SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information from this prospectus
and may not contain all the information that is important to you. To understand
our business and this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus
carefully, including the financial statements and the related notes beginning on
page F-1. Unless otherwise indicated, statistical and other data about our
company is as of December 31, 1999.
ONEMAIN.COM, INC.
OUR BUSINESS
We provide Internet access and related services to individuals and
businesses located predominantly in smaller metropolitan markets and rural
communities throughout the United States. We believe individuals and businesses
in these markets value local content and service and have traditionally been
under-served by other national on-line service providers. We believe this lack
of service creates an opportunity for us to meet their growing demand for
Internet access and services. We emphasize creating an integrated relationship
with our subscribers by maintaining a strong local presence in all of our
markets. We intend to strengthen this relationship by launching our geographic
communities, which are a series of localized content sites, and by enhancing
customer service through our planned regional call centers. Based on information
published by ISP Report in its November/December 1999 issue, we are one of the
ten largest independent Internet service providers in the United States based on
number of subscribers. As of December 31, 1999, we served approximately 700,000
subscribers in 31 states.
As part of strengthening our relationship with our subscribers, we are
creating on-line geographic communities in each of our markets to enhance the
on-line experience of our subscribers and to generate additional revenue. Each
geographic community will be specific to a locale and will serve as a portal
offering local, customized content, community message boards and chat rooms,
Internet telephony, Web-based calendars and e-commerce, among other services. We
seek to aggregate local content through revenue-sharing alliances and
partnerships with different providers, such as the Bakersfield Californian
newspaper which will provide our Bakersfield, California subscribers with local
news and information. In addition, we recently signed agreements with several
national providers, including eCal, MyWay.com, Net2Phone, Mail.com, theglobe.com
and GoTo.com, to supplement our local content and bring universal content and
functionality to our geographic communities. We expect to launch our first
geographic community in February 2000 and expect to launch geographic
communities in the remainder of our current markets over the 12 to 18 months
following the date of this prospectus.
Our Internet access services include dial-up service, high-speed ISDN
dial-up and dedicated service, fractional and full T1 Internet service, digital
subscriber lines and cable modem services. Along with Internet access, we
provide our subscribers with Internet applications such as electronic mail,
browsing the World Wide Web, Internet relay chat, file transfer protocol and
Usenet news group services. We also offer Web hosting and design services for
consumers, businesses and other organizations.
We serve our existing subscribers and intend to attract new subscribers
through our 40 local storefronts, as of December 31, 1999, staffed with local
sales and service personnel which allow subscribers to stop in and, among other
things, sign up for our Internet access in person. We also target our
advertising and marketing initiatives on a local level, by, among other things,
sponsoring local events and sports teams. In addition, we intend to launch a
national advertising campaign that highlights our local market strategy.
We conduct our operations through four regional operating groups. We are in
the process of integrating our operations at the operating group level to
simplify and standardize our products, services and operating procedures and to
brand the OneMain.com--your hometown internet name. The integration of our
operations should also result in the elimination of redundant network costs and
the consolidation of several operating functions, including network, back office
and call centers. We believe that once we complete the integration of our
operations, we will be able to offer more reliable, user-friendly Internet
access to our subscribers and improved customer service, while reducing network,
Internet connectivity, personnel overhead and corporate administrative costs. We
expect to integrate all of our current subscribers and operations over the 12 to
18 months following the date of this prospectus.
On a combined basis, our pro forma total revenue was $103 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. In addition, from our initial public
offering at the end of March 1999, we have grown the number of our subscribers
from approximately 370,000 to approximately 700,000 as of December 31, 1999,
representing an increase of 89%. On a combined basis, our pro forma net loss was
$91 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Pro forma EBITDA on a
combined basis was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
EBITDA represents earnings or losses before interest, taxes,
1
<PAGE>
depreciation and amortization. We have included EBITDA because it is a measure
commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis of
operating performance. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance
under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as a
substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss) or cash flows from
operating activities for purposes of analyzing our operating performance,
financial position or cash flows. Not all companies define EBITDA in the same
way, and our EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to EBITDA reported by other
companies.
OUR MARKET OPPORTUNITY
The 25 largest metropolitan areas in the United States comprise only 50% of
the U.S. population, leaving approximately 135 million individuals in hundreds
of smaller markets as potential subscribers. The Internet penetration rate of
these smaller markets is also less than that of larger metropolitan areas. As of
October 1999, approximately 62 million people, or 23% of the U.S. population,
were within our market coverage. We believe that the local content to be
provided by our geographic communities, our managerial talent, technological
competence and localized sales and marketing skills provide us with what we
believe are significant competitive advantages. In addition, many of the
national on-line service providers with whom we currently compete provide access
in our markets only through long-distance calls, which make access more
expensive for subscribers. All of our networks are accessible to our subscribers
through a local telephone call.
According to International Data Corporation, total United States Internet
service provider revenues are projected to grow from approximately $10.7 billion
in 1998 to approximately $37.4 billion in 2003. In addition, International Data
Corporation estimates that the number of users in the United States accessing
the World Wide Web will increase from approximately 63 million at the end of
1998 to approximately 175 million in 2003.
OUR STRATEGY
We intend to enhance the value of our company by continuing to grow our
subscriber base and then leveraging our subscriber base to increase revenues and
reduce costs. The following are the key elements of our strategy:
MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. We believe our subscribers
are satisfied with our service as evidenced by our average monthly churn rates
of 2.7%, 2.3%, 2.1% and 2.3% for each of the four quarters of 1999. We define
churn rate as those subscribers who cancel, are terminated or fail to renew
minus reactivated subscribers divided by the average number of subscribers for
the quarter. Average monthly churn rate is calculated as the quarter's churn
rate divided by three. We intend to maintain and grow our subscriber base by
continuing to provide easy-to-use Internet access and local and national
marketing initiatives, as well as by pursuing the following strategies:
CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON LOCAL PRESENCE. We believe that having a
strong local presence in our markets helps us create an integrated
relationship with our subscribers and is a key factor in our high
subscriber retention rates and strong word-of-mouth referrals. We
maintain our local presence by operating storefronts staffed with
local sales and service personnel and by targeting our advertising
and marketing campaign on a local level. By creating geographic
communities to provide local content and community functionality, we
believe that we can offer value-added services to our subscribers
which will result in frequent and extended traffic and incremental
revenue.
PROVIDE SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. We believe
superior customer service is critical to our ability to retain
existing subscribers and attract new subscribers. As part of our
integration process, we intend to provide 24 hours a day, seven days
a week customer service through the regional call centers we are
currently building. To maintain the local, personalized nature of
our customer service, we also intend to employ local customer
service representatives who will be trained to respond to referrals
from the regional call centers. Our strategy of creating a
partnership between local service teams and regional call centers
should enable us to capture economies of scale, improve quality and
responsiveness and increase productivity, while allowing local
personnel to focus on relationships with subscribers.
INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. We intend to capitalize on
opportunities to sell more profitable, value-added products and
services to our existing subscribers and to pursue opportunities to
open new markets through additional products and services such as
wireless and broadband services, Web hosting and Web site design and
e-commerce applications. We also intend to learn about our
subscribers' usage habits to enable us to market new and current
products and services to subscribers who exhibit characteristics
which indicate a demand for these products and services. We
2
<PAGE>
believe that by providing value-added products and services we can
enhance our subscribers' on-line experience and maintain our high
subscriber retention rate, while increasing revenues.
GENERATE NON-ACCESS REVENUE. We anticipate our geographic communities will
generate non-access revenue. Through our co-branding agreements with local and
national partners, we expect to receive advertising and e-commerce revenue based
on page impressions, purchases and subscriber activities.
IMPLEMENT BROADBAND STRATEGY. We currently provide broadband access to
both individuals and businesses using a variety of vendors and technologies. We
intend to continue expanding our use of multiple broadband vendors and
technologies throughout our markets.
REALIZE BENEFITS OF SCALE. We intend to take advantage of our national
scale to increase our network and bandwidth purchasing power and consolidate
business functions, thereby reducing our costs. We expect to leverage our
growing subscriber base and combined user traffic to obtain incremental revenues
through strategic relationships with sponsors, third-party vendors, Internet
portals and content providers.
INCREASE FOCUS ON BUSINESS CUSTOMERS. We believe that one of the most
rapid areas of growth in our revenues will be in business sales and service. We
created a dedicated business sales and service division to focus on the data and
networking needs of small to medium-sized businesses in our markets. We intend
to compete in this area with other national providers through a local presence
and by providing high quality customer service and competitive products.
CONTINUE TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS. We also intend
to continue to grow our subscriber base by acquiring additional Internet service
providers and subscribers within existing and contiguous markets to increase our
density in these markets and by acquiring independent Internet service providers
and subscribers in targeted new markets to increase our scale and geographic
scope. As of January 1, 2000, there were over 8,300 Internet service providers
in the United States, according to internet.com. The vast majority of Internet
service providers are small local operations each with fewer than 10,000
subscribers that we believe do not have the resources to maintain a high level
of customer service and technical support.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Since our initial public offering at the end of March 1999, we have
increased our subscribers from 370,000 to approximately 700,000, an increase of
89%. We have acquired approximately 190,000 subscribers through nine
acquisitions of smaller independent Internet service providers and other
subscriber acquisitions, and added approximately 140,000 net subscribers through
internal growth. In addition, we are currently negotiating or have entered into
non-binding letters of intent for one acquisition of a smaller independent
Internet service provider and one other subscriber acquisition, serving five
states with over 13,000 subscribers for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $7 million. We can make no assurance we will consummate either of
these potential acquisitions.
We have entered into co-branding agreements with several local and national
providers to bring additional content and functionality to our soon-to-be
launched geographic communities. These providers include:
o Bakersfield Californian, a provider of Bakersfield, California news and
information;
o eCal, a provider of Web-based calendaring and time management
applications;
o MyWay.com, a provider of basic daily content;
o Net2Phone, a provider of Internet telephony services;
o Mail.com, a provider of e-mail services;
o theglobe.com, a provider of message boards, group e-mail lists and
homepage builder functionality; and
o GoTo.com, an Internet search engine.

SUMMARY PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
OneMain.com was formed in August 1998 and began operations upon the
completion of its initial public offering and simultaneous acquisitions of 17
Internet service providers on March 30, 1999. Subsequent to the IPO, we acquired
nine Internet service providers. The summary pro forma combined financial data
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 give effect to OneMain.com's consolidated historical results, the 17
Internet service providers acquired simultaneously with the closing of our IPO,
and all subsequent completed acquisitions. The pro forma combined balance sheet
data give effect to OneMain.com's historical balance sheet as of September 30,
1999 and four acquisitions consummated after September 30, 1999 as if they
occurred on September 30, 1999. The pro forma combined statements of operations
and cash flow data for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 assume that all completed acquisitions were consummated
on January 1, 1998.
The summary pro forma financial data do not necessarily indicate the
operating results, cash flows or financial position which would have resulted
from OneMain.com's operations on a combined basis during the period presented,
nor do these pro forma data necessarily represent any future operating results,
cash flows or financial position. In addition to these summary financial data,
you should also refer to the more complete historical financial statements and
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and accompanying notes
included elsewhere in this prospectus.

31, 1998 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. We have included
EBITDA in these data because it is a measure commonly used by investors to
analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. EBITDA
is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted
accounting principles and should not be construed as a substitute for
operating income (loss), net income (loss) or cash flows from operating
activities for purposes of analyzing our operating performance, financial
position or cash flows. Not all companies define EBITDA in the same way, and
our EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to EBITDA reported by other
companies.

RISK FACTORS
You should consider carefully the following risks before you accept our
common stock as all or part of the purchase price for our acquisition of your
business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial
condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In addition, the trading
price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your
investment in our common stock.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES, AND WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, we had losses of $25.4 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, we had losses of $48.5 million. If
we are unable to increase our revenues and margins to cover our costs and
expenditures, we will continue to experience losses, which could adversely
affect our future results of operations, financial condition and potential
profitability.
WE COMPETE WITH OTHER INTERNET ACCESS PROVIDERS, WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO LOWER
PRICES RESULTING IN REDUCED REVENUES.
We face a competitive environment in the market for Internet access and
related services. Specifically, we face competition from more businesses as
economies of scale reduce costs and more businesses move away from access fees
to service fees for advertising, e-commerce and other businesses. Either of
these trends could result in a decrease in our access fee revenue. Current and
prospective competitors include:
o other national, regional and local Internet service providers, including
those who provide free access;
o long-distance and local telecommunications companies;
o cable television companies offering high speed Internet access via cable
modem, either directly or through alliances with Internet access
providers;
o direct broadcast satellite companies; and
o wireless communications providers.
As a result of an increase in the number of competitors, and vertical and
horizontal integration in the industry, we currently face and expect to continue
to face significant competition, including pressure to reduce prices. Many of
our competitors have greater market presence, brand recognition and financial,
technical and personnel resources than we do, including, in some instances, a
large, existing commercial subscriber base. Telecommunications providers also
may have the ability to bundle Internet access with basic local and
long-distance telecommunications services. This bundling of services may make it
difficult for us to compete effectively with telecommunications providers and
may cause us to lower our prices, which will result in reduced revenues. Other
alternative service companies are approaching the Internet access market with
various newer wireless terrestrial- and satellite-based service technologies.
All of these competitive factors may result in reduced revenues.
SOME RECENTLY ANNOUNCED ALLIANCES BETWEEN RETAIL CHAINS AND NATIONAL INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND MERGERS BETWEEN NATIONAL INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS AND
MEDIA COMPANIES, COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS.
A number of national Internet service providers have recently entered into
alliances with traditional chain retailers under which the retailer will feature
its allied Internet service provider in its stores. Examples include recently
announced alliances between America Online and Wal-mart, America Online and Best
Buy, and Microsoft Network and Kmart. These alliances may prove to have a
significant negative impact on our business since these retail chains provide a
ready-made distribution channel into our targeted smaller metropolitan markets
and rural communities. In addition, the recently announced merger between
America Online and Time Warner, Inc. will provide America Online with
substantial content for its site and broadband access, which could have a
significant negative impact on our business.
6
<PAGE>
OUR LACK OF COMBINED OPERATING HISTORY AND OUR UNTESTED BUSINESS MODEL MAY
RESULT IN CONTINUED LOSSES.
We may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Our business model
has not yet been tested in our industry, and the success of this business model
depends on our ability to build on the strengths of our Internet service
providers and to centralize many of our business functions. It may take us
longer than anticipated to implement our business model, and some components of
our model may not prove to be feasible or desirable to existing or potential
subscribers. As a result, our business may not produce the level of
profitability we hope to achieve.
FAILURE TO INTEGRATE OUR ACQUISITIONS SUCCESSFULLY COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT
OPERATING INEFFICIENCIES WHICH COULD RESULT IN CONTINUED LOSSES.
Our success as a national Internet service provider will depend in large
part on our ability to integrate the operations, management, networks and
applications of our 25 independent Internet service providers and others we may
acquire in the future. Failure to integrate our Internet service providers
successfully may disrupt our ability to provide Internet access to our
subscribers, could result in a loss of subscribers' data and could result in
significant operating inefficiencies, which may result in a loss of subscribers
and related revenues. We will have to expend substantial managerial, operating,
technological, financial and other resources to integrate these businesses and
implement our business model. In particular, to integrate our Internet service
providers successfully, we must:
o install and standardize adequate operational and control systems;
o deploy equipment and telecommunications facilities and technology;
o integrate our service providers into a common network;
o implement new marketing efforts in new, as well as existing, locations;
o employ qualified personnel to provide technical and marketing support for
our various operating sites; and
o continue to expand our managerial, operational, technical and financial
resources.
CREATING A NATIONAL BRAND MAY UNDERMINE OUR LOCAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR
SUBSCRIBERS, WHICH MAY CAUSE US TO LOSE SUBSCRIBERS AND RESULT IN DECREASED
REVENUES.
In integrating our individual Internet service providers under a national
brand and into a common network, we may lose some subscribers who prefer our
local identity. In addition, our transition to a national brand may create
confusion among potential subscribers in our local markets which could result in
potential subscribers selecting a different Internet service provider. If we
were to lose a substantial number of existing subscribers or fail to attract new
subscribers, our revenues would decrease.
FAILURE OF OUR GEOGRAPHIC COMMUNITIES TO HOLD SUBSCRIBERS' INTEREST AND BECOME
AN ON-LINE RESOURCE MAY UNDERMINE OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY IN OUR
INDUSTRY.
A significant part of our growth strategy depends on our geographic
communities generating non-access revenues. The inability of the geographic
communities to generate frequent and extended traffic may undermine our ability
to differentiate ourselves from other Internet service providers, build brand
loyalty and compete effectively in our industry.
IF WE CANNOT ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR OUR ACQUISITION
ACTIVITIES ARE DELAYED, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.
Our business strategy depends, in part, upon our ability to expand into new
markets and broaden the services we provide by identifying and acquiring
additional Internet service providers. In pursuing acquisitions, we compete
against other Internet service providers, some of which are larger than we are
and have greater financial and other resources than we have. We compete for
potential acquisitions based on a number of factors, including price, terms and
conditions, size and growth potential, and ability to offer cash, stock or other
forms of consideration. Because we intend to offer a combination of cash and
stock to potential sellers of Internet service providers, declines in our stock
price due to market or other factors would negatively impact our ability to
pursue our acquisition strategy. Additionally, we may be unable to obtain
financing on favorable terms, or at all, to pay the cash portion of our
acquisitions. To the extent we issue
7
<PAGE>
stock for our acquisitions or to raise capital, your interest in OneMain.com may
be diluted. If we incur debt to finance our acquisitions, we will have to comply
with covenants and financial ratios that could limit our flexibility in
operating our business.
In addition, significant acquisitions could require preparation, filing and
SEC review of amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part. These regulatory requirements could adversely affect the pace of our
acquisition activity and limit our flexibility in growing and operating our
business.
INVESTORS CANNOT EVALUATE THE MERITS OF OUR ACQUISITIONS.
Because in most cases we do not seek, and are not required to seek,
stockholder approval of acquisitions, investors will have no basis on which to
evaluate the possible merits or risks of any future acquisitions, or of
acquisitions that we may be pursuing simultaneously. We cannot guarantee that we
will be able to discover all of the risks of every acquisition, or that every
acquisition will be beneficial to our financial condition.
IF WE FAIL TO USE EXISTING AND NEW TECHNOLOGY PROPERLY, WE MAY FALL BEHIND
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS AND EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND LOSE SUBSCRIBERS TO OUR
COMPETITORS, RESULTING IN REDUCED REVENUES.
We may not be able to retain our existing subscribers or attract new ones
if we fail to:
o use new technologies effectively;
o continue to develop our technical expertise;
o enhance our existing services; or
o develop new services to meet changing subscriber needs on a timely and
cost-effective basis.
Our ability to compete successfully also depends upon the continued
compatibility of our services with products and architectures offered by various
vendors. Although we intend to support emerging standards in the market for
Internet access, industry standards may not be established or, if they become
established, we may not be able to conform to these new standards in a timely
fashion and maintain a competitive position in the market. For example,
broadband and wireless technologies allow much faster Internet access than
dial-up access which currently makes up substantially all of our Internet
access. In addition, services or technologies developed by others may render our
services or technology noncompetitive or obsolete. Any failure on our part to
use technology properly could reduce our revenues.
WE MAY ACQUIRE CONTINGENT OR UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES THAT WILL INCREASE OUR
EXPENSES AND DEPLETE OUR CASH RESERVES.
When we acquire Internet service providers, we may acquire liabilities
which we did not know about at the time we negotiated these acquisitions or
which are contingent and are realized or prove to be larger than anticipated. If
any of these liabilities arise, we have only limited, if any, recourse against
the former owners of the Internet service providers we acquire. If any
substantial contingent obligations are realized or if we discover any
substantial unknown liabilities, our expenses may increase and cash reserves may
decline.
A DROP IN DEMAND FOR INTERNET ACCESS MAY CAUSE A REDUCTION IN OUR REVENUES.
Our business relies on demand for access to the Internet and for products
and services related to the Internet. The Internet has experienced rapid growth
in recent years, but recently introduced Internet-related products and services
may not be accepted in the market. Commerce and communication over the Internet
may not continue to develop and expand, and even if they do, the Internet access
and communications services we offer may not become widely adopted for these
purposes.
Our business will not grow as we expect and our revenues may decline if:
o the market for Internet access services fails to continue to develop;
o the Internet market develops more slowly than expected;
o the Internet market becomes saturated with competitors who reduce access
fees; or
o the Internet access and related products and services we offer are not
widely accepted.

IF TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS DO NOT PROVIDE US WITH ADEQUATE COMMUNICATIONS
CAPACITY TO DELIVER OUR SERVICES, WE MAY LOSE EXISTING SUBSCRIBERS AND FAIL TO
ATTRACT NEW SUBSCRIBERS, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN REDUCED REVENUES.
We rely on local and long-distance telecommunications companies to provide
data communications capacity. These providers may experience disruptions of
service or may have limited capacity, which could disrupt our services or limit
Internet access for our subscribers. We may not be able to replace or supplement
these services on a timely basis or at all. In addition, because we rely on
third-party telecommunications services providers for our backbone connection to
the Internet, we face the following limitations on our ability to serve our
existing subscribers and grow our subscriber base:
o we do not control decisions regarding availability of service at any
particular time;
o we may not be able to deploy new technologies when desirable because our
telecommunications providers may not be able to support the technology on
their backbones;
o we may not be able to establish new points of presence rapidly enough to
respond to increased subscriber demand which may result in significant
delays or an inability to access our system; and
o we may not be able to negotiate favorable interconnectivity agreements
with other Internet service providers.
Our telecommunications carriers also sell or lease their services to our
competitors and may be, or in the future may become, competitors themselves. Our
telecommunications carriers may enter into exclusive arrangements with our
competitors or stop selling or leasing their services to us at commercially
reasonable prices or at all. Any of the preceding factors could cause a
reduction in our revenues.
WE DEPEND ON THE CAPACITY AND RELIABILITY OF OUR NETWORK, AND A SYSTEM FAILURE
COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF SUBSCRIBERS AND A CONSEQUENT REDUCTION IN REVENUES.
We face capacity constraints both at the level of particular points of
presence, affecting subscribers attempting to use that point of presence, and
with system-wide services like e-mail. From time to time, we have experienced
delayed delivery from suppliers of new telephone lines, modems, routers,
terminal servers and other equipment. If we experience significant delays of
this nature, all our incoming modem lines may become full during peak times,
resulting in busy signals for subscribers who are trying to connect to our
network. We may experience similar problems if we are unable to expand the
capacity of our information servers for e-mail, news and the World Wide Web fast
enough to keep up with demand from a growing subscriber base or our integration
process. If the capacity of our servers is exceeded either because of growth in
our subscribers or our integration process, subscribers will experience delays
when trying to use a particular service. If we do not maintain sufficient
capacity in our network connections, subscribers will experience a general
slowdown of all Internet services. If we fail to expand or enhance our network
on a timely basis or to adapt it to changing subscriber requirements or evolving
industry standards, we could lose subscribers, which could result in reduced
revenues.
The occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems at one
of our points of presence could cause service interruptions for our subscribers.
In addition, if our telecommunications providers fail to provide the data
communications capacity we require as a result of a natural disaster, or
operational disruption or for any other reason, our subscribers could experience
service disruptions. Our current plan to maintain fully redundant or back-up
Internet services or backbone facilities or other fully redundant computing and
telecommunications facilities has not yet been implemented. Any accident,
incident or system failure that causes interruptions in our operations could
limit our ability to provide Internet services to our subscribers and as a
result, we could lose subscribers.
IF OUR SECURITY MEASURES FAIL, WE MAY LOSE SUBSCRIBERS OR BE SUED, RESULTING IN
ADDITIONAL EXPENSES AND INCREASED LOSSES.
Fixing problems caused by computer viruses, other inappropriate uses or
security breaches may require interruptions, delays or stops in service to our
subscribers, which could cause them to seek Internet access from other
providers. In addition, we expect our subscribers will increasingly use the
Internet for commercial
9
<PAGE>
transactions in the future. Any network malfunction or security breach could
cause these transactions to be delayed, not completed at all or completed with
compromised security. Our subscribers or others may sue us as a result of a
failure, which could result in additional expenses and increased losses.
PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE COULD CAUSE FAILURES IN OUR SYSTEMS
WHICH WOULD IMPAIR OUR OPERATIONS.
The year 2000 issue could result in system failures or miscalculations,
causing disruptions of operations, including, among others, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar business
activities. For information on our efforts to handle the year 2000 issue, see
'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure Statement,' below.
IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW LAWS OR REGULATIONS MAY INCREASE OUR COSTS OF DOING
BUSINESS AND MAY REDUCE OUR REVENUES.
Although we are not currently directly regulated by the Federal
Communications Commission or any other federal or state agency, changes in the
regulatory environment relating to the Internet access market, including
regulatory changes which directly or indirectly affect telecommunications costs
or increase the likelihood or scope of competition from regional Bell operating
companies or other telecommunications companies, could affect the prices at
which we may sell our services. For example, the imposition of interstate access
charges to local telephone companies or the elimination of reciprocal
compensation for local telephone companies may increase our costs of serving
dial-up subscribers.
The FCC may, in the future, reconsider its past ruling that Internet access
service is not 'telecommunications' and that Internet service providers are not
subject to the requirement to pay a percentage of their gross revenues as a
'universal service contribution.' If the FCC were to require universal service
contributions from providers of Internet access or Internet backbone services,
our costs of doing business could increase substantially, and we may not be able
to recover these costs from our subscribers. For more information on regulation
of our business, see 'Business--Government Regulation,' below.
New Federal, state, or local tax laws may also have an adverse impact on
our future revenues by imposing taxes on Internet access fees or e-commerce. We
may not be able to fully recoup these taxes from our subscribers because of the
competitive environment described above.
TO LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR INFORMATION DISSEMINATED OVER OUR NETWORK, WE
MAY HAVE TO SPEND SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF MONEY OR DISCONTINUE SOME PRODUCT OR
SERVICE OFFERINGS, RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL COSTS AND INCREASED LOSSES.
We may be liable for information carried on or disseminated through our
network or for violating the privacy of our subscribers. A number of lawsuits
and regulatory enforcement actions have sought to impose liability on Internet
service providers or on-line service providers for defamatory speech,
infringement of copyrighted materials and violations of privacy. The imposition
upon Internet service providers of potential liability for materials carried on
or disseminated through their systems could require us to implement measures to
reduce our exposure to this liability. These measures, as well as existing and
proposed federal and state legislation, may require the expenditure of
substantial resources or the discontinuation of some product or service
offerings, any of which could result in additional costs and reduced revenues.
FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKET COULD LOWER OUR STOCK
PRICE AND IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS IN NEW STOCK OFFERINGS.
As of December 31, 1999, we had 24,934,906 shares of common stock
outstanding, of which 12,000,549 shares are restricted shares. In addition,
2,925,805 shares of common stock are registered but are subject to contractual
lock-ups with us. We also had outstanding options to purchase 5,262,966 shares
of common stock at an average weighted exercise price of $20.64 per share,
1,246,928 of which were fully vested as of December 31, 1999. In addition, we
may issue additional shares of common stock that will be restricted shares as
consideration in the acquisitions of some of our Internet service providers. We
also may issue additional options to purchase common stock in connection with
earn-out arrangements we entered into when we purchased our Internet service
providers. Sales of a substantial amount of common stock in the public
10
<PAGE>
market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could adversely affect the
market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time in the public
market and could impair our ability to raise funds in additional stock
offerings.
We have filed registration statements under the Securities Act registering
up to 8,500,000 shares of our common stock subject to outstanding stock options
or reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans and pursuant to our
employee stock purchase plan.
In addition, as of December 31, 1999, the holders of 11,959,873 shares of
our common stock are entitled to piggy-back registration rights, which allow
these stockholders to sell these shares in the market simultaneously with any
further public offerings by us of our equity securities, with specified
exceptions.
The shares of common stock we issue in our acquisitions are subject to
contractual lock-up agreements with us that expire 50% on the first anniversary
of the applicable acquisition, 75% 18 months after the acquisition and 100% on
the second anniversary of the acquisition. For example, on March 30, 2000, the
one-year anniversary of the acquisitions of our first 17 Internet service
providers, approximately 5,700,000 shares of our common stock, or 22.8% of our
outstanding shares on December 31, 1999, will become eligible for resale,
subject to the volume limitations of Rule 144. For a description of these volume
limitations, see 'Restrictions on Resale,' below. Significant amounts of our
common stock will continue to become eligible for sale over the time periods
described above with respect to all of our acquisitions. Shares of our common
stock held by the former stockholders of acquired Internet service providers may
be sold without complying with the Rule 144 volume limitations once that stock
has been held for two years.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we will retain
our earnings to finance the expansion of our business and for general corporate
purposes.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
Our common stock has been traded on the Nasdaq National Market since March
25, 1999 under the symbol 'ONEM.' On February 1, 2000, the last reported sale
price of our common stock was $12.25. As of January 28, 2000, there were
24,934,900 shares of our common stock outstanding and 491 holders of record. The
following table shows the quarterly high and low sales prices per share reported
on the Nasdaq National Market for the periods indicated.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We provide Internet access and related services to individuals and
businesses located predominantly in smaller metropolitan markets and rural
communities throughout the United States. We believe individuals and businesses
in these markets value local content and service and have traditionally been
under-served by other national on-line service providers. We believe this lack
of services creates an opportunity for us to meet their growing demand for
Internet access and services. We emphasize creating an integrated relationship
with our subscribers by maintaining a strong local presence in all of our
markets. We intend to continue to strengthen this relationship by launching our
geographic communities and by enhancing customer service through our planned
regional call centers. Based on information published by ISP Report in its
November/December 1999 issue, we are one of the ten largest independent Internet
service providers in the United States based on number of subscribers. As of
December 31, 1999, we served approximately 700,000 subscribers in 31 states.
As part of strengthening our relationship with our subscribers, we are
creating on-line geographic communities in each of our markets to enhance the
on-line experience of our subscribers and to generate additional revenue. Each
geographic community will be specific to a locale and will serve as a portal
offering local, customized content, community message boards and chat rooms,
Internet telephony, Web-based calendars and e-commerce, among other services. We
seek to aggregate local content through revenue-sharing alliances and
partnerships with different providers, such as the Bakersfield Californian
newspaper which will provide our Bakersfield, California subscribers with local
news and information. In addition, we recently signed agreements with several
national providers, including eCal, MyWay.com, Net2Phone, Mail.com, theglobe.com
and GoTo.com, to supplement our local content and bring universal content and
functionality to our geographic communities. We expect to launch our first
geographic community in February 2000 and expect to launch geographic
communities in the remainder of our current markets over the 12 to 18 months
following the date of this prospectus.
Our mission statement is to 'be the leading customer-driven provider of
Internet access, Internet services and local content to smaller metropolitan
markets and rural communities.' We focus on markets that are not within the top
25 metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. We benefit from the
relatively low fixed costs for personnel and facilities in our markets. When
fully integrated, we also expect to benefit from the reduced telecommunications
and operating costs resulting from our national scale.
On a combined basis, our pro forma total revenue was $103 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. In addition, from our initial public
offering at the end of March 1999, we have grown the number of our subscribers
from approximately 370,000 to approximately 700,000 as of December 31, 1999,
representing an increase of 89%. On a combined basis, our pro forma net loss was
$91 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Pro forma EBITDA on a
combined basis was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
EBITDA represents earnings or losses before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. We have included EBITDA because it is a measure commonly used by
investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating
performance. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under
generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as a
substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss) or cash flows from
operating activities for purposes of analyzing our operating performance,
financial position or cash flows. Not all companies define EBITDA in the same
way, and our EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to EBITDA reported by other
companies.
OUR MARKET OPPORTUNITY
The 25 largest metropolitan areas in the United States comprise only 50% of
the U.S. population, leaving approximately 135 million individuals in hundreds
of smaller markets as potential subscribers. In addition, the Internet
penetration rate of these smaller markets is less than that of larger
metropolitan areas. As of October 1999, approximately 62 million people, or 23%
of the U.S. population, were within our market coverage. The local content to be
provided by our geographic communities, our managerial talent, technological
competence and localized sales and marketing skills provide us with what we
believe are
12
<PAGE>
significant competitive advantages. Many of the national on-line service
providers with whom we currently compete provide access in our markets only
through long-distance calls, which make access more expensive for subscribers.
All of our networks are accessible to our subscribers through a local telephone
call.
According to International Data Corporation, total United States ISP
revenues are projected to grow from approximately $10.7 billion in 1998 to
approximately $37.4 billion in 2003. In addition, International Data Corporation
estimates that the number of users in the United States accessing the World Wide
Web will increase from approximately 63 million at the end of 1998 to
approximately 175 million in 2003.
OUR STRATEGY
We intend to enhance the value of our company by continuing to grow our
subscriber base and then leveraging our subscriber base to increase revenues and
reduce costs. The following are the key elements of our strategy.
MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. We believe our subscribers
are satisfied with our service as evidenced by our churn rate shown below. In
addition, the table below shows the growth in our subscriber base over the four
quarters ending December 31, 1999:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
NUMBER OF PERCENTAGE AVERAGE
SUBSCRIBERS(1) AT GROWTH FROM MONTHLY
QUARTER ENDED END OF QUARTER PREVIOUS QUARTER CHURN RATE(2)
------------- ----------------- ---------------- -------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
March 31, 1999................................. 371,000 11.8% 2.7%

</TABLE>
- ------------------
(1) Subscribers are customers to whom we provide dial-up Internet access,
dedicated Internet access or Web hosting services.
(2) We define churn rate as the percentage obtained by dividing the number of
subscribers that cancel, do not renew their subscriptions or are terminated
minus those reactivated during a quarter by the average number of
subscribers during that quarter. Average monthly churn rate is calculated as
the quarter's churn rate divided by three.
We intend to maintain and grow our subscriber base by continuing to provide
easy-to-use Internet access and local and national marketing initiatives, as
well as continuing to focus on local presence, providing superior customer
service and technical support and introducing new products and services, as
described below.
CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON LOCAL PRESENCE. We believe that having a strong local
presence in our markets helps us create an integrated relationship with our
subscribers and is a key factor in our high subscriber retention rates and
strong word-of-mouth referrals. We maintain our local presence by operating
storefronts staffed with local sales and service personnel and by targeting our
advertising and marketing campaign on a local level. In addition, by creating
geographic communities to provide local content and community functionality, we
believe that we can offer value-added services to our subscribers which will
result in frequent and extended traffic and incremental revenue.
Community presence and involvement. We target our advertising and
marketing initiatives on a local level, by, among other things, sponsoring local
events and sports teams. We serve our existing subscribers and intend to attract
new subscribers through our 40 local storefronts, as of December 31, 1999,
staffed with local sales and service personnel which allow subscribers to stop
in and sign up for our Internet access in person.
Creating geographic communities. The geographic communities are expected
to provide local content and community functionality. We believe that these
services will become an integral part of our subscribers' daily routine,
promoting increased usage and loyalty.
GENERATE NON-ACCESS REVENUE. We believe that our geographic communities
will be a key driver in providing non-access revenue. Through our co-branding
agreements with local and national partners, we expect to receive advertising
and e-commerce revenue based on page impressions, purchases and subscriber
13
<PAGE>
activities. When launched, our geographic communities will comprise a series of
localized content sites that will bring our subscribers local, granular content
pertaining to their particular town or locale, such as news from a local on-line
newspaper or the score from a high school football game. The communities will
allow us to offer subscribers an enhanced on-line experience, which we
anticipate will build subscriber loyalty and repeat usage. Additionally, we
expect our geographic communities to generate revenue through alliances with
different content partners.
Over the past several months, we have developed a prototype of our
communities and, currently, are in the final testing phases before the initial
product launch. In building this prototype, we have conducted extensive consumer
demographic research on subscriber preferences, including a recently completed
Web-based subscriber survey. We anticipate launching our first geographic
community in Bakersfield, California in February 2000.
In general, our geographic communities will seek to aggregate content
through alliances and partnerships with different providers. By sourcing
customized content from our partners, we expect to offer each locale's
subscribers specific access to local information of interest, such as local
news, entertainment and community events. In addition to local newspaper
content, we also plan to build out local e-commerce platforms in our geographic
communities. As a targeted distribution mechanism for advertising and e-commerce
products, we provide advertisers and e-commerce products with an efficient
method of reaching their targeted markets. We have agreements with several local
and national providers to bring content and functionality to our geographic
communities. These agreements provide for revenue sharing based on fees for
service and advertising. These providers include the following:
o Bakersfield Californian will offer subscribers access to Bakersfield,
California news, sports news, dining and entertainment and op-eds;
o eCal will provide our subscribers with a co-branded, fully integrated
on-line calendar. Subscribers will be able to manage their daily
schedules, access information about local community events and create
group calendars;
o MyWay.com will provide basic content of interest to subscribers on a
daily basis. Items like national news, national sports news, business
news, family features, maps and directions will be sourced from
MyWay.com;
o Net2Phone will build a co-branded communications center for our
subscribers to use its Internet telephony services, which include
PC2Phone, PC2Fax and PC2PC. We will share in net revenues generated by
subscriber calls through this co-branded communications center, which
will allow our subscribers to connect on-line to Net2Phone services. The
communications center will feature free downloadable PC-to-phone software
and downloadable instructions and details about Net2Phone's low calling
rates. Net2Phone allows users to place low-cost, high quality calls from
their computer, telephone or fax machine to any telephone or fax machine
in the world;
o Mail.com will offer its Web-based e-mail product to our subscribers on a
co-branded basis;
o theglobe.com will supply a number of co-branded communications products
that will be used to foster greater interaction between subscribers and
their communities. theglobe.com's products include message boards, group
e-mail lists and homepage builder functionality; and
o GoTo.com will offer its search engine capability, on a co-branded basis,
throughout all of our geographic communities.
We believe size and market penetration have been factors in negotiating
what we believe are favorable financial terms in our agreements with national
content providers. In most partnerships, we will generate revenue through
advertising revenue sharing or will be compensated on a page view basis through
cost-per-page view pricing. In addition, our partners generally will host much
of the content that they provide to us on their respective servers. This
distribution arrangement should prove cost-effective for us, and because most of
the content will be co-branded, we will be able to offer our subscribers a
largely seamless on-line experience. As the planned rollout of the communities
progresses, we will focus on bringing additional content and functionality to
our subscribers.
14
<PAGE>
PROVIDE SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. We believe
superior customer service is critical to our ability to retain existing
subscribers and attract new subscribers. Our subscribers depend on the speed and
reliability of our network and our ability to keep them connected to the
Internet at all times. The knowledge and service-orientation of our customer
service and technical support personnel is a key element in our ability to
assist our subscribers in quickly resolving problems. To maintain the local,
personalized nature of our customer service, we also intend to employ local
customer service representatives who will be trained to respond to referrals
from our planned regional call centers. Our strategy of creating a partnership
between local service teams and regional call centers should enable us to
capture economies of scale, improve quality and responsiveness and increase
productivity, while allowing local personnel to focus on relationships with
subscribers.
To address individual subscriber needs, we plan to provide customer service
24 hours a day, seven days a week. This 24x7 service is currently being provided
in some of our markets through our local operations, and we plan eventually to
provide it in substantially all of our markets through regional call centers.
These regional call centers will use the latest in call center technology to
provide a high level of customer service from the time the call is placed
through the resolution of the problem. We intend to route calls quickly and
efficiently over an integrated voice network. We are deploying Lucent
Technologies' Definity family of telecommunications switches and associated call
center support software throughout our network. The Lucent solution also
includes:
o skills based call routing, which matches personnel with calls based on
specific skills;
o look ahead call routing, which routes calls to the most underutilized
center at the time; and
o reporting software, which tracks calls from the moment they are received
to the moment they end.
IMPLEMENT BROADBAND STRATEGY. We currently provide broadband access to
both individuals and businesses using a variety of vendors and technologies. Our
broadband technologies include traditional dedicated circuits and newer emerging
technologies including xDSL, cable and wireless. Because no vendor or technology
provides complete coverage over our entire service area, and none meet all of
our subscribers' varied needs, we intend to continue expanding our use of
multiple broadband vendors and technologies throughout our markets. While
diversification of broadband vendors and technologies limits our market risk,
efforts to standardize our support and provisioning systems allow us to handle
broadband services consistently and efficiently.
INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. We intend to capitalize on
opportunities to sell more profitable, value-added products and services to our
existing subscribers and to pursue opportunities to open new markets through
additional products and services, including:
o wireless and broadband services, which allow a line to transmit numerous
voice, video and data channels at the same time;
o Web hosting, which allows subscribers to have a Web site using our Web
servers and equipment;
o Web design, which includes all facets of designing a Web site for a
subscriber; and
o e-commerce applications, which allow businesses to easily create and
operate a 'storefront' to sell merchandise over the Internet.
We intend to learn about our subscribers' usage habits to enable us to
market new and current products and services to subscribers who exhibit
characteristics which indicate a demand for these products and services. For
example, we can identify subscribers who spend a great deal of time on-line
through use of a dial-up modem making them likely candidates for enhanced access
capability through dedicated access services. We also continue to actively
explore new technologies and partnerships that will appeal to new subscribers
and enhance the on-line experience of our existing subscribers. We believe that
by providing value-added products and services we can enhance our subscribers'
on-line experience and maintain our high subscriber retention rate, while
increasing revenues.
REALIZE BENEFITS OF SCALE. A primary focus of our company is to realize
the benefits of scale in the following areas:
15
<PAGE>
Incremental revenue streams. We expect to leverage our growing subscriber
base and user traffic to establish relationships with sponsors, corporations
that want an Internet presence, third-party vendors, Internet portals and
content providers. We expect these relationships to generate sponsorship and
e-commerce revenues. We anticipate that these relationships will be incorporated
into our on-line geographic communities and our corporate Web site.
Reduce costs. We intend to take advantage of our national scale to
increase our network and bandwidth purchasing power and consolidate business
functions, thereby reducing our costs. Specifically, we intend to implement the
following steps to reduce costs:
o reduce our telecommunications costs system-wide by negotiating two or
more relationships with national backbone providers to connect our
subscribers to the Internet;
o negotiate favorable local loop contracts and establish and expand
co-location arrangements with local exchange carriers to substantially
reduce our local loop costs;
o establish and expand private peering relationships to reduce our costs
and improve access and reliability for our subscribers;
o regionalize our business functions;
o use a standardized billing system, which can track usage and use data for
marketing purposes;
o negotiate discounts with equipment vendors; and
o manage financial information through a common accounting and billing
system.
INCREASE FOCUS ON BUSINESS CUSTOMERS. We believe that one of the most
rapid areas of growth in our revenues will be in business sales and service.
Recognizing this potential, we created a dedicated business sales and service
division. This new division is focusing on the needs of small to medium-sized
businesses in our markets. We intend to compete in this area with other national
and regional providers through a local presence and by providing high quality
customer service and competitive products. The types of services we provide
through our dedicated business sales division include:
o dedicated Internet access, which provides a continuous connection to the
Internet;
o Web hosting, which offers businesses a presence on the Internet using our
Web servers and related equipment;
o virtual private networks, which allow businesses a secure means of
transferring data between office locations and communicating with other
users on the Web;
o co-location facilities, which allow businesses to locate their own Web
server at one of our points of presence; and
o networking products, which consist of routers and local access networks.
The business sales division is structured on a regional basis. We
anticipate that each region will have a management team consisting of a sales
manager, director of operations, network engineer and network operations
manager. Each regional office will also have an outside sales team, a back
office support team and a Web development team.
CONTINUE TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL ISPS. We intend to continue our growth by
acquiring additional ISPs and subscribers within existing and contiguous markets
to increase our density in these markets and by acquiring independent ISPs and
subscribers in targeted new markets to increase our scale and geographic scope.
The ISP industry remains fragmented, with over 8,300 ISPs in the United States
as of January 1, 2000, according to internet.com. Many of these ISPs operate in
the markets in which we will focus our strategy, and the vast majority of those
ISPs are small local operations each with fewer than 10,000 subscribers that we
believe do not have the resources to maintain a high level of customer care and
technical support. When determining which ISPs to acquire, we focus on the
following criteria:
o rapid revenue and subscriber growth;
16
<PAGE>
o strong EBITDA margins;
o low subscriber turnover or churn rates;
o proximity to our existing ISPs, or sufficient scale in a new target
market;
o high density, defined as a high ratio of subscribers to POPs;
o limited competition;
o consistent network platforms provided by common vendors that can be
integrated readily into our network; and
o experienced and capable management teams.
We believe ISPs in our target markets will continue to be attracted to and
benefit from the opportunity to affiliate with us. We believe we offer local ISP
owners an attractive opportunity based upon, among other factors:
o empowering local ISP owners to use their local market knowledge to build
market share and density by providing them with access to sufficient
capital and resources;
o reducing telecommunications costs and improving network infrastructure
attributable to a larger, national scale; and
o offering current owners and employees a combination of liquidity and
upside financial potential through equity ownership in a publicly traded
entity.
SERVICES
We offer services to meet the needs of both individual and business users.
Our primary services are dial-up Internet services, which include Internet
access through standard dial-up modems and various Internet applications such
as:
o electronic mail, which allows subscribers to send or receive messages to
or from any other person with an Internet address;
o browsing the World Wide Web;
o Internet relay chat, which allows real-time communication between
individuals;
o file transfer protocol, which allows files to be transferred between a
host computer and a remote computer; and
o Usenet news group services, which is a worldwide bulletin board system
that can be accessed through the Internet and contains forums, called
newsgroups, that cover numerous interest groups.
We are moving toward a standardized product set and standard pricing
nationwide as we advance through our integration process.
We offer month-to-month, semi-annual and annual subscription accounts to
our members. The semi-annual and annual subscriptions are discounted. Our
subscribers are able to sign up over the telephone, through the use of a compact
disc distributed through local dealers and the mail, by walking into one of our
local offices, via the World Wide Web at the OneMain.com web site or our local
Web sites. Our subscribers may be billed through automatic charges to their
credit cards or bank accounts, via invoicing or, in keeping with our 'hometown
internet' philosophy, they may walk into our local offices and pay their
accounts in person.
In addition to dial-up access, we have the ability to offer the following:
o dedicated analog services, which provide a continuous connection at a
range of speeds using traditional telecommunications lines and frame
relay communications services for greater speed and reliability;
o dial-up and dedicated service through ISDN, which stands for Integrated
Services Digital Network and which combines voice and digital network
services through a single medium, making it possible to offer digital
data services as well as voice connections;
17
<PAGE>
o digital subscriber lines, which offer high-speed Internet access using
digital service technology through traditional telephone lines;
o cable modems, which offer broadband Internet access through the use of
modems integrated with local cable television networks; and
o fractional and full T1 Internet service, which uses a data communications
line capable of transmission speeds of 1.54 Megabytes per second, or
Mbps.
We offer Web hosting for businesses and other organizations that wish to
create their own Web sites without maintaining their own Web servers and
high-speed Internet connections. Our Web hosting services feature:
o state-of-the-art Web servers for high speed and reliability;
o a high quality connection to the Internet;
o specialized customer service; and
o advanced services features, such as secure transactions and site usage
reports.
We also offer Web design services. These services range from simple one
page Web design requests to full company presentations. Some of our local
offices have created turnkey Web site designs of great detail, using the talents
of their in-house art and Web designers and technical staff. Often, we sell our
Web design services and Web hosting as a package.
OPERATIONS
MANAGING OUR ISPS THROUGH REGIONAL OPERATING GROUPS. We are organized into
four regional operating groups. These operating groups:
o manage our business on a day-to-day basis;
o integrate acquired subscribers;
o manage network functions;
o provide customer service; and
o manage internal growth at the local level.
As part of our regional strategy, each operating group focuses on:
o providing superior customer service and support;
o increasing subscriber density;
o reducing local loop costs; and
o managing regional accounting and billing systems.
Each of the operating groups has local storefronts in the following cities
and communities:

INTEGRATION OF OUR LOCAL OPERATIONS. The network integration of our local
operations consists of:
o building a backbone for Internet connectivity and custom interface
services such as mail and news;
o creating Web-caching services;
o upstreaming Internet connectivity by using multiple Tier 1 ISPs; and
o deploying redundant national network operations centers.
We believe that our scalable services architecture will provide a cost
effective common platform for our operations, will provide redundant
connectivity and will easily support new services.
In addition to building an integrated network, we are also integrating our
accounting, billing and financial systems across our company. When completed,
this integration will allow:
o the call centers to work with the billing system to assist customer
service;
o integrated billing and financial reports to be generated;
o real-time subscriber data to be collected to allow analysis of trends and
subscriber retention procedures;
o reports to be streamlined;
o billing costs to be reduced;
o marketing campaigns to be measured for effectiveness;
o churn rate data to be analyzed for reasons for terminations;
o a decrease in the time it takes to get new products to market; and
o an increase in employee productivity by streamlining business processes.
By integrating our 25 local ISPs at the operating group level, we
anticipate achieving the following:
o elimination of redundant network costs;
o implementation of our geographic communities;
o consolidation of operations, including network, back office functions and
call centers; and
o retention of sales staff and key managers.
We currently anticipate that in the 12 to 18 months following the date of
this prospectus, all of our current subscribers will be integrated.
SERVICES. As part of the integration process, we selected the following
vendors to provide us with various software and services:
o Kenan Arbor/BP for our billing software;
o PeopleSoft for our financial software;
o Crystal Report Writer for our financial reporting software;
o Paymentech for our credit card and electronic funds transfer clearing
house services;
o Oracle for our subscriber database; and
o Lucent for our call center integration.
We have also created interfaces to allow communications between all of
these applications to maximize the utility of the integration.

SALES AND MARKETING
Our marketing group is a combination of national marketing employees in our
corporate office and regional marketing groups. Through this combination of
national and regional expertise, we are able to design and implement a cohesive
nationwide marketing plan while maintaining our local focus.
Our marketing plan includes national advertising and public relations
initiatives as well as local marketing and community programs. Our marketing
program uses seasonal promotions, multiple media vehicles and grass roots
involvement to increase our subscriber base. We have placed advertisements with
local and regional print, radio, television and outdoor companies. As part of
our local strategy, we have sponsored community organizations, sports teams and
educational institutions. Together, these marketing strategies have helped us
target desired new subscribers while helping us build our brand identity in our
markets.
Sales are executed by our sales personnel as well as by our Web-based
sign-up program available through our CDs or our Web site. In addition, we have
an extensive network of over 300 dealers working together with our local
operating companies. The dealers provide us with an excellent vehicle for
additional subscriber growth by distributing the CDs and completing subscriber
applications, which are then forwarded to our local offices. Dealers are paid
either by the subscriber, as a percentage of revenue generated or a combination
of the two methods. Our dealers range from small computer stores to local
newspapers that are within our local communities continuing, our focus on the
local presence throughout our markets.
OUR NETWORK AND SYSTEM
NETWORK. As of December 31, 1999, our network consisted of 13 upstream
providers and 46 upstream connections.
Using a phased approach, our network-engineering group is now integrating
our 25 local networks into a single, unified network with local, regional and
national components. The specific phase one plan will connect networks in close
geographic proximity to form regional networks with high speed, redundant
Internet connections. Each of the regional networks will have network
connectivity to our east and west coast data centers via approximately 13 ATM
network nodes. The ATM network will allow us to maintain cost effective and
consistent connectivity to vital subscriber services located at the data
centers.
When fully integrated, our network will permit the implementation of a
central, highly scalable, server architecture. We are currently in contract
negotiations with several telecommunications carriers to procure national
contracts for upstream Internet connectivity, national ATM network connectivity
and regional network connectivity. The contracts, in their current form, will
reduce network costs per subscriber in several areas, and allow us to respond
quickly to new business requirements for network connectivity.
SYSTEM. We have implemented a redundant, scalable system architecture
which enables us to provide reliable and efficient services to our subscribers.
We have installed Cisco routers and F5 service switches to receive and route
data sent to our system. Our bank of Sun workstations and Network Appliance disk
farms safely organizes and stores data. In addition, our Web hosting, electronic
mail, news and authentication servers are connected via an ATM service backbone.
Each of these systems is scalable, allowing us to increase capacity as our
subscriber base grows and as we enter new markets.
COMPETITION
The market for providing Internet access is extremely competitive and
highly fragmented. Our current and prospective competitors include:
o other national, regional and local Internet service providers, such as
America Online, Microsoft Network, Prodigy, MindSpring, Earthlink,
Internet America and Voyager, including those who provide free access
such as NetZero, Juno and FirstUp;
o long-distance and local telecommunications companies, including AT&T, MCI
WorldCom and Sprint;
20
<PAGE>
o cable television companies offering high speed Internet access via cable
modem, either directly or through alliances with Internet access
providers such as Excite@Home, Roadrunner and AT&T;
o direct broadcast satellite companies; and
o wireless communications providers.
As a result of an increase in the number of competitors, and vertical and
horizontal integration in the industry, we currently face and expect to continue
to face significant competition. Many of our competitors have greater market
presence, brand recognition and financial, technical and personnel resources
than we do, including, in some instances, a large, existing commercial
subscriber base. Telecommunications providers also may have the ability to
bundle Internet access with basic local and long-distance telecommunications
services. Other alternative service companies are approaching the Internet
access market with various newer wireless terrestrial- and satellite-based
service technologies.
In addition, a number of national Internet service providers recently
entered into alliances with traditional chain retailers under which the retailer
will feature its allied Internet service provider in its stores. Examples
include recently announced alliances between America Online and Wal-mart,
America Online and Best Buy, and Microsoft Network and Kmart. These alliances
may prove to have a significant negative impact on our business since these
retail chains provide a ready-made distribution channel into our targeted
smaller metropolitan markets and rural communities. In addition, the recently
announced merger between America Online and Time Warner, Inc. will provide
America Online with substantial content for its site and broadband access, which
could have a significant negative impact on our business.
We believe the primary competitive factors that will enable us to succeed
in our markets are our local presence, knowledgeable salespeople, responsive
customer support personnel, quality technical support and local content. Other
important factors include price, the timing of introductions of new products and
services and industry and general economic trends.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We provide Internet access, in part, through transmissions over public
telephone lines. These transmissions are governed by regulatory policies
establishing charges and terms for communications. As an Internet access
provider, we are not currently directly regulated by the FCC or any other
agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. We could,
however, become subject in the future to regulation by the FCC and/or other
regulatory agencies as a provider of basic telecommunications services.
These regulations could affect the charges that we pay to connect to the
local telephone network or for other purposes. Currently, we, like other
Internet access providers, are not required to pay carrier access charges.
Access charges are assessed by local telephone companies to long-distance
companies for the use of the local telephone network to originate and terminate
long-distance calls, largely on a per minute basis. Access charges have been a
matter of continuing dispute, with long-distance companies complaining that the
rates are substantially in excess of cost and local telephone companies arguing
that access rates are justified to subsidize lower local rates for end users and
other purposes. In May 1997, the FCC reaffirmed its decision that Internet
access providers should not be required to pay carrier access charges.
To the extent that an end user's call to an Internet access provider is
local rather than long distance, the local telephone company that serves the ISP
may be entitled to reciprocal compensation from the end user's local telephone
company. Reciprocal compensation is a reimbursement from one local telephone
company to a second one for handling calls that originate with the first local
telephone company and terminate with the second one. To the extent that a call
from an end user to an ISP is considered local, the local telephone company
serving an ISP would be entitled to reciprocal compensation. This payment of
reciprocal compensation reduces the local telephone company's costs and
ultimately reduces the ISP's cost. The FCC recently determined that most, but
not all, traffic to an Internet access provider is generally interstate in
nature rather than intrastate. This determination could potentially eliminate
the payment of reciprocal compensation to the local telephone company, which
ultimately may affect our costs. The FCC has yet to rule on the specific issue
of federal regulatory treatment of interstate traffic from an end user served by
one local telephone company to an ISP served by another local telephone company.
The FCC has stated,
21
<PAGE>
however, that state commissions may determine whether, in some circumstances,
reciprocal compensation should be paid pending its resolution of the question.
These state decisions may affect the cost structure in our industry.
The FCC also has concluded that Internet access providers should not be
required to contribute to a new universal service fund established to replace
current local rate subsidies and to meet other public policy objectives, such as
enhanced communications systems for schools, libraries and health care
providers. As a result, unlike telecommunications carriers and other
telecommunications providers, Internet access providers do not have to
contribute a percentage of their revenues to the federal universal service fund
and are not expected to be required to contribute to similar funds being
established at the state level. Both the access charge and universal service
treatment of Internet access providers, however, are the subjects of further FCC
proceedings and could change. Telephone companies are actively seeking
modification or reversal of the FCC decisions, and their arguments are gaining
more support as Internet-based telephony begins to compete with conventional
telecommunications companies. We are not in a position to predict how these
matters will be resolved, but we could be adversely affected if, in the future,
we and other ISPs are required to pay access charges or contribute to universal
service support or our local telephone companies no longer receive reciprocal
compensation for our traffic.
The law relating to the liability of Internet access providers and on-line
services companies for information carried on or disseminated through their
networks is developing. Although federal law insulates ISPs and on-line service
providers from liability for third-party information disseminated over their
systems in many instances, and such immunity is supported by a growing number of
common law decisions, the law in this area is not settled. Although no claims
seeking to impose this type of liability have been asserted against our ISPs to
date, there can be no assurance that these claims will not be asserted in the
future or, if asserted, will not be successful. As the law in this area
develops, the potential imposition of liability upon us for information carried
on and disseminated through our network could require us to implement measures
to reduce our exposure to this liability, which may require the expenditure of
substantial resources or the discontinuation of some of our products or service
offerings. Any costs that are incurred as a result of contesting any asserted
claims or the consequent imposition of liability could materially adversely
affect our profitability.
The Omnibus Budget Appropriations Act of 1998 included provisions providing
for a three-year moratorium on state and local taxes on: (1) Internet access,
unless the tax was generally imposed and actually enforced prior to October 1,
1998, or (2) multiple or discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce. Those
states in which we are currently operating that have enforceable sales tax laws
on Internet access fees are Ohio and Tennessee. There is no guarantee that we
will not, through future acquisitions, become subject to sales tax on Internet
access fees in other states where a sales tax is currently enforceable or that
the general Federal moratorium will continue in the future for Internet access
fees. While this tax, if imposed, would be passed through to the subscriber,
there is no assurance that our subscribers would be willing to pay the increased
amount due, thereby potentially reducing the pre-tax access fee that we would
collect from our subscribers.
The Budget Act also established the Advisory Commission on Electronic
Commerce to conduct a study of Federal, state, local and international taxation
and tariff treatment of sales transactions involving the Internet and Internet
access and make recommendations to Congress. These recommendations have not yet
been made to Congress and, therefore, the outcome of the Advisory Commission's
study is unknown. Legislation that may be enacted as a result of the Advisory
Commission's recommendations could have a detrimental impact on revenue as
described above and could result in significant compliance costs.
Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, a number of laws
and regulations have been adopted in recent months, and it is possible that
additional laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet,
covering issues such as content, user privacy, pricing and copyright
infringement. Laws and regulations potentially affecting us have been adopted,
and may be adopted in the future, by federal and state governments, as well as
by foreign governments. We cannot predict the impact, if any, that recent and
any future regulatory changes or developments may have on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Changes in the regulatory
environment relating to the Internet access industry, including
22
<PAGE>
regulatory changes that directly or indirectly affect telecommunication costs or
increase the likelihood or scope of competition from regional telephone
companies or others, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
General. Although we believe that our success is more a function of our
technical expertise and customer service than our proprietary rights, our
success and ability to compete depends in part upon our technology. We rely on a
combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, and contractual
restrictions to establish and protect our technology. It is our policy to
require employees and consultants and, when possible, suppliers to execute
confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of their relationships with us.
These agreements provide that confidential information developed or made known
during the course of a relationship with us must be kept confidential and not
disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances. We cannot provide
any assurances that the steps we have taken will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of our technology or that our competitors will not
independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior
to our technology.
Licenses. We have obtained authorization to use the products of each
manufacturer of software that we bundle in our front-end software product for
our subscribers. The particular applications included in our starter-kit have,
in some cases, been licensed. We currently intend to maintain or negotiate
renewals of, as the case may be, all existing software licenses and
authorizations as necessary. We may also want or need to license other
applications in the future. License fees charged to us upon enrollment of
additional subscribers are included in the cost of subscriber start-up fees.
Other applications included in our starter kit are shareware that we have
obtained permission to distribute or that are from the public domain and are
freely distributable.
PERSONNEL
As of December 31, 1999, we employed approximately 1,129 individuals
full-time and 180 part-time. None of our employees are represented by a labor
union. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.
PROPERTIES
Our local operations lease space in their markets for their POPs and also
for office space. We do not believe the locations of the properties in which we
lease office or POP space or the terms of any of our leases, individually, are
material. We anticipate that we will require additional space for POPs as we
expand, and we believe that we will be able to obtain suitable space as needed.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding that would have a
material effect on our consolidated financial condition.

1998 and $97,592 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 recorded as a
result of the acquisitions. These amortization charges are attributable
primarily to goodwill, subscriber lists and will be amortized over three
years and computed on the basis described in the notes to the unaudited pro
forma combined financial statements.
(3) EBITDA represents earnings or losses before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization. We have included EBITDA in these data because it is a
measure commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the
basis of operating performance. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial
performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be
construed as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss) or
cash flows from operating activities for purposes of analyzing our operating
performance, financial position or cash flows. Not all companies define
EBITDA in the same way, and our EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to
EBITDA reported by other companies.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion of our results of operations and of our liquidity
and capital resources should be read together with our condensed consolidated
financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this
prospectus.
OVERVIEW
We successfully completed an initial public offering of 8,500,000 shares of
our common stock on March 30, 1999, concurrently with the acquisitions of 17
ISPs. We refer to these 17 acquisitions as our IPO Acquisitions. On April 9,
1999, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase
1,275,000 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price of $22.00
per share. As of the period ended September 30, 1999, we had acquired all of the
outstanding common stock and limited liability company interests of five
additional ISPs and selected assets of three ISPs for approximately $72,393,000
in cash and common stock. We refer to these additional acquisitions as the
Subsequent Acquisitions. For financial reporting purposes, the IPO Acquisitions
have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting from March 30,
1999 and the Subsequent Acquisitions from the date of acquisition. The purchase
of these and subsequent companies, coupled with strategic, internal growth, has
increased our subscribers to approximately 700,000 at December 31, 1999.
REVENUE
We derive Internet access revenues primarily from subscriptions from
individuals and small businesses for dial-up access to the Internet.
Subscription fees vary among our ISPs and by billing plan within the subscriber
base for a particular ISP. We also earn access revenues by providing dedicated
Internet access and Web hosting services.
We earn other revenues by charging set-up and installation fees, providing
Web page design and development and other technical services and selling
advertising, equipment and software. Revenues from the sale of these products
and services have been classified as other revenues in the combined results of
operations table set forth below.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Our costs and expenses include:
o cost of access revenues;
o cost of other revenues;
o operations and customer support;
o sales and marketing;
o general and administrative;
o amortization; and
o depreciation.
Cost of access revenues consists primarily of the costs of maintaining
sufficient capacity to provide service to our subscribers. For an ISP, capacity
is a measurement of the ISP's ability to connect subscribers to the Internet,
and capacity costs include:
o the cost of leased routers and access servers and recurring
telecommunications costs, including the cost of local telephone lines to
carry subscriber calls to our points of presence, or POPs;
o the costs associated with leased lines connecting our POPs directly to
the Internet or to our operations centers and connecting our operations
centers to the Internet; and
o Internet backbone costs, which are the amounts we pay to Internet
backbone providers for bandwidth which allows us to transmit data from
the Internet to our subscribers.
31
<PAGE>
We expect the cost of access revenues to increase over time on an absolute
basis, as our subscriber base grows. However, we expect to leverage the combined
scale of our ISPs to lower the cost of access revenues as a percentage of
revenues by:
o negotiating one or more relationships with national backbone providers to
connect our ISPs to the Internet;
o negotiating favorable local loop contracts and establishing co-location
arrangements with local exchange carriers;
o establishing relationships to reduce our costs and improve access and
reliability for our subscribers; and
o negotiating discounts with equipment vendors.
Cost of other revenues consists primarily of:
o the salaries and benefits of the personnel providing installation of
equipment and software;
o Web development and technical services; and
o the cost of purchasing the equipment to provide these services. In the
case of equipment and software sales, the cost of other revenues includes
the cost of licensing software and purchasing equipment for resale.
Operations and customer support includes the expenses associated with
customer service and technical support, and consists primarily of the salaries
and employment costs of the employees responsible for those efforts. We expect
operations and customer support expenses to increase over time to support new
subscribers and expand our existing subscribers' service. New subscribers tend
to have particularly heavy customer service and technical support requirements.
Because we anticipate rapid growth in our subscriber base to continue, we expect
these costs to comprise an increasing percentage of expenses in the near term.
In addition, implementing our call center strategy, which will provide customer
service and technical support 24 hours a day, seven days a week in our markets,
will increase these expenses. In the longer term, as a percentage of revenues,
we believe operations and customer support expenses should decline as we
integrate our operations.
Sales and marketing includes the expenses associated with acquiring
subscribers, including advertising, promotions, referral bonuses, salaries and
sales commissions. On a percentage of revenue basis, sales and marketing expense
is a relatively variable cost and will increase with our development of a common
brand supported by a community-based marketing program. We expect that, over
time, sales and marketing expense will decrease as a percent of revenues.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of:
o the salaries and benefits of our management and administrative employees;
o the cost of travel, entertainment, rent, utilities and credit card
processing; and
o the cost of consulting and professional fees related to integration.
We expect general and administrative costs to increase to support our
growth, particularly as we integrate our operations by establishing network
operations centers and call centers, and by implementing common billing and
financial reporting systems in the near term. Over time, we expect to leverage
the combined scale of our ISPs to lower these expenses as a percentage of
revenues as we realize efficiencies from integration.
Amortization expense primarily relates to the amortization of goodwill and
customer lists resulting from the acquisitions of our ISPs. We expect
amortization expense to increase as we acquire additional ISPs. Our policy is to
amortize, on a straight-line basis, the portion of the acquisition purchase
price attributable to customer lists and goodwill over a three-year period.
Depreciation primarily relates to our hardware infrastructure and is
calculated over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to
seven years using the straight-line method. We expect our capital expenditures
to increase as our operations continue to expand. We anticipate that financial
resources will be utilized to acquire additional communications equipment and
improvements to technology that will allow our
32
<PAGE>
networks to grow to support new and acquired subscribers, build network
operations and call centers and integrate common billing and financial reporting
systems.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Subsequent to September 30, 1999, we acquired four ISPs totaling over
80,000 subscribers. These acquisitions were funded through a combination of cash
and the issuance of common stock. The consideration paid for these ISPs
consisted of $23,924,849 of cash and 1,446,231 shares of common stock.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We conducted no significant operations prior to March 31, 1999. The IPO and
the IPO Acquisitions closed on March 30, 1999. Activity that occurred on March
31, 1999 was not material to the results of operations for the quarter.
We reported a net loss of $48,517,000 or $2.89 per share, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 included $40,890,000 of non-cash amortization expense, net of
the related income tax benefit.
Cash flows from operations were $3,682,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.
COMBINED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following financial information for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 includes the consolidated results of operations of Onemain.com and the
combined historical results of operations for the IPO Acquisitions for the
period January 1, 1999 through March 30, 1999, the date of acquisition. For the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, the combined historical results of
operations of the IPO Acquisitions are included.
The financial information for the years ending December 31, 1996, 1997, and
1998 includes the combined historical results of operations of the IPO
Acquisitions.

COMBINED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
We incurred a combined operating loss of $56,597,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to a combined operating loss of $4,527,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The combined operating loss for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 included non-cash amortization expense of
$48,144,000, corporate-related expenses of $9,078,000, and equity compensation
expense of $2,469,000.
Total Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
were $69,517,000, compared to $39,760,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998, an increase of 74.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in the number of subscribers and acquisitions. Revenues related to the
Subsequent Acquisitions totaled $5,130,000, or 7.4% of total revenues. Total
subscribers at September 30, 1999 were approximately 561,000 compared to
approximately 279,000 at September 30, 1998, an increase of 101.1%. Of this
increase, approximately 122,000 subscribers were a result of the Subsequent
Acquisitions.
Access revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were
$64,916,000, compared to $36,346,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, an increase of 78.6%. The increase was primarily attributable to the
increase in subscribers discussed above.
Other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled
$4,601,000 compared to $3,414,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
an increase of 34.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to increased
installation fees and equipment sales.
Total costs of access and other revenues. Total costs of access and other
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $28,185,000, a 77.9%
increase from September 30, 1998's nine month total of $15,844,000. Of the
September 30, 1999 total, 6.2%, or $1,752,000, related to the Subsequent
Acquisitions. Stated as a percentage of revenues, the total costs of access and
other revenues increased to 40.5% from 39.8% for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This increase is attributable to the
initial costs associated with the increase in our number of access points in
1999.
Operations and customer support. Operations and customer support expenses
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 increased to $9,733,000, a
55.3% increase from $6,268,000 for the same period in 1998. Approximately
$930,000, or 9.6% of the September 30, 1999 total, was from the Subsequent
Acquisitions. As a percentage of revenues, operations and customer support
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 decreased to 14.0% from
15.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease is a result of
our ability to leverage this relatively fixed cost over a larger subscriber
base.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 increased to $10,039,000, or 107.7%, from $4,833,000, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. Of the September 30, 1999 total, $760,000,
or 7.6% related to the Subsequent Acquisitions. Sales and marketing expense as a
percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased to
14.4% from
34
<PAGE>
12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase is the result
of increased marketing promotions during 1999.
General and administrative. General and administrative costs increased
66.2% to $22,499,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from
$13,534,000 for the same period in 1998. Approximately $1,000,000, or 4.4%, of
the general and administrative costs as of September 30, 1999 were from the
Subsequent Acquisitions. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative
costs for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 remained relatively
constant.
Amortization. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 totaled $48,144,000 compared to $653,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. This increase is attributable to the increase in goodwill
and customer lists from the IPO Acquisitions and Subsequent Acquisitions.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 totaled $5,157,000 compared to $3,155,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. Depreciation from the Subsequent Acquisitions totaled
$678,000, or 13.1% of the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. The
increase is the result of increased capital expenditures resulting from our
continuing effort to improve our infrastructure to support our continued growth.
COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1997
Total Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 were
$56.687,000, a 112.4% increase from the $26,686,000 for the same period in 1997.
The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of
subscribers.
Cost of access and other revenues. Cost of access and other revenues
increased from $11,127,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $22,787,000
for the year ended December 31, 1998. This 104.8% increase was primarily the
result of the increased costs associated with adding capacity to service new
subscribers. Cost of access and other revenues as a percentage of revenues
decreased from 41.7% in 1997 to 40.2% in 1998, primarily as a result of existing
excess capacity being used to service new subscribers.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses, which include operations and
customer support, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses,
increased 120.5% to $34,025,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$15,433,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. This increase is primarily a
result of hiring additional customer support, technical support and
administrative personnel. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
increased from 57.8% in 1997 to 60.0% in 1998.
COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO COMBINED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1996
Total Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997
increased 80.8% to $26,686,000 from the year-end total of $14,758,000 for
December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the
number of subscribers.
Cost of access and other revenues. Cost of access and other revenues for
the year ended December 31, 1997 totaled $11,127,000, an increase of 68.2% from
the 1996 year-end total of $6,615,000, primarily as a result of the increased
costs associated with adding capacity to service new subscribers. Stated as a
percentage of revenues, cost of access and other revenues decreased from 44.8%
in 1996 to 41.7% in 1997, primarily as a result of existing excess capacity
being used to service new subscribers.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses, which include operations and
customer support, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses,
increased to $15,433,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of
22.3% from the same period in 1996. This increase was primarily a result of
hiring additional customer support, technical support and administrative
personnel. For the year, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased from 85.5% in 1996 to 57.8% in 1997, primarily as a result of
spreading the cost of existing personnel over a growing subscriber base.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 1999, our combined cash and cash equivalents balance
was $47,191,000, compared with $172,000 at December 31, 1998. This increase is
mainly attributable to the receipt of $190,622,000 of net proceeds from the IPO,
and $1,941,000 from exercises of common stock options, offset by the payment of
the aggregate cash portion of the purchase price of the IPO Acquisitions and
Subsequent Acquisitions of $108,734,000, net of cash acquired, and the repayment
of $7,537,000 of debt assumed in the IPO Acquisitions and the Subsequent
Acquisitions and the investment of $25,230,000 of marketable securities. In
addition, we earned net interest income of $2,057,000. At the closing of the IPO
Acquisitions and the Subsequent Acquisitions, we retired substantially all of
the acquired companies' debt obligations except to the extent such obligations
related to capitalized leases.
Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 1999, we issued a
second promissory note in the amount of $500,000 to one of our founders to fund
the payment of pre-offering expenses. During the nine months ended September 30,
1999, the founders' notes and accrued interest, in the aggregate of $1,021,000,
were paid in full.
We expect our capital expenditures to increase as our operations continue
to expand. We anticipate that financial resources will be utilized to acquire
additional communications equipment and improvements to technology that will
allow our networks to grow to support new and acquired subscribers, build a
network operations center and integrate billing and financial reporting systems.
We expect to pay out additional consideration under earn-out arrangements
related to our acquisitions. The payment of additional consideration is
contingent upon meeting specified operational and earning margin requirements.
The amount of the additional consideration will be payable in either cash or
common stock at our option, in most cases. Through December 31, 1999, we
estimate the amount of additional consideration to be approximately $4,370,000,
net of purchase price adjustments. These amounts may be adjusted further in
future quarters.
We are currently pursuing, and intend to continue to pursue additional
acquisitions, which are expected to be funded through a combination of cash and
our issuance of common stock. To the extent we elect to pursue acquisitions for
significant amounts of cash, we are likely to require additional sources of
financing to fund these non-operating cash needs. We may raise additional equity
or debt capital to finance potential acquisitions and/or to fund accelerated
growth. Any significant acquisitions or increases in our growth rate could
materially affect our operating and financial expectations and results,
liquidity and capital resources.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our results
of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
The year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. As a result, date-sensitive
software may recognize a date using '00' as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in system failures or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among others, a temporary inability to
process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar business activities. On
and after January 1, 2000 through the date hereof, we have not experienced any
material disruptions related to the year 2000 problem, nor do we expect to in
the future.
Program execution and oversight. We established a year 2000 program office
and a program manager to coordinate appropriate activity and to help develop and
implement a year 2000 program. Our year 2000 program consisted of the following
phases: (1) project planning and inventory of our hardware, software and service
providers, (2) assessment of potential year 2000 issues, (3) development of
remedies to address the year 2000 issues discovered during the assessment phase,
(4) execution and testing of the remedies, and (5) the development of
contingency plans to address potential year 2000 failures. In executing our year
2000 program, we utilized both internal and external resources. We have
completed all phases of our year 2000 program.
36
<PAGE>
During the second quarter of 1999, we entered into an agreement with
Kenan/Arbor Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lucent Technologies, to help
deliver a single, fully integrated billing system for our growing customer base.
Based upon representations made by the supplier of the new billing system, we
believe the billing system is year 2000 compliant and expect that it will be
implemented in three of our ISPs by March 31, 2000. We plan to complete the
implementation of the new billing system for the remainder of the ISPs by the
end of 2000 and have developed a contingency plan to address any year 2000
problems in the billing systems of these ISPs that will be implemented after
1999.
During the third quarter of 1999, we entered into an agreement with
PeopleSoft for a fully integrated financial system. Based upon representations
made by the supplier of the financial system, we believe the financial system is
year 2000 compliant, and expect the financial system to be implemented in the
majority of our ISPs by the end of 2000. We have developed a contingency plan to
address any year 2000 problems in the financial systems of these ISPs that will
be implemented after 1999.
We have not independently verified the year 2000 assurances received from
the third-party suppliers of the financial system or the billing system.
Assessment. Also during the third quarter of 1999, we hired an outside
consulting firm to assist in analyzing and inventorying the hardware and
software applications for each of our ISPs to determine how these applications
might be affected by the year 2000 problem. All of our ISPs completed internal
testing of their software and computer systems to determine whether they are
year 2000 compliant and no material errors or omissions were found. Of course,
no year 2000 testing can be fully comprehensive or simulate all possible
circumstances of actual use and the ability of other products that may be used
in conjunction with the applications, including any client products, to exchange
date data consistently with the applications. Additionally, many of our ISPs
received assurances from their major vendors to assess their year 2000
readiness, however, our ISPs have not independently verified the year 2000
assurances received from these major vendors.
Costs. From the inception of our year 2000 project through December 31,
1999, we incurred pre-tax expense of approximately $400,000 in connection with
the year 2000 project. We funded the cost of the year 2000 program from cash
flows. We currently believe there will be no future costs associated with the
year 2000 project that will have a material effect on our financial condition,
liquidity or results of operations. There may, however, be interruptions or
other limitations of financial and operating systems' functionality, and we may
incur additional costs to avoid these interruptions or limitations.
Risks. To the extent that the ISPs rely on external vendors or third-party
network service providers with year 2000 exposure, any failure by these vendors
or service providers to resolve any year 2000 issues on a timely basis or in a
manner that is compatible with our systems could adversely affect our ability to
provide services to our subscribers. The inability to provide Internet access
could have an adverse impact on one or more of our ISPs or us as a whole.
Although some of our ISPs have investigated the readiness of their electrical,
heating and telephone providers, most of them have not contacted these providers
to determine year 2000 readiness.
Our expectations about future costs associated with the year 2000 issue are
limited by uncertainties that could cause actual results to have a greater
financial impact than currently anticipated. Factors that could influence the
amount and timing of future costs include:
o our success in identifying systems and programs that contain two-digit
year codes;
o the nature and amount of programming required to upgrade or replace each
of the affected programs;
o the rate and magnitude of related labor and consulting costs; and,
o our success in addressing year 2000 issues with third-parties with whom
we do business.
Our failure to correct a material year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, normal business activities or operations.
Presently, however, we perceive that our most likely worst-case scenario related
to the year 2000 is associated with potential concerns with third-party services
or products. Specifically, we are heavily dependent on a significant number of
third-party vendors to provide both network services and equipment. A
significant year 2000-related disruption of the network services or equipment
provided to us by third-party vendors could cause customers to consider seeking
alternate
37
<PAGE>
providers or cause an unmanageable burden on customer service and technical
support, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our results of
operations, liquidity and financial condition. We are not presently aware of any
vendor-related year 2000 issue that is likely to result in this type of
disruption. Furthermore, our business depends on the continued operation of, and
widespread access to, the Internet. Although there is inherent uncertainty in
the year 2000 issue, we expect that as we progress further into the year 2000,
the level of uncertainty about the impact of the year 2000 issue will be reduced
significantly.
Contingency plans. We established a Contingency Plan Committee to monitor
and address the development of contingency plans. Since no material disruptions
were encountered, and none are expected in the future, we have not had to
implement any contingency plan. We are currently unable at this time to fully
assess our risks and determine what contingency plans, if any, will need to be
implemented. As we progress in our year 2000 program and identify specific risk
areas, we intend to timely implement appropriate remedial actions and
contingency plans.
The estimates and conclusions included in this discussion contain
forward-looking statements and are based on management's best estimates of
future events. Our expectations about risks, future costs and the timely
completion of our year 2000 modifications may turn out to be incorrect and any
variance from these expectations could cause actual results to differ materially
from what has been discussed above. Factors that could influence risks, amount
of future costs and the effective timing of remediation efforts include our
success in identifying and correcting potential year 2000 issues and the ability
of third-parties to appropriately address their year 2000 issues.
The foregoing year 2000 discussion and the information contained herein is
provided as a 'Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure' as defined in the Year 2000
Information and Readiness Disclosure Act of 1998 enacted on October 19, 1998.

which is comprised solely of independent directors. The current members of the
audit committee are Messrs. Eisenmann and Kaufmann. The responsibilities of the
audit committee include:
o recommending to our board of directors the independent public accountants
to conduct the annual audit of our books and records;

non-employee directors are made under either our 1999 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan or our 1999 Plan.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We were founded in August 1998 and had no significant operations during
1998. The following table presents information concerning the annual and
long-term compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and our four other most
highly compensated executive officers who received total compensation in excess
of $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. We refer to these individuals
as our 'named executive officers.'

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
We have Senior Management Agreements with each of Messrs. Smith, Read and
Lefever and Ms. O'Leary. The agreements of Messrs. Smith and Lefever each have
an initial term of three years and will be extended for two additional years
unless we or the employee elects to terminate the agreement within 60 days of
the third anniversary of the date of employment. The agreement between us and
Mr. Read has an initial term of four years and will be extended for an
additional two years unless we or Mr. Read terminate the agreement within 60
days of the fourth anniversary of the date of employment. The agreement between
us and Ms. O'Leary has an initial term of three years and may be extended if
agreed to in writing by both us and Ms. O'Leary. Under these agreements, these
employees receive an annual base salary that may be increased by our board of
directors based on performance objectives they establish, and an annual bonus
based upon our performance.
If, during the term of one of these agreements, we terminate the employee's
employment without cause or the employee terminates his or her employment for
good reason, the employee will be entitled to receive his or her base salary and
all employee benefits for a period of one year from the date of the termination
of employment.
Under the terms of these agreements, these employees have agreed to
preserve the confidentiality and the proprietary nature of all information
relating to OneMain.com, our ISPs and our business during the term of the
agreement and for five years after the term of the agreement ends. In addition,
each of these employees has agreed to non-competition provisions that will be in
effect during the term of his or her agreement and for two years after the term
of the agreement ends (one year for Mr. Read) and to non-solicitation provisions
that will be in effect during the term of his or her agreement and for two years
after the term of the agreement ends (one year for Mr. Read).
1999 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
The OneMain.com 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, the stock option
plan, authorizes the grant of:
o stock options;
o stock appreciation rights;
o restricted stock;
o deferred stock;
o unrestricted stock;
o dividend equivalents;
43
<PAGE>
o other stock-based awards;
o performance awards; and
o annual incentive awards to provide incentives to attract and retain
executive officers, directors, employees and other key personnel.
The compensation committee of our board of directors administers the stock
option plan. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the stock
option plan is currently 5,000,000. In the future, we may increase the
authorized number of shares available for issuance under the stock option plan.
In each fiscal year, any person who is eligible to participate may not be
granted awards relating to more than 1,000,000 shares. In addition, the maximum
amount that may be earned as an annual incentive award or other cash award in
any fiscal year by any one participant is $300,000 and the maximum amount that
may be earned as an incentive award or other cash award in respect of a
performance period by any one participant is $900,000. If and to the extent that
the committee determines that an award to be granted to a participant should
qualify as 'performance-based compensation' for purposes of Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code, the grant, exercise and/or settlement of such award
will be contingent upon achievement of preestablished performance goals. The
performance goals shall be one or more of the following business criteria for
OneMain.com, on a consolidated basis, and/or its specified subsidiaries or
business units, except with respect to the total stockholder return and earnings
per share criteria:
(1) total stockholder return;
(2) total stockholder return as compared to total return, on a comparable
basis, of a publicly available index such as, but not limited to, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index;
(3) net income;
(4) pretax earnings;
(5) earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and
amortization;
(6) pretax operating earnings after interest expense and before bonuses,
service fees and extraordinary or special items;
(7) operating margin;
(8) earnings per share;
(9) return on equity;
(10) return on capital;
(11) return on investment;
(12) operating earnings;
(13) working capital; and
(14) ratio of debt to stockholders' equity.
Stock options. Our stock option plan permits the granting of options to
purchase shares of common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options
under the Internal Revenue Code and options that do not qualify as incentive
stock options. The exercise price of each option will be determined by the
committee but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common
stock on the date of grant.
The term of each option will be fixed by the committee and may not exceed
10 years from the date of grant. The committee will determine at what time or
times each option may be exercised and the period of time, if any, after
retirement, death, disability or termination of employment during which options
may be exercised. Options may be made exercisable in installments. The
exercisability of options may be accelerated by the committee.
To exercise an option, the optionee must pay the exercise price in full
either in cash or cash equivalents or by delivery of shares of common stock
already owned by the optionee. The exercise price may also be delivered by a
broker under irrevocable instructions to the broker from the optionee.
Restricted stock. The committee may also award shares of common stock to
participants. These stock awards may be conditioned on the achievement of
performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a specified
restricted period. If the performance goals and any other restrictions are not
attained, the participants will forfeit their restricted shares. The purchase
price of restricted shares of common stock are determined by the executive
committee.
44
<PAGE>
Deferred stock. The committee may also award deferred stock units, which
are ultimately payable in the form of unrestricted shares of common stock. A
deferred stock award may be conditioned or restricted in whatever manner the
committee may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the
achievement of performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a
specified restricted period. If the performance goals and other restrictions are
not attained, the participants will forfeit their deferred stock units. During
the deferral period, the deferred stock units may be credited with dividend
equivalent rights.
Unrestricted stock. The committee may also grant shares of common stock at
no cost or for a purchase price determined by the committee which are free from
any restrictions under the stock option plan. Unrestricted shares of common
stock may be issued to participants in recognition of past services or other
valid consideration, and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation to be paid
to participants.
Performance stock awards. The committee may also grant performance stock
awards to participants entitling the participants to receive shares of common
stock upon the achievement of performance goals and other conditions determined
by the committee.
Dividend equivalent rights. The committee may grant dividend equivalent
rights entitling the recipient to receive credits for dividends that would be
paid if the recipient had held a specified number of shares of common stock.
Dividend equivalent rights may be granted as a component of another award or as
a freestanding award. Dividend equivalent rights credited under the stock option
plan may be paid currently or be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of
common stock, and may accrue additional dividend equivalent rights after
reinvestment at fair market value at the time of deemed reinvestment. Dividend
equivalent rights may be settled in cash, common stock or a combination of cash
and shares, in a single installment or installments, as specified in the award.
Awards payable in cash on a deferred basis may provide for crediting and payment
of interest equivalents.
Stock appreciation rights. The committee may grant a right to receive a
number of shares or, in the discretion of the committee, an amount in cash or a
combination of shares and cash, based on the increase in the fair market value
of the shares underlying the right during a stated period specified by the
committee. The committee may approve the grant of these stock appreciation
rights related or unrelated to stock options. Upon exercise of a stock
appreciation right that is related to a stock option granted, the holder of the
related option will surrender the option for the number of shares as to which
the stock appreciation right is exercised and will receive payment of an amount
computed as provided in the stock appreciation right award. Generally, a stock
appreciation right granted in connection with a stock option will be exercisable
at the time or times, and only to the extent that, the related stock option is
exercisable, and will not be transferable except to the extent that the related
option may be transferable.
Performance and annual incentive awards. Our stock option plan authorizes
the committee to grant multiyear and annual incentive awards based upon
achievement of pre-established performance goals, including awards that qualify
as 'performance-based compensation' for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code.
The grant, exercise and/or settlement of a performance award may be made
contingent upon achievement of pre-established performance goals. Achievement of
performance goals will be measured over a performance period of up to 10 years,
as specified by the committee.
The amount of an incentive award is based upon the achievement of a
performance goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria
described above during the given performance period specified by the committee.
The committee may specify the amount of the incentive award as a percentage of
these business criteria, a percentage in excess of a threshold amount or as
another amount which need not bear a strictly mathematical relationship to these
business criteria.
Other stock-based awards. The executive committee is authorized to grant to
participants other awards that may be based on or related to our common stock,
including:
o convertible or exchangeable debt securities;
o other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares;
o purchase rights for shares;
45
<PAGE>
o incentive awards with value and payment contingent upon performance; and
o incentive awards valued by reference to the performance of specified
subsidiaries or business units.
1999 PLAN
The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the OneMain.com
1999 Plan is 3,000,000. The 1999 Plan is substantially similar to the stock
option plan, except that it does not provide for the following:
(1) Grants of incentive stock options;
(2) Grants of awards intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code as performance based awards; and
(3) Formula grants for non-employee directors, although discretionary
grants may be made to non-employee directors.
In addition, the 1999 Plan did not require stockholder approval.
1999 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The OneMain.com 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible
employees to purchase shares of common stock at a discount. During purchase
periods, we will withhold amounts through payroll deductions for eligible
employees who elect to participate in this plan. At the end of each purchase
period, we will use accumulated payroll deductions to purchase stock at a price
equal to no less than 85% of the market price on behalf of our eligible
employees who are participating in the plan. We have reserved 500,000 shares of
common stock for issuance under this plan.
401(K) PLAN
Effective January 1, 2000, we adopted a new 401(k) retirement plan, a
defined contribution plan intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code. In general, employees of OneMain.com and its subsidiaries are
eligible to become plan participants. Participants may make pre-tax
contributions to the plan, subject to a statutorily prescribed annual limit.
Each participant is fully vested in his or her contributions and the investment
earnings. OneMain.com may make matching contributions to the plan. Contributions
by the participants or OneMain.com to the plan, and the income earned on these
contributions, are generally not taxable to the participants until withdrawn.
Contributions by OneMain.com are generally deductible when made. Participant and
company contributions are held in trust as required by law. Individual
participants may direct the trustee to invest their accounts in authorized
investment alternatives. Currently, a few of OneMain.com's subsidiaries maintain
their own 401(k) plans for the benefits of the subsidiaries' employees.
OneMain.com intends to merge these subsidiary level 401(k) plans into the new
OneMain.com 401(k) plan beginning in the first quarter of 2000.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
On August 19, 1998, in connection with the formation of OneMain.com,
Stephen E. Smith and Jonathan J. Ledecky, two of our founders, purchased shares
of common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per share in the following amounts:
o Mr. Smith purchased 1,500,000 shares of common stock for $15,000. Mr.
Smith subsequently transferred 140,000 of these shares to other persons.
o Jonathan J. Ledecky purchased 2,000,000 shares of common stock for
$20,000.
Messrs. Smith and Ledecky have agreed that they will not, without our prior
written consent, transfer any of the shares of common stock they own, except for
transfers made as part of a pledge, hedging or similar transaction until March
31, 2000. After March 31, 2000, these restrictions lapse according to the
following schedule:
o 50% of their shares may be transferred after March 30, 2000;
o 75% of their shares may be transferred after September 30, 2000; and
o all of their shares may be transferred after March 30, 2001.
On January 1, 1999, M. Cristina Dolan, an Executive Vice President and our
Chief Content and Strategic Alliances Officer purchased 100,000 shares of common
stock for $5,000, or $0.05 per share.
On November 25, 1998 and February 4, 1999, we issued promissory notes to
Mr. Ledecky for two loans of $500,000 each. We used the proceeds of these loans
to pay IPO costs. We paid off both of these loans, including accrued interest
thereon, using some of the proceeds of our IPO.
On December 21, 1998, we entered into an agreement with SuperNet and its
shareholders to acquire all the shares of SuperNet simultaneously with the
closing of our IPO. Mr. Lefever had an 18.3% interest in SuperNet. On February
18, 1999, we entered into an agreement with TGF Technologies and its
shareholders to acquire all of the shares of TGF Technologies simultaneously
with the closing of our IPO. Ella Fontanals de Cisneros, who is one of our
directors, controlled the corporations that owned approximately 98% of TGF
Technologies. In exchange for their interests in these ISPs, we paid Mr. Lefever
and Mrs. Cisneros, directly or indirectly through entities they control, the
following consideration:

The options vest one-third on each of the sixth, seventh and eighth
anniversaries of March 30, 1999, but may vest sooner based on performance-based
criteria. Mr. Lefever may receive additional consideration in the form of cash
or stock, at our election, and may also receive additional stock options.
Donald R. Kaufmann, who is one of our directors, is an executive officer of
D&E Communications, which indirectly owned 50% of SuperNet. Mr. Kaufmann did not
receive any consideration, other than as a shareholder of D&E Communications, in
connection with our acquisition of SuperNet.
We have entered into Senior Management Agreements with each of our
executive officers and with Mr. Lefever. For the details of these agreements,
please refer to 'Management--Employment agreements' above.
Pursuant to a Separation Agreement and Release, we and Mr. Lyons agreed
that Mr. Lyons would receive a severance payment of $187,500, less withholding
taxes, payable upon execution of the agreement. In accordance with Mr. Lyons'
Senior Management Agreement, the confidentiality, non-competition and non-
solicitation provisions remain in force until two years following the date of
the agreement.
Pursuant to a Separation Agreement and Release, we and Mr. Shay agreed that
Mr. Shay would receive a severance payment of $162,500, less withholding taxes,
payable over a one year term. In addition, Mr. Shay will receive a $50,000 bonus
payable in January 2000. In accordance with Mr. Shay's Senior Management
Agreement, the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions remain in force
until two years following the date of the agreement and the confidentiality
provisions remain in force until five years following the date of the agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $0.001 per share. As of January 28, 2000, there were 24,934,906 shares of
our common stock outstanding, held by 491 holders of record. We do not have any
outstanding shares of preferred stock.
The following is a description of our capital stock.
COMMON STOCK
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. Each
stockholder of record is entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of our
common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter properly submitted to the
stockholders for their vote. After satisfaction of the dividend rights of
holders of preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to any dividend
declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for this
purpose, and, after the payment of liquidation preferences to holders of
preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata
basis, all our remaining assets available for distribution to the stockholders
in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Holders of common
stock do not have any preemptive right to become subscribers or purchasers of
additional shares of any class of our capital stock. The outstanding shares of
common stock are, and the shares of common stock offered in this offering will
be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights,
preferences and privileges of holders of common stock may be adversely affected
by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we
may designate and issue in the future.
PREFERRED STOCK
Our certificate of incorporation allows us to issue without stockholder
approval preferred stock having rights senior to those of the common stock. Our
board of directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue
up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any series of preferred
stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of
redemption and liquidation preferences, and to fix the number of shares
constituting any series and the designations of these series.
Our issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control. Our issuance of preferred stock could decrease
the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of
common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting
rights, of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could
also have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock. We
currently have no plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of
incorporation provides that our directors shall not be personally liable to us
or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability:
o for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
stockholders;
o for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
o under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, relating to
unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or
o for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
benefit.
As a result of this provision, we and our stockholders may be unable to
obtain monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her duty of care.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for the indemnification
of our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, except that we will indemnify a
49
<PAGE>
director or officer in connection with an action initiated by that person only
if the action was authorized by our board of directors. The indemnification
provided under our certificate of incorporation and the bylaws includes the
right to be paid expenses in advance of any proceeding for which indemnification
may be had, provided that the payment of these expenses incurred by a director
or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may be made only
upon delivery to us of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer
to repay all amounts paid in advance if it is ultimately determined that the
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. Under our bylaws, if we
do not pay a claim for indemnification within 60 days after we have received a
written claim, the director or officer may bring an action to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim and, if successful, the director or officer also will be
entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting the action to recover these
unpaid amounts.
Under our bylaws, we have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or
agents, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee,
partner or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, against any liability
asserted against the person or incurred by the person in any of these
capacities, or arising out of the person's fulfilling one of these capacities,
and related expenses, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify the
person against the claim under the provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. We have purchased director and officer liability insurance on
behalf of our directors and officers.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that are
intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the
composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by our
board of directors. In addition provisions of Delaware law may hinder or delay
an attempted takeover of OneMain.com other than through negotiation with our
board of directors. These provisions could have the effect of discouraging
attempts to acquire us or remove incumbent management even if some or a majority
of our stockholders believe this action to be in their best interest, including
attempts that might result in the stockholders' receiving a premium over the
market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
Classified board of directors; removal; vacancies. Our board of directors
is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms.
The classification of directors has the effect of making it more difficult for
stockholders to change the composition of the board of directors in a relatively
short period of time. Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors
may be removed only for cause. In addition, vacancies and newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the size of the board of directors
may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then
in office, even if they do not constitute a quorum, or by a sole remaining
director. These provisions would prevent stockholders from removing incumbent
directors without cause and filling the resulting vacancies with their own
nominees.
Advance notice provisions for stockholder proposals and stockholder
nominations of directors. Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure with
regard to the nomination, other than by the board of directors, of candidates
for election to the board of directors and with regard to matters to be brought
before an annual meeting of our stockholders by a stockholder. For nominations
and other business to be brought properly before an annual meeting by a
stockholder, the stockholder must deliver notice to us not less than 60 days nor
more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
meeting. Separate provisions based on public notice by us specify how this
advance notice requirement operates if the date of the annual meeting is
advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from the
anniversary date. The stockholder's notice must set forth specified information
regarding the stockholder and its holdings, as well as background information
regarding any director nominee, together with that person's written consent to
being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if
elected, and a brief description of any business desired to be brought before
the meeting, the reasons for conducting the business at the meeting and any
material interest of the stockholder in the business proposed. In the case of a
special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors,
nominations by a stockholder may be made only by delivery to us, no later than
10 days following the day on which public announcement of the special meeting is
made, a notice that complies with the above requirements. Although our bylaws do
50
<PAGE>
not give our board of directors any power to approve or disapprove stockholder
nominations for the election of directors or any other business desired by
stockholders to be conducted at an annual meeting, the bylaws:
o may have the effect of precluding a nomination for the election of
directors or precluding the conduct of business at a particular annual
meeting if the proper procedures are not followed; or
o may discourage or deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of
proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of OneMain.com even if the conduct of this solicitation or
the attempt to obtain control might be beneficial to OneMain.com and our
stockholders.
Special stockholders' meetings. Under our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws, special meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise prescribed by
statute, may be called only:
o by the board of directors or by our Chairman or President; or
o by the holders of at least a majority of the securities of OneMain.com
outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
Limitations on stockholder action by written consent. Our certificate of
incorporation also provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at
a stockholders' meeting may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and
without a vote, if the action is taken by persons who would be entitled to vote
at a meeting and who hold shares having voting power equal to not less than the
minimum number of votes of each class or series that would be necessary to
authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares of each class or
series entitled to vote were present and voted.
Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition to the
foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we are
subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law. Section 203 prohibits publicly held Delaware corporations from engaging in
a 'business combination' with an 'interested stockholder' for a period of three
years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
A 'business combination' includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an
'interested stockholder' is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the
corporation's voting stock. These provisions could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of OneMain.com or reducing the price
that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common
stock.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company.

RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE
Affiliates of entities that we acquire who do not become affiliates of our
company may not resell common stock registered under the registration statement
to which this prospectus relates unless the resale is made:
o pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
covering the shares; or
o in compliance with Rule 145 under the Securities Act or another
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.
Generally, Rule 145 permits these affiliates to sell their shares
immediately following the acquisition in compliance with specified volume
limitations and manner of sale requirements under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act. In general, these limitations and requirements permit a stockholder to
sell, within any three-month period, a number of these restricted shares that
does not exceed the greater of:
o one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock; or
o the average weekly trading volume in the common stock on the Nasdaq Stock
Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale.
In addition, persons who become our affiliates must comply with the
restrictions and requirements of Rule 144, other than the one-year holding
period requirement, to sell shares of common stock which are not restricted
securities.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We will offer and issue our common stock from time to time in connection
with our acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities. We expect that
the terms of the acquisitions involving the issuance of securities covered by
this prospectus will be determined by direct negotiations with owners or
controlling persons of the businesses, assets or securities that we will
acquire. We will not pay underwriting discounts or commissions, although we may
pay a finder's fee from time to time with respect to specific mergers or
acquisitions. Any person receiving these fees may be deemed to be an underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act.

INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect
to the acquisitions by OneMain.com, Inc. (the 'Company' or 'OneMain.com') of the
outstanding capital stock of D&E SuperNet, Inc. ('SuperNet'), SunLink, Inc.
('SunLink'), LebaNet, Inc. ('LebaNet'), SouthWind Internet Access, Inc.
('SouthWind'), Horizon Internet Technologies, Inc. ('Horizon'), United States
Internet, Inc. ('United States Internet'), Internet Partners of America, LC
('IPA'), ZoomNet, Inc. ('ZoomNet'), Palm.Net, USA, Inc. ('Palm.Net'), Internet
Access Group, Inc. ('IAG'), Midwest Internet, L.L.C. ('Midwest Internet'),
Internet Solutions, LLC ('Internet Solutions'), FGInet, Inc. ('FGI'),
Superhighway, Inc. d/b/a Indynet ('Indynet'), Lightspeed Net, Inc.
('Lightspeed'), JPS.Net Corporation ('JPS') and TGF Technologies, Inc. ('TGF').
These acquisitions occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Company's
initial public offering, (collectively, the 'IPO Acquisitions'). The following
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements also give effect to the
acquisitions by the Company subsequent to its IPO of the outstanding capital
stock of The Grid, Inc. ('The Grid'), The Internet Ramp (a division of Rapid
Data, Inc.) ('Internet Ramp'), Uplink, Inc. ('Uplink'), Cape Internet ('Cape
Internet'), PennCom Internet Company, LLC ('PennCom') and Rural Connections
('Rural Connections'), as well as the outstanding capital stock or assets of 5
other Internet service providers (ISPs), (collectively, the 'Post IPO
Acquisitions'). The IPO Acquisitions and the Post IPO Acquisitions were
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the
acquisition of 4 ISPs that were consummated subsequent to September 30, 1999
assuming they had occurred on September 30, 1999. The unaudited pro forma
combined statements of operations and cash flows reflect the operating results
and cash flows of the ISPs for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999, and gives effect to these acquisitions as
if they had occurred on January 1, 1998. The Company and all the acquired ISPs
have fiscal years ending December 31.
The Company has preliminarily analyzed the additional expense that it
expects to incur from increases (decreases) in salaries payable to the owners of
the ISPs pursuant to contractual requirements and has reflected these amounts in
the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations. The unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Statement of Operations does not reflect potential cost savings.
The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and
certain assumptions and may be revised as additional information becomes
available, including the actual number of subscribers on the closing dates of
the acquisitions. The pro forma financial data do not purport to represent what
the Company's financial position or results of operations would actually have
been if such transactions in fact had occurred on those dates and are not
necessarily representative of the Company's financial position or results of
operations for any future period. Because the ISPs were not under common control
or management, historical combined results may not be comparable to, or
indicative of, future performance. The pro forma financial statements do not
include adjustments to conform the accounting policies of the individual ISPs as
the impact of conforming is not expected to be material. The unaudited pro forma
combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--GENERAL
OneMain.com, Inc. was founded in August 1998 as a national consolidator and
integrator of Internet service providers located outside of large metropolitan
areas.
The historical financial statements reflect the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the Company and the ISPs and were derived from
the Company's and the ISPs' financial statements as indicated. The unaudited pro
forma combined financial statements include the results of operations and cash
flows of the ISPs for the year ended December 31, 1998 and as of and for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1999, with the exception of Rural
Connections which is as of and for the ten months ended October 31, 1999.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITIONS SUBSEQUENT TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
The Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in 4 ISPs
subsequent to September 30, 1999 and the acquisitions were accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting.
The following table sets forth the consideration paid (the 'Purchase
Consideration') (a) in cash and (b) in shares of common stock to the owners of
the 4 ISPs acquired subsequent to September 30, 1999, and the allocation of the
consideration to the fair values of the net assets acquired and resulting
goodwill. The total Purchase Consideration does not reflect contingent
consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in the definitive
agreements for the ISPs. These arrangements provide for the Company to pay
additional consideration, contingent upon certain operational and earnings
margin requirements. The amount of the additional consideration will be payable
in either cash or the Company's common stock at the option of the Company. Any
contingent payments will be treated as additional purchase price when paid and
are anticipated to be allocated to goodwill.
The purchase price has been allocated to the acquired company's historical
assets and liabilities based on their respective carrying values, as these
carrying values are deemed to represent fair market values of these assets and
liabilities. Additionally, adjustments have been made pursuant to the Definitive
Purchase Agreements for debt and other liabilities not assumed, or to be repaid
upon consummation of the acquisitions, transaction costs and brokers
commissions, and the establishment of deferred income tax liabilities related to
the transaction for purposes of determining the excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The allocation of the purchase
price is considered preliminary and is based on estimates, available information
and certain assumptions and may be revised as additional information becomes
available, including the actual number of subscribers on the date of
acquisition. The Company does not anticipate that the final allocation of
purchase price will differ significantly from that presented herein. Contingent
consideration payments, if any, will be accounted for as additional purchase
price.
The following table reflects the consideration paid in cash and shares of
common stock, the allocation of the consideration to net assets acquired and
resulting intangible assets and goodwill as of September 30, 1999, except for
Rural Connections which was as of October 31, 1999. For purposes of computing
the purchase price for accounting purposes, the value of shares was determined
based on the average closing price for the ten business days prior to the two
business days prior to and including the closing date.

net assets acquired of $60,078,118 and was allocated to goodwill

The following explanations relate to Pro Forma adjustments on Unaudited Pro
Forma adjustments on the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
(a) Reflects the increase in salaries to the owners and other employees of
the ISPs of $558,587 as scheduled from the employment agreements that
each of the individuals entered into with the Company, offset by the
reduction of expenses of $3,610,508 for a non-recurring charge
(discussed below).
The pro forma adjustment for compensation is shown solely as a
result of changed circumstances that exist following the consummation
of the acquisitions. The information is considered necessary for the
reader to realistically assess the impact of the acquisitions. The
changes in compensation by entity are as follows:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 DETAIL OF ACQUISITIONS--(CONTINUED)
For the IPO Acquisitions, pursuant to the terms of employment
agreements which were entered into upon consummation of the
acquisitions, the owners of the ISPs are eligible for performance-based
bonuses. Bonuses under the employment agreements will be awarded based
upon substantial improvement in the operating performance of both the
ISPs and the Company. Whether the bonuses provided for under the new
employment agreements will be earned cannot be determined at this time
and therefore are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments. If bonuses
are earned, compensation expense would increase. For Post IPO
Acquisitions, the bonus amounts were included in the compensation
differential calculated above to the extent the bonus amounts were
stated in the employment agreements. The $3,610,508 non-recurring charge
primarily consists of compensation expense related to United States
Internet's stock appreciation rights which terminated under the terms of
the agreement upon the change of control. The adjustment is equal to the
charge recorded by United States Internet during 1998. The related
liability is not part of the purchase price paid by OneMain.com because
the liability was retained by the former shareholders of United States
Internet. Such information is considered necessary to realistically
assess the impact of the transaction.
(b) Reflects the amortization of goodwill and customer lists to be
recorded as a result of all the acquisitions over a 3-year estimated
life for goodwill and customer lists.
(c) Reflects the reduction in non-recurring interest expense resulting
from the repayment of outstanding debt or debt not assumed by the
Company.
(d) Reflects the incremental provision for federal and state income taxes
assuming all entities were subject to federal and state income tax and
relating, to the other statements of operations' adjustments and for
income taxes on S Corporation income, assuming a corporate income tax
rate of 40% and the non-deductibility of goodwill. The pro forma
combined benefit for income taxes differs from the expected federal
benefit based upon statutory rates principally because of the
amortization of goodwill and the state tax benefit recorded.
(e) Pro Forma shares used in the calculation of Pro Forma basic and
diluted net loss per share include the historical weighted average
shares of the Company and shares of common stock used as consideration
to purchase the IPO Acquisitions and the Post IPO Acquisitions as if
all the acquisitions occurred January 1, 1998. Stock options
outstanding have been excluded from the calculation because their
effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4--UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
DETAIL OF ACQUISITIONS--(CONTINUED)
The following explanations relate to the Pro Forma adjustments on the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.
(a) Reflects the decrease in salaries to the owners and other employees of
the ISPs of $(762,851) as scheduled from the employment agreements
that each of the individuals entered into with the Company and a
reduction of expenses of $579,164 for a non-recurring charge
(discussed below).
The pro forma adjustment for compensation is shown solely as a
result of changed circumstances that exist following the consummation
of the acquisitions. The information is considered necessary for the
reader to realistically assess the impact of the acquisitions. The
changes in compensation by entity are as follows:

NOTE 4--UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
DETAIL OF ACQUISITIONS--(CONTINUED)
For the IPO Acquisitions, pursuant to the terms of employment
agreements which were entered into upon consummation of the
acquisitions, the owners of the ISPs are eligible for performance-based
bonuses. Bonuses under the employment agreements will be awarded based
upon substantial improvement in the operating performance of both the
ISPs and the Company. Whether the bonuses provided for under the new
employment agreements will be earned cannot be determined at this time
and therefore are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments. If bonuses
are earned, compensation expense would increase. For post IPO
Acquisitions, the bonus amounts were included in the compensation
differential calculated above to the extent the bonus amounts were
stated in the employment agreements.
The $579,164 non-recurring charge is compensation expense related
to United States Internet's stock appreciation rights which terminated
under the terms of the agreement upon the change of control. The
adjustment is equal to the charge recorded by United States Internet
during 1999. The related liability is not part of the purchase price
paid by OneMain.com because the liability was retained by the former
shareholders of United States Internet. Such information is considered
necessary to realistically assess the impact of the transaction.
(b) Reflects the amortization of goodwill and customer lists to be
recorded as a result of all the acquisitions over a 3-year estimated
life for goodwill and customer lists.
(c) Reflects the reduction in non-recurring interest expense resulting
from the repayment of outstanding debt or debt not assumed by the
Company.
(d) Reflects the incremental provision for federal and state income taxes
assuming all entities were subject to federal and state income tax and
relating, to the other statements of operations' adjustments and for
income taxes on S Corporation income, assuming a corporate income tax
rate of 40% and the non-deductibility of goodwill. The pro forma
OneMain.com, Inc. adjusted benefit for income taxes differs from the
expected federal benefit based upon statutory rates principally
because of the amortization of goodwill and the state tax benefit
recorded.
(e) Pro Forma shares used in the calculation of Pro Forma basic and
diluted net loss per share include the historical weighted average
shares of the Company and common stock used as consideration to
purchase the IPO Acquisitions and the Post IPO Acquisitions as if all
the acquisitions occurred January 1, 1999. Stock options outstanding
have been excluded from the calculation because their effect is
anti-dilutive.

(D) Other acquisitions reflect (1) pro forma cash flows of second tier asset and
stock acquisition entities by some of the original 17 Internet service
providers as if the acquisition consummated during the year ended December
31, 1998 had been consummated as of January 1, 1998 (see the notes to the
financial statements of the individual ISPs included elsewhere herein for a
more detailed analysis of these acquisitions) and (2) the pro forma cash
flows of 5 Internet service providers acquired by OneMain.com during 1999 as
if the acquisitions had been consummated on January 1, 1998. These 5
Internet service providers are not considered significant individually or in
the aggregate and therefore separate financial statements have not been
provided.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
OneMain.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), was founded in
August 1998 for the purpose of acquiring existing Internet service providers
(ISPs) serving individuals and businesses located predominantly outside of large
metropolitan areas. The Company intends to acquire, in separate transactions,
either the stock or assets of 17 ISPs (the Transactions) simultaneously upon the
closing of an initial public offering (the IPO) of its common stock and,
subsequent to the IPO, continue to acquire through merger or purchase similar
companies to expand its national operations.
The Company plans to consummate the Transactions in accordance with
acquisition agreements negotiated with the current owners of each of the ISPs.
The Transactions will be financed through the cash proceeds from the IPO or
through a combination of cash and common stock of the ISPs. The combined
purchase price payable by the Company consists of approximately $71.8 million in
cash and 7,133,200 shares of common stock. See Note 5.
The Company has conducted activities to date which have related to the IPO
and the Transactions. Operating expenses subsequent to inception through
December 31, 1998 consist primarily of the salary and related travel costs of
the Companys employees and certain professional services. Such costs have been
expensed. As of December 31, 1998, approximately $6,159,000 in professional fees
had been incurred in connection with the IPO, and the Company has capitalized
these costs as Deferred Offering Costs. These costs include legal and accounting
fees which will be offset against the proceeds of the IPO closing. The Company
is dependent upon the IPO to execute the pending Transactions. There is no
assurance that the pending Transactions discussed will be completed or that the
Company will be able to generate future operating revenues.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company considers the recorded costs of its financial assets and
liabilities, which consist primarily of cash, deferred charges, and accrued
expenses to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
Equipment and software are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to five years.
Customer List
The cost of customer lists acquired are being amortized over three years
using the straight line method.
Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the cost in excess of the fair market value of
identifiable net assets acquired, is being amortized using the straight-line
method over three years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121),
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Disposed of. The Company has
determined there has been no impairment to the carrying values of such assets
since inception.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue on
these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a straight-line
basis as the services are provided.
Other revenues include network installation, maintenance and consulting
services. These services are provided on a time-and-material basis and revenue
is recognized based upon time (at established rates) and other direct costs as
incurred.
Bartered Services
The Company participates in bartered services transactions with certain
radio stations, computer retailers and subscribers. In exchange for free
Internet service from the Company, radio stations provide advertising and
computer retailers demo and refer computer buyers to the Company for Internet
access service. In addition, the Companys subscribers can participate in a
referral program in which they can earn free service up to one year and or cash,
for making valid referrals of the Companys Internet access service. These
transactions are recognized by the Company as Internet access revenues and
selling and administrative expense in equal amounts at the fair value of
Internet access services provided by the Company.
Cost of Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Cost of access revenues also includes
fees paid for lease of the Companys backbone, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.

for Stock-Based Compensation,' allows entities to choose between a new fair
value based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity
instruments and the current intrinsic value-based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ('APB No. 25').
Entities electing to remain with the accounting in APB Opinion No. 25 must make
pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value
method of accounting has been applied. The Company will provide pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as applicable, in the notes to
future consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Financial Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109). Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax
assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is determined by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the
potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised.
Diluted earning per share is determined by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the
assumed exercise of dilutive stock options.
Recent Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.130, ('SFAS No. 130'), 'Reporting
Comprehensive Income' which is required to be adopted in the period ended
December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items
of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements, and
(b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital in the Statement of
Stockholders' Equity. The adoption of SFAS 130 did not have any effect on the
Company's financial statements as the Company does not have any elements of
comprehensive income other than net income (loss).
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ('SFAS No. 131'), 'Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information', which is required to be
adopted for the period ended December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 131 changes the way
public companies report segment information in annual financial statements and
also requires those companies to report selected segment information in interim
financial reports to stockholders. The disclosure for segment information on the
financial statements is not expected to be material.
In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC) issued
Statement of Position 98-1 ('SOP 98-1'), Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed For or Obtained For Internal Use. SOP 98-1 is effective for
the Company beginning January 1, 1999. SOP 98-1 will require the

capitalization of certain costs incurred after the date of adoption in
connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use. The Company
currently capitalizes costs related to software developed for internal use. The
Company has not evaluated whether the pronouncement will have an impact on the
Company's existing capitalization policy for internal-use software.
3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock
In connection with the organization and initial capitalization on August
19, 1998, the Company issued 4,552,500 shares of Common Stock ('Common Stock'),
at $0.001 per share. The Company has subsequently issued 230,000 shares at $0.05
per share to members of senior management. The Company believes the
consideration received for each of the issuances approximated fair market value
of the Company's Common Stock at the respective dates.
1999 Stock and Incentive Plan
The Company's Board of Directors has adopted, and the Company's
stockholders have approved, the Company's 1999 Stock and Incentive Plan (the
'Plan').
1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company's Board of Directors has adopted, and the Company's
stockholders have approved the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
4. INCOME TAXES
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of potential deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are
presented below as of December 31, 1998:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Net operating losses.................................... $305,900
--------
Total deferred tax assets............................... 305,900
Valuation allowance..................................... (305,900)
--------
Net deferred tax asset.................................. $ --
--------
--------
</TABLE>
The Company is in a net deferred tax asset position at December 31, 1998.
However, as a newly formed organization with cumulative losses to date, future
profits are not certain. As such, the Company has established a valuation
reserve for the entire amount of the net deferred tax asset.
5. TRANSACTIONS
The Company plans to consummate the Transactions in accordance with
acquisition agreements negotiated with the current owners of each of the ISPs.
The Transactions will be financed through the cash proceeds from the IPO or
through a combination of cash and common stock of OneMain.com. The combined
purchase price payable by the Company consists of approximately $71.8 million in
cash and 7,133,200 shares of common stock.
The following table reflects the consideration to be paid in cash and
shares of common stock, the preliminary allocation of the consideration to net
assets acquired and resulting excess of purchase price over net assets acquired
as of December 31, 1998, using an estimated fair value of $19.80 per share which
represents a discount of 10% from the IPO price of $22.00 per share.

</TABLE>
The purchase price will be preliminary allocated to the Company's
historical assets and liabilities based on their respective carrying values, as
these carrying values are deemed to represent fair market value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. Additionally, adjustments have been made for
assets not acquired, debt and other liabilities not assumed and for the
establishment of a deferred income tax liability and related asset resulting
from the Transactions for purposes of determining the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The allocation of the
purchase price is considered preliminary until such time as the closing of the
IPO and consummation of the Transactions. The Company does not expect the final
allocation of the purchase price will differ significantly from that presented
herein. The individual acquisition agreements provide for contingent
consideration payments but the contingent payments have not been reflected since
they cannot be determined at this time.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On November 25, 1998, the Company issued a promissory note to one of its
founders in exchange for a loan in the amount of $500,000, the proceeds of which
will be used to pay certain of the costs of the IPO and the Transactions. The
note bears interest at the prime rate (7.75% at December 31, 1998) and is
payable at the earlier of (i) demand by the note holder, (ii) the completion of
an IPO or (iii) the sale of the Company, as defined.
On February 4, 1999, the Company issued another promissory note to the same
individual above in exchange for a loan in the amount of $500,000, the proceeds
of which will be used to pay certain of the costs of the IPO and the
Transactions. The note bears interest at the prime rate (7.75% at December 31,
1998) and is payable at the earlier of (i) demand by the note holder, (ii) the
completion of an IPO, or (iii) the sale of the Company, as defined.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is engaged in ordinary and routine litigation and claims
incidental to its business. Management does not anticipate that any amounts the
Company may be required to pay by reason thereof will have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In January 1999, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Common Stock to an
employee at $0.05 per share. The Company anticipates that it will recognize a
non-cash compensation charge currently estimated to be approximately $1.9
million in the first quarter of 1999 resulting from this issuance.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
D&E SuperNet, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of D&E SuperNet, Inc. as of
December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 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 D&E SuperNet, Inc. at December
31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's working
capital deficiency and compliance with debt covenants raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these
matters are also described in Note 2. The 1998 financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

D&E SUPERNET, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
D&E SuperNet, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet
access. The Company was originally organized as general partnership (the
'Partnership') on June 22, 1995 by D&E Marketing, Inc. (50%) and SuperNet
Interactive Services, Inc. (50%) and began marketing services in July of the
same year. The partners shared equally in profits and losses.
On September 4, 1998, D&E SuperNet converted from a partnership to a
corporation. The holders of partnership interests were issued shares of common
stock, having no par value, of the Company, representing the same percentage of
equity interest in the Company as they had in the Partnership. For financial
accounting purposes, the conversion to corporate form has been treated as a
reorganization, with the assets and liabilities recorded at their historical
costs. In addition, the Company recognized a net deferred income tax liability
for temporary differences in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 109 ('Statement No. 109'), Accounting for Income Taxes, which
resulted in a one-time charge to earnings of $13,250 in 1998 (see Note 10).
The Company's targeted market is Pennsylvania. The Company expects to
continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base and geographic coverage. The
online services and Internet markets are highly competitive. The Company
believes that existing competitors, Internet-based services, Internet service
providers, Internet directory services and telecommunication companies are
likely to enhance their service offerings resulting in greater competition for
the Company. The competitive conditions could have the following effects:
require additional pricing programs; increase spending on marketing; limit the
Company's ability to expand its subscriber base and result in increased
attrition in the existing subscriber base. There can be no assurance that growth
in the Company's revenues or subscriber base will continue or that the Company
will be able to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation
of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has a significant
working capital deficiency and is not in compliance with the Term Notes
financial covenants. Further, the Company depends on the continuing financial
support of an affiliate. Management believes that the actions presently being
taken, as described below, and the intent of the Stockholders to fund the
operations will provide the Company with sufficient funds to continue as a going
concern. Such actions include, but are not limited to the short-term line of
credit and revolving line of credit agreements entered into in 1998 (see Note
7), continued investment in its network infrastructure to increase its network
efficiencies and capacity to serve additional subscribers and employing
marketing strategies to increase its subscriber base. Further, management has
obtained a waiver of the debt to net worth financial covenant for the year ended
December 31, 1998, which it did not meet and has obtained an amendment revising
this ratio from 3.0 to 1 to 4.0 to 1 for the three month periods ending March
31, 1999, June 30, 1999, September 30, 1999, and December 31, 1999. In addition,
management believes that the demand line of credit from an affiliate will
continue to be available throughout the next year.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
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.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current
year presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property, equipment, and software are stated at cost. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
ranging between three to seven years.
Inventory
Inventory consists of purchased goods for resale and is stated at the lower
of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company has determined there has been no impairment to the
carrying values of such assets since inception.
Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the cost in excess of the fair market value of
identifiable net assets acquired, is being amortized using the straight-line
method over 10 years.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company defers recognizing revenue on advance payments and
amortizes the unearned revenue amounts to revenue on a straight-line basis over
the period in which the services are provided. No revenue is recognized during a
subscriber cancellation period.
Other revenues include network installation, maintenance, and consulting
services. These services are provided on a time-and-material basis and revenue
is recognized based upon time (at established rates) and other direct costs as
incurred.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's network infrastructure, as well as license
fees for Web browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees
paid to third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
operation and support services.

DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. For the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, advertising costs were $69,069,
$123,940, and $267,938, respectively.
Income Taxes
For tax years prior to September 4, 1998, D&E Supernet operated as a
partnership, and therefore was exempt from taxation under the partnership
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the 'Code'). Under the partnership
provisions of the Code, the partners of the Partnership include their share of
the Partnership's income on their personal income tax returns. Accordingly, the
Partnership was not subject to Federal and state corporate income taxes during
the period in which it was a partnership. The Company converted to a corporation
on September 4, 1998, and became subject to Federal and state corporate income
taxes.
For periods prior to the revocation of its partnership status, the
unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the statements of
operations and Note 10 is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Financial Standards No. 109 (Statement No. 109), Accounting for
Income Taxes, as if the Company had been subject to Federal and state income
taxes for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 and for the period from
January 1, 1998 to September 3, 1998.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The concentration
of credit risk is mitigated by the large customer base. The carrying amount of
the accounts receivable approximates their fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain numerous vendors for required
products, its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are
important components of its network, are each currently acquired from three
sources. In addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and
production capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as
its network infrastructure grows, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.

6. DEBT WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES
At December 31, 1997, the Company had a short-term line of credit payable
on demand with an affiliated company allowing for borrowings of up to $650,000.
Borrowings against the line had an interest at The Wall Street Journal published
prime rate of 8.50% at December 31, 1997. Borrowings outstanding against the
line as of December 31, 1997 were $584,698.
In conjunction with the Term Note dated June 30, 1998 discussed below, the
Company retired the line of credit and created a note payable to an affiliate in
the amount of $200,000. Principal payments on the note payable to an affiliate
cannot be made until the earlier of full payment of the Term Note dated June 30,

</TABLE>
The interest rate on the Term Note dated June 30, 1998 is fixed at 7.80%
from June 1998 through June 2000. Beginning in July 2000, the interest rate will
convert to a floating rate at the bank's commercial base rate. The term of the
note is four years with a provision for interest only payments during the first
twelve months. Beginning in the thirteenth month, the Company will pay 35 fixed
principal monthly installments of $21,875 plus related interest. The balance of
the note is due in a balloon payment on July 1, 2002.
The interest rate on the Term Note dated December 31, 1998 is fixed at
7.80% from December 1998 through June 2000. Beginning in July 2000, the interest
rate will convert to a floating rate at the bank's commercial base rate plus 1%.
The term of the note is three and one half years with a provision for interest
only payments during the first seven months. Beginning in the eighth month, the
Company will pay 35 equal, monthly installments, with each such installment in
an amount sufficient to amortize the outstanding principal balance based on the
interest rate in effect on the Term Note on July 1, 1999. The balance of the
note is due in a balloon payment on July 1, 2002.
Principal payments on long-term debt are due as follows:

</TABLE>
The notes contain restrictive covenants and a cross default clause which
require the Company, beginning December 31, 1998, to maintain certain financial
ratios, the most restrictive of which is maintaining a cash flow to debt service
ratio of at least 1.2 to 1 at the end of each fiscal quarter and a maximum debt
to net worth ratio, as defined, of 3.0 to 1. The Company has obtained a waiver
of the debt to net worth financial covenant for the year ended December 31,
1998, which it did not meet and has obtained an amendment revising this ratio
from 3.0 to 1 to 4.0 to 1 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1999, June
30, 1999, September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999. Thereafter, the Company must
maintain a maximum debt to net worth ratio of 3.0 to 1.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has various transactions with its Partners and affiliates.
These transactions can be generally classified into the following categories:
o Access services--the Company pays D&E Telephone Company for telephone
services used to provide Internet access to its customers. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, telephone charges paid to
D&E Telephone Company were $99,003, $87,276, and $124,184, respectively.
o Operations and customer support services--the Company pays D&E Marketing
and SuperNet Interactive Services salaries, wages, and commissions for
providing technical, selling, and marketing services to the Company.

marketing expenses paid to these affiliates were $377,608, $608,852, and
$1,130,862, respectively.

Company for administrative support, rent, and billing services provided
to the Company. During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998,
total rent and billing services paid to these affiliates were $25,512,
$29,700, and $72,745, respectively.
Management believes that the overall amount of charges to the Company are
reasonable and that the accompanying financial statements reflect all of the
Company's costs of doing business.
9. COMMITMENTS
Lease Commitments
The Company leases office space and various office and computer equipment
under noncancelable operating lease agreements. The leases generally provide for
renewal terms and the Company is required to pay a portion of the common areas'
expenses including maintenance, real estate taxes, and other expense. Rent
expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 was $17,208,

10. INCOME TAXES
In connection with the conversion to corporate form, the Company recognized
a net deferred income tax liability for temporary differences in accordance with
Statement No. 109, which resulted in a one-time charge to earnings of $13,250 in
1998. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amount used for income tax purposes.
The Company's deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1998 was $19,875
related to differences resulting from the use of different methods of
depreciation and amortization of property and equipment for financial statement
and income tax reporting purposes.

No pro forma income tax provision or benefit is reflected for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, as the Company would have provided a full
valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset had it been a C Corporation
in 1996 and then taken the benefit in 1997. The pro forma income tax provision
for the period from January 1, 1998 to September 3, 1998 has been recorded in an
amount to reflect the Company's effective tax rate for the year of 41%.
11. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's stockholders entered into an agreement to sell
their shares in the Company to OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com'). The Company's
stockholders will exchange their shares in the Company for cash and shares of
common stock of OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the initial
public offering of the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's
stockholders will be given additional consideration, contingent upon certain
operational and earnings margin requirements, which shall be equal to one-fifth
of the difference between total revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended
June 30, 1999, and the revenues for the Company for the period from April 1,
1998, through June 30, 1998, multiplied by four. The amount of the additional
consideration will be payable in either cash or stock, at the option of
OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the
sole stockholder of the Company. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will
continue to exist.
The related party transactions as described in Note 8 will be amended upon
consummation of the merger discussed above so that all continuing obligations
will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements with
unaffiliated third parties.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
SunLink, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SunLink, Inc. as of December
31, 1997 and 1998, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31,
1998. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 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 SunLink, Inc. at December 31,
1997 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's working
capital deficiency and losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters
are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
SunLink, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet access.
The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on October 1,
1991 as a Subchapter S Corporation and began providing Internet access services
in Sunbury, Pennsylvania on October 1, 1995.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber base
and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There can be
no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base will
continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability or
positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation
of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has a significant
working capital deficiency and has incurred an operating loss for the year ended
December 31, 1998. Management believes that actions presently being taken, as
described below, and the intent of the stockholders to fund the Company's
operations will provide the Company with sufficient funds to continue as a going
concern. Such actions include, but are not limited to, operating under a newly
signed telephone service agreement with a competitive local exchange carrier
which is expected to reduce the cost of telephone services provided to a
significant portion of its subscriber base, continued investments in its network
infrastructure to increase its network efficiency and capacity to serve
additional subscribers, and employing marketing strategies to increase its
subscriber base. Further, the Company believes that its stockholders will be
able to provide it with any working capital needs during the next year.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
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.
Inventory
Inventory consists of purchased goods for resale and is stated at the lower
of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging between five to
seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their useful life not to
exceed 7 years.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('Statement
No. 121'), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of. The Company has determined there has been no
impairment to the carrying values of such assets since inception.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided. The Company records a reserve
for the estimated amount of uncollectable accounts for customers who are
provided credit terms. No revenue is recognized during a subscriber cancellation
period.
Other revenues include network installation, maintenance and consulting
services. These services are provided on a time-and-material basis and revenue
is recognized based upon time (at established rates) and other direct costs as
incurred.
Bartered Services
The Company participates in bartered services transactions with certain
radio stations, computer retailers and subscribers. In exchange for free
Internet service from the Company, radio stations provide advertising and
computer retailers demo and refer computer buyers to the Company for Internet
access service. In addition, the Company's subscribers can participate in a
referral program in which they can earn free service up to one year and or cash,
for making valid referrals of the Company's Internet access service. These
transactions are recognized by the Company as Internet access revenues and
selling and administrative expense in equal amounts at the fair value of
Internet access services provided by the Company. For the years ended December
31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Company recognized bartered services transactions
in the amount of $8,894, $22,136, and $30,755, respectively.
Stock Compensation
During 1997, the Company issued 5 shares of common stock to a contractor in
exchange for $50 in cash and recorded $450 of stock compensation for services
performed.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs and contractor fees for distribution
of software to new subscribers.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 advertising and promotion costs
were $28,736, $11,489, and $41,165, respectively.
Income Taxes
Historically, the Company has elected, by the consent of its stockholders,
to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code
(the 'Code'). Under the Subchapter S provisions of the Code, the stockholders
include the Company's corporate income in their personal income tax returns.
Accordingly, the Company was not subject to Federal and state corporate income
tax during the period for which it was an S Corporation.
The pro forma income tax information included in the statements of
operations and Note 7 is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company had
been subject to Federal and certain state income taxes for each of the years
ended December 31, 1998.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The concentration
of credit risk is mitigated by the large customer base and small accounts
receivable balances. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their
fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are each currently acquired from three sources. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as its network
infrastructure grows, then delays and increased costs in the expansion of the
Company's network infrastructure could potentially result in an adverse effect
on the Company's operating results.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current
year presentation.

For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company paid a

consulting services to the Company. No technical support and consulting services
were provided by the stockholder for such services for the year ended December
31, 1996.
In addition, the Company occupies office space in a building owned by a
Company stockholder. For the year ended December 31, 1996, no rent payments were
made to this stockholder, however, rent expense and additional paid-in capital
of $1,200 was recognized. For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, the
amounts paid for rent were $4,000 and $22,500, respectively.
In December 1998, a stockholder made an unsecured $123,000 loan to the
Company. The loan is due in December 28, 1999 and bears an interest rate of
8.5%.
5. NOTE PAYABLE
The Company has a short-term line of credit payable on demand with a bank
allowing for borrowings of up to $125,000. Borrowings against the line bear
interest at the bank's prime rate plus .75% at December 31, 1997. The line is
secured by and is personally guaranteed by a stockholder of the Company.
Borrowings of $90,000 were outstanding against the line at December 31, 1997.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT--(CONTINUED)
The Company incurred interest related to the long-term debt of $15,422 for
the year ended December 31, 1998.
Principal payments on long-term debt are due as follows: 1999--$44,906;
2000--$48,465; 2001-- $52,305; 2002--$56,450; 2003--$19,460.
7. INCOME TAX
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com') to
sell the outstanding stock of the Company and concurrent with the related
initial public offering of OneMain.com (as more fully described in Note 8) the
Company's status as an S Corporation under the Code will automatically terminate
and Federal and state corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon the
cumulative temporary differences, the Company would have recognized a deferred
Federal and state income tax liability of $11,223 as of December 31, 1998, had
the termination of its election to be treated as an S Corporation occurred on
that date.
The pro forma provision for income taxes is reflected on the statement of
operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, as
if the Company had been a C Corporation. No pro forma income tax provision or
benefit is reflected for the year ended December 31, 1996 as the Company would
have provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset had it
been a C Corporation.
8. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's stockholders entered into an agreement whereby
they will sell their shares in the Company to OneMain.com. The Company's
stockholders will exchange their shares in the Company for cash and shares of
common stock of OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the initial
public offering of the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's
stockholders will be given additional consideration, contingent upon certain
operational and earnings margin requirements, which shall be equal to one-tenth
of the difference between total revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended
June 30, 1999, and the revenues for the Company for the period from April 1,
1998 through June 30, 1998, multiplied by four. Upon consummation of the
agreement, OneMain.com will become the sole stockholder of the Company.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will continue to exist.
The related party transactions as described in Note 4 will be amended upon
consummation of the merger discussed above so that all continuing obligations
will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements with
unaffiliated third parties.

1. ORGANIZATION
LebaNet, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet access.
The Company is also a provider of network system set-up and installations and
related equipment and software sales. The Company was incorporated in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on February 21, 1996 and began marketing services
on March 1, 1996. The Company's target market is central Pennsylvania.

Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
period from March 1, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996 and the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company expensed $623, $1,502, and $448
respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
Historically, the Company has elected, by the consent of its stockholder,
to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code
(the 'Code'). Under the Subchapter S provisions of the Code, the stockholder
includes the Company's corporate income in his personal income tax return.
Accordingly, the Company was not subject to Federal and state corporate income
tax during the period for which it was an S Corporation.
The pro forma income tax information included in the statements of
operations and Note 5 is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company had
been subject to Federal and certain state income taxes for the period from March
1, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996 and for each of the two years ended
December 31, 1998.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The concentration
of credit risk is mitigated by the large customer base. The carrying amount of
the accounts receivable approximates their fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are each currently acquired from three sources. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is
building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On March 1, 1996, the stockholder of the Company contributed property and
equipment with a fair value of $40,812 to the Company in exchange for a
non-interest bearing note payable to the stockholder. During 1998, the Company
repaid the advance to the stockholder.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS--(CONTINUED)
The Company provides consulting services to another corporation in which
the stockholder of the Company is also an officer and stockholder. During the
period from March 1, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996, the Company did not
perform any consulting services for related parties. During the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company recognized consulting fee revenue of
$2,600 and $40,000, respectively.
In addition, the Company paid office rent to the stockholder of the Company
for its use of the stockholder's residence on a month to month basis. During the
period from March 1, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996 and the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company recorded $5,000, $3,000, and $7,200,
respectively, as rent expense.
5. INCOME TAXES
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com') to
sell the outstanding stock of the Company and concurrent with the related
initial public offering of OneMain.com (as more fully described in Note 6), the
Company's status as an S Corporation under the Code will automatically terminate
and normal Federal and state corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon
the Company's cumulative temporary differences which arose mainly from the
difference between its book and tax depreciation methods, the Company would have
recognized a deferred Federal and state income tax liability of 26,279 as of
December 31, 1998, had the termination of its election to be treated as an S
Corporation occurred on that date.
The pro forma provision for income taxes is reflected on the statement of
operations for the period from March 1, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996
and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998, as if the
Company had been a C corporation.
6. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's stockholder entered into an agreement whereby he
will sell his shares in the Company to OneMain.com. The Company's stockholder
will exchange his shares in the Company for cash and shares of common stock of
OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the initial public offering of
the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's stockholder will be
given additional consideration, contingent upon certain operational and earnings
margin requirements, which shall be equal to one-tenth of the difference between
total revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended June 30, 1999, and the
revenues for the Company for the period from April 1, 1998, through June 30,
1998, multiplied by four. The amount of the additional consideration will be
payable in either cash or stock, at the option of OneMain.com. Upon consummation
of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the sole stockholder of the Company.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will continue to exist.
The related party transactions as described in Note 4 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
SouthWind Internet Access, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider of
Internet access, as well as design and hosting services for world wide web
sites. The Company was incorporated in Kansas on July 6, 1994, and began
marketing services in October 1994. The Company's targeted market is the state
of Kansas.
The Company expects to continue focusing on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to sustain profitability or
positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Reclassifications
Certain balances in the 1996 and 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives ranging between three and seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the related lease term or the
estimated useful life, using the straight-line method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of assets
during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue on
these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a straight-line
basis as the services are provided.
The Company provides internet access services to certain organizations in
exchange for advertising. Revenue and corresponding advertising expense in the
amount of $62,053 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 1998 relating
to these non-monetary transactions. Similar non-monetary transactions were not
significant in 1997 and 1996. The Company values these non-monetary transactions
based upon the fair value of the internet access services provided.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Cost of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Company expensed $9,201,
$4,583 and $67,128, respectively, as advertising costs. As noted above, $62,053
of costs recorded in 1998 related to non-monetary transactions.
Income Taxes
Historically, the Company has elected, by the consent of its stockholders,
to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code
(the 'Code'). Under the provisions of the Code, the stockholders include the
Company's corporate income in their personal income tax returns. Accordingly,
the Company was not subject to federal and state corporate income tax during the
period for which it was an S Corporation.
The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the statements
of operations and Note 6 is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the
Company had been subject to federal and certain state income taxes for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high-credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
payment history and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains
reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within management's
expectations. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their fair
value.

agreement. The lease generally provides for renewal terms, and the Company is
required to pay a portion of the common areas' expenses including maintenance,
real estate taxes, and other expenses. Rent expense for the years ended December
1996, 1997, and 1998, was $12,849, $26,011, and $58,437, respectively. In

6. INCOME TAXES
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com')
and concurrent with the related initial public offering of OneMain.com (as more
fully described in Note 9), the Company's status as an S Corporation under the
Internal Revenue Code will automatically terminate and normal federal and state
corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon the cumulative temporary

liability of $21,430 as of December 31, 1998 upon the termination of its
election to be treated as an S Corporation.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS

individual stockholder's income tax returns. The Company made distributions of
$68,275 in 1998 associated with the Company's 1997 taxable income. In addition,
beginning in 1998, the Company began making distributions to stockholders on a

they will sell their shares in the Company to OneMain.com. The Company's
stockholders will exchange their shares in the Company for cash and shares of
common stock of OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the initial
public offering of the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's
stockholders will be given additional consideration, contingent upon certain
operational and earnings margin requirements, which shall be equal to one-tenth
of the difference between total revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended
June 30, 1999, and the revenues for the Company for the period from April 1,
1998 through June 30, 1998, multiplied by four. The amount of the additional
consideration will be payable in either cash or stock, at the option of
OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the
sole stockholder of the Company. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will
continue to exist.
10. LINE OF CREDIT--SUBSEQUENT EVENT

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
Horizon Internet Technologies, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider
of Internet access. The Company was incorporated in Kansas on July 26, 1995. The
Company's targeted markets include Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber base
and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There can be
no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base will
continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability or
positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MoCom Corporation (see Note 3.). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 and 1996 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging between three
to five years.
Intangibles
The Company capitalizes a portion of the purchase price paid to acquire
customer bases from Internet service providers ('ISPs'). Amortization is
provided using straight line method over five years commencing when the customer
base is received. Accumulated amortization of intangible cost was $1,490 and
$5,835 at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenues when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenues
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenues on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs and contractor fees for distribution
of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company expensed $1,737,
$7,531 and $21,144, respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
Historically, the Company had elected by the consent of its stockholders to
be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (the
'Code'). Under the Subchapter S provisions of the Code, the stockholders include
the Company's corporate income or loss in their personal income tax returns.
Accordingly, the Company was not subject to federal and state corporate income
tax during the period for which it was an S Corporation.
If the Company had been subject to federal and certain state income taxes
for each of the three years and the period ended December 31, 1998, the Company
would have been in a net deferred tax asset position which would have been fully
offset by a valuation allowance. Any tax benefit or provision for those years
also would have been fully offset by changes in the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance. Therefore, unaudited pro-forma income tax information is not
presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, 'Accounting for Income Taxes,' as if the Company had been subject to
federal and certain state income taxes.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high-credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
payment history and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains
reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within management's
expectations. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their fair
value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management believes alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operations.
In addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and
production capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as
it is building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs
in the expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.
3. ACQUISITION OF MOCOM
During 1997, the Company purchased 650 shares, or 32.5%, of the stock of
MoCom. On November 2, 1998, the Company acquired the remaining interest from
four shareholders for $124,557, net of cash. MoCom, which began operations in
October 1997, is a regional provider of Internet access in the Missouri area.
MoCom was accounted for using the equity method of accounting through November
2, 1998. Subsequently, the financial statements of MoCom have been accounted for
on a consolidated basis with the Company. The acquisition has been accounted for
using the purchase method and, accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities
assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of November 2,
1998.
The unaudited pro forma results of operations set forth below assumes the
acquisition of MoCom had occurred at the beginning of the years presented.

10. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's stockholders entered into an agreement whereby

consideration will be payable in either cash or stock, at the option of
OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
United States Internet, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of United States Internet, Inc.
as of December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
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

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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

all material respects, the financial position of United States Internet, Inc. at
December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's working
capital deficiency and losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters
are also described in Note 2. The 1998 financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
United States Internet, Inc. (the 'Company') was incorporated in 1994 and
has points of presence in Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and Alabama. The
Company's principal business is to provide access to the Internet, design and
host web pages on the Internet and resell Internet hardware and software.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber base
and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There can be
no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base will
continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability or
positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation
of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has a significant
working capital deficiency and has incurred operating losses for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Management believes that actions presently
being taken, as described below, and the remaining facility with Ascend
Communications will provide the Company with sufficient funds to continue as a
going concern. Such actions include but are not limited to operating under a
newly signed telephone service agreement with a competitive local exchange
carrier which is expected to reduce the cost of telephone services provided to
its subscriber base, continued investments in its network infrastructure to
increase its network efficiency and capacity to serve additional subscribers,
and employing marketing strategies to increase its subscriber base.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
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 financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such
differences could be material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives ranging between three to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the related lease term or the
useful life.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Inventories
Inventories consists of purchased goods for resale and is stated at the
lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
Acquired Customer Base
The Company capitalizes the purchase price paid to acquire customer bases
from other Internet Service Providers ('ISPs'). Amortization is provided using
the straight-line method over three years commencing when the customer base is
received.
Accumulated amortization was $163,637, and $641,589 at December 31, 1997
and 1998, respectively.
Stock Compensation
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial accounting Standards No. 123 ('SFAS 123'), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123 allows companies to account for stock-based
compensation under either the new provisions of SFAS 123 or the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25.
('APB 25'), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, but requires pro
forma disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements as if the
measurement provisions of SFAS 123 had been adopted. The Company has chosen to
continue accounting for its stock-based compensation in accordance with the
provisions of APB 25.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of access revenues primarily consists of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Cost of access revenues also includes
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs and contractor fees for distribution
of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company expensed $62,366,
$17,582 and $107,608, respectively, as advertising costs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivable.
At December 31, 1998, approximately $225,691 of cash is deposited in one
financial institution. Credit
risk is subject to the financial security of these institutions.
Accounts receivable are unsecured and due under stated terms. Credit risk
with respect to accounts receivable is subject to the financial security of each
customer. The Company does not require collateral. The Company maintains
reserves for credit losses and such losses have been within management's
expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the large
customer base.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments classified as current
assets or liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable
and accounts payable approximated carrying value, principally because of the
short maturity of these items.
The carrying amounts of the long-term debt payable approximate fair value
due to the interest rates on these agreements approximating the Company's
incremental borrowing rates, and the fair values of capitalized lease
obligations approximate carrying value based on their effective rates compared
to current market rates.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
The Company attempts to maintain alternative vendors for required products.
Its modems, terminal servers and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are currently acquired from four sources. Some of the
Company's suppliers have limited resources and production capacity. If the
suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is building out its
network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the expansion of the
Company's network infrastructure could result, having an adverse effect on
operating results.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The
liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded
based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as
'temporary differences.' Temporary differences result from the use of different
accounting methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes.

</TABLE>
In March 1998, the Company entered into a working capital and equipment
purchase facility with Ascend Communications allowing up to $5,878,000 to be
provided in scheduled draws through December 1999. These notes are secured by
equipment, inventories and accounts receivable. In connection with this
facility, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 28,299 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants are immediately
exercisable and expire on March 31, 2001. Under the conditions of this agreement
any unexercised warrants at the date of expiration will automatically be
converted to common stock based on the difference between the fair market value
of the common stock, at such date, and the warrant exercise price, divided by
the fair value of the common stock, at such date. Of the approximate $3,145,000
borrowed under this facility during 1998, approximately $200,000 has been
allocated to the value of the warrants, thereby providing a discount on the
note. During the year ended December 31,

4. LONG-TERM DEBT--(CONTINUED)
1998, the Company recognized interest expense of $54,759 in connection with the
amortization of the debt discount on the Ascend Communications note.
The First American National Bank note was entered into on May 31, 1998,
resulting from the maturity of a $200,000 revolving credit facility. The note is
collateralized by various operating equipment and requires the Company to
maintain two financial statement covenants; a debt service coverage covenant
required at December 31, 1998 and a minimum tangible net worth covenant required
at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1998 the Company was in violation of the
debt service covenant and therefore, the entire outstanding balance of $163,300
has been included in the current portion of long-term debt.
The National Bank of Blacksburg note is collateralized by accounts

remaining notes, approximately $130,000, were repaid in cash. In connection with
these notes, accrued interest in the amount of approximately $21,900 was

conversions at a price per share of Company stock less than fair value at the
time of such conversion, recognizing approximately $110,000 of debt conversion
expense during 1998. The Company recognized interest expense of $22,270, $42,197

7. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Stock Options
The Company adopted a nonqualified and qualified stock option plan,
effective June 1, 1995, for granting of options to key employees and for
granting of options to nonemployee directors. The aggregate number of common
shares reserved for issuance under these plans is 600,000 shares. The option
price, number of shares and grant date under these plans are determined at the
discretion of the Stock Option Committee ('the Committee') of the Company's
Board of Directors.
The Committee may also include stock appreciation rights in any option
granted under the Plan. Such rights shall entitle the holder, upon exercising
the right, to receive in cash or property up to 100% of the excess of the fair
market value, on the date of such exercise, over the option price of the common
stock. Exercise of the rights precludes the holder from exercising the options.
The holder is not required to make a payment in order to exercise the right.
Stock appreciation rights are included in all 532,046 stock options. The
stock appreciation rights liability reflects the excess of the fair market value
of $12.08 per share of common stock at December 31, 1998, over the option price
of the common stock. The rights terminate upon a change in control as defined in
the agreement and are required to be settled in cash or options to purchase
common stock of the acquiror.
The following table summarizes information about fixed-price stock options
outstanding at December 31, 1998:

</TABLE>
Had compensation expense related to the stock option plan been determined
based on fair value at the grant date for options granted during the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123,
rather than as stock appreciation rights in accordance with APB 25, the
Company's net loss would have been $1,408,760, $1,248,461 and $1,966,065,
respectively.
The effect of applying SFAS 123 pro forma net income as stated above is not
necessarily representative of the effects on reported net income for future
periods due to, among other things, the vesting period of the stock options and
the fair value of additional stock options in future years.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the minimum value option pricing fair value model with the following
weighted-average assumptions used for 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively: divided
yield of 0%, risk-free interest rates of 6.33%, 6.24% and 6.48%, no weighted
average volatility factors and expected life of the option terms of 7 years. The
weighted average fair values of options granted during the years ended December
31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 were $2.45, $2.63 and $2.91 respectively.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had reserved 54,414 shares of common
stock for future issuances under the Option Plan.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
The Company leases real estate from stockholders and is responsible for
repairs, taxes and other expenses. The Company also leases various office and
computer equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements which
generally provide for renewal terms. Rent expense for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, was $63,780, $99,118 and $145,770 respectively,
including rent to the stockholders of $49,072, $49,072 and $76,896,

The Company leases certain computer equipment under agreements which have
been accounted for as capital leases. The related computer equipment had a cost
of $1,822,168 and accumulated amortization of $438,241 at December 31, 1998.
In 1997, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction for $86,067
of computer equipment. Under terms of the agreement, the Company will make
scheduled payments of principal and interest through December 1999, at which
time the Company intends to purchase the equipment for 5% of the original
purchase price. As of December 31, 1997, a deferred loss of $6,258 is included
in other assets related to this transaction. The deferred loss is being
amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the lease.
Minimum future lease payments under operating leases together with the
present value of the net minimum lease payments under capital leases including
amounts due under the sale-leaseback transaction, as of December 31, 1998, are

9. ACQUISITIONS
During 1998, the Company purchased the listings of customers of four
internet service providers totaling approximately 2,008 customers for $174,260.
In addition, the purchase agreements included non-compete provisions. The
purchase price was settled in Company common stock and cash with a portion of
the cash payment made over a six month period. The cost of these purchases have
been allocated to customer base, which is being amortized over three years.
In September and October 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of three internet service providers. The aggregate purchase price was
$4,052,493 consisting of 336,988 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
either $11.36 or $11.45 a share and cash of $220,020. The acquired companies
were merged into the Company. The acquisitions were accounted for under the

In connection with one of the acquisitions the Company issued a promissory
note in favor of the previous owner for $500,000. The promissory note is held in
escrow and will only be released contingent on the Company, or any successor
entity, failing to file an effective registration statement in connection with
an initial public offering of its capital stock by June 30, 1999. No liability
has been recorded in respect of this note as its release is not considered
probable.
10. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's stockholders entered into an agreement whereby
they will sell their shares in the Company to OneMain.com., Inc.
('OneMain.com'). The Company's stockholders will exchange their shares in the
Company for cash and shares of common stock of OneMain.com concurrent with the
consummation of the initial public offering ('IPO') of the common stock of
OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's stockholders will be given additional
consideration, contingent upon certain operational and earnings margin
requirements, which shall be equal to one-fifth of the difference between total
revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended June 30, 1999, and the revenues
for the Company for the period from April 1, 1998, through June 30, 1998
multiplied by four. The amount of the additional consideration will be payable
in either cash or stock, at the option of OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the
agreement, OneMain.com will become the sole stockholder of the Company.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will continue to exist.

INTERNET PARTNERS OF AMERICA, LC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
Internet Partners of America, LC (the 'Company') is a regional provider of
Internet access. The Company was formed in Arkansas on May 12, 1995 and began
marketing services in June 1995. The Company's targeted markets include
Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
The Company will terminate on December 31, 2025, unless dissolved earlier
in accordance with the Company agreement.
The Company expects to continue focusing on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging between three
to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
related lease term or the useful life.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
Intangible Assets
The Company capitalizes specific costs incurred for the purchase of
customer bases from other Internet Service Providers ('ISPs'). The customer
acquisition costs include the actual fee paid to the selling ISP as well as
legal expenses specifically related to the transactions. Amortization is
provided using the straight-line method over five years commencing when the
customer base is received.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenues when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company incurred approximately
$63,000, $89,000 and $134,000, respectively, in advertising costs.
Income Taxes
The Company is organized as a limited liability company under the laws of
the state of Arkansas. The Company is taxed under the partnership provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code (the 'Code'). Under the partnership provisions of the
Code, the members of the limited liability company include the Company's income
on their personal income tax returns. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to
federal and state corporate income taxes.
The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in Note 5 is
presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company had been subject to federal
and certain state income taxes for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral.
The Company maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been
within management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated
by the large customer base. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates
their fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management believes alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are each currently acquired from three sources. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is
building out its network

infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the expansion of the
Company's network infrastructure could result, having an adverse effect on
operating results.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years' financial
statements to conform to the current year's presentation.

5. INCOME TAXES
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com') to
sell the outstanding stock of the Company and concurrent with the related
initial public offering of OneMain.com (as more fully described in Note 12), the
Company's status as an LLC under the Code will automatically terminate and
normal federal and state corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon the
cumulative temporary differences, the Company would have recognized a deferred
federal and state income tax asset before valuation allowance of $35,929 as of
December 31, 1998, had the termination of its election to be treated as an LLC
occurred on this date.
No pro forma income tax provision (benefit) is reflected for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 as the Company would have
provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset had it been a
C Corporation.
6. LINE OF CREDIT
In 1997 and 1998, the Company had a line of credit with a bank allowing for
borrowings of up to $350,000. Borrowings against this line bear interest at 10%.
This line was secured by and personally guaranteed by the members. Borrowings of
$221,000 were outstanding against this line at December 31, 1997. No borrowings
were outstanding against this line at December 31, 1998.
In 1998, the Company had a line of credit with a bank allowing for
borrowings of up to $150,000. Borrowings against this line bear interest at the
prime rate (8.25% as of December 31, 1998), as defined in

9. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various litigation matters on an ongoing basis
as a result of its day-to-day operations. However, management does not believe
that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On December 14, 1998, the Company transferred certain real estate,
consisting of land and a building, to its members. On that date, the land and
building had a book value of $307,796 and was encumbered by a bank note with a
carrying value of $232,990. According to the agreement, the Company will pay the
note after the members have obtained other financing. At December 31, 1998, the
Company has recorded $232,990 due from members. The $75,500 difference between
the carrying value of the real estate and the amount due from the members has
been recognized as a distribution to members.
The agreement referred to above also provides that the Company lease the
land and building from the members beginning January, 1999, for 60 months at the
rate of $5,500 per month. The Company will account for this lease as an
operating lease and this lease commitment is included in the summary of minimum
future lease payments in note 8.
11. ACQUISITION
On April 6, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of On The Net of Boliver, Missouri for approximately $867,000.
Only a portion of this amount has been paid to the seller at closing and the
remaining amount expected to be paid is included in Due to Seller in the balance
sheet. This purchase price is to be finalized in February, 1999, based upon the
number of On The Net customers that switch their service to the Company. The
acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly,
the operating results of On The Net have been included in the operating results
since the date of acquisition. On The Net is a provider of dial-up Internet
access services. The acquisition resulted in $803,000 being allocated to
purchased customer lists. The cost of the customer list is being amortized over
a 5 year period.
12. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's members entered into an agreement whereby they
will sell their interest in the Company to OneMain.com. The Company's members
will exchange their interest in the Company for cash and shares of common stock
of OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the initial public offering
of the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's members will be
given additional consideration, contingent upon certain operational and earnings
margin requirements, which shall be equal to one-fifth of the difference between
total revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended June 30, 1999, and the
revenues for the Company for the period from April 1, 1998, through June 30,
1998, multiplied by four. The amount of the additional consideration will be
payable in either cash or stock, at the option of OneMain.com. Upon consummation
of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the sole stockholder of the Company.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will continue to exist.
The related party transactions as described in Note 10 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

ZOOMNET, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
ZoomNet, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet access.
The Company was incorporated in Ohio on June 19, 1995 and began marketing
services in September 1995. The Company's target markets include Ohio, Kentucky
and West Virginia.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including equipment under capital lease and
leasehold improvements, are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging between five and
seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the related
lease term or the useful life.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the periods ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998.
Intangible Assets
The Company capitalizes specific costs incurred for the purchase of
customer bases and non-compete agreements from other Internet service providers
('ISPs'). Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over five
years commencing at the date of acquisition of the intangible assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1998, AcSEC issued Statement of Position 98-1 ('SOP 98-1'),
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed For or Obtained For
Internal Use. SOP 98-1 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 1999.
SOP 98-1 will require the capitalization of certain costs incurred after the
date of adoption in connection with developing or obtaining software for
internal use. The Company currently capitalizes costs related to software
developed for internal use. The Company has not evaluated whether the
pronouncement will have an impact on the Company's existing capitalization
policy for internal-use software.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
The Company provides Internet access services to certain organizations in
exchange for advertising, hardware storage, and other services. Revenue and
corresponding expenses in the amount of $9,500 and $53,036 was recorded during
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, relating to these
non-monetary transactions. Similar non-monetary transactions were not
significant in 1996. The Company values these non-monetary transactions based
upon the fair values of the Internet access services provided.
Costs of Revenues
Cost of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Cost of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, product costs, and contractor
fees for distribution of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Company expensed $16,159,
$52,827, and $186,873, respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The
liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded
based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as
'temporary differences.' Temporary differences result from the use of different
accounting methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. The Company
maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
large customer base. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their
fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are each currently acquired from two sources. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is
building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.
Reclassifications
Certain 1996 and 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
1998 presentation.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In September 1998, a shareholder loaned $34,301 to the Company which was
repayable on demand. Also, a relative of a shareholder loaned $250,000 to the
Company which was also payable on demand. The related party obligations were
repaid in November 1998 primarily through a $265,000 loan from a bank. (See Note
6.) Interest expense associated with these loans paid to related parties totaled
$3,233.
A stockholder of the Company works part-time for the Company at no charge.
As no records are maintained of the hours of service provided, estimating the
value of these services is not practicable. No amount has been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements to reflect the costs of these services.
4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

In June 1998, the Company obtained a $100,000 short-term note with a bank,
due December 1998. In December 1998, the note was refinanced with the bank such
that the Company is required to make monthly interest payments at the bank's
prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1998) plus 0.5% through June 1999 and a lump
sum principal payment in June 1999. The loan is secured by all the Company's
assets that have not been individually collateralized under separate loan
agreements (See Note 6) and is personally guaranteed by the Company's
stockholders.

personally guaranteed by the Company's stockholders.
The Company incurred interest related to the long-term debt of
approximately $22,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The carrying value
of long-term debt approximates fair value.
Principal payments on long-term debt are due as follows: 1999--$101,512;
2000--$105,559; 2001--$75,721, 2002--$40,013, 2003 and thereafter--$130,969.

PALM.NET, USA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Palm.Net, USA, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet
access. The Company was incorporated in Florida on January 3, 1996 and began
marketing services on April 1, 1996. The Company's targeted markets include
Florida.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The on-line services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives ranging between five to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the related lease term or the
useful life.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
period from January 3, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996 and the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company expensed $18,079, $20,469 and $28,349,
respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
Historically, the Company has elected by the consent of its stockholders,
to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code
(the 'Code'). Under the Subchapter S provisions of the Code, the stockholders
include the Company's corporate income in their personal income tax returns.
Accordingly, the Company was not subject to federal and state corporate income
tax during the period for which it was an S Corporation.
The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the statements
of operations and Note 6 is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company had
been subject to federal and certain state income taxes for the period from
January 3, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996, and for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1998.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company
maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
large customer base. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their
fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be PALM.NET, USA, INC. found in a timely
manner, any disruption of these services could have an adverse effect on
operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, each are currently acquired from Computer Max. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is
building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.

4. LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company leases office space under noncancelable operating lease
agreements. The leases generally provide for renewal terms and the Company is
required to pay a portion of the common areas' expenses including maintenance,
real estate taxes, and other expenses. Rent expense for the period from January
3, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1998 was $7,573, $10,338, and $10,438, respectively. The Company has no
material lease commitments for future periods.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Loan agreements exist between the Company and the stockholders for an
amount equal to the amount of business operating expenses advanced on the
stockholder's personal lines of credit. Payments are due in coordination with
the timing of payments due to the lenders. In addition, certain Company funds
were used by the stockholders to fund personal PALM.NET, USA, INC. expenses. The
net amount due to (from) the stockholders at December 31, 1997 and 1998 was
$57,811. The net amount due from stockholders at December 31, 1998 in the amount
of $40,385 was written off by the Company. Interest expense incurred with the
loan agreements during the period from January 3, 1996 (inception) to December
31, 1996 and years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 was $617, $11,541, and
$7,880, respectively.
6. INCOME TAXES
Upon consummation of an agreement with One Main.com, Inc. ('One Main.com')
to sell the outstanding stock of the Company and concurrent with the related
initial public offering of One Main.com, the Company's status as an S
Corporation under the Code will automatically terminate and normal federal and
state corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon the cumulative temporary
differences, the Company would have recognized a deferred federal and state
income tax benefit and asset of $18,412 as of December 31, 1998, had the
termination of its election to be treated as an S Corporation occurred on that
date.
No pro forma income tax provision is reflected for the period from January
3, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996 as the Company would have provided a
full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset had it been a C
Corporation.

7. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's stockholders entered into an agreement whereby
they will sell their shares in the Company to OneMain.com. The Company's
stockholders will exchange their shares in the Company for cash and shares of
common stock of OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the initial
public offering of the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's
stockholders will be given additional consideration, contingent upon certain
operational and earnings margin requirements, which shall be equal to one-fifth
of the difference between total revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended
June 30, 1999, and the revenues for the Company for the period from April 1,
1998, through June 30, 1998, multiplied by four. The amount of the additional
consideration will be payable in either cash or stock, at the option of
OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the
sole stockholder of the Company. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will
continue to exist.
The related party transactions as described in Note 5 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Internet Access Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Internet Access
Group, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related combined
statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1998. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Internet Access
Group, Inc. at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the combined results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's working
capital deficiency and net losses accumulated since inception raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 1998 financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

INTERNET ACCESS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Internet Access Group, Inc. ('IAG' or the 'Company') is a regional provider
of Internet access which was incorporated on December 2, 1994 and began
marketing services in January 1995 with a targeted customer base primarily in
Florida.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The on-line services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The combined financial statements include the following operating companies
owned by the same individual. The companies included in Internet Access Group,
Inc. are:
Peiman and Associates, Inc. specializes in software development and
computer consulting services; became inactive as of January 1, 1997.
Internet Access Group, Inc. provides internet services; formed as an S
Corporation on December 2, 1994. The Company revoked its S Corporation
status and became a C Corporation effective January 1, 1998.
Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates the continuation of
the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has accumulated net losses
of $221,460 since its inception and, as a result, has a stockholders' deficit of
$203,790 and negative working capital of $306,403 at December 31, 1998.
Management believes that actions presently being taken, as described below, will
provide the Company with sufficient funds to continue as a going concern. The
results to date reflect significant investments made by management in its
infrastructure and its efforts in order to enhance its ability to provide
internet access services to subscribers in its service area. The Company has
allocated substantial resources to enhance its customer service department and
implemented a new billing system in 1998 to meet the needs of its subscribers.
During 1998, the Company also decided to eliminate its web development
department which had been generating operating losses during 1997 and the first
half of 1998. The Company believes operating results achieved in the third and
fourth quarters of 1998 reflect an operating profitability that demonstrates the
Company will be able to meet its working capital obligations and enable the
Company to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of five years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue as the services
are provided.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of access revenues primarily consists of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 the Company expensed $25,228,
$38,055, and $38,637 respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
For tax years prior to 1998, the Company elected tax treatment as an S
Corporation; accordingly, the Company was taxed under the provisions of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (the 'Code'). Under the Subchapter S
provisions of the Code, the stockholders included the Company's corporate income
in their personal income tax returns. Accordingly, the Company was not subject
to federal and state corporate income tax during the period for which it was an
S Corporation.
F-151
<PAGE>
INTERNET ACCESS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
The Company revoked its S Corporation election on March 1, 1998. Therefore,
the Company was subject to normal federal and state corporate income taxes
effective January 1, 1998.
For periods prior to the revocation of its S Corporation status, the
unaudited pro forma income tax information included in Note 7 is presented in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes, as if the Company had been subject to federal and certain
state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997.
For periods after the revocation of its S Corporation status, the Company
accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The liability method
provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as 'temporary
differences.' Temporary differences result from the use of different accounting
methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by high credit quality financial institutions. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company
maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
large customer base. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their
fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, each are currently acquired from nine sources. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is
building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.
Reclassifications

temporary differences, the Company's deferred federal and state income tax asset
as of December 31, 1998 was $25,815. A full valuation allowance of $25,815 was
provided resulting in a deferred asset of $0. No pro forma income tax provision

Company would have provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax
asset had it been a C Corporation.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company's stockholders will exchange their shares in the Company for cash
and shares of common stock of OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of
the initial public offering of the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally,
the Company's stockholders will be given additional consideration, contingent
upon certain operational and earnings margin requirements, which shall be equal
to one-fifth of the difference between total revenue for the Company for the 12
months ended June 30, 1999, and the revenues for the Company for the period from
April 1, 1998, through June 30, 1998, multiplied by four. The amount of the
additional consideration will be payable in either cash or stock, at the option
of OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the
sole stockholder of the Company. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will
continue to exist.
The related party transactions as described in Note 8 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

MIDWEST INTERNET, L.L.C.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
Midwest Internet, L.L.C. (the Company) is a regional provider of Internet
access. The Company was organized in the State of Illinois on February 2, 1995
(inception) and began marketing services in March 1995. The Company's targeted
markets include residential and business customers in Illinois, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and Missouri.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings,
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs, increase
spending on marketing, limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base, and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to
seven years. All computer equipment is being depreciated using a three-year
useful life.
Intangibles Assets
Intangibles assets consist of goodwill and costs incurred for the purchase
of a non-compete agreement from another Internet service provider. Goodwill,
which represents the cost in excess of the fair market value of identifiable net
assets acquired, is being amortized using the straight line method over five
years. The non-compete agreement is being amortized using the straight line
method over its term of two years.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998.
F-160
<PAGE>
MIDWEST INTERNET, L.L.C.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
Costs of Access Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunications expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Company expensed $165,984,
$27,554, and $82,156, respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
The Company was organized as a limited liability company; accordingly, the
Company is taxed under the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
(the Code). Under the partnership provisions of the Code, the limited liability
company members include the Company's income on their personal income tax
returns. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income
tax.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company
maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
large customer base. Other financial instruments consist of accounts payable and
notes payable. The carrying values of such amounts reported at the applicable
balance sheet dates approximate their fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management believes alternative
telecommunications facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
The Company maintains various vendors for required products, such as
modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network. Some of the Company's suppliers have limited
resources and production capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the
Company's needs as it is building out its network infrastructure, then delays
and increased costs in the expansion of the Company's network infrastructure
could result, having an adverse effect on operating results.

4. NOTES PAYABLE--(CONTINUED)
The prime rate used by all of the banks above was 7.75% at December 31,
1998. The Company incurred interest related to the notes of $59,066, $84,847,
and $66,257 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively.
The notes payable are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets
and personal guarantees of its members. In addition, most of the above notes are
due on demand; accordingly, such notes have been classified as a current
liability.
In August 1998, the Company obtained an additional $50,000 unsecured line
of credit from a bank. The line of credit expires in August 1999 and is
personally guaranteed by the Company's members. There were no borrowings on this
line in 1998.
5. COMMITMENTS
Lease Commitments
The Company leases certain sites for its servers, office space, and various
office and computer equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements.
The site leases generally provide for renewal terms, and for certain sites the
Company is required to pay a portion of the common areas' expenses including
maintenance, real estate taxes, and other expense. Rent expense for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 was $64,584, $53,370, and $97,024,
respectively.
The Company leases certain computer equipment under agreements which have
been accounted for as capital leases. The related computer equipment had a cost
and accumulated amortization of $243,597 and $45,270, respectively, at December
31, 1997 and $740,604 and $163,467, respectively, at December 31, 1998.
Amortization of leased equipment is included in depreciation. The computer
equipment lease agreements require aggregate monthly payments ranging from $191
to $1,300 and expire at various dates through November 2000.
Future minimum lease payments for both capital and operating leases at
December 31, 1998 were as follows:

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Members have affiliated enterprises that provide a variety of services to
the Company including Internet consulting and Web page development. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company expensed payments for
services provided from these related parties of $25,700, $31,600, and $66,696,
respectively.
The Company has borrowed certain amounts from its members. No formal
written terms exist for these advances; however, because such amounts are
considered payable within the next year, the Company has classified these
advances as current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.
7. INCOME TAXES
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com') to
sell the outstanding members' interest of the Company and concurrent with the
related initial public offering of OneMain.com (as more fully described in Note
9), the Company's tax status as a partnership will terminate and, accordingly,
the Company will be subject to federal and state corporate income tax. Because
of the Company's lack of profitability since formation, deferred tax assets that
would have existed had the Company been a C Corporation of approximately
$125,000 as of December 31, 1998, would have been offset in the entirety by a
valuation allowance. Accordingly, no deferred tax assets would have been
recorded at that date.
No pro forma income tax provision (benefit) is reflected for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 because the Company would have provided a full
valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset had it been a C Corporation.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, no pro forma income tax provision is
reflected because the Company would have used net operating loss carryforwards
to offset current year taxable income.
8. ACQUISITIONS
On December 8, 1998, the Company consummated a transaction to purchase the
subscriber base of MyChoice Internet, a local ISP, and certain other assets
(including equipment, software used in the provisioning of customers, and
accounts receivable) and assume certain capital leases and customer support
obligations. In addition, the seller agreed to a noncompete period of two years
after closing. The purchase agreement required an initial payment of $14,960,
with future payments totaling $535,040 to be paid in 20 equal monthly
installments of $26,752 beginning December 15, 1998. To ensure payments of the
purchase price, a $250,000 irrevocable letter of credit has been issued by a
bank. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction and the
results of operations of the acquired company have been included in the
accompanying statements of operations since the date of acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma results of operations set forth below assumes the
acquisition of the local ISP had occurred at the beginning of the periods
presented.

9. PENDING TRANSACTION--(CONTINUED)
the consummation of the initial public offering of the common stock of
OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's members will be given additional
consideration, contingent upon certain operational and earnings margin
requirements, which shall be equal to one-fifth of the difference between total
revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended June 30, 1999 and the revenues
for the Company for the period from April 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998
multiplied by four. The amount of the additional consideration will be payable
in either cash or stock, at the option of OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the
agreement, OneMain.com will become the sole shareholder of the Company.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will continue to exist and maintain
its status as an LLC.
The related party transactions as described in Note 6 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.
10. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THE REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
On February 3, 1999, the Company entered into an additional lease
commitment related to computer equipment. The lease expires in July 2001 and the
aggregate future minimum lease payments under this lease totals approximately
$283,000.

INTERNET SOLUTIONS, LLC
(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Internet Solutions, LLC (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet
access. The Company was organized in Missouri on August 30, 1995 as a limited
liability company and began providing services on October 1, 1995. The Company's
targeted markets include rural areas in Missouri.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging between three
to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
related lease term or the useful life.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998.
Intangible Assets
The Company capitalizes specific costs incurred for the purchase of
customer bases from other Internet service providers ('ISPs'). The customer
acquisition costs are based on the value of retained customers. Amortization is
provided using the straight-line method over five years commencing when the
customer base is received.
F-172
<PAGE>
INTERNET SOLUTIONS, LLC
(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of access revenues primarily consists of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Cost of access revenues also includes
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 the Company expensed $12,857,
$19,961, and $29,993 respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
The Company is organized as a limited liability company under the laws of
the state of Missouri. Accordingly, the Company is taxed under the partnership
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ('the Code'). Under the partnership
provisions of the Code, the limited liability company members include the
Company's income on their individual tax returns. As a result, the Company is
not subject to federal and state corporate income tax.
The unaudited pro-forma income tax information included in the statements
of operations and Note 8 is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company had
been subject to federal and state income taxes for all periods presented.
If the Company had been subject to federal and certain state income taxes
for each of the two years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company would
have been in a net deferred tax asset position, which would have been fully
offset by a valuation allowance. Any tax benefit or provision for those years
also would have been fully offset by changes in the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance. Therefore, no pro-forma income tax information is reflected for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company
maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
large customer base. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their
fair value.
Compensation Expense for Members' Capital
During the period from August 30, 1995 (inception) to July 1, 1997, certain
officers of the Company performed work for the Company without drawing a salary
from the Company. The members of the Company agreed to recognize the fair value
of the work performed by the officers as a contribution to
F-173

(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Members' capital and adjusted the ownership percentages of the Company, as
stipulated in the Company's Operating Agreement, accordingly. The amount
contributed by the officers was $104,800.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are each currently acquired from varied sources. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is
building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.

5. ACQUISITION
On September 1, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with K4 Cyber
Tech Ltd. ('K4'), to acquire its list of dial-up Internet access customers for
approximately $167,000, of which approximately $43,000 represented a note
payable to K4. In addition to acquiring the list, the Company assumed a
liability of approximately $52,000 to provide services to certain of the newly
acquired customers who had already paid in advance for their services. The
non-cash portion of this transaction related to the issuance of the note payable
and the assumption of the liability have been excluded from the statement of
cash flows. To finance this transaction, the Company entered into an agreement
with a financial institution to borrow up to a
F-174

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
5. ACQUISITION--(CONTINUED)
maximum of $150,000, in the form of a line of credit, bearing variable interest
rate of prime plus 1% (8.75% at December 31, 1998) and payable at December 30,
1998. At December 30, 1998, the line of credit was amended by a reduction in the
borrowing line to $91,000 and an extension of the maturity date to April 30,
1999.
6. LINE OF CREDIT, RELATED PARTY
The Company has a short-term line of credit with a related party allowing
for borrowings of up to $200,000 based upon defined levels of accounts
receivable and inventory, which is payable on demand. Borrowings against the
line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2% (9.75% at December 31,
1998). The line is secured by certain assets.
7. COMMITMENTS
Lease Commitments
The Company leases office space from a related party and various office and
computer equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements. The leases
generally provide for renewal terms. Rent expense for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 was $0, $7,571, and $12,485, respectively. The fair
value of rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1996, associated with the
related party, is immaterial to the financial statements.
The Company leases certain equipment under capital leases. The cost of
assets under capital leases and the related accumulated amortization is $125,953
and $4,667, respectively, at December 31, 1998. Amortization expense related to
these leases is included with depreciation and amortization expense in the
statement of cash flows.
The aggregate liability for future rentals as of December 31, 1998 is as
follows:

initial public offering of OneMain.com (as more fully described in Note 9), the
Company's status as a partnership will automatically terminate and normal
federal and state corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon the
cumulative temporary

differences, the Company would have recognized a deferred federal and state
income tax expense and liability of $954 as of December 31, 1998.
9. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's members entered into an agreement whereby they
will sell their membership shares in the Company to OneMain.com. The Company's
members will exchange their shares in the Company for cash and shares of common
stock of OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the initial public
offering of the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's members
will be given additional consideration, contingent upon certain operational and
earnings margin requirements, which shall be equal to one-fifth of the
difference between total revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended June
30, 1999 and the revenues for the Company for the period from April 1, 1998
through June 30, 1998 multiplied by four. The amount of the additional
consideration will be payable in either cash or stock, at the option of
OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the
sole member of the Company. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will
continue to exist.
The related party transactions as described in Note 6 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of FGInet, Inc. as of December

equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1998. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 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 FGInet, Inc. at December 31,
1997 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
FGInet, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet access. The
Company was incorporated in Illinois on September 16, 1994 and began marketing
services in November 1994. The Company's targeted market is the State of
Illinois.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives ranging between three to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the related lease term or the
useful life.
Inventory
Inventory consists of purchased goods held for resale and is stated at the
lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Intangible Assets
The Company has recorded the value of acquired customer bases purchased
from existing companies at the estimated fair market value. These customer bases
are being amortized using the straight-line method over three years.
The Company has recorded the value of non-competition agreements entered
into with other companies purchased by the Company. These non-compete agreements
are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the specific
agreement, generally two to three years.
Stock Compensation
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ('SFAS 123'), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123 allows companies to account for stock-based
compensation under either the new provisions of SFAS 123 or the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ('APB 25'), Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, but requires pro forma disclosure in the footnotes to the
financial statements as if the measurement provisions of SFAS 123 had been
adopted. The Company has chosen to continue accounting for its stock-based
compensation in accordance with the provisions of APB 25.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenues when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenues
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenues on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
The Company does not refund advance payments in instances of contract
cancellation. The Company continues service to the customer until the contract
term expires.
Cost of Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Company expensed $26,251,
$118,769, and $204,159 respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
For tax years prior to 1997, the Company elected tax treatment as an S
corporation; accordingly, the Company was taxed under the Subchapter S
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the 'Code'). Under the Subchapter S
provisions of the Code, the stockholders included the Company's income on their
personal income tax returns. As a result, the Company was not subject to federal
and state corporate income tax during the period for which it was an S
corporation.

FGINET, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Beginning in 1997, the Company revoked its S corporation election.
Therefore, beginning in 1997, the Company was subject to normal federal and
state corporate income taxes.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company
maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
large customer base. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their
fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management believes alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are each currently acquired from two sources. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is
building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications were made to the prior period financial statements to
conform with the current period's presentation.

5. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has a noninterest bearing note payable due to a stockholder in
1999. The outstanding balance was $3,852 at December 31, 1998. The Company has a
non-interest bearing note payable due to ICEnet no later than March 30, 1999.
The amount due at maturity is $361,050.
The Company has a revolving line of credit with a financial institution.
The line of credit has a maximum borrowing amount of $80,000, provides for
interest at the institution's prime rate plus 1%, and matures on October 2,
1999. Interest is payable monthly with principal due at maturity. The line of
credit is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The
outstanding balance was $80,000 at December 31, 1998.
6. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating lease
agreements. Minimum future lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases
is summarized as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
The Company also has purchase commitments with various telecommunications
providers for internet access. These non-cancelable agreements have varying
terms and rates. No minimum purchase provisions apply to these agreements.
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 was
$10,485, $26,560, and $13,855, respectively.
7. STOCK COMPENSATION
In 1996, the Company recorded compensation expense of $75,000 for voting
common stock issued to employed stockholders at less than fair value. Fair value
for purposes of calculating compensation expense was the most recent sale price
for voting common stock sold to outside investors. The difference between this
amount and the amount paid by the employed shareholders was recorded as
compensation expense.

8. STOCK OPTIONS
The Board of Directors may grant voting and nonvoting common stock options
to employees, board members, and others who contribute materially to the success
of the Company. Stock options have been granted at prices which the Company's
Board of Directors believe approximate the fair market value of its common stock
at the date of grant, taking into consideration the stock's voting rights,
transferability and liquidity. Individual grants generally become exercisable
immediately. The contractual term of the options granted are five years from the
date of grant.
Common stock option activity was as follows:

</TABLE>
Had compensation expense related to stock options been determined based on
fair value at the grant date for options granted during the year ended December
31, 1996 and 1998, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net
loss would have been $124,364 and $131,800, respectively. All of the options
granted in 1998 are exercisable at December 31, 1998.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the minimum value option pricing fair value model with the following assumptions
used for grants in 1996 and 1998: no dividend yield, a risk-free interest rate
of 5.25%, and expected life of the option term of 4 years.
9. INCOME TAXES
Based upon cumulative temporary differences, the Company recognized a
deferred income tax liability of $9,603 as of December 31, 1997 and a deferred
tax asset (before valuation allowance) of $20,680 as of December 31, 1998. This
liability incurred in 1997 is mainly due to the book and tax timing differences
for depreciation. In addition, the income tax provision of $9,603 for 1997
differs from the anticipated statutory expense of $3,000 principally because of
the Company's change in tax status from an S corporation to a C corporation
effective January 1, 1997. For 1998, the deferred tax asset is mainly related to
the carryforward of net operating losses.
No pro forma provision for income taxes is reflected for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as the Company would have provided a full valuation allowance
against the deferred tax asset had it been a C corporation.

SUPERHIGHWAY, INC. D/B/A INDYNET
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
Superhighway, Inc. d/b/a Indynet (the 'Company'), incorporated as a
Subchapter S Corporation under the laws of Indiana on June 1, 1995, is a
regional provider of internet access. The Company's target market is central
Indiana.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber base
and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There can be
no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base will
continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability or
positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at
the time of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives ranging between three to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the related lease term or the
useful life.
Other Assets
Other assets include intangibles which have been recorded as a result of
the purchase of a competitor and will be amortized over 3 years on a straight
line basis. Other assets are net of $795 of accumulated amortization at December
31, 1998.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998.

SUPERHIGHWAY, INC. D/B/A INDYNET
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company offers monthly contracts for Internet access that are generally
billed for on the first day of the month. The Company recognizes access revenue
as services are provided.
The Company has entered into agreements to provide internet access and
other internet services to various non-profit organizations in exchange for
non-monetary goods and services. These agreements have been accounted for as
non-monetary transactions and are recorded at the value of the service provided
by the Company. During 1996, 1997 and 1998, access revenues and sales and
marketing expense include approximately $99,000, $198,000 and $297,000,
respectively, of such non-monetary transactions.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of access revenues primarily consists of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Cost of access revenues also includes
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per- user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During 1996,
1997 and 1998, the Company expensed approximately $122,000, $233,000 and
$367,000, respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
Historically, the Company has elected, by the consent of its stockholder,
to be taxed using provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (the
'Code'). Under the Subchapter S provisions of the Code, the stockholder includes
the Company's corporate income in his personal income tax return. Accordingly,
the Company was not subject to federal and state corporate income tax during the
period for which it was an S Corporation.
The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the statements
of operations and Note 7 is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company had
been subject to federal and certain state income taxes.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company
maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have generally been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
large customer base. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates fair
value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results. Although
the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products, its modems,
terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important components
of its network, are each currently acquired from numerous sources.

DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997, AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
In addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and
production capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as
it is building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs
in the expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 1996 and 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1998 financial statement presentation.
3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following:

The Company has a $300,000 short-term line of credit with a bank.
Borrowings against the line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1%
(8.75% at December 31, 1998). The line is secured by all business assets and is
personally guaranteed by the sole stockholder. Borrowings of $50,000 and $80,000
were outstanding against the line at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

7. INCOME TAXES
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com') to
sell the outstanding stock of the Company and concurrent with the related
initial public offering of OneMain.com (as more fully described in Note 9), the
Company's status as an S Corporation under the Code will automatically terminate
and normal federal and state corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon
the cumulative temporary differences, the Company would have recognized a
deferred tax liability of $40,000 as of December 31, 1998, had the termination
of its election to be treated as an S Corporation occurred on that date.
8. ACQUISITION
During 1998, the Company purchased the computer equipment and customer
lists of another Internet service provider for $23,844. The purchase price was
allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values at
the date of acquisition. The estimated fair value of the computer equipment was
$7,640 at the acquisition date and the remaining $16,204 was recorded as an
intangible.
9. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1998, the Company's stockholder entered into an agreement whereby he
will sell his shares in the Company to OneMain.com. The Company's stockholder
will exchange his shares in the Company for cash and shares of common stock of
OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the initial public offering of
the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the Company's stockholder will be
given additional consideration, contingent upon certain operational and earnings
margin requirements, which shall be equal to one-fifth of the difference between
total revenue for the Company for the 12 months ended June 30, 1999 and the
revenues for the Company for the period from April 1, 1998, through June 30,
1998, multiplied by four. The amount of the additional consideration will be
payable in either cash or stock, at the option of OneMain.com. Upon consummation
of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the sole stockholder of the Company.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company will continue to exist.
The related party transactions as described in Note 6 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related statements of operations,
stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended

Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free

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 Lightspeed Net, Inc. at
December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's recurring
losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters are also described in
Note 2. The 1998 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LIGHTSPEED NET, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
1. ORGANIZATION
Lightspeed Net, Inc. (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet
access with targeted markets in central California. The Internet business
operated as a line of business of Lightspeed Software, an affiliated company
which is wholly owned by the sole shareholder of the Company, from March 27,
1995 through December 31, 1996. On June 28, 1996 the Company was incorporated
and became a separate company beginning January 1, 1997.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1998. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the
financial statements include revenues and cost of revenues directly attributable
to internet services and expenses which have been allocated from Lightspeed
Software on a specific identification basis. Further, the Company shared certain
employees and other resources with Lightspeed Software. Allocations from
Lightspeed Software for indirect expenses for such shared resources have been
made primarily on a proportional cost allocation method. Management believes
these allocations are reasonable and that such expenses would not differ
materially had the Company operated on a stand-alone basis for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The financial statements of the Company do not necessarily
reflect the results of operations or financial position that would have existed
had the Company been an independent company.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and
has had negative cash flows from operations in all periods except the period
ended December 31, 1998. In addition, management anticipates that its cash and
working capital requirements in the short term cannot be met entirely from funds
generated internally from operations.
Management's operational and financing plans to address the above issues
include continued focus on increasing its subscriber base and geographic
coverage and obtaining equity and debt financing. The online services and
internet markets are highly competitive. The Company believes that existing
competitors, internet-based services, internet service providers, internet
directory services and telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their
service offerings resulting in greater competition for the Company. The
competitive conditions could have the following effects: require additional
pricing programs; increase marketing spending; limit the Company's ability to
expand its subscriber base and result in increased attrition in the existing
subscriber base. There can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues
or subscriber base will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or
sustain profitability or positive cash flow. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging between three
to seven years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Management periodically determines whether any property or equipment or any
other assets have been impaired based on the criteria established in Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. When indicators of
impairment of long-lived assets to be disposed of are present and the discounted
future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets is less than the
carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss would be recorded by the
Company. No such impairment losses have been identified by the Company.
Stock Compensation
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation ('SFAS 123'). SFAS 123 allows companies to account for stock-based
compensation under either the new provisions of SFAS 123 or the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees ('APB 25'), but requires pro forma disclosure in the footnotes to the
financial statements as if the measurement provisions of SFAS 123 had been
adopted. The Company has chosen to continue accounting for its stock-based
compensation in accordance with the provisions of APB 25.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for internet access which are billed in
the month prior to the month of service. The Company has deferred recognizing
revenue on these advance billings until earned.
In June 1995, the Company entered into a strategic alliance with ACN
Communications ('ACN'), which provides for ACN to sell internet services
provided by the Company as part of a telecommunications bundle of services. ACN
markets, invoices and collects for these internet services provided by the
Company. In return, ACN retains approximately 30% of the revenues received for
these services, or a minimum of $22,000 per month. The remainder of the revenues
are paid to the Company. Revenues from this alliance are included in access
revenues in the statement of operations.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of access revenues primarily consists of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Cost of access revenues also includes
fees paid to lease the Company's backbone, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, and product costs.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the Company expensed $201,276,
$254,510 and $274,284, respectively, as advertising costs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Historically, the Company has elected, by consent of its sole stockholder,
to be taxed as a subchapter S corporation, as provided by the Internal Revenue
Code and the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Accordingly, the Company's
results of operations are reported in the individual income tax return of the
sole shareholder. The Company recorded California franchise tax provisions of
$800 for each of the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company
maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
large customer base. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their
fair value.
Reclassifications
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current year presentation.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Disruption of these services could have an adverse
effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are each currently acquired from primarily one source
for each product. In addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited
resources and production capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the
Company's needs as it is building out its network infrastructure, then delays
and increased costs in the expansion of the Company's network infrastructure
could result, having an adverse effect on operating results.
3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following:

5. STOCK OPTION PLAN
On July 24, 1998, the Company adopted the Lightspeed Net, Inc. Grant of
Incentive Stock Option (Option Plan) which permits the Company to grant stock
options to the Company's President. Under the Option Plan, the Company's
President may purchase up to eleven shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of $33,333.63 per share, the fair market value of the common stock on the
grant date as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The options
granted under the Option Plan are fully vested and shall expire five years from
the date of grant. Subsequent to year end this award was modified. Refer to Note
9 for a possible settlement of these options.
Stock option activity was as follows:

</TABLE>
Had compensation expense related to the Option Plan been determined based
on fair value at the grant date for options granted during the year ended
December 31, 1998 under the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net loss would
have been increased by $10,017. The effect of applying SFAS 123 for purposes of
recognizing compensation expense is not necessarily representative of the
effects on reported net income for future periods.
The fair value of the option grant was estimated on the date of grant using
the minimum value option pricing fair value model as provided for under SFAS
123, with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1998:
dividend yield of 0%, a risk-free interest rate of 5.54%, and expected life of
the option term of six months. The weighted average fair values of the options
granted in 1998 with a stock price equal to the exercise price is $10,017.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
5. STOCK OPTION PLAN--(CONTINUED)
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had no reserved shares of common stock
for future issuance under the Option Plan.
6. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
On December 28, 1989, Lightspeed Software, formerly known as MacSoft,
entered into the MacSoft Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the Profit Plan). As the
shareholder has started additional companies, the Profit Plan has covered the
employees of those companies. Under the terms of the Profit Plan, the sole
shareholder of the Company historically contributed 15% of the base salaries for
all eligible employees to the plan. An employee becomes eligible for the Profit
Plan after reaching the age of 21 and completing one year of service with the
Company. Benefits under the Profit Plan vest at a rate of 20% per year after
three to seven years of service. The Profit Plan for the Company and the
affiliated companies is administered by a third party. Voluntary contributions
to the Profit Plan in the amounts of $90,689, and $49,434 were made by the
Company for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In January
1999, the Company decided to make a voluntary contribution for the year ended
December 31, 1998 in the amount of $168,175, which has been accrued as of
December 31, 1998.
7. INCOME TAXES
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com') to
sell the outstanding stock of the Company and concurrent with the related
initial public offering of OneMain.com as more fully described in Note 9, the
Company's status as an S Corporation under the Code will automatically terminate
and normal federal and state corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon
the cumulative temporary differences, the Company would have recognized a
deferred federal and state income tax asset of $59,748 as of December 31, 1998,
with a full valuation allowance had the termination of its election to be
treated as an S Corporation occurred on that date.
No pro forma income tax benefit is reflected for years ended December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996 as the Company would have provided a full valuation
allowance against the deferred tax asset had it been a C Corporation.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company provides loans to its employees which are payable monthly and
bear an interest rate of 10%. Amounts receivable from employee loans at December
31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 were $15,204, $17,758, and $0, respectively and are
included in other assets on the balance sheet.
The Company purchases most of its computer equipment from Lightspeed
Technologies, Inc, an affiliated company which is wholly owned by the sole
shareholder of the Company. Purchases from Lightspeed Technologies, Inc. for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, were $871,192, $877,373, and
$1,042,327, respectively. The Company believes that such purchases were made at
the fair market value of the assets acquired.
The Company leases a customer service center from the sole shareholder of
the Company. Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997,
and 1996, were $60,280, $60,000, and $9,300, respectively. On November 10, 1998,
the Company entered a new agreement effective December 1, 1998 for three years
increasing the monthly rent to $5,280 per month.
On November 11, 1998, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a 36
strand fiber optic connection between two of its facilities from Lightspeed
Software. The lease agreement is effective December 1, 1998 for three years at
$900 per month.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
9. PENDING TRANSACTION
The Company's stockholder has entered into an agreement whereby he will
sell his shares in the Company to OneMain.com, Inc. ('OneMain.com'). The
Company's sole stockholder will exchange the shares in the Company for cash and
shares of common stock of OneMain.com concurrently with the consummation of the
initial public offering of the common stock of OneMain.com. Additionally, the
Company's stockholder will be given additional consideration, contingent upon
certain operational and earnings margin requirements, which shall be equal to
one-fifth of the difference between total revenue for the Company for the 12
months ended June 30, 1999 and the revenues for the Company for the period from
April 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 multiplied by four. The amount of the
additional consideration will be payable in either cash or stock, at the option
of OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the agreement, OneMain.com will become the
sole stockholder of the Company, and subsequent to the acquisition, the Company
will continue to exist. In connection with this agreement, the outstanding stock
options will be canceled by a payment to the holder. As a result, in the period
of cancellation the Company will recognize compensation expense equal to the
amount payable for the cancellation.
The related party transactions as described in Note 8 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Stockholders of
JPS.Net Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of JPS.Net Corporation ('the
Company'), as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the period January 31,
1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1998.
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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of JPS.Net
Corporation at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the period January 31, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997
and for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's recurring
losses from operations and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these
matters are also described in Note 2. The 1998 financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

JPS.NET CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
JPS.Net Corporation (the 'Company') is a regional provider of Internet
access. The Company was incorporated on January 31, 1997 under the laws of the
State of California. All of the Company's stock was issued to two individuals
for cash. These individuals had computer sales and consulting experience and in
the months preceding the Company's incorporation, had begun to provide Internet
access services to subscribers.
The Company was formed with the intention of building an Internet access
subscriber base and geographic coverage. The on-line services and Internet
markets are highly competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors,
Internet-based services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services
and telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation
of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses of
$992,667 and $911,860 for the period from January 31, 1997 (date of inception)
to December 31, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1998, respectively.
These losses have significantly weakened the Company's financial position and
its ability to purchase equipment and meet current operating expenses, and at
December 31, 1998, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets
by $3,388,994. Management believes that actions presently being taken, as
described below, will provide the Company with sufficient funds to continue as a
going concern.
Effective November 1, 1998, the Company increased the prices it charges for
its services by approximately 40%. The increase in prices charged is essential
as the Company has no other immediate plans that will provide sufficient cash
flows to meet current operating requirements. In the event the increase in
prices reduces the number of customers substantially, the Company has plans to
substantially reduce its staffing.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts or classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current
year presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
At December 31, 1998, approximately $1,376,000 and $504,000 of the
Company's cash and cash equivalents were held by Westamerica and National Bank
of the Redwoods, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging between three
to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
related lease term or the useful life.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided.
Costs of Access Revenues
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
reproduction fees for Web JPS.NET CORPORATION browser software, other license
fees paid to third-party software vendors and product costs.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
period from January 31, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997 and for the year
ended December 31, 1998, the Company expensed $292,631 and $546,729,
respectively, as advertising costs.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ('SFAS 109'), Accounting for Income
Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109,
the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and
accounts receivable. Management believes that the credit risk related to its
deposits with financial institutions is minimal.
F-216
<PAGE>
JPS.NET CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
The Company grants credit without collateral to its customers, however,
ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed. The
Company maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the
Company's large customer base.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Company attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, are each currently acquired from varied sources. In
addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as it is
building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.
3. RESTRICTED CASH
In 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution
(the 'Institution') whereby the Institution provided credit card processing and
payment services to the Company. As a requirement of performing the services,
the Institution required that the Company pay for such services and maintain an
amount on deposit with the Institution equal to 10% of the total dollar amount
of credit card receipts processed by the Institution on behalf of the Company
over the course of the immediately preceding six months. Any amounts exceeding
the 10% threshold described above were deposited in the Company's operating bank
account. The Institution reserves the right to use the deposit as its first
recourse to offset any losses it may incur due to the inability of the Company
to perform services where payment was received in advance from customers, and
where the Institution might be held liable by the customer or another financial
institution under the terms of the credit card agreements with such customers or
financial institutions. As of December 31, 1998 the total amounts held on
reserve by the Institution were approximately $327,000.
4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

5. NOTE PAYABLE TO FORMER STOCKHOLDER
In September 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with a stockholder
whereby the Company agreed to repurchase all of the outstanding shares held by
the stockholder for $1,075,000. A note payable to the stockholder, in the amount
of $1,075,000, bearing an annual interest rate of 7%, was issued by the Company
at September 30, 1998, in exchange for the 340,190 shares held by the
stockholder. The fair value
F-217
<PAGE>
JPS.NET CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
5. NOTE PAYABLE TO FORMER STOCKHOLDER--(CONTINUED)
of the shares repurchased was established based on an bona fide offer to
purchase all the outstanding shares of the Company by another entity for
approximately $15,800,000. This offer was rejected by the Company. In accordance
with Accounting Research Bulletin 43, the Company chose to allocate the purchase
price of the stock between common stock and retained deficit. As a result, as of
September 30, 1998, common stock was reduced by $909 or $0.0027 per share, based
on the price paid by the stockholder at time of purchase. The remainder, or
$1,074,091, was allocated to retained deficit.
Scheduled payments of principal on the note payable for the next five years
are as follows:

6. LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company leases office space and various office and computer equipment
under noncancelable operating lease agreements. The leases generally provide for
renewal terms. Rent expense for the period January 31, 1997 (inception) to
December 31, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 was approximately
$78,000 and $233,000, respectively.
Minimum future lease payments under operating leases are summarized as

The Company is in a net deferred tax asset position at December 31, 1997

of the Company's history of operating losses, the Company has established a
valuation reserve for the entire amount of the net deferred tax assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
7. INCOME TAXES--(CONTINUED)
The income tax provisions for Federal and state income taxes for both the
period from January 31, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997 and the year ended
December 31, 1998 are zero.
The Company did not recognize an income tax benefit for the period from
January 31, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 1997 nor for the year ended
December 31, 1998 of approximately $310,000 and $405,000, respectively, due to
aforementioned uncertainties concerning the Company's ability to realize
deferred tax assets.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company had notes receivable from related parties which totaled $91,661
and $292,101 as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The first note
receivable amounted to $46,702 and $163,438 as of December 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, and relates to a line of credit to a stockholder approved by the
Company. The line of credit may not exceed $300,000. The note is payable on
demand and accrues interest at a rate of 5% annually on unpaid balances. The
second note receivable amounted to $44,959 and $116,112 as of December 31, 1997
and 1998, respectively, and relates to a loan made by the Company to a former
stockholder. The note is payable on demand and accrues interest at a rate of 7%
annually on unpaid balances. A third note receivable amounted to $12,551 as of
December 31, 1998 and reflects to a loan made by the Company to a related
company. The note is payable on demand and accrues interest at a rate of 5%
annually on unpaid balances.
The Company had two notes payable which it assumed on behalf of a related
party and which amounted to $19,139 at December 31, 1997. The first note payable
amounted to $8,396 as of December 31, 1997, and related to a loan by an
acquaintance of a stockholder of the Company, which was assumed by the Company
upon its incorporation. The note was paid off in full in 1998. The second note
payable, which amounted to $10,743 at December 31, 1997, related to a loan by a
relative of a stockholder of the Company, which was assumed by the Company upon
its incorporation. The note was paid off in full in 1998.
9. LITIGATION
The Company is involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. After consultation with legal counsel, management anticipates that
these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position.
10. PENDING TRANSACTION
The Company and its stockholders have entered into an agreement whereby the
stockholders will sell their stock in the Company to OneMain.com, Inc.
('OneMain.com'). The Company's stockholders will exchange their stock in the
Company for cash and shares of common stock of OneMain.com concurrently with the
consummation of the initial public offering of the common stock of OneMain.com.
Additionally, the Company's stockholders will be given additional consideration,
contingent upon certain operational and earnings margin requirements, which
shall be equal to one-half of the difference between total revenue for the
Company for the 12 months ended September 30, 1999 and the revenues for the
Company for the period from June 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998 multiplied
by four. The amount of the additional consideration will be payable in either
cash or stock, at the option of OneMain.com. Upon consummation of the
acquisition, OneMain.com will become the sole stockholder of the Company.
The related party transactions as described in Note 8 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
TGF Technologies, Inc. (the 'Company') or ('TGF') was incorporated in
Vermont on May 9, 1994 and commenced operations in November 1994. The stock of
the Company is owned by NWST Corporation and Together Foundation for Global
Unity (the 'Foundation'). The Company is a regional provider of Internet access
and offers a broad spectrum of Internet access services to both individual and
business customers ranging from dial-up services to continuous access services
using dedicated telephone connections and Web hosting services. The principal
market areas are Vermont, Central New Hampshire, Eastern New York and to a
lesser extent, Southeastern Quebec.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) 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.
(B) REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CUSTOMER DEPOSITS
The Company recognizes revenue when services are provided. Services are
generally billed one month in advance. Advance billings are recorded as deferred
revenue and recognized as revenue when earned. Collections relating to future
access services are recorded as customer deposits.
(C) BARTERED SERVICES
The Company participates in bartered services transactions with certain
media organizations. In exchange for free Internet service from the Company,
these organizations provide advertising services to the Company. The Company
also provides Internet access to various local organizations at no charge. These
transactions are recognized by the Company as Internet access revenues and
marketing expense in equal amounts at the fair value of Internet access services
provided by the Company. The Company has recognized bartered services
transactions in the amount of $30,900, $63,720 and $93,480 in 1996, 1997 and
1998, respectively.
(D) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
(E) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for
property and equipment acquired after January 1, 1996. Property and equipment
acquired prior to January 1, 1996 are depreciated using the double declining
balance method. The estimated useful lives of the assets range from three (3) to
seven (7) years. The Company leases certain of its data communications and other
equipment under capital lease agreements. The assets and liabilities under
capital leases are recorded at the lesser of the present value of aggregate
future minimum lease payments or the fair value of the assets under the lease.
Assets under capital lease are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or
the lease term as applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
(F) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(G) FOREIGN CURRENCY
The Company transacts some of its business in Canadian dollars. This
activity has been remeasured into the Company's functional currency (U.S.
dollars) as of year end. Foreign exchange gain or loss is recorded as a
component of general and administrative expense, and was not material in 1996,
1997 and 1998.
(H) ADVERTISING COSTS
The Company incurs advertising costs associated with the marketing of its
services. These costs of advertising are expensed either as incurred or the
first time the advertising takes place, depending on the nature of expense.
Advertising expense, including advertising expense related to bartered
transactions, totaled $70,077, $199,065 and $157,196 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
(I) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of. The Company has determined there has been no impairment to the
carrying values of such assets.
(J) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The concentration
of credit risk is mitigated by the large customer base.
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
The carrying value of short-term financial instruments, including cash and
cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and payable and certain accrued
liabilities, approximates their carrying amounts in the financial statements due
to the short maturity of such instruments. The carrying amount of note payable-
related party approximates its fair value based on the Company's ability to
obtain borrowings with similar terms from a related party.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
(K) RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ('SFAS 130'), Comprehensive Income which
is required to be adopted in the year ended December 31, 1998. SFAS 130 requires
that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their
nature in the financial statements, and (b) display the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional
paid-in capital in the Statement of Stockholders' Equity. The adoption of SFAS
130 did not have any effect on the Company's financial statements as the Company
does not have any elements of comprehensive income.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ('SFAS 131'), Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information, which is required to be adopted for
the year ended December 31, 1998. SFAS 131 changes the way public companies
report segment information in annual financial statements and also requires
those companies to report selected segment information in interim financial
reports to stockholders. Because the Company has only one reportable segment,
the additional disclosures for segment information on the financial statements
are not required.
In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1
('SOP 98-1') Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained
for Internal Use. The SOP requires that certain costs related to the development
or purchase of internal-use software be capitalized and amortized over the
estimated useful life of the software. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. TGF
adopted the SOP early as of January 1, 1998. There was no significant impact on
the Company's financial statements upon adoption of this pronouncement.
Commitments
In order to provide local access numbers to its current subscriber base,
the Company must enter into agreements with various providers to provide
telecommunications lines. The terms of the agreements vary in length but
generally do not exceed five years. In the event TGF no longer required the
service of these telecommunications lines the Company would be liable for
termination fees levied by such providers.
3. LEASES
The Company leases certain equipment under capital lease agreements that
expire at various dates through December 2002. At December 31, 1997 and 1998,
the gross amount of equipment and related accumulated amortization recorded
under capital leases were as follows:

Amortization of assets held under capital lease is included with
depreciation expense.
The Company also has several operating leases, primarily for office space
and office equipment, with expiration dates through October 2001. Rental expense
for operating leases during 1996, 1997 and 1998 was $24,795, $88,514 and
$143,835, respectively.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company leases office space from a company related by common ownership.
The lease is an informal agreement for $1,000 a month through June 30, 1997 and
$2,500 a month thereafter. Rent expense in 1996, 1997 and 1998 was $12,000,
$21,000 and $30,000, respectively. Rent payable of $13,000 and $1,000 at
December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, is included in accounts payable.
The Company pays some operating expenses, such as postage, telephone and
employee benefits, for the Foundation. In addition, the Company collects some
cash receipts for credit card sales by the Foundation. The expenses generally
exceed the cash receipts and the Foundation reimburses the Company monthly. At
December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company has recorded a receivable of $614 and
$5,938, respectively, from the Foundation.
During 1996 the Company provided consulting services to a related company
by common ownership in the amount of $19,000. This amount is reflected in other
revenue for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The Chairperson of the Board of Directors (a related party by common stock
ownership) provides financial support to the Company for operating needs.
Capital contributions in the amounts of $440,330, $543,495 and $530,000 were
contributed by this related party to TGF during 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. During 1998 the Company borrowed $250,000 from the Chairperson.
The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Grid, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of The Grid, Inc. (the Company)
as of December 31,1998, and the related statements of operations, stockholders
deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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
in the United States. 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 The Grid, Inc. at December
31,1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Companys working capital
deficit and recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters
are also described in Note 2. The 1998 financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE GRID, INC.
NOTES TO FINANICAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
The Grid, Inc. (the Company) is a regional provider of Internet access, as
well as design and hosting services for world wide web sites. The Company was
incorporated in Delaware on February 4, 1997. The Companys targeted markets are
the states of California and Nevada.
The Company expects to continue focusing on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Companys ability to expand its subscriber base;
and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There can be
no assurance that growth in the Companys revenues or subscriber base will
continue or that the Company will be able to sustain profitability or positive
cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation
of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred cumulative losses
from operations of approximately $1,664,227, through December 31, 1998 and has
working capital and stockholders deficits of $2,241,552 and $1,611,527,
respectively as of that date. The combination of these factors raises
substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions currently being taken, as described below,
will provide the Company with sufficient funds to continue as a going concern.
Such actions include, but are not limited to, operating under a newly signed
telephone service agreement with a competitive local exchange carrier which is
expected to reduce the cost of telephone services provided to its subscriber
base, continued investments in its network infrastructure to increase its
network efficiency and capacity to serve additional subscribers and employing
marketing strategies to increase its subscriber base. In addition, the Company
implemented certain cost containment strategies in the last quarter of 1998
which it believes will improve prospective operating results.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
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.

NOTES TO FINANICAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment, and software are stated at cost. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
ranging between three to five years.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
When indicators of impairment are present, management determines whether
any property or equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the
criteria established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of assets
during the year ended December 31, 1998.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue on
these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a straight-line
basis as the services are provided.
The Company provides Internet access services to certain organizations in
exchange for advertising. Revenue and corresponding advertising expense in the
amount of $223,863 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 1998 relating
to these non-monetary transactions. The Company values these non-monetary
transactions based upon the fair value of the Internet access services provided.
COST OF REVENUES
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Companys backbone and other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
ADVERTISING COSTS
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
year ended December 31, 1998, the Company expensed $702,943, as advertising
costs. As noted above, $223,863 of costs recorded in 1998 related to
non-monetary transactions.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The
liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded
based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as
temporary differences. Temporary differences result from the use of different
accounting methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The cash is held by a high-credit quality financial institution. For accounts
receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
payment history and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains
reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within managements
expectations. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their fair
value.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
SOURCES OF SUPPLIES
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
In addition, some of the Company's suppliers have limited resources and
production capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Company's needs as
it is building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs
in the expansion of the Company's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and in compliance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire year.

been accounted for as capital leases. The related computer equipment has a cost
of $2,048,918 and accumulated amortization of $427,440 at December 31, 1998.
The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease

under a non-cancelable operating sub-lease agreement. The original lease
agreement and the sub-lease agreement expire on December 31, 1999. The aggregate
future payments to be paid under the original lease agreement exceed the
aggregate future sub-lease payments anticipated to be received under the
sub-lease agreement by $32,160. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a
liability to recognize the loss associated with the sub-lease agreement.

THE INTERNET RAMP, INC.
(A DIVISION OF RAPID DATA, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
The Internet Ramp (the Division), a division of Rapid Data, Inc., is a
regional provider of Internet access as well as design and hosting services for
world wide web sites. The Division's targeted market is the state of Michigan.
Rapid Data, Inc. was incorporated in Michigan on August 24, 1983 as Midwest
Microsystems, Inc.
The Division expects to continue focusing on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Division believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Division. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Division's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Division's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Division will be able to sustain profitability or
positive cash flow.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
For operational and financial reporting purposes, The Internet Ramp was run
as a separate division which operated in facilities autonomous to Rapid Data,
Inc.'s other operations. There were no common expenses that were shared between
Rapid Data, Inc.'s individual divisions. Accordingly, the expenses reflected on
The Internet Ramp's statements of operations represent the costs incurred
directly by that division.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment purchased by Rapid Data, Inc. on behalf of the
Division, including equipment under capital lease and leasehold improvements,
are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives ranging between five and seven years.
Amortization on leasehold improvements is calculated over the shorter of the
remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Division reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such
assets may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of
such assets (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the
carrying value, the Division's policy is to record a write-down that is
determined based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and
its estimated fair value.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Division to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The cash is held by a
high credit quality financial institution.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Division recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Division offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid in advance by customers. The Division has deferred recognizing revenue on
these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a straight-line
basis as the services are provided.
The Division provides Internet access services in exchange for promotional
and other services. Revenue and corresponding expenses in the amount of $91,300
and $29,100 were recorded during the year ended December 31, 1998 and three
months ended March 31, 1999 respectively. The Division values these non-monetary
transactions based upon the fair value of the Internet access services provided.
COST OF REVENUES
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Division's backbone and other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED FOR INTERNAL USE
In March 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-1, Accounting For the Costs of
Computer Software Developed For or Obtained For Internal Use. The SOP, which was
adopted as of the beginning of 1997, requires capitalization of certain costs
incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software. Prior
to adoption, the Division expensed such costs as incurred. Capitalized internal
use software costs are $103,000 and $121,000 at December 31, 1998 and March 31,
1999, respectively.
ADVERTISING COSTS
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
year ended December 31, 1998 and three months ended March 31, 1999, the Division
expensed $83,000 and $27,000, respectively, as advertising and promotion costs.
INCOME TAXES
The statements of operations include an income tax provision for the
operations of the Division on a pro forma basis as if it were a C-corporation.
The Division accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The
liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded
based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as
temporary differences. Temporary differences result from the use of different
accounting methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
SOURCES OF SUPPLIES
The Division relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management feels alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Although the Division attempts to maintain vendors for required products,
its modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network, each are currently acquired from various sources. In
addition, some of the Division's suppliers have limited resources and production
capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the Division's needs as it is
building out its network infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the
expansion of the Division's network infrastructure could result, having an
adverse effect on operating results.
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and in compliance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire year.
3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE--STOCKHOLDER OF RAPID DATA, INC.
The Division periodically advances funds to the stockholder of Rapid Data,
Inc. with no formal repayment terms. There was $11,563 and $263,876 due from the
stockholder at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, respectively.

Rapid Data, Inc. leases certain computer equipment on behalf of the
Division under agreements which are accounted for as capital leases. At December
31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, the underlying computer equipment had a cost of
$720,326 and accumulated amortization of $180,802 and $270,842, respectively.
Minimum future lease payments under operating leases related to the
Division together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments under
capital leases as of March 31, 1999 are summarized as follows:

7. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of the Division's assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting
purposes. The Division has recorded a valuation allowance against the net
deferred tax asset because it is unlikely that the asset will be recognized on a
combined basis.
Significant components of the Division's deferred tax assets and
liabilities at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 are as follows:

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On June 30, 1999, the shareholder of Rapid Data, Inc. sold all of the
issued and outstanding shares to OneMain.com, Inc. for approximately $13.3
million in a combination of cash and stock. Prior to closing, the assets and
liabilities of the other division of Rapid Data, Inc. were sold to certain
employees.
9. READINESS FOR THE YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Division's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
00 as the year 1900 rather that the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.
The Division is aware of the implications associated with the year 2000 as
it relates to software information systems and other outside implications on the
Division's operations, including the potential impact on its customers and major
vendors. The year 2000 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Division's current information systems because current software is either
already year 2000 compliant or required changes are currently underway.
Management does not anticipate significant delays or implementation issues
related to updates and conversions to year 2000 compliant systems. The Division
does not believe it is exposed to a significant risk related to services
provided, or expected to be provided, to its customers related to the Year 2000
Issue. As a result, the Division does not anticipate that incremental
expenditures to ensure that its information systems are year 2000 compliant or
contingencies related to services provided will be material to the Division's
liquidity, financial position or results of operations over the next few years.
Any costs that may arise will be capitalized to the extent such costs represent

replacements of current systems or new systems and will be expensed as incurred
to the extent that such costs represent repairs, maintenance or upgrades to
existing systems.
The Division has completed an assessment of its Year 2000 Issues and is in
the process of modifying or replacing portions of its business software and
equipment so that its computer systems are year 2000 compliant prior to December
31, 1999.

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 as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND DEFERRED REVENUE
The Company provides either a monthly or an annual billing option for
Internet service, each of which is in advance of the service provided.
Accordingly, these advance billings are included in accounts receivable and
deferred revenue.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial
condition, and generally no collateral is required. Concentrations of credit
risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of
customers comprising the Company's customer base. Reserves for potential credit
losses are established when, in managements estimate, collectibility becomes
doubtful.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using
straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives of five
to ten years.
The Company leases certain of its data communications and other equipment
under capital lease agreements. The assets and liabilities under capital lease
are recorded at the lesser of the present value of aggregate future minimum
lease payments, including estimated bargain purchase options, or the fair value
of the assets under lease. Assets under capital lease are amortized using the
straight-line method over the lesser of their estimated useful lives of three to
five years or the term of the lease.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other long-lived assets have been impaired based on the
criteria established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be

Disposed Of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the years ended December 31, 1998.
DEFERRED DOMAIN COSTS
Deferred domain costs represent the cost to acquire the domain name which
is amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen years.
INCOME TAXES
Historically, the Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has
elected to be treated as an S Corporation for both Federal and state income tax
purposes under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code). As a result, the stockholders are taxed on their proportionate share of
the Company's taxable income and such taxes, if any, are determined at the
stockholders level. Accordingly, the Company was not subject to Federal and
state corporate income tax during the period which it was an S Corporation.
The pro forma income tax information included with the statements of operations
and Note 9 is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company had been
subject to Federal and certain state income taxes for the year ended December
31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Access revenues consist of annual and monthly fees charged to customers for
Internet access and other ongoing services which are recognized over the period
services are provided. Other revenues represent web page development sales and
installation charges which are recorded as earned.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure as well as costs related to the Company's
backbone.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing. Such costs are
expensed as incurred. Advertising costs during 1998 amounted to $93,044.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No.
123). SFAS No. 123 permits the Company to continue accounting for stock-based
compensation as set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB Opinion No. 25) and related
interpretations provided the Company discloses the pro forma effect on
operations adopting the full provisions of SFAS No. 123.
SOURCES OF SUPPLIES
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management believes alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and in compliance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for an entire year.

6. RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company maintains a 401(k) cash or deferred profit-sharing plan
covering substantially all employees. Under the terms of this plan, the Company
makes discretionary contributions. Employer contributions payable for the year
ended December 31, 1998 amounted to $2,870.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company purchases computer equipment and programming services from
Computer Science Resources, Inc., which is owned by the Company's Vice
President. During the year ended December 31, 1998, payments to Computer Science
Resources, Inc. totaled $141,795.
8. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company periodically grants options to purchase shares of its common
stock to employees in recognition of outstanding performance. As of December 31,
1998, options to purchase up to 34,000 shares, in increments of not less than
1,000 shares, at a purchase price of $1 per share are outstanding. These
options, if not exercised, will expire on various dates from May 2002 through
March 2003. There were no shares issued as a result of option exercises during
the year ended December 31, 1998.
Shares acquired as a result of exercise of these options are restricted and
subject to redemption, at the original purchase price plus 8% per annum, if the
optionees employment with the Company is terminated. Options granted vest
immediately.

8. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN--(CONTINUED)
During the years ended December 31, 1998 activity related to stock options
was as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1998
------------------------
NUMBER PRICE PER
OF SHARES SHARE
---------- ----------

--------- --------
End of period................................................. 34,000 $ 1
--------- --------
--------- --------
Exercisable................................................... 34,000 $ 1
--------- --------
--------- --------
</TABLE>
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for stock options. Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized
only if options are granted at a price below fair value. Had compensation cost
for the stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates
for awards consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the effect on the
Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1998, would have been
insignificant.
9. INCOME TAX
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. (OneMain.com) to
sell the outstanding stock of the Company, the Company's status as an S
Corporation under the Code will automatically terminate and Federal and state
corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon the cumulative temporary
differences, the Company would have recognized a deferred Federal and state
income tax asset of $66,075 and $76,238 as of December 31, 1998 and June 30,
1999, respectively, had the termination of its election to be treated as an S
Corporation occurred on those dates.
The pro forma provision for income taxes is reflected on the statement of
operations for each of the three periods ended December 31, 1998 and the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, as if the Company had been a C Corporation.
No pro forma income tax provision or benefit is reflected as the Company would
have provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset had it
been a C Corporation.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On September 30, 1999, the stockholders of the Company sold all of the
issued and outstanding shares to OneMain.com, Inc. for approximately $8.6
million in a combination of cash and stock.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
Cape Internet (the Company) is a regional provider of Internet access as
well as design and hosting services for World Wide Web sites. The Company is
based in Osterville, Massachusetts and provides Internet-related services
primarily in the New England area.
The Company expects to continue focusing on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The on-line services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to sustain profitability or
positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements present the combined financial
position and the combined results of operations and cash flows of Cape Internet,
Inc. and New England Access Corp. as of December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 and
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
financial statements have been presented on a combined basis because they share
common ownership and management and provide similar services.
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 financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives ranging between three and seven years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over their estimated useful life.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may
not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of such
assets (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying
value, the Company's policy is to record a write-down that is determined based
on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair
value.
F-266
<PAGE>
CAPE INTERNET
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue on
these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a straight-line
basis as the services are provided. The Company records a reserve for the
estimated amount of uncollectible accounts for customers who are provided credit
terms. No revenue is recognized during a subscriber cancellation period.
Other revenues include network installation, maintenance and web design.
These services are provided on a time and materials basis and revenue is
recognized based upon time (at established rates) and other direct costs as
incurred.
COST OF REVENUES
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone and other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
ADVERTISING COSTS
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
year ended December 31, 1998, and six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company
expensed $464,261 and $400,640, respectively, as advertising costs.
INCOME TAXES
These combined financial statements report the affect of income taxes on
Cape Internet, Inc. and New England Access Corp.
For income tax reporting purposes, Cape Internet, Inc. is a C corporation
and accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The liability method
provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the
difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
Temporary differences result from the use of different accounting methods for
financial and income tax reporting purposes.
In contrast, New England Access Corp. has elected, by the consent of its
stockholder, to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal
Revenue Code (the Code). Under the Subchapter S provisions of the Code, the
stockholder includes the Company's corporate income in his personal income tax
return. Accordingly, New England Access Corp. was not subject to Federal and
state corporate income tax during the period for which it was an S corporation
and thus no provision for Federal and state income taxes is reflected in the
accompanying combined financial statements as they relate to New England Access
Corp.
SOURCES OF SUPPLIES
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Further, substantially all of the Company's digital
data transport is provided by a third party provider. Although management feels
alternative telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any
disruption of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
Two major suppliers provided the Company with approximately 80% and 66% of
total cost of access revenues during the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.

ended June 30, 1999, respectively. The following table reconciles the difference
between the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying
statutory rates to the pretax income of Cape Internet, Inc. and the amount
presented in the accompanying combined statements of operations:

Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. (OneMain.com) to
sell the outstanding stock of New England Access Corp., the Company's status as
an S-corporation under the Code will automatically terminate and Federal and
state corporate income tax rates will apply. Based upon the cumulative temporary
differences, New England Access would have recognized a deferred Federal and
state income tax liability of $5,573 as of June 30, 1999, had the termination of
its election to be treated as an S-corporation occurred on that date.
7. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
All Cape Internet employees with 12 consecutive months of service are
eligible to participate in the Company's 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. An employee
may elect to defer 1% to 10% of his or her salary each period and up to 100% of
any bonuses received. The employer has the option to make a discretionary
matching contribution each year at a percentage determined by the employer prior
to year-end. Matching contributions were $41,850 and $4,376 for the 12 months
ended December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.
8. RELATED PARTIES
The Company's sole stockholder has made advances to the Company to provide
working capital financing. The advances have no formal repayment terms but have
been classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet because
it is managements intention to resolve the liability within the next 12 months.
Cape Internet shares common office space and certain employees with other
entities which are under common ownership. Certain costs, including payroll and
data processing fees, are allocated among the entities in accordance with the
economic benefit enured to each. During the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
six months ended June 30, 1999, Cape Internet allocated $97,911 and $99,703,
respectively, of

expenses to the other entities. Further, the Company made advances to these
other entities of $219,233 and $221,963, respectively, during the same periods.
In addition to allocated costs and advances, Cape Internet also pays an
advertising and marketing fee to Cape Cod Journal in the amount $25,000 per
month. This fee pays for banner links, New England Access Corp. sign-up links,
and exposure to the Cape Cod community. These costs are recorded as advertising
expense on the combined financial statements and were $255,800 and $158,000 for
the 12 months ended December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999,
respectively.
The amounts due to Cape Internet from these other entities as of December
31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 are as follows:

9. PENDING TRANSACTION
During 1999, the Company's sole stockholder entered into an agreement
whereby he will sell his shares in the Company to OneMain.com. The Company's
stockholder will exchange his shares in the Company for cash and shares of
common stock of OneMain.com. OneMain.com will become the sole stockholder of the
Company.
10. READINESS FOR THE YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Companys
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
00 as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.
The Company is aware of the implications associated with the Year 2000 as
it relates to software information systems and other outside implications on the
Company's operations, including the potential impact on its customers and major
vendors. The Year 2000 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's current information systems because current software is either already
Year 2000 compliant or required changes are currently underway. Management does
not anticipate significant delays or implementation issues related to updates
and conversions to Year 2000 compliant systems. The Company does not believe it
is exposed to a significant risk related to services provided, or expected to be
provided, to its customers related to the Year 2000 Issue. As a result, the
Company does not anticipate that incremental expenditures to ensure that its
information systems are Year 2000 compliant or contingencies related to services
provided will be material to the Company's liquidity, financial position or
results of operations over the next few years. Any costs that may arise will be
capitalized to the extent such costs represent replacements of current systems
or new systems and will be expensed as incurred to the extent that such costs
represent repairs, maintenance or upgrades to existing systems.
The Company has completed an assessment of its Year 2000 Issues and is in
the process of modifying or replacing portions of its business software and
equipment so that its computer systems are Year 2000 compliant prior to December
31, 1999.

PENNCOM INTERNET COMPANY, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
PennCom Internet Company, LLC (the Company), based in Warren, Pennsylvania,
is a regional provider of Internet access and related services to both
residential and commercial customers. Founded in 1995, PennCom's service area
covers most of Western Pennsylvania where they provide 56K dial-up access over a
100% digital network, as well as higher bandwidth business access, web hosting
and e-commerce solutions.
The Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to achieve or sustain
profitability or positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and in compliance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for an entire year.
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. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company's 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less at the time of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is
generally three years for computers and computer-related equipment and five
years for other noncomputer furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are
amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated
lives or the term of the lease agreement, ranging from three to five years.
F-275
<PAGE>
PENNCOM INTERNET COMPANY, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
The Company leases certain of its data communications and other equipment
under capital lease agreements. The assets and liabilities under capital leases
are recorded at the lesser of the present value of aggregate future minimum
lease payments, including estimated bargain purchase options, or the fair value
of the assets under lease. Assets under capital lease are amortized using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date, management determines whether any property or
equipment or any other assets have been impaired based on the criteria
established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ('SFAS 121'),
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company made no adjustments to the carrying values of the
assets during the year ended December 31, 1998 and the six-month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1999.
Intangible Assets--Customer Lists
The Company capitalizes specific costs incurred for the purchase of
customer bases from other Internet service providers ('ISPs'). The cost of
customer lists acquired is being amortized by the straight-line method over
three years.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid for in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue
on these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a
straight-line basis as the services are provided. Other revenues generally
represent equipment sales and one-time, nonrefundable set-up fees. Such revenues
are recorded as earned.
Costs of Revenues
Cost of access revenues primarily consists of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Cost of access revenues also includes
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone, as well as license fees for Web
browser software based on a per-user charge, other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
Advertising Costs
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
year ended December 31, 1998 and the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and
1999, the Company expensed $95,066, $40,753 and $79,082, respectively, as
advertising costs.
Income Taxes
The Company is organized as a limited liability company (LLC) under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Accordingly, the Company is taxed
under the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ('the Code').
Under the partnership provisions of the Code, the limited liability company
members include the Company's income on their individual tax returns. As a
result, the Company is not subject to federal and state corporate income tax. In
addition, no provision is made in the accounts for deferred or prepaid income
taxes where there are differences in the timing recognition of income and
expense for financial reporting and tax purposes. Timing differences primarily
relate to the recognition of deferred revenues and an allowance for doubtful
accounts for financial reporting purposes. Timing differences also
F-276
<PAGE>
PENNCOM INTERNET COMPANY, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
relate to depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, including
leases capitalized for financial reporting purposes, accrued vacation pay and
other items.
The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in Note 10 is
presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, Accounting for income Taxes, as if the Company had been a C Corporation
subject to federal and state corporate income taxes for all periods presented.
Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts
receivables. A high credit quality financial institution holds the cash. For
accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The
Company maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have been within
management's expectations. The large customer base mitigates the concentration
of credit risk. Other financial instruments consist of accounts payable and
notes payable. The carrying value of such amounts reported in the applicable
balance sheet dates approximates their fair value.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Although management believes alternative
telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption
of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
The Company maintains various vendors for required products, such as
modems, terminal servers, and high-performance routers, which are important
components of its network. Some of the Company's suppliers have limited
resources and production capacity. If the suppliers are unable to meet the
Company's needs as it is building out its network infrastructure, then delays
and increased costs in the expansion of the Company's network infrastructure
could result, having an adverse effect on operating results.
Commissions and Guaranteed Payments to Members
Commissions and guaranteed payments to members that are intended as
compensation for services rendered are accounted for as general and
administrative expenses of the LLC rather than as allocations of the LLC net
earnings. Commissions and guaranteed payments that are intended as payments of
interest on capital accounts are accounted for as part of the allocation of net
earnings rather than as expenses of the LLC. Since its inception, the Company
has accounted for all commission and guaranteed payments as general and
administrative expenses of the LLC. Commissions and guaranteed payments to
members, which have been included in general and administrative expenses,
totaled $854,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $427,000 and $252,000
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

9. OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company leases on a month-to-month basis certain office and equipment
storage space in Warren, Pennsylvania. Rent expense for the year ended December
31, 1998 was $8,290. Rent expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998
and 1999 was $3,400 and $9,625, respectively. The Company intends to continue
leasing on a month-to-month basis the space it presently occupies as of June 30,
1999 for at least the next five years.
In addition to the above, on August 26, 1999, the Company entered into an
additional lease commitment for certain office and equipment storage space in
DuBois, Pennsylvania. The term of this lease is for five years commencing on
November 1, 1999 and ending on October 31, 2004.
The anticipated future minimum lease payments under operating leases for
the next five years following June 30, 1999 are: 2000 $32,928; 2001 $37,103;
2002 $37,347; 2003 $37,596; 2004 $37,849.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Company is organized as a limited liability company (LLC). Accordingly,
the Company is taxed under the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code. As a result, the Company is not subject to federal and state corporate
income tax. In addition, no provision is made in the accounts for deferred or
prepaid income taxes where there are differences in the timing recognition of
income and expense for financial reporting and tax purposes. Timing differences
primarily relate to the recognition of deferred revenues and an allowance for
doubtful accounts for financial reporting purposes. Timing differences also
relate to depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, including
leases capitalized for financial reporting purposes, accrued vacation pay and
other items. Based upon the cumulative temporary differences, the Company would
have recognized a net deferred federal and state income tax asset of $428,239 as
of June 30, 1999, had the Company been a C Corporation. In addition, the
following pro forma income tax provision

11. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
On January 7, 1999, a complaint was filed with the Pennsylvania Public
Utility Commission (Commission) by PennCom Internet Company (the Company) naming
Bell Atlantic-Pennsylvania, Inc. (Bell Atlantic) as the respondent. The
complaint challenges telephone service charges imposed by Bell Atlantic for a
service called Centrex Extend at the Company's locations in Clarion,
Punxsutawney, Port Allegany, Coudersport and Kane, Pennsylvania in 1997 and
1998. The complaint contests billing by Bell Atlantic for Centrex Extend service
at these locations in the period October 1997 through March 1998 in the amount
of $938,231. The Company contends these billings are erroneous and without merit
and have not recognized them as an item of expense in their financial records.
The Company's complaint requests the Commission to direct Bell Atlantic to
remove from its records and accounts any arrearage or accounts receivable
related to unpaid billings for Centrex Extend service after October 15, 1997 at
the Company's Clarion, Punxsutawney, Port Allegany, Coudersport and Kane,
Pennsylvania locations. This matter is currently in the discovery stage and no
trial date has been scheduled. The Company and its legal counsel are not able to
predict the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome or the amount of
potential loss, in the event of an unfavorable outcome, with a degree of
certainty that is either 'probable' or 'remote'.
The Company has also filed writs of summons in the Common Pleas Courts of
McKean, Potter, Jefferson, and Clarion Counties, Pennsylvania naming
Bell-Atlantic as the defendant. These writs are related to the Centrex Extend
service identified in the Company's complaint filed at the Public Utility
Commission. The Company at these dockets has filed no complaints and the writs
of summons do not identify any monetary or other damages sought by the Company
from Bell Atlantic in those matters. No proceedings have taken place at those
dockets at the present time.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company makes payments for services to Infobahn International
Incorporated, a related party through common ownership. The payments are for
Internet network charges in some of the Company's remote service areas. The
payments for these services, which are included in the cost of access revenue,
totaled $9,770 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $3,287 and $10,313 for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
13. YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
'00' as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
F-281

13. YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or
engage in similar normal business activities.
The Company has completed an evaluation of the Year 2000 compliance of its
information technology, and management of the Company has determined that any
exposure that the Company may have relative to Year 2000 conversion costs is not
significant to the overall financial statement presentation.
14. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THE REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(UNAUDITED)
Effective September 30, 1999, the members sold their membership shares in
the Company to OneMain.com, Inc. OneMain.com, Inc., a public company, has
recently acquired a number of other entities that are also Internet access
providers. The Company's members sold their membership shares for cash and
shares of common stock of OneMain.com, Inc. Additionally, the Company's members
will be given consideration, contingent upon certain operational and earnings
margin requirements occurring during the period September 30, 1999 through March
31, 2000. The amount of the additional consideration will be payable in cash.
The Company will continue to exist with OneMain.com, Inc. as its sole member. As
a result, PennCom Internet Company, LLC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
OneMain.com, Inc. containing the fair value of the acquired net assets,
including goodwill and customer lists, of the Company.

Members
Rural Connections
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Rural Connections as of
December 31, 1998 and October 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations
and changes in partners' deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31,
1998 and the ten months ended October 31, 1999. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 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 Rural Connections at December
31, 1998 and October 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the ten months ended October 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

RURAL CONNECTIONS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Rural Connections (the Company) is a regional provider of Internet access
as well as design and hosting services for World Wide Web sites. The Company's
partnership interests are held equally by R C Pro, Inc. (transferred from
LiveWire, Inc. in December 1999) and Response, Inc. The Company is located in
Rochester, Minnesota and provides Internet-related services primarily in
Southern Minnesota.
The Company expects to continue focusing on increasing its subscriber base
and geographic coverage. The online services and Internet markets are highly
competitive. The Company believes that existing competitors, Internet-based
services, Internet service providers, Internet directory services, and
telecommunication companies are likely to enhance their service offerings
resulting in greater competition for the Company. The competitive conditions
could have the following effects: require additional pricing programs; increase
spending on marketing; limit the Company's ability to expand its subscriber
base; and result in increased attrition in the existing subscriber base. There
can be no assurance that growth in the Company's revenues or subscriber base
will continue or that the Company will be able to sustain profitability or
positive cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over an estimated useful lives of three to five years.
Furniture and equipment are fully depreciated and the costs and related
accumulated depreciation have been written off.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may
not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flows from the use of such
assets (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying
value, the Company's policy is to record a write-down that is determined based
on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair
value.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of costs incurred for the purchase of customer
bases from other Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Amortization is provided
using the straight-line method over three years commencing when the customer
base is received.
F-287

RURAL CONNECTIONS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The cash is held by a
high credit quality financial institution.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes Internet access revenue when the services are
provided. The Company offers contracts for Internet access that are generally
paid in advance by customers. The Company has deferred recognizing revenue on
these advance payments and amortizes the amounts to revenue on a straight-line
basis as the services are provided. The Company records a reserve for the
estimated amount of uncollectible accounts for customers who are provided credit
terms.
The Company provides Internet access services in exchange for promotional
and other services. Revenue and corresponding expenses in the amount of $41,000
and $97,000 were recorded during the year ended December 31, 1998 and the ten
months ended October 31, 1999, respectively. The Company values these
non-monetary transactions based upon the fair value of the Internet access
services provided.
Other revenues include network installation, maintenance and web design.
These services are provided on a time and materials basis and revenue is
recognized based upon time (at established rates) and other direct costs as
incurred.
COSTS OF REVENUES
Costs of access revenues primarily consist of telecommunication expenses
inherent in the network infrastructure. Costs of access revenues also include
fees paid for lease of the Company's backbone and other license fees paid to
third-party software vendors, product costs, and contractor fees for
distribution of software to new subscribers.
ADVERTISING COSTS
All advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. During the
year ended December 31, 1998 and the ten months ended October 31, 1999, the
Company expensed $151,000 and $226,000, respectively, as advertising and
promotion costs.
INCOME TAXES
The Company is taxed under the partnership provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code (the Code). Under the partnership provisions of the Code, the
partners include the Company's income on their personal income tax returns.
Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal and state corporate income
taxes.
The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in Note 8 is
presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Financial
Standards No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, as if the Company was subject to
federal and certain state income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
for the ten months ended October 31, 1999.
SOURCES OF SUPPLIES
The Company relies on local telephone companies and other companies to
provide data communications. Further, substantially all of the Company's digital
data transport is provided by a third party provider. Although management feels
alternative telecommunication facilities could be found in a timely manner, any
disruption of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.

8. INCOME TAXES (UNAUDITED)
Upon consummation of an agreement with OneMain.com, Inc. (OneMain.com) to
sell the outstanding partnership's interest of the Company (see Note 11),
OneMain.com will purchase all of the outstanding stock of the two corporate
partners. As a result, OneMain.com will acquire 100% of the Company's interests
and the partnerships status under the Code will continue. Based upon the
cumulative temporary differences, the Company would have recognized a deferred
tax asset of $58,000 and $102,000 at December 31, 1998 and October 31, 1999,
respectively, had OneMain.com acquired the partnership interests on those
respective dates.
No pro forma income tax provision (benefit) is reflected for the year ended
December 31, 1998 or the ten months ended October 31, 1999 as the Company would
have provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset had it
been a C Corporation.
In September 1999, the company was informed that its 1997 federal income
tax return was selected for examinations by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
In connection with the exam, the IRS is seeking to

disallow the deferral of revenue for tax purposes. In the event the IRS is
successful and the Company is required to recognize additional revenue, the
Company's partners will be liable for any resultant tax liability.
9. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Rural Connections Profit Sharing Plan distributes monies based on
predefined operating results of the Company. The Company contributed $35,000 and
$18,000 during the year ended December 31, 1998 and the ten months ended October
31, 1999, respectively.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company entered into various agreements with Response, Inc. totaling
$8,850 a month for accounting, human resources, computer, and other services for
a period of one year commencing on August 1, 1999.
11. PENDING TRANSACTION
During December 1999, the Company's two corporate members agreed to sell
their partnership interests in the Company to OneMain.com for cash and shares of
common stock of OneMain.com. In connection with the transaction, OneMain.com
will become the sole stockholder of the two corporate partners (R C Pro, Inc.
and Response, Inc.), thereby acquiring all of the partnership interests in the
Company.
The related party transactions described in Note 10 will be amended upon
consummation of the acquisition discussed above so that all continuing
obligations will be similar to terms and conditions of agreements/arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Registrant provide for
the indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers to the fullest
extent authorized by, and subject to the conditions set forth in the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the 'DGCL'), except that the
Registrant will indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding
(or part thereof) initiated by the person only if the proceeding (or part
thereof) was authorized by the Registrant's Board of Directors. The
indemnification provided under the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
includes the right to be paid by the Registrant the expenses (including
attorneys' fees) in advance of any proceeding for which indemnification may be
had in advance of its final disposition, provided that the payment of such
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may be made only upon delivery
to the Registrant of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer
to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it is ultimately determined that the
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. Pursuant to the Bylaws,
if a claim for indemnification is not paid by the Registrant within 60 days
after a written claim has been received by the Registrant, the claimant may at
any time thereafter bring an action against the Registrant to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant will be
entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the action.
As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
provides that directors of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, relating to unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As a result of
this provision, the Registrant and its stockholders may be unable to obtain
monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her duty of care.
Under the Bylaws, the Registrant has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant
as a director, officer, employee, partner (limited or general) or agent of
another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability
company, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the
person or incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the
person's status as such, and related expenses, whether or not the Registrant
would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the
provisions of the DGCL. The Registrant intends to purchase director and officer
liability insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit of proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) To file, during any period in which any offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the 'Calculation of
Registration Fee' table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any other material change to such information in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of
such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities which are being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein,
that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when
it became effective.
(5) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered
hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration
statement by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within
the meaning Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering
prospectus will contain the information called for by the other items of
the applicable registration form with respect to reoffering by persons who
may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by
the other items of the applicable form.
(6) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed
pursuant to paragraph (5) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in
connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be
filed as part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be
used until such amendment is effective, and
II-4
<PAGE>
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be initial bona
fide offering thereof.

EXHIBIT 10.24
SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as
of June 7, 1999, but is effective as of the Executive's Start Date (as defined
in Section 1 below), between ONEMAIN.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and MICHAEL D. READ ("Executive").
The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company agrees to employ Executive and
Executive accepts such employment for the period beginning as of that date which
is as soon as practicable following Executive's resignation from his current
employment ("Executive's Start Date") hereof and ending on the fourth
anniversary of Executive's Start or upon Executive's earlier separation pursuant
to Section 1(d) hereof (the "Employment Period"); provided, however, that the
Employment Period shall automatically be renewed for an additional two year
period commencing on the fourth anniversary of Executive's Start Date unless
either the Company or the Executive gives the other at least 60 days written
notice prior to the Expiration of the Employment Period of its desire to
terminate this Agreement.
(a) Position and Duties. During the Employment Period,
Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company and shall have the normal duties, responsibilities and authority of the
President and Chief Operating Officer, subject to the power of the Chairman, the
Chief Executive Officer or the Company's board of directors (the "Board") to
expand or limit such duties, responsibilities and authority and to override
actions of the President and Chief Operating Officer. Executive's office shall
be located at the Company's offices in Northern Virginia and Executive shall
report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Executive shall devote
his best efforts and of his full business time and attention to the business and
affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Executive
shall be permitted (and it shall not be a conflict for him) to serve on the
boards of directors of the two private companies on which he sits as of the
Executive's Start Date. After the first anniversary of Executive's Start Date
and so long thereafter as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall
be eligible to be considered for appointment to the Board.
(b) Salary, Bonus and Benefits. The Company will pay Executive
a base salary of $225,000 per annum, subject to any annual increase during the
Employment Period as determined by the Board based upon the Company's
achievements of budgetary and other objectives set by the Board (the "Annual
Base Salary"). In addition, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual
cash bonus based upon the Company's achievement of budgetary and other
objectives set by the Board; provided, however, that in respect of the first
year of the Employment Period, Executive shall receive an annual bonus of
$125,000, payable as follows:
<PAGE>
(i) $50,000 upon execution by the parties of this Agreement, (ii) $25,000 on or
before September 30, 1999; (iii) $25,000 on or before December 31, 1999; and
(iv) $25,000 on the first anniversary of Executive's Start Date; and, provided,
further, however, that during the initial three-year Employment Period,
Executive's aggregate Annual Base Salary plus annual bonus shall not be less
that $350,000 per year. Executive's Annual Base Salary for any partial year will
be prorated based upon the number of days elapsed in such year. Executive shall
be entitled to reimbursement of his reasonable and documented relocation/moving
expenses up to a total of $25,000. In addition, during the Employment Period,
Executive will be entitled to three (3) weeks of vacation plus two (2) personal
and five (5) sick days per year (all with pay), a car allowance of $700 per
month, plus such other benefits approved by the Board and made available to the
Company's senior executives, including tuition reimbursement, reimbursement of
business expenses and healthcare benefits.
(c) Issuance of Stock and Stock Options. Executive shall also
receive options for the purchase of 500,000 shares of the Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of the Company's employee stock option plan. Subject
to paragraph 1(d) below, the options will vest as follows: (i) 100,000 of the
shares will vest upon execution by the parties of this Agreement, (ii) 50,000
options vest on the first anniversary of Executive's Start Date; (iii) 50,000
options will vest on each of the next three anniversary dates of Executive's
Start Date for so long as Executive is employed by the Company; (iv) 50,000
options vest upon the Company's achievement of a certain ratio of cost of access
revenue to access revenue, as defined in the Company's published quarterly
financial statements, for two consecutive quarters, such ratio to be set by
mutual agreement of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive on or
before the 30th day following Executive's Start Date (which agreement shall be
subject to the ratification of the Board or committee thereof, if and as
required on advice of the Company's counsel); (v) 50,000 options vest upon the
Company's achievement of a certain second (and reduced as compared to the ratio
set under clause (iv) above) ratio of cost of access revenue to access revenue
(as defined above) for two consecutive quarters, such ratio to be set by mutual
agreement of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive on or before
the 30th day following Executive's Start Date (which agreement shall be subject
to the ratification of the Board or committee thereof, if and as required on
advice of the Company's counsel); and (vi) 100,000 options vest upon the Board's
adoption of a comprehensive Strategic Telecom Plan including a long-term
Broadband Solution and Existing Network Rationalization Plan; provided, however,
that the performance-based option is provided for under clauses (iv), (v) and
(vi) shall vest in any event upon the seventh anniversary of Executive's Start
Date, regardless of the foregoing vesting provisions. Executive shall have the
discretion to fix the date on which the Company grants the above-referenced
options (which will effectively allow Executive to chose the strike price on
such options) at any time during the first sixty (60) days following Executive's
Start Date; provided, however, that in order for Executive to take advantage of
the foregoing right he shall provide written notice to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer (with a copy
2
<PAGE>
to the Company's counsel) and the Board or committee thereof shall thereupon
authorize such grant if and as required on advice of the Company's counsel; and
provided, further, however, that if Executive fails to provide such notice
within such time frame, the Company shall grant such options on the 30th day
following Executive's Start Date. So long as Executive is an employee of the
Company, Executive shall be able to purchase shares of stock underlying any of
Executive's vested options at any time for a period of six (6) years from the
date of vesting at the specified price, subject, however, to any shorter period
as may be contained in the Company's employee stock option plan applicable to
such vested options. Executive will be eligible for grants of additional options
during the Employment Period approved by the Board based on Executive's and the
Company's performance. All shares and options issued to Executive shall be made
through stock purchase agreements or options agreements, as appropriate, based
on the Company's standard form for its executives.
(d) Separation. Executive's employment by the Company during
the Employment Period will continue until Executive's resignation at any time or
until Executive's disability or death or until the Board terminates Executive's
Employment at any time during the Employment Period. If the Employment Period is
terminated by the Executive without Good Reason, then the termination will be
effective sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of written notice of
termination. If the Employment Period is terminated by the Board without Cause
or by the Executive with Good Reason, then the termination will be effective
thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of written notice of termination. If
the Employment Period is terminated by the Board with Cause, termination will be
effective as of the date of notice of termination. If the Employment Period is
terminated by the Board with Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, then
the Executive shall be entitled to receive his Annual Base Salary, bonuses and
his fringe benefits only through the effective date of termination. If the
Employment Period is terminated by the Board without Cause or by the Executive
with Good Reason, then (i) the aggregate 300,000 options issued to the Executive
as of the date hereof under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (c) above
shall vest immediately and (ii) the Executive shall be entitled to receive his
Annual Base Salary and his life insurance, medical insurance and disability
insurance benefits, if any, (but no bonuses or other fringe benefits) for one
year from the effective date of termination (such payments, the "Severance
Payment") shall be payable over time in accordance with normal payroll
practices. If the Employment Period is terminated due to death, then the Annual
Base Salary and medical insurance will be continued through the next full
calendar month following the month in which the Executive died. If the
Employment Period is terminated due to Disability, then the Annual Base Salary,
medical insurance and disability insurance will be continued until the last day
of the six-month period following Disability; provided, however, that such
Annual Base Salary shall be reduced by the amount of any disability income
payments made to the Executive during such six-month period from any insurance
or other policies provided by the Company.

2. Confidential Information.
(a) Executive acknowledges that the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged in the internet service provider business and related
internet services (the "Business"). Executive further acknowledges that the
Business and its continued success depend upon the use and protection of a large
body of confidential and proprietary information, and that he holds a position
of trust and confidence by virtue of which he necessarily possesses, has access
to and, as a consequence of his signing this Agreement, will continue to possess
and have access to, highly valuable, confidential and proprietary information of
the Company and its Subsidiaries not known to the public in general, and that it
would be improper for him to make use of this information for the benefit of
himself and others. All of such confidential and proprietary information now
existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement
as "Confidential Information." This includes, without specific limitation,
information relating to the nature and operation of the Business or any other
business conducted by the Company's Subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Business"),
the persons, firms and corporations which are customers or active prospects of
the Company or the Subsidiary Business during Executive's employment by the
Company, the Company's and the Subsidiary Business' development transition and
transformation plans, methodology and methods of doing business, strategic,
acquisition, marketing and expansion plans, including plans regarding planned
and potential acquisitions and sales, financial and business plans, employee
lists, numbers and location of sales representatives, new and existing programs
and services (and those under development), prices and terms, customer service,
integration processes requirements, costs of providing service, support and
equipment and equipment maintenance costs. Confidential Information shall not
include any information that has become generally known to and available for use
by the public other than as a result of Executive's acts or omissions.
(b) Disclosure of any Confidential Information of the Company
shall not be prohibited if such disclosure is directly pursuant to a valid and
existing order of a court or other governmental body or agency within the United
States; provided, however, that (i) Executive shall first have given prompt
notice to the Company of any such possible or prospective order (or proceeding
pursuant to which any such order may result) and (ii) Executive shall afford the
Company a reasonable opportunity to prevent or limit any such disclosure.
(c) During the Employment Period and for a period of five (5)
years thereafter, Executive will preserve and protect as confidential all of the
Confidential Information known to Executive or at any time in Executive's
possession. In addition, during the Employment Period and at all times
thereafter, Executive will not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for
his own account any of such Confidential Information without the Board's written
consent.
4
<PAGE>
Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at a Separation, or at any other time
the Company may request in writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records,
reports and other documents (and copies thereof) containing or otherwise
relating to any of the Confidential Information (including, without limitation,
all acquisition prospects, lists and contact information) which he may then
possess or have under his control. Executive acknowledges that all such
memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents are and at all
times will be and remain the property of the Company.
(d) Executive will fully comply with any agreement reasonably
required by any of the Company's Subsidiaries, business partners, suppliers or
contractors with respect to the protection of the confidential and proprietary
information of such entities.
3. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. Executive acknowledges
that in the course of his employment with the Company he will become familiar
with the Confidential Information concerning the Company and such Subsidiaries
and that his services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the
Company. Executive agrees that the Company has a protectable interest in the
Confidential Information acquired by Executive during the course of his
employment with the Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that:
(a) Noncompetition. So long as Executive is employed or
affiliated with the Company or any Subsidiary and for an additional one year (1)
thereafter (the "Noncompete Period"), he shall not, anywhere within 100 miles of
any of the Company's and its subsidiaries' offices in the United States,
directly or indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult with,
render services for, or in any manner engage in the provision of dial-up and
dedicated Internet access for consumers.
(b) Nonsolicitation. During the Noncompete Period and for an
additional one (1) year thereafter, other than individuals employed in
administrative capacities by the Company whose job skills can be found in other
individuals and who if they left the employment of the Company would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company, the Executive shall not directly or
indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to leave the employ of the Company or
such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any
person who was an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries within 180
days prior to the time such employee was hired by the Executive, (iii) induce or
attempt to induce any owner of a site location, customer, supplier, licensee or
other business relation of the Company or any of its
5
<PAGE>
Subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary or in
any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier,
licensee or business relation and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv)
directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business
relating to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and with
which, to Executive's knowledge, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has
entertained discussions or has requested and received information relating to
the acquisition of such business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in
the one-year period immediately preceding a Separation.
(c) Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 2
or 3 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that
the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that
the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover
the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive's
services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential
Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate
remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company or
any of its successors or assigns shall, in addition to other rights and remedies
existing in its favor, be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or
other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions
of Section 2 or Section 3 from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that
the provisions of this Section are in consideration of: (i) employment with the
Company and (ii) additional good and valuable consideration as set forth in this
Agreement. Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions
contained in Sections 2 and 3 do not preclude Executive from earning a
livelihood, nor does it unreasonably impose limitations on Executive's ability
to earn a living. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the
potential harm to the Company of its non-enforcement outweighs any harm to the
Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges
that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to
the restraints imposed upon the Executive by this Agreement, and is in full
accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of the
Confidential Information. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each
and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to
subject matter, time period and geographical area.
4. Representations and Warranties of Executive. Executive
represents and warrants that he has full right and authority to enter into this
Agreement and fully perform his obligations hereunder, that he is not subject to
any non-competition agreement that would prevent or restrict him in any way from
rendering the services hereunder anywhere in the world, and that his past,
present and anticipated future activities have not and will not infringe on the
proprietary rights of others. Executive further represents and warrants that he
is not obligated
6
<PAGE>
under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature)
or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
administrative agency which would conflict with his obligation to use his best
efforts to promote the interests of the Company or which would conflict with the
Company's business as conducted or proposed to be conducted. Neither the
execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's
business as an officer, director or employee by Executive, will conflict with or
result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of or constitute a
default under any contract, covenant or instrument under which Executive is now
obligated.

shall be eligible to receive up to a $50,000 bonus as determined by the
President or the Board based upon the achievement of budgetary and other
objectives set by the President and the Board. Executive's Annual Base Salary
for any partial year will be prorated based upon the number of days elapsed in
such year. In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled
to such other benefits approved by the President and the Board and made
available to the Company's senior executives, including three (3) weeks vacation
time, five (5) sick days, tuition reimbursement, reimbursement of business
expenses and healthcare benefits. Executive shall also be entitled to (i) a car
allowance comparable to other senior
1
<PAGE>
executive's of the Company who receive a car allowance, (ii) reimbursement for
relocation expenses not to exceed $10,000, (iii) reimbursement for up to three
months of personal residential rent in the Washington, DC metropolitan area not
to exceed an aggregate of $13,000, and (iv) reimbursement for closing costs not
to exceed $15,000 directly related to the purchase of a home in the Washington,
DC metropolitan area.
(c) Issuance of Stock Options. Executive shall receive options
for the purchase of 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The options
will vest as follows: the first 50,000 will vest immediately upon Executive's
first day of employment with the Company. The remaining options will vest as
follows: the first 1/4 of the remaining options (or 25,000 options) will vest on
the first anniversary of this Agreement; the remaining 3/4 of the options (or
75,000 options) shall vest at the rate of 1/36 per month thereafter (or 2,083.33
options per month). All options shall be fully vested no later than the earlier
of the fourth anniversary of the date of hire. The grant date for the options
will be within the first two weeks of the Employment Period on such date as
determined by Executive in writing to the Company. Executive will be eligible
for grants of additional options during the Employment Period approved by the
Board based on Executive's and the Company's performance. All shares and options
issued to Executive shall be made through stock purchase agreements or options
agreements, as appropriate, based on the Company's standard form for its
executives.
(d) Separation. Executive's employment by the Company during
the Employment Period will continue until Executive's resignation at any time or
until Executive's disability or death or until the Board terminates Executive's
Employment at any time during the Employment Period. If the Employment Period is
terminated by the Executive without Good Reason, then the termination will be
effective thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of written notice of
termination. If the Employment Period is terminated by the Board without Cause
or by the Executive with Good Reason, then the termination will be effective
fifteen (15) days after the date of delivery of written notice of termination.
If the Employment Period is terminated by the Board with Cause, termination will
be effective as of the date of notice of termination. If the Employment Period
is terminated by the Board with Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason,
then the Executive shall be entitled to receive her Annual Base Salary, bonuses
and her fringe benefits only through the effective date of termination. If the
Employment Period is terminated by the Board without Cause or by the Executive
with Good Reason, then (i) all options issued to the Executive as of the date
hereof shall vest immediately, and (ii) the Executive shall be entitled to
receive her Annual Base Salary and her life insurance, medical insurance and
disability insurance benefits, if any, (but no bonuses or other fringe benefits)
for twelve months from the effective date of termination (such payments, the
"Severance Payment") shall be payable
2
<PAGE>
over time in accordance with normal payroll practices. If the Employment Period
is terminated due to death, then the Annual Base Salary and medical insurance
will be continued until the last day of the six-month period following the month
in which the Executive died. If the Employment Period is terminated due to
Disability, then the Annual Base Salary, medical insurance and disability
insurance will be continued until the last day of the six-month period following
Disability; provided, however, that such Annual Base Salary shall be reduced by
the amount of any disability income payments made to the Executive during such
six-month period from any insurance or other policies provided by the Company.
2. Confidential Information.
(a) Executive acknowledges that the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged in the Internet service provider business and related
Internet services (the "Business"). Executive further acknowledges that the
Business and its continued success depend upon the use and protection of a large
body of confidential and proprietary information, and that she holds a position
of trust and confidence by virtue of which she necessarily possesses, has access
to and, as a consequence of her signing this Agreement, will continue to possess
and have access to, highly valuable, confidential and proprietary information of
the Company and its Subsidiaries not known to the public in general, and that it
would be improper for her to make use of this information for the benefit of
herself and others. All of such confidential and proprietary information now
existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement
as "Confidential Information." This includes, without specific limitation,
information relating to the nature and operation of the Business or any other
business conducted by the Company's Subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Business"),
the persons, firms and corporations which are customers or active prospects of
the Company or the Subsidiary Business during Executive's employment by the
Company, the Company's and the Subsidiary Business' development transition and
transformation plans, methodology and methods of doing business, strategic,
acquisition, marketing and expansion plans, including plans regarding planned
and potential acquisitions and sales, financial and business plans, employee
lists, numbers and location of sales representatives, new and existing programs
and services (and those under development), prices and terms, customer service,
integration processes requirements, costs of providing service, support and
equipment and equipment maintenance costs. Confidential Information shall not
include any information that has become generally known to and available for use
by the public other than as a result of Executive's acts or omissions.
(b) Disclosure of any Confidential Information of the Company
shall not be prohibited if such disclosure is directly pursuant to a valid and
existing order of a court or other governmental body or agency within the United
States; provided,
3
<PAGE>
however, that (i) Executive shall first have given prompt notice to the Company
of any such possible or prospective order (or proceeding pursuant to which any
such order may result) and (ii) Executive shall afford the Company a reasonable
opportunity to prevent or limit any such disclosure.
(c) During the Employment Period and for a period of five (5)
years thereafter, Executive will preserve and protect as confidential all of the
Confidential Information known to Executive or at any time in Executive's
possession. In addition, during the Employment Period and at all times
thereafter, Executive will not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for
her own account any of such Confidential Information without the Board's written
consent. Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at a Separation, or at any
other time the Company may request in writing, all memoranda, notes, plans,
records, reports and other documents (and copies thereof) containing or
otherwise relating to any of the Confidential Information (including, without
limitation, all acquisition prospects, lists and contact information) which she
may then possess or have under her control. Executive acknowledges that all such
memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents are and at all
times will be and remain the property of the Company.
(d) Executive will fully comply with any agreement reasonably
required by any of the Company's Subsidiaries, business partners, suppliers or
contractors with respect to the protection of the confidential and proprietary
information of such entities.
3. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. Executive acknowledges
that in the course of her employment with the Company she will become familiar
with the Confidential Information concerning the Company and such Subsidiaries
and that her services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the
Company. Executive agrees that the Company has a protectable interest in the
Confidential Information acquired by Executive during the course of her
employment with the Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that:
(a) Noncompetition. So long as Executive is employed or
affiliated with the Company or any Subsidiary and for an additional (i) two
years thereafter (the "Noncompete Period"), she shall not, anywhere within 100
miles of any of the Company's and its subsidiaries' offices in the United
States, directly or indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult
with, render services for, or in any manner engage in the Business.
(b) Nonsolicitation. During the Noncompete Period, Executive
shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to
induce any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to leave the
employ of the
4
<PAGE>
Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship
between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any employee thereof, (ii)
hire any person who was an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
within 180 days prior to the time such employee was hired by the Executive,
(iii) induce or attempt to induce any owner of a site location, customer,
supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary or in
any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier,
licensee or business relation and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv)
directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business
relating to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and with
which, to Executive's knowledge, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has
entertained discussions or has requested and received information relating to
the acquisition of such business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in
the one-year period immediately preceding a Separation.
(c) Enforcement. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 2
or 3 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that
the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that
the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover
the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive's
services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential
Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate
remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of Section 2 or 3 of this Agreement, the Company or any of its
successors or assigns shall, in addition to other rights and remedies existing
in its favor, be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other
relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of
Section 2 or 3 from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) Additional Acknowledgments. Executive acknowledges that
the provisions of this Section are in consideration of: (i) employment with the
Company and (ii) additional good and valuable consideration as set forth in this
Agreement. Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions
contained in Sections 2 and 3 do not preclude Executive from earning a
livelihood, nor does it unreasonably impose limitations on Executive's ability
to earn a living. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that the
potential harm to the Company of its non-enforcement outweighs any harm to the
Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges
that she has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration
to the restraints imposed upon the Executive by this Agreement, and is in full
accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of the
Confidential Information. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each
and every restraint imposed by this
5
<PAGE>
Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and
geographical area.

"Disability" means a physical or mental condition, which, for
a continuous period of at least six (6) months has or will prevent the Executive

illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
(b) Complete Agreement. This Agreement, those documents
