Sale of Certain Assets Related to Books Now and the Company's Videos Now
Operations
Effective May 28, 1999, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
with ClickSmart.com, Inc., a new corporation formed for the purpose of combining
the assets acquired from the Company with certain assets contributed by Video
Direct Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company exchanged certain assets for
19.9 percent of the common stock of ClickSmart.com and is entitled to receive
$2,000,000 from ClickSmart either by receiving 75% of ClickSmart's net cash
flows until DCTI receives an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or from proceeds
received by ClickSmart as an equity investment of not less than $10,000,000. The
assets exchanged by the Company primarily related to the operations of Books Now
and Videos Now and consisted of $57,183 of net equipment, $52,204 of prepaid
advertising and certain intangibles represented by net goodwill of $442,020.
ClickSmart did not assume any existing liabilities related to Books Now and
Videos Now. The operations of Books Now and Videos Now were not generating
positive cash flows prior to the exchange and the operations of Video Direct did
not have any history of profitability. Due to these uncertainties with respect
to the future cash flows and profitability of ClickSmart.com, at the time of the
exchange management determined that the Company's investment in ClickSmart.com
of $551,407 should be written off. Prior to the exchange, management was
considering the termination of the Books Now and Videos Now operations. In
connection with the exchange, the Company loaned ClickSmart $300,000 under a
promissory note bearing interest at 8 percent and due in May of 2000.

of $1,227,954 from this sale as discontinued operations during the nine months
ended March 31, 2000. The WeatherLabs operations have been reclassified as

NOTE 3 - NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The
computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities
that would have an antidilutive effect on net loss per common share.
Options to purchase 2,746,050 and 679,793 shares of common stock at weighted
average exercise prices of $7.16 and $4.36 per share as of March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively, warrants to purchase 2,990,000 and 1,935,000 shares of
common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $6.53 and $7.21 per share as
of March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 360 shares of Series A preferred
stock convertible to 800,000 shares of common stock at $4.50 per share at March
31, 2000 were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS. The inclusion of
the options, warrants and preferred stock would have been antidilutive, thereby
decreasing net loss per common share. As of March 31, 2000 the Company has
agreed to issue up to an additional 375,200 shares of common stock in connection
with the acquisition of WeatherLabs, contingent on the future price of the
Company's common stock. These contingent shares have also been excluded from the
computation of diluted EPS.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay ACI $5,941,218 during the
life of the contract. The Company made a payment upon signing the contract of

additional $2,500,000 on July 15, 2000.
NOTE 5 - DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

$260,439 and $2,884,247, respectively, of credit card chargebacks related to
fraudulent merchant transactions. The Company's arrangements with its merchants
and agents provide for the recovery of chargebacks from the merchant and/or the
agents. Management intends to pursue recovery of the chargebacks; however, due
to the lack of any historical experience and other factors the potential
recovery is not estimable. Accordingly, the Company has expensed the full amount
of the chargebacks. Management does not anticipate any additional significant
chargebacks in excess of merchant resources. However, actual results could
differ materially from these estimates.

Research and development expense decreased 31.9% to $338,105 during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $496,578 during the three months ended March
31, 1999. Research and development expense decreased because of the divestiture
of the Books Now and VideosNow operations.
Research and development expense increased 16.8% to $1,611,163 during the nine
months ended March 31, 2000 from $1,379,244 during the nine months ended March
31, 1999. Research and development expense increased because of the acquisition
of DCII which is performing significant research and development activities for
the Company's payment processing operations offset by the divestiture of the
Books Now and VideosNow operations.
Non-cash compensation for issuance of stock options and stock was $1,158,301
during the three months ended March 31, 2000. The value of cashless exercises of
stock options was $1,096,801 and the issuance of stock in settlement of a suit
by a former employee was $61,500.
Non-cash compensation for the issuance of stock options and stock increased
28.1% to $1,347,069 during the nine months ended March 31, 2000 from $1,051,558

31, 2000, the value of cashless exercises of stock options was $1,285,569 and
the issuance of stock in settlement of a suit by a former employee was $61,500.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1999 the Company and the former owner
reached a severance agreement, wherein, the former owner and President of Books
Now and original shareholders of Books Now were issued 205,182 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $1,051,558, based on the quoted market price of
the shares on the date of the agreement. Because the operations of Books Now
were not achieving the performance criteria, the $1,051,558 of common stock was
expensed as of the date of the agreement.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999, the Company incurred
expenses of $52,202 and $5,208,337, respectively, associated with terminating
the interactive marketing agreement with America Online, Inc. ("AOL"). Effective
June 1, 1998, we entered into a marketing agreement with America Online ("AOL"),
which gave us "permanent anchor tenancy" and advertising for our Videos Now
website on key channels of the America Online Network, AOL.com and Digital City.
Due to low sales volume and unacceptable gross margins from the sale of videos
on our Videos Now website on AOL, we entered into discussions with AOL beginning
in November, 1998 to restructure the terms of the marketing agreement with AOL.
Effective January 1, 1999, we amended the Marketing Agreement to: (1) reduce the
previously required January 1, 1999 payment of $4,000,000 to AOL to a payment of
$315,000 on or prior to January 31, 1999, and (2) eliminate any additional cash
payments to AOL in the future under the Marketing Agreement.

On February 1, 1999, we entered into a second amendment with AOL, under which
AOL agreed to return to us (a) the 636,942 warrants and (b) 601,610 of the
955,414 shares of our common stock previously issued to AOL under the marketing
agreement. All advertising ceased immediately, but we continued to have a
permanent location or "button" on AOL's Shopping channel until August 31, 1999.
We have no further financial obligations to AOL.
Under the original contract with AOL the Company was to be one of only two
predominantly displayed online stores ("permanent anchor tenant") for the sale
of videos on the AOL channels where subscribers would most likely go to purchase
videos. In addition to the predominant display on the AOL channels, AOL was
providing advertising on its other channels to send customers to the permanent
anchor tenant sites. The permanent anchor tenancy included "above the fold
placement" (no scrolling required to see the Company's video site) and an
oversized logo (larger than a banner or a button). Under the amended contract
with AOL the Company only received "button" placement on the AOL shopping
channel. "Button" placement is not predominant on the AOL channels, is smaller,
need not be "above the fold" and is not the beneficiary of AOL advertising
designed to send customers to the site.
As a result of the February 1, 1999 agreement with AOL, the Company determined
that the remaining balance of the AOL anchor tenant placement costs of
$12,364,123, less $139,206 representing the fair market value of the permanent
location of the Shopping channel for 8 months, was written off as of December
31, 1998. A portion of the write-off was offset by recording the return of the
601,610 shares of common stock, which had a fair market value of $4,549,676 as
of the date the agreement was terminated, and by recording the cancellation of
the warrants which had a recorded value of $2,519,106 as of December 31, 1998.
This resulted in a net write-off of $5,156,135 during the three months ended
December 31, 1998.
The interactive marketing agreement with America Online, Inc. was for an initial
term of 39 months (the "Agreement"), which could be extended for successive
one-year terms by AOL thereafter. Under the Agreement, the Company was to pay
AOL $12,000,000 in cash and issue a seven-year warrant to purchase 318,471
shares of the Company's common stock at $12.57 per share (the "Performance
Warrant") in exchange for AOL providing the Company with certain permanent
anchor tenant placements for its Videos Now site on the AOL Network and
promotion of the Videos Now site. The Performance Warrant was to vest over the
term of the agreement as certain promotion criteria were achieved by AOL. The
agreement included an option whereby AOL elected to provide additional permanent
anchor tenant placements for Videos Now on AOL.com (a separate and distinct
website) in exchange for 955,414 shares of the Company's common stock and a
seven-year, fully vested warrant to purchase 318,471 shares of the Company's
common stock at a price of $6.28 per share (the "Option Warrant").

The write off of acquired in-process research and development during the six
months ended December 31, 1998 was $3,700,000, which was attributable to the
acquisition of DCII (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements).
Discontinued operations
During the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the Company sold substantially all
of its assets related to WeatherLabs. The results of the WeatherLabs operations
are presented as discontinued operations. During the three months ended March
31, 1999, the pretax loss from the WeatherLabs operations was $187,033.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the pretax loss from this operation
was $429,779. Also during the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the Company
recorded a pretax gain from the sale of the WeatherLabs assets of $1,227,953.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1999 the pretax loss from the WeatherLabs
operations was $641,651.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 22, 1998, the Company borrowed $1,200,000 from a group of individual
lenders (the "Loan"). The annual interest rate on the Loan is 24% and the Loan
is secured by receivables owed to the Company. The original maturity date of the
Loan was October 22, 1999. It may be prepaid without penalty any time after
February 22, 1999. In connection with the Loan, the Company paid a finders fee
of $27,750 and issued two-year warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $2.875 per share. The finders' fee and the
fair market value of the two-year warrants have been capitalized and are being
amortized over the life of the loan. On October 15, 1999, the Company extended
the loan for the current principal amount of $753,342 with a maturity date of
October 20, 2000. On February 28, 2000 the Company paid off this note in full.
On November 24, 1998, the Company raised $1.8 million by selling its common
stock and warrants to purchase common stock to The Brown Simpson Strategic
Growth Funds (the "Purchasers") pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement
between the Company and the Purchasers (the "Purchase Agreement"). On December
2, 1998, the Company sold an additional $1.8 million of common stock to the
Purchasers and amended the Purchase Agreement and related documents (the
"Amended Agreements").

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and Amended Agreements, the Purchasers
acquired 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock and five-year warrants to
purchase 800,000 additional shares ("Tranche A"). The exercise price for 400,000
of the warrants is $5.53 per share and the exercise price of the remaining
400,000 warrants is $9.49 per share. The exercise price of the warrants is
subject to adjustment on the six month anniversary of each respective closing to
the lesser of the initial exercise price and the average price of the Company's
common stock during any five consecutive business days during the 22 business
days ending on such anniversary of the closing. The warrants were callable by
the Company if for 15 consecutive trading days, the closing bid price of the
Company's stock is at least two times the then-current exercise price.
The Amended Agreements also required the Company to sell to the Purchasers, and
the Purchasers to purchase from the Company, an additional tranche of 800,000
units, each unit consisting of one share of the Company's common stock and a
warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the "Tranche B Units"), if
certain conditions are met. A condition to the sale of the Tranche B Units,
among others, was that the closing bid price of the Company's common stock be
more than $7 per share for 15 consecutive trading days. The price for the
Tranche B Units is $7 per Unit and the exercise price of the warrants contained
in the Tranche B Unit will be equal to 110% of the closing bid price of the
Company's stock on the day of the sale of the Tranche B Units.
On March 3, 1999, the Company raised an additional $3.6 million through the sale
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") and warrants to
purchase common stock to the Purchasers pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement between the Company and the Purchasers (the "March Purchase
Agreement").
Pursuant to the March Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers acquired 360 shares of
the Preferred Stock convertible into 800,000 shares of common stock and
five-year warrants to purchase an additional 800,000 shares of common stock. The
Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at a price of $4.50 per share
of common stock. The initial exercise price for the warrants is $5.23 per share,
subject to adjustment on the six month anniversary of the closing, to the lesser
of the initial exercise price and the average price of the Company's common
stock during any five consecutive business days during the 22 business days
ending on such anniversary of the closing. The warrants are callable by the
Company if for 30 consecutive trading days, the closing bid price of the
Company's common stock is at least two times the then-current exercise price.
The March Purchase Agreement also requires the Company to sell to the
Purchasers, and the Purchasers to purchase from the Company, an additional
tranche of 1,600,000 units, each unit consisting of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock convertible into one share of the Company's common stock and a
five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the "Tranche D Units"),
if certain conditions are met. A condition to the sale of the Tranche D Units,
among others, is that the closing bid price of the Company's common stock be
more than $7 per share for 30 consecutive trading days. The price for the
Tranche D Units is $7 per Unit and the exercise price of the warrants contained
in the Tranche D Unit will be $7.70. The March Purchase Agreement terminates the
commitment for Tranche B Units previously discussed.

increased the number of trading days required for the warrant call option and
the Tranche D trigger to 130 consecutive trading days.
On March 25 1999, the Company entered into a 5 year software licensing agreement
with ACI Worldwide, Inc. ("ACI") to license ACI's BASE24 software to enhance the
Company's existing Internet-based platforms that offer secure payments
processing for business-to-consumer electronic commerce. The license agreement
called for payments totaling $5,941,218 to be made over a five year period. The
Company made a payment to ACI of $591,248 in March 1999. On March 31, 2000, the
software license agreement was modified to grant the Company a non-transferable
and non-exclusive license to use ACI's Base24(R) software in all international
markets, as well as the United States, which was granted in the original
contract. In exchange for this agreement the Company paid ACI $2,500,000 on

the minimum term of the agreement to six years and to provide minimum guaranteed
payments to the Company totaling $6,000,000 in addition to royalties. The

the software license agreement to $4,517,296. The Company made the additional
required payment to ACI of $3,888,435 from the proceeds received from TSAI.

Year 2000 Issue
Computer systems, software applications, and microprocessor dependent equipment
may cease to function properly or generate erroneous data in the year 2000. The
problem affects those systems or products that are programmed to accept a
two-digit code in date code fields. To correctly identify the year 2000, a
four-digit date code field will be required to be what is commonly termed "year
2000 compliant."
To date we have invested $80,000 in an effort to certify all aspects of the
business are year 2000 compliant. The areas of the business which have been
targeted for compliance testing are our operations and our software products and
services. We conducted the certification process over a three-month period in
which all software products and service components under our direct control
certified year 2000 compliant. For the major operational components and
remaining software and services that are under the control of third party
organizations, we have received written confirmation and evidence of year 2000
compliance. We may realize operational exposure and risk if the systems for
which we are dependent upon to conduct day-to-day operations are not year 2000
compliant. The potential areas of software exposure include:
30
DIGITAL COURIER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)
o electronic data exchange systems operated by third parties with whom we
transact business;
o server software which we use to present content and advertising to our
customers and partners; and
o computers, software, telephone systems and other equipment used internally.
During the last two years, our computerized information systems have been
substantially upgraded to be year 2000 compliant. Thus far in the year 2000, we
have not experienced any date-related problems. It is still possible that if
systems material to our operations have not been made year 2000 compliant, or if
third parties failed to make their systems compliant in a timely manner, the
year 2000 issue could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations. This would result in an inability to
provide functioning software and services to our customers in a timely manner,
and could then result in lost revenues from these customers, until such problems
are resolved by us or the responsible third parties.
