NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results for the interim periods presented
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any
future period. The following information should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in EarthWeb's annual report for
the year ended December 31, 1998.
2. 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 amounts reported in the condensed consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.
3. Business Combinations
In February 1999, EarthWeb Inc. (EarthWeb or the Company) acquired D&L
Online, Inc. (D&L Online) for a total base purchase price of approximately $35
million in the form of cash and common stock with additional consideration of
up to $12.0 million to be based on future performance. In March 1999, EarthWeb
acquired MicroHouse International (MicroHouse) for approximately $9 million in
the form of cash, common stock and a convertible note payable. In addition
EarthWeb assumed $1.7 million in debt as part of the acquisition. The following
unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated results of operations for the
Company as if the acquisitions of D&L Online and MicroHouse had been
consummated on January 1, 1998. The unaudited pro forma information does not
necessarily reflect the results that would have been achieved, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of the Company.

which does not assume the utilization of EarthWeb's net operating loss
carryforwards, (iii) adjustment to record compensation expense related to
options issued to MicroHouse employees to purchase common stock at an exercise
price below the fair market value of the EarthWeb common stock at the date of
grant, (iv) adjustment to reflect the accretion of the discount on the
convertible note issued in the connection with the acquisition of MicroHouse,
and (v) adjustment of the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding

4. Sale of Common Stock
On May 7, 1999, the Company completed a secondary public offering of
1,300,000 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $37.00 per share, of
which 750,000 shares were sold by the Company and 550,000 shares were sold by
selling stockholders. Proceeds to the Company, net of issuance costs, were
approximately $25.4 million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds for
general corporate purposes, including expansion of sales and marketing
capabilities, possible strategic acquisitions or investments, international
expansions, technical upgrades of internal systems and working capital
requirements.
5. Subsequent Events
In July 1999, EarthWeb acquired the website SysOpt.com, an online service
which provides information on computer hardware products. In August 1999,
EarthWeb acquired the website Codeguru.com, an online service for Windows
programmers. The aggregate base purchase price for both was approximately $12.0
million, payable in the form of common stock, cash and a convertible note
payable. Additional consideration in the form of cash or stock, with an
aggregate value of up to approximately $6 million may be required to be paid if
certain contingencies are met. Such amounts would be payable through 2002.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of EarthWeb should be read in conjunction with the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and
the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1998. This quarterly
report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward- looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements and risk factors included in this document are made as of the date
hereof, based on information available to EarthWeb as of the date thereof, and
EarthWeb assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or risk
factors.
Results of Operations
Revenues. Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 were
$7.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively versus $666,000 and $974,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1998. The increases in revenues were
primarily due to growth in advertising revenues, attributable to the
acquisition of D&L Online and increases in the volume of advertising sold
resulting from increases in the number of advertising customers. The net impact
on advertising revenues from the acquisition of D&L Online for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999 was an increase of approximately $3.6 million
and $5.5 million, respectively. Advertising revenues including paid listings,
banners and sponsorships represented 86% and 88% of total revenues for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 96% and 95% of total
revenues in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998. For the quarter
ended June 30, 1999, no advertiser accounted for more than 10% of revenues
while three customers accounted for approximately 32% of revenues for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998. Barter transactions accounted for approximately
11% of revenues for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 25%
of revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively.
For both periods, barter advertising revenues primarily related to the exchange
of advertisements, tradeshow booths, and other promotional activities with
other companies.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of employee salaries
and related expenses (including payroll taxes and benefits), consulting fees,
freelance writing costs, royalties, Internet access and hosting fees, computer
systems related expenses and content licensing fees required to support and
deliver EarthWeb's online services. Cost of revenues for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 were
7
<PAGE>
$2.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, representing 36 % and 37% of total
revenues as compared to $398,000 and $793,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, which represented 60% and 81% of total revenues. The
absolute dollar increase in cost of revenues was primarily attributable to
increased employee salaries and related expenses, consulting fees, freelance
writing costs, and royalties due to the expansion of EarthWeb's online service
offerings of which approximately $925,000 and $1.2 million related to the
expenses of D&L Online and MicroHouse for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999. Management expects cost of revenues to increase in absolute dollars
in future periods due to the growth of EarthWeb's business.
Product Development Expenses. Product development expenses consist primarily
of employee salaries and related expenses (including payroll taxes and
benefits), consulting fees and computer systems related expenses required to
support the development of new service offerings. Product development expenses
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 were $879,000 and $1.6
million, respectively, representing 12% and 15% of total revenues as compared
to $310,000 and $556,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
which represented 47% and 57% of total revenues. The increase in product
development expenses was primarily attributable to the expansion of EarthWeb's
online service offerings.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily
of advertising (including expenses recorded for barter transactions), employee
salaries, commissions and related expenses (including payroll taxes and
benefits) of EarthWeb's sales force and marketing personnel, promotional
materials and trade show exhibition expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 were $6.7 million and
$11.9 million, respectively, representing 93% and 109% of total revenues as
compared to $477,000 and $810,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998, which represented 72% and 83% of total revenues. The increases in the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, were primarily attributable to
increases in advertising expenses of approximately $3.1 million and $6.2
million, respectively, of which approximately $828,000 and $1.7 million related
to the expenses of D&L Online and MicroHouse. Additionally, salaries,
commissions and related costs increased approximately $1.7 million and $3.0
million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, due
to the expansion of the sales force of which $721,000 and $1.1 million related
to the expenses of D&L Online and MicroHouse. Management expects sales and
marketing expenses to increase due to the continuing growth of its sales force
and its planned increase in advertising and promotional activities.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses (including payroll
taxes and benefits) for executive, administrative, and accounting personnel,
facility costs, recruiting fees, insurance costs and professional fees. General
and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999
were $3.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, representing 41% and 42% of
total revenues as compared to $726,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, which represented 109% and 137% of total revenues.
The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable
to increased employee salaries and related expenses (including payroll taxes
and benefits), facility costs, recruiting fees and professional fees. Included
in general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 1999, EarthWeb
recorded a one-time charge of approximately $672,000, including a $500,000 non-
cash charge related to the April 1999 grant of stock options to MicroHouse
employees and the May 1999 public offering, in which EarthWeb agreed to pay
certain underwriting discounts incurred in connection with the sale of shares
by certain employee selling shareholders. Management expects general and
administrative expenses to increase in future periods due to the growth of
EarthWeb's business.
Depreciation. Depreciation consists primarily of depreciation of property
and equipment. Depreciation for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999
was $365,000 and $611,000, respectively, representing 5% and 6% of total
revenues as compared to $174,000 and $349,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, which represented 26% and 36% of total revenues. The
increase was primarily a result of additional depreciation due to purchases of
fixed assets. Management expects depreciation to increase in future periods due
to the growth of EarthWeb's business.
8
<PAGE>
Amortization. Amortization consists primarily of amortization of intangible
assets related to acquisitions. Amortization for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 were $2.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, both
representing 41% of total revenues as compared to $70,000 and $128,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998, which represented 11% and 13% of
total revenues. The increases in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999
were primarily a result of the amortization of intangible assets recorded upon
the acquisitions of D&L Online and MicroHouse of approximately $2.7 million and
$4.1 million.
Interest and Other Income, Net. Interest and other income, net consists
primarily of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. Interest and other
income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 were $159,000 and
$393,000, respectively, representing 2% and 4% of total revenues as compared to
$31,000 and $78,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, which
represented 5% and 8% of total revenues. The increase was primarily the result
of higher average cash balances during 1999, primarily from the proceeds of
EarthWeb's public offerings in November of 1998 and May of 1999.
Income Taxes. No provision for federal and state income taxes has been
recorded as EarthWeb has incurred net operating losses through June 30, 1999.
Given EarthWeb's limited operating history, losses incurred to date and the
difficulty in accurately forecasting EarthWeb's future results, management does
not believe that the realization of the related deferred income tax assets
meets the criteria required by generally accepted accounting principles and,
accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
EarthWeb historically has satisfied its cash requirements primarily through
offerings of common stock and convertible preferred stock and lease financing.
Net cash used in operating activities was $6.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Cash used in operating activities for 1999 resulted primarily from a net loss
of $16.0 million offset by amortization of $4.5 million and increases in
accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $3.7
million. Cash used in operating activities in 1998 was primarily attributable
to a net loss of $2.9 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999
of $7.5 million was primarily attributable to acquisitions of $5.8 million and
purchases of fixed assets. Net cash used in investing activities of $601,000
for 1998 was primarily attributable to cash used for acquisitions and the
purchase of fixed assets.
Net cash from financing activities was $25.0 million and $3.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. On May 7, 1999, the
Company completed a secondary public offering of 1,300,000 shares of Common
Stock at an offering price of $37.00 per share, of which 750,000 shares were
sold by the Company and 550,000 shares were sold by selling stockholders.
Proceeds to the Company, net of issuance costs, were approximately $25.4
million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds for general corporate
purposes, including expansion of sales and marketing capabilities, possible
strategic acquisitions or investments, international expansion, technical
upgrades of internal systems and working capital requirements. In June 1998,
EarthWeb issued 436,446 shares of common stock to EarthWeb LLC through a
private placement, in consideration of net proceeds of $3.7 million of which
$3.1 million was received in June and the balance received in July 1998.
EarthWeb will continue to evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments
in, business products and technologies that are complementary to those of
EarthWeb, which may require the use of cash. Management believes that existing
cash balances, will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for at
least the next twelve months; however, EarthWeb may sell additional equity or
debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The sale of additional securities
could result in dilution to EarthWeb's stockholders.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
EarthWeb is not a party to any material legal proceedings.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
On May 7, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-75771). Pursuant
to this Registration Statement, the Company completed a secondary public
offering of 1,300,000 shares of its Common Stock at a secondary public offering
price of $37.00 per share (the "Offering"). The Offering was managed by JP
Morgan & Co., Bear Stearns & Co. Inc., Volpe Brown Whelan & Company and Wit
Capital Corporation. Proceeds to the Company, net of offering costs, from the
offering totaled approximately $24.8 million. In connection with the sale of
shares by certain employee selling stockholders, EarthWeb agreed to pay
approximately $172,000 of underwriting discounts (and income taxes incurred in
connection with such reimbursements). The Company expects to use the net
proceeds for general corporate purposes, including expansion of sales and
marketing capabilities, possible strategic acquisitions or investments,
international expansions, technical upgrades of internal systems and working
capital requirements.
On July 16, 1999, the Registrant completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets, properties and rights in the business of SysOpt.com for
aggregate consideration, including a convertible promissory note in the
original principal amount of $875,000 which is convertible into approximately
19,200 shares of common stock on July 17, 2000. The issuance of these
securities was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regarding transactions by an issuer not
involving a public offering.
On August 9, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-84307). Pursuant
to this Registration Statement, the Company established a shelf registration
for 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock of which 527,510 shares of common
stock registered under this registration statement were already issued and
outstanding in connection with the acquisition of D&L Online, 22,182 shares of
common stock registered under this registration statement were already issued
and outstanding in connection with acquisition of MicroHouse and 238,263 shares
covered by this shelf registration statement were issued to Zafir Anjum in
connection with the Company's acquisition of substantially all of the assets,
properties and rights of the business of the Codeguru web sites on August 11,
1999. An additional 46,251 shares of common stock were issued to Zafir Anjum in
connection with the acquisition of Codeguru, which shares were exempt from the
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, regarding transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
212,045 shares of common stock covered by this shelf registration statement
have not been issued as of August 12, 1999, and may be offered and issued from
time to time in connection with acquisitions of other businesses.
