     On June 26, 2001, Rare Medium Group, Inc. announced that it would
restate its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000
and for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2001 and September 30, 2000 to
reflect the recognition of approximately $3.7 million of revenue in the
first quarter of 2001 which was originally recognized in 2000.

     Rare Medium performed services for a client in the year ended December
31, 2000, during which time a definitive professional services agreement
was being negotiated. The definitive professional services agreement, which
was signed during the first week of January 2001, established fees for past
and future services, including fees of $3.7 million which were recognized
as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2000. The professional
services agreement also provided that the fees would be contingent upon the
closing of a financing by the client, which would include an investment by
Rare Medium. A stock purchase agreement, dated as of December 29, 2000, to
make the investment was entered into by several investors, including Rare
Medium, but the investment transaction did not close until the first week
of January 2001, following which time Rare Medium was paid for
substantially all of the services relating to the $3.7 million in fees.
After re-examining this transaction, Rare Medium has concluded that the
revenue in question should have been recognized in the first quarter of
2001.

     This amended Form 10-Q/A includes the restated financial statements.

                          RARE MEDIUM GROUP, INC.
            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Description of the Business

     Rare Medium Group, Inc. (the "Company") conducts its operations
primarily through its subsidiaries, which are organized as two related
lines of business: the Internet services business of Rare Medium, Inc.
("Rare Medium") and the investment business. The Company is headquartered
in New York with offices throughout the United States.

     Rare Medium, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a provider
of Internet solutions, offering Fortune 1000 companies and others its
services to develop e-commerce Internet strategies, improve business
processes and develop marketing communications, branding strategies and
interactive content using Internet-based technologies and solutions.

     Through its investment business, the Company has historically made
selective venture investments by taking strategic equity positions in other
companies. Additionally, the Company has developed, managed and operated
companies in selected Internet-focused market segments ("Incubator
Companies"). During the first quarter of 2001, the Company has reduced its
focus on the investment business and has significantly reduced the amount
of funding to its Incubator Companies (see Note 10).

(2)  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring
nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the
periods indicated. While the Company believes that disclosures presented
are adequate to make the information not misleading, these unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December
31, 2000 which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The results
of the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior
year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

(3)  Restatement

     On June 26, 2001, the Company announced that it would restate its
financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and for the
fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2001 and September 30, 2000 to reflect the
recognition of approximately $3.7 million of revenue in the first quarter
of 2001 which was originally recognized in 2000.

     The Company performed services for a client in the year ended December
31, 2000, during which time a definitive professional services agreement
was being negotiated. The definitive professional services agreement, which
was signed during the first week of January 2001, established fees for past
and future services, including fees of $3.7 million which were recognized
as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2000. The professional
services agreement also provided that the fees would be contingent upon the
closing of a financing by the client, which would include an investment by
the Company. A stock purchase agreement, dated as of December 29, 2000, to
make the investment was entered into by several investors, including the
Company, but the investment transaction did not close until the first week
of January 2001, following which time the Company was paid for
substantially all of the services relating to the $3.7 million in fees.
After re-examining this transaction, the Company has concluded that the
revenue in question should have been recognized in the first quarter of
2001.

     As a result of the  restatement,  net accounts  receivable and work in
process as of December 31, 2000  decreased  approximately  $1.7 million and
$2.0  million,   respectively.   The  restatement  had  no  impact  on  the
condolidated  balance sheet as of March 31, 2001. The effect on the results
of operations is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

(6)  Restructuring Charges


     During the first quarter of 2001, the Company recognized restructuring
charges of approximately $15.8 million primarily related to its Internet
services business, consisting of $10.8 million for the consolidation of
facilities and the disposition of property and equipment, $2.0 million for
the impairment of unamortized goodwill, $1.8 million for severance and
benefits related to headcount reductions and $1.2 million for other office
shutdown costs. These restructuring charges were aimed at aligning the
Company's cost structure with changing market conditions and decreased
demand for the Company's services and were primarily related to office
closures in Canada, Australia, Singapore, England and Michigan and other
office consolidations.

     The total cash outlay and non-cash charges for the restructuring
activities will be approximately $7.3 million and $8.5 million,
respectively. As of March 31, 2001, approximately $1.6 million of cash was
used, $2.5 million is expected to be used in the second quarter of 2001,
and the remaining cash outlay of approximately $3.2 million, primarily
related to the present value of the net future minimum lease payments for
certain real estate lease obligations, is expected to be used over the next
seven years.

     Restructuring activities as of March 31, 2001 were as follows (in
thousands):

(7)  Employee Stock Options

     In the third quarter of 2000, employee holders of stock options with
exercise prices at or above $30.00 per share were allowed to exchange
either all or 50% of their existing stock options for an agreement by the
Company to issue new options at a date in excess of six months thereafter.
The Company's obligation to issue new stock options was contingent on each
participant's continued full-time employment with the Company through such
period. On March 12, 2001, the Company issued 1,426,313 stock options at an
exercise price of $1.66, the fair market value of the underlying common
stock on the date of issuance of the new options, to those employees who
had elected to participate under this agreement. These transactions did not
result in the recognition of compensation expense.

(8)  Strategic Alliance

     In 2000, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement, as
amended, with a software company (the "Partner") to assist in the
development, delivery and training of the Company's LiveMarket e-commerce
solutions built utilizing the Partner's technology. Rare CSP, Inc., d/b/a
LiveMarket, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, develops and
deploys solutions that facilitate and manage electronic transactions
between businesses and enables businesses to establish their own trading
network with other businesses or consumers. Under the terms of the
alliance, the Partner will provide the Company with refundable advances of
approximately $17.1 million, on an interest free basis, to be paid to the
Company over the term of the two-year agreement, subject to the Company's
compliance with certain requirements set forth in the agreement. The amount
and timing of the repayment of the advances may be adjusted based on
LiveMarket's achievement of certain milestones in accordance with the terms
of the agreement. The Partner has expressed an interest in renegotiating a
revised payment schedule and revised milestones with the Company with
respect to the Company's obligations. Absent a successful renegotiation,
the Partner may seek accelerated repayment of all outstanding amounts.
Therefore, the Company has reclassified approximately $8.6 million,
representing the total amount advanced by the Partner, from other
non-current liabilities to other current liabilities on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2001. Under the current agreement,
subject to certain conditions including the Company's compliance with
certain requirements, such amounts are presently not required to be paid
until June 30, 2002. However, if the agreement were to be terminated, the
Company would be required to currently repay the advanced amounts to the
Partner. While the Company does not believe that the agreement is presently
terminable in accordance with its terms, there can be no assurance that the
Company and the Partner will agree on renegotiated terms or that
accelerated repayment will not be required.

(9)  Contingency

     The Company has been in settlement discussions with its former
financial public relations firm with respect to the Company's failure to
deliver options covering approximately 124,000 shares of the Company's
stock that are allegedly owed relating to past services allegedly rendered.
The Company has not accepted the most recent settlement offer and has
recently been notified that the claimant intends to file a claim asserting
its entitlement to damages of approximately $12.8 million. As a claim has
not yet been filed, the ultimate outcome with respect to this unasserted
claim cannot be reasonably determined at this time.

     Additionally, from time to time, the Company is subject to litigation
in the normal course of business. The Company is of the opinion that, based
on information presently available, the resolution of any such legal
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position
or results of operations of the Company.


(10) Subsequent Events

     On April 2, 2001, the Company agreed to purchase from Motient
Corporation ("Motient") 12.5% secured promissory notes (the "Notes"),
issuable in two tranches, in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million. The
Notes are collateralized by up to 5,000,000 shares of XM Satellite Radio,
Inc. ("XM Radio") common stock owned by Motient. The first tranche in the
amount of $25.0 million was purchased on April 4, 2001. The amount of the
second tranche is dependent on the trading price of XM Radio shares on the
date of issuance but is not to exceed $25.0 million. The principal and
accrued interest of the Notes are payable October 1, 2001 in either cash,
shares of XM Radio, or any combination thereof at Motient's option, as
defined by the agreement. At the option of the Company, the Notes can be
exchanged for a number of XM Radio shares equivalent to the principal of
the Notes and any accrued interest thereon, as defined by the agreement.

     On May 14, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to merge with a
subsidiary of Motient. Under the terms of the agreement, which is subject
to customary conditions including the approval of both companies'
shareholders, each share of the Company's outstanding common stock will be
exchanged for one-tenth of a share of a new class of Motient preferred
stock. Each share of the newly issued preferred stock will have a
liquidation preference of $20.00 and be convertible into 6.4 shares of
Motient common stock at the shareholder's option, subject to certain
mandatory conversion provisions. A portion of Motient's XM Radio shares and
other consideration will be issued in exchanged for the Company's Series A
convertible preferred stock. The Notes will be cancelled upon the closing
of the merger, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2001.

et al., Del. Ch., C.A. No. 18945-NC; and Dartmouth Advisors, Inc. and C.S.
McKee & Company v. Meyers, et al., Del. Ch., C.A. No. 18951-NC. All of the
complaints name the Company and members of the Company's board of directors
as defendants. Most of the complaints name the holders of the Company's
preferred stock, and certain of their affiliates, as defendants, and some
of the complaints name Motient as a defendant.

     On June 22, 2001, the Delaware court entered an order to consolidate
the sixteen Delaware lawsuits for all purposes into a single purported
class action, In re Rare Medium Group, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, C.A.
No. 18897-NC. Under the terms of the order, Ram Yariv was added as an
additional party plaintiff. The law firms of Abraham and Paskowitz; Bull &
Lifshitz, LLP; Bernstein Liebhard & Lifshitz LLP; Kirby McInerney & Squire
LLP; Stull, Stull & Brody; Weiss & Yourman; Wolf Popper LLP; Milberg Weiss
Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP; Law Offices of Peter Fischbein; Law Offices of
Bernard M. Gross, P.C.; Berger & Montague, P.C.; Barrack, Rodos & Bacine;
Scchiffrin & Barroway LLP; Law Offices of Curtis V. Trinko LLP; Shapiro
Haber & Urmy LLP; Law Offices of Alfred G. Yates, Jr.; and Rabin & Peckel
LLP were designated as plaintiffs' Committee of the Whole, the law firm of
Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP was designated as plaintiffs' Lead
Counsel, and the law firm of Rosenthal Monhait Gross & Goddess, P.A. was
designated as plaintiffs' Delaware Liaison Counsel. The complaint in
Loeffelbein, et al. v. Stasior, et al., C.A. No 18939-NC was designated as
the complaint in the consolidated action.

     The complaints allege that the defendants purportedly breached duties
allegedly owed to the holders of the Company's common stock in connection
with the merger agreement. Specifically, the complaints allege, among other
things, that (1) the holders of the Company's preferred stock engaged in
self-dealing in the proposed merger, and (2) the Company's board of
directors allegedly breached its fiduciary duties by agreeing to distribute
merger consideration differently among its common and preferred shares.
Some complaints allege that Motient aided and abetted the supposed breach
of fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, (1) a
declaration that the complaints are properly maintainable as a class
action; (2) injunctive relief; (3) monetary damages; (4) attorney's fees,
costs, and expenses; and (5) other and further relief as a court may deem
just and proper.

     The Company and Motient plan to vigorously contest these lawsuits, as
well as any other similar lawsuits that may be filed.

     On April 12, 2001, the Company agreed to sell a portion of its
majority stake in ChangeMusic Network, Inc. ("CMJ"), which provides music
consumers and music business professionals with information on emerging
artists via its consumer and industry print properties, business data
products, music festival and web sites. At the date of the sale, the
Company received a promissory note for approximately $509,000 and retained
a 15% equity interest in CMJ. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss
of approximately $2.5 million during the first quarter of 2001 relating to
the impairment of goodwill arising from the acquisition of CMJ by the
Company in November 1999.

     On April 30, 2001, the Company agreed to sell a portion of its
majority stake in ePrize, Inc., an online sweepstakes, direct marketing and
promotions company that offers end-to-end solutions for customer
acquisition and retention. At the date of the sale, the Company received a
cash payment of $850,000 and retained a 5% equity interest in ePrize.
Additionally, the Company will recognize a gain of approximately $1.3
million in the second quarter of 2001 relating to this transaction.




                          RARE MEDIUM GROUP, INC.
     NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

(10) Subsequent Events - (Continued)

     On May 16, 2001, plaintiffs Jay M. Wolff, David Bliss, Tim Barber and
Steve O'Brien filed suit against Rare Medium, Inc., ICC Technologies, Inc.,
and Rare Medium Texas I, Inc. in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, Wolff, et al. v. Rare Medium, Inc., et al.,
CV No 01-4279. The plaintiffs asserted claims for breach of contract,
tortuous interference with contractual relations, tortuous interference
with prospective advantage, and breach of implied obligation of good faith,
arising out of the plaintiff's alleged attempt to engage in transactions
involving some or all of the approximately 1.2 million shares of the
Company's common stock that the plaintiffs obtained in the Company's
acquisition of Big Hand, Inc. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory
and punitive damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs. The Company
expects to defend the matter vigorously.

     The following discussion has been amended to reflect the impact of the
restatement of our financial statements for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2001 as discussed in Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere herein.


Overview

     We are an Internet-focused company that:

     o   provides Internet professional services to companies;

     o   has developed, managed and operated companies in selected
         Internet-focused market segments; and

     o   selectively invests in companies in which we have previously taken
         strategic equity positions or that we believe possess superior
         business models and are strategic to our business.

     Our end-to-end Internet professional services offering encompasses a
wide range of the Internet services spectrum, ranging from strategic and
creative consulting to applications development, implementation and
hosting. We assist in shaping our clients' strategies and adapt Internet
technologies to deliver the best possible solutions for our clients. Our
customers include companies in the retail/manufacturing, finance/banking,
hospitality/travel, media/entertainment and communications/utilities
industries. Our customers include Corporate Express, Cablevision, Furniture
Brands, West Publishing Group, Wyndham International, General Mills, Fox,
Paramount, Microsoft, Epson, Interstate Batteries and Ritz Carlton.

     In the past, we have internally developed, managed and operated
companies in selected Internet-focused market segments. During that time,
we have provided our incubator companies with a comprehensive suite of
strategic and infrastructure services as well as financial support. These
services included Internet services and financial, legal and accounting
advisory services. We believe that by providing these services we have
enabled our incubator companies to focus on their core competencies and
accelerate the time-to-market of their products and services.

     In addition, we have made minority investments in independently
managed companies that we believe possess superior business models. We have
co-invested in these companies with well-known financial and industry
partners such as Brentwood Associates, Compaq Computer Corp., Constellation
Ventures, GE Capital Corp., Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst, Mayfield Partners
and Omnicom. In certain instances, we have selectively continued to invest
in these companies and seek to invest limited amounts of capital in other
companies that we believe possess sound business models and are strategic
to our business.

     During the first quarter of 2001, we have reduced our focus on the
investment business and have significantly reduced the amount of funding to
our incubator companies. In addition, we sold a majority of our stake in
two of our incubator companies, ChangeMusic Networks ("CMJ") and ePrize, in
April. The carrying value of our portfolio companies at March 31, 2001
amounted to $53.1 million of which $45.4 million is reflected in our
balance sheet as "investments in affiliates" and $7.7 million is included
in "goodwill and intangibles, net" for our incubators that are accounted
for as consolidated subsidiaries.

     Our operating results are primarily driven by the Internet services
business. We evaluate the performance of this business as a separate
segment. Revenue and loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization are used to measure and evaluate our financial results and
make relative comparisons to other entities that operate within the
Internet services industry. Over the last few quarters, demand for Internet
services has decreased as the weakening of general economic conditions has
caused many companies to reduce spending on Internet-focused business
solutions. During the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001,
we took actions to adapt our business to the changing environment. Although
this restructuring led to a charge of $15.8 million in the first quarter of
2001, we were able to reduce our operating expenses at a higher rate in the
first quarter of 2001 than the decline in our revenue from the fourth
quarter of 2000. Our Internet service business revenue, including revenue
from services provided to our consolidated subsidiaries, decreased to $13.8
million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 from $30.6 million
in the three-month period ended December 31, 2000. Although our revenue
decreased $16.8 million from the fourth quarter of 2000 to the first
quarter of 2001, our loss before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and restructuring charges decreased only $10.9 million from
$2.3 million in the fourth quarter to $13.2 million in the first quarter.
We will continue to evaluate the market for Internet professional services
and will take other steps, if necessary, aimed at ensuring that our cost
structure remains aligned with changes in market conditions and demand for
our services.

     Many of our Internet service contracts are currently on a fixed price
basis, rather than a time and materials basis. We recognize revenues from
fixed price contracts based on our estimate of the percentage of each
project completed in a reporting period. To the extent our estimates are
inaccurate, the revenues and operating profits, if any, we report for
periods during which we are working on a project may not accurately reflect
the final results of the project, and we would be required to make
adjustments to such estimates in a subsequent period.

     Our Internet services clients generally retain us on a
project-by-project basis, rather than under long-term contracts. As a
result, a client may or may not engage us for further services once a
project is completed. Establishment and development of relationships with
additional companies and other corporate users of information technology
and securing repeat engagements with existing clients are important
components of our success.

     Cost of revenues includes salaries, payroll taxes and related benefits
and other direct costs associated with the generation of revenues. Sales
and marketing expense represent the actual costs associated with our
marketing and advertising. General and administrative expenses include
facilities costs, recruiting, training, finance, legal, and other corporate
costs as well as salaries and related employee benefits for those employees
that support such functions.

Revenues

     Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 decreased to
$12.3 million from $23.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
2000, a decrease of $11.5 million. This decrease reflects the weakening of
general economic conditions in which many companies have reduced their
spending on Internet-focused business solutions. Our incubator companies
generated revenues totaling $1.9 million in the three-month period ended
March 31, 2001, compared to $1.5 million in the three-month period ended
March 31, 2000. After disposing of our majority interest in two incubator
companies in April, revenues from these companies will not continue to be
recognized by us in future periods.

Cost of Revenues

     Cost of revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001
increased to $15.2 million from $13.1 million for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $2.1 million. This increase is due
primarily to the increase in the number of personnel in our Internet
services business during 2000. After the restructuring activities in the
first quarter of 2001, we expect our cost of revenues to decline in future
periods as we have reduced the number of billable professionals. The
increase in cost of revenues for the three-month period ended March 31,
2001 also reflects $1.6 million of costs related to our incubator
companies. After disposing of our majority interest in two incubator
companies in April, our cost of revenues from these companies will not
continue to be recognized by us in future periods.

Sales and Marketing Expense

     Sales and marketing expense for the three-month period ended March 31,
2001 decreased to $3.3 million from $3.4 million for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease is primarily
the result of decreased marketing activities by the Internet services
business offset by a marketing campaign by CMJ to increase subscriptions
for its monthly publication. After disposing of our majority interest in
two incubator companies in April, including CMJ, we do not expect our sales
and marketing expense to remain at this same level in future periods.

General and Administrative Expense

     General and administrative expense for the three-month period ending
March 31, 2001 decreased to $17.8 million from $18.0 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.2 million. This
decrease was primarily due to the restructuring efforts aimed at aligning
our cost structure with changing market conditions and decreased demand for
our services, including the office closures in Canada, Australia,
Singapore, England and Michigan. These cost savings were partially offset
in the first quarter of 2001 because we experienced an increased risk of
collection of accounts receivable from our Internet professional services
clients that caused us to take a charge for bad debt of $3.6 million. After
disposing of our majority interest in two incubator companies in April and
our restructuring efforts primarily related to our Internet services
business, we expect general and administrative expense to decrease in
future periods.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

     Depreciation and amortization expense substantially consists of the
amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization expense
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 increased to $12.9 million
from $10.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, an
increase of $2.5 million. This increase resulted primarily from increased
computer and equipment purchases to support the increase in headcount
during 2000. As we have decreased our capital expenditures, we expect
depreciation and amortization expense to decrease in future periods.

Restructuring Charges

     During the first quarter of 2001, we recorded restructuring charges of
approximately $15.8 million primarily related to our Internet services
business, consisting of $10.8 million for the consolidation of facilities
and the disposition of property and equipment, $2.0 million for the
impairment of unamortized goodwill, $1.8 million for severance and benefits
related to headcount reductions and $1.2 million for other office shutdown
costs. These restructuring charges were aimed at aligning our cost
structure with changing market conditions and decreased demand for our
services and were primarily related to office closures in Canada,
Australia, Singapore, England and Michigan and other office consolidations.
The plan resulted in head count reductions of approximately 250 employees,
most of which occurred in March.

     The total cash outlay and non-cash charges for the restructuring
activities will be approximately $7.3 million and $8.5 million,
respectively. As of March 31, 2001, approximately $1.6 million of cash was
used, $2.5 million is expected to be used in the second quarter of 2001,
and the remaining cash outlay of approximately $3.2 million, primarily
related to the present value of the net future minimum lease payments for
certain real estate lease obligations, is expected to be used over the next
seven years.

Loss on Investment in Affiliates

     Loss on investments in affiliates consists primarily of $7.4 million
for the impairment to the carrying value of certain affiliates accounted
for under the cost method, $1.1 million for our proportionate share of
affiliates' operating losses and amortization of our net excess investment
over its equity in each affiliate's net assets for those affiliates
accounted for under the equity method, and $2.5 million for the impairment
of goodwill related to CMJ. We will continue to monitor the carrying value
our investments in affiliates accounted for under the cost method for
further impairment.

Interest Expense, Net

     Interest expense, net for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001
is mainly compromised of the interest earned on the proceeds received from
the sale of our common stock during the first quarter of 2000.

Net Loss

     For the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, we recorded a net
loss of $61.9 million. Excluding $12.9 million in amortization and
depreciation, the net loss was $49.0 million. The loss was primarily due to
the factors described in "Cost of Revenues," "General and Administrative
Expense," "Sales and Marketing Expense," "Restructuring Charges" and "Loss
on Investments in Affiliates."

     Included in net loss attributable to common shareholders of $64.8
million was $2.9 million of non-cash deemed dividends and accretion related
to the issuance of our Series A convertible preferred stock. Dividends were
accrued related to the pay-in-kind dividends payable quarterly on Series A
convertible preferred stock and to the accretion of the carrying amount of
the Series A convertible preferred stock up to its $100 per share face
redemption amount over 13 years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     We had $133.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments at March 31, 2001. Cash used in operating activities was $14.1
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 and resulted
primarily from the net loss of $61.9 million, offset by non-cash charges of
$31.1 million (which consists of depreciation, amortization, loss on
investments in affiliates, investments in affiliates received for services
rendered, and non-cash restructuring charges) and changes in working capital.
We expect cash used in operations to decrease in future periods as we believe
our restructuring activities will more closely align our cost structure with
the changing market conditions and the decrease in the demand for our
services.

     Cash used in investing activities was $9.7 million, net of the $2.6
million invested in short-term investments, for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2001, which primarily consists of cash paid for venture
investments of $6.2 million and capital expenditures of $3.6 million.
Capital expenditures have generally been comprised of purchases of computer
hardware and software, as well as leasehold improvements related to leased
facilities, and are not expected to increase at the same level in future
periods.

     In April 2001, we agreed to purchase from Motient Corporation
("Motient") 12.5% secured promissory notes (the "Notes"), issuable in two
tranches, in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million. The Notes are
collateralized by up to 5,000,000 shares of XM Satellite Radio, Inc. ("XM
Radio") common stock owned by Motient. The first tranche in the amount of
$25.0 million was purchased on April 4, 2001. The amount of the second
tranche is dependent on the trading price of XM Radio shares on the date of
issuance but is not to exceed $25.0 million. The principal and accrued
interest of the Notes are payable October 1, 2001 in either cash, shares of
XM Radio, or any combination thereof at Motient's option, as defined by the
agreement. At our option, the Notes can be exchanged for a number of XM
Radio shares equivalent to the principal of the Notes and any accrued
interest thereon, as defined by the agreement. The Notes will be cancelled
upon the closing of our merger with Motient, which is expected to occur in
the third quarter of 2001.

     In 2000, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement, as amended,
with a software company (the "Partner") to assist in the development,
delivery and training of our LiveMarket e-commerce solutions built
utilizing the Partner's technology. Rare CSP, Inc., d/b/a LiveMarket, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, develops and deploys solutions that
facilitate and manage electronic transactions between businesses and
enables businesses to establish their own trading network with other
businesses or consumers. As of March 31, 2001, under the terms of the
alliance, the Partner has provided us with refundable advances of
approximately $8.6 million, on an interest free basis. The amount and
timing of the repayment of the advances may be adjusted based on
LiveMarket's achievement of certain milestones in accordance with the terms
of the agreement. The Partner has expressed an interest in renegotiating a
revised payment schedule and revised milestones with us with respect to our
obligations. Absent a successful renegotiation, the Partner may seek
accelerated repayment of all outstanding amounts. Under the current
agreement, subject to certain conditions including our compliance with
certain requirements, such amounts are presently not required to be paid
until June 30, 2002. However, if the agreement were to be terminated, we
would be required to currently repay the advanced amounts to the Partner.
While we do not believe that the agreement is presently terminable in
accordance with its terms, there can be no assurance that the Partner and
we will agree on renegotiated terms or that accelerated repayment will not
be required.

     We have been in settlement discussions with our former financial
public relations firm with respect to our failure to deliver options
covering approximately 124,000 shares of our stock that are allegedly owed
relating to past services allegedly rendered. We have not accepted the most
recent settlement offer and have recently been notified that the claimant
intends to file a claim asserting its entitlement to damages of
approximately $12.8 million. As a claim has not yet been filed, the
ultimate outcome with respect to this unasserted claim cannot be reasonably
determined at this time.




Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. During
June 1999, SFAS No. 137 was issued which delayed the effective date of SFAS
No. 133 to January 1, 2001. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138,
"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," which intended to
simplify the accounting for derivative under SFAS No. 133 and is effective
upon the adoption of SFAS No. 133. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not
have a material effect on our results of operations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     We believe that our market risk exposure associated with our
outstanding debt is immaterial as our fixed rate and variable rate debt
obligations are not material.




                                  PART II
                             OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings


     The Company is aware of a number of purported class action lawsuits
that have been filed by the holders of the Company's common stock in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the New York State Supreme
Court challenging the proposed merger with Motient Corporation ("Motient").
Thus far, the Company is aware of seventeen complaints that have been filed,
including: Augenbaum v. Meyers, et al., Del. Ch., C.A. No. 18879-NC; Kohn
v. Meyers, et al., Del. Ch., C.A. No. 18880-NC; Friedman v. Meyers, et al.,

Meyers, et al., Del. Ch., C.A. No. 18906-NC; Gordon v. Meyers, et al., Del.
Ch., C.A. No. 18911-NC; Brickell Partners v. Rare Medium Group, Inc., et
al., N.Y.S. Index No. 01602694; Loeffelbein, et al., v. Stasior, et al.,
Del. Ch., C.A. No. 18939-NC; Laderer v. Meyers, et al., Del. Ch., C.A. No.
18940-NC; Farber v. Meyers, et al., Del. Ch., C.A. No. 18945-NC; and
Dartmouth Advisors, Inc. and C.S. McKee & Company v. Meyers, et al., Del.
Ch., C.A. No. 18951-NC. All of the complaints name the Company and members
of the Company's board of directors as defendants. Most of the complaints
name the holders of the Company's preferred stock, and certain of their
affiliates, as defendants, and some of the complaints name Motient as a
defendant.

     On June 22, 2001, the Delaware court entered an order to consolidate
the sixteen Delaware lawsuits for all purposes into a single purported
class action, In re Rare Medium Group, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, C.A.
No. 18897-NC. Under the terms of the order, Ram Yariv was added as an
additional party plaintiff. The law firms of Abraham and Paskowitz; Bull &
Lifshitz, LLP; Bernstein Liebhard & Lifshitz LLP; Kirby McInerney & Squire
LLP; Stull, Stull & Brody; Weiss & Yourman; Wolf Popper LLP; Milberg Weiss
Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP; Law Offices of Peter Fischbein; Law Offices of
Bernard M. Gross, P.C.; Berger & Montague, P.C.; Barrack, Rodos & Bacine;
Scchiffrin & Barroway LLP; Law Offices of Curtis V. Trinko LLP; Shapiro
Haber & Urmy LLP; Law Offices of Alfred G. Yates, Jr.; and Rabin & Peckel
LLP were designated as plaintiffs' Committee of the Whole, the law firm of
Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP was designated as plaintiffs' Lead
Counsel, and the law firm of Rosenthal Monhait Gross & Goddess, P.A. was
designated as plaintiffs' Delaware Liaison Counsel. The complaint in
Loeffelbein, et al. v. Stasior, et al., C.A. No 18939-NC was designated as
the complaint in the consolidated action.

     The complaints allege that the defendants purportedly breached duties
allegedly owed to the holders of the Company's common stock in connection
with the merger agreement. Specifically, the complaints allege, among other
things, that (1) the holders of the Company's preferred stock engaged in
self-dealing in the proposed merger, and (2) the Company's board of
directors allegedly breached its fiduciary duties by agreeing to distribute
merger consideration differently among its common and preferred shares.
Some complaints allege that Motient aided and abetted the supposed breach
of fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, (1) a
declaration that the complaints are properly maintainable as a class
action; (2) injunctive relief; (3) monetary damages; (4) attorney's fees,
costs, and expenses; and (5) other and further relief as a court may deem
just and proper.

     The Company and Motient plan to vigorously contest these lawsuits, as
well as any other similar lawsuits that may be filed.

     On May 16, 2001, plaintiffs Jay M. Wolff, David Bliss, Tim Barber and
Steve O'Brien filed suit against Rare Medium, Inc., ICC Technologies, Inc.,
and Rare Medium Texas I, Inc. in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, Wolff, et al. v. Rare Medium, Inc., et al.,
CV No 01-4279. The plaintiffs asserted claims for breach of contract,
tortuous interference with contractual relations, tortuous interference
with prospective advantage, and breach of implied obligation of good faith,
arising out of the plaintiff's alleged attempt to engage in transactions
involving some or all of the approximately 1.2 million shares of the
Company's common stock that the plaintiffs obtained in the Company's
acquisition of Big Hand, Inc. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory
and punitive damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs. The Company
expects to defend the matter vigorously.
