11
<PAGE>

Requirement or any Order to which any Acquired Company or either Seller, or any
of the assets owned or used by any Acquired Company, may be subject;
(iii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any of the terms or
requirements of, or give any Governmental Body the right to revoke, withdraw,
suspend, cancel, terminate, or modify, any Governmental Authorization that is
held by any Acquired Company or that otherwise relates to the business of, or
any of the assets owned or used by, any Acquired Company;

certificates representing the Rule 144 Stock and the Registered Stock shall bear

notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party
will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section,
give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the
failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party
of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent
that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is
prejudiced by the indemnifying party's failure to give such notice.
(b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 10.9(a) is brought against an
indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the
commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim

counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in
each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in
49
<PAGE>
connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of
investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding,
(i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the
claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to
indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected
by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent unless (A)
there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any
violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may
be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is
monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the
indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or
settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an
indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying
party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party's notice is given,
give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of
such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made
in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified
party.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good
faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely
affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which
it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified
party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to
defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will
not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise
or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably
withheld).
(d) Sellers hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in
which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any
claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to
such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be
served on Sellers with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Note 1 - Summary of Accounting Policies
cyberTours Inc. (Company) provides retail and wholesale Internet access,
telecommunications services, value added resales, and custom software. The
Company is incorporated in the State of Maine with headquarters in Kennebunk,
Maine. The Company maintains multiple manned and unmanned points of presence and
is expanding regionally throughout New England.
The accounting policies used by the Company conform to generally accepted
accounting principles. Significant policies are described below:
Cash - For balance sheet and cash flows purposes, cash and cash equivalents
include money market accounts and highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less. At June 30, 1999, the Company had
deposits at several banks of $241,905, of which $134,445 exceeded FDIC
insurance coverage.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments which potentially
expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105, consist primarily of trade
accounts receivable. The Company's customer base includes individuals,
businesses, non-profit organizations, and local governments primarily located
throughout Maine. Management does not believe that significant credit risk
exists at June 30, 1999.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are principally generated from the provision
of Internet access, Web site hosting and other related data services. These
revenues are recognized at the time services are provided. Service plans
range from one month to one year. Advance collections relating to future
access services are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue
when earned. Revenues related to non-recurring installation and activation
fees are recorded when the services are provided. These fees are a result of
the one-time events related to the set-up of a new customer service. In
certain situations the Company waives non-recurring installation and
activation fees. The Company expenses the related direct costs of
installation and activation as incurred.
Depreciation - Depreciation for financial reporting and income tax purposes
is computed using the declining balance and straight-line methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
Amortization - Organization costs, customer lists and financing costs are
being amortized using the straight line method from three to fifteen years
for both for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes.
Deferred Taxes on Income - Deferred taxes on income relate to net operating
loss carryovers and the Company's differences in calculating depreciation and
amortization and in amortizing or expensing commissions paid to resellers for
income tax and financial reporting purposes.
Use of Estimates - Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing
financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses.
Inventory - Inventory consists of electronic equipment which was held for
resale at June 30, 1999 and is valued at the lower of cost or market using
the first in, first out method (FIFO).
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major
improvements are included in property accounts while maintenance and repairs
which do not improve or extend the life of the assets are expensed currently.

To the Stockholders
cyberTours Inc.
Kennebunk, Maine
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of cyberTours Inc. as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of operations and
retained earnings (accumulated deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of cyberTours Inc.'s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide 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 cyberTours Inc. as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
Note 1 - Summary of Accounting Policies
cyberTours Inc. (Company) provides retail and wholesale Internet access,
telecommunications services, value added resales, and custom software. The
Company is incorporated in the State of Maine with headquarters in Kennebunk,
Maine. The Company, which operates in one reportable segment, maintains multiple
manned and unmanned points of presence and is expanding regionally throughout
New England.
The accounting policies used by the Company conform to generally accepted
accounting principles. Significant policies are described below:
Business Combination - The merger with a subsidiary, cyberTours L.A., Inc.,
has been accounted for as a pooling of interests under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 16. Accordingly, prior period consolidated financial
statements have been restated to include the combined results of operations,
financial position and cash flows of the subsidiary as though it has always
been a part of cyberTours Inc.
Cash Equivalents - For balance sheet and cash flows purposes, cash and cash
equivalents include money market accounts and highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments which potentially
expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105, consist primarily of trade
accounts receivable. The Company's customer base includes individuals,
businesses, non-profit organizations, and local governments primarily located
throughout Maine. Management does not believe that significant credit risk
exists at December 31, 1998 and 1997.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are principally generated from the provision
of Internet access, Web site hosting and other related data services. These
revenues are recognized at the time services are provided. Service plans
range from one month to one year. Advance collections relating to future
access services are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue
when earned. Revenues related to non-recurring installation and activation
fees are recorded when the services are provided. These fees are a result of
the one-time events related to the set-up of a new customer service. In
certain situations the Company waives non-recurring installation and
activation fees. The Company expenses the related direct costs of
installation and activation as incurred.
Depreciation - Depreciation for financial reporting and income tax purposes
is computed using the declining balance and straight-line methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense for 1998 and 1997
was $205,646 and $106,466, respectively.
Amortization - Organization costs, customer lists, software licenses and
financing costs are being amortized using the straight line method for
financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes from three to
fifteen years.
Deferred Taxes on Income - Deferred taxes on income relate to net operating
loss carryovers and the Company's differences in calculating depreciation and
amortization and in amortizing or expensing commissions paid to resellers for
income tax and financial reporting purposes.
Use of Estimates - Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing
financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses.
