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 auditing standards generally accepted

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free

made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

On March 31, 2000 all of the outstanding stock of Knowledge Stream Partners,

the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted

                                      F-5
<PAGE>

(1)    OPERATIONS

       Knowledge Stream Partners, Inc. (the Company), formerly Geneve Consulting
       Group, Inc., specializes in consulting and software development for
       advanced data mining and online/offline analytics.

       On March 31, 2000, all of the outstanding stock of the Company was
       acquired by Xchange, Inc., formerly Exchange Applications, Inc. Under the
       terms of the agreement, Xchange will issue shares of its common stock and
       stock options to existing holders of the Company's common stock and
       options. The value of the Xchange common stock to be issued in the
       transaction, including shares issuable under assumed options, is
       approximately $52 million, $17 million of which will be held in escrow to
       cover certain indemnification obligations and purchase-price adjustments.

(2)    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       The accompanying financial statements reflect the application of certain
       significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere
       in the accompanying financial statements and notes.

       (a)    NET LOSS PER SHARE

              In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
              (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, basic and diluted net loss per
              common share is calculated by dividing the net loss applicable to
              common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares
              outstanding. Diluted net loss per share excludes the dilutive
              effect of potential common shares, consisting of outstanding stock
              options to purchase 136,454 shares of common stock, as their
              inclusion would be antidilutive.

       (b)    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

              The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
              an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

       (c)    REVENUE RECOGNITION

              The Company generates revenue from services provided to customers
              in relation to build and deliver projects for customized software.
              Revenues from services are recognized on either a
              time-and-materials basis or, on fixed price contracts,
              percentage-of-completion basis as the services are performed,
              provided that amounts due are fixed or determinable and deemed
              collectible by management. If conditions for acceptance are
              required subsequent to delivery of services, revenues are
              recognized upon customer acceptance. Amounts collected or billed
              prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are
              reflected as deferred revenue.

              The Company has not capitalized costs incurred relating to its
              fixed-price contracts prior to recognition of revenue as
              realizability of such assets is uncertain due to significant
              customer acceptance conditions.

       (d)    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

              The Company provides for depreciation and amortization by charges
              to operations on a straight-line basis in amounts estimated to
              allocate the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives,
              as follows:

                                                              ESTIMATED
                             ASSET CLASSIFICATION            USEFUL LIFE

                           Computer equipment             3 years
                           Furniture and fixtures         7 years
                           Leasehold improvements         Shorter of lease term
                                                          and useful life

              Depreciation and amortization expense in 1999 was approximately
              $162,000.

       (e)    LONG-LIVED ASSETS

              In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR
              IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE
              DISPOSED OF, the Company evaluates the realizability of its
              long-lived assets at each reporting period based on projected
              future cash flows. As of December 31, 1999 the Company has
              determined that no material adjustment to the carrying value of
              its long-lived assets was required.

       (f)    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 and disclosure of contingent 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 those estimates.

       (g)    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

              All of the Company's research and development expenses have been
              charged to operations as incurred. In accordance with SFAS No. 86,
              ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD, LEASED
              OR OTHERWISE MARKETED, the Company will capitalize software
              development costs incurred after the technological feasibility of
              software development projects has been established. For the year
              ended December 31, 1999, no software development costs met the
              criteria for capitalization.

       (h)    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

              SFAS No. 105, DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL
              INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
              WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK, requires disclosure of any
              significant off-balance-sheet risks and credit risk
              concentrations. The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet
              risks or credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts or other
              foreign hedging arrangements.


                                      F-7
<PAGE>

              In 1999, 90% of total revenues were derived from three customers.
              As of December 31, 1999, these three customers accounted for 93%
              of the accounts receivable balance.

       (i)    ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

              In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR
              STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which requires the measurement of the
              fair value of stock options to be included in the statement of
              income or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The
              Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees under
              Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and discloses the pro
              forma effect of adopting SFAS No. 123 in the notes to the
              financial statements.

       (j)    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

              SFAS No. 107, DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
              INSTRUMENTS, requires disclosure about the fair value of financial
              instruments. Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents,
              accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank overdraft, IBS loan
              payable, and line of credit. The estimated fair value of these
              financial instruments approximates their carrying value.

       (k)    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

              In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
              issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No.
              133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES.
              This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
              derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded
              in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as
              amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning
              after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a
              material impact on the Company's financial statements.

              The Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting
              Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL
              STATEMENTS, on December 3, 1999. This SAB provides additional
              guidance on the accounting for revenue recognition, including both
              broad conceptual discussions as well as certain industry-specific
              guidance. The guidance is effective for the second quarter 2000.
              The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a
              material impact on the Company's results of operations.

              In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44 ACCOUNTING
              FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING STOCK COMPENSATION, AND
              INTERPRETATION OF APB OPINION NO. 25. This interpretation
              clarifies the application of Opinion No. 25, among others issued,
              (a) the definition of employees for purposes of applying Opinion
              No. 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies
              as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequences of
              various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock
              option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock
              compensation awards in a business combination. The Interpretation
              is effective July 1, 2000 and the effects of applying the
              Interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis. The Company
              does not expect that the adoption of the Interpretation will have
              a material impact on its financial condition or results of
              operations.

(3)    INCOME TAXES

       The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
       ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. Under the liability method specified by SFAS
       No. 109, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the
       difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
       liabilities, as measured by enacted tax rates.


                                      F-8
<PAGE>

       As of December 31, 1999, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards
       available to offset future taxable income of approximately $530,000.
       These carryforwards expire through 2019 and are subject to review and
       possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service. The Tax Reform Act
       of 1986 contains provisions that may limit the amount of net operating
       loss and credit carryforwards that the Company may utilize in any one
       year in the event of certain cumulative changes in ownership over a
       three-year period in excess of 50%, as defined.

       The Company's deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1999 consists of the
       following:

                                                               AMOUNT

               Net operating loss carryforward            $       212,000
               Deferred revenue                                   476,000
               Nondeductible reserves and accruals                151,000
                                                          ---------------
                                                                  839,000

               Valuation allowance                               (839,000)

                                                          $             -
                                                          ===============

       Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the deferred tax
       assets, the Company has provided a full valuation against these amounts
       at December 31, 1999.

(4)    COMMITMENTS

       (a)    LEASES

              The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities and
              leases equipment accounted for as operating leases. Future minimum
              annual lease payments under these operating leases as of December
              31, 1999 are as follows:

                                                             OPERATING

               2001                                               324,000
               2002                                               308,000
               2003                                               281,000
               2004                                                94,000
                                                          ---------------

                                                          $     1,341,000
                                                          ===============

              Rent expense charged to operations in 1999 was approximately
              $309,000.

       (b)    LITIGATION

              The Company is currently involved in litigation with a former
              employee. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be determined
              at this time, the former employee has been offered a settlement.
              The accrual of $200,000 represents management's estimate of the
              legal and settlement costs to resolve this obligation.

(5)    CREDIT FACILITY

       On August 27, 1999, the Company entered into a $400,000 credit facility
       agreement with a bank that expires on August 31, 2000. The outstanding
       borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.5% at December 31,
       1999) plus 0.25% and is repayable in full upon expiration. As of December
       31, 1999, outstanding borrowings under this facility were $321,099. The
       credit facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company.

(6)    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       (a)    COMMON STOCK

              On July 31, 1999, the Company's sole stockholder resolved to
              increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, $0.01
              par value, from 1,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares.

              On February 4, 2000, the Company effected a 1,000-for-one stock
              split of its common stock. All share and per-share amounts
              presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock
              split.

       (b)    STOCK OPTION PLAN

              On January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the Knowledge Stream
              Partners, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) under which the
              Company has reserved 200,000 shares of common stock. Options
              granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options
              (ISOs) or nonstatutory stock options, at the discretion of the
              Board of Directors.

              ISO's may be granted to employees at an exercise price of at least
              100% of fair market value, unless that employee owns more than 10%
              of the voting power of all outstanding stock, in which case the
              exercise price will be not less than 110% of fair market value.
              Nonstatutory options may be granted to employees or nonemployees
              at an exercise price of not less than 85% of fair market value.

              Subject to the above conditions, the exercise price shall be
              determined by the Board of Directors.

              Each stock option agreement shall specify the date when the
              options become exercisable. In general, options become exercisable
              annually over three years.

              During 1999, the Company granted options to purchase a total of
              136,454 shares of stock at an exercise price of $1.06 per share.
              None of the options were outstanding and none were exercisable as
              of December 31, 1999.

              The Company has computed the pro forma disclosures required under
              SFAS No. 123 for options granted during 1999 using the
              Black-Scholes option pricing model prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The
              weighted average assumptions used were as follows:

                   Risk-free interest rate                     5.54%
                   Expected dividend yield                     -
                   Expected lives                              3 years
                   Expected volatility                         70%
                   Weighted average grant date fair value      $0.53
                   Weighted average remaining contractual
                   life of options outstanding                 9.3 years

              Had compensation expense for the Company's stock options been
              determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, net loss would have
              increased from $2,113,660 to $2,130,922 and net loss per share
              would have increased from $2.11 to $2.13 per share.

              The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in
              estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting
              restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option
              pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions,
              including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's
              employee stock options have characteristics significantly
              different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
              subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
              estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
              necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of
              its employee stock options.

(7)    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       (a)    INTERNATIONAL BANKERS SCHOOL (IBS)

              IBS is an entity owned and controlled by the Company's sole
              stockholder. During 1999, funds were transferred between the two
              entities with no effect on the statement of operations. At
              December 31, 1999, an amount of $287,517 was due to IBS.

       (b)    DUE FROM OFFICER

              The Company paid certain expenses on behalf of its stockholder,
              which will be reimbursed. At December 31, 1999, a balance of
              $216,649 was owed to the Company.

(8)    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

       In January 1997, the Company adopted the Geneve Consulting Group, Inc.
       Employees 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan). The 401(k) Plan covers all
       employees of the Company who have met certain requirements, as defined.
       Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, the employees may elect to make
       tax-deferred contributions, as defined. In addition, the Company may
       match employee contributions, as determined by the Board of Directors,
       and may make a discretionary contribution to the 401(k) Plan. No matching
       contributions or discretionary contributions were made in 1999.

(9)    SEGMENT AND ENTERPRISE-WIDE REPORTING

       The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN
       ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. SFAS No. 131 requires certain
       financial and supplementary information to be disclosed on an annual
       basis of each reportable segment of an enterprise. SFAS No. 131 also
       establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
       services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are
       defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discreet
       financial information


                                      F-11
<PAGE>

       is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding
       how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company operates as
       one reportable segment that operates entirely in the U.S. All revenues
       were generated in the U.S.

(b)     PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been
prepared to give the effect to the acquisition of Knowledge Stream Partners,
Inc. (KSP) by Exchange Applications, Inc. (Exchange)

On March 31, 2000, Exchange acquired all of the outstanding stock of KSP. Under
the terms of the agreement Exchange will issue shares of its common stock and
stock options to existing holders of KSP common stock and options. The value of
the Exchange common stock to be issued in the transaction, including shares
issuable under assumed options, is approximately $52 million, $17 million of
which will be held in escrow to cover certain indemnification obligations and
purchase-price adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet combines the audited balance
sheets of Exchange and KSP as of December 31, 1999 as if the acquisition had
occurred on December 31, 1999.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations combines the
historical statements of operations of Exchange and KSP for the year ended
December 31, 1999 as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of that
period.

Such unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations that would have actually been reported had the
acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future financial position or results of operations.
These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based upon the
respective historical financial statements of Exchange and KSP and should be
read in conjunction with the respective historical financial statements and
notes thereto of Exchange, which have been incorporated by reference in this
document, and KSP, which have been included elsewhere in this document. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not incorporate, nor do
they assume, any benefits from cost savings or synergies of operations of the
enlarged group.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the
         issuance of 821,776 shares of Exchange common stock in exchange for all
         of the outstanding shares of common stock of KSP (outstanding as of
         March 31, 2000) in connection with the merger. This acquisition has
         been accounted for as a purchase. The allocation of the purchase price
         is based on an estimate of the fair market value of the net assets
         acquired and is subject to adjustment, pending final determination of
         certain acquired balances. The preliminary allocation has resulted in
         acquired goodwill of approximately $42,185,000, which is being
         amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.
(2)      The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not
         include adjustments to conform the accounting policies of KSP to those
         followed by Exchange. The nature and extent of such adjustments, if
         any, will be based upon further analysis and are not expected to be
         material.
(3)      The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet reflects the
         elimination of all intercompany balances between Exchange and KSP.
(4)      The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet includes an
         adjustment to remove deferred revenue totaling $1,191,000 from the net
         assets of KSP as such amounts will not be recognizable by Exchange
         after the acquisition.
(5)      The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations includes
         an adjustment to record amortization expense of the acquired goodwill
         and assumes an effective tax rate of 67%, consistent with the effective
         tax rate of Exchange for the year ended December 31, 1999.
(6)      The pro forma consolidated net loss per share is based on the combined
         weighted average number of common shares of Exchange common stock and
         KSP common stock for the period. This is based on the exchange ratio of
         0.82177608 shares of Exchange common stock for each share of KSP common
         stock as described in the merger agreement. Common equivalent shares
         have been excluded, as their effect would be antidilutive.
