CENTERSPAN COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of CenterSpan Communications Corporation ("CenterSpan" or the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, such statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2000. The Company operates
within a single segment and therefore, no segment disclosures are included herein.
The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year or for other future interim periods.
Note 2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS are the same for all periods presented as the Company was in a loss position in all periods.
Potentially
dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted loss per share calculations because they would be antidilutive were as follows:

Note 3. Subsequent Event
In April 2000, the Company signed an amendment to its August 1999 license agreement with Intel Corporation ("Intel"). The amendment provides CenterSpan with
the exclusive rights to all current and future development of "Launch and Connect" technology, which is a significant component of the Company's Socket product. The amendment grants
CenterSpan exclusive rights, subject to performance obligations, to all engineering development, support, marketing and licensing of the "Launch and Connect" technology with a final expiration date of
April 21, 2005. In exchange for the exclusive license, the Company issued a warrant to Intel to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $13.41 per share. The warrant vested
immediately and expires on April 21, 2005. The warrant has been valued at $1.3 million using Black Scholes methodology. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting treatment of the warrant as
to whether a portion of the value may be capitalized or whether it will all be expensed currently.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Act provides a "safe
harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful
cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than statements of historical fact that the Company makes
in this Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. In particular, the development of the Company's software products; the Internet community, collaboration and communications market; and the Company's
future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean the statement is not forward-looking. The Company cannot
guarantee any of the forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially from those the Company
forecasts in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including some of those set forth in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company does not
intend to update any forward-looking statements due to new information, future events or otherwise.
Results of Continuing Operations
The continuing operations of the Company consist of its software business, which began in mid-1998. The Company's Internet community, collaboration and
communications business develops and markets Internet software products based on three cutting-edge technologies developed by the Intel Architecture Labs. These technologies facilitate PC-to-PC text
messaging and multi-point audio over the Internet, enabling communication and collaborative information sharing.
Revenue
At the end of the first quarter of 2000, the Company released a beta version of its new product, Socket. However, the Company did not generate any
revenues during the first quarter of 2000 from this release. The Company anticipates 2000 to be an investment year, in which the focus will be on the distribution of Socket to end-users
and does not expect to generate significant revenue until 2001. The Company is pursing an Internet e-commerce transaction business model, with revenue expected to be generated from Internet and
e-commerce partners. Revenue generated in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was from the sale of Talk n'Play and iConference, both products that the Company is no longer marketing. The Company has
approximately ten e-commerce partners from which it will begin earning commissions of between 5% and 12% of the retail price of merchandise sold to customers referred to them through
Socket. The Company anticipates closing out its beta program and releasing Socket 1.0 during the second quarter of 2000.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $246,000 (71.1% of revenue) and was generated from the retail sale of Talk n'Play and iConference
products.
6
Research and Engineering
Research and engineering expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, consultant fees and the cost of software used in product development.
Research and engineering expenses were $552,000 in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $37,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The Company is making significant investments in research and engineering
in 2000 related to its Internet community, collaboration and communications software business. The Company significantly increased the size of the engineering department during the first quarter of
2000 and at March 31, 2000 the Company had approximately 30 engineers.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in direct sales, partner development, consultant
fees, advertising, promotional materials, executive, legal, accounting and administrative personnel, professional services and general corporate expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2000 from $411,000 in the first quarter of 1999, primarily as a result of expanding the Company's workforce and marketing activities related to the
Internet community, collaboration and communications software business.
Interest Income
Interest income increased to $235,000 in the first quarter of 2000 from $0 in the first quarter of 1999 as a result of increased cash balances, which resulted
primarily from private placements of debt and equity securities during 1999 and the sale of the Company's hardware business in October 1999 for $15.0 million.
Provision for Income Taxes
A valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount of deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding the utilization of the net operating loss
carryforward.
Results of Discontinued Operations
The Company sold its hardware business in October 1999. The sale of the Company's hardware business was accounted for as discontinued operations and,
accordingly, its operations are segregated in the statements of operations.
Loss
from discontinued operations was $0 and $196,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The loss from discontinued operations represents the net activity
of the discontinued hardware business, including revenue and associated expenses. Revenue from discontinued operations were $0 and $7.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, certain expenses were allocated to continuing operations, based on the number of employees remaining with the software business, their related
employee costs and overhead for facilities and other related costs and corporate overhead expenses that were expected to represent continuing expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its activities to date with a combination of cash flow from operations, borrowed funds, proceeds from the sale of its hardware
business and proceeds from the sale of equity
7
securities.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had $14.7 million of working capital and a current ratio of 6.0:1.0.
Net
cash used by operating activities was $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2000 primarily as a result of a loss from operations of $1.4 million and a $0.4 million decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is primarily a result of a decrease in trade purchases.
The
$2.3 million restricted cash relates to amounts held in escrow related to the sale of the Company's hardware business. The Company anticipates the cash being released from escrow
during the second or third quarter of 2000. The entire amount may not be released to the Company in certain circumstances that relate to the ability of the purchaser to renew a certain contract,
collect accounts receivable and sell through inventory that existed at the date of purchase.
The
Company received $784,000 in cash proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options during the first quarter of 2000.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 137").
SFAS 137 is an amendment to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 137 establishes accounting and reporting standards
for all derivative instruments. SFAS 137 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments and, accordingly, does not expect
the adoption of SFAS 137 to have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensationan Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 applies prospectively to new awards, exchanges of awards in a business combination,
modifications to outstanding awards, and changes in grantee status that occur on or after July 1, 2000, except for the provisions related to repricings and the definition of an employee, which apply
to awards issued after December 15, 1998. The provisions related to modifications to fixed stock option awards to add a reload feature are effective for awards modified after January 12, 2000. The
Company does not expect that this statement will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
