NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1999 (unaudited) 1. Business Description: Overview CAIS Internet, Inc. (the "Company") delivers end-to-end high-speed Internet access and content solutions. The Company operates two business segments: the visitor-based and multi-family networks segment provides high-speed Internet access and content solutions for hotels, apartment communities and other public areas using its patented OverVoice solution and IPORT server software; and the Internet services segment provides high-speed Internet access and content solutions for businesses and consumers, including digital subscriber line ("DSL") services using HyperDSL lines, always-on access solutions for ISPs and businesses, and web hosting and other Internet services. Organization CAIS Internet, Inc. was incorporated under the name CGX Communications, Inc. ("CGX") as a "C" corporation in Delaware in December 1997 to serve as a holding company for two operating entities, CAIS, Inc., a Virginia "S" Corporation, and Cleartel Communications Limited Partnership ("Cleartel"), a District of Columbia limited partnership. The Company completed a reorganization in October 1998 such that CAIS and Cleartel became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In February 1999, the Company spun-off Cleartel to the Company's stockholders (see Note 3) and changed its name from CGX Communications, Inc. to CAIS Internet, Inc. Initial Public Offering In May 1999, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock (the "IPO"). The Company sold 6,842,100 shares (including the over- allotment option), yielding net proceeds to the Company of approximately $118.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees and expenses of approximately $11.8 million. The Company used approximately $12 million of the net proceeds in the second quarter of 1999 to repay indebtedness and redeem shares of Series B cumulative mandatory redeemable convertible preferred stock. Risks and Other Important Factors The Company historically has experienced losses and negative cash flows due to the development and deployment of its services and execution of its business plan. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will generate positive cash flows or income from operations in the future. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $69.5 million. The Company expects that it will require additional financing to meet its anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months, and is actively exploring alternatives for such financing. If such sources of financing are insufficient or unavailable, or if the Company experiences shortfalls in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, the Company would curtail the planned roll-out of its services and reduce marketing and development activities. The Company is subject to various risks in connection with the operation of its business. These risks include, but are not limited to, regulations, dependence on effective billing and information systems, intense competition, rapid technological change, and any effects on the Company or its suppliers relating to the Year 2000 Issue. The Company's future plans are substantially dependent on the successful roll-out of its visitor-based and multi-family networks. Net revenues generated from visitor-based and multi-family networks were approximately $702,000 and $858,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its roll-out of services nor can there be any assurance that the Company will be successful in defending its related patent rights. Many of the Company's competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than the Company. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the 9 information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-1. Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated condensed financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These results include CAIS, Inc. for all periods presented, and Atcom, Inc. ("Atcom") and Business Anywhere USA, Inc. ("Business Anywhere") for the period from their respective acquisition dates in September, 1999 through the end of the third quarter. The Company acquired Atcom, which it renamed CAIS Software Solutions, and Business Anywhere in September 1999 (see Note 8). In February 1999, the Company spun-off its operator and long-distance services subsidiary, Cleartel, to its stockholders as a non-cash distribution (See Note 3). The spin-off has been presented as discontinued operations and, accordingly, the Company has presented its financial statements for all periods prior to that date in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30. All expenses related to members of senior management who continued with the Company are included within loss from continuing operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net Loss Per Share Basic and diluted loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Stock options and warrants are not reflected in diluted loss per share since their effect would be antidilutive. As of September 30, 1999, there were approximately 6,858,000 options and warrants that would have been included in this calculation had the effect not been antidilutive. Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting of Comprehensive Income", requires "comprehensive income" and the components of "other comprehensive income" to be reported in the financial statements and/or notes thereto. Since the Company does not have any components of "other comprehensive income", reported net income is the same as "comprehensive income" for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2000, and its purpose is to replace existing pronouncements with a single, integrated accounting framework for derivatives and hedging activities. The Company has not yet evaluated the effect of this standard on the financial statements. In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." It provides guidance on accounting for costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, for projects in progress and prospectively, with earlier application encouraged. The Company has adopted this standard which had no significant impact on its financial statements to date. Excess of Cost over Net Assets Acquired (Goodwill) Goodwill and other intangibles were recorded as a result of the acquisitions by the Company of 10 Capital Area Internet Service, Inc. ("Capital Area") in May 1996, and of Atcom and Business Anywhere in September 1999. Goodwill and acquired intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Amortization of goodwill and intangibles was approximately $1,163,000 and $1,440,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. Goodwill with respect to the Capital Area acquisition was fully amortized in May 1999. Non-cash compensation Non-cash compensation is recorded for stock options granted to certain executives at exercise prices less than the estimated fair market value at the dates of the grants. The non-cash compensation expense is recorded over the vesting periods of the options and was approximately $1,009,000 and $4,130,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively. Visitor-based and Multi-family Network Contract Rights The Company makes up-front contract payments to its contract partners in connection with entering into long-term master agreements for visitor-based and multi-family networks. These payments give the Company various installation and marketing rights to provide high speed Internet services to customers in hotels and apartment buildings. The net total balance of these payments was approximately $10,859,000 and $0 as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, and is included in intangible assets and goodwill in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The payments are amortized over the term of the agreements, ranging from five to seven years. Amortization expense of these costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 was approximately $69,000 for both periods. Short-Term Investments The Company considers all investments with original maturities of between 91 and 270 days inclusive to be short-term investments. Short-term investments consist of investment-grade securities. The carrying amount in the consolidated condensed balance sheets approximates fair value. Treasury Stock In connection with the acquisition of Atcom in September 1999, the Company purchased approximately 13,000 shares of its common stock at fair market value from a former shareholder of Atcom, which are currently being held by the Company. 3. Spin-off/Discontinued Operations: Through the date of the spin-off of Cleartel in February 1999, profits and cash flows from Cleartel were used to finance operating losses at the Company. This obligation of the Company as of February 12, 1999, was approximately $4,941,000 and was reduced to $1,991,000 in February 1999 upon cash payments of $1,500,000 and the Company's assumption of related party debt totaling $1,450,000 from Cleartel. The remaining obligation and additional transactions after the spin-off date were paid to Cleartel in May 1999. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company and Cleartel shared certain support services such as bookkeeping, information systems, and advertising and marketing support. After the spin-off of Cleartel in February 1999, the Company has been providing these services at cost plus a fixed percentage until Cleartel replaces this arrangement with its own services in 1999. Amounts charged for services are included as an offset to the respective operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. A summary of these transactions is as follows (in thousands, unaudited): Nine Months Ended September 30, ------------------ 1999 1998 ---- ---- Bookkeeping, MIS, advertising, and marketing support.. $141 $163 Office lease.......................................... $ 40 $122 4.

Extinguishment of Debt: In September 1998, the Company entered into a $7 million loan facility (the "Loan") with an investment banking firm. In connection with the Loan, the Company issued the investment banking firm warrants to acquire 3 percent of the fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or 390,000 shares at September 4, 1998. The $7 million loan was repaid in full from net proceeds from the IPO. The Company recorded debt discount costs of $1,226,000 attributable to the redeemable warrants issued and other direct financing costs in connection with the Loan. The unamortized debt discount and deferred debt financing costs were approximately $817,000 and $292,000, respectively, as of December 31, 1998. Upon 11 the early extinguishment of the Loan in May 1999, the Company recognized an extraordinary charge of $551,000 related to the write-off of the unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs. 6. Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants: On April 23, 1999, in connection with an amendment to the Company's master agreement with a hotel customer (the "Customer") to provide the Company with exclusive rights and to extend the contract term, the Company issued warrants to the Customer to purchase 66,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, as an additional contribution by the Company in support of the Customer's marketing of the Company's services. The warrants have been valued at their estimated fair value of $19.00 per share (or approximately $1,267,000 in the aggregate) based upon a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the warrants has been recorded as an intangible asset and will be amortized over the expected benefit life of the five year contract term. In connection with the warrants, the Customer received certain demand and incidental registration rights. The warrants expire on April 23, 2004. The Customer has a put option to sell all of the warrants (or shares of the Company issued pursuant to the exercise of the warrants) back to the Company at $19.00 per share. The put option expires ninety days following the earlier of: (1) the effective date of the first registration statement that includes any warrant shares for resale and (2) the date on which the Customer may sell all of the warrant shares within a three-month period pursuant to the 1933 Securities Act Rule 144. Due to the existence of the put rights, the value ascribed to the warrants will not be included within stockholders' equity until the put option expires. Following the completion of the IPO, the Company converted 2,827,168 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock into an equal number of common shares. In addition, the Company redeemed 745,645 Series B shares for cash totaling $3,000,000 (plus accrued dividends of $104,000), and converted the remaining Series B Shares into 81,946 shares of common stock. In September 1999, the Company issued 125,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Mandatory Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") and warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $12.00 per share to Qwest Communications Corporation ("Qwest") for total gross proceeds of $15,000,000, less approximately $40,000 of offering costs paid to third parties. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks prior to the Company's common stock with respect to dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled: (i) to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, cumulative dividends of $10.20 per annum per share; (ii) to a liquidation preference equal to the sum of $120.00 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends; (iii) to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible; and (iv) to certain demand and piggyback registration rights. Subject to certain limitations, each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at the ratio of ten common shares for each share of Series C Preferred Stock. The Company shall redeem (i) up to 41,667 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock by the second anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock; and (ii) the remaining shares of the Series C Preferred Stock upon the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock. Approximately $3.9 million of the proceeds received were allocated to the value of the warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $12.00 per share. The warrants have been valued at their estimated fair value of $7.70 per share (or approximately $3,851,000 in the aggregate) based on the Black-Scholes valuation model. The warrants expire on October 28, 2002. As the Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into common stock, the discount on the preferred stock (as a result of the allocation of proceeds to the warrants) was fully accreted on the date of issuance and is reflected as a dividend on preferred stock in the accompanying financial statements. 12 7. Commitments and Contingencies: Litigation On March 25, 1999, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against LodgeNet Entertainment Corp. ("LodgeNet") in Maryland U.S. District Court. The complaint charged LodgeNet with infringement of one of the OverVoice patents, which is directed to the delivery of high-speed audio and video signals over active telephone wiring. On September 15, 1999 the Company and LodgeNet entered into a settlement agreement, and on September 16, 1999 the Company submitted a Stipulation of Dismissal of the lawsuit, under terms satisfactory to the Company. The Company is not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of its management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operation. Network Capacity The Company and Qwest entered into a twenty-year Indefeasible Right of Use ("IRU") agreement, dated as of September 28, 1999. The Company purchased $44 million of capacity on Qwest's fiber network. The Qwest capacity will support the delivery of the Company's network services to 38 metropolitan areas across the United States. The Company also committed to purchase $10 million of Qwest's communications services over five years. The IRU agreement terminates the Company's $100 million commitment in the parties' June 1998 Memorandum of Understanding. Equipment Financing The Company and Nortel Networks, Inc. ("Nortel Networks") entered into a five-year, $30 million equipment financing line of credit, dated as of June 4, 1999. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had not yet borrowed under this credit facility, and $30 million was available. In addition, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Nortel Networks, dated as of April 1, 1999, and committed to purchase $10 million of Nortel equipment by April 1, 2000. In addition, the Company will be subject to a reduction in its purchase discount percentages after that date if its annual purchases do not exceed $10 million for the year ended April 1, 2001 and $9.9 million for the year ended April 1, 2002. The Company and Nortel Networks entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement effective as of September 7, 1999 to amend certain provisions of the original credit agreement. The Company and Cisco Systems Capital Corporation entered into a three- year, $50 million equipment financing line of credit, dated as of June 30, 1999. Under the facility, $25 million is available during the first year of the facility and an additional $25 million is available during the second year of the facility, provided the Company meets certain financial performance requirements. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had not yet borrowed under this credit facility, and $25 million was available. Deferred debt financing costs represent direct financing costs incurred in connection with entering into the equipment financing agreements. The Company accrued debt financing costs of approximately $1.3 million as of September 30, 1999 in connection with completing the Nortel and Cisco lines of credit. The deferred debt financing costs are being amortized over the terms of the equipment financing agreements and are included in interest expense. The amortization was approximately $162,000 and $177,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively. Regulatory Matters At the present time, ISPs like the Company are not subject to direct regulation by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") even though they provide Internet access through transmission over public telephone lines. However, as the growth of the Internet industry continues, there has been considerable discussion and debate about whether the industry should be subjected to regulation. This regulation could include universal service subsidies for local telephone services and enhanced communications systems for schools, libraries and certain health care providers. Local telephone companies could be allowed to charge ISPs for the use of their local telephone network to originate calls, similar to charges currently assessed on long distance telecommunications companies. In addition, many state and local government officials have asserted the right or indicated a willingness to impose taxes on Internet-related services and commerce, including sales, use and excise taxes. 8. Acquisitions In September 1999, the Company acquired Atcom, which it renamed CAIS Software Solutions, for a purchase price of approximately $30,856,000 in the form of shares of the Company's common stock, and options valued at approximately $10,131,000 based on the Black-Scholes valuation model to acquire shares of common stock. The Company issued approximately 2,493,000 shares of common stock valued at $12.375 per share, and options to acquire approximately 839,000 shares of common stock. The Company also incurred approximately $1,469,000 for direct acquisition costs. The Atcom transaction combines the Company's OverVoice hardware technology with Atcom's IPORT server software and kiosk products to deliver high speed Internet access solutions to hotels, apartment communities and public areas. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the operating results of CAIS Software Solutions have been included in the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis as follows: tangible assets, principally cash, accounts receivable and 13 property and equipment of approximately $3,163,000; assumed liabilities of approximately $2,481,000; and intangible assets including but not limited to acquired technology, existing work-force, installed customer base, and goodwill of approximately $41,774,000. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and may change upon final determination of the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company has not specifically identified amounts to assign to certain intangibles; changes in amounts allocated to such assets could result in changes to the amount of goodwill recorded. An amortization period of three years has been selected, which is expected in all material respects to be representative of the amortization expense that will result from the ultimate allocation to the specific intangible assets. In September 1999, the Company acquired Business Anywhere for a purchase price of approximately $200,000 in cash and $1,500,000 in the Company's common stock. The Company issued approximately 122,000 shares of common stock valued at $12.325 per share. The Company will issue $1,000,000 in additional common stock at each of the first and second annual anniversaries of the transaction based upon the fair market value of the stock at that time, provided Business Anywhere meets certain revenue targets. The Company also incurred approximately $94,000 for direct acquisition costs. The Business Anywhere transaction expands the Company's services to include Internet-ready twenty-four hour automated self- service business centers in hotels. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the operating results of Business Anywhere have been included in the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis as follows: tangible assets, principally cash, accounts receivable and property and equipment of approximately $658,000; assumed liabilities of approximately $687,000; and intangible assets including but not limited to acquired technology, existing work-force, installed customer base, and goodwill of approximately $1,822,000. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and may change upon final determination of the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company has not specifically identified amounts to assign to certain intangibles; changes in amounts allocated to such assets could result in changes to the amount of goodwill recorded. An amortization period of three years has been selected, which is expected in all material respects to be representative of the amortization expense that will result from the ultimate allocation to the specific intangible assets. The following pro forma results give effect to the foregoing acquisitions as if such transactions had been consummated on January 1, 1998 (in thousands except per share amounts, unaudited): Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 1998 -------- -------- Net revenues $ 7,896 $ 5,634 Net loss $(46,534) $(19,804) Basic and diluted loss per share $ (2.69) $ (1.59) Weighted-average common shares outstanding 17,310 12,449 9. Segment Reporting The Company has two reportable segments: visitor-based and multi-family networks ("Networks") and Internet Services (see Note 1). Networks includes the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, CAIS Software Solutions and Business Anywhere. The accounting principles of the segments are the same as those applied in the consolidated condensed financial statements. Since Networks is a new segment, its revenues and costs are being reported on an incremental basis without any allocations of corporate overhead. Interest is allocated based upon the respective percentage of losses before interest of the two segments. The evaluation of the Networks segment's performance is based on the accumulation of revenues and specific costs identified to Networks operations. The following is a summary of information about each of the Company's reportable segments that is used by the Company to measure the segment's operations (in thousands, unaudited): 14 Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 ------------------------------------- Internet Services Networks Consolidated ---------- ---------- ------------- Revenues $ 1,980 $ 702 $ 2,682 Depreciation and amortization 297 1,441 1,738 Interest income (expense), net 726 266 992 Segment losses (10,955) (4,009) (14,964) Segment assets 55,048 66,621 121,669 Expenditures for segment assets 46,926 7,633 54,559 Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 ------------------------------------- Internet Services Networks Consolidated ---------- ---------- ------------- Revenues $ 1,341 $ 16 $ 1,357 Depreciation and amortization 372 2 374 Interest income (expense), net (235) (60) (295) Segment losses (2,326) (589) (2,915) Segment assets 1,859 614 2,473 Expenditures for segment assets 482 512 994 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 ------------------------------------ Internet Services Networks Consolidated ---------- ---------- ------------- Revenues $ 5,245 $ 857 $ 6,102 Depreciation and amortization 972 1,513 2,485 Interest income (expense), net 250 150 400 Segment losses (21,954) (6,821) (28,775) Segment assets 55,048 66,621 121,669 Expenditures for segment assets 50,214 10,575 60,789 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 ------------------------------------ Internet Services Networks Consolidated ---------- ---------- ------------- Revenues $ 3,903 $ 21 $ 3,924 Depreciation and amortization 942 2 944 Interest income (expense), net (394) (75) (469) Segment losses (5,884) (1,628) (7,512) Segment assets 1,859 614 2,473 Expenditures for segment assets 652 736 1,388 15 The following is a reconciliation of the reportable segments' losses and assets to the Company's consolidated totals (in thousands, unaudited): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- -------- Losses Total losses for reportable segments $(14,964) $ (2,915) $(28,775) $ (7,512) Income (loss) from discontinued operations - (249) (340) 116 Extraordinary item - - (551) - -------- -------- -------- -------- Consolidated net loss $(14,964) $ (3,164) $(29,666) $ (7,396) ======== ======== ======== ======== September 30, September 30, 1999 1998 ------------- ------------ Assets Total assets for reportable segments $ 121,669 $ 2,473 Total current assets, excluding reportable segment assets 69,482 11,332 Deferred financing and offering costs, net 1,425 476 Intangible assets and goodwill, net - 469 Receivable from officer 400 - Noncurrent assets of discontinued operations - 2,308 ------------ ------------ Consolidated total assets $ 192,976 $ 17,058 ============ ============ 16 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the Notes thereto contained herein under Item 1. The cautionary statements set forth below and elsewhere in this Report identify important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Overview The Company delivers end-to-end high-speed Internet access and content solutions. The Company operates two business segments: the visitor-based and multi-family networks segment provides high-speed Internet access and content solutions for hotels, apartment communities and other public areas using its patented OverVoice solution and IPORT server software; and the Internet services segment provides high-speed Internet access and content solutions for businesses and consumers, DSL services using HyperDSL lines, always-on access solutions for ISPs and businesses, and web hosting and other Internet services. The Company operates a clear-channel Internet and ATM network, and currently peers with public and private partners, and at national exchange points MAE East, MAE East ATM, MAE West, and AADS. The Company entered into an agreement with Qwest to expand the Company's network to 38 metropolitan areas across the United States. During 1998 and the first three quarters of 1999, the Company derived most of its revenue from the sale of various Internet services, including always-on Internet access services, web hosting and domain registration services and, to a lesser extent, dial-up Internet access. During the third quarter of 1999, the Company began to increase its visitor-based and multi-family networks revenues, as it began to install its services in various hotels and apartment communities, and acquire complementary businesses. The Company incurred significant costs and devoted substantial resources associated with the research, development and deployment of its visitor-based and multi-family networks services. The costs included equipment, contract labor for surveys and the actual property installation, and Internet bandwidth and local loop connection charges. The Company capitalizes the costs of installations in hotels and apartment buildings, including equipment and labor. Through its bandwidth purchase in the Qwest IRU, the Company has made a significant investment in its nationwide network infrastructure. The Company's business plan will require substantial capital to fully develop, deploy, and to fund start-up losses. The Company also plans to devote considerable sales and marketing resources to the sale of its services in hotels and apartment communities and its DSL services in the commercial and residential markets. The Company plans to continue to expand its research and development activities to develop new products and services to be offered using its patented OverVoice and IPORT technologies. The Company's nationwide deployment of its services, and the expansion of its network, will result in increased cost of services, selling, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures. The Company's ability to generate positive cash flow from operations and achieve profitability is dependent upon its ability to successfully expand its customer base for visitor- based and multi-familty networks and other services and achieve further operating efficiencies. The Company might not be able to achieve or sustain revenue growth, positive cash flow or profitability in the future. Key Developments in the Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Qwest investment and bandwidth purchase. Qwest invested $15 million in the Company in Series C Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $12.00 per share. Additionally, the Company and Qwest entered into a twenty-year IRU agreement. The Company purchased $44 million of capacity on Qwest's fiber network. The Qwest capacity will support the delivery of the Company's network services to 38 metropolitan areas by year- end 1999. The Company also committed to purchase $10 million of Qwest's communications services over five years. The IRU agreement terminates the Company's $100 million commitment in the parties' June 1998 Memorandum of Understanding. Cendant and VirtuaLINC. The Company entered into a five-year agreement with Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") to offer the Company's services to approximately 6,000 properties and 700,000 rooms of Cendant's hotel franchise systems. Cendant property names include Ramada (R), Howard Johnson(R), and Days Inns(R) and resort properties affiliated with Resort Condominiums International, LLC (RCI), Cendant's timeshare exchange company. 17 Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn. The Company entered into a master agreement to offer the Company's services to 60 hotels and 6,700 rooms access and content with Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn. The agreement marked the first brand standard for broadband Internet access in the extended stay hospitality market. Carlson Properties Worldwide. The Company entered into an agreement with VirtualLINC Corporation ("VirtuaLINC") to service approximately 450 Carlson hotels and 83,000 rooms, including hospitality brands like Radisson, and others. Tarragon Realty Trust. The Company entered into an agreement with Tarragon Realty Trust to provide its services as the in-residence solution for approximately 75 properties and 16,000 residences. Tarragon announced its plans to use the CAIS customer support, lobby Internet kiosk powered by IPORT, content and access system to create a property-wide network to serve its residents. Acquisition - CAIS Software Solutions (formerly Atcom, Inc.). The Company acquired Atcom (subsequently renamed CAIS Software Solutions) to combine the Company's OverVoice hardware technology with Atcom's IPORT server software and kiosk products to deliver high speed Internet access solutions to hotels, apartment communities and public areas, including like shopping centers, airports, travel plazas and lobbies and common areas. Acquisition - Business Anywhere. The Company acquired Business Anywhere to expand its public area services portfolio. Business Anywhere centers are self- operated, self-contained units that offer the most popular business services to travelers on-the-go, including round-the-clock access to printers, fax machines, copiers, and PCs with Internet connectivity. The services are activated by touch-screen, and are remotely monitored. Unisys. The Company entered into an alliance with Unisys Corporation to accelerate a full range of Unisys installation, maintenance, and end-user and network support services for CAIS Internet's solutions in hotels and apartment communities. The partnership mobilizes a global workforce of Unisys field operations, project managers and installers to install more than 200 hotel and apartment properties, or 60,000 units, per month. Business Segments Visitor-based and Multi-family Networks. The Company delivers high-speed Internet access and content solutions to hotels, apartment communities and other public areas on top of the property's existing telephone system at speeds up to 175 times faster than 56K dial-up modems. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had master contracts to roll-out services in approximately 6,700 properties and 870,000 units/rooms in: Hilton Hotels; John Q. Hammons hotels; Haverford Hotels; Town & Country Trust apartment communities; Tarragon Realty Investors; Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn; Carlson Properties; Cendant Corporation hotels in partnership with VirtuaLINC including Ramada, Howard Johnsons and Days Inn hotels; and trial agreements with several other hotel and apartment owner/operators. Internet Services. The primary services in the Company's Internet Services segment include HyperDSL, always-on access and web hosting: HyperDSL Services: The Company has initiated its roll-out of a new always-on, high-speed Internet access service using DSL technology under the name HyperDSL. The Company partners with Covad Communications Group to provide HyperLAN DSL services to small and medium-sized businesses, and Bell Atlantic to provide HyperLINK DSL services to the residential and SOHO (small office, home office) markets. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company began to offer HyperDSL services in nine additional U.S. metro areas, raising its service coverage to twelve metro areas. The Company intends to enter additional markets in 1999 and 2000 as it expands its network with Qwest. High-Speed Always-On Access and Other Services: The Company provides dedicated Internet access to businesses and other Internet providers, including T-1, fractional T-1, DS-3 and fractional DS-3 services. The Company also provides web hosting and collocation services. In addition, the Company provides dial-up and other narrowband connectivity services which are not marketed generally. Statements of Operations 18 The Company records revenues for all services, including installation fees, when the services are provided to customers. For visitor-based services in hotels and other public areas, the hotel or other partner bills the end-user customer and the Company bills the partner according to the parties' revenue sharing agreement. For multi-family services in apartment buildings, the Company bills the end-user directly. Amounts for services billed in advance of the service period and cash received in advance of revenues earned are recorded as unearned revenues and recognized as revenue when earned. Customer contracts for Internet access and web hosting services are typically for periods ranging from one month to three years. Internet access services typically require the customer to purchase equipment and incur the related installation fees. Revenues from equipment sales are recorded when the related equipment is shipped to the customer. Dial-up access customers typically subscribe to service contracts on a monthly or annual basis . Cost of services represents primarily recurring expenses for the lease of data facilities from national and local fiber providers. These costs include long haul bandwidth and local interconnection charges. Cost of services also includes charges for installation and customer equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are incurred in the areas of sales and marketing, customer support, network operations and maintenance, engineering, research and development, accounting and administration. Selling, general and administrative expenses will increase over time as the Company's operations, including the nationwide deployment of hotel and multi-family services and the expansion of its HyperDSL services, increase. In addition, significant levels of marketing activity may be necessary for the Company to build or increase its customer base among hotel guests and apartment residents to a significant enough size in a particular building or market. Any such increased marketing efforts may have a negative effect on earnings. Operating results for any period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. Also, the operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire year. Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 Net revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased 98% to approximately $2,682,000, from approximately $1,357,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Net revenues increased primarily due to an increase of $686,000 in visitor-based and multi-family network revenues, $284,000 in DSL revenues, $296,000 in Internet access services, and $59,000 in web hosting services. The increases were due to an increase in the number of properties and customers for these services, and the acquisitions of Atcom and Business Anywhere. Cost of services. Cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 1999 totaled approximately $2,558,000 or 95% of net revenues, compared to approximately $776,000 or 57% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $762,000 in visitor-based and multi-family network charges for equipment, bandwidth and network installation, $712,000 in additional nationwide bandwidth, and $308,000 in DSL charges for customer connectivity, equipment and installation. Selling, general and administrative.

This increase 19 resulted from an increase of $297,000 in depreciation of capital assets to support the expansion of the Company's network, $132,000 related to the amortization of purchased contract rights from visitor-based and multi-family network partners, and $935,000 related to the amortization of goodwill and intangibles as a result of acquisitions. Non-cash compensation. Non-cash compensation totaled approximately $1,009,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to approximately $356,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. This increase resulted from the amortization of deferred compensation related to additional stock options granted in 1999. Interest income (expense). Interest income (expense) totaled income of approximately $992,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to expense of approximately $295,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. This income total was attributable primarily to interest income earned from the proceeds of the IPO, offset by the amortization of financing costs related to the Company's equipment financing agreements. Loss from continuing operations. Loss from continuing operations totaled approximately $14,964,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to approximately $2,915,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, due to the foregoing factors. Income (loss) from discontinued operations. There was no income or loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 1999 due to the spinoff of Cleartel in February 1999. Loss from discontinued operations totaled approximately $249,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Net revenues.

The increases were due to an increase in the number of properties and customers for these services, and the acquisitions of Atcom and Business Anywhere. Cost of services. Cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled approximately $5,126,000 or 84% of net revenues, compared to approximately $2,243,000 or 57% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled approximately $22,813,000 or 374% of net revenues, compared to approximately $6,712,000 or 171% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from increases of $1,612,000 related to visitor-based and multi-family network payroll, $4,275,000 related to Internet services payroll, $1,469,000 related to visitor-based and multi-family network costs (e.g. marketing and professional fees and expenses), and $8,745,000 in advertising and other sales, marketing and administrative expenses. Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization totaled approximately $2,485,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to approximately $944,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase resulted from an increase of $556,000 in depreciation of capital assets to support the expansion of the Company's network, $175,000 related to the amortization of purchased contract rights from visitor-based and multi-family network partners, and $810,000 related to the amortization of goodwill and intangibles as a result of acquisitions. 20 Fair value of stock issued to third party for services. Fair value of stock issued to a third party for services totaled approximately $723,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. There was no comparable expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Non-cash compensation. Non-cash compensation totaled approximately $4,130,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to approximately $1,068,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase resulted from the acceleration of deferred compensation charges that occurred as a result of the IPO, and from the amortization of deferred compensation related to additional stock options granted in 1999. Interest income (expense). Interest income (expense) totaled income of approximately $400,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to expense of approximately $469,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This income total was attributable primarily to interest income earned from the proceeds of the IPO, offset by the amortization of financing costs related to the Company's financing agreements. Loss from continuing operations. Loss from continuing operations totaled approximately $28,775,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to approximately $7,512,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, due to the foregoing factors. Income (loss) from discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations totaled approximately $340,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to income of approximately $116,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease in income from discontinued operations of Cleartel resulted primarily from a reduction in net revenues generated from operator assisted telephone calls. Extraordinary item - early extinguishment of debt. Extraordinary item - early extinguishment of debt totaled approximately $551,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This charge was related to the write-off of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing fees associated with the repayment of the $7 million loan from an investment banking firm. There were no extraordinary items for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources Prior to the IPO, the Company financed its operations with various debt and private equity placements. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company's continuing operations were also financed in part from operating profits and cash flows generated from its now discontinued operation (Cleartel). Net cash used in operating activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $(18,006) and $(978) respectively. Cash used in operating activities in each period was primarily affected by the net losses caused by increased costs relating to the Company's expansion in infrastructure and personnel and sales and marketing activities for its Internet-related businesses. In May 1999, the Company completed the IPO of its common stock. The Company sold 6,842,100 shares (including the over-allotment option) of common stock for approximately $130 million, yielding net proceeds to the Company of approximately $118.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees and expenses. The Company used approximately $12 million of the net proceeds to repay indebtedness and redeem shares of Series B cumulative mandatory redeemable convertible preferred stock. At the completion of the IPO, the Company converted 2,827,168 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock into an equal number of common shares. In addition, the Company redeemed 745,645 Series B Shares for cash totaling $3,000,000 (plus accrued interest of $104,000), and converted the remaining Series B Shares into 81,946 shares of common stock. In September 1999, the Company issued 125,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share to Qwest for total gross proceeds of $15,000,000, less approximately $40,000 of offering costs paid to third parties. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks prior to the Company's common stock with respect to dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled: (i) to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, cumulative dividends of $10.20 per annum per share; (ii) to a liquidation preference equal to the sum of $120.00 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends; (iii) to 21 the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible; and (iv) to certain demand and piggyback registration rights. Subject to certain limitations, each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at the ratio of ten common shares for each share of Series C Preferred Stock. The Company shall redeem (i) up to 41,667 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock by the second anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock; and (ii) the remaining shares of the Series C Preferred Stock upon the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock. Approximately $3.9 million of the proceeds received were allocated to the value of the warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $12.00 per share. The warrants have been valued at their estimated fair value of $7.70 per share (or approximately $3,851,000 in the aggregate) based on the Black-Scholes valuation model. The warrants expire on October 28, 2002. As the Series C Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into common stock, the discount on the preferred stock (as a result of the allocation of proceeds to the warrants) was fully accreted on the date of issuance and is reflected as a dividend on preferred stock in the accompanying financial statements. The Company and Nortel Networks entered into a five-year, $30 million equipment financing line of credit, dated as of June 4, 1999. The line of credit bears interest at an annual rate of a commercial prime rate plus 3.75%. The financing requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants including EBITDA targets, revenue targets and leverage and debt service ratios. Borrowings under the financing are secured by a first priority lien on all Nortel Networks products purchased using the financing. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had not yet borrowed under this credit facility, and $30 million was available. In addition, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Nortel Networks, dated as April 1, 1999, and committed to purchase $10 million of Nortel equipment by April 1, 2000. The Company will be subject to a reduction in its purchase discount percentages after that date if its annual purchases do not exceed $10 million for the year ended April 1, 2001 and $9.9 million for the year ended April 1, 2002. The Company and Nortel Networks entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement effective as of September 7, 1999 to amend certain provisions of the original credit agreement. The Company and Cisco Systems Capital Corporation entered into a three- year, $50 million equipment financing line of credit, dated as of June 30, 1999. Under the facility, $25 million is available during the first year of the facility and an additional $25 million is available during the second year of the facility, provided the Company meets certain financial performance requirements. The line of credit bears interest at an annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 6.0%. The facility requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants including EBITDA targets, revenue targets and leverage and debt service ratios. Borrowings under the facility are secured by a first priority lien in all assets of the Company, other than its property securing the Nortel facility, in which assets Cisco will have a second priority lien. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had not yet borrowed under this credit facility, and $25 million was available. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $69.5 million. The Company expects that it will require additional financing to meet its anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months, and is actively exploring alternatives for such financing. If such sources of financing are insufficient or unavailable, or if the Company experiences shortfalls in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, the Company would curtail the planned roll-out of its services and reduce marketing and development activities. The Company from time to time engages in discussions involving potential business acquisitions. Depending on the circumstances, the Company may not disclose material acquisitions until completion of a definitive agreement. The Company may determine to raise additional debt or equity capital to finance potential acquisitions and/or to fund accelerated growth. Any significant acquisitions or increases in the Company's growth rate could materially affect the Company's operating and financial expectations and results, liquidity and capital resources. Impact of the Year 2000 Issue Many computer programs have been written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. This poses a problem at the end of the century because these computer programs may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This, in turn, could result in major system failures or miscalculations, and is generally referred to as the "Year 2000 issue." The Company's failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, or a failure of, the Company's normal business activities and 22 operations. The Company has formulated and, to a large extent, effected a plan to address Year 2000 issues. During 1998, the Company established a Year 2000 compliance program to coordinate appropriate activity and report to its Board of Directors with regard to Year 2000 issues. The Company is addressing the Year 2000 issue through a comprehensive assessment and resolution of both its internal systems and the systems of its external partners and suppliers. The Company's internal systems assessment and review consists of four-phases: . assessment; . analysis and planning; . conversion and testing; and . implementation. The Company's assessment of the Year 2000 problem has focused on conducting an inventory of existing systems, performing risk assessment, prioritizing systems, and determining resource needs and is substantially complete. The analysis and planning phase of the Company's Year 2000 compliance program has involved selecting corrective methods, developing certain standards, determining conversion sequences, and establishing a detailed time line for correcting Year 2000 issues and is substantially complete. The Company's conversion and testing phase which has included developing codes and purchasing known fixes, documenting the effort made, conducting unit and system tests, and scheduling data migration is substantially complete. As part of the implementation of its Year 2000 solution, the Company has moved various systems into production, installed third party solutions, updated operational procedures, and trained users. This implementation phase is substantially complete. The Company has completed assessment and remediation of critical systems. The Company likewise has conducted a four-phase review of the systems of its partners, suppliers, and other third parties (including equipment providers and other telecommunications service providers) to monitor both the vulnerability of such parties to the Year 2000 problem and any potential impact on the Company. First, the Company identified its critical partners, suppliers, and vendors. This phase involved requesting information from employees, analyzing responses, performing risk assessments, prioritizing systems, and determining resource needs and is fully complete. Secondly, the Company developed Year 2000 contact standards. This phase, which has involved developing questionnaires, drafting request letters, and gathering contact addresses and e-mails is substantially complete. Thirdly, the Company has begun receiving information through responses to its request letters, researching web sites, making phone contacts, and summarizing the results of the information received. Finally, the Company has focused on evaluating different systems, reviewing such information with senior management, and identifying any additional resources needed. The Company has developed a contingency plan and a January 1, 2000 action plan should Year 2000 issues arise. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company spent approximately $43.7 million for capital expenditures related to the upgrade and continuing build-out of its technical operations and network. The Company believes that all of this equipment is Year 2000 compliant. The Company expects to incur additional costs in 1999 in connection with our Year 2000 program, which the Company believes will not be material. In addition, the Company has acquired a new billing and customer care system as part of its business strategy, which the Company believes is Year 2000 compliant. These additional costs are based on the Company's best estimates and, in management's opinion, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. If the actual costs of implementing the Company's Year 2000 program significantly exceed the Company's estimates, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company currently believes that its most likely, worst case scenario related to the Year 2000 issue is associated with potential concerns with its partners' and suppliers' Internet operations. To the extent that one or more of these third parties experience Year 2000 problems, which would lead to decreased Internet usage and the delay or inability to obtain necessary data communication 23 and telecommunication capacity, the Company's network and services could be adversely affected. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to timely and successfully modify its products, services and systems to comply with Year 2000 requirements. Any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. Furthermore, despite the aforementioned testing performed by the Company and its vendors, the Company's products, services and systems may contain undetected errors or defects associated with Year 2000 date functions. In the event any material errors or defects are not detected and fixed, or third parties cannot timely provide the Company with products, services or systems that meet the Year 2000 requirements, the Company's operating results could be materially adversely affected. Known or unknown errors or defects that affect the operation of the Company's products, services or systems could result in delay or loss of revenue, interruption of network services, cancellation of customer contracts, diversion of development resources, damage to the Company's reputation and litigation costs. The Company cannot guarantee that these or other factors relating to Year 2000 compliance issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Subsequent Events On October 20, 1999, the Company announced that Bass Hotels ("Bass") had issued a letter of intent for the Company to be a chosen provider of broadband access, portal content, IPORT kiosk solutions, meeting room and back office solutions in its hotels and resorts. The letter of intent with Bass gives the Company entry to negotiate a contract for Bass' 400,000 guest rooms and 2,700 properties worldwide. Bass lodging brands include Holiday Inn(R), Holiday Inn Express(R), Crowne Plaza(R), Staybridge SuitesSM by Holiday Inn(R) and Inter- Continental(R) Hotels and Resorts. On November 10, 1999, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. ("United Dominion"), designating the Company as United Dominion's preferred broadband Internet services provider. The agreement enables the Company to provide services to more than 80,000 United Dominion apartment homes. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not applicable. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of its management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operation. On March 25, 1999, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against LodgeNet in Maryland U.S. District Court. The complaint charged LodgeNet with infringement of one of the OverVoice patents, which is directed to the delivery of high-speed audio and video signals over active telephone wiring. On September 15, 1999 the Company and LodgeNet entered into a settlement agreement, and on September 16, 1999 the Company submitted a Stipulation of Dismissal of the lawsuit, under terms satisfactory to the Company.
