Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 1999
(Unaudited)
(1) The Company
During 1998, through a series of transactions, Rare Medium Group, Inc. ("RMG" or
"the Company"), formerly known as ICC Technologies, Inc. ("ICC"), restructured
its operations to focus on the business of providing Internet professional
services to large and medium size businesses, including Fortune 500 companies.
Such services focus on helping clients develop Internet strategies, improve
business processes and develop interactive content using Internet-based
technologies by providing clients with Internet business strategy consulting,
marketing, creative design and development needs analysis, architecture
planning, Internet, Intranet and Extranet solutions, hosting and maintenance.
The Company accomplished this change in its operations by restructuring its
Engelhard/ICC joint venture in February, 1998; purchasing the Internet-related
businesses of Rare Medium, Inc. ("Rare Medium"), I/O 360, Inc. ("I/O 360") and
DigitalFacades Corporation ("DigitalFacades") in October, 1998; and disposing of
Fresh Air Solutions (defined below) in October, 1998. Historically ICC had been
engaged in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of climate control
systems. On March 16, 1999, at a special meeting, the Company's shareholders
approved a change in the name of the Company to "Rare Medium Group, Inc."
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company further refined its Internet-based
strategy with its decision to build, through acquisition, a portfolio of
additional product and service offerings by becoming an incubator for the new
technology companies emerging from Silicon Alley in New York, the Digital Coast
in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Toronto, San Francisco and beyond. Under this
strategy the Company would offer: access to capital; technical expertise and
execution; and administrative, legal and financial professional services that
every start-up company requires. The Company will focus on leveraging and
building synergies between its existing client relationships and expertise, and
these new product and service offerings. The Company will also continue to
pursue additional acquisitions of Internet professional services companies.
On February 25, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of Interface Alternatives,
Inc. through a newly-formed subsidiary, iface.com, which is in the business of
providing software and solutions for voice-over-internet protocol ("VOIP") for
voice, video and fax communications via the Internet. We own 80% of the stock of
iface.com and previous management of Interface Alternatives, Inc. owns the
remaining 20%. As consideration for the assets of Interface Alternatives, Inc.,
which are currently estimated at $165,000, iface.com assumed the liabilities of
Interface Alternatives, Inc., which are currently estimated at $265,000. In
addition, we provided cash at closing to iface.com in the amount of $250,000 and
a one-year line of credit in the amount of $250,000.
On March 26, 1999, the Company acquired by merger all of the stock of Hype, Inc.
("Hype"), a privately held Ontario, Canada corporation. Hype, located in
Toronto, is one of Canada's leading Internet marketing and communications firms.
Total consideration for the purchase was approximately $1.2 million, consisting
of 270,992 shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company has accounted for the above transactions under the purchase method
of accounting. The respective recognized purchase prices were allocated to net
tangible assets, which consisted primarily of cash, accounts receivable,
property and equipment, accounts payable, and notes payable. Goodwill of $1.3
millon resulting from the transactions is being amortized over a three year
period.
(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998 included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-2 for the year then ended.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31,
1999 include the results of operations and financial position of Rare Medium
Group, Inc. ("the Company") on a consolidated basis.
<PAGE>
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31,
1998 include the results of operations of the Company and its 90% owned
partnership with Engelhard Corporation, Fresh Air Solutions, L.P. ("FAS"). On
October 14, 1998, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ICC
Desiccant Technologies, Inc., completed the sale of a majority of its
partnership interests in Fresh Air Solutions, L.P. ("FAS"). ICC Desiccant
Technologies, Inc., which was subsequently renamed Investment Holding Company,
was the general partner of FAS. In connection with this sale, the unaffiliated
investment entity that purchased the partnership interests assumed the
liabilities of FAS as general partner, with certain exceptions. As a result of
the sale of FAS partnership interests, ICC Desiccant Technologies, Inc.
retained, as its sole asset, a 32.4% passive investment limited partnership
interest in FAS. The Company has no future funding responsibilities with respect
to FAS and has a 36% limited partnership interest with no voting rights, and
therefore, is accounting for the remaining investment in FAS under the cost
method.
Subsequent to the sale of the FAS partnership interests referred to above, FAS
redeemed the 10% limited partnership interest in FAS held by Engelhard
Corporation in exchange for the 20% limited partnership interest in Engelhard
Hexcore, L.P. held by FAS and $1 million in cash. As a result, Investment
Holding Company's interest in FAS has been increased to a 36% limited
partnership interest.
Consequently, the results of operations of FAS for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 are accounted for as discontinued operations. For further
information regarding this transaction, refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K
filed by the Company on October 29, 1998 as amended on Form 8-K/A filed on
November 13, 1998.
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following represent additional accounting policies as a result of the
acquisition of Rare Medium.
Revenue Recognition
Rare Medium recognizes revenue over the period of time of each engagement using
primarily the percentage of completion method of accounting using labor hours
incurred as the principal measure of progress towards completion. Deferred
revenues represent the amounts invoiced in advance of services being performed.
Work in progress, included in inventories, consists of the value of services
performed that have not been billed.
(4) Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. The results of operations of
the Company and its subsidiaries have been insufficient to cover costs of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company's continuation
as a going concern is dependent on its ability to:
(i) generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely
basis,
(ii) obtain additional financing as may be required, and
(iii) ultimately attain profitable operations and positive cashflows from
its operations.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that may result from the Company's inability to continue as a going
concern.
On May 7, 1999, we entered into definitive agreements with Apollo Investment
Fund IV, L.P. and several other purchasers to raise $87.0 million in equity
capital through the issuance of $15 million of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock and $72 million of Series B Preferred Stock, and we expect to close on the
transaction contemplated by such agreements on or before May 31, 1999. The $72
million received as consideration for the Series B Preferred Stock will be held
in escrow following closing pending receipt of stockholder approval of the
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, as required by the agreements with the purchasers and by the Nasdaq
National Market listing rules. If such stockholder approval is not obtained
within 120 days after closing, the purchasers will have the right to cause us to
redeem the Series B Preferred Stock and have the $72 million held in escrow
returned to them. The Company anticipates that the investment by Apollo would
satisfy all of its cash needs, including those associated with its growth plans,
<PAGE>
for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that such
transaction will be consummated or, if consummated, that we would obtain such
stockholder approval. See Note 8 for a further description of the Apollo
transaction.
(5) Convertible Debenture
Effective January 28, 1999, the Company sold an 8% Convertible Debenture in the
principal amount of $3.5 million to Capital Ventures International ("CVI"),
which together with accrued interest, is currently convertible into common stock
at a conversion price equal to $5.27 per share. After July 27, 1999 such
Convertible Debenture will be convertible at a variable rate, but in no event
less than $2.49 per share. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to purchase
404,625 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.27 per share, subject
to reset in certain circumstances. Subject to the provisions of the Securities
Purchase Agreement with CVI, the Company may sell an additional 8% convertible
debenture in the principal amount of $2.5 million at the same conversion rate,
and an additional warrant to purchase 289,017 shares at the same exercise price
upon satisfying certain closing conditions.
The Company allocated $980,000 of the $3.5 million received in connection with
issuance of the Convertible Debenture to the value of the warrant. Additionally,
$1,285,000 was recognized as a discount representing the value of the beneficial
conversion feature. The $980,000 discount attributable to the value of the
warrant is being amortized over the four year maturity of the Convertible
Debenture, and the $1,285,000 discount attributed to the beneficial conversion
feature is being amortized over 180 days, which is the period of time from
issuance that the Convertible Debenture can first be converted to common stock.
For additional information regarding this transaction, see the Company's Form
8-K filed on February 4, 1999.
(6) Income Taxes
The Company and the stockholders of Rare Medium, I/O 360, DigitalFacades, and
Hype intend that each of their respective merger agreements shall constitute a
tax-free plan of reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a result of various recent equity
transactions and anticipated future transactions, management believes the
Company may have undergone or will undergo during 1999 an "ownership change" as
defined by section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the
utilization of a portion of the net operating loss carryforward may be limited.
(7) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential
dilution that could occur if stock options or warrants were exercised or
converted into common stock. Basic and dilutive earnings per share were the same
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 since the effect of all potential
dilutive common shares was antidilutive.
(8) Subsequent Events
By agreement dated February 26, 1999, we signed a definitive agreement to
acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of FS3 Interactive, Inc. FS3 creates
Internet-based business solutions, including web marketing, design, programming,
and E-commerce enabling solutions. As consideration for the purchase, we paid
approximately $3.5 million by issuing 768,975 shares of common stock, which was
determined based upon an agreed-upon formula equal to two times FS3's trailing
twelve-month revenues divided by an agreed-upon share valuation. The transaction
<PAGE>
has closed subsequent to March 31, 1999, and will be accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.
On March 5, 1999, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the
outstanding stock of Big Hand, Inc. and its subsidiary CircumStance Inc. Big
Hand creates Internet-based solutions, including web marketing, design,
programming and E-commerce enabling solutions. As consideration for the
purchase, we paid approximately $6.6 million by issuing 1,460,603 shares of
common stock, which was determined based upon and agreed-upon formula equal to
two times trailing twelve-month revenues of Big Hand and CircumStance divided by
an agreed-upon share valuation. The transaction has closed subsequent to March
31, 1999, and will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
On February 25, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the
outstanding stock of Internet Games Corporation, a privately held Delaware
corporation. liveuniverse.com, as the business is now known, is a community
and entertainment network which seeks to provide web masters and home page
builders with major portal services such as chat rooms, message boards, greeting
cards, guest books, traffic counters and mailing lists. As consideration for the
acquisition, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock. The transaction
has closed subsequent to March 31, 1999, and will be accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.
Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement between the Company and two holders of the
note payable by Rare Medium, Inc. and guaranteed by the Company, effective
April 5, 1999, the Company issued an aggregate of 963,052 shares of common stock
of the Company to such noteholders in exchange for their beneficial interest in
$3,987,031 of the original principal amount of the note. As a result of this
transaction, the $10.4 million aggregate principal balance on this note as of
December 31, 1998 has been reduced to $6,439,066. This note bears interest at
the prime rate, is payable semi-annually, and the remaining principal is due in
two equal installments on April 15, 2000 and April 15, 2001. The Company will
record an expense in the amount of approximately $1 million related to this
transaction, which is the value of the shares issued as of April 5, 1999 in
excess of the amount of debt converted to shares.
On May 7, 1999, we entered into definitive agreements with Apollo Investment
Fund IV, L.P., pursuant to which we have agreed to sell 150,000 shares of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock for $15 million and 720,000 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock for $72 million to Apollo Investment Fund IV, L.P. and several
other purchasers. We anticipate that closing will occur on or before May 31,
1999. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock acquired at closing will have
full voting rights together with the common stockholders equal to approximately
17% of our outstanding common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock will have no
voting rights, subject to our obtaining stockholder approval of the conversion
of the Series B Preferred Stock into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock within
a certain period, as discussed below. In order to comply with the Nasdaq
National Market listing requirements, which in certain cases require stockholder
approval of issuances of common stock or securities convertible into or
exercisable for common stock in an amount equal to 20% or more of the common
stock or voting power of an issuer outstanding before the issuance, the
agreements with the purchasers require us to obtain stockholder approval of the
conversion of the non-voting Series B Preferred Stock into Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. Upon such conversion, the aggregate Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock outstanding will have full voting rights together with the
common stockholders equal to approximately 43% of our outstanding common stock.
The $72 million received as consideration for the Series B Preferred Stock will
be held in escrow following closing pending receipt of stockholder approval of
the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. Upon obtaining such approval, the Series B Preferred Stock will
automatically convert into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock without any
further action. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within 120 days
after closing, a majority of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will
have the right to cause us to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock and have the
$72 million held in escrow returned to them. In lieu thereof, the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock will have other rights. There can be no assurance that
the transaction contemplated with Apollo by such definitive agreements will be
consummated or, if consummated, that we would obtain such stockholder approval.
Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into a
number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the liquidation
preference of $100 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, by the
conversion price of $7.00. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to preferred dividends, a
liquidation preference, and will be issued with detachable warrants to purchase
13.5 shares of common stock at a variable strike price based on the then current
market price of the common stock. At closing, the purchasers will also be issued
warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 12 million shares of common
stock at a strike price of $7.00 per share. For as long as Apollo Investment
Fund IV, L.P. owns at least 25% of the securities acquired at closing, the
holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class,
will have the right to elect three of the members of our Board of Directors and
maintain at least 40% representation on the Board if the Board size is
increased. In addition, such holders will have the right to elect a majority of
the Board at any time upon the occurrence of certain events of non-compliance.
We have retained Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. as our financial advisor in connection
with the transaction contemplated with Apollo.
By agreement dated May 7, 1999, we agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding
stock of Struthers Martin, Inc. ("Struthers"), a privately held Georgia
corporation. Struthers is a leader in Internet and network integration services
and enterprise management, and has completed work for such organizations as
IBM's Interactive Media Division, Bally Total Fitness, and Lucent Technologies.
As consideration for the $6 million purchase price (which does not include the
minimum $1.8 million of cash which must remain in Struthers at closing), we will
issue 406,091 shares of common stock. The transaction will be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
As a result of the Company's disposition of its non-Internet related businesses
during 1998, the results of operations of FAS for the three months ended March
31, 1998 are accounted for as discontinued operations. Accordingly, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations will
focus on its Internet-related businesses, and operations for the first quarter
of 1999 will be compared with the operating results of the Company for 1998 on a
pro forma basis, including the operating results of Rare Medium, Inc. for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. (Rare Medium, Inc. was actually purchased by
the Company in April, 1998). For information related to the operations of FAS
during the first quarter of 1998, refer to the Company's form 10-Q filed for the

Overview
Rare Medium Group, Inc. ("the Company") conducts its operations primarily
through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Rare Medium, Inc., I/O 360,
DigitalFacades, Hype, and iface.com. Rare Medium was acquired on April 15, 1998,
and is an Internet professional services firm engaged in the business of
providing Internet professional services to large and medium size businesses,
including Fortune 500 companies. Such services focus on helping clients develop
Internet strategies, improve business processes and develop interactive content
using Internet-based technologies by providing clients with Internet business
strategy consulting, marketing, creative design and development needs analysis,
architecture planning, Internet, Intranet and Extranet solutions, hosting and
maintenance.
Both I/O 360 and DigitalFacades were acquired on August 13, 1998. DigitalFacades
is a Los Angeles-based Internet professional services firm whose clients include
Bugle Boy, Epson America, Inc. and Beckman Coulter. I/O 360 Digital Design, Inc.
is a New York-based interactive design studio specializing in visual and
engineering solutions for all technology-mediated business environments. I/O 360
has recently designed the web site identity for the New York Times' New York
Today site, Yahoo Internet Life, Microsoft Press, and other complex projects for
such clients as Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Citicorp, Sony, Fujitsu, Barnes & Noble
and Prodigy.
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company further refined its Internet-based
strategy with its decision to build, through acquisition, a portfolio of
additional product and service offerings by becoming an incubator for the new
technology companies emerging from Silicon Alley in New York, the Digital Coast
in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Toronto, San Francisco and beyond. Under this
strategy the Company would offer: access to capital; technical expertise and
execution; and administrative, legal and financial professional services that
every start-up company requires. The Company will focus on leveraging and
building synergies between its existing client relationships and expertise, and
these new product and service offerings. The Company will also continue to
pursue additional acquisitions of Internet professional services companies
similar to Rare Medium, Inc.
A key component of our growth strategy is to acquire Internet related
businesses that complement or enhance our business on acceptable terms. We
expect the competition for acquisition candidates to continue to increase. There
is no assurance that we will identify and compete for attractive acquisition
candidates or complete acquisitions at reasonable purchase prices, in a timely
manner or at all.
To the extent we have to use cash consideration for acquisitions in the future,
we may need to obtain additional financing. To the extent our management must
devote significant time and attention to the integration of technology,
operations, businesses and personnel as a result of these acquisitions, our
ability to service current clients and win new clients may suffer. In addition,
our senior management faces the difficult and potentially time consuming
challenge of implementing uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies
throughout our current and future acquisitions. We could also experience
financial or other setbacks if any of the acquired businesses experienced
problems in the past of which our management is not presently aware. For
example, if an acquired business had dissatisfied customers or had any
performance problems, our reputation could suffer as a result of our association
with that business. In addition, we may experience disputes with the sellers of
acquired businesses and may fail to retain key acquired personnel.
On February 25, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of Interface Alternatives,
Inc. through a newly-formed subsidiary, iface.com, which is in the business of
providing software and solutions for voice-over-internet protocol ("VOIP") for
voice, video and fax communications via the Internet. We own 80% of the stock of
iface.com and previous management of Interface Alternatives, Inc. owns the
remaining 20%. As consideration for the assets of Interface Alternatives, Inc.,
which are currently estimated at $165,000, iface.com assumed the liabilities of
Interface Alternatives, Inc., which are currently estimated at $250,000. In
addition, we provided cash at closing to iface.com in the amount of $250,000 and
a one-year line of credit in the amount of $250,000.
On March 26, 1999, the Company acquired by merger all of the stock of Hype, Inc.
("Hype"), a privately held Ontario, Canada corporation. Hype, located in
Toronto, is one of Canada's leading Internet marketing and communications firms.
Total consideration for the purchase was approximately $1.2 million, consisting
of 270,992 shares of the Company's common stock.
<PAGE>
The Company is integrating the operations of Rare Medium, I/O 360,
DigitalFacades, and Hype under the Rare Medium brand name while achieving
economies of marketing, purchasing, and operations, and while simultaneously
leveraging relationships with various clients that existed prior to the mergers.
To that end, the operations of Rare Medium and I/O 360 have largely been
physically integrated due to I/O 360's move to a location in New York City
adjacent to Rare Medium, and the Los Angeles operations of Rare Medium and
DigitalFacades have been consolidated into one location.
Below is a table comparing the Internet operations of the Company on a pro forma
basis. The amounts shown for the three months ended March 31, 1999 include the
operations of the Company as they are currently reported. The amounts shown for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 are the pro forma results of operations of
Rare Medium, Inc. combined with the general and administrative expenses of the
registrant, and the results of operations of FAS condensed as a single net loss
included in "Other Income / (Expense)".

Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $ 2.6 million, an increase
of $ 1.5 million or 149% over the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
increase is primarily the result of the acquisitions of I/O 360 and Digital
Facades during the third quarter of 1998, which have facilitated increases in
both the number and relative size of client engagements. The operations of I/O
360 and Digital Facades have been integrated into the existing operations of
Rare Medium. Revenues for 1999 also include $ 0.1 million in revenue from iFace
from its date of acquisition, February 26, 1999. Revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 do not include the results of the recently acquired
companies: BigHand/Circumstance, FS3, or liveuniverse.com, since the
acquisition of these companies closed after March 31, 1999. During the quarter,
the Company dedicated some otherwise billable resources to development work for
iFace, Live Universe and other development stage projects as part of its
strategy to incubate early stage Internet companies, by providing capital,
Internet solutions and professional services. This practice is expected to
continue in future periods, and while it may have a negative impact on short
term revenue growth, the Company believes this development work will have a
positive impact in the long term by accelerating the growth of the development
stage projects. However, there can be no assurance that these projects will be
successful.
Our clients generally retain us on a project by project basis, rather than under
long-term contracts. As a result, a client may or may not engage us for further
services once a project is completed. Establishment and development of
relationships with additional companies and other corporate users of information
technology is an important component of our success. The absence of long-term
contracts and the need for new clients create an uncertain revenue stream. A
client which accounts for a significant portion of our revenues in a given
period may not generate a similar amount of revenues, if any, in subsequent
periods. There is no assurance that we will be able to add new major clients or
to secure new engagements with existing clients. In addition, some of our
existing clients may unilaterally reduce the scope of, or terminate, existing
projects. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain our business
relationship or avoid a material reduction in the use of our services by any of
our significant existing clients.
Most of our contracts are currently on a fixed-price basis, rather than a time
and materials basis. Further, the average size of our contracts is currently
increasing, which results in a corresponding increase in our exposure to the
financial risks of fixed price contracts. We assume greater financial risk on
fixed-price contracts than on time and materials engagements. We have only a
limited history in estimating our costs for our engagements, particularly for
larger projects. We have had to commit unanticipated resources to complete some
of our projects, resulting in lower gross margins on such contracts. We may
experience similar situations in the future. In addition, we typically assume
the fixed-price contracts of the companies we acquire. If we fail to estimate
accurately the resources and time required for an engagement, to manage client
expectations effectively or to complete fixed-price engagements within our
budget, on time and to our clients' satisfaction, we would be exposed to cost
overruns, potentially leading to losses on these engagements.
Salary Expense
Salary expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased $2.6
million or 157 % to $1.0 million from the same period in the prior year. The
increase is due primarily to additional personnel in the acquired companies,
Digital Facades and I/O 360, and the Company's continued investment in building
infrastructure to support the anticipated long term growth of the Company.
During this period, the Company also hired a President and senior operations
managers for its major offices in New York and Los Angeles for its Rare Medium,
Inc. subsidiary. The Company expects compensation expenses to increase on an
absolute dollar basis as the Company hires additional personnel and incurs
additional costs related to the anticipated growth of its business and its
operations as a public company. The Company also expects to hire additional
personnel and increase its spending for marketing and other infrastructure
needs.
<PAGE>
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999
were $1.6 million. This was an increase of $1.3 million or 466% over the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The increase is principally a result of the
substantial increase in personnel and number of facilities.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of goodwill and deferred financing and acquisition
costs. For the three months ended March 31, the increase in amortization of
intangible assets resulted primarily from the Company's acquisitions of Rare
Medium, Inc. in April of 1998, and of I/O 360 and Digital Facades in August of
1998. The Company anticipates that expenses related to the amortization of
intangible assets will increase in future periods as it continues to acquire
additional Internet professional service firms, as well as other Internet
related businesses.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Interest expense net of interest income for the three months ended March 31,
1999 includes $205,211 of interest expense related to the Rare Medium
acquisition. This expense represents the accrued interest on the Company's note
payable to the original Rare Medium stockholders, payable in a combination of
cash or common stock of the Company, at the Company's election, subject to some
restrictions. Interest expense also includes $547,438 related to the CVI
convertible debentures. The CVI expense includes $63,992 of accrued interest and
$483,446 for the amortization of the debt discount and the beneficial conversion
feature.
Net Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded a loss of $1.6
million excluding $5.2 million in amortization of intangible assets and net
interest expense. Including these amortization expenses, the net loss for the
period was $6.9 million. The loss was primarily due to the factors described in
"Salary Expense" and "General and Administrative Expense."
Although we have experienced revenue growth, this growth may not be sustainable
or indicative of future operating results. In addition, we have incurred
substantial costs to expand and integrate our operations and we intend to
continue to invest heavily in acquisitions, infrastructure and marketing. Our
ongoing integration costs will include the combination of the financial,
information and communications systems of the various companies that we have
acquired and expect to acquire. Our ongoing expansion costs will include the
leasing of additional office space and the purchase and leasing of new computer
and communications equipment. As a result of these and other costs, we may
continue to incur operating losses through 1999 and beyond, and there can be no
assurance that we will achieve or sustain profitability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had $3.6 million in cash and equivalents at March 31, 1999.
Cash used in operating activities was $ 2.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and resulted primarily from the net loss from operations of $6.8
million, offset by non-cash charges of $4.9 million (which includes primarily
amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets
and leasehold improvements).
Cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. Capital expenditures totaled $0.2 million. Capital expenditures
have generally been comprised of purchases of computer hardware and software as
well as leasehold improvements related to leased facilities and are expected to
increase in future periods.
Cash provided by financing activities was $5.1 million for the three months
ending March 31, 1999. This resulted primarily from the issuance of a $3.5
million convertible debenture as discussed below, and the exercise of warrants
and options that yielded $1.8 million to the Company.
Effective January 28, 1999, the Company sold an 8% Convertible Debenture in the
principal amount of $3.5 million to Capital Ventures International ("CVI"),
which together with accrued interest, is currently convertible into common stock
at a conversion price equal to $5.27 per share. After July 27, 1999 such
Convertible Debenture will be convertible at a variable rate, but in no event
less than $2.49 per share. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to purchase
404,625 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.27 per share, subject
to reset in certain circumstances. Subject to the provisions of the Securities
Purchase Agreement with CVI, the Company may sell an additional 8% convertible
debenture in the principal amount of $2.5 million at the same conversion rate,
and an additional warrant to purchase 289,017 shares at the same exercise price
upon satisfying certain closing conditions. For additional information regarding
this transaction, see the Company's Form 8-K filed on February 4, 1999.
Currently, we have an agreement in principle and are in the process of
negotiating a definitive agreement with CVI to issue to it such additional
debentures and warrants for $2.5 million and immediately following such sale to
exchange all of the debentures and warrants then held by CVI for approximately
1.6 million shares of Common Stock of the Company. No assurance can be given
that such transactions will be consummated.
In connection with certain Exchange Agreements between the Company and certain
of the holders of the $22.2 million aggregate notes held by former shareholders
of Rare Medium, Inc., effective December 31, 1998 the Company, in a private
placement of securities, issued an aggregate of 2,951,814 shares of common stock
of the Company to such noteholders in exchange for their beneficial interest in
$11,773,881 of the original principal amount of the note and accrued and unpaid
interest thereunder through December 31, 1998. Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement
between the Company and two remaining noteholders, effective April 5, 1999, the
Company issued an aggregate of 963,052 shares of common stock of the Company to
<PAGE>
such noteholders in exchange for their beneficial interest in $3,987,031 of the
original principal amount of the note. As a result of these transactions, the
original $22.2 million aggregate principal balance has been reduced to
$6,439,066. These notes bear interest at the prime rate, with interest payable
semi-annually, and the remaining principal is due in two equal installments on
April 15, 2000 and April 15, 2001. The Company will record an expense in the
amount of approximately $1 million related to this transaction, which is the
value of the shares issued as of April 5, 1999 in excess of the amount of debt
converted to shares.
On May 7, 1999, we entered into definitive agreements with Apollo Investment
Fund IV, L.P. and several other purchasers to raise $87 million in equity
capital through the issuance of $15 million of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock and $72 million of Series B Preferred Stock, and we expect to close on the
transaction contemplated by such agreements on or before May 31, 1999. The $72
million received as consideration for the Series B Preferred Stock will be held
in escrow following closing pending receipt of stockholder approval of the
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, as required by the agreements with the purchasers and by the Nasdaq
National Market listing rules. If such stockholder approval is not obtained
within 120 days after closing, the purchasers will have the right to cause us to
redeem the Series B Preferred Stock and have the $72 million held in escrow
returned to them. There can be no assurance that such transaction will be
consummated or, if consummated, that we would obtain such stockholder approval.
If we fail to consummate such equity transaction, we will need to sell
additional equity or debt securities or seek credit facilities within twelve
months in order to fund our capital requirements and to satisfy our debt
obligations to several former stockholders of Rare Medium, Inc. in the years
2000 and 2001. In addition, if we fail to consummate such transaction or
consummate the transaction but fail to obtain stockholder approval of the
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, we could need to raise additional funds sooner in order to support more
rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services and products, respond to
competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take
advantage of unanticipated opportunities. We have not entered into any other
agreements to raise additional funds and in the event we fail to consummate the
transaction contemplated by the agreements with Apollo Investment Fund IV, L.P.
and the other purchasers, we may not be able to borrow money or issue more
shares of common stock to meet our cash needs, or if we could complete another
transaction, it may not be on terms that are favorable or reasonable from our
prospective. Sales of additional equity or convertible debt securities,
including in the event the transaction with Apollo Investment Fund IV, L.P. and
the other purchasers is consummated, would result in additional dilution to our
stockholders. Future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon
numerous factors, including the success of our existing and new service
offerings and competing technological and market developments. There can be no
assurance that future funding, if needed, will be available, or, if available,
under terms acceptable to us.
Since our common stock was trading at or below the minimum $5.00 per share
closing bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq National
Market during 1998 and earlier this year, and since we did not have net tangible
assets of at least $4 million, we received notice from Nasdaq that we must take
steps to come into compliance with the Nasdaq National Market listing standards
or our common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. A hearing
with Nasdaq was held on February 4, 1999. We proposed a plan to Nasdaq which we
believe should enable us to remain listed on the Nasdaq National Market. On
April 22, 1999, we were notified by Nasdaq that it had determined to continue
the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market, provided that on
or before June 30, 1999 we conduct our 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and
consummate the equity transaction contemplated with Apollo.
In the event we fail to meet these requirements, and we are not otherwise in
compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, Nasdaq may consider us for
continued listing on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market or may determine to delist us.
Further, if we consummate the equity transaction contemplated by the agreements
with Apollo Investment Fund IV, L.P. and the other purchasers but fail to obtain
stockholder approval of the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock issued in
such transaction into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as required by the
agreements with such purchasers and by the Nasdaq National Market listing rules,
we may be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. In the event we are unable
to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq National Market, we currently meet the
listing standards for, and would seek to apply for, listing on the Nasdaq Small
Cap Market. There can be no assurance, however, that such an application would
be approved. In the event we were unable to list our common stock on the Nasdaq
Small Cap Market or any other exchange at such time, there would be no
established trading market for our common stock except as may be established in
the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.'s OTC Bulletin Board Service
or in the "pink sheets," which would have a material adverse effect on the
liquidity and market price of our common stock.
<PAGE>
Year 2000 Issue
The "Year 2000 Issue" refers to the problem of many computer programs using the
last two digits to represent a year rather than four digits (i.e., "99" for
1999). Some of the computer programs used by the Company may have date-sensitive
software that may not operate properly when dealing with years past 1999, which
is when "00" will represent the year 2000. To the extent that this situation
exists, there is a potential for computer system failure or miscalculations,
which could cause a disruption of operation of that program. The problem is not
limited to computer software, since some equipment may have date-sensitive
processors that may not be able to properly use dates after the year 1999.
The Company has appointed a Year 2000 Task Force to perform an audit, which
consists of analysis and testing, to assess the scope of Rare Medium's risks and
bring its applications into compliance. Based upon conclusions from the analysis
and findings to date, the Company believes most of its applications and those of
its vendors, customers and clients are Year 2000 compliant, and that
expenditures to correct any deficiencies not yet identified would not be
significant. The Company is in the testing stage of its audit. However, no
assurance can be given that any or all of the Company's or third party systems
are or will be Year 2000 compliant or that the costs required to address the
Year 2000 issue or the impact of a failure to achieve substantial Year 2000
compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
Item 3 Market Risk Exposure
The financial position of the Company is subject to market risk associated with
interest rate movements on outstanding debt. The Company has debt obligations
with both fixed and variable terms. The carrying value of the Company's variable
rate debt obligations approximates fair value as the market rate is based on
prime. A 10 percent increase in the underlying interest rates would result in an
annual increase of interest expense of approximately $91,000.

Part II
Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Currently, the Company is not engaged in any material lawsuits.
Item 2. Changes in Securities.
On March 26, 1999, the Company issued 270,992 shares of common stock in a
private placement as consideration for the US$1.3 million acquisition price of
Hype. In accordance with the Hype Stock Purchase Agreement, the fair value of
the common stock was determined based on a value of US$4.64 per share, which
represented the average closing price per share for the ten trading days prior
to the Closing (as reported in the Wall Street Journal). The former shareholders
of Hype have pledged 67,748 of their 270,992 shares to the Company as security
for certain obligations and warranties of the former shareholders under the Hype
Stock Purchase Agreement. Included in these obligations is a requirement that
Hype shall have minimum retained earnings of Cdn$200,000 as of February 28,
1999. Shares not subject to claim by the Company will be released on the first
anniversary of the closing.
Effective January 28, 1999, the Company sold an 8% Convertible Debenture in the
principal amount of $3.5 million in a private placement to Capital Ventures
International ("CVI"), which together with accrued interest, is currently
convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $5.27 per share.
After July 27, 1999 such Convertible Debenture will be convertible at a variable
rate, but in no event less than $2.49 per share. In addition, the Company issued
a warrant to purchase 404,625 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$5.27 per share, subject to reset in certain circumstances. Subject to the
provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement with CVI, the Company may sell
an additional 8% convertible debenture in the principal amount of $2.5 million
at the same conversion rate, and an additional warrant to purchase 289,017
shares at the same exercise price upon satisfying certain closing conditions.
For additional information regarding this transaction, see the Company's Form
8-K filed on February 4, 1999.
