INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Flycast Communications Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flycast
Communications Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31,
1997 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, common
stockholders' equity (deficit) 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. The consolidated
financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of InterStep, Inc.
with and into Flycast Communications Corporation on August 30, 1999, which has
been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests as described in Note 9 to the
consolidated financial statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Flycast Communications Corporation
and subsidiary at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       FLYCAST COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Organization - Flycast Communications Corporation ("Flycast") commenced
      operations on April 14, 1996 (inception). Flycast is a leading provider of
      Web-based advertising solutions designed to maximize the return on
      investment for direct response advertisers and e-commerce companies.
      Flycast is headquartered in San Francisco.

      Basis of Presentation - On August 30, 1999, Flycast completed a merger
      with InterStep, Inc. ("InterStep") a Massachusetts corporation which
      commenced operations in 1995. The transaction has been accounted for as a
      pooling of interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial
      statements of the Company for all periods presented have been restated to
      include the accounts of InterStep (see Note 9). No adjustments were
      required to conform accounting policies of the entities. There were no
      significant intercompany transactions requiring elimination for any
      periods presented.

      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. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
      customers' respective financial conditions, and, generally, requires no
      collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for
      uncollectible accounts receivable based on the expected collectibility of
      accounts receivable.

      Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit
      with original maturities of three months or less at the time of
      acquisition.

      Investments consist of certificates of deposit with an original maturity
      date of greater than three months at the time of acquisition. Such
      investments are considered available for sale and have carrying values
      which approximate fair value.

      Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
      Equipment held under capital leases is stated at the present value of
      minimum lease payments. Depreciation on property and equipment is
      calculated on the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of
      the assets. Equipment held under capital leases is amortized on the
      straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated
      useful life of the asset.

      Revenue Recognition - Revenues derived from the delivery of advertising
      impressions through third-party Web sites and delivery of e-mail content
      are recognized in the period the advertising impressions or e-mail
      contents are delivered provided collection of the resulting receivable is
      probable. Revenues from list management and distribution services are
      recognized when services have been performed. Amounts payable to third
      party Web sites for advertisements displayed on such sites are recorded as
      cost of revenue in the period the advertising impressions or e-mails are
      delivered.

                                       6

      Advertising expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising
      expenses were not significant in 1996 or 1997 and were $634,000 in 1998.

      Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

      Income Taxes - Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for future taxable
      amounts, and deferred tax assets are recognized for future deductions, net
      of a valuation allowance to reduce net deferred tax assets to amounts that
      are more likely than not to be realized.

      Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
      subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of trade
      receivables. The Company's credit risk is mitigated by the Company's
      credit evaluation process and the reasonably short collection terms. The
      Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts
      receivable and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

      Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments include cash
      and cash equivalents, short-term investments, notes receivable from
      stockholders and long-term debt. At December 31, 1997 and 1998, the fair
      values of these instruments approximated their financial statement
      carrying amounts.

      Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for its employee stock
      option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles
      Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
      Accordingly, no accounting recognition is given to stock options granted
      to employees (including directors) at fair market value until they are
      exercised. Upon exercise, the net proceeds are credited to stockholders'
      equity (deficit). Compensation expense is recognized for stock options
      granted to employees (including directors) at less than fair market value.

      The Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees in
      accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and
      Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18 under the fair value based
      method.

      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of -
      The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
      or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
      assets or intangibles may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
      be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
      asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by
      the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to
      be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
      the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of
      are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs
      to sell.

      Loss per Common Share - Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and
      is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the
      weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period
      (excluding shares subject to repurchase). Diluted loss per common share
      reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
      contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
      stock. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation in loss
      periods as their effect would be antidilutive.

      Pro Forma Net Loss per Common Share - Pro forma basic and diluted loss per
      common share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common
      stockholders by the weighted average number of

                                       7
<PAGE>

      common shares outstanding for the period (excluding shares subject to
      repurchase) and the weighted average number of common shares resulting
      from the assumed conversion of outstanding shares of mandatorily
      redeemable preferred stock.

      Recently Issued Accounting Standards - In June 1997, the Financial
      Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
      Comprehensive Income," which requires an enterprise to report, by major
      components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the
      period from nonowner sources; and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
      Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes
      annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business
      segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic
      areas and major customers. The Company had no comprehensive income items
      to report for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. The
      Company currently operates one reportable segment under SFAS No. 131.
      Adoption of these statements in 1998 did not impact the Company's
      financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

      In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
      Instruments and Hedging Activities," which defines derivatives, requires
      that all derivatives be carried at fair value, and provides for hedge
      accounting when certain conditions are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for
      the Company in fiscal 2001. Although the Company has not fully assessed
      the implications of SFAS No. 133, the Company does not believe that
      adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Company's
      financial position or results of operations.

      The Company established 100% valuation allowance at December 31, 1996,
      1997 and 1998 due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits from
      its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.

      At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss ("NOL")
      carryforwards of approximately $11,000,000 for federal and state income
      tax purposes. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2004 for state and
      2011 for federal purposes. The Company also has available federal and
      state research and

                                       9
<PAGE>

      development tax credit carryforwards of $77,000 and $58,000, respectively,
      which had no expiration date as of December 31, 1998.

      Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar California rules place a
      limitation on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by NOL
      carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change
      in ownership). Due to these provisions, utilization of the NOL and tax
      credit carryforwards may be limited.

      Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

      In July 1997, the Company issued 611,295 shares of Series A redeemable
      convertible stock in exchange for all 1,000 shares of outstanding common
      stock. Additionally, in July 1997, 300,000 shares of Series A preferred
      stock were issued upon conversion of $300,000 of convertible notes. In
      July, August and December 1997, the Company issued 5,324,532 shares of
      Series B preferred stock for $1.33 per share. In December 1998, the
      Company issued 497,785 shares of Series C preferred stock for $9.04 per
      share.

      Significant terms of the Series A, B and C redeemable convertible
      preferred stock are as follows (see Note 9):

            o     At the option of the holder, each share of preferred stock is
                  convertible at any time into one share of common stock,
                  subject to adjustment for certain dilutive issuances. As of
                  December 31, 1998, no such adjustments had occurred. Shares
                  automatically convert into common stock upon the earlier of
                  (a) completion of a public offering with aggregate proceeds
                  greater than $15,000,000 at not less than $8.00 per share or
                  (b) upon the consent of more than 50% of the holders of the
                  preferred stock, voting together as a single class.

            o     Series A, B and C convertible preferred stock are entitled to
                  annual noncumulative cash dividends of $0.08, $0.106 and
                  $0.723 per share, respectively, when and if declared by the
                  Board of Directors.

            o     In the event of any liquidation of the Company (which includes
                  the acquisition of the Company by another entity), the holders
                  of Series B and Series C preferred stock have a liquidation

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  preference over common stock and Series A preferred stock of
                  $1.33 per share and $9.04 per share, respectively, plus all
                  declared but unpaid dividends. After such payment, the holders
                  of Series A preferred stock have a liquidation preference of
                  $1.00 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends. Upon
                  payment of all preferred stock liquidation preferences, any
                  remaining proceeds will be allocated to the common
                  stockholders.

            o     Any time after May 31, 2002, upon the vote of at least
                  two-thirds of the then outstanding redeemable convertible
                  preferred stock, the Company will be required to redeem all of
                  the redeemable convertible preferred stock at the liquidation
                  preference plus an amount equal to $0.08, $0.106 and $0.723
                  per share per year compounded annually for Series A, B and C,
                  respectively, less any cash dividends paid. As a result, the
                  Company has recorded an increase to the carrying values by the
                  accretion of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of
                  $206,000 in 1997 and $656,000 in 1998.

            o     Holders of preferred stock have the same voting rights as the
                  holders of common stock.

      Preferred Stock Warrants

      In 1997, in connection with certain loan arrangements, the Company issued
      five year warrants to purchase 33,834 shares of Series B preferred stock
      at $1.33 per share and 7,500 shares of Series A preferred stock at $1.00
      per share to a bank. The warrants expire in 2002. The fair value of these
      warrants of $33,000 was recognized as interest expense in 1997.

      Also in 1997, in connection with a bridge loan arrangement, the Company
      issued a five year warrant to purchase 43,854 shares of Series B preferred
      stock at $1.33 per share. The warrant expires in 2002 or upon closing of
      an underwritten public offering. The fair value of these warrants of
      $36,000 was recognized as interest expense in 1997.

      As discussed in Note 4, in 1998, the Company granted a lender Series C
      preferred stock warrants to purchase 55,409 shares at $4.51 per share, and
      72,324 shares at $4.42 per share. The warrants expire upon the earlier of
      five years from the grant date or two years from closing of an
      underwritten public offering. The fair value of the warrants of $304,000
      is being accreted to interest expense over the life of the financing
      agreements.

      In 1998, in connection with certain bridge loan arrangements, the Company
      issued warrants to purchase 132,840 shares of Series C preferred stock at
      $9.04 per share to various lenders. The warrants expire in 2003 or upon
      closing of an underwritten public offering. The fair value of these
      warrants of $200,000 was recognized as interest expense in 1998.

      Notes Receivable from Stockholders

      In July 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,275,011 shares of
      common stock to officers and members of the Board of Directors. In
      connection with such issuance, the Company's board members paid for the
      stock by issuing notes payable (secured by the shares of the Company's
      common stock purchased) to the Company. The secured note payable bears
      interest at 6.65% per annum with the entire principal balance of the note,
      together with all accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable on the
      earlier of (a) nine months after the closing of an initial public offering
      of the Company's common stock or (b) July 2002 or (c) termination of
      employment. The shares vest over a four year period. Any unvested shares
      purchased are subject to repurchase rights by the Company upon occurrence
      of certain events or conditions, such as employment termination, at the
      original purchase price. Of such shares,

                                       11
<PAGE>

      there were 1,990,635 and 997,500 shares subject to repurchase at December
      31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

      Additionally, in September 1998, two officers of the Company exercised
      options to purchase 357,000 shares with an exercise price of $1.25 by
      issuing notes payable (secured by the shares of the Company's common stock
      purchased). The secured note payable bear interest at 5.54% per annum with
      the entire principal balances of the notes, together with all accrued and
      unpaid interest, due and payable on the earlier of (a) nine months after
      the closing of an underwritten public offering, (b) September 2003 or (c)
      termination of employment.

      Stock Option Plans

      The Company's stock option plans (the "Plans") provide for the grant of up
      to 2,850,000 incentive or nonstatutory options to employees, directors and
      consultants of the Company at the fair market value of the common stock on
      the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted
      under the Plans generally vest ratably over periods of up to four years
      and expire ten years from the date of grant. The Plans also provide for
      early exercise of options prior to full vesting. Any unvested shares
      purchased are subject to repurchase rights by the Company upon occurrence
      of certain events or conditions, such as employment termination, at the
      original purchase price. There were 528,289 shares subject to repurchase
      at December 31, 1998.

      Options and Warrants Granted to Nonemployees

      In 1998, the Company granted options and warrants for common stock to
      nonemployees for services performed and to be performed through 2002. In
      connection with these awards, the Company recognized $178,000 in
      stock-based compensation expense related to such options which vested
      during 1998. At December 31, 1998, unvested options granted to
      nonemployees totaled 24,479 shares.

      Stock-Based Compensation

      During 1998, the Company issued common stock options at less than the fair
      value of its common stock. The fair value of the common stock, weighted
      based on options granted in 1998, was $2.75 per share. Accordingly, the
      Company recorded $2,929,000 as the value of such options in 1998.
      Stock-based compensation of $1,158,000 was amortized to expense in 1998
      and at December 31, 1998, the Company had $1,771,000 in deferred stock
      compensation related to such options, which will be amortized to expense
      through 2002.

      During 1997, the Company issued common stock options at exercise prices
      equal to the fair value of its common stock. Accordingly, no stock-based
      compensation was recorded for that period.

      Additional Stock Plan Information

      As discussed in Note 1, the Company accounts for its stock-based awards to
      employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion
      No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related
      interpretations.

      SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires the
      disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share
      had the Company adopted the fair value method since the Company's
      inception. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to
      employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even
      though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely
      tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which
      significantly differ from the Company's stock option awards.

      The Company's calculations for employee grants were made using the minimum
      value option pricing model with the following weighted average
      assumptions:

      For the three years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company
      had securities outstanding which could potentially dilute basic earnings
      per share in the future, but were excluded in the computation of diluted
      net loss per share in the periods presented, as their effect would have
      been antidilutive. Such outstanding securities consist of the following at
      December 31, 1998: 6,733,612 shares of convertible preferred stock,
      warrants to purchase 345,761 shares of preferred stock, and options and
      warrants to purchase 1,979,181 shares of common stock. There were
      1,990,635 and 1,525,789 shares subject to repurchase by the Company at
      December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

      Legal Matters

      In connection with the termination of employment of an officer, the
      Company foreclosed on 264,560 shares of the Company's common stock
      securing a promissory note from that officer. If that officer should elect
      to legally contest the number of shares issued to him, and if additional
      shares are ultimately issued, the Company could incur a charge equal to
      the fair market value of such shares. The ultimate outcome of this matter
      cannot be determined at this time.

      Additionally, the Company is involved in various other claims and legal
      actions. Management does not expect that the outcome of these other claims
      and actions will have a material effect on the Company's financial
      position or results of operations.

9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      In January 1999, the Company sold 1,496,347 shares of Series C preferred
      stock at $9.04 per share for proceeds of $13,527,000.

      On January 4, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder
      approval, the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Stock Plan"). The 1999
      Stock Plan will serve as the successor equity incentive

                                       15
<PAGE>

      program to the Company's existing 1997 Stock Option Plan. A total of
      2,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance
      under the 1999 Stock Plan. On March 30, 1999, the Board of Directors
      adopted an amendment to the 1999 Stock Plan that increased the shares of
      common stock reserved for issuance to 3,500,000. The number of shares
      reserved will increase for each of the next five years by the lesser of
      1,000,000 shares or 3% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding
      at the beginning of the year.

      On January 28, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to
      stockholder approval, the 1999 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the
      "Directors' Plan"). Under the Directors' Plan, each person who becomes a
      nonemployee director after the effective date of the Directors' Plan may
      be granted nonstatutory stock options. A total of 200,000 shares of common
      stock have initially been reserved for issuance under the Directors' Plan.

      On January 28, 1999, the Board of Directors approved, subject to
      stockholder approval, the reincorporation of the Company in the State of
      Delaware and the associated exchange of one share of common stock or
      preferred stock of the Company for every share of common stock or
      preferred stock, as the case may be, of the Company's California
      predecessor. Such reincorporation and stock exchange will become effective
      prior to the effective date of the initial public offering contemplated by
      the Company.

      Additionally, on January 28, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted, subject
      to stockholder approval, the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
      "Purchase Plan"). Under the Purchase Plan, eligible employees are allowed
      to have salary withholdings of up to 10% of their base compensation to
      purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of
      the market value of the stock at the beginning or end of defined purchase
      periods. The initial purchase period commences upon the effective date for
      the initial public offering of the Company's common stock. The Company has
      initially reserved 350,000 shares of common stock for issuance under this
      plan, and the number of shares reserved will increase for each of the next
      five years by the lesser of 75,000 shares or 0.5% of the shares of common
      stock outstanding at the beginning of the year.

      On May 4, 1999, Flycast completed an initial public offering of 3,000,000
      shares of the Flycast's common stock. In addition, on June 4, 1999, the
      Company sold an additional 200,000 shares under the underwriters'
      overallotment option. Total net proceeds were $74.4 million. Upon the
      closing of the initial public offering, Flycast's mandatorily redeemable
      preferred stock converted into 6.9 million shares of common stock.

      On August 30, 1999, Flycast completed a merger with InterStep, Inc., a
      Massachusetts corporation which commenced operations in 1995. InterStep
      provides publishers with e-mail content management, list management and
      distribution services on an outsourced basis. In the transaction, Flycast
      issued 480,337 shares of common stock to InterStep's stockholders, of
      which 47,558 shares are held by an escrow agent to serve as security for
      the indemnity provided by stockholders of InterStep. The Company also
      assumed all outstanding InterStep common stock options, which were
      converted to options to purchase approximately 10,012 shares of the
      Company's common stock. No adjustments were required to conform accounting
      policies of the entities. There were no significant intercompany
      transactions requiring elimination for any periods presented.

      The above transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests
      and, accordingly, the supplemental consolidated financial statements of
      the Company for all periods presented have been restated to include the
      accounts of InterStep.

      On September 30, 1999, the Company announced that a definitive agreement
      was entered into to be acquired by CMGI, Inc. ("CMGI") in a
      stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the agreement, CMGI will issue
      .4738 CMGI shares for every Flycast share held on the closing date of the
      transaction. Closing of the merger is subject to customary conditions,
      including formal approval by the Company's shareholders. In connection
      with the merger, the Company also entered into a Stock Option Agreement
      dated as of September 29, 1999, whereby the Company granted CMGI an option
      to purchase up to 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company common
      stock, which option may be exercised in the event that the Merger
      Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances. Related to the
      acquisition, the Company incurred $1,350,000 in financial advisory
      services expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

INTERSTEP, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================

1.    ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Organization - InterStep, Inc. (the "Company"), a Massachusetts
      corporation, is a closely held, electronic mail ("e-mail") management
      company founded in 1995. The Company provides publishers with e-mail
      content management, list management, and distribution services on an
      outsourced basis. The Company has a suite of web-based management tools
      and a three-tier, back-end distribution architecture.

      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 Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and
      certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less
      at the time of acquisition.

      Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
      Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present
      value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation on property and equipment is
      calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
      of the assets. Equipment held under capital leases is amortized using the
      straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated
      useful life of the asset.

      Revenue Recognition - Revenues derived from the delivery of e-mail content
      are recognized in the period the e-mail contents are delivered, provided
      collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Revenues from list
      management and distribution services are recognized when services have
      been performed.

      Advertising Expenses - Advertising expenses are charged to operations as
      incurred. Advertising expenses were not significant in 1997 or 1998.

      Research and Development Expenses - Research and development expenses are
      charged to operations as incurred.

      Income Taxes - The Company elected to be taxed under the provisions of
      Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code ("Subchapter S") which provides
      that the stockholders are taxed on their proportionate share of the
      taxable income. As a result of the Company's Subchapter S election, the
      accompanying statements of operations do not include an income tax
      provision for federal income taxes.

      Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
      subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of trade
      receivables. The Company's credit risk is mitigated by the Company's
      credit evaluation process and the reasonably short collection terms. The
      Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts
      receivable. One customer represented 50% and 77% of total revenue for the
      years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Another customer
      represented 44% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997.
      The amounts outstanding for these customers are $120,000 and $244,000 at
      December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.


                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>

      Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments include cash
      and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and note
      payable to stockholders. At December 31, 1997 and 1998, the fair values of
      these instruments approximated their financial statement carrying amount.

      Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for its employee stock
      option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles
      Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
      Accordingly, no accounting recognition is given to stock options granted
      to employees (including directors) at fair market value until they are
      exercised. Upon exercise, the net proceeds are credited to stockholders'
      equity. In addition, accounting recognition is given to stock options
      granted to employees (including directors) at less than fair market value
      (see Note 7). The Company accounts for stock grants issued to nonemployees
      in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and
      Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18 under the fair-value-based
      method.

      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of -
      The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
      or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
      assets or intangibles may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
      be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
      asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by
      the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to
      be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
      the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of
      are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs
      to sell.

      Recently Issued Accounting Standards - In June 1997, the Financial
      Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
      Comprehensive Income," which requires an enterprise to report, by major
      components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the
      period from nonowner sources; and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
      Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes
      annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business
      segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic
      areas and major customers. The Company had no comprehensive income items
      to report for either of the two years in the period ended December 31,
      1998. The Company currently operates one reportable segment under SFAS No.
      131. Adoption of these statements currently does not impact the Company's
      financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or financial
      statement disclosures.

      In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
      Instruments and Hedging Activities," which defines derivatives, requires
      that all derivatives be carried at fair value, and provides for hedge
      accounting when certain conditions are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for
      the Company in fiscal 2001. Although the Company has not fully assessed
      the implications of SFAS No. 133, the Company does not believe adoption of
      this statement will have a material impact on the Company's financial
      position or results of operations.

      In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
      American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
      Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
      Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides guidance for an
      enterprise on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or
      obtained for internal use. SOP 98-1 is effective for the Company in 1999.
      The Company anticipates that accounting for transactions under SOP 98-1
      will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
      results of operations.

      Pro Forma Information (Unaudited) - An unaudited pro forma adjustment to
      include an incremental income tax provision, at an effective tax rate of
      40%, has been made to the historical results of operations to make the pro
      forma presentation comparable to what would have been reported had the
      Company operated as a C Corporation for federal and state tax purposes.

      Interim Financial Information (Unaudited) - The interim financial
      information as of June 30, 1999 and for the six months ended June 30, 1998
      and 1999, is unaudited and has been prepared on the same basis as the
      audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited
      information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
      adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim information.
      Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1999, are not
      necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
      ending December 31, 1999.

2.    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

      Property and equipment as of December 31 consisted of the following:

                                                           1997          1998

                                                        ---------     ---------

      Net                                               $  42,803     $ 160,080
                                                        =========     =========

      The accumulated depreciation associated with computer equipment under
      capital lease was $0 and $10,487 at December 31, 1997 and 1998,
      respectively.

3.    NOTES PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS

      The Company has notes payable to two stockholders, payable on demand
      bearing an annual interest rate of 6.74%. The outstanding amounts as of
      December 31, 1997 and 1998 are $57,881 and $61,782, respectively. Interest
      expense incurred amounted to $3,800 and $3,900 for the years ended
      December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

4.    DEBT

      In 1997, the Company entered into a revolving line-of-credit agreement
      with a bank under which the Company may borrow up to $12,000 at an
      interest rate of prime plus 5%. The borrowings under the line of credit
      are unsecured. There are no amounts outstanding on the line of credit as
      of December 31, 1997 and 1998.

5.    INCOME TAXES

      As of December 31, 1998, the Company has available state research and
      development tax credit carryforwards of $15,100 which expire in 2003.
      State rules place limitations on use of research and development tax
      credits after a change in control. Due to these provisions, utilization of
      the research and development tax credit carryforwards may be limited.

      The Company, under the provisions of subchapter S, is subject to a state
      income tax of $456, and accordingly, such amounts have been recorded as
      income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.


                                     - 8 -

6.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

      Common Stock - On August 20, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors
      approved a 950-for-1 stock split and authorized an increase of common
      stock from 1,000 shares without par value to 1,250,000 shares with par
      value of $0.01 per share. All references to number of shares in the
      financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a
      retroactive basis.

      In February 1999, the Company granted 9,500 common shares of the Company
      to a nonemployee consultant. Accordingly, the Company recorded $104,226 as
      the value of such stock granted and a corresponding stock-based
      compensation expense in the six-month period ended June 30, 1999.

      Stock Option Plan - The Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
      provides for the grant of up to 50,000 incentive or nonstatutory options
      to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company
      at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant as
      determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted under the Plan
      generally vest ratably over a period of three and a half years and expire
      10 years from the date of the grant.

      Deferred Stock Compensation - At December 31, 1998, the Company had
      $80,848 in deferred stock compensation related to options granted to
      employees. This amount will be amortized to stock-based compensation
      expense through 2002.

      Stock-Based Compensation - During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
      Company issued 10,000 common stock options at $1.15 per share, which was
      less than the deemed fair value of $11.00 per share. Accordingly, the
      Company recorded $98,210 as the value of such options. Stock-based
      compensation of $65,404 was amortized to expense in the six-month period
      ended June 30, 1999. The Company had $113,654 in deferred stock
      compensation, which will be amortized to expense through 2003.

6.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

      During 1998, the Company issued 9,000 common stock options at less than
      the fair value of its common stock. The fair value of the common stock
      granted in 1998 was $0.74 per share, which was less than the deemed fair
      value of $11.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company recorded $92,078 as
      the value of such options in 1998. Stock-based compensation of $11,230 was
      amortized to expense in 1998, and at December 31, 1998, the Company had
      $80,848 in deferred stock compensation related to such options, which will
      be amortized to expense through 2002.

      A summary of the Company's stock option activity follows:

                                                                       Weighted-

      Additional Stock Plan Information - As discussed in Note 1, the Company
      accounts for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic-value method in
      accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
      Employees," and its related interpretations.

      SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires the
      disclosure of pro forma net income had the Company adopted the fair value
      method since the Company's inception. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value
      of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of
      option- pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate
      the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without
      vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock
      option awards.

6.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

      Additional Stock Plan Information (Continued) - The Company's calculations
      for employee grants were made using the minimum value, option-pricing
      model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the year ended
      December 31, 1998:

      Dividend yield                                                   None
      Risk-free interest rate                                          4.60%
      Expected term                                                    3.5 years

      The weighted-average minimum value per option as of the date of grant for
      options granted during 1998 was $1.34.

      If the computed minimum values of the Company's stock-based awards to
      employees had been amortized to expense over the vesting period of the
      awards as specified under SFAS No. 123, net income on a pro forma basis
      (as compared to such items as reported) would have been as follows at
      December 31, 1998:

      Loss attributable to common stockholders:
        As reported                                                    $446,103

      Litigation - From time to time, the Company is involved in routine
      litigation that arises in the ordinary course of its business. There are
      no pending legal proceedings which management of the Company believes
      could materially affect the Company's financial position or results of
      operations.

8.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On August 30, 1999, Flycast Communications Corporation ("Flycast")
      completed the acquisition of the Company through a merger with Fremont
      Acquisition Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation and wholly owned
      subsidiary of Flycast. As a result of this acquisition, the Company became
      a wholly owned subsidiary of Flycast. In the transaction, which will be
      accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, Flycast issued 480,337 shares of
      common stock to the Company's stockholders. Of the 480,337 shares of
      common stock, 47,558 shares are held by an escrow agent to serve as
      security for the indemnity provided by some of the stockholders of the
      Company.

      On September 30, 1999, Flycast announced that a definitive agreement was
      entered into for Flycast to be acquired by CMGI, Inc. ("CMGI") in a
      stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the agreement, CMGI will issue
      .4738 CMGI shares for every share of Flycast held on the closing date of
      the transaction. Closing of the merger is subject to customary conditions
      including formal approval by Flycast stockholders. In connection with the
      merger, Flycast also entered into a stock-option agreement, dated as of
      September 29, 1999, whereby Flycast granted CMGI an option to purchase up
      to 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Flycast common stock, which option
      may be exercised in the event that the merger agreement is terminated
      under certain circumstances.
