have been prepared by C-bridge Internet Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(together the "Company"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished in the condensed
consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and
reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements.
Results of operations for the three and six month periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000 or for any future period. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company

not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and the notes
thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

2. NET LOSS PER SHARE

   Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for all periods presented
due to the Company's net losses for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 and 2000. Antidilutive securities, which consist of options and warrants

3. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

   The Company views its operations and manages its business as two segments,
strategic and technology consulting services and educational services. The
Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that provide
distinct services to the end customer. They are managed separately because each
business requires different marketing and management strategies. The Company's
approach is based on the way that management organizes the segments within the
Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

   The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company
does not allocate operating expenses between its two reportable segments.
Accordingly, the Company's measure of performance for each reportable segment
is based on total net revenues and direct costs of services, which are reported
separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The
Company does not identify assets and liabilities by segment. Accordingly,
identifiable assets, capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization are
not reported by segment.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   On July 5, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of Open Enterprise
Corporation (OEC). In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued
approximately 399,000 shares of common stock and paid approximately $2.5
million in cash for all of the outstanding common stock of OEC. OEC's
operations prior to the acquisition were not material to the Company's.

Overview

   C-bridge Internet Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") is a full service provider
of Internet-based solutions designed to help companies conduct eBusiness. The
Company has experienced consistent revenue growth since its inception in
October of 1996.

   The Company's revenues are derived primarily from providing Internet
professional services and it anticipates that revenue growth will be driven
primarily by the number and scope of its client engagements and by the growth
of its professional services headcount. During the second quarter of 2000, the
Company earned professional services revenues from 30 clients and three
professional services clients accounted for approximately 42% of the Company's
total net revenues. Revenues from any given client will vary from period to
period; however, the Company expects that significant customer concentration
will continue for the foreseeable future. To the extent that any significant
client uses less of the Company's services or terminates its relationship with
the Company, revenues could decline substantially. In addition, the loss of any
significant client could materially and adversely affect the Company's business
and results of operations.

   The Company also generates revenues from providing educational services. In
May 1999, the Company entered into an outsourcing agreement with one of its
sales lead sources, CEE, to provide the operational aspects of their executive
education seminars. The Company markets and sells its services through
executive education seminars, indirectly with partners, and directly through
its sales organization. A material portion of leads and revenues for 2000 and a
majority of leads and revenues for 1999 have come through executive education
seminars.

   Revenues and earnings may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on factors
within and outside the Company's control, including the variability in market
demand for the Internet and for Internet professional services, the length of
the sales cycle associated with service offerings, the number and scope of
projects, seasonal factors and the efficiency of utilizing professional
services employees.

   For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, approximately 88% of professional
services revenues were generated pursuant to time and material contracts, while
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, approximately 66% of revenues were derived
from time and material contracts. Revenues from time and material contracts are
generally recognized as services are provided. Revenues generated pursuant to
fixed-fee contracts are generally

                                       7
<PAGE>

recognized as services are rendered using the percentage-of-completion method
of accounting. Revenues exclude reimbursable expenses charged to clients.

   Despite a growth in revenues, the Company has not been profitable and
expects to continue to incur net losses. Net losses may not decrease
proportionately with the increase in revenues primarily because of increased
expenses related to the hiring of additional employees, expansion of the number
of offices, increased investment in knowledge management, methodologies and
operations infrastructure, and increased marketing and sales efforts. To the
extent that future revenues do not increase significantly in the same periods
in which operating expenses increase, operating results would be adversely
affected.

   The largest portions of the Company's costs result from employee
compensation and the related overhead and facilities costs. The Company
currently expects to continue to grow its headcount. Accordingly, if revenues
do not increase at a rate equal to expenses, the Company's business, financial
condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, liquidity may also be adversely affected if revenues do not
increase at a rate equal to these additional expenses.

   Client engagements currently average three to six months in duration. If a
client engagement ends earlier than expected, professional services employees
must be re-deployed and any resulting non-billable time will adversely affect
professional services margins. The Company also expects per capita professional
services costs to increase over time due to wage increases and inflation.
Professional services margins are affected by trends in hiring and in
professional services employee utilization, and, as such, will vary in the
future. Any significant inability to increase billable rates, a decline in
billable rates or time billed to clients or the loss of a significant client
would materially adversely affect professional services margins.

   At June 30, 2000, the Company had 491 employees.

   Professional services revenues increased 355% to $17.1 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30,

and increases in both the size and number of the Company's client engagements.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, professional services revenues from three
clients totaled 42% of total net revenues reflecting a decreasing but continued
concentration of revenues from a small number of clients, while professional
services revenues from four clients totaled 72% of total net revenues for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999.

and benefits of employees engaged in the delivery of professional services and
of non-reimbursable project expenses related to client projects. Direct costs

Direct costs of professional services increased 315% to $8.3 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1999. This increase was primarily due to the growth of professional services
headcount to respond to growth and a general increase in wages for professional
services employees. The Company increased its professional services headcount
to 324 at June 30, 2000 from 69 at June 30, 1999. Direct costs of professional

expenses increased 638% to $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
from $619,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in selling and marketing headcount, travel related expenses
and an increase in direct expenses related to sales and marketing programs
during the second quarter of 2000. Selling and marketing expenses represented
24% of total net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and 13% of total
net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

administrative expenses increased 294% to $6.2 million for the quarter ended

increase was due primarily to an increase in recruiting expenses and an
increase in general and administrative headcount. General and administrative
expenses represented 33% of total net revenues for the quarters ended June 30,
2000 and 1999.

non-cash compensation expense related to the granting of stock options and
warrants. The Company has previously recorded deferred compensation expense of
$9.5 million related to certain stock option grants. This deferred compensation
expense is recognized based on the vesting of these stock options. Of the
original $9.5 million of deferred compensation expense, aproximately $512,000
was expensed in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. During the quarter ended June

 Interest and Other Income

   Net interest and other income (expense) increased 283% to income of $1.1
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from income of $291,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. This change was primarily due to interest income
related to the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering and payments
received in connection with the settlement of litigation.

 Provision for Income Taxes

   The Company had a net operating loss carryforward of $3.1 million at
December 31, 1999, which may be used to offset future taxable income, if any.
This carryforward is subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions that may limit
use of the carryforward in the event there are significant changes in ownership
of the Company. The Company has not given recognition to any potential tax
benefits, consisting primarily of the net operating loss carryforward, as it is
more likely than not that these benefits will not be realizable in future
years' tax returns.

million. Working capital increased to $69.4 million at June 30, 2000 from $63.7

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative
Commodity Instruments

   As of June 30, 2000, the Company did not participate in any derivative
financial instruments or other financial and commodity instruments for which
fair market value disclosure would be required under SFAS No. 107. All of the
Company's investments are money market accounts or U.S. Treasury Bills with
maturities of ninety days or less that are carried on the Company's books at
amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Accordingly, the Company
has no quantitative information concerning the market risk of participating in
such instruments.

Primary Market Risk Exposures

   The Company's primary market risk exposure is in the area of interest rate
risk. The Company's investment portfolio of cash and cash equivalents is
subject to interest rate fluctuations, but the Company believes this risk is
immaterial due to the short-term nature of the investments.
