bridge's   carrying  value),   after  the
determination  for and  reconciliations  of the specific assets  purchased,  was
approximately $77 million,  of which approximately $52 million was paid from the
offering proceeds. SAVVIS also paid a $69 million preferential distribution,  as
adjusted, to Bridge. Additionally, the Company assumed capital lease obligations
of approximately $25 million related to these network assets.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection  with Bridge's  acquisition of the Company and through the date of
our initial public  offering as discussed in Note 2, Bridge funded the Company's
operations.  At  December  31, 1999 and June 30,  2000,  the Company had amounts
payable to Bridge of $24.1 million and $24.4 million, respectively.

Concurrent  with the asset  purchase,  the Company  also  entered into a 10-year
network  services  agreement  with Bridge  under which the Company  will provide
managed data  networking  services to Bridge.  The Company's fees are based upon
the cash cost to Bridge of operating  the network as  configured on the date the
Company  acquired it, and fees for additional  services  provided  following the
closing of the transfer are set for a three-year term based on an agreed pricing
schedule  which is  revised  annually.  Bridge  has  agreed to pay a minimum  of
approximately  $105 million,  $132 million and $145 million for network services
in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

In connection with the principal  agreements entered into effective February 18,
2000, between the Company and Bridge,  related to the network acquisition by the
Company,  SAVVIS  generated  revenues  for network  services  rendered to Bridge
amounting to $59.9 million for the period  February 18 to June 30, 2000.  SAVVIS
incurred  obligations to Bridge amounting to approximately  $1.0 million for the
same  period   relating  to  obligations   under  the  Technical   Services  and
Administrative Services Agreements.

RESULTS  SHOWN  HEREIN  ARE NOT  NECESSARILY  INDICATIVE  OF THE  RESULTS  TO BE
EXPECTED  IN  ANY  FUTURE  PERIODS.  THIS  DISCUSSION  CONTAINS  FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS BASED ON CURRENT  EXPECTATIONS WHICH INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.
ACTUAL  RESULTS  AND THE  TIMING  OF EVENTS  COULD  DIFFER  MATERIALLY  FROM THE
FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS  (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THE PRIVATE  SECURITIES
LITIGATION  REFORM  ACT OF 1995)  AS A RESULT  OF A  NUMBER  OF  FACTORS.  FOR A
DISCUSSION  OF THE MATERIAL  FACTORS  THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL  RESULTS TO DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THE FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS,  YOU SHOULD READ "RISK FACTORS"
INCLUDED IN PART I, ITEM 1 OF OUR 1999 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K.

GENERAL

We are a rapidly growing provider of high quality,  high performance global data
networking  and  Internet-related  services  to  medium  and  large  businesses,
multinational  corporations  and  Internet  service  providers.  To provide  our
Internet  access  services,  we  use  the  SAVVIS  ProActiveSM  Network,  a data
communications  network  that uses our nine  PrivateNAPsSM  and our  proprietary
routing  policies to reduce data loss and enhance  performance  by avoiding  the
congested public access points on the Internet.

We began  commercial  operations in 1996,  offering  Internet access services to
local and regional Internet service providers.  Our customer base has grown from
15 customers at the end of 1996 to approximately 1,627 at June 30, 2000.

On April 7, 1999,  we were acquired by Bridge in a  stock-for-stock  transaction
that was accounted for as a "purchase  transaction" under Accounting  Principles
Board  Opinion No. 16.  Since the purchase  transaction  resulted in our Company
becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Bridge, SEC rules required us to establish
a new basis of accounting for the assets purchased and liabilities assumed. As a
result, the purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets purchased
and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair market value of these assets and
liabilities on the  acquisition  date,  and the difference  between the purchase
price and the fair market value was recorded as goodwill. The accounting for the
purchase  transaction  has been "pushed down" to our financial  statements.  The
impact of the  acquisition on our balance sheet,  as a result of the application
of  fair  value  accounting,  was  to  increase  intangibles,   goodwill,  other
liabilities  and  stockholders'  equity.  As a result of the acquisition and the
"push down"  accounting,  our results of operations  following the  acquisition,
particularly  our  depreciation  and  amortization,  are not  comparable  to our
results of operations prior to the acquisition.

On September 10, 1999, Bridge sold in a private  placement  approximately 25% of
its equity ownership in SAVVIS to the existing  stockholders of Bridge, at which
time Welsh Carson  purchased  from Bridge a 12% interest in SAVVIS.  On February
28, 2000, Bridge completed the sale of an additional  6,250,000 shares of SAVVIS
common stock to Welsh Carson.  Bridge and Welsh Carson now own approximately 49%
and 16% of SAVVIS' common stock, respectively.

Simultaneously  with the completion of the initial public offering of our common
stock in February 2000, we acquired  Bridge's global Internet  protocol  network
for total consideration of approximately $77 million plus a payment representing
a preferential  distribution to Bridge of approximately $69 million.  See Note 7
to the unaudited consolidated  financial statements.  The purchase substantially
increased our  depreciation  and  amortization.  At that time, we entered into a
10-year  network  services  agreement with Bridge under which we provide managed
data networking  services to Bridge.  Our initial network service fees are based
upon the cash cost to Bridge of operating  the network as  configured on October
31,  1999,  as adjusted  for changes to the  network  and  associated  personnel
related to Bridge's network requirements through February 17, 2000. Our fees for
additional  services  provided  following  February  17,  2000  were  set  for a
three-year term based on an agreed price schedule. Bridge has agreed to pay us a
minimum of $105 million,  $132 million and $145 million for network  services in
2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Because the  amounts  paid to us under the network  services  agreement  for the
services  provided over the original network acquired from Bridge are based upon
the cash cost to operate the original  network,  the  provision of such services
did not and will not have an impact on our cash flows from operations.  However,
due to amortization and depreciation  relating to the network,  the provision of
services under the network services  agreement  resulted in our incurring losses
from  operations,  and these losses will continue  until we can sell  additional
services over the network to Bridge or to other  customers.  The effects of such
operating losses will include continued increases in our accumulated deficit and
reductions in stockholders' equity.

Bridge  has  agreed to  provide  to us  various  services,  including  technical
support,  customer support and project  management in the areas of installation,
provisioning,  help desk, and repair and  maintenance.  In addition,  Bridge has
agreed to provide to us additional administrative and operational services, such
as payroll and accounting functions,  benefit management and office space, until
we develop the  capabilities to perform these services  ourselves.  We expect to
develop many of these capabilities by the end of 2000.

Our revenue is derived  primarily from the sale of data networking  (principally
to Bridge),  Internet access and colocation  services.  Assuming we had received
the minimum revenues under the network services  agreement for the first year of
the agreement in 1999,  Bridge would have represented  approximately  83% of our
1999  revenues.  Bridge has informed us that it expects to convert its remaining
customers to the Internet  protocol network over the next three years. We expect
that, to the extent these customers are converted,  Bridge will order additional
services from us under the network services agreement. We cannot assure you that
any of these customers will be converted or as to when any  conversions  will be
completed.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The historical financial information included in this Form 10-Q does not reflect
our future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Our results
of operations,  financial  position and cash flows subsequent to the purchase of
Bridge's  network and the execution of the related  agreements is not comparable
to prior periods.  The acquisition by Bridge of SAVVIS on April 7, 1999 resulted
in the Company  reporting in its 1999 Annual  Report and in its Form S-1 results
of operations  for the period January 1, 1999 through April 6, 1999 as being the
"Predecessor"  period,  due to a  change  in the  basis of  accounting  upon the
acquisition by Bridge.  The  Statements of Operations  included in the six-month
reporting  period in 1999 were  identical to the reported  results of operations
for the period  January 1, 1999  through  March 31, 1999 and the period April 1,
1999 through June 30 1999.

THREE  MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1999

Revenue.

Revenue was $51.1  million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase
of $45.2 million or 765%,  from $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999. The revenue  growth  resulting from the initiation of managed data network
services,  under the Bridge network services  agreement entered into on February
18, 2000, accounted for $42.5 million of the increase.  Internet access revenues
increased  46% to $8.0 million in the second  quarter of 2000,  compared to $5.5
million for the  comparable  period in 1999.  These  increases were driven by an
increase in active customer  circuits of 186% to approximately  2,000 as of June
30,  2000 from  approximately  700 as of the end of the second  quarter in 1999.
Other revenues,  consisting of installation and equipment sales,  increased from
$.4 million in 1999 to $.5 million for the second quarter of 2000.

Data Communications and Operations.

Data  communications and operations expenses consist primarily of leased routers
and switches,  leased long distance and local circuit costs,  leased  colocation
space,  installed  local  access  lines at  customer  sites,  as well as related
operating  expenses  such as repairs and  maintenance  associated  with  network
operations, customer support and field service, and engineering personnel costs.
Data  communications and operations  expenses were $57.4 million for the quarter
ended June 30,  2000;  an increase of $51.2  million  from $6.2  million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in expenses  related  principally
to the costs incurred by SAVVIS to operate the newly-acquired  Internet protocol
network (from Bridge) since February 18, 2000 and other  increases in the number
of leased long distance,  dedicated customer and dial-up circuits to support the
increased customer circuits in operation.

<PAGE>

Sales and Marketing.

Sales and Marketing  expenses  consist of personnel and related sales commission
costs,  advertising  and  direct  marketing,  and  travel.  Sales and  marketing
expenses  were $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, up 170% or
$5.1  million as  compared  to the  second  quarter of 1999.  This  increase  is
principally  attributed to personnel related costs and sales commissions of $2.9
million  associated  with the  growth  in sales and  marketing  staff and a $1.7
million increase in expenditures on advertising and marketing initiatives.

General and Administrative.

General and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily  of  compensation  and
occupancy  costs for executive,  financial,  legal,  tax and support  personnel,
travel, and bad debt costs. General and administrative expenses amounted to $6.0
million for the three  months ended June 30, 2000 and $2.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999,  an increase of $3.4 million or 137%.  This increase
resulted from increased occupancy costs of $1.0 million related to the Company's
move to its new  headquarters  during the second  quarter,  increased  personnel
costs of $.5  million to support  the  expansion  of the  customer  base and the
overall  growth of the  business,  an increase of $1.1 million for  professional
audit,  tax,  legal and consulting  services,  and an increase of $.3 million in
insurance expense.  Bad debt expense amounted to $.04 million in 2000 versus $.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

Non-cash Compensation.

Non-cash  compensation  amounting to $4.3 million  represents  the  amortization
charge to earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 for the difference between
the imputed fair market  value of our common  stock and the  exercise  price for
options granted on various dates in early 2000 and late 1999.

Depreciation and Amortization.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense was $14.8  million for the three months
ended June 30,  2000,  an increase of $10.1  million from the three months ended
June  30,  1999.  This  increase   resulted   primarily  from  $9.1  million  of
depreciation on the network acquired from Bridge on February 18, 2000.

Interest.

Interest  income from the  investment of the initial  public  offering  proceeds
amounted to $2.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $2.4
million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999.  Interest  expense for the
quarter  ended June 30,  2000  amounted  to $1.8  million,  an  increase of $1.5
million from the comparable  period in 1999.  This increase is  attributable  to
interest expense on capital equipment  financing  incurred since the acquisition
of the Internet protocol network in February 2000.

Net Loss.

The net loss for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 was $39.0  million,  or
$0.44 basic and diluted  loss per share,  an increase of $28.1  million from the
net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1999 of $10.9 million, or $0.15 per
share. The primary reasons for the increase in net loss are:

o    The $10.1 million  increase in depreciation  and  amortization  expense due
     primarily to the acquisition of the Internet  protocol  network from Bridge
     and other network equipment.

o    A  decrease  in  gross  profit  (revenues  less  data   communications  and
     operations  expenses) of $6.3 million  related to expansion of our Internet
     protocol network.

o    Increased sales and marketing expenses of $5.1 million related to growth in
     staff and advertising and marketing  initiatives.  o Increased  general and
     administrative  expenses  of $3.5  million  related  to  growth  in  staff,
     increased occupancy,  and increased professional services.

o    An increase in non-cash compensation expense of $4.3 million related to the
     imputed fair value of stock option grants.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Revenue.

Revenue was $75.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of
$64.4  million or 568%,  from $11.4  million  for the six months  ended June 30,
1999. The revenue  growth  resulting from the initiation of managed data network
services,  under the Bridge network services  agreement entered into on February
18, 2000, accounted for $59.9 million of the increase.  Internet access revenues
increased  36% to $14.7  million  in the first half of 2000,  compared  to $10.8
million for the  comparable  period in 1999.  These  increases were driven by an
increase in active customer  circuits of 186% to approximately  2,000 as of June
30,  2000  from  700  as  of  June  30,  1999.  Other  revenues,  consisting  of
installation  and equipment  sales,  increased  from $.6 million in 1999 to $1.2
million in 2000.

Data Communications and Operations.

Data  communications and operations expenses consist primarily of leased routers
and switches,  leased long distance and local circuit costs,  leased  colocation
space,  installed  local  access  lines at  customer  sites,  as well as related
operating  expenses  such as repairs and  maintenance  associated  with  network
operations, customer support and field service, and engineering personnel costs.
Data  communications  and  operations  expenses  were $84.7  million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000;  an increase of $72.1 million from $12.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in expenses related principally
to the costs incurred by SAVVIS to operate the newly-acquired  Internet protocol
network (from Bridge) since February 18, 2000 and other  increases in the number
of leased long distance,  dedicated customer and dial-up circuits to support the
increased customer circuits in operation.

Sales and Marketing.

Sales and Marketing  expenses  consist of personnel and related sales commission
costs,  advertising  and  direct  marketing,  and  travel.  Sales and  marketing
expenses  were $15.1  million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, up 169% or
$9.5  million as  compared  to the first six months of 1999.  This  increase  is
principally  attributed to personnel related costs and sales commissions of $5.3
million  associated  with the  growth  in sales and  marketing  staff and a $3.0
million increase in expenditures on advertising and marketing initiatives.

General and Administrative.

General and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily  of  compensation  and
occupancy  costs for executive,  financial,  legal,  tax and support  personnel,
travel,  and bad debt costs.  General and  administrative  expenses  amounted to
$10.0  million for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and $4.7  million for the
six months  ended June 30,  1999,  an  increase  of $5.3  million or 111%.  This
increase  resulted from increased  personnel costs of $.8 million to support the
expansion of the customer base and the overall growth of the business, increased
occupancy  costs  of $1.0  million  related  to the  move to the  Company's  new
headquarters  during  the  second  quarter,  an  increase  of $1.6  million  for
professional  audit,  tax,  legal and  consulting  services,  an increase of $.5
million in insurance expense,  and an increase of $.5 million in travel expense.
Bad debt expense  amounted to $.2 million in 2000 versus $.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.

Non-cash Compensation.

Non-cash  compensation  amounting to $8.2 million  represents  the  amortization
charge to  earnings  in the six months  ended June 30,  2000 for the  difference
between the imputed fair market value of our common stock and the exercise price
for options granted on various dates in 2000 and late 1999.

BECAUSE  OF THE  "PREDECESSOR"  STATEMENT  OF  OPERATIONS  IN  1999  BEING  ON A
DIFFERENT  BASIS  OF  ACCOUNTING,  THE  FOLLOWING  AREAS  IN  THE  STATEMENT  OF
OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 ARE NOT COMPARED:

Depreciation and Amortization.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $24.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. $13.9 million of this amount is attributed to depreciation on the
network  acquired  on  February  18,  2000  and  $6.9  million  relates  to  the
amortization of the goodwill associated with the mandated "push down accounting"
ascribed to the Bridge acquisition of SAVVIS in April,  1999.  Goodwill is being
amortized over three years.

Impairment of Assets.

The  asset  impairment  amount  reported  in the  1999  six-month  statement  of
operations related to an adjustment to the recorded value of fixed assets in the
amount of $1.4 million.

Interest.

Interest  income from the  investment of the initial  public  offering  proceeds
amounted to $3.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000. Interest expense
during the same period,  primarily  attributed to capitalized  lease obligations
and amounts payable to affiliates, amounted to $2.7 million.

Net Loss.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $65.7 million,  or $0.78
basic and diluted loss per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We generated  negative  cash flows from  operations of $31.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, we generated
negative operating cash flows of $12.3 million.

Net cash used in investing  activities was  approximately  $85.5 million,  which
primarily  reflects the  purchase of the Bridge  Internet  protocol  network and
other property and equipment not financed.  We obtained funds through  issuances
of equity  securities  and customer  receipts,  including  receipts from Bridge.
During the six month  period,  we increased  our net  outstanding  advances from
Bridge by approximately $.3 million.

Our  capital  expenditures,  including  the  purchase  of the Bridge IP network,
totaled   approximately  $244  million  in  the  six  month  period,   including
approximately  $158.3  million that has been financed  under existing or pending
financing arrangements. We expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately
$60 million for the  remainder  of 2000 as we build out  colocation  facilities,
deploy ATM  devices and expand our  network to 20 new  cities.  On February  18,
2000,  we  acquired   Bridge's   Internet  protocol  network  assets  for  total
consideration of approximately $77 million. Of this amount, $25 million was paid
by entering into a capital  lease  obligation  with Bridge.  At the request of a
lender,  approximately $2.5 million of the capitalized  principal obligation was
paid in March 2000. The remaining  purchase price of $52 million was paid with a
portion of the net  proceeds  from the  initial  public  offering  of our common
stock. We also paid to Bridge, out of the offering  proceeds,  approximately $69
million as a preferential distribution.

In connection  with our purchase of the network  assets,  we also entered into a
network  services  agreement  with  Bridge  under  which we provide  Bridge with
managed  data  networking  services.  Because the  amounts  paid to us under the
network services  agreement for the services  provided over the original network
acquired  from  Bridge  are based  upon the cash cost to  operate  the  original
network,  the  provision of such services did not and will not have an impact on
our cash flows from  operations.  However,  due to amortization and depreciation
relating to the network,  the provision of services  under the network  services
agreement  resulted in our incurring  losses from  operations,  and these losses
will continue until we can sell  additional  services over the network to Bridge
or to other  customers.  The  effects  of such  operating  losses  will  include
continued  increases in our accumulated  deficit and reductions in stockholders'
equity.

                                       15

<PAGE>

In addition  to  acquiring  the  Internet  protocol  Network,  we have  acquired
approximately  $145  million  in  network  equipment  through a  combination  of
financing  and  purchases  during  the  first six  months of 2000.  We have also
incurred  approximately  $22  million in costs in 2000  related  to data  center
construction.

We have  arrangements  with various  suppliers of  communications  services that
require us to maintain  minimum  spending  levels,  some of which  increase over
time. Our aggregate minimum spending level is approximately $28 million in 2000.
In specific  instances,  we are able to choose among a variety of communications
services offered to meet these spending minimums. We are currently exceeding all
of our  minimum  spending  requirements  and expect to  continue to do so as our
network  requirements  expand.  However,  if our  network  requirements  were to
decrease, we could be obligated to make payments to these suppliers for services
we do not need.

On June  30,  2000,  the  Company  entered  into a term  loan  facility  for the
financing of approximately $38 million of network equipment and services.  As of
June 30, 2000, the Company has not drawn on the financing  arrangement,  but has
recorded  approximately  $28 million of this equipment on its balance sheet.  Of
the $28  million  that has been  recorded,  approximately  $6  million  has been
previously paid for by the Company,  with the remaining $22 million  recorded in
accounts payable. In July 2000, the Company drew approximately $28 million under
this term loan  facility,  which will be recorded as notes  payable,  payable in
eight equal quarterly installments commencing on June 30, 2001, bearing interest
at a variable market-based rate.

On June 30,  2000,  SAVVIS  executed  an  agreement  to acquire  $30  million of
telecommunications equipment and related services with a vendor. Upon execution,
the Company took delivery of certain equipment and paid approximately $5 million
to the vendor.  Of the  remaining $25 million,  approximately  $16.5 million has
been  financed  by the  vendor  over six years at 11%  interest,  with  payments
commencing  in the third quarter of 2000.  The  remaining  $8.5 million has been
recorded in other accrued liabilities due over the next twelve months.

Although we plan to invest  significantly in equipment and in network expansion,
except as described in the preceding paragraphs, we have no material commitments
for such items at this time.  As we expand our  network,  increase  our employee
base to support our expanded  operations  and invest in our  marketing and sales
organizations,   we  expect  to  have  significant  cash  requirements  for  the
foreseeable future.

We believe that the net proceeds of the initial public offering will allow us to
continue  in  business as a going  concern  and will be  sufficient  to fund our
operating and capital needs through 2000. We are currently in discussions with a
number of vendors to obtain vendor financing for network equipment purchases and
with a number of  institutions  for the financing of our data  centers.  We will
need to raise a significant amount of capital to fund our capital  expenditures,
operating  deficits,  working capital needs and debt service  requirements after
2000. We intend to seek equity or debt financing  from external  sources to meet
our cash needs after 2000.  We cannot  assure you that such  additional  funding
will be available on terms satisfactory to us or at all.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposures relate to changes in interest rates. Following
the purchase of Bridge's  global  Internet  protocol  network assets in February
2000, we have begun to expand our business internationally,  and as a result, we
are also exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Our financial  instruments  that are sensitive to changes in interest  rates are
our  borrowings  from  Bridge,  all of which  were  entered  into for other than
trading purposes,  are denominated in U.S. Dollars, and bear interest at a fixed
rate of 8%.  Because the interest  rate on these  advances is fixed,  changes in
interest rates will not directly impact our cash flows. As of June 30, 2000, the
aggregate fair value of our borrowings approximated their carrying value.

Prior to our  purchase of the network  assets  from  Bridge,  changes in foreign
exchange rates did not impact our results of  operations.  For the quarter ended
June  30,  2000,  32% of our  service  revenue  from  Bridge  was  derived  from
operations  outside the United States, and approximately 25% of our total direct
costs  incurred were outside the United States.  We expect these  percentages to
remain  relatively  constant in the periods ahead.  Because our foreign  revenue
closely  matched our foreign  costs,  changes in foreign  exchange rates did not
have a material  impact on our results of  operations  in this  quarter.  In the
future, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risk.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation  relating to claims  arising
out of our ordinary  course of business.  We are not  currently  involved in any
material legal proceedings.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Between April 1, 2000 and June 30, 2000, we granted options to purchase  169,000
shares  of our  common  stock  to a  total  of 36 of our  employees,  each at an
exercise price of $13.875 per share,  and options to purchase  133,000 shares to
127  employees  each at an exercise  price of $14.9375  per share.  All of these
options were granted  pursuant to our 1999  Incentive  Stock Option Plan.  These
issuances  were  effected  in  transactions  not  subject  to  the  registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, and these transactions were effected
without the use of an underwriter.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2000,  proceeds of approximately  $21,000 were
generated  from the exercise of options for 41,219  shares of our common  stock.
There  were no  significant  expenses,  underwriting  discounts  or  commissions
attributable to these proceeds. We used the proceeds for general working capital
expenses  incurred in the ordinary  course of business.  These  options had been
granted  under our 1999  Incentive  Stock Option  Plan.  We issued the shares in
reliance  on the  exemption  from  registration  provided  by Rule 701 under the
Securities Act of 1933.

The Form S-1 relating to the initial public offering of 14,875,000 shares of our
common  stock was declared  effective  by the SEC on February 14, 2000.  We have
used  approximately  $127  million  from the net proceeds of $333 million of our
initial  public  offering  for payment to Bridge for the purchase of the network
and the  preferential  distribution  and to reduce  indebtedness  to Bridge.  $7
million was used for the purchase of the unlimited software licenses (see Note 6
to the unaudited  Consolidated  Financial  Statements),  and approximately  $100
million was used for general working capital purposes and network expansion.
