Overview InfoSpace, Inc. is an international provider of commerce and consumer infrastructure services to merchants and on wireless, wireline and broadband platforms. We provide our services across multiple platforms simultaneously, including PCs and non-PC devices, such as screen telephones, television set-top boxes and online kiosks, which use ground wire Internet connections (wireline devices) and wireless devices such as cell phones, pagers and personal digital assistants. We are also preparing to enter the market for infrastructure services which take greater advantage of high-speed (known as broadband) wireline and wireless Internet connections, such as interactive gaming, television and other entertainment services. Our customers include AT&T Wireless, Cingular Wireless, Intel, Virgin Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Hasbro, National Discount Brokers and Bloomberg, among others. Our affiliate network is comprised of more than 3,200 Web sites, including America Online, Microsoft's MSN, NBCi, Lycos and ABC's LocalNet. The following chart provides an illustration of our business model. Our integrated technology platform serves as the basis for all of our consumer and commerce products and services and enables us to offer our infrastructure services across multiple platforms simultaneously. More information on our infrastructure services and distribution channels is provided below. ------------------------------------------------------------ DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFRASTRUCTURE Wireline Wireless Merchant Broadband SERVICES - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consumer Products and Web portals Wireless RBOCs Cable companies Services carriers Destination Merchant banks DSL providers Commerce Products and sites Wireless Services device and Merchant Wireless (2.5G equipment aggregators and 3G) manufacturers Local media Satellite networks television Interactive television (iTV) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- InfoSpace Integrated Technology Platform - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Our Infrastructure Services We have developed a scalable, flexible technology platform that enables us to deliver a broad, integrated suite of consumer and commerce services to Web sites, merchants and wireless carriers. All of our services utilize the same core technology platform within the same operational infrastructure. We design our infrastructure services to be highly flexible and customizable, enabling our affiliates to select from among our broad range of consumer and commerce products and services. We believe that one of our principal strengths is our internally developed technology, which enables us to easily and rapidly add new affiliates and distribution partners by employing a distributed, scalable architecture adapted specifically to our Internet-based infrastructure services. We help our wireline affiliates and distribution partners, including wireless carriers and merchant aggregators, build and maintain their brands by delivering our consumer and commerce products and services with the look and feel and navigation features specific to their delivery platform and format, including on the growing number of emerging wireless devices. InfoSpace supports SMS, WAP, cHTML, VXML (speech) and a variety of other protocols that may be proprietary to different wireless and wireline devices, enabling the end user to access the same services, including services personalized to the end user, across a variety of devices. Consumer Products and Services We provide information of broad appeal to users of wireless devices and PCs and other wireline Internet devices, including maps, directories, financial data, traffic reports, sports, news and entertainment. Our consumer products and services are designed for the end user and are distributed through wireless devices and Web sites. These products and services include: . personal information management (PIM), including address book, calendar and to-do lists; . communications such as e-mail and instant messaging; . information of broad appeal including directories, sports, news and entertainment, financial data and traffic reports; . search and reference products including metasearch services, which simultaneously query a variety of search engines and directory services; . entertainment services such as multi-player gaming; and . a shopping product that includes comparison shopping and an e-wallet. Our flexible technology platform enables end users to personalize many of these products and services to meet their individual needs and preferences. In addition, we are developing new services and applications based on speech recognition technology we gained through our acquisition of Locus Dialogue. In most cases, we receive regular data feeds from our content providers and store the content on our Web servers in order to maintain its reliability and increase its accessibility. In other cases, our proprietary technology allows Web users to transparently access content that is stored directly on the content provider's system. In either case, our technology enables us to integrate heterogeneous content from multiple sources and make it appear as if it comes from one source, which is then delivered to our affiliates. Our technology pulls the information dynamically into a Web page or device output display that maintains the look and feel and navigation features of each affiliate's Web site or wireless device. We have acquired rights to third-party content pursuant to numerous license agreements, typically having terms of one to five years. The license agreements require the content provider to update content on a regular basis, the frequency of which varies depending on the type of content. In certain arrangements, the content provider pays us a carriage fee for syndication of its content to our network of affiliates. In other instances, we 4 share with the content provider advertising revenues attributable to end-user access of the provider's content. For certain of our content, including our core directory and map content, we pay a one-time or periodic fee or fee per content query to the content provider. We typically enter into nonexclusive arrangements with our content providers. However, in certain instances we have entered into exclusive relationships, which may limit our ability to enter into additional content agreements. For our directory services, we integrate our yellow pages and white pages information with each other and utilize yellow pages category headings in combination with a natural word search feature to provide a user-friendly interface and navigation vehicle within our directory services. We also typically include maps and directions for addresses included in our directory services. We further enhance the relevance and accuracy of responses to user queries by employing a radial search feature to our directory services, which allows users to specify the geographic scope within a radial distance of a specific address, rather than more conventional methods of searching by zip code or city and county. In addition to our directory services, we distribute other valuable information of broad appeal with everyday significance, such as classifieds, news, travel and city guide information, real-time stock quotes and financial information, Web directories and entertainment. We also offer unified communication services including device-independent e- mail and instant messaging. We integrate these services into the community- building services we offer, making it easy for users to send e-mail and instant messages directly from their address book from any device and also view personalized address lists on any device. In October 2000, we acquired several branded Web properties through our acquisition of Go2Net. These properties include: . MetaCrawler (www.metacrawler.com) and Dogpile (www.dogpile.com), providers of metasearch services, which simultaneously query a variety of search engines and directories services and combine the search results; . Silicon Investor (www.siliconinvestor.com), a financial news and discussion message board; . 100Hot (www.100Hot.com), a directory of popular Web sites; and . PlaySite (www.playsite.com), a Java-based multi-player games site. We intend to continue distributing content provided by these sites through our affiliate network, and licensing the search, message board and game technology to our affiliates and customers. Commerce Products and Services We target our commerce products and services to local and national merchants, including service-based merchants. Our commerce services enable merchants to create, promote, sell and distribute their products and services across multiple channels through our broad distribution network. We have reseller agreements with RBOCs, merchant banks and other local media networks, such as newspapers, who provide our services to local merchants worldwide. Based on our platform of technology, we can deliver a broad array of commerce products and services that include: . the online delivery of promotions to wireless devices and PCs for online and offline use; . the ability to purchase products and services from a Web site directly from a wireless device; . shopping that includes e-wallet and price comparison features in addition to finding products using UPC or other product codes; 5 . yellow page listings and enhanced listings; and . our Authorize.Net payment authorization service for businesses. According to the Kelsey Group, $3.6 trillion of transactions were processed through approximately 10 million merchants in the United States in 1999. By offering merchants the tools needed to promote their products and services, as well as the distribution channels to drive customer transactions, our network enables merchants to leverage the power of the Internet to drive "real world' transactions. Through our acquisition of Millet Software, we believe we will be able to provide a server-based technology that enables wireless Internet devices to become commerce-enabled devices by giving mobile users the ability to press one key to make on-the-spot purchases from virtually any Web site. This is possible through a patent-pending secure technology that provides an automated process for completing payment forms, eliminating the need to continually enter in payment or shipping information, register at sites or enter any specific passwords. Buyers can also purchase multiple products from multiple merchants, using our shopping cart that provides the convenience of purchasing. Our Distribution Channels We have built our distribution network through our direct sales force and through reseller channels. Our reseller channels are based on distribution agreements with online advertising networks, such as DoubleClick and Flycast, who offer both our consumer and commerce products and services to their network of thousands of Web sites; reseller agreements with all five RBOCs; merchant banks such as American Express and Bank of America; and other local media networks who provide our services to local merchants. We currently focus on distributing our consumer and commerce products and services to our four business areas: wireline, wireless, merchant and broadband. We report revenues generated by each of these business areas. Wireline Through our wireline business unit, we distribute our consumer products and services such as PIM, instant messaging and search to our affiliates, which include Web sites (portals) and businesses. Our affiliate network consists of more than 3,200 Web sites that include America Online, Microsoft's MSN, NBCi, Lycos, and ABC's LocalNet, among others. Wireless Our wireless services include data and transaction services that users can access from varying locations, on a variety of devices, over different protocols or standards. Our wireless services platform serves as the underlying infrastructure for wireless carriers and device and equipment manufacturers to offer their customers the ability to conduct commerce, access information, communicate and otherwise manage their lives. Our consumer and commerce products and services are distributed to wireless carriers, device manufacturers and software providers. We currently have relationships with more than 20 domestic and international wireless carriers, including Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Cingular Wireless, VoiceStream, Austria One, ALLTEL, Virgin Mobile and Powertel, and equipment and device manufacturers such as Nokia, Lucent and Ericsson. We also have a strategic alliance with Nortel Networks to jointly offer our services and platform together with Nortel Network's network infrastructure products to carriers worldwide and to collaborate on the development of new 3G wireless Internet technology services. We support SMS, WAP, cHTML, VXML (speech) and a variety of other protocols that may be proprietary to different devices, enabling our end users to access the same personalization and services across a variety of devices. Our wireless Internet services provide a platform which enables carriers to support a variety of protocols such as WAP, PQAs for Palm VII and VXML, in addition to HDML, SMTP and SMS. Our services 6 are compatible with a variety of wireless gateway technologies including Nokia, OpenWave, CMG and Ericsson. Our wireless consumer and commerce products and services are private-labeled for each carrier, preserving the brand of the carrier and their relationship with their customer. Merchant Our commerce services enable merchants to create, promote, sell and distribute their products and services across multiple channels through our distribution network to the end users of our services. We have reseller agreements with RBOCs, merchant banks and major merchant aggregators such as Bank of America and American Express, and local media networks such as newspapers and television and radio stations. Broadband We plan to deliver integrated, cross-platform broadband (DSL, 2.5/3G, cable modem, iTV, satellite) services to customers worldwide. These services will include a comprehensive infrastructure services suite for businesses, and interactive TV services which combine broadcast programming with interactive applications for media companies and service providers. International Operations We currently maintain offices in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia and Brazil. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, InfoSpaceCanada.com, was formed in early 1999 and has affiliate relationships with canada.com, a leading Canadian Web site and search engine, as well as AOL Canada, MSN Canada and Sprint Canada. In 1998, we entered into a joint venture with TDLI.com Limited, a subsidiary of Thomson Directories Limited to form TDL InfoSpace to replicate our infrastructure services in Europe. TDL InfoSpace targeted the United Kingdom as its first market, and content services were launched in the third quarter of 1998. Under the license agreement between Thomson and TDL InfoSpace, Thomson licenses its U.K. directory information database to TDL InfoSpace. Under our license agreement with TDL InfoSpace, we license our technology and provide hosting services to TDL InfoSpace. On August 31, 2000, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TDLI.com Limited. This acquisition gave us 100% control of TDL InfoSpace. We have also entered into an agreement to expand our services into China and are currently investigating additional international opportunities. The expansion into international markets involves a number of risks. See "Factors Affecting Our Operating Results, Business Prospects and Market Price of Stock-- Our expansion into international markets may not be successful and may expose us to risks that could harm our business" for a description of these risks. Revenue Sources We have derived substantially all of our revenues from our consumer and commerce products and services. We generate revenues from commerce transaction fees, licensing fees, advertising, subscriber fees, and development and integration fees. Commerce Transaction Fees Transaction fees are generated as a percentage of the completed transaction from our shopping, on-line promotions and payment authorization services. Transaction fees are recognized in the period the transaction occurred. 7 Licensing Fees We have agreements with some affiliates, merchant aggregators and wireless carriers and device manufacturers under which they agree to pay us guaranteed minimum fees. These arrangements are individually negotiated and have a range of specially adapted features involving various compensation structures. These are often based on the range and extent of customization. These agreements generally range from one to three years in duration. License fee revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. We also have arrangements with wireless carriers, device manufacturers and software providers whereby we receive guaranteed transaction fees as well as transaction revenues on a per-subscriber and per-query basis on existing devices, such as pagers, in excess of the guaranteed minimum payments. Advertising Throughout our consumer services, we sell banner, button and text-link advertisements based on costs per thousand impressions, or CPMs, and other CPM- based advertising. Our advertising agreements generally have terms of less than six months and guarantee a minimum number of impressions. Actual CPMs depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the degree of targeting, the duration of the advertising contract and the number of impressions purchased, and are often negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Because of these factors, actual CPMs may fluctuate. Our guarantee of minimum levels of impressions exposes us to potentially significant financial risks, including the risk that we may fail to deliver required minimum levels of user impressions, in which case we typically continue to provide advertising without compensation until such levels are met. Revenues from contracts based on the number of impressions displayed or click throughs provided are recognized as services are rendered. Subscriber Fees We receive subscriber fees from some of our consumer and commerce services. Subscription fees from commerce services are derived through our reseller relationships with wireless carriers, device manufacturers, RBOCs, merchant banks and other local media networks, and include per store/per month fees and per service/per month fees. Merchant agreements generate subscriber fees from local and national merchants on a per-service, per-month basis. Wireless contracts generate revenue from subscriber and per-query fees that are charged to the wireless carriers. Subscription fee agreements for our consumer and commerce services generally range from one to three years in duration. Development and Integration Fees We receive a lump sum payment, often in advance, to integrate our products and services with our affiliates Web site(s) or onto a wireless carrier's service. Development and integration fees are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. We generate a significant amount of our revenues from our wireline consumer services, which involves a number of risks. For additional information about these risks, see "Factors Affecting Our Operating Results, Business Prospects and Market Price of Stock--We must diversify our revenues to be less reliant upon our wireline services." Technology and Infrastructure One of our principal strengths is our internally developed technology, which we have designed specifically for our consumer and commerce products and services. Our technology architecture features specially adapted capabilities to enhance performance, reliability and scalability, consisting of multiple software modules that support the core functions of our operations. Our technology consists of three tiers: Tier I--Presentation and Authentication, Tier II--Platforms and Applications and Tier III--Core Technology. Below is a brief description of the functionality and purpose of each tier starting with the core technology. 8 Core Technology Web Server Technology We designed our Web Server Technology to enable rapid development and deployment of information over multiple platforms and formats. It incorporates an automated publishing engine that dynamically builds a page to conform to the look and feel and navigation features of each affiliate. Our wireless Internet services are device-independent and provide a platform which enables our wireless carriers to support HDML and SMTP and a variety of emerging protocols such as WAP, VXML and PQAs for Palm VII. Our services are compatible with a variety of gateway technologies including WAP gateways from Nokia, Phone.com and Ericsson. Our Web Server Technology includes other features designed to optimize the performance of our information infrastructure services, including: . an HTML compressor that enables modifications of file content to reduce size, thereby reducing download time for users; . an "Adaptive Keep-Alive" feature that maximizes the time during which client server connections are kept open, based on current server load, thereby increasing user navigation and Web site traversal speed; and . a Proxy Server that provides the capability for real-time integration and branding of applications that reside remotely with third-party providers. Database Technology We have developed database technology to address the specific requirements of our business strategy and information infrastructure services. We designed our Co-operative Database Architecture to function with a high degree of efficiency within the unique operating parameters of the Internet, as opposed to commonly used database systems that were developed prior to the widespread acceptance of the Internet. The architecture is tightly integrated with our Web Server Technology and incorporates the following features: Our Heterogeneous Database Clustering allows disparate data sources to be combined and accessed through a single uniform interface, regardless of data structure. These clusters facilitate database bridging, which allows a single database query to produce a single result set containing data extracted from multiple databases, a vital component of our ability to aggregate applications from multiple sources. Database clustering in this manner reduces dependence on single data sources, facilitates easy data updates and reduces integration efforts. In addition, our pre-search and post-search processing capabilities enable users to modify search parameters in real time before and after querying a database. Our Dynamic Parallel Index Traversal mechanism utilizes the search parameters supplied by the user to determine the appropriate database index (from among multiple indices) to efficiently locate the data requested. Further, an index compression mechanism allows us to achieve an efficient balance between disk space and compression/decompression when storing or accessing data. In a response to a database query, conventional databases access previously displayed results in order to display successive results to a given query, thus increasing response time by performing redundant operations. Our Automatic Query State Recovery mechanism decreases response time by maintaining the state of a query to allow the prompt access of successive results. This feature is particularly important, for example, when an end-user query retrieves a large number of results. We incorporate a natural word search interpreter, which successfully utilizes familiar category and topic headings traditional to print directory media to generate relevant and related results to information queries. By incorporating a familiar navigation feature into our services, we believe we provide end users with a more intuitive mechanism to search for and locate information. 9 For our commerce services we have developed a comprehensive enterprise-wide data warehouse. This data warehouse contains information relating to merchants, products, services, users, customers, profiles, storefronts, purchases, site traffic and metrics. The aggregation of this information in one place allows us to leverage our development efforts and reduce redundant information. Platforms and Applications Our platforms and applications reside on the core technology and support the core functions of our operations. The platforms include: . alerts services, . voice portal, . games platform, . location/geo-centric platform, . short message service (SMS) platform, and . content management. Our applications consist of our consumer and commerce products and services including shopping, promotions, payment authorization, games and entertainment, instant messaging and e-mail, personal information management (PIM) and search. Presentation and Authentication Authentication Requests for our consumer and commerce products and services are generated from wireless, non-PC and PC devices. These requests enter our system through our user management and authentications technology engine. The request is routed by the technology, which determines which services are available to the user based on the user's profile. Presentation The presentation technology allows the content to be displayed on different devices each with their own protocols and formats (displays) without making changes to the underlying application. With our presentation technology, we have a device-, protocol-, and transport-independent platform. We support SMS, WAP, cHTML, VXML (speech) and a variety of other protocols that may be proprietary to different devices, enabling our end users to access the same personalization and services across a variety of devices. Our wireless Internet services provide a platform which enables carriers to support a variety of protocols such as WAP, PQAs for Palm VII and VXML, in addition to HDML, SMTP and SMS. Product Development We believe that our technology platform is essential to successfully implement our strategy of expanding our affiliate network, acquiring value- added content to add to our consumer, merchant and wireless services, expanding internationally and into other services and maintaining the attractiveness and competitiveness of our private label solutions. We have invested significant time and resources in creating our proprietary technology. Product development expenses were $40.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. 10 Intellectual Property Our success depends significantly upon our proprietary technology. To protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, patents, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties and protective contractual provisions. Most of our employees have executed confidentiality and nonuse agreements that transfer any rights they may have in copyrightable works or patentable technologies to us. In addition, prior to entering into discussions with potential content providers and affiliates regarding our business and technologies, we generally require that such parties enter into nondisclosure agreements with us. If these discussions result in a license or other business relationship, we also generally require that the agreement setting forth the parties' respective rights and obligations include provisions for the protection of our intellectual property rights. For example, our standard affiliate agreement provides that we retain ownership of all patents and copyrights in our technology and requires our customers to display our copyright and trademark notices. "InfoSpace," the InfoSpace logo, "Go2Net," "Authorize.Net," the Dogpile logo, "ActiveShopper," "Haggle Online," "HyperMart," "MetaCrawler," "MetaSpy," "MyAgent," "Silicon Investor," "FraudScreen.Net," the Get Rewarded logo, "RubberChicken.com" and "WebMarket" are registered trademarks of ours. In addition, we have applied for federal registration of other marks, including "ActivePromotion," "Dogpile," "IntelliShopper" and "Playsite." We also have applied for registration of certain service marks and trademarks in the United States and in other countries, and will seek to register additional marks, as appropriate. We may not be successful in obtaining the service marks and trademarks for which we have applied. We have been issued one U.S. patent and have filed 45 U.S. patent applications relating to various aspects of our technology, including technology we have developed for querying and developing databases, for developing and constructing web pages, electronic commerce on-line directory services and web scraping. We have received notices of allowance for three of these patent applications. Our issued patent covers private-label commerce solutions and tracking the purchase of products, services and information on the Internet and on wireless devices. We are preparing additional patent applications on other features of our technology. We have instituted a formal patent program and anticipate on-going patent application activity in the future. Patents with respect to our technology may not be granted, and, if granted, patents may be challenged or invalidated. In addition, issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages and may be challenged by third parties. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our products or services or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. In addition, others could possibly independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property, our business could suffer. Companies in the Internet services industry have frequently resorted to litigation regarding intellectual property rights. We may have to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of other parties' proprietary rights. From time to time, we have received, and may receive in the future, notice of claims of infringement of other parties' proprietary rights. Any such claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention, cause product or service release delays, require us to redesign our products or services or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If a successful claim of infringement were made against us and we could not develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business could suffer. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings." MetaCrawler License Agreement. On January 31, 1997, Go2Net and Netbot entered into the MetaCrawler License Agreement pursuant to which Netbot granted Go2Net an exclusive, subject to certain limited exceptions, worldwide license to provide the MetaCrawler Service. We acquired Go2Net in October 11 2000. Netbot was acquired by Excite, Inc. in November 1997 and Excite was acquired by @Home Corporation in May 1999. As part of the MetaCrawler License Agreement, we have the exclusive right to operate, modify and reproduce the MetaCrawler Service including, without limitation, the exclusive right to use, modify and reproduce the name "MetaCrawler" and the MetaCrawler URL in connection with the operation of the MetaCrawler Service. Netbot licensed the MetaCrawler Service and the other intellectual property rights associated therewith from the University of Washington on an exclusive basis. The search technology underlying the MetaCrawler Service and the MetaCrawler trademark is licensed to or owned by Netbot and sublicensed to us pursuant to the MetaCrawler License Agreement. Although the MetaCrawler License Agreement may be terminated by Netbot only upon a material default by us, the termination of the MetaCrawler License Agreement would end our MetaCrawler Service. Competition We operate in the Internet information infrastructure services market, which is extremely competitive and is rapidly changing. Our current and prospective competitors include many large companies that have substantially greater resources than we have. We believe that the primary competitive factors in the market for Internet information infrastructure services are: . the ability to meet the specific information and service demands of a particular Web site or wireless device; . the cost-effectiveness and reliability of the consumer and commerce products and services; . the ability to provide consumer and commerce products and services that are innovative and attractive to consumers, subscribers and other end users; and . the ability to develop innovative products and services that enhance the appearance and utility of the Web site, device or platform. Although we believe that no one competitor offers all of the products and services we do, our primary offerings face competition from various sources. We compete, directly or indirectly, in the following ways, among others: . our consumer and commerce directory services compete with AnyWho? (a division of AT&T), GTE SuperPages, Switchboard, ZIP2 (which was acquired by Compaq), various RBOCs' directory services, infoUSA's Lookup USA, City Search and Yahoo! Yellow Pages and White Pages; . other consumer information services we provide, such as classifieds, horoscopes and real-time stock quotes, compete with specialized content providers; . our commerce services compete with online payment processing services such as Verisign's Signio and CyberCash, portals such as AOL, Yahoo! and MSN, merchant aggregators such as Big Step and Microsoft's Bcentral, and infrastructure providers such as Inktomi; . our wireless services compete with in-house information technology departments of wireless carriers and device manufacturers, and some of our services compete with those provided by TellMe, Qpass and others; and . in international markets, we compete with local companies which may have a competitive advantage due to their greater understanding of and focus on a particular local market. We expect that in the future we will experience competition from other Internet services companies and providers of Internet software, including Microsoft, Yahoo!, AOL, Excite@Home, Lycos and NBCi. Some of these companies are currently customers of ours, the loss of which could harm our business. Many of our current customers have established relationships with some of our current and potential future competitors. If our competitors develop information infrastructure services that are superior to ours or that achieve greater market acceptance than ours, our business will suffer. 12 Governmental Regulation Because of the increasing use of the Internet, U.S. and foreign governments have adopted or may in the future adopt laws and regulations relating to the Internet, addressing issues such as user privacy, pricing, content, taxation, copyrights, distribution and product and services quality. Recent concerns regarding Internet user privacy has led to the introduction of U.S. federal and state legislation to protect Internet user privacy. Existing laws regarding user privacy that we may be subject to include the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which regulates the online collection of personal information from children under 13, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which regulates the collection and processing of personal financial information. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission has initiated investigations and hearings regarding Internet user privacy which could result in rules or regulations that could adversely affect our business. As a result, we could become subject to new laws and regulations that could limit our ability to conduct targeted advertising, or to distribute or collect user information. European legislation to protect Internet user privacy has not greatly impacted us so far. In October 1998, the European Union adopted a directive that may limit our collection and use of information regarding Internet users in Europe. European countries may pass new laws in accordance with the directive, or may seek to more strictly enforce existing legislation, which may prevent us from offering some or all of our services in some European countries. We may be subject to provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act that regulate advertising in all media, including the Internet, and require advertisers to substantiate advertising claims before disseminating advertising. The Federal Trade Commission has the power to enforce this Act. It has recently brought several actions charging deceptive advertising via the Internet and is actively seeking new cases involving advertising via the Internet. We may also be subject to the provisions of the Children's Online Protection Act, which restricts the distribution of certain materials deemed harmful to children. Although some court decisions have cast doubt on the constitutionality of this Act, it could subject us to substantial liability. These or any other laws or regulations that may be enacted in the future could have several adverse effects on our business. See "Risk Factors-- Governmental regulation and the application of existing laws to the Internet may slow the Internet's growth, increase our costs of doing business and create potential liability for the dissemination of information over the Internet." Employees As of February 28, 2001, we had 1,033 employees. None of our employees is represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be good. Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is intense, particularly for software development and other technical staff and for personnel with experience in wireless services. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel. We recently announced a realignment of resources to concentrate on development of our wireless, merchant and broadband services. This realignment included a reduction in our workforce of approximately 250 employees. This, or other future operational decisions, could create an unstable work environment and have a negative effect on our ability to retain and motivate employees. 13 Executive Officers The following table sets forth certain information as of February 28, 2001 with respect to our executive officers: Name Age Position ---- --- -------- Naveen Jain................. 41 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Edmund O.

We have incurred net losses from our inception through December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $408.6 million. We have not achieved profitability and we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses in the future. These losses may be significantly higher than our current losses. We will need to generate sufficient additional revenues to become profitable. We cannot assure you that we will successfully generate sufficient revenues. Consequently, we may never achieve profitability; and if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain it. We have a relatively limited operating history and our business model is new and unproven, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects. We were incorporated in March 1996 and accordingly, we have a relatively short operating history and limited financial data upon which you may evaluate our business and prospects. In addition, our business model to provide consumer and commerce infrastructure services is new and unproven and is likely to continue to evolve. We expect to derive a significant portion of our revenue from products and services that we have only recently introduced. As a result, our potential for future profitability must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as ours. Some of these risks relate to our potential inability to: . develop and integrate new features with our existing services; . expand our services to new and existing merchants, merchant aggregators and wireless carrier partners; . manage our growth, control expenditures and align costs with revenues; . expand successfully into international markets; . attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and . respond to competitive developments. If we do not effectively address the risks we face, our business will suffer and we may not achieve or sustain profitability. Our financial results are likely to continue to fluctuate and could cause our stock price to continue to decline. Our financial results have varied on a quarterly basis and are likely to fluctuate substantially in the future. These fluctuations could cause our stock price to continue to decline. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our quarterly results to fluctuate materially include: . variable demand for our consumer and commerce services by end users, subscribers and merchants; . our ability to attract and retain advertisers, content providers, affiliates and distribution partners, including wireless carriers and merchant aggregators; . the amount and timing of fees we pay to affiliates to include our information services on their Web sites; 16 . the amount and timing of increased expenditures for expansion of our operations, including the hiring of new employees, capital expenditures and related costs; . effects of acquisitions and other business combinations, and our ability to successfully integrate and manage newly acquired companies; . the introduction of new or enhanced services by us, our affiliates or distribution partners, or other companies that compete with us or our partners; . the result of litigation against us that is currently ongoing, or any litigation that is filed against us in the future; . the inability of our affiliates to pay us or to fulfill their contractual obligations to us due to difficulty in raising sufficient capital to support their long term operations; . the effect of any changes in accounting rules or standards; . technical difficulties, system downtime, system failures or Internet brown-outs; and . general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the Internet and telecommunications industries. If one or more of these factors or other factors is unfavorable to us or changes in an adverse way, our business could suffer. As a result of our recent acquisitions and international expansion, we have significantly increased our research and development and sales and general and administrative expenses and intend to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Our expenses, which are partially based on our expectations regarding future revenues and estimated expenses from our acquisitions, are largely fixed in nature, particularly in the short term. As a result, if our revenues do not meet our expectations, our financial results will likely suffer. For these reasons, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of our financial results to forecast our future performance. Our future operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which would cause the trading price of our stock to decline. Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. The trading price of our common stock has historically been highly volatile and has declined significantly in recent months. Since we began trading on December 15, 1998, our stock price has ranged from $1.875 to $138.50 (as adjusted for stock splits). On March 28, 2001, the closing price of our common stock was $2.2813. Our stock price could continue to decline or to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following: . actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations; . announcements of technological innovations, new products or services by us or our competitors; . changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; . conditions or trends in the Internet and online commerce industries; . announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us, our customers or our competitors; . changes in the market valuations of internet or online service companies; . additions or departures of key personnel; and . general market or economic conditions, including changes in interest rates. 17 In addition, the stock market in general, and the Nasdaq National Market and the market for Internet and technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. The trading prices of the stocks of many technology companies have recently suffered significant declines after having been at or near historical highs. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies with publicly traded securities. This type of litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention and resources. We must diversify our revenues to be less reliant upon our wireline services. Historically, we have primarily derived revenues from our wireline consumer services, including licensing and per query fees from our affiliates and advertising revenue from our customers. We anticipate that our wireline consumer services will generate just over 50% of our revenues in 2001. Based upon our reliance on revenues from wireline consumer services, our revenues may decline if growth rates for use of wireline consumer services do not meet our expectations. As a result of unfavorable market or economic conditions, some of our wireline consumer services affiliates and customers are having difficulty raising sufficient capital to support their long-term operations or are otherwise experiencing adverse business conditions. These affiliates and customers may not be able to pay us some or all of the fees they are required to pay us under their existing agreements or may not be able to enter into new agreements. If we are unable to collect these fees or enter into new agreements, our operating results will be harmed. If we are unable to diversify our revenue base, a significant portion of our revenues will continue to be derived from wireline consumer services, which could weaken our financial position. For 2001, we expect revenues from our consumer and commerce services distributed on wireless platforms and revenues from our commerce services distributed on our wireline platform and to our merchant aggregators to represent a larger portion of our total revenues. Our ability to increase the distribution of these new services, and thus diversify our revenues, could be hindered by numerous risks, including: . the ability of our business development personnel to effectively sell consumer and commerce products and services to existing affiliates and customers; . the development of the Internet as an attractive platform for electronic commerce; . the use of our integrated commerce products and services by small and medium sized online and offline merchants; . our ability to effectively develop and market new products and services; . the adoption of our commerce and consumer products and services by wireless carriers and device manufacturers; . the adoption of our infrastructure services for delivery over broadband wireline platforms (DSL and cable) and broadband wireless standards (2.5G and 3G); and . the use of our commerce and consumer products and services by subscribers on their wireless devices. Our business will suffer if we are unsuccessful at integrating acquired businesses. We have acquired a large number of complementary technologies and businesses in the past, and may do so in the future. Acquisitions typically involve potentially dilutive issuances of stock, the incurrence of 18 additional debt and contingent liabilities or large one-time write-offs and amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets. Any of these factors could adversely affect our results of operations or stock price. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including: . difficulties in assimilating the operations, products, technology, information systems and personnel of the acquired company; . diverting management's attention from other business concerns; . impairing relationships with our employees, affiliates, content providers and distribution partners; . being unable to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; . entering markets in which we have no direct prior experience; . losing key employees of the acquired company; and . failing to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition in a timely manner. We may not be able to successfully integrate the technology and personnel we have acquired or the other businesses, technologies or personnel that we acquire in the future. We and the businesses acquired by us may require substantial additional capital that may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. We have attempted to retain key employees, often including existing management, of acquired companies, under the overall supervision of our senior management. We have, however, not always been successful in these attempts at retention. The success of the operations of these acquired companies and technologies will depend, to a great extent, on the continued efforts of the management of the acquired companies. We regularly evaluate the recorded amount of long-lived assets, consisting primarily of goodwill, assembled workforce, acquired contracts and core technology, to determine whether there has been any impairment of the value of the assets and the appropriateness of their estimated remaining life. We evaluate impairment whenever events or changed circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived assets might not be recoverable. At December 31, 2000, we determined that intangible assets from two purchase acquisitions had been impaired. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $8.97 million in the year ended December 31, 2000. We will continue to regularly evaluate the recorded amount of our long-lived assets and test for impairment. In the event we determine that any long-lived asset has been impaired, we will record additional impairment charges in future quarters. We have accounted for several of our acquisitions using the pooling-of- interests method. If we were unable to account for these acquisitions under the pooling-of-interests method, our operating results would be negatively impacted. Revenues derived from our consumer and commerce services are dependent on our relationships with affiliates and distribution partners. We will not be able to continue generating revenues from advertising, transaction fees and promotions unless we can secure and maintain distribution for our consumer and commerce services on acceptable commercial terms through a wide range of affiliates and distribution partners. In particular, we expect that a limited number of our affiliates, including America Online, Inc., its CompuServe and Digital City divisions and Microsoft Network, LLC, will account for a substantial portion of our affiliate traffic. We also rely on our relationships with RBOCs and merchant aggregators for distribution of our commerce services. Our distribution arrangements with our affiliates and distribution partners typically are for limited durations of between six months and two years and automatically renew for successive terms thereafter, subject to termination on short notice. We cannot assure you that such arrangements will not be terminated or that such arrangements will be renewed upon expiration of their terms. We generally share with each affiliate a portion of the revenues generated by advertising on the Web pages that deliver our services. We pay carriage fees to certain affiliates, including AOL. These relationships may not be profitable or result in benefits to us that outweigh the costs of 19 the relationships. In addition, if we lose a major affiliate, we may be unable to timely or effectively replace the affiliate with other affiliates with comparable traffic patterns and user demographics. The loss of any major affiliate is likely to harm our business. Our revenues are attributable to a small number of customers, the loss of any one of which could harm our financial results. We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. We expect that this will continue in the foreseeable future. Our top ten customers represented 32% of our revenues for fiscal year 2000 and 30% of our revenues for fiscal year 1999. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal year 2000. If we lose any of these customers, or if any of these customers are unable or unwilling to pay us amounts that they owe us, our financial results will suffer. Some of our affiliates may not be able to pay us. As a result of unfavorable conditions in the venture capital and public equity markets, some of our affiliates may have difficulty raising sufficient capital to support their long-term operations. As a result, these affiliates may not be able to pay us some or all of the fees they are required to pay us under their existing agreements. In addition, our affiliates may experience adverse business conditions due to market conditions, industry conditions or other factors, which may render them unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to us. Such conditions may also prevent potential affiliates from entering into contractual relationships or other strategic business relationships with us. Bad debt expense was 3.4% of revenues for fiscal year 2000 and 1.8% for fiscal year 1999. We specifically reserve all accounts sixty days or more past due. In addition, we reserve an amount based on revenues and the accounts receivable balance for accounts not specifically identified. We have a credit review process and require payment in advance from those customers that do not qualify under our trade credit guidelines. As a result, we may have to forego business from customers who do not agree to our payment terms. Our operating results have been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by our recognition of losses on investments in other companies. We hold a number of investments in third parties directly and also indirectly through the private InfoSpace Venture Capital Fund. The majority of the companies we have invested in are engaged in the technology related industries of the Internet, networking, e-commerce, telecommunications and wireless technologies. These investments involve a high level of risk for a number of reasons, including: . some of our investments are in businesses based on new technologies or products that may not be widely adopted in the evolving Internet and wireless technology industries; . the companies in which we have invested are generally development-stage companies which are likely to continue to generate losses in the foreseeable future and may not be profitable for a long time, if at all; . in recent months, companies in the Internet and e-commerce industries have experienced difficulties in raising capital to fund expansion or continue operations; and . most of our investments are in privately held companies, and if public markets for their securities do not develop, it may be difficult to sell those securities. We regularly review all of our investments in public and private companies for other than temporary declines in fair value. When we determine that the decline in fair value of an investment below our accounting basis is other than temporary, we reduce the carrying value of the securities we hold and record a loss in the amount of any such decline. During the three months ended December 31, 2000, we determined that the 20 declines in value of two of our investments were other than temporary, and we recognized losses totaling $9.8 million to record these investments at their current fair values as of December 31, 2000. If we conclude in future quarters that the fair values of any of our investments have experienced more than a temporary decline, we will record additional investment losses, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Operational Risks Related to Our Business Our business will suffer if we are unable to hire, retain and motivate highly qualified employees. Our future success depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing and business development personnel. Our services and the industries to which we provide our services are relatively new, particularly with respect to our wireless partners and commerce services. As a result, qualified technical personnel with experience relevant to our business are scarce and competition to recruit them is intense. If we fail to successfully attract, assimilate and retain a sufficient number of highly qualified technical, managerial, sales and marketing, business development and administrative personnel, our business could suffer. We recently announced a realignment of resources to concentrate on development of our wireless, merchant and broadband services. This realignment included a reduction in our workforce of approximately 250 employees. This, or other future operational decisions, could create an unstable work environment and have a negative effect on our ability to retain and motivate employees. Stock options and restricted stock, which each vest typically over a two- or four-year period, are an important means by which we compensate employees. We face a significant challenge in retaining our employees if the value of these stock options and restricted stock is either not substantial enough or so substantial that the employees leave after their stock options or restricted stock have vested. To retain our employees, we expect to continue to grant new options, subject to vesting, which could be dilutive to our current stockholders. If our stock price does not increase significantly above the prices of our options, we may also need to issue new options or grant additional shares of stock in the future to motivate and retain our employees. If we are unable to retain our executive officers or if our new management team does not perform well, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our objectives. Our business and operations are substantially dependent on the performance of our key employees, all of whom are employed on an at-will basis. If we lose the services of one or more of our executive officers or key employees, particularly within our commerce services and wireless business area, or if one or more of them decides to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with us, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our business objectives. We maintain key person life insurance on Naveen Jain, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our other employees. Due to our rapid growth, our anticipated expansion into new markets and our recent acquisitions, several members of our management team are new to InfoSpace or to their executive positions. Only two of our executive officers were employed by us at the end of fiscal year 1999. Our current executive officers may have only limited experience managing a rapidly growing public company. Our business objectives may be adversely affected if our new executive officers are not effective. 21 Our historical and future growth will continue to significantly strain our management, operational and financial resources. We have rapidly and significantly expanded our operations and anticipate further significant expansion to accommodate expected growth in our customer base and market opportunities. We have increased the number of employees from less than 100 at January 1, 1998 to 1,033 at February 28, 2001. We now have development, operations and administrative facilities in Bellevue and Seattle, Washington; Mountain View, California; Provo, Utah; Montreal, Canada; Papendrecht, Netherlands; London, United Kingdom; Sydney, Australia; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We also have sales offices in San Francisco, California; New York, New York; and Chicago, Illinois. This expansion has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on our management and operational resources. We have limited experience managing multiple offices with multiple facilities and personnel in disparate locations. As a result, we may not be able to effectively manage our resources, coordinate our efforts, supervise our personnel or otherwise successfully manage our resources. The rapid growth of our business has strained our ability to meet customer demands and manage the growing number of affiliate relationships. In addition, our affiliate relationships are also growing in their size and complexity of services. As a result of the growth in the size, number, and complexity of our relationships we may be unable to meet the demands of our customer relationships, which could result in the loss of customers, subject us to penalties under our agreements and harm our business reputation. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we must continue maintaining and improving or replacing existing operational, accounting and information systems, procedures and controls. We must also effectively manage our relationships with various Internet content providers, distribution partners, wireless carriers, advertisers, affiliates and other third parties necessary to our business. If we are unable to manage growth effectively our business could suffer. Our expansion into international markets may not be successful and may expose us to risks that could harm our business. We began providing consumer services in the United Kingdom in the third quarter of 1998. With our acquisition of Saraide in March 2000, we now have a development and operations facility in the Netherlands serving European wireless carriers. In March 1999 we began providing infrastructure services to Canadian affiliates through a Canadian subsidiary and we have begun to expand our wireless services into Canada. We also have entered into agreements to expand our services into Brazil, China and Australia and are currently investigating other international opportunities. We plan to build a data center in Rio de Janeiro during 2001. We have limited experience in developing and syndicating localized versions of our consumer and commerce services internationally, and we may not be able to successfully execute our business model in these markets. In addition, most international markets experience lower levels of Internet usage and Internet advertising than the United States. For example, we rely on our business partner in Europe for U.K. directory information and local sales forces and may enter into similar relationships if we expand into other international markets. Our success in these markets will be directly linked to the success of our business partners in such activities. If our business partners fail to successfully establish operations and sales and marketing efforts in these markets our business could suffer. We face a number of risks inherent in doing business in international markets, including: . higher costs of doing business; . export controls relating to encryption technology; . lower levels of adoption or use of the Internet and other technologies used in our business, and the lack of appropriate infrastructure to support widespread Internet usage; . lower levels of credit card usage in some regions; 22 . tariffs and other trade barriers; . potentially adverse tax consequences; . limitations on the repatriation of funds; . difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; . changing local or regional economic and political conditions; . exposures to different legal jurisdictions and standards; . different accounting practices and payment cycles; . fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and . seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and certain other parts of the world. As the international markets for consumer and commerce services on wireline, wireless and broadband platforms markets continue to grow, competition in these markets will likely intensify. Local companies may have a substantial competitive advantage because of their greater understanding of and focus on the local markets. We are subject to pending legal proceedings that could result in liability and damage our business. From time to time we have been, and expect to continue to be, subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our business, including claims to equity of alleged employees and claims of alleged infringement of third-party trademarks and other intellectual property rights by us. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, which could harm our business. We believe we have meritorious defenses to all of the claims currently made against us. Nevertheless, litigation is inherently uncertain, and we may not prevail in these suits. We cannot predict whether future claims will be made or the ultimate resolution of any currently outstanding or future claim. For an expanded discussion of our pending legal proceedings, see "Item 3. Legal Proceedings." Insiders own a large percentage of our stock, which could delay or prevent a change in control and may negatively affect your investment. As of February 28, 2001, our officers, directors and affiliated persons beneficially owned approximately 25.7% of our voting securities. Naveen Jain, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 19.5% of our voting securities as of that date. These stockholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring control over us and could affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, some of our executive officers have stock option grants which provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control if their employment is actually or constructively terminated as a result. The interests of those holding this concentrated ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and, accordingly, they could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider. 23 We have implemented anti-takeover provisions that could make it more difficult to acquire us. Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. For example, a takeover bid otherwise favored by a majority of our stockholders might be rejected by our board of directors. These provisions include: . classifying our board of directors into three groups so that the directors in each group will serve staggered three-year terms, which would make it difficult for a potential acquirer to gain control of our board of directors; . authorizing the issuance of shares of undesignated preferred stock without a vote of stockholders; . prohibiting stockholder action by written consent; and . limitations on stockholders' ability to call special stockholder meetings. Technological Risks Related to Our Business Poor performance in or disruption of the services we deliver to our customers could harm our reputation, delay market acceptance of our services and subject us to liability. We have transitioned our computer and communications hardware from our former headquarters in Redmond, Washington to our new headquarters in Bellevue, Washington. With the acquisitions of Prio and Saraide, we have data centers in Mountain View, California serving our promotions technology and Papendrecht, Netherlands serving wireless customers in Europe. None of our data centers are currently redundant. Our success on a global basis will depend in part on our ability to create carrier class infrastructure systems and build network operations centers worldwide that can support the delivery of integrated consumer and commerce services and the expected growth of these services. We may be unable to develop or successfully manage the infrastructure necessary to meet current or future demands for reliability and scalability of our systems. We have entered into service level agreements with certain merchant services distributors, including merchant banks, and most of our wireless customers. These agreements call for system up times and 24/7 support, and include penalties for non-performance. We may be unable to fulfill these commitments, which could subject us to penalties under our agreements, harm our reputation and result in the loss of customers and distributors, which would harm our business. Our systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, break-in, earthquake and similar events. We do not have a formal disaster recovery plan, and we do not carry business interruption insurance that is adequate to compensate us for all the losses that may occur. In addition, systems that use sophisticated software may contain bugs, which could also interrupt service. Our success depends, in part, on the performance, reliability and availability of our services. Our revenues depend, in large part, on the number of users that access our services. Any system interruptions resulting in the unavailability of our consumer and commerce services would reduce the volume of users able to access our consumer and commerce services and the attractiveness of our service offerings to our affiliates, advertisers and content providers, which could harm our business. Our networks face security risks which could damage our services. Even though we have implemented security measures, our wireless and wireline networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access by hackers or others, computer viruses and other disruptive problems. Someone who is able to circumvent security measures could misappropriate our proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. Internet and online service providers have in the past experienced, and 24 may in the future experience, interruptions in service as a result of the accidental or intentional actions of Internet users, current and former employees or others. Our wireless Internet services may present additional security risks that could lead to interruptions in services, security breaches and related problems. We may need to expend significant capital or other resources protecting against the threat of security breaches or alleviating problems caused by breaches. Although we intend to continue to implement industry-standard security measures, persons may be able to circumvent the measures that we implement in the future. Eliminating computer viruses and alleviating other security problems may require interruptions, delays or cessation of service to users accessing Web pages that deliver our services, any of which could harm our business. We rely on internally developed software and systems which may require modification to remain effective. We have developed custom software for our network servers and our private label solutions. This software may contain undetected errors, defects or bugs. Although we have not suffered significant harm from any errors or defects to date, we may discover significant errors or defects in the future that we may or may not be able to fix. We must expand and upgrade our technology, transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure if the volume of traffic on our Web sites or our affiliates' Web sites increases substantially. We could experience periodic capacity constraints, which may cause temporary unanticipated system disruptions, slower response times and lower levels of customer service. Our business could be harmed if we are unable to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our consumer and commerce services or expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate these increases in a timely manner. We depend on third parties for content, and the loss of access to this content could harm our business. We typically do not create our own content. Rather, we acquire rights to information from numerous third-party content providers, and our future success is dependent upon our ability to maintain relationships with these content providers and enter into new relationships with other content providers. We typically license content under short-term arrangements that do not require us to pay royalties or other fees for the use of the content. However, we do enter into revenue-sharing arrangements with certain content providers, and we pay certain content providers a one-time fee, a periodic fee or a fee for each query from Web users. In the future, we expect that certain of our content providers will likely demand a greater portion of advertising revenues or increase the fees that they charge us for their content. If we fail to enter into and maintain satisfactory arrangements with content providers our business will suffer. We rely on the Internet infrastructure, over which we have no control and the failure of which could substantially harm our business. Our success depends, in large part, on other companies maintaining the Internet system infrastructure. In particular, we rely on other companies to maintain a reliable network backbone that provides adequate speed, data capacity and security and to develop products that enable reliable Internet access and services. If the Internet continues to experience significant growth in the number of users, frequency of use and amount of data transmitted, the Internet system infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it, and the Internet's performance or reliability may suffer as a result of this continued growth. In addition, the Internet could lose its commercial viability as a form of media due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to process increased levels of Internet activity. Any such degradation of Internet performance or reliability could cause advertisers to reduce their Internet expenditures. If other companies do not develop the infrastructure or complementary products and services necessary to establish and maintain the Internet as a viable commercial medium, or if the Internet does not become a viable commercial medium or platform for advertising, promotions and electronic commerce our business could suffer. 25 We rely heavily on our proprietary technology, but we may be unable to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights. Our success depends significantly upon our proprietary technology. To protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, patents, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties and protective contractual provisions. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our products or services or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, others could possibly independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property our business could suffer. Our intellectual property may be subject to even greater risk in foreign jurisdictions, as the laws of many countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. If we cannot adequately protect our intellectual property our competitive position may suffer. Companies in the computer industry have frequently resorted to litigation regarding intellectual property rights. We may have to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of other parties' proprietary rights. From time to time, we have received, and we may receive in the future, notice of claims of infringement of other parties' proprietary rights. Any such claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention, cause product or service release delays, require us to redesign our products or services or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If a successful claim of infringement were made against us and we could not develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business could suffer. We may be subject to liability for our use or distribution of information that we receive from third parties. We obtain content and commerce information from third parties. When we integrate and distribute this information over the Internet, we may be liable for the data that is contained in that content. This could subject us to legal liability for such things as defamation, negligence, intellectual property infringement and product or service liability. Many of the agreements by which we obtain content do not contain indemnity provisions in favor of us. Even if a given contract does contain indemnity provisions, these provisions may not cover a particular claim. Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover fully the amounts or types of claims that might be made against us. In addition, individuals whose names appear in our yellow pages and white pages directories have occasionally contacted us. These individuals believed that their phone numbers and addresses were unlisted, and our directories are not always updated to delete phone numbers or addresses when they are changed from listed to unlisted. While we have not received any claims from these individuals, we may receive claims in the future. Any liability that we incur as a result of content we receive from third parties could harm our financial results. We also gather personal information from users in order to provide personalized services. Gathering and processing this personal information may subject us to legal liability for negligence, defamation, invasion of privacy, product or service liability. We may also be subject to laws and regulations, both in the United States and abroad, regarding user privacy. Users of our services face security risks, which could subject us to liability. Users of online commerce services are highly concerned about the security of transmissions over public networks. Concerns over security and the privacy of users may inhibit the growth of the Internet and other online services generally, and the Web in particular, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions. We rely on secure socket layer technology, public key cryptography and digital certificate technology to provide the security and authentication necessary for secure transmission of confidential 26 information. Various regulatory and export restrictions may prohibit us from using the strongest and most secure cryptographic protection available and thereby expose us to a risk of data interception. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate confidential personal or proprietary information or interrupt our operations. Any such compromise or elimination of our security could reduce demand for our services. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against these security breaches or to address problems caused by these breaches. Concerns over the security of the Internet and other online and wireless transactions and the privacy of users may also inhibit the growth of the Internet and other online and wireless services generally, and the Web in particular, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions. Because some of our activities involve the storage and transmission of confidential personal or proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, security breaches could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. Our security measures may not prevent all attempted security breaches. Risks Related to our Industry The Internet infrastructure services market is new, and our business will suffer if the market does not develop as we expect. The Internet infrastructure services market is new and may not grow or be sustainable. Potential customers may choose not to purchase services from a third-party provider due to concerns about security, reliability, cost or system availability. It is possible that our services may never achieve market acceptance. We have a limited number of customers and we have not yet provided our services on the scale that is anticipated in the future. We incur operating expenses based largely on anticipated revenue trends that are difficult to predict given the recent emergence of the Internet infrastructure services market. If this market does not develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, we may not achieve significant market acceptance for our services and the rate of our revenue growth may decline. Our success depends on the continued growth in the usage of the Internet. Rapid growth in the use of and interest in the Internet has occurred only recently. Acceptance and use may not continue to develop at historical rates and a sufficiently broad base of consumers and businesses may not adopt or continue to use the Internet and other online services as a medium of commerce. Factors that may affect Internet usage include: . actual or perceived lack of security of information; . congestion of Internet traffic or other usage delays; and . reluctance to adopt new business methods. If Internet usage does not continue to increase, demand of our services may be limited and our business and results of operations could be harmed. Underdeveloped telecommunications and Internet infrastructure may limit the growth of the Internet overseas and the growth of our business. Access to the Internet requires advanced telecommunications infrastructure. The telecommunications infrastructure in many parts in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America is not as well developed as in the United States and is partly owned and operated by current or former national monopoly telecommunications carriers or may be subject to a restrictive regulatory environment. The quality and continued development of telecommunications infrastructure in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America will have a significant impact on our ability to deliver our services and on the market use and acceptance of the Internet in general. 27 In addition, the recent growth in the use of the Internet has caused frequent periods of performance degradation, requiring the upgrade of routers and switches, telecommunications links and other components forming the infrastructure of the Internet by Internet service providers and other organizations with links to the Internet. Any perceived degradation in the performance of the Internet as a whole could undermine the benefits of our services. The quality of our services is ultimately limited by and reliant upon the speed and reliability of Internet-related networks operated by third parties. Consequently, the emergence and growth of the market for our services is dependent on improvements being made to the entire Internet infrastructure in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America. Intense competition in the wireline, wireless and broadband markets could prevent us from entering those markets or cause us to lose market share. Our current business model depends on distribution of our consumer and commerce services to merchants and into the wireline, wireless and broadband markets, all of which are extremely competitive and rapidly changing. Our current and prospective competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, more developed infrastructures, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we have. Many of our competitors may be able to develop and expand their service offerings more rapidly, adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more quickly, take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily, achieve greater economies of scale, devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their services and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can. Because of these competitive factors and due to our relatively small size and financial resources we may be unable to compete successfully. Some of the companies we compete with are currently customers of ours, the loss of which could harm our business. Many of our current customers have established relationships with certain of our current and potential future competitors. If our competitors develop Internet information infrastructure services that compete with ours, our business will suffer. For a description of our competitors and competitive factors in our industry, see "Item 1. Business--Competition." The long-term viability of the Internet as a medium for commerce is not certain. Consumer use of the Internet as a medium for commerce is a recent phenomenon and is subject to a high level of uncertainty. While the number of Internet users has been rising, the Internet infrastructure may not expand fast enough to meet the increased levels of demand. The increased use of the Internet as a medium for commerce has raised concerns regarding Internet security, reliability, pricing, accessibility and quality of service. If use of the Internet as a medium for commerce does not continue to grow, or grows as a slower rate than we anticipate, or if the necessary Internet infrastructure or complementary services are not developed to effectively support growth that may occur, our business would be harmed. Our market is characterized by rapid technological change which could negatively affect our business. Rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, evolving customer demands and frequent new product and service introductions characterize our market. Our market's early stage of development exacerbates these characteristics. Our future success depends in significant part on our ability to develop and introduce compelling new services, including broadband services, on a timely and competitive basis and to improve the performance, content and reliability of our consumer and commerce services in response to both the evolving demands of the market and competitive product offerings. Our efforts in these areas may not be successful. If a large number of affiliates adopt new Internet technologies or standards, we may need to incur substantial expenditures modifying or adapting our enabling technologies and Internet information infrastructure services. If we are unable to be a technological leader in our market our business is likely to be harmed. 28 Consolidation in our industry could lead to increased competition and loss of customers. The Internet industry has recently experienced substantial consolidation. For example, AOL, which previously acquired Netscape, has merged with Time Warner, @Home has acquired Excite, and Compaq has acquired ZIP2. We expect this consolidation to continue. These acquisitions could adversely affect our business and results of operations in a number of ways, including: . companies from whom we acquire content could acquire or be acquired by one of our competitors and stop licensing content to us; . our customers or distribution partners could acquire or be acquired by one of our competitors and terminate their relationship with us; and . our customers could merge with other customers, which could reduce the size of our customer base. Governmental regulation and the application of existing laws to the Internet may slow the Internet's growth, increase our costs of doing business and create potential liability for the dissemination of information over the Internet. Laws and regulations governing Internet services, related communications services and information technologies and electronic commerce are beginning to emerge but remain largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel, telecommunications, and taxation, apply to the Internet and to related services such as ours. Uncertainty and new laws and regulations, as well as the application of existing laws to the Internet, in our markets could limit our ability to operate in these markets, expose us to compliance costs and substantial liability and result in costly and time consuming litigation. The international nature of the Internet and the possibility that we may be subject to conflicting laws of, or the exercise of jurisdiction by, different countries may make it difficult or impossible to comply with all the laws that may govern our activities. Furthermore, the laws and regulations relating to the liability of online service providers for information carried on or disseminated through their networks is currently unsettled. ITEM 2. Properties We have development, operations and administrative facilities in: Bellevue and Seattle, Washington; Mountain View, California; Provo, Utah; Montreal, Canada; Papendrecht, The Netherlands; London, United Kingdom; Sydney, Australia; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We also have sales offices in San Francisco, California; New York, New York; and Chicago, Illinois. In June 2000, we relocated to significantly larger facilities under a lease for a new principal administrative, engineering, marketing and sales facility located in Bellevue, Washington totaling approximately 137,419 square feet. Under the five-year lease, we will pay a monthly base rent of $359,009 per month during the first year, $252,647 per month during the second year, $263,551 per month during the third year, $265,373 per month during the fourth year and $276,276 per month during the final year. In connection with our acquisition of Go2Net, we assumed Go2Net's lease for its principal facility in Seattle, Washington. Rent for the 86,252 square-foot facility is currently $172,683 per month. The lease is for a term of seven years and expires in 2007. Our systems and operations at these locations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, break- ins, earthquake and similar events. See "Factors Affecting Our Operating Results, Business Prospects and Market Price of Stock--Poor performance in or disruption of the services we deliver to our customers could harm our reputation, delay market acceptance of our services and subject us to liability." 29 ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings From time to time we have been, and expect to continue to be, subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of third-party trademarks and other intellectual property rights by us. These claims, even if not meritorious, could require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. On December 18, 2000, an employee filed a complaint against us in federal court in Washington alleging claims for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. The employee contends that he agreed to work for us on the basis of an oral representation that he would be granted more stock options than any other employee and that he would always have more stock options than any other employee. The employee also contends that he was falsely promised certain levels of authority and support in his position. The employee seeks unspecified compensatory damages from us as well as equitable relief requiring us to award him the largest number of stock options of any employee in the future. Additionally, on the basis of a claim against Naveen Jain for violations of the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, the employee also seeks trebling of any award of compensatory damages and recovery of his attorneys' fees and costs. No trial date has been set. On March 30, 2001, the employee's claim against us alleging breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing was dismissed. We believe we have meritorious defenses to these claims. Nevertheless, litigation is uncertain and we may not prevail in this suit. One of the shareholders of INEX Corporation filed a complaint on September 22, 1999 alleging that the original shareholders of INEX and INEX itself were bound by a shareholders agreement that entitled the shareholder to pre-emptive rights and rights of first refusal. The complaint alleges that INEX improperly made private placements, issued employee options and permitted share transfers after February 1997. The plaintiff alleges it should have acquired rights in approximately 88% of the INEX share capital, which would be less than one percent of our common stock after conversion. The plaintiff also alleges other breaches of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate oppression, unlawful interference with economic relation and conspiracy. The complaint was amended on December 20, 1999 to allege we assumed the obligations of INEX under the alleged shareholders agreement as a result of our acquisition of INEX on October 14, 1999. The plaintiff seeks damages against us and the former INEX shareholders named in the suit for the difference between the issue or sale price of INEX shares issued or transferred after February 1997 and before the acquisition, and the highest trading value of the shares of our common stock received or receivable in the exchange prior to the date of trial. In the alternative, the plaintiff seeks special damages of $50 million Canadian. The plaintiff also seeks $500,000 Canadian in punitive damages and other remedies with regard to the disputed shares of stock. We have filed our response with the court, and discovery has yet to take place. We believe we have meritorious defenses to such claims but litigation is uncertain and we may not prevail in this suit. On March 19, 2001, one of our stockholders filed a derivative lawsuit in King County Superior Court, Seattle, Washington. The complaint names current and former executive officers and directors of ours, their marital communities and related entities as defendants. As a shareholder derivative suit, the complaint also names InfoSpace, Inc. as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff alleges insider trading on the part of certain defendants, breach of fiduciary duties by our directors in connection with the acquisition of Go2Net and other breaches of contractual obligations and fiduciary duties in connection with the Prio and Go2Net acquisitions. The plaintiffs are seeking various equitable remedies, including disgorgement of profits from insider trading, restitution, accounting and imposition of a constructive trust, unspecified monetary damages, and attorney's fees. We are currently investigating and assessing the claims at issue and preparing our response. As noted above, the complaint is derivative in nature and does not seek monetary damages from, or the imposition of equitable remedies on, us. However, under some circumstances, we may have certain obligations to indemnify our directors and officers. Two of nine founding shareholders of Authorize.Net Corporation, a subsidiary recently acquired through our merger with Go2Net, filed a lawsuit on May 2, 2000 in Provo, Utah. This action was brought to reallocate amongst the founding shareholders the consideration received in the acquisition of Authorize.Net by Go2Net. The plaintiffs allege that the corporate officers of Authorize.Net fraudulently obtained a percentage of 30 Authorize.Net shares greater than what was anticipated by the founding shareholders, and are making claims under the Utah Uniform Securities Act as well as claims of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, conflict of interest, breach of contract and related claims. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages in the amount of $200 million, rescission of certain transactions in Authorize.Net securities, and declaratory and injunctive relief. The plaintiffs subsequently amended the claim to name Authorize.Net as a defendant with regard to the claims under the Utah Uniform Securities Act. The case is currently in the discovery phase, which is expected to end on April 20, 2001. We have filed a motion for summary judgment on behalf of Authorize.Net. We believe we have meritorious defenses to these claims. Nevertheless, litigation is uncertain and we may not prevail in this suit. On December 15, 1999, a former employee filed a complaint against us in federal court in New Jersey alleging claims for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and promissory estoppel. The former employee contended that he agreed to work for InfoSpace on the basis of certain misrepresentations, that he entered into an agreement with us that entitled him to an option to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock, and that he was terminated without cause. The former employee sought (1) the right to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock, (2) unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and (3) litigation costs and attorney's fees. The case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. By order dated September 14, 2000, the Court dismissed with prejudice the former employee's claims for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and promissory estoppel. The case was settled in January 2001. Authorize.Net Corporation was named as a defendant in a suit filed in June 2000 that purports to be a class action brought on behalf of persons who leased "virtual terminals" to Authorize.Net among a myriad of other non-Authorize.Net products in connection with actual or proposed Internet businesses. The leases were allegedly financed by a third-party unaffiliated leasing company in connection with sales efforts by a third-party unaffiliated reseller. The suit, as it relates to Authorize.Net, alleges that the leases of the products at issue were actually sales and that they were financed by the leasing company at usurious rates. The suit further alleges that the reseller was acting as an agent of Authorize.Net in these activities. Authorize.Net was dismissed without prejudice as a defendant from this suit in December 2000, and no additional claims were made against Authorize.Net prior to the deadline to amend the complaint in February 2001.

Overview InfoSpace, Inc. is an international provider of commerce and consumer infrastructure services to merchants and on wireless, wireline and broadband platforms. We provide our services across multiple platforms simultaneously, including PCs and non-PC devices, such as screen telephones, television set-top boxes and online kiosks, which use ground wire Internet connections (wireline devices) and wireless devices such as cell phones, pagers and personal digital assistants. We are also preparing to enter the market for infrastructure services which take greater advantage of high-speed (known as broadband) wireline and wireless Internet connections, such as interactive gaming, television and other entertainment services. Our customers include AT&T Wireless, Cingular Wireless, Intel, Virgin Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Hasbro, National Discount Brokers and Bloomberg, among others. Our affiliate network is comprised of more than 3,200 Web sites, including America Online, Microsoft's MSN, NBCi, Lycos and ABC's LocalNet. Naveen Jain, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, founded InfoSpace in March 1996. During the period from our inception through December 31, 1996, we had insignificant revenues and were primarily engaged in the development of technology for the aggregation, integration and distribution of Internet content and the hiring of employees. In 1997, we expanded our operations, adding business development and sales personnel in order to capitalize on the opportunity to generate Internet advertising revenues. We began generating material revenues in 1997 with our wireline consumer services. Revenues in 1998 were also primarily generated through our wireline consumer services and we also started distributing our services on wireless platforms. Throughout 1999 and 2000, we expanded and enhanced our infrastructure services through both internal development and acquisitions and focused on developing and deploying our infrastructure services to merchants and on wireless platforms. We have offices in the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. As of February 28, 2001, we had 1,033 employees worldwide. Our Infrastructure Services The following provides greater detail on our consumer and commerce products and services: Consumer Products and Services: The consumer products and services we offer include unified communication services, including device-independent e-mail and instant messaging; information services, such as integrated directory, news, and lifestyle information; and community services, including the "sticky" services such as online address books and calendars. We deliver our consumer products and services through our wireline, wireless and broadband distribution channels. Our affiliates encompass an international network of wireless, PC and non-PC devices, including cellular phones, pagers, screen telephones, television set-top boxes, online kiosks and personal digital assistants. Commerce Products and Services: Our commerce products and services enable merchants to leverage the Internet to promote their businesses and to conduct commerce through exposure to participating consumers throughout our international network, whether on wireless devices or on PCs. 34 Our commerce products and services include the online delivery of promotions to wireless devices and PCs for online and offline use, shopping that includes e-wallet and price comparison features, and our Authorize.Net payment authorization service for businesses. Our Distribution Channels We currently focus on distributing our consumer and commerce products and services to merchant aggregators, RBOCs and other merchant networks as well as to our wireline, wireless and broadband partners. These distribution channels comprise our four areas of business focus. The following provides detail on each of our business areas. Wireline: Through our wireline business unit, we distribute our consumer products and services such as PIM, instant messaging and search to our affiliates that include Web sites (including portals) and businesses. Our affiliate network now consists of over 3,200 portals and affinity sites that include America Online, Microsoft's MSN, NBCi, Lycos, and ABC's LocalNet. Wireless: Our wireless services include data and transaction services that users can access from varying locations, on a variety of devices, over different protocols or standards. Our wireless services platform serves as the underlying infrastructure for wireless carriers and device and equipment manufacturers to offer their customers the ability to conduct commerce, access information, communicate and manage their lives. We currently have relationships with more than 20 domestic and international wireless carriers, including Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Cingular Wireless, VoiceStream, Austria One, ALLTEL, Virgin Mobile and Powertel, and equipment manufacturers such as Nokia, Nortel, Lucent and Ericsson. Our consumer and commerce products and services are private-labeled for each carrier, preserving the brand of the carrier and their relationship with their customer. Merchant: Our commerce services enable merchants to create, promote, sell and distribute their products and services across multiple channels through our distribution network to the end users of our services. We have reseller agreements with RBOCs, merchant banks and major merchant aggregators such as Bank of America and American Express, and local media networks such as newspapers and television and radio stations. Currently, over two million merchants use one or more of our commerce products and services. Broadband: We plan to deliver integrated, cross-platform broadband (DSL, 2.5/3G, cable modem, iTV, satellite) services to customers worldwide. These services will include a comprehensive infrastructure services suite for businesses, and interactive TV services which combine broadcast programming with interactive applications for media companies and service providers. All of our services are built on our core technology platform and use the same operational infrastructure. We do not allocate development or operating costs to any of these services. We have incurred losses since our inception and, as of December 31, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $408.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2000, our net loss available to common shareholders totaled $282.0 million, including amortization of intangibles of $174.4 million and $124.0 million in acquisition and related charges associated with the acquisitions of Prio, Saraide, Millet Software, IQorder and Go2Net, of which $80.1 million was a non-cash charge for in-process research and development associated with the acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 1999, our net loss available to common shareholders totaled $240.1 million, including a $159.9 preferred stock dividend recorded by Go2Net in connection with the preferred stock sold to Vulcan Ventures in March and June 1999, $13.6 million in acquisition and related charges and $11.4 million in impairment and other charges. See "-- Acquisitions." We believe that our future success will depend largely on our ability to continue to offer consumer and commerce products and services to merchants and on wireline, wireless and broadband platforms that are 35 attractive to our existing and potential future merchants and partners. Accordingly, we plan to increase our operating expenses in order to, among other things: . develop and continually enhance our technology and products and services; . expand our services and sell to our existing carrier partners a unified private label solution that will work across all their networks, including wireless, broadband DSL and narrowband ISP; . expand internationally; . increase capital equipment expenditures to meet service level agreement requirements and build-out infrastructure in Europe, South America and Asia; and . expand our commerce services and sell additional services to our existing merchants and merchant aggregator partners and grow our network of merchants. After giving effect to our recent acquisitions and associated amortization of intangibles, we expect to incur significant operating losses on a quarterly basis in the future. In light of the rapidly evolving nature of our business and limited operating history, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as indications of future performance. We do not believe that our historical growth rates are necessarily sustainable or indicative of future growth. Our future operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which would likely cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

Currently our revenues are derived from our consumer and commerce products and services, which are distributed to users and subscribers on wireline, wireless and broadband platforms and to merchants via merchant aggregators including merchant banks and local media networks. We tailor agreements to fit the needs of our wireless carriers, merchant aggregators, affiliates and distribution partners, and under any one agreement we may earn revenue from a combination of our consumer and commerce products and services. We report revenues by our four distribution channels, which are merchant, wireline, wireless and broadband. Revenues were $214.5 million the year ended December 31, 2000, $72.0 million the year ended December 31, 1999 and $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increases are primarily due to significant growth in all of our consumer and commerce products and services as a result of increased expansion of our affiliate network, increased traffic to our affiliate network, launch of new products and services, growth of our merchant network and increased use of our consumer and commerce products and services by wireless carriers and device manufacturers. Also included in revenue are barter revenues generated from non-cash transactions as defined by EITF 99-17, Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions. Revenue is recognized when we complete all of our obligations under the agreement. For non-cash agreements, we record a receivable or liability at the end of the reporting period for the difference in the fair value of the services provided or received. We recognized $9.8 million in 2000, $948,000 in 1999 and $852,000 in 1998 from non-cash agreements. Non-cash transactions are common in our industry. However, we have adopted an internal policy of limiting advertising barter transactions to approximately five percent of our total revenues. We hold warrants in public and privately held companies for business and strategic purposes. Certain of these warrants were issued in conjunction with a business agreement whereby we provide our products and services to the issuer. These warrants contain provisions that require us to meet specific performance criteria under the business agreement in order for the warrants to vest. When we meet our performance obligations we record revenue equal to the fair value of the warrant. We recorded revenue in the amount of $22.1 million for vesting in performance warrants for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. No performance warrant revenue was recognized in the year ended December 31, 1998. Revenue recognized from warrants attached to a business agreement is driven by the valuation of the business issuing the warrant. We anticipate warrant revenue in 2001 will be less than the amount of warrant revenue reported for 2000. Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists of expenses associated with the delivery, maintenance and support of our consumer and commerce products and services, including direct personnel expenses, communication costs such as high-speed Internet access, server equipment depreciation, and content license fees. Cost of revenues were $35.6 million, or 16.6% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared to $13.5 million, or 18.7% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $4.9 million, or 26.6% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1998. The absolute dollar increases are primarily attributable to personnel costs and other costs incurred in order to support greatly increased delivery of our consumer and commerce solutions, including communication lines, data licenses and equipment. We expect the absolute dollars spent on personnel, enhanced content and expanded communications will continue to increase in the foreseeable future. Product Development Expenses. Product development expenses consist principally of personnel costs for research, design, maintenance and ongoing enhancement of the proprietary technology we use to integrate and distribute our consumer and commerce services to merchants and on wireline, wireless and broadband platforms. Product development expenses were $40.6 million or 19.0% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared to $15.6 million or 21.6% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $9.0 million, or 48.7% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increases in absolute dollars are primarily attributable to increases in engineering personnel needed for continued development of our 37 products and service offerings. We believe that significant investments in technology are necessary to remain competitive. Accordingly, we expect product development expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we hire additional personnel who will continue to develop and enhance our proprietary technology. Sales, General and Administrative Expenses. Sales, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits for sales, general and administrative personnel, carriage fees, professional service fees, occupancy and general office expenses, business development and management travel expenses and advertising and promotion expenses. Sales, general and administrative expenses were $125.1 million or 58.3% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $77.8 million or 108.1% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $23.9 million or 129.2% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 1998. The absolute dollar increases from the prior year were primarily due to increased staffing levels necessary to manage and support our sales and operations teams, carriage fees paid to certain affiliates, occupancy costs including the expansion of our facilities and professional services. Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles includes amortization of goodwill, core technology, purchased domain names, trademark, contract lists and assembled workforce. Amortization of intangibles was $171.3 million in 2000, compared to $42.7 million in 1999, and $710,000 in 1998. The increases are a result of amortization of intangibles recorded from the acquisitions of the iJapan technology in September 2000, TDLI.com and Orchest in August 2000, IQorder in July 2000, Saraide and Millet Software in March 2000, Zephyr Software and eComLive in December of 1999, Union-Street and Free Yellow.com in October 1999, Dogpile LLC in August 1999, Authorize.Net in July 1999, the MyAgent technology acquisition in June 1999, Virtual Avenue in April 1999 and Outpost Network in July 1998. The intangibles consist of goodwill, core technology, contract list and acquired workforce for each acquisition and are being amortized over three to five years. We acquired Locus Dialogue on January 1, 2001. Amortization expense for the intangibles acquired in this transaction will be included in the first quarter of 2001. In addition, amortization expense for our December 2000 acquisition of assets of the boxLot company will be recorded in the first quarter of 2001. In the event that we complete additional acquisitions, expenses relating to the amortization of intangibles could increase in the future. Acquisition and Related Charges. Acquisition and other related charges consist of in-process research and development and other one-time charges related directly to acquisitions, such as professional fees for transactions accounted for as pooling of interests. Total acquisition and related charges in 2000 were $124.0 million. The acquisition and related charges in 2000 included $80.1 million of one-time in-process research and development charges in the purchase acquisitions of IQorder, Saraide and Millet Software. Also included were costs incurred in the acquisitions of Go2Net and Prio, which were both accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Total acquisition and related charges in 1999 were $13.6 million. The acquisition and related charges in 1999 included $9.2 million of one-time in-process research and development charges in the purchase acquisitions of eComLive, Union-Street and the MyAgent technology. Also included were costs incurred in the acquisition of INEX, which was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Total acquisition and related charges in 1998 were $4.5 million. The acquisition and related charges in 1998 included $2.8 million of one-time in-process research and development charges in the purchase acquisition of Outpost. Also included were costs incurred in the pooling acquisition of Silicon Investor. In the event we complete additional acquisitions, we could incur additional acquisition and related charges in the future. Impairment and Other Charges. Impairment and other charges consist of one- time costs and/or charges that are not directly associated with other expense classifications or ongoing operations. Impairment and other charges for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $29.5 million and included settlement charges on two litigation matters of $1.4 million and $357,000, impairment of intangible assets of $9.0 million, impairment of investments of $9.8 million, an allowance recorded on an employee loan of $3.1 million, $3.0 million for estimated liability of past overtime worked, and $2.9 million of warrant expense recorded for the fair value of warrants issued by Prio, Inc. See "-- Acquisitions," "--Balance Sheet Commentary" and "Item 3. Legal Proceedings." 38 In January 2001, we reached a settlement with an alleged former employee from a complaint that was originally filed on December 15, 1999. Under the terms of the settlement, the alleged former employee received a cash payment of $1.4 million. As this subsequent event was related to services allegedly provided in prior periods, we recorded the expense in the fourth quarter of 2000. We regularly evaluate the recorded amount of the intangible assets, including goodwill, assembled workforce, acquired contracts and core technology, for impairment. At December 31, 2000 we determined that intangible assets from two purchase acquisitions had been impaired. We evaluated the potential future cash flows and the ability to transfer the assets in connection with a sale and determined that there were no future cash flows and no market for the assets. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $9.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2000. We regularly review all of our investments in public and private companies for other than temporary declines in fair value. When we determine that the decline in fair value of an investment below our accounting basis is other than temporary, we reduce the carrying value of the securities we hold and record a loss in the amount of any such decline. During the three months ended December 31, 2000, we determined that the declines in value of two of our investments were other than temporary and recognized losses totaling $9.8 million to record these investments at their current fair value as of December 31, 2000. We were audited by the Department of Labor in February 2001. The Department of Labor determined that numerous employees, primarily former employees of Go2Net, were improperly classified as exempt that should have been classified as non-exempt. As a result, we recorded an estimated accrual in the amount of $3.0 million for the past wages that are due for overtime worked. We expect this matter to be resolved in 2001. In the year ended December 31, 2000 impairment and other charges included an expense of $2.9 million for the fair value of warrants issued by Prio. Prio had issued warrants for services which vested as the services were provided. Subsequent to the acquisition of Prio, the agreement pursuant to which these warrants were granted was terminated and the remaining unvested warrants became fully vested. No additional expense for these warrants will be recorded in future quarters. Impairment and other charges in 1999 and 1998 consist of costs associated with litigation settlements. In February 2000, we reached a settlement with an alleged employee in a lawsuit for a cash payment of $10.5 million. We accrued and expensed this liability in 1999. On July 23, 1999, we settled a patent infringement claim in exchange for a lump sum royalty payment of $209,500. This expense was recorded in 1999. On February 22, 1999, we reached a settlement with a former employee for a cash payment of $4.5 million. We accrued and expensed this liability in 1998. In 1998, Go2Net recorded an impairment charge of $398,000 associated with the impairment write-off of technology from the Playsite acquisition. Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 reflect actual and estimated costs associated with the closure of our Dallas, Texas and our Ottawa, Canada facilities. These costs are primarily comprised of the write-off of leasehold improvements, early lease termination penalties and other personnel costs. We acquired these facilities in the acquisition of Saraide Inc. in March of 2000. Our decision to close the Dallas, Texas facility was made in the second quarter of 2000. Our decision to close the Ottawa, Canada facility was made in the fourth quarter of 2000. Gain (Loss) on Investments Held. Gain on investments represents net unrealized and realized gains and losses on the investments in the InfoSpace Venture Capital Fund 2000 and net realized gains and losses on investments held by InfoSpace. In accordance with the Investment Company Audit Guide, the investments in the Fund are recorded at their fair value and the unrealized gains are reflected in the income statement in the Fund, which is fully consolidated. The unrealized gain recognized in the year ended December 31, 2000 is not necessarily indicative of future results. Minority Interest. As the majority holder of the InfoSpace Venture Capital Fund 2000 (Venture Fund), we have consolidated the balance sheet and statement of operations of the Venture Fund in our consolidated 39 financial statements. As of December 31, 2000, InfoSpace owned 60.25% of the fund and our employees owned the remaining 39.75% of the fund. The employee- owned interest has been reflected as minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations. On January 26, 2001, our Board of Directors approved the liquidation of the Venture Fund. Through March 2, 2001, we have disbursed $16,315,000 to the accredited investors. We expect to liquidate the Fund by the end of the first quarter of 2001. The Board of Directors also approved the acceleration of vesting of our contribution on behalf of our employees, resulting in compensation expense of approximately $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2001. This contribution will be distributed to employees in connection with the dissolution of the Fund. Once the dissolution is complete, all investments held by the Fund will revert to investments held by InfoSpace, Inc. Other Income, Net. Other income consists primarily of interest income for all periods. Other income was $27.7 million in 2000, $22.3 million in 1999 and $946,000 in 1998. The increase from the prior years is primarily due to interest earned on higher average cash balances resulting from private financings in July and August of 1998, the net proceeds from our initial public offering completed in December 1998, the net proceeds from our follow-on offering, which closed in April 1999, and the net proceeds Go2Net received from the sale of preferred stock in March and June 1999. We have reinvested and will continue to reinvest part of our fixed income securities in non-interest bearing equity instruments and investments. We anticipate that our expansion plans may require greater cash uses in 2001 than in prior years. With these two factors, we anticipate that our interest income from our fixed securities will decrease in 2001 compared with 2000. Income Tax Expense. We have recorded tax expense of approximately $137,000 for our international operations in Europe. For 2001, we do not anticipate recording a tax provision. For 2002, we expect a tax rate of 15% to 35%. For 2003 and beyond, we expect a tax rate of 35%. Preferred Stock Dividend. Go2Net sold to Vulcan Ventures preferred stock in March and June 1999. This stock was sold at a discount to the price of common stock into which the preferred stock was then convertible. The discount of $159.9 million was recognized as a dividend to Vulcan in the year ended December 31, 1999. Balance Sheet Commentary Accounts Receivable. As our revenues have grown, our current receivable balance has increased as we are invoicing larger dollar amounts at the end of each month. We are also issuing single invoices for larger dollar amounts. In addition, as we enter into agreements for larger amounts with well-established companies, we periodically provide extended payment terms beyond our standard 15 to 30 day terms to allow for the customer's internal approval and payment processing systems. In the quarter ended December 31, 2000, our day's sales outstanding (DSO) was 48 days. We expect DSOs in the future to be in the range of 50 to 60 days. Our December 31, 2000 accounts receivable balance includes two customer balances that comprise 33% of the balance. Both of these customer balances were collected in full subsequent to year-end. Notes and Other Receivable. Notes and other receivables is primarily comprised of interest receivable, advances to employees, a fully secured note to a former officer, an unsecured note to a former officer, a partially secured note to a current officer, and a secured loan to an unrelated third party with whom we had a business relationship, that is secured by the intangible assets of the third party, including intellectual property. At December 31, 2000 we recorded a valuation allowance on the partially secured note in the amount of $3.1 million, which included potential payroll tax expense of approximately $870,000 associated with the difference between the fair market value of the stock on December 31, 2000 securing the note and the outstanding note balance on that date. 40 Accrued Expenses. At December 31, 2000 accrued expenses of $38.0 million includes $15.3 million in acquisition costs related to the merger with Go2Net, $9.4 million in salary and other personnel related costs, $2.5 million in legal and accounting costs, $2.0 million of settlement charges, $1.7 million in revenue share and $7.0 million of other miscellaneous accruals. Liquidity and Capital Resources From our inception in March 1996 through May 1998, we funded operations with approximately $1.5 million in equity financing and, to a lesser extent, from revenues generated for services performed. In April 1997 Go2Net completed its initial public offering which yielded net proceeds of approximately $12.8 million. In May 1998, we completed a $5.1 million private placement of our common stock, and in July and August 1998, we completed an additional private placement of our common stock for $8.2 million. Sales of our common stock to employees pursuant to our 1998 Stock Purchase Rights Plan also raised $1.7 million in July 1998. Our initial public offering in December 1998 yielded net proceeds of $77.8 million and a follow-on public offering in April 1999 yielded net proceeds of $185.0 million. As of December 31, 2000, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $370.1 million and long-term investments of $32.5 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.8 million in 2000. Significant components of cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 were depreciation and amortization and write-offs of acquired in-process research and development, net operating losses, increases of accounts receivable and decreases in accrued expenses. Net cash used by operating activities was $11.8 million in 1999. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 consisted primarily of net operating losses and increases in accounts receivable, other receivable and prepaid expenses. These uses of cash were partially offset by increases in accrued expenses and the discount on the issuance of preferred stock by Go2Net accounted for as a non-cash dividend. Net cash used by operating activities was $12.6 million in 1998. Cash used in operating activities in 1998 consisted primarily of net operating losses and increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses. These uses of cash were partially offset by increases in accrued expenses and accounts payable. Net cash used by investing activities was $5.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2000. For 2000, cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of business acquisitions, securities investments, other investments, notes receivable issued and purchase of property and equipment in connection with our Bellevue headquarters. Net cash used by investing activities was $423.3 million in the year ended December 31, 1999. For 1999, cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of business acquisitions, securities investments, other investments and purchase of fixed assets. The change in securities investments is primarily a result of investing proceeds from our follow-on offering in short and long-term investments as well as investing proceeds from the March and June 1999 preferred stock issuance by Go2Net. Net cash used in investing activities in 1998 was $94.5 million. This was primarily a result of investing the cash proceeds from our initial public offering in short and long-term investments. Cash provided by financing activities in 2000 was $38.3 million and was primarily comprised of our net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Cash provided by financing activities in 1999 was $498.3 million and was primarily comprised of our net proceeds from our follow-on offering in April 1999 and the net proceeds from the March and June 1999 preferred stock issuance by Go2Net. Cash provided by financing activities in 1998 was $125.6 million. The 1998 net proceeds were primarily from our initial public offering and, to a lesser extent, from private placements of common stock. We plan to use our cash for strategic investments and acquisitions, investments in internally developed technology, global expansion of our services and continued build-out of infrastructure in Europe, Asia and South America. We believe that existing cash balances, cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 41 12 months. However, the underlying assumed levels of revenues and expenses may not prove to be accurate. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings or other arrangements prior to such time. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders will result. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business. Acquisitions Locus Dialogue, Inc. On January 1, 2001, we acquired Montreal, Canada-based Locus Dialogue, Inc., a developer of speech recognition-enabled applications. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. We issued or will issue up to 5,169,150 shares of our common stock (1) directly to those Locus Dialogue shareholders who elected to receive our common stock in exchange for their Locus Dialogue shares at the closing of the acquisition, (2) upon the exchange or redemption of the exchangeable shares of Locus Holdings Inc., an indirect subsidiary of ours, which exchangeable shares were issued to those Locus Dialogue shareholders who elected to receive exchangeable shares, or who did not make an election to receive shares of our common stock at the closing, (3) upon the exercise of options granted to replace options of Locus Dialogue held at the closing.

Quarterly Results of Operations The following table presents a summary of our consolidated results of operations for the eight quarters ended December 31, 2000.

The results of operations have been recast to reflect the mergers with Go2Net and Prio, which were accounted for as poolings-of-interests. Also, the results have been restated to reflect an adjustment in the quarter ended December 31, 1999, as described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements. The impact of the adjustment was to increase revenue and decrease net loss by $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999.

Because of these fluctuations, we believe that period-to-period comparisons are not a good indication of our future financial performance. We may not be able to sustain or increase our level of revenue or our rate of revenue growth on a quarterly or annual basis. Our quarterly or annual operating results may not meet the expectations of investors. If this happens, the price of our stock could decline. See "Factors Affecting Our Operating Results, Business Prospects and Market Price of Stock--Our financial results are likely to continue to fluctuate and could cause our stock price to continue to decline" and "--Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be volatile." Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. We adopted SAB 101 on January 1, 2000. Prior to January 1, 2000 and implementation of the SAB, we recorded gross revenues from customers for development fees, implementation fees and/or integration fees when the service was completed. If this revenue were recognized on a straight-line basis, in accordance with SAB 101, we would have deferred revenue of $2.1 million as of January 1, 2000, originally recorded in prior years. In accordance with SAB 101, we recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $2.1 million. We recognized $2.0 million in revenue in the year ended December 31, 2000 related to this deferred revenue. The remaining balance will be recognized from January 2001 through November 2001. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is effective for us for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 as amended and interpreted, established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, will be required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash-flow hedge, changes in fair value of the derivative and the hedged item will be recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and will be recognized on the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. SFAS 133 defines new requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings. We have determined that certain warrants held to purchase stock in other companies will be derivative instruments under SFAS 133. We will record a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in net income of $3.0 million on January 1, 2001 to record these warrants on the balance sheet at fair value. Except as it relates to these warrants, management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133 to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44 (FIN No. 44), Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. FIN No. 44 was effective July 1, 2000. This interpretation provides guidance on valuing vested and unvested stock options of the acquired company in conjunction with recording purchase transactions. This interpretation impacted our accounting for the acquisition of IQOrder resulting in an increase to the purchase price of these acquisitions in total in the amount of $11.1 million. This interpretation also impacted the purchase price of our acquisition of Locus Dialogue, which closed on January 1, 2001. ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and equity price fluctuations. Interest Rate Risk. We invest our excess cash in high-quality corporate issuers, and in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies. By policy, we limit our credit exposure to any one issuer. We do not have any derivative instruments in our investment portfolio. We protect and preserve invested funds by limiting 47 default, market and reinvestment risk. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2000, our short-term investment balance was $231.2 million. A one percent movement in interest rates could impact us by approximately $2.3 million, which would not significantly impact our financial position or results of operations. Equity Investment Risk. We invest in equity instruments of public and privately-held, technology companies for business and strategic purposes. These investments are recorded as long-term assets and are classified as available- for-sale. For the privately-held investments, our policy is to regularly review the assumptions underlying the operating performance and cash flow forecasts in assessing the carrying value. For our publicly-held investments, we are subject to significant fluctuations in fair market value due to the volatility of the stock market. Changes in fair market value for investments held by InfoSpace are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and do not effect net income until the securities are sold and a realized gain or loss is incurred. Changes in fair market value for investments held by the Venture Fund are recorded are recorded through the statement of operations and had material effects on net income in 2000. The expected closure of the Venture Fund in the first quarter of 2001 will alleviate this risk as the Venture Fund investments will revert back to InfoSpace and unrealized gains and losses will be recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Foreign Currency Risk: We operate remote offices in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia and Brazil. Historically, the foreign currency exchange rate exposure has had a minimal impact on our financial results. We do not expect this exposure to be material in the future. 48 ITEM 8.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of business: InfoSpace, Inc., (the Company or InfoSpace), previously known as InfoSpace.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in March 1996. The Company is an international provider of cross-platform commerce and consumer infrastructure services on wireless, broadband and wireline platforms. InfoSpace provides commerce, information and communication infrastructure services for wireless devices, merchants and Web sites. Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Basis of Presentation: During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Go2Net, Inc. (Go2Net) and Prio, Inc. (Prio) These acquisitions were accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's historical consolidated financial statements have been recast to include the financial results of Go2Net and Prio as if both companies were wholly owned subsidiaries since inception. Because the fiscal periods of the Company and Go2Net were not the same, the fiscal year financial statements of Go2Net for the two years in the period ended September 30, 1999 were recast to the two years ended December 31, 1999. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 have also been restated to give effect to an adjustment made to Go2Net's previously issued financial information. This adjustment resulted in an increase in assets of $8.4 million, deferred revenue of $7.2 million and retained earnings of $1.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 1999. Additionally, revenue increased and net loss decreased by $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The adjustment was related to the fair value originally assigned to warrants received in conjunction with a service agreement in August 1999. The total value of the warrants received is being recognized in revenue on a straight- line basis over the three year life of the service agreement. Go2Net's fiscal year-end was September 30 prior to the merger with InfoSpace. All fiscal year end periods for Go2Net have been adjusted to conform with the InfoSpace December 31 year-end. All references to shares in Go2Net acquisitions reflect the merger exchange ratio. The InfoSpace Venture Capital Fund 2000 started on January 1, 2000. The fund's financial statements are consolidated in the Company's financial statements, as the Company holds the majority interest in the fund. In accordance with Venture Fund accounting, the Company accounts for the investments in the fund at fair value, which is carried forward in consolidation. Business combinations: Business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting include the results of operations of the acquired business from the date of acquisition. Net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Amounts allocated to in-process research and development are expensed in the period of acquisition. Business combinations accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting include the financial position and results of operations as if the acquired company had been a wholly-owned subsidiary since inception. In such cases, the assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity of the acquired entities were combined with the Company's respective amounts at their recorded values. The equity of the acquired entity is reflected on an as-if-converted basis to InfoSpace equity at the time of issuance. Prior period financial statements have been recast to give effect to the merger. Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements of the pooled entities to conform with the Company's presentation. 55 INFOSPACE, INC.

Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle: On January 1, 2000, the Company adopted SAB 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Prior to January 1, 2000, the Company recorded revenues from customers for development fees, implementation fees and/or integration fees when the service was completed. If this revenue were recognized on a straight-lined basis over the term of the related service agreements, in accordance with SAB 101, the Company would have deferred revenue of $2.1 million as of January 1, 2000 originally recorded in prior years. In accordance with SAB 101, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $2.1 million. The Company recognized $2.0 million in revenue in the year ended December 31, 2000 related to this deferred revenue. The remaining amount will be recognized from January 2001 through November 2001. Foreign currencies: Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in Other income, net. Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and trade receivables. These instruments are generally unsecured and uninsured. The Company also has notes receivable that subject the Company to concentration of credit risk (Note 3). The Company places its cash equivalents and investments with major financial institutions. The Company operates in one business segment and sells consumer and commerce services to various companies across several industries. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in the United States operating in a wide variety of industries and geographic areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. For the years ended December 31, 2000 no one customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, one customer accounted for approximately 11% of revenues. At December 31, 2000, one customer accounted for approximately 18% of accounts receivable and another customer accounted for approximately 15% of accounts receivable. Both these balances have been collected subsequent to year-end. At December 31, 1999, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. Fair value of financial instruments: Financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, trade and notes receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, deferred revenues and warrants in other entities. Except for the fair values of investments disclosed in Notes 2 and 4, the Notes and other receivables disclosed in Note 3 and the warrants disclosed later in Note 1, the carrying value of financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Income taxes: The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the book and tax basis of 59 INFOSPACE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 assets and liabilities. The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a full valuation allowance is required. Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 and 1998 balances to conform with the 2000 presentation. Stock splits: A two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock was effected in May 1999. A second two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock was effected in January 2000. A third two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock was effected in April 2000. All references in the financial statements to shares, share prices, per share amounts and stock plans have been adjusted retroactively for these stock splits. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) 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 amounts may differ from estimates. Recent accounting pronouncements: SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 as amended and interpreted, established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, will be required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated in a cash-flow hedge, changes in fair value of the derivative and the hedged item will be recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and will be recognized on the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. SFAS 133 defines new requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings. The Company's management has determined that certain warrants held to purchase stock in other companies will be derivative instruments under SFAS 133. The Company will record a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in net income of $3.0 million on January 1, 2001 to record these warrants on the balance sheet at fair value. Except as it relates to these warrants, management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133 to have a significant impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation: On December 18, 2000, an employee filed a complaint against the Company in federal court in Washington alleging claims for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. The employee contends that he agreed to work for the Company on the basis of an oral representation that he would be granted more stock options than any other employee and that he would always have more stock options than any other employee. The employee also contends that he was falsely promised certain levels of authority and support in his position. The employee seeks unspecified compensatory damages from the Company as well as equitable relief requiring the Company to award him the largest number of stock options of any employee in the future. Additionally, on the basis of a claim against Naveen Jain for violations of the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, the employee also seeks trebling of any award of compensatory damages and recovery of his attorneys' fees and costs. No trial date has been set. The Company's management believes the Company has meritorious defenses to such claims. Nevertheless, litigation is uncertain and the Company may not prevail in this suit. One of the shareholders of INEX Corporation filed a complaint on September 22, 1999 alleging that the original shareholders of INEX and INEX itself were bound by a shareholders agreement that entitled the shareholder to pre-emptive rights and rights of first refusal. The complaint alleges that INEX improperly made private placements, issued employee options and permitted share transfers after February 1997. The plaintiff alleges it should have acquired rights in approximately 88% of the INEX share capital, which would be less than one percent of the Company's Common Stock after conversion. The plaintiff also alleges other breaches of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate oppression, unlawful interference with economic relation and conspiracy. The complaint was amended on December 20, 1999 to allege that the Company assumed the obligations of INEX under the alleged shareholders agreement as a result of the Company's acquisition of INEX on October 14, 1999. The plaintiff seeks damages against the Company and the former INEX shareholders named in the suit for the difference between the issue or sale price of INEX shares issued or transferred after February 1997 and before the acquisition, and the highest trading value of the shares of the Company's Common Stock received or receivable in the exchange prior to the date of trial. In the alternative, the plaintiff seeks special damages of $50 million Canadian. The plaintiff also seeks $500,000 Canadian in punitive damages and other remedies with regard to the disputed shares of stock. The Company has filed a response with the court, and discovery has yet to take place. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to such claims but litigation is uncertain and the Company may not prevail in this suit. 84 INFOSPACE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 On March 19, 2001, one of the Company's stockholders filed a derivative lawsuit in King County Superior Court, Seattle, Washington. The complaint names current and former executive officers and directors of the Company, their marital communities and related entities as defendants. As a shareholder derivative suit, the complaint also names InfoSpace, Inc. as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff alleges insider trading on the part of certain defendants, breach of fiduciary duties by InfoSpace directors in connection with the acquisition of Go2Net and other breaches of contractual obligations and fiduciary duties in connection with the Prio and Go2Net acquisitions. The plaintiffs are seeking various equitable remedies, including disgorgement of profits from insider trading, restitution, accounting and imposition of a constructive trust, unspecified monetary damages, and attorney's fees. The Company is currently investigating and assessing the claims at issue and preparing a response. As noted above, the complaint is derivative in nature and does not seek monetary damages from, or the imposition of equitable remedies on, the Company. However, under some circumstances, the Company may have certain obligations to indemnify its directors and officers. Two of nine founding shareholders of Authorize.Net Corporation, a subsidiary recently acquired through our merger with Go2Net, filed a lawsuit on May 2, 2000 in Provo Utah. This action was brought to reallocate amongst the founding shareholders the consideration received in the acquisition of Authorize.Net by Go2Net. The plaintiffs allege that the corporate officers of Authorize.Net fraudulently obtained a percentage of Authorize.Net shares greater than what was anticipated by the founding shareholders, and are making claims under the Utah Uniform Securities Act as well as claims of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, conflict of interest, breach of contract and related claims. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages in the amount of $200 million, rescission of certain transactions in Authorize.Net securities, and declaratory and injunctive relief. The plaintiffs subsequently amended the claim to name Authorize.Net as a defendant with regard to the claims under the Utah Uniform Securities Act. The case is currently in the discovery phase, which is to end on April 20, 2001. The Company has filed a motion for summary judgment on behalf of Authorize.Net and the Company's management believes the Company has meritorious defenses to such claims. Nevertheless, litigation is uncertain and the Company may not prevail in this suit. In addition, from time to time the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although the Company cannot predict the outcomes of these proceedings with certainty, the Company's management does not believe that the disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Settlement of litigation: In January 2001, the Company reached a settlement with an alleged former employee from a complaint that was originally filed on December 15, 1999. Under the terms of the settlement, the alleged former employee received a cash payment of $1.375 million. As this subsequent event relates to alleged services provided in prior periods, the expense has been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000 in Impairment and other charges expense. Authorize.Net Corporation, a subsidiary recently acquired through the Company's merger with Go2Net, was named as a defendant in a suit filed in June 2000 which purports to be a class action brought on behalf of persons who leased "virtual terminals" to Authorize.Net among a myriad of other non- Authorize.Net products in connection with actual or proposed internet businesses. The leases were allegedly financed by a third-party unaffiliated leasing company in connection with sales efforts by a third-party unaffiliated reseller. The suit, insofar as it relates to Authorize.Net, alleges that the leases of the products at issue were actually sales and that they were financed by the leasing company at usurious rates. The suit further alleges that the reseller was acting as an agent of Authorize.Net in these activities. Authorize.Net was dismissed without prejudice as a defendant from this suit in December 2000, and no additional claims were made against Authorize.Net prior to the deadline to amend the complaint on in February 2001. 85 INFOSPACE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 In February 2000, the Company reached a settlement with an alleged former employee. Under the terms of the settlement, the alleged former employee received a cash payment of $10.5 million. As this subsequent event relates to alleged services provided in prior periods, the expense has been recorded in the fourth quarter of 1999 in Impairment and other charges expense. In February 1999, the Company reached a settlement with a former employee. Under the terms of the settlement the former employee received a cash payment of $4.5 million. As this subsequent event related to services provided in prior periods, the expense was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1998 in Impairment and other charges expense. Contingencies: The Company was audited by the Department of Labor in February 2001. The audit identified numerous employees, primarily former employees of Go2Net, that were improperly classified as exempt that should have been classified as non-exempt. As a result of this audit, the Company estimates this liability to be in the range of $3 million to $5 million and has recorded an accrual for $3.0 million for the past wages that are due for overtime worked. This expense is classified in Impairment and other charges on the Statement of Operations. The Company anticipates that this matter will be resolved in 2001.

The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a full valuation allowance is required. The net change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, was $325.1 million, $48.2 million, and $10.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2000, the Company's U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward for income tax purposes was approximately $1.07 billion. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire between 2011 and 2020. Changes in ownership, as defined by Section 382 of the Code, may limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards used in any one year. The Company's federal research tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes are approximately $8.6 million. If not utilized, the federal tax credit carryforwards will expire between 2011 and 2020. Federal net operating losses of approximately $1.02 billion as of December 31, 2000 are the result of the exercise of certain employee stock options and warrants. When recognized, the tax benefit of these loss carryforwards are accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital rather than a reduction of the income tax provision. 87 INFOSPACE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 Note 11: Restructuring Charges The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2000 for the closures of its Dallas, Texas and Ottawa, Canada facilities. The restructuring charges are broken down as follows: Restructuring Charge for the Reserve Balance Year Ended as of Type of Charge Cash / Non-Cash December 31, 2000 December 31, 2000 - -------------- --------------- ----------------- ----------------- Severance and related costs....................

Non-cash 957,686 253,883 ---------- -------- $2,322,334 $551,016 ========== ======== Note 12: Net Loss Per Share The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. The Company had a net loss for all periods presented herein; therefore, none of the options and warrants outstanding during each of the periods presented, as discussed in Note 7, were included in the computation of diluted loss per share as they were antidilutive. Options and warrants to purchase a total of 86,288,915, 71,497,417 and 69,054,998 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Note 13: Information on Products and Services SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The adoption of SFAS 131 did not have a material effect on the Company's primary consolidated financial statements but did affect the Company's disclosures. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues through integrated technology and services delivered through a common physical infrastructure, and therefore the Company has only one reportable segment. Substantially all of the Company's long-lived assets are physically located within the United States. Total operating expenses are controlled centrally based on established budgets by operating department. Operating departments include product development, sales and marketing, project management and customer service, and finance and administration. Assets, technology, and personnel resources of the Company are shared and utilized for all of the Company's service offerings. These resources are allocated based on contractual requirements, the identification of enhancements to the current service offerings, and other non- financial criteria. The Company does not prepare operating statements by revenue source. The Company does not account for, and does not report to management, its assets or capital expenditures by revenue source. 88 INFOSPACE, INC.
