RARE MEDIUM GROUP, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 1999
(Unaudited)
(1) The Company
Rare Medium Group, Inc. ("the Company") conducts its operations primarily
through its subsidiaries, which are organized as two related lines of
business: the Internet solutions business of Rare Medium, Inc., and the
venture/incubator business. The Company is headquartered in New York with
offices throughout the United States, Canada, and abroad.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Rare Medium, Inc., the Company is a
provider of Internet solutions, offering Fortune 1000 companies and others
its services to develop e-commerce Internet strategies, improve business
processes, and develop marketing communications, branding strategies, and
interactive content using Internet-based technologies and solutions.
The Company broadened its initial Internet solutions-based strategy with
the advent of its venture/incubator business. The Company uses its
knowledge of the Internet and its existing development platform to incubate
new Internet companies emerging from Silicon Alley in New York, the Digital
Coast in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Detroit, Toronto and San Francisco,
all cities where the Company currently has a presence, as well as in
Silicon Valley and other areas. Rare Medium Group's incubator companies
include: liveuniverse.com, a "Micro-Portal Enabler;" iFace.com, a Voice
over Internet Protocol, or "VoIP" company that is "Voice Enabling" the
Internet; ChangeMusic.com, which participates in the emerging MP3
revolution, changing the way music is made, promoted, distributed, and
consumed; and Regards.com, an electronic greeting card company. The Company
also holds investments consistent with its strategy of developing
internet-based enterprises.
The Company restructured its former climate control systems business in
February 1998 and combined with Rare Medium, Inc. in April 1998. Since
April 1998 the Company acquired a number of other internet solutions
companies. In October 1998, the Company disposed of its former climate
control systems operations. In March 1999, the Company changed its name to
"Rare Medium Group, Inc."
(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
September 30, 1999 include the results of operations and financial position
of the Company on a consolidated basis.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of
September 30, 1998 include the results of operations of the Company and its
formerly 90% owned partnership with Engelhard Corporation, Fresh Air
Solutions ("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 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.
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. The Company has no future funding
responsibilities with respect to FAS and its 36% limited partnership
interest has no voting rights, and therefore, is accounting for the
remaining investment in FAS under the cost method. Consequently, the
results of operations of FAS for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1998 are accounted for as discontinued operations (see Note 8). 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) Acquisitions and Investments
During the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company issued
896,422 shares of unregistered common stock, valued at $9.0 million and
$1.0 million of cash, in private placements to various founders, investors
and employees as consideration or partial consideration for the
acquisitions of all or substantially all of certain businesses. Certain
shares issued in connection with these transactions are held in escrow as
security for covenants contained in the respective merger agreements. Each
of the above transactions has been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. The purchase prices, which totaled $10.5 million in stock,
cash and fees, were allocated to the relative fair values of the net
tangible assets, which consisted primarily of cash, accounts receivable,
property and equipment, accounts payable, and notes payable. Goodwill of
$10.2 million resulting from the transactions is being amortized over a
three-year period. The Company also made venture investments consistent
with its strategy of developing internet-based enterprises. The Company's
venture investments, accounted for under the cost and equity method of
accounting, range from 1% to 33% and amounted to $14.6 million.
(4) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Internal-Use Software
The Company has adopted the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP
98-1 provides guidance for determining whether computer software qualifies
as internal-use software and on accounting for the proceeds of computer
software originally developed or obtained for internal use and then
subsequently sold to the public. It also provides guidance on
capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or
obtained for internal use. The Company has adopted SOP 98-1 effective
January 1, 1999. The effect of the adoption of SOP 98-1 was not material.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which amends SFAS No. 133
and is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000.
(5) Equity Transactions
THE RARE MEDIUM NOTEHOLDERS. As part of the consideration for the Company's
April 15, 1998 acquisition of Rare Medium, Inc., the Company guaranteed a
secured promissory note (the "Rare Medium Note") in the original principal
amount of $22.2 million, payable to the original shareholders of Rare
Medium, Inc. Through June 30, 1999 the Company issued 3,914,866 shares of
common stock of the Company to certain noteholders in exchange for their
beneficial interest in $15.8 million of the original principal amount.
Effective August 12, 1999, the Company issued 70,000 shares of common stock
of the Company to a noteholder in exchange for their beneficial interest in
$0.5 million of the original principal amount. In connection with this
transaction the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million in non-cash
interest expense to the extent that the market value of the common stock on
the date of conversion exceeded the conversion price. At September 30,
1999, as a result of these transactions, there is a remaining principal
balance of $6.0 million payable under the Rare Medium Note, which bears
interest payable semi-annually at the prime rate, and is due in two equal
principal installments on April 15, 2000 and April 15, 2001 (see Note 8).
THE APOLLO SECURITIES PURCHASE. On June 4, 1999, the Company issued and
sold to Apollo Investment Fund IV, LP, Apollo Overseas Partners IV, LP and
AIF IV/RRRR LLC (collectively, the "Preferred Stockholders"), for an
aggregate purchase price of $87.0 million, 126,000 shares of the Company's
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"),
126,000 Series 1-A Warrants (the "Series 1-A Warrants"), 1,916,994 Series
2-A Warrants (the "Series 2-A Warrants"), 744,000 shares of the Company's
Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), 744,000 Series
1-B Warrants (the "Series 1-B Warrants") and 10,345,548 Series 2-B Warrants
(the "Series 2-B Warrants"). The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock accrue dividends at an annual rate of 7.5%. The Series A
and Series B Preferred Stock are subject to mandatory redemption on June
30, 2012.
Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement with the Preferred
Stockholders, at the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of its stockholders held
on August 19, 1999, the holders of common stock approved the conversion
(the "Apollo Conversion") of all of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series
1-B Warrants and Series 2-B Warrants, including such additional Series B
Securities that have been issued as dividends, into like amounts of Series
A Preferred Stock, Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants, respectively.
Pursuant to the approval, all Series B preferred stock and related warrants
were converted into Series A preferred stock and warrants. The Series A
securities are convertible into or exercisable for voting common stock
whereas the Series B securities were convertible into or exercisable for
non-voting common stock.
For further information regarding this transaction, see the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on June 21, 1999, and the Company's
Definitive Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting of Shareholders as filed
with the SEC on July 12, 1999.
(6) Income Taxes
The Company and the former stockholders of Rare Medium, Inc. and other
companies subsequently acquired by merger, 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, management believes the Company experienced an "ownership
change" as defined by section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code in 1999.
Accordingly, the utilization of the net operating loss carryforward to
offset future taxable income is subject to an annual limitation.
(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 diluted
earnings per share were the same for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 since the effect of all potential dilutive common shares
was antidilutive.
(8) Subsequent Events
Acquisitions and Investments
Subsequent to September 30, 1999, the Company completed additional venture
investments totaling $3.78 million in cash consistent with its
venture/incubator strategy.
The Rare Medium Noteholders
Effective October 10, 1999, the Company issued 398,703 shares of common
stock of the Company to two noteholders in exchange for their beneficial
interest in $4.0 of the original principal amount of the Rare Medium Note.
In connection with this transaction the Company recognized approximately
$0.1 million in non-cash interest expense to the extent that the market
value of the common stock on the date of conversion exceeded the conversion
price.
Investment in FAS
In October 1999, Engelhard Corporation, FAS and the Company entered into an
agreement by which Engelhard Corporation advanced cash and credit support to
FAS. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company's interest in FAS could be
diluted to 13% if all monies are advanced.
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 and
nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 purchased by
the Company in April 1998). For information related to the operations of
FAS during the first, second and third quarters of 1998, refer to the
Company's form 10-Q filed for the quarters ended.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1998
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $11.3 million, an
increase of $9.8 million or 644% over the three months ended September 30,
1998. The increase is the result of both organic growth and acquisitions,
which have facilitated increases in both the number and relative size of
client engagements. Sequential quarterly revenue increased approximately
120% from the second quarters revenue of $5.2 million. A substantial
portion of such increase was generated organically. The Company integrates
acquired Internet solutions' operations into the existing operations of
Rare Medium, Inc.
During the quarter, the Company dedicated otherwise billable resources to
development work for iFace.com, LiveUniverse.com, ChangeMusic.com and other
development stage projects as part of its strategy to incubate early stage
Internet companies. 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 Internet solutions 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.
Compensation Expense
Compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999
increased $7.8 million or 367% to $9.9 million from the same period in the
prior year. The increase is due primarily to personnel added in our
internet solutions business and incubator companies. The increase is also
due to the Company's continued investment in building infrastructure to
support the anticipated long-term growth of the Company. 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 Internet solutions business and the hiring
of additional employees associated with its venture/incubator strategy. The
Company also expects to hire additional personnel and increase its spending
for marketing and other infrastructure needs.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30,
1999 was $5.6 million. This was an increase of $4.8 million or 623% over
the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase is principally a
result of the substantial increase in personnel and number of facilities as
the Company expanded into new markets in Toronto, Dallas, San Francisco,
San Antonio, Detroit, Sydney, Houston, and Atlanta as well as the cost
associated with required resources to implement our venture/incubator
strategy.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999
were $0.7 million, which is an increase of approximately $0.6 million over
the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase is primarily the
result of implementation of a national marketing program to build the "Rare
Medium" brand. The expense was primarily the result of an advertising
campaign for Rare Medium, Inc. during the three months ended September 30,
1999. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as the Company
continues to build brand awareness.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expenses substantially consist of the
amortization of goodwill and acquisition costs. For the three months ended
September 30, 1999 the $2.6 million increase in expense resulted primarily
from the Company's acquisitions during 1999. The Company anticipates that
expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets will increase in
future periods as it continues to make acquisition.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Interest Income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 includes $0.8
million relating to the income earned on the net proceeds received with
respect to the Apollo Securities Purchase. This was partially offset by
interest expense related to the Rare Medium Note and $0.1 million of
non-cash interest expense related to the conversion of a portion of the
Rare Medium Note by certain holders to common stock. The interest expense
related to the Rare Medium Note represents the accrued interest on the
Company's note payable to the original Rare Medium, Inc. stockholders,
payable in a combination of cash or common stock of the Company, at the
Company's election, subject to some restrictions.
Net Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded a loss
of $4.0 million, excluding $6.8 million in amortization and depreciation.
Including these charges, the net loss was $10.8 million. The loss was
primarily due to the factors described in "Compensation Expense," "General
and Administrative Expense," and "Sales and Marketing Expense."
Included in net loss attributable to common shareholders of $14.3 million
was $3.5 million of non-cash dividends related to issuance of the Series A
Preferred Stock. These dividends included non-cash dividends that were
accrued related to the payment-in-kind ("PIK") dividends payable quarterly
on the Series A Preferred Stock, and to the accretion of the $29.9 million
carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock up to the $87.0 million
face redemption amount over a period of 13 years.
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.

Revenue
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $19.1 million, an
increase of $15.5 million or 433% over the nine months ended September 30,
1998. The increase is the result of both organic growth and acquisitions,
which have facilitated increases in both the number and relative size of
client engagements. All of the acquired Internet Solutions companies'
operations have been or are being integrated into the existing operations
of Rare Medium, Inc.
Compensation Expense
Compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased
$14.2 million or 316% to $18.6 million from the same period in the prior
year. The increase is due primarily to personnel added in our internet
solutions business and incubator companies. The increase is also due to the
Company's continued investment in building infrastructure to support
anticipated long-term growth and to a $1.5 million bonus paid in June 1999.
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 Internet solutions business and the hiring of employees associated with
its venture/incubator strategy. The Company also expects to hire additional
personnel and increase its spending for marketing and other infrastructure
needs.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
were $1.3 million, which is an increase of approximately $1.2 million or
775% over the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase is
primarily the result of implementation of a national marketing program to
build the "Rare Medium" brand and an advertising campaign for Rare Medium,
Inc. during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. We expect sales and
marketing expenses to increase as the Company continues to build brand
awareness.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 was $10.0 million. This was an increase of $7.5 million or 301% over
the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase is principally a
result of the substantial increase in personnel and number of facilities as
the Company expanded into new markets in Toronto, Dallas, San Francisco,
San Antonio, Detroit, Sydney, Houston, and Atlanta as well as the cost
associated with required resources to implement our venture/incubator
strategy and the costs associated with generating the substantial revenue
increase from 1998.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expenses substantially consist of the
amortization of goodwill and acquisition costs. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 the $8.7 million increase in expense resulted primarily
from the Company's acquisitions during 1999. The Company anticipates that
expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets will increase in
future periods as it continues to make acquisitions.
Interest (Expense) Income, Net
Interest (expense) income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
includes $0.2 million of interest expense related to the Rare Medium Note,
$1.1 million of interest expense related to the conversion of a portion of
the Rare Medium Note by certain holders to common stock, and $1.1 million
related to the Capital Ventures International ("CVI") convertible
debentures. The interest expense related to the Rare Medium Note represents
the accrued interest on the Company's note payable to the original Rare
Medium, Inc. stockholders, payable in a combination of cash or common stock
of the Company, at the Company's election, subject to some restrictions.
The CVI expense includes $1.0 million for the amortization of the debt
discount and the beneficial conversion feature. This was partially offset
by interest income of $1.0 million relating to the income earned on the net
proceeds received from the Apollo Securities Purchase.
Net Loss
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded a net
loss of $12.3 million, excluding $17.0 million in amortization and
depreciation. Including these charges, the net loss was $29.2 million. The
loss was primarily due to the factors described in "Compensation Expense,"
"General and Administrative Expense," and "Sales and Marketing Expense."
Included in net loss attributable to common shareholders of $63.8 million
was $34.5 million of non-cash deemed dividends related to issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock. These dividends included a one-time non-cash
deemed dividend resulting from the difference between the market price of
the Company's common stock and the conversion price of the Series A
Preferred Stock on the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. In
addition to this non-cash deemed dividend, dividends were accrued related
to the PIK dividends payable quarterly on the Series A Preferred Stock, and
to the accretion of the $29.9 million carrying amount of the Series A
Preferred Stock up to the $87.0 million face redemption amount over 13
years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had $59.4 million in cash and equivalents at September 30,
1999, which is discussed below. This amount is substantially a result of
the proceeds received from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and
related warrants.
Cash used in operating activities was $15.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and resulted primarily from the net loss of $29.2
million, offset by non-cash charges of $19.3 million (which consists of
depreciation, amortization and non-cash interest charges) and changes in
working capital.
Cash used in investing activities was $20.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, which primarily consists of the purchase of
businesses and venture investments of $15.8 million, and capital
expenditures of $4.3 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 $94.5 million for the nine months
ending September 30, 1999. This consisted primarily of issuance of a $6.0
million convertible debenture to CVI (which was subsequently converted into
common stock), $83.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock as discussed below, and the exercise of warrants
and options that yielded $7.1 million to the Company, partially offset by
repayment of borrowings totaling $1.6 million.
THE RARE MEDIUM NOTEHOLDERS. The Company issued 1,033,052 shares of common
stock of the Company to certain noteholders in exchange for their
beneficial interest in $4.5 million of the original principal amount of the
Rare Medium Note. In 1999, the Company recognized approximately $1.1 million
of non-cash interest expense related to the conversion to the extent the
market value of the stock on the date of conversion exceeded the conversion
price. On September 30, 1999, as a result of these transactions, there is a
remaining principal balance of $6.0 million payable under the Rare Medium
Note, which bears interest payable semi-annually at the prime rate, and is
due in two equal principal installments on April 15, 2000 and April 15,
2001.
THE APOLLO SECURITIES PURCHASE. On June 4, 1999, the Company issued and
sold to Apollo Investment Fund IV, LP, Apollo Overseas Partners IV, LP and
AIF IV/RRRR LLC (collectively, the "Preferred Stockholders"), for an
aggregate purchase price of $87.0 million, 126,000 shares of the Company's
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"),
126,000 Series 1-A Warrants (the "Series 1-A Warrants"), 1,916,994 Series
2-A Warrants (the "Series 2-A Warrants"), 744,000 shares of the Company's
Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), 744,000 Series
1-B Warrants (the "Series 1-B Warrants") and 10,345,548 Series 2-B Warrants
(the "Series 2-B Warrants"). The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock accrue dividends at an annual rate of 7.5%. The Series A
and Series B Preferred Stock are subject to mandatory redemption on June
30, 2012.
Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement with the Preferred
Stockholders, at the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of its stockholders held
on August 19, 1999, the holders of common stock approved the conversion
(the "Apollo Conversion") of all of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series
1-B Warrants and Series 2-B Warrants, including such additional Series B
Securities that have been issued as dividends, into like amounts of Series
A Preferred Stock, Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants, respectively.
Pursuant to the approval, all Series B preferred stock and related warrants
were converted into Series A preferred stock and warrants. The Series A
securities are convertible into or exercisable for voting common stock
whereas the Series B securities were convertible into or exercisable for
non-voting common stock.
For further information regarding this transaction, see the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on June 21, 1999, and the Company's
Definitive Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting of Shareholders as filed
with the SEC on July 12, 1999.
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 assessment
of the Company's readiness for Year 2000. This assessment includes quality
assurance testing of our internally developed software and applications;
quality assurance testing of our overall information technology systems;
contacting third-party vendors and licensors of material software and
services that are both directly and indirectly related to the delivery of
our products and services; assessing our repair and replacement
requirements; and creating contingency plans in the event of Year 2000
failures.
We performed an initial Year 2000 simulation on our applications and
systems during the second quarter of 1999 to test system readiness, and
found no relevant failures. We completed the final simulation tests in
October 1999. Our material software component vendors and our Internet
service provider have informed us that the products we use are currently
Year 2000 compliant. We purchased all of our software and hardware within
the past two years, and therefore we do not have legacy systems that have
been historically identified to have Year 2000 issues. We are applying all
known vendor patches for relevant software to come to compliance with
vendor defined Year 2000 standards.
To date we have not incurred any material costs in identifying or
evaluating Year 2000 compliance issues. Based on our assessment to date, we
do not anticipate that costs associated with remediating our non-compliant
systems will be material. We expect that our existing employees or
consultants will perform any significant work pertaining to Year 2000
compliance.
We are not currently aware of any Year 2000 compliance problems relating to
our applications or our systems that would have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations or financial condition. However, we
may discover Year 2000 compliance problems in our technology that will
require substantial revisions. In addition, we may need to revise or
replace third party software, hardware or services incorporated into our
applications and systems, all of which could be time consuming and
expensive. If we fail to fix our technology or to fix or replace third
party software, hardware or services on a timely basis, the result could be
lost revenues, increased operating costs, the loss of customers and other
business interruptions, any of which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover,
the failure to adequately address Year 2000 compliance issues in our
applications and systems could result in claims of mismanagement,
misrepresentation or breach of contract and related litigation, which could
be costly and time-consuming to defend. In addition, we cannot be sure that
governmental agencies, utility companies, Internet access companies, third
party service providers and others outside our control will be Year 2000
compliant. The failure by such entities to be Year 2000 compliant could
result in a systematic failure beyond our control, such as a prolonged
Internet, telecommunications or electrical failure, which could also
prevent us from delivering our products and services to our customers,
decrease the use of the Internet or prevent users from accessing the
websites of companies with whom we have entered into business alliances,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
We are in the process of finalizing contingency plans in case of Year 2000
disruptions. We are taking into account the results of our Year 2000
simulation testing and the responses received from third party vendors and
service providers in determining the nature and extent of any contingency
plans. We completed our system tests in October 1999, and expect to
complete our contingency plans by November 1999.
Based on our assessment completed to date, we believe that the reasonably
likely worst case scenario with respect to Year 2000 issues could be:
- portions of client applications may be down while programmers fix our
systems or the systems of ISPs or other third parties;
- temporary data loss could occur while backup copies of data are
retrieved from tape;
- lengthy outages could occur while programmers work to repair or
restore corrupted or missing database files; and
- our internal corporate, billing and accounting systems may be down
while programmers fix our system.
Although these events could have an adverse effect on our business in the
short term, we do not believe that Year 2000 issues will materially and
adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition
over the long term. While we will have system engineers on-site over the
Year 2000 date change, we can give no assurance that all expectations will
be realized.
Item 3 Market Risk Exposure
The Company believes that its market risk exposures associated with its
outstanding debt is immaterial since the carrying value of the Company's
variable rate debt obligations approximates fair value as the market rate
is based on prime. The Company's fixed rate debt obligations are not
material.

THE RARE MEDIUM NOTEHOLDERS. Effective August 12, 1999, the Company issued

for beneficial interest in $458,519 of the original principal amount. In

million in non-cash interest expense to the extent that the market value of
the common stock on the date of conversion exceeded the conversion price.
On September 30, 1999, as a result of these transactions, there is a
remaining principal balance of $5,980,569 payable under the Rare Medium

including such additional Series B Securities that have been issued as

Warrants and Series 2-A Warrants, respectively. Pursuant to the approval,
all Series B preferred stock and related warrants were converted into

described in this paragraph were issued in reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933.

upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933.
