ACQUISITION OF SAGE ONLINE, INC.

On March 22, 2000, Multex.com, Inc. ("Multex") completed its acquisition of Sage
Online, Inc. a Pennsylvania Corporation ("Sage"), pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization, dated March 13, 2000 by and between Multex.com, Inc.,
Multex A Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Multex ("Merger Sub"),
and Sage and the shareholders of Sage. The acquisition was accomplished through
the merger of Merger Sub with and into Sage. Consideration payable by Multex was
determined as a result of negotiation between Multex and Sage. The consideration
paid consisted of 354,183 shares of common stock of Multex and $6.0 million in
cash.

The total purchase price for this transaction was approximately $17.1 million.
The difference between the fair market value of Sage's net tangible assets and
the purchase price will be accounted for as goodwill and will be amortized over
ten years, the expected benefit period.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

(a)   On March 22, 2000, Multex.com, Inc. ("Multex") acquired Sage Online, Inc.
("Sage") for approximately $17.1 million including acquisition costs pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 13, 2000 (the "Sage Merger
Agreement"), among Multex, Sage and the shareholders of Sage. Pursuant to the
terms of the Sage Merger Agreement, Sage merged with and into Multex and became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Multex. The acquisition will be accounted for as a
purchase business combination. The consideration payable by Multex in connection
with the acquisition of Sage consisted of the following: 354,183 shares of
Multex
<PAGE>

common stock valued at $11 million and $6.0 million in cash . The Company also
incurred acquisition costs of approximately $100,000.

The following represents the allocation of the purchase price over the
historical net book value of the acquired assets and liabilities of Sage at
December 31, 1999, and is for illustrative pro forma purposes only. Actual fair
values have been based on financial information as of the acquisition date
(March 22, 2000), which are not expected to be significantly different from the
historical net book value of the acquired assets and liabilities. Assuming the
transaction occurred on December 31, 1999, the allocation would have been as
follows:


          Assets acquired:
               Cash and cash equivalents           $     84,202
               Accounts receivable                       49,584
               Prepaid expenses and other
                  current assets                          1,895
               Property and equipment                    39,126
               Goodwill                              17,252,320
                                                    -----------
                                                     17,427,127

          Liabilities assumed                          (290,785)
                                                   ------------
                                                   $ 17,136,342
                                                   ============

This allocation is preliminary and my be subject to change upon evaluation of
the fair value of Sage's acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition
date as well as the potential identification of certain intangible assets.

The Pro Forma adjustment reconciles the historical balance sheet of Sage at
December 31, 1999 to the allocated purchase price assuming the transaction had
occurred on December 31, 1999.

(b)  Goodwill will be amortized over a period of 10 years, the expected period
of benefit. The Pro Forma adjustment to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations
reflects twelve months of amortization expense for the year ended December 31,
1999, assuming the transaction occurred on January 1, 1999. The Pro Forma
adjustment to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations reflects three months of
amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
