INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
New Hope Communications, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of New Hope Natural Media (a
division of New Hope Communications, Inc.) as of December 31, 1998, and the
related statements of operations and owner's deficit, and cash flows for the
year then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
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 audit provides 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 New Hope Natural Media as of
December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NEW HOPE NATURAL MEDIA
(A Division of New Hope Communications, Inc.)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 (unaudited)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
New Hope Communications, Inc. (New Hope or the Company) was
incorporated in 1980. Effective May 27, 1999, Penton Media, Inc.
(Penton) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement)
with New Hope to purchase substantially all of the net assets of
the Company's publishing and trade show businesses, which operate
primarily in the natural foods industry (New Hope Natural Media or
the Division). New Hope retained its local newspaper and theater
operations. The accompanying financial statements include the
assets, liabilities and operations of the Division, assuming that
the Division had been operated separately as of January 1, 1998
and thereafter.
The accompanying unaudited financial information as of March 31,
1999 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information. All significant
adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments,
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998 have been included. Operating results for the
three-month period ending March 31, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b) CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Division considers all highly liquid investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
(c) EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and leasehold improvements, including equipment acquired
under capital leases, are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term for
leasehold improvements, whichever is less, which range from 3 to 7
years for equipment. Repairs and maintenance are charged to
operations and major improvements are capitalized.
(d) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Advertising revenue is recognized upon publication of magazines
including the advertisement. Advance deposits received from
customers for exhibit space and attendance at trade shows
sponsored by the Division are deferred until the trade show
occurs, at which time such amounts are recognized as revenue.

NEW HOPE NATURAL MEDIA
(A Division of New Hope Communications, Inc.)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 (unaudited)
(e) INCOME TAXES
The operations of the Division are included in the income returns
of New Hope, which has elected S corporation status for income tax
purposes. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Company
and the Division were included in the individual income tax
returns of the shareholders of New Hope, and no provision for
income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial
statements of the Division. However, pro forma information has
been included in the accompanying statement of operations to
reflect a pro forma adjustment for income tax expense as if the
Division had been a separate taxable entity subject to federal and
state income taxes for all periods presented.
(f) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Division to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. As of
December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, the Division had no
concentrations of credit risk. Concentrations of credit risk with
respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number
of customers comprising the Division's customer base and the
relatively minor balances of each individual account. At December
31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, the fair value of the Division's
financial instruments approximate their carrying value, based on
their terms and interest rates.
(2) EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Equipment and leasehold improvements are comprised of the following:

Total rent expense, including month-to-month rentals, for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was
$719,864, $262,534 and $109,218, respectively.
The following is a summary of the net book value of equipment owned under
capital leases at December 31, 1998:

(4) RETIREMENT PLAN
The Division's employees participated in New Hope's retirement plan,
which was established under the requirements of Internal Revenue Code
Section 401(k). Employees could make voluntary contributions and the
Division and New Hope, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of New
Hope, could match a percentage of the employees' contribution. There were
no employer contributions to the Plan for the year ended December 31,
1998 or for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.
(5) YEAR 2000 ISSUES (UNAUDITED)
The Company has initiated a plan (Plan) to identify, asses and remediate
"Year 2000" issues within each of its significant computer systems and
applications. The Plan is addressing the issue of computer systems being
unable to distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000, if a
program uses only two digits rather than four to define the applicable
year. Systems which have been determined not to be Year 2000 compliant
are being either replaced or reprogrammed, and thereafter tested for Year
2000 compliance. The Plan anticipates compliance by September 1, 1999.
The Company is also in the process of identifying and contacting critical
suppliers whose computerized systems are used by the Company and the
Division, regarding their plans and progress in addressing their Year
2000 issues. The Company has received varying information from such third
parties on the state of compliance or expected compliance.
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect the
Company's and the Division's operations, liquidity and financial
condition. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000
problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000
readiness of third-party suppliers, the Company and the Division are
unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000
failures will have a material impact on the Company's and the Division's
operations, liquidity or financial condition.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
MARCH 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet is presented as if
the following had occurred on March 31, 1999: (i) the Company's acquisition of
New Hope Natural Media in May 1999; (ii) the acquisition of Jon Peddie
Associates in May 1999; (iii) the addition of $15 million in term B loans in
April 1999; (iv) the sale by the Company of 6,430,000 common shares completed in
May 1999, and (v) the elimination of deferred finance fees related to the
extinguishment of part of the outstanding senior debt. This pro forma
consolidated balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the pro forma
consolidated statement of income of the Company presented herein and the
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998
and its report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1999.
All purchase price allocations for the Donohue/Meehan Publishing Company
acquisition (August 1998), the Mecklermedia Corporation acquisition (November
1998), the Jon Peddie Associates acquisition (May 1999), the MFG Publishing Inc.
acquisition (February 1999) and the New Hope Natural Media acquisition (May
1999), are treated as purchase transactions, are preliminary in nature and are
subject to change within the twelve months following each acquisition based on
refinements as actual data becomes available.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet does not purport to represent
what the actual financial position of the Company would have been at March 31,
1999, nor does it purport to represent the future financial position of the
Company.
At June 30, 1999, upon the initial public offering of internet.com at $14.00
per share, the Company utilized mark to market accounting to record its
investment at the market value on that date. The Company increased its
investment by $61.0 million and recorded a corresponding increase to deferred
taxes of $24.4 million, and equity of $36.6 million. In July 1999, the Company
sold 510,000 shares of internet.com stock as part of internet.com's offering
