  The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common
Stock present in person or represented by proxy and voting at the meeting is
required for the election of directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of
a majority of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and

it is exercised. It may be revoked by filing with the Secretary of the
Company, at the principal executive offices of the Company, 100 Brickstone
Square, First Floor, Andover, Massachusetts 01810, an instrument of revocation
or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. It may also be revoked by
attendance at the Meeting and an election given to the Secretary of the
Company to vote in person. If not revoked, the proxy will be voted at the
Meeting in accordance with the stockholder's instructions indicated on the
proxy card. If no instructions are indicated, the proxy will be voted (1) FOR
the election of all seven directors, (2) FOR the approval of the interested
party transaction between the Company and CMGI, Inc., (3) FOR the ratification

accordance with the judgment of the proxies as to any other matter that may be
properly brought before the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements
thereof.

Stockholder Proposals for the 2000 Annual Meeting

Proxy Statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting. In addition, such
proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8, as promulgated

considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and proxy card, such
stockholder must also give written notice to the Secretary of the Company at
its principal office in Andover, Massachusetts. The Company must receive such

Board and Committee Meetings

  In the second half of the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999, the Company
formed an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The primary function of
the Audit Committee is to review the results and scope of the audit and other
services provided by the Company's independent public auditors. The Audit
Committee did not meet during fiscal 1999. The members of the Audit Committee
are Messrs. Bennett, Goldman and Hajducky.

  The Company also formed a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
in the second half of fiscal year 1999. The primary functions of the
Compensation Committee are to review the salaries of executive officers and
other key officers (including compensation pursuant to stock options and other
employee benefit plans and arrangements), adoption and amendment of all stock
option and other employee benefit plans and arrangements and the engagement
of, terms of any employment agreements and arrangements with, and termination
of, all corporate officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee did not
meet during fiscal 1999. The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs.
Bennett, Goldman and Wetherell. See "Report of the Compensation Committee."

  In addition, in September 1999, the Company formed a Governance Committee.
The primary functions of the Governance Committee are to establish signing
authority and limitations for certain employees with respect to instruments
that create financial obligations of the Company, to consider and approve
financial commitments of the Company in excess of $500,000 and to provide
recommendations to the Board of Directors relating to the size and composition
of the Board and the overall effectiveness of the Board. The members of the
Governance Committee are Messrs. Evans, Hajducky and Rosen.

  The Company does not have a nominating committee or a committee serving a
similar function. Nominations are made by and through the full Board of
Directors.

  The Board of Directors held six meetings during fiscal year ended 1999, and
acted by unanimous written consent twice. The respective committees of the
Board of Directors did not meet during fiscal year ended 1999. Each director
attended at least 80% of the meetings of the Board of Directors during 1999.

Compensation of Directors

  Directors who are not employees of the Company are entitled to participate
in the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "1999
Directors' Plan") which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. Under the terms of the 1999 Directors' Plan, directors who
are not employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and not
affiliates of an institutional investor that owns shares of the Company's
Common Stock are eligible to receive non-statutory options to purchase shares
of the Company's Common Stock. Any director who becomes such an employee shall
cease to be eligible for any further option grants under the 1999 Directors'
Plan while such an employee, but shall not, by reason of becoming such an
employee, cease to be eligible to retain options previously granted under the
1999 Directors' Plan. All options granted under the 1999 Directors' Plan must
have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock on the date of grant.

  As of October 1, 1999, the Company had granted Messrs. Evans and Rosen each
an option to purchase 50,000 shares of its Common Stock, to vest over a four-
year period, at an exercise price of $11.00 per share under the 1999
Directors' Plan. Under the Company's 1995 Equity Incentive Plan, Mr. Goldman
was granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, vesting over a four-year period, at an exercise price of $0.24 per
share and Mr. Bennett was granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of
Common Stock, vesting over a four-year period, at an exercise price of $4.19
per share.

  In general, the Company does not compensate directors for service as
directors but reimburses non-employee directors for reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors
and committees thereof. Pursuant to the terms of a consulting, invention and
non-disclosure agreement with the Company, Mr. Evans received $26,400 for
programming and other technical services rendered to the Company during the
fiscal year ended July 31, 1999.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

  Messrs. Bennett, Goldman and Wetherell, all non-employee directors,
currently constitute the Company's Compensation Committee. No executive
officer of the Company serves as a member of the Board of Directors or
compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers
serving as a member of the Company's Board of Directors or Compensation
Committee.

Section16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

  Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors,
executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common
Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Based solely on its review of
copies of reports filed by individuals required to make filings ("Reporting
Persons") pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or written
representations from certain Reporting Persons, the Company believes that all
such reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act for
the 1999 fiscal year were timely filed with the exception of the initial Form
3s for all executive officers and directors. The Company's registration
statement was declared effective after the close of business on July 19, 1999.
The Form 3s were filed on July 20, 1999, the earliest possible date after the
effective date.

    of the stock will appreciate at the stated rate, compounded annually, from
    the date of grant until the end of the 5-year term. These values are
    calculated based on rules promulgated by the SEC and do not reflect the
    Company's estimate or projection of future stock prices. Actual gains, if
    any, on stock option exercises will be dependent upon the future
    performance of the price of the Company's Common Stock, which will benefit
    all stockholders proportionately.

(4) Option vests as to 25% of the shares after the first year and the
    remaining 75% vesting in equal monthly installments for the next 36 months

(5) The exercise price represents the fair market value of Common Stock on the

    was $34.563 for Engage and $92.188 for CMGI. In addition, these values
    have not and may never be realized. Actual gains, if any, on exercise will
    depend on the value of the Common Stock and CMGI's common stock on the
    date of sale of any shares acquired upon exercise.

Report of the Compensation Committee

  The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors is
responsible for establishing compensation policies with respect to the
Company's executive officers. The objectives of the Company's executive
compensation program are to establish compensation levels designed to enable
the Company to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to
the long-term success of the Company so as to enhance stockholder value. The
Compensation Committee makes decisions each year regarding executive
compensation, including annual base salaries, bonus awards and stock option
grants. Stock option grants are key components of the executive compensation
program and are intended to provide executives with an equity interest in the
Company so as to link a meaningful portion of the compensation of the
Company's executives with the performance of the Company's Common Stock. This
report is submitted by the Compensation Committee and addresses the
compensation policies for fiscal 1999 as they affected Mr. Schaut, in his
capacity as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and the
Named Executive Officers.

  Compensation Philosophy. The Company's executive compensation philosophy is
based on the belief that competitive compensation is essential to attract,
motivate and retain highly qualified and industrious employees. The Company's
policy is to provide total compensation that is competitive for comparable
work and comparable corporate performance. The compensation program includes
both motivational and retention-related compensation components. Bonuses are
included to encourage effective performance relative to current plans and
objectives. Stock options are included to help retain productive people and to
more closely align their interests with those of stockholders.

                                      10
<PAGE>

  In executing its compensation policy, the Company seeks to relate
compensation with the Company's financial performance and business objectives,
reward high levels of individual performance and tie a significant portion of
total executive compensation to both the annual and long-term performance of
the Company. While compensation survey data are useful guides for comparative
purposes, the Company believes that a successful compensation program also
requires the application of judgment and subjective determinations of
individual performance, and to that extent the Compensation Committee applies
judgment in reconciling the program's objectives with the realities of
retaining valued employees.

  Executive Compensation Program. Annual compensation for the Company's
executives consists of three principal elements: base salary, cash bonus and
stock option grants.

  Base Salary and Cash Bonus. In setting the annual base salaries for the
Company's executives, the Compensation Committee reviews the aggregate salary
and bonus compensation for individuals in comparable positions with other
companies, including competitors of the Company, and adjusts such amounts to
reflect individual performance. Many of these companies are Internet or
software companies. The Company also regularly compares the salary levels of
its executive officers with other leading companies through reviews of survey
and proxy statement data.

  Increases in annual base salary are based on a review and evaluation of the
performance of the department or activity for which the executive has
responsibility, the impact of that department or activity on the Company and
the skills and experience required for the job, coupled with a comparison of
these elements with similar elements for other executives both inside and
outside the Company.

  Cash bonuses are tied directly to the Company's achievement of its goals and
objectives and the contribution of the executive to such achievements.

  Equity Ownership. Executive officer compensation also includes long-term
incentives afforded by options to purchase shares of Common Stock. The
purposes of the Company's stock ownership program are (i) to highlight and
reinforce the mutuality of long-term interests between employees and the
stockholders and (ii) to assist in the attraction and retention of key
executives, managers and individual contributors who are essential to the
Company's growth and development.

  The Company's stock programs include long vesting periods to optimize the
retention value of these options and to orient the Company's executive
officers to longer term success. Generally, stock options vest as follows: 25%
upon the first anniversary of the date of grant and approximately 2.08% each
month thereafter over three years, and, if employees leave the Company before
these vesting periods, they forfeit the unvested portions of these awards.

  The number of shares of Common Stock subject to stock option grants is
generally intended to reflect the significance of the executive's current and
anticipated contributions to the Company. The exercise price of options
granted by the Company has been determined at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee, although it has generally been set at 100% of the fair
market value per share on the date of grant. The value realizable from
exercisable options is dependent upon the extent to which the Company's
performance is reflected in the price of the Company's Common Stock at any
particular point in time. However, the decision as to whether such value will
be realized through the exercise of an option in any particular year is
primarily determined by each individual within the limits of the vesting
schedule and not by the Compensation Committee.

  Chief Executive Officer Compensation. The Compensation Committee has set Mr.
Schaut's total annual compensation, including compensation derived from the
Company's cash bonus and stock option programs, at a level it believes to be
competitive with the chief executive officers of similarly capitalized
Internet and software companies. Mr. Schaut, in his capacity as Chief
Executive Officer and President, is eligible to participate in the same
executive compensation program available to the Company's other senior
executives.

                                      11
<PAGE>

  During fiscal 1999, Mr. Schaut's annual base salary was increased $90,000,
from $150,000 to $240,000. For fiscal 1999, Mr. Schaut was also awarded
quarterly bonuses totalling $60,000 and was granted an option for 400,000
Engage stock options, which compensation was based, in part, upon attainment
of the Company's revenue objectives and completion of the Company's initial
public offering of its Common Stock.

  Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally disallows a
tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million paid to its
chief executive officer and its four other most highly compensated executive
officers. However, qualifying performance-based compensation will not be
subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Company
currently intends to structure its stock option grants in a manner that
complies prospectively with these performance-based requirements.

Certain Transactions

  The Company was incorporated in July 1995 as a wholly owned subsidiary of
CMGI. CMGI is currently a majority stockholder of the Company. Accordingly,
CMGI has the power to elect the Company's entire Board of Directors and to
approve or disapprove any corporate transactions or other matters submitted to
the Company's stockholders for approval, including the approval of mergers or
other significant corporate transactions.

  In fiscal 1999, the Company issued a secured convertible demand note to CMGI
in exchange for the cancellation of all intercompany debt incurred by the
Company to CMGI prior to February 1, 1999. This note provides that CMGI may
elect to convert amounts payable under the note into Series C convertible
preferred stock at any time. The amount of each borrowing represented by the
note is convertible into shares of Series C convertible preferred stock at the
fair market value of such shares as of the end of the fiscal quarter in which
the borrowing was made. In April 1999, the Company borrowed $22,086,307 from
CMGI in connection with the acquisition of I/PRO. Such borrowings are
convertible into Series C convertible preferred stock at a common equivalent
price of $5.06 per share. Additional intercompany debt incurred after February
1, 1999 accrues interest at a rate of 7% per year compounded monthly until the
day CMGI elects to convert the debt into shares of Series C convertible
preferred stock. All notes held by CMGI were converted into Series C
convertible preferred stock in May 1999. Each share of Series C convertible
preferred stock converted into twenty shares of Common Stock upon the
completion of the Company's initial public offering.

  The Company and CMGI entered into a facilities and administrative support
agreement under which CMGI continues to make available space at its
headquarters in Andover, Massachusetts and provides various services to the
Company, including tax and administrative, computer and information systems,
telecommunications and utilities. Under this agreement, CMGI has also agreed
to make available to the Company at least 28,000 square feet of space at its
headquarters facilities, subject to termination upon at least 12 months'
notice by CMGI. The fees payable by the Company for the availability of space
and other services are typically determined through an allocation of CMGI's
costs based upon the proportion of the Company's employee headcount to the
total headcount of CMGI and other CMGI-related companies located in the same
facility or using the same services. In fiscal 1999, the Company paid CMGI
approximately $813,000 for services similar to those provided under the
administrative support agreement.

  The Company and CMGI also entered into a tax allocation agreement to
allocate responsibilities, liabilities and benefits relating to taxes. The
Company is required to pay its share of income taxes shown as due on any

                                      12
<PAGE>

consolidated, combined, or unitary tax returns filed by CMGI for tax periods
ending on or before or including the date on which date the Company will no
longer be a member of CMGI's group for federal, state, or local tax purposes,
as the case may be. CMGI indemnifies the Company against liability for all
taxes in respect of consolidated, combined, or unitary tax returns for such
period. Accordingly, any redetermined tax liabilities for such periods will be
the responsibility of CMGI, and any refunds or credits of taxes attributable
to the Company or its subsidiaries in respect of consolidated, combined, or
unitary tax returns for such periods will be for the account of CMGI. The
Company is responsible for filing any separate tax returns for any taxable
period and will be responsible for any tax liabilities (and entitled to any
refunds or credits of taxes) in respect of such returns. The Company will
indemnify CMGI against liability for such taxes.

  Neither CMGI nor the Company have any obligation to make any payment to the
other party for the use of such other party's tax attributes such as net
operating losses. However, if one party realizes a windfall tax benefit
because of an adjustment to items on the other party's tax return, the party
that realizes the windfall tax benefit will be required to pay to the other
party the actual incremental tax savings it has realized. For example, if an
expense deducted by CMGI for a period prior to the closing date were
disallowed and required to be capitalized by the Company for a period after
the closing date, thereby generating future depreciation deductions to the
Company, the Company would be required to pay to CMGI any incremental tax
savings as a result of such depreciation deductions when such tax savings are
actually realized by the Company.

  Each of the Company and CMGI has control of any audit, appeal, litigation or
settlement of any issue raised with respect to a tax return for which it has
filing responsibility. Payments of claims under the agreement must be made
within 30 days of the date that a written demand for the claim is delivered.
Interest accrues on payments that are not made within 10 days of the final due
date at the rate applicable to under payments of the applicable tax. Any
dispute concerning the calculation or basis of determination of any payment
provided under the tax allocation agreement will be resolved by a law firm or
"big five" accounting firm selected and paid for jointly by the parties.

  The Company and CMGI have entered into an investor rights agreement under
which the Company granted CMGI registration rights and rights to purchase
shares to maintain its majority ownership. Under this agreement, CMGI and its
assignees have the right to demand, on up to seven occasions, that the Company
register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the sale of all or part
of their shares of the Company's Common Stock. CMGI and its assignees are also
entitled to include shares of the Company's Common Stock in a registered
offering of securities by the Company for its own account, subject to the
underwriters' right to reduce the number of included shares. The Company will
pay all costs associated with such registration of shares pursuant to this
agreement, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and various other
expenses. Also under this agreement, until such time as CMGI, or any permitted
transferee, owns less than a majority of voting power of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Company, the Company will permit CMGI, or the
transferee, to purchase a portion in any shares that it may in the future
issue so that CMGI or the transferee may maintain its majority ownership
position. Any such purchases will be at the same price as is paid by third
parties for the shares. The right is transferable by CMGI to any party that
acquires directly from CMGI shares of common stock representing at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

  The Company also outsources its data center operations for Engage Knowledge
and its AdBureau advertising management service to NaviSite, a CMGI affiliate.
For Engage Knowledge, the Company leases computer equipment and space for
equipment from NaviSite. The Company pays NaviSite fees based on the amount of
space and amount of telecommunications services used by NaviSite to support
Engage Knowledge. For AdBureau, NaviSite provides comprehensive operational
and facilities support. The Company pays NaviSite a percentage of AdBureau
revenue. The Company also leases office computer equipment from NaviSite. The
Company expects to continue to outsource its data center operations to
NaviSite and to lease computer equipment and space for such equipment from
NaviSite. The Company paid a total of approximately $2,122,000 to NaviSite for
these services in fiscal 1999.

                                      13
<PAGE>

  The Company sells its products and services to customers affiliated with
CMGI. In fiscal 1999, the Company's revenue from sales to these affiliated
companies totalled approximately $1,938,000.

  Mr. Goldman serves as a director of CMGI and Navisite. Mr. Hajducky serves
as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of CMGI and as a director of
Navisite. Mr. Wetherell serves as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer, President and Secretary of CMGI and as Chairman of the Board of
Navisite.

Employment Agreements

  The Company is not a party to employment agreements with any of the Named
Executive Officers.

Stockholder Return Performance Presentation

  Due to the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock being
declared effective less than thirty days prior to the end of the Company's
1999 fiscal year, no stock performance graph is included in this Proxy
Statement.

                 APPROVAL OF THE INTERESTED PARTY TRANSACTION

  The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Contribution (the "Merger Agreement"), dated September 23, 1999, between the
Company, CMGI, Inc., the majority stockholder of the Company ("CMGI"), AK
Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMGI ("Merger Sub"),
AdKnowledge Inc. ("AdKnowledge") and each of Steve Findley, John Mracek and
Kevin Wandryk, as the shareholder representative. The Merger Agreement
provides for a number of transactions that result in AdKnowledge becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, including the Company's issuance of up
to an estimated maximum of 6,817,379 shares of its Common Stock to
stockholders of AdKnowledge.

  At the time such Common Stock is issued, CMGI will be one of the
stockholders of AdKnowledge and so, accordingly, will receive shares of Common
Stock. Because CMGI is a substantial stockholder of Engage, the issuance of
Common Stock to CMGI is a transaction which requires the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of Common Stock present in person or represented by
proxy and voting at the Meeting under applicable rules of the Nasdaq National
Market. The terms of the Merger Agreement and the issuance of the Common Stock
and certain other matters are described below.

Description of the Parties

  The Company. The Company provides products and services that enable
customers to create and use profiles of individual Web visitors to target
advertisements, content and e-commerce offerings. An Engage profile is an
anonymous collection of information about an individual Web user's consumer
interests, demographic characteristics and geographic location. These profiles
are developed through a combination of a user's browsing behavior on
participating sites on the Internet and information the user has voluntarily
declared at those sites, such as information provided on an online
registration form. Each anonymous profile omits information that would permit
the personal identification of the user, such as name, address and e-mail
address. Each profile

                                      14
<PAGE>

contains numerical scores that rank a Web user's preference level in hundreds
of standard categories and subcategories, such as books, business, computers,
fashion, sports and travel. Categories can be further customized to meet the
needs of a specific customer or market. These profiles are continuously
updated and refined based on a visitor's browsing behavior across multiple Web
sites, including pages selected by the user, the duration of the user's visits
and the responses of the user to specific advertisements and promotions.

                             The Merger Agreement

General

  The Merger Agreement contemplates the following transactions:

    Merger. First, a merger of Merger Sub with AdKnowledge (the "Merger"),
  with AdKnowledge being the surviving corporation ("New AdKnowledge"). In
  the Merger, holders of outstanding AdKnowledge preferred stock ("Existing
  AdKnowledge Preferred Shares") will receive an aggregate of approximately
  $170,000,000 of the common stock of CMGI (the "Merger Shares") and newly-
  issued shares of the common stock of New AdKnowledge ("New AdKnowledge
  Common Shares") representing approximately 12% of the outstanding New
  AdKnowledge Common Shares, and holders of outstanding AdKnowledge common
  stock ("Existing AdKnowledge Common Shares") will receive New AdKnowledge
  Common Shares. Upon completion of the Merger, CMGI will own the remaining
  approximately 88% of the outstanding New AdKnowledge Common Shares on a
  fully-diluted basis.

    Contribution. Second, the stockholders of New AdKnowledge (including
  CMGI) will contribute (the "Contribution") their New AdKnowledge Common
  Shares to the Company in exchange for approximately $193,000,000 of Common
  Stock (the "Contribution Shares"). The value of the Contribution Shares
  being

                                      15
<PAGE>

  delivered is based upon $31.45, the average of the last reported sales
  prices of the Contribution Shares over the 45 consecutive trading days
  ending on September 21, 1999, although this value may be adjusted upward by
  up to 10% or downward by up to 10% based upon the average of the last
  reported sales prices of such stock over the 45 consecutive trading days
  ending two trading days prior to the effective time of the Merger ("Merger
  Effective Time"). The issuance of the Contribution Shares to CMGI requires
  the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Common Stock present
  in person or represented by proxy and voting at the Meeting.

    Short-Form Merger. Third, in the event that less than all of the
  outstanding New AdKnowledge Common Shares are surrendered to the Company in
  the Contribution, the Company will consummate a California Short-Form
  Merger between New AdKnowledge and a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the
  Company (the "Short-Form Merger"). In the Short-Form Merger, the Company's
  subsidiary will merge with New AdKnowledge, with New AdKnowledge being the
  surviving corporation. Any remaining holders of New AdKnowledge Common
  Shares will receive Contribution Shares in the Short-Form Merger.

  The Merger, the Contribution and the Short-Form Merger are sometimes
collectively referred to herein as the "Transactions."

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

  The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and
covenants of the Company, CMGI, Merger Sub and AdKnowledge.

The Contribution

  Treatment of New AdKnowledge Common Shares and Determination of Conversion
Ratio. Holders of New AdKnowledge Common Shares (including CMGI) who
contribute such shares to the Company will receive Contribution Shares equal
to the number of New AdKnowledge Common Shares contributed by such holder
multiplied by the Engage Conversion Ratio (as defined below).

    "Engage Conversion Ratio" is the result obtained by dividing (A) the
  quotient of (i) $193,000,000 divided by (ii) the Engage Lock-In Value (as
  defined below) by (B) the number of Existing AdKnowledge Common Shares
  outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (assuming the
  conversion into Existing AdKnowledge Common Shares of all outstanding
  Existing AdKnowledge Preferred Shares and the exercise of all options and
  warrants).

    The "Engage Lock-In Value" will be determined as follows:

      (a) In the event that the average of the last reported sale prices
    per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market over the
    forty-five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is
    two trading days prior to the Merger Effective Time (the "Engage Final
    Value") is equal to or less than $28.31, then the Engage Lock-In Value
    will be $28.31. ($28.31 is equal to 90% of $31.45, the average of the
    last reported sale prices per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
    National Market over the forty-five consecutive trading days ending on
    September 21, 1999 (the "Engage Initial Value").)

      (b) In the event that the Engage Final Value is equal to or greater
    than $34.60, the Engage Lock-In Value will be $34.60.

      (c) In the event that the Engage Final Value is greater than $28.31
    and less than $34.60, the Engage Lock-In Value will be the Engage Final
    Value.

  The Engage Conversion Ratio will be subject to adjustment in the event of
any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event
affecting the Common Stock between the beginning of the forty-five day period
used to determine the Engage Initial Value and the closing of the
Contribution. Based upon an Engage Initial Value of $31.45, approximately
5,578,034 to 6,817,379 shares of Common Stock will be issued in the
Contribution and the Short-Form Merger.


                                      16
<PAGE>

The Short-Form Merger

  In the event that not all of the New AdKnowledge Common Shares are
surrendered to the Company in the Contribution, the Company will form a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and will contribute New AdKnowledge
Common Shares received by the Company in the Contribution to the Merger
subsidiary. The Merger subsidiary will then merge with New AdKnowledge and the
separate corporate existence of the Company's merger subsidiary will cease and
New AdKnowledge will continue as the surviving corporation. Each New
AdKnowledge Common Share which is not surrendered in the Contribution (other
than dissenting shares) will be converted in the Short-Form Merger into
Contribution Shares equal to the number of New AdKnowledge Common Shares
multiplied by the Engage Conversion Ratio.

Treatment of New AdKnowledge Stock Options

  The Company may either assume the New AdKnowledge stock option plans (as
assumed from AdKnowledge in the Merger), or substitute the Company's options
for the New AdKnowledge options in its discretion. Each New AdKnowledge option
will be converted into a similar stock option to acquire that number of
Contribution Shares equal to the number of New AdKnowledge Common Shares for
which it is exercisable multiplied by the Engage Conversion Ratio, with an
exercise price equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price
of the New AdKnowledge option by the Engage Conversion Ratio, rounded down to
the nearest whole cent. The Company's options will be fully exercisable as of
the closing of the Contribution and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
thereof will be subject to a right of repurchase by the Company at the
exercise price thereof which repurchase right shall lapse on the same schedule
as provided in the original AdKnowledge options. If the Company's options are
substituted for outstanding New AdKnowledge options, Company options will be
governed by the terms of the Company's stock option plans, provided, that such
Company options shall preserve substantially all the rights and benefits
contained in such New AdKnowledge options (except that the Company options
shall have a term of five years), and if the Company assumes the New
AdKnowledge stock option plans, the resulting Company options will be governed
by the terms of the assumed New AdKnowledge plans.

Conditions to Obligations to Effect the Contribution

  The respective obligations of each party to effect the Contribution are
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (a) the
issuance of Contribution Shares to CMGI shall have been approved by the
stockholders of the Company; (b) the Merger shall have been consummated; (c)
the California Department of Corporations shall have issued a permit
qualifying the Contribution Shares pursuant to the California General
Corporation Law, which permit was issued on November 16, 1999, and there shall
not be in effect any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the permit or
any proceedings seeking such a stop order; and (d) the Contribution Shares
shall have been authorized for listing on the Nasdaq National Market.

Amendment and Waiver

  Generally, the board of directors of the Company, CMGI and AdKnowledge may
amend the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the closing of the
Contribution. However, after the shareholders of AdKnowledge approve the
Merger, any amendment will be restricted by the California General Corporation
Law. Amendments must be in writing and signed by all parties.

Accounting Treatment

  The Transactions will be accounted for as a purchase of a business, which
means that the assets and liabilities of AdKnowledge, including intangible
assets, will be recorded at their fair value and the results of operations of
AdKnowledge will be included in the Company's results from the date of
acquisition.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

  The following discussion summarizes the material federal income tax
consequences relevant to the Company and its stockholders in connection with
the contribution of New AdKnowledge Common Shares to the Company for the
Contribution Shares pursuant to the Contribution and the Short-Form Merger, if
necessary. (For the purposes of this discussion, the description of the income
tax considerations applicable to the Contribution shall be deemed to include
the income tax considerations applicable to the Short-Form Merger.) This
discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the Code, existing and
proposed Treasury Regulations thereunder, and current administrative rulings
and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such change,
which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences to the
Company and its stockholders as described herein. The Company is not
requesting and will not request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service in
connection with the Contribution. In addition, the Company has not requested
an opinion of counsel regarding the tax consequences of the Contribution.

  The Company should not recognize gain or loss with respect to the
contribution by the New AdKnowledge stockholders of their New AdKnowledge
Common Shares to the Company in exchange for the Contribution Shares. There
are no tax consequences to the Company's stockholders with respect to the
Contribution.

                         Reasons for the Transactions

The Company

  The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously determined that the
Contribution and the Short-Form Merger (if necessary) are fair to, and in the
best interest, of the Company and its stockholders. In making this
determination, the directors affiliated with CMGI abstained from voting.

  These decisions were based on several potential benefits of the Transactions
that the Board of Directors of the Company believe will contribute to the
success of the Company. These potential benefits include: (a) adding and
integrating AdKnowledge to the Company to offer Internet advertisers a more
complete spectrum of Internet advertising solutions; (b) enhancing the
functionality and performance of the Internet advertising products offered by
the Company with AdKnowledge's technology; (c) increasing the Company's
customer base to include advertisers and advertising agencies; (d)
accelerating the Company's growth rate; and (e) potentially shortening the
period of operating at a loss.

  The Board of Directors of the Company reviewed a number of factors in
evaluating the Transactions, including, but not limited to, the following: (a)
historical information concerning the Company's and AdKnowledge's respective
business focus, financial performance and condition, operations, technology
and management; (b) management's view of the financial condition, results of
operations and businesses of the Company and AdKnowledge before and after
giving effect to the Transactions and the Board of Director's determination of
the Transactions' effect on stockholder values; (c) current financial market
conditions and historical stock market prices, volatility and trading
information; (d) the consideration New AdKnowledge stockholders will receive
in the Transactions in light of comparable transactions; (e) the belief that
the terms of the Merger Agreement are reasonable; (f) the impact of the
Transactions on customers and employees; (g) results of the due diligence
investigation of AdKnowledge conducted by the Company's management,
accountants and counsel; (h) the expectation that the Transactions will be
accounted for as a purchase; and (i) review of the valuations of comparable
companies.

  The Board of Directors of the Company also identified and considered a
number of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the
Transactions including the following: (a) the risk that the potential benefits
of the Transactions may not be realized; (b) the possibility that the
Transactions may not be consummated, even if approved by AdKnowledge's
shareholders; and (c) other applicable risks.

  The Board of Directors concluded, however, that, on balance, the potential
benefits of the Transactions to the Company and its stockholders outweighed
the associated risks. The discussion of the information and factors considered
by the Board of Directors of the Company is not intended to be exhaustive. In
view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of
the Transactions, the Board of Directors did not find it practicable to, and
did not quantify or otherwise assign relative weight to, the specific factors
considered in reaching its determination.

AdKnowledge

  AdKnowledge's board of directors unanimously concluded that the Transactions
are fair to, and in the best interest of, AdKnowledge and its shareholders.

  The decision by AdKnowledge's board of directors to approve the Transactions
was based on several potential benefits of the Transactions to AdKnowledge,
including: (a) the Transactions would provide AdKnowledge shareholders with an
equity interest in CMGI and the Company that provides shareholders of
AdKnowledge with liquidity for their investment; (b) the Transactions would
provide AdKnowledge with immediate access to additional financial resources to
accelerate its growth, as well as access to the public markets for further
capital if needed; (c) the possible strategic growth opportunities resulting
from the Transactions, (d) the belief that AdKnowledge business complements
the operations of CMGI and the Company, as well as the respective businesses
and financial conditions of the two companies; and (e) accelerating
AdKnowledge's growth rate.

  The decision of AdKnowledge's board of directors to approve the Transactions
and the Merger Agreement resulted from the board's careful consideration of a
range of strategic alternatives, including the pursuit of a long-term
independent business strategy for AdKnowledge. AdKnowledge's board of
directors considered a number of factors in evaluating the Transactions,
including the following: (a) identifying and securing the strategic
alternative that would provide the greatest value to AdKnowledge shareholders;
(b) the relative volatility of the market value of the Common Stock and CMGI's
common stock; (c) the relative likelihood of completing the Transactions; (d)
the relative risks to AdKnowledge's business if the Transactions are not
completed; (e) the results of due diligence reviews conducted by AdKnowledge's
management, legal advisors and financial advisors examining CMGI's and the
Company's business, operations, technology and competitive position and
possible expansion opportunities for New AdKnowledge; (f) review of the
current and prospective business environment in which AdKnowledge operates,
the competitive environment for ad management and delivery services for the
Internet; and (g) the recent trend towards consolidation among its
competitors.

  AdKnowledge's board of directors also believes the Transactions will provide
AdKnowledge the opportunity to increase the amount of services provided by
AdKnowledge to companies owned or controlled by CMGI and the Company and other
companies with which CMGI and the Company do business. AdKnowledge's board of
directors believes that through these closer relationships with the Company
and potential relationships with CMGI's affiliates and partners in the U.S.
and abroad, AdKnowledge may be able to significantly increase its ad serving
volumes and accelerate and enhance its new product offerings.

  AdKnowledge's board of directors also considered a number of potentially
negative factors in its deliberations concerning the Transactions, including:
(a) the risk that the Transactions might not be consummated; (b) the potential
loss of revenues and business opportunities for AdKnowledge as a result of
confusion in the marketplace after the announcement of the Transactions, or
possible adverse reactions by certain existing or prospective AdKnowledge
customers who compete with CMGI, the Company or their affiliates, and the
possible exploitation of such issues by AdKnowledge's and CMGI's and the
Company's competitors; (c) the possibility of management disruption associated
with the Transactions and integrating the operations of the companies, as well
as the risk that key management and technical personnel might leave New
AdKnowledge after the Transactions are completed; (d) the risk that the
benefits sought to be achieved by the Transactions will not be realized; and
(e) other applicable risks.

  AdKnowledge's board of directors concluded, however, that, on the balance,
the potential benefits to AdKnowledge and its shareholders of the Transactions
outweighed the risks associated with the Transactions.

  The discussion of the information and factors considered by AdKnowledge's
board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive. In view of the variety of
factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Transactions,
AdKnowledge's board of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not
quantify or otherwise assign relative weight to, the specific factors
considered in reaching its determination.

                       Comparison of Stockholder Rights

  The Contribution will not change the existing rights of the Company's
stockholders; however some dilution will result.

 * Percentage is less than 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of
   Common Stock.
(1)  Beneficial ownership of Common Stock is determined in accordance with the
     rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and includes shares for
     which the holder has sole or shared voting or investment power. Shares of
     Common Stock subject to options currently exercisable or which become
     exercisable on or before November 29, 1999 are deemed to be beneficially
     owned and outstanding by the person holding such options and are included
     for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding
     such options, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing
     the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion of any shares
     of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned does not constitute admission
     of beneficial ownership of those shares.
(2)  Percentage ownership is based on 55,525,248 shares which will be issued
     and outstanding after the issuance of the Contribution Shares pursuant to
     the Merger Agreement, plus any shares subject to issuance upon exercise
     of options held by the person or entity in question that were exercisable
     on or exercisable within 60 days after October 1, 1999.
(3)  Includes 49,999 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
     outstanding stock options granted under the Company's 1995 Equity
     Incentive Plan.
(4)  Consists of shares of Common Stock owned by CMGI. Mr. Wetherell serves as
     Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, Chief Executive Officer
     and Secretary of CMGI and Mr. Hajducky serves as Chief Financial Officer
     and Treasurer of CMGI, and both Messrs. Wetherall and Hajducky disclaim
     beneficial ownership of all 44,625,835 shares of Common Stock.
(5)  Consists of 12,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
     outstanding stock options granted under the Company's 1995 Equity
     Incentive Plan.
(6)  Includes 41,666 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
     outstanding stock options granted under the Company's 1995 Equity
     Incentive Plan.

  As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has no commitments to
issue any capital stock to any of the persons listed above.

Votes Required

  The Company. Pursuant to the NASD Marketplace Rules, the proposed issuance
of Contribution Shares requires stockholder approval because a substantial
stockholder of the Company, CMGI, will have a 5% or greater interest in
AdKnowledge immediately prior to the Contribution closing. The affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of Common Stock present in person or
represented by proxy and voting at the Meeting is required to approve such
issuance. CMGI, which beneficially owns approximately 79% of the outstanding
voting power of the Company, has already agreed to contribute its New
AdKnowledge Common Shares to the Company in the Contribution and to vote in
favor of the issuance of the Contribution Shares to CMGI as a result of such
contribution.

  AdKnowledge. Approval of the Contribution requires the approval of a
majority of the outstanding New AdKnowledge Common Shares. The directors,
officers, founders and holders of 5% or more of the outstanding voting power
of the Existing AdKnowledge Common Shares and Existing AdKnowledge Preferred
Shares who will collectively beneficially own approximately 9% of the New
AdKnowledge Common Shares upon the consummation of the Merger have already
executed shareholder support agreements agreeing to vote in favor of the
Contribution. In addition, CMGI, which will beneficially own approximately 88%
of the New AdKnowledge Common Shares upon the consummation of the Merger, has
agreed to vote in favor of the Contribution.

Board Approvals

  The respective boards of directors of the Company, CMGI and AdKnowledge have
voted to approve the Contribution.

Regulatory Approvals

  Hart-Scott-Rodino. Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976, as amended, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
the Transactions may not be consummated until notifications have been
furnished to the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice and specified waiting period requirements have been
satisfied. The Company, CMGI and AdKnowledge filed a premerger notification
and report form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division on October 29, 1999

Overview

  AdKnowledge is a leading independent provider of comprehensive Internet
advertising management and analysis services for marketers and advertising
agencies. AdKnowledge began operations on July 10, 1996 and spent the first
nine months of its operations developing its first product, ClickWise, a
software package designed to enable Web sites to manage their advertising
inventory. In early 1997, AdKnowledge began licensing its ClickWise product,
and its consolidated revenues during 1997 were generated exclusively from
software licenses and service and support contracts.

  Shift in Focus to the Buyers of Web Advertising. On December 31, 1997,
AdKnowledge acquired Focalink Communications, Inc. This acquisition enabled
AdKnowledge to accomplish a strategic objective of offering Internet-
accessible products and services to the buyers of Web advertising. Following
the acquisition of Focalink, AdKnowledge was able to offer agencies and
marketers centralized, outsourced ad serving and a media planning module.
AdKnowledge began generating revenues from these products in January 1998. In
the second half of 1998, AdKnowledge developed campaign management and basic
reporting modules which, along with Focalink's original service offerings,
comprise the AdKnowledge System.

  In the first half of 1998, AdKnowledge discontinued its sell-side ClickWise
product and service offering and began to focus exclusively on products and
services for the buyers of Web advertising. In June 1998, AdKnowledge
transferred its ClickWise client base to DoubleClick, an Internet advertising
management company, in exchange for royalties. AdKnowledge does not expect to
receive significant future revenues from this arrangement.

  Revenue Model. Since January 1, 1998, substantially all of AdKnowledge's
revenues have been generated from ad delivery and, to a lesser extent,
associated management services. Fees for ad delivery are generally charged on
a cost-per-thousand ads served basis, commonly referred to as "CPM." In
accordance with market practice, clients with higher expected ad volumes are
generally charged a lower ad serving rate.

                                      25
<PAGE>

  In addition to billings for ad delivery, AdKnowledge charges fees for use of
its planning, campaign management and reporting modules provided through the
AdKnowledge System. Fees for use of these modules are negotiated with each
individual client and generally include monthly usage fees over the term of
the contract. Although several of AdKnowledge's clients have contracts with
terms ranging from one to three months or over a single advertising campaign,
contracts with the majority of its new clients have a term of 12 months.
AdKnowledge expects to increase the number of clients with subscription-based,
12-month contracts in the future.

  Trends in Revenues. AdKnowledge's ad delivery revenues generally have
increased in every quarter, and it expects ad delivery revenues to continue to
increase in future periods due to continued growth in the volume of ads it
serves. In 1998 and the first nine months of 1999, AdKnowledge delivered 2.9
billion, and 7.4 billion ads and expects this trend to continue. AdKnowledge
expects continued declines in the rates it charges for ad delivery due to
competitive pressure on standard ad delivery rates and an expected increase in
the number of its high volume clients. AdKnowledge periodically reviews its
pricing model in response to market trends and conditions.

  In the future, AdKnowledge expects that the primary driver of its revenue
growth and, ultimately, the primary determinant of its ability to achieve and
maintain profitability, will be AdKnowledge eAnalytics, a service offering
that incorporates advanced campaign management and analysis functionality. In
future periods, AdKnowledge expects that an increasing portion of its revenues
will be attributable to AdKnowledge eAnalytics. The AdKnowledge eAnalytics
services have not yet generated significant revenues, and there can be no
assurances as to when or whether they will do so.

  AdKnowledge is currently introducing AdKnowledge eAnalytics to the market
and is testing its pricing through preliminary commercial sales to its
clients. AdKnowledge expects that fees for AdKnowledge eAnalytics products
will be based on the number and complexity of individual reports or groups of
reports generated for its clients and on the corresponding volume of data
analyzed. AdKnowledge expects that AdKnowledge eAnalytics services will be
priced either on a per-report basis or as a premium to its current CPM-based
pricing. In the future, it may also earn project-based fees for custom data
mining and data integration services.

Relationship Between Revenues and Associated Costs

  Cost of revenues in 1997 reflected customer service and support activities
in connection with the ClickWise product. Since January 1, 1998, cost of
revenues has consisted primarily of: (a) salaries and personnel costs
associated with the maintenance of AdKnowledge's operational infrastructure
and customer service and support activities; (b) fees paid to Internet hosting
service providers; and (c) depreciation expense associated with ad delivery
and reporting equipment.

  Exclusive of Internet hosting services, which comprised 23% of total cost of
revenues in the first nine months of 1999, AdKnowledge believes that it is
capable of accommodating greater ad volumes than it serves today without a
proportional increase in its cost of revenues. Due to the costs of building
out and maintaining its ad serving capacity and its operations and client
services departments in anticipation of future growth, AdKnowledge has
generally experienced negative gross margins since January 1, 1998.

  AdKnowledge believes that its gross margins will improve to the extent that
it succeeds in the initiatives discussed below. AdKnowledge cannot be certain,
however, that it will be able to successfully implement these initiatives or,
if implemented, that these initiatives will have the positive effect on gross
margin that it expects. These initiatives include:

    (a) Increasing the number of ads it serves. AdKnowledge is currently
  experiencing significant growth in its ad serving volume and expects this
  growth to continue in the future. It believes that increasing ad volumes
  will result in economies of scale and generally a lower average cost to
  deliver each ad. AdKnowledge believes that it can achieve these economies
  of scale because increased volume will enable it to negotiate preferable
  Internet service rates with network providers. In addition, it expects that
  minimal additions to its current operations staffing will be required to
  maintain and monitor a significantly greater number of ads than it serves
  today.

                                      26
<PAGE>

    (b) Improving the efficiency of its ad serving equipment. A significant
  portion of AdKnowledge's research and development activities is devoted to
  providing enhancements to software, hardware and network infrastructure to
  achieve greater ad serving capacity with its current level of ad delivery
  and reporting equipment. AdKnowledge expects these enhancements to result
  in a reduction in required capital expenditures and, therefore, in
  declining depreciation charges, in connection with incremental increases in
  ad volume.

    (c) Increasing the number of high-volume clients. AdKnowledge is
  currently experiencing growth in its number of high-volume clients and
  expects this growth to continue in the future. Such growth is expected to
  result in economies of scale for client services as the number of client
  service specialists is determined more by the number of clients and
  campaigns managed than by aggregate ads served.

    (d) Developing AdKnowledge eAnalytics as an emerging revenue
  stream. AdKnowledge eAnalytics is currently at a preliminary commercial
  stage and the potential margins on these services are currently unknown.
  However, AdKnowledge eAnalytics is positioned to be a premium service to
  traditional ad delivery and AdKnowledge expects that the incremental cost
  of revenues, including data storage and personnel-related costs, will be
  minimal over the mid- to long-term.

Acquisition Transaction

  AdKnowledge acquired Focalink for a purchase price of approximately $5.5
million, consisting of approximately $3.1 million in AdKnowledge shares and
warrants, $2.2 million in liabilities assumed and transaction costs of
approximately $208,000. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting and resulted in an expense of $804,000 in the fourth
quarter of 1997 for the write-off of purchased in-process research and
development that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no
alternative future use. Purchased technology and goodwill, totaling
approximately $3.2 million, were recorded in connection with the acquisition
and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three and five years. As
of September 30, 1999, approximately $1.4 million of this amount had been
amortized to expense. In the fourth quarter of 1999, and in years 2000, 2001
and 2002, an additional $0.2 million, $0.8 million, $0.4 million and $0.4
million of this purchased technology and goodwill will be amortized to
expense.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1999

  Revenues. Revenues increased from $1.7 million in the first nine months of
1998 to $3.4 million in the first nine months of 1999, an increase of 107%.
This increase was due primarily to a 320% increase in aggregate ad volume
offset in part by a 31% decrease in the average revenue derived per ad served.
The overall increase in revenues was also partially offset by the recognition
in the first nine months of 1998 of approximately $146,000 of ClickWise
license and support revenues and $276,000 derived from delivery of ads on
behalf of Web network sites, both of which were discontinued in 1998. The
overall increase in ad volumes between the periods resulted substantially from
the addition of new agency and marketer clients, partially offset by decreases
in volume attributable to the discontinuation of ad serving for Web network
sites. Excluding revenues generated from DoubleClick royalties, ClickWise and
ad serving for Web network sites, revenues from ad delivery, media planning
and associated management services increased from $1.2 million to $3.3
million, or by 177%, from the first nine months of 1998 to the first nine
months of 1999. No single client, or group of affiliated clients, comprised
10% or greater of AdKnowledge's consolidated revenues in the first nine months
of 1998 or 1999.

  Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased from $2.1 million in the first
nine months of 1998 to $4.2 million in the first nine months of 1999. Total
cost of revenues consists primarily of personnel-related costs of
AdKnowledge's operations and customer support organizations, as well as third-
party Internet hosting service costs and depreciation of ad serving and
reporting equipment. Since September 30, 1998, AdKnowledge has increased the
number and experience-level of its operations personnel and has acquired
significant capital assets in order to provide additional capacity and
operational redundancy. This trend continued into the fourth quarter of 1999
and AdKnowledge expects it to continue in the future. The increase in capital
assets has resulted in increased depreciation expense and Internet service
costs necessary to co-locate and connect AdKnowledge's equipment to the
Internet.


                                      28
<PAGE>

  Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of personnel and related costs associated with developing technology
to expand the features and functionality of AdKnowledge's products and to make
efficiency improvements in the design and deployment of its ad serving and
reporting assets. Research and development expenses were $1.7 million in the
first nine months of 1998 and $5.4 million in the first nine months of 1999.
This increase of approximately $3.7 million was due primarily to increased
personnel and consulting expenses. Of this increase, AdKnowledge incurred a
total of approximately $2.0 million of personnel, consulting and overhead
expenses for the development and preliminary delivery of its AdKnowledge
eAnalytics product offering in the second and third quarters of 1999. In the
fourth quarter of 1999, AdKnowledge expects to incur significant additional
consulting expenses in connection with its AdKnowledge eAnalytics development.
Through September 30, 1999, all research and development costs have been
expensed as incurred. AdKnowledge believes that continued investment in
research and development is critical to attaining its strategic objectives
and, as a result, expects research and development expenses to continue to
increase in future periods, particularly in connection with further
development of the AdKnowledge eAnalytics service offering.

  Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
personnel and related costs, including commissions, travel, advertising, trade
show costs and marketing materials expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were
$2.1 million in the first nine months of 1998 and $3.2 million in the first
nine months of 1999. This increase of approximately $1.1 million was due
primarily to an increase in sales personnel costs, particularly in commissions
and travel, and increased expenditures in connection with tradeshows.
AdKnowledge expects sales and marketing expenses to increase in future periods
as it hires additional sales personnel, expands into new markets and continues
to promote its services and product offering.

  General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of personnel and related costs associated with AdKnowledge's
executive and financial functions, as well as professional service fees and
general corporate costs. General and administrative expenses were $1.8 million
in the first nine months of 1998 and $3.2 million in the first nine months of
1999. In the third quarter of 1999, AdKnowledge recorded charges to general
and administrative expenses of $0.8 million for the write-off of deferred
initial public offering costs and of $0.2 million for legal fees incurred in
connection with its pending acquisition by Engage Technologies, Inc.
AdKnowledge expects that it will continue to incur significant acquisition-
related expenses through the fourth quarter of 1999. In addition, in both the
third quarters of 1998 and 1999, general and administrative expenses included
compensation attributable to the forgiveness of related party notes receivable
of approximately $0.3 million. AdKnowledge expects general and administrative
expenses to increase in future periods as it hires additional personnel and
incurs additional costs related to the growth of its business.

  Stock-Based Compensation. Since inception and through September 30, 1999,
AdKnowledge has recorded aggregate deferred stock-based compensation of
approximately $7.1 million for the difference between the exercise price and
the deemed fair value of common stock issuable upon the exercise of certain
stock options granted to employees. This deferred stock-based compensation is
being amortized over the vesting periods of the related options. AdKnowledge
recognized expense of $0.6 million in the first nine months of 1998 and $0.7
million in the first nine months of 1999 in connection with the amortization
of stock-based compensation. The expense recognized in the first nine months
of 1998 reflects the amortization of approximately $130,000 of expense
attributable to 294,697 stock options that were both granted and fully vested
in the first quarter of 1998. As of September 30, 1999, deferred stock-based
compensation of $5.4 million will be amortized to expense over the remaining
vesting periods of the related options. Of this amount approximately $0.4
million, $1.6 million, $1.5 million, $1.3 million and $0.6 million will be
amortized to expense in the fourth quarter of 1999 and in 2000, 2001, 2002 and
2003.

<PAGE>

Periods Ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998

  Revenues. In 1996, AdKnowledge was a development stage company and had no
revenues. In 1997, AdKnowledge's revenues of approximately $0.6 million were
generated exclusively from the licensing of its ClickWise product and from the
sale of software licenses and, to a lesser extent, service and support
contracts. In 1998, its revenues of $2.4 million were generated principally
from ad delivery and associated ad management services. Of the $2.4 million of
1998 revenues, approximately $0.4 million are nonrecurring due to the
discontinuation of ad serving for sites and the ClickWise product. No single
client, or group of affiliated clients, comprised 10% or greater of
AdKnowledge's consolidated revenues in 1997 or 1998.

  Cost of Revenues. In 1996, AdKnowledge had no revenues or cost of revenues.
In 1997, AdKnowledge's cost of revenues consisted primarily of personnel-
related costs associated with its ClickWise client service and support
activities. AdKnowledge recognized a gross profit of approximately $0.4
million, or 63% of revenues, during 1997. In 1998, AdKnowledge's cost of
revenues consisted primarily of personnel-related costs of its operations and
customer support organizations, third-party Internet hosting service costs and
depreciation of ad serving and reporting equipment. Approximately 50% of
AdKnowledge's total cost of revenues was comprised of payroll, consulting and
recruiting expenses. Internet hosting service costs, the largest variable
component of cost of revenues, were $0.4 million in 1998.

  Operating Expenses. In 1996, AdKnowledge had no material research and
development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. From
1997 to 1998, AdKnowledge experienced a substantial increase in its overall
business activities. In connection with its Focalink acquisition on December
31, 1997, AdKnowledge increased its headcount and assumed facility leases for
office space in Palo Alto, California and in New York City. During 1998,
AdKnowledge disposed of property and equipment that resulted in a loss of
approximately $0.2 million and incurred significant expenses in connection
with the recruitment and compensation of certain executive officers. During
1998, AdKnowledge also significantly increased its sales and marketing
activities, and developed and began to sell the AdKnowledge System.
Approximately 74% of total research and development, sales and marketing and
general and administrative expenses were comprised of payroll, consulting and
recruiting costs during 1998.

  Acquisition of In-Process Research and Development and Amortization of
Intangible Assets.  AdKnowledge acquired Focalink on December 31, 1997 and
recorded an expense of $804,000 for the write-off of purchased in-process
research and development that had not yet reached technological feasibility
and had no alternative future use. Purchased technology and goodwill, totaling
approximately $3.2 million, were recorded in connection with the acquisition
and, beginning January 1, 1998, are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over three and five years. In 1998, AdKnowledge recorded amortization of
intangible assets of approximately $0.8 million.

  The amount allocated to the in-process technology represented the purchased
in-process technology for three projects that had not reached technological
feasibility and had no alternative future use. The three projects comprised a
campaign management module and enhanced versions of centralized outsourced ad
serving and media planning services. Upon completion, these projects were to
become the central modules of the AdKnowledge System. The campaign management
module and the AdKnowledge System were introduced in the third and fourth
quarters of 1998. The value of these projects was determined by estimating the
costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into commercially viable
services; estimating the resulting net cash flows from the sale of services
resulting from the completion of the projects, reduced by the portion of the
revenues attributable to core technology; and discounting the net cash flows
back to their present value using discount rates of approximately 30%.

  The nature of the efforts to develop the purchased in-process technology
into commercially viable services principally related to the completion of all
planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that are
necessary to establish that the services can be produced to meet their design
specifications, including function, features and technical performance
requirements. The resulting net cash flows from such services were based on
AdKnowledge's estimates of revenues, cost of revenues, research and
development costs, sales and marketing costs, and income taxes from such
projects.

                                      30
<PAGE>

  The related net cash flows in 1998 and 1999 have been in excess of those
projected. AdKnowledge currently believes the aggregate net cash flows
originally anticipated will be realized and that there has been no material
change in the expected return on investment related to these services.
However, AdKnowledge cannot guarantee that it will realize revenues from these
services in amounts estimated and actual revenues realized from these services
may be significantly lower than expected in the future.

  Stock-Based Compensation. During 1996, AdKnowledge issued common stock to
its founders under restricted purchase agreements and retained the right to
repurchase the shares if these individuals terminated employment. In late
1996, it waived its right to repurchase certain of these shares and recorded
stock-based compensation of $0.5 million, equal to the difference between the
purchase price of the stock and its deemed fair value. In 1996, 1997 and 1998,
AdKnowledge recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately
$18,000, $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the difference between the exercise
price and the deemed fair value of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
employee stock options. This stock-based compensation is being recognized over
the vesting periods of the related options. In 1996, 1997 and 1998, options
for a total of 625,000 shares, 1,827,255 shares and 6,345,885 shares of common
stock were granted under its stock option programs.

Quarterly Results of Operations

  The following table sets forth unaudited quarterly consolidated statements
of operations data. AdKnowledge believes that this information has been
prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement, and that it reflects all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that it
considers necessary for a fair presentation of such information in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.

</TABLE>

  AdKnowledge believes that the seasonal fluctuations in its business are
trending towards those of traditional advertising, with the fourth quarter of
the year expected to generate the largest relative percentage of revenues.
AdKnowledge expects that the majority of its revenues in 1999 and for the
foreseeable future will be generated in the second half of each year. In the
future, it is also expected that the first quarter of each year, following the
holiday season, will tend to contribute the lowest relative percentage to
AdKnowledge's annual revenues. Excluding royalty revenues generated from
DoubleClick, total revenues were approximately $558,000, $659,000, $607,000,
$968,000 and $1,765,000 in the third and fourth quarters of 1998 and the
first, second and third quarters of 1999.

  Cost of revenues began to increase significantly in the fourth quarter of
1998 and in the first three quarters of 1999 primarily as a result of
increasing payroll-related costs. Increased consulting expenses in the first
quarter of 1999 and increasing Internet hosting service costs in the second
and third quarters of 1999 also contributed to the upward trend in total cost
of revenues.

  In AdKnowledge's research and development, sales and marketing, and general
and administrative activities, the largest single component of expenses is
payroll, consulting and other personnel related costs. AdKnowledge expects
that these costs will continue to comprise the largest component of its
operating expenses

                                      31
<PAGE>

and that they will increase in the future. Increased operating expenses in the
third quarter of 1999 resulted primarily from increased consulting expenses
incurred in connection with AdKnowledge eAnalytics development, increased
personnel-related costs, the write-off of deferred initial public offering
costs, the forgiveness of a related party note receivable and merger-related
costs.

  AdKnowledge's revenues, gross margins and other operating results have
varied widely in the past and AdKnowledge expects that they will continue to
vary in the future. As a result, AdKnowledge's results of operations for any
particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of its results of operations
for any future period. AdKnowledge's revenues and results of operations depend
on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Since its inception, AdKnowledge has financed its operations primarily
through the private placement of equity securities and, to a significantly
lesser extent, net proceeds from the issuance of notes payable and capital
lease financings. As of September 30, 1999, AdKnowledge had $5.9 million in
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and had borrowed $7.9
million under credit and capital lease facilities. Of these borrowings,
approximately $0.4 million of notes payable were subject to financial
covenants, including monthly liquidity, monthly quick ratio and quarterly
profitability. AdKnowledge has in the past had, and may in the future have,
difficulty complying with these covenants and is currently renegotiating such
covenants with the lenders. Currently, AdKnowledge has available credit
facilities of approximately $0.8 million.

  Net cash used in operating activities was $0.1 million in 1996, $1.9 million
in 1997, $7.2 million in 1998 and $9.9 million in the first nine months of
1999. Net cash used in operating activities resulted primarily from net losses
and increasing accounts receivable balances, partially offset by non-cash
charges. Net cash used in operating activities was also partially offset by
the timing of payable and accrued liability settlements. Net cash used in
investing activities was insignificant in 1996, $0.1 million in 1997, $1.5
million in 1998 and $3.9 million in the first nine months of 1999. Net cash
used in investing activities resulted primarily from capital expenditures for
equipment used in ad delivery, reporting and, to a lesser extent, for research
and development activities. In addition, in the first nine months of 1999,
AdKnowledge purchased $2.0 million of short-term investments. Net cash
provided by financing activities was $0.4 million in 1996, $2.2 million in
1997, $9.5 million in 1998 and $17.6 million in the first nine months of 1999.
Through September 30, 1999, net cash provided by financing activities
reflected approximately $23.1 million of net proceeds from issuance of
convertible preferred stock. In addition, during the first nine months of
1999, AdKnowledge received proceeds of $5.0 million from issuance of notes
payable, partially offset by $1.7 million of repayments.

  While AdKnowledge does not currently have any material commitments for
capital expenditures, it plans to incur approximately $1.1 million in capital
expenditures in the fourth quarter of 1999. AdKnowledge anticipates these
capital expenditures will be largely incurred in connection with the
maintenance and enhancement of its ad serving and reporting equipment and with
hardware and software necessary for continued development of its AdKnowledge
eAnalytics services. In addition, as of September 30, 1999, AdKnowledge's
future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases, net of
sublease rental receipts, totaled approximately $5.9 million through 2004.
AdKnowledge expects to continue to experience significant growth in its
operating expenses for the foreseeable future and anticipates that these
expenses will require a significant use of cash.

  On September 23, 1999, AdKnowledge signed the Merger Agreement pursuant to
which it agreed to be acquired by the Company, a provider of products and
services that enable customers to create and use profiles of individual Web
visitors to target advertisements, content and e-commerce offerings. Upon
completion of a number of transactions described in Note 12 of AdKnowledge's
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement, AdKnowledge will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
which is a majority-owned subsidiary of CMGI. The Transactions are subject to
certain conditions, regulatory approval and the shareholder approval of the
Company and AdKnowledge.

  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the effective time of the Merger
has not occurred in November 1999 and subject to certain conditions, the
acquiring parties will make a loan to AdKnowledge of $5.0 million.

                                      32
<PAGE>

Outstanding borrowings will be collateralized either by a security interest in
AdKnowledge's intellectual property or by a warrant to purchase Existing
AdKnowledge Common Shares, exercisable only upon an event of default. The loan
has a one-year term and bears interest at 14%. Under certain conditions
specified in the agreement, AdKnowledge's obligation to repay the loan may be
forgiven. If the effective time of the Merger has not occurred in November
1999, AdKnowledge intends to immediately borrow these funds.

  AdKnowledge believes that the proceeds of its loan from the acquiring
parties, together with its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for working
capital, repayment of debt and capital expenditures through the closing of the
transactions. However, if the transactions are not consummated by February
1999, AdKnowledge could be required to obtain additional equity or debt
financing to meet its cash requirements as an independent entity. If
AdKnowledge requires additional financing in the future after failure to
consummate the transactions, there can be no assurance that such financing
would be available to AdKnowledge on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Market Risk Disclosures

  AdKnowledge's exposure to market risk is principally confined to its cash
and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities, which have short
maturities and, therefore, immaterial market risk.

New Accounting Pronouncements

  In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP No. 98-1 requires entities to
capitalize costs related to internal-use software once specified criteria have
been met. AdKnowledge adopted SOP No. 98-1 on January 1, 1999. The adoption of
this standard did not have a material impact on AdKnowledge's results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.

  In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-up Activities." SOP No. 98-5 requires the costs of start-up activities
and organization costs to be expensed as incurred. AdKnowledge adopted SOP No.
98-5 on January 1, 1999. Because AdKnowledge has historically expensed the
costs of start-up activities, the adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.

  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. AdKnowledge will be
required to adopt SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001. Because it does not
currently hold any derivative instruments and does not engage in hedging
activities, AdKnowledge does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will
have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or
cash flows.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

  Many existing computer systems, applications and other control devices use
computer programs that recognize only two digits rather than four to define an
applicable year. Therefore, any computer systems or other equipment with
embedded date-sensitive technology may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000
issue". In addition to affecting the functionality of AdKnowledge's own
software and internal systems, the Year 2000 issue could result in system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions in the operations of business
and government entities which could affect operations in any area of
AdKnowledge, including its supply chain, distribution and financial
organizations.

  AdKnowledge initiated a Year 2000 compliance project in the first quarter of
1999. The scope of this project includes addressing the Year 2000 issue in
four key areas:

    (1) development, which includes AdKnowledge's software-based services;

                                      33
<PAGE>

    (2) operations, which includes the local area network, desktops, delivery
  and reporting equipment, and desktop-based software;

    (3) general and administrative, which includes voice communications
  equipment and service, business applications, payroll and benefits service
  providers, banks, general facilities, and key business relationships; and

    (4) quality assurance and testing of AdKnowledge's software-based
  services.

  The project consists of addressing each of these four areas in the following
phases: (a) awareness; (b) assessment; (c) renovation or replacement; (d)
testing and validation; (e) implementation; and (f) contingency planning.

  AdKnowledge commenced the awareness phase by establishing a Year 2000 team.
The assessment phase is substantially completed with core business areas and
processes identified, analyzed and the priority of their conversion or
replacement determined. The investigation included specifically identifying
information technology and non-information technology computer and embedded
systems. Based on the investigation, AdKnowledge determined that it would be
required to modify or replace certain portions of its third-party and
proprietary software so that such software would properly utilize dates beyond
December 31, 1999. Specific information technology and non-information
technology systems in AdKnowledge were targeted for software and hardware
upgrades or replacements.

  Also during the assessment phase, AdKnowledge commenced formal
communications with its significant suppliers to determine the extent to which
it is vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000
issue. Computer equipment and embedded-systems vendors, business service
providers and other third-party vendors, on whom AdKnowledge relies to carry
out normal business operations, generally have indicated substantial
remediation, or documented plans to remediate, the Year 2000 issue. Some have
given written certification of internal and product compliance. Substantially
all critical suppliers have indicated compliance of their product or service.
AdKnowledge can provide no assurances, however, that the systems of third-
party service providers on which its business operations rely will be
converted in a timely fashion, or that a failure to convert by a third party,
or a conversion that is incompatible with its systems, will not have a
material adverse impact on its business, results of operations and financial
position. Nevertheless, AdKnowledge presently believes that, based on the
positive responses of most business partners, including customers and vendors,
the Year 2000 issue is being diligently addressed and substantial mitigation
will be achieved in most, if not all, sectors.

  To date, AdKnowledge has also substantially completed the renovation or
replacement phase with respect to mission critical internal-use information
technology and non-information technology systems and AdKnowledge's own
proprietary software anticipated to be in use after December 31, 1999. The
renovation or replacement of non-mission critical systems and embedded
information technology and non-information technology systems is expected to
be completed by the end of 1999. Substantially all of AdKnowledge's critical
business and development computer systems have been updated with Year 2000
compliant versions of software and tested to assure that the software performs
as required. Material failure by one of these systems is not expected, based
on the results of testing to date. However, if such failure were to occur, it
could result in interruption of AdKnowledge's normal business operations and
affect its results of operations in that quarter. Year 2000 remediation
efforts are not expected to materially impact or delay other information
technology projects or new service introductions.

  The process of testing, validating and implementing Year 2000 corrections in
AdKnowledge's proprietary software is substantially complete. In addition,
certain of AdKnowledge's proprietary software scheduled for release in late
1999 is in its final development and testing phases. Based on remediation and
testing results achieved to date, AdKnowledge expects that the Year 2000
compliant versions of its software will be fully functional and will not
result in any Year 2000-related failure. However, if such failure were to
occur, it could result in interruption of AdKnowledge's normal business
operations and affect its ability to provide its services to, and satisfy and
retain, its clients. AdKnowledge believes, however, that its Year 2000 efforts
mitigate the possibility of such interruptions.

                                      34
<PAGE>

  AdKnowledge is currently progressing in the contingency planning phase with
the development of a comprehensive contingency plan that is intended to
mitigate possible disruptions that may occur due to material Year 2000-related
failures in any of the core business areas or processes. AdKnowledge has begun
to address contingency plans in the event of either its own software failure
or the failure of any critical third-party provider of goods or services,
including Internet hosting service providers. In general, third-party vendors
have indicated virtually complete product and service compliance and
substantially complete internal compliance. Although AdKnowledge will identify
alternative vendors for some critical items, and continue to maintain a
redundant and geographically distributed ad delivery and reporting capability,
it does not expect failures in this area to be significant. AdKnowledge has
determined that it is not practicable to identify or arrange for secondary
backup services for such critical functions as electricity, telephone, banking
and government services on which it must rely. Therefore, it continues to seek
information on the status of each of these service providers. AdKnowledge's
Year 2000 committee will continue to address options for mitigating failures
in these areas as part of its contingency plan.

  AdKnowledge's contingency plan for handling its proprietary software and
hardware service compliance consists principally of having available
appropriate engineering personnel to address problems that may occur. As
AdKnowledge continues to test its software for Year 2000 readiness, it expects
such issues, if any, to be insignificant and to be handled in the normal
course of business by existing engineering staff.

  AdKnowledge's estimates of the expected costs to complete the Year 2000
project are based on the results of the assessment, renovation or replacement,
and testing completed to date. The computer products purchased and used by
AdKnowledge consist substantially of new or relatively new equipment that are
certified Year 2000 compliant by the manufacturer. The principal software
platforms used by AdKnowledge in research and development activities, ad
delivery and reporting and most of its other operations are the latest
versions which have been represented by their manufacturers as Year 2000
compliant.

  Based on the above facts, AdKnowledge estimates the total cost for the Year
2000 project is $670,000. Estimated costs incurred through September 30, 1999
related to the Year 2000 project are $624,000, all of which have been expensed
in the period incurred. Most of AdKnowledge's Year 2000 project expenses have
related to, and are expected to continue to relate to, the operating costs
associated with time spent by employees and consultants in the evaluation
process and Year 2000 compliance matters generally. There can be no assurance,
however, that these cost estimates will be achieved and actual results could
differ materially from these estimates. Specific factors that might cause such
differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of
personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant
computer code, the failure of third parties which are material to
AdKnowledge's operations to mitigate their own Year 2000 issues, and similar
uncertainties. However, AdKnowledge is continuing to pursue the Year 2000
issue, and believes that, once all phases of the project have been completed
and contingency plans have been explored and put in place, AdKnowledge will be
able to significantly reduce the impact of any Year 2000-related disruptions
that may occur.

                        Background of the Transactions

  The Company is regularly involved in the review of private and public
companies with which it may form strategic partnerships to further its
objectives in the Internet commerce market. During the course of 1999, the
Company was made aware of AdKnowledge in the course of its evaluation of
companies with complementary products and services for purposes of joint
business development activities.

  In late July 1999, the Company was made aware of the opportunity to acquire
AdKnowledge by Broadview International, L.L.C. On or about July 27, 1999, the
Company and AdKnowledge entered into a confidentiality agreement providing for
the exchange of certain confidential information. On August 5, 1999, the
Company retained the services of Goldman Sachs & Co., Inc. as financial
advisors to the Company related to the potential acquisition. On August 18,
1999, the Company's Board of Directors met to discuss the potential
acquisition. Paul Schaut, the Chief Executive Officer and President and a
director of the Company, presented a recommendation

                                      35
<PAGE>

to acquire AdKnowledge to the Board of Directors if the parties could reach
reasonable terms. The Board of Directors approved this recommendation and
authorized management to initiate negotiations with AdKnowledge. On August 12,
1999, Michael K. Baker, the Vice President and General Counsel of the Company,
met with Mr. Kauffman at the offices of AdKnowledge's attorneys to initiate
the due diligence process. Due diligence teams for the Company and CMGI, as
well as the Company's outside counsel, accounting advisors and Goldman Sachs &
Co., Inc. conducted an in-depth analysis of the technical and development
status of AdKnowledge's products, plans for future products, organizational
processes, and general business operations.

  Between the dates of August 12, 1999 and September 23, 1999, the respective
financial and legal advisors for CMGI, the Company and AdKnowledge negotiated
the terms of the Merger Agreement.

  The Company's Board of Directors met September 9, 1999 to discuss the
proposed transaction. The board reviewed with management information regarding
the strategic fit between the two companies, due diligence assessments, and
remaining issues to be negotiated or addressed prior to execution of the
definitive Merger Agreement. The board informally endorsed continuing with the
negotiations.

  At several special meetings in August and September 1999, Mr. Kauffman
reported to the AdKnowledge board of directors on the status of the
transaction discussions with the Company and the AdKnowledge board of
directors discussed various issues relating to the proposed business
combination. AdKnowledge's outside counsel, Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP,
reviewed with the board of directors their fiduciary duties in connection with
the proposed transaction.

  On September 21, 1999, at a special meeting of the CMGI board of directors,
management reported on the status of the transaction discussions with
AdKnowledge and the CMGI board of directors discussed various issues relating
to the proposed business combination. The board considered and voted upon the
proposed transaction agreement and related transactions. Following such
presentations and further discussion, the execution of such documents and
related matters were approved by CMGI's board of directors.

  On September 20, 1999, at a special meeting of the Company's Board of
Directors, and again at a special meeting on September 23, 1999, management of
the Company reported on the status of the transaction discussions with
AdKnowledge and the Company's Board of Directors discussed various issues
relating to the proposed business combination. The Board of Directors
considered and voted upon the proposed Merger Agreement and related
transactions. At the September 23, 1999 meeting, Goldman Sachs & Co., Inc.
presented their views regarding the transaction from a financial point of
view, including the purchase price. Following such presentations and further
discussion, the execution of such documents and related matters were approved
by the Company's Board of Directors.

  On September 23, 1999, the Merger Agreement was executed by the parties. On
September 23, 1999, at the close of trading on the Nasdaq National Market, the
Company and CMGI issued a joint press release announcing the Transactions.

          Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

  The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
assume a business combination between the Company and AdKnowledge accounted
for as a purchase and are based on the respective historical consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company and AdKnowledge as
noted below. The historical consolidated financial statements of AdKnowledge
for the period from July 10, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996, and for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, including their notes,
begin on page F-1. The historical consolidated financial statements of the
Company for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, including
their notes, are incorporated by reference from the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999 contained in the Company's
Annual Report to Stockholders (see "More Information" below). The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the Company's July 31,
1999 consolidated balance sheet with AdKnowledge's June 30, 1999 unaudited
consolidated balance sheet as if the Transactions occurred on July 31, 1999.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations combine the
Company's historical operating results for the year ended July 31, 1999 with
the AdKnowledge operating results for the twelve months ended June 30, 1999 as
if the Transactions had occurred on August 1, 1998.

  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are
presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved if
the Transactions had been consummated as of the beginning of the period
presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results or
financial position of the Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements are based on the estimates and assumptions described in
the notes to those statements. The pro forma adjustments, including the
purchase price allocations, are based on preliminary allocations that may
change upon completion of a valuation. The pro forma adjustments included in
the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are expected
to be revised upon the finalization of the valuation of the net assets of
AdKnowledge acquired by the Company.

  The pro forma combined condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and the
related notes thereto of the Company and AdKnowledge presented in this Proxy
Statement. See "Where You can Find More Information and Incorporation of
Certain Documents by Reference."

           NOTES TO PROFORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           Year ended July 31, 1999
  (a) Reflects additional goodwill amortization expense related to the
      acquisition of AdKnowledge. The pro forma adjustment is based on the
      assumption that the entire amount identified as goodwill in Engage's
      acquisition of AdKnowledge will be amortized on a straight-line basis
      over a five year period. The adjustment amount has been reduced by
      $430,000, which represents the amortization of goodwill recorded in the
      historical financial statements of AdKnowledge. The Company has not yet
      completed the valuation of the actual intangible assets acquired. When
      completed, certain amounts identified as intangible assets may be
      amortized over periods other than the five year period represented in
      the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations. Additionally,
      a portion of the purchase price may be identified as in-process
      research and development. This amount, if any, will be charged to
      operating results in the Company's fiscal 2000 when the acquisition
      accounting and valuation are determined.

  (b) Under the terms of the merger and contribution agreement, CMGI will
      initially acquire control of AdKnowledge through the issuance of
      approximately $170 million of CMGI common stock in a merger of a
      subsidiary of CMGI into AdKnowledge. The value of the CMGI common stock
      being delivered is based on $84.80, the average of the last reported
      sales prices of the CMGI common stock over the 45 consecutive trading
      days ending on September 20, 1999, which value may be adjusted upward
      by up to 10% or downward by up to 10% based upon the average of the
      last reported sales prices of such stock over the 45 consecutive
      trading days ending two trading days prior to the effective time of
      this merger.

     Upon completion of this merger, CMGI will own approximately 88% of the
     common stock of AdKnowledge. This merger will be followed by a
     contribution of AdKnowledge shares held by CMGI and AdKnowledge
     shareholders to the Company in exchange for approximately $193 million
     of the Company's common stock. The value of the Company's common stock
     being delivered is $31.45, the average of the last reported sales prices
     of the Company's common stock over the 45 consecutive trading days
     ending on September 20, 1999 and may be adjusted upward or downward in
     the same manner as the CMGI stock described above. Any remaining holders
     of AdKnowledge common stock will receive the Company's common stock in a
     short-term merger with a subsidiary of the Company.

     For purposes of the pro forma financial presentation, aggregate purchase
     consideration to be issued by the Company at the completion of the
     merger and contribution includes approximately 5.7 million common shares
     valued at $176.4 million, net of discount for restrictions on
     transferability, stock options valued at $14.3 million and estimated
     direct costs of the acquisition of $4.0 million.

    Included in the aggregate purchase price of $194.7 million are $19.3
    million of merger shares which will be held in escrow for the purpose of
    securing the indemnification obligations of the AdKnowledge shareholders
    who receive merger shares and certain performance and employee retention
    milestones.

    The following represents the allocation of the estimated purchase price
    over the historical net book values of the acquired assets and
    liabilities of AdKnowledge at June 30, 1999, and is for illustrative
    purposes only. The actual purchase price allocation will be based on
    fair values will be based on the acquired assets and liabilities as of
    the acquisition date. In addition, the number of shares of CMGI common
    stock, and ultimately, the number of Engage common shares issuable to
    both CMGI and AdKnowledge, may change based on changes in the stock
    prices prior to the consummation of this transaction. Assuming the
    transaction occurred on August 1, 1998, the allocation would have been
    as follows (in thousands):

                  Description of the Company's Capital Stock

  The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of
Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per
share.

  The following summary description of the Company's capital stock is not
intended to be complete and is qualified by reference to the provisions of
applicable law and to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Charter") and its Amended and Restated Bylaws.

  Common Stock. As of November 1, 1999, there were 48,707,869 shares of Common
Stock outstanding and held of record by 140 stockholders. In addition, as of
November 1, 1999, there were outstanding stock options for the purchase of a
total of 8,898,107 shares of Common Stock. Holders of Common Stock are
entitled to one vote per share for each share held of record on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights.
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in
person or by proxy at the Meeting. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to
receive ratably such lawful dividends as may be declared by the Board of
Directors of the Company. However, such dividends are subject to preferences
that may be applicable to the holders of any outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, holders of Common Stock
will be entitled to receive pro rata all of the remaining assets of the
Company available for distribution to its stockholders. Any such pro rata
distribution would be subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock. The Common Stock has no preemptive, redemption,
conversion or subscription rights. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are
fully paid and non-assessable. The Contribution Shares will be fully paid and
non-assessable. The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of
Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of
the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock that the Company may
designate and issue in the future. Upon the closing of the Contribution, there
will be no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

  Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Company will be authorized,
subject to any limitations prescribed by Delaware law, without further
stockholder approval, to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of
5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, in one or more series. The Board of
Directors of the Company is also authorized, subject to the limitations
prescribed by Delaware law, to establish the number of shares to be included
in each series and to fix the voting powers, preferences, qualifications and
special or relative rights or privileges of each series. The Board of
Directors of the Company is authorized to issue Preferred Stock with voting,
conversion and other rights and preferences that could adversely affect the
voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. The Company has
no current plans to issue any Preferred Stock. However, the issuance of
Preferred Stock or of rights to purchase Preferred Stock could have the effect
of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a
third party from attempting to acquire, a majority of the outstanding Common
Stock.

  Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law. The Charter contains a
provision expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 ("Section 203")
of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 restricts
some business combinations involving interested stockholders, defined as any
person or entity that is the beneficial owner of at least 15% or a
corporation's voting stock or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation
or the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation
at any time in the past three years, or their affiliates. Because of such
election, Section 203 will not apply to the Company.

  Limitation of Liability and Indemnification. The Charter provides that no
director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or to its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except that the limitation shall not eliminate or limit liability to the
extent that the elimination or

                                      41
<PAGE>

limitation of such liability is not permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law as it exists or may later be amended. The Charter further
provides for the indemnification of the Company's directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise
discretionary. In addition, the Company plans to enter into indemnification
agreements with its directors containing provisions which may require the
Company, among other things, to indemnify its directors against various
liabilities that may arise by virtue of their status or service as directors,
and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against
them as to which they could be indemnified.

  Stock Transfer Agent. The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock
is EquiServe L.P.

                   THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE
             FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE INTERESTED PARTY TRANSACTION

                      APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

  The Board of Directors of the Company has appointed KPMG LLP, independent
certified public accountants, to audit the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2000 and recommends that the
stockholders vote for the ratification of such appointment. KPMG LLP has
served as the Company's accountants since 1995. Although stockholder approval
of the Board of Directors selection of KPMG LLP is not required by law, the
Board of Directors believes that it is proper to provide stockholders with the
opportunity to ratify the selection. If the proposal is not approved at the
Meeting, the Board of Directors may reconsider its selection of KPMG LLP. A
representative of KPMG LLP will be present at the Meeting and will be
available to respond to appropriate stockholders' questions and to make a
statement if he or she so desires to do so.

                   THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE
              FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of AdKnowledge Inc.

  In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
AdKnowledge Inc. at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the period from July 10, 1996 (date of
inception) to December 31, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

Note 1--The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 The Company

  AdKnowledge Inc., formerly ClickOver, Inc. (the "Company"), is a provider of
comprehensive internet advertising management and analytic services for
marketers and advertising agencies.

  The Company was incorporated in California on July 10, 1996 under the name
of ClickOver, Inc. On February 6, 1998, the Company changed its name to
AdKnowledge Inc.

 Basis of presentation

  The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations
since inception. The Company's activities have been primarily financed through
private placements of equity securities, subordinated debentures and capital
lease financing. Management is seeking to increase revenues through the
marketing of its products and services while exploring other venues to fund
working capital requirements. The Company will be required to raise additional
capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities and capital lease
financing. Such financing may not be available on terms satisfactory to
AdKnowledge, if at all. There can be no assurance that sufficient revenues
will be achieved or additional financing will be available.

 Principles of consolidation

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AdKnowledge
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Focalink Communications, Inc. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 Unaudited interim results

  The accompanying interim financial statements as of September 30, 1999, and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 are unaudited. The
unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as
the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
September 30, 1999 and results of operations and cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. The financial data and other
information disclosed in these notes to consolidated financial statements
related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

 Use of estimates

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments

  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
Company's short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale as of
the balance sheet date and are reported at fair value, based on quoted market
prices, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in shareholders' equity on
the consolidated balance sheets.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
  (Information as of and relating to the nine months ended September 30, 1998
                            and 1999 is unaudited)


 Restricted cash

  Cash balances of $79,637 at December 31, 1997 and 1998 and September 30,
1999 were restricted from withdrawal and held by a bank in the form of
certificates of deposit. These certificates of deposit serve as collateral to
a letter of credit issued to the Company's landlord as a security deposit.

 Fair value of financial instruments

  Carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments including
cash and cash equivalents, receivables, deposits, borrowings under line of
credit, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, and the current
portion of notes payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

  Carrying amounts of long-term notes payable and capital leases are
considered to approximate fair value based upon comparable market information
available at the respective balance sheet dates.

 Concentration of credit risk

  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents in domestic
financial institutions. The Company's accounts receivable are derived from
revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. AdKnowledge sells and grants
credit for its services to its customers without requiring collateral or
third-party guarantees. The Company monitors customers' payment history and
establishes reserves for bad debt as warranted.

  At December 31, 1998, one customer accounted for 10% of total accounts
receivable.

 Fixed assets

  Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally
3 to 5 years. Equipment acquired under capital leases is amortized on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of its lease term or estimated useful
life, generally three years. When fixed assets are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in income.

 Long-lived assets

  The Company accounts for long-lived assets under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which requires
the Company to review for impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets, whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset might not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, the Company
estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset
and its eventual disposition. If the undiscounted expected future cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is
recognized. To date, no impairment loss has been recognized.

 Revenue recognition

  For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company's revenues were derived
primarily from the provision of ad delivery and associated management services
to its clients. The Company recognizes revenue at the time the services are
delivered, providing the Company does not have significant remaining
obligations and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. The
Company recognizes revenue from these services based on the

  (Information as of and relating to the nine months ended September 30, 1998
                            and 1999 is unaudited)

number of advertisements delivered, as well as from monthly usage fees for the
Company's Web-based advertising management system.

  For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company's revenues were derived
primarily from the sale of software licenses to Web publishers and were
recognized in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 91-1,
"Software Revenue Recognition." The Company recognized revenue from the sale
of software licenses upon shipment if remaining obligations were insignificant
and collection of the resulting receivable was probable. Revenue from software
maintenance contracts, including amounts unbundled from product sales, was
deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the contract.

 Research and development costs

  Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.

 Advertising costs

  Costs related to advertising and promotion of products is charged to sales
and marketing expense as incurred. Advertising cost charged to expenses for
the period from July 10, 1996 (date of inception) to December 31, 1996 and for
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 were approximately none, $175,251
and $292,218, respectively.

 Income taxes

  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly,
deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the differences between the tax
basis of an asset or liability and their reported amounts in the financial
statements, or from the tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards.
Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in
effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided
under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 Stock-based compensation

  The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in
accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and complies with the
disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Under APB No. 25,
compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the
grant, between the fair value of the Company's stock and the exercise price of
the option. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to nonemployees
in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") 96-18.

 Comprehensive income

  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income. This statement requires companies to classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance
sheet. The Company had no comprehensive income items to report through
December 31, 1998 and an insignificant amount of unrealized loss on
investments in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

                            and 1999 is unaudited)


 Segment information

  In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131"). SFAS No. 131 supersedes FAS 14, "Financial Reporting for
Segments of a Business Enterprise," replacing the "industry segment" approach
with the "management" approach. The management approach designates the
internal organization that is used by management for making operating
decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable
segments. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. The Company conducts its business
within one business segment primarily within the U.S.

 Certain risks and uncertainties

  The Company's products and services are concentrated in the Internet
advertising industry which is characterized by rapid technological advances,
changes in customer requirements and evolving regulatory requirements and
industry standards. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or to respond
adequately to technological developments in its industry, changes in customer
requirements or changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, or
any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or
services, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
operating results.

 Recent accounting pronouncements

  In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use ("SOP 98-1"). SOP
98-1 is effective for financial statements for years beginning after December
15, 1998. SOP 98-1 provides guidance over accounting for computer software
developed or obtained for internal use including the requirement to capitalize
specified costs and amortization of such costs. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations,
financial positions or cash flows.

  In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-
up Activities". SOP 98-5, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998, provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up
costs and organization costs. It requires costs of start-up activities and
organization costs to be expensed as incurred. As the Company has historically
expensed these costs, the adoption of SOP 98-5 did not have a significant
impact on its results of operations, financial positions or cash flows.

  In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively
referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is
effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is
evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 133.

Note 2--Acquisition of Focalink Communications, Inc.:

  On December 31, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of Focalink
Communications, Inc. ("Focalink") for approximately $5,505,000, including
acquisition costs of $208,000 and liabilities assumed of $2,190,439. Focalink
was primarily engaged in the development of software tools to evaluate, place
and manage advertising campaigns on the Internet. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and resulted in a one-time write-off of $804,000
for purchased in-process research and development for which there was no
alternative future use and for which technological feasibility has not been
established. The balance of the purchase price in excess of tangible net
assets acquired was allocated to purchased technology and goodwill of
$1,007,000 and $2,149,096, respectively. The Company is amortizing the
purchased technology and goodwill on a straight-line basis over three and five
years, respectively.

  In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 336,909 shares of
Common Stock and a total of 3,457,377 shares of Series C (issued as Series C-
1, C-2 and C-3) Convertible Preferred Stock valued at an aggregate of
$2,859,000 in exchange for the outstanding common and preferred stock of
Focalink as well as $4,367,000 of long term debt. The Company also issued
warrants to purchase 176,197 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at
prices ranging from $1.80 to $7.02 per share and valued at $247,507.

Note 5--Related Party Transactions:

  At December 31, 1998, the Company had notes receivable from officers and
shareholders in the amounts of $40,535, (including interest) for the purchase
of common stock (included in shareholders' equity) and $625,023 which was
borrowed for other personal reasons. The notes bear interest at rates of 5.56%
to 5.69% and are due at various dates through March 31, 2002. Notes in the
amount of $275,599 are collateralized by a deed of trust on a residence and
$389,959 of the notes are collateralized by common stock of the Company. Notes
in the amount of $208,385 are without recourse, except to the extent of the
common stock held as collateral.

  In August 1999, the Company forgave a note receivable from an officer in an
aggregate amount of $298,979, including accrued interest. Such amount was
recorded as a charge to general and administrative expenses in the third
quarter of 1999. Concurrent with the forgiveness of this note, the Company
issued the officer a note in the amount of $147,714 for the purpose of
enabling such officer to pay taxes associated with the forgiveness of the
related note. This note bears interest at a rate of 5.43%, is collateralized
by common stock of the Company and is payable upon the earlier of the
occurrence of certain specified events or in August 2002.

  During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company incurred $223,000 of
expenses for business consulting services rendered by two shareholders and one
former executive of the Company.

  In addition, the Company issued 2,345,300 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
in March 1998 in exchange for a note payable to an investor in the amount of
$1,300,000. The note was issued in January 1998 with warrants to purchase
117,265 shares of common stock. The warrant was cancelled in connection with
the note conversion. The Company also assumed a loan in the amount of $251,589
from an investor in connection with the acquisition of Focalink, which loan
was converted to 451,020 shares of Series D Preferred Stock in March 1998.

  Due to uncertainties surrounding the use of the deferred tax assets, a full
valuation allowance has been recorded.

  At December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $16 million of federal
and $15.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to
offset future taxable income which expire in varying amounts

between 1998 and 2011. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and
benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in
certain circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the amount of net
operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are
not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50%, as defined,
over a three year period. Given the equity changes that have occurred during
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company has likely incurred an
ownership change and the utilization of its net operating losses are subject
to such limitations.

  The following amounts were outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1998:

1. The revolving line of credit and equipment line of credit were converted
   into the respective term and equipment loans in December 1998.
2. The term loan and equipment loan are subject to various financial covenants
   with which the Company was in compliance at December 31, 1998
3. Under the combined master lease, subordinated loan agreement and line of
   credit facility, the Company has an aggregate credit facility of
   approximately $4,000,000. Amounts borrowed under this facility are

   subordinated to the Company's term and equipment loans. The agreement
   contains various financial and operating covenants with which the Company
   was in compliance at December 31, 1998. Under the agreement the Company has
   obtained a letter of credit for $526,000 used as a deposit for the lease of
   its corporate headquarters. If the letter of credit is drawn upon, the
   Company will be required to repay the amount used over a two-year period
   with interest at 14% per year. The Company is charged a facility fee equal
   to 1% of the letter of credit balance per year.

  Some of the debt and capital leases restrict the payment of dividends.

  In February 1999, the Company repaid $1,250,000 of the Note payable and
converted the balance into a term note payable for $9,823 per month through
August 2001 with interest at 13%. In addition, the Company borrowed an

</TABLE>

  The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock have various rights and
preferences as follows:

 Voting

  Each share of Series A, B, C-1, C-2, C-3, D and E Convertible Preferred
Stock has voting rights equal to an equivalent number of shares of Common
Stock into which it is convertible and votes together as one class with the
Common Stock.

  As long as at least 25% of the shares of any Series of Convertible Preferred
Stock remain outstanding, the Company must obtain approval from a majority of
the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock in order to (1) amend the Articles
of Incorporation or by laws as related to Convertible Preferred Stock, (2)
change the authorized or issued number of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock, (3) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares
of any series of Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect the shares, (4)
create a new class of stock or effect a merger, consolidation or sale of
assets where the existing shareholders retain less than 50% of the voting
stock of the surviving entity.

 Dividends

  Holders of Series A, B, C-1, C-2, C-3, D and E Convertible Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends at the per annum rate of
$0.01, $0.03, $0.05, $0.21, $0.12, $0.04 and $0.63 per share, respectively,
when and if declared by the Board of Directors. The holders of Series A, B, C-
1, C-2, C-3, D and E Convertible Preferred Stock will also be entitled to
participate in dividends on Common Stock, when and if declared by the Board of
Directors, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held on an as-if
converted basis. No dividends on Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock
have been declared by the Board of Directors from inception through December
31, 1998.

 Liquidation

  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
including a merger, acquisition or sale of assets where the beneficial owners
of the Company's Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock own less than
50% of the resulting voting power of the surviving entity, the holders of
Series A, B, C-1, C-2, C-3, D and E Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled
to receive an amount of $0.20, $0.4717, $0.8451, $3.2981, $1.9129, $0.5543 and
$0.90 per share, respectively, plus any declared but unpaid dividends prior to
and in preference to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock. The
remaining assets, if any, shall be distributed until the Series A, B, C-1, C-
2, C-3, D and E shall have in the aggregate an amount equal to $0.80, $1.8868,
$3.3804, $13.1924, $7.6516, $2.2172 and $3.60 per share. Should the Company's
legally available assets be insufficient to satisfy the liquidation
preferences, the funds will be distributed pro rata in proportion to the
Series A, B, C-1, C-2, C-3, D and E Convertible Preferred Stock ownership.

 Conversion

  Each share of Series A, B, C-1, C-2, C-3, D and E Convertible Preferred
Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holder,
according to a conversion ratio and subject to adjustment for dilution. Each
share of Series A, B, C-1, C-2, C-3, D and E Convertible Preferred Stock
automatically converts into the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such shares are convertible at the then effective conversion ratio upon: (1)
the closing of a public offering of Common Stock at a per share price of not
less than $1.6629 per share as of December 31, 1998 and $2.70 per share as of
September 30, 1999 with gross proceeds of not less than $10 million, (2) the
consent of the holders of the majority of Convertible Preferred Stock. At
December 31, 1998 the Company had reserved approximately 25 million shares of
common stock for the conversion of the preferred stock. In 1999 the number of
shares of common stock reserved for conversion of preferred stock was
increased to approximately 42 million.

 Warrants

  At December 31, 1998, there were warrants to purchase 706,166 shares of
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at prices ranging from $0.69 to $0.90 per
share, and warrants to purchase 176,197 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock at prices ranging from $1.80 to $7.02 per share outstanding
and exercisable. The Series C warrants were issued in connection with the
acquisition of Focalink (see Note 2) and expire through 2006. The fair value
of these warrants, $247,507 (valued under the Black-Scholes model) was
included in the purchase price. The Series D warrants were issued in
connection with the various financings in 1998 and expire at the earlier of 10
years from the issue date or five years from an initial public offering of the
Company's common stock. The fair value of these warrants, $272,410 (valued
under the Black-Scholes model), has been accounted for as debt discount and
has been included with other current and long term assets. The Company
amortized $18,753 of such discount in 1998.

  In February 1999, in conjunction with leases entered into, the Company
granted the lender warrants to purchase 55,555 shares of Series E Convertible
Preferred Stock at $0.90 per share. These warrants expire at the earlier of 10
years from the issue date or five years from an initial public offering of the
Company's common stock. The fair value of these warrants, $37,759 (valued
under the Black-Scholes model), has been accounted for as debt discount and
has been included with other current and long term assets.

 Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement

  The Company sold Common Stock to certain employees under restricted purchase
agreements under which the Company had the right to repurchase the shares in
the event the employee terminated employment. In 1996, the repurchase right
with respect to 1,952,468 unvested shares was waived. As a result, $546,691 of
compensation expenses, equal to the difference between the purchase price of
the stock and the then current value, was charged to operations. The
repurchase right with respect to all other shares had expired at December 31,
1998.

Note 10--Stock Option Plans:

  In 1996 and 1998, the Company adopted the 1996 and 1998 Stock Option Plans
(the "Plans"), respectively. The Plans provide for the granting of stock
options to employees, non-employee Board members and consultants of the
Company. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options
or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options ("ISO") may be granted
only to Company employees. Nonqualified stock options ("NSO") may be granted
to Company employees, non-employee Board members and consultants. The Company
has reserved 7,521,592 and 1,372,286 shares of Common Stock for issuance under
the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 1998 Stock Option Plan, respectively.

  Options under the Plans may be granted for periods of up to ten years and at
prices no less than 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date
of grant as determined by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that (i)
the exercise price of an ISO and NSO shall not be less than 100% and 85% of
the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, respectively, and
(ii) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO granted to a 10% shareholder shall
not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of
grant and the option term cannot exceed five years from the date of grant.
Options are exercisable immediately, subject to a right of repurchase by the
Company of unvested shares. To date, options granted generally vest over four
years. At December 31, 1997 and 1998, 629,426 and 1,238,682 shares of Common
Stock, including shares under unexercised options, were subject to repurchase,
respectively. There were no shares subject to repurchase at December 31, 1996.

  During 1998, the Company recorded $35,263 of deferred stock compensation for
the fair value of 78,367 options granted in 1998 to non-employees (valued
under the Black-Scholes model). The compensation expense is being recognized
over the period of service.

</TABLE>

  Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the amount by
which the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price
of the stock options at the measurement date, which in the case of employee
stock options is typically the date of grant. For financial reporting
purposes, the Company has determined that the deemed fair market value on the
date of grant of certain employee stock options was in excess of the exercise
price of the options. This amount is recorded as deferred stock-based
compensation and is classified as a reduction of shareholders' equity and is
amortized as a charge to operations over the vesting period of the applicable
options. The vesting period is generally four years. Consequently, the Company
recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $175,220, $454,718, $2,432,434,
and $4,004,139 during the period from July 10, 1996 (date of inception) to
December 31, 1996, during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, and
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. Amortization
recognized for the period from July 10, 1996 (date of inception) to December
31, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $17,678, $97,717, $806,712 and
$699,987, respectively. The Company's stock option grants and related deemed
fair value are as follows:

Pro forma stock-based compensation

  The Company accounts for employee stock options under APB Opinion No. 25.
Had the Company determined compensation expense under SFAS No. 123, the effect
on the Company's net earnings would have been insignificant. These pro forma
results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected in the
future as additional grants are made each year and options vest over several
years. The weighted average fair value of the options and warrants granted or
modified for the period ended December 31, 1996, and the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1998 was $0.0022, $0.0086 and $0.0114, respectively.

  The following weighted average assumptions were used in the above
calculations:

Note 11--Employee Benefit Plan:

In January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the savings plan under Section 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code of Focalink Communications, Inc. There were no
contributions made by the Company in 1998.

Note 12--Merger and Contribution Agreement (unaudited):

  On August 27, 1999, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). On September 30, 1999,
the Company filed a Request for Withdrawal of its Form S-1 with the SEC
because it entered into the merger and contribution agreement described below.
In connection with the withdrawal of its Form S-1, the Company recorded a
charge to operations of $772,686 for the write-off of deferred initial public
offering costs in September 1999.

  On September 23, 1999, the Company signed an agreement pursuant to which it
agreed to be acquired by Engage Technologies, Inc. ("Engage"), a provider of
products and services that enable customers to create and use profiles of
individual Web visitors to target advertisements, content and e-commerce
offerings. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Engage, which is a majority owned subsidiary of
CMGI, Inc. ("CMGI"). Under the terms of the merger and contribution agreement,
CMGI will initially acquire control of the Company through the issuance of
approximately $170 million of CMGI common stock in a merger of a subsidiary of
CMGI into the Company. The value of the CMGI common stock being delivered is
based on $84.80, the average of the last reported sales prices of the CMGI
common stock over the 45 consecutive trading days ending on September 20,
1999, which value may be adjusted upward by up to 10% or downward by up to 10%
based upon the average of the last reported sales prices of such stock over
the 45 consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the effective
time of this merger.

  Upon completion of this merger, CMGI will own approximately 88% of the
Common Stock of the Company. This merger will be followed by a contribution of
the Company's shares held by CMGI and the Company's shareholders to Engage in
exchange for approximately $193 million of Engage common stock. The value of
the Engage common stock being delivered is $31.45, the average of the last
reported sales prices of Engage common stock over the 45 consecutive trading
days ending on September 20, 1999 and may be adjusted upward or downward in
the same manner as the CMGI stock described above. Any remaining holders of
AdKnowledge Common Stock will receive Engage common stock in a short-form
merger with a subsidiary of Engage.

                            and 1999 is unaudited)


  The transaction, which will be accounted for as a purchase, is subject to
certain conditions, regulatory approval and the shareholder approval of Engage
and AdKnowledge. In connection with the merger and contribution, the Company
amended its Articles of Incorporation in November 1999 to authorize
114,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance, of which 58,000,000 shall be
Common Stock, no par value, and 56,000,000 shall be Class B Common Stock, par
value $0.01. In addition, the Company is authorized through this amendment to
issue an additional 7,500,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock,
designated as Series F, no par value.

Note 13--Computation of Net Loss Per Share:

  Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed giving
effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during
the period. Dilutive potential common equivalent shares consist of the
incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options.

  A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted net
income per share is provided as follows:

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1--Formation and Business of the Company:

 The Company

  Focalink Communications ("the Company") is a provider of Web-based software
tools for evaluating, placing, and managing advertising campaigns on the Web.
Its main products are Smartbanner, which is a Web advertising campaign
management service and MarketMatch, which is a media planning tool. The
Company is in the development stage and since inception has devoted
substantially all of its efforts to developing its products, raising capital
and hiring personnel.

Note 2--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 Use of Estimates

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity or remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase
to be cash equivalents, which include money market funds and commercial paper.
The Company has a certificate of deposit which is the deposit for its current
facility.

 Concentration of Credit Risk

  The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 1997 are
deposited with one U.S. financial institution. The balance of such deposits
exceeds federal insured amounts.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

  The carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their
short maturities. Based upon borrowing rates currently available to the
Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of capital lease
obligations approximate fair value.

 Property and Equipment

  Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three
to five years. Leased assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
lesser of the estimated useful life or the lease term. Gains and losses upon
asset disposal are recognized in operations in the year of disposition.

 Income Taxes

  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, measured
at tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


 Revenue Recognition

  Revenues from subscriptions are recognized on a month-to-month basis.
Revenues from contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the life of
the contract which is generally one year.

 Research and Development Expenditures

  Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.

 Advertising

  The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for
1997 were $1,632,398.

The shares will vest through 1999.

 Convertible Preferred Stock

 Dividends

  The holders of shares of Series A and Series B preferred stock are entitled
to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available prior and in
preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend to the common
stockholders, at the rate of $0.0328 and $0.128 per share per annum,
respectively or if greater, amounts equal to dividends paid on the outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors. Such dividends are not cumulative. After payment of the dividend

participate with shares of common stock as to any additional declaration or
payment of any dividend. As of December 31, 1997, no dividends have been
declared.

distribution of any assets of the Company to the holders of common stock, an
amount per share equal to the sum of (i) $0.41 for each outstanding share of
Series A preferred stock and $1.60 for each outstanding share of Series B
preferred stock and (ii) an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends on
such shares. If upon the occurrence of such an event, the assets and funds
distributed among the holders of the Series A and Series B preferred stock
shall be insufficient to permit the payment of preferential amounts, then the
entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution
shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A and Series B
preferred stock in proportion to the aggregate liquidation preference for the
shares of such stock owned by each such holder.

 Conversion

  Each share of Series A and Series B preferred stock is convertible, at the
option of the holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares
of common stock as determined by dividing the applicable original issue price
by the conversion price applicable to such share in effect at the date of
conversion. Each share of Series A and Series B preferred stock shall
automatically be converted into shares of common stock immediately upon the
earlier of the closing of a firm commitment under written public offering in
which the public offering results in $10,000,000 or more in gross proceeds to
the Company and the per share price to the public which is at least $5.00. At
December 31, 1997, each share of Series A and Series B preferred stock can be
converted to one share of common stock, subject to adjustments under specific
circumstances. The Company has reserved a total of 5,126,250 shares of common
stock in the event of preferred stock conversion.

 Redemption

  The Series A and Series B preferred stock is not redeemable.

 Voting rights

  The holder of each share of Series A and Series B preferred stock is
entitled to one vote for each share of common stock into which such share of
preferred stock is convertible. Fractional voting rights resulting from
fractional shares shall be disregarded.

Note 6--Income Taxes:

  The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using current tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts
expected to be realized.

  At December 31, 1997, the Company has federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $6,390,448 available to offset future regular
and alternative minimum taxable income, if any. These operating loss
carryforwards will expire between 2003 to 2011, if not utilized beforehand.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


  The difference between the effective tax rates at December 31, 1997 and the
statutory federal income tax rate is due to the operating losses not
benefited.

  For federal and state tax purposes, a portion of the Company's net operating
loss carryforwards may be subject to certain limitations on annual utilization
in case of a change in ownership, as defined by federal and state tax law.

  Temporary differences which give rise to significant portions of deferred
tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1997 are as follows:
