              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)



(1)      ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Organization
         ------------

               Worldport Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together
         with its subsidiaries, the "Company"), was originally organized as a
         Colorado corporation under the name Sage Resources, Inc. in January
         1989. Worldport remained inactive until 1996 when the Company's
         domicile was changed to Delaware and the name was changed to Worldport
         Communications, Inc.

               From 1997 to 1999, the Company was a facilities-based global
         telecommunications carrier offering voice, data and other
         telecommunications services to carriers, Internet service providers,
         medium and large corporations and distributors and resellers operating
         in Europe and the United States. In order to meet its obligations under
         its interim loan facility, the Company sold substantially all of its
         material assets during the first quarter of 2000.

               During 2000 and 2001, the Company pursued a new business
         strategy, focused on the delivery of Internet managed hosting services
         to global companies doing business in the European marketplace.
         However, the Company did not achieve the revenue growth it had
         anticipated, which, combined with the general economic downturn and the
         slowdown in technology spending, prompted the Company to review various
         alternatives to its existing business plan. The Company made the
         decision to take restructuring actions and to divest certain assets
         during the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, as
         described in Note 3. As a result, the Company no longer has active
         business operations. Accordingly, results of the exited operations have
         been classified as discontinued.

               Since ceasing its business operations in the first quarter of
         2002, the Company has been operating with a minimal headquarters staff
         while it completes the activities related to exiting its prior
         businesses and determines how to use its cash resources. During this
         period, the Company has actively worked to resolve and settle the
         Company's outstanding liabilities. Additionally, the Company has
         considered various alternatives in determining how and when to use its
         cash resources. The Company has sought and reviewed acquisition
         opportunities. However, the Company did not pursue any of these
         opportunities since it did not believe that any of them were in the
         best interests of its stockholders. The Company has also analyzed a
         potential liquidation of the Company and its effects on the Company's
         stockholders.

               As described in Note 6, the Company commenced a self-tender offer
         for the Company's common stock on March 7, 2003. The self-tender offer
         expired on April 11, 2003, and approximately 6.1 million shares were
         repurchased by the Company as a result of the self-tender offer, all of
         which have been retired. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had
         approximately 32.9 million shares of common stock outstanding. On April
         15, 2003, the Company's two largest shareholders and a member of the
         Company's board of directors entered into a stockholders agreement.
         This agreement is described further in Note 6.

               On March 7, 2003, in a separate transaction, the Company
         repurchased approximately 99% of its outstanding preferred stock from
         The Heico Companies, L.L.C. ("Heico"). The shares were repurchased for
         $67.4 million, which represented the aggregate liquidation preference
         of the purchased shares, including a 7% dividend that was required
         under the terms of the preferred stock before any distributions or
         purchases of the Company's common stock. During April 2003, the Company
         repurchased the remaining preferred stock from the three remaining

                                       6

<PAGE>

         preferred stockholders for an aggregate purchase price of $0.2 million.
         Worldport has retired the preferred stock it has repurchased and as of
         June 30, 2003, the Company had no preferred stock outstanding.

               As of August 13, 2003, the Company had approximately $39.6
         million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The
         Company intends to explore the possible benefits to its stockholders of
         changing its domicile to outside the United States of America or
         terminating the registration of its securities under the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934. The Company intends to continue to consider
         potential acquisition opportunities, although the Company has not
         identified a specific industry on which it intends to focus and has no
         present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect
         to the acquisition of any specific business.

         Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

               The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have
         been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and
         regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
         information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
         statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
         accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed
         or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to such rules and regulations;
         however, management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate
         to make the information presented not misleading. The financial
         statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q should be read
         in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
         in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
         31, 2002.

               In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying
         condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
         necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June
         30, 2003, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
         respective periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The results of
         operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003, are
         not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

         Consolidation
         -------------

               The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
         accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
         significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
         eliminated.

               Under GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments
         of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of any investee,
         except when control is not held by the majority owner. Under these
         principles, legal reorganization or other proceedings (including
         administration, receivership, or liquidation) represent conditions
         which can preclude consolidation in instances where control rests with
         an administrator, receiver or liquidator rather than the majority
         owner. As discussed in Note 3, the Company's U.K., Irish, German and
         Swedish subsidiaries filed or were placed into the local jurisdiction's
         applicable proceedings. As a result, the Company deconsolidated these
         subsidiaries' financial results and began accounting for its investment
         in the subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting and began
         recording gains and losses upon settlement.

         Use of Estimates
         ----------------

               The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance
         with GAAP. Financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP
         require the use of management estimates and assumptions that affect the
         reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
         contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
         statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
         the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Foreign Currency
         ----------------

               Prior to the transactions described in Note 3, substantially all
         of the Company's operations were in Europe. The assets and liabilities
         of non-U.S. subsidiaries were translated at the rates of exchange as of

                                       7

<PAGE>

         the balance sheet date, and income statement items were translated at
         the average rates prevailing during the period. The resulting
         translation adjustment was recorded as a component of stockholders'
         equity. Exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances of a
         long-term investment nature were also recorded as a component of
         stockholders' equity. Other foreign exchange gains and losses were
         recorded in income on a current basis and have been included in Loss
         from Discontinued Operations. These other foreign exchange gains and
         losses were minimal for the three months and six months ended June 30,
         2003 and 2002, respectively.

         Derivatives
         -----------

               The Company has used derivative instruments to hedge its foreign
         currency exposure only on a limited basis. Accordingly, the Company is
         not subject to any additional significant foreign currency market risk
         other than normal fluctuations in exchange rates. At June 30, 2003
         there were no foreign currency hedge contracts outstanding.

         Earnings (Loss) per Share
         -------------------------

               The Company has applied the provisions of Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
         establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share.
         Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to
         common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
         outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per
         share includes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents. In 2003
         and 2002, basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations
         is the same because all dilutive securities had an antidilutive effect
         on loss per share.

         New Accounting Pronouncements
         -----------------------------

               In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
         issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
         Disposal Activities." The statement requires that a liability for a
         cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when
         the liability is incurred as opposed to the date of an entity's
         commitment to an exit plan. The Company adopted SFAS No. 146 for any
         exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

               In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
         Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure--an amendment of
         FASB Statement No. 123." The statement amends FASB Statement No. 123,
         "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative
         methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
         method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
         addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of
         Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and
         interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
         stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on
         reported results. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements
         in this statement in 2002.

(3)      DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

               During 2001, the Company did not achieve its expected revenue
         growth in its managed hosting business. The general economic downturn,
         the slowdown in technology spending and the lengthening in the sales
         cycle for managed hosting services all contributed to these revenue
         shortfalls. Company management believed that these conditions, as well
         as the increasing level of competition and consolidation in the Web
         hosting and Internet infrastructure markets, would continue to have an
         adverse effect on the Company's ability to achieve near term revenue
         targets and, if they continued, could erode the financial resources of
         the Company more rapidly than planned.

               Following the exploration and review of strategic alternatives,
         the Company determined that it was necessary to take certain actions in
         the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002 to
         dramatically reduce the rate at which its operations were using cash
         and to minimize the Company's exposure in markets that were
         experiencing significantly slower than expected market growth.
         Following is a summary of these fourth quarter 2001 and first quarter
         2002 actions and the subsequent exit activities that have occurred
         related to these actions.

               |X|  In November 2001, the Company announced that its Irish
                    subsidiary was ceasing operations at its Dublin, Ireland
                    facility. An orderly shutdown of the Ireland operations was
                    commenced, and was substantially completed by December 31,
                    2001. In April 2002, Worldport Ireland Limited was given
                    notice that a petition for winding up was filed and would be
                    presented to the Irish High Court by Global Crossing Ireland
                    Limited. The petition was heard by the Irish High Court on
                    May 13, 2002 and a liquidator was appointed for this
                    subsidiary to act on behalf of the creditors. As a result of
                    this action, the liquidator gained control over this
                    subsidiary's assets. In September 2002, the liquidator
                    disclaimed the leases for the two facilities previously used
                    by the Irish subsidiary. The Company provided a guarantee
                    with respect to the lease of one of these facilities. (See
                    Note 8 for a discussion of the legal proceedings relating to
                    this guarantee.) The assets and liabilities of the Irish
                    subsidiary that were not guaranteed or incurred by the
                    parent company, Worldport Communications, Inc. ("Worldport
                    Inc."), were deconsolidated in the second quarter of 2002
                    and reflected in Net Liabilities of Non-controlled
                    Subsidiaries on the Company's balance sheets (see Note 5).
                    At June 30, 2003, the Net Liabilities of Non-controlled
                    Subsidiaries relating to Ireland equaled $4.4 million.
                    Approximately $18.6 million of liabilities that were
                    guaranteed or incurred by Worldport Inc. have not been
                    deconsolidated and are reflected as accounts payable and
                    accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance
                    sheets at June 30, 2003.

               |X|  In December 2001, the Company sold the assets and certain
                    liabilities of its Swedish subsidiary, Hostmark AB, to OM
                    Technology AB for a final sales price of 7.5 million Swedish
                    kronor (approximately $0.8 million), which was fully
                    collected by August 2002. OM also agreed to assume the
                    ownership of Hostmark AB's Stockholm Internet solutions
                    center and the operations at that center, and all customers'
                    contracts. In September 2002, Hostmark AB was put into
                    liquidation and a liquidator was appointed to control this
                    subsidiary. As a result of the asset sale to OM Technology
                    AB in December 2001, there were no assets and minimal
                    liabilities remaining in this Swedish subsidiary. Those
                    liabilities were deconsolidated in the third quarter of 2002
                    and reflected in Net Liabilities of Non-controlled
                    Subsidiaries on the Company's balance sheets (see Note 5).
                    At June 30, 2003, the Net Liabilities of Non-controlled
                    Subsidiaries relating to Hostmark AB equaled $0.1 million.

               |X|  In December 2001, the Company sold its Swedish professional
                    services business to its employees in a management buyout
                    for $0.9 million, the majority of which is in the form of a
                    note. Due to uncertainties related to the collectibility of
                    this note, it has been fully reserved.

               |X|  In December 2001, the Company placed its German subsidiary,
                    Hostmark GmbH, into receivership under German law. As a
                    result of this action, the receiver gained control over this
                    subsidiary's assets. The assets and liabilities of Hostmark
                    GmbH held in receivership were deconsolidated in the
                    Company's financial statements in the fourth quarter of 2001
                    and reflected in Net Liabilities of Non-controlled
                    Subsidiaries on the Company's balance sheet as a net
                    liability of approximately $1.4 million (see Note 5). As of
                    June 30, 2003, there were no Net Liabilities of
                    Non-controlled Subsidiaries relating to Hostmark GmbH.

               |X|  In March 2002, the Company made the decision to make no
                    further investment in its U.K. managed hosting operation. On
                    March 26, 2002, the Company's U.K. subsidiaries, Hostmark
                    World Limited and Hostmark U.K. Limited, filed a petition
                    for Administration under the United Kingdom Insolvency Act.
                    An administrator was appointed for these subsidiaries to
                    either reorganize, find new investors, sell or liquidate the
                    U.K. businesses for the benefit of their creditors. As a
                    result of this action, the administrator gained control over
                    these subsidiaries' assets. The assets and liabilities of
                    the U.K. subsidiaries were deconsolidated in the Company's
                    financial statements in the first quarter of 2002 and
                    reflected in Net Liabilities of Non-controlled Subsidiaries
                    on the Company's balance sheets (see Note 5). At June 30,
                    2003, the Net Liabilities of Non-controlled Subsidiaries
                    relating to the U.K. equaled $5.6 million. In August 2002,
                    the U.K. administrator identified a new third party tenant
                    for the Slough data center. The third party paid
                    approximately 5.7 million British pounds to the U.K.
                    administrator, in addition to the assumption of the lease
                    liability, for the Slough data center operation and related
                    assets. On August 8, 2003, a Company Voluntary Arrangement
                    was approved for the Company's UK subsidiaries. The
                    voluntary arrangements contemplate a first and final
                    dividend of approximately 18 pence in the pound in the case
                    of Hostmark World Limited and 60 pence in the pound in the
                    case of Hostmark UK Limited, both of which are anticipated
                    to be paid to unsecured creditors by March 2004. Based on
                    the amount of the Company's current claims in such
                    proceedings, the Company would receive aggregate dividends
                    of approximately $6 million if dividends were made in these
                    amounts. Additionally, the Company would reduce Liabilities
                    of Non-controlled Subsidiaries by up to $5.6 million. It is
                    still possible that creditors or other parties in interest
                    could challenge the Company's claim or could assert
                    additional claims. Therefore, there can be no assurance that
                    the Company will receive a distribution in these
                    proceedings, or if a distribution is received, there can be
                    no assurance that the Company will receive the amount
                    currently contemplated by the Company Voluntary
                    Arrangements. As a result of the uncertainty regarding
                    collectibility, the Company has not recorded a gain for any
                    potential dividends.

               In addition, the Company completed the sale of its remaining
         carrier business, Telenational Communications, Inc. ("TNC") in October
         2001 for $0.4 million. Due to uncertainties related to the
         collectibility of this note, the note was fully reserved for in 2001.
         However, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company reached an
         agreement with the purchaser to accept $0.3 million in full
         satisfaction of the note. This amount was received by the Company in
         the fourth quarter of 2002 and resulted in a gain of $0.3 million.

               As a result of these transactions, the Company had exited all
         three of its operating segments as of March 31, 2002 and has been
         operating since then with only a minimal headquarters staff.
         Accordingly, results of these exited operations have been classified as
         discontinued.

(4)      RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

               In the fourth quarter of 2001 and in the first quarter of 2002,
         the Company recorded restructuring charges of $101.5 million and $10.0
         million, respectively, relating to the actions described in Note 3.
         These restructuring charges primarily included severance, facility exit
         costs, bandwidth contract termination costs, and the write down of
         assets to their expected net realizable value. These charges have been
         primarily included in Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations.

               The Company compared the carrying value of the long-lived assets
         located primarily in Ireland, Germany and the U.K. to fair values
         determined substantially through independent appraisals and estimated
         future discounted cash flows. The excess carrying value of $84.8
         million was recorded as a non-cash asset impairment charge in the
         fourth quarter of 2001.

               Facility exit costs of $9.3 million and $7.9 million were
         recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002,
         respectively. These facility exit costs represented rent payments on
         the Company's U.K., Ireland and German facilities, net of certain
         estimated sublease recoveries. As discussed in Note 5, the obligations
         related to the Slough, U.K., and the Frankfurt, Germany, data center
         leases have been extinguished through the administration or
         receivership proceedings. Accordingly, the Company recognized a
         non-cash gain of $7.7 million and $1.6 million in the second and third
         quarters, respectively, of 2002 related to the Slough and Frankfurt
         lease obligations that were originally recorded as restructuring
         charges.

               Bandwidth contract termination costs of $4.7 million and $0.4
         million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first
         quarter of 2002, respectively. These costs represent early termination
         penalties accrued by the Company for the cancellation of certain
         bandwidth contracts related to its ceased managed hosting operations in
         Ireland and the U.K.

<PAGE>

               Severance of $1.3 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of
         2001 and all severance payments had been made by June 30, 2002. The
         headcount reduction affected approximately 100 employees, who were
         primarily located in Ireland. Substantially all employees terminated
         under this plan were released by December 31, 2001, with the few
         remaining employees terminated in the first quarter of 2002.
         Additionally, during the second quarter of 2003, the Company accepted
         the resignation of its existing Chief Executive Officer and terminated
         certain headquarters staff and recorded a charge of approximately $0.2
         million in selling, general and administrative expenses.

               Other costs of $1.4 million and $1.7 million were recorded in the
         fourth quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, respectively, and
         include estimated legal expenses, costs to settle outstanding purchase
         commitments, and other shutdown related expenses.





               The following table summarizes the significant components of the
         restructuring reserve included in Accrued Expenses at June 30, 2003 (in

               The non-cash adjustments of $1.0 million primarily represent the
         impact of foreign currency fluctuations on translated balances.

               The Company's management is continuing to seek opportunities to
         further reduce its liabilities related to the exited businesses and it
         is evaluating the possible sale or disposition of the remaining assets,
         including potentially subleasing the facilities remaining under
         operating lease agreements. All remaining restructuring costs are due
         to be paid by December 31, 2010, with $4.6 million due in 2003, $0.9
         million in 2004, $0.9 million in 2005, $1.0 million in 2006, $1.0
         million in 2007 and $2.6 million thereafter.

               The Company used estimates to calculate the restructuring
         charges, including the ability and timing of the Company to sublease
         space and the net realizable value of remaining assets. These estimates
         are subject to change based on the sale of the remaining assets along
         with the sublease or settlement of future rent obligations.


(5)      NET LIABILITIES OF NON-CONTROLLED SUBSIDIARIES

               As described in Note 3, the Company placed its German subsidiary,
         Hostmark GmbH, into receivership under German law in December 2001 and
         a receiver was appointed for this subsidiary. In March 2002, the
         Company's U.K. subsidiaries, Hostmark World Limited and Hostmark U.K.
         Limited, filed a petition for Administration under the United Kingdom
         Insolvency Act and an administrator was appointed for these
         subsidiaries. In April 2002, the Company's Irish subsidiary, Worldport
         Ireland Limited, was given notice that a petition for winding up was
         filed and would be presented to the Irish High Court on behalf of
         Global Crossing Ireland Limited. The petition was heard by the Irish
         High Court on May 13, 2002 and a liquidator was appointed for this
         subsidiary to act on behalf of the creditors. In September 2002, the
         Company's Swedish subsidiary, Hostmark AB was placed into liquidation


                                       12

<PAGE>

         and a liquidator was appointed for this subsidiary. As a result of
         these actions, the Company no longer has control over these
         subsidiaries' assets.

               Under GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments
         of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of any investee,
         except when control is not held by the majority owner. Under these
         principles, legal reorganization or other proceedings (including
         Administration, receivership, or liquidation) represent conditions
         which can preclude consolidation in instances where control rests with
         an administrator, receiver or liquidator rather than the majority
         owner. As discussed above, the U.K., Irish, German and Swedish
         subsidiaries filed or were placed into the local jurisdiction's
         applicable proceedings. As a result, the Company deconsolidated the
         subsidiaries' financial results and began accounting for its investment
         in the subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting and began
         recording gains and losses upon settlement.

               Prior to the filing or placement into the respective proceedings,
         under GAAP, the Company had recognized losses in excess of its
         investment in these subsidiaries of $10.8 million. Since these
         subsidiaries' results are no longer consolidated and the Company
         believes that it is not probable that it will be obligated to fund
         losses related to these investments, any adjustments reflected in the
         subsidiaries' financial statements subsequent to the effective dates of
         these proceedings are not expected to adversely affect the Company's
         consolidated results.

               However, as the liabilities of these subsidiaries exceed the
         recorded value of their assets, there can be no assurance that these
         creditors will not make claims against the parent company, Worldport
         Inc., for these obligations or that, through the proceedings, Worldport
         Inc. would not be required to satisfy any of these obligations. As a
         result, the Company has not reflected any adjustments relating to the
         deconsolidation of these subsidiaries other than by presenting the net
         liability for each of these subsidiaries as Net Liabilities of
         Non-controlled Subsidiaries and discontinuing the recording of earnings
         or losses from these subsidiaries after the effective dates of these
         proceedings. To the extent that any of these liabilities are
         extinguished through these proceedings without funding from the
         Company, the Company may recognize gains in future periods as a result
         of the forgiveness of such obligations. Conversely, when the
         proceedings are completed and liabilities are extinguished, the Company
         may recognize losses on the foreign currency translation losses
         currently included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

               In August 2002, the U.K. administrator identified a new third
         party tenant for the Slough data center. The third party paid
         approximately 5.7 million British pounds to the U.K. administrator, in
         addition to the assumption of the lease liability, for the Slough data
         center operation and related assets. The 5.7 million British pounds
         proceeds may be used to satisfy all or a portion of the Net Liabilities
         of Non-controlled Subsidiaries for the U.K. entities, and accordingly,
         the Company may recognize gains in future periods as a result of this
         transaction. The Company had previously agreed to guarantee, on behalf
         of its U.K. subsidiary, the Slough data center lease expiring in 2015.
         In connection with the August 2002 transaction, the landlord agreed to
         release the underlying lease guarantee and, therefore, relieve the
         Company from the $7.7 million lease liability upon the payment of 0.2
         million British pounds (approximately $0.3 million), which payment was
         funded by the Company. The $7.7 million lease liability had originally
         been recorded by the Company as part of the $10.0 million restructuring
         charge taken on the U.K. business in the first quarter of 2002.
         Accordingly, the Company reduced its liabilities by, and recorded a
         gain from discontinued operations of, $7.7 million in the second
         quarter of 2002.

               In the third quarter of 2002, the Company was informed by its
         German attorneys that the receiver terminated the Frankfurt lease
         effective December 31, 2002 under the provisions of German law. As a
         result, Hostmark GmbH was no longer obligated for lease payments due
         after the effective date (approximately $1.6 million). The lease
         liability had originally been recorded by the Company as part of the
         $101.5 million restructuring charge taken on the discontinued
         businesses in the fourth quarter of 2001. Additionally, the Company was
         informed that the receiver has declared insufficiency of the estate
         under the provisions of German law. This declaration was made because
         the receiver determined that the remaining net assets of the German
         company were not sufficient to cover the administrative costs of the

                                       13

<PAGE>

         proceedings, and consequently, no distributions could be made to the
         third party creditors (including the Frankfurt landlord for lease
         payments prior to the December 31, 2002 termination date). This
         declaration can be revoked in the future to the extent money is
         collected by the receiver on behalf of Hostmark GmbH in an amount
         sufficient to provide a distribution to the third party creditors.
         Based on its understanding of the German proceedings, the Company did
         not believe it was obligated to fund the Frankfurt lease obligation and
         other creditor liabilities of the German subsidiary. Therefore, in the
         third quarter of 2002, the Company reduced its Net Liabilities of
         Non-controlled Subsidiaries by, and recorded a gain from discontinued
         operations of, $1.4 million relating to the net liabilities of the
         German subsidiary.

               In addition to the third party creditors of the Company's
         subsidiaries, Worldport Inc. from time to time made advances to these
         subsidiaries prior to the Company's subsidiaries entering into the
         relevant proceedings. Therefore, Worldport Inc. is also a creditor of
         these subsidiaries in these proceedings. The Company is not able to
         determine at this time the priority of Worldport Inc.'s claim in such
         proceedings or whether or not Worldport Inc. will be able to recover
         any portion of these advances. The Company has been informed that it
         may receive a distribution as the result of the administration
         proceedings of its U.K. subsidiaries. If Worldport Inc. is successful
         in collecting any portion of the advances made to any of its
         subsidiaries, the Company would recognize a gain and an increase in
         cash at that time.

               The Company used estimates to calculate the Net Liabilities of
         Non-controlled Subsidiaries. These estimates are subject to change
         based on the ability of the administrator, receiver or liquidator, as
         applicable, to sell the remaining assets and negotiate the final
         liability amounts. Net Liabilities of Non-controlled Subsidiaries do
         not include obligations that the parent company, Worldport Inc., has
         guaranteed or incurred directly. Only those liabilities of these
         subsidiaries which Worldport Inc. believes it will not be required to
         pay have been included in Net Liabilities of Non-controlled
         Subsidiaries.

               Excluding the liabilities of the U.K., Irish and Swedish
         subsidiaries that are recorded in Net Liabilities of Non-controlled
         Subsidiaries as discussed above, there are approximately $21.3 million
         of liabilities reflected on the Company's June 30, 2003, balance sheet
         attributable to Worldport Inc. and the remaining subsidiaries not in
         Administration, receivership or liquidation. The Company has assumed,
         for purposes of calculating these liabilities, that it will not be able
         to mitigate them, however, Company management is currently seeking
         opportunities to further reduce these liabilities. There can be no
         assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to
         mitigate these liabilities or that additional claims will not be
         asserted against Worldport Inc.



(6)      EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

               On March 7, 2003, the Company repurchased approximately 99% of
         its outstanding preferred stock from a single owner, The Heico
         Companies L.L.C. The shares were repurchased for $67.4 million, which
         represents the aggregate liquidation preference of the purchased
         shares, including a 7% dividend that was required under the terms of
         the preferred stock before any distributions on or purchase of the
         Company's common stock. As a result of this repurchase, Additional
         Paid-in Capital was reduced by $63.0 million and Accumulated Deficit
         was increased by $4.4 million, reflecting the 7% dividend. In April
         2003, Worldport paid an aggregate purchase price of $0.2 million to
         complete similar purchase offers with the three remaining preferred
         stockholders, who owned, in aggregate, 34,056 shares of Series B
         preferred stock. Worldport has retired all of the preferred stock it
         has repurchased and as of June 30, 2003, the Company had no preferred
         stock outstanding.

               On December 23, 2002, W.C.I. Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
         corporation ("W.C.I."), commenced a tender offer for any and all of the
         Company's outstanding common stock at a price of $0.50 per share (the
         "W.C.I. Offer"). W.C.I. was formed by Heico, J O Hambro Capital
         Management Limited ("Hambro") and certain of their affiliates to
         complete the W.C.I. Offer. At the time of the W.C.I. Offer, these

                                       14

<PAGE>

         entities owned or had the right to acquire approximately 45% of the
         Company's outstanding common stock. The W.C.I. Offer was conditioned
         on, among other things, the valid tender of a majority of the
         outstanding shares, excluding the shares owned by W.C.I. or its
         stockholders. W.C.I.'s tender offer expired on February 14, 2003
         without purchase of any shares, as certain conditions were not
         satisfied. W.C.I. reported that approximately 6.8 million shares were
         tendered in response to the W.C.I. Offer.

               Recognizing that the tender of shares pursuant to the W.C.I.
         Offer demonstrated the apparent desire of certain stockholders for
         liquidity, the Company's Board of Directors considered and approved a
         self-tender offer. The Company commenced a self-tender offer on March
         7, 2003 for any and all of the Company's outstanding common stock at a
         price of $0.50 per share (the "Self-Tender Offer"). The Self-Tender
         Offer was not conditioned on any minimum number of shares being
         tendered, however it was subject to certain conditions described in the
         Company's Form TO-I filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
         on March 7, 2003. The Self-Tender Offer expired on April 11, 2003.
         Approximately 6.1 million shares were validly tendered and repurchased
         by the Company for a purchase price of approximately $3.1 million. The
         repurchased shares have been retired by the Company, and, as of June
         30, 2003, the Company had approximately 32.9 million shares of common
         stock outstanding.

               Heico and Hambro, neither of which tendered any shares in the
         offering, are the Company's two largest shareholders. Heico is
         controlled by Michael E. Heisley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
         of the Company, and his family. Heico, Hambro, and Stanley H. Meadows,
         a director of the Company, entered into a stockholders agreement as of
         April 15, 2003, in which they agreed, among other things, to vote all
         shares of the Company's common stock over which they have voting
         control in order to cause the Company's Board to consist of two
         representatives designated by Heico and two representatives designated
         by Hambro and to cause the Company not to take specified actions,
         including the issuance or repurchase of equity securities, a material
         change in the Company's business and certain acquisitions, investments
         and claim settlements, without the approval of a majority of the
         directors designated by Heico and of the majority of the directors
         designated by Hambro. According to the Schedule 13D, as amended, of
         Michael E. Heisley and Heico, Heico is the beneficial owner of
         6,077,707 shares of the Company's common stock (18.4% of the
         outstanding shares as of June 30, 2003) and holds warrants to purchase
         679,451 shares of common stock (2.1% of the outstanding shares as of
         June 30, 2003) and Mr. Heisley holds options to purchase 2,114,583
         shares of common stock (6.4% of the outstanding shares as of June 30,
         2003). According to the Schedule 13D, as amended, of Hambro, Hambro is
         the beneficial owner of 9,367,869 shares of the Company's common stock
         (28.4% of the outstanding shares as of June 30, 2003). Mr. Meadows is
         the beneficial owner of 1,764,129 shares of the Company's common stock
         (5.4% of the outstanding shares as of June 30, 2003). A copy of the
         stockholders' agreement is attached to the Amended Form 13-D filed by
         Heico on April 28, 2003.


(7)      SEGMENT REPORTING

               SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
         Related Information", requires the reporting of profit and loss,
         specific revenue and expense items and assets for reportable segments.
         It also requires the reconciliation of total segment revenues, total
         segment profit or loss, total segment assets, and other amounts
         disclosed for segments to the corresponding amounts in the general
         purpose financial statements.

               During 2001, the Company had three reportable segments: managed
         hosting, professional services and carrier operations. The managed
         hosting segment derived revenues primarily from the delivery of
         services including Internet networking, applications and value-added
         services, infrastructure, and systems support. The professional
         services segment derived revenues primarily from Internet-based
         applications, systems development, and content management support. The
         carrier operations segment derived revenues primarily from voice, data
         and other telecommunication services. Company management viewed the

                                       15

<PAGE>

         three distinct business strategies as different business segments when
         making operating and investment decisions and for assessing
         performance.

               As a result of the transactions discussed in Note 3, the Company
         exited all of its operating segments as of March 31, 2002.


(8)      CONTINGENCIES

               In March 2002, an Administrator was appointed for the U.K.
         subsidiaries, Hostmark World Limited and Hostmark U.K. Limited, by an
         order of the Companies Court, Chancery Division of High Court under the
         United Kingdom Insolvency Act. In April 2002, the Irish subsidiary,
         Worldport Ireland Limited, was given notice that a petition for winding
         up was filed and would be presented to the Irish High Court on behalf
         of Global Crossing Ireland Limited. The petition was heard by the Irish
         High Court on May 13, 2002 and a liquidator was appointed for this
         subsidiary to act on behalf of the creditors. As a result of these
         actions, the Administrator or liquidator has control over these
         subsidiaries' assets. However, the Company believes that each of these
         subsidiaries has liabilities, which exceed the recorded value of its
         assets. The Company has been informed that it may receive a
         distribution as the result of the administration proceedings of its
         U.K. subsidiaries. Certain creditors of the Company's subsidiaries have
         made claims directly against the parent company, Worldport Inc., for
         liabilities related to the operation of these subsidiaries and
         additional creditors could assert similar claims. There can be no
         assurance that Worldport Inc. will be successful in defending these
         claims and in limiting its liability for the obligations of its
         subsidiaries.

               In June 2002, the High Court of Ireland issued a Summary Summons
         to the parent company, Worldport Inc., on behalf of Cable & Wireless
         (Ireland) Limited, who is seeking payment of 1.0 million British pounds
         and 2.3 million Euros, together with applicable VAT. (Excluding VAT,
         this represents approximately $4.3 million.) These claims relate to
         unpaid invoices for Internet services provided by Cable & Wireless
         (Ireland) Limited to the Company's subsidiary in Ireland (now in
         liquidation) and termination of contract charges. The Company is
         contesting the validity of the claims and believes that the claims, to
         the extent valid, are obligations of the Company's Irish subsidiary and
         not of Worldport Inc., but is continuing to investigate the claims.
         There can be no assurance that such claims will not be successful
         against Worldport Inc. However, the outcome of the matter is not
         expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results
         of the Company in excess of amounts already recorded.

               In October 2002, the Company received a letter from legal counsel
         to Channor Limited, the landlord of the data center in Dublin, Ireland,
         with respect to the Company's guarantee on that facility. This letter
         demanded the payment within 14 days of approximately 0.9 million Euros
         in accrued rent and charges and the confirmation of the Company's
         liabilities as guarantor under the lease. In February 2003, Channor
         Limited filed a Notice of Motion in the High Court of Ireland against
         Worldport Inc. in which the landlord demands payment of approximately
         1.2 million Euros, which included additional rent that they claim had
         accrued since their prior demand. The demand amount was subsequently
         increased to 1.4 million Euros in April 2003. In June 2003, judgment
         was entered against Worldport requiring that Worldport pay Channor
         Limited Euro 750,000. In addition the High Court required that
         Worldport place Euro 500,000 into escrow with the Court pending plenary
         hearing. The Company made these payments in July 2003. These amounts
         were previously accrued in the fourth quarter of 2001. In conjunction
         with the judgment issued, the High Court deferred the balance of the
         claim to plenary hearing. January 2003, the Company's legal counsel
         received a letter from legal counsel for the landlord in which the
         landlord demanded that the Company assume the position of tenant under
         the lease. Should the Company be forced to assume the position of
         tenant under the lease, the Company could be obligated for the full
         amount of rent through 2010 plus certain taxes and maintenance
         expenses. In July 2003, the Company notified Channor that it would be
         prepared to assume the lease subject to a number of conditions to which
         Channor has yet to respond. The Company is continuing to contest the
         validity of each of the landlord's demands. However, the outcome of the
         matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
         consolidated results of the Company in excess of amounts already

                                       16

         recorded. Included in Accrued Expenses at June 30, 2003 is $6.2
         million, which represents rent payable on the data center between
         January 2002 and 2010, the earliest contractual termination date of the
         lease.

               The Industrial Development Agency Ireland ("IDA") is seeking
         payment of 3.4 million Euros from the Company. These claims relate to
         unpaid invoices for bandwidth services provided to the Company's
         subsidiary in Ireland (now in liquidation). The Company is contesting
         the validity of the claims and believes that the claims, to the extent
         valid, are obligations of the Company's Irish subsidiary and not of
         Worldport Inc., but is continuing to investigate the claims. There can
         be no assurance that such claims will not be successful against
         Worldport Inc. However, the outcome of the matter is not expected to
         have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of the
         Company in excess of amounts already recorded.

               On January 8, 2003, four substantially identical complaints were
         filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department,
         Chancery Division against the Company and its then current directors
         (the "Illinois actions"). Additionally, on January 16, 2003, a
         complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.
         The foregoing actions purport to be brought on behalf of all public
         stockholders of the Company in connection with the W.C.I. Offer. The
         actions allege, among other things, that certain of the defendants have
         breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders.
         The complaints purport to seek, inter alia, a variety of relief,
         including in certain circumstances damages and an injunction preventing
         consummation of the W.C.I. offer.

               In one of the Illinois actions, on April 30, 2003 an amended
         complaint was filed (which added Heico and J O Hambro Capital
         Management Limited as defendants) that purports to allege both class
         and shareholder derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duties, waste
         of corporate assets and unjust enrichment with regard to the Company's
         self-tender offer and repurchase of preferred stock. The amended
         complaint purports to seek, inter alia, rescission of the Company's
         self-tender offer and repurchase of the Company's preferred stock,
         damages, costs and attorneys' fees. On July 8, 2003 the Illinois
         actions were consolidated, and on July 10, 2003 a Consolidated Amended
         Class and Derivative Complaint was filed which, on behalf of the
         plaintiffs in each of the Illinois actions, purports to assert the same
         claims, seeking the same relief against the same parties, as were
         asserted in the amended complaint. The Company believes these
         allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously contest the
         allegations.

               On March 12, 2003, a complaint was filed in the United States
         Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware against the Company. The
         complaint was filed on behalf of one of the Company's former customers,
         which is now in bankruptcy and alleges breach of contract, fraud, and
         misrepresentation in connection with the sale of indefeasible rights of
         use ("IRUs") to the customer. The plaintiff is seeking payment of $2.2
         million plus legal costs and punitive damages. The Company intends to
         defend this claim and believes that it has meritorious defenses.

               On March 12, 2003, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed
         in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company,
         its then current directors and Heico. The complaint alleges breaches of
         fiduciary duty relating to the Company's repurchase of the Company's
         preferred stock. The complaint seeks a declaration that the defendants
         have breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its common
         stockholders, damages, costs, and attorneys' fees. The Company believes
         these allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously contest
         the allegations.

               In addition to the aforementioned claims, the Company is involved
         in various lawsuits or claims arising in the normal course of business,
         and the Company has established reserves for several such suits and
         claims. In the opinion of management, none of these lawsuits or claims
         will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of
         operations of the Company, however there can be no assurances that
         current reserves will be sufficient.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Note on "Forward-Looking" Statements
         ------------------------------------

               The information set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis
         of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") contains
         certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
         of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities
         Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others (i) expected
         resolution of the Company's contingent liabilities and (ii) prospective
         business opportunities, as further explained in Item 1 of the Company's
         Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
         Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical
         information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking
         statements may be identified by use of terms such as "believes",
         "anticipates", "intends" or "expects". These forward-looking statements
         relate to the plans, objectives and expectations of the Company.
         Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the
         forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within
         the bounds of its knowledge, in light of the risks and uncertainties
         inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking
         statements in this report should not be regarded as a representation by
         the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the
         Company will be achieved.

               During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and the first quarter of
         fiscal 2002, the Company either sold or ceased operating all of its
         operating businesses. Accordingly, the Company's results of these
         exited businesses have been classified as discontinued. The Company
         undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any future
         revisions it may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events
         or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
         unanticipated events.

               The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
         Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included
         under Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. In addition, the Financial Statements
         and Notes thereto and related Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's
         Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 should
         be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.


         Overview
         --------

               From 1997 to 1999, Worldport was a facilities-based global
         telecommunications carrier offering voice, data and other
         telecommunications services to carriers, Internet service providers,
         medium and large corporations and distributors and resellers operating
         in Europe and the United States. To finance certain acquisitions, the
         Company borrowed $120 million in June 1998 under an interim loan
         facility ("Interim Loan Facility"). In order to meet its obligations
         under its Interim Loan Facility, the Company sold substantially all of
         its material assets during the first quarter of 2000 (as described
         below).

               In November 1999, the Company entered into a series of agreements
         with Energis Plc to sell its 85% ownership interest in EnerTel. The
         sale was consummated on January 14, 2000 for $453.2 million, net of
         certain transaction expenses. The Company applied a portion of the net
         proceeds realized from the sale to repay existing debt, including debt
         incurred under the Interim Loan Facility, trade credit and other
         liabilities, and paid U.S. federal income taxes of approximately $57
         million on the gain.

               In the second quarter of 2000 the Company announced a new
         business strategy, focused on the delivery of Internet solutions to
         global companies doing business in the European marketplace. Pursuant
         to this strategy, the Company invested over $40 million to construct a

                                       18


<PAGE>

         new Internet solutions SuperCentre in Dublin, Ireland, which became
         operational in October 2000. In September 2000, the Company purchased
         VIS-able, a Swedish professional services firm specializing in complex
         systems development and consulting, for approximately $17.7 million.
         Finally, in April 2001, the Company acquired hostmark entities in the
         U.K., Sweden and Germany ("hostmark"), including the assumption of
         approximately $22 million in liabilities, for 5.1 million shares of the
         Company's common stock. The acquisition of hostmark provided Worldport
         with Internet solution centers ("ISC's") in London, Stockholm and
         Frankfurt. The hostmark companies had minimal revenues when the
         transaction was completed, and only one ISC was open for business.

               During 2001, the Company did not achieve the revenue growth in
         its managed hosting business that the Company had anticipated. The
         Company also experienced a decline in revenue in its Swedish
         professional services business. The general economic downturn, the
         slowdown in technology spending and the lengthening in the sales cycle
         for managed hosting services all contributed to these revenue
         shortfalls. In addition, the Company's Swedish professional services
         business was negatively affected by excess capacity in the Swedish
         consulting market, major pricing pressures, and slower customer
         decisions related to new IT projects for those services. The Company
         believed that these conditions, as well as the increasing level of
         competition and consolidation in the Web hosting and Internet
         infrastructure markets, would continue to have an adverse effect on
         Worldport's ability to achieve near term revenue targets and, if they
         continued, could erode the financial resources of the Company more
         rapidly than planned.

               Following the exploration and review of strategic alternatives,
         the Company determined that it was necessary to dramatically reduce the
         rate at which its operations were using cash and to minimize its
         exposure in markets that were experiencing significantly slower than
         expected market growth. As a result, the Company made a decision to
         take further restructuring actions and to divest itself of certain
         assets. Accordingly, the Company took the following actions in the
         fourth quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002:

               |X|  In November 2001, the Company announced that its Irish
                    subsidiary was ceasing operations at its Dublin, Ireland
                    facility. An orderly shutdown of the Ireland operations was
                    commenced, and was substantially completed by December 31,
                    2001.

               |X|  In December 2001, the Company sold the assets and certain
                    liabilities of its managed services business in Stockholm,
                    Sweden, to OM Technology AB for a final sales price of 7.5
                    million Swedish kronor (approximately $0.8 million), which
                    was fully collected by August 2002. OM also agreed to assume
                    the ownership of Worldport's Stockholm Internet solution
                    center and the operations at that center, and all customers'
                    contracts.

               |X|  In December 2001, the Company also sold its Swedish
                    professional services business (formerly known as VIS-able
                    International AB) to its employees in a management buyout
                    for $0.9 million, the majority of which is in the form of a
                    note. Due to uncertainties related to the collectibility of
                    this note, it has been fully reserved.

               |X|  In December 2001, the Company placed its German subsidiary,
                    Hostmark GmbH, into receivership under German law. As a
                    result of this action, the receiver has control over this
                    subsidiary's assets.

               |X|  In March 2002, the Company's Board of Directors made the
                    decision to make no further investment in its U.K. managed
                    hosting operation. The Company recorded a $10.0 million
                    restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2002 related to
                    this action. On March 26, 2002, the Company's U.K.
                    subsidiaries, Hostmark World Limited and Hostmark U.K.
                    Limited, filed a petition for Administration under the
                    United Kingdom Insolvency Act. An administrator was
                    appointed for these subsidiaries to either reorganize, find
                    new investors, sell or liquidate the U.K. businesses for the
                    benefit of their creditors. As a result of this action, the
                    administrator has control over these subsidiaries' assets.

                                       19

<PAGE>

               In connection with these activities, the Company recorded
         restructuring charges of $101.5 million and $10.0 million in the fourth
         quarter of 2001 and first quarter of 2002, respectively. The 2001
         restructuring charges included an $84.8 million asset impairment charge
         to write down the managed hosting long-lived assets to their expected
         net realizable value, facility exit costs of $9.3 million, bandwidth
         contract termination costs of $4.7 million, severance of $1.3 million,
         and other costs of $1.4 million. The 2002 restructuring charges
         included facility exit costs of $7.9 million, bandwidth contract
         termination costs of $0.4 million, and other costs of $1.7 million.

               In addition, the Company completed the sale of its remaining
         carrier business, Telenational Communications, Inc. ("TNC") in October
         2001 for a $0.4 million promissory note. Due to uncertainties related
         to the collectibility of this note, the note was fully reserved in
         2001. However, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company reached an
         agreement with the purchaser to accept $0.3 million in full
         satisfaction of the note. This amount was paid to the Company in the
         fourth quarter of 2002 and resulted in a cash gain of $0.3 million.

               As a result of the transactions described above, the Company no
         longer had active business operations as of March 31, 2002.
         Accordingly, the historical results of operations for prior periods are
         not comparable to the current period and are not representative of what
         future results will be.

               Since March 31, 2002, the Company has operated with a minimal
         headquarters staff while it has conducted the activities related to
         exiting its prior businesses. Following is a summary of the significant
         exit activities that have occurred since March 31, 2002.

               |X|  In April 2002, Worldport Ireland Limited was given notice
                    that a petition for winding up was filed and would be
                    presented to the Irish High Court by Global Crossing Ireland
                    Limited. The petition was heard by the Irish High Court on
                    May 13, 2002 and a liquidator was appointed for this
                    subsidiary to act on behalf of the creditors. As a result of
                    this action, the liquidator has control over this
                    subsidiary's assets.

               |X|  In August 2002, the U.K. administrator identified a new
                    third party tenant for the Slough, U.K., data center. The
                    third party paid approximately 5.7 million British pounds to
                    the U.K. administrator, in addition to the assumption of the
                    lease liability, for the Slough data center operation and
                    related assets. The Company had previously agreed to
                    guarantee, on behalf of its U.K. subsidiary, the Slough data
                    center lease expiring in 2015. In connection with the August
                    2002 transaction, the landlord agreed to release the
                    underlying lease guarantee and, therefore, relieve the
                    Company from the $7.7 million lease liability upon the
                    payment of 0.2 million British pounds (approximately $0.3
                    million), which payment was funded by the Company. The $7.7
                    million lease liability had originally been recorded by the
                    Company as part of the $10.0 million restructuring charge
                    taken on the U.K. business in the first quarter of 2002.
                    Accordingly, the Company reduced its liabilities by, and
                    recorded a non-cash gain from discontinued operations of,
                    $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2002.

               |X|  In September 2002, the liquidator for the Company's Irish
                    subsidiary disclaimed the leases for the two facilities
                    previously used by the Irish subsidiary. The Company
                    provided a guarantee with respect to the lease of one of the
                    facilities. See Part II, Item I "Legal Proceedings" for a
                    discussion of the legal proceedings relating to this
                    guarantee.

               |X|  Also in September 2002, Hostmark AB was put into liquidation
                    and a liquidator was appointed to control this subsidiary.
                    As a result of the asset sale to OM Technology AB in
                    December 2001, there were no assets and minimal liabilities
                    remaining in this Swedish subsidiary.

               |X|  In the third quarter of 2002, the Company was informed by
                    its German attorneys that the receiver terminated the
                    Frankfurt lease effective December 31, 2002 under the
                    provisions of German law. As a result, Hostmark GmbH is no
                    longer obligated for lease payments due after the effective
                    date (approximately $1.6 million). The lease liability had

                                       20

<PAGE>

                    originally been recorded by the Company as part of the
                    $101.5 million restructuring charge taken on the
                    discontinued businesses in the fourth quarter of 2001.
                    Additionally, the Company was informed that the receiver has
                    declared insufficiency of the estate under the provisions of
                    German law. This declaration was made because the receiver
                    determined that the remaining net assets of the German
                    company were not sufficient to cover the administrative
                    costs of the proceedings, and consequently, no distributions
                    would be made to the third party creditors (including the
                    Frankfurt landlord for lease payments prior to the December
                    31, 2002 termination date). This declaration can be revoked
                    in the future to the extent money is collected by the
                    receiver on behalf of Hostmark GmbH in an amount sufficient
                    to provide a distribution to the third party creditors.
                    Based on its understanding of the German proceedings, the
                    Company does not believe it is obligated to fund the
                    Frankfurt lease obligation or other creditor liabilities of
                    the German subsidiary. Therefore, in the third quarter of
                    2002, the Company reduced its Net Liabilities of
                    Non-controlled Subsidiaries by, and recorded a non-cash gain
                    from discontinued operations of, $1.4 million relating to
                    the net liabilities of the German subsidiary.

               |X|  In the second quarter of 2003, the Company's Chief Executive
                    Officer resigned and its remaining employees were
                    terminated. As a result, the Company does not currently have
                    any employees. Therefore, the Board appointed Michael E.
                    Heisley as Chief Executive Officer and Jonathan Y. Hicks as
                    Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Hicks is an employee of a Heico
                    affiliate, and certain employees of Heico are assisting the
                    Company in maintaining its books and records and performing
                    other administrative functions.

               |X|  On August 8, 2003, a Company Voluntary Arrangement was
                    approved for the Company's UK subsidiaries. The voluntary
                    arrangements contemplate a first and final dividend of
                    approximately 18 pence in the pound in the case of Hostmark
                    World Limited and 60 pence in the pound in the case of
                    Hostmark UK Limited, both of which are anticipated to be
                    paid to unsecured creditors by March 2004. Based on the
                    amount of the Company's current claims in such proceedings,
                    the Company would receive aggregate dividends of
                    approximately $6 million if dividends were made in these
                    amounts. Additionally, the Company would reduce Liabilities
                    of Non-controlled Subsidiaries by up to $5.6 million. It is
                    still possible that creditors or other parties in interest
                    could challenge the Company's claim or could assert
                    additional claimsTherefore, there can be no assurance that
                    the Company will receive a distribution in these
                    proceedings, or if a distribution is received, there can be
                    no assurance that the Company will receive the amount
                    currently contemplated by the Company Voluntary
                    Arrangements. As a result of the uncertainty regarding
                    collectibility, the Company has not recorded a gain for any
                    potential dividends.


Results of Operations
---------------------

               As described above, the Company had no active business operations
         as of March 31, 2002. Accordingly, results of these exited operations
         have been classified as discontinued.

               There were no revenues or cost of services from continuing
         operations in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and
         2002.

               Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $0.9
         million and $1.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
         respectively, and were $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the six months
         ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. SG&A expenses in the
         current and prior year primarily consisted of corporate salaries and
         benefits, professional service fees, corporate governance expenses and
         facility costs. For the three months and six months ended June 30,
         2003, SG&A expenses included $0.2 million of severance charges offset
         by the reversal of previously established a litigation reserve.

               Depreciation and amortization expense represented depreciation on
         the corporate office leasehold improvements and related computer
         hardware and software. Depreciation and amortization expense was less
         than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

               Interest income, which was earned on the Company's cash and cash
         equivalents, was $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the quarters ended
         June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and was $0.5 million and $0.9
         million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
         As a result of the lack of an operating business and its large number
         of stockholders, the Company must either maintain its liquid assets in
         government securities, which generally produce low returns, or
         otherwise comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of
         1940. As described in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
         Statements in Part I, Item I, for the first six months ended June 30,
         2003, the Company paid $67.6 million to repurchase preferred stock and
         $3.1 million to repurchase common stock. Therefore, the Company expects
         to earn less interest income from its cash and cash equivalents in
         future periods.

               Net loss from continuing operations was $0.8 million and $0.4
         million in the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and
         was $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
         2003 and 2002, respectively.

               There were no operating results from discontinued operations for
         the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003. The operating
         results of discontinued operations for the three months and six months
         ended June 30, 2002 were as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

               The Company had income from discontinued operations of $7.0
         million in the second quarter of 2002. In the first quarter of 2002,
         the Company recorded a liability of $7.8 million for facility exit
         costs as part of its $10.0 million restructuring charge on the U.K.
         business. These facility exit costs related primarily to the Company's
         agreement to guarantee the liability of its U.K. subsidiary on the
         Slough, U.K., data center lease expiring in 2015. However, in August
         2002, the U.K. administrator identified a new third party tenant for
         the Slough data center. In connection with this transaction, the
         landlord agreed to release the underlying lease guarantee and,
         therefore, relieve the Company from this lease liability upon the
         payment of 0.2 million British pounds (approximately $0.3 million),
         which payment was funded by the Company. This transaction was
         consummated in August 2002. Accordingly, the Company reduced its
         liabilities by, and recorded income from discontinued operations of,
         $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2002. This $7.7 million of income
         was partially offset by current quarter losses due to adjustments to
         previously estimated accruals and asset impairments on items related to
         the discontinued businesses.

               The Company had a loss from discontinued operations of $0.4
         million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This $0.4 million loss
         primarily consisted of the $10.0 million restructuring charge recorded
         in the first quarter of 2002 on the U.K. business and approximately
         $3.0 million of operating losses from the U.K. business prior to it
         being discontinued, partially offset by the $7.0 million of income
         recorded in the second quarter which is described above and a $5.6
         million tax benefit that was recognized in the first quarter of 2002.
         The first quarter tax benefit was the result of a new U.S. federal tax
         law that was enacted in March 2002, which allowed the Company to
         carryback a $5.6 million AMT tax credit from 2001 against taxable
         income in 2000, that was previously 100% reserved by a valuation
         allowance.

<PAGE>

               As a result, the Company had a net loss of $0.8 million in the
         second quarter of 2003, compared to net income of $6.5 million for the
         same period in 2002. The Company had a net loss of $1.3 million for the
         six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to a net loss of $1.6
         million for the same period in 2002.

               The following table summarizes the significant components of the

               The non-cash adjustments of $1.0 million primarily represent the

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

               The Company's continuing operations used $2.6 million during the
         six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to a use of cash of $2.5
         million during the six months ended June 30, 2002. These expenditures
         were primarily for salaries and benefits, severance, professional
         service fees, corporate governance expenses and facility costs related
         to the Company's minimal remaining corporate operations.

               The Company had minimal or no cash flows from investing
         activities during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

               Financing activities used $70.7 million during the first six
         months of 2003. $67.6 million was used for the repurchase of preferred
         stock, which represents the aggregate liquidation preference of the
         purchased shares, including a 7% dividend that was required under the
         terms of the preferred stock before any distributions on or purchase of
         the Company's common stock. Financing activities also used $3.1 million
         for the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Self-Tender Offer
         during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Company's discontinued
         operations used $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003,
         as compared to net cash flows from discontinued operations of $50.6
         million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which were primarily
         attributable to the receipt of a $57.6 million income tax refund in
         April 2002.

               In April 2002, the Company received a $57.6 million income tax
         refund in connection with the Company's 2001 Federal income tax return.
         However, receipt of the refund does not indicate that the Internal
         Revenue Service agrees with the positions taken by the Company in its
         tax returns. The Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting a
         survey of the refund claim. The Internal Revenue Service could require
         the Company to return all or a portion of this refund.

               Since ceasing its business operations, the Company has considered
         various alternatives in determining how and when to use its cash
         resources. The Company has sought and reviewed acquisition
         opportunities. However, the Company did not pursue any of these
         opportunities since it did not believe that any of them were in the
         best interests of its stockholders. The Company has also analyzed a
         potential liquidation of the Company and its effects on the Company's
         stockholders.

               The Company commenced a self-tender offer on March 7, 2003 for
         any and all of its outstanding common stock at a price of $0.50 per
         share (the "Self-Tender Offer"). The Self-Tender Offer expired on April

                                       23

<PAGE>

         11, 2003. Approximately 6.1 million shares were validly tendered and
         repurchased by the Company for a purchase price of approximately $3.1
         million. The repurchased shares have been retired by the Company, and,
         as of June 30, 2003, the Company has approximately 32.9 million shares
         of common stock outstanding.

               On March 7, 2003, in a separate transaction, the Company
         repurchased approximately 99% of its outstanding preferred stock from
         Heico. The shares were repurchased for $67.4 million, which represents
         the aggregate liquidation preference of the purchased shares, including
         a 7% dividend that is required under the terms of the preferred stock
         before any distributions on or purchase of the Company's common stock.
         In April 2003, Worldport paid an aggregate purchase price of $0.2
         million to complete similar purchase offers with the three remaining
         preferred stockholders, who owned, in aggregate, 34,056 shares of
         Series B preferred stock. Worldport has retired the preferred stock it
         has repurchased and as of June 30, 2003, the Company has no preferred
         stock outstanding. Litigation alleging breach of fiduciary duty has
         been filed relating to the repurchase of the preferred stock from Heico
         (see Part II, Item I "Legal Proceedings"). The Company intends to
         vigorously contest the allegations.

               Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company used
         $2.7 million in cash to buy out a capital lease related to our former
         web hosting operations. This transaction will result in a $2.6 million
         reduction in the capital lease obligations and a $0.1 million reduction
         in accrued expenses on the Company's balance sheet. The value of the
         related equipment had been previously written off. The Company now
         intends to pursue liquidation of such equipment, and the Company does
         not expect to receive material proceeds from the liquidation.

               Also subsequent to June 30, 2003, in Ireland a judgment was
         entered against Worldport requiring that Worldport pay Channor Limited
         Euro 750,000. In addition the High Court required that Worldport place
         Euro 500,000 into escrow with the Court pending plenary hearing on the
         balance of Channor's claim. The Company made these payments in July
         2003, which were accrued in the fourth quarter of 2001.

               As of August 13, 2003, the Company had approximately $39.6
         million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The
         Company's cash equivalents currently consist of money market funds.

               The Company intends to explore the possible benefits to its
         stockholders of changing its domicile to outside the United States or
         terminating the registration of its securities under the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934. The Company also intends to continue to consider
         potential acquisition opportunities, although the Company has not
         identified a specific industry on which it intends to focus and has no
         present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect
         to the acquisition of any specific business.

               The Company's June 30, 2003 consolidated balance sheet reflected
         total liabilities of $31.3 million. Included in this amount are $10.0
         million of Net Liabilities of Non-Controlled Subsidiaries for the U.K.,
         Irish and Swedish operations (see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated
         Financial Statements in Part I, Item I). The Company believes the
         parent company, Worldport Inc., will not be required to pay these
         liabilities. However, there can be no assurance that these creditors
         will not make claims against Worldport Inc. for these obligations. The
         Company used estimates to calculate these net liabilities. These
         estimates are subject to change based on the ability of the
         administrator, receiver or liquidator, as applicable, to sell the
         remaining assets and negotiate the final liability amounts.

               In August 2002, an agreement was reached between the
         Administrator for Hostmark U.K. Limited and a third party, in which the
         third party paid approximately 5.7 million British pounds, in addition
         to the assumption of the lease liability, for the Slough, U.K., data
         center and related assets. The 5.7 million British pounds proceeds may
         be used to satisfy all or a portion of the Net Liabilities of
         Non-controlled Subsidiaries for the U.K. entities, and accordingly, the
         Company may recognize non-cash gains in future periods as a result of
         this transaction. Additionally, prior to the Company's subsidiaries
         entering into receivership and administrative proceedings, Worldport


                                       24

<PAGE>

         Inc. from time to time made advances to these subsidiaries. Therefore
         Worldport Inc. is also a creditor of these subsidiaries in these
         proceedings. The Company is not able to determine at this time the
         priority of Worldport Inc.'s claim in such proceedings or whether or
         not Worldport Inc. will be able to recover any portion of these
         advances. The Company has been informed that it may receive a
         distribution as a result of the administration proceedings related to
         its U.K. subsidiaries of approximately $6.0 million. If Worldport Inc.
         is successful in collecting any portion of the advances made to any of
         its subsidiaries, the Company would recognize a gain and an increase of
         cash at that time.

               Excluding the Net Liabilities of Non-Controlled Subsidiaries for
         the U.K., Irish and Swedish operations discussed above, there are
         approximately $21.3 million of liabilities reflected on the Company's
         June 30, 2003, balance sheet attributable to Worldport Inc. and the
         remaining subsidiaries not in Administration, receivership or
         liquidation. Approximately $1.9 million of that amount represents
         normal operating accruals and reserves related to the continuing
         operations. The remaining $19.4 million consist of the following
         accruals for potential obligations related to the exited businesses:

               |X|  $6.2 million of potential future rent payments on the Dublin
                    data center lease for which Worldport Inc. had provided a
                    guarantee. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, this amount was
                    reduced for payments made in July 2003 (see Part II, Item I
                    "Legal Proceedings"),

               |X|  $5.0 million accrued for the potential exposure (including
                    VAT) related to the litigation by Cable & Wireless (see Part
                    II, Item I "Legal Proceedings"),

               |X|  $2.6 million of obligations under capital leases, which were
                    paid in full in August 2003,

               |X|  $4.3 million of obligations related to bandwidth contracts
                    entered into in Ireland,

               |X|  $0.8 million of obligations related to the old
                    telecommunications business, and

               |X|  $0.5 million of other Worldport Inc. obligations related to
                    the Irish operations.

               The Company has assumed, for purposes of calculating these
         liabilities, that it will not be able to mitigate them. However,
         Company management is currently seeking opportunities to further reduce
         these liabilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
         successful in its efforts to mitigate these liabilities or that
         additional claims will not be asserted against Worldport Inc.

               The Company is involved in various lawsuits or claims arising in
         the normal course of business, and the Company has established reserves
         for several such suits and claims. In the opinion of management, none
         of these lawsuits or claims will have a material adverse effect on the
         consolidated results of operations of the Company, however there can be
         no assurances that current reserves will be sufficient. See Part II,
         Item I "Legal Proceedings" for a discussion of ongoing litigation.


         New Accounting Pronouncements
         -----------------------------

               In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
         Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The statement requires
         that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
         activity be recognized when the liability is incurred as opposed to the
         date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The Company adopted
         SFAS No. 146 for any exit or disposal activities initiated after
         December 31, 2002.

               In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
         Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure--an amendment of
         FASB Statement No. 123." The statement amends FASB Statement No. 123,
         "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative
         methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
         method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
         addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of

                                       25

<PAGE>

         Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and
         interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
         stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on
         reported results. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements
         in this statement in 2002.




ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

               Prior to the fourth quarter 2001 and first quarter 2002
         transactions described above, the majority of the Company's operations
         were in Europe, and the revenue and expenses of those operations were
         denominated in local currencies. The remaining assets and liabilities
         of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated at period-end
         rates of exchange, and income statement items are translated at the
         average rates prevailing during the period. The resulting translation
         adjustment is recorded as a component of stockholders' equity. Exchange
         gains and losses on intercompany balances of a long-term investment
         nature are also recorded as a component of stockholders' equity. Other
         foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded in income on a current
         basis and have been included in Loss from Discontinued Operations. Due
         to the volatility of currency exchange rates, among other factors, the
         Company cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the
         Company's future operating results. As a result, the Company may incur
         gains and losses on foreign currency fluctuations. Other foreign
         exchange gains and losses included in income were minimal for the six
         months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The Company has used derivative
         instruments to hedge its foreign currency exposure only on a limited
         basis, and had no derivative instruments outstanding at June 30, 2003.




ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

               The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
         have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period
         covered by the report, that the Company's disclosure controls and
         procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
         disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
         reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and
         Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

               PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


               In March 2002, an Administrator was appointed for the U.K.
         subsidiaries, Hostmark World Limited and Hostmark U.K. Limited, by an
         order of the Companies Court, Chancery Division of High Court under the
         United Kingdom Insolvency Act. In April 2002, the Irish subsidiary,
         Worldport Ireland Limited, was given notice that a petition for winding
         up was filed and would be presented to the Irish High Court on behalf
         of Global Crossing Ireland Limited. The petition was heard by the Irish
         High Court on May 13, 2002 and a liquidator was appointed for this
         subsidiary to act on behalf of the creditors. As a result of these
         actions, the Administrator or liquidator has control over these
         subsidiaries' assets. The Company believes that each of these
         subsidiaries has liabilities, which exceed the recorded value of its
         assets. However, the Company has been informed that it may receive a
         distribution as a result of the administration proceedings of its U.K.
         subsidiaries. Certain creditors of the Company's subsidiaries have made
         claims directly against the parent company, Worldport Inc., for
         liabilities related to the operation of these subsidiaries and
         additional creditors could assert similar claims. There can be no
         assurance that Worldport Inc. will be successful in defending these
         claims and in limiting its liability for the obligations of its
         subsidiaries.

               One of the Company's subsidiaries, Hostmark World Limited, was
         the subject of court action by WSP Communications ("WSP") in the
         Companies Court of the Chancery Division of the High Court in the U.K.
         for the payment of approximately $0.5 million. In addition, WSP has
         alleged that a total of approximately $3 million is owed to it by
         Hostmark World Limited. WSP alleges that these amounts are owed for
         work completed on Internet solution centers in Germany, Sweden and the
         U.K. This action was stayed by the appointment of an Administrator for
         Hostmark World Limited.

               In June 2002, the High Court of Ireland issued a Summary Summons
         to the parent company, Worldport Inc., on behalf of Cable & Wireless
         (Ireland) Limited, who is seeking payment of 1.0 million British pounds
         and 2.3 million Euros, together with applicable VAT. (Excluding VAT,
         this represents approximately $4.0 million.) These claims relate to
         unpaid invoices for Internet services provided by Cable & Wireless
         (Ireland) Limited to the Company's subsidiary in Ireland (now in
         liquidation) and termination of contract charges. The Company is
         contesting the validity of the claims and believes that the claims, to
         the extent valid, are obligations of the Company's Irish subsidiary and
         not of Worldport Inc., but is continuing to investigate the claims.
         There can be no assurance that such claims will not be successful
         against Worldport Inc. However, the outcome of the matter is not
         expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results
         of the Company in excess of amounts already recorded.

               In October 2002, the Company received a letter from legal counsel
         to Channor Limited, the landlord of the data center in Dublin, Ireland,
         with respect to the Company's guarantee on that facility. This letter
         demanded the payment within 14 days of approximately 0.9 million Euros
         in accrued rent and charges and the confirmation of the Company's
         liabilities as guarantor under the lease. In February 2003, Channor
         Limited filed a Notice of Motion in the High Court of Ireland against
         Worldport Inc. in which the landlord demands payment of approximately
         1.2 million Euros, which included additional rent that they claim had
         accrued since their prior demand. The demand amount was subsequently
         increased to 1.4 million Euros in April 2003. In June 2003, judgment
         was entered against Worldport requiring that Worldport pay Channor
         Limited Euro 750,000. In addition the High Court required that
         Worldport place Euro 500,000 into escrow with the Court pending plenary
         hearing. The Company made these payments in July 2003. These amounts
         were previously accrued in the fourth quarter of 2001. In conjunction
         with the judgment issued, the High Court deferred the balance of the
         claim to plenary hearing. In January 2003, the Company's legal counsel
         received a letter from legal counsel for the landlord in which the
         landlord demanded that the Company assume the position of tenant under
         the lease. Should the Company be forced to assume the position of
         tenant under the lease, the Company could be obligated for the full
         amount of rent through 2010 plus certain taxes and maintenance

                                       27

<PAGE>

         expenses. In April 2003, Channor issued a High Court Plenary Summons
         seeking an Order for Specific Performance requiring the Company to take
         over the lease. In July 2003, the Company notified Channor that it
         would be prepared to assume the lease subject to a number of conditions
         to which Channor has yet to respond. The Company is continuing to
         contest the validity of each of the landlord's demands. However, the
         outcome of the matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect
         on the consolidated results of the Company in excess of amounts already
         recorded. Included in Accrued Expenses at June 30, 2003 is $6.2
         million, which represents rent payable on the data center between
         January 2002 and 2010, the earliest contractual termination date of the
         lease.

               On January 8, 2003, four substantially identical complaints were
         filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department,
         Chancery Division against Worldport and its then current directors (the
         "Illinois actions"). Additionally, on January 16, 2003, a complaint was
         filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The foregoing
         actions purport to be brought on behalf of all public stockholders of
         the Company in connection with the W.C.I. Offer. The actions allege,
         among other things, that certain of the defendants have breached their
         fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders. The complaints
         purport to seek, inter alia, a variety of relief, including in certain
         circumstances damages and an injunction preventing consummation of the
         W.C.I. offer.

               In one of the Illinois actions, on April 30, 2003, an amended
         complaint has been filed (which added Heico and J O Hambro Capital
         Management Limited as defendants) that purports to allege both class
         and shareholder derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duties, waste
         of corporate assets and unjust enrichment with regard to the Company's
         self-tender offer and repurchase of preferred stock. The amended
         complaint purports to seek, inter alia, rescission of the Company's
         self-tender offer and repurchase of the Company's preferred stock,
         damages, costs and attorneys' fees. On July 8, 2003 the Illinois
         actions were consolidated, and on July 10, 2003 a Consolidated Amended
         Class and Derivative Complaint was filed which, on behalf of the
         plaintiffs in each of the Illinois actions, purports to assert the same
         claims, seeking the same relief against the same parties, as were
         asserted in the amended complaint. The Company believes these
         allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously contest the
         allegations.

               On March 12, 2003, a complaint was filed in the United States
         Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware against the Company. The
         complaint was filed on behalf of one of the Company's former customers
         which is now in bankruptcy and alleges breach of contract, fraud, and
         misrepresentation in connection with the sale of indefeasible rights of
         use ("IRUs") to the customer. The plaintiff is seeking payment of $2.2
         million plus legal costs and punitive damages. The Company intends to
         defend this claim and believes its has meritorious defenses

               On March 12, 2003, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed
         in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company,
         its then current directors, and Heico. The complaint alleges breaches
         of fiduciary duty relating to the Company's repurchase of the Company's
         preferred stock. The complaint seeks a declaration that the defendants
         have breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its common
         stockholders, damages, costs and attorneys' fees. The company believes
         these allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously contest
         the allegations.

               In addition to the aforementioned claims, the Company is involved
         in various lawsuits or claims arising in the normal course of business,
         and the Company has established reserves for several such suits and
         claims. In the opinion of management, none of these lawsuits or claims
         will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of
         operations of the Company, however there can be no assurances that
         current reserves will be sufficient.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

               On March 7, 2003, the Company repurchased approximately 99% of
         its outstanding preferred stock from Heico. The shares were repurchased
         for $67.4 million, which represents the aggregate liquidation
         preference of the purchased shares, including a 7% dividend that is
         required under the terms of the preferred stock before any
         distributions on or purchase of the Company's common stock. In April
         2003, Worldport paid an aggregate purchase price of $0.2 million to
         complete similar purchase offers with the three remaining preferred
         stockholders, who owned, in aggregate, 34,056 shares of Series B
         preferred stock. Worldport has retired the stock it has repurchased.

               The Company commenced a self-tender offer on March 7, 2003 for
         any and all of the Company's outstanding common stock at a price of
         $0.50 per share (the "Self-Tender Offer"). The Self-Tender Offer
         expired on April 11, 2003. Approximately 6.1 million shares were
         validly tendered and repurchased by the Company for a purchase price of
         approximately $3.1 million.

               Heico is controlled by Michael E. Heisley, Chairman and Chief
         Executive Officer of the Company, and his family. Heico, Hambro, and
         Stanley H. Meadows, a director of the Company, entered into a
         stockholders agreement as of April 15, 2003, in which they agreed,
         among other things, to vote all shares of the Company's common stock
         over which they have voting control in order to cause the Company's
         Board to consist of two representatives designated by Heico and two
         representatives designated by Hambro and to cause the Company not to
         take specified actions, including the issuance or repurchase of equity
         securities, a material change in the Company's business and certain
         acquisitions, investments and claim settlements, without the approval
         of a majority of the directors designated by Heico and of the majority
         of the directors designated by Hambro. According to the Schedule 13D,
         as amended, of Michael E. Heisley and Heico, Heico is the beneficial
         owner of 6,077,707 shares of the Company's common stock (18.4% of the
         outstanding shares as of June 30, 2003) and holds warrants to purchase
         679,451 shares of common stock (2.1% of the outstanding shares as of
         June 30, 2003) and Mr. Heisley holds options to purchase 2,114,583
         shares of common stock (6.4% of the outstanding shares as of June 30,
         2003). According to the Schedule 13D, as amended, of Hambro, Hambro is
         the beneficial owner of 9,367,869 shares of the Company's common stock
         (28.4% of the outstanding shares as of June 30, 2003). Mr. Meadows is
         the beneficial owner of 1,764,129 shares of the Company's common stock
         (5.4% of the outstanding shares as of June 30, 2003). A copy of the
         shareholders' agreement is attached to the Amended Form 13-D filed by
         Heico on April 28, 2003.
