Item 2. Acquisition of Assets


         This Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report of 24/7 Media, Inc. on Form
8-K filed on August 17, 1999 to incorporate Item 7 (a), the Financial Statements
of Business Acquired.

         On August 10, 1999, 24/7 Media, Inc. ("24/7 Media" or "we") announced
the $52.9 million acquisition of Music Marketing Network Inc. (d/b/a/
ConsumerNet), a privately-held New Jersey Corporation and a provider of email
marketing solutions and database services. On August 17, 1999, we acquired all
of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of ConsumerNet in a merger
transaction whereby a subsidiary of 24/7 Media was merged with and into
ConsumerNet. 24/7 Media also assumed all of the outstanding stock options of
ConsumerNet under our stock incentive plan.

         Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 10, 1999
among 24/7 Media, Cloop Acquisition Corp. and ConsumerNet, 24/7 Media exchanged
approximately 1,700,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "24/7 Common Stock"), for all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
ConsumerNet. In connection with the merger, 24/7 Media also incurred transaction
costs of approximately $320,000 and retired debt of approximately $2.6 million.
The merger will be accounted for as a purchase business combination.

         The consideration payable by 24/7 Media was determined as a result of
negotiation by and between 24/7 Media and ConsumerNet. The number of shares of
24/7 Media Common Stock issued to the holders of ConsumerNet common stock was
determined based on an exchange rate of 0.312174547 shares of 24/7 Media Common
Stock for each share of ConsumerNet common stock. The number of shares of 24/7
Media Common Stock issued to the holders of ConsumerNet preferred stock was
determined based on an exchange rate of 113.698333 shares of 24/7 Media Common
Stock for each share of ConsumerNet preferred stock through the issuance of
common stock and cash of $1.6 million. Funds for such payment will be
provided from 24/7 Media's cash on hand.

         The net assets of ConsumerNet acquired by 24/7 Media as a result of
the merger transaction consisted of equipment, intellectual property, and
other physical property. These assets are used in connection with the
operation of ConsumerNet's email based direct marketing service. 24/7 Media
intends to operate the business and use the assets as previously operated and
used by ConsumerNet, provided that changing business conditions or strategic
plans may lead to changes in ConsumerNet's operations in the future.

         The Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 10, 1999 among 24/7
Media, Cloop Acquisition Corp. and ConsumerNet was filed with the Current Report
on Form 8-K filed on August 17, 1999 as Exhibit 5.1 and is incorporated herein
by reference. The press release dated August 10, 1999 was filed with the Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on August 17, 1999 as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1999 gives
effect to the acquisition of ConsumerNet as if the acquisition had occurred
on that date. The unaudited Pro Forma Combining Statements of Operations for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 gives
effect to the acquisition of ConsumerNet as if it had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented.

Under the terms of the transaction, the holders of ConsumerNet common stock
received shares of 24/7 Media common stock on the basis of an exchange ratio of
0.312174547 shares of 24/7 Media Common Stock for each share of ConsumerNet
common stock. The number of shares of 24/7 Media Common Stock issued to the
holders of ConsumerNet preferred stock was determined on the basis of an
exchange ratio of 113.698333 shares of 24/7 Common Stock for each share of
ConsumerNet preferred stock. The conversion ratio was determined through arm's
length negotiations.

The consideration paid by 24/7 Media in connection with the acquisition of
approximately $51.8 million consisted of the following;

     o    The issuance of approximately 1.7 million shares of 24/7 Media Common
          Stock valued at approximately $45.0 million as consideration for all
          ConsumerNet shares outstanding;

     o    the repayment of ConsumerNet's debt of approximately $2.5 milllion as
          well as accrued interest of $109,000 through the issuance of
          approximately 33,000 shares of 24/7 Media Common Stock and cash of
          approximately $1.6 million;

     o    the payment of accrued preferred stock dividends amounting to $360,000
          to ConsumerNet's preferred stockholders as of June 30, 1999;

     o    the payment of employee bonuses triggered by the transaction, through
          the issuance of approximately 39,000 shares of 24/7 Media common stock
          valued at approximately $1.0 million and cash of approximately
          $700,000;

     o    the value of the ConsumerNet options exchanged for 24/7 options of
          approximately $1.9 million; and

     o    estimated transaction costs of $320,000.

We will record the merger as a purchase transaction. For accounting purposes,
24/7 Media, will be deemed to be the surviving corporation in the merger. The
pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and upon
assumptions that management of each of 24/7 Media and ConsumerNet believes are
reasonable. We will account for the merger based upon the estimated fair market
value of the net tangible and intangible assets (liabilities) acquired at the
date of acquisition. The adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combining Financial Statements represent the preliminary determination of these
adjustments based upon available information. We cannot assure you that the
actual adjustments will not differ significantly from the pro forma adjustments
reflected in the pro forma financial information.

We have allocated a portion of the purchase price to the net book value of the
acquired assets and liabilities of ConsumerNet as of the date of acquisition.
The excess of the purchase price over the net book value of the acquired assets
and liabilities of ConsumerNet has preliminarily been allocated to goodwill and
other intangibles. Goodwill and other intangibles will be amortized over a
period of 4 years, the estimated expected period of benefit. The allocation is
preliminary and may be subject to change upon further evaluation of fair value
of the acquired assets and liabilities of ConsumerNet at the date of acquisition
as well as potential identification of certain intangible assets.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combining Financial Statements are intended for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of either future
results of operations or results that might have been achieved if the foregoing
transactions had been consummated as of the indicated dates. The Unaudited Pro
Forma Combining Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with and are
qualified by the historical financial statements and supplemental financial
statements of 24/7 Media and historical financial statements of ConsumerNet,
together with the related notes thereto. We have included the historical
financial statements of ConsumerNet elsewhere in this document.

24/7 Media has made a preliminary allocation of excess cost over estimated
net assets acquired to goodwill and other intangibles as ConsumerNet's assets
and liabilities are estimated to approximate fair value.

(2) Reflects the elimination of interest expense attributable to ConsumerNet's
debt repaid in the acquisition.

(3) Reflects amortization expense of the goodwill and other intangibles by
use of the straight-line method over the estimated expected period of benefit
of 4 years. The allocation is preliminary and may be subject to change upon
further evaluation of fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities of
ConsumerNet at the date of acquisition as well as potential identification of
certain intangible assets.

(4) The average common shares outstanding used in calculating pro forma basic
net loss per common share is calculated assuming that the estimated number of
shares of 24/7 Media's common stock to be issued in the merger were
outstanding from the beginning of the periods presented. Options to purchase
shares of common stock were not included in computing pro forma diluted
earnings per common share because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

(5) The elimination of ConsumerNet's accrued dividends on preferred shares.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Shareholders of

         Music Marketing Network Inc.:


We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Music Marketing Network Inc.
(the Company) as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the six months then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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 persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit 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.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                             MUSIC MARKETING NETWORK

                               (D/B/A CONSUMERNET)


                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

                                   (UNAUDITED)



(1)  NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

       Music Marketing Network, Inc. (d/b/a ConsumerNet) (the "Company") was
       incorporated on February 3, 1992 as a C corporation and has no
       subsidiaries.

       The Company originally operated solely in the music industry. The Company
       has the following two principal divisions: marketing services, which
       includes consumer merchandising, and consumer information management. As
       discussed in Note 10, a decision was made in January 1998 to discontinue
       consumer merchandising.

       The Company provides a wide variety of integrated services to music
       artists, record labels, distributors, retailers, publishers and other
       entertainment companies.

       During 1998, the Company entered into e-mail marketing and is now a
       leading provider of e-mail marketing solutions. The Company acquires,
       manages and markets self-reported consumer preference information from
       both online and offline data sources, creating one of the industry's
       largest "opt-in" cooperative database of demographic and psychographic
       consumer preference information. The Company's database consists of
       consumers who have provided self-reported information in more than 20
       major categories. Merging its technological and database management
       expertise, the Company generates in-depth consumer profiles that reveal
       behavioral purchasing patterns. These findings enable the Company's
       clients to target promotions to consumers.

       In June 1999, the Company entered into a recapitalization agreement with
       Metromail Corp. ("Metromail") whereby the outstanding Series A and Series
       B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 3,000 shares of Series
       C Convertible Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series C are more fully
       described in Note 8. In connection with the recapitalization, the
       accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A and Series B were
       reduced by 50%.

(2)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS-

       The fair value of financial instruments, consisting of investments in
       cash and cash equivalents, receivables, obligations under accounts
       payable and debt instruments, approximates fair value at June 30, 1999
       and 1998.

       USE OF ESTIMATES-

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
       the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
       and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
       from these estimates.

       REVENUE RECOGNITION-

       Revenue is recognized as earned, which coincides with the completion of
       projects.

       CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS-

       The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
       three months or less to be cash equivalents.

       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT-

       Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the
       estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line
       method over three to seven years.

       Property and equipment at June 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows-

                                                  1999           1998
                                               ---------       ---------
                 Machinery and equipment       $ 337,594       $ 310,443
                 Furniture and fixtures           23,789           9,412
                 Accumulated depreciation       (239,605)       (142,797)
                                               ---------       ---------
                                               $ 121,778       $ 177,058
                                               =========       =========

       Depreciation expense was $54,664 and $40,248 for the six months ended
       June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS-

       In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No.
       131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
       Information" were issued and are effective for periods beginning after
       December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting
       comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 131 establishes
       standards for reporting financial and descriptive information regarding
       an enterprise's operating segments. These standards increase financial
       reporting disclosures and had no impact on the Company's financial
       position or results of operations.

       In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
       American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
       Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5") "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
       Activities." SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
       December 15, 1998. The adoption of SOP 98-5 did not have a material
       impact on the financial position or results of operations for the period

(3)  CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE:

       On December 29, 1997, Metromail agreed to lend to the Company up to
       $1,500,000 under a convertible note payable (the "Note"). Advances under
       the note were payable on demand and bore interest at 10%. The Note was
       convertible at the holder's option into shares of common stock based on
       the then conversion price, as defined, on the date of conversion. As of
       June 30, 1998, $1,500,000 was outstanding under the note. Also as of June
       30, 1998, Metromail advanced an additional $270,000 to the Company
       resulting in total borrowings from Metromail of $1,770,000.

       In connection with the borrowings under the Note, the Company issued
       1,058,869 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise
       price of $1.00 per share, which was in excess of fair market value at the
       time of issuance. At the time of the borrowings, the Company attributed
       no value to these warrants. In 1999, all of the outstanding warrants were
       cancelled in connection with the Company's recapitalization.

       In February 1999, the Note plus accrued interest and approximately
       $80,000 of shareholder contributions were converted into a $2,000,000
       promissory note due at various dates through 2005, bearing interest at
       10% and collateralized by all of the assets of the Company. The
       promissory note will be subordinated to any amount owing by the Company
       up to $550,000 with a lender for the purpose of obtaining working
       capital. The promissory note was paid in cash and stock in August 1999.

(4)  LOANS PAYABLE:

       During 1998, one stockholder and two investors advanced $150,000 to the
       Company under a loan payable. The loans matured on March 15, 1999. The
       loans bore interest at a stated amount of $15,000 in total. During the
       six months ended June 30, 1999, one of the stockholders and one investor
       converted $100,000 and $30,000 of their loans payable into 1,500,000 and
       98,077 shares of common stock, respectively.

       The conversion of the $100,000 loan was deemed to have been done at less
       than fair market value of the Company's common stock at the conversion
       date. As a result, the Company recognized $195,000 of noncash
       compensation expense in connection with this conversion during the six
       months ended June 30, 1999.

(5)  NOTE PAYABLE:

       On January 30, 1998, the Company entered into a $150,000 demand note with
       Atlas Communications, Ltd. The demand note bears interest at a variable
       rate equal to the prime rate plus 2% (7.75% at June 30, 1999) per annum.
       The demand note was to be utilized for potential joint ventures with
       Atlas.

(6) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:

       During 1999, the Company entered into a short-term borrowing arrangement
       with a lender which permitted borrowings up to $500,000 for working
       capital purposes based on certain assets of the Company. Borrowings under
       this arrangement are senior to all other outstanding borrowings of the
       Company and bear interest at 17%. The arrangement expires in February
       2000. In connection with this arrangement, the Company and the lender
       entered into an enhancement option agreement. This agreement provides for
       a cash enhancement fee of not less than $24,000 and not more than
       $75,000. The lender may choose to convert the cash fee into a stock
       option that will be exercisable at $1.00 per share. No value has been
       ascribed to this option. The short-term borrowings were paid in full
       subsequent to the sale of the Company (see Note 11) and the arrangement
       was terminated.

(7)  INCOME TAXES:

       The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
       Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
       which utilizes the asset and liability approach to measure income tax
       expense. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of
       deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
       consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement
       carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities.

       The components of the Company's net deferred income tax assets at June
       30, 1999 and 1998 are primarily net operating loss carryforwards,
       allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciation. The net operating loss
       carryforwards at December 31, 1998 amounted to approximately $5,300,000
       and expire at various dates through the year 2018.

       Based upon the Company's historical taxable income record, management
       does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will
       realize any benefit of the net deferred tax assets at June 30, 1999 and
       1998. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against
       the net deferred tax asset at June 30, 1999 and 1998.

(8)  OPERATING LEASES:

       The Company leases its office and warehouse facilities and certain
       equipment under noncancelable lease agreements. The lease on the
       Company's main office facilities expires in 2003; all other leases expire
       through 2001. The typical lease period is one to five years and most
       leases contain renewal options. Rent expense for operating leases was
       $77,074 and $130,339 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
       respectively.

       Commitments for all noncancelable operating leases at June 30, 1999 are
       as follows-

           2000                                   $205,254
           2001                                    177,464
           2002                                    176,775
           2003                                     45,075
                                                  --------
           Total minimum lease commitments        $604,568

(9)  SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT:

       On January 2, 1997, the Initial Closing under the Purchase Agreement for
       the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A") was
       executed via the conversion of the Company's $700,000 bridge note
       payable, net of $87,200 of deferred financing costs, to Metromail into
       Series A and receipt of $1,800,000 in cash. In October 1997, Metromail
       purchased 500 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series
       B") for $500,000 cash. In conjunction with the Initial Closing, the
       Company also amended its articles of incorporation to increase the number
       of authorized common shares from 100 to 5,000,000.

       The Series A and Series B were convertible into common stock at a
       conversion rate of $3.8351 and $2.2953 per share, respectively. The
       Series A and Series B were convertible at any time at the option of the
       holder. The Series A and Series B accumulated dividends at a rate of 10%
       per share. During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the six months
       ended June 30, 1998, the Company accumulated $111,782 and $148,767 of
       preferred dividends related to the Series A and Series B. As discussed in
       Note 1, the holders of the Series A and Series B had 50% of the
       accumulated dividends cancelled as part of their conversion of Series A
       and Series B preferred stock into Series C Preferred Stock in June 1999.

       In June 1999, the Company amended its Restated Certificate of
       Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock $0.01 par
       value from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000. In addition, the Company authorized
       3,000 shares of $0.01 par value Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series
       C"). The Series C accrue dividends cumulatively at 10% per year. The
       Company shall redeem, at the request of the holder on or after March 31,
       2004, 50% of the total number of shares of Series C and on or after March
       31, 2005, 100% of the total number of shares at a rate of $500 multiplied
       by the number of Series C shares and dividing it by the conversion price
       of $1.4351512. The conversion price is adjustable based upon certain
       events described under the terms of the Series C. The liquidation value
       of the Series C is $500 per share. In connection with the sale of the
       Company in August 1999, all of these shares were converted into common
       stock of 24/7 Media, Inc. (see Note 11).

       Additionally, the Company entered into a Data Rights Agreement with
       Metromail on January 2, 1997, the terms of which included certain
       database technical support and consulting services by Metromail to the
       Company. During 1997, Metromail contributed approximately $151,000 of
       certain hardware pursuant to the Data Rights Agreement which was
       reflected as a capital contribution. The Data Rights Agreement was
       terminated in February 1999.

       STOCK OPTIONS-

       During 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
       Under the Plan, 289,903 shares of common stock of the Company have been
       reserved for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options.
       Awards may be granted to such directors, employees and consultants of the
       Company as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall in
       its discretion select. Options granted under the Plan have a ten year
       term. In general, options vest 25% on the date of grant and 25% on each
       anniversary date thereafter.

(10)   BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING:

         In January 1998, the Company made a decision to discontinue the
         consumer merchandising division. The net income of this line of
         business was $5,234 and $223,813 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
         and 1998, respectively. Substantially all of the assets disposed of
         were accounts receivable and inventory. In addition, the Company had
         certain accounts payable and accrued expenses related to this
         operation. The entire net amount was realized during the year ended
         December 31, 1998.

(11)   SALE OF BUSINESS:

         On August 17, 1999, 24/7 Media, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding
         capital stock of the Company for $52 million of 24/7 Media, Inc. stock.
         The number of shares issued was based on an exchange rate of
         0.312174547 per common share and 113.698333 per preferred share of the
         Company. As a result of the acquisition, the Company will be merged
         with 24/7 Mail, an independent subsidiary of 24/7 Media, Inc.

                          MUSIC MARKETING NETWORK, INC.

                               (D/B/A CONSUMERNET)


                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

(1)  NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

       Music Marketing Network, Inc. (d/b/a ConsumerNet) (the "Company") was
       incorporated on February 3, 1992 as a C corporation and has no
       subsidiaries.

       The Company originally operated solely in the music industry. The Company
       has the following two principal divisions: marketing services, which
       includes consumer merchandising, and consumer information management. As
       discussed in Note 10, a decision was made in January 1998 to discontinue
       consumer merchandising.

       The Company provides a wide variety of integrated services to music
       artists, record labels, distributors, retailers, publishers and other
       entertainment companies.

       During 1998, the Company entered into e-mail marketing and is now a
       leading provider of e-mail marketing solutions. The Company acquires,
       manages and markets self-reported consumer preference information from
       both online and offline data sources, creating one of the industry's
       largest "opt-in" cooperative database of demographic and psychographic
       consumer preference information. The Company's database consists of
       consumers who have provided self-reported information in more than 20
       major categories. Merging its technological and database management
       expertise, the Company generates in-depth consumer profiles that reveal
       behavioral purchasing patterns. These findings enable the Company's
       clients to target promotions to consumers.

(2)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS-

       The fair value of financial instruments, consisting of investments in
       cash and cash equivalents, receivables, obligations under accounts
       payable and debt instruments, approximates fair value at December 31,
       1998 and 1997.

       USE OF ESTIMATES-

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
       the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
       and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
       from these estimates.

       REVENUE RECOGNITION-

       Revenue is recognized as earned, which coincides with the completion of
       projects.

       CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS-

       The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
       three months or less to be cash equivalents.

       CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK-

       In 1998, the two largest customers accounted for 13% and 10% of revenues,
       respectively.

       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT-

       Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the
       estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line
       method over three to seven years.

       Property and equipment at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows-

                                           1998            1997
                                         ---------       ---------

           Machinery and equipment       $ 323,978       $ 284,098
           Furniture and fixtures            9,412           7,242
           Accumulated depreciation       (184,941)       (102,549)
                                         ---------       ---------
                                         $ 148,449       $ 188,791
                                         =========       =========

       Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was
       $82,390 and $49,158, respectively.

       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS-

       In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No.
       131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
       Information" were issued and are effective for periods beginning after
       December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting
       comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 131 establishes
       standards for reporting financial and descriptive information regarding
       an enterprise's operating segments. These standards increase financial
       reporting disclosures and had no impact on the Company's financial
       position or results of operations.

       In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
       American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
       Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"). "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
       Activities." SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
       December 15, 1998. The Company does not believe that adoption of SOP 98-5
       will have a material impact on the financial position or results of
       operations.

(3)  CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE:

       On December 29, 1997, Metromail Corp. ("Metromail") agreed to lend to the
       Company up to $1,500,000 under a convertible note payable (the "Note").
       Advances under the Note are payable on demand and bear interest at 10%.
       The Note is convertible at the holder's option into shares of common
       stock based on the then conversion price, as defined, on the date of
       conversion. The Note automatically converts to common stock upon an
       initial public offering. As of December 31, 1997, $150,000 was
       outstanding under the Note.

       During the year ended December 31, 1998, Metromail advanced $1,350,000 of
       the remaining amounts under the Note. Also, during 1998, Metromail
       advanced an additional $270,000 to the Company resulting in total
       borrowings from Metromail of $1,770,000 (collectively, "The Notes") as of
       December 31, 1998.

       In connection with the borrowings under the Note, the Company issued
       1,058,869 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise
       price of $1.00 per share, which was in excess of fair market at the time
       of issuance. At the time of the borrowings, the Company attributed no
       value to these warrants. In 1999, all of the outstanding warrants were
       cancelled in connection with the Company's recapitalization.

       In February 1999, the Note plus accrued interest and approximately
       $80,000 of shareholders contributions were converted into a $2,000,000
       promissory note due at various dates through 2005, bearing interest at
       10% and collateralized by all of the assets of the Company. The
       promissory note was subordinated to any amount owing by the Company up to
       $550,000 with a lender for the purpose of obtaining working capital. The
       promissory note was paid in cash and stock in August 1999.

(4)  LOANS PAYABLE:

       During 1998, one stockholder and two investors advanced $150,000 to the
       Company under a loan payable. The loans matured on March 15, 1999. The
       loans bore interest at a stated amount of $15,000 in total. During 1999,
       $130,000 of these loans were converted into common stock. The remaining
       $20,000 was paid in full.

(5)  NOTE PAYABLE:

       On January 30, 1998, the Company entered into a $150,000 demand note with
       Atlas Communications, Ltd. The demand note bears interest at a variable
       rate equal to the prime rate plus 2% (7.75% at December 31, 1998) per
       annum. The demand note was to be utilized for potential joint ventures
       with Atlas.

(6)  INCOME TAXES:

       The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
       Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
       which utilizes the asset and liability approach to measure income tax
       expense. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of
       deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
       consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement
       carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities.

<PAGE>
                                      -4-


       The components of the Company's net deferred income tax assets at
       December 31, 1998 and 1997 are primarily net operating loss
       carryforwards, allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciation. The net
       operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 1998 amounted to
       approximately $5,300,000 and expire at various dates through the year
       2018.

       Based upon the Company's historical taxable income record, management
       does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will
       realize any benefit of the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 1998
       and 1997. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded
       against the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

(7)  OPERATING LEASES:

       The Company leases its office and warehouse facilities and certain
       equipment under noncancelable lease agreements. The lease on the
       Company's main office facilities expires in 2003; all other leases expire
       through 2001. The typical lease period is one to five years and most
       leases contain renewal options. Rent expense for operating leases was
       $241,878 and $225,464 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
       respectively.

       Commitments for all noncancelable operating leases are as follows-

                   1999                              $     211,253
                   2000                                    193,210
                   2001                                    170,066
                   2002                                    135,225
                                                     -------------

                                                     =============

(8)  SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT:

       On January 2, 1997, the Initial Closing under the Purchase Agreement for
       the issuance of 2,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
       "Series A") was executed via the conversion of the Company's $700,000
       bridge note payable, net of approximately $87,200 of deferred financing
       costs, to Metromail into Series A and receipt of approximately $1,800,000
       in cash. In October 1997, Metromail purchased 500 shares of Series B
       Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B") for $500,000 cash. In
       conjunction with the Initial Closing, the Company also amended its
       articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common
       shares from 100 to 5,000,000.

       The Series A and Series B are convertible into common stock at a
       conversion rate of $3.8351 and $2.2953 per share, respectively. The
       Series A and Series B are convertible at any time at the option of the
       holder. The Series A and Series B accumulate dividends at a rate of 10%
       per share. During 1998 and 1997, the Company accumulated $300,000 and
       $271,507 of preferred dividends related to the Series A and Series B (see
       Note 10).

       In June 1999, the Company amended its Restated Certificate of
       Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock $0.01 par
       value from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000. In addition, the Company authorized
       3,000 shares of $0.01 par value Series C Preferred Stock (the Series C).
       The Series C accrue dividends cumulatively at 10% per year. The Company
       shall redeem, at the request of the holder on or after March 31, 2004,
       50% of the total number of shares of Series C and on or after March 31,
       2005, 100% of the total number of shares outstanding of Series C. The
       Series C shares are also convertible into common stock at a rate of $500
       multiplied by the number of Series C shares and dividing it by the
       conversion price of $1.4351512. The conversion price is adjustable based
       upon certain events described under the terms of the Series C. The
       liquidation value of the Series C is $500 per share.

       Additionally, the Company entered into a Data Rights Agreement with
       Metromail on January 2, 1997, the terms of which included certain
       database technical support and consulting services by Metromail to the
       Company. During 1997, Metromail contributed approximately $150,000 of
       certain hardware pursuant to the Data Rights Agreement that was
       capitalized in fixed assets and reflected as a capital contribution
       within equity. The Data Rights Agreement was terminated in February 1999.

       STOCK OPTIONS-

       During 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
       Under the Plan, 289,903 shares of common stock of the Company have been
       reserved for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options.
       Awards may be granted to such directors, employees and consultants of the
       Company as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall in
       its discretion select. Options granted under the Plan have a ten year
       term. In general, options vest 25% on the date of grant and 25% on each
       anniversary date thereafter.

       The following is a summary of the Plan's stock option activity-

       As discussed in Note 2, the Company has adopted the disclosure provisions
       of SFAS No. 123 and continues to account for its stock options in
       accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. Had compensation for the Plan been
       determined consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the effect on
       the Company's net loss would have been the following-

                                         1998              1997
                                      -----------       -----------

           Net loss, as reported      $(2,213,863)      $(3,064,787)
                                      ===========       ===========
           Net loss, pro forma        $(2,258,860)      $(3,087,069)
                                      ===========       ===========

       The weighted average fair value on the date of grant was $0.92 and $0.48
       for options granted during 1998 and 1997, respectively. The fair value of
       each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the
       Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for
       both 1998 and 1997-

           Expected option lives                   5 years
           Risk-free interest rates                  5.5%
           Expected volatility                        0%
           Dividend yield                             0%

(9)    BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING:

       In January 1998, the Company made a decision to discontinue the consumer
       merchandising division. The net income (loss) of this line of business
       were $165,918 and ($488,028) for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
       1997, respectively. Substantially all of the assets disposed of were
       accounts receivable and inventory. In addition, the Company had certain
       accounts payable and accrued expenses related to this operation. The net
       amount of approximately $64,000 has been reflected in the accompanying
       balance sheets as net assets discontinued operations as of December 31,
       1997. This entire amount was realized during the year ended December 31,
       1998.

(10)   RECAPITALIZATION:

       In June 1999, the Company entered into a recapitalization agreement with
       Metromail whereby all of the outstanding Series A and Series B
       Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 3,000 shares of Series C
       Convertible Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series C are more fully
       described in Note 8. In connection with this recapitalization, the
       accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A and Series B were
       reduced by 50%.

(11)   SALE OF BUSINESS:

       On August 17, 1999, 24/7 Media, Inc., acquired all of the outstanding
       capital stock of the Company for approximately $52 million of 24/7 Media,
       Inc. common stock. The number of shares issued was based on an exchange
       rate of 0.312174547 per common share and 113.698333 per preferred share
       of the Company. As a result of the acquisition, the Company will be
       merged with 24/7 Mail, an independent subsidiary of 24/7 Media, Inc.
