GSV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Through its Internet incubator and investment operations, the Company aims
to identify and develop attractive early stage Internet companies, and to
provide these companies, as needed, with management, marketing, financing
(including early stage seed capital), human resources, accounting resources, use
of its facilities and its extensive expertise in business development. In
exchange for these services the Company will seek equity positions in these
companies commensurate with the level and nature of services provided and the
stage of their development.
Prior to February 2000 the company was an online consumer and direct
response retailer, when in early February 2000 it announced a change in its core
strategy to Internet incubator and investment company . Since that time the
company has closed two operating divisions, Cybershop.com and electronics.net,
and on August 14, 2000 sold its remaining retailing subsidiary, Tools for
Living, to the former owners of Tools for Living. Tools for Living was purchased
by the Company in June 1999.
The information presented as of June 30, 2000, and for the six-month
periods ending June 30, 2000 and 1999, is unaudited, but, in the opinion of
management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for the fair presentation of
the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2000, the results of its
operations for the six -month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and its cash
flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The consolidated
financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for
the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation.
3. Discontinued Operations
Consistent with the change to its Internet incubator and investment
strategy, in February of 2000 the Company began the process of discontinuing its
two online retailing divisions, Cybershop.com and electronics.net. The
operations of the Cybershop.com division were discontinued in February of 2000
and in the same month the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell
electronics.net to two former executives of the Company. The letter of intent
was subsequently terminated, and in May of 2000 electronics.net was also
discontinued. In August of 2000, the Company sold its remaining retailing
subsidiary, Tools for Living (purchased by the Company in June 1999) to two
executives of Tools for Living, who were also the former owners of Tools for
Living, for consideration including (i) approximately 896,000 shares of common
stock of GSV, Inc., (ii) the purchasers' assumption of the liabilities of Tools
for Living, and (iii) the release of all obligations owing by the Company to the
former owners including the obligations under their respective employment
agreements. This sale substantially completes the Company's divestiture of its
retailing assets and the transition to its recently adopted Internet incubator
and investment strategy.
5
As a result, the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
reflect Cybershop.com, electronics.net and Tools for Living as discontinued
operations. The measurement date for the closing of Cybershop.com was December
31, 1999. An estimated loss on disposal relating to Cybershop.com of $435,000
was reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1999. Actual results for the six months ended June 30, 2000
for Cybershop.com included operating losses of $307,000, a $1,000,000 gain on
the sale of the cybershop.com domain name, and reductions in the carrying
amounts of current assets and fixed assets of $120,000 and $415,000,
respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2000 the provision was
reduced by $444,000 reflecting lower than anticipated losses for Cybershop.com,
and is reflected within Loss on disposal of discontinued operations in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Total losses of $1,799,000 from discontinued operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 consist of $84,000 of losses related to electronics.net and
$1,715,000 of losses (including $1,487,000 of amortization of goodwill) related
to Tools for Living. For the second quarter of 2000 Tools for Living had net
income from discontinued operations of $260,000 before amortization of goodwill.
Total losses of $2,485,000 from discontinued operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 consist of $2,326,000 of losses related to Cybershop.com, $498,000
of losses related to electronics.net and $339,000 of income related to Tools for
Living. Losses associated with the closing of electronics.net and the sale of
Tools for Living of $2,000 and $11,883,000, respectively, are reflected within
Loss on disposal of discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited
consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
The loss on disposal associated with the sale of Tools for Living includes a
write off of approximately $11,650,000 related to unamortized goodwill, as well
as $234,000 of losses expected to be incurred from the measurement date through
the date of disposal. The measurement dates for the closing of electronics.net
and the sale of Tools for Living are March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000,
respectively. The consolidated net provision for discontinued operations as of
June 30, 2000 is $419,000. Net revenues applicable to electronics.net for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, during only four of which electronics.net was in
operation, was $340,000, and net revenues applicable to electronics.net for the
same period of the prior year was $615,000, for which electronics.net was in
operation for the full period. Net revenues applicable to Tools for Living
during the first and second quarter of 2000 were $4,214,000 and $2,389,000
respectively. Revenues applicable to Tools for Living for June 1999, the first
month of operation, were $1,240,000.
The carrying value of the remaining assets and liabilities of electronics.net as
of June 30, 2000 are as follows:

4. Investment
In conjunction with the sale of the operating assets of the discontinued
Cybershop.com operating division, in March of 2000, the Company completed the
sale of its cybershop.com domain name and customer lists. In exchange, the
Company received (i) $100,000 in cash and (ii) equity in a privately owned
company valued at approximately $900,000. The investment is treated as available
for sale and is valued on the cost basis in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 2000.
5. Shareholders' Equity
Pursuant to the terms of a private placement of equity securities of the
Company, completed on December 8, 1999, the Company issued 613,486 shares of
common stock in February 2000 upon the exercise of common stock warrants
("adjustable commons stock warrants"), at an effective exercise price of $.001
per share.
6. Stock Option Plan
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, options to purchase
approximately 900,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were granted, at
market value on date of grant, to employees under the 1998 Stock Option Plan.
7. Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net
loss per common share after effect of adjustable common stock warrants, as
explained below, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period as follows:

In calculating the effect on the basic and diluted net loss per common
share calculation, of the common stock issued as a result of the adjustable
common stock warrants exercised by the parties to the December 8, 1999 private
placement, the market value of the Company's common stock on the day before the
stock was issued, $5.16, was multiplied by the number of common shares issued
upon exercise of these warrants, resulting in a valuation for loss per common
share purposes of $3,163,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, the Company may publish statements which are not
historical fact, but are forward-looking statements relating to such matters as
anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological
developments, new products, investments in other companies, research and
development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from historical and anticipated
results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of
certain forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "believe," "goal," or "continue," or
comparable terminology that involves risks or uncertainties. Actual future
results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those
anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to,
those set forth under "Overview" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" included
in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations. Particular attention should be paid to the cautionary statements
involving the Company's limited operating history, the unpredictability of its
future revenues, the unpredictable and evolving nature of its key markets, the
Company's dependence on its strategic alliances and key suppliers and
distributors, and the risks associated with capacity constraints, systems
development, the management of growth, the inherent risks and uncertainties of
litigation, the risks of new business areas, as well as such risks (or others)
that exist to any portfolio company in which the Company invests. Except as
required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise. Readers, however, should carefully review the facts set forth in
other reports or documents that the Company has filed or files from time to time
with the SEC.
Overview
Through its Internet incubator and investment operations, the Company aims
to identify and develop attractive early stage Internet companies, and to
provide these companies, as needed, with management, marketing, financing
(including early stage seed capital), human resources, accounting resources, use
of its facilities and its extensive expertise in business development. In
exchange for these services the Company will seek equity positions in these
companies commensurate with the level and nature of services provided and the
stage of their development.
Prior to February 2000 the company was an online consumer and direct
response retailer, when in early February 2000 it announced a change in its core
strategy to Internet incubator and investment company. Since that time the
company has closed two operating divisions, Cybershop.com and electronics.net,
and on August 14, 2000 sold its remaining retailing subsidiary, Tools for
Living, to the former owners of that Company. Tools for Living was purchased by
the Company in June 1999.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999.
General and administrative: General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of payroll and payroll related expenses for administrative,
information technology, accounting, and management personnel, recruiting, legal
fees, and general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased by 18%, or $140,000 to $653,000 in the second quarter of 2000 from
$793,000 in the second quarter of 1999. The decrease in the current period is
the result of an increased emphasis on overhead reduction and capital
preservation.
Interest income, net: Interest income decreased $21,000 to $72,000 in the second
quarter of 2000 from $93,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The decrease is
primarily the result of a decrease in average cash and cash equivalents offset
by slightly higher interest rates.
Net Losses: Loss from continuing operations decreased by $119,000 from $700,000
in the second quarter of 1999, or ($0.09) per basic and diluted common share, to
$581,000 in the second quarter of 2000, or ($0.05) per basic and diluted common
share. Net loss in the second quarter of 2000 was $12,721,000, or ($1.19) per
basic and diluted common share, as compared to $1,873,000 or ($0.24) in the
second quarter of 1999. The increase in net loss in the second quarter of 2000
included a $11,656,000 net loss on disposal of discontinued operations,
primarily attributable to the sale of the Tools for Living Division as discussed
more fully below.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999.
General and administrative: General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of payroll and payroll related expenses for administrative,
information technology, accounting, and management personnel, recruiting, legal
fees, and general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased by 15%, or $214,000 to $1,227,000 in first six months of 2000 from
$1,441,000 in the same period of 1999. The decrease in the current period is the
result of an increased emphasis on overhead reduction and capital preservation.
Interest income, net: Interest income decreased $62,000 to $153,000 in the first
six months of 2000 from $215,000 in the same period of 1999. The decrease is
primarily the result of a decrease in average cash and cash equivalents offset
by slightly higher interest rates.
Net Losses: Loss from continuing operations decreased by $152,000 from
$1,226,000 in the first six months of 1999, or ($0.16) per basic and diluted
common share, to $1,074,000 in the same period of 2000, or ($0.10) per basic and
diluted common share. After the effect of adjustable common stock warrants, loss
per common share from continuing operations was ($0.40) in 2000. Net loss in the
first six months of 2000 was $14,314,000, or ($1.36) per basic and diluted
common share, as compared to $3,711,000 or ($0.48) in the same period of 1999.
After the effect of adjustable common stock warrants net loss per common share
was ($1.66) for the first six months of 2000. The increase in net loss in the
first six months of 2000 included a $11,441,000 net loss on disposal of
discontinued operations, primarily attributable to the sale of the Tools for
Living Division as discussed more fully below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operations increased $319,000, from $3,428,000 in the
first six months of 1999 to $3,747,000 in the first six months of 2000, as the
Company continues to resolve its accounts payable and accrued liabilities
related to the closed Cybershop.com and electronics.net operations, while it
actively reduces operating expenses going forward.
Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2000
was $29,000 as compared to $6,487,000 in the same period of the prior year. The
current periods use of cash related to the purchase of property and equipment,
primarily computer equipment, whereas the use of cash in the same period of the
prior year represented $6,281,000 related to acquisitions, primarily of Tools
for Living, as well as purchases of property and equipment of $206,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of
2000 was $87,000 as compared to $351,000 in the same period of the prior year.
Sources of cash during both periods were the result of proceeds on the exercise
of employee stock options.
The Company believes that its existing capital resources will enable it to
maintain its operations at existing levels for at least the next twelve months.
The Company is, however, currently considering the funding requirements
associated with its new Internet incubator and investment operations, including
the need for additional debt and/or equity financing. The sufficiency of the
Company's capital resources is substantially dependent upon the number of
investments the Company funds. Accordingly it is difficult to project the
Company's capital needs. However, the Company will evaluate potential
investments in terms of its then existing capital resources and the availability
of additional debt or equity financing and will ultimately decide on an
investment according to the sufficiency of those resources to fund the potential
investment as well as continuing operating requirements. There can be no
assurance that any additional financing or other sources of capital will be
available to the Company upon acceptable terms, if at all. The inability to
obtain additional financing, when needed, would have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results, and could
significantly slow the pace of development of its Internet incubator and
investment operations.
Discontinued Operations
As discussed above, in February of 2000 the Company began the process of
discontinuing its two online retailing divisions, Cybershop.com and
electronics.net. The operations of the Cybershop.com division were discontinued
in February of 2000 and in the same month the Company entered into a letter of
intent to sell electronics.net to two former executives of the Company. The
letter of intent was subsequently terminated, and in May of 2000 electronics.net
was also discontinued. In August of 2000, the Company sold its remaining
retailing subsidiary, Tools for Living (purchased by the Company in June 1999)
to two executives of Tools for Living, who were also the former owners of Tools
for Living, for consideration including (i) approximately 896,000 shares of
common stock of GSV, Inc., (ii) the purchasers' assumption of the liabilities of
Tools for Living, and (iii) the release of all obligations owing by the Company
to the former owners including the obligations under their respective employment
agreements. This sale substantially completes the Company's divestiture of its
retailing assets and the transition to its recently adopted Internet incubator
and investment strategy.
10
As a result, the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
reflect Cybershop.com, electronics.net and Tools for Living as discontinued
operations. The measurement date for the closing of Cybershop.com was December
31, 1999. An estimated loss on disposal relating to Cybershop.com of $435,000
was reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1999. Actual results for the six months ended June 30, 2000
for Cybershop.com included operating losses of $307,000, a $1,000,000 gain on
the sale of the cybershop.com domain name, and reductions in the carrying
amounts of current assets and fixed assets of $120,000 and $415,000,
respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2000 the provision was
reduced by $444,000 reflecting lower than anticipated losses for Cybershop.com,
and is reflected within Loss on disposal of discontinued operations in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Total losses of $1,799,000 from discontinued operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 consist of $84,000 of losses related to electronics.net and
$1,715,000 of losses (including $1,487,000 of amortization of goodwill) related
to Tools for Living. For the second quarter of 2000 Tools for Living had net
income from discontinued operations of $260,000 before amortization of goodwill.
Total losses of $2,485,000 from discontinued operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 consist of $2,326,000 of losses related to Cybershop.com, $498,000
of losses related to electronics.net and $339,000 of income related to Tools for
Living. Losses associated with the closing of electronics.net and the sale of
Tools for Living of $2,000 and $11,883,000, respectively, are reflected within
Loss on disposal of discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited
consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
The loss on disposal associated with the sale of Tools for Living includes a
write off of approximately $11,650,000 related to unamortized goodwill, as well
as $234,000 of losses expected to be incurred from the measurement date through
the date of disposal. The measurement dates for the closing of electronics.net
and the sale of Tools for Living are March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000,
respectively. The consolidated net provision for discontinued operations as of
June 30, 2000 is $419,000. Net revenues applicable to electronics.net for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, during only four of which electronics.net was in
operation, was $340,000, and net revenues applicable to electronics.net for the
same period of the prior year was $615,000, for which electronics.net was in
operation for the full period. Net revenues applicable to Tools for Living
during the first and second quarter of 2000 were $4,214,000 and $2,389,000
respectively. Avenues applicable to Tools for Living for June 1999, the first
month of operation, were $1,240,000
Continued Listing on Nasdaq National Market
The Company's stock currently trades on the Nasdaq National Stock Market
under the symbol GSVI. During the second quarter of 2000 the Company was
notified by NASDAQ that it was failing to meet the minimum $1.00 bid price
requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Stock Market. The
Company has until September 18, 2000 to either demonstrate compliance with this
rule or appeal NASDAQ's determination regarding compliance. An appeal will stay
the delisting of the Company's common stock pending resolution of the appeal.
If, at anytime before September 18, 2000, the bid price of the Company's common
stock has been at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days,
NASDAQ will withdraw the notification, provided the Company is otherwise in
compliance with the continued listing requirements.
As part of its effort to maintain its NASDAQ listing the Board of
Directors has approved a one for five reverse stock split of the Company's
common stock, and the Company will hold a special meeting of stockholders on
August 30, 2000 in order to obtain shareholder approval. If effected, the
reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding.
11
The Company hopes that it will maintain its NASDAQ National Market
listing, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so. Should the
Company be unsuccessful, it intends to pursue alternative exchanges for trading
its securities, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
Subsequent Investments
Telephone.com
In July 2000, the Company closed a $1.5 million investment in
Telephone.com, Inc., an online business exchange and vertical marketplace
targeting the telecommunications industry. The investment is GSV's most
significant since its recent adoption of an Internet incubator and investment
strategy.
Under the terms of the transaction, GSV will receive $1.5 million
preferred stock convertible into common stock representing approximately a 9%
ownership interest in Telephone.com, along with warrants to purchase an
additional stake in Telephone.com.
MeetChina.com
In August 2000, the Company invested $200,000 in a joint venture with
Total Film Group, Inc. to invest in MeetChina.com, a leading Chinese B2B
e-commerce trading portal.
Litigation
In March and April 2000, twelve purported class actions entitled Ames v.
Cybershop, Ezeir v. Cybershop, Fuechtman v. Cybershop, Kaufman v. Cybershop,
Goldenberg v. Cybershop, Marino v. Cybershop, Waldarman v. Cybershop, Page v.
Cybershop, Young v. Cybershop, Johnson v. Cybershop, Hitzing v. Cybershop, and
Gerber v. Cybershop were filed in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey against the Company and certain of its current and former
officers and directors. The complaints in those actions allege that defendants
violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by
making or causing the Company to make materially false and misleading statements
about the Company. The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions.
