On March 31, 2000, we acquired all the assets and assumed substantially all the
liabilities of Telecon Communications Corp., a competitive local exchange
carrier based in Johnstown, New York, for the payment of $14,815,000 in cash.

Also, on March 31, 2000, we acquired all the shares of Telesupport, Inc., an
Internet service provider located in Johnstown, New York for 358,335 shares of
common stock.

On March 16, 2000, we closed a $15 million senior secured credit facility. We
used the proceeds of this facility to fund the cash purchase price of Telecon
Communications, Corp. The credit facility is secured by all the assets of
BiznessOnline.com and its operating subsidiaries. In connection with such
financing, the Lender received certain cash fees and a warrant to purchase
838,779 shares of our common stock at prices of $7.00 per share for 559,185
shares and $12.00 per share for 279,593 shares, subject to certain
anti-dilution and other adjustments. The Lender also received 71,429 shares
of common stock. The warrants and shares of common stock issued to the lender
have been estimated by us to have a value of $5.4 million using the
Black-Scholes method of valuation for the warrants, and the value of the
shares of common stock issued on the date of issuance. We are in the process
of obtaining an independent valuation of these warrants. The calculation of
the value of the warrants may be adjusted, if appropriate, upon completion of
the valuation process. The fair value of the warrants and shares issued have
been recorded as a discount to the related debt. This discount will be
accreted as interest expense over the life of the loan. Beginning in May
2001, and each quarter thereafter, the principal amount of the indebtedness
is to be repaid using the following schedule:

     May 2001, August 2001, November 2001 and February 2002             3.75% of outstanding principal
     May 2002, August 2002, November 2002 and February 2003             6.25% of outstanding principal
     May 2003, August 2003, November 2003, February 2004,
         May 2004, August 2004, November 2004 and February 2005         7.5% of outstanding principal
</TABLE>


In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the total
purchase price for our acquisitions is allocated on a preliminary basis, on
the date of acquisition and reviewed upon completion of valuations as
appropriate or resolution of any contingent purchase price adjustment.
Pursuant to the purchase method of accounting the excess of purchase price
over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill and is being
amortized over 5 years. A final allocation of purchase price will be
determined during 2000 with respect to our acquisitions of Prime
Communication Systems, Incorporated, NECAnet, Inc., Telecon Communications
Corp. and Telesupport, Inc., and changes, if any, will result in a change to
the amount of goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions.

The accompanying financial statements of BiznessOnline.com, Inc. include the
operating results of Global 2000 Communications, Inc, since February 1, 1999;
the four Internet service providers acquired at the closing of our Initial

Introduction

The following discussion of results of operations and of the liquidity and
capital resources of BiznessOnline.com, Inc. should be read in conjunction with
our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto appearing in this filing on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We derive Internet access revenues primarily from subscriptions from
individuals and small to medium sized businesses for dial-up and dedicated
access to the Internet. Subscription fees vary between $9.95 and $24.95 per
month among our Internet service providers and by the billing plans for a
particular Internet service provider. The subscription rates vary among
Internet service providers due to competitive and economic factors. Most of
our subscribers pay us by credit card automatically on a monthly basis. In
addition, we host commercial and individual web sites and provide commercial
web site design services, as well as e-commerce, advertising and interactive
web site support. These services are predominantly utilized by small to
medium sized businesses looking to establish a presence on the world wide
web. We also earn revenue by providing dedicated access services via
telephone lines. With the acquisition of Telecon Communications Corp., on
March 31, 2000, we now resell local and long distance telephone service in
New York and we intend to resell local and long distance telephone service in
our other markets pending local regulatory approvals.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000

We were formed in June 1998, and conducted no significant operations between
then and January 31, 1999, the date we acquired Global 2000 Communications,
Inc., an Internet service provider located in Albany, New York. We acquired four
additional Internet service providers on May 17, 1999 in conjunction with our
initial public offering, one Internet service provider on July 30, 1999, a web
application service provider on August 18, 1999, and a web hosting company on
September 30, 1999, an Internet service provider on December 14, 1999, an
Internet service provider on December 15, 1999, an Internet service provider on
December 29, 1999, a competitive local exchange carrier on March 31, 2000 and an
Internet service provider on March 31, 2000.

We recorded revenue of $4.1 million during the quarter, an increase of $3.7
million, or 862%, from $.4 million in the first quarter of 1999. The increase
was primarily a result of the acquisitions we completed during 1999.

The following table provides a comparison of connectivity and operations, sales
and marketing and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues:

     General and administrative                               19.1%      34.7%
</TABLE>

Connectivity and operations expenses increased $3.2 million, from $.1 million
to $3.3 million. The increase was primarily a result of the acquisitions we
completed during 1999. The 2000 costs also include approximately $.7 million
of costs associated with integrating the combined companies. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, we expanded our technical service and support
staff at our new call center located in Albany, New York in order to provide
24 hour by 7 day customer support and also expanded our operations staff at
our data center in Albany, New York.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $.9 million, from $.2 million to $1.1
million. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions we
completed during 1999, combined with the 15 new sales people hired during the
first quarter of 2000. We are also increasing our advertising expenses as we
enter new markets and build a comprehensive sales and marketing team.

General and administrative expenses increased $.6 million, from $.2
million to $.8 million. The increase was primarily a result of the acquisitions
we completed during 1999 along with the costs of corporate overhead, which did
not have significant operations until the second quarter of 1999. General and
administrative costs will continue to increase in order to support our growth,
primarily the implementation of a common billing system.

Depreciation expense increased $.4 million, from $25,000 to $.4 million. The
increase was a result of the acquisitions completed during 1999 along with
the capital equipment purchased during 1999 and the first quarter of 2000.
These purchases were related to the integration of the common billing and
accounting systems and the building of our data

                                       9

center in Albany, New York. Depreciation expense will continue to increase as
our Internet service providers expand their networks to support new and
existing subscribers.

Amortization expense increased $1.6 million, from $.1 million to $1.7
million. This increase was a result of an increase in goodwill resulting from
the acquisitions completed during 1999. Amortization expense will continue to
increase as we acquire additional companies and will vary according to
purchase prices and intangible assets. Our policy with respect to completed
acquisitions and for future acquisitions is to amortize the portion of
purchase price attributable to goodwill and other intangibles over the
appropriate period, generally five years.

Interest income, (expense), net

Interest income, net was $4,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to interest expense, net of $1,000 during the same period of 1999. The
difference was a result of interest income earned during 2000 of $112,000, as a
result of our cash balances. This amount was offset by interest expense of
$108,000 on the debt which we issued during the first quarter of 2000.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, which consisted solely
of state income taxes, was $94,000. We recorded no income tax expense or benefit
for the same period of 1999. We have not recorded any income tax benefit from
the non-deductible amortization of goodwill.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $3.4 million, or $0.39 per
share, as compared to $.1 million, or $0.04 per share during 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2000, we had $5.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, a
decrease of $2.0 million from December 31, 1999. Net cash used by operating
activities was $1.8 million. Net cash used for investing activities was $14.6
million, primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Telecon and Telesupport
in March 2000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.9 million,
primarily as a result of establishing a $15 million senior secured credit
facility with MCG Finance Corporation on March 16, 2000.

We expect our capital expenditures to increase as our operations continue to
expand. It is anticipated that financial resources will be utilized in
acquiring additional communications equipment and improvements to technology
at our existing data center in Albany, New York and our centers currently
under development in Hartford, Connecticut and Amherst, New York, which are
expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2000. These investments
will allow us to better support our current subscribers and newly acquired
subscribers.

We believe that our cash flow from operations and the remaining proceeds from
our initial public stock offering, which was completed on May 17, 1999, will
provide the cash required to fund existing operations through the remainder
of the fiscal year. However, we intend to pursue our strategy of acquiring
additional Internet service providers, web hosts, competitive local exchange
carriers, and e-commerce service companies through the use of cash on hand,
the issuance of additional common stock, and proceeds from additional debt
financing, if available. However, if we do not secure additional sources of
financing, we will not have the resources to continue to pursue our
acquisition strategy, and our growth will be slowed. Any significant
acquisitions or increases in our growth rate could materially affect our
operating and financial expectations and results, liquidity and capital
resources.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure Statement

We did not experience any interruption in our business activities or incur any
impairment to our financial condition or results of operations as a result of
passing into calendar year 2000. We will continue to monitor our own internal
systems and products to determine the impact, if any, of problems associated
with the year 2000. To date, year 2000 costs are not considered to be material
to our financial condition nor have we incurred any significant unplanned
expenditures to address or remediate year 2000 problems.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our results of
operations during the three months ended March 31, 2000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


                                       10
<PAGE>

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." Statement 133 changes the previous accounting
definition of "derivative" which focused on freestanding contracts like options
and forwards, including futures and swaps, expanding it to include embedded
derivatives and many commodity contracts. Under Statement 133, every derivative
is recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. Statement 133 requires that changes in the derivative fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specified hedge accounting criteria are
met. This Statement as amended by Statement 137 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Earlier application is allowed as of the
beginning of any quarter beginning after issuance. We do not anticipate that
Statement 133 will have a material impact on our financial position or results
of operations.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. The
Company was required to adopt this accounting guidance, as amended by SAB 101A,
no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The company believes its
existing revenue recognition policies and procedures are in compliance with SAB
101, and therefore, SAB 101's adoption did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation: an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. This Interpretation
clarifies the application of APB No. 25 for certain issues, including: the
definition of an employee, the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies
as a noncompensatory plan, the accounting consequence of modifications to the
terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and the accounting for an
exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. This
Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions apply to
events occurring after December 15, 1999 or January 12, 2000. To the extent that
this Interpretation covers events occurring during the period after December 15,
1998, or January 12, 2000, but before the effective date, the effects of
applying this Interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1,
2000. The Company expects that the adoption of this Interpretation will not have
a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.

Item 3.  Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We provide Internet access and related services to individuals and small to
medium sized businesses in northeastern New York state, Massachusetts and
Connecticut. We are not subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates or
weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Our interest income is subject to
changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly since the
majority of our investments are in short-term instruments. Due to the nature of
our short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material market
risk exposure. Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required.

Our investment policy requires us to invest funds in excess of current operating
requirements in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and
investment grade obligations of state and local governments and U.S.
corporations.
