Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

    Learn2.com, Inc. together with its subsidiaries ("Learn2.com") is a Learning Service Provider ("LSP") for corporate, government and individual clients. Our offerings include engaging learning and training products delivered on physical media and online and comprehensive services designed to solve our customers' problems. We also provide permission e-mail marketing and tracking services to companies that engage in commerce and advertising on the Internet as well as other companies that have a need for these services. During the third quarter, as a result of the realignment of the responsibilities of certain senior executives, management began to manage the business in two operating segments: Learning Services and Broadcast Messaging Services.

Basis of Presentation

    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to interim periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

    The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Learn2.com's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In June 1999, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 137, which amended the effective date of SFAS No. 133—Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Learn2.com is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 by January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and such hedge accounting treatment are elected. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 133 to have a material impact on Learn2.com's financial position or results of operations.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB No. 101 expresses the views of the SEC staff in applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain revenue

recognition issues. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB No. 101B to defer the effective date of SAB No. 101 until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 101 but management does not believe that it will have a material impact on Learn2.com's financial position or results of operations.

    In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. ("FIN") 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation—an Interpretation of APB 25." FIN 44 specifically answers questions on the implementation of APB 25 that were derived from a survey of members of the Emerging Issues Task Force and the task force on stock compensation. FIN 44 became effective on July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that occur after December 15, 1998. To the extent that FIN 44 covers events occurring during the period after December 15, 1998, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying FIN 44 are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, FIN 44 will have on Learn2.com's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2—CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

    On March 10, 2000, Learn2.com sold a three year $10.0 million 6% convertible debenture and a warrant to purchase 337,268 shares of common stock to an investor.

    The debenture is convertible into 1,666,667 shares of common stock and is convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $6.00 per share (which approximated the market value of Learn2.com's common stock on March 10, 2000) and is subject to anti-dilution provisions. Under certain conditions, the debenture automatically converts after one year. The conversion price of the debenture may be reset to the market value of Learn2.com's common stock on each of the first and second anniversaries of the issuance of the convertible debenture if the price of Learn2.com's common stock declines below the initial or adjusted conversion price on such anniversaries. In the event that a reduction in the conversion price does occur, Learn2.com will be required to record additional interest expense as a result of this beneficial conversion feature.

    The warrant to purchase 337,268 shares of Learn2.com's common stock is exercisable for a five-year period at $7.41 per share. The fair value of the warrant of $1.0 million has been recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the life of the related debt.

NOTE 3—SEGMENT INFORMATION

    Based on the criteria established by SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," Learn2.com operates in two principal business segments: Learning Services and Broadcast Messaging Services. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Management evaluates the performance of each segment on their respective revenues and gross profits. Learn2.com does not allocate corporate overhead costs between the two segments. Management does not believe that allocating these expenses is material in evaluating each segment's performance.

NOTE 4—SALE OF DESIGN CAD SOFTWARE PRODUCT LINE

    On March 8, 2000, Learn2.com sold the DesignCAD(TM) software product line for $800,000 in cash to Websoft, Inc., a privately held company, the president of which is a former employee of Learn2.com. Learn2.com recognized a loss on this transaction of approximately $14,000 that is included in interest and other, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

NOTE 5—LEGAL

    On May 22, 1998, a lawsuit was filed as a putative class action against Learn2.com's subsidiary ViaGrafix Corporation and certain of its officers and directors claiming violations of the Securities Act of 1933 for alleged misrepresentations and omissions in the prospectus issued in connection with ViaGrafix's initial public offering made in March 1998. Learn2.com believes the lawsuit is without merit.

    Learn2.com is involved in other claims and lawsuits that are generally incidental to its business. Learn2.com is vigorously contesting and pursuing all such matters and believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on Learn2.com's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

    The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto and in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Learn2.com's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

    In order to keep our stockholders informed of Learn2.com's future plans and objectives, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports and statements issued by Learn2.com from time-to-time contain, among other things, certain statements concerning Learn2.com's future plans, objectives, performance, intentions and expectations that are or may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements." The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "project" and similar expressions should alert you that it is a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement is made. Learn2.com's ability to do this has been fostered by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information so long as those statements are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the statement.

    Although Learn2.com believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause Learn2.com's actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors include among others,Learn2.com's ability to complete new products at planned costs and on planned schedules, Learn2.com's ability to attract and retain strategic partners and consummate acquisitions, Learn2.com's ability to leverage intangible assets in its technology and Learn2.com's ability to maintain a sufficient level of financing for its business strategy. Additional factors that are beyond Learn2.com's control and could influence results include market acceptance of Learn2.com's products and services and adoption of the Internet as a medium of commerce and communication. See the discussion of Learn2.com's business and a description of the various factors that could materially affect the ability of Learn2.com to achieve the anticipated results described in the forward-looking statements that are included in Item 1 of Learn2.com's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Learning Services

    Learning Services revenues consist primarily of learning products and services sold or distributed through the Internet and of physical products sold through traditional retail channels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Since inception we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of equity and debt securities and public offerings of our common stock. To date, we continue to use cash and operate at a loss. Our ability to achieve positive cash flow depends upon a variety of factors, including the timely introduction and market success of our products, the costs of developing, producing and marketing these products, adoption of the Internet as a medium of commerce and delivery of services, and various other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. We are making a substantial investment in our business and may need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need to raise

additional funds we cannot be certain that we will be successful nor can we predict the terms under which such funds would be available. If additional funds are not available we may not be able to meet our on-going expenses unless we change our business plan, sell non-strategic assets, curtail expenditures, and/or employ other strategies as are required in these circumstances.

    Net cash used in operating activities was $10.7 million. Cash used in operating activities resulted primarily from our net loss and an overall decrease in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by increases from non-cash charges.

    Net cash used in investing activities was $118,000 and consists primarily of proceeds of $1.5 million from the sale of assets and $902,000 from the sale of short-term investments, offset by capital expenditures of approximately $2.3 million and capitalized development costs of $281,000.

    Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.6 million and consists of proceeds of $10.0 million from the issuance of a convertible debenture (as described below), $2.3 million from the issuance of common stock under stock option plans and $700,000 from the issuance of notes payable, offset by deferred financing costs related to the convertible debentures of $347,000. As of September 30, 2000, we had $9.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2000, our commitments consisted primarily of obligations under operating leases. Although we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, we anticipate that we will experience a substantial increase in our capital expenditures consistent with our anticipated growth in operations, infrastructure and personnel. Additionally, we will continue to evaluate possible acquisitions of products and technologies that are complementary to ours, which may require the use of cash. Further, we currently anticipate that we will continue to experience significant growth in our operating expenses for the foreseeable future and that our operating expenses will continue to utilize our cash resources.

    On March 10, 2000, Learn2.com sold a three year $10.0 million 6% convertible debenture and a warrant to purchase 337,268 shares of common stock to an investor.

    The debenture is convertible into 1,666,667 shares of common stock and is convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $6.00 per share (which approximated the market value of our common stock on March 10, 2000) and is subject to anti-dilution provisions. Under certain conditions, the debenture automatically converts after one year. The conversion price of the debenture may be reset to the market value of our common stock on each of the first and second anniversaries of the issuance of the convertible debenture if the price of our common stock declines below the initial or adjusted conversion price on such anniversaries. In the event that a reduction in the conversion price does occur, Learn2.com will be required to record additional interest expense as a result of this beneficial conversion feature.

    The warrant to purchase 337,268 shares of our common stock is exercisable for a five-year period at $7.41 per share. The fair value of the warrant of $1.0 million has been recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the life of the related debt.
