PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read this entire prospectus carefully.
Our Business
We operate Internet Exchange Point facilities at strategic locations in Florida, California and Sao Paulo from which we assist users of the Internet and large communications networks in communicating with other users and networks. Our primary facility is the NAP of the Americas, located in Miami, Florida, where we provide exchange point, colocation and managed services to carriers, Internet service providers, network service providers, government entities, multi-national enterprises and other end users.
Internet Exchanges, or IXs, are locations where two or more networks meet to interconnect and exchange Internet and data traffic, such as traffic of data, voice, images, video and all forms of digital telecommunications, much like air carriers meet at airports to exchange passengers and cargo. Instead of airlines and transportation companies, however, participation in IXs comes from telecommunications carriers, Internet service providers and large telecommunications and Internet users in general. Tier-1 IXs are large centers that access and distribute Internet traffic and, following the airport analogy, operate much like large, international airport passenger and cargo transportation terminals or “hubs.”
Initially, four IXs — in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and San Francisco — were created and supported by the National Science Foundation as part of the transition from the United States government-financed Internet to a commercially operated Internet. Since that time, privately owned IXs have been developed, including the NAP of the Americas.
Our Internet Exchange Point facilities are carrier-neutral. We enable our customers to freely choose from among the many carriers available at our Internet Exchange Point facilities. We believe the carrier neutrality provides us with a competitive advantage when compared to carrier-operated Internet Exchange Point facilities where customers are limited to conducting business with one carrier.
We generate revenue by providing our customers with:
• | the site and platform they need to exchange Internet and data traffic; | |
• | related professional and managed services; and | |
• | space to house their equipment and their network facilities in order to be close to the Internet and data traffic exchange connections that take place at our Internet Exchange Point facilities. | |
Currently, our customers include telecommunications carriers such as AT&T, MCI, Qwest and Sprint, enterprises such as Bacardi USA, Intrado and Steiner Leisure, and government agencies including the Diplomatic Telecommunications Services Programming Office (DTSPO, a division of the United States Department of State), the United States Southern Command and the City of Coral Gables.
Our Financial Condition
From our April 2000 merger with AmTec through March 31, 2004, we have incurred net operating losses of approximately $222.5 million. Our cash flows from operations for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were negative and our working capital deficit was approximately $10.2 million and $38.3 million as of March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively.
On May 17, 2004, we provided certain debenture holders with notice of our intent to redeem $25.0 million of our 10% convertible debentures and $2.8 million of our 13.125% convertible debentures, effective May 31, 2004. As of May 31, 2004, all of the holders of our 10% convertible debentures and $2.5 million in principal of our 13.125% convertible debentures opted to convert their debentures into an aggregate of 54,726,427 shares of our common stock.

Table of Contents
On June 14, 2004, we privately placed $86.25 million in aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Convertible Notes due June 15, 2009. We used the net proceeds from this offering to pay all of our outstanding debt amounting to $40.5 million. The balance of the proceeds will be used for possible acquisitions and for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. The notes are convertible at the option of the holders into our common stock at $1.25 per share. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Liquidity and Capital Resources” for the impact of this transaction on our financial condition.
Based on customer contracts signed as of June 14, 2004, existing contracts, including those with the U.S. Government and enterprises, and expected future contracts from potential customers currently in our sales pipeline we project that our cash flow from operations will be positive by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005. We have identified additional potential customers, including the federal, state and local governments, and are actively offering available services to them. However, our projected revenues and planned cash needs depend on several factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the rate at which our services are sold to the government sector and the commercial sector, the ability to retain our customer base, the willingness and timing of potential customers outsourcing the housing and management of their technology infrastructure to us, the reliability and cost-effectiveness of our services and our ability to market our services.
As of March 31, 2004, we had not paid approximately $719,000 relating to a capital lease. We have negotiated a payment plan with the vendor and are making partial payments.
As of March 31, 2004, we had not paid approximately $489,000 related to our 2002 tangible property taxes. We have negotiated a payment plan with the Miami-Dade Tax Collector and are current with respect to the plan.
Our Strategy
The NAP of the Americas created a new business model for network access points by providing customers with:
• | the connectivity of a world-class IX in a carrier-neutral facility; | |
• | highly conditioned space within which to locate equipment next to other customers; and | |
• | managed services meeting the design and operational specifications of multinational carriers, enterprises and government customers. |
Our strategy is to leverage our major connectivity hubs to sell services to customers within and outside of our Internet Exchange Point facilities. For example, we have been retained by the U.S. Diplomatic Telecommunications Services Program Office, under three publicly awarded contracts, to design, implement and manage a system which will permit designated overseas locations to have global internet access. Although the NAP of the Americas serves as the hub, we are leveraging our international carrier relationships to provide this customer with connectivity and technology to communicate with U.S. government locations around the world.
Our History
We were formed in 1982 and, along with our subsidiaries, were engaged in the development, sale, leasing, management and financing of various real estate projects. We provided these services to private and institutional investors, as well as for our own account. The real estate projects with which we were involved included retail, high-rise office buildings, mixed-use projects, condominiums, hotels and governmental assisted housing. We were also involved in a number of ancillary businesses that complemented our core development operations. Specifically, we engaged in brokering financial services, property management, construction management, condominium hotel management, residential sales and commercial leasing and brokerage, and advisory services.

On April 28, 2000, Terremark Holdings, Inc. completed a reverse merger with AmTec, Inc., a public company. Contemporaneous with the reverse merger, we changed our corporate name to Terremark Worldwide, Inc. and adopted “TWW” as our trading symbol on the American Stock Exchange. Historical information of the surviving company is that of Terremark Holdings, Inc. In conjunction with our development of the NAP of the Americas, we began to redefine and focus our strategy on providing housing and management of Internet and telecommunications infrastructure and began implementing a plan to exit all lines of business and real estate activities not directly related to the TerreNAP Center strategy. Lines of business discontinued included IP fax services, unified messaging services, and telephony. Non-core real estate activities exited included real estate development, property management, financing and the ancillary businesses that complemented the real estate development operations. Our real estate activities currently include technology construction work and management of the property where the NAP of the Americas is located. As of March 31, 2002, we had completed the exit of lines of business and real estate activities not related to our TerreNAP Center strategy.
Our principal executive office is located at 2601 S. Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida 33133. Our telephone number is (305) 856-3200.

RISK FACTORS
We may not be able to compete effectively in the market for data center services. |
The market for data center services is extremely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Our current and potential competitors include providers of data center services, global, regional and local telecommunications companies and Regional Bell Operating Companies, and information technology outsourcing firms. Many of our existing competitors have greater market presence and financial and personnel resources than we do. Our competitors include Internet data centers operated by established communications carriers such as AT&T, Level 3, MCI and Qwest. We also compete with providers of data services centers, regional Bell operating companies that offer Internet access and information technology outsourcing firms. The principal competitive factors in our market include:
• | ability to deliver services when requested by the customer; | |
• | Internet system engineering and other professional services expertise; | |
• | customer service; | |
• | network capability, reliability, quality of service and scalability; | |
• | variety of managed services offered; | |
• | access to network resources, including circuits, equipment and interconnection capacity to other networks; | |
• | broad geographic presence; | |
• | price; | |
• | ability to maintain and expand distribution channels; | |
• | brand name recognition; | |
• | timing of introductions of new services; | |
• | physical and network security; | |
• | financial resources; and | |
• | customer base. |
Some of our competitors may be able to develop and expand their data center services faster, devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can. In addition, these competitors have entered and will likely continue to enter into business relationships to provide additional services that compete with the services we provide.
We anticipate that an increasing portion of our revenues will be from contracts with agencies of the United States government, and uncertainties in government contracts could adversely affect our business. |
Generally, U.S. Government contracts are subject to oversight audits by government representatives, to profit and cost controls and limitations, and to provisions permitting modification or termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the government’s convenience. In some cases, government contracts are subject to the uncertainties surrounding congressional appropriations or agency funding. Government contracts are subject to specific procurement regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracting for a period of time.

Table of Contents
We have significant debt service obligations which will require the use of a substantial portion of our available cash. |
On a proforma basis after the issuance of our $86.25 million in 9% Senior Notes due June 15, 2009, and application of the proceeds from the issuance, our total liabilities are approximately $107.0 million, obligations guaranteed by us were $10.1 million and our total shareholders’ equity was $8.2 million.
Each of these obligations requires significant amounts of liquidity. Should we need additional capital or financing, our ability to arrange financing and the cost of this financing will depend upon many factors, including:
• | general economic and capital markets conditions, and in particular the non-investment grade debt market; | |
• | conditions in the Internet infrastructure market; | |
• | credit availability from banks or other lenders; | |
• | investor confidence in the telecommunications industry generally and our company specifically; and | |
• | the success of our facilities. | |
We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our success. |
We are highly dependent on the services of key personnel, particularly Manuel D. Medina, our Chairman. In an attempt to reduce costs, we have eliminated some management positions. Our potential growth and expansion and the merger and integration of separate businesses, are expected to place increased demands on our management skills and resources. Therefore, our success also depends upon our ability to hire and retain additional skilled and experienced management personnel. Employment and retention of qualified personnel is important due to the competitive nature of our industry.
If we do not locate financial or strategic partners, we may have to delay or abandon expansion plans. |
Expenditures commence well before a TerreNAP Center opens, and it may take an extended period to approach break-even capacity utilization. It takes a significant period of time to select the appropriate location for a new TerreNAP Center, construct the necessary facilities, install equipment and telecommunications infrastructure and hire operations and sales personnel. As a result, we expect that individual TerreNAP Center will experience losses for more than one year from the time they are opened. As a part of our TerreNAP Center strategy, we intend to rely on third-party financial or strategic partners to fund the development costs. If we are unable to establish such third-party relationships, we may delay or abandon some or all of our development and expansion plans or otherwise forego market opportunities, making it difficult for us to generate additional revenue and to respond to competitive pressures.
Our president, chairman and chief executive officer, cannot be removed without cause which could delay, defer or prevent change in control of our company or impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination. |
Under the terms of our agreement with Manuel D. Medina, our President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as long as Mr. Medina’s guarantees of our debt exist, we have agreed to nominate Mr. Medina to our board of directors and not remove Mr. Medina, unless for good cause, or remove any of our officers without Mr. Medina’s consent. This could delay, defer or prevent change in control of our company or impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination that you, as a stockholder, may otherwise view favorably.

If the price of our shares remains low or our financial condition deteriorates, we may be delisted by the American Stock Exchange. |
Our common stock currently trades on the American Stock Exchange (Amex). The Amex requires companies to fulfill specific requirements in order for their shares to continue to be listed. Our securities may be considered for delisting if:
• | our financial condition and operating results appear to be unsatisfactory; | |
• | it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the securities has become so reduced as to make further dealings on the Amex inadvisable; or | |
• | we have sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to our overall operations or our existing financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable whether we will be able to continue operations and/or meet our obligations as they mature. |
For example, the Amex may consider suspension or delisting of a stock if the stock has been selling for a substantial period of time at a low price per share. Our common stock has been trading at relatively low prices for the past eighteen months and we have sustained net losses for the past three fiscal years. Therefore, our common stock is at risk of being delisted by the Amex. If our shares are delisted from the Amex, our stockholders could find it difficult to sell our stock. To date we have had no communication from the Amex regarding delisting. If our common stock is delisted from the Amex, we may apply to have our shares quoted on NASDAQ’s Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets” maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. The Bulletin Board and the “pink sheets” are generally considered to be less efficient markets than the Amex. In addition, if our shares are no longer listed on the Amex or another national securities exchange in the United States, our shares may be subject to the “penny stock” regulations. If our common stock were to become subject to the penny stock rules it is likely that the price of our common stock would decline and that our stockholders would find it difficult to sell their shares.
Our business could be harmed by prolonged electrical power outages or shortages, or increased costs of energy. |
Our NAP facilities are susceptible to regional costs of power, electrical power shortages and planned or unplanned power outages caused by these shortages. A power shortage may result in an increase of the cost of energy, which we may not be able to pass on to our customers. We attempt to limit exposure to system downtime by using backup generators and power supplies. Power outages, which last beyond our backup and alternative power arrangements, could harm our customers and our business.
Brazilian political and economic conditions may have an adverse impact on our operations. |
Our results of operations and financial condition may be affected by inflation in each country in which we manage a facility. We maintain operations in Brazil, which has had in the past, and may have now or in the future, a highly inflationary economy, defined as cumulative inflation of about 100% or more over a three calendar year period. Future increases in our costs may exceed the rate of inflation or the amounts, if any, which we may be able to recover from our customers.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders under this prospectus. We estimate that our expenses in connection with this offering will be approximately $210,000.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In May 2004, we issued three senior secured promissory notes in favor of Veritas High Yield Arbitrage I Fund, LLC, Veritas High Yield Arbitrage II Fund, LLC, and Veritas High Yield Arbitrage Fund, (Bermuda) Ltd. (collectively the “Lenders”) for the aggregate amount of $5.2 million. The notes accrue interest at 12% per annum, are paid monthly based on original face amount, and mature on October 29, 2004, with prepayment permitted without penalty after the first month. We also issued 200,000 warrants in favor of the lenders with a strike price of $0.01, which expire two years after the effective date of the registration statement for the underlying common stock. We agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective by August 15, 2004. In the event the registration statement is not declared effective on or before August 15, 2004, we must deposit 200,000 fully registered shares of common stock into escrow. The notes are secured by 10 million shares of our common stock placed in escrow by certain of our stockholders, as well as two of our directors, Guillermo Amore and Miguel Rosenfeld, including several entities beneficially owned or controlled by them. The shares pledged as security are subject to increase if at any time prior to repayment in full of each note, the ten day moving average price of our common stock is less than 80% of the trailing ten day volume weighted average price prior to closing (as appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events), or if we merge, consolidate or undergo a recapitalization, or issue additional securities. We have executed an indemnification agreement in favor of each of the individuals and entities pledging shares of our common stock as security in connection with each of the notes. We paid a finder’s fee of $130,000 to McMahan Securities Co. L.P. in connection with of the issuance of notes and warrants to the lenders. There is certain common ownership between the lenders and McMahan Securities Co. L.P.
On March 31, 2004, we issued 400 shares of Series I 8% Convertible Preferred Stock for $7.8 million in cash and $2.2 million in promissory notes, together with warrants to purchase 2.8 million shares of our common stock. We have collected all amounts due under the promissory note. The Series I Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share. In January 2007, the Series I Preferred Stock dividend rate will increase to 10% per year until January 2009 when it increases to 12%. Dividends are payable quarterly, at our discretion, in shares of our common stock or cash. We have the right to redeem the Series I Preferred Stock at $25,000 per share plus accrued dividends at any time after December 31, 2004.
On April 30, 2003, we issued 10% Subordinated Secured Convertible Debentures due April 30, 2006 for an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. The debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share. Interest is payable quarterly beginning July 31, 2003. The debentures were issued in exchange for $10.3 million in cash, $9.5 million in a promissory note due in full May 30, 2003 and $5.2 million of notes payable converted to the subordinated debentures. Included in the $5.2 million is $2.0 million of cash received in March 2003 in anticipation of the debenture transaction. As of June 1, 2004, all holders of the 10% debentures converted their debentures into shares of our common stock. See discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
These offers and sales of our common stock were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended as the common stock was sold to accredited investors pursuant to Regulation D and to non-United States persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition is based upon and should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained elsewhere in this registration statement.
Recent Events
In June 2004, we privately placed $86.25 million in aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Convertible Notes due June 15, 2009. We have utilized the net proceeds from this offering to pay all of our outstanding debt, for possible acquisitions and for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. The notes are convertible at the option of the holders into our common stock at $1.25 per share. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for the impact of this transaction on our financial condition.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following significant accounting policies, among others, affect its judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
• | revenue recognition and allowance for bad debt; | |
• | accounting for income taxes; | |
• | impairment of long-lived assets; and | |
• | goodwill. | |
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Bad Debts
Currently, we derive our revenues from monthly recurring fees for colocation and exchange point services and managed services. We also receive non-recurring installation fee for colocation and exchange point services and for construction activities. Revenues from colocation, exchange point services and managed services are billed monthly and recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Installation fees are generally billed in the period in which the installation is performed but deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the related contract. Managed services fees are billed and recognized in the period in which the services are provided. Construction activities are billed in accordance with contract terms, but revenues are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method.
Revenue is recognized as service is provided when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. We assess collection based on a number of factors, including transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. We do not request collateral from customers. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. As of March 31, 2004 and 2003, our accounts receivable amounted to $3,214,101 and $494,736, respectively, and were net of allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $200,000 and $120,340, respectively.

Table of Contents
Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers cost incurred to be the best measure of progress on these contracts. The duration of a construction contract generally exceeds one year. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are classified as other liabilities and represent billings in excess of revenues recognized. Construction contract expense costs include all direct material and labor costs and indirect costs related to contract performance such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, bad debt and depreciation. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, it is possible that our current estimates relating to completion cost and profitability of our uncompleted contracts will vary from actual results. Excluding depreciation, profit margins (construction contract revenue less construction contract expenses) on construction contracts for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $22,432, $315,658 and $857,163, respectively.
We analyze current economic news and trends, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating revenue recognition and the adequacy of our allowance for bad debts.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
Our accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of our deferred tax assets. To support our conclusion that a 100% valuation allowance was required, we primarily considered such factors as our history of operating losses, the nature of our deferred tax assets and the absence of taxable income in prior carryback years. Although our operating plans assume taxable and operating income in future periods, our evaluation of all the available evidence in assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets indicates that such plans are not considered sufficient to overcome the available negative evidence.
Our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, amounting to approximately $137 million, begin to expire in 2011. Utilization of the net operating losses generated prior to the AmTec merger may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code. Should we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination is made.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We account for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which we adopted in fiscal 2003. This standard requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such events and circumstances include, but are not limited to, prolonged industry downturns, significant decline in our market value and significant reductions in our projected cash flows. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in the forecast of future operating results used in the

Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2004 and 2003, our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, net and identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, totaled $63,897,586 and $64,482,834, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, we recognized impairment charges amounting to $0, $4,020,300, and $18,973,670, respectively.
Goodwill
We account for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives are not amortized but rather are tested at least annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step approach. Initially the fair value of the reporting units are compared with their carrying amount, including goodwill, to identify potential impairment. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess, if any, of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142, intangible assets were generally amortized on the straight-line method over five years. In accordance with SFAS 142, we ceased amortization of our intangible assets with indefinite lives and completed an initial impairment test of intangible assets as of April 1, 2002. Management determined in the initial impairment test that these assets were not impaired based on their fair values. Fair value was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows and the assumed market capitalization at the reporting unit level.
Results of Operations
Overview |
For the year ended March 31, 2004, approximately 94% of our total revenues were generated from data center operations. The remainder was substantially related to construction work. For the year ended March 31, 2003, approximately 75% of our total revenues were generated from data center operations. The remainder was substantially related to construction work. For the year ended March 31, 2002, approximately 20% of our total revenues were generated from data center operations, approximately 52% was from real estate projects and construction work, and approximately 28% was from property and construction management. During the past three years, our results of operations have been significantly impacted by:
• | our shift in focus to the housing and management of Internet infrastructure after the NAP of the Americas became operational in July 2001; | |
• | the sale of our telecom facilities management operations in February 2001; and | |
• | our exit from non-core real estate activities by March 31, 2002. Non-core real estate activities included real estate development, property management, financing and other ancillary businesses that complemented the development operations. Our real estate activities currently include technology infrastructure construction work and management of the property where the NAP of the Americas is located. | |

The increase in data center revenues was primarily the result of growth in our deployed customer base from 86 customers as of March 31, 2003 to 152 customers as of March 31, 2004. Data center revenues consist of:
• | colocation services, such as leasing of space and provisioning of power; | |
• | exchange point services, such as peering and cross connects; and | |
• | managed and professional services, such as network management, network monitoring, procurement and installation of equipment and procurement of connectivity, managed router services, technical support and consulting. | |
Our utilization of total net colocation space increased to 13.2% from 6.3% as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our utilization of total net colocation space represents the percentage of space billed versus total space available for customers. For comparative purposes total space available for customers includes third floor space in TECOTA for both March 31, 2004 and 2003. Cross connects billed to customers increased to 1,417 from 662 as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Data center — contract termination fee represents amounts received from two customers for the termination of their contracted services with the NAP of the Americas. As a result of these contract terminations, we experienced a decrease in monthly recurring revenues of approximately $14,000. Contract termination fees are recognized upon contract termination when there are no remaining contingencies or obligations on our part.
We anticipate an increase in revenue from colocation, exchange point and managed services as we add more customers to our network of NAPs, sell additional services to existing customers and introduce new products and services. We also expect managed and professional services to become an important source of revenue and increase as a proportion of data center-services.

Development, commission and construction fees decreased $156,000 to $41,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $197,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. We do not expect any revenues from development, commission and construction fees in the foreseeable future.
Management fees increased $18,000 to $198,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $180,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. The only facility we currently manage is TECOTA, the property in which the NAP of the Americas is located. We collect a monthly management fee from TECOTA equal to the greater of approximately $8,000 or 3% of cash collected by TECOTA. Although in the future, we may manage properties where our centers are including TECOTA, we anticipate that management fees will not be a significant source of revenue in the foreseeable future.
Construction contract revenue decreased $2.4 million to $940,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $3.3 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, we completed three and eleven construction contracts, respectively. As of March 31, 2004, we have one construction contract in process. Due to our approach to our construction business, we expect revenues from construction contracts to significantly fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We anticipate focusing our efforts on obtaining construction contracts for projects related to technology infrastructure.
Data Center Operations Expenses.Data center operations expenses increased $5.2 million, or 46.4%, to $16.4 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $11.2 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. Data center operations expenses consist mainly of rent, operations personnel, property taxes, electricity, chilled water, procurement of equipment and connectivity and security services. The increase in total data center operations expenses is due to an increase of $3.1 million in rent, an increase of $376,000 in electricity and chilled water, an increase of $526,000 in personnel costs and an increase of $717,000 in costs related to the procurement of equipment and connectivity under a U.S. Federal government contract. The increase in rent expense is due to the July 2003 opening of our NAP-West facilities in Santa Clara, California and the leasing of an additional 120,000 square feet of space in the third floor of TECOTA, which commenced in November 2003. We have been paying rent for our NAP-West facilities since January 2001 but before we opened these facilities in July 2003, related expenses were recorded as impairment charges. Rent expense is being recorded on the straight-line method based on contractual amounts even though actual payments for the third floor of TECOTA will not commence until April 2005. The increase in personnel costs is mainly attributable to staff increase from 60 operations employees in fiscal year 2003 to 75 for fiscal year 2004. We anticipate that some data center expenses, principally electricity, chilled water, payroll and costs related to managed services, will increase as we provide additional services to existing customers and introduce new products and services.
Contract Construction Expenses.Contract construction expenses decreased approximately $2.0 million to $918,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $3.0 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease is a result of the decrease in number of construction contracts and average dollar amount of those contracts as discussed above in “construction contract revenue.” We do not currently anticipate losses on any of the individual construction contracts.
General and Administrative Expense.Excluding non-cash charges of $2.2 million for stock-based compensation, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million; or 10.4%, to $11.1 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $12.5 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, professional service fees, rent and other general corporate expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is due to a decrease in payroll of $709,000. In connection with the modification to our employment relationship with three employees, we accelerated the vesting on their outstanding stock options, awarded new stock options and/or extended the life of their outstanding stock options. As a result, we recognized a non-cash, stock-based compensation charge of approximately $2.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in payroll is mainly due to a reduction in staff levels. The average number of employees whose salaries are included in general and administrative expenses decreased from 60 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003 to 50 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004.

Sales and Marketing Expenses.Sales and marketing expenses decreased $800,000, or 19.0%, to $3.4 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $4.2 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. The significant components of sales and marketing expenses are payroll and benefits. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses is due to decreases in investor relations of $442,000, in travel and entertainment of $172,000, and in payroll and benefits of $89,000. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2003, we issued warrants valued at $442,000 to Strategic Growth International for investor relations services. The decrease in payroll is mainly due to staff level reductions. The number of employees whose salaries are included in sales and marketing expenses were 20 and 21 as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in travel and entertainment is the result of overall reduction in spending due to cost containment efforts.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $400,000 to $4.7 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 from $5.1 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease was due to reductions in property and equipment resulting primarily from impairment charges recorded during the year ended March 31, 2003, which in turn decreased depreciation expense.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill.During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we performed our annual test for impairment and concluded that these assets were not impaired.
Debt Restructuring. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2004, we incurred a non-cash gain of $8.5 million related to financing transactions whereby $21.6 million of our construction payables plus $1.0 million in accrued interest was converted to 30.1 million shares of our common stock with a $14.1 million market value upon conversion.
Interest Expense.Excluding non-cash charges, interest expense decreased to $7.1 million from $11.0 million for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We reduced the interest expense as a result of a reduction in the principal balance outstanding and a reduction in the interest rates. Due to the conversion of some of our debt and construction payables to equity which was partially offset by the issuance of new debt, our principal balance outstanding decreased to $77.7 million from $101.7 million as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition our average interest rate on our debt decreased to 8.1% from 9.8% for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Net non-cash charges of approximately $7.5 million represent the amortization of a beneficial conversion feature as additional interest expense partially offset by the amortization of a debt restructuring gain as reductions to interest expense.
Other income (expenses).On November 10, 2003, a developer agreed to pay us a $3.8 million non-refundable fee to develop a facility in Australia. The developer paid us $500,000 upon execution of the agreement and the remaining balance of $3.3 million on December 10, 2003. On February 11, 2004, the developer notified us it did not wish to proceed with negotiations regarding the construction of a TerreNAP Center in Australia. On February 19, 2004, we acknowledged receipt of the developer’s notification, and terminated the agreement with the developer. As required by the agreement, we did not conduct any business related to the operation or management of data centers in Australia until the agreement was terminated. We have no further obligations in connection with the agreement with the developer and as a result recognized the $3.8 million non-refundable fee in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Net Loss.Net loss for our reportable segments was as follows:

Results of Operations for the Year Ended March 31, 2003 as Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2002 |
Revenue. Total revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 7.5%, to $14.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $15.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. The decrease is due to a reduction in our development, management and construction contracts revenue of approximately $9.0 million partially offset by an increase in data center revenue, including contract termination fee, of approximately $7.8 million.
Data center revenue increased $6.7 million to $9.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $3.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. Revenues consisted of recurring revenues of $8.4 million and $2.9 million respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, primarily from charges for colocation, power, peering and some managed services. Non-recurring revenues were $1.5 million and $355,000, respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, primarily related to managed services and the recognized portion of deferred installation revenue. Installation fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of an increase in orders from existing customers and growth in our deployed customer base from 40 customers as of March 31, 2002 to 86 customers as of March 31, 2003. We anticipate an increase in revenues from colocation, power and peering and revenues from managed services as we add more customers to the NAP of the Americas, sell additional services to existing customers and introduce new products and services.
Data center services revenues consist of colocation services, such as leasing of space and provisioning of power; exchange point services, such as peering and interconnection; and managed and professional services, such as network management, procurement and installation of equipment and procurement of connectivity, managed router services, technical support and consulting. We anticipate an increase in revenue from colocation and exchange point services as we add more customers to our network of NAPs, sell additional services to existing customers and introduce new products and services. We also expect managed and professional services to become an important source of revenue and increase as a percentage of data center- services. For the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, data center services revenues consisted of the following:
2003 | 2002 | |||||||||||||||
Colocation & exchange point services | $ | 8,146,149 | 82 | % | $ | 2,967,207 | 92 | % | ||||||||

$ | 9,937,899 | 100 | % | $ | 3,215,897 | 100 | % | |||||||||
Data center — contract termination fee was $1.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 and represents amounts received from two customers for the termination of their contracted services with the NAP of the Americas. No fees were received during the year ended March 31, 2002. Contract termination fees are recognized upon contract termination when there are no remaining contingencies or obligations on our part.
Development, commission and construction fees decreased $3.0 million, or 93.8%, to $197,000 for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $3.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in development, commission and construction fees is primarily the result of our exiting of the underlying non-core real estate activities. We do not expect any significant amount of revenues from development, commission and construction fees.
Management fees decreased $1.0 million, or 83.3%, to $200,000 for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $1.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. The decrease is a result of our exiting the management of commercial and residential properties. The only facility we currently manage is TECOTA, the property in which the NAP of the Americas is located. We collect from TECOTA a monthly management fee of approximately $8,000 or 3% of cash collected by TECOTA, whichever is greater. During the fiscal year ended

Construction contract revenue decreased $5.0 million, or 60.2%, to $3.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $8.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. During the year ended March 31, 2003 we completed eleven contracts and, as of March 31, 2003, had two construction contracts in process. During the year ended March 31, 2002, we completed two contracts and, as of March 31, 2002, we had five construction contracts in process. The decrease in revenues from construction contracts is due to a decrease in the average revenue per contract, which went from average revenue per contract of $3.6 million in fiscal year 2002 to average revenue per contract of $500,000 in fiscal year 2003. Due to our opportunistic approach to our construction business, we expect revenues from construction contracts to significantly fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We anticipate focusing our efforts on obtaining construction contracts for projects related to technology infrastructure.
Data Center Operations Expenses. Excluding depreciation, data center operations expenses remained constant at $11.2 million for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. Data center operations consist mainly of rent, operations personnel, electricity, chilled water and security services. With the exception of electricity and chilled water, the majority of these expenses are fixed in nature. However, commencing in fiscal year 2004, we anticipate that certain data center expenses, principally costs related to managed services, will increase as we provide additional services to existing customers and introduce into the market new products and services. We also expect that our costs of electricity and chilled water costs will increase in the future as we add more customers to the NAP of the Americas. The number of employees whose salaries are included in data center operations remained constant at 60 during the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
Contract Construction Expenses. Contract construction expenses decreased $4.4 million, or 59.5%, to $3.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $7.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. This decrease is a result of the decrease in number of contracts and dollar amount of those projects as discussed above in “revenues from construction contracts.” We do not currently anticipate losses on any of the individual contracts.
Start-up Costs — Data Centers. There were no start-up costs for the year ended March 31, 2003.Start-up costs for the year ended March 31, 2002 primarily relate to the NAP of the Americas in Miami, Florida, and were approximately $3.4 million.
General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses decreased $3.1 million, or 19.9%, to $12.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $15.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, professional service fees, rent and other general corporate expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to decreases in rent of $1.9 million and payroll of $1.0 million.
Carrying costs, including rent, for our Corvin facility in Santa Clara, California for the year ended March 31, 2003 were reflected in the facility’s impairment charge in the previous year. In accordance with SFAS No. 121, we recognized as of March 31, 2002 an impairment charge of $5.5 million, including $1.5 million in expected lease carrying costs for the period of time until the facility could be sublet. During the second quarter ended September 30, 2002, an additional $350,000 in expected lease carrying costs were recognized and included as part of impairment of long-lived assets. During the year ended March 31, 2002, the rent for the Corvin facility for that year was included in general and administrative expenses.
The decrease in payroll is mainly attributable to staff reductions. The number of employees whose salaries are included in general and administrative expenses decreased from 63 for the year ended March 31, 2002 to 50 for the year ended March 31, 2003.
The remaining period over period decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to a decrease in general corporate overhead resulting from our exit of non-core real estate activities in the year ended March 31, 2002.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $600,000, or 16.7%, to $4.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $3.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. The significant components of sales and marketing expenses are salaries, commissions, provision for bad debt expenses and marketing. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was mainly attributable to an increase in investor relations expense of $442,000 and an increase in provision for bad debt expenses of approximately $265,000. We issued warrants valued at approximately $442,000 to a third party for investor relations services. Provision for bad debt expense consists of full provisions related to eight customers. We have commenced legal action against many of these customers. The number of employees whose salaries are included in sales and marketing expenses increased slightly from 21 as of March 31, 2002 to 22 as of March 31, 2003.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.2 million, or 30.1%, to $5.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $7.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. This decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was mainly due to the cessation of $3.5 million in amortization of goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with current accounting standards and a decrease in depreciation of approximately $0.4 million related to our colocation facility in Santa Clara, California and non core assets. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation of approximately $1.7 million primarily from assets of the NAP of the Americas that were put in service during fiscal year 2002 and had a full year of depreciation in fiscal year 2003.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Due principally to the decline and uncertainty of the telecommunications and Internet infrastructure markets, we recognized the following impairment charges:
Fiscal year ended March 31, | ||||||||
Asset | 2003 | 2002 | ||||||
Facility in Santa Clara, California | $ | 350,000 | $ | 11,983,670 | ||||
Post Shell goodwill | 2,315,336 | 3,190,000 | ||||||
TECOTA promote interest | 904,964 | 3,800,000 | ||||||
Equipment | 450,000 | — | ||||||
$ | 4,020,300 | $ | 18,973,670 | |||||
As a result of impairment charges in the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the long-lived assets described in the table above became fully impaired.
Due to our unsuccessful efforts to lease space at our colocation facility in Santa Clara, California, during the quarter ended September 30, 2001, we granted an option to one of our vendors (a contractor involved with the facility’s build-out) to purchase the leasehold improvements and assume the existing lease for approximately $4.0 million. Based on this option, we recorded a $6.6 million impairment charge in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 to write the improvements down to the option amount. Subsequently, we continued to search for alternatives, which included subleasing or selling our leasehold improvements. In the quarter ended March 31, 2002, upon expiration of the option, we listed our leasehold improvements for sale, indicating a definite change in the strategy. We are now actively looking for a buyer to assume the existing lease or sublease all or a substantial portion of the space. The existing lease is $118,000 per month, with scheduled annual increases, for a twenty-year term ending in 2020. We believe that the most likely outcome is that the property will be subleased or leased from the landlord to a third party and that we will receive no consideration for the leasehold improvements. Based on this most likely scenario, in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we recorded an additional $5.5 million impairment, resulting in the asset being fully reserved. We also established as of March 31, 2002 reserves for leasehold carrying costs, consisting primarily of monthly rent. As of March 31, 2003, we had approximately $1.4 million in related reserves which we anticipate will carry the facility through March 2004.
The decline in the telecommunications industry and resulting decline in related real estate construction and leasing activities caused us to perform, during the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, impairment analyses of our promote interests in TECOTA acquired in the telecom facilities management operations and

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, we wrote off $450,000 related to equipment that has been held for installation for more than one year and is considered obsolete.
On October 15, 2002, we entered into a joint venture agreement to develop and operate a HIPPA compliant network access point at the NAP of the Americas in Miami, Florida. We acquired a 10% interest in the joint venture company by issuing a $1.0 million promissory note. As the joint venture was not fully funded by December 31, 2002, we determined that our joint venture interest was impaired. Therefore, we recognized a $1.0 million impairment as of December 31, 2002. Effective March 31, 2003, we and the other joint venture partner entered into an agreement to declare void all the then current agreements and contracts, including the joint venture agreement. As a result, we were no longer obligated under the promissory note. The results of operations present, on a net basis, the effects of the formation and the dissolution of the joint venture and accordingly no gain or loss was recognized as a result of these transactions.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $39,000, or 40.2%, to $136,000 for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $97,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002. The increase was due to the recording of interest income on a $5.0 million note receivable from our Chief Executive Officer which began accruing interest in September 2002.
Inducement on Debt Conversion. During the year ended March 31, 2003, we incurred a non-cash expense of $5.0 million related to the $15.8 million of our convertible debt that was converted into 22.0 million shares of our common stock. The debt was converted at $0.75 per share, which was approximately 50% below the stated conversion price. This expense represents the fair value of the additional common shares issued by us as a result of the lower conversion price.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 12.2%, to $11.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2003 from $9.8 million for year ended March 31, 2002. The increase was due to an increase of $33.0 million in the average debt balance outstanding. The increase was offset by the conversion of $15.8 million in convertible debt during the quarter ended December 31, 2002 and reduction in the interest rate of the Ocean Bank loan from 9.25% to 7.50%. Based on the April 30, 2003 transactions, we expect cash interest payments to be reduced by approximately $900,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004.
Gain On the Sale of Real Estate Held for Sale. In July 2001, we sold Fortune House II for $17.2 million and recorded a gain of approximately $3.9 million. During the year ended March 31, 2002, we also sold six condominium units and recorded a net gain of $0.3 million. The last condominium unit was sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Net Loss. Net loss (income) for our reportable segments was as follows:
For the Year Ended March 31, | ||||||||

The net loss for the year ended March 31, 2003 is mainly due to non-cash items, including impairment charges of long-lived assets of approximately $4.0 million and depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $5.1 million, interest expense of approximately $11.0 million, and approximately $11.2 million

Liquidity and Recent Developments
We privately placed $86.25 million in aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Convertible Notes due June 15, 2009 to qualified institutional buyers on June 14, 2004. The notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable semi-annually, beginning December 15, 2004 and are convertible at the option of the holders at $1.25 per share. We utilized approximately $40.5 million of the net proceeds from this offering to pay all of our outstanding debt. The balance of the proceeds will be used for possible acquisitions and for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.
The notes will rank senior in priority with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and rank junior to any future secured indebtedness.
If there is a change in control, the holders have the right to require us to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If we issue a cash dividend on our common stock, we will pay contingent interest to the holders equal to the product of the per share cash dividend and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each holder’s note.
We may redeem some or all of the notes for cash at any time on or after June 15, 2007 if the closing price of our common shares has exceeded 200% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date we mail the redemption notice. If we redeem the notes during the twelve month period commencing on June 15, 2007 or 2008, the redemption price equals 104.5% or 102.25%, respectively, of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus an amount equal to 50% of all remaining scheduled interest payments on the notes from, and including, the redemption date through the maturity date.
On May 17, 2004, we provided certain debenture holders with notice of our intent to redeem $25.0 million of our 10% convertible debentures and $2.8 million of our 13.125% convertible debentures, effective May 31, 2004. As of May 31, 2004, all of the holders of our 10% convertible debentures and $2.5 million in principal of our 13.125% convertible debentures opted to convert their debentures into an aggregate of 54,726,427 shares of our common stock. In June 2004, the remaining holders of our 13.125% convertible debentures redeemed their debentures for cash. In addition, in June 2004, the remaining holders of our 13% convertible debentures redeemed their debentures for an aggregate of $10.3 million.
In May 2004, we issued three senior secured promissory notes in favor of Veritas High Yield Arbitrage I Fund, LLC, Veritas High Yield Arbitrage II Fund, LLC, and Veritas High Yield Arbitrage Fund, (Bermuda) Ltd. (collectively the “Lenders”) for the aggregate amount of $5.2 million. The notes accrue interest at 12% per annum, are paid monthly based on original face amount, and mature on October 29, 2004, with prepayment permitted without penalty after the first month. The three notes were paid in full in June 2004.

Overview
Historically, we have financed our operations and capital requirements primarily through our credit facility with Ocean Bank, issuance of unsecured notes, issuance of convertible debentures, private sale of common and preferred stock and vendor financing, including construction payables and capital lease obligations. As of March 31, 2003, our total indebtedness was approximately $116.1 million. As of March 31,

From the time of the merger through March 31, 2004, we incurred net operating losses of approximately $222.5 million. Our cash flows from operations for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were negative and the working capital deficit was approximately $10.2 million and $38.3 million as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Based on customer contracts signed as of June 14, 2004, expected expansions of customers under contract and anticipated future contracts from potential customers in the sales pipeline, we project that our cash flow from operations will be positive by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005. Our projected revenues and cash flows, depend on several factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the rate at which we provides services and these services are accepted by customers under existing contracts, the rate at which new services are sold to the government sector and the commercial sector, the ability to retain the customer base, the willingness and timing of potential customers in outsourcing the housing and management of their technology infrastructure to us, the reliability and cost-effectiveness of our services and the our ability to market our services. Although the real estate activities had a net operating loss of approximately $338,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004, we anticipate that these activities will generate enough revenues to cover operating expenses. If revenues for real estate activities are below amounts anticipated, cash needs are not expected to exceed $200,000 for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we have the cash resources sufficient to meet our working capital, debt service and corporate overhead requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 18 months.
Sources and Uses of Cash |
Cash used in operations for the year ended March 31, 2004 was approximately $15.9 million compared to cash used in operations of $18.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, a decrease of $2.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to the collection of $3.8 million fee for the grant of an exclusive right to develop a facility in Australia. Our net loss included the following non-cash items:

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2004 was $4.1 compared to cash used in investing activities of $1.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $2.8 million. This is due to the increase of approximately $3.1 million in leasehold improvements and equipment for the third floor of TECOTA.
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2004 was $22.9 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $20.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $2.1 million. For the year ended March 31, 2004, cash provided by financing activities included $27.6 million of debt and equity financing partially offset by $4.6 million in debt repayments. For the year ended March 31, 2003, cash provided by financing activities included $27.0 million of equity and debt financing, partially offset by $5.2 million in payments of debt and construction payables.

Debt and Equity Activity
On March 31, 2004, we issued 400 shares of Series I 8% Convertible Preferred Stock for $7.8 million in cash and $2.2 million in promissory notes, together with warrants to purchase 2.8 million shares of our common stock and which are exercisable for five years at $0.90 per share. We have collected all amounts due under the promissory notes. The Series I Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share. In January 2007, the Series I Preferred Stock dividend rate will increase to 10% per year until January 2009 when it increases to 12%.

Ocean Bank Credit Facility: On September 5, 2001, we borrowed $48.0 million from Ocean Bank. The Ocean Bank credit facility is secured by all of our assets and allows for up to a $25.0 million junior lien position on the assets of our NAP of the Americas, Inc. subsidiary. To obtain the original loan, we paid a $720,000 commitment fee to Ocean Bank. The proceeds of the original credit facility was used to:
• | repay a $10.0 million short-term loan from Manuel D. Medina, our Chief Executive Officer, the proceeds of which we had used to fund the build out of the NAP of the Americas (Mr. Medina, in turn, used the $10.0 million to repay a personal $10.0 million short-term loan from Ocean Bank); | |
• | repay $3.5 million of debt that we owed to Ocean Bank under a line of credit personally guaranteed by Mr. Medina; | |
• | pay $1.2 million in loan costs related to the $48.0 million credit facility (including a $720,000 commitment fee); and | |
• | fund the NAP of the Americas build out costs. |
Mr. Medina has personally guaranteed the credit facility. In addition to Mr. Medina’s personal guarantee of the credit facility, and in order to obtain the facility, Ocean Bank required Mr. Medina, prior to the bank disbursing funds under the credit facility, to provide a $5.0 million certificate of deposit to the bank as collateral on certain personal loans that Mr. Medina has with the bank and commit to accelerate the maturity date of those personal loans to December 31, 2001. Subsequent to September 2001, Mr. Medina and the bank extended the maturity date on his personal loans, first to December 31, 2001 and later to July 1, 2002. In the event of our default under the credit facility, Mr. Medina also agreed to subordinate debt that we owed to him. Mr. Medina has repaid part of those personal loans to Ocean Bank, leaving an outstanding principal balance of approximately $4.6 million as of December 31, 2003. On February 11, 2004, Mr. Medina extended one loan with a principal balance of approximately $3.3 million to February 11, 2005 and made an interest payment of $63,500. On March 8, 2004, Mr. Medina extended the maturity date on the other loan which had a principal balance of approximately $1.3 million to March 8, 2005 and made a $73,446 payment of principal and interest.
In consideration of Mr. Medina’s agreeing to repay his indebtedness to Ocean Bank earlier than otherwise required, pledging the certificate of deposit and personally guaranteeing our credit facility and approximately $21.0 million of construction payables, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with him. Under the terms of the amended and restated employment agreement, we will indemnify Mr. Medina from any personal liability related to his guarantees of our debt, use commercially reasonable efforts to relieve Mr. Medina of all his guarantees of our debt, provide up to $6.5 million of cash collateral to Ocean Bank should Mr. Medina be unable to repay the personal loans when due and provide a non interest- bearing $5.0 million loan to Mr. Medina. Mr. Medina and we had agreed that we have the right to withhold payment to him of $1,375,000 in convertible debentures owned by him until the note receivable is repaid. In June 2004, we paid Mr. Medina approximately $1.4 million upon redemption of our convertible debentures owned by him. The note receivable from Mr. Medina is shown as an adjustment to equity. The $48.0 million credit facility and the note receivable from Mr. Medina were approved by our board of directors.
In July 2002, we and Mr. Medina modified the terms of his $5.0 million non-interest bearing note payable to us. As amended, the note matures September 30, 2004 and bears interest subsequent to September 5, 2002 at 2%, the applicable federal rate. Interest is due in bi-annual installments. We review the collectibility of this note on a quarterly basis.
On April 30, 2003, Ocean Bank revised its $44.0 million credit facility with us by converting $15.0 million of the outstanding principal balance into equity and extending the term of the remaining $29.0 million until April 30, 2006. Concurrent with this transaction, we paid all past due interest as of March 31, 2003, plus accrued interest through April 28, 2003 totaling approximately $1.6 million and prepaid approximately $900,000 of interest. Under the new terms, interest is payable quarterly at an annual rate of 5.25% for the first twelve months and 7.5% thereafter. In June 2004, we paid the Ocean Bank debt in full.

On December 5, 2002, CRG entered into an agreement with Kinetics Mechanical Services, Inc. and Kinetics Systems Inc. to purchase our entire $4.1 million construction payable (including accrued interest) to Kinetics. Under the terms of their agreement CRG was to pay Kinetics $1.9 million. On December 5, 2002, we also entered into an agreement with CRG that provided us the option, upon the closing of the purchase of the debt by CRG from Kinetics, to repay the entire debt at a discount by either issuing shares of our common stock valued at $0.75 per share or making a cash payment.
On April 30, 2003, CRG LLC completed the purchase, at a discount, of our $22.6 million construction payables (including accrued interest) to Cupertino and Kinetics. Cupertino and Kinetics were construction contractors for the NAP of the Americas. At the closing, the construction payables were converted into 30,133,334 shares of our common stock.
CRG was created by Mr. Christian Altaba, one of our shareholders, for the purpose of buying our debt from Cupertino Electric and Kinetics Mechanical Services. None of the participants in CRG were or currently are our officers or directors. There is no affiliation between CRG and Cupertino or Kinetics. CRG is managed by Mr. Altaba.
Convertible Debentures: On April 30, 2003, we issued 10% Subordinated Secured Convertible Debentures due April 30, 2006 for an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. The debt is convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share. Interest is payable quarterly beginning July 31, 2003. The debentures were issued in exchange for $10.3 million in cash, $9.5 million in a promissory note due in full May 30, 2003 and $5.2 million of notes payable which were converted into the Subordinated Debentures. Included in the $5.2 million is $2.0 million of cash received in March 2003 in anticipation of the transaction.

Other:In August 2002, we modified the terms of a note payable to TotalBank. The maturity date was extended until December 2002 with some principal payments to be made monthly and the remaining principal and interest due at maturity. In conjunction with the modification and extension of this note, we issued 400,000 shares of our common stock valued at $180,000 to a shareholder who formerly guaranteed the note. On March 31, 2003, we entered into a forbearance agreement with TotalBank and modified the terms of our note. Under the modified agreement terms, we made principal payments of $100,000 and $125,000 in April 2003 and May 2003, respectively, and TotalBank retained the right to enforce accelerated remedies if we default on the modified note. As of December 31, 2003, the modified note had been assigned to JCH Aston Partners, LLC and we had not paid $367,178 of principal balance due. In February 2004, we paid a $15,000 fee to extend the modified note to March 31, 2004. In April 2004, we further modified the terms of the note and paid $150,000 thereon which amount was applied first to interest and then to principal. We further agreed to extend the modified note to July 5, 2004, increase the annual interest rate to 16%, and to pay down the modified note by an additional $50,000 on July 5, 2004. We were also responsible for nominal attorney’s fees in connection with this extension. In June 2004, we paid the outstanding balance of the note in full.
As of March 31, 2004, we had not paid approximately $719,000 relating to a capital lease. We are currently negotiating a payment plan.
As of March 31, 2004, we have not paid approximately $489,000 related to our 2002 tangible property taxes in Miami-Dade county, Florida. We have negotiated a payment plan with the Tax Collector Public Service Office and are current under the plan.
As of March 31, 2004, we had not paid approximately $429,000 of accrued interest related to our convertible debentures. This amount has been subsequently paid.
Between April 2003 and March 2004, we borrowed an aggregate of $750,000 of short-term debt bearing interest between at 10%. During the same period, we repaid $1,628,000 of our short-term debt.
On October 30, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Arturo Ehrlich to assist us in raising capital. We issued warrants to purchase 1.2 million shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share to Mr. Ehrlich together with a cash payment of $180,000 as an advance for future expenses. Mr. Ehrlich is a director of SBP Investments, Inc., a corporation that lent us $3.0 million in October 2002.
Guaranties and Commitments
The Technology Center of the Americas, LLC, (“TECOTA”), an entity in which we have a 0.84% membership interest, owns the building that leases the space to us for the NAP of the Americas under a 20 year lease. The construction of TECOTA was funded with $48.0 million in equity and $35.4 million in construction financing from a consortium of banks. We guaranteed this construction financing during development and construction of TECOTA. After TECOTA was built, some of the banks released us from their portion of the guarantee, the result of which was to reduce the guarantee to $5.5 million. As of March 31, 2004, the TECOTA debt outstanding under the construction loan was $35.4 million. We do not expect to fund any amounts under our guarantee.
We guarantee up to $6.5 million in personal debt of Manuel D. Medina, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources” for details.
We lease space for our operations, office equipment and furniture under non-cancelable operating leases. Some equipment is also leased under capital leases, which are included in leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, (SAB 104),Revenue Recognition. SAB 104 updates portions of existing interpretative guidance in order to make this consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. The adoption of SAB 104 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement requires that an issuer classify financial instruments which are within its scope as a liability. Most of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The impact of the adoption of SFAS 150 on our consolidated financial statements was to present Series H redeemable preferred stock as a liability.
In March 2003, the FASB reached a consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. The consensus provides guidance on the accounting for multiple element revenue arrangements. It also provided guidance on how to separate multiple element revenue arrangements into its separate units of accounting and how to measure and allocate the arrangement’s total consideration. The effective date of EITF 00-21 is for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods (interim or annual) beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 as of July 1, 2003 has not impacted our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB released a revised version of FIN 46 clarifying certain aspects of FIN 46 and providing certain entities with exemptions from the requirements of FIN 46. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. NAP de las Americas-Madrid S.A. was a variable interest entity but our relationship indicates that it does not require consolidation since we were not the primary beneficiary. Subsequent to March 31, 2004, we purchased an additional 70% interest in NAP de las Americas-Madrid S.A., thereby increasing our equity interest to 80%, from June 2004 forward, the financial position and results of operations of Nap de las Americas-Madrid will be consolidated into our accounts.
In April 2002, the FASB approved SFAS 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections.” In addition to rescinding SFAS 4, 44, and 64 and amending SFAS 13, SFAS 145 establishes a financial reporting standard for classification of extinguishment of debt in the financial statements in accordance with APB 30. SFAS 145 is effective for our

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have not entered into any financial instruments for trading or hedging purposes.
Our carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
Our exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt. An immediate 10% increase or decrease in current interest rates would furthermore not have a material impact on our debt obligations due to the fixed nature of our debt obligations. The fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. These interest rate changes may affect the fair market value of the fixed interest rate debt but do not impact our earnings or cash flows.
To date, over 99% of our recognized revenue has been denominated in U.S. dollars, generated mostly from customers in the U.S., and our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations has been minimal. In the future, a larger portion of our revenues may be derived from operations outside of the U.S. and may be denominated in foreign currency. As a result, our operating results or cash flows may be impacted due to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
Furthermore, to the extent we engage in international sales that are denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our services less competitive in the international markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations, and when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we cannot assure you that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial results in the future.
Some of our operating costs are subject to price fluctuations caused by the volatility of underlying commodity prices. The commodity most likely to have an impact on our results of operations in the event of significant price change is electricity. We are closely monitoring the cost of electricity. To the extent that electricity costs continue to rise, we are investigating opportunities to pass these additional power costs onto our customers that utilize this power. We do not employ forward contracts or other financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk.

BUSINESS
Overview
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. operates Internet Exchange Point facilities at strategic locations in Miami, Florida; Santa Clara, California; and Sao Paulo, Brazil, from which we assist users of the Internet and communications networks in communicating with other users and networks. Our primary facility is the NAP of the Americas located in Miami, where as of June 14, 2004 we have over 155 customers including over 80 network service providers. We generate revenue by providing exchange point, colocation and managed services to carriers, Internet service providers, network service providers, government entities, multi-national enterprises and other end users.
Internet Exchanges, or IXs, are locations where two or more networks meet to interconnect and exchange Internet and data traffic (data, voice, images, video and all forms of digital telecommunications), much like air carriers meet at airports to exchange passengers and cargo. Instead of airlines and transportation companies, however, participation in IXs comes from telecommunications carriers, Internet service providers and large telecommunications and Internet users. Tier-1 IXs are locations where the primary Internet networks meet to access, exchange and distribute Internet traffic and, following the airport analogy, operate much like large, international airport passenger and cargo transportation terminals or “hubs.”
Initially, four IXs — in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and San Francisco — were created and supported by the National Science Foundation as part of the transition from the United States government-financed Internet to a commercially operated Internet. Since that time, privately owned IXs have been developed, including the NAP of the Americas.
Our Internet Exchange Point facilities are carrier-neutral. We are not owned or controlled by, nor affiliated with, any telecommunications carrier. Rather, we enable our customers to freely choose from among the many carriers available at our Internet Exchange Point facilities. We believe that our carrier neutrality and the diversity of network service providers present at our facilities provides us with a competitive advantage when compared to carrier-operated Internet Exchange Point facilities where customers are limited to conducting business with one carrier.
We generate revenue by providing our customers with:
• | the site and platform they need to exchange Internet and data traffic; | |
• | related professional and managed services; and | |
• | space to house their equipment and their network facilities in order to be close to the Internet and data traffic exchange connections that take place at our Internet Exchange Point facilities. | |
Currently, our customers include telecommunications carriers such as AT&T, MCI, Qwest and Sprint, enterprises such as Bacardi USA, Intrado, and Steiner Leisure, content providers such as Yahoo! and Akamai, and government agencies including the Diplomatic Telecommunications Services Programming Office (DTSPO, a division of the United States Department of State), the United States Southern Command and the City of Coral Gables.
Prior to April 2000, we were engaged in the development, sales, leasing, management and financing of retail, high-rise office buildings, mixed-use projects, condominiums, hotels and government-assisted housing. We were also involved in a number of ancillary businesses that complemented our development operations. Specifically, we engaged in offering financial services, property management, construction management, condominium hotel management, residential and commercial leasing brokerage, and advisory services. By March 31, 2002, we had exited non-core real estate activities, real estate development, property management, financing and the ancillary businesses that complimented these real-estate development operations. Our remaining real estate activities include technology construction work and management of the property where the NAP of the Americas is located.

Industry
The Internet is a collection of many independent networks interconnected with each other to form a network of networks. Information that is to be transported over the Internet is divided into discreet identical sized packets that are transmitted over the primary Internet networks, known as backbones, and then reassembled at their destination where they are presented to the end user in the same form as the original information. However, not all Internet backbones reach all locations on the Internet. Therefore, users on different networks need to communicate with each other and transmit packets to each other through interconnection between these networks. To accommodate the fast growth of traffic over the Internet, an organized approach for network interconnection was needed. The exchange of traffic between these networks without payment became known as “peering”. When a fee is paid, it is referred to as “transit.” The points and places where these networks exchange traffic, or peer, with each other are known as Internet Exchanges, or IXs.
Since the beginning of the Internet, major traffic aggregation and exchange points have developed around the world. The first four Tier-1 IXs were built in the United States in the early 1990’s to serve the northern part of the country, from East Coast to West Coast, and are located in New York, Washington, Chicago and San Francisco. These IXs were built with sponsorship from the National Science Foundation in order to promote Internet development and used the existing infrastructures of telecommunication companies, to which ownership of the IXs was eventually transferred. These four Tier-1 IXs offered only connectivity services.
We operate Internet Exchange Point facilities at strategic locations in Miami, Florida; Santa Clara, California; and Sao Paulo, Brazil, from which we assist users of the Internet and large communications networks in communicating with other users and networks. Our primary facility is the NAP of the Americas located in Miami, where we have over 155 customers including over 80 network service providers. We generate revenue by providing exchange point, colocation and managed services to carriers, Internet service providers, network service providers, government entities, multi-national enterprises and other end users. Using the airport analogy again, customers at our facilities exchange and redirect Internet and data traffic to multiple destinations, and purchase various managed services, similar to what happens in airport terminals with the provision of fuel, maintenance, spare parts and food.
Strategy
We have created a new business model for IXs by providing customers with:
• | the connectivity of a world-class IX in a carrier-neutral facility; | |
• | highly conditioned space within which to locate equipment next to other customers; and | |
• | managed services meeting the design and operational specifications of multinational carriers, enterprises and government customers. |
Our strategy is to leverage our major connectivity hubs to sell services to customers within and outside of our Internet Exchange Point facilities. For example, we have been retained by the United States Department Diplomatic Telecommunications Service Program Office, under three publicly awarded contracts, to design, implement and manage the system which will permit designated overseas locations to have global Internet access. Although the NAP of the Americas serves as the hub to manage this solution, we are leveraging our international carrier relationships to provide this customer with connectivity and technology solutions to communicate with U.S. government locations around the world.
Our business model for international expansion requires limited capital investment and is best compared to that of a management company model in the hospitality industry. The model contemplates that a local in-country partner would own and fund the development and build-out of the facility in which our NAP would

In February 2002, we entered into an agreement with Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo, the research foundation for the State of Sao Paulo, known as FAPESP, to operate and manage the IX created by FAPESP, which we have renamed the NAP do Brasil. Pursuant to the twenty year agreement, FAPESP turned over the network access point to Terremark, which we moved in February 2004 to permanent facilities in an existing data center where we have contractual control of the data center’s meet point room. The NAP do Brasil is modeled after the operational design of the NAP of the Americas. Pre-existing FAPESP customers have the right to continue to receive services at the then existing levels without payment until February 2004. FAPESP will receive 6% of the revenue generated by the NAP do Brazil for the first five years of operation, 5% during the following five years, and 1% during the last ten years. The term may be extended for an additional ten-year period, during which FAPESP would again receive 1% of the revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2004, our Brazilian operations generated losses of approximately $824,000 on revenues of approximately $160,000.
In June 2002, we entered into an exclusive agreement with the Comunidad Autonoma de Madrid to develop and operate carrier-neutral network access points in Spain. As part of that agreement, the parties formed NAP de las Americas — Madrid S.A. to own and operate carrier-neutral IXs in Spain, modeled after the NAP of the Americas. The shareholders are the Comunidad through its Instituto Madrileno de Desarrollo — IMADE, the Camara Oficial de Comercio e Industria de Madrid, Red Electrica Telecomunicaciones, S.A., Telvent Sistemas y Redes S.A., a subsidiary of Abengoa S.A., and Centro de Transportes de Coslada, S.A. (CTC). At the time the NAP de las Americas — Madrid S.A. was formed, we owned 1% of its equity, which we subsequently increased to 10%. In May 2004, we purchased the 20% of this entity owned by Telvent Sistemas y Redes S.A. for approximately $550,000, and exercised our option to purchase the 30% of the interest owned by the Comunidad (CTC and IMADE) for approximately $1.4 million. In addition, in June 2004, we purchased 20% of this entity owned by Red Electrica Telecomunicaciones, S.A. for approximately $634,000. The Camara has decided to retain its 20% interest. These transactions closed in early July 2004. As a result of these transactions, we now have an 80% equity interest in NAP de las Americas — Madrid.
We provided the technical and operational know-how for the development of an interim NAP de las Americas — Madrid which became operational in July 2002. During the year ended March 31, 2004, we recognized approximately $43,000 in revenues from services billed to the NAP de Las Americas — Madrid S.A.
In May 2004, we entered into an agreement with Global Switch LLP to move the NAP de las Americas — Madrid to a facility in Madrid owned by Global Switch LLP.
With our operations in Miami, Santa Clara and Sao Paulo, and the Madrid facility expected to be operational by July 2004, we will have Internet Exchange Point facilities located at major crossroads of Internet and data traffic. PriMetrica (formerly Telegeography), researcher and publisher of international telecom statistics, in its Global Internet Geography 2004, ranked Miami, the home of the NAP of the Americas, as the number one international Internet Hub City for Latin America and the Caribbean, Sao Paulo, where the NAP do Brasil is located, is ranked second. The San Francisco Bay area, where our NAP of the Americas/West facility is located, and Madrid, where our NAP de las Americas — Madrid is being deployed, are ranked fifth and twenty-first, respectively, in the Top 50 Interregional Internet Hub Cities in the world. We believe the Madrid network access point will also benefit from Madrid’s strategic geographic location by serving as an Internet gateway to the European Union, North Africa and the Americas.
We continue to explore other locations and have targeted additional locations in Europe, the Middle East and Mexico as a prospective hub locations.

Value Proposition
The combination of connectivity, neutrality and quality of our facilities allows us to provide the following value proposition to our customers:
• | Carrier-neutrality: Carriers and other customers are willing to locate their equipment within our facility and use our professional managed services because we neither discriminate against nor give preference to any individual or group of customers. Locating equipment at a data center is known in the industry as “colocation.” | |
• | Connectivity: Our customers can access any of the more than 80 network providers present at our facilities. | |
• | “Zero-Mile” Access: Because our facilities provide carrier-grade colocation space directly adjacent to the point at which the traffic is exchanged, there is effectively “zero” distance between the peering point and customers’ equipment, which reduces costs and points of failure and increases efficiency, and creates a new paradigm, connecting all participants at a distance of zero miles. | |
• | Service Level Agreements: We guarantee our customers 100% power availability and environmental stability at the NAP of the Americas. | |
• | Outsourcing of Services: Because of our staff’s expertise, our customers find it more cost effective to contract us to design, deploy, operate, monitor and manage their equipment and networks at our facilities than to hire dedicated staff to perform those functions. | |
• | Lower Costs, Increased Efficiency and Quality of Service: The combination of these attributes helps our customers reduce their total costs by eliminating local loop charges to connect their facility to the peering point, backhaul charges to and from connecting points, and the cost of redundancy to mitigate risks associated with increased points of failure along these routes. | |
Furthermore, given the heightened focus on homeland security, we are focusing on meeting the security sensitive technology needs of federal, state and local governments, as well as large enterprises. Our value proposition to this sector revolves around our security, critical mass of Internet and data connectivity and carrier neutrality.
Consequently, we have built a team of employees with federal government security clearances that, as of June 1, 2004, represented approximately 15% of our employee base. In addition, our facility in Miami can provide Secured Compartmentalized Information Facility certified space to customers that require that type of specialized environment.
Services
We currently offer the following core services:
Exchange Point Service: Our facilities provide a service called Exchange Point Service, which is designed to facilitate both peering and the purchase of transit, among customers.
Colocation Services: Our facilities provide the physical environment necessary to keep a customer’s Internet and telecommunications equipment up and running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This facility is custom designed to exceed industry standards for electrical and environmental systems. In addition, it offers a wide range of physical security features, including biometric scanners, man traps, smoke detection, fire suppression systems, motion sensors, secured access, video camera surveillance and security breach alarms. High levels of reliability are achieved through a number of redundant subsystems including power and fiber trunks from multiple sources.

This service reduces our customers’ implementation times, and increases the productivity of our customers’ technical personnel, by avoiding costly downtime due to lack of materials and equipment management and project coordination. | |
• | Managed Router Service — Utilizing the large mass of carriers at our facilities, this service offers customers cost savings and convenience by providing Internet access without the need to purchase or manage an Internet router. Customer network performance is optimized and multi-home configurations offer increased redundancy and reliability. | |
• | Network Management Services — This service assists customers in achieving maximum uptime by enlisting our engineers at our facility’s Network Operations Center to monitor and manage their equipment located within and outside the facility. | |
• | Systems Monitoring Services — This service assists customers in achieving maximum uptime by enlisting engineers to monitor their equipment located at our facilities or anywhere else on their network. | |
• | Professional Staging Service — This service turns the implementation of any network or telecom environment into a simple plug and play process. Customers ship their equipment to the NAP or alternate destination for installation, and our staging services team gathers and inspects all the equipment components. The team then assembles, configures, tests, and completes an inventory of the equipment, reducing the time required for a customer to install and load final configurations on site. The service also ensures that all ordered components are configured and installed properly in a controlled and stable environment. | |
• | Reference Timing — This service allows our customers to save on equipment costs, installation times and maintenance of our customers’ network timing reference by using our on site Stratum source. | |
• | Remote Hands Assistance — Remote Hands assists customers that need to remotely access their equipment to perform simple troubleshooting or minor maintenance tasks on a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week basis that do not require tools or equipment. Remote Hands services are available on demand or per contract. | |
• | Smart Hands Assistance — Smart Hands enhances the Remote Hands service with more complex remote assistance using industry certified engineers for troubleshooting and maintenance. | |
• | Turn Key Solution — Our staff can provide full integration activities for all aspects of a “turn key” global project. Along with the planning, design and engineering related to the network and the general program management to control the project, we manage vendors, purchase equipment, receive, store and manage inventory, provision, test, ship, track, install, turn up, monitor and manage performance of the network and monitor and maintain equipment and services. |

Customers
Our customer contracts have terms of between one year and twenty years, with an average of 2.5 years. Our customer contracts do not allow for early termination before the stated maturity date and typically provide for penalties if they are cancelled prior to expiration. Currently we have over 155 customers. The U.S. Federal government and Latin American Nautilus USA Inc. accounted for approximately $2.4 million and $1.7 million, or 14% and 10%, of total data center services revenues, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2004. Latin American Nautilus USA Inc. and Progress Telecom accounted for approximately $1.4 million (or 14%) and $1.0 million (or 10%) in data center revenues, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2003.
Sales and Marketing
Sales.We sell our products and services primarily through our direct sales force, which we organize by industry sectors such as carriers, enterprises, government and educational. We also have sales representatives at our facilities in Santa Clara, California and in San Paulo, Brazil, and expect to have a sales representative in Madrid, Spain by July 2004. We also have a channel marketing program to market our services to promote our products and services to enterprises in various geographic locations. This sales force is supported by a team of trained support engineers who work with our sales executives and their customers to respond to customer questions and design a package of services that best meets the customer’s needs.
Marketing.Our marketing activities are designed to drive awareness of our products and services, and generate qualified sales opportunities through various direct marketing and event driven campaigns. Our marketing team is responsible for providing our sales force with product brochures, collateral and relevant sales tools to improve their sales effectiveness. Our marketing organization also is responsible for our product strategy and direction based upon primary and secondary market research and the advancement of new technologies. We participate in a variety of Internet, computer and financial industry conferences and place our officers and employees in keynote speaking engagements at these conferences. In addition to these activities, we build recognition through sponsoring or leading industry technical forums and participating in Internet industry standard-setting bodies.
Competition
Our NAPS are neither a traditional data center, nor a traditional IX. Unlike many IXs in the United States, we combine exchange point services (to facilitate peering) with carrier-grade colocation space and managed services in carrier neutral facilities. Consequently, we believe that our facilities are competitively unique and can only be replicated through the expenditures of significant funds over a lengthy period, an unlikely event in today’s telecommunications environment.
We believe that carriers and Internet service providers have no need to be in two different Tier-1 IXs serving the same geographic area. Therefore, to the extent that carriers are located in our facilities and have already invested significant funds to establish their presence at those facilities, this is an incentive for them to remain our customers. In addition, a competing Tier-1 IX would require the backing of carriers and Internet service providers serving this area, many of which are already our customers.
However, our current and potential competition includes:
• | Internet data centers operated by established U.S., Brazilian and Spanish communications carriers such as AT&T, Qwest, Embratel and Telefonica. Unlike the major network providers, which constructed data centers primarily to help sell bandwidth, we have aggregated multiple networks in one location, which we believe provides diversity, competitive prices and high performance. Carrier operated data centers only provide one choice of carrier and generally require capacity minimums as part of their pricing structures. Our NAPs provide access to a choice of carriers and allow our customers to negotiate the best prices with a number of carriers resulting in better economics and redundancy. | |
• | U.S. IXs such as MAE West and carrier operated IXs. IXs, generally operated by carriers, are typically older facilities and may lack the incentive to upgrade the infrastructure in order to scale with traffic growth. In contrast, we provide secure facilities with 24-hour support and a full range of network and managed services. | |

Table of Contents
• | Vertically integrated web site hosting companies, colocation companies and Internet service providers such as Navisite and Globix. Some managed service providers require that customers purchase their entire network and managed services directly from them. We are a network and service provider aggregator and allow our customers to contract directly with the networks and web-hosting partner best suited for their business. | |
• | Neutral colocation and Internet exchange services companies such as Equinix. Geographic location tends to be an important factor in determining where networks will meet to create neutral points of connectivity. The location available may not be where potential buyers need capacity or where demand exists. Also, much of the older data center capacity cannot support current blade server technology that requires much more intensive cooling and power density. Our facilities are neutral connectivity points in their respective geographic areas. We believe that this creates a natural barrier to entry to competitors, as our large customers would likely not incur the expense to relocate or deploy similar infrastructure in other centers within our geographic regions. For this reason, we believe that we have positioned our company as a leader in carrier neutral exchange points connecting the United States and Europe to Latin American markets. | |
Employees
As of March 31, 2004, we had 145 full-time employees in the United States. Of these employees, 75 were in data center operations, 20 were in sales and marketing and 50 were in general and administrative. We also have four sales and administrative representatives in Brazil.
Our employees are not represented by a labor union and are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Compensation of Directors |
We maintain a policy of compensating our directors using stock option grants. Upon their election as a member of our board of directors, each director received 100,000 stock options. Our employee directors receive the same compensation as our non-employee directors. The options granted to our directors vest as follows: options to purchase one-third of the shares vest as of the date of grant, one-third vests as of the first anniversary of the date of grant, and one-third vests as of the second anniversary of the date of grant. We reimburse our directors for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as directors. We currently do not pay fees to our directors for attendance at meetings. We entered into an agreement with Joseph Wright, Jr., one of our directors, commencing September 21, 2001, engaging Mr. Wright as an independent consultant. The agreement is for a term of one year after which it renews automatically for successive one-year periods. Either party may terminate the agreement by providing 90 days notice. The agreement provides for an annual compensation of $100,000, payable monthly.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information with respect to the selling stockholders as of July 1, 2004. All of the information contained in the table below is based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders and we have not independently verified this information. Except as otherwise disclosed, the selling stockholders do not have and within the past three years have not had any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates or are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers.
Of the shares that may be offered for sale by the selling stockholders named below, 5,954,267 may be issued as a result of the exercise of warrants. Warrants to purchase 5,820,934 shares are currently exercisable, warrants to purchase 66,666 shares will become exercisable on July 10, 2004, warrants to purchase 66,667 shares will become exercisable on July 10, 2005. The warrants have exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.75. The number of shares of common stock that may be actually purchased by some selling stockholders under the warrants and the number of shares of common stock that may be actually sold by each selling stockholder will be determined by such selling stockholder. Because some selling stockholders may purchase all, some or none of the shares of common stock which can be purchased under the warrants and each selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock which each holds, and because the offering contemplated by this prospectus is not currently being underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering. The information set forth in the following table regarding the beneficial ownership after resale of shares is based on the basis that each selling stockholder will purchase the maximum number of shares of

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares on behalf of the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may sell their shares offered here to purchasers directly. Alternatively, the selling stockholders may offer the shares to or through underwriters, brokers/dealers or agents. The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the common stock owned by them and, if any selling stockholders default in the performance of such secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the relevant
56
Table of Contents
The selling stockholders may sell the shares in one or more transactions:
• | at fixed prices; | |
• | at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; | |
• | at prices related to prevailing market prices; and/or | |
• | at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. |
The sale of shares may be effected in transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions):
• | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; | |
• | in the over-the-counter market; | |
• | in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or in the over-the-counter market; or | |
• | through the writing of options. |
Because the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the selling stockholders may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Act may apply to their sales in the market.
Upon being notified by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, which supplement will disclose:
• | the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s); | |
• | the number of shares involved; | |
• | the price at which the shares were sold; | |
• | the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable; and | |
• | such other facts as may be material to the transaction. |
Pursuant to our agreement with the selling stockholders, we will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares, including, without limitation, commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On March 31, 2004, Guillermo Amore, one of our directors, purchased 12 shares of our Series I 8% Convertible Preferred Stock, and Margui Family Partners, Ltd., an entity in which Mr. Amore has an interest,

Upon conversion of outstanding promissory notes in April 2002, two of our directors, Guillermo Amore and Miguel Rosenfeld, received 1,501,503 shares and 1,134,641 shares of our common stock, respectively. The original principal amounts of the notes converted by Messrs. Amore and Rosenfeld were $1,126,127 and $850,980, respectively. The conversion price of $0.75 per share was determined by our management and approved by the board of directors, with Messrs. Amore and Rosenfeld abstaining, after considering recent quoted market prices of our stock, recent equity transactions and our business plan and financial projections.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and some of our officers, to provide them with the maximum indemnification allowed under our bylaws and applicable law, including indemnification for all judgments and expenses incurred as the result of any lawsuit in which such person is named as a defendant by reason of being one of our directors, officers or employees, to the extent such indemnification is permitted by the laws of Delaware. We believe that the limitation of liability provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the indemnification agreements enhance our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.
On September 5, 2001, we closed on a $48.0 million credit facility with Ocean Bank. In addition to Mr. Medina personally guaranteeing the credit facility, and in order for us to obtain the facility, the bank further required Mr. Medina to, prior to the bank disbursing funds under the credit facility, provide a $5.0 million certificate of deposit to the bank as collateral for certain personal loans Mr. Medina has with the bank and commit to accelerate the maturity date of those personal loans to December 31, 2001. Subsequent to September 2001, Mr. Medina and the bank changed the maturity date on the personal loans, first to December 31, 2001 and later to July 1, 2002. Mr. Medina also agreed to subordinate debt that we owed to Mr. Medina in the event of our default under the credit facility. Mr. Medina has repaid part of those personal loans to Ocean Bank, leaving an outstanding principal balance of approximately $4.6 million as of December 31, 2003. On February 11, 2004, Mr. Medina extended one loan with a principal amount of approximately $3.3 million to February 11, 2005 and made an interest payment of $63,500. On March 8, 2004, Mr. Medina extended the maturity date on the other loan which had a principal amount of approximately $1.3 million to March 8, 2005 and made a $73,446 payment of principal and interest.
On September 5, 2001, in consideration of Mr. Medina agreeing to repay his indebtedness to the bank earlier than otherwise required, pledging the certificate of deposit to the bank and personally guaranteeing the $48 million credit facility and approximately $21 million of construction payables, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with him. Under the terms of the amended and restated employment agreement we will indemnify Mr. Medina from any personal liability related to his guarantees of any of our debt, use commercially reasonable efforts to relieve Mr. Medina of all his guarantees of our debt, provide up to $6.5 million of cash collateral to the bank should Mr. Medina be unable to repay the personal loans when due and provide a non interest-bearing $5.0 million loan to Mr. Medina. If the promissory note becomes in default, we have the right of offset against all amounts payable by us to Mr. Medina, which is approximately $2.2 million as of March 31, 2002. Additionally, as long as Mr. Medina’s guarantees of our debt exist, we have agreed to nominate Mr. Medina to our Board of Directors and not remove Mr. Medina, unless for good cause, or remove any of our officers without Mr. Medina’s consent. There was no change in the amount or timing of Mr. Medina’s cash or non-cash compensation in connection with these agreements, nor did Mr. Medina receive any guarantee fee or other fees in connection with his guaranteeing our indebtedness. We do not anticipate funding the $6.5 million of cash collateral.
No fee was paid to Mr. Medina for his guarantee of the Ocean Bank loan. In July 2002, the terms of our $5.0 million loan to Mr. Medina were amended. The amended note has a maturity date of September 30, 2004 and bears interest subsequent to September 5, 2002.
We entered into an agreement with Joseph Wright, Jr., one of our directors, commencing September 21, 2001, engaging Mr. Wright as an independent consultant. The agreement is for a term of one year after which

In April 2003, in connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Debentures we received $400,000 from two directors, Joseph Wright and Jose Maria Figueres-Olsen, and $50,000 from an employee and shareholder.
One of our subsidiaries, Terremark Financial Services, Inc. acts as consultant to a subsidiary of Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc., in connection with telecommunications operations in China. Messrs. Medina, Rosen and Wright are directors of Fusion. During the year ended March 31, 2004, we purchased approximately $500,000 in services from Fusion.
Included in interest income is approximately $61,000 from a $5.0 million receivable from Mr. Medina.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description of the terms of our common stock sets forth certain general terms and provisions of our common stock. This section also summarizes relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as “Delaware law.” The terms of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as well as the terms of Delaware law, are more detailed than the general information provided below. Therefore, you should carefully consider the actual provisions of these documents.
Authorized and Outstanding Shares
As of May 31, 2004, we had the authority to issue:
• | 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share; and | |
• | 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which are issuable in series on terms to be determined by our board of directors, of which 20 shares are designated as Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, 294 shares are designated as Series H Convertible Preferred Stock and 600 shares are designated as Series I Convertible Preferred Stock. |
As of May 31, 2004:
• | 311,798,104 shares of our common stock were outstanding; | |
• | 20 shares of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding and held by an entity in which Manuel Medina, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, owns a 50% interest and could have been converted into 2,163,809 shares of our common stock; | |
• | 294 shares of our Series H Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding. Each share of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into 1,000 shares of our common stock; | |
• | 400 shares of our Series I Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding. Each share of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into 33,334 shares of our common stock; and | |
• | approximately 67,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debentures. |
Rights of Our Common Stock
Preemptive Rights.The holders of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any stock or other securities of ours.
Voting Rights.Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share.
Dividends.Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends or other distributions when and if declared by our board of directors. The right of our board of directors to declare dividends, however, is subject to any rights of the holders of other classes of our capital stock and the availability of sufficient funds
59
Table of Contents
Liquidation Rights.In the event of the liquidation of our company, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of other classes of our capital stock, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive any of our assets available for distribution to our stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.
Listing
We list our common stock on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “TWW.”
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the Charter and Bylaws and of Delaware Law
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt at a price which many stockholders may find attractive. The existence of these provisions could limit the price that investors might otherwise pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws |
Blank Check Preferred Stock.Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the authority under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to issue preferred stock with rights superior to the rights of the holders of common stock. As a result, preferred stock could be issued quickly and easily, could impair the rights of holders of common stock and could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change of control or make removal of management more difficult.
Election of Directors.Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a majority of directors then in office may fill any vacancy occurring on the board of directors, even though less than a quorum may then be in office. These provisions may discourage a third party from voting to remove incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by that removal with its own nominees.
Stockholder Action.Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may only act at meetings of stockholders and not by written consent in lieu of a stockholders’ meeting, unless the action that requires stockholder approval is approved by a majority of our continuing directors.
Stockholder Meetings.Our bylaws provide that stockholders may not call a special meeting of the stockholders. Rather, only our board of directors, acting pursuant to a resolution of a majority of the directors then in office, will be able to call special meetings of stockholders. Our bylaws also provide that stockholders may only conduct business at special meetings of stockholders that was specified in the notice of the meeting. These provisions may discourage another person or entity from making a tender offer, even if it acquired a majority of our outstanding voting stock, because the person or entity could only take action at a duly called stockholders’ meeting relating to the business specified in the notice of meeting and not by written consent.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals.Our bylaws provide that a stockholder seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of this intention in writing. To be timely, a stockholder must deliver or mail the notice and we must receive the notice at our principal executive offices not less than 5 days prior to the date our directors determine for proposals to be received. The bylaws also include a similar requirement for making director nominations and specify requirements as to the form and content of the stockholder’s notice. These provisions could delay stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding stock until the next stockholders’ meeting.
Super-Majority Voting.Delaware law generally provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless a

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute |
We are a Delaware corporation subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under Section 203, some business combinations between a Delaware corporation whose stock generally is publicly-traded or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and an interested stockholder are prohibited for a three-year period following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
• | the corporation has elected in its restated certificate of incorporation not to be governed by Section 203; | |
• | the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder before the stockholder became an interested stockholder; | |
• | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the commencement of the transaction, excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to tender stock held by the plan in a tender or exchange offer; or | |
• | the board of directors approves the business combination and holders of two-thirds of the voting stock which the interested stockholder did not own authorize the business combination at a meeting. |
We have not made an election in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to opt out of Section 203. In addition to the above exceptions to Section 203, the three-year prohibition does not apply to some business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of an extraordinary transaction involving the corporation and a person who was not an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors. For the purposes of Section 203, a business combination generally includes mergers or consolidations, transactions involving the assets or stock of the corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries and transactions which increase an interested stockholder’s percentage ownership of stock. Also, an interested stockholder generally includes a stockholder who becomes beneficial owner of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock, together with the affiliates or associates of that stockholder.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:
• | any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; | |
• | acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
• | unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or | |
• | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
This provision has no effect on any non-monetary remedies that may be available to us or our stockholders, nor does it relieve us or our officers or directors from compliance with federal or state securities laws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the provisions that we describe above or otherwise, we have been
61
Table of Contents
Our bylaws also permit us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer or director for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity, regardless of whether our bylaws would otherwise permit indemnification for that liability. We have obtained liability insurance for our officers and directors in the amount of $10 million. At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification will be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for indemnification.
Registration Rights
Holders of approximately 11,187,823 shares of our common stock have registration rights with respect to those shares.
We are required to bear all registration expenses incurred in connection with these registrations. The holders of shares registered by us will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of their securities. We also agreed to indemnify these holders for any damages they suffer due to any untrue statement or omission that we make in a registration statement covering their shares.
The registration rights of these holders will terminate when all of the registrable shares may be sold without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144(k).
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Mellon Bank, N.A.

Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Terremark Worldwide, Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders’ deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) operates facilities at strategic locations in Florida, California, and Sao Paulo from which the Company assists users of the Internet and large communications networks in communicating with other users and networks. The Company’s primary facility is the NAP of the Americas, a carrier-neutral Tier-1 network access point (the “NAP”) in Miami, Florida. The NAP provides exchange point, colocation and managed services to carriers, Internet service providers, network service providers, government entities, multinational enterprises and other end users. The Company’s strategy is to leverage its concentration of connectivity and carrier-neutral status to sell services to customers within and outside of the Company’s TerreNAP Data Centers.
Prior to April 2000, the Company was engaged in the development, sales, leasing, management and financing of retail, high-rise office buildings, mixed-use projects, condominiums, hotels and government-assisted housing. The Company was also involved in a number of ancillary businesses that complemented its development operations. Specifically, the Company engaged in offering financial services, property management, construction management, condominium hotel management, residential and commercial leasing brokerage, and advisory services. By March 31, 2002, the Company had exited non-core real estate activities, real estate development, property management, financing and the ancillary businesses that complimented these real-estate development operations. The Company’s remaining real estate activities include technology construction work and management of the property where the NAP of the Americas is located.
2. LIQUIDITY AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company privately placed $75 million in aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Convertible Notes due June 15, 2009 (the “Senior Notes”), to qualified institutional buyers. The Company has also granted the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $11.25 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes will bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable semi-annually, beginning December 15, 2004 and will be convertible at the option of the holders, at $1.25 per share. The Company will utilize the net proceeds from this offering to pay all of its outstanding debt, for possible acquisitions and for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.
The Senior Notes will rank senior in priority with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and rank junior to any future secured indebtedness. If there is a change in control, the holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Company issue a cash dividend on its common stock, it will pay contingent interest to the holders equal to the product of the per share cash dividend and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each holder’s note.
The Company may redeem some or all of the notes for cash at any time on or after June 15, 2007 if the closing price of the common shares has exceeded 200% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date the Company mails the redemption notice. If the Company redeems the notes during the twelve month period commencing on June 15, 2007 or 2008, the redemption price equals 104.5% or 102.25%, respectively, of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus an amount equal to 50% of all remaining scheduled interest payments on the notes from, and including, the redemption date through the maturity date.
On May 17, 2004, the Company provided certain debenture holders with notice of its intent to redeem the $25.0 million 10% convertible debentures and the $2.8 million 13.125% convertible debentures, effective

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
May 31, 2004. As of May 31, 2004, all of the holders of the 10% convertible debentures and $2.5 million in principal of the 13.125% convertible debentures opted to convert their debentures into an aggregate of 54,726,427 shares of the Company’s common stock. The debt conversion has effectively reduced annual cash interest payments by approximately $2.9 million.
In May 2004, the Company issued three senior secured promissory notes in favor of Veritas High Yield Arbitrage I Fund, LLC, Veritas High Yield Arbitrage II Fund, LLC, and Veritas High Yield Arbitrage Fund, (Bermuda) Ltd. (collectively the “Lenders”) for the aggregate amount of $5.2 million. The notes accrue interest at 12% per annum, are paid monthly based on original face amount, and mature on October 29, 2004, with prepayment permitted without penalty after the first month.
Historically, the Company has financed its operations and capital requirements primarily through the credit facility with Ocean Bank, issuance of unsecured notes, issuance of convertible debentures, private sale of common and preferred stock and vendor financing, including construction payables and capital lease obligations. As of March 31, 2003, total indebtedness was approximately $116.1 million. As of March 31, 2004, this amount was reduced to $82.1, including the conversion to equity of $15.0 million of the Ocean Bank debt and $22.6 million of certain construction payables, including accrued interest.
From the time of the merger through March 31, 2004, the Company has incurred net operating losses of approximately $222.5 million. The Company’s cash flows from operations for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were negative and the working capital deficit was approximately $10.2 million and $38.3 million as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Based on customer contracts signed as of June 14, 2004, expected expansions of customers under contract and anticipated future contracts from potential customers in the sales pipeline, the Company projects that its cash flow from operations will be positive by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005. The Company’s projected revenues and cash flows, depend on several factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the rate at which the Company provides services and these services are accepted by customers under existing contracts, the rate at which new services are sold to the government sector and the commercial sector, the ability to retain the customer base, the willingness and timing of potential customers in outsourcing the housing and management of their technology infrastructure to the Company, the reliability and cost-effectiveness of the Company’s services and the Company’s ability to market its services. Although the real estate activities had a net operating loss of approximately $338,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company anticipates that these activities will generate enough revenues to cover operating expenses. If revenues for real estate activities are below amounts anticipated, cash needs are not expected to exceed $200,000 for the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company believes that its cash resources are sufficient to meet working capital, debt service and corporate overhead requirements associated with the Company’s operations until at least March 31, 2005.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting principles and practices used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements follows.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
F-7
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial statements to conform with current presentation.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all amounts held in highly liquid instruments with an original purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances maintained in the operating and interest-bearing money market accounts at the Company’s banks.
Investment in unconsolidated entities
For investments in less than majority-owned entities where the Company does not exercise significant influence, the Company uses the cost method of accounting. For investments in less than majority-owned entities where the Company exercises significant influence, the Company uses the equity method of accounting.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash represents cash deposits with a financial institution collateralizing a $750,000 letter of credit issued to the lessor of the Company’s colocation facility in Santa Clara, California.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment includes acquired assets and those accounted for under capital leases. Acquired assets are recorded at cost and capital leased assets are recorded at the net present value of minimum lease payments. Property and equipment, included in leased assets, are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated remaining useful lives, as follows:
Leasehold improvements | 5 - 20 years | |||
Computer software | 3 years | |||
Furniture, fixture and equipment | 5 - 20 years |
Costs for improvements and betterments that extend the life of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Prepaid and other assets
Other assets consist of loan costs, prepaid expenses and other. Loan costs, principally loan origination and related fees, are deferred and amortized as interest expense over the life of the respective loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
Goodwill and Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of
Goodwill represents the unamortized balance of the excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of Telecom Routing Exchange Developers, Inc., a corporation holding rights to develop and manage facilities catering to the telecommunications industry.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
As of April 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives are not amortized but rather are tested at least annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step approach. Initially the fair value of the Company’s reporting units are compared with their carrying amount, including goodwill, to identify potential impairment. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess, if any, of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 142, intangible assets were generally amortized on the straight-line method over five years. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company ceased amortization of its intangible assets with indefinite lives and completed an initial impairment test of intangible assets as of April 1, 2002. Management determined in the initial impairment test that these assets were not impaired based on their fair values. Fair value was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows and the assumed market capitalization at the reporting unit level.
As of April 1, 2002, the Company accounts for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This standard requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 144, the Company accounted for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.”
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company performed its annual test for impairment. The Company completed its evaluation and concluded that there were no impairments.
Rent expense
Rent expense under operating leases is recorded on the straight-line method based on total contracted amounts. Differences between amounts contractually due and that reported are included in deferred rent.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments through the use of public market prices, quotes from financial institutions, discounted cash flow analyses and other available information. Judgment is required in interpreting data to develop estimates of market value and, accordingly, amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The Company does not hold its financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, equaled their book value. The fair value of capital lease obligations and convertible debentures, based on management estimates equaled their book value due to obligations or borrowings with similar interest rates, maturities and extent of collateralization. The fair value of the Company’s redeemable preferred stock is estimated to be its liquidation value, which includes accumulated but unpaid dividends. The
F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
fair value of other financial instruments the Company held for which it is practicable to estimate such value is as follows:
March 31, 2004 | March 31, 2003 | |||||||||||||||
Book value | Fair value | Book value | Fair value | |||||||||||||
Notes payable, including current portion | $ | 40,506,039 | $ | 30,978,196 | $ | 57,639,901 | $ | 52,014,901 | ||||||||
Construction payables, including accrued interest in 2003 | 1,363,554 | 1,363,554 | 23,009,818 | 13,537,162 |
As of March 31, 2004, fair value of the Company’s notes payable was based on discounted cash flows using a discount rate of 10%. As of March 31, 2003, fair value of the Company’s notes payable was based on the Company’s stock price as of the April 30, 2003 partial settlement and other reliable information.
As of March 31, 2004, fair value of construction payables was estimated to equal their carrying value due to their short-term nature. As of March 31, 2003, fair value of construction payables, including accrued interest was determined to be $13,537,162 based on the April 30, 2003 settlement.
Stock warrants
The Company uses the fair value method to value warrants granted to non-employees. Some warrants are vested over time and some are vested upon issuance. The Company determined the fair value for non-employee warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the same assumption used for employee grants, except for expected life which was assumed to be between 1 and 7 years. When stock warrants are granted in connection with the issuance of debt, the fair value of stock warrants is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method, over the life of the debt. When stock warrants are granted in connection with the issuance of preferred stock, the fair value of the stock warrants is recognized as a non-cash preferred dividend in determining net loss per share to common stockholders.
Revenue and profit recognition and allowance for bad debts
Revenue is recognized as service is provided when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. The Company does not request collateral from customers. If the Company determines that collection is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the fee and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. The Company accounts for data center revenues in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” which provides guidance on separating multiple element revenue arrangements into separate units of accounting.
Data center revenues consist of monthly recurring fees for colocation and exchange point services and non-recurring installation and managed services fees. Revenues from colocation and exchange point services are recognized ratably over the period of usage. Installation fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the related contract. Managed services fees are recognized in the period in which the services are provided.
Revenues from development, commission, management fees and construction fees are recognized in the period in which the services are provided.
Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers cost incurred to be the best measure of progress on these contracts. Billings in
F-10
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are classified as other liabilities and represent billings in excess of revenues recognized. Construction contract expenses costs include all direct material and labor costs and indirect costs related to contract performance such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, bad debt and depreciation. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, it is possible the current estimates relating to completion cost and profitability of its uncompleted contracts will vary from actual results.
Management analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes current economic news and trends, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating revenue recognition and the adequacy of the allowance for bad debts.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
Significant concentrations
Two customers accounted for approximately 14% and 10% of data center revenues for the year ended March 31, 2004. Two customers accounted for approximately 14% and 10% of data center revenues for the year ended March 31, 2003.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses the intrinsic value-based method to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans. Under this method, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s shares and the option’s exercise price.

Beneficial conversion feature
When the Company issues debt or equity which is convertible into common stock at a discount from the common stock market price at the date the debt is issued, a beneficial conversion feature for the difference between the closing price and the conversion price multiplied by the number of shares issuable upon conversion is recognized. The beneficial conversion feature is presented as a discount to the related debt or equity, with an offsetting amount increasing additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized as additional interest expense or dividend from the date the instrument is issued to the date it first becomes convertible.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share (“EPS”) equals net loss divided by the number of weighted average common shares. Diluted EPS includes potentially dilutive securities such as stock options and convertible securities. The effect of shares issuable upon exercise of convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock options is anti-dilutive, therefore diluted loss per share is not presented in a comparative format.
Recent accounting standards
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, (“SAB 104”),Revenue Recognition. SAB 104 updates portions of existing interpretative guidance in order to be consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. The adoption of SAB 104 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement requires that an issuer classify financial instruments which are within its scope as a liability. Most of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The impact of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 150 on its consolidated financial statements was to present Series H redeemable preferred stock as a liability.
In March 2003, the FASB reached a consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. The consensus provides guidance on the accounting for multiple element revenue arrangements. It also provided guidance on how to separate multiple element revenue arrangements into separate units of accounting and how to measure and allocate the arrangement’s total consideration. The effective date of EITF 00-21 is for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods (interim or annual) beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company’s adoption of EITF 00-21 as of July 1, 2003 has not impacted its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB released a revised version of FIN 46 clarifying certain aspects of FIN 46 and providing certain entities with exemptions from the requirements of FIN 46. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. NAP de las Americas-Madrid S.A. is a variable interest entity but its current relationship indicates that it does not require consolidation since the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s maximum related exposure to loss is approximately $500,000 at March 31, 2004. Management does not expect the adoption of FIN 46 to have a significant impact in the Company’s consolidated financial position or result of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB approved SFAS 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections.” In addition to rescinding SFAS 4, 44, and 64 and amending SFAS 13, SFAS 145 establishes a financial reporting standard for classification of extinguishment of debt in the financial statements in accordance with APB 30. SFAS 145 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position. However, SFAS 145 had an impact on the presentation of the results of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004.

6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES, NET
In June 2002, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with the Comunidad Autonoma de Madrid to develop and operate carrier-neutral network access points in Spain. As part of that agreement, the parties formed NAP de las Americas — Madrid S.A. to own and operate carrier-neutral NAPs in Spain, modeled after the NAP of the Americas. The shareholders in this new company are the Comunidad through its Instituto Madrileno de Desarrollo — IMADE, the Camara Oficial de Comercio e Industria de Madrid, Red Electrica Telecomunicaciones, S.A., Telvent Sistemas y Redes S.A., a subsidiary of Abengoa S.A., and Centro de Transportes de Coslada, S.A. (CTC). At the time the NAP de las Americas — Madrid S.A. was formed, the Company owned 1% of its equity, which was subsequently increased to 10%. In May 2004, the Company purchased the 20% of this entity owned by Telvent Sistemas y Redes S.A. for approximately $550,000, and expects to exercise before June 24, 2004 its option to purchase the 30% of the interest owned by the Comunidad (CTC and IMADE) for approximately $1.2 million. The Camara has decided to retain its 20% interest. The Company expects to close on the option exercise on or before June 24, 2004. As a result of these transactions, the Company will have a 60% equity interest in NAP de las Americas — Madrid. At which time, the entity will be consolidated.

The decline in the telecommunications industry and resulting decline in related real estate construction and leasing activities caused the Company to perform an impairment analysis during the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 of its promote interests in TECOTA acquired in the telecom facilities management operations sale and of its goodwill acquired in the Post Shell acquisition. The Company’s analyses were based on estimated fair value determined by the discounted future expected cash flows method and anticipated obtaining additional construction contracts for Post Shell and additional tenants for TECOTA. Based on these analyses, the Company determined that these assets, which are included in its telecom facilities management and real estate services segments, were impaired as of March 31, 2002 by approximately $3.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2003, no significant contracts were awarded to Post Shell and no tenants were added to TECOTA. As a result, the Company impaired the remaining $905,000 in TECOTA promote interests and $2.3 million in Post Shell goodwill.

(1) | Expected to be paid in full, in June 2004, with proceeds from issuance of $75.0 million Senior Notes. |
(2) | The Company did not pay approximately $7.6 million in principal and interest which were due April 1, 2004 under some of its short-term notes. Accordingly, these notes were in default.

On September 5, 2001, the Company borrowed $48 million from Ocean Bank. The loan is secured by all of the Company’s assets and allows for up to a $25 million junior lien position on the assets of its NAP of the Americas, Inc. subsidiary. The proceeds of the original credit facility were used to:
• | repay a $10 million short-term loan from Mr. Medina, the proceeds of which the Company had used to fund the build out of the NAP of the Americas (Mr. Medina, in turn, used the $10 million to repay a personal $10 million short-term loan from Ocean Bank); | |
• | repay $3.5 million of debt that the Company owed to Ocean Bank under a line of credit personally guaranteed by Mr. Medina; | |
• | pay $1.2 million in loan costs related to the $48 million credit facility (including $720,000 commitment fee); and | |
• | fund the NAP of the Americas build out costs. |
On April 30, 2003, Ocean Bank revised its loan with the Company by converting, at $.75 per common share, $15.0 million of the outstanding principal balance under the credit facility into 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock with an approximate $9.6 million market value and extending the term of the remaining $29.0 million until April 30, 2006. The resulting $5.4 million debt restructuring gain was deferred and recorded in notes payable and is being amortized as reductions in interest expense over the life of the remaining debt. Under the new terms, interest is payable quarterly at an annual stated rate of 5.25% for the first twelve months and 7.5% thereafter.
Mr. Medina has personally guaranteed the loan with Ocean Bank. In addition to Mr. Medina’s personal guarantee of the loan, and in order to obtain the credit facility, the bank further required Mr. Medina, prior to the bank disbursing funds under the credit facility, to (i) provide a $5.0 million certificate of deposit to the bank as collateral for certain personal loans that Mr. Medina has with the bank and (ii) commit to accelerate the maturity date of those personal loans. In the event of the Company’s default under the credit facility Mr. Medina also agreed to subordinate any debt that the Company owed to Mr. Medina until the credit

facility is repaid in full. Mr. Medina has repaid part of his personal loans to the bank through liquidation of the $5.0 million certificate of deposit in January 2002, leaving an outstanding principal balance of approximately $4.8 million. In July 2003, Mr. Medina exercised his option to extend the loan to December 31, 2003 and made a principal payment of $200,000 resulting in a $4.6 million balance on December 31, 2003. On February 11, 2004, Mr. Medina extended one loan with a principal amount of approximately $3.3 million to February 11, 2005 and made an interest payment of $63,500. On March 8, 2004, Mr. Medina extended the maturity date on the other loan which had a principal balance of approximately $1.3 million to March 8, 2005 and made a $73,446 payment of principal and interest.
On September 5, 2001 and in consideration of Mr. Medina’s agreeing to repay his indebtedness to the bank earlier than otherwise required, pledging the certificate of deposit to the bank and personally guaranteeing the $48 million credit facility and approximately $21 million of construction payables, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with him. Under the terms of the amended and restated employment agreement, the Company will indemnify Mr. Medina from any personal liability related to his guarantees of the Company’s debt, use commercially reasonable efforts to relieve Mr. Medina of all his guarantees of the Company’s debt, provide up to $6.5 million of cash collateral to the bank should Mr. Medina be unable to repay the personal loans when due and provide a non interest-bearing $5.0 million loan to Mr. Medina for as long as his guarantees of the Company’s debt exist. Mr. Medina and the Company have agreed that the Company has the right to withhold payment to Mr. Medina of the $1,375,000 in convertible debt held by him until the note to the Company is repaid. The note receivable from Mr. Medina is shown as an adjustment to equity. The $48 million credit facility and the note receivable from Mr. Medina were approved by the Board of Directors. Mr. Medina’s note to the Company has a maturity date of September 30, 2004 and bears interest at 2%, the applicable federal rate. Interest is due in bi-annual installments. The Company reviews the collectibility of this note on a quarterly basis.
Interest expense of approximately $14.6 million, $11.0 million, and $9.8 million for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were net of amounts capitalized to leasehold improvements and real estate inventories totaling $0, $0 and $891,644, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Company’s accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. To support the Company’s conclusion that a 100% valuation allowance was required, the Company primarily considered such factors as the Company’s history of operating losses, the nature of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the absence of taxable income in prior carryback years. Although the Company’s operating plans assume taxable and operating income in future periods, the Company’s evaluation of all the available evidence in assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets indicates that such plans are not considered sufficient to overcome the available negative evidence.
The Company’s federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, amounting to approximately $137 million, begin to expire in 2011. Utilization of the net operating losses generated prior to the AmTec merger may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code.
The reconciliation between the statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate on pre-tax (loss) income is as follows:
For the year ended March 31, | ||||||||||||

Increase in valuation allowance | 23.2 | % | 30.4 | % | 31.1 | % | ||||||

The Company expects to pay a limited amount of tax for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006. The tax costs will be primarily limited to alternative minimum taxes as the Company anticipates utilizing its net operating loss carryforwards and expects to have significant tax deductions attributable to stock options exercised in the years.

Revenues generated among segments are recorded at rates similar to those recorded in third-party transactions. Transfers of assets and liabilities between segments are recorded at cost.

Item 13. | Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution |
The following table sets forth the costs and expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, payable by us in connection with the sale of common stock being registered. All amounts are estimates except the SEC registration fee.
Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee | $ | 11,385.79 | ||
Printing and engraving expenses | 50,000.00 | |||
Accounting fees and expenses | 21,000.00 | |||
Legal fees and expenses | 105,000.00 | |||

Item 14. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporation’s Board of Directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registrant’s bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors and officers and permissible indemnification of employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty as our director and our stockholders. This provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the directors’ fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with an aggregate liability for the policy year, inclusive of costs of defense, in the amount of $10,000,000.
Item 15. | Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities |
On March 31, 2004, we closed on the issuance of 400 shares of Series I 8% Convertible Preferred Stock for $7.8 million in cash and $2.2 million in promissory notes due before June 1, 2004, together with warrants to purchase 2.8 million shares of our common stock and which are exercisable for five years at $0.90 per share. The Series I Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share. In January 2007, the Series I Preferred Stock dividend rate will increase to 10% per year until January 2009 when it increases to 12%. Dividends are payable, at our discretion, in shares of our common stock or cash. We have the right to redeem the Series I Preferred Stock at $25,000 per share plus accrued dividends at any time after December 31, 2004.
On April 30, 2003, we issued 10% Subordinated Secured Convertible Debentures due April 30, 2006 for an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. The debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share. Interest is payable quarterly beginning July 31, 2003. The debentures were issued in

During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, debt holders entered into irrevocable agreements to convert approximately $17.1 million of debt and accrued interest into our common stock at $0.75 per share. The debt holders included Miguel Rosenfeld and Joseph Wright, members of our board of directors, each converting $517,000 in debt. This transaction closed in January 2003 and resulted in a $4.9 million inducement charge. At closing, we issued 22.8 million shares of our common stock.
In August 2002, we issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock in a private offering to accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $61,000 pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or 3(b) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The warrants were subsequently converted into 100,000 shares of our common stock.
In June 2002, the NAP de las Americas-Madrid purchased 5 million shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share. The shares were sold pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or 3(b) of the Securities Act and Regulation S promulgated thereunder. In the Share Purchase Agreement with the NAP de las Americas — Madrid the Company agreed that if prior to June 13, 2003 it issued any shares of common stock for a purchase price of less than $1.00 per share (the “Anti-Dilution Price”), we would issue to the NAP de las Americas — Madrid that number of additional shares of common stock determined by dividing 5,000,000 by the Anti-Dilution Price, and subtracting from the quotient thereof the number of shares previously issued to the NAP de las Americas — Madrid in respect of the Agreement. In August 2002, we sold approximately 17.6 million shares at $0.58 per share, and, as a result NAP de las Americas — Madrid had the right to Invoke the Anti-Dilution Provision of the Agreement and request that the Company adjust the sale price. NAP de las Americas — Madrid did not request those shares until July, 2003 and, as a result, the Company issued an additional 3,600,000 shares of common stock to the NAP de las Americas — Madrid.
In April 2002, we received a binding commitment from a group, including Miguel Rosenfeld and Guillermo Amore, members of our board of directors, and Manuel D. Medina, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for the purchase of $7.5 million of common stock at $0.75 per share. The shares were sold pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or 3(b) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In May 2002, we issued 10 million shares of our common stock for $3.6 million in cash and the conversion of $3.9 million in short term promissory notes to equity. Mr. Rosenfeld purchased 1,668,000 shares for $1,251,000, Mr. Amore purchased 1,501,502 shares for $1,126,127 and Mr. Medina purchased 1,134,667 shares for $851,000.
In April 2002, we entered into a Put and Warrant purchase agreement with TD Global Finance, or TDGF. In July 2002, we exercised our right to sell to TDGF 17,648,842 common shares for $0.58 per share for a total of $10.2 million. During August 2002, we received $10.2 million in related cash. In conjunction with the sale, we issued three call warrants, each granting TDGF the right to purchase 1,176,588 shares of our common stock. The shares and the warrants were sold pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or 3(b) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The warrants expired without exercise on January 16, 2003.
In May 2002, we sold 10 million shares of our common stock for $7.5 million to a group that includes two of our directors, representing a premium to market.
On May 14, 2001, we sold 294 shares of our Series H Convertible Preferred Stock to a third party for $500,000. The Series H Convertible Preferred Stock accrues dividends when, as and if declared by the Board at an annual rate of $102.00 per share and has preference over dividends paid on common stock. The dividends are payable, in our sole discretion, in cash or additional shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s election into 1,000 shares of common stock.
