MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and
financial condition in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements
and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ
significantly from those projected in such forward-looking statements due to a
number of factors.
OVERVIEW
We have developed an advanced, integrated service offering that provides
our clients the ability to use leading business software applications through
our state-of-the-art Internet-based network. During 1998, we devoted
substantially all of our efforts to developing our network infrastructure,
recruiting and training personnel, establishing strategic business partnerships
with application software providers, completing two strategic acquisitions and
raising capital. During our first full year of operations in 1999, we continued
the development activities started in 1998 and began to market and sell our new
iMAP product offerings. We have incurred a cumulative net loss since inception
and expect to incur additional losses for at least the next twelve months, due
primarily to additional costs related to implementation of our services and the
continued expansion and enhancement of our network. As of September 30, 2000, we
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $265.1 million. As of September 30,
2000, we had 224 signed contracts with 165 clients accounting for total revenue,
assuming payment over the full contract terms, of over $311.7 million. While we
have experienced significant growth in revenue under contract in recent periods
and currently expect continued, although potentially lower, growth in revenue
under contract throughout 2000, prior growth rates should not be considered as
necessarily indicative of future growth rates or operating results for 2000.
In September 2000, we purchased the assets of EnableVision, LLC a
comprehensive provider of Lawson financial and human resources system
implementation services. The purchase price consisted of cash of $2.0 million
and 290,642 shares of restricted stock valued at $4.0 million on the purchase
date.
In October 1999, we purchased the assets of Conklin & Conklin, Inc. a
comprehensive provider of Lawson financial and human resources system
implementation services and a certified reseller of Lawson software licenses.
The purchase price consisted of cash of $7.7 million, assumed liabilities of
$1.5 million, and a $2.0 million secured note. The secured note is due on
October 8, 2001, and bears interest at 10%, with interest payable monthly until
the maturity date. In addition, the purchase price consists of contingent
payments of up to $4.6 million in cash. Portions of the contingent payments can
be earned by Conklin shareholders through January 2002 upon the attainment of
specified financial milestones.
We completed our initial public offering of common stock in April 1999 and
raised net proceeds of $132.8 million. In November 1999 we completed a private
offering of convertible subordinated notes and raised net proceeds of $119.9
million. In February 2000, we completed a public offering of our common stock
for net proceeds of approximately $119.2 million.
Revenue. We generate revenue from iMAP services and information technology
services. Revenues from professional IT services are recognized as services are
provided. iMAP revenues consist of implementation fees and monthly recurring
fees for services. Implementation fees are generally paid in advance and are
deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the iMAP service contract.
Monthly iMAP service fees are consideration for access to our network of
Enterprise Data Centers or EDCs, hosting application software, and the
implementation and management of that software. iMAP contracts generally have a
three-to-five year term and revenues are recognized ratably over the contract
term. Payments received in advance of revenue recognition, even if
non-refundable, are recorded as deferred revenue. Some contracts permit
termination without cause by the clients. Contracts permitting termination
without cause generally provide for termination payments to us that will be
recognized as revenue when collectibility is assured.
Costs and expenses. We incur operating costs and expenses related to the
delivery of iMAP and professional IT services. They include direct costs of
service, network and infrastructure, general and
S-2
<PAGE> 3
administrative, sales and marketing, product research and development, stock
compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses.
We incur up-front costs related to the delivery of iMAP services. Product
research and development costs and the cost to operate our network and data
centers are recognized as period costs. Costs related to the acquisition of
hardware are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the
hardware of five years. Costs related to the acquisition of software licenses
are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of either three years or the term
of the individual client contract, depending on the nature of the software
license agreement. Amortization is based on a straight-line basis over the
remaining useful life. Direct costs related to the integration of software
applications for a client on our network are capitalized and amortized over the
related contract period.

Comparison of the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 to the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999
Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, we generated $28.3
million of revenue as compared to $9.8 million for the same prior year period.
The increase of $18.1 million in iMAP revenue is attributable to the
increase in client iMAP contracts. At September 30, 2000, we had 224 iMAP
contracts versus 81 in the same period in 1999. Professional IT
S-3
<PAGE> 4
services revenue increased $0.4 million, mainly due to the increased revenue
from Conklin & Conklin, Inc., acquired in October 1999.
The increase of $5.6 million in Enterprise Wide Solutions revenue is mainly
attributable to additional client iMAP contracts for our financial management,
human resource and customer relationship management products. The increase of
$12.9 million in Web Based Solutions is mainly attributable to additional client
iMAP contracts for our E-Business and E-Commerce products.
During the three months ended September 30, 2000 we did not recognize $1.7
million of revenue related to several early stage e-commerce clients that are
delinquent in making payments under iMAP contracts and are facing financial
difficulties. Early stage venture funded companies represent 13% of our $101.3
million backlog at September 30, 2000.
Gross margins, direct costs of services, network and infrastructure
costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred $25.3 million
for direct costs of services and network and infrastructure costs as compared to
$10.4 million for the same prior year period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred $16.0 million
and $2.3 million of direct costs related to the delivery of our iMAP and
professional IT services, respectively. Our iMAP direct costs include an
impairment charge of $0.9 million resulting from the write-off of deferred iMAP
costs relating to early stage e-commerce clients. Revenues from these clients
were not accrued in the quarter due to non-payment and liquidity concerns. For
the same period in 1999, we incurred $3.7 million of direct costs related to
iMAP services and $2.1 million of direct costs related to professional IT
services. The increase in iMAP services costs is directly attributable to our
increase in iMAP client contracts and the impairment charge.
In addition, we incurred $7.0 million of costs related to the maintenance
of our network and infrastructure for the three months ended September 30, 2000
and $4.6 million in related costs during the same period in 1999. The increase
of $2.4 million is attributable to costs required to support our increase in
iMAP client contracts.
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred $7.4 million and
$10.9 million of direct costs related to the delivery of our Enterprise Wide
Solutions and E-Commerce and Web Based Solutions, respectively. For the same
period in 1999, we incurred $2.2 million of direct costs related to Enterprise
Wide Solutions and $3.6 million of direct costs related to E-Commerce and Web
Based Solutions. Both increases are directly attributable to our increase in
iMAP client contracts.
Gross margins, including iMAP network and infrastructure costs, for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 were 7.3% and 34.3% for iMAP and
professional IT services, respectively. These margins for the comparable 1999
period were (23.9)% and 32.3%, respectively. Our margins for iMAP services are
expected to continue to improve because our business model contemplates a much
smaller increase in network and infrastructure costs as revenues increase.
Segment operating profit margins, which exclude iMAP networking and
infrastructure costs, for Enterprise Wide Solutions were 32.0% and 58.5% for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in
operating profit margin from the prior period is due to a high-margin contract
becoming a smaller percentage of revenue and margins for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Segment operating
profit margin on E-Commerce and Web Based Solutions improved to 37.4% for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 20.0% for the same period
in 1999. This improvement reflects the utilization of the investment made in
1999 to support the increase in iMAP contracts. Our margins for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000 for these operating segments are more indicative
of expected performance than in the same prior year period.
General and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September
30, 2000, we incurred $6.8 million of general and administrative expenses
compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 1999. The increase of $1.8
million principally reflects the costs associated with increased administrative
personnel to support the growth in operations.
S-4
<PAGE> 5
Sales and marketing expenses. For the three months ended September 30,
2000, we incurred $17.7 million of sales and marketing expenses compared to
$11.0 million for the same period in 1999. The increase of $6.7 million reflects
the costs associated with our increased efforts to market and brand our service
offerings, and the sales commissions related to the increase in iMAP revenue.
Product research and development expenses. For the three months ended
September 30, 2000, we incurred $0.9 million of product research and development
expenses compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 1999. The decrease of
$0.3 million is due to the fact that we incurred additional product development
costs related to our Lawson and Microsoft Exchange product offerings during the
third quarter of 1999.
Non-cash stock compensation expense. For the three months ended September
30, 2000, we incurred $6.0 million in non-cash compensation expenses compared to
$3.4 million for the same period in 1999. The $2.6 million increase reflects the
period's expense in connection with employee stock options with an exercise
price of $0.001 in lieu of cash bonuses. We expect to incur $22 million in
non-cash stock compensation expense through 2002 related to 1999 stock option
grants issued at below fair market value and 2000 stock option grants issued in
lieu of cash bonuses. We also expect to incur up to $14 million in non-cash
stock compensation expense over the next three to four years as a result of a
stock option swap program implemented in November 2000. This program allowed
employees to exchange stock options granted since January 2000 at a rate of two
options for one share of restricted stock.
Depreciation and amortization. For the three months ended September 30,
2000, we incurred $15.4 million in depreciation and amortization expenses,
compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 1999. Of the $9.5 million
increase, $8.9 million represents depreciation of our increasing investment in
property and equipment and the amortization of our prepaid software licenses.
The remaining amount of $0.6 million represents the amortization of the goodwill
recorded upon our acquisitions of Conklin, ACR, IIT, and EnableVision.
Interest income and expense. For the three months ended September 30,
2000, we incurred $6.1 million in interest expense and generated $2.4 million of
interest income. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, we generated
$0.7 million of interest income and incurred $1.3 million of interest expense.
Our interest expense has increased as we continue to finance through long-term
debt and capital lease obligations investments in our network and
infrastructure. See Notes 6 and 8 to our September 30, 2000 consolidated
financial statements for a summary of our long-term debt at September 30, 2000.
We generated interest income in the third quarter of 2000 from the
temporary investment of the proceeds of our February 2000 common stock offering
and November 1999 convertible subordinated notes offering. During the same prior
year period we generated interest income from the temporary investment of the
proceeds of our initial public offering.
Comparison of the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 to the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999
Revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we generated $72.3
million of revenue as compared to $20.9 million for the same prior year period.
The increase of $49.1 million in iMAP revenue is attributable to the
increase in client iMAP contracts. At September 30, 2000, we had 224 iMAP
contracts versus 81 in the same period in 1999. Professional IT services revenue
increased $2.3 million, mainly due to the increased revenue from Conklin &
Conklin, Inc., acquired in October 1999.
The increase of $18.0 million in Enterprise Wide Solutions revenue is
mainly attributable to additional client iMAP contracts for our financial
management, human resource and customer relationship management products. The
increase of $33.4 million in Web Based Solutions is mainly attributable to
additional client iMAP contracts for our E-Business and E-Commerce products.

Gross margins, direct costs of services, network and infrastructure
costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred $66.1 million
for direct costs of services and network and infrastructure costs as compared to
$25.3 million for the same prior year period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred $39.0 million and
$7.7 million of direct costs related to the delivery of our iMAP and
professional IT services, respectively. For the same period in 1999, we incurred
$7.6 million of direct costs related to iMAP services and $6.3 million of direct
costs related to professional IT services. The increase in iMAP services costs
can be directly attributable to our increase in iMAP client contracts.
In addition, we incurred $19.4 million of costs related to the maintenance
of our network and infrastructure costs for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and $11.4 million in related costs during the same period in 1999. The
increase of $8.0 million is attributable to costs required to support our
increase in iMAP client contracts.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred $19.9 million and
$26.8 million of direct costs related to the delivery of our Enterprise Wide
Solutions and E-Commerce and Web Based Solutions, respectively. For the same
period in 1999, we incurred $5.2 million related to Enterprise Wide Solutions
and $8.7 million of direct costs related to E-Commerce and Web Based Solutions.
Both increases are directly attributable to our increase in iMAP client
contracts.
Gross margins, including iMAP network and infrastructure costs, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 were 35.4% and 32.7% for iMAP and
professional IT services, respectively. These margins for the comparable 1999
period were (68.1)% and 34.4%, respectively. Our margins for iMAP services are
expected to continue to improve because our business model contemplates a much
smaller increase in network and infrastructure costs as revenues increase.
Segment operating profit margins, which exclude iMAP networking and
infrastructure costs, for Enterprise Wide Solutions were 31.0% and 51.9% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in
operating profit margin from the prior period is due to a high-margin contract
becoming a smaller percentage of revenue and margins for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Segment operating
profit margins for E-Commerce and Web Based Solutions improved to 38.4% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 13.9% for the same period in
1999. This improvement reflects the utilization of the investment made in 1999
to support the increase in iMAP contracts. Our margins for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000 for these operating segments are more indicative of
expected performance than in the same prior year period.
General and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September
30, 2000, we incurred $19.9 million of general and administrative expenses
compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 1999. The increase of $4.1
million principally reflects the costs associated with increased administrative
personnel to support the growth in operations.
Sales and marketing expenses. For the nine months ended September 30,
2000, we incurred $52.7 million of sales and marketing expenses compared to
$24.6 million for the same period in 1999. The increase of $28.1 million
reflects the costs associated with our increased efforts to market and brand our
service offerings, and the sales commissions related to the increase in iMAP
revenue.
Product research and development expenses. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, we incurred $2.3 million of product research and development
expenses compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 1999. The increase of
$0.3 million is due to the fact that we continue to develop our iMAP offerings.
Non-cash stock compensation expense. For the nine months ended September
30, 2000, we incurred $15.9 million in non-cash compensation expenses compared
to $6.8 million for the same period in 1999. Of the $9.1 million increase, $5.7
million reflects the period's expense in connection with employee stock options
with an exercise price of $0.001 in lieu of cash bonuses. The remaining amount
of $3.4 million reflects the Company's contribution of common stock to an
employee benefit plan and the amortization of unearned compensation. We expect
to incur $22 million in non-cash stock compensation expense through 2002 related
S-6
<PAGE> 7
to 1999 stock option grants issued at below fair market value and 2000 stock
option grants issued in lieu of cash bonuses. We also expect to incur up to $14
million in non-cash stock compensation expense over the next three to four years
as a result of a stock option swap program implemented in November 2000. This
program allowed employees to exchange stock options granted since January 2000
at a rate of two options for one share of restricted stock.
Depreciation and amortization. For the nine months ended September 30,
2000, we incurred $36.4 million in depreciation and amortization expenses,
compared to $14.8 million for the same period in 1999. Of the $21.6 million
increase, $20.0 million represents depreciation of our increasing investment in
property and equipment and the amortization of our prepaid software licenses.
The remaining amount of $1.6 million represents the amortization of the goodwill
recorded upon our acquisitions of Conklin, ACR, IIT and EnableVision.
Interest income and expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
we incurred $15.3 million in interest expense and generated $6.9 million of
interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, we incurred $2.8
million of interest expense and generated $2.1 million of interest income. Our
interest expense has increased as we continue to finance through long-term debt
and capital lease obligations investments in our network and infrastructure. See
Notes 6 and 8 to our September 30, 2000 consolidated financial statements for a
summary of our long-term debt at September 30, 2000.
We generated interest income in the first three quarters of 2000 from the
temporary investment of the proceeds of our February 2000 common stock offering
and November 1999 debt offering. During the same prior year period we generated
interest income from the temporary investment of the proceeds of our initial
public offering.
FUTURE ASSESSMENT OF RECOVERABILITY AND IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
In connection with our acquisition of IIT, ACR, Conklin, and EnableVision
LLC we recorded goodwill that is being amortized on a straight line basis over
its estimated useful life. At September 30, 2000, the unamortized portion of
these intangibles was $30.0 million, which represented 7.0% of total assets and
25.8% of stockholders' equity. Goodwill represents the amount that we paid for
these acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of the acquired tangible
and separately measurable intangible net assets. We have estimated the useful
life of our goodwill to be five years based upon several factors, the most
significant of which is the susceptibility of acquired businesses to change as a
result of technological advances and the rapidly changing needs of their
customers.
We periodically review the carrying value and recoverability of our
unamortized goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. If the facts
and circumstances suggest that the goodwill or other intangible assets may be
impaired, the carrying value of this goodwill will be adjusted by an immediate
charge against income during the period of the adjustment. The length of the
remaining amortization period may also be shortened, which will result in an
increase in the amount of goodwill amortization during the period of adjustment
and each period thereafter until fully amortized. Once adjusted, there can be no
assurance that there will not be further adjustments for impairment and
recoverability in future periods. We have integrated the acquired businesses
into our primary iMAP service offerings. Therefore, in evaluating impairment a
principal factor we consider is the failure to achieve expected cash flows from
operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of $81.1 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we used $93.3 million of cash in
operating activities, $63.0 million in investing activities and generated $125.1
million through financing activities. Included in financing activities was
$119.2 million raised from a public common stock offering in February 2000. We
invested these proceeds primarily in cash and short-term cash equivalents.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we purchased $17.5 million of
marketable securities and sold $48.9 million of marketable securities. We used
the proceeds of the sale of the marketable securities to fund our operations.
S-7
<PAGE> 8
For the first three quarters of 2000, we purchased $92.4 million of
property and equipment, which consisted primarily of computer hardware and
software necessary to support the increase in our iMAP clients and expenditures
for equipment used by our administrative personnel. These expenditures in the
comparable 1999 period were $58.9 million. We have no material commitments for
the acquisition of property and equipment at September 30, 2000, but estimate
that our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2000 will be approximately
$35 million.
We have used debt and capital leases to partially finance our capital
investments for the development of our infrastructure and the hardware required
to support the increase in our iMAP clients. As of November 14, 2000, we have
the following financing commitments available:
-$50 million of lease financing for HP products, of which $10 million has been
funded and $20 million is currently available. The remaining $20 million
commitment will be made available in $10 million increments after the
conclusion of the next two quarters ending December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001
contingent upon the Company achieving certain operating metrics. All
commitments expire June 30, 2001.
-$20 million in long-term fixed asset financing from Compaq, of which $4.7
million has been funded and $15.3 million remains available. This commitment
expires June 30, 2001.
-$20 million in long-term fixed asset financing from Sun, of which $1.5 million
has been funded and $8.5 million is currently available through December 31,
2000. The remaining $10 million will become available from January 1, 2001
through June 30, 2001, at which time the commitment expires.
All of the long-term fixed asset financing is collateralized by the
incremental infrastructure assets deployed to fulfill customer requirements.
On November 13, 2000 we received a new commitment from GE capital with
respect to a $50 million revolving line of credit. This commitment reestablishes
the previously announced commitment from GE Capital, which expired on September
30, 2000. We anticipate closing on this commitment no later than December 31,
2000 upon completion of the negotiations of the inter-creditor agreements and
other third party documentation.
In addition to the above debt financing commitments, as of November 14,
2000 we have obtained equity commitments totaling $270 million, including $130
million of current equity and a $140 million standby equity line. The current
equity investment is composed of the following:
-$50 million investment in our common stock from Microsoft Corp.,
-$10 million investment in our common stock from Aether Systems,
-$55 million investment in our common stock by our early investors including our
Chairman of the Board, Christopher R. McCleary, and our Chief Executive
Officer, Andrew A. Stern,
-$5 million investment in our common stock from a wholly owned subsidiary of GE
Capital, and
-$10 million investment in our common stock from Acqua Wellington.
We expect to close on the Acqua Wellington commitment and 25% of the other
financings no later than November 21, 2000. The closing of the remaining 75% is
subject to the receipt of regulatory approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
antitrust review process.
On October 13, 2000 we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on
Form S-3, registering to sell up to $150 million of common stock. We plan to use
the proceeds from any securities sold under this registration statement for
working capital, capital purchases, and to fund expenses and operating losses.
We have entered into an agreement with Acqua Wellington North American Equities
Fund Ltd. for the sale of up to $140 million of this common stock. The sale of
up to $140 million of common stock is available to be drawn over the next 28
months. The Company may sell these shares at its sole discretion, depending on
its needs. The shares will be sold at a slight discount based on the market
price of our common stock at the time of the draw. As noted above, we have
agreed to sell $10 million of common stock to Acqua Wellington pursuant to a
purchase agreement entered into in connection with the financing arrangement,
which we expect to close on November 15, 2000.
We believe that these resources and our existing cash and short-term
investments will be sufficient to fund our operations, including planned levels
of capital expenditure, for the foreseeable future assuming the
S-8

successful implementation of our current business model. The majority of the
base infrastructure required to provide our iMAP services has been purchased. As
a result, we expect that our capital expenditures for the next several years
will now largely be success-based, consisting of software licenses, hardware and
the expansion of existing data center facilities required to implement iMAP
solutions for our new customers. These new customer contracts are expected to
have an average term of three to five years; however, we anticipate that many of
our customers will renew their contracts due to the cost and complexity of
switching service providers.
If we expand more rapidly than currently anticipated, if our working
capital needs exceed our current expectations, if these financings do not close
as anticipated, or if we make acquisitions, we will need to raise additional
capital from equity or debt sources. We cannot be sure that we will be able to
obtain the additional financing to satisfy our cash requirements or to implement
our growth strategy on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot obtain such
financing on terms acceptable to us, we may be forced to curtail our planned
business expansion and may be unable to fund our ongoing operations. We are
presently pursuing a variety of sources of other debt and capital financing, but
no additional commitments have been obtained to date.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Year 2000 Issue. The Year 2000 issue is a result of computer programs or
systems, which store or process date-related information using only two digits
to represent the year. These programs or systems may not be able to properly
distinguish between a year in the 1900's and a year in the 2000's. Failure of
these programs or systems to distinguish between the two centuries could cause
the programs or systems to yield erroneous results or even to fail.
Effect on USi. To date, we have not experienced any material difficulties
associated with the Year 2000 and we have not incurred any material liability or
costs due to the Year 2000 issue. Our total expenses related to Year 2000
compliance through September 30, 2000 were $1.0 million. We do not anticipate
that we will incur any material additional costs due to Year 2000 compliance.
