          -----------------------------------------

     See Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4.  The exhibits filed with the
Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 29, 1999 are incorporated

     (b)  Pro forma financial information:
          -------------------------------

  On August 18, 1999, CMGI, Inc. ("the Company" or "CMGI") acquired an 81.495%
equity stake in the former AltaVista division of Digital Equipment Corporation
("the AltaVista Business") from Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq) and its
wholly-owned subsidiary Digital Equipment Corporation ("Digital"), for
consideration preliminarily valued at approximately $2.420 billion, including
approximately $4 million of direct costs of the acquisition.  The AltaVista
Business includes the assets and liabilities constituting the AltaVista Internet
search service ("AltaVista Search"), which was a division of Digital, and also
includes former Compaq/Digital wholly-owned subsidiaries Zip2 Corporation and
Shopping.com.  In consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued
18,994,975 shares of its common stock valued at approximately $1.816 billion,
18,090.45 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock (which were converted into
1,809,045 shares of CMGI common stock on October 28, 1999) valued at
approximately $173 million and promissory notes for an aggregate principal
amount of $220 million.  Additionally, AltaVista Business and CMGI stock options
issued in the transaction, preliminarily valued at approximately $203 million
and $4 million, respectively, have been included in the purchase consideration.

  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (the
"Pro Forma Statement of Operations") for the year ended July 31, 1999 gives
effect to the acquisition of the AltaVista Business as if it had occurred on
August 1, 1998.  The Pro Forma Statement of Operations is based on historical
results of operations of the Company for the year ended July 31, 1999 and the
historical results of the components of the AltaVista Business as follows: the
carve-out historical results of AltaVista Search and the historical results of
Zip2 Corporation for the year ended June 30, 1999 and the historical results of
Shopping.com for the year ended July 31, 1999.  The unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 1999 (the "Pro Forma Balance
Sheet") gives effect to the acquisition of the AltaVista Business as if the
acquisition had occurred on that date.  The Pro Forma Balance Sheet is based on
the historical balance sheet of the Company as of July 31, 1999 and the
historical balance sheet of the AltaVista Business as of June 30, 1999.  The Pro
Forma Statements of Operations and Pro Forma Balance Sheet and the accompanying
notes (collectively the "Pro Forma Financial Information") should be read in
conjunction with and are qualified by the historical financial statements of the
Company and notes thereto.

  The Pro Forma Financial Information is intended for informational purposes
only and is not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or
future results of operations of the consolidated company after the acquisition
of the AltaVista Business, or of the financial position or results of operations
of the consolidated company that would have actually occurred had the
acquisition of the AltaVista Business been effected as of the dates described
above.

 Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information



(1)  Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

     (A)  The Company acquired an 81.495% equity stake in the AltaVista Business
          for consideration preliminarily valued at approximately $2.420 billion
          on August 18, 1999, including costs of acquisition (see description of
          the components of the consideration above). The following represents
          the allocation of the purchase price over 81.495% of the historical
          net book values of the acquired assets and liabilities of the
          AltaVista Business as of the date of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, and
          is for illustrative purposes only. The actual purchase price
          allocation will be based on fair values of the acquired assets and
          liabilities as of the actual acquisition date (August 18, 1999).
          Assuming the transaction occurred on July 31, 1999, the allocation
          would have been as follows (in thousands):

               Other non-current liabilities                                           (3,106)
               Goodwill and other intangible assets                                 2,388,995
                                                                                  -----------
               Purchase price                                                     $ 2,420,000
                                                                                  ===========
</TABLE>

          The pro forma adjustment reconciles the historical balance sheet of
          the AltaVista Business to the allocated purchase price above and
          includes the accrual of approximately $4.0 million of estimated
          acquisition costs to be paid by CMGI. The cash and cash equivalents of
          the AltaVista Business as of August 18, 1999 were retained by Compaq
          at the date of acquisition and, accordingly, the pro forma adjustment
          and the allocation of the purchase price as of July 31, 1999 include
          the effect of this event.

     (B)  The pro forma adjustment includes $477.8 million in amortization of
          goodwill and other intangible assets (per the allocation in "(A)"
          above) that would have been recorded during the period covered by the
          Pro Forma Statement of Operations. The adjustment amount has been
          reduced by $132.8 million, which represents 81.495% of the
          amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in the
          historical financial statements of the AltaVista Business. The
          historical financial statements of the AltaVista Business represented
          in the Pro Forma Statement of Operations include amortization of
          goodwill and other intangible assets totaling $163.0 million. These
          amounts relate to Compaq's acquisition of Digital in June 1998 and
          Compaq/Digital's acquisitions of Shopping.com and Zip2 Corporation in
          January 1999 and April 1999, respectively. The pro forma adjustment
          also includes an increase in expense of $24.9 million, which
          represents 18.505% of the incremental amount of goodwill and other
          intangible assets amortization that would have been recorded in the
          historical financial statements of the AltaVista Business if
          Compaq/Digital's acquisitions of Shopping.com and Zip2 Corporation had
          occurred on August 1, 1998.

          The pro forma adjustment is based on the assumption that the entire
          amount identified as goodwill and other intangible assets in CMGI's
          acquisition of the AltaVista Business will be amortized on a straight-
          line basis over a five-year period. The Company has not yet completed
          the valuation of the actual intangible assets acquired at August 18,
          1999. When completed, certain amounts identified as intangible assets
          may be amortized over periods other than the five-year period
          represented in the Pro Forma Statement of Operations. Additionally, a
          portion of the purchase price may be identified as in-process research
          and development. This amount, if any, will be charged to operating
          results in the Company's fiscal 2000 when the acquisition accounting
          and valuation are determined. The Pro Forma Statement of Operations
          does not give effect to any potential in-process research and
          development charge related to the acquisition of the AltaVista
          Business.

     (C)  The pro forma adjustment is a reduction in expense of $8.9 million,
          which relates to stock-based compensation charges recorded in the
          historical financial statements of the AltaVista Business. The value
          of the stock options to which these charges related have been included
          in the calculation of the purchase consideration. Accordingly, on a
          pro forma basis, these expenses have been eliminated.

     (D)  The pro forma adjustment reflects the interest expense that would have
          been recorded by CMGI related to the $220 million of aggregate
          principal amounts of notes payable issued in the acquisition of the
          AltaVista Business. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of
          10.5%.

 Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
                                  (Continued)



     (E)  The pro forma adjustment reflects the 18.505% minority interest in the
          results of operations of the AltaVista Business assuming that CMGI's
          acquisition of 81.495% of the AltaVista Business occurred on August 1,
          1998.

     (F)  The pro forma adjustment reflects the income tax benefit that would
          have been recorded by the Company in its consolidated statement of
          operations related to the AltaVista Business' net loss and the income
          tax effect, if any, of the other pre-tax pro forma adjustments. The
          pro forma adjustment assumes that the Company would be able to
          recognize a federal tax benefit for the amortization of goodwill and
          other intangible assets related to the acquisition of the AltaVista
          Business. The pro forma adjustment also assumes that the Company would
          record a valuation allowance for all state tax benefits associated
          with the AltaVista Business. Actual effective tax rates may differ
          from pro forma rates reflected herein.

     (G)  The pro forma basic income from continuing operations per common
          share is computed by dividing the income from continuing operations
          available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
          of common shares outstanding.

          The calculation of the weighted average number of common shares
          outstanding assumes that the 18,994,975 shares of the Company's common
          stock issued in the acquisition of the AltaVista Business were
          outstanding for the entire period. The calculation of the weighted
          average number of common shares outstanding also assumes that the
          18,090.45 shares of the Company's Series D preferred stock were
          converted into 1,809,045 shares of the Company's common stock on
          October 11, 1998 (the 71st day after the assumed acquisition date of
          August 1, 1998) and that such common shares were outstanding for the
          entire period thereafter. The Series D preferred shares were converted
          into common stock on October 28, 1999 (the 71st day after the actual
          acquisition date of August 18, 1999).

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Description of the AltaVista Business

          The AltaVista Business represents the AltaVista operation, including
Shopping.com and Zip2 from their respective acquisition dates.

          AltaVista provides Internet search and navigation technology, enabling
the delivery of information through broad-based search capabilities. AltaVista's
objective is to deliver the most personally relevant Internet results faster
than anyone else on the Internet. With leverage from numerous partnerships,
AltaVista is extending its services to delivering highly personalized e-Commerce
offerings and local content through an integrated network of new media and e-
Commerce partners.

          Effective February 15, 1999, Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq")
completed a cash tender offer for Shopping.com, an online retailer that offers
users an array of consumer products to buy. This acquisition is intended to be
included in the AltaVista Business. Accordingly, Shopping.com's operations are
included in these combined financial statements from the date of acquisition.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Shopping.com is an Internet-based electronic retailer marketing a broad range of
products to both consumers and trade customers. Shopping.com employs proprietary
information systems along with industry software to provide its customers with
access to an automated marketplace of products, which consist of inventories of
multiple manufacturers and distributors, price comparisons, detailed product
descriptions, delivery status of products ordered and back order information.

          Effective April 1, 1999, Compaq acquired Zip2, an Internet
provider of localized editorial content, consumer information and advertising
products by newspapers and other local media companies. This acquisition is
intended to be included in the AltaVista Business. Accordingly, Zip2's
operations are included in these combined financial statements from the date of
acquisition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

          Zip2 supports the delivery of localized editorial content, consumer
information and advertising products by newspapers and other local media
companies through a comprehensive suite of Web development solutions and service
offerings.


Basis of presentation

          The financial statements of AltaVista are derived from the historic
books and records of Digital Equipment Corporation ("Digital") through June 11,
1998. As a result of the acquisition of Digital by Compaq on June 11, 1998, the
financial statements of AltaVista after the acquisition date are derived from
the historic books and records of Compaq and reflect the "pushdown" of Compaq's
bases in the assets and liabilities. The operating results and financial
position of Shopping.com and Zip2 are included from their respective dates of
acquisition and reflect the "pushdown" of Compaq's bases in the assets and
liabilities.

          The statement of operations includes all revenues and costs directly
attributable to the AltaVista Business including charges for shared facilities,
functions and services used by the AltaVista Business and provided by Digital or
Compaq. Certain costs and expenses have been allocated based on management's
estimates of the cost of services provided to the AltaVista Business by Digital
or Compaq. Such costs include corporate research and engineering expenses,
corporate selling and marketing expenses and corporate general and
administrative expenses. Such allocations and charges are based on either a
direct cost pass-through or a percentage of total costs for the services
provided based on factors such as headcount or the specific level of activity
directly related to such costs (i.e., direct spending). Management believes that
these allocations are based on assumptions that are reasonable under the
circumstances. However, these allocations and estimates are not necessarily
indicative of the costs and expenses which would have resulted if the AltaVista
Business had been operated as a separate entity. The total amount of such
allocations included in the accompanying statements of operations for the
periods January 1, 1998 to June 11, 1998, June 12, 1998 to June 30, 1998, and
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $1.0 million, $0.2 million, and $0.7
million, respectively.

          The AltaVista Business has incurred recurring losses from operations
through June 30, 1999. Compaq has committed to provide the funds required for
the conduct of the AltaVista Business' operations at least through December 31,
1999 or to the date, if earlier, on which it ceases to be the controlling
shareholder. The historical operating results may not be indicative of future
results.

          On June 29, 1999, Compaq announced it entered into an agreement to
sell the AltaVista Business to CMGI, Inc. ("CMGI").

                                  (Continued)



Cash and cash equivalents

          When cash received from operations by the AltaVista Business is swept
by Compaq or Digital it is recorded as reductions of net contribution from
owner; disbursements made by Compaq or Digital on behalf of the AltaVista
Business are recorded as increases to net contribution from owner. Effective as
of the date of the acquisitions of Shopping.com and Zip2, these combined
financial statements include the cash and cash equivalent balances carried by
Shopping.com and Zip2.

          The AltaVista Business considers all highly-liquid investments with a
remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

Advertising and service revenue

          The AltaVista Business' revenues are derived primarily from short-term
advertising contracts negotiated by DoubleClick in accordance with the terms of
the Procurement and Trafficking Agreement (the "Agreement"). Prior to January 1,
1999, the AltaVista Business recorded as revenues its contractual percentage of
the total revenues generated from the delivery of advertisements. Effective
January 1, 1999, the AltaVista Business renegotiated the Agreement whereby the
AltaVista Business may now form its internal sales force to sell advertisements
directly to advertisers. DoubleClick only retains the exclusivity for delivering
through its proprietary computer systems the advertisements negotiated either by
DoubleClick or the AltaVista Business. Under the new agreement, the AltaVista
Business bears the economic risk of the transactions. Accordingly, the AltaVista
Business now records the full sales amount as revenue upon delivery of
advertisements. Amounts payable to DoubleClick, for commissions and service fees
are reported as selling and marketing expenses. The agreement is for a term of
three years from the effective date and can be cancelled by either party with a
90 day notice period.

          As a result of the acquisition of Zip2, these combined financial
statements now include revenues from the delivery of Web development solutions,
Web software applications hosting, technical and sales-related consulting
services and from a share of advertising revenues generated by newspaper and
other local media customers. Revenues from the delivery of Web development
solutions combined with consulting, Web hosting and other continuing service
obligations are recognized ratably as service revenues over the contract terms
which range from one to six years. Revenues from technical and sales-related
consulting services are recognized as services are provided. Provisions for
contractual adjustments and losses are recorded in the period such items are
identified. Deferred revenues represent the amount of cash received or invoices
rendered prior to revenue recognition. Revenues from contractual rights to share
in advertising revenues generated by newspaper and other local media customers
are recognized as advertising revenues as the fees are earned and become
receivable from the customer. Amounts due to newspaper and other local media
customers from contractual rights to share in advertising revenues generated by
Zip2 are recognized as costs of revenues in the period the related revenues are
earned.

                                  (Continued)


Product revenue

          As a result of the acquisition of Shopping.com, these combined
financial statements now include revenues from the sales of consumer products.
Shopping.com recognizes revenue for such transactions at the time the vendor
ships the product to the customer and provides an allowance for sales returns
based on historical experience. To date, sales returns have not been material.

          For the six months ended June 30, 1999, approximately 35% of
Shopping.com revenues represented sales of Compaq PC's to Free PC.com, an
AltaVista Business investee (see Note 5). Based on Compaq pricing, Shopping.com
recognized a nominal gross profit on such revenues.


Goodwill and other intangible assets

          Intangible assets consist of trademarks and goodwill resulting from
the "pushdown" of the fair market value of the intangible assets attributable to
the AltaVista Business as recorded on Compaq's books as part of the acquisition
of Digital and from the acquisitions of Shopping.com and Zip2. Goodwill and
other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives of three years.

Impairment of long-lived assets

          The AltaVista Business reviews for impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted
future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition is less than its carrying amount. The AltaVista Business has not
identified any such impairment losses.

Investments

          The AltaVista Business accounts for investments in marketable equity
securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities." Under SFAS No. 115, marketable equity securities
are classified as available-for-sale.

          Starting in 1998, Compaq obtained equity interests in several
privately held companies which are intended to be included in the AltaVista
Business. These investments resulted in the AltaVista Business owning less than
20% of the respective investees and are carried at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. For these investments, the AltaVista Business' policy is to
regularly review the assumptions underlying the operating performance and cash
flow forecasts in assessing the carrying values. The AltaVista Business tests
for impairment losses on investments when events and circumstances indicate that
such assets might be impaired. To date, no such impairment has been recorded.

          Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the
unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in owner's net investment.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than
temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in results of
operations. At June 30, 1999, the AltaVista Business held available-for-sale
securities with estimated fair values of $1.8 million consisting of gross
unrealized gains of $1.8 million and a cost basis of $0.

Interim results

          The interim combined financial statements as of June 30, 1999 and for
the periods January 1, 1998 to June 11, 1998, and June 12, 1998 to June 30,
1998, and for the six months ended June 30, 1999, have been prepared using the
same accounting principles as were used in preparing the financial statements as
of December 31, 1998 and for the period from January 1, 1998 to June 11, 1998
and from June 12, 1998 to December 31, 1998, respectively, and in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the AltaVista Business' financial
position, results of operations and cash flows as of June 30, 1999 and for the
periods January 1, 1998 to June 11, 1998, and June 12, 1998 to June 30, 1998,
and for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The results for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1999.

Recent accounting pronouncements

          In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." The new standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The AltaVista
Business does not expect SFAS No. 133 to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

Compaq acquisition

          On June 11, 1998, Compaq consummated its acquisition of Digital. The
purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
related to the AltaVista Business based on Compaq's estimates of fair value. The
fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on a valuation
prepared by an independent third party appraisal company and included
intangibles aggregating $274.1 million (goodwill of $255.6 million and
trademarks of $18.5 million).

Shopping.com and Zip2 acquisitions

          Effective February 15, 1999, Compaq completed its acquisition of
Shopping.com which is intended to be contributed to the AltaVista Business. The
aggregate purchase price of $256.9 million consisted of $218.9 million in cash,
the issuance of Compaq employee stock options with a fair value of $32.0 million
and other acquisition costs of $ 6.0 million. The transaction was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of the
acquired entity and the estimated fair market values of the acquired assets and
liabilities have been included in the AltaVista Business' combined financial
statements from the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price including
liabilities assumed has been allocated to the assets acquired, consisting
primarily of goodwill of approximately $271 million that is being amortized over
a three year period. The purchase price allocation was based on the results of
an independent third party appraisal.

          At the time of the acquisition by Compaq, Shopping.com was a defendant
in various litigation matters for which Compaq agreed to assume any ultimate
liability for such matters. Any unrecorded costs incurred in connection with
resolving these matters will be added to the purchase accounting allocation or
charged to expense. An equal amount will be recorded as a capital contribution
from Compaq.

          Effective April 1, 1999, Compaq completed its acquisition of Zip2
which is intended to be contributed to the AltaVista Business. The aggregate
purchase price of $340.9 million consisted of $307.2 million in cash, the
issuance of AltaVista employee stock options with a fair value of $27.7 million
and other acquisition costs of $6.0 million. The results of operations of the
acquired entity and the estimated fair market values of the acquired assets and
liabilities have been included in the AltaVista Business' combined financial
statements from the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price including
liabilities assumed has been allocated to the assets acquired, consisting
primarily of goodwill of approximately $335 million that is being amortized over
a three year period. The purchase price allocation was based on the results of
an independent third party appraisal.

NOTE 3 - UNEARNED STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     In connection with certain stock option grants during the six months ended
June 30, 1999, the AltaVista Business recognized unearned stock compensation of
approximately $169 million, which was scheduled to be amortized over the four
year vesting periods of the related options. The CMGI transaction will result in
the immediate vesting of approximately 2.2 million options and, therefore, an
acceleration of expense recognition. Amortization expense recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 1999 totaled approximately $8.9 million of the
approximately $49 million anticipated total expense recognition through the date
of consummating the CMGI transaction. Stock options for approximately 9.8
million shares of AltaVista common stock were outstanding on June 30, 1999.

Note 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

CMGI acquisition

     On August 18, 1999, CMGI completed its acquisition of the AltaVista
Business including Shopping.com and Zip2 in a transaction under which Compaq
retained less than a 20% minority interest.

iAtlas merger

     On October 22, 1999, CMGI merged its recently acquired iAtlas subsidiary
into the AltaVista Business in a transaction valued at approximately $27
million. Since its inception in April 1998, the operating results and net assets
of iAtlas have not been significant in relation to the AltaVista Business.

Zip2

     On October 20, 1999, the AltaVista Business distributed its investment in
Zip2 to CMGI and Compaq according to their respective ownership percentages but
retained certain Zip2 assets and technology rights. Operations of Zip2 after
that date will not be included in the results of operations of the AltaVista
Business.

Investment

     In July 1999, the AltaVista Business purchased 2,171,809 shares of Series C
preferred stock of 1st Up.com Corporation for approximately $2,500,000 resulting
in the AltaVista Business owning less than 20% of the investee.

Litigation

     On October 15, 1999, AltaVista and Digital Equipment Corporation
("Digital") were served a complaint by One Zero Media, Inc. ("One Zero"). The
suit alleges breach of a Web Services Agreement entered into in May 1998 between
One Zero and Digital. AltaVista and Digital have not yet filed their response to
the complaint. The amount of any liability which might ultimately exist cannot
reasonably be estimated and no provision for loss has been made in the
accompanying combined financial statements. AltaVista and Digital intend to
vigorously defend the suit.
