As a result of the transaction, the Company expects to record a net gain of between $4.0 million and $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003.

Additionally, the historical operations of NaviSite have been reflected as loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and NaviSite’s net current assets and net long term assets (liabilities) have been reported as net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Venture Capital

The Company maintains interests in several venture capital funds: CMG@Ventures I, LLC (“CMG@Ventures I”); CMG@Ventures II, LLC (“CMG@Ventures II”); CMG@Ventures III, LLC (“CMG@Ventures III”); CMG@Ventures Expansion, LLC (“CMG@Ventures Expansion”); and CMGI@Ventures IV, LLC (“CMGI@Ventures IV”). CMGI’s venture funds (“CMGI @Ventures”) invest in emerging Internet service and technology companies, introducing innovative and promising technology companies into the CMGI network to complement and create competitive advantage throughout the extended family of companies. The Company anticipates and promotes synergies between these strategic positions and CMGI’s core businesses, including speeding technological innovation and access to markets.

The Company owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 77.5% of the cumulative net profits of CMG@Ventures I. The Company owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 80% of the cumulative net profits of CMG@Ventures II.

CMGI formed the @Ventures III venture capital funds (“@Ventures III Fund”) in August 1998. The @Ventures III Fund secured capital commitments from outside investors and CMGI, to be invested in emerging

8

Internet and technology companies. The @Ventures III Fund consists of four entities, which co-invest in each investment made by the @Ventures III Fund. Approximately 78% of each investment made by the @Ventures III Fund is made by two entities, @Ventures III, L.P. and @Ventures Foreign Fund III, L.P. CMGI does not have a direct ownership interest in either of these entities, but CMGI is entitled to approximately 2% of the cumulative net capital gains realized by both entities (after return of certain priority amounts to the investors in such entities) as a result of its ownership of an approximately 10% interest in the general partner of each of such entities, @Ventures Partners, III, LLC (“@Ventures Partners III”). CMG@Ventures III co-invests approximately 20% of the total amount invested in each @Ventures III Fund portfolio company investment. CMGI owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 80% of the cumulative net capital gains realized by CMG@Ventures III. @Ventures Partners III is entitled to the remaining 20% of the net capital gains realized by CMG@Ventures III. The remaining 2% invested in each @Ventures III Fund investment is provided by a fourth entity, @Ventures Investors, LLC, in which CMGI has no interest. During fiscal year 2000, CMGI formed additional venture capital fund entities to provide follow-on financing to @Ventures III Fund portfolio companies. These expansion funds have a structure that is substantially identical to the @Ventures III Fund, and CMGI’s interests in such funds are comparable to its interests in the @Ventures III Fund.

CMGI owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to a percentage (ranging from approximately 80% to approximately 92.5%) of the net profits realized by CMGI@Ventures IV on each of its investments.

An aggregate of approximately $8.2 million was invested by CMGI’s venture capital affiliates during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002.

Sales and Marketing

Each CMGI operating company maintains its own separate sales and marketing staff, enabling the sales personnel to develop strong customer relationships and expertise in their respective areas. Each company has established its own direct sales force experienced in each subsidiary’s business to address the new and evolving requirements of its business arena. CMGI and its operating companies believe that an experienced sales staff is critical to initiating and maintaining customer relationships.

The Company’s subsidiaries attend numerous trade shows in the Internet and high technology markets, while further supplementing marketing efforts with space advertising and product and services listings in appropriate directories. In addition, user group meetings are sponsored for customers, where new products and services are highlighted. CMGI also markets through public relations, its Web site and CMGI-sponsored events. In addition, in certain instances, CMGI and its subsidiaries have complemented these activities by retaining advertising and public relations agencies.

Competition

The market for Internet-related products and services is rapidly evolving, highly competitive and characterized by few significant barriers to entry. Although the Company believes that the diverse segments of the Internet market will provide opportunities for more than one provider of products and services similar to those of the Company, it is possible that a single provider may dominate one or more market segments. The Company believes the principal competitive factors in the markets for Internet-related products and services include name recognition, performance, cost, ease of use, variety of value-added services, functionality and features, and quality of support. Competitors include a wide variety of companies and organizations, including Internet software, content, service and technology companies, telecommunication companies, equipment/technology suppliers and traditional retailers.

The market for supply chain management services and solutions is very competitive. The Company expects the intensity of competition to continue to increase. A failure to maintain and enhance the Company’s competitive position will limit its ability to maintain and increase market share, which would result in serious

9

harm to the Company’s business. Increased competition may also result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. The Company competes in the supply chain management market on the basis of quality, performance, service levels, global capabilities, technology, operational efficiency and price.

Some of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial, infrastructure, personnel and other resources than the Company. Furthermore, some of the Company’s competitors have well established, large and experienced marketing and sales capabilities and greater name recognition, including well established relationships with the Company’s current and potential clients. As a result, the Company’s competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in client requirements. They may also develop and promote their services more effectively than the Company. Also, the Company may lose potential clients to competitors for various reasons, including the ability or willingness of its competitors to offer lower prices and other incentives that the Company cannot match. There can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not develop products and services that are superior to those of the Company or that achieve greater market acceptance than the Company’s offerings.

Research and Development

The Company develops and markets a variety of products and services, the markets for which are often characterized by rapid technological development. The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part on its ability to continue to enhance its existing products and services and to develop other products and services which complement existing ones or extend into new markets. In order to respond to rapidly changing competitive and technological conditions, the Company expects to continue to incur significant research and development expenses during the initial development phase of new products and services as well as on an on-going basis.

During fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company expended approximately $53.7 million, $144.9 million and $148.7 million, respectively, or approximately 8%, 12% and 17%, respectively, of net revenue, on research and development. Information regarding in-process research and development expenses in connection with acquisitions and investments is set forth in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 below.

Other

The Company relies upon a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to protect its intellectual property. The Company owns, or holds licenses to use, numerous patents. New patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property are from time to time developed or obtained through the Company’s research and development and acquisition activities. None of the Company’s segments is substantially dependent on any single or group of related patents, trademarks, copyrights or licenses.

At July 31, 2002, the Company employed a total of 2,414 persons on a full-time basis. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Certain segment information, including revenue and profit information, is set forth in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 below and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 below, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Significant customers information is set forth under the heading “Diversification of Risk” in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 below and is incorporated herein by reference.

For each of the last three fiscal years, the Company’s revenues from external customers were primarily attributed to the Company’s North American operations, and substantially all of the Company’s assets were located in the United States. Approximately 10% of the total revenues of the Enterprise Software and Services segment were generated outside the United States during fiscal year 2002.

10

Because of the diversity of the Company’s products and services, as well as the wide geographic dispersion of its facilities, the Company uses numerous sources for the wide variety of raw materials needed for its operations. The Company has not been adversely affected by inability to obtain raw materials.

ITEM 2.—PROPERTIES

The location and general character of the Company’s principal properties by industry segment as of October 15, 2002 are as follows:

eBusiness and Fulfillment Segment

In its eBusiness and Fulfillment segment, the Company leases approximately 1.3 million square feet of office, storage, warehouse, production and assembly, sales and marketing, and operations space, principally in Massachusetts, Tennessee, California, Colorado, Illinois, Florida, The Netherlands, Ireland, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Mexico under leases expiring through fiscal year 2011.

Approximately 56,000 square feet is sublet to third parties.

Other

In addition, the Company leases approximately 327,000 square feet principally in Massachusetts and California under leases expiring through fiscal year 2011.

ITEM 3.—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In December 1999, Neil Braun, a former officer of iCAST Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“iCAST”), filed a complaint in United States District Court, Southern District of New York naming the Company, iCAST and David S. Wetherell as defendants. In the complaint, Mr. Braun alleged breach of contract regarding his termination from iCAST and claimed that he was entitled to acceleration of options to purchase CMGI common stock and iCAST common stock, upon his termination, under contract and promissory estoppel principles. Mr. Braun also claimed that, under quantum meruit principles, he was entitled to lost compensation. Mr. Braun sought damages of approximately $50 million and requested specific performance of the acceleration and exercise of options. In August 2001, the Court (i) granted summary judgment dismissing Mr. Wetherell as a defendant and (ii) granted summary judgment, disposing of Mr. Braun’s contract claim. In February 2002, the Court granted summary judgment disposing of Mr. Braun’s promissory estoppel claim. Trial on the quantum meruit claim was held in March 2002 and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Braun and against the Company in the amount of $113,482.24. As to iCAST, the jury found that Mr. Braun had not proven his claim. The Company filed a motion for directed verdict, which motion sought to set aside the jury verdict against the Company. Such motion was denied. In May 2002, Mr. Braun appealed the Court’s dismissal of his contract and promissory estoppel claims against iCAST and the Company. Full briefing on the appeal is not yet complete and no argument date has yet been set.

In August 2001, Jeffrey Black, a former employee of AltaVista, filed a complaint in Superior Court of the State of California (Santa Clara County) in his individual capacity as well as in his capacity as a trustee of two

11

family trusts against the Company and AltaVista alleging certain claims arising out of the termination of Mr. Black’s employment with AltaVista. As set forth in the complaint, Mr. Black is seeking monetary damages in excess of $70 million. The Company and AltaVista each believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. In March 2002, the court ordered the entire case to binding arbitration in California. In June 2002, Mr. Black petitioned the California Court of Appeal for a writ prohibiting enforcement of the order compelling arbitration of his cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. In July 2002, the Court of Appeal denied Mr. Black’s petition. In August 2002, Mr. Black submitted the matter before the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator was appointed on October 7, 2002. A date for the arbitration has not yet been set.

On January 28, 2002, Mark Nutritionals, Inc. (“MNI”) filed suit against AltaVista in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division. The claims against AltaVista include unfair competition and trademark infringement and dilution, under both federal law and the laws of the State of Texas. MNI is seeking compensatory damages in the amount of $10,000,000 and punitive damages. AltaVista believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. AltaVista filed its answer on March 1, 2002, denying the allegations. AltaVista is entitled to indemnification by a third party with respect to this matter.

On April 16, 2002, NCR Corporation filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against uBid. The complaint alleges that uBid has infringed four patents held by NCR and seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. uBid believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. On May 28, 2002, uBid filed its answer to the complaint, denying the allegations.

On February 26, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell, George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties by the Company and the individual defendants, and violations of Delaware law. The complaint requests, among other things, that the court (i) enjoin Engage from effecting a proposed reverse stock split, (ii) enjoin the issuance of shares of Engage common stock to the Company upon conversion of promissory notes previously issued by Engage to the Company, (iii) award rescissory relief if the reverse stock split and stock issuances are consummated, and (iv) award the plaintiff compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses. On February 28, 2002, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied a request by the plaintiffs for the scheduling of a preliminary injunction hearing, and denied a request to allow expedited discovery in the lawsuit. In May 2002, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In addition to the requests stated in the original complaint, the amended complaint requests that the court (i) enjoin a proposed merger by and among the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Engage (the “Merger”), and (ii) declare the Merger not to be entirely fair to the plaintiffs. On August 2, 2002, this matter was consolidated with the related matters set forth in the following two paragraphs. In light of the September 9, 2002 transaction in which the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage, on October 18, 2002, all parties submitted to the Court a stipulated order agreeing to dismiss, with prejudice as to the named plaintiffs only, this matter as moot. The stipulated order further provides that the Court shall retain jurisdiction over the matter to consider any application for attorney’s fees and expenses submitted by plaintiffs or their counsel.

Wetherell, George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint requests, among other things, that the Court (i) enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, the Merger, (ii) rescind the Merger (in the event it is consummated) or grant the plaintiffs rescissory damages, (iii) direct that the defendants account to plaintiffs for all damages caused to the plaintiffs and any special benefits obtained as a result of alleged unlawful conduct, and (iv) award the plaintiffs the costs and disbursements (including attorneys’ fees) relating to this action. On August 2, 2002, this matter was consolidated with the related matters set forth in the following and preceding paragraphs.

ITEM 7.—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical information provided herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in “Factors That May Affect Future Results,” and elsewhere in this report, and the risks discussed in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis, judgment, belief or expectation only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.

Basis of Presentation

The Company previously reported five operating segments: (i) Interactive Marketing, (ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment, (iii) Search and Portals, (iv) Infrastructure and Enabling Technologies, and (v) Internet Professional Services. As a result of the cessation of operations, sale or other disposition of several subsidiaries and restructuring efforts at several of the remaining subsidiaries, the Company realigned its operating segments in fiscal 2002 to include three operating segments: (i) Enterprise Software and Services which consists of Engage, Inc. (Engage), Yesmail, Inc. (Yesmail), AltaVista Company (AltaVista), ProvisionSoft, Inc. (ProvisionSoft, formerly CMGion), Equilibrium Technologies, Inc. (Equilibrium) and Tallan, Inc. (Tallan), (ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment (which consists of SalesLink Corporation (SalesLink), uBid, Inc. (uBid), SL Supply Chain Services International Corp. (SL Supply Chain) and the historical results of Signatures SNI, Inc., (Signatures) until the sale of the Company’s majority interest in February 2001), (iii) Managed Application Services (which consists of NaviSite, Inc. (NaviSite) and the historical results of NaviPath, Inc. (NaviPath), ExchangePath LLC (ExchangePath) and 1stUp.com Corporation (1stUp) until the cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and Activate.Net Corporation (Activate), until its sale in September 2001). The Other segment represents certain corporate marketing and administrative expenses and the Company’s venture capital arm, which invests in companies involved in various aspects of the Internet.

On September 11, 2002, the Company sold all its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite. As a result, for all periods presented, NaviSite, which was previously included within the Managed Application Services segment, has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, as NaviSite’s product offering represents both a major line of business and a distinct class of customer. At the time of the sale, NaviSite comprised more than 90% of both the total assets and operating losses of the Managed Application Services segment. Accordingly, NaviSite’s net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) have been segregated from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and its operating results have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, and related notes to the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating its segment presentation and disclosures as a result of the recent dispositions of NaviSite, Engage, and Equilibrium.

In addition to its two current operating segments in fiscal year 2002, the Company continues to report a Portals (formerly Search and Portals) segment that consists of the operations of MyWay and iCAST, as these entities do not meet the aggregation criteria under SFAS No. 131 with respect to the Company’s current reporting segments. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2001, management announced its decision to cease funding the operations of iCAST, and in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, management announced its decision to cease funding the operations of MyWay. Accordingly, the historical results of these companies will continue to be reported in the Portals segment, as will any residual results from operations that exist through the cessation of operations. Prior to the realignment of the business and the reporting segments, the Portals segment also included the results of AltaVista. For comparative purposes, the historical results of AltaVista for all periods presented have been reclassified to the Enterprise Software and Services segment. Also, the Company will continue to report a Managed Application Services segment which includes the historical results of NaviPath, ExchangePath

16

and 1stUp until the cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and Activate, until its sale in September 2001.

Certain amounts for prior periods in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and in the discussion below, have been reclassified to conform with current period presentations.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, segment results reported by CMGI exclude the effect of transactions between CMGI’s subsidiaries.

Overview

CMGI, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CMGI” or the “Company”) is an operating and development company comprised of established and emerging companies, including both CMGI operating businesses and investments. The Company’s subsidiaries have been classified into two operating segments in fiscal year 2002: (i) eBusiness and Fulfillment, and (ii) Enterprise Software and Services. CMGI’s affiliated venture capital arm is comprised of several venture capital funds that focus on investing in companies involved in various aspects of the Internet and Internet technology. CMGI’s business strategy over the years has led to the development, acquisition and operation of a number of majority-owned subsidiaries focused on Internet technologies and supply chain management services, as well as the strategic investment in other Internet companies that have demonstrated synergies with CMGI’s core businesses. The Company’s strategy also envisions and promotes opportunities for synergistic business relationships among its subsidiaries, investments and affiliates.

eBusiness and Fulfillment

SalesLink provides supply chain management, product and literature fulfillment services and third-party eFulfillment solutions for its clients’ marketing, manufacturing and distribution programs. SL Supply Chain provides a comprehensive suite of traditional and e-commerce supply chain management services including procurement, inventory management, assembly, fulfillment and distribution services. uBid is an online marketplace consisting of business-to-business, business-to-consumer, and consumer-to-consumer auctions.

Enterprise Software and Services

Engage offers software products and services that enable marketers and advertisers to streamline and improve the management and delivery of marketing programs and materials. Yesmail provides comprehensive permission-based email marketing technologies and services. AltaVista is a global provider of search services and software. Tallan offers software development, enterprise infrastructure, creative design and strategic technology direction for Global 2000 and brand name online firms. ProvisionSoft is a provider of proactive infrastructure resource management software. Equilibrium provides and develops automated imaging solutions.

On September 9, 2002, the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage.

On September 11, 2002, the Company sold all of its equity and debt interests in NaviSite.

On October 17, 2002, the Company sold all of its equity ownership interests in Equilibrium.

The Company also continues to report the segment results of both the Portals and Managed Application Services segments (see Basis of Presentation). The reported results of these segments include all historical results through the cessation of operations.

17

In addition, the Company maintains interests in several venture capital funds: CMG@Ventures I, CMG@Ventures II, CMG@Ventures III, CMG@Ventures Expansion and CMGI@Ventures IV. CMGI’s venture capital funds focus on investing in companies involved in various aspects of the Internet and Internet technology.

The decrease in net revenue in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 was largely the result of decreased net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment and the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment, and to a lesser extent the effects of the sale or cessation of operations of several companies in fiscal 2001 and 2002. The decrease in net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily due to decreases at AltaVista, Engage and Tallan. The decrease in net revenue at AltaVista was due primarily to continued softness in the on-line advertising market and the impact of transitioning AltaVista’s business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. The decrease in net revenue at Engage was primarily due to the softness in the on-line advertising market, which led to the decision by Engage to exit its media business during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. Engage also experienced declines in software license and professional services revenues during fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior year. The decrease in net revenue at Tallan was due primarily to continued softness in demand for customized technology solutions, which contributed to reductions in both average billing rates and billable hours as compared to the prior year. The decrease in net revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily due to decreased net revenue at uBid and the Company’s sale of a majority of its interest in Signatures in February 2001. Net revenue at uBid decreased primarily as a result of changes in its sales strategy, which included, among other things, the elimination of certain product categories, reductions in the volume of products made available for sale on uBid’s website and an increase in drop shipment sales as a percent of total sales in fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior year. Drop shipment sales result in uBid recording its net fee on the transaction as revenue as opposed to direct shipment sales of uBid’s inventory, which result in uBid recording the gross merchandise sale as revenue. In addition, uBid experienced a shift in the mix of its bidding volume from its business to consumer auctions, under which uBid records gross revenue, to its consumer to consumer auctions, under which uBid records a only a percentage of the transaction as revenue. Net revenue at SalesLink decreased in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 due to volume decreases in supply chain management and literature distribution services; however, these net revenue declines were partially offset by the net revenue contribution provided by CMGI’s acquisition of SL Supply Chain during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. The decrease in net revenue within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily due to the cessation of operations of NaviPath and 1stUp, and the sale of Activate. The decrease in net revenue within the Portals segment was primarily due to the cessation of operations of MyWay during fiscal year 2002.

COST OF REVENUE:

Total	$	608,028	86	%	$	1,038,894	89	%	$	(430,866	)	(42	)%

Cost of revenue consisted primarily of expenses related to the cost of products purchased for sale or distribution. Additionally, cost of revenue included expenses related to the content, connectivity and production associated with delivering the Company’s products and services. The Company’s cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue decreased to approximately 86% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 89% in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the cessation of operations of NaviPath, 1stUp, MyWay, iCAST, and ExchangePath during fiscal 2001 and 2002. Additionally, both Engage and AltaVista made certain changes in their business strategies that involved, among other things, changes to their product and service offerings and reductions in the underlying infrastructure costs associated with delivering those products and services. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment decreased to approximately 54% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 61% in the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower cost of revenue at Engage, AltaVista, and ProvisionSoft. The decrease in cost of revenue at Engage was primarily the result of Engage’s decision to cease operations of its lower margin media business and to focus on its higher margin software business. The decrease in cost of revenue at AltaVista was primarily due to reductions in infrastructure and ad serving costs related to the delivery of AltaVista’s on-line advertising based products and services, including approximately $15.3 million in cost savings versus the prior year as a result of AltaVista’s agreement with Compaq Financial Services (now Hewlett-Packard Financial Services, HPFS) to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased, as part of AltaVista’s shift in its business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment increased to approximately 94% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 89% in the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of higher cost of revenue at both uBid and SalesLink. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue at uBid was primarily the result of declines in product margin for certain categories of products sold by uBid on its website. As a result, uBid has made certain changes in its sales strategy, which involved, among other things, the elimination of certain product categories and reductions in the volume of certain products made available for sale on its website. Additionally, during fiscal year 2002, uBid transitioned its business to a new order management system and a new warehouse facility and encountered certain technical difficulties in connection with the systems conversion that resulted in higher costs to the company. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue for SalesLink increased largely as a result of lower sales levels and reduced pricing of SalesLink’s services within its supply chain management and literature distribution businesses, respectively, increased depreciation expense related to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and increased costs associated with the transition to its new distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Managed Application Services segment decreased to approximately 240% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 288% in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the cessation of operations at NaviPath and 1stUp, and the sale of Activate. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue within the Portals segment decreased to approximately 60% in fiscal 2002 from approximately 165% in the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of the closing of operations at MyWay and iCAST.

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of personnel and related costs to design, develop, enhance, test and deploy the Company’s products and services either prior to the development efforts reaching technological feasibility or once the product had reached the maintenance phase of its life cycle. Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to the shift in business focus at AltaVista and Engage and the cessation of operations at ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce, MyWay, ExchangePath, iCAST, NaviPath, and 1stUp. The decrease in research and development expenses within the Enterprise Software and Services segment in fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior fiscal year was primarily the result of restructuring efforts at both AltaVista and Engage in connection with changes in their respective business strategies, and the cessation of operations at AdForce. The decrease in research and development expense at AltaVista was primarily the result of reductions in headcount, facilities and equipment costs as part of a significant decrease in development efforts on the AltaVista portal site in connection with the change in AltaVista’s business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. The decrease in research and development expense at Engage was the result of reductions in their research and development staff during the second half of fiscal 2001 and the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The research and development staff reductions were brought about by changes in Engage’s business strategy due to the significant decline in the media business, which led to the decision by Engage to exit its media business during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The decrease in research and development expense within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was the result of the sale of a majority interest in Signatures during fiscal year 2001. The decrease in research and development expense within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the cessation of operations at ExchangePath, NaviPath, and 1stUp, and the sale of Activate. The decrease in research and development expense within the Portals segment was primarily due to the cessation of operations of MyWay and iCAST.

Selling expenses consisted primarily of advertising and other general marketing related expenses, compensation and employee-related expenses, sales commissions, facilities costs, credit card processing fees, tradeshow expenses and travel costs. Certain fulfillment costs, including warehousing costs related to activities such as receiving goods and the picking and packing of goods for shipment within the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment, are classified as selling expenses. Selling expenses decreased during fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior fiscal year by approximately 58%. The decrease was primarily due to headcount reductions, lower sales commissions as a result of lower net revenue, significant reductions in marketing campaigns, the closing of Engage’s media business, the cessation of the operations of AdForce, ExchangePath, and 1stUp, the effect of the sale of a majority interest in Signatures and the sale of Activate. The decrease within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of reductions in selling expenses at AltaVista and Engage. The decrease in selling expense at AltaVista was due to reduced employee related expenses, third party commission costs and significant reductions in the scope of certain sales and marketing campaigns as part of the transition of AltaVista’s business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. The decrease in selling expenses at Engage included significant reductions in headcount and associated sales commissions, as well as the consolidation of office facilities as a result of the closing of its media business and reductions in travel, consulting, advertising and trade show expenses for its remaining operations. The decrease in selling expenses within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures and reduced credit card processing fees at uBid as a result of the decline in uBid’s net revenue during fiscal 2002. The decrease in selling expense within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of reductions in headcount, sales commissions and marketing programs due to the sale of Activate and the closing of operations at NaviPath, ExchangePath and 1stUp. The decrease in selling expense within the Portals segment was primarily the result of the closing of the operations of iCAST and MyWay, including a $2.4 million benefit from the finalization of estimates associated with the closure activities of iCAST and MyWay. The increase in selling expense within the Other segment during fiscal year 2002 was primarily the result of a one-time charge in the fourth quarter of approximately $20.0 million that the Company recorded as a result of changes in its sponsorship arrangement with the New England Patriots. Under the terms of the original sponsorship agreement the Company was to pay $7.6 million per year for the first ten years, with consumer price index adjustments for years eleven through fifteen, in exchange for a comprehensive collection of sponsorship and promotional rights associated with the stadium. Under the terms of an amendment to the original agreement, the Company relinquished the stadium naming rights and maintained more limited marketing rights in exchange for a series of payments of  $1.6 million per year beginning in January of 2003 and ending in July of 2015. The amendment to the original agreement reduced the Company’s future obligation by approximately $86.0 million. During fiscal 2002, significant reductions were made in corporate marketing, staff and related costs.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other employee related costs, facilities costs, bad debt expense and fees for professional services. General and administrative expenses decreased in fiscal year 2002 as compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to headcount reductions, the consolidation of office space, reduced information systems costs, the cessation of the operations of AdForce, NaviPath, MyWay, iCAST, 1stUp, and ExchangePath, and the sale of Activate. The decrease in general and administrative expenses within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of significant reductions in payroll and other employee related expenses at Engage as a result of restructuring initiatives that ultimately involved the closing of Engage’s media business. Additionally, general and administrative expenses decreased at AltaVista during fiscal year 2002 as a result of reductions in headcount related expenses due to restructuring initiatives in fiscal 2001 and 2002 and a decrease in professional fees, partially offset by a charge recorded by AltaVista related to the renegotiation of the terms of a real estate lease. General and administrative expense for fiscal year 2002 also included a net $4.8 million charge, that was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, to adjust the remaining net assets and liabilities of Adforce to their estimated net realizable value at the end of fiscal year 2002. The increase in general and administrative expenses within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment were primarily the result of increased information systems costs at uBid in connection with their new ERP system, offset largely by the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily due to the cessation of operations at NaviPath, 1stUp and ExchangePath, and the sale of Activate. The decrease in the general and administrative expenses within the Portals segment was primarily the result of closing the operations of MyWay and iCAST, including a $6.3 million benefit from the finalization of estimates associated with the closing activities of MyWay and iCAST. The decrease in the general and administrative expenses within the Other segment, which includes certain corporate administrative functions such as legal, finance and business development which are not fully allocated to CMGI’s subsidiary companies, was primarily the result of a decrease in headcount-related expenses as part of an overall effort to reduce spending across all Corporate administrative functions.

Amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation consisted primarily of goodwill amortization expense related to acquisitions made during fiscal year 2000. Included within amortization of

22

intangible assets and stock-based compensation expenses was approximately $3.0 million and $68.3 million of stock-based compensation for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The overall decrease in amortization of intangible assets was primarily the result of intangible asset impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2001. These impairment charges reduced the carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets, to be amortized over their remaining useful lives. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation within the Enterprise Software and Services segment in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 was primarily the result of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of AltaVista, Engage, Tallan, ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce, and Yesmail. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 was primarily the result of a decrease in the amortization of stock-based compensation due to the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation within the Managed Application Services segment in fiscal year 2002 as compared to fiscal year 2001 was primarily the result of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to Activate, which was sold in September 2001, and the cessation of operations at 1stUp. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation within the Portals segment primarily resulted from impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of MyWay, and to a lesser extent iCAST. The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Nos. 141 and 142, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. In accordance with the provisions of these statements, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to periodic impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Company records impairment charges as a result of management’s ongoing business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy regarding impairment. Where impairment indicators were identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the Company. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the Company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the Company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominantly utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. Management predominantly determines fair value of other long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, based on third-party valuation reports. As a result, during management’s quarterly reviews of the value and periods of amortization and depreciation of long-lived assets, it was determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived assets was not fully recoverable. During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $73.1 million and $3.4 billion, respectively. The decrease in impairment charges in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 within the Enterprise Software and Services segment are primarily the result of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain goodwill and intangible assets of AltaVista, Engage, Tallán, Yesmail, and

23

ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce. The fiscal 2002 impairment charges recorded in the Enterprise Software and Services segment primarily included the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at Engage and Tallan, and an impairment charge related to certain equipment and leasehold improvements of AltaVista. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, Engage recorded an impairment charge totaling approximately $31.2 million to write-down its remaining goodwill and intangible assets and Tallan recorded a fourth quarter impairment charge totaling approximately $23.4 million to write-down a portion of its goodwill and other intangible assets, as a result of the continued decline in operating and financial metrics. Additionally, AltaVista recorded impairment charges in fiscal 2002 totaling approximately $10.7 million related to its agreement to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased under operating and capital lease agreements with HPFS, and certain leasehold improvements that were deemed impaired as a result of AltaVista’s renegotiation of a facility lease arrangement. The decrease in impairment charges in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to Activate, which was sold in September 2001, and the cessation of operations at 1stUp and ExchangePath. The decrease in impairment charges in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 within the Portal segment results primarily from impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of MyWay, and to a lesser extent iCAST. The impairment charge recorded within the Other segment in fiscal 2002 of approximately $2.1 million was primarily due to the write-off of certain software capitalized in the development of software for internal use, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures at the Company’s headquarters. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statement. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 is effective for the Company’s fiscal 2003 financial statements. As of July 31, 2002, the Company has not yet determined what effect these tests will have on its operations and financial position. The Company operates in a volatile business environment, and as a result, could have material impairment charges in future periods.

The Company’s restructuring initiatives during fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively, involved strategic decisions to exit certain businesses and to reposition certain on-going businesses of the Company. Restructuring charges consisted primarily of contract terminations, severance charges and equipment charges incurred as a result of the cessation of operations of certain subsidiaries and actions taken at several remaining subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further reduce expenses. Severance charges include employee termination costs as a result of workforce reductions. Employees affected by the restructuring were notified both through direct personal contact and by written notification. The contract terminations primarily consisted of costs to exit facility and equipment leases and to terminate bandwidth and other vendor contracts. The asset impairment charges primarily relate to the write-off of property and equipment. The decrease in restructuring charges in fiscal 2002 as compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily the result of restructuring charges in fiscal 2001 at NaviPath, AltaVista, ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, Adforce, and Engage. The net restructuring charges incurred during fiscal 2002 in the Enterprise Software and Services segment primarily related to charges of approximately $17.9 million at AltaVista and $11.2 million at Engage. The restructuring charge recorded by AltaVista primarily related to severance costs associated with a reduction in the workforce of

24

approximately 120 employees, costs associated with the closing of its Irvine, California office location, the write-off of an information systems software package and the write-off of fixed assets as a result of AltaVista’s decision to shut-down its European data center, partially offset by an adjustment of a previously recorded restructuring charge of approximately $2.7 million for vacant space in a facility resulting from AltaVista’s decision to transition its business from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, AltaVista had recorded a restructuring charge for one year of rent related to space previously occupied by the portal division of its business. As a result of the renegotiation of its real estate lease, space that had been included in the original restructuring charge was forfeited, and Alta Vista recorded a restructuring charge for the net amount not previously recorded as a restructuring charge. Also, as part of the lease renegotiation, AltaVista transferred approximately 275,000 CMGI shares, that were held by AltaVista, to the landlord. The restructuring charge recorded by Engage was primarily due to the closing of its media operations and implementation of a restructuring plan designed to reduce its corporate overhead costs through reductions in the size of its finance and marketing staffs. The closing of the media business resulted in severance costs incurred in connection with the termination of approximately 232 employees and contract termination costs in connection with the costs to exit facility and equipment leases. The net restructuring benefit recorded during fiscal 2002 in the Managed Application Services segment primarily related to charges of approximately $4.1 million recorded by NaviPath, offset by a reversal of approximately $21.1 million of previously recorded restructuring charges at NaviPath. The restructuring charge recorded by NaviPath primarily related to severance costs and legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with the cessation of its operations. The restructuring benefit recorded by NaviPath related to the settlement by NaviPath of certain contractual purchase commitments, breakage fees and service contracts for amounts less than originally estimated. The net restructuring charge incurred in the Portals segment primarily related to charges of approximately $6.8 million at MyWay related to the write-off of property and equipment and the termination of customer and vendor contracts, partially offset by a reversal of approximately $1.4 million of previously recorded restructuring charges at MyWay. The restructuring benefit recorded by MyWay related to the favorable settlement of contractual obligations for amounts less than originally estimated. Additionally, iCast recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.8 million in fiscal 2002 related to exit cost associated with a facility lease, beyond what had been previously recorded as a restructuring charge. The net restructuring charges incurred in the Other segment of approximately $5.7 million primarily related to charges of approximately $6.2 million related to severance costs incurred in connection with the termination of approximately 70 employees at the Company’s corporate headquarters, the write-off of property and equipment and costs incurred to exit facility leases in Europe, partially offset by a restructuring benefit of approximately $0.5 million recorded by CMGI @Ventures related to the favorable negotiation of the termination of a real estate lease.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE:

There were no gains on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates during fiscal 2002. Gain on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates during fiscal 2001 primarily related to a pre-tax gain of approximately $125.9 million on the issuance of stock by Engage in its acquisitions of MediaBridge and Space Media Holdings Limited, partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $5.0 million on the issuance of stock by Engage to employees as a result stock option exercises.

Other gains (losses), net decreased $340.6 million, or 83%, to $(68.5) million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 from $(409.1) million for the same period in fiscal 2001. Other gains (losses), net for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 primarily consisted of a pre-tax loss of approximately $27.5 million on the sale of Primedia, Inc. stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $21.4 million resulting from the Company’s sale of its subsidiary Activate and a pre-tax loss of approximately $44.7 million related to impairment charges for other-than-temporary declines in the carrying value of certain investments in affiliates, offset by a pre-tax gain of approximately $53.9 million on the arrangement that hedged the Company’s investment in Yahoo! common stock which was settled during the twelve months ended July 31, 2002. Other gains (losses), net for the twelve months ended July 31, 2001 primarily consisted of a pre-tax gain of approximately $357.4 million on the sale of Lycos, Inc. common stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $135.3 million on the sale of Kana Communications,

25

Inc. common stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $89.4 million on the hedging arrangement with respect to the Company’s investment in Yahoo! common stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $64.2 million on the sale of Terra Networks stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $70.9 million on the sale of Critical Path, Inc. common stock and a pre-tax gain of approximately $19.8 million on the sale of a real estate holding by AltaVista, partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $358.9 million on the sale of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited (PCCW) stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $95.9 million on the sale of AltaVista’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Raging Bull, a pre-tax loss of approximately $310.9 million related to impairment charges taken on certain available-for-sale securities held by the Company, and by a pre-tax loss of approximately $187.5 million on the write-down of the carrying value of the Company’s restricted PCCW stock.

Interest income decreased $34.5 million to $16.8 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 from $51.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, reflecting decreased interest income associated with lower average cash and cash equivalent balances and lower interest rates in fiscal 2002.

Interest expense decreased $65.6 million to a net benefit of $19.3 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 from a net expense of $46.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, primarily due to a favorable fair market value adjustment of approximately $20.7 million related to the decrease in value of the obligation to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. In connection with the repurchase of the outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock in November 2001, the Company incurred an obligation to deliver approximately 448.3 million shares of its PCCW stock holdings to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock no later than December 2, 2002. As a result of this transaction, the Company is accounting for the 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock as a trading security and the liability related to the obligation to deliver the PCCW stock as a current note payable, both of which are carried at market value. Changes in the fair value of the PCCW stock and the note payable are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other gains (losses), net and as adjustments to interest expense, respectively. The fair market value adjustment of the note payable through July 31, 2002 resulted in a $20.7 million decrease to interest expense, which was offset by a loss of $20.7 million on the fair value adjustment of the trading security which was included in other gains (losses), net. Additionally, the interest expense decreased from the fiscal 2001 payment in full of the $376.9 million principal balance on the notes issued in connection with the acquisition of Tallan, the settlement of the underlying debt associated with the borrowing arrangement entered into in connection with a hedge of the Company’s investment in Yahoo! common stock and the retirement of the $220 million notes payable to Compaq Computer Corporation, now Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), in November of 2001.

Equity in losses of affiliates resulted from the Company’s minority ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of each affiliate’s operating losses and amortization of the Company’s net excess investment over its equity in each affiliate’s net assets is included in equity in losses of affiliates. Equity in losses of affiliates decreased $30.3 million to $15.4 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002, from $45.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, primarily reflecting a decreased number of investments accounted for under the equity method compared to the same period last year. The Company expects its affiliate companies to continue to invest in the development of their products and services, and to recognize operating losses, which will result in future charges recorded by the Company to reflect its proportionate share of such losses.

Minority interest decreased to $44.3 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 from $493.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2001, primarily as a result of reduced losses at AltaVista and Engage. Minority interest for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 primarily reflects the minority interest in the net losses of Engage and AltaVista.

INCOME TAX BENEFIT:

Income tax benefit attributable to continuing operations recorded for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 was approximately $7.4 million. Income tax benefit for the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 differs from the

26

amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35 percent to pre-tax loss primarily as a result of non-deductible goodwill amortization and impairment charges, valuation allowances recognized on deferred tax assets, and utilization of net operating loss from fiscal year 2001 due to a change in the tax law. During the twelve months ended July 31, 2002, the Company recorded net tax benefit of approximately $7.4 million, primarily attributable to the tax expense related to the recognition of a valuation allowance to continuing operations due to the reduction in expected future taxable income related to unrealized gains in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”, net of tax benefit related to a change in the tax law, allowing for a portion of the fiscal year 2002 and 2001 net operating losses to be carried back up to five years against its U.S. federal taxable income reported in earlier years. The Company received $31.8 million in refunds during the fiscal year 2002.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 12, 2002 (the measurement date), CMGI’s board of directors authorized the divestiture of the Company’s equity and debt ownership interests in its subsidiary NaviSite. In September 2002, the Company completed the sale of NaviSite to ClearBlue. In consideration thereof, the Company received, among other things, 131,579 shares of common stock of ClearBlue. At the time of the sale, NaviSite comprised more than 90% of both the total assets and operating losses of the Managed Application Services segment. As a result of the transaction, the Company expects to record a net gain of between $4.0 million and $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. The estimated gain on the sale of NaviSite includes the results of operations from the measurement date through the date of disposal. The results of operations of NaviSite from the measurement date through July 31, 2002 have been deferred and reflected as deferred loss on disposal of subsidiary on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 2002. Additionally, the historical operations of NaviSite have been reflected as loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and NaviSite’s net current assets and net long term assets (liabilities) have been reported as net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to reflect the operations of NaviSite as discontinued operations.

EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $131.3 million, net of approximately $1.8 million in state taxes, related to the extinguishment of the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable to HP. As part of an agreement between the Company and HP, HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in cash, approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI’s 49% ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions LLC, of which HP had previously owned the remaining 51%. The gain was calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the notes payable plus accrued interest thereon, less the carrying value of the consideration exchanged.

The increase in net revenue in fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 was largely a result of the full year impact of the acquisitions of uBid and Tallan in April 2000, and net revenue growth at NaviPath during fiscal year 2001. The increase in net revenue in fiscal year 2001 was partially offset by reduced net revenues at Engage and AltaVista, and the sale or closing of operations of several companies during fiscal year 2001. The decrease in net revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of decreased net revenue at Engage and AltaVista, which was partially offset by increased net revenue as a result of the full year impact of the acquisition of Tallan in April 2000. The decrease in net revenue at Engage was attributable to a decline in the on-line advertising market, which was partially offset by Engage’s acquisition of MediaBridge during fiscal year 2001. Subsequent to July 31, 2001, Engage announced it had ceased its media business, which comprised approximately 16% and 28% of the Enterprise Software and Services segment net revenue for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively, and would be focusing on interactive software and services. The decrease in net revenue at AltaVista was due to reduced net revenue from certain strategic deals renegotiated during fiscal year 2001, the softness in the on-line advertising market and certain changes in AltaVista’s business strategy from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. The increase in net revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of uBid, partially offset by the sale of a majority interest in Signatures in February 2001 and decreased net revenue at SalesLink as a result of the decline in volume within SalesLink’s e-commerce and fulfillment and literature distribution lines of business. The decrease in net revenue at SalesLink was partially offset by the growth of net revenue within its supply chain management line of business. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”, and accordingly adjusted net revenue at uBid by $27.6 million and $7.6 million in fiscal year 2001 and 2000, respectively. These adjustments reduce both net revenue and cost of revenue and have no impact on operating loss. The increase in net revenue within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of increased net revenue from NaviPath and the full year impact of the acquisition of Activate, Inc. in November 1999. The increase in net revenue for NaviPath during fiscal year 2001 primarily related to the growth in the number of users and hours due to the expansion of its network coverage across the United States and Canada. Subsequent to July 31, 2001, the Company ceased funding the operations of NaviPath, which comprised approximately 66% and 57% of the net revenue in the Managed Application Services segment in fiscal year 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in net revenue within the Portals segment was primarily attributable to an increase in net revenue at MyWay during fiscal year 2001, as a result of growth in its customer base.

Cost of revenue consisted primarily of expenses related to the cost of products purchased for sale or distribution. Additionally, cost of revenue included expenses related to the content, connectivity and production associated with delivering the Company’s products and services. The increase in cost of revenue in fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 was largely attributable to the full year impact of the acquisitions of uBid and Tallan in April 2000, and the costs associated with the expansion of network infrastructure at NaviPath. The

28

increases in cost of revenue in fiscal year 2001 was partially offset by decreases in cost of revenue as a result of the implementation of the Company’s restructuring initiatives, which included the sale or closing of operations of several companies during fiscal year 2001, and actions taken at several of the remaining subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further reduce expenses. The Company’s cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased to approximately 89% in fiscal 2001 from approximately 80% in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the full year impact of companies acquired in fiscal year 2000, the decline in net revenue from on-line advertising and the increasing costs associated with the expansion of network infrastructure. The decrease in cost of revenue within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily due to reduced cost of revenues for Engage and AltaVista, offset partially by increased cost of revenue from the full year impact of the acquisition of Tallan. The decease in Engage’s cost of revenue from the prior year was largely due to a reduction in headcount and reduced royalty expenses paid to Web publishers at Engage as a result of the restructuring initiatives implemented during fiscal year 2001, partially offset by the impact of the fiscal year 2001 acquisition of MediaBridge. The decrease in cost of revenue for AltaVista was primarily due to certain changes that AltaVista made to its business strategy in an effort to move from a portal-based business model to an Internet and enterprise search business model. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the Enterprise Software and Services segment increased to approximately 61% in fiscal year 2001 from approximately 56% in fiscal year 2000. The year over year increase is primarily a result of a decline in net revenue from on-line advertising in excess of savings generated from the Company’s cost saving initiatives. The increase in cost of revenue within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily due to the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of uBid, partially offset by the sale of a majority interest in Signatures during fiscal year 2001. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment increased to approximately 89% for fiscal year 2001 from approximately 85% for fiscal year 2000 primarily due to the full year impact of the acquisition of uBid and a change in the mix of business at SalesLink from literature distribution services and e-commerce fulfillment to supply chain management. The increase in cost of revenue within the Managed Application Services segment was primarily due to increased costs to support the growth of the customer base and network usage at NaviPath during fiscal year 2001 and the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Activate. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues within the Managed Application Services segment decreased to approximately 288% in fiscal year 2001 from 319% in fiscal year 2000 primarily due to improved gross margins at NaviPath as a result of net revenue increases in excess of the incremental costs associated with generating net revenues. The decrease in cost of revenue within the Portals segment was primarily due to the closing of operations at iCAST in January 2001 and changes to MyWay’s business strategy. The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased within the Portals segment to approximately 165% for fiscal year 2001 from approximately 222% for fiscal year 2000, primarily due to the closing of operations at iCAST and changes to MyWay’s business strategy that involved a transition to a common technology platform, which reduced MyWay’s cost of revenue.

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of personnel and related costs to design, develop, enhance, test and deploy the Company’s products and services either prior to the development effort reaching technological feasibility or once the product had reached the maintenance phase of its life cycle. The increase in research and development expenses in fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the acquisitions of AdKnowledge, Inc. (AdKnowledge), Flycast Communications Corporation (Flycast) and Yesmail during fiscal year 2000 and increased development efforts at Engage related to the further development of its software business. The increase in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the acquisition of Activate during fiscal year 2000, partially offset by a decrease in development efforts at NaviPath. The decrease in research and development expenses within the Portals segment was primarily the result of the closing of operations at iCAST in January 2001, and the closing of certain operations at MyWay in connection with their transition to a common technology platform.

Selling expenses consisted primarily of advertising and other general marketing related expenses, compensation and employee-related expenses, sales commissions, facilities costs, tradeshow expenses and travel costs. Certain costs related to fulfillment, including distribution and customer service center expenses for activities such as receiving goods and picking of goods for shipment within the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment are classified as selling expenses. Selling expenses decreased during fiscal year 2001 primarily due to a concerted effort by management to reduce sales and marketing expenses throughout the Company as part of its restructuring initiatives. The decrease in selling expenses within the Enterprise Software

30

and Services segment was primarily the result of a decrease in headcount and certain sales and marketing campaigns at AltaVista and Engage in connection with restructuring initiatives. The increase in selling expenses within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of uBid, partially offset by the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures. The increase in selling expenses in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Activate, partially offset by a decrease in selling expenses at NaviPath as a result of a reduction in headcount during fiscal year 2001. The decrease in selling expenses in the Portals segment was primarily the result of the closing of operations of iCAST and the closing of certain operations at MyWay in connection with their transition to a common technology platform. The increase in selling expenses within the Other segment was primarily the result of costs incurred to develop and produce certain corporate marketing and advertising programs during fiscal year 2001.

General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of compensation, facilities costs, bad debt and fees for professional services. The increase in general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2001 compared to fiscal year 2000 was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisitions, increased bad debt expense related to the downturn in the Internet industry and the building of infrastructure at the corporate level and at several of the Company’s subsidiaries, partially offset by the sale and closing of certain companies and restructuring initiatives taken at several of the remaining subsidiaries. The increase in general and administrative expenses within the Enterprise Software and Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisitions of AdKnowledge, Flycast, Tallan and Yesmail, the fiscal 2001 acquisition of MediaBridge and increased bad debt expense recorded by Engage, primarily related to its media business, during fiscal year 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the acquisition of uBid, partially offset by the sale of a majority interest in Signatures in fiscal year 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses within in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Activate, partially offset by the closing of operations at ExchangePath and 1stUp. The decrease in general and administrative expenses within the Portals segment was primarily the result of the closing of operations of iCAST and the closing of certain operations at MyWay in connection with their transition to a common technology platform. The increase in general and administrative expenses within the Other segment, which includes certain administrative functions such as legal, finance and business development which are not fully allocated to CMGI’s subsidiary companies, was primarily the result of the growth of CMGI’s corporate infrastructure, including higher personnel costs due to increased headcount, increased information technology costs associated with an upgrade of the Company’s information systems and increased professional fees and facilities costs.

Amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation consisted primarily of goodwill amortization expense related to acquisitions made during fiscal year 2000, and, to a lesser degree, acquisitions made in fiscal 2001. The intangible assets recorded as a result of these acquisitions are primarily being amortized over periods ranging from two to five years. Included within amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expenses was approximately $68.3 million and $84.1 million of stock-based compensation for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in amortization expense in the Enterprise Software and Services segment is primarily the result of a full year of amortization in fiscal year 2001 related to the fiscal year 2000 acquisitions of AdKnowledge, Flycast, Tallan and Yesmail and the fiscal year 2001 acquisition of MediaBridge. This increase was partially offset by the effect of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of AltaVista, Engage, Tallan and Yesmail, including $587.6 million recorded in the fourth quarter.

The increase in amortization expense in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment primarily reflects a full year of amortization in fiscal year 2001 related to the acquisition of uBid. The decrease in amortization expense in the Managed Application Services segment was primarily the result of the closing of operations at 1stUp and ExchangePath during fiscal year 2001, partially offset by a full year of amortization in fiscal year 2001 related to the Activate acquisition in fiscal year 2000. The increase in amortization expense in the Portals segment primarily reflects a full year of amortization in fiscal year 2001 related to the fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Zip2 Corporation (which was subsequently acquired by MyWay). The increase in amortization expense was partially offset by the effect of impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2001 related to certain intangible assets of MyWay, including $96.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter.

The Company records impairment charges as a result of management’s ongoing business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy regarding impairment of long-lived assets. Where impairment indicators were identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value of

32

goodwill and certain other intangible assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the company. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominately utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. As a result, during management’s ongoing review of the value and periods of amortization and depreciation of long-lived assets, it was determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived assets was not fully recoverable. The impairment charges recorded in the Enterprise Software and Services segment during fiscal year 2001 included the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at AltaVista of approximately $986.2 million, of which approximately $123.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, the write-down of goodwill and intangible assets at Engage related to its media and software businesses of approximately $925.3 million, of which approximately $384.4 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $335.9 million as a result of the closing of operations at ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce, the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at Tallan of approximately $586.3 million, of which $75.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, and the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at Yesmail of approximately $355.4 million, of which approximately $4.2 million was recorded in the fourth quarter. The impairment charges recorded in the Managed Application Services segment during fiscal year 2001 primarily included the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at Activate of approximately $30.4 million and the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $22.7 million as a result of the closing of operations at 1stUp. The impairment charges recorded in the Portals segment primarily included the write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets at MyWay of approximately $104.8 million, of which approximately $96.0 million was recorded in the fourth quarter. The other intangible assets that were determined to be impaired within each segment primarily related to a significant reduction in the acquired customer base and turnover of workforce, which was in place at the time of the acquisitions. The impairment factors evaluated by management may change in subsequent periods, given that the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in material impairment charges in future periods.

The Company’s restructuring initiatives during fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, involved strategic decisions to exit certain businesses and to reposition certain on-going businesses of the Company. Restructuring charges consisted primarily of contract terminations, severance charges and equipment charges incurred as a result of the cessation of operations of certain subsidiaries and actions taken at several remaining subsidiaries to increase operational efficiencies, improve margins and further reduce expenses. Severance charges include employee termination costs as a result of a reduction in workforce of approximately 1,700 positions. Employees affected by the restructuring were notified both through direct personal contact and by written notification. The contract terminations primarily consisted of costs to exit facility and equipment leases and to terminate bandwidth and other vendor contracts. The asset impairment charges primarily relate to the write-off of property and equipment. The restructuring charges incurred in the Enterprise Software and Services segment during fiscal year 2001 primarily related to restructuring initiatives at AltaVista, Engage and ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary,

33

AdForce. The AltaVista restructuring included workforce reductions of approximately 410 positions, the termination of a contract with a significant customer and the termination of other contracts by AltaVista in connection with the change in its business strategy. The Engage restructuring included workforce reductions of approximately 550 positions, the closing of several office locations, future lease commitments of Engage for associated servers, desktop computers and other telecommunications equipment and the write-off of fixed assets. The AdForce restructuring related to severance costs, the termination of several contracts and other exit costs related to the cessation of operations at AdForce. The restructuring charges incurred in the Managed Application Services segment during fiscal year 2001 primarily related to severance costs, the termination of several contracts, the write-off of fixed assets and other exit costs at NaviPath, 1stUp and ExchangePath in connection with the closing of their respective operations. The restructuring charges incurred in the Portals segment during fiscal year 2001 primarily consisted of costs associated with the closing of certain operations at MyWay in connection with their transition to a common technology platform, and the closing of operations at iCAST. The restructuring charges in the Other segment primarily related to severance costs and future lease commitments of the Company’s European corporate operations and CMGI@Ventures.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE:

Gain on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates increased $41.4 million, or 52%, to $121.8 million for fiscal year 2001 from $80.4 million for fiscal year 2000. Gain on the issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates for fiscal year 2001 primarily relates to a pre-tax gain of approximately $125.9 million on the issuance of stock by Engage in its acquisitions of MediaBridge and Space Media Holdings Limited (Space) partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $5.0 million on the issuance of stock by Engage to employees as a result of stock option exercises. Gain on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates for fiscal year 2000 primarily reflects the pre-tax gain of $51.9 million on the issuance of common stock by NaviSite in connection with its initial public offering.

Other gains (losses), net decreased $934.4 million, or 178%, to ($409.1) million for fiscal year 2001 from $525.3 million for fiscal year 2000. Other gains (losses), net for fiscal year 2001 primarily consisted of a pre-tax loss of approximately $358.9 million on the sale of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited (PCCW) stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $310.9 million related to the impairment charges taken on certain available-for-sale securities held by the Company, a pre-tax loss of approximately $187.5 million on the write-down of the carrying value of the Company’s restricted PCCW stock, a pre-tax loss of approximately $148.9 related to the write-down of the carrying value of certain CMGI @Ventures investments held by the Company, a pre-tax loss of approximately $95.9 million on the sale of AltaVista’s subsidiary, Raging Bull, Inc. (Raging Bull), and a pre-tax loss of approximately $18.5 million on the sale of the Company’s majority interest in Signatures, partially offset by a pre-tax gain of approximately $357.4 million on the sale of Lycos, Inc. (Lycos) stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $135.3 million on the sale of Kana Communications, Inc. (Kana) stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $89.4 million on the hedging arrangement with respect to the Company’s investment in Yahoo!, Inc. (Yahoo!) stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $64.2 million on the sale of Terra Networks, S.A. (Terra Networks) stock, a pre-tax gain of approximately $70.9 million on the sale of Critical Path, Inc. (Critical Path) stock and a pre-tax gain of approximately $19.8 million on the sale of a real estate holding by AltaVista. Other gains (losses), net for fiscal year 2000 primarily consisted of a pre-tax gain of approximately $499.5 million on the sale of Yahoo! stock and a pre-tax gain of approximately $53.6 million on the acquisition of Half.com, Inc. (Half.com) by eBay, Inc. (eBay), partially offset by a pre-tax loss of approximately $35.0 million on the write-down of the carrying value of an available-for-sale security.

Interest income increased $11.8 million to $51.3 million for fiscal year 2001 from $39.5 million for fiscal year 2000, reflecting increased interest income associated with higher cash and cash equivalent balances, partially offset by lower interest rates. Interest expense decreased $9.4 million to $46.3 million for fiscal year 2001 from $55.7 million for fiscal year 2000, primarily due to the payment in full of the principal on the notes

34

issued in connection with the acquisition of Tallan in fiscal year 2001 and due to the settlement of a portion of the underlying debt associated with the borrowing arrangement entered into in connection with a hedge of the Company’s investment in Yahoo! stock.

Equity in losses of affiliates resulted from the Company’s minority ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of each affiliate’s operating losses and amortization of the Company’s net excess investment over its equity in each affiliate’s net assets is included in equity in losses of affiliates. Equity in losses of affiliates decreased $6.2 million to $45.7 million for fiscal year 2001, from $51.9 million for fiscal year 2000, primarily reflecting the effect of the sale of the Company’s investment in Half.com to eBay and the effect of the impairment charges taken during fiscal year 2000, partially offset by an increase due to the Company’s investment in B2E Solutions, LLC. The Company expects its affiliate companies to continue to invest in the development of their products and services, and to recognize operating losses, which will result in future charges recorded by the Company to reflect its proportionate share of such losses.

Minority interest, net increased to $493.8 million for fiscal year 2001 from $149.8 million for fiscal year 2000, primarily reflecting minority interest in net losses of six subsidiaries during fiscal year 2001, including AltaVista, Engage, MyWay, ProvisionSoft, NaviPath and Tallan. The increase is primarily related to an increase in the net losses reported by Engage and AltaVista due to substantial amortization, impairment and restructuring charges recorded during fiscal year 2001.

INCOME TAX BENEFIT:

Income tax benefit recorded for fiscal year 2001 was approximately $184.4 million and the Company’s effective tax rates for fiscal 2001 and 2000 were 3% and 8%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35 percent to pre-tax loss primarily as a result of non-deductible goodwill amortization and impairment charges, state taxes and valuation allowances recognized on deferred tax assets. During the year ended July 31, 2001, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets not expected to be utilized as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in future years. Prior to fiscal 2001, the Company had recorded valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets only with respect to majority owned subsidiaries not included in the Company’s federal consolidated tax return group. The increase in the valuation allowance resulted in additional tax expense of approximately $89.0 million for the year ended July 31, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at July 31, 2002 decreased to approximately $203.9 million compared to $581.3 million at July 31, 2001. The net decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to a $431.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a $99.8 million decrease in available-for-sale securities and a $39.1 million decrease in accounts receivable. The Company’s principal sources of capital during the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 were from the sales of approximately 7.1 million shares of Primedia, Inc. common stock for proceeds of approximately $15.9 million, the net maturities of other available-for-sale securities investments for proceeds of approximately $4.9 million, and from federal income tax refunds of approximately $31.8 million. The Company’s principal uses of capital during the twelve months ended July 31, 2002 were $259.4 million for funding operations, $100.3 million for the retirement of the Series C Preferred Stock, $75.0 million for the retirement of notes payable to HP and $31.8 million for purchases of property and equipment.

On August 1, 2001, the Company settled the final tranche of the borrowing arrangement that hedged the Company’s investment in the common stock of Yahoo! through the delivery of 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock.

On August 18, 2001, the Company issued approximately 5.4 million shares of its common stock to HP as a semi-annual interest payment of approximately $11.5 million related to notes payable issued to HP in the acquisition of AltaVista.

35

In September 2001, the Company received a federal income tax refund of approximately $14.0 million as a result of overpayment of the prior year’s estimated tax payments.

On October 29, 2001, the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, AltaVista and NaviSite entered into agreements with HP, a significant stockholder of CMGI, and HP’s wholly owned subsidiary, HPFS. Under certain terms of these agreements NaviSite purchased and recorded equipment from HPFS effective August 1, 2001, previously leased by NaviSite under operating lease agreements expiring through 2003, in exchange for a note payable of approximately $35.0 million. The $35.0 million due to HPFS was executed in the form of a convertible note payable to HPFS in the total amount of $55.0 million on November 8, 2001, as described below. As of July 31, 2002, the $55.0 million note due to HPFS, net of amounts allocated to beneficial conversion features, has been classified a component of net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, under the terms of these agreements, AltaVista agreed to purchase certain equipment, which it had previously leased from HPFS under operating and capital lease agreements, in exchange for a cash payment of $20.0 million. In November 2001, AltaVista completed and recorded the purchase of this equipment.

On November 8, 2001, as part of the agreement with HPFS, NaviSite received $20.0 million in cash from HPFS in exchange for a six-year, convertible note payable. This note, which also relates to the $35.0 million equipment purchase described above, bears interest at 12% and requires payment of interest only for the first three years from the date of issuance. A portion of the interest payable to HPFS in the first two years may be paid in NaviSite common stock. Principal and interest payments are due on a straight-line basis commencing in year four until maturity on the sixth anniversary from the issuance date. The convertible note payable is secured by substantially all assets of NaviSite and cannot be prepaid. The principal balance may be converted into NaviSite common stock at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity at a conversion rate of $0.26 per share. As of July 31, 2002, NaviSite’s cash balance has been classified as a component of net current assets of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and NaviSite’s note due to HPFS, net of amounts allocated to beneficial conversion features, has been classified a component of net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a result of the Company’s sale of all of its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite to ClearBlue on September 11, 2002.

Also, on November 8, 2001, as part of this agreement, HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in cash, approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI’s 49% ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions, LLC.

In November 2001, the Company consummated the repurchase of all the outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to privately negotiated stock exchange agreements with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. In connection therewith, the Company announced the retirement of the Series C Preferred Stock effective immediately. Under this agreement, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $100.3 million in cash, approximately 34.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and an obligation to deliver, no later than December 2, 2002, approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock. In addition, due to the delayed delivery obligation with respect to the PCCW shares, the Company agreed to make cash payments to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, on the dates and in the aggregate amounts as follows: approximately $3.7 million on February 9, 2002, approximately $3.5 million on May 17, 2002, approximately $3.8 million on August 19, 2002, approximately $3.7 million on November 19, 2002 and approximately $0.5 million on December 2, 2002. The obligation to make payments ceases upon delivery of the PCCW shares and any payment due for the period during which the PCCW shares are delivered to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be reduced on a pro rata basis. The Company made the cash payments due on February 19, 2002 and May 17, 2002 as scheduled. Also, subsequent to year end the Company made the August 19, 2002 cash payment of approximately $3.8 million as scheduled.

36

In January 2002, the Company purchased approximately $15.0 million of commercial paper. These investments had original maturity dates greater than 90 days at acquisition and therefore were classified as marketable securities at the time of purchase. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the $15.0 million of commercial paper matured, and was included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at July 31, 2002.

In July 2002, the Company received a cash refund of approximately $17.8 million as a result of a change in tax law that allowed the Company to carry back a portion of its fiscal year 2001 net operating loss up to five years against taxable income reported in earlier years.

On July 11, 2002, following approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court and the administrator in The Netherlands, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary SL Supply Chain, acquired substantially all of the worldwide assets and operations of iLogistix, a provider of a comprehensive suite of traditional and e-commerce supply chain management services, for approximately $44.3 million.

Also, subsequent to year end, on September 9, 2002, the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage. Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, CMGI transferred to Engage approximately 148.4 million shares of common stock of Engage held by CMGI, representing approximately 76% of the issued and outstanding shares of Engage, and cancelled approximately $60 million of debt, including all convertible debt, owed to CMGI by Engage. In consideration of the equity transfer and debt cancellation, Engage, among other things, (i) paid to CMGI $2.5 million in cash, (ii) agreed to pay to CMGI up to an additional $6.0 million, comprised of a senior secured promissory note due in September 2006 and earnout payments commencing in fiscal year 2004, and (iii) issued to CMGI a warrant for the purchase of up to 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Engage Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.048 per share.

On October 17, 2002, the Company sold all of its equity ownership interests in Equilibrium, to a group (the “Buyer”) led by the current management of Equilibrium. Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, CMGI sold to the Buyer 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Equilibrium. In consideration thereof, CMGI received, among other things, (i) a senior secured promissory note due in October 2005 in the principal amount of $1.5 million made by the Buyer, (ii) a warrant for the purchase of 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Equilibrium Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.01 per share, and (iii) a royalty-free perpetual worldwide license to Equilibrium’s MediaRich software.

The Company believes that existing working capital and the availability of marketable securities, which could be sold or posted as collateral for cash loans, will be sufficient to fund its operations, investments and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Should additional capital be needed to fund future investment and acquisition activity, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through the selective sale of investments or minority interests in certain subsidiaries, through public or private offerings of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ stock, or through debt financing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on terms that are favorable to the Company, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

37

The Company has identified the accounting policies below as the policies most critical to its business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:

• Revenue recognition

• Accounting for impairment of long-lived assets

• Restructuring expenses

• Accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns

• Loss Contingencies

• Excess and obsolete inventory

Revenue recognition.    The Company derives its revenue from three primary sources: (i) sale of products, both merchandise and software licenses; (ii) services and support revenue, which includes software maintenance and hosting services; and (iii) the delivery of advertising impressions and e-mail based direct marketing. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. For most of its transactions, the Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101Revenue Recognition. However, revenue from sales of software is recognized in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 98-9,Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements.

Revenue from sales of merchandise is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise and verification of the customer’s credit card authorization or receipt of cash. All shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and related costs as costs of revenue when incurred, as long as the Company takes title to the products or assumes the risks and rewards of ownership.

Revenue from software product licenses, database services and website traffic audit reports are generally recognized when (i) a signed non-cancelable software license exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the Company’s fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is probable.

Revenue from software maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of each maintenance agreement, typically twelve months. Revenue from professional services is recognized as the services are performed, collection is probable and such revenues are contractually nonrefundable. Revenue from multiple element arrangements involving products, services and support elements is recognized in accordance with SOP 98-9,Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements, when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the delivered element. As required by SOP 98-9, under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements are deferred and subsequently recognized. The Company establishes sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for services and support elements based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. Accordingly, software license revenue for products developed is recognized under the residual method in arrangements in which the software is sold with one or both of the other elements. Revenue from license agreements that require significant customizations and modifications to the software product is deferred and recognized using the percentage of completion method. For license arrangements involving customizations for which the amount of customization effort cannot be reasonably estimated or when license arrangements provide for customer acceptance, we recognize revenue under the completed contract method of accounting.

The Company’s advertising revenue is derived primarily from the delivery of advertising impressions through its own or third-party Web sites. Revenue is recognized in the period that the advertising impressions are

38

delivered, provided the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. Revenue from e-mail based direct marketing is recognized upon delivery of the e-mail to the target audience that represents substantial completion of the contract obligation.

Substantially all media and media management revenue is recognized on a gross basis and amounts paid to websites where advertisements appear are recorded as cost of revenue. Revenue is generally recognized gross of the related website expense in arrangements in which the Company acts as the principal in the transaction. Revenue is recognized net of the related Web site expense in arrangements in which the Company primarily acts as a sales agent.

Revenue from server hosting, systems administration, application rentals and Web site management services is generally billed and recognized over the term of the contract based on actual usage. Amounts billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are classified as deferred revenue.

Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.    The Company’s management performs on-going business reviews and, based on quantitative and qualitative measures, assesses the need to record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when impairment indicators are present. Where impairment indicators are identified, management determines the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the company being evaluated. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominately utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. The impairment policy is consistently applied in evaluating impairment for each of the Company’s wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and investments. It is reasonably possible that the impairment factors evaluated by management will change in subsequent periods, given that the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in material impairment charges in future periods.

Restructuring Expenses.    The Company assesses the need to record restructuring charges in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (EITF 94-3), EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 100, “Restructuring and Impairment Charges.” In accordance with this guidance, management must execute an exit plan that will result in the incurrence of costs that have no future economic benefit. Also under the terms of EITF 94-3 a liability for the restructuring charges is recognized in the period management approves the restructuring plan.The Company recorded a liability that primarily includes the estimated severance and other costs related to employee benefits and certain estimated costs to exit equipment and facility lease obligations, bandwidth agreements and other service contracts. These estimates are based on the remaining amounts due under various contractual agreements, adjusted for any anticipated contract cancellation penalty fees or any anticipated or unanticipated event or changes in circumstances that would reduce these obligations.

Accounting for the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales returns.    The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be adversely affected. A reserve for sales returns is established based on historical trends in product returns. If the actual or future returns do not reflect the historical data, our net revenue could be affected.

Loss Contingencies.    The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers the likelihood of the loss or impairment of an asset or the

39

incurrence of a liability as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates the current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

Excess and Obsolete Inventory.    The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Such adjustments are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the inventory.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 will apply to all business combinations that the Company enters into after June 30, 2001, and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new statements, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Company is required to adopt these statements for accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. Upon adoption, the Company will perform the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets under SFAS No. 142. As of July 31, 2002, the Company has not yet determined what effect these tests will have on its operations and financial position.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, SFAS No. 141 will require the Company to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Accordingly, the Company will be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all identifiable intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is then determined to have an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

SFAS No. 142 will require the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this the Company must identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company will then have up to six months from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss for goodwill will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement addresses the accounting treatment for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of the statement apply to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of a long-lived asset. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 143, but does not expect this statement to have a material impact on its operations or financial position.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Impairment on Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, the criteria required for classifying an asset as held-for-sale have been significantly changed. Assets held-for-sale are stated at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts, and depreciation is no longer recognized. In addition, the expected future operating losses from discontinued operations will be displayed in discontinued operations in the period in which the losses are incurred rather than as of the measurement date. More dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the statement of operations under the new rules. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 144 to its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued as interpretive guidance Topic No. D-103, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred” (“Topic D-103”). Topic D-103 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the statement of operations and was adopted by the Company at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. This change in revenue classification impacts the Company’s Enterprise Software and Services segment, resulting in an increase in both net revenue and cost of revenue of approximately $6.2 million for fiscal year 2001. There was no impact on operating loss for any prior periods. Comparative financial statements for prior periods were reclassified to comply with this interpretive guidance.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections effective for financial statements issued after May 15, 2002. The standard rescinds Statement 4 which required all gains and loses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, when material, classified as an extraordinary item net of related income tax effect. CMGI does not expect this Statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. The provisions of this Statement are required to be applied to exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 146 to its consolidated financial statements.

Contractual Obligations

The Company leases facilities and certain other machinery and equipment under various non-cancelable operating leases and executory contracts expiring through December 2013. Future minimum contractual payments as of July 31, 2002 are as follows:

	Operating Leases		Stadium			Other Contractual Obligations		Total
	(in thousands)
For the fiscal years ended July 31:
2003	$	37,113	$	1,600		$	3,778	$	42,491
2004		22,701		1,600			1,100		25,401
2005		20,674		1,600			250		22,524
2006		18,241		1,600			—		19,841

	$	152,077	$	20,800		$	5,128	$	178,005

Total future minimum lease payments have been reduced by future minimum sublease rentals of approximately $10.3 million.

The Company leases facilities and certain machinery and equipment under non-cancelable capital lease arrangements, which are not included in the table above. The present value of net minimum capital lease obligations is $1.8 million and $23.6 million as of July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Total rent and equipment lease expense charged to continuing operations was approximately $41.0 million, $108.4 million, and $60.5 million for the years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

In August 2000, the Company announced it had acquired the exclusive naming and sponsorship rights to the New England Patriots’ new stadium, for a period of fifteen years. Under the terms of the original sponsorship agreement, the Company was scheduled to pay $7.6 million per year for the first ten years, with consumer price index adjustments for years eleven through fifteen, in return for the naming and sponsorship rights. In August 2002, the Company agreed with the owner of the stadium to amend the sponsorship agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company relinquished the stadium naming rights and retained more limited marketing rights in exchange for a series of annual payments of $1.6 million per year beginning in 2003 and ending in 2015.

From time to time the Company provides guarantees of payment to vendors doing business with certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. These guarantees require that in the event that the CMGI subsidiary company cannot satisfy its obligations with certain of its vendors, the Company will be required to settle the obligation. As of July 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had outstanding guarantees of subsidiary indebtedness totaling $15.2 million and $20.7 million, respectively.

Other contractual obligations primarily consist of an agreement between AltaVista and DoubleClick, Inc. (DoubleClick). Under this agreement, AltaVista is contractually obligated to use a portion of DoubleClick’s ad-serving technology through December 31, 2004. AltaVista estimates its remaining contractual obligation to DoubleClick from the period August 1, 2002 through December 31, 2004 will not exceed $3.3 million.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements in this document and those made from time to

42

time by the Company through its senior management are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements concerning the expected future revenues or earnings or concerning projected plans, performance, product development, product release or product shipment, as well as other estimates related to future operations are necessarily only estimates of future results and there can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. Forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. CMGI does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

CMGI may not be profitable in the future.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002, CMGI had an operating loss of approximately $591 million. CMGI anticipates that it will continue to incur significant operating expenses in the future, including significant costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative and amortization, impairment and restructuring expenses. CMGI also has significant commitments and contingencies, including with respect to real estate, machinery and equipment leases, continuing stadium sponsorship obligations, and guarantees entered into by CMGI on behalf of itself and its operating companies. As a result, CMGI expects to continue to incur significant operating expenses and can give no assurance that it will achieve profitability or be capable of sustaining profitable operations. At July 31, 2002, CMGI had a consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $257.2 million. Total cash and cash equivalents usage was approximately $43.8 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. If CMGI is unable to reach and sustain profitability, it risks depleting its working capital balances and its business will be materially adversely affected.

CMGI may have problems raising money it needs in the future.

CMGI from time to time seeks opportunities to provide capital to support CMGI’s growth through the selective sale of investments or minority interests in subsidiaries or affiliates to outside investors. In recent years, CMGI has generally financed its operations with proceeds from selling shares of stock of companies in which CMGI had invested directly or through its @Ventures venture capital affiliates. The aggregate holdings and market value of the shares of stock held by CMGI has declined significantly over the past two plus years, due to market conditions and continued sales. Market and other conditions largely beyond CMGI’s control may affect its future ability to engage in such sales, the timing of any such sales, and the amount of proceeds therefrom. Even if CMGI is able to sell any such securities in the future, CMGI may not be able to sell at favorable prices or on favorable terms. In addition, this funding source may not be sufficient in the future, and CMGI may need to obtain funding from outside sources. However, CMGI may not be able to obtain funding from outside sources. In addition, even if CMGI finds outside funding sources, CMGI may be required to issue to such outside sources securities with greater rights than those currently possessed by holders of CMGI’s common stock. CMGI may also be required to take other actions, which may lessen the value of its common stock or dilute its common stockholders, including borrowing money on terms that are not favorable to CMGI or issuing additional shares of common stock. If CMGI experiences difficulties raising money in the future, its business will be materially adversely affected.

CMGI derives a significant portion of its revenue from a small number of customers and the loss of any of those customers could significantly damage CMGI’s business.

A limited number of customers account for a substantial portion of CMGI’s consolidated net revenue and the loss of any one or more of these customers could cause its revenue to decline below expectations. On July 11, 2002, CMGI acquired the assets of iLogistix, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SL Supply Chain. Nearly all of the revenues of SL Supply Chain are accounted for by sales to Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. CMGI currently does not have any agreements which obligate either customer to buy a minimum amount of products or services from CMGI or to designate CMGI as its sole supplier of any particular products or services. The loss of

43

a significant amount of business with Hewlett-Packard or Microsoft, or any other key customer, would have a material adverse effect on CMGI. CMGI believes that it will continue to derive a significant portion of its operating revenue from sales to a small number of customers. There can be no assurance that CMGI’s revenue from key customers will not decline in future periods.

CMGI and its operating companies depend on third-party software, systems and services.

CMGI and its operating companies rely on products and services of third-party providers in their business operations. For example, uBid’s business relies on order management software and information systems provided by Oracle and other third parties, as well as on Microsoft.NET enterprise servers to run its auction website. There can be no assurance that CMGI or its operating companies will not experience operational problems attributable to the installation, implementation, integration, performance, features or functionality of such third-party software, systems and services. Any interruption in the availability or usage of the products and services provided by third parties could have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of CMGI or its operating companies.

If the market for supply chain management services declines, the demand for CMGI’s services and its financial results could suffer.

CMGI derives a substantial portion of its revenue from providing supply chain management services. CMGI’s business and future growth will depend in large part on the industry trend towards outsourcing supply chain management and other business processes. If this trend does not continue or declines, demand for CMGI’s supply chain management services would decline and its financial results could suffer.

A decline in the technology sector could reduce CMGI’s revenue.

A large portion of CMGI’s supply chain management revenue comes from clients in the technology sector which is intensely competitive and highly volatile. A decline in the overall performance of the technology sector could adversely affect the demand for the supply chain management services and reduce CMGI’s revenues from such clients.

CMGI depends on certain important employees, and the loss of any of those employees may harm CMGI’s business.

CMGI’s performance is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers and other key employees, as well as management of its operating companies. The familiarity of these individuals with the Internet and supply chain management industries makes them especially critical to CMGI’s success. In addition, CMGI’s success is dependent on its ability to attract, train, retain and motivate high quality personnel, especially for its operating companies management teams. The loss of the services of any of CMGI’s executive officers or key employees may harm its business. CMGI’s success also depends on its continuing ability to attract, train, retain and motivate other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense.

There may be conflicts of interest among CMGI, CMGI’s subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and stockholders.

Some of CMGI’s officers and directors also serve as officers or directors of one or more of CMGI’s subsidiaries. In addition, David S. Wetherell, CMGI’s Chairman of the Board, has significant compensatory interests in certain of CMGI’s @Ventures venture capital affiliates. As a result, CMGI, CMGI’s officers and directors, and CMGI’s subsidiaries and venture capital affiliates may face potential conflicts of interest with each other and with stockholders. Specifically, CMGI’s officers and directors may be presented with situations in their

44

capacity as officers, directors or management of one of CMGI’s subsidiaries and venture capital affiliates that conflict with their fiduciary obligations as officers or directors of CMGI or of another subsidiary or affiliate.

CMGI’s strategy of expanding its business through acquisitions of other businesses and technologies presents special risks.

CMGI intends to continue to expand its business in certain areas through the acquisition of businesses, technologies, products and services from other businesses. Acquisitions involve a number of special problems, including:

• difficulty integrating acquired technologies, operations and personnel with the existing businesses;

• diversion of management attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisitions and integrating the assets;

• strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to oversee larger operations;

• the funding requirements for acquired companies may be significant;

• exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies;

• increased risk of costly and time-consuming litigation, including stockholder lawsuits;

• potential issuance of securities in connection with an acquisition with rights that are superior to the rights of holders of CMGI’s common stock, or which may have a dilutive effect on the common stockholders;

• the need to incur additional debt or use cash; and

• the requirement to record potentially significant additional future operating costs for the amortization of intangible assets.

CMGI may not be able to successfully address these problems. Moreover, CMGI’s future operating results will depend to a significant degree on its ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and manage operations while also controlling expenses and cash burn. In addition, many of CMGI’s investments are in early-stage companies with limited operating histories and limited or no revenues. CMGI may not continue to fund or successfully develop these young companies to profitability.

CMGI must develop and maintain positive brand name awareness.

CMGI believes that establishing and maintaining its brand name and the brand names of its operating companies is essential to expanding its business and attracting new customers. CMGI also believes that the importance of brand name recognition will increase in the future as Internet companies continue to differentiate themselves. Promotion and enhancement of CMGI’s brand names will depend largely on its ability to provide consistently high-quality products and services. If CMGI is unable to provide high-quality products and services, the value of its brand names will suffer and CMGI’s business prospects may be adversely affected.

CMGI’s quarterly results may fluctuate significantly.

CMGI’s operating results have fluctuated widely on a quarterly basis during the last several years, and it expects to experience significant fluctuations in future quarterly operating results. Many factors, some of which are beyond CMGI’s control, have contributed to these quarterly fluctuations in the past and may continue to do so. Such factors include:

• demand for its products and services;

• payment of costs associated with its acquisitions, sales of assets and investments;

45

• timing of sales of assets and marketable securities;

• market acceptance of new products and services;

• seasonality, especially in the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment;

• charges for impairment of long-lived assets in future periods;

• potential restructuring charges in connection with CMGI’s continuing restructuring efforts;

• specific economic conditions in the industries in which CMGI competes; and

• general economic conditions.

The emerging nature of the commercial uses of the Internet makes predictions concerning CMGI’s future revenues difficult. CMGI believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicative of its future performance. It is also possible that in some fiscal quarters, CMGI’s operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such circumstances, the price of CMGI’s common stock may decline.

The price of CMGI’s common stock has been volatile and may fluctuate based on the value of its assets.

The market price of CMGI’s common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile, experiencing wide fluctuations. In recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly impacted the market prices of equity securities of many companies providing Internet-related products and services. Some of these fluctuations appear to be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. Future market movements may adversely affect the market price of CMGI’s common stock. In addition, should the market price of CMGI’s common stock remain below $1.00 per share for an extended period, it risks Nasdaq delisting, which would have an adverse effect on CMGI’s business. In order to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, CMGI may consider several strategies, including without limitation a reverse stock split.

In addition, a portion of CMGI’s assets includes the equity securities of both publicly traded and privately held companies. The market price and valuations of the securities that CMGI holds may fluctuate due to market conditions and other conditions over which CMGI has no control. Fluctuations in the market price and valuations of the securities that CMGI holds in other companies may result in fluctuations of the market price of CMGI’s common stock and may reduce the amount of working capital available to CMGI. Finally, CMGI is obligated to deliver, no later than December 2, 2002, approximately 448 million shares of Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited to the former holders of CMGI’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

CMGI relies on NaviSite for Web site hosting.

On September 11, 2002, CMGI sold all of its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite to ClearBlue Technologies, Inc. CMGI and certain of its operating companies rely on NaviSite for network connectivity and hosting of servers. If NaviSite fails to perform such services, CMGI’s internal business operations may be interrupted, and the ability of CMGI’s operating companies to provide services to customers may also be interrupted. Such interruptions may have an adverse impact on CMGI’s business and revenues and its operating companies.

46

The success of CMGI and its operating companies depends greatly on increased use of the Internet by businesses and individuals.

The success of CMGI and its operating companies depends greatly on increased use of the Internet for e-commerce transactions, advertising, marketing, providing services and conducting business. Commercial use of the Internet is currently at an early stage of development and the future of the Internet is not clear. In addition, it is not clear how effective Internet advertising is or will be, or how successful Internet-based sales will be. The businesses of CMGI’s operating companies will suffer if commercial use of the Internet fails to grow in the future.

CMGI’s operating companies are subject to intense competition.

The markets for the products and services of CMGI’s operating companies are highly competitive and often lack significant barriers to entry, enabling new businesses to enter these markets relatively easily. Competition in the markets for Internet products and services may intensify in the future. Numerous well-established companies and smaller entrepreneurial companies are focusing significant resources on developing and marketing products and services that will compete with the products and services of CMGI’s operating companies. The market for supply chain management products and services is very competitive, and the intensity of the competition is expected to continue to increase. Any failure to maintain and enhance the competitive position of CMGI’s supply chain management operating companies will limit its ability to maintain and increase market share, which would result in serious harm to CMGI’s business. Increased competition may also result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. In addition, many of the current and potential competitors of CMGI’s operating companies have greater financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than those of CMGI’s operating companies. CMGI’s operating companies may not be able to compete successfully against these competitors. Competitive pressures may also force prices for Internet and supply chain management products and services down and such price reductions may reduce the revenues of CMGI’s operating companies.

If the United States or other governments regulate the Internet more closely, the businesses of CMGI’s operating companies may be harmed.

Because of the Internet’s popularity and increasing use, new laws and regulations may be adopted. These laws and regulations may cover issues such as privacy, pricing, taxation, advertising methods and content. The enactment of any additional laws or regulations may impede the growth of the Internet and the Internet-related business of CMGI’s operating companies and could place additional financial burdens on their businesses.

To succeed, CMGI’s operating companies must respond to the rapid changes in technology and distribution channels related to the Internet.

The markets for the Internet and technology products and services of CMGI’s operating companies are characterized by:

• rapidly changing technology;

• evolving industry standards;

• frequent new product and service introductions;

• shifting distribution channels; and

• changing customer demands.

The success of CMGI’s operating companies will depend on their ability to adapt to this rapidly evolving marketplace. They may not be able to adequately adapt their products and services or to acquire new products and services that can compete successfully. In addition, CMGI’s operating companies may not be able to establish and maintain effective distribution channels.

47

CMGI’s operating companies face security risks.

Consumer concerns about the security of transmissions of confidential information over public telecommunications facilities is a significant barrier to e-commerce and communications on the Internet. Many factors may cause compromises or breaches of the security systems that CMGI’s operating companies or other Internet sites use to protect proprietary information, including advances in computer and software functionality or new discoveries in the field of cryptography. A significant compromise of security on the Internet would have a negative effect on the use of the Internet for commerce and communications and negatively impact CMGI’s operating companies. Security breaches of their activities or the activities of their customers and sponsors involving the storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, may expose CMGI’s operating companies to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. CMGI cannot assure that the security measures of CMGI’s operating companies will prevent security breaches.

The success of the global operations of CMGI’s operating companies is subject to special risks and costs.

CMGI’s operating companies intend to continue to expand their operations outside of the United States. This international expansion will require significant management attention and financial resources. The ability of CMGI’s operating companies to expand their offerings of CMGI’s products and services internationally will be limited by the general acceptance of the Internet in other countries. In addition, CMGI and its operating companies have limited experience in such international activities. Accordingly, CMGI and its operating companies will need to commit substantial time and development resources to customizing the products and services of its operating companies for selected international markets and to developing international sales and support channels.

CMGI expects that the export sales of its operating companies will be denominated predominantly in United States dollars. As a result, an increase in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies may make the products and services of its operating companies more expensive and, therefore, potentially less competitive in international markets. As CMGI’s operating companies increase their international sales, their total revenues may also be affected to a greater extent by seasonal fluctuations resulting from lower sales that typically occur during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world.

CMGI’s operating companies could be subject to infringement claims and other liabilities.

From time to time, CMGI’s operating companies have been, and expect to continue to be, subject to third-party claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights. Any such claims may damage the businesses of CMGI’s operating companies by:

• subjecting them to significant liability for damages;

• resulting in invalidation of their proprietary rights;

• resulting in costly license fees in order to settle such claims;

• being time-consuming and expensive to defend even if such claims are not meritorious; and

• resulting in the diversion of management time and attention.

In addition, because materials may be downloaded from the Internet and subsequently distributed to others, CMGI’s operating companies may be subject to claims for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, personal injury or other theories based on the nature, content, publication and distribution of such materials.

48

ITEM 7A—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to equity price risks on the marketable portion of its equity securities. The Company’s available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2002 primarily consisted of investments in companies in the Internet and technology industries which have experienced significant historical volatility in their stock prices. The Company typically does not attempt to reduce or eliminate its market exposure on these securities. A 20% adverse change in equity prices, based on a sensitivity analysis of the equity component of the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio as of July 31, 2002, would result in an approximate $2.1 million decrease in the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities.

The carrying values of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value, as estimated by using discounted future cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

The Company from time to time uses derivative financial instruments primarily to reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates on its borrowing arrangements. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As a matter of policy all derivative positions are used to reduce risk by hedging underlying economic or market exposure. The derivatives the Company uses are straightforward instruments with liquid markets. At July 31, 2002, the Company was primarily exposed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) interest rate on its outstanding borrowing arrangements.

The Company has historically had very low exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and as such, has not used derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation risk. The Company may consider utilizing derivative instruments to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the future.

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)    Nature of Operations

CMGI, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CMGI” or the “Company”) is an operating and development company comprised of established and emerging companies, including both CMGI operating businesses and investments. CMGI companies span a range of vertical market segments including eBusiness and Fulfillment and Enterprise Software and Services.

CMGI’s business strategy over the years has led to the development, acquisition and operation of majority-owned subsidiaries focused on Internet technologies and supply chain management services, as well as the strategic investment in other Internet companies that have demonstrated synergies with CMGI’s core businesses. The Company’s strategy also envisions and promotes opportunities for synergistic business relationships among its subsidiaries, investments and affiliates.

(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for investments in businesses in which it owns less than 50% using the equity method, if the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee company. All other investments for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or for which there is not a readily determinable market value, are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.

Certain costs related to the purchase price of products sold, inbound and outbound shipping charges, packing supplies and other costs associated with marketplace business of the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment are classified as cost of revenue. Certain costs related to fulfillment, including distribution and customer service center expenses for activities such as receiving goods and picking of goods for shipment within the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment are classified as selling expenses.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of merchandise is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise and verification of the customer’s credit card authorization or receipt of cash. All shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and related costs as costs of revenue when incurred, as long as the Company takes title to the products or assumes the risks and rewards of ownership.

The Company’s advertising revenue is derived primarily from the delivery of advertising impressions through its own or third-party Web sites. Revenue is recognized in the period that the advertising impressions are delivered, provided the collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

Revenue from software product licenses, database services and website traffic audit reports are generally recognized when (i) a signed non-cancelable software license exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the Company’s fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is probable.

57

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Revenue from software maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of each maintenance agreement, typically twelve months. Revenue from professional services is recognized as the services are performed, collection is probable and such revenues are contractually nonrefundable. Revenue from multiple element arrangements involving products, services and support elements is recognized in accordance with AICPA SOP 98-9,“Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Arrangements,”when vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the delivered element. As required by SOP 98-9, under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements are deferred and subsequently recognized. The Company establishes sufficient vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for services and support elements based on the price charged when these elements are sold separately. Accordingly, software license revenue for products developed is recognized under the residual method in arrangements in which the software is sold with one or both of the other elements. Revenue from license agreements that require significant customizations and modifications to the software product is deferred and recognized using the percentage of completion method using labor hours as the primary measure towards completion. For license arrangements involving customizations for which the amount of customization effort cannot be reasonably estimated or when license arrangements provide for customer acceptance, we recognize revenue under the completed contract method of accounting.

Revenue from e-mail based direct marketing is recognized upon delivery of the e-mail to the target audience that represents substantial completion of the contract obligation.

Substantially all media and media management revenue is recognized on a gross basis and amounts paid to Web sites where advertisements appear are recorded as cost of revenue. Revenue is generally recognized gross of the related Web site expense in arrangements in which the Company acts as the principal in the transaction. Revenue is recognized net of the related Web site expense in arrangements in which the Company primarily acts as a sales agent.

Revenue from server hosting, systems administration, application rentals and Web site management services is generally billed and recognized over the term of the contract based on actual usage.

The Company adopted SAB No. 101 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 99-19,“Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 and accordingly recognized an adjustment for approximately $27.6 million. The adjustment reduced both net revenue and cost of revenue by $8.1 million, $7.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively for each of the first three quarters of fiscal year 2001. An adjustment of $7.6 million was also recorded to net revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. The adoption of SAB No. 101 also reflects a change in the recognition of certain revenues within the eBusiness and Fulfillment segment from a gross basis to a net basis. These adjustments had no impact on operating loss.

The Company adopted Topic No. D-103, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred” at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Topic D-103 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the statement of operations. This change in revenue classification impacts the Company’s Enterprise Software and Services segment, resulting in an increase in both net revenue and cost of revenue of approximately $6.2 million for fiscal year 2001. There was no impact on revenue or cost of revenue for fiscal year 2000. There was no impact on operating loss for any prior periods. Comparative financial statements for prior periods were reclassified to comply with this interpretive guidance.

Amounts billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are classified as deferred revenue.

Gains on Issuance of Stock by Subsidiaries and Affiliates

At the time a subsidiary sells its stock to unrelated parties at a price in excess of its book value, the Company’s net investment in that subsidiary increases. If at that time, the subsidiary is not a newly formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the subsidiary’s ability to continue in existence, the Company records the increase in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Otherwise, the increase is reflected in “Effect of subsidiaries’ equity transactions” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

At the time a subsidiary sells its stock to unrelated parties at a price below its book value, the Company’s net investment in that subsidiary decreases. If at that time, the subsidiary is not a newly formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the subsidiary’s ability to continue in existence, the Company records the decrease in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Otherwise, the decrease is reflected in “Effect of subsidiaries’ equity transactions” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

If gains have been recognized on issuances of a subsidiary’s stock and shares of the subsidiary are subsequently repurchased by the subsidiary or by the Company, gain recognition does not occur on issuance subsequent to the date of a repurchase until such time as shares have been issued in an amount equivalent to the number of repurchased shares. Such transactions are reflected as equity transactions, and the net effect of these transactions is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

Cash Equivalents and Statement of Cash Flows Supplemental Information

Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition are considered cash equivalents.

Cash used for operating activities reflect cash payments for interest and income taxes as follows:

	Years ended July 31,
	2002		2001		2000
	(in thousands)
Interest	$	1,190	$	5,064	$	15,734
Income taxes	$	1,600	$	20,151	$	14,510

Portions of the consideration for acquisitions of businesses by the Company, or its subsidiaries, during fiscal years 2001 and 2000 included the issuance of shares of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ common stock and the issuance of seller’s notes (see note 8).

During fiscal 2002, significant non-cash activities included the Company’s repurchase of all of the outstanding shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for approximately 34.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock as well as additional consideration (see note 16).

In September 2001, the Company completed the sale of its majority-owned subsidiary, Activate.Net Corporation (Activate), in exchange for a $3.0 million note. At July 31, 2002 the carrying value of the note was reduced to $2.3 million as a result of a fourth quarter impairment charge of $0.7 million.

The Company also issued approximately 5.4 million shares of its common stock as payment for the first quarter fiscal 2002 interest on the Compaq Computer Corporation, now Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), note payable.

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Also during fiscal 2002, the Company reached an agreement with HP in which HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock, CMGI’s 49% ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions, LLC, of which HP had previously owned the remaining 51% as well as additional consideration (see note 14).

In November 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to hedge its investment in 581,499 shares of Yahoo! (Yahoo!) common stock. Under the terms of the new contract, the Company delivered 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock on August 1, 2001 (see note 14).

During fiscal year 2001, significant non-cash investing activities included the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock to HP as consideration for $23.0 million in annual interest payments due on the notes payable issued in conjunction with the acquisition of AltaVista. Also during the year ended July 31, 2001, the Company issued approximately 30.2 million shares of its common stock as payment of principal and interest totaling approximately $391.6 million related to notes payable that had been issued in the Company’s acquisition of Tallan, Inc. (Tallan). In August 2000, the Company and Cable & Wireless plc, completed a previously agreed to exchange of stock. CMGI received approximately 241.0 million shares of PCCW stock from Cable & Wireless in exchange for approximately 13.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

During fiscal year 2001, the Company settled the first and third tranches of an agreement (see note 14) that hedged a portion of the Company’s investment in common stock of Yahoo! through the delivery of 581,499 and 47,684 shares of Yahoo! common stock, respectively, to an investment bank.

During fiscal year 2001, Yahoo! acquired eGroups, Inc., a CMGI @Ventures investee company. In connection with the merger, CMG@Ventures III received approximately 91,000 shares (including shares held in escrow) of Yahoo! common stock.

In August 2000 and September 2000, respectively, Engage completed the acquisitions of Space and MediaBridge in exchange for its own common stock (see note 8).

During fiscal year 2000, significant non-cash investing activities included the exchange of stock between the Company and the following companies: divine, inc. (Divine), Primedia, Netcentives, Inc. (Netcentives) and PCCW. During fiscal year 2000, the Company also completed the sale of the Company’s investment in Half.com in exchange for eBay common stock.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value, as estimated by using discounted future cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Investments

Marketable securities held the Company which meet the criteria for classification as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, net of a market discount to reflect any restrictions on transferability. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale are carried net of income taxes as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

60

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Marketable securities held by the Company which meet the criteria for classification as trading are carried at fair value. Changes in the market value of securities classified as trading are recorded as a component of “Other gains (losses), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other investments in which the Company’s interest is less than 20% and which are not classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value unless it is determined that the Company exercises significant influence over the investee company, in which case the equity method of accounting is used. For those investments in affiliates in which the Company’s voting interest is between 20% and 50%, the equity method of accounting is generally used. Under this method, the investment balance, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the affiliates as they occur, limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee. The Company’s share of net earnings or losses of affiliates includes the amortization of the difference between the Company’s investment and its share of the underlying net assets of the investee. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to five years. These adjustments are reflected in “Equity in losses of affiliates” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At the time an equity method investee sells its stock to unrelated parties at a price in excess of its book value, the Company’s net investment in that affiliate increases. If at that time, the affiliate is not a newly formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the affiliate’s ability to continue in existence, the Company records the increase as a gain in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company assesses the need to record impairment losses on investments and records such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other than temporary in nature. These impairment losses are reflected in “Other gains (losses), net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s management performs on-going business reviews and, based on quantitative and qualitative measures, assesses the need to record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when impairment indicators are present. Where impairment indicators are identified, management determines the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the company being evaluated. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominately utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. The impairment policy is consistently applied in evaluating impairment for each of the Company’s wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and investments. It is reasonably possible that the impairment factors evaluated by management will change in subsequent periods, given that the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in material impairment charges in future periods.

Restructuring Expenses

The Company assesses the need to record restructuring charges in accordance with EITF No. 94-3,“Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”, EITF No. 95-3,“Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” and SAB No. 100,“Restructuring and Impairment Charges.” In accordance

61

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

with this guidance, management must execute an exit plan that will result in the incurrence of costs that have no future economic benefit. Under the terms of EITF No. 94-3, a liability for the restructuring charges is recognized in the period management approves the restructuring plan.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (three to seven years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are added to property and equipment accounts at cost.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets are being amortized principally over periods expected to be benefited, ranging from two to fifteen years, with the majority of the goodwill balance being amortized over three years.

Research and Development Costs and Software Costs

Expenditures that are related to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products and the development of software are expensed as incurred, unless they are required to be capitalized. Software development costs are required to be capitalized when a product’s technological feasibility has been established by completion of a detailed program design or working model of the product, and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. To date, the establishment of technological feasibility and general release has substantially coincided. As a result, capitalized software development costs have not been significant. Additionally, at the date of acquisition or investment, the Company evaluates the components of the purchase price of each acquisition or investment to identify amounts allocated to in-process research and development. Upon completion of acquisition accounting and valuation, such amounts are charged to expense if technological feasibility had not been reached at the acquisition date.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed in the year incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $40.3 million, $48.2 million and $160.0 million for the years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year 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. Accrued taxes payable includes reserves for estimated tax exposures.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and convertible preferred stock are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share only when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. Approximately 4.7 million weighted average common stock equivalents were excluded from the denominator in the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended July 31, 2002. As the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was repurchased in November 2001 (see note 16), there is no effect of assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock for the year ended July 31, 2002.Approximately 8.5 million weighted average common stock equivalents and approximately 9.7 million shares representing the weighted average effect of assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock were excluded from the denominator in the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended July 31, 2001. Approximately 13.1 million weighted average common stock equivalents and approximately 9.5 million shares representing the weighted average effect of assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock were excluded from the denominator in the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended July 31, 2000.

If a subsidiary has dilutive stock options or warrants outstanding, diluted earnings per share is computed by first deducting from net income (loss), the income attributable to the potential exercise of the dilutive stock options or warrants of the subsidiary. The effect of income attributable to dilutive subsidiary stock equivalents was immaterial during the years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company accounts for its stock compensation plans under the provisions of SFAS No. 123,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company measures compensation cost in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no accounting recognition is given to stock options granted at fair market value until they are exercised. Upon exercise, net proceeds, including tax benefits realized, are credited to equity.

Use of Estimates

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

Diversification of Risk

Sales to one customer, Cisco Systems, Inc., accounted for approximately 6%, 8% and 11% of consolidated net revenue and 8%, 14% and 28% of eBusiness and Fulfillment segment net revenue for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer amounted to approximately 5% and 10% of total trade accounts receivable at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Customer advertising contracts serviced by DoubleClick, Inc. accounted for approximately 1% and 13% of consolidated net revenue and 3% and 24% of the Enterprise Software and Services segment net revenue for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively. Accounts receivables from one customer, HP, account for approximately 33% of the total accounts receivable at July 31, 2002. The Company’s products and services are provided to customers primarily in North America.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash equivalent investment portfolio is diversified and consists primarily of short-term investment grade securities. To reduce risk, the

63

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable.

The Company enters into interest rate swap and cap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate debt. The swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed interest payments periodically over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amounts of interest rate agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on interest rate agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As amended, SFAS No. 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” establishes standards of accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position, and that the corresponding gains or losses be reported either in the statements of operations or as a component of comprehensive income, depending on the type of hedging relationship that exists. If the derivative is determined to be a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through the statements of operations or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in the statements of operations. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on August 1, 2000 and recorded a transition gain, net of income taxes, of approximately $3.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001.

Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130,“Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires certain financial statement components, such as net unrealized holding gains or losses and cumulative translation adjustments to be included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company reports accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 will apply to all business combinations that the Company enters into after June 30, 2001, and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new statements, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142, and apply its provisions for accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. Upon adoption, the Company will perform the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. As of July 31, 2002, the Company has not yet determined what effect these tests will have on its operations and financial position. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, SFAS No. 141 will require the Company to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Accordingly, the Company will be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all identifiable intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments. In

64

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

addition, to the extent an intangible asset is then determined to have an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

SFAS No. 142 will require the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this the Company must identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company will then have up to six months from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss for goodwill will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This statement addresses the accounting treatment for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The provisions of the statement apply to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of a long-lived asset. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 143, but does not expect this statement to have a material impact on its operations or financial position.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Impairment on Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, the criteria required for classifying an asset as held-for-sale have been significantly changed. Assets held-for-sale are stated at the lower of their fair values or carrying amounts, and depreciation is no longer recognized. In addition, the expected future operating losses from discontinued operations will be displayed in discontinued operations in the period in which the losses are incurred rather than as of the measurement date. More dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the statement of operations under the new rules. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 144 to its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued as interpretive guidance Topic No. D-103, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred”. Topic D-103 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the statement of operations and was adopted by the Company at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2002. This change in revenue classification impacts the Company’s Enterprise Software and Services segment, resulting in an increase in both net revenue and cost of revenue of approximately $6.2 million for fiscal year 2001. There was no impact on revenue or cost of revenue for fiscal year 2000. There was no impact on operating loss for any prior periods. Comparative financial statements for prior periods were reclassified to comply with this interpretive guidance.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” effective for financial statements issued after

65

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

May 15, 2002. The statement rescinds Statement 4 which required all gains and loses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, when material, classified as an extraordinary item net of related income tax effect. This statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue 94-3. The statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the statement include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. The provisions of this Statement are required to be applied to exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 146 to its consolidated financial statements.

(3)    Segment Information

Based on the information provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance, the Company’s operations have been classified in two operating segments that are strategic business units offering distinctive products and services that are marketed through different channels.

The Company previously reported five operating segments: (i) Interactive Marketing, (ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment, (iii) Search and Portals, (iv) Infrastructure and Enabling Technologies, and (v) Internet Professional Services. As a result of the cessation of operations, sale or other disposition of several subsidiaries and restructuring efforts at several of the remaining subsidiaries, the Company realigned its operating segments in fiscal 2002 to include three operating segments: (i) Enterprise Software and Services (which consists of Engage, (Engage, Inc.), Yesmail, Inc. (Yesmail), AltaVista Company (AltaVista), ProvisionSoft, Inc. (ProvisionSoft, formerly CMGion), Equilibrium Technologies, Inc. (Equilibrium) and Tallán, Inc. (Tallán) (ii) eBusiness and Fulfillment (which consists of SalesLink Corporation (SalesLink), uBid, Inc. (uBid), SL Supply Chain Services International Corp. (SL Supply Chain) as of July 2002, and the historical results of Signatures SNI, Inc., (Signatures) until the sale of the Company’s majority interest in February 2001), (iii) Managed Application Services (which consists of NaviSite, Inc. (NaviSite) and the historical results of NaviPath, Inc. (NaviPath), ExchangePath LLC (ExchangePath) and 1stUp.com Corporation (1stUp) until the cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and Activate.Net Corporation (Activate), until its sale in September 2001). The Other segment represents certain corporate marketing and administrative expenses and the Company’s venture capital arm, which invests in companies involved in various aspects of the Internet.

On September 11, 2002, the Company sold of all its equity and debt ownership interests in NaviSite. As a result, for all periods presented, NaviSite, which was previously included within the Managed Application Services segment, has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, as NaviSite’s product offering represents both a major line of business and a distinct class of customer. At the time of the sale, NaviSite comprised more than 90% of both the total assets and operating losses of the Managed Application Services segment. Accordingly, NaviSite’s net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) have been segregated from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and its operating results have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows, and related notes to the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (see note 4). The Company is currently evaluating its segment presentation and disclosures as a result of the recent dispositions of NaviSite, Engage, and Equilibrium.

66

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In addition to its two current operating segments in fiscal year 2002, the Company continues to report a Portals (formerly Search and Portals) segment that consists of the operations of MyWay and iCAST, as these entities do not meet the aggregation criteria under SFAS No. 131“Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, with respect to the Company’s current reporting segments. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2001, management announced its decision to cease funding the operations of iCAST, and in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, management announced its decision to cease funding the operations of MyWay. Accordingly, the historical results of these companies will continue to be reported in the Portals segment, as will any residual results from operations that exist through the cessation of operations. Prior to the realignment of the business and the reporting segments, the Portals segment also included the results of AltaVista. For comparative purposes, the historical results of AltaVista for all periods presented have been reclassified to the Enterprise Software and Services segment. Also, the Company will continue to report a Managed Application Services segment which includes the historical results of NaviPath, ExchangePath and 1stUp until the cessation of their operations in January 2002, January 2001 and December 2000, respectively, and Activate, until its sale in September 2001.

Management evaluates segment performance based on segment net revenue, operating loss and “pro forma operating income (loss)”, which is defined as the operating income (loss) excluding net charges related to in-process research and development, depreciation, long-lived asset impairment, restructuring and amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation.

(4)    Discontinued Operations

On June 12, 2002 (the measurement date), CMGI’s board of directors authorized the divestiture of the Company’s equity and debt ownership interests in its subsidiary NaviSite. In September 2002, the Company completed the sale of all its equity and debt ownership interests in its subsidiary, NaviSite to ClearBlue Technologies, Inc. (“ClearBlue”). In consideration thereof, the Company received, among other things, 131,579 shares of common stock of ClearBlue. As a result, for all periods presented, NaviSite, which was previously included within the Managed Application Services segment, has been accounted for as a discontinued operation, as NaviSite’s product offering represents both a major line of business and a distinct class of customer. At the time of the sale, NaviSite comprised more than 90% of both the total assets and operating losses of the Managed Application Services segment. As a result of the transaction, the Company expects to record a net gain of between $4.0 million and $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. The estimated gain on the sale of NaviSite includes the results of operations from the measurement date through the date of disposal. The results of operations of NaviSite from the measurement date through July 31, 2002 have been deferred and reflected as a deferred loss on disposal of subsidiary on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 2002 in accordance with EITF No. 85-36,“Discontinued Operations with Expected Gain and Interim Operating Losses.” Additionally, the historical operations of NaviSite have been reflected as loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and NaviSite’s net current assets and net long term assets (liabilities) have been reported as net current assets and net non-current assets (liabilities) of discontinued operations at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to reflect the operations of NaviSite as discontinued operations. Summarized financial information for discontinued operations is as follows:

(5)    Deconsolidation of Signatures SNI, Inc.

Beginning in February 2001, CMGI’s ownership interest in Signatures was reduced to below 50% as a result of the sale of the Company’s majority interest. As such, beginning in February 2001, the Company began to account for its investment in Signatures under the equity method of accounting, rather than the consolidation method. Prior to these events, the operating results of Signatures were consolidated within the operating results of the Company’s eBusiness and Fulfillment segment, and the assets and liabilities of Signatures were consolidated with those of CMGI’s other majority-owned subsidiaries in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s historical quarterly consolidated operating results for the six months ended January 31, 2001 included Signatures net revenue of approximately $40.8 million and operating losses of approximately $4.7 million.

(6)    Available-for-Sale Securities

At July 31, 2002 and 2001, available-for-sale securities primarily consist of stock investments, carried at fair value and based on quoted market prices. Available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2002 primarily consisted of approximately 4.6 million shares of Vicinity stock valued at $9.4 million and approximately 21,000 shares of Amazon.com stock valued at $0.3 million. Available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2001 primarily consisted of approximately 7.1 million shares of Primedia stock valued at $43.5 million, 590,000 shares of Yahoo! stock valued at $10.4 million, 4.6 million shares of Vicinity stock valued at $8.0 million, 4.7 million shares of Divine stock valued at $6.0 million, 2.1 million shares of MSGI stock valued at $1.9 million and 3.2 million shares of Ventro Corporation stock valued at $1.6 million. The net unrealized holding gain of approximately $0.8 million and $17.7 million, net of deferred income taxes, has been presented as “Accumulated other comprehensive income” within the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Fiscal 2002

On July 11, 2002, following approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court and the administrator in The Netherlands, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary SL Supply Chain, acquired substantially all of the worldwide assets and operations of iLogistix, a provider of a comprehensive suite of traditional and e-commerce supply chain management services, for approximately $44.3 million. The purchase price allocation for iLogistix (now doing business as SL Supply Chain) is preliminary and subject to change.

Fiscal 2001

In August 2000, Engage completed its acquisition of Space. The total purchase price for Space was valued at approximately $35.8 million consisting of approximately 3.2 million shares of Engage common stock valued at approximately $35.5 million and direct acquisition costs of approximately $425,000, net of cash acquired of $70,000. Engage also recorded approximately $18.9 million in deferred compensation related to approximately 1.5 million shares of Engage common stock to be issued to certain employee shareholders of Space contingent upon continued employment for a one year period following the date of acquisition. Lastly, contingent consideration, comprised of approximately 1.4 million shares of Engage common stock, has been placed in escrow to satisfy certain performance objectives by Space.At July 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, the performance goals were not met by Space.

In September 2000, Engage completed its acquisition of MediaBridge. The total purchase price for MediaBridge was valued at approximately $219.1 million consisting of approximately 11.7 million shares of Engage common stock valued at approximately $190.1 million, options to purchase Engage common stock valued at approximately $31.1 million, direct acquisition costs of approximately $482,000 and net cash acquired of $2.6 million. Of the purchase price, $700,000 was allocated to in-process research and development, which was charged to operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Engage also recorded approximately $7.0 million in deferred compensation related to stock options issued to certain MediaBridge employees. During fiscal year 2001, Engage recorded a $2.9 million adjustment to the goodwill that was originally recorded for the MediaBridge acquisition. The adjustment related principally to accruing additional liabilities related to MediaBridge pre-acquisition contingencies. The additional goodwill recorded will be amortized over the remaining life of the goodwill amortization periods as originally determined for the MediaBridge acquisition. In the fourth quarter of 2001, an impairment charge in the amount of approximately $109.0 million was recorded to write-down MediaBridge goodwill and other intangible assets to fair value (see note 9). In the fourth quarter of 2002, an impairment charge was recorded to write-down the remaining goodwill and other intangible assets.

Fiscal 2000

In August 1999, CMGI completed its acquisition of approximately 81.5% of AltaVista, for approximately 38.0 million CMGI common shares valued at approximately $1.8 billion, approximately 18,000 shares of the Company’s Series D preferred stock, which were converted into approximately 3.7 million shares of CMGI common stock in October 1999 valued at approximately $173.0 million, two three-year notes totaling $220.0 million and the exchange of CMGI and subsidiary stock options for AltaVista stock options. The AltaVista acquisition included the assets and liabilities constituting the AltaVista Internet search service and also included former Compaq subsidiaries Zip2 Corporation and Shopping.com. The shares issued by the Company in connection with the AltaVista acquisition are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The total purchase price for AltaVista was valued at approximately $2.4 billion, including costs of acquisition of approximately $4.0 million. The value of the Company’s shares included in the purchase price was recorded net of a weighted average 10% market value discount to reflect the restrictions on transferability.

In January 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of AdForce. The total purchase price for AdForce was valued at approximately $545.0 million. Of the purchase price, approximately $9.3 million was allocated to in-process research and development, which was charged to operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2000. Also in January 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of Flycast. The total purchase price for Flycast was valued at approximately $897.5 million. Of the purchase price, approximately $29.3 million was allocated to in-process research and development, which was charged to operations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2000. In March 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of Yesmail. The total purchase price for Yesmail was valued at approximately $588.6 million. Of the purchase price, approximately $18.5 million was allocated to in-process research and development, which was charged to operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. In April 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of uBid. The total purchase price for uBid was valued at approximately $390.8 million. Also in April 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of approximately 94.2% of Tallan. The total purchase price for Tallan was valued at approximately $905.2 million. The consideration for the acquisitions of AdForce, Flycast, Yesmail and uBid was primarily in the form of CMGI common stock.

In April 2000, CMGI contributed Flycast and Adsmart to Engage, a majority-owned subsidiary of CMGI. Upon completion of the transaction, CMGI received approximately 64 million shares of Engage common stock, and Flycast and Adsmart became wholly owned subsidiaries of Engage. As a result of the transaction, CMGI’s ownership interest in Engage increased to approximately 87% and CMGI recorded a decrease to its consolidated stockholders’ equity of approximately $54.0 million to reflect this transaction.

During fiscal year 2000, the Company, or its subsidiaries, also completed the acquisitions of eighteen other companies for combined consideration of approximately $586.1 million in CMGI and subsidiary common stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock of CMGI and subsidiaries, notes which are payable only in CMGI common stock and cash and commitments to fund a total of approximately $83.0 million in operating capital. Those acquisitions included 1stUp ($35.9 million purchase price), Activate ($61.6 million), AdKnowledge ($164.1 million), AdTECH Advertising Service Providing GmbH (in which the Company acquired an 80.29% ownership interest) ($20.2 million), Clara Vista Corporation ($17.2 million), ClickHear, Inc.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the consolidated operations of the Company as if the fiscal year 2002 acquisition of SL Supply Chain had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal year 2001, after giving effect to certain adjustments including the elimination of SL Supply Chain’s amortization of goodwill and non-recurring charges that are not indicative of normal operating results. The fiscal year 2000 pro forma presents the consolidated operations of the Company as if the fiscal year 2000, acquisitions of AltaVista, AdForce, Flycast, Yesmail, Tallán, and uBid had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal 2000, after giving effect to certain adjustments including increased amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets related to the acquisitions and increased interest expense related to long-term debt issued in conjunction with the acquisitions. In-process research and development charges totaling $57.1 million, which were recorded in fiscal 2000 related to the acquisitions of AdForce, Flycast and Yesmail in fiscal 2000, are excluded from the pro forma results as they are non-recurring and not indicative of normal operating results. The unaudited pro forma information excludes the impact of all other fiscal year 2000 and 2001 acquisitions, respectively, since they are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(9)    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company records impairment charges as a result of management’s ongoing business review and impairment analysis performed under its existing policy regarding impairment. Where impairment indicators were identified, management determined the amount of the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to their fair value. Management determines fair value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the Company. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the Company based on the relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the Company in comparison to the guideline companies. Management predominantly utilizes third-party valuation reports in its determination of fair value. Management predominantly determines fair value of other long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, based on third party valuation reports.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $9.3 million. These charges included an impairment charge of $6.5 million related to the purchase of certain leased equipment previously held under operating and capital leases by AltaVista (see note 14). The Company also recorded approximately $2.8 million related to impairment of customer base and workforce in place intangible assets at Tallan.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $4.0 million. AltaVista recorded long-lived asset impairment charges totaling approximately $1.1 million related to an adjustment of a previously recorded impairment charge recorded by AltaVista as part of its agreement with Compaq Financial Services Corporation, (now Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Corporation, HPFS) to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased under operating and capital lease agreements. Tallan recorded an impairment charge totaling approximately $0.6 million resulting from the carrying value of certain other intangible assets, specifically the workforce in place as of the acquisition date, exceeding their estimated fair value at January 31, 2002. The Company also recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.3 million resulting from a write-off of certain assets which are no longer being utilized by the Company, primarily software and consulting fees capitalized in the development of software for internal use, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures, at the Company’s headquarters.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $3.4 million. During the quarter, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of approximately $2.8 million related to leasehold improvements that were deemed impaired as a result of AltaVista’s renegotiation of a real estate lease. Under the renegotiated terms, AltaVista reduced the amount of square footage under the lease and forfeited certain leasehold improvements that were located in the leased

73

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

building. AltaVista deemed these forfeited leasehold improvements to be permanently impaired as the leasehold improvements would not provide any future economic benefit to AltaVista. Additionally, Tallan recorded an impairment of long-lived assets charge of approximately $0.6 million resulting from the carrying value of certain other intangible assets, specifically the workforce in place and the customer list as of the acquisition date, exceeding their estimated fair value at April 30, 2002.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $56.4 million. Due to the continued decline in operating and financial metrics, management determined that the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets exceeded their estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $31.2 million and $23.4 million related to Engage and Tallan, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of their goodwill and intangible balances.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $69.6 million. Subsequent to October 31, 2000, CMGI announced its decisions to exit the businesses conducted by its subsidiaries iCAST and 1stUp. In connection with these decisions, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets, principally goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges of approximately $3.6 million and $23.3 million related to iCAST and 1stUp, respectively. The Company also recorded other impairment charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 totaling approximately $42.7 million, consisting primarily of $16.8 million related to intangible assets of Engage, $8.9 million related to intangible assets of MyWay, and $10.1 million related to intangible assets of ProvisionSoft.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $2.0 billion. Each of the companies for which impairment charges were recorded in the second quarter had experienced declines in operating and financial metrics over the previous several quarters in comparison to the metrics forecasted at the time of their respective acquisitions. The impairment analysis considered that these companies were recently acquired during the time period from August 1999 to March 2000 and that the intangible assets recorded upon acquisition of these companies were generally being amortized over a three-year useful life. Sufficient monitoring was performed over the course of the prior several quarters and this monitoring process culminated with impairment charges for these companies in the second quarter. The amount of the impairment charge was determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets to fair value at January 31, 2001. The discount rates used as of January 31, 2001 ranged from 20% to 25%. These discount rates were determined by an analysis of the risks associated with certain goodwill and other intangible assets. The resulting net cash flows to which the discount rates were applied were based on management’s estimates of revenues, operating expenses and income taxes from the assets with identified impairment indicators.

As a result of sequential declines in operating results, primarily due to the continued weak overall demand for on-line advertising and marketing services and changes in business strategies, management determined that the carrying value of goodwill and certain other intangible assets of Engage, Yesmail, ProvisionSoft’s subsidiary, AdForce, and AltaVista should be adjusted. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $524.1 million, $350.6 million, $241.8 million and $862.6 million, respectively, totaling $1.98 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 to adjust the carrying value of these intangible assets.

Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2001, CMGI announced its decision to cease funding of ExchangePath. In connection with this decision, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets of ExchangePath, principally goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges in the quarter ended January 31, 2001 of approximately $5.7 million. The Company also recorded other impairment charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 totaling approximately $13.8 million primarily related to certain intangible assets of Tallan.

74

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $609.5 million. As a result of a decline in operating and financial metrics at Tallan over the few quarters preceding the third quarter in comparison to the metrics forecasted at the time of acquisition, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets, principally goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges of $497.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2001. In addition, CMGI announced its decision to explore strategic alternatives for the businesses conducted by its subsidiaries, Activate, and AdForce. In connection with these decisions, management determined that the carrying value of certain intangible assets, principally goodwill, were permanently impaired and recorded impairment charges of approximately $30.4 million and $81.4 million related to Activate and AdForce, respectively, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2001.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling approximately $685.3 million. As a result of the continued decline in operating and financial metrics at certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, management determined that the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets exceeded the estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $384.4 million, $123.5 million, $96.0 million, $75.5 million, $4.2 million and $3.6 million related to Engage, AltaVista, MyWay, Tallan, Yesmail and uBid, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the goodwill and intangible balances.

The impairment factors evaluated by management may change in subsequent periods, given that the Company operates in a volatile business environment. This could result in additional material impairment charges in future periods.

The @Ventures III Fund consists of four entities, which co-invest in each investment made by the @Ventures III Fund. Approximately 78% of each investment made by the @Ventures III Fund is made by two entities, @Ventures III, L.P. and @Ventures Foreign Fund III, L.P. CMGI does not have a direct ownership interest in either of these entities, but CMGI is entitled to approximately 2% of the cumulative net capital gains realized by both entities (after return of certain priority amounts to the investors in such entities) as a result of its ownership of an approximately 10% interest in the general partner of each of such entities, @Ventures Partners, III, LLC (@Ventures Partners III). The Company has committed to contribute up to $56 million to its limited liability company subsidiary, CMG@Ventures III, equal to 19.9% of total amounts committed to the @Ventures III Fund, of which approximately $54.6 million has been funded as of July 31, 2002. CMGI owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to approximately 80% of the cumulative net capital gains realized by CMG@Ventures III. @Ventures Partners III is entitled to the remaining 20% of the net capital gains realized by CMG@Ventures III. The remaining 2% invested in each @Ventures III Fund investment is provided by a fourth entity, @Ventures Investors, LLC, in which CMGI has no interest. The Company’s Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer has an individual ownership interest in @Ventures Investors and, as a member of @Ventures Partners III, is entitled to a portion of net gains distributed to @Ventures Partners III. CMG@Ventures III invested a total of approximately $29.7 million in 25 companies during fiscal year 2000, approximately $300,000 in one company during fiscal 2001, and did not invest in any companies during fiscal year 2002.

During fiscal year 2000, CMGI formed an expansion fund to the @Ventures III Fund to provide follow-on financing to existing @Venture III Fund investee companies pursuant to which CMGI’s commitment increased by $38.2 million through its limited liability company subsidiary CMG@Ventures Expansion. In fiscal year 2002 this amount was reduced to $20.1 million, of which $15.6 million has been funded as of July 31, 2002. CMG@Ventures Expansion has a structure that is substantially identical to the @Ventures III Fund, and CMGI’s interests in said fund are comparable to its interests in the @Ventures III Fund. CMG@Ventures Expansion invested a total of approximately $9.3 million in fourteen companies during fiscal year 2000, approximately $4.3 million in nine companies in fiscal year 2001, and approximately $.4 million in two companies during fiscal year 2002.

Also during fiscal year 2000, CMGI announced the formation of three new venture capital funds: CMGI@Ventures IV, CMGI @Ventures B2B, LLC (the B2B Fund) and CMGI @Ventures Technology Fund, LLC (the Tech Fund). CMGI owns 100% of the capital and is entitled to a percentage (ranging from approximately 80% to approximately 92.5%) of the net capital gains realized by CMGI@Ventures IV, the B2B Fund and the Tech Fund. During fiscal year 2000, CMGI@Ventures IV, the B2B Fund, and the Tech Fund invested approximately $28.9 million, $155.0 million and $37.3 million in three, eleven and six companies, respectively.

(14)    Borrowing Arrangements

At July 31, 2002, notes payable totaling approximately $94.3 million consisted of an obligation incurred in conjunction with the retirement of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (see note 16). At July 31, 2001, notes payable totaling approximately $33.6 million consisted of a borrowing arrangement entered into in connection with a hedge of the Company’s investment in Yahoo! common stock discussed below.

In August 1999, the Company issued two three-year notes totaling $220.0 million to Compaq (now HP) as consideration for the Company’s acquisition of AltaVista. The notes bore interest at an annual rate of 10.5% and were due and payable in full in August 2002. Interest was due and payable semiannually on each February 18 and August 18 until the notes were paid in full. Principal and interest payments due on the notes were payable in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, other marketable securities, or any combination thereof at the option of CMGI.

In March 2000, the Company issued three short-term promissory notes totaling approximately $376.9 million as consideration for the Company’s acquisition of Tallán.

The Company executed the first tranche in April 2000 and received

83

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

approximately $106.4 million. The Company subsequently settled this tranche through the delivery of 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock in August 2000. In May 2000, the Company received approximately $68.5 million and $5.7 million upon the execution of the second and third tranches, respectively. The Company settled the second tranche for cash totaling approximately $33.6 million in October 2000. The Company settled the third tranche through the delivery of 47,684 shares of Yahoo! common stock in February 2001. In November 2000, the Company entered into anew agreement to hedge the Company’s investment in 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock. The Company received approximately $31.5 million of cash in connection with this agreement. On August 1, 2001, the Company settled its remaining hedge arrangement on its shares of Yahoo! common stock through the delivery of 581,499 shares of Yahoo! common stock.

In October 2001, the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, AltaVista and NaviSite, entered into agreements with HP, a significant stockholder of CMGI, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hewlett-Packard Financial Services (HPFS), formerly Compaq Financial Services. NaviSite purchased and recorded equipment from HPFS effective August 1, 2001, with a fair market value of $9.6 million, previously leased by NaviSite under operating lease agreements expiring through 2003, in exchange for a note payable of approximately  $35.0 million. Accordingly, as the fair value of the equipment, based on an independent appraisal, was less than the associated debt obligation, NaviSite recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 of approximately $27.4 million. The $35.0 million due to HPFS was executed in the form of a convertible note payable to HPFS in the total amount of $55.0 million on November 8, 2001, as described below.

Additionally, under the terms of these agreements, AltaVista agreed to purchase certain equipment that it had previously leased from HPFS under operating and capital lease agreements in exchange for a cash payment of $20.0 million. Based on an independent appraisal, the fair market value of the equipment was determined to be $7.9 million. As the fair market value of the equipment was less than the sum of the cash payment and the carrying value of the equipment under capital lease agreements, net of the remaining obligations, AltaVista recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets in fiscal year 2002 of approximately $7.6 million. On November 8, 2001, AltaVista completed and recorded the purchase of this equipment.

In November 2001, as part of the agreement with HPFS, NaviSite received $20.0 million in cash from HPFS in exchange for a six-year convertible note payable. This note, which also relates to the $35.0 million equipment purchase described above, bears interest at 12% and requires payment of interest only for the first three years from the date of issuance. A portion of the interest payable to HPFS in the first two years may be paid in NaviSite common stock. Principal and interest payments are due on a straight-line basis commencing in year four until maturity on the sixth anniversary from the issuance date. The convertible note payable is secured by substantially all assets of NaviSite and cannot be prepaid. The principal balance may be converted into NaviSite common stock at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity at a conversion rate of $0.26 per share. The conversion rate of $0.26 results in beneficial conversion rights for HPFS. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion rights amounted to approximately $36.0 million, which has been reflected as a reduction of the carrying value of the convertible notes payable and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes. As of July 31, 2002, approximately $4.3 million has been amortized into interest expense.

In November 2001, as part of these agreements, HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for $75.0 million in cash, approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock and CMGI’s 49% ownership interest in its affiliate, B2E Solutions, LLC, of which HP had previously owned the remaining 51%. As a result, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $131.3 million, net of income taxes million related to the extinguishment of the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable to HP. The gain was calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the notes payable plus accrued interest thereon, less the carrying value

of the consideration exchanged. The carrying value of the consideration approximated fair market value at the date of the transaction.

SalesLink’s term notes payable to a bank provide for the option of interest at LIBOR or Prime, plus in either case, an applicable margin based on SalesLink’s leverage ratio (3.875% and 7.25% effective rates at July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively). The bank term notes outstanding at July 31, 2002 provide for repayment in quarterly installments through October 2005.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In December 1999, Neil Braun, a former officer of iCAST Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“iCAST”), filed a complaint in United States District Court, Southern District of New York naming the Company, iCAST and David S. Wetherell as defendants. In the complaint, Mr. Braun alleged breach of contract regarding his termination from iCAST and claimed that he was entitled to acceleration of options to purchase CMGI common stock and iCAST common stock, upon his termination, under contract and promissory estoppel principles. Mr. Braun also claimed that, under quantum meruit principles, he was entitled to lost compensation. Mr. Braun sought damages of approximately $50 million and requested specific performance of the acceleration and exercise of options. In August 2001, the Court (i) granted summary judgment dismissing Mr. Wetherell as a defendant and (ii) granted summary judgment, disposing of Mr. Braun’s contract claim. In February 2002, the Court granted summary judgment disposing of Mr. Braun’s promissory estoppel claim. Trial on the quantum meruit claim was held in March 2002 and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Braun and against the Company in the amount of $113,482.24. As to iCAST, the jury found that Mr. Braun had not proven his claim. The Company filed a motion for directed verdict, which motion sought to set aside the jury verdict against the Company. Such motion was denied. In May 2002, Mr. Braun appealed the Court’s dismissal of his contract and promissory estoppel claims against iCAST and the Company. Full briefing on the appeal is not yet complete and no argument date has yet been set.

In August 2001, Jeffrey Black, a former employee of AltaVista, filed a complaint in Superior Court of the State of California (Santa Clara County) in his individual capacity as well as in his capacity as a trustee of two

family trusts against the Company and AltaVista alleging certain claims arising out of the termination of Mr. Black’s employment with AltaVista. As set forth in the complaint, Mr. Black is seeking monetary damages in excess of $70 million. The Company and AltaVista each believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. In March 2002, the court ordered the entire case to binding arbitration in California. In June 2002, Mr. Black petitioned the California Court of Appeal for a writ prohibiting enforcement of the order compelling arbitration of his cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. In July 2002, the Court of Appeal denied Mr. Black’s petition. In August 2002, Mr. Black submitted the matter before the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator was appointed on October 7, 2002. A date for the arbitration has not yet been set.

On January 28, 2002, Mark Nutritionals, Inc. (“MNI”) filed suit against AltaVista in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division. The claims against AltaVista include unfair competition and trademark infringement and dilution, under both federal law and the laws of the State of Texas. MNI is seeking compensatory damages in the amount of $10,000,000 and punitive damages. AltaVista believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. AltaVista filed its answer on March 1, 2002, denying the allegations. AltaVista is entitled to indemnification by a third party with respect to this matter.

On April 16, 2002, NCR Corporation filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against uBid. The complaint alleges that uBid has infringed four patents held by NCR and seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. uBid believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. On May 28, 2002, uBid filed its answer to the complaint, denying the allegations.

On February 26, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell, George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties by the Company and the individual defendants, and violations of Delaware law. The complaint requests, among other things, that the court (i) enjoin Engage from effecting a proposed reverse stock split, (ii) enjoin the issuance of shares of Engage common stock to the Company upon conversion of promissory notes previously issued by Engage to the Company, (iii) award rescissory relief if the reverse stock split and stock issuances are consummated, and (iv) award the plaintiff compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses. On February 28, 2002, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied a request by the plaintiffs for the scheduling of a preliminary injunction hearing, and denied a request to allow expedited discovery in the lawsuit. In May 2002, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In addition to the requests stated in the original complaint, the amended complaint requests that the court (i) enjoin a proposed merger by and among the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Engage (the “Merger”), and (ii) declare the Merger not to be entirely fair to the plaintiffs. On August 2, 2002, this matter was consolidated with the related matters set forth in the following two paragraphs. In light of the September 9, 2002 transaction in which the Company divested all of its equity and debt ownership interests in Engage, on October 18, 2002, all parties submitted to the Court a stipulated order agreeing to dismiss, with prejudice as to the named plaintiffs only, this matter as moot. The stipulated order further provides that the Court shall retain jurisdiction over the matter to consider any application for attorney’s fees and expenses submitted by plaintiffs or their counsel.

On May 21, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, Engage and the individual members of the Board of Directors of Engage (David S. Wetherell, George A. McMillan, Christopher M. Cuddy, Edward M. Bennett and Peter J. Rice). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint requests, among other things, that the Court (i) enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, the Merger, (ii) rescind the Merger (in the event it is consummated) or grant the plaintiffs rescissory damages, (iii) direct that the defendants account to plaintiffs for all damages caused to the plaintiffs and any special benefits obtained as a result of alleged unlawful conduct, and (iv) award the plaintiffs the costs and disbursements (including attorneys’ fees) relating to this action. On August 2, 2002, this matter was consolidated with the related matters set forth in the following and preceding paragraphs.

Bennett, Christopher M. Cuddy, George A. McMillan, Peter M. Rice, David S. Wetherell and Andrew J. Zimmon (officers and directors of Engage). The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint requests, among other things, that the Court (i) enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, the Merger, (ii) rescind the Merger (in the event it is consummated) or grant the plaintiffs rescissory damages, (iii) direct that the defendants account to plaintiffs for all profits and any special benefits obtained as a result of alleged unlawful conduct, and (iv) award the plaintiffs the costs and disbursements (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees) relating to this action.

The Company is also a party to litigation which it considers routine and incidental to its business. Management does not expect the results of any of these actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation or financial condition.

(16)    Retirement of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On June 29, 1999, CMGI completed a $375 million private placement of 375,000 shares of newly issued Series C Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred Stock). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock had a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Company paid a semi-annual dividend of 2% per annum, in arrears, on June 30 and December 30 of each year at the Company’s option, in cash or through an adjustment to the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock. Such adjustments, also increased the number of shares into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock was segregated into three separate tranches of 125,000 shares each. The shares in each tranche had identical rights and preferences to shares in other tranches except as to conversion price. The three tranches were convertible into common stock at prices of $45.72, $37.58 and $37.66 per share prior to June 30, 2002. The conversion price calculated for each tranche was also subject to adjustment for certain actions taken by the Company. The Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into common stock by the holders any time and would automatically convert into common stock on June 30, 2002 at a conversion price equal to the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock on the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to June 30, 2002. The Series C Preferred Stock was redeemable at the option of the holders upon the occurrence of certain events.

In November 2001, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to privately negotiated stock exchange agreements with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. Under these agreements, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $100.3 million in cash, approximately 34.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and an obligation to deliver, no later than December 2, 2002, approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock.

In addition, due to the delayed delivery obligation with respect to the PCCW shares, the Company agreed to make cash payments to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, on the dates and in the aggregate amounts as follows: approximately $3.7 million on February 19, 2002, approximately $3.5 million on May 17, 2002, approximately $3.8 million on August 19, 2002, approximately $3.7 million on November 19, 2002 and approximately $0.5 million on December 2, 2002. The obligation to make payments ceases upon delivery of the PCCW shares and any payment due for the period during which the PCCW shares are delivered to the former holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be reduced on a pro rata basis. The Company has made the first three cash payments to the former shareholders as scheduled.

As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized an increase in the stockholders’ equity section of the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $63.5 million. The gain was calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock less the carrying value of the consideration exchanged at the date of the transaction. The carrying value of the consideration exchanged approximated fair market value at the date of the transaction. Additionally, the Company has reclassified its investment in PCCW shares from “Other assets” to “Trading security” and, in accordance with SFAS No. 115, recognized a pre-tax gain in the Consolidated Statements of Operations of approximately $19.6 million. The liability related to the obligation to deliver the PCCW stock is carried at market value and has been classified as a current note payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in market value of this note payable are recorded through “Interest expense” and offset any changes in the market value of the PCCW stock, which are reflected in “Other gains (losses), net,” resulting in no net impact to the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(17)    Stockholders’ Equity

In May 2000, stockholders of CMGI approved an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 405,000,000 to 1,405,000,000 shares.

In January 2000, the Company effected a 2-for-1 common stock split in the form of a stock dividend. Accordingly, all data shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect these events.

Effect of subsidiaries’ equity transactions during fiscal 2000 was primarily related to the equity transactions of Engage, AltaVista, ProvisionSoft and NaviSite. In April 2000, Engage completed its acquisition of Flycast and Adsmart from CMGI. As a result of this transaction, CMGI received approximately 64.3 million shares of Engage stock and the Company’s ownership percentage in Engage increased from approximately 81% to 87%. A decrease of approximately $54.0 million has been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity to reflect the decrease in the Company’s net equity in Engage as a result of Engage’s purchase of Flycast and Adsmart. In June 2000, CMGI invested $50.0 million in Engage in exchange for approximately 3.3 million shares of Engage common stock. As a result of the transaction, the Company’s ownership percentage in Engage remained approximately 87%. A decrease of approximately $5.1 million has been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity as a result of the transaction. During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, AltaVista acquired Raging Bull and Transium in exchange for AltaVista common stock. In addition, during the third quarter, AltaVista also issued shares of its stock to CMGI and HPFS to satisfy AltaVista’s borrowings from CMGI and HPFS. As a result of these transactions, CMGI’s ownership in AltaVista decreased from approximately 82% to 78%. An increase of approximately $38.8 million has been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a result of these transactions. During April and May 2000, ProvisionSoft completed a private placement of approximately 2.7 million preferred shares raising approximately $60.0 million in net proceeds. With these transactions, the Company’s ownership percentage in ProvisionSoft decreased from 100% to approximately 85%. An increase of approximately $30.0 million, net of deferred income taxes, has been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a result of ProvisionSoft’s private placement of its stock. In May 2000, CMGI invested $50.0 million in NaviSite in exchange for approximately 981,000 shares of NaviSite common stock. As a result of the transaction, the Company’s ownership percentage in NaviSite remained approximately 70%. A decrease of approximately $14.7 million, net of deferred income taxes, has been recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a result of the transaction.

During fiscal 2000, the Company completed stock exchanges with four companies. In November 1999, the Company received approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW common stock in exchange for approximately 8.2 million shares of CMGI common stock. In April 2000, the Company received approximately 1.7 million shares of Netcentives common stock in exchange for approximately 425,000 shares of CMGI common stock. In May 2000, the Company received approximately 8.0 million shares of Primedia common stock in exchange for approximately 1.5 million shares of CMGI common stock. In July 2000, the Company received approximately 1.7 million shares of Divine common stock in exchange for approximately 372,000 shares of CMGI common stock.

During fiscal 2001, CMGI received approximately 241.0 million shares of PCCW stock in exchange for approximately 13.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. During fiscal 2001, the Company issued approximately 30.2 million shares of its common stock as payment of principal and interest totaling approximately $391.6 million related to notes payable that had been issued in the Company’s acquisition of

Tallán. Also during fiscal 2001, the Company issued approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock, valued at approximately $23.0 million, to HPFS to satisfy interest due on the Company’s notes payable related to its acquisition of AltaVista.

During fiscal 2002, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for approximately 34.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock as well as additional consideration. The Company issued approximately 5.4 million shares of its common stock as payment for the first quarter interest due on the HP note payable. Also during fiscal 2002, the company reached an agreement with HP, in which HP agreed to deem the Company’s $220.0 million in face amounts of notes payable, plus the accrued interest thereon, paid in full in exchange for approximately 4.5 million shares of CMGI common stock as well as additional consideration.

(18) Stock Option Plans

The Company currently awards stock options under three plans: the 2002 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan (2002 Plan), the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) which had replaced the 1986 Stock Option Plan (1986 Plan) and the 1999 Stock Option Plan For Non-Employee Directors (1999 Directors’ Plan), which replaced the 1995 Directors’ Plan (1995 Directors’ Plan). No options granted under the 1995 Directors’ Plan remain in effect. Options granted under the 2002 Plan and the 2000 Plan are generally exercisable in equal cumulative installments over a four-to-ten year period beginning one year after the date of grant.

In addition, the Company assumed several stock option plans of companies which were acquired during fiscal 2000. Options to purchase a total of approximately 10.2 million shares of CMGI common stock were assumed. The terms and conditions of these assumed options were consistent with the terms of the plans under which they were initially granted by the acquired companies.

In March 2002, the Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Plan, pursuant to which 4,150,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events). In May 2002, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2002 Plan in which the total shares available under the plan were increased to 19,150,000.

Under the 2002 Plan, non-statutory stock options or restricted stock awards may be granted to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ employees, other than those who are also officers or directors, as defined. The Board of Directors administers this plan, approves the individuals to whom options will be granted, and determines the number of shares and exercise price of each option. Outstanding options under the 2002 Plan at July 31, 2002 expire through 2009.

In October 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Plan, pursuant to which 15,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events). No further option grants will be made under the 1986 Plan, however all outstanding options under the 1986 Plan remain in effect.

Under the 2000 Plan, non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options may be granted to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ employees, consultants, advisors or directors, as defined. The Board of Directors administers this plan, approves the individuals to whom options will be granted, and determines the number of shares and exercise price of each option. Outstanding options under the 2000 Plan at July 31, 2002 expire through 2009.

CMGI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The 1999 Directors’ Plan, approved in fiscal year 2000, replaces the Company’s 1995 Directors’ Plan. Pursuant to the 1999 Directors’ Plan, 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were initially reserved. Each eligible director who is elected to the Board for the first time will be granted an option to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock (the “Initial Option”). Each Affiliated Director who ceases to be an Affiliated Director and is not otherwise an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates will be granted, on the date such director ceases to be an Affiliated Director but remains as a member of the Board of Directors, an Initial Option to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock under the plan. Each Initial Option will vest and become exercisable as to 1/36th of the number of shares of common stock originally subject to the option on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the optionee serves as a director on such monthly anniversary date. On each anniversary of the grant of the Initial Option to an eligible director, each eligible director will automatically be granted an option to purchase 24,000 shares of common stock (an “Annual Option”), provided that such eligible director serves as a director on the applicable anniversary date. Each Annual Option will vest and become exercisable on a monthly basis as to 1/12th of the number of shares originally subject to the option commencing on the 37th month after the grant date, provided that the optionee then serves as a director on such monthly anniversary date. Outstanding options under the 1999 Directors’ Plan at July 31, 2002 expire through 2012.

The status of the plans during the three fiscal years ended July 31, was as follows:

SFAS No. 123 sets forth a fair-value based method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply APB No. 25 to account for its stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation cost for awards in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value method set forth under SFAS No. 123, the pro forma effect on the Company’s net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:

	Years Ended July 31,
	2002			2001			2000
	(in thousands, except per share data)
Pro forma net loss	$	(829,306	)	$	(5,896,632	)	$	(2,108,145	)

Diluted	$	(2.18	)	$	(17.89	)	$	(8.06	)

The fair value of each stock option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted average assumptions:

	Years Ended July 31,
	2002		2001		2000
Volatility	97.1	%	126.9	%	103.4	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.6	%	4.2	%	6.3	%
Expected life of options (in years)	5.9		4.4		3.1

The weighted average fair value per share of options granted during fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000 was $0.66, $2.34, and $33.85, respectively.

The effect of applying SFAS No. 123 as shown in the above pro forma disclosure is not likely to be representative of the pro forma effect on reported income or loss for future years as SFAS No. 123 does not apply to awards made prior to fiscal 1996.

(19)    Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On October 4, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan). The purpose of the Plan is to provide a method whereby all eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of common stock. Under the Plan, employees may purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions. During fiscal year 2001, the Plan was amended to reserve 1.0 million shares for issuance thereunder.

During fiscal year 2002, the Plan was further amended to increase the aggregate number of shares to 3.0 million.

At the beginning of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, commencing with February 1, 1995, participants are granted an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an option price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on either the first business day or last business day of the applicable quarterly period, whichever is lower.

Employees purchased 614,229, 752,705, and 118,719 shares of common stock of the Company under the Plan during fiscal years 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

Goodwill and other intangible assets		28,372
Additional paid in capital		9,905

The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended July 31, 2002 was a decrease of $122.6 million. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against the gross deferred tax asset since management believes that after considering all the available objective evidence, both positive and negative, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to historical evidence, it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $1.1 billion and $959.5 million, of which, approximately $799.2 million and $661.3 million, respectively, are subject to significant limitations. The federal net operating losses will expire from 2009 through 2022 and the state net operating losses will expire from 2003 through 2017. A portion of the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards is subject to significant limitation, including losses of majority owned subsidiaries not included in

An ownership change occurs when the ownership percentage of 5% or greater stockholders changes by more than 50% over a three-year period. As described in the Subsequent Events (note 23) CMGI divested of its interest in Engage, NaviSite and Equilibrium. These transactions severely limit the net operating losses attributable to these companies. Furthermore, pre-acquisition net operating losses may not be utilizable in future years in the event of a substantial discontinuation of the acquired business within two years of the acquisition date.

Income tax expense attributable to income (loss) from continuing operations differs from the computed expense computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35 percent to pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations as a result of the following:
