CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by CMGI, Inc. ("CMGI" or the "Company") in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). In
the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal
recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods
indicated. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are
adequate to make the information not misleading, these condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 2001 which are
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 29, 2001 (as amended on December
12, 2001). The results for the three and six-month periods ended January 31,
2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
fiscal year. Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified in accordance with US GAAP to conform to
current year presentation.
Certain costs related to the purchase price of products sold, inbound and
outbound shipping charges, packing supplies and other costs associated with
marketplace business of the Company's eBusiness and Fulfillment segment are
classified as cost of revenue. Certain costs related to fulfillment, including
warehousing costs related to activities such as receiving goods and the picking
and packing of goods for shipment within the Company's eBusiness and
Fulfillment segment are classified as selling expenses. The Company's inventory
balances principally consist of finished goods.
Marketable securities held by the Company which meet the criteria for
classification as trading are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains
and losses on securities classified as trading are recorded as a component of
"Other gains (losses), net" in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
B. New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS
No. 141 will apply to all business combinations that the Company enters into
after June 30, 2001, and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. Under the new statements, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual
impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets
will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
The Company is required to adopt these statements for accounting for
goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2003. Application of the non-amortization provisions of the statement is
indeterminable at January 31, 2002 as the Company intends to continue to
perform an impairment analysis of the remaining goodwill and other intangible
assets through the end of fiscal year 2002 under its existing policy. Upon
adoption on August 1, 2002, the Company will perform the required impairment
tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets under SFAS No. 142 and
has not yet determined what effect these tests will have on the operations and
financial position of the Company.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." This statement addresses the accounting treatment for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. The provisions of the statement apply to legal
obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result
from the acquisition, construction, development, or
5
CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
normal operation of a long-lived asset. The statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The
Company has not completed its analysis of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 143,
but does not expect this statement to have a material impact on its operations
or financial position.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment on Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. Under the new rules, the criteria required for classifying an asset as
held-for-sale have been significantly changed. Assets held-for-sale are stated
at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts, and depreciation is no
longer recognized. In addition, the expected future operating losses from
discontinued operations will be displayed in discontinued operations in the
period in which the losses are incurred rather than as of the measurement date.
More dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the
statement of operations under the new rules. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 144 to its condensed consolidated financial
statements.

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
In September 2001, the Company completed the sale of its majority-owned

During the six months ended January 31, 2001, the Company sold marketable
securities for total proceeds of approximately $941.0 million and recorded a
net pre-tax gain of approximately $263.6 million on these sales. These sales
primarily consisted of approximately 8.4 million shares of Lycos, Inc. common
stock for proceeds of approximately $394.7 million, approximately 241.0 million
shares of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited (PCCW) stock for proceeds of
approximately $190.2 million, approximately 3.7 million shares of Kana

During the six months ended January 31, 2001, the Company settled the first
and second tranche of its borrowing arrangement that hedged a portion of the
Company's investment in Yahoo! common stock. The Company recognized a pre-tax
gain of approximately $86.7 million related to the settlement of the first and
second tranche.
During the six months ended January 31, 2001, the Company recorded
approximately $148.8 million of impairment charges to reflect
other-than-temporary impairment related to its available-for-sale securities.
These charges primarily consisted of approximately $49.3 million, $38.7
million, $29.3 million and $25.4 million of impairment charges related to the
Company's holdings of Hollywood Entertainment, Marketing Services Group, Inc.,
Netcentives, Inc., and Divine, respectively.
In January 2001, AltaVista Company (AltaVista), a majority-owned subsidiary
of the Company, sold its subsidiary, Raging Bull, Inc., and recorded a net
pre-tax loss of approximately $95.9 million. Also, in December 2000, AltaVista
recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $19.8 million on the sale of a real
estate holding.
D. Gains on Issuance of Stock by Subsidiaries
During the six months ended January 31, 2001, the Company recognized gains
on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates primarily related to the
issuance of approximately 14.9 million shares of common stock by Engage, Inc.
(Engage), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, valued at approximately
$225.7 million in its acquisitions of Space Media Holdings Limited (Space) and
MediaBridge Technologies, Inc. (MediaBridge). The Company's ownership interest
in Engage decreased from approximately 86% to approximately 77% primarily as a
result of these stock issuances. The Company provided for deferred income taxes
resulting from the gains on issuance of stock by Engage.
E. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company records impairment charges as a result of management's ongoing
business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy
regarding impairment of long-lived assets. Where impairment indicators were
identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by
comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value.
Management determines fair value of goodwill and certain other intangible
assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is
based upon converting expected cash flows to present value, and the market
approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies
engaged in lines of business similar to the Company. The market
7
CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
price multiples are selected and applied to the Company based on the relative
performance, future prospects and risk profile of the Company in comparison to
the guideline companies. Management predominantly utilizes third-party
valuation reports in its determination of fair value. Management predominantly
determines fair value of other long-lived assets, such as property and
equipment, based on third party valuation reports.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded
long-lived asset impairment charges of approximately $36.6 million. These
charges included asset impairment charges of $27.4 million and $6.5 million
related to the purchase of certain leased equipment previously held under
operating and capital leases by NaviSite, Inc. (NaviSite) and AltaVista Company
(AltaVista), respectively (see Note L). The Company also recorded approximately
$2.8 million related to impairment of customer base and workforce in place
intangible assets at Tallan, Inc. (Tallan).
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded
long-lived asset impairment charges totaling approximately $11.3 million.
NaviSite recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of approximately $7.2
million related to: (1) the purchase of certain equipment in excess of fair
market value that was previously held under operating leases; (2) the
modification of payment terms of certain operating leases that resulted in
above market capital leases; and (3) the identification of certain leased
assets that will not provide future value and (4) the identification of
obsolete equipment and software and for equipment no longer on hand. AltaVista
recorded long-lived asset impairment charges totaling approximately $1.1
million related to an adjustment of a previously recorded impairment charge
recorded by AltaVista as part of its agreement with Compaq Financial Services
Corporation to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased under
operating and capital lease agreements. Tallan recorded an impairment of
long-lived assets charge totaling approximately $0.6 million resulting from the
carrying value of certain other intangible assets, specifically the workforce
in place as of the acquisition date, exceeding their estimated fair value at
January 31, 2002. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of
approximately $2.3 million resulting from a write-off of certain assets which
are no longer being utilized by the Company, primarily software and consulting
fees capitalized in the development of software for internal use, computer
equipment and furniture and fixtures, at the Company's headquarters.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded long-lived
asset impairment charges totaling approximately $69.6 million. Subsequent to
October 31, 2000, CMGI announced its decisions to exit the businesses conducted
by its subsidiaries iCAST Corporation (iCAST) and 1stUp.com Corporation
(1stUp). In connection with these decisions, management determined that the
carrying value of certain intangible assets, principally goodwill, were
permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges of approximately $3.6
million and $23.3 million related to iCAST and 1stUp, respectively. The Company
also recorded other long-lived asset impairment charges during the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 totaling approximately $42.7 million, consisting
primarily of $16.8 million related to intangible assets of Engage, $8.9 million
related to intangible assets of MyWay.com Corporation (MyWay), and $10.1
million related to intangible assets of AdForce, Inc. (AdForce), a subsidiary
of ProvisionSoft, Inc. (ProvisionSoft, formerly CMGion, Inc.), a subsidiary of
the Company.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded long-lived
asset impairment charges totaling approximately $2.0 billion. Each of the
companies for which impairment charges were recorded in the second quarter had
experienced declines in operating and financial metrics over the previous
several quarters in comparison to the metrics forecasted at the time of their
respective acquisitions. The impairment analysis considered that these
companies were recently acquired during the time period from August 1999 to
March 2000

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
and that the intangible assets recorded upon acquisition of these companies
were generally being amortized over a three-year useful life. However,
sufficient monitoring was performed over the course of the prior several
quarters and the companies had each completed an operating cycle since
acquisition. This monitoring process culminated with impairment charges for
these companies in the second quarter. The amount of the impairment charge was
determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill and certain other
intangible assets to fair value at January 31, 2001. The discount rates used as
of January 31, 2001 ranged from 20% to 25%. These discount rates were
determined by an analysis of the risks associated with certain goodwill and
other intangible assets. The resulting net cash flows to which the discount
rates were applied were based on management's estimates of revenues, operating
expenses and income taxes from the assets with identified impairment indicators.
As a result of sequential declines in operating results, primarily due to
the continued weak overall demand for on-line advertising and marketing
services and changes in business strategies, management determined that the
carrying value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets of Engage,
yesmail.com, inc. (Yesmail), AdForce, and AltaVista should be adjusted.
Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $524.1
million, $350.6 million, $241.8 million and $862.6 million, respectively,
totaling $1.98 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 to adjust the
carrying value of these intangible assets. Also during the second quarter of
fiscal 2001, CMGI announced its decision to cease funding of ExchangePath, LLC
(ExchangePath). In connection with this decision, management determined that
the carrying value of certain intangible assets of ExchangePath, principally
goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges in the
quarter ended January 31, 2001 of approximately $5.7 million. The Company also
recorded other impairment charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2001
totaling approximately $13.8 million primarily related to certain intangible
assets of Tallan.
F. Restructuring Charges
During the six months ended January 31, 2002, the Company recorded net
restructuring charges totaling approximately $12.2 million in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, EITF Issue No. 95-3 and Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. (SAB) 100.
The Company's restructuring initiatives involved strategic decisions to exit
certain businesses or to re-evaluate the current state of on-going businesses.
Restructuring charges consisted primarily of contract terminations, severance
charges and equipment charges incurred as a result of the cessation of
operations of certain subsidiaries and actions taken at several remaining
subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further
reduce expenses. Severance charges include employee termination costs as a
result of a reduction in workforce and salary expense for certain employees
involved in the restructuring efforts. Employees affected by the restructuring
were notified both through direct personal contact and by written notification.
The contract terminations primarily consisted of costs to exit facility and
equipment leases and to terminate bandwidth and other vendor contracts. The
asset impairment charges primarily related to the write-off of property and
equipment.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, Engage incurred approximately
$12.5 million of restructuring charges, which were primarily a result of the
closing of its on-line advertising operations and its implementation of a
restructuring plan designed to reduce its corporate overhead costs through
reductions in the size of its staff. The closing of the on-line advertising
business resulted in severance costs resulting from the termination of
approximately 232 employees and contract termination costs in connection with
the costs to exit facility and equipment leases. Also during the first quarter
of fiscal year 2002, AltaVista incurred restructuring charges of approximately
$10.0 million, which were primarily a result of a change in its business
strategy from one that focused on on-line advertising to one that focuses on
enterprise search software. The restructuring charges were
9
CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
primarily related to severance costs in connection with a reduction in the
workforce of approximately 120 persons, costs associated with the closing of
its Irving, California office location, and the write-off of an information
systems software package. In addition, MyWay incurred approximately $5.9
million in restructuring charges primarily related to the write-off of property
and equipment, as well as the termination of customer and vendor contracts.
Tallan incurred restructuring charges of approximately $4.0 million which
primarily related to severance costs associated with a reduction in the
workforce of approximately 72 persons, as well as costs associated with the
closing of five office locations. NaviPath, Inc. (NaviPath) incurred
restructuring charges of approximately $3.1 million which primarily related to
severance costs and legal and other professional fees incurred in connection
with the cessation of its operations. The Company also recorded approximately
$2.2 million primarily related to the write-off of property and equipment and
costs incurred to exit facility leases in Europe.
During the three months ended October 31, 2001, the Company settled certain
vendor and customer contractual obligations for amounts less than originally
anticipated. As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring adjustment of
approximately $20.5 million to the accrued restructuring balance of July 31,
2001, primarily related to payments by NaviPath to terminate purchase
commitments and service contracts for amounts less than originally estimated.
During the three months ended January 31, 2002, the Company recorded
approximately $2.0 million in restructuring expenses primarily related to
AltaVista, MyWay and its corporate headquarters. AltaVista incurred
restructuring charges of approximately $0.8 million primarily related to the
write-off of fixed assets resulting from AltaVista's decision to shut-down its
European data center. MyWay incurred restructuring expenses of $0.4 million
related to the termination of certain customer and vendor contracts in
connection with the cessation of its operations. The restructuring charge
incurred at the Company's headquarters of approximately $0.6 million related to
severance costs resulting from the termination of approximately 70 employees as
part of a plan to reduce Corporate overhead costs.
During the three months ended January 31, 2002, the Company settled certain
vendor and customer contractual obligations for amounts less than originally
anticipated and recorded a reversal of previously recorded restructuring
expense. This resulted in restructuring adjustments of approximately $7.4
million primarily related to settlements negotiated by NaviPath, Engage, Tribal
Voice, Inc., a subsidiary of ProvisionSoft, MyWay and CMG@Ventures, Inc. with
their respective customers and vendors for amounts less than originally
estimated.
The following tables summarize the activity in the restructuring accrual

The Company anticipates that the remaining restructuring charges will be
settled by March 2004. It is expected the payments of employee-related expenses
will be substantially complete within three months. The remaining contractual
obligation payments are primarily related to facilities and equipment lease
obligations.
The net restructuring charges (benefits) for the three and six month periods
ended January 31, 2002 and 2001 would have been allocated as follows had the
Company recorded the expense and adjustment within the functional department of

G. Segment Information
Based on the information provided to the Company's chief operating decision
maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing
performance, the Company's operations have been classified in three operating
segments that are strategic business units offering distinctive products and
services that are marketed through different channels.
The Company previously reported five operating segments: i) Interactive
Marketing, ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment, iii) Search and Portals, iv)
Infrastructure and Enabling Technologies, and v) Internet Professional
Services. As a result of the cessation of operations, sale or other disposition
of several subsidiaries and restructuring efforts at several of the remaining
subsidiaries, the Company has realigned its operating segments and now reports
three operating segments: i) Enterprise Software and Services (which consists
of Engage, Yesmail, AltaVista, ProvisionSoft, Equilibrium Technologies, Inc.
(Equilibrium) and Tallan) ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment (which consists of
SalesLink Corporation (SalesLink), uBid, Inc. (uBid) and the historical results
of Signatures SNI, Inc., until the sale of the Company's majority interest in
February 2001), iii) Managed Application Services (which consists of NaviSite,
and the historical results of NaviPath, ExchangePath and 1stUp until the
cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000,
respectively, and Activate.Net Corporation (Activate), until its sale in
September 2001). The Other segment represents certain corporate marketing and
administrative expenses and the Company's venture capital arm which invests in
companies involved in various aspects of the Internet.
In addition to its three current operating segments, the Company continues
to report a Portals (formerly Search and Portals) segment that consists of the
operations of MyWay and iCAST, as these entities do not meet the aggregation
criteria under SFAS No. 131 with respect to the Company's current reporting
segments. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2001, management announced its
decision to cease funding the operations of iCAST, and in the second quarter of
fiscal 2002, the Company's management announced its decision to cease funding
the operations of MyWay. Accordingly, the historical results of these companies
will continue to be reported in the Portals segment as will any residual
results from operations that exist through the cessation of operations. Prior
to the realignment of the business and the reporting segments, the Search and
Portals segment also included the results of AltaVista. For comparative
purposes, the historical results of AltaVista for all periods presented have
been reclassified to the Enterprise Software and Services segment.

Management evaluates segment performance based on segment net revenue,
operating income (loss) and "pro forma operating income (loss)", which is
defined as the operating income (loss) excluding net charges related to
in-process research and development, depreciation, long-lived asset impairment,
restructuring and amortization of intangible assets and stock-based
compensation.
Summarized financial information of the Company's operations by business

H. Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share is computed based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and convertible preferred stock are
included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share only when the effect
of their inclusion would be dilutive. Approximately 4.8 million and 10.5
million weighted average common stock equivalents and approximately 9.8 million
and 9.6 million shares representing the weighted average effect of assumed
conversion of convertible preferred stock were excluded from the denominator in
the diluted loss per share calculation for the three months ended January 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively. Approximately 4.6 million and 10.4 million
weighted average common stock equivalents and approximately 9.6 million and 9.6
million shares representing the weighted average effect of assumed conversion
of convertible preferred stock were excluded from the denominator in the
diluted loss per share calculation for the six months ended January 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
12
CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
If a subsidiary has dilutive stock options or warrants outstanding, diluted
earnings per share is computed by first deducting from net income (loss) the
income attributable to the potential exercise of the dilutive stock options or
warrants of the subsidiary. The effect of income attributable to dilutive
subsidiary stock equivalents was immaterial for the three and six months ended
January 31, 2002 and 2001.

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
In October 2001, the Company's affiliate, CMG@Ventures I, LLC distributed
approximately 1.7 million shares of Terra Networks, S.A. stock to certain of
its profit members. In November 2001, the Company's affiliates, CMG@Ventures I,
LLC and CMG@Ventures II, LLC, distributed the following shares to certain of
their respective profit members: approximately 1.2 million shares of Terra
Networks stock, approximately 574,000 shares of Yahoo! common stock,
approximately 257,000 shares of Vicinity Corporation common stock,
approximately 178,000 shares of Kana Communications, Inc. common stock,
approximately 106,000 shares of Ventro Corporation common stock, approximately
80,000 shares of Hollywood Entertainment common stock, approximately 66,000
shares of Critical Path, Inc. common stock, approximately 44,000 shares of
Amazon.com, Inc. common stock, approximately 12,000 shares of PTEK Holdings,
Inc. common stock and approximately 3,000 shares of MarchFirst, Inc. common
stock. Certain portions of these distributions were made to David Wetherell,
CMGI's Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer, in his capacity as a profit
member of CMGI@Ventures I, LLC and CMG@Ventures II, LLC. These distributions
resulted in a reduction in "Other assets" and "Minority interest" in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In November 2001, the Company retired its $220.0 million in face amounts of
notes payable due to Compaq (see Note L).
Also in November 2001, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares
of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note M).
K. Derivative Financial Instruments
In April 2000, the Company entered into a borrowing arrangement that hedged
a portion of the Company's investment in common stock of Yahoo!. Under the
terms of the contract, the Company agreed to deliver, at its discretion, either
cash or Yahoo! common stock in three separate tranches, with maturity dates
ranging from August 2000 to February 2001. The Company executed the first
tranche in April 2000 and received approximately $106.4 million. The Company
subsequently settled this tranche through the delivery of 581,499 shares of
Yahoo! common stock in August 2000. In May 2000, the Company received
approximately $68.5 million and $5.7 million upon the execution of the second
and third tranches, respectively. The Company settled the second tranche for
cash totaling approximately $33.6 million in October 2000. The Company settled
the third tranche through the delivery of 47,684 shares of Yahoo! common stock
in February 2001. In November 2000, the Company entered into a new agreement to
hedge the Company's investment in 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock. The
Company received approximately $31.5 million of cash in connection with this
new agreement. Under the terms of the new contract, the Company delivered
581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock on August 1, 2001, and recognized a
pre-tax gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations of
approximately $53.9 million. The net gain is included in "Other gains (losses),
net".
L. Agreements with Compaq Computer Corporation and Compaq Financial Services
Corporation
In October 2001, the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, AltaVista
and NaviSite, entered into agreements with Compaq, a significant stockholder of
CMGI, and Compaq's wholly owned subsidiary, CFS. NaviSite purchased and
recorded equipment from CFS effective August 1, 2001, with a fair market value
of $9.6 million, previously leased by NaviSite under operating lease agreements
expiring through 2003, in exchange for a note payable of approximately $35.0
million. Accordingly, as the fair value of the equipment, based on a
preliminary independent appraisal, was less than the associated debt
obligation, NaviSite recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002 of approximately $25.4 million. The $35.0 million
due to CFS was executed in the form of a convertible note payable to CFS in the
total amount of $55.0 million on November 8, 2001, as described below.
14
CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
Additionally, under the terms of these agreements, AltaVista agreed to
purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased from CFS under
operating and capital lease agreements in exchange for a cash payment of $20.0
million. Based on an independent appraisal, the fair market value of the
equipment was determined to be $7.9 million. As the fair market value of the
equipment was less than the sum of the cash payment and the carrying value of
the equipment under capital lease agreements, net of the remaining obligations,
AltaVista recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets in fiscal year
2002 of approximately $7.6 million. On November 8, 2001, AltaVista completed
and recorded the purchase of this equipment.
In November 2001, as part of the agreement with CFS, NaviSite received $20.0
million in cash from CFS in exchange for a six-year convertible note payable.
This note, which also relates to the $35.0 million equipment purchase described
above, bears interest at 12% and requires payment of interest only for the
first three years from the date of issuance. A portion of the interest payable
to CFS in the first two years may be paid in NaviSite common stock. Principal
and interest payments are due on a straight-line basis commencing in year four
until maturity on the sixth anniversary from the issuance date. The convertible
note payable is secured by substantially all assets of NaviSite and cannot be
prepaid. The principal balance may be converted into NaviSite common stock at
the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity at a conversion rate of
$0.26 per share. The conversion rate of $0.26 results in beneficial conversion
rights for CFS. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion rights
amounted to approximately $36.0 million which has been reflected as a reduction
of the carrying value of the convertible notes payable and will be amortized
into interest expense over the life of the notes. As of January 31, 2002,
approximately $1.4 million has been amortized into interest expense. Should CFS
convert its note payable into NaviSite's common stock, CFS would own a
controlling interest in NaviSite.
In November 2001, as part of these agreements, Compaq agreed to deem the
Company's $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued
interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in cash,
approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI's 49% ownership
interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions, LLC, of which Compaq had previously
owned the remaining 51%. As a result, the Company recorded an extraordinary
gain of approximately $133.1 million related to the extinguishment of the
Company's $220.0 million in face amounts notes payable to Compaq. The gain was
calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the notes payable
plus accrued interest thereon, less the carrying value of the consideration
exchanged. The carrying value of the consideration approximated fair market
value at the date of the transaction.
M. Retirement of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
In November 2001, the Company repurchased of all the outstanding shares of
its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred Stock) pursuant to
privately negotiated stock exchange agreements with the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock. Under these agreements, the Company repurchased all of the
outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration
consisting of approximately $100.3 million in cash, approximately 34.7 million
shares of the Company's common stock, and an obligation to deliver, no later
than December 2, 2002, approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock.
In addition, due to the delayed delivery obligation with respect to the PCCW
shares, the Company agreed to make cash payments to the former holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock, on the dates and in the aggregate amounts as follows:
approximately $3.7 million on February 19, 2002, approximately $3.5 million on
May 17, 2002, approximately $3.8 million on August 19, 2002, approximately $3.7
million on November 19, 2002 and approximately $0.5 million on December 2,
2002. The obligation to make payments ceases upon delivery of the PCCW shares
and any payment due for the period during which the PCCW shares are delivered
to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be reduced on a pro
rata basis.
15
CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized an increase in the
stockholders' equity section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets of approximately $63.5 million. The gain was calculated as the
difference between the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock less the
carrying value of the consideration exchanged at the date of the transaction.
The carrying value of the consideration exchanged approximated fair market
value at the date of the transaction. Additionally, the Company has
reclassified its investment in PCCW shares from "Other assets" to "Trading
security" and, in accordance with SFAS No. 115, recognized a pre-tax gain in
the condensed consolidated statements of operations of approximately $19.6
million. The liability related to the obligation to deliver the PCCW stock is
carried at market value and has been classified as a current note payable in
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in market value
of this note payable are recorded through "interest expense" and offset any
changes in the market value of the PCCW stock, which are reflected in "Other
gains (losses), net," resulting in no net impact in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
N. Contingencies
In December 1999, Neil Braun, a former officer of iCAST Corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("iCAST"), filed a complaint in United
States District Court, Southern District of New York naming the Company, iCAST
and David S. Wetherell as defendants. In the complaint, Mr. Braun alleged
breach of contract regarding his termination from iCAST and claimed that he was
entitled to acceleration of options to purchase CMGI common stock and iCAST
common stock, upon his termination, under contract and promissory estoppel
principles. Mr. Braun also claimed that, under quantum meruit principles, he
was entitled to lost compensation. Mr. Braun sought damages of approximately
$50 million and requested specific performance of the acceleration and exercise
of options. In August 2001, the Court (i) granted summary judgment dismissing
Mr. Wetherell as a defendant and (ii) granted summary judgment, disposing of
Mr. Braun's contract claim. In February 2002, the Court granted summary
judgment disposing of Mr. Braun's promissory estoppel claim. Trial on the
quantum meruit claim began in March 2002 and on March 11, 2002, the jury
returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Braun and against the Company in the amount
of $113,482.24. As to iCAST, the jury found that Mr. Braun had not proven his
claim. The Company has filed a motion for directed verdict, which motion seeks
to set aside the jury verdict against the Company. The period for post-trial
motions or an appeal with respect to these decisions has not expired and,
accordingly, Mr. Braun may seek to pursue such procedures.
In August 2001, Jeffrey Black, a former employee of AltaVista, filed a
complaint in Superior Court of the State of California (Santa Clara County) in
his individual capacity as well as in his capacity as a trustee of two family
trusts against the Company and AltaVista alleging certain claims arising out of
the termination of Mr. Black's employment with AltaVista. As set forth in the
complaint, Mr. Black is seeking monetary damages in excess of $70 million. The
Company and AltaVista each believe these claims are without merit and plan to
vigorously defend against these claims. In March 2002, the Company and
AltaVista filed a petition with the court to compel arbitration in Boston,
Massachusetts and to stay the action.
On February 26, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the
individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell,
George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice).
The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties by the
Company and the individual defendants, and violations of Delaware law. The

compensatory damages, attorneys' fees and expenses. On February 28, 2002, the
Delaware Court of Chancery denied a request by the plaintiffs for the
scheduling of a preliminary injunction hearing, and denied a request to allow
expedited discovery in the lawsuit. The Company and Engage each believe these
claims are without merit and plan to vigorously defend against these claims.
The Company is also subject to a number of actions brought by former
employees as well as other disputes that arise in the ordinary course of
business.
Although the Company believes that, as to each of these actions, the cases
have no merit, and that the ultimate resolution of these disputes will not have
a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows, any adverse trial or jury verdicts could result in a material loss
to the Company. The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation,
claims, settlements, and judgments, and changes in those matters, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
operating results. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcomes
of the litigation and cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible loss given
the current status of the cases.

Basis of Presentation
The Company previously reported five operating segments: i) Interactive
Marketing, ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment, iii) Search and Portals, iv)
Infrastructure and Enabling Technologies, and v) Internet Professional
Services. As a result of the cessation of operations, sale or other disposition
of several subsidiaries and restructuring efforts at several of the remaining
subsidiaries, the Company has realigned its operating segments and now reports
three operating segments: i) Enterprise Software and Services (which consists
of Engage, (Engage, Inc.), yesmail.com, Inc. (Yesmail), AltaVista Company
(AltaVista), ProvisionSoft, Inc. (ProvisionSoft, formerly CMGion), Equilibrium
Technologies, Inc. (Equilibrium) and Tallan, Inc. (Tallan) ii) eBusiness and
Fulfillment (which consists of SalesLink Corporation (SalesLink), uBid, Inc.
(uBid) and the historical results of Signatures SNI, Inc., (Signatures) until
the sale of the Company's majority interest in February 2001), iii) Managed
Application Services (which consists of NaviSite, Inc. (NaviSite) and the
historical results of NaviPath, Inc. (NaviPath), ExchangePath LLC
(ExchangePath) and 1stUp.com Corporation (1stUp) until the cessation of their
operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and
Activate.Net Corporation (Activate), until its sale in September 2001). The
Other segment represents certain corporate marketing and administrative
expenses and the Company's venture capital arm which invests in companies
involved in various aspects of the Internet.
In addition to its three current operating segments, the Company continues
to report a Portals (formerly Search and Portals) segment that consists of the
operations of MyWay and iCAST, as these entities do not meet the aggregation
criteria under SFAS No. 131 with respect to the Company's current reporting
segments. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2001, management announced its
decision to cease funding the operations of iCAST, and in the second quarter of
fiscal 2002, the Company's management announced its decision to cease funding
the operations of MyWay. Accordingly, the historical results of these companies
will continue to be reported in the Portals segment, as will any residual
results from operations that exist through the cessation of operations. Prior
to the realignment of the business and the reporting segments, the Portals
segment also included the results of AltaVista. For comparative purposes, the
historical results of AltaVista for all periods presented have been
reclassified to the Enterprise Software and Services segment.
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, all significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, segment results reported by CMGI
exclude the effect of transactions between CMGI's subsidiaries.

======== === ======== === ========= ===
The decrease in net revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2002 as
compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily a result of the
effects of the sale or cessation of operations of several companies in fiscal
2001 and to a lesser extent decreased net revenue at existing companies during
the second quarter of fiscal year 2002.
The decrease in net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services
segment was primarily due to significant decreases at Engage, AltaVista and
Tallan. The decrease in net revenue at Engage was primarily due to the
continued softness in the on-line advertising market which led to the decision
by Engage to exit its on-line advertising business during the first quarter of
fiscal year 2002. Engage also experienced a slight decrease in service revenue
as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The decrease was partially
offset by an increase in license revenue at Engage related to its AdManager and
Content Server software. The decrease in net revenue at AltaVista was due to
continued softness in the on-line advertising market, slightly offset by an
increase in its software license revenue. During the second half of fiscal
2001, AltaVista made changes in its business strategy from one that focused on
on-line advertising to one that focuses on enterprise search software. The
decrease in net revenue at Tallan was due to continued softness in the custom
programming segment of information technology services. The decline in the
custom programming segment of information technology service resulted in a
decrease of billable rates at Tallan, as well as a reduction in scope of a
number of projects prior to the beginning of fiscal year 2002.
The decrease in net revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was
primarily the result of the impact of the sale of the Company's majority
interest in Signatures in February 2001 and decreased net revenue at SalesLink
and uBid. Net revenue at SalesLink declined as a result of the decline in
volume within its supply chain management business from two significant
customers and a decline in its literature distribution business due to
seasonality and the loss of two significant customers. Net revenue at uBid
decreased primarily as a result of an increase in drop shipment sales as a
percent of total sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Drop shipment sales result in uBid recording
its net fee on the transaction as revenue as opposed to direct shipment of
uBid's inventory, which result in uBid recording the gross merchandise sale as
revenue.
The decrease in net revenue within the Managed Application Services segment
was primarily due to the cessation of operations at 1stUp and NaviPath, the
sale of Activate in September 2001, and a decrease in revenue at NaviSite due
primarily to an approximate 57% decrease in its customer base as compared to
the same period in the prior year.
The decrease in net revenue within the Portals segment was primarily due to
the cessation of operations of iCAST in fiscal 2001 and MyWay during the second
quarter of fiscal year 2002.
19
The Company expects consolidated net revenue to remain flat over the next
two quarters primarily as a result of seasonality within the eBusiness and
Fulfillment segment. Beyond that time period, the Company expects its net
revenue to increase as a result of new product and service offerings and
revenue growth from the Company's existing products and services.

Cost of revenue consisted primarily of expenses related to the cost of
products purchased for sale or distribution. Additionally, cost of revenue
included expenses related to the content, connectivity and production
associated with delivering the Company's products and services. The Company's
cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue decreased to approximately 85%
for the quarter ended January 31, 2002 from 93% in the same period of the prior
fiscal year, primarily due to the shift in focus from lower margin on-line
advertising business models to higher margin software business models at Engage
and AltaVista, the sale of Activate and the effects of the cessation of
operations of iCAST, 1stUp, ExchangePath, NaviPath and MyWay during fiscal 2001
and 2002.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Enterprise
Software and Services segment decreased to approximately 45% for the quarter
ended January 31, 2002 from approximately 61% in the same period of the prior
year primarily due to lower costs at Engage as a result of its decision to
cease operations of its lower margin on-line advertising business and to focus
on its higher margin software business and by the shift in business strategy at
AltaVista from one that focused on on-line advertising to one that focuses on
enterprise search software. Additionally, equipment costs at AltaVista
decreased by approximately $4.9 million versus the same period of the prior
year as a result of AltaVista's agreement with Compaq Financial Services
Corporation (CFS) to purchase certain equipment it had leased in the prior year.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue within the eBusiness and
Fulfillment segment increased to approximately 92% from approximately 89% in
the same period of the prior year primarily due to lower sales volume and
decreased pricing of SalesLink's services within its supply chain management
business, complications with the implementation of a new order management
system at uBid and the deconsolidation of Signatures. The increase in cost of
revenue as a percentage of net revenue at SalesLink was due to decreased
pricing, increased depreciation and increased cost of shipping supplies and
outside labor associated with the transition to its new distribution center in
Memphis, Tennessee. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue
at uBid is primarily a result of higher inventory and inventory related costs
due largely to technical difficulties encountered during the conversion to a
new order management system and a new warehouse facility.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Managed
Application Services segment decreased to approximately 133% from approximately
212% in the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of the
cessation of operations at 1stUp and NaviPath, the sale of Activate and reduced
costs at NaviSite. The reduced costs at NaviSite were a result of lower labor
costs realized through increased efficiencies and headcount reductions and
reduced equipment expenses resulting from the restructuring of certain
operating leases with
20
Compaq Financial Services Corporation (CFS) and other lessors.
The decrease within the Portals segment was primarily due to the cessation
of operations of iCAST and MyWay.
The Company expects consolidated cost of revenue as a percentage of net
revenue to decrease in future periods primarily as a result of the focus on
higher margin products within the Enterprise Software and Services segment, the
realization of the economic benefits of the new order management and warehouse
systems at uBid, reduced inventory costs to be provided by uBid's equipment
refurbishment center, which is scheduled to open in the third quarter of fiscal
2002.

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of personnel and
related costs to design, develop, enhance, test and deploy the Company's
products and services either prior to the development efforts reaching
technological feasibility or once the product had reached the maintenance phase
of its life cycle. Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to
the shift in business focus at Engage and AltaVista and the cessation of
operations at ProvisonSoft's subsidiary, AdForce, iCAST, 1stUp, ExchangePath,
NaviPath and MyWay and the sale of Activate.
The decrease within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was
primarily the result of a reduction of headcount related costs at Engage and
management's restructuring initiatives at AltaVista. The decrease at AltaVista
was primarily related to a reduction of headcount and facilities and equipment
costs as a result of the reduction in the development efforts of the AltaVista
portal site in connection with the change in focus from an on-line advertising
and portal-based business model to an enterprise search software business model.
The decrease within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily
the result of the cessation of operations at 1stUp, ExchangePath and NaviPath,
the sale of Activate and reduced costs at NaviSite related to a reduction in
the usage of outside consultants combined with a reduction in headcount related
expenses.
The decrease within the Portals segment was primarily due to the cessation
of operations of iCAST and MyWay.
The Company recognizes that an investment in research and development is
required to remain competitive, therefore consolidated research and development
expenses may increase in future periods due to the continued development of its
products and services.

Selling expenses consisted primarily of advertising and other general
marketing related expenses, compensation and employee-related expenses, sales
commissions, facilities costs, credit card processing fees, tradeshow expenses
and travel costs. Certain costs related to fulfillment, including warehousing
costs related to activities such as receiving goods and the picking and packing
of goods for shipment within the Company's eBusiness and Fulfillment segment,
are classified as selling expenses. Selling expenses decreased during the three
months ended January 31, 2002 as compared to the same period of the prior year
primarily due to headcount reductions, lower sales commissions as a result of
lower net revenue, a reduction of marketing campaigns, the cessation of the
operations of AdForce, ExchangePath, 1stUp, the closing of Engage's on-line
advertising business, the sale of the Company's majority interest in Signatures
and the sale of Activate.
The decrease within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was
primarily due to a decrease in headcount and associated sales commissions and
the consolidation of office facilities at Engage resulting from the closing of
its on-line advertising business and reductions in travel, consulting,
advertising and trade show expenses for its remaining operations. The decrease
in the segment is also due to a decrease in headcount and a reduction in scope
of certain sales and marketing campaigns at AltaVista.
The decrease in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the
result of the sale of the Company's majority interest in Signatures, partially
offset by increased credit card fees and warehousing and fulfillment costs at
uBid.
The decrease in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the
result of a decrease in headcount, sales commissions and a reduction of
expenses for marketing programs, advertising and product literature at
NaviSite, the cessation of the operations of NaviPath, ExchangePath and 1stUp
and the sale of Activate.
The decrease in the Portals segment was primarily the result of the
cessation of the operations of MyWay and iCAST.
The decrease in Other expenses was primarily the result of a reduction in
corporate marketing department headcount and other costs associated with the
Company's corporate marketing programs.
The Company recognizes that an investment in the marketing of its products
and services is required to remain competitive; therefore consolidated selling
expenses may increase in future periods as the Company continues to create
increased brand awareness of both its existing and new products and services.
Additionally, the Company expects selling expenses to increase as a result of
its purchase of the naming rights for the New England Patriots new football
stadium to be known as CMGI Field.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and
related costs, facilities costs, bad debt expenses and fees for professional
services. General and administrative expenses decreased during the three months
ended January 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year
primarily due to headcount reductions, the consolidation of office space,
reduced information systems costs, the cessation of the operations of AdForce,
ExchangePath, 1stUp, NaviPath and MyWay, the closing of the on-line advertising
operations of Engage, the sale of the Company's majority interest in Signatures
and the sale of Activate.
The decrease in the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily
the result of a decrease in headcount at Engage and AltaVista due to
restructuring initiatives in fiscal 2001 and 2002. The decrease at Engage
reflects reduced headcount related expenses and the consolidation of office
facilities, primarily resulting from the closing of its on-line advertising
business. The decrease at AltaVista reflects reduced information system costs,
reduced headcount related costs and reduced costs resulting from the
consolidation of office space.
The decrease in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the
result of the sale of the Company's majority interest in Signatures, partially
offset by increased administrative overhead at uBid.
The decrease in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily due
to the cessation of operations at ExchangePath, 1stUp and NaviPath, the sale of
Activate and reduced headcount related expenses at NaviSite.
The decrease in the Portals segment was primarily the result of the
cessation of the operations of MyWay and iCAST.
The decrease in the Other expenses, which includes certain corporate
administrative functions such as legal, finance and business development, was
primarily the result of a decrease in headcount related costs as part of an
overall effort to reduce spending across all Corporate administrative functions.
The Company anticipates consolidated general and administrative expenses to
decrease as the Company and its subsidiaries begin to realize the economic
impact of the significant restructuring initiatives completed over the past
several quarters and due to management's continued focus on cost containment
and reduction.

Amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation consisted
primarily of goodwill amortization expense related to acquisitions made during
fiscal year 2000. Included within amortization of intangible assets and
stock-based compensation expenses was approximately $0.4 million and $27.2
million of stock-based compensation for the three months ended January 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively. The overall decrease in amortization of intangible
assets was primarily the result of intangible asset impairment charges recorded
during fiscal 2001. These impairment charges reduced the carrying amounts of
goodwill and other intangible assets to be amortized over their remaining
useful lives.
The decrease in the Enterprise Software and Services segment primarily
resulted from impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to
certain intangible assets of Engage, Yesmail, AltaVista, AdForce, Equilibrium
and Tallan.
The decrease in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment primarily resulted
from a decrease in the amortization of stock-based compensation as a result of
the sale of the Company's majority interest in Signatures.
The decrease in the Managed Application Services segment primarily resulted
from impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to the
cessation of operations at ExchangePath, as well as the sale of Activate in
September 2001.
The decrease in the Portals segment primarily resulted from impairment
charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets
of iCAST and MyWay.
The Company anticipates that the amortization of intangible assets and
stock-based compensation will remain relatively constant through July 31, 2002,
at which time the Company expects to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) Nos. 141 and 142. In accordance with these statements,
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer
be amortized but will be subject to periodic impairment tests. Other intangible
assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

======= == ========== ==== =========== ====
The Company records impairment charges as a result of management's ongoing
business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy
regarding impairment of long-lived assets. Where impairment indicators were
identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by
comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value.
Management determines fair value of goodwill and certain other intangible
assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is
based upon converting expected cash flows to present value, and the market
approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies
engaged in lines of business similar to the Company. The market price multiples
are selected and applied to the Company based on the relative performance,
future prospects and risk profile of the Company in comparison to the guideline
companies. Management predominantly utilizes third-party valuation reports in
its determination of fair value. Management predominantly determines fair value
of other long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, based on third
party valuation reports. As a result, during management's quarterly review of
the value and periods of amortization and depreciation of long-lived assets, it
was determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived assets was not
fully recoverable. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company
recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $11.3 million.
The impairment of long-lived assets charge recorded during the three months
ended January 31, 2002 within the Enterprise Software and Services segment
primarily reflects an asset impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million
related to an adjustment of a previously recorded impairment charge recorded by
AltaVista as part of its agreement to purchase certain equipment that it had
previously leased under operating and capital lease agreements. Additionally,
Tallan recorded an impairment of long-lived assets charge of approximately $0.6
million resulting from the carrying value of certain other intangible assets,
specifically the workforce in place as of the acquisition date, exceeding their
estimated fair value at January 31, 2002.
The impairment on long-lived assets charge recorded during the three months
ended January 31, 2002 within the Managed Application Services segment reflects
an asset impairment charge at NaviSite. During the second quarter of fiscal
year 2002, NaviSite incurred a $7.2 million charge related to (1) the purchase
of certain equipment in excess of fair market value that was previously held
under operating leases; (2) the modification of payment terms of certain
operating leases that resulted in above market capital leases; and (3) the
identification of certain leased assets that will not provide future value and
(4) the identification of obsolete equipment and software and for equipment no
longer on hand.
The impairment of long-lived asset charge recorded during the three months
ended January 31, 2002 within the Other segment of approximately $2.3 million
is due to a write-off of certain assets which are no longer being utilized by
the Company at the Company's headquarters. These assets consist primarily of
software and consulting fees capitalized in the development of software for
internal use, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures.
NaviSite is currently evaluating its business model and the manner in which
it provides services. As a result of this evaluation, NaviSite may restructure
its business, which could result in a change in its long-lived asset
25
lives and may result in future impairment charges. The evaluation is in the
preliminary stages and the outcome is uncertain at this point in time.

The Company's restructuring initiatives involved strategic decisions to exit
certain businesses or to re-evaluate the current state of on-going businesses.
Restructuring charges consisted primarily of contract terminations, severance
charges and equipment charges incurred as a result of the cessation of
operations of certain subsidiaries and actions taken at several remaining
subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further
reduce expenses. Severance charges include employee termination costs as a
result of a reduction in workforce and salary expense for certain employees
involved in the restructuring efforts. Employees affected by the restructuring
were notified both through direct personal contact and by written notification.
The contract terminations primarily consisted of costs to exit facility and
equipment leases and to terminate bandwidth and other vendor contracts. The
asset impairment charges primarily relate to the write-off of property and
equipment. During the three months ended January 31, 2002, the Company recorded
a net restructuring benefit primarily as a result of the negotiation of
settlements with vendors for amounts less than originally estimated.
The net restructuring benefit recorded during the three months ended January
31, 2002 in the Enterprise Software and Services segment primarily related to
charges of approximately $0.8 million at AltaVista, offset by a reversal of
approximately $3.6 million and $1.0 million of previously recorded
restructuring charges at Engage and Tribal Voice, Inc. (Tribal Voice), a
subsidiary of ProvisionSoft. The restructuring charge recorded by AltaVista
primarily related to the write-off of fixed assets resulting from AltaVista's
decision to shut-down its European data center. The restructuring benefits
recorded by Engage and Tribal Voice related to the favorable settlements of
contractual obligations for amounts less than originally estimated.
The net restructuring benefit recorded during the three months ended January
31, 2002 in the Managed Application Services segment primarily related to the
settlement by NaviPath of certain customer and vendor contracts in connection
with the cessation of its operations for amounts less than originally estimated.
The net restructuring benefit recorded during the three months ended January
31, 2002 in the Portals segment primarily related to charges of approximately
$0.4 million at MyWay, offset by a reversal of approximately $1.4 million of
previously recorded restructuring charges at MyWay. The restructuring charge
recorded by MyWay related to the termination of certain customer and vendor
contracts in connection with the cessation of its business. This was offset by
a restructuring benefit recorded at MyWay related to the termination of certain
other customer and vendor contracts in connection with the cessation of its
operations for amounts less than originally estimated.
The net restructuring charge recorded during the three months ended January
31, 2002 in Other included a restructuring charge of approximately $0.6 million
primarily related to severance costs resulting from the termination of
approximately 70 employees as part of a plan to reduce Corporate overhead
costs, partially offset
26
by a restructuring benefit of approximately $0.5 million at CMG@Ventures
related to the favorable negotiation of the termination of a real estate lease.
Other Income/Expenses:
There were no gains on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates in
the second quarter of fiscal year 2002. Loss on issuance of stock by
subsidiaries and affiliates in the three months ended January 31, 2001
primarily related to a pre-tax loss of approximately $3.7 million on the
issuance of stock by Engage to employees as a result of stock option exercises.
Other gains (losses), net decreased $58.8 million, or 77%, to $(18.1)
million for the quarter ended January 31, 2002 from $(76.9) million for the
same period in fiscal 2001. Other gains (losses), net for the quarter ended
January 31, 2002 primarily consisted of a pre-tax loss of $15.5 million related
to impairment charges for other-than-temporary declines in the carrying value
of certain investments in affiliates, a pre-tax loss of approximately $2.6
million on the sale of Divine, Inc. common stock, a pre-tax loss of
approximately $0.8 million on the sale of Marketing Services Group, Inc. common
stock and a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.7 million related to impairment
charges taken on certain available-for-sale securities held by the Company.
These losses were partially offset by a net pre-tax gain of approximately $2.9
million related to the change in market value of a trading security held by the
Company. Other gains, (losses), net for the quarter ended January 31, 2001
primarily consisted of a pre-tax loss of $95.9 million on the sale of
AltaVista's subsidiary, Raging Bull, and a pre-tax loss of approximately $58.6
million related to impairment charges taken on certain available-for-sale
securities held by the Company. These losses were partially offset by a pre-tax
gain of approximately $64.2 million on the sale of Terra Networks stock and a
pre-tax gain of approximately $19.8 million on the sale of a real estate
holding.
Interest income decreased $16.6 million to $3.2 million for the three months
ended January 31, 2002 from $19.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2001 as
a result of the Company's lower average cash and cash equivalent balances and
lower interest rates as compared to the same period of the prior year. Interest
expense decreased $20.9 million to $(10.5) million for the second quarter of
fiscal 2002 from $10.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, primarily
due to a favorable fair market value adjustment of approximately $16.7 million
related to the decrease in value of the obligation to the former holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock and the retirement of the notes payable to Compaq in
November 2001. These decreases were offset slightly by interest expense
resulting from the obligation to the former holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock and the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of NaviSite's
note payable to CFS.
Equity in losses of affiliates resulted from the Company's minority
ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method
of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company's proportionate share of
each affiliate's operating losses and amortization of the Company's net excess
investment over its equity in each affiliate's net assets is included in equity
in losses of affiliates. Equity in losses of affiliates decreased $12.5 million
to $1.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2002, from $13.6 million
for the same period in fiscal 2001, primarily reflecting a decreased number of
investments accounted for under the equity method compared to last year's
second fiscal quarter. The Company expects its affiliate companies to continue
to invest in the development of their products and services, and to recognize
operating losses, which will result in future charges recorded by the Company
to reflect its proportionate share of such losses.
Minority interest, net decreased to $14.7 million for the three months ended
January 31, 2002 from $250.9 million for the same period of fiscal 2001,
primarily as a result of reduced losses at AltaVista and Engage. Minority
interest for the second quarter of fiscal year 2002 primarily reflects the
Company's minority interest in the net losses of three subsidiaries, Engage,
AltaVista and NaviSite.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit):
For the three months ended January 31, 2002, the Company did not record any
income tax expense, due to the projected income tax loss for the year.
Exclusive of taxes provided for significant, unusual or extraordinary items
that will be reported separately, the Company provides for income taxes on a
year to date basis at an effective rate based upon its estimat of full year
earnings.
27
Extraordinary Item:
During the three months ended January 31, 2002, the Company recorded an
extraordinary gain of approximately $133.1 million related to the
extinguishment of the Company's $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable
to Compaq. As part of an agreement between the Company and Compaq, Compaq
agreed to deem the Company's $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable,
plus accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in
cash, approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI's 49%
ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions LLC, of which Compaq had
previously owned the remaining 51%. The gain was calculated as the difference
between the carrying value of the notes payable plus accrued interest thereon,
less the carrying value of the consideration exchanged. The carrying value of
the consideration approximated fair market value at the date of the transaction.

======== === ======== === ========= ===
The decrease in net revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2002 as
compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily a result of the
effects of the sale or cessation of operations of several companies in fiscal
2001 and to a lesser extent decreased revenue at existing companies during the
six months ended January 31, 2002.
The decrease in net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services
segment was primarily due to decreases at Engage, AltaVista and Tallan. The
decrease in net revenue at Engage was primarily due to the softness in the
on-line advertising market which led to the decision by Engage to exit its
on-line advertising business during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The
decrease was also due to a decrease in license revenue at Engage related to its
AdManager software, and to a lesser extent, its ProfileServer and ContentServer
products, slightly offset by an increase in its service revenue. The decrease
in net revenue at AltaVista was due to continued softness in the on-line
advertising market, slightly offset by an increase in its software license
revenue. During the second half of fiscal 2001, AltaVista made changes in its
business strategy from one that focused on on-line advertising to one that
focuses on enterprise search software. The decrease in net revenue at Tallan
was due to continued softness in the custom programming segment of information
technology services. The decline in the custom programming segment of
information technology service resulted in a decrease of billable rates at
Tallan, as well as a reduction in scope of a number of projects prior to the
beginning of fiscal year 2002.
The decrease in net revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was
primarily the result of the impact of the sale of the Company's majority
interest in Signatures and decreased net revenue at SalesLink and uBid. Net
revenue at SalesLink declined as a result of the decline in volume within its
supply chain management business from two significant customers. Net revenue at
uBid decreased primarily due to decreased overall sales volume and an increase
in drop shipment sales as a percent of total sales during the six months ended
January 31, 2002 as compared to the six months ended January 31, 2001. Drop
shipment sales result in uBid recording its net fee on the transaction as
revenue as opposed to direct shipment of uBid's inventory, which result in uBid
recording the gross merchandise sale as revenue.
The decrease in net revenue within the Managed Application Services segment
was primarily due to the cessation of operations of 1stUp and NaviPath, the
sale of Activate and a decrease in revenue at NaviSite. The decrease in net
revenue at NaviSite was due primarily to an approximate 57% decrease in its
customer base as compared to the same period of the prior year.
28
The decrease in net revenue within the Portals segment was primarily due to
the cessation of operations of iCAST and MyWay.
The Company expects consolidated net revenue to remain flat over the next
two quarters primarily as a result of seasonality within the eBusiness and
Fulfillment segment. Beyond that time period, the Company expects its net
revenue to increase as a result of new product and service offerings and
revenue growth from the Company's existing products and services.

Cost of revenue consisted primarily of expenses related to the cost of
products purchased for sale or distribution. Additionally, cost of revenue
included expenses related to the content, connectivity and production
associated with delivering the Company's products and services. The Company's
cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue decreased to approximately 87%
for the six months ended January 31, 2002 from 92% in the same period of the
prior fiscal year, primarily due to the shift in focus from lower margin
on-line advertising business models to higher margin software business models
at Engage and AltaVista, the sale of Activate and the cessation of operations
of iCAST, 1stUp, ExchangePath, NaviPath and MyWay during fiscal 2001 and 2002.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Enterprise
Software and Services segment decreased to approximately 52% for the six months
ended January 31, 2002 from approximately 60% in the same period of the prior
year primarily due to lower costs of revenue at Engage as a result of its
decision to cease operations of its lower margin on-line advertising business
and to focus on its higher margin software business, and by the shift in
business strategy at AltaVista from one that focused on on-line advertising to
one that focuses on enterprise search software. Additionally, equipment costs
at AltaVista decreased by approximately $10.0 million versus the same period of
the prior year as a result of AltaVista's agreement with CFS to purchase
certain equipment it had leased in the prior year.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the eBusiness and
Fulfillment segment increased to approximately 91% from approximately 89% in
the same period of the prior year primarily due to lower sales levels and
decreased pricing of SalesLink's services within the supply chain management
business, complications with the implementation of a new order management
system at uBid and the deconsolidation of Signatures. The increase in cost of
revenue as a percentage of net revenue at SalesLink was due to decreased
pricing, increased depreciation and increased cost of shipping supplies and
outside labor associated with the transition to its new distribution center in
Memphis, Tennessee. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of net
revenue at uBid is primarily a result of higher inventory and inventory related
costs due largely to technical difficulties encountered during the conversion
to a new order management system and a new warehouse facility.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Managed
Application Services segment decreased to approximately 150% from approximately
219% in the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of the
cessation of operations at 1stUp and NaviPath, the sale of Activate and reduced
costs at NaviSite. The reduced costs at NaviSite were a result of lower labor
costs realized through increased efficiencies and headcount reductions and
through reduced equipment expenses resulting from the restructuring of certain
operating leases with CFS and other lessors.
29
Cost of revenue as percentage of net revenue within the Portals segment
decreased to approximately 63% from approximately 217% in the same period from
the prior year primarily as a result of the cessation of operations at MyWay.
The Company expects consolidated cost of revenue as a percentage of net
revenue to decrease in future periods primarily as a result of the focus on
higher margin products within the Enterprise Software and Services segment, the
realization of the economic benefits of the new order management and warehouse
systems at uBid, reduced inventory costs to be provided by uBid's equipment
refurbishment center, which is scheduled to open in the third quarter of fiscal
2002.

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of personnel and
related costs to design, develop, enhance, test and deploy the Company's
products and services either prior to the development efforts reaching
technological feasibility or once the product had reached the maintenance phase
of its life cycle. Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to
the shift in business focus at Engage and AltaVista and the cessation of
operations at AdForce, iCAST, 1stUp, ExchangePath, NaviPath and MyWay.
The decrease within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was
primarily the result of a reduction in headcount related costs at Engage, as
well as management's restructuring initiatives at AltaVista. The decrease at
AltaVista was primarily related to a reduction of headcount and facilities and
equipment costs as a result of the reduction in the development efforts of the
AltaVista portal site in connection with the change in focus from an on-line
advertising and portal-based business model to an enterprise search software
business model.
The decrease within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily
the result of the cessation of operations at 1stUp and NaviPath, the sale of
Activate and reduced costs at NaviSite related to a reduction in the usage of
outside consultants combined with a reduction in headcount related expenses.
The decrease within the Portals segment was primarily due to the cessation
of operations of iCAST and MyWay.
The Company recognizes that an investment in research and development is
required to remain competitive, therefore consolidated research and development
expenses may increase in future periods due to the continued development of its
products and services.
In-Process Research and Development Expenses:
For the six months ended January 31, 2002 the Company did not incur any
in-process research and development expense. In-process research and
development expenses totaled $1.5 million for the six months ended January 31,
2001. The in-process research and development expenses incurred during the six
months ended January 31, 2001 related to the one-time charges taken in
connection with the acquisition of MediaBridge Technologies, Inc. by Engage in
September 2000 and CMGI@Ventures IV, LLC's investment in Avamar Technologies,
Inc.

Selling expenses consisted primarily of advertising and other general
marketing related expenses, compensation and employee-related expenses, sales
commissions, facilities costs, credit card processing fees, tradeshow expenses
and travel costs. Certain costs related to fulfillment, including warehousing
costs related to activities such as receiving goods and the picking and packing
of goods for shipment within the Company's eBusiness and Fulfillment segment,
are classified as selling expenses. Selling expenses decreased during the six
months ended January 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year
primarily due to headcount reductions, lower sales commissions as a result of
lower net revenue, a reduction of marketing campaigns, the cessation of the
operations of AdForce, ExchangePath, and 1stUp, the closing of Engage's on-line
advertising business, the effect of the deconsolidation of Signatures and the
sale of Activate.
The decrease within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was
primarily the result of a decrease in headcount and associated sales
commissions and the consolidation of office facilities at Engage resulting from
the closing of its on-line advertising business, reductions in travel,
consulting, advertising and trade show expenses for its remaining operations.
The decrease in the segment is also due to a decrease in headcount and
commissions costs and the reduction in scope of certain sales and marketing
campaigns at AltaVista.
The decrease in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the
result of the sale of the Company's majority interest in Signatures, partially
offset by increased credit card fees and increased warehousing and fulfillment
costs at uBid.
The decrease in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the
result of a decrease in headcount, sales commissions and a reduction of
expenses for marketing programs, advertising and product literature at
NaviSite, the cessation of the operations at NaviPath, ExchangePath and 1stUp
and the sale of Activate in September 2001.
The decrease in the Portals segment was primarily the result of the
cessation of the operations of MyWay and iCAST.
The decrease in the Other expenses was primarily the result of a reduction
in corporate marketing department headcount and other costs associated with the
Company's corporate marketing activities.
The Company recognizes that an investment in the marketing of its products
and services is required to remain competitive; therefore consolidated selling
expenses may increase in future periods as the Company continues to create
increased brand awareness of both its existing and new products and services.
Additionally, the Company expects selling expenses to increase as a result of
its purchase of the naming rights for the New England Patriots new football
stadium to be known as CMGI Field.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and
related costs, facilities costs, bad debt expenses and fees for professional
services. General and administrative expenses decreased during the six months
ended January 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year
primarily due to headcount reductions, the consolidation of office space,
reduced information systems costs, the cessation of the operations of AdForce,
ExchangePath, 1stUp, NaviPath and MyWay, the closing of the on-line advertising
operations of Engage, the effect of the deconsolidation of Signatures and the
sale of Activate.
The decrease in the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily
the result of the decrease in headcount at Engage and AltaVista. The decrease
at Engage reflects reduced headcount related expenses and the consolidation of
office facilities, primarily as a result of the closing of its on-line
advertising business. The decrease at AltaVista reflects reduced information
system costs, reduced headcount related costs and reduced costs related to the
consolidation of office space.
The decrease in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the
result of the sale of the Company's majority interest in Signatures.
The decrease in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily due
to the cessation of operations at ExchangePath, 1stUp and NaviPath, the sale of
Activate and reduced headcount related expenses at NaviSite.
The decrease in the Portals segment was primarily the result of the
cessation of the operations of MyWay and iCAST.
The decrease in the Other expenses, which includes certain corporate
administrative functions such as legal, finance and business development was
primarily the result of a decrease in headcount related expenses as part of an
overall effort to reduce spending across all Corporate administrative functions.
The Company anticipates consolidated general and administrative expenses to
decrease as the Company and its subsidiaries begin to realize the economic
impact of the significant restructuring initiatives completed over the past
several quarters and due to management's continued focus on cost containment
and reduction.

Amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation consisted
primarily of goodwill amortization expense related to acquisitions made during
fiscal year 2000. Included within amortization of intangible assets and
stock-based compensation expenses was approximately $2.3 million and $40.5
million of stock-based compensation for the six months ended January 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively. The overall decrease in amortization of intangible
assets was primarily the result of intangible asset impairment charges recorded
during fiscal 2001. These impairment charges reduced the carrying amounts of
goodwill and other intangible assets to be amortized over their remaining
useful lives.
The decrease in the Enterprise Software and Services segment primarily
resulted from impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to
certain intangible assets of Engage, Yesmail, AltaVista, ProvisionSoft's
subsidiary AdForce, Equilibrium and Tallan.
The decrease in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment primarily resulted
from a decrease in the amortization of stock-based compensation as a result of
the sale of the Company's majority interest in Signatures.
The decrease in the Managed Application Services segment primarily resulted
from impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to the
cessation of operations at 1stUp and ExchangePath as well as the sale of
Activate in September 2001.
The decrease in the Portals segment primarily resulted from impairment
charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets
of iCAST and MyWay.
The Company anticipates that the amortization of intangible assets and
stock-based compensation will remain relatively constant through July 31, 2002,
at which time the Company expects to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) Nos. 141 and 142. In accordance with these statements,
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer
be amortized but will be subject to periodic impairment tests. Other intangible
assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

======= === ========== === =========== ====
The Company records impairment charges as a result of management's ongoing
business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy
regarding impairment of long-lived assets. Where impairment indicators were
identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by
comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value.
Management determines fair value of goodwill and certain other intangible
assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is
based upon converting expected cash flows to present value, and the market
approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies
engaged in lines of business similar to the Company. The market price multiples
are selected and applied to the Company based on the relative performance,
future prospects and risk profile of the Company in comparison to the guideline
companies. Management predominantly utilizes third-party valuation reports in
its determination of fair value. Management predominantly determines fair value
of other long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, based on third
party valuation reports. As a result, during management's quarterly review of
the value and periods of amortization and depreciation of long-lived assets, it
was determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived assets was not
fully recoverable. During the six months ended January 31, 2002, the Company
recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $47.9 million.
The impairment of long-lived assets charge recorded during the six months
ended January 31, 2002 within the Enterprise Software and Services segment
primarily reflects an asset impairment charge related to AltaVista's agreement
to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased under operating and
capital lease agreements in exchange for a cash payment of $20.0 million. Based
on a preliminary independent appraisal, the fair market value of the equipment
was determined to be $7.9 million. Accordingly, as the fair market value of the
equipment was less than the sum of the cash payment and the carrying value of
the equipment under capital lease agreements, net of the remaining obligations,
AltaVista recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets in the six month
period ended January 31, 2002. Additionally, Tallan recorded an impairment of
long-lived assets charge resulting from the carrying value of certain other
intangible assets, specifically the customer base and workforce in place as of
the acquisition date, exceeding their estimated fair value at January 31, 2002.
The impairment on long-lived assets charge recorded during the six months
ended January 31, 2002 within the Managed Application Services segment reflects
an asset impairment charge related to two different agreements to purchase
certain equipment by NaviSite that it previously leased under operating leases.
Under the terms of the first agreement, NaviSite purchased and recorded
equipment, effective August 1, 2001, with a fair market value of $9.6 million,
in exchange for a note payable of approximately $35.0 million. Accordingly, as
the fair value of the equipment, based on a preliminary independent appraisal,
was less than the associated debt obligation, NaviSite recorded an impairment
charge on long-lived assets in the six months ended January 31, 2002 of
approximately $25.4 million. Additionally, in accordance with the second
agreement, NaviSite purchased all equipment previously leased under an
operating lease for $4.3 million. The fair market value of the equipment at the
time of purchase was $2.3 million. Accordingly, as the fair value of the
equipment, based on a preliminary independent appraisal, was less than the cash
payment, NaviSite recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets in the six
months ended January 31, 2002 of approximately $2.0 million.
34
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2002, NaviSite incurred a $7.2
million charge related to: (1) the purchase of certain equipment in excess of
fair market value that was previously held under operating leases; (2) the
modification of payment terms of certain operating leases that resulted in
above market capital leases; and (3) the identification of certain leased
assets that will not provide future value and (4) the identification of
obsolete equipment and software and for equipment no longer on hand.
The impairment of long-lived asset charge recorded during the six months
ended January 31, 2002 within the Other segment of approximately $2.3 million
is due to a write-off of certain assets, primarily of software and consulting
fees capitalized in the development of software for internal use, computer
equipment and furniture and fixtures at the Company's headquarters.

The Company's restructuring initiatives involved strategic decisions to exit
certain businesses or to re-evaluate the current state of on-going businesses.
Restructuring charges consisted primarily of contract terminations, severance
charges and equipment charges incurred as a result of the cessation of
operations of certain subsidiaries and actions taken at several remaining
subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further
reduce expenses. Severance charges include employee termination costs as a
result of a reduction in workforce and salary expense for certain employees
involved in the restructuring efforts. Employees affected by the restructuring
were notified both through direct personal contact and by written notification.
The contract terminations primarily consisted of costs to exit facility and
equipment leases and to terminate bandwidth and other vendor contracts. The
asset impairment charges primarily relate to the write-off of property and
equipment.
The net restructuring charges incurred during the six months ended January
31, 2002 in the Enterprise Software and Services segment primarily related to
charges of approximately $12.5 million at Engage, $10.8 million at AltaVista,
$4.0 million at Tallan, partially offset by a reversal of approximately $3.6
million and $1.4 million of previously recorded restructuring charges at Engage
and Tribal Voice, respectively. The restructuring charge recorded by Engage was
primarily due to the closing of its on-line advertising operations and
implementation of a restructuring plan designed to reduce its corporate
overhead costs through reductions in the size of its finance and marketing
staffs. The closing of the on-line advertising business resulted in severance
costs incurred in connection with the termination of approximately 232
employees and contract termination costs in connection with the costs to exit
facility and equipment leases. The restructuring charge recorded by AltaVista
primarily related to severance costs associated with a reduction in the
workforce of approximately 120 persons, costs associated with the closing of
its Irving, California office location, the write-off of an information systems
software package and the write-off of fixed assets as a result of AltaVista's
decision to shut-down its European data center. The restructuring charge
recorded by Tallan primarily related to severance costs associated with a
reduction in the workforce of approximately 72 persons, as well as costs
associated with the closing of five office locations. The restructuring
benefits recorded by Engage and Tribal Voice related to favorable settlements
of contractual obligations for amounts less than originally estimated.
35
The net restructuring benefit recorded during the six months ended January
31, 2002 in the Managed Application Services segment primarily related to
charges of approximately $3.1 million recorded by NaviPath, offset by a
reversal of approximately $21.1 million of previously recorded restructuring
charges at NaviPath. The restructuring charge recorded by NaviPath primarily
related to severance costs and legal and other professional fees incurred in
connection with the cessation of its operations. The restructuring benefit
recorded by NaviPath related to the settlement by NaviPath of certain purchase
commitments and service contracts for amounts less than originally estimated.
The net restructuring charge incurred in the Portals segment primarily
related to charges of approximately $6.3 million at MyWay related to the
write-off of property and equipment and the termination of customer and vendor
contracts, partially offset by a reversal of approximately $1.4 million of
previously recorded restructuring charges at MyWay. The restructuring benefit
recorded by MyWay related to the favorable settlement of contractual
obligations for amounts less than originally estimated.
The net restructuring charges incurred in the Other segment of $2.8 million
primarily related to severance costs incurred in connection with the
termination of approximately 70 employees at the Corporate headquarters and the
write-off of property and equipment and costs incurred to exit facility leases
in Europe partially offset by a restructuring benefit of approximately $0.5
million recorded by CMG@Ventures related to the favorable negotiation of the
termination of a real estate lease.
Other Income/Expenses:
There were no gains on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates in
the six months ended January 31, 2002. Loss on issuance of stock by
subsidiaries and affiliates in the six months ended January 31, 2001 primarily
related to a pre-tax gain of approximately $125.9 million on the issuance of
stock by Engage in its acquisitions of MediaBridge and Space Media Holdings
Limited partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $3.7 million on the
issuance of stock by Engage to employees as a result stock option exercises.
Other gains (losses), net decreased $147.6 million, or 123%, to $(26.7)
million for the six months ended January 31, 2002 from $120.4 million for the
same period in fiscal 2001. Other gains (losses), net for the six months ended
January 31, 2002 primarily consisted of a pre-tax loss of approximately $27.5
million on the sale of Primedia, Inc. stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately
$20.7 million resulting from the sale of its subsidiary Activate and a pre-tax
loss of approximately $27.0 million related to impairment charges for
other-than-temporary declines in the carrying value of certain investments in
affiliates, offset by a pre-tax gain of approximately $53.9 million on the
arrangement that hedged the Company's investment in Yahoo! common stock which
was settled during the six months ended January 31, 2002. Other gains (losses),
net for the six months ended January 31, 2001 primarily consisted of a pre-tax
gain of approximately $357.4 million on the sale of Lycos, Inc common stock, a
pre-tax gain of approximately $135.3 million on the sale of Kana
Communications, Inc. common stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $89.9
million on the hedging agreement with respect to the Company's investment in
Yahoo! common stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $64.2 million on the sale
of Terra Networks stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $70.9 million on the
sale of Critical Path, Inc. common stock and a pre-tax gain of approximately
$19.8 million on the sale of a real estate holding by AltaVista, partially
offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $358.9 million on the sale of Pacific
Century CyberWorks Limited stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $95.9 million
on the sale of AltaVista's wholly-owned subsidiary, Raging Bull and by a
pre-tax loss of approximately $148.8 million related to impairment charges
taken on certain available-for-sale securities held by the Company.
Interest income decreased $22.0 million to $9.9 million for the six months
ended January 31, 2002 from $31.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2001,
reflecting decreased interest income associated with lower average cash and
cash equivalent balances. Interest expense decreased $35.4 million to $(2.4)
million for the six months ended January 31, 2002 from $33.0 million for the
same period in fiscal 2001, primarily due to a favorable fair market value
adjustment of approximately $16.7 million related to the decrease in value of
the obligation to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, the
payment in full in fiscal 2001 of the principal on the notes issued in
connection with the acquisition of Tallan, the settlement of the underlying
debt associated with the borrowing arrangement entered into in connection with
a hedge of the Company's investment
36
in Yahoo! common stock and the retirement of the notes payable to Compaq in
November of 2001, offset slightly by interest expense resulting from the
obligation to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and the
amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of NaviSite's note payable to
CFS.
Equity in losses of affiliates resulted from the Company's minority
ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity
method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's proportionate
share of each affiliate's operating losses and amortization of the Company's
net excess investment over its equity in each affiliate's net assets is
included in equity in losses of affiliates. Equity in losses of affiliates
decreased $16.0 million to $13.4 million for six months ended January 31, 2002,
from $29.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, primarily reflecting a
decreased number of investments accounted for under the equity method compared
to the same period last year. The Company expects its affiliate companies to
continue to invest in the development of their products and services, and to
recognize operating losses, which will result in future charges recorded by the
Company to reflect its proportionate share of such losses.
Minority interest decreased to $31.9 million for the six months ended
January 31, 2002 from $339.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2001,
primarily as a result of reduced losses at AltaVista and Engage. Minority
interest for the six months ended January 31, 2002 primarily reflects the
minority interest in the net losses of three subsidiaries: Engage, AltaVista
and NaviSite.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit):
Income tax expense recorded for the six months ended January 31, 2002 was
$12.6 million. Exclusive of taxes provided for significant, unusual or
extraordinary items that will be reported separately, the Company provides for
income taxes on a year to date basis at an effective rate based upon its
estimate of full year earnings. Income tax expense for the six months ended
January 31, 2002 differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal
income tax rate of 35 percent to pre-tax loss primarily as a result of
non-deductible goodwill amortization and impairment charges, and valuation
allowances recognized on deferred tax assets. During the six months ended
January 31, 2002, the Company recorded tax expense of approximately $12.6
million for the recognition of a valuation allowance to continuing operations
due to the reduction in expected future taxable income related to unrealized
gains in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)".
Extraordinary Item:
During the six months ended January 31, 2002, the Company recorded an
extraordinary gain of approximately $133.1 million related to the
extinguishment of the Company's $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable
to Compaq. As part of an agreement between the Company and Compaq, Compaq
agreed to deem the Company's $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable,
plus accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in
cash, approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI's 49%
ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions LLC, of which Compaq had
previously owned the remaining 51%. The gain was calculated as the difference
between the carrying value of the notes payable plus accrued interest thereon,
less the carrying value of the consideration exchanged. The carrying value of
the consideration approximated fair market value at the date of the transaction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at January 31, 2002 decreased to approximately $274.7
million compared to $581.3 million at July 31, 2001. The net decrease in
working capital is primarily attributable to a $80.5 million decrease in
available-for-sale securities, a $42.8 million decrease in accounts receivable
and a $298.6 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The Company's
principal sources of capital during the six months ended January 31, 2002 were
from the sales of approximately 7.1 million shares of Primedia, Inc. common
stock for proceeds of approximately $15.9 million and from the net maturities
of other available-for-sale securities investments for proceeds of
approximately $21.4 million. The Company's principal uses of capital during the
six months ended January 31, 2002 were $136.1 million for funding operations,
$100.3 million for the retirement of the Series C Preferred Stock, $75.0
million for the retirement of notes payable to Compaq and $30.0 million for
purchases of property and equipment.
On August 1, 2001, the Company settled the final tranche of the borrowing
arrangement that hedged the Company's investment in the common stock of Yahoo!
through the delivery of 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock.
37
On August 18, 2001, the Company issued approximately 5.4 million shares of
its common stock to Compaq as a semi-annual interest payment of approximately
$11.5 million related to notes payable issued to Compaq in the acquisition of
AltaVista.
In September 2001, the Company received a federal income tax refund of
approximately $14.0 million as a result of overpayment of the prior year's
estimated tax payments.
On October 29, 2001, the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries,
AltaVista and NaviSite entered into agreements with Compaq, a significant
stockholder of CMGI, and Compaq's wholly owned subsidiary, CFS. Under certain
terms of these agreements NaviSite purchased and recorded equipment from CFS
effective August 1, 2001, previously leased by NaviSite under operating lease
agreements expiring through 2003, in exchange for a note payable of
approximately $35.0 million. The $35.0 million due to CFS was executed in the
form of a convertible note payable to CFS in the total amount of $55.0 million
on November 8, 2001, as described below. As of January 31, 2002, the $55.0
million due to CFS has been classified as long term Due to Compaq Computer
Corporation and Compaq Financial Services Corporation in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of amounts allocated to beneficial
conversion features.
Additionally, under the terms of these agreements, AltaVista agreed to
purchase certain equipment, which it had previously leased from CFS under
operating and capital lease agreements, in exchange for a cash payment of $20.0
million. In November 2001, AltaVista completed and recorded the purchase of
this equipment.
On November 8, 2001, as part of the agreement with CFS, NaviSite received
$20.0 million in cash from CFS in exchange for a six-year, convertible note
payable. This note, which also relates to the $35.0 million equipment purchase
described above, bears interest at 12% and requires payment of interest only
for the first three years from the date of issuance. A portion of the interest
payable to CFS in the first two years may be paid in NaviSite common stock.
Principal and interest payments are due on a straight-line basis commencing in
year four until maturity on the sixth anniversary from the issuance date. The
convertible note payable is secured by substantially all assets of NaviSite and
cannot be prepaid. The principal balance may be converted into NaviSite common
stock at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity at a conversion
rate of $0.26 per share. Should CFS convert its note payable into the
NaviSite's common stock, CFS would own a controlling interest in NaviSite.
Also, on November 8, 2001, as part of this agreement, Compaq agreed to deem
the Company's $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued
interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in cash,
approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI's 49% ownership
interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions, LLC.
In November 2001, the Company consummated the repurchase of all the
outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to privately
negotiated stock exchange agreements with the holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock. In connection therewith, the Company announced the retirement of the
Series C Preferred Stock effective immediately. Under this agreement, the
Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock
for aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $100.3 million in cash,
approximately 34.7 million shares of the Company's common stock, and an
obligation to deliver, no later than December 2, 2002, approximately 448.3
million shares of PCCW stock. In addition, due to the delayed delivery
obligation with respect to the PCCW shares, the Company agreed to make cash
payments to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, on the dates
and in the aggregate amounts as follows: approximately $3.7 million on
February 9, 2002, approximately $3.5 million on May 17, 2002, approximately
$3.8 million on August 19, 2002, approximately $3.7 million on November 19,
2002 and approximately $0.5 million on December 2, 2002. The obligation to make
payments ceases upon delivery of the PCCW shares and any payment due for the
period during which the PCCW shares are delivered to the former holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock will be reduced on a pro rata basis. The Company made
the cash payment due on February 19, 2002 as scheduled.
In January 2002, the Company purchased approximately $15.0 million of
commercial paper. These investments had a original maturity dates greater than
90 days at acquisition and are therefore classified as marketable securities as
of January 31, 2002.
38
The Company believes that existing working capital and the availability of
marketable securities, which could be sold or posted as collateral for cash
loans, will be sufficient to fund its operations, investments and capital
expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Should additional capital be
needed to fund future investment and acquisition activity, the Company may seek
to raise additional capital through the sale of certain subsidiaries, through
public or private offerings of the Company's or its subsidiaries' stock, or
through debt financing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company
will be able to raise additional capital on terms that are favorable to the
Company, or at all.
Contractual Obligations
The Company leases facilities and certain other machinery and equipment
under various non-cancelable operating leases and executory contracts expiring
through June 2016. Future minimum payments as of January 31, 2002 are as

The Company leases facilities and certain machinery and equipment under
non-cancelable capital lease arrangements, which are not included in the table
above. The present value of net minimum capital lease obligations is $7.1
million at January 31, 2002.
In August 2000, the Company announced it had acquired the exclusive naming
and sponsorship rights to the New England Patriots' new stadium, to be known as
"CMGI Field", for a period of fifteen years. In return for the naming and
sponsorship rights, the Company will pay $7.6 million per year for the first
ten years, with consumer price index adjustments for years eleven through
fifteen. The Company made its first semi-annual payment under this agreement in
January 2002. Jonathan Kraft, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, is
President and Chief Operating Officer of The Kraft Group, a private holding
company whose holdings include the New England Patriots and CMGI Field. Mr.
Kraft is also Vice Chairman of the New England Patriots.
Other contractual obligations primarily consist of an agreement between
AltaVista and DoubleClick, Inc. (DoubleClick). Under this agreement, AltaVista
is contractually obligated to use a portion of DoubleClick's ad-serving
technology through December 31, 2004. AltaVista estimates its remaining
contractual obligation to DoubleClick from the period February 1, 2002 through
December 31, 2004 will not exceed approximately $4.3 million.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, product
returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes,
39
restructuring, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance
that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
The Company has identified the accounting policies below as the policies
most critical to its business operations and the understanding of our results
of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on
our business operations is discussed throughout Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies
affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion
on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2001 Annual Report on
Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29,
2001 (as amended by Form 10-K/A filed on December 13, 2001.) Our critical
accounting policies are as follows:
. Revenue recognition
. Accounting for impairment of long-lived assets
. Restructuring expenses
. Accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns
. Loss Contingencies
Revenue recognition. The Company derives its revenue from three primary
sources: (i) sale of products, both merchandise and software licenses; (ii)
services and support revenue, which includes software maintenance and hosting
services; and (iii) the delivery of advertising impressions and e-mail based
direct marketing. As described below, significant management judgments and
estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in
any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing
of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or
utilized different estimates. For most of its transactions, the Company applies
the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 Revenue Recognition.
However, revenues from sales of software are recognized in accordance with
AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition with
Respect to Certain Arrangements.
Revenue from sales of merchandise is recognized upon shipment of the
merchandise and verification of the customer's credit card authorization or
receipt of cash. All shipping and handling fees billed to customers are
recognized as revenue and related costs as costs of revenue when incurred, as
long as the Company takes title to the products or assumes the risks and
rewards of ownership.
Revenue from software product licenses, database services and website
traffic audit reports are generally recognized when (i) a signed non-cancelable
software license exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the Company's fee is
fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is probable.
Revenue from software maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over
the term of each maintenance agreement, typically twelve months. Revenue from
professional services is recognized as the services are performed, collection
is probable and such revenues are contractually nonrefundable. Revenue from
multiple element arrangements involving products, services and support elements
is recognized in accordance with SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition with
Respect to Certain Arrangements, when vendor-specific objective evidence of
fair value does not exist for the delivered element. As required by SOP 98-9,
under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements are
deferred and subsequently recognized. The Company establishes sufficient
vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for services and support
elements based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately.
Accordingly, software license revenue for products developed is recognized
under the residual method in arrangements in which the software is sold with
one or both of the other elements. Revenue from license agreements that require
significant customizations and modifications to the software product is
deferred and recognized using the percentage of completion method. For
40
license arrangements involving customizations for which the amount of
customization effort cannot be reasonably estimated or when license
arrangements provide for customer acceptance, we recognize revenue under the
completed contract method of accounting.
The Company's advertising revenue is derived primarily from the delivery of
advertising impressions through its own or third-party Web sites. Revenue is
recognized in the period that the advertising impressions are delivered,
provided the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Revenue from
e-mail based direct marketing is recognized upon delivery of the e-mail to the
target audience that represents substantial completion of the contract
obligation.
Substantially all media and media management revenue is recognized on a
gross basis and amounts paid to websites where advertisements appear are
recorded as cost of revenue. Revenue is generally recognized gross of the
related website expense in arrangements in which the Company acts as the
principal in the transaction. Revenue is recognized net of the related Web site
expense in arrangements in which the Company primarily acts as a sales agent.
Revenue from server hosting, systems administration, application rentals and
Web site management services is generally billed and recognized over the term
of the contract based on actual usage.
Amounts billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria
are classified as deferred revenue.
Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company's management
performs on-going business reviews and, based on quantitative and qualitative
measures, assesses the need to record impairment losses on long-lived assets
used in operations when impairment indicators are present. Where impairment
indicators are identified, management determines the amount of the impairment
charge by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their fair
value. Management determines fair value based on a combination of the
discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected
future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes
analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business
similar to the company being evaluated. The market price multiples are selected
and applied to the company based on the relative performance, future prospects
and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies.
Management predominately utilizes third-party valuation reports in its
determination of fair value. The impairment policy is consistently applied in
evaluating impairment for each of the Company's wholly-owned and majority-owned
subsidiaries and investments. It is reasonably possible that the impairment
factors evaluated by management will change in subsequent periods, given that
the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in
material impairment charges in future periods.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
which we intend to adopt on July 1, 2002. Upon adoption, goodwill and
identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized. In addition, SFAS No. 142 is effective with respect to business
combinations in fiscal 2002, and as a result, we no longer amortize goodwill
for any acquisitions completed since the beginning of the fiscal year. SFAS No.
142 will require that we evaluate our goodwill and identifiable intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment. We are currently evaluating
the provisions of SFAS 142. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Restructuring Expenses. The Company assesses the need to record
restructuring charges in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring)" (EITF 94-3), EITF 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in
Connection with a Purchase Business Combination" and Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) No. 100, "Restructuring and Impairment Charges." In accordance with this
guidance, management must execute an exit plan that will result in the
incurrence of costs that have no future economic benefit. Also under the terms
of EITF 94-3 a liability for the restructuring charges is recognized in the
period management approves the restructuring plan. The Company recorded a
liability that primarily includes the
41
estimated severance and other costs related to employee benefits and certain
estimated costs to exit equipment and facility lease obligations, bandwidth
agreements and other service contracts. These estimates are based on the
remaining amounts due under various contractual agreements, adjusted for any
anticipated contract cancellation penalty fees or any anticipated amounts that
would reduce these obligations (i.e., subleases).
Accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the
collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts
receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer's credit worthiness
or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of
the recoverability of amounts due to us could be adversely affected. A reserve
for sales returns is established based on historical trends in product returns.
If the actual or future returns do not reflect the historical data, our net
revenue could be affected.
Loss Contingencies. The Company is subject to the possibility of various
loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company
considers the likelihood of the loss or impairment of an asset or the
incurrence of a liability as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the
amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency
is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset
has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The
Company regularly evaluates the current information available to us to
determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 will apply
to all business combinations that the Company enters into after June 30, 2001,
and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. SFAS No. 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new
statements, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will
no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in
accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives.
The Company is required to adopt these statements for accounting for
goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2003. Application of the non-amortization provisions of the statements is
indeterminable at January 31, 2002 as the Company intends to continue to
perform an impairment analysis of the remaining goodwill and other intangible
assets through the end of fiscal year 2002.
As of the date of adoption, August 1, 2002, we expect to have unamortized
goodwill in the amount of approximately $187.5 million, and unamortized
identifiable intangible assets in the amount of approximately $25.3 million,
both of which will be subjected to the transition provisions of SFAS No. 141
and No. 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill and identifiable
intangible assets was $63.7 million and $129.7 million for the three months and
six months ended January 31, 2002, respectively. Upon adoption on August 1,
2002, the Company will perform the required impairment tests of goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets and has not yet determined what effect these
tests will be on the operations and financial position of the Company. Because
of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting SFAS No. 141, excluding
the provisions that require that the purchase method of accounting be used for
all business combinations, and SFAS No. 142, it is not practicable to
reasonably estimate the impact of adopting these standards on our financial
statements at the date of this report, other than the cessation of amortizing
goodwill as noted above, including whether any transitional impairment losses
will be required to be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." This statement addresses the accounting treatment for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. The provisions of the statement apply to legal
obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result
from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of a
long-lived asset. The statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years
42
beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has not completed its analysis of
the impact of adopting SFAS No. 143, but does not expect this statement to have
a material impact on its operations or financial position.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment on Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. Under the new rules, the criteria required for classifying an asset as
held-for-sale have been significantly changed. Assets held-for-sale are stated
at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts, and depreciation is no
longer recognized. In addition, the expected future operating losses from
discontinued operations will be displayed in discontinued operations in the
period in which the losses are incurred rather than as of the measurement date.
More dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the
statement of operations under the new rules. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 144 to its condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a
number of risks, some of which are beyond the Company's control.
Forward-looking statements in this document and those made from time to time by
the Company through its senior management are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements concerning the expected future revenues or earnings
or concerning projected plans, performance, product development, product
release or product shipment, as well as other estimates related to future
operations are necessarily only estimates of future results and there can be no
assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from results
anticipated in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
following:
CMGI may not be profitable in the future.
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001, CMGI had an operating loss of
approximately $5.87 billion. During the three and six months ended January 31,
2002, CMGI had an operating loss of approximately $127.1 million and $334.2
million, respectively. CMGI anticipates continuing to incur significant
operating expenses in the future, including significant costs of revenue and
selling, general and administrative and amortization, impairment and
restructuring expenses. CMGI also has significant commitments and
contingencies, including with respect to real estate, machinery and equipment
leases and guarantees entered into by CMGI on behalf of itself and its
operating companies. As a result, CMGI expects to continue to incur operating
losses and can give no assurance that it will achieve profitability or be
capable of sustaining profitable operations. If CMGI is unable to reach
profitability, its business will be materially adversely affected.
CMGI may have problems raising money it needs in the future.
In recent years, CMGI has generally financed its operations with profits
from selling shares of stock of companies in which CMGI had invested directly
or through the @Ventures funds. Market and other conditions largely beyond
CMGI's control may affect its future ability to engage in such sales, the
timing of any such sales, and the amount of proceeds therefrom. Even if CMGI is
able to sell any such securities in the future, CMGI may not be able to sell at
favorable prices or on favorable terms. In addition, this funding source may
not be sufficient in the future, and CMGI may need to obtain funding from
outside sources. However, CMGI may not be able to obtain funding from outside
sources. In addition, even if CMGI finds outside funding sources, CMGI may be
required to issue to such outside sources securities with greater rights than
those currently possessed by holders of CMGI's common stock. CMGI may also be
required to take other actions, which may lessen the value of its common stock
or dilute its common stockholders, including borrowing money on terms that are
not favorable to CMGI or issuing additional shares of common stock. If CMGI
experiences difficulties raising money in the future, its business will be
materially adversely affected.
43
CMGI and its operating companies depend on third-party software, systems and
services.
CMGI and its operating companies rely on products and services of
third-party providers in their business operations. For example, uBid's
business relies on order management software and information systems provided
by Oracle and other third parties, as well as on Microsoft.NET enterprise
servers to run its auction website. There can be no assurance that CMGI or its
operating companies will not experience operational problems attributable to
the installation, implementation, integration, performance, features or
functionality of such third-party software, systems and services. Any
interruption in the availability or usage of the products and services provided
by third parties could have a material adverse effect on the business or
operations of CMGI or its operating companies.
CMGI depends on certain important employees, and the loss of any of those
employees may harm CMGI's business.
CMGI's performance is substantially dependent on the performance of its
executive officers and other key employees, in particular, David S. Wetherell,
CMGI's Chairman of the Board, George A. McMillan, CMGI's Chief Executive
Officer, and David S. Andonian, CMGI's President and Chief Operating Officer.
The familiarity of these individuals with the Internet industry makes them
especially critical to CMGI's success. In addition, CMGI's success is dependent
on its ability to attract, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel,
especially for its and its operating companies management teams. The loss of
the services of any of CMGI's executive officers or key employees may harm its
business. CMGI's success also depends on its continuing ability to attract,
train, retain and motivate other highly qualified technical and managerial
personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense.
There may be conflicts of interest among CMGI, CMGI's subsidiaries and their
respective officers, directors and stockholders.
Some of CMGI's officers and directors also serve as officers or directors of
one or more of CMGI's subsidiaries. In addition, David S. Wetherell, CMGI's
Chairman of the Board, has significant compensatory interests in certain of
CMGI's @Ventures venture capital affiliates. As a result, CMGI, CMGI's officers
and directors, and CMGI's subsidiaries and venture capital affiliates may face
potential conflicts of interest with each other and with stockholders.
Specifically, CMGI's officers and directors may be presented with situations in
their capacity as officers, directors or management of one of CMGI's
subsidiaries and venture capital affiliates that conflict with their fiduciary
obligations as officers or directors of CMGI or of another subsidiary or
affiliate.
CMGI's strategy of expanding its business through acquisitions of other
businesses and technologies presents special risks.
CMGI intends to continue to expand through the acquisition of businesses,
technologies, products and services from other businesses. Acquisitions involve
a number of special problems, including:
. difficulty integrating acquired technologies, operations and personnel
with the existing businesses;
. diversion of management attention in connection with both negotiating
the acquisitions and integrating the assets;
. strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to
oversee larger operations;
. the funding requirements for acquired companies may be significant;
. exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies;
. potential issuance of securities in connection with an acquisition with
rights that are superior to the rights of holders of CMGI's common
stock, or which may have a dilutive effect on the common stockholders;
44
. the need to incur additional debt; and
. the requirement to record potentially significant additional future
operating costs for the amortization of goodwill and other intangible
assets.
CMGI may not be able to successfully address these problems. Moreover,
CMGI's future operating results will depend to a significant degree on its
ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and manage operations while also
controlling expenses and cash burn. In addition, many of CMGI's investments are
in early-stage companies with limited operating histories and limited or no
revenues. CMGI may not continue to fund or successfully develop these young
companies to profitability.
CMGI must develop and maintain positive brand name awareness.
CMGI believes that establishing and maintaining the brand names of its
operating companies is essential to expanding its business and attracting new
customers. CMGI also believes that the importance of brand name recognition
will increase in the future because of the growing number of Internet companies
that will need to differentiate themselves. Promotion and enhancement of CMGI's
brand names will depend largely on its ability to provide consistently
high-quality products and services. For the foreseeable future, a large portion
of CMGI's promotional budget is committed to sponsorship of CMGI Field, the
stadium of the New England Patriots. If CMGI is unable to provide high-quality
products and services, the value of its brand names will suffer and CMGI's
business prospects may be adversely affected.
CMGI's quarterly results may fluctuate widely.
CMGI's operating results have fluctuated widely on a quarterly basis during
the last several years, and it expects to experience significant fluctuations
in future quarterly operating results. Many factors, some of which are beyond
CMGI's control, have contributed to these quarterly fluctuations in the past
and may continue to do so. Such factors include:
. demand for its products and services;
. payment of costs associated with its acquisitions, sales of assets and
investments;
. timing of sales of assets;
. market acceptance of new products and services;
. seasonality, especially in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment;
. charges for impairment of long-lived assets in future periods;
. potential restructuring charges in connection with CMGI's continuing
restructuring efforts;
. specific economic conditions in the industries in which CMGI competes;
and
. general economic conditions.
The emerging nature of the commercial uses of the Internet makes predictions
concerning CMGI's future revenues difficult. CMGI believes that
period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations will not necessarily
be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicative of its future
performance. It is also possible that in some fiscal quarters, CMGI's operating
results will be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In
such circumstances, the price of CMGI's common stock may decline.
The price of CMGI's common stock has been volatile and may fluctuate based on
the value of its assets.
The market price of CMGI's common stock has been, and is likely to continue
to be, volatile, experiencing wide fluctuations. In recent years, the stock
market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which have
particularly impacted the market prices of equity securities of many companies
providing Internet-
45
related products and services. Some of these fluctuations appear to be
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies.
Future market movements may adversely affect the market price of CMGI's common
stock. In addition, should the market price of CMGI's common stock drop below
$1.00 per share for extended periods in the future, it risks delisting from the
Nasdaq National Market, which would have an adverse effect on CMGI's business.
In addition, a portion of CMGI's assets includes the equity securities of
both publicly traded and privately held companies. The market price and
valuations of the securities that CMGI holds may fluctuate due to market
conditions and other conditions over which CMGI has no control. Fluctuations in
the market price and valuations of the securities that CMGI holds in other
companies may result in fluctuations of the market price of CMGI's common stock
and may reduce the amount of working capital available to CMGI. Finally, CMGI
is obligated to deliver, no later than December 2, 2002, approximately 448
million shares of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited to the former holders of
CMGI's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
CMGI relies on NaviSite for Web site hosting.
CMGI and many of its operating companies rely on NaviSite for network
connectivity and hosting of servers. If NaviSite fails to perform such
services, CMGI's internal business operations may be interrupted, and the
ability of CMGI's operating companies to provide services to customers may also
be interrupted. Such interruptions may have an adverse impact on CMGI's
business and revenues and its operating companies. In addition, in November
2001, NaviSite issued convertible notes to Compaq Financial Services
Corporation in the aggregate principal amount of $55 million. Upon conversion
of these notes, CMGI's ownership interests in NaviSite will drop below 50%.
The success of CMGI and its operating companies depends greatly on increased
use of the Internet by businesses and individuals.
The success of CMGI and its operating companies depends greatly on increased
use of the Internet for e-commerce transactions, advertising, marketing,
providing services and conducting business. Commercial use of the Internet is
currently at an early stage of development and the future of the Internet is
not clear. In addition, it is not clear how effective Internet advertising is
or will be, or how successful Internet-based sales will be. The businesses of
CMGI's operating companies will suffer if commercial use of the Internet fails
to grow in the future.
CMGI's operating companies are subject to intense competition.
The markets for Internet products and services are highly competitive and
lack significant barriers to entry, enabling new businesses to enter these
markets relatively easily. Competition in the markets for Internet products and
services may intensify in the future. Numerous well-established companies and
smaller entrepreneurial companies are focusing significant resources on
developing and marketing products and services that will compete with the
products and services of CMGI's operating companies. In addition, many of the
current and potential competitors of CMGI's operating companies have greater
financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than those of CMGI's
operating companies. CMGI's operating companies may not be able to compete
successfully against these competitors. Competitive pressures may also force
prices for Internet goods and services down and such price reductions may
reduce the revenues of CMGI's operating companies.
If the United States or other governments regulate the Internet more closely,
the businesses of CMGI's operating companies may be harmed.
Because of the Internet's popularity and increasing use, new laws and
regulations may be adopted. These laws and regulations may cover issues such as
privacy, pricing, taxation and content. The enactment of any additional laws or
regulations may impede the growth of the Internet and the Internet-related
business of CMGI's operating companies and could place additional financial
burdens on their businesses.
46
To succeed, CMGI's operating companies must respond to the rapid changes in
technology and distribution channels related to the Internet.
The markets for the Internet products and services of CMGI's operating
companies are characterized by:
. rapidly changing technology;
. evolving industry standards;
. frequent new product and service introductions;
. shifting distribution channels; and
. changing customer demands.
The success of CMGI's operating companies will depend on their ability to
adapt to this rapidly evolving marketplace. They may not be able to adequately
adapt their products and services or to acquire new products and services that
can compete successfully. In addition, CMGI's operating companies may not be
able to establish and maintain effective distribution channels.
CMGI's operating companies face security risks.
Consumer concerns about the security of transmissions of confidential
information over public telecommunications facilities is a significant barrier
to e-commerce and communications on the Internet. Many factors may cause
compromises or breaches of the security systems that CMGI's operating companies
or other Internet sites use to protect proprietary information, including
advances in computer and software functionality or new discoveries in the field
of cryptography. A compromise of security on the Internet would have a negative
effect on the use of the Internet for commerce and communications and
negatively impact CMGI's operating companies. Security breaches of their
activities or the activities of their customers and sponsors involving the
storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card
numbers, may expose CMGI's operating companies to a risk of loss or litigation
and possible liability. CMGI cannot assure that the security measures of CMGI's
operating companies will prevent security breaches.
The success of the global operations of CMGI's operating companies is subject
to special risks and costs.
CMGI's operating companies have begun, and intend to continue, to expand
their operations outside of the United States. This international expansion
will require significant management attention and financial resources. The
ability of CMGI's operating companies to expand their offerings of CMGI's
products and services internationally will be limited by the general acceptance
of the Internet and intranets in other countries. In addition, CMGI and its
operating companies have limited experience in such international activities.
Accordingly, CMGI and its operating companies expect to commit substantial time
and development resources to customizing the products and services of its
operating companies for selected international markets and to developing
international sales and support channels.
CMGI expects that the export sales of its operating companies will be
denominated predominantly in United States dollars. As a result, an increase in
the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies may make the
products and services of its operating companies more expensive and, therefore,
potentially less competitive in international markets. As CMGI's operating
companies increase their international sales, their total revenues may also be
affected to a greater extent by seasonal fluctuations resulting from lower
sales that typically occur during the summer months in Europe and other parts
of the world.
CMGI's operating companies could be subject to infringement claims.
From time to time, CMGI's operating companies have been, and expect to
continue to be, subject to third-party claims in the ordinary course of
business, including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property
rights. Any such claims may damage the businesses of CMGI's operating companies
by:
47
. subjecting them to significant liability for damages;
. resulting in invalidation of their proprietary rights;
. being time-consuming and expensive to defend even if such claims are not
meritorious; and
. resulting in the diversion of management time and attention.
CMGI's operating companies may have liability for information retrieved from
the Internet.
Because materials may be downloaded from the Internet and subsequently
distributed to others, CMGI's operating companies may be subject to claims for
defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, personal injury or
other theories based on the nature, content, publication and distribution of
such materials.

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risks on the marketable portion of
its equity securities. The Company's available-for-sale securities at January
31, 2002 primarily consist of investments in companies in the Internet and
technology industries which have experienced significant historical volatility
in their stock prices. The Company typically does not attempt to reduce or
eliminate its market exposure on these securities. A 20% adverse change in
equity prices, based on a sensitivity analysis of the equity component of the
Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio as of January 31, 2002, would
result in an approximate $5.9 million decrease in the fair value of the
Company's available-for-sale securities.
The carrying values of financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable,
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The
carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value, as estimated by
using discounted future cash flows based on the Company's current incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
The Company from time to time uses derivative financial instruments
primarily to reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates on its
borrowing arrangements. --See note K to the Interim Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not enter into derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes. As a matter of policy all
derivative positions are used to reduce risk by hedging underlying economic or
market exposure. The derivatives the Company uses are straightforward
instruments with liquid markets. At January 31, 2002, the Company was primarily
exposed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) interest rate on its
outstanding borrowing arrangements.
The Company has historically had very low exposure to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, and as such, has not used derivative financial
instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation risk. The Company may
consider utilizing derivative instruments to mitigate the risk of foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations in the future.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In December 1999, Neil Braun, a former officer of iCAST Corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("iCAST"), filed a complaint in United
States District Court, Southern District of New York naming the Company, iCAST
and David S. Wetherell as defendants. In the complaint, Mr. Braun alleged
breach of contract regarding his termination from iCAST and claimed that he was
entitled to acceleration of options to purchase CMGI common stock and iCAST
common stock, upon his termination, under contract and promissory estoppel
principles. Mr. Braun also claimed that, under quantum meruit principles, he
was entitled to lost compensation. Mr. Braun sought damages of approximately
$50 million and requested specific performance of the acceleration and exercise
of options. In August 2001, the Court (i) granted summary judgment dismissing
Mr. Wetherell as a defendant and (ii) granted summary judgment, disposing of
Mr. Braun's contract claim. In February 2002, the Court granted summary
judgment disposing of Mr. Braun's promissory estoppel claim. Trial on the
quantum meruit claim began in March 2002 and on March 11, 2002, the jury
returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Braun and against the Company in the amount
of $113,482.24. As to iCAST, the jury found that Mr. Braun had not proven his
claim. The Company has filed a motion for directed verdict, which motion seeks
to set aside the jury verdict against the Company. The period for post-trial
motions or an appeal with respect to these decisions has not expired and,
accordingly, Mr. Braun may seek to pursue such procedures.
In August 2001, Jeffrey Black, a former employee of AltaVista Company, filed
a complaint in Superior Court of the State of California (Santa Clara County)
in his individual capacity as well as in his capacity as a trustee of two
family trusts against the Company and AltaVista alleging certain claims arising
out of the termination of Mr. Black's employment with AltaVista. As set forth
in the complaint, Mr. Black is seeking monetary damages in excess of $70
million. The Company and AltaVista each believe these claims are without merit
and plan to vigorously defend against these claims. In March 2002, the Company
and AltaVista filed a petition with the court to compel arbitration in Boston,
Massachusetts and to stay the action.
On February 26, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the
individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell,
George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice).
The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties by the
Company and the individual defendants, and violations of Delaware law. The
complaint requests, among other things, that the court (i) enjoin Engage from
effecting a proposed reverse stock split, (ii) enjoin the issuance of shares of
Engage common stock to the Company upon conversion of promissory notes
previously issued by Engage to the Company, (iii) award rescissory relief if
the reverse stock split and stock issuances are consummated, and (iv) award the
plaintiff compensatory damages, attorneys' fees and expenses. On February 28,
2002, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied a request by the plaintiffs for the
scheduling of a preliminary injunction hearing, and denied a request to allow
expedited discovery in the lawsuit. The Company and Engage each believe these
claims are without merit and plan to vigorously defend against these claims.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
On November 8, 2001, the Company completed transactions pursuant to an
agreement with Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq") and Compaq Financial
Services Corporation, pursuant to which the Company exchanged a combination of
$75 million in cash, the Company's 49% ownership interest in its affiliate B2E
Solutions, LLC and an aggregate of 4,445,056 shares of the Company's Common
Stock with Compaq for $220 million in aggregate principal amount of promissory
notes issued by the Company, plus the accrued interest thereon. The shares of
Common Stock were issued and sold to Compaq in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a sale by the Company not involving a
public offering. No underwriters were involved with the issuance and sale of
the shares of Common Stock.
50
On November 20, 2001, the Company consummated the repurchase of all the
outstanding shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C
Preferred Stock") pursuant to privately negotiated stock exchange agreements
with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "Stockholders"). Pursuant
to the agreements, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of
Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration consisting of the
following: (1) $100,300,669 in cash, (2) an obligation to deliver, no later
than December 2, 2002, 448,347,107 Ordinary Shares of Pacific Century
CyberWorks Limited, and (3) 34,699,331 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
The shares of Common Stock were issued and sold to the Stockholders in reliance
on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a sale by the
Company not involving a public offering. No underwriters were involved with the
issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock.
On November 28, 2001, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware a Certificate of Elimination of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, the effect of which was to eliminate from the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation all matters set forth in the Certificate
of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock with respect to such class of stock.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
At the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the "Annual
Meeting") on December 19, 2001, the following matters were acted upon by the
stockholders of the Company:
1. The election of two Class II Directors for the ensuing three years;
2. The approval of an amendment to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase
Plan;
3. Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent auditors of
the Company for the current year; and
4. Consideration of a stockholder proposal regarding shareholding
requirements.
The number of shares of Common Stock issued, outstanding and eligible to
vote as of the record date of November 2, 2001 was 352,848,926. The other
directors of the Company, whose terms of office as directors continued after
the Annual Meeting, are David S. Wetherell, Jonathan Kraft and Peter McDonald.
Subsequent to the Annual Meeting, George A. McMillan was elected to the Board
of Directors, effective March 1, 2002. The results of the voting on each of the

Atherton, CA 94027
Dear Jim:
It is a distinct pleasure to offer you the position of Chief Executive Officer
of AltaVista Company ("AltaVista").
Your starting annualized salary will be $275,000 ("Initial Salary"), which
represents $11,458.33 semi-monthly. You will also be eligible to receive an
annualized target bonus for fiscal year 2002 of up to $75,000. Of the $75,000
annualized target bonus, $25,000 will be payable upon signing of this offer
letter. A prorated portion of the remaining $50,000 shall be paid and payable at
the conclusion of fiscal year 2002 in accordance with the standard CMGI, Inc.
("CMGI") executive bonus plan.
In addition, subject to the approval of the AltaVista Board of Directors and the
CMGI Compensation Committee, respectively, you will be awarded an option to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of AltaVista common stock (assuming 20,000,000 shares
fully diluted) ("AltaVista Option"), and an option to purchase 100,000 shares of
CMGI common stock under the CMGI 2000 Stock Incentive Plan ("CMGI Option"). The
AltaVista Option granted hereby shall vest as to 1/6 of the original number of
shares underlying the option on the 4 month anniversary of November 15, 2001 and
shall vest an additional 1/36 of the original shares underlying the option on
each monthly anniversary date thereafter until fully vested on the third
anniversary of November 15, 2001. The CMGI Option granted hereby shall vest as
to 25% of the original number of shares underlying the option on the 1st
anniversary of the date of grant and shall vest an additional 1/48 of the
original number of shares underlying the option on each monthly anniversary date
thereafter until fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant.
The CMGI Option's exercise price shall equal the closing price on the Nasdaq
National Market (during normal trading hours) on the day the option grant is
approved by the CMGI Compensation Committee. The AltaVista Option's exercise
price shall equal the fair market
value of AltaVista's common stock on the day the option grant is approved by the
AltaVista Board of Directors, as determined by the AltaVista Board of Directors.
The options shall be subject to all terms, limitations, restrictions and
termination provisions set forth in the respective plans and in the separate
option agreements that shall be executed to evidence the grant of any options.
In the event your employment is terminated by AltaVista for a reason other than
Cause (as defined on Exhibit A hereto), or by you for Good Reason (as defined on
Exhibit A hereto), AltaVista shall pay to you a severance payment equal to 6
months of your then-current base salary as in effect on the last day of your
employment (but in no case less than the Initial Salary). Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined on Exhibit A
hereto) of AltaVista and a subsequent termination of your employment for a
reason other than Cause or termination by you for Good Reason within 6 months
after a Change of Control, AltaVista (or the successor entity) shall pay to you
a severance payment equal to 12 months of your then-current base salary as in
effect on the last day of your employment (but in no case less than the Initial
Salary). The severance payment shall be paid in full within 15 business days
after the termination of your employment, unless AltaVista and you agree
otherwise. In no event shall you be entitled to a severance payment under both
the first and second sentences of this paragraph. Additionally, in the event
that there occurs a termination giving rise to a severance payment by AltaVista
to you, as a condition to AltaVista's payment obligation, you shall execute a
release, based on AltaVista's standard form (including confidentiality and
non-solicitation provisions), of any and all claims you may have against
AltaVista or CMGI, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and
affiliates relating to your employment (and not including any claims you may
have as a stockholder or any right to enforce any post-employment obligations
owed to you, including rights to exercise stock options pursuant to the terms of
the applicable option agreements). You hereby understand and agree that the
payment of any severance amount to you by AltaVista or its successor, in the
event of a Change in Control, is contingent on your execution of the previously
described release of claims. The payment to you of the severance amounts shall
be your sole remedy in the event of a termination of your employment.
Additionally, in the event of a Change of Control of AltaVista and a subsequent
termination of your employment by AltaVista for a reason other than Cause or by
you for Good Reason, 100% of the then-unvested portions of your AltaVista Option
and CMGI Option shall immediately become exercisable in full and shall be deemed
fully vested. In the event of a termination of employment by AltaVista for a
reason other than Cause or by you, you shall have the right to exercise any
vested portion of your CMGI Option for 30 days after such termination date
(unless the options terminate sooner by the terms of the underlying CMGI Option
Agreement) and vested portion of your AltaVista Option following such
termination of employment, unless the options terminate sooner by the terms of
the underlying AltaVista Option Agreement, as follows:
- you shall have at least 90 days following the termination date of your
employment to exercise your vested AltaVista options;
- you shall be entitled to exercise your vested AltaVista options
following the termination date of your employment for a number of
months following such termination date equal to the number of months
you worked for AltaVista (rounded up to the next month in the event
the termination date is on or after the 15th day of the month);
- in no event shall you be entitled to exercise vested AltaVista options
following your termination date for a period greater than 365 days.
The execution of AltaVista's Non-Solicitation Agreement is required as a
condition of AltaVista and CMGI granting you the above-described options to
purchase AltaVista and CMGI common stock.
Additionally, as a condition of employment with AltaVista, you are required to
execute the enclosed Non-Disclosure and Developments Agreement.
As an employee of AltaVista, you may participate in any and all benefit programs
that AltaVista establishes and makes generally available to its employees from
time to time, provided you are eligible under (and subject to all provisions of)
the plan documents governing those programs. Additionally, you will accrue
vacation at a rate of 10.00 hours per month (3 weeks per year) beginning on your
first month of employment. Details of the benefits offered will be reviewed with
you in orientation on your first day of employment.
In accordance with current federal law, you will be asked to provide
documentation proving your eligibility to work in the United States. Please
review the enclosed notice regarding the Immigration Reform and Control Act and
bring proper documentation with you on your first day.
Please confirm your acceptance of this offer letter and the terms contained
therein by signing one copy of this letter and returning it to me. Additionally,
please sign and return the enclosed Non-Disclosure and Developments Agreement
and the Non-Solicitation Agreement. Both the Non-Disclosure and Developments
Agreement and the Non-Solicitation Agreement must be returned to me no later
than one week prior to your start date.
YOUR EMPLOYMENT WITH ALTAVISTA WILL BE "AT-WILL". This means that your
employment with AltaVista may be terminated by either you or AltaVista at any
time and for any reason, with or without notice. This offer expires as of the
close of business on Monday, November 29, 2001. This offer (and the documents
and agreements referenced herein) constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties and supersedes all prior offers, both oral and written. This letter does
not constitute a guarantee of employment or a contract.
We are very pleased by the prospect of your addition to the AltaVista management
team, and we are confident that you will make a significant contribution to our
future success!
Sincerely,
/s/ David S. Andonian
