                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2000 and
for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited. In the
opinion of OneSource's management, the March 31, 2000 and 1999 unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations for that period. The results of operations
for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2000.

     The balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in OneSource's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 29, 2000.

2.   Stockholders' Equity

     In May 1999, OneSource completed an initial public offering of 3,636,000
shares of its common stock, of which 2,500,000 shares were issued and sold by
OneSource, for net proceeds of $27.0 million. As a result, all outstanding
shares of Class P common stock were automatically converted into 717,119 shares
of OneSource's common stock.

     In conjunction with the initial public offering, OneSource converted the
accumulated "preference amount" on Class P common stock of $3,387,000 into
282,250 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $12.00 per share.
Subsequently, OneSource repurchased and retired the equivalent number of common
stock shares issued for the preference amount at $12.00 per share.

3.   Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share is computed in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128
requires the presentation of two amounts, basic earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the two-class
method of computing earnings per share has been used because the Class P common
stock and the common stock share ratably in earnings remaining subsequent to the
12% yield on the Class P common stock.

     Earnings per share for Class P common stock is calculated by dividing the
sum of the yield earned of $200,000 and loss attributable to Class P common
stock of $61,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 by the weighted
average number of shares of Class P common stock outstanding during the period.
Basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for the three



                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7


months ended March 31, 1999 as there are no securities outstanding that would
result in dilution for Class P common stock.

     Loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing loss attributable
to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by
considering the impact of potential common stock as if they were converted into
common stock at the beginning of the period. Potential common stock equivalents
are not included in loss periods as they are non-dilutive.

     Total potential common equivalent shares consist of 3,748,967 stock options
outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $3.33 per share as of
March 31, 2000.

4.   Comprehensive Loss

     Total comprehensive loss was $868,000 and $376,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

5.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB No. 101 provides guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles to revenue recognition issues in financial statements.
OneSource has reviewed the impact of SAB No.101, which is effective for 2000,
and has determined that there was no impact on its consolidated results of
operations and financial position.

     In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FAS
Interpretation ("FIN") No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
Stock Compensation - an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25." FIN No. 44
primarily clarifies (a) the definition of an employee for purposes of applying
APB Opinion No. 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as
a noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various modifications
to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards, (d) and the accounting
for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN No.
44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN No. 44 cover
specific events that occurred after either December 15, 1998 or January 12,
2000. OneSource does not expect the application of FIN No. 44 to have a material
impact on their financial position or results of operations.

6.   Geographic Information

     Revenue was distributed geographically as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The discussion and analysis below contain trend analysis and other
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set
forth below under "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" and in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 29, 2000.

OVERVIEW

     OneSource provides Web-based business and financial information to
professionals who need quick access to reliable corporate, industry and market
intelligence. OneSource was formed as a division of Lotus Development
Corporation in 1987 and became an independent company when it was purchased in a
management buy-out in 1993. Until December 1996, our business was to provide
business information to the financial community using CD Rom technology as the
primary method of distribution. The introduction of Business Browser in December
1996 marked a fundamental shift in our business as we began a transition away
from our legacy CD Rom business and toward Web-based products.

     On October 1, 1999, OneSource acquired Corporate Technology Information
Services, Inc. ("Corporate Technology"), a Delaware corporation located in
Woburn, Massachusetts. Corporate Technology is a provider of high technology
company profiles with a focus on emerging private companies. Pursuant to the
terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, the consideration paid by OneSource
was $7.6 million in cash. A portion of the cash consideration is being held in
escrow to be released in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger and an
Escrow Agreement. For financial statement purposes, this acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the results of operations of
Corporate Technology subsequent to October 1, 1999 have been included in
OneSource's consolidated statement of operations.

     Revenues from Web-based products accounted for $10.1 million, or 87% of
total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase from $6.9
million, or 85% of total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 1999. In
the same period, CD Rom product and other revenues, which consist of printed
directories and mailing lists, (products acquired as part of the corporate
technology acquisition) increased slightly to $1.5 million, or 13% of total
revenues, from $1.2 million, or 15% of total revenues due to the revenues
associated with the acquisition of Corporate Technology. As of March 31, 2000,
667 organizations subscribed to our Business Browser product line, and the
annualized contract value for these organizations was $43.6 million.

     Our revenues for both CD Rom and Web-based products consist of monthly
subscription fees from customer contracts. Customer contracts span varying
periods of time but are generally for one year, are renewable for like periods,
and are payable in advance. Subscription fees generally are quoted to clients on
an annual basis but are earned as revenues on a monthly basis over the
subscription period. Invoices are recorded as accounts receivable until paid and
as deferred revenues until earned. Deferred revenues attributable to Web-based
products decreased 3.8% to $21.9 million as of March 31, 2000 from $22.8 million
as of December 31, 1999 and increased 54% from $14.2 million as of March 31,
1999. Other revenues are recognized when goods and services are delivered.



                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

     Cost of revenues consists primarily of royalties to information providers
and, to a lesser extent, employee salaries and benefits, facilities allocation
and related expenses, depreciation associated with computers for data processing
and on-line requirements, and Web hosting expenses. We enter into contracts with
our information providers, which generally are for a term of at least one-year
and are automatically renewable if not canceled with advance notice. These
contracts may be terminated under certain circumstances. Under these
arrangements, royalties are typically paid on a quarterly basis to information
providers. Royalties generally are calculated either as a flat percentage of our
revenues or as a per-user fee that declines as the number of authorized users of
the product increases. In limited cases, we pay a fixed fee per period.

     Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of employee salaries and
benefits and sales commissions paid to our sales force, customer support
organization and marketing personnel, as well as facilities allocation and
related expenses, direct marketing promotional materials, trade show exhibitions
and advertising. Sales commissions are paid when customers are invoiced and are
recorded as deferred subscription costs, which are amortized ratably over the
term of the contract, typically 12 months, as the associated revenues are
recognized. All other selling and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

     Platform and product development expense consists primarily of employee
salaries and benefits, facilities allocation and related expenses, as well as
outside contractor expenses, relating to the development of our "platform" of
core software supporting our products and the development of new products based
upon that platform. Platform and product development expense includes expenses
relating to the development of the Corporate Technology Database product and
implementation of our KeyID technology to integrate disparate information
sources into our Web-based products.

     General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee salaries
and benefits, facilities allocation and related expenses associated with
OneSource's management, finance, human resources, management information systems
and administrative groups.

     Other Income consists of revenue generated in conjunction with the May 1998
sale of our CD-Insurance division which allows us to focus more completely on
our new Web-based product line. In connection with the disposition, we licensed
certain of our CD Rom software to the acquiror in exchange for $4.0 million of
license fees. These license fees are being paid in eight equal quarterly
installments which began January 1, 1999 and running through December 31, 2000
and will be recognized ratably as other income. During each of the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, OneSource recorded $0.5 million of other
income related to the software license agreement.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND MARCH 31, 1999

     Revenues. Total revenues increased 42% to $11.6 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 from $8.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     Web-based product revenues increased 46% to $10.1 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 from $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
increase was attributable to the addition of new customers, an increase in the
number of user seats purchased by existing customers and the sale of new
products to existing customers. At the same time, CD Rom product and other
revenues, which consist of printed directories and mailing lists, increased by
20% to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2000 from $1.2 million in the first
quarter of 1999. Included in revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 are
$1.4 million of revenue recognized from products and customers related to the
acquired Corporate Technology business. Excluding other revenues from the
Corporate Technology revenues, CD Rom revenues decreased 90% to $0.1 million



                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

in the first quarter of 2000 from $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1999, as
OneSource continued to transition away from its legacy CD Rom business.

     Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues increased 30% to $4.5 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $3.5 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, total cost of revenues decreased to
39% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 42% for the quarter ended March
31, 1999. The increase in total cost of revenues was principally due to
increased royalty expense for our Web-based products and costs associated with
the acquired Corporate Technology business. It was offset partially by a
decrease in our costs of revenues relating to the CD Rom product line.

     Cost of Web-based product revenues increased 33% to $4.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1999, primarily due to the growth in revenue. As a percentage of Web-based
product revenues, cost of Web-based product revenues decreased to 39% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 43% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, due
to an increase in our customer base and expansion of existing customers, which
enabled OneSource to better leverage royalty rates and infrastructure expenses.

     Cost of CD Rom and other product revenues increased 11% to $0.54 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $0.49 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. This increase was solely due to costs associated with the
acquired Corporate Technology business, but was mostly offset by a decrease in
CD Rom costs attributable to decreased revenues resulting from OneSource's
continued shift away from its legacy CD Rom product line. As a percentage of CD
Rom product revenues, cost of CD Rom and other product revenues decreased to 36%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 39% for the quarter ended March 31,
1999.

     Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense increased 57%
to $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $2.9 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, principally due to increased headcount and
expenses incurred to hire and train new sales personnel in connection with our
Business Browser product line as well as the addition of a telesales group
associated with the acquired Corporate Technology business. Selling and
marketing expense increased as a percentage of total revenues to 40% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 36% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. We
expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as we continue to hire
additional sales personnel.

     Platform and Product Development Expense. Platform and product development
expense increased 37% to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from
$1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase was due
principally to additional headcount to meet new product demands as well as the
addition of system engineers associated with the acquired Corporate Technology
business. Platform and product development expense decreased as a percentage of
total revenues to 20% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 21% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense
increased 48% to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $0.9
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase was due principally
to professional fees and other costs attributable to operation as a public
company. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenues
was consistent at 11% for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

     Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $0.4 million. This expense is the result of
the acquisition of Corporate Technology and the associated amortization of
intangible assets acquired as part of that transaction.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

     Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net of interest expense, increased
283% to $0.2 million of net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
from $0.1 million of net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
This increase was primarily due to invested cash balances from the public
offering proceeds.

     Other Income. Other income was $0.5 million for each of the quarters ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 and was attributable to a software license agreement in
connection with the May 1998 sale of our CD-Insurance division for the license
and support services provided during the period.

ANNUALIZED CONTRACT VALUE

     One measure of the performance of our business is "annualized contract
value." This is a measurement we use for normalized period-to-period comparisons
to indicate business volume and growth in terms of new customers, upgrades and
expansions at existing customers. Our presentation and calculation of annualized
contract value may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies. It is not an absolute indicator and we cannot guarantee that any
annualized contract value will be ultimately realized as revenues.

     We use annualized contract value as a measure of our business because it
shows the growth or decline in our customer base in a way that revenues cannot.
Since our business is a subscription business, revenues are recognized not when
a sale is made, but in ratable portions over the term of the subscription (which
is usually twelve months). As a result, from a revenue viewpoint the addition or
loss of even a major customer contract may not have a dramatic impact on a
quarter-to-quarter basis. On the other hand, by looking at the value of customer
contracts in hand at the end of each quarter, we can more readily see trends in
our business. For example, the addition of a one-year subscription contract with
total payments of $1.0 million may only increase revenues by approximately
$250,000 ($1.0 million divided by four) in the quarter in which the sale is
made, but would increase annualized contract value by $1.0 million. Similarly,
if the customer did not renew that contract, revenues in the next quarter would
only decrease by $250,000, while annualized contract value would decrease by
$1.0 million.

     In calculating annualized contract value, we include only those contracts
where the customer has actually been invoiced. Since amounts invoiced are
included in deferred revenues on our balance sheet for all customer contracts
with terms extending beyond the month of invoice, this demonstrates that
annualized contract value is based on actual customer contracts reflected in our
historical financial statements. To compute annualized contract value, we
multiply by twelve the total amount of fees invoiced for one month and included
in deferred revenues. Annualized contract value is not intended to be an
absolute indicator of future revenues. We only annualize existing, invoiced
contracts, but we do so without regard to the remaining term of those contracts.
Most of our contracts are for twelve months, but as of the date that we
calculate annualized contract value the remaining term of nearly all of our
contracts will be less than twelve months. If a customer fails to pay its
invoiced fees or terminates the contract or if we are unable to renew a
contract, our revenues in subsequent periods may be less than expected based
solely on annualized contract values. Conversely, if we add additional customers
or renew existing contracts at higher rates, our revenues in future periods may
exceed expectations based solely on annualized contract value.

     We have increased annualized contract value attributable to Web-based
products 54% to $43.6 million as of March 31, 2000 from $28.3 million as of
March 31, 1999. The number of Web-based customers has increased 45% to 667 at
March 31, 2000 from 460 at March 31, 1999. At the same time, the average
annualized contract value of all Web-based product customers has increased 6% to
$65,300 per customer at March 31, 2000 from $61,600 per customer at March 31,
1999. This growth was attributable to an increase in the number of user seats
purchased by customers and the addition of new products.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since acquiring our business from Lotus Development Corporation in 1993, we
have funded our operations through a combination of seller financing, proceeds
received from the sale of Class P common stock and common stock in connection
with the purchase of the business from Lotus Development Corporation, bank debt,
proceeds received from the sale of non-strategic lines of business, capitalized
equipment leases, cash flows from operations and our initial public offering
which closed in May 1999.

     Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.1 million at March 31, 2000,
compared to $6.7 million at March 31, 1999, an increase of $9.4 million
primarily due to the receipt of net proceeds of $26.9 million from our initial
public offering in May 1999, less funds used to acquire Corporate Technology and
to retire outstanding long-term debt.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $0.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. Cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to
the purchases of property and equipment for $0.8 million and $0.3 million during
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, as well as $0.4
million of cash used to purchase a restricted time deposit used to guarantee a
letter of credit related to our new headquarters in 1999.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to net cash used by financing
activities of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Net cash
provided by financing activities in 2000 primarily consisted of net proceeds
from the sale of common stock, offset in part by repayments of capital


                                      -12-
<PAGE>   13


lease obligations. Net cash used in financing activities in 1999 reflected
primarily repayments of capital lease obligations.

     We do not currently have a line of credit but intend to enter into a
revolving line of credit for letters of credit and general working capital.

     We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and funds anticipated
to be generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy working capital
and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements,
which involve risks and uncertainties. OneSource's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of certain factors, including without limitation, those set forth in the
following risk factors discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2000. The
following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating OneSource
and its business.

     ONESOURCE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RETAIN KEY EMPLOYEES OF CORPORATE TECHNOLOGY.
Key founders and some employees of Corporate Technology, several of whom were
large stockholders, received a substantial cash payment upon closing of the
acquisition. In certain cases, these individuals may be financially independent.
Additionally, startup and other companies will seek out these individuals due to
the financial result they have achieved for Corporate Technology. Under the
circumstances, OneSource faces a difficult and significant task of retaining and
motivating the key personnel of Corporate Technology to stay committed to
OneSource.

     SUBSCRIBERS OF ONESOURCE AND CORPORATE TECHNOLOGY MAY NOT RENEW THEIR
SUBSCRIPTIONS AS A RESULT OF CONCERNS OVER THE ACQUISITION. The closing of our
acquisition of Corporate Technology could cause subscribers of OneSource and
Corporate Technology to allow their subscriptions to lapse as a result of
concerns over product evolution, integration and support of the combined
company's products. These non-renewals could have a material adverse effect on
the business, operating results and financial condition of OneSource.

     WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY WITH BUSINESS BROWSER AND THE PRODUCTS
ACQUIRED FROM CORPORATE TECHNOLOGY ON WHICH TO EVALUATE OUR PROSPECTS. We began
operations as an independent company in 1993. We began to migrate our business
to the Web from CD Rom-based products in early 1996, and launched the Web-based
Business Browser product line in December 1996. In 1999, we acquired several
products, primarily consisting of CD Rom, printed directories and mailing lists,
from Corporate Technology. Our prospects must be considered in light of the
risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies
transitioning to a new product line, particularly companies in the new and
rapidly evolving market for Internet and Web-based business information
products.

     OUR BUSINESS BROWSER PRODUCTS HAVE NOT BEEN PROFITABLE AND MAY NOT BECOME
PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE. We incurred losses from operations of



                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14
 approximately $1.6 million in 1996, $1.4 million in 1997, $5.0 million in 1998,
$6.4 million in 1999 and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
In addition, we have not reached the critical mass of users of Web-based
products, that we believe is necessary to effectively leverage our royalty
payments and infrastructure expenses in order to become profitable. As of March
31, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $15.8 million.

     WE RELY ON OUR BUSINESS BROWSER PRODUCT LINE, AND WE WILL NOT SUCCEED
UNLESS DEMAND FOR OUR BUSINESS BROWSER PRODUCTS CONTINUES TO GROW. Subscription
revenues from our Business Browser product line accounted for 87% of total
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000, 90% of total revenues in
1999, 53% of total revenues in 1998 and 11% in 1997. We are phasing out our
legacy CD Rom products that are not part of the Business Browser product line.
As a result, our future financial condition will depend heavily on the success
or failure of our Business Browser product line. Business Browser products were
introduced in December 1996 and it is difficult to predict demand and market
acceptance for these products in the new and rapidly evolving Web-based business
information services market. If the demand for Business Browser products does
not grow, whether due to competition, lack of market acceptance, failure of
Internet or Web use to grow in general, technological change or other factors,
our business would suffer significantly.

     ANNUALIZED CONTRACT VALUE MAY NOT BE AN ACCURATE INDICATION OF OUR
PERFORMANCE. We use "annualized contract value" as a measurement for normalized
period-to-period comparisons to indicate business volume and growth. Our
presentation and calculation of annualized contract value may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures used by other companies. It is not an absolute
indicator and we cannot guarantee that any annualized contract value will be
ultimately realized as revenues.

     COMPETITION IN OUR INDUSTRY IS INTENSE AND MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE
GREATER RESOURCES THAN WE DO; THIS COMPETITION MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
FINANCIAL RESULTS. The business information services industry is intensely
competitive. We face direct or indirect competition from the following types of
companies:

     -    large, well-established business and financial information providers
          such as Dow Jones, Lexis-Nexis, Pearson, Reuters, Factiva, Thomson,
          Primark and McGraw-Hill

     -    on-line information services or Websites targeted to specific markets
          or applications, such as NewsEdge, Factset and Bloomberg

     -    providers of sales, marketing and credit information such as Dun &
          Bradstreet

     -    Web retrieval, Web "portal" companies and other free or low-cost mass
          market on-line services such as Excite, Infoseek, Lycos, Yahoo! and
          AOL/Netscape

     -    free or low-cost specialized business and financial information
          Websites such as Hoovers.com, Marketwatch.com, Multex.com and
          TheStreet.com

     Based on reported operating results, industry reports and other publicly
available information, we believe that many of our existing competitors, as well
as a number of prospective competitors, have longer operating histories, greater
name recognition, larger customer bases and


                                      -14-
<PAGE>   15

significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.
As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging
technologies and changes in user requirements, or to devote greater resources to
the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. These
competitors may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt
more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential
employees, customers and information providers. Our competitors also may develop
products that are equal or superior to our products or that achieve greater
market acceptance than our products.

     IF OUR INFORMATION PROVIDERS STOPPED DOING BUSINESS WITH US, WE COULD NOT
CONTINUE TO SELL BUSINESS BROWSER. We do not own or create all of the original
content distributed through our products. We depend significantly on information
providers to supply information and data feeds to us on a timely basis. Our
products could experience interruptions due to any failure or delay in the
transmission or receipt of this information.

     IF OUR SOFTWARE IS DEFECTIVE, IT MIGHT BE COSTLY TO CORRECT; WE COULD GET
SUED AND OUR REPUTATION COULD BE HARMED. Complex software like the software we
develop for our products may contain errors or defects, especially when first
implemented, that may be very costly to correct. Defects or errors also could
result in downtime and our business could suffer significantly from potential
adverse customer reaction, negative publicity and harm to our reputation.

     WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY IDENTIFYING AND COMPETING FOR ACQUISITION
OPPORTUNITIES. Our business strategy includes the pursuit of strategic
acquisitions. From time to time we may engage in discussions with third parties
concerning potential acquisitions of niche expertise, business and proprietary
rights. In executing our acquisition strategy, we may be unable to identify
suitable companies as acquisition candidates, making it more difficult to
acquire suitable companies on favorable terms.

     PURSUING AND COMPLETING POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS COULD DIVERT MANAGEMENT
ATTENTION AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND MAY NOT PRODUCE THE DESIRED BUSINESS
RESULTS. If we pursue any acquisition, our management could spend a significant
amount of time and management and financial resources in the acquisition process
and to integrate the acquired business with our existing business. To pay for an
acquisition, we may use capital stock, cash, or a combination of both.
Alternatively, we may borrow money from a bank or other lender. If we use cash
or debt financing, our financial liquidity will be reduced. In addition, from an
accounting perspective, an acquisition may involve nonrecurring charges or
involve amortization of significant amounts of goodwill that could adversely
affect our results of operations.

     Despite the investment of these management and financial resources and
completion of due diligence with respect to these efforts, an acquisition may
not produce the revenue, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated, and
an acquired technology or proprietary right may not perform as expected for a
variety of reasons, including:

     -    difficulty in the assimilation of the operations, technologies,
          rights, products and personnel of the acquired company

     -    risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited prior
          experience



                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16

     -    expenses of any undisclosed or potential legal liabilities of the
          acquired company

     -    the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company

     WE MAY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS, WHICH
MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO MAKE RELIABLE PERIOD-TO-PERIOD COMPARISONS
AND CONTRIBUTES TO VOLATILITY IN THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK. Our
quarterly revenues, gross profits and results of operations have fluctuated
significantly in the past and we expect them to continue to fluctuate
significantly in the future. In addition, we believe that an important measure
of our business is the annualized contract value at the end of each period,
which also may fluctuate. Causes of such fluctuations have included and may
include, among other factors:

     -    changes in demand for our products

     -    the dollar value and timing of both new and renewal subscriptions

     -    competition (particularly price competition)

     -    increases in selling and marketing expenses, as well as other
          operating expenses

     -    technical difficulties or system downtime affecting our products on
          the Web generally

     -    economic conditions specific to the Web, as well as general economic
          conditions

     -    consolidation of our customers

     In addition, a substantial portion of our expenses, including most product
development and selling and marketing expenses, must be incurred in advance of
revenue generation. If our projected revenue does not meet our expectations,
then we are likely to experience an even larger shortfall in our operating
profit (loss) relative to our expectations.

     Any one or more of these factors could affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations, and this makes the prediction of results of
operations on a quarterly basis unreliable. As a result, we believe that
period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations and
annualized contract values are not necessarily meaningful and should not be
relied upon as an indication for future performance. Also, due to these and
other factors, it is possible that our quarterly results of operations
(including the annualized contract value) may be below expectations. If this
happens, the price of our common stock would likely decrease.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     OneSource is exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign
currency exchange rates and interest rates. However, our exposure to currency
exchange rate fluctuations has been and is expected to continue to be modest due
to the fact that the operations of our United Kingdom subsidiary are almost
exclusively conducted in local currency. Operating results are translated into
United States dollars and consolidated for reporting purposes. The impact of
currency exchange rate movements on intercompany transactions was immaterial for
the three months ended March 31, 2000.



                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17

     OneSource also owns financial instruments that are sensitive to market
risks as part of its investment portfolio. The investment portfolio is used to
preserve OneSource's capital until it is required to fund operations, including
the Company's marketing and product development activities. None of these
market-risk sensitive instruments are held for trading purposes. The investment
portfolio contains instruments that are subject to the risk of a decline in
interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or any other financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.   RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

     On May 19, 1999, we commenced an initial public offering of 3,636,000
shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, pursuant to a final
prospectus dated May 19, 1999. The prospectus was contained in OneSource's
registration statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC File No. 333-73263) on May 18, 1999. Of
the 3,636,000 shares of common stock offered, 2,500,000 shares were offered and
sold by OneSource and 1,136,000 shares were offered and sold by certain
stockholders of OneSource. The offering closed on May 24, 1999 upon the sale of
all 3,636,000 shares. The aggregate offering price of the offering to the public
was $43,632,000, with proceeds to OneSource and the selling stockholders, after
deduction of the underwriting discount, of $27,900,000 and $12,677,760,
respectively. The aggregate amount of expenses incurred by OneSource in
connection with the issuance and distribution of the shares of common stock sold
in the offering were approximately $3.9 million, including approximately $3.0
million in underwriting discounts and commissions and $0.9 million in other
offering expenses.

     The net proceeds to OneSource from the offering, after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses was
approximately $27.0 million.

     The net proceeds from the offering, less $6.8 million used to pay off
long-term debt and $7.6 million used to acquire Corporate Technology Information
Services, Inc., have been invested in interest bearing, investment grade
securities.
