EXHIBIT 99.1
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Flycast Communications Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flycast
Communications Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31,
1997 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, common
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated
financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of InterStep, Inc.
with and into Flycast Communications Corporation on August 30, 1999, which has
been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests as described in Note 9 to the
consolidated financial statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Flycast Communications Corporation
and subsidiary at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

FLYCAST COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Flycast Communications Corporation ("Flycast") commenced
operations on April 14, 1996 (inception). Flycast is a leading provider of
Web-based advertising solutions designed to maximize the return on
investment for direct response advertisers and e-commerce companies.
Flycast is headquartered in San Francisco.
Basis of Presentation - On August 30, 1999, Flycast completed a merger
with InterStep, Inc. ("InterStep") a Massachusetts corporation which
commenced operations in 1995. The transaction has been accounted for as a
pooling of interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements of the Company for all periods presented have been restated to
include the accounts of InterStep (see Note 9). No adjustments were
required to conform accounting policies of the entities. There were no
significant intercompany transactions requiring elimination for any
periods presented.
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 revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers' respective financial conditions, and, generally, requires no
collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for
uncollectible accounts receivable based on the expected collectibility of
accounts receivable.
Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit
with original maturities of three months or less at the time of
acquisition.
Investments consist of certificates of deposit with an original maturity
date of greater than three months at the time of acquisition. Such
investments are considered available for sale and have carrying values
which approximate fair value.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Equipment held under capital leases is stated at the present value of
minimum lease payments. Depreciation on property and equipment is
calculated on the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. Equipment held under capital leases is amortized on the
straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated
useful life of the asset.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues derived from the delivery of advertising
impressions through third-party Web sites and delivery of e-mail content
are recognized in the period the advertising impressions or e-mail
contents are delivered provided collection of the resulting receivable is
probable. Revenues from list management and distribution services are
recognized when services have been performed. Amounts payable to third
party Web sites for advertisements displayed on such sites are recorded as
cost of revenue in the period the advertising impressions or e-mails are
delivered.
6
Advertising expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising
expenses were not significant in 1996 or 1997 and were $634,000 in 1998.
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
Income Taxes - Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for future taxable
amounts, and deferred tax assets are recognized for future deductions, net
of a valuation allowance to reduce net deferred tax assets to amounts that
are more likely than not to be realized.
Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of trade
receivables. The Company's credit risk is mitigated by the Company's
credit evaluation process and the reasonably short collection terms. The
Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts
receivable and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.
Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments include cash
and cash equivalents, short-term investments, notes receivable from
stockholders and long-term debt. At December 31, 1997 and 1998, the fair
values of these instruments approximated their financial statement
carrying amounts.
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for its employee stock
option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Accordingly, no accounting recognition is given to stock options granted
to employees (including directors) at fair market value until they are
exercised. Upon exercise, the net proceeds are credited to stockholders'
equity (deficit). Compensation expense is recognized for stock options
granted to employees (including directors) at less than fair market value.
The Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18 under the fair value based
method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of -
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
assets or intangibles may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to
be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of
are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs
to sell.
Loss per Common Share - Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and
is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period
(excluding shares subject to repurchase). Diluted loss per common share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation in loss
periods as their effect would be antidilutive.
Pro Forma Net Loss per Common Share - Pro forma basic and diluted loss per
common share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of
7
common shares outstanding for the period (excluding shares subject to
repurchase) and the weighted average number of common shares resulting
from the assumed conversion of outstanding shares of mandatorily
redeemable preferred stock.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards - In June 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which requires an enterprise to report, by major
components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the
period from nonowner sources; and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes
annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business
segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic
areas and major customers. The Company had no comprehensive income items
to report for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. The
Company currently operates one reportable segment under SFAS No. 131.
Adoption of these statements in 1998 did not impact the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which defines derivatives, requires
that all derivatives be carried at fair value, and provides for hedge
accounting when certain conditions are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for
the Company in fiscal 2001. Although the Company has not fully assessed
the implications of SFAS No. 133, the Company does not believe that
adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment as of December 31, 1997 and 1998 consisted of the
following (in thousands):
1997 1998
Computer equipment and purchased software $ 810 $ 904
Computer equipment under capital lease 100 1,796
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 29 60
------- -------
Total 939 2,760
Less accumulated depreciation (236) (815)
------- -------
Net $ 703 $ 1,945
======= =======
The accumulated depreciation associated with computer equipment under
capital lease was $24,000 and $312,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
3. NOTES PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS
The Company has notes payable to two stockholders, payable on demand, with
interest of 6.74%. The outstanding amount as of December 31, 1997 and 1998
is $58,000 and $62,000, respectively.
8
4. DEBT
In 1998, the Company borrowed $600,000 from a lending institution at an 8%
interest rate. Principal and interest payments are due in monthly
installments through July 2001. As of December 31, 1998, the outstanding
obligation was $445,000.
In 1998, the Company obtained a $175,000 letter of credit as a security
deposit on office space leased. The letter of credit is collateralized by
all assets of the Company.
In 1998, the Company entered into a financing agreement with a preferred
stockholder and lender for $2,500,000, due in April 2002 with interest at
11% per annum, and for an additional $5,000,000, due in August 2001 with
interest at 14%. The Company granted this lender Series C preferred stock
warrants to purchase 55,409 shares at $4.51 per share, and 72,324 shares
of preferred stock at $4.42 per share. The estimated fair value allocated
to the warrants of $304,000 is being accreted over the life of the
financing agreements. As of December 31, 1998, the recorded obligation
totaled $4,220,000 and $3,000,000 is available for future borrowing.
Debt outstanding excluding capital lease obligations (Note 8) as of
December 31, 1998 will be due in annual principal payments of $983,000,
$1,876,000, $1,646,000 and $160,000 in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002,
respectively.
5. INCOME TAXES
The Company's deferred income tax assets are comprised of the following
(in thousands):
1997 1998
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards $ 1,368 $ 4,239
Reserves and accruals not currently deductible 28 807
Research and development tax credit 40 135
Other 23 28
------- -------
Total gross deferred tax assets before valuation allowance 1,459 5,209

Deferred tax liabilities:
Accrual to cash adjustments (264)
Other (7)
------- -------
Total gross deferred liabilities (7) (264)
------- -------
Net deferred tax assets $ - $ -
======= =======
The Company established 100% valuation allowance at December 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998 due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits from
its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss ("NOL")
carryforwards of approximately $11,000,000 for federal and state income
tax purposes. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2004 for state and
2011 for federal purposes. The Company also has available federal and
state research and
9
development tax credit carryforwards of $77,000 and $58,000, respectively,
which had no expiration date as of December 31, 1998.
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar California rules place a
limitation on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by NOL
carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change
in ownership). Due to these provisions, utilization of the NOL and tax
credit carryforwards may be limited.
6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Common Stock Reserved For Future Issuance
At December 31, 1998, the Company has reserved the following shares of
common stock for issuance in connection with:
Conversion of Series A preferred stock 911,295
Conversion of Series B preferred stock 5,324,532
Conversion of Series C preferred stock 497,785
Warrants issued and outstanding 386,237
Options issued and outstanding 1,938,705
Options available under stock option plans 132,230
---------
Total 9,190,784
=========
Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock
In July 1997, the Company issued 611,295 shares of Series A redeemable
convertible stock in exchange for all 1,000 shares of outstanding common
stock. Additionally, in July 1997, 300,000 shares of Series A preferred
stock were issued upon conversion of $300,000 of convertible notes. In
July, August and December 1997, the Company issued 5,324,532 shares of
Series B preferred stock for $1.33 per share. In December 1998, the
Company issued 497,785 shares of Series C preferred stock for $9.04 per
share.
Significant terms of the Series A, B and C redeemable convertible
preferred stock are as follows (see Note 9):
o At the option of the holder, each share of preferred stock is
convertible at any time into one share of common stock,
subject to adjustment for certain dilutive issuances. As of
December 31, 1998, no such adjustments had occurred. Shares
automatically convert into common stock upon the earlier of
(a) completion of a public offering with aggregate proceeds
greater than $15,000,000 at not less than $8.00 per share or
(b) upon the consent of more than 50% of the holders of the
preferred stock, voting together as a single class.
o Series A, B and C convertible preferred stock are entitled to
annual noncumulative cash dividends of $0.08, $0.106 and
$0.723 per share, respectively, when and if declared by the
Board of Directors.
o In the event of any liquidation of the Company (which includes
the acquisition of the Company by another entity), the holders
of Series B and Series C preferred stock have a liquidation
10
preference over common stock and Series A preferred stock of
$1.33 per share and $9.04 per share, respectively, plus all
declared but unpaid dividends. After such payment, the holders
of Series A preferred stock have a liquidation preference of
$1.00 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends. Upon
payment of all preferred stock liquidation preferences, any
remaining proceeds will be allocated to the common
stockholders.
o Any time after May 31, 2002, upon the vote of at least
two-thirds of the then outstanding redeemable convertible
preferred stock, the Company will be required to redeem all of
the redeemable convertible preferred stock at the liquidation
preference plus an amount equal to $0.08, $0.106 and $0.723
per share per year compounded annually for Series A, B and C,
respectively, less any cash dividends paid. As a result, the
Company has recorded an increase to the carrying values by the
accretion of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of
$206,000 in 1997 and $656,000 in 1998.
o Holders of preferred stock have the same voting rights as the
holders of common stock.
Preferred Stock Warrants
In 1997, in connection with certain loan arrangements, the Company issued
five year warrants to purchase 33,834 shares of Series B preferred stock
at $1.33 per share and 7,500 shares of Series A preferred stock at $1.00
per share to a bank. The warrants expire in 2002. The fair value of these
warrants of $33,000 was recognized as interest expense in 1997.
Also in 1997, in connection with a bridge loan arrangement, the Company
issued a five year warrant to purchase 43,854 shares of Series B preferred
stock at $1.33 per share. The warrant expires in 2002 or upon closing of
an underwritten public offering. The fair value of these warrants of
$36,000 was recognized as interest expense in 1997.
As discussed in Note 4, in 1998, the Company granted a lender Series C
preferred stock warrants to purchase 55,409 shares at $4.51 per share, and
72,324 shares at $4.42 per share. The warrants expire upon the earlier of
five years from the grant date or two years from closing of an
underwritten public offering. The fair value of the warrants of $304,000
is being accreted to interest expense over the life of the financing
agreements.
In 1998, in connection with certain bridge loan arrangements, the Company
issued warrants to purchase 132,840 shares of Series C preferred stock at
$9.04 per share to various lenders. The warrants expire in 2003 or upon
closing of an underwritten public offering. The fair value of these
warrants of $200,000 was recognized as interest expense in 1998.
Notes Receivable from Stockholders
In July 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,275,011 shares of
common stock to officers and members of the Board of Directors. In
connection with such issuance, the Company's board members paid for the
stock by issuing notes payable (secured by the shares of the Company's
common stock purchased) to the Company. The secured note payable bears
interest at 6.65% per annum with the entire principal balance of the note,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable on the
earlier of (a) nine months after the closing of an initial public offering
of the Company's common stock or (b) July 2002 or (c) termination of
employment. The shares vest over a four year period. Any unvested shares
purchased are subject to repurchase rights by the Company upon occurrence
of certain events or conditions, such as employment termination, at the
original purchase price. Of such shares,
11
there were 1,990,635 and 997,500 shares subject to repurchase at December
31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
Additionally, in September 1998, two officers of the Company exercised
options to purchase 357,000 shares with an exercise price of $1.25 by
issuing notes payable (secured by the shares of the Company's common stock
purchased). The secured note payable bear interest at 5.54% per annum with
the entire principal balances of the notes, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest, due and payable on the earlier of (a) nine months after
the closing of an underwritten public offering, (b) September 2003 or (c)
termination of employment.
Stock Option Plans
The Company's stock option plans (the "Plans") provide for the grant of up
to 2,850,000 incentive or nonstatutory options to employees, directors and
consultants of the Company at the fair market value of the common stock on
the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted
under the Plans generally vest ratably over periods of up to four years
and expire ten years from the date of grant. The Plans also provide for
early exercise of options prior to full vesting. Any unvested shares
purchased are subject to repurchase rights by the Company upon occurrence
of certain events or conditions, such as employment termination, at the
original purchase price. There were 528,289 shares subject to repurchase
at December 31, 1998.
Options and Warrants Granted to Nonemployees
In 1998, the Company granted options and warrants for common stock to
nonemployees for services performed and to be performed through 2002. In
connection with these awards, the Company recognized $178,000 in
stock-based compensation expense related to such options which vested
during 1998. At December 31, 1998, unvested options granted to
nonemployees totaled 24,479 shares.
Stock-Based Compensation
During 1998, the Company issued common stock options at less than the fair
value of its common stock. The fair value of the common stock, weighted
based on options granted in 1998, was $2.75 per share. Accordingly, the
Company recorded $2,929,000 as the value of such options in 1998.
Stock-based compensation of $1,158,000 was amortized to expense in 1998
and at December 31, 1998, the Company had $1,771,000 in deferred stock
compensation related to such options, which will be amortized to expense
through 2002.
During 1997, the Company issued common stock options at exercise prices
equal to the fair value of its common stock. Accordingly, no stock-based
compensation was recorded for that period.

Additional Stock Plan Information
As discussed in Note 1, the Company accounts for its stock-based awards to
employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related
interpretations.
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires the
disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share
had the Company adopted the fair value method since the Company's
inception. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to
employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even
though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely
tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which
significantly differ from the Company's stock option awards.
The Company's calculations for employee grants were made using the minimum
value option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions:

Year Ended December 31,
-----------------------
1997 1998
Dividend yield None None
Risk free interest rate 6.1% 5.2%
Expected term, in years 2.5 2.5
The weighted average minimum value per option as of the date of grant for
options granted during 1997 and 1998 was $0.02 and $1.31, respectively.
If the computed minimum values of the Company's stock-based awards to
employees had been amortized to expense over the vesting period of the
awards as specified under SFAS No. 123, loss attributable to common
stockholders and basic and diluted loss per share on a pro forma basis (as
compared to such items as reported) would have been (in thousands):

======= ========== ==========
For the three years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company
had securities outstanding which could potentially dilute basic earnings
per share in the future, but were excluded in the computation of diluted
net loss per share in the periods presented, as their effect would have
been antidilutive. Such outstanding securities consist of the following at
December 31, 1998: 6,733,612 shares of convertible preferred stock,
warrants to purchase 345,761 shares of preferred stock, and options and
warrants to purchase 1,979,181 shares of common stock. There were
1,990,635 and 1,525,789 shares subject to repurchase by the Company at
December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

Legal Matters
In connection with the termination of employment of an officer, the
Company foreclosed on 264,560 shares of the Company's common stock
securing a promissory note from that officer. If that officer should elect
to legally contest the number of shares issued to him, and if additional
shares are ultimately issued, the Company could incur a charge equal to
the fair market value of such shares. The ultimate outcome of this matter
cannot be determined at this time.
Additionally, the Company is involved in various other claims and legal
actions. Management does not expect that the outcome of these other claims
and actions will have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 1999, the Company sold 1,496,347 shares of Series C preferred
stock at $9.04 per share for proceeds of $13,527,000.
On January 4, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder
approval, the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Stock Plan"). The 1999
Stock Plan will serve as the successor equity incentive
15
program to the Company's existing 1997 Stock Option Plan. A total of
2,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance
under the 1999 Stock Plan. On March 30, 1999, the Board of Directors
adopted an amendment to the 1999 Stock Plan that increased the shares of
common stock reserved for issuance to 3,500,000. The number of shares
reserved will increase for each of the next five years by the lesser of
1,000,000 shares or 3% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding
at the beginning of the year.
On January 28, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to
stockholder approval, the 1999 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the
"Directors' Plan"). Under the Directors' Plan, each person who becomes a
nonemployee director after the effective date of the Directors' Plan may
be granted nonstatutory stock options. A total of 200,000 shares of common
stock have initially been reserved for issuance under the Directors' Plan.
On January 28, 1999, the Board of Directors approved, subject to
stockholder approval, the reincorporation of the Company in the State of
Delaware and the associated exchange of one share of common stock or
preferred stock of the Company for every share of common stock or
preferred stock, as the case may be, of the Company's California
predecessor. Such reincorporation and stock exchange will become effective
prior to the effective date of the initial public offering contemplated by
the Company.
Additionally, on January 28, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted, subject
to stockholder approval, the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Purchase Plan"). Under the Purchase Plan, eligible employees are allowed
to have salary withholdings of up to 10% of their base compensation to
purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of
the market value of the stock at the beginning or end of defined purchase
periods. The initial purchase period commences upon the effective date for
the initial public offering of the Company's common stock. The Company has
initially reserved 350,000 shares of common stock for issuance under this
plan, and the number of shares reserved will increase for each of the next
five years by the lesser of 75,000 shares or 0.5% of the shares of common
stock outstanding at the beginning of the year.
On May 4, 1999, Flycast completed an initial public offering of 3,000,000
shares of the Flycast's common stock. In addition, on June 4, 1999, the
Company sold an additional 200,000 shares under the underwriters'
overallotment option. Total net proceeds were $74.4 million. Upon the
closing of the initial public offering, Flycast's mandatorily redeemable
preferred stock converted into 6.9 million shares of common stock.
On August 30, 1999, Flycast completed a merger with InterStep, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation which commenced operations in 1995. InterStep
provides publishers with e-mail content management, list management and
distribution services on an outsourced basis. In the transaction, Flycast
issued 480,337 shares of common stock to InterStep's stockholders, of
which 47,558 shares are held by an escrow agent to serve as security for
the indemnity provided by stockholders of InterStep. The Company also
assumed all outstanding InterStep common stock options, which were
converted to options to purchase approximately 10,012 shares of the
Company's common stock. No adjustments were required to conform accounting
policies of the entities. There were no significant intercompany
transactions requiring elimination for any periods presented.
The above transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests
and, accordingly, the supplemental consolidated financial statements of
the Company for all periods presented have been restated to include the
accounts of InterStep.

On September 30, 1999, the Company announced that a definitive agreement
was entered into to be acquired by CMGI, Inc. ("CMGI") in a
stock-for-stock merger. Under the terms of the agreement, CMGI will issue
.4738 CMGI shares for every Flycast share held on the closing date of the
transaction. Closing of the merger is subject to customary conditions,
including formal approval by the Company's shareholders. In connection
with the merger, the Company also entered into a Stock Option Agreement
dated as of September 29, 1999, whereby the Company granted CMGI an option
to purchase up to 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company common
stock, which option may be exercised in the event that the Merger
Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances. Related to the
acquisition, the Company incurred $1,350,000 in financial advisory
services expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
