EXPLANATORY NOTE

This amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is being filed
for the purpose of amending and restating Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I and Item 6
of Part II of the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2003 to (i)
reflect the restatement of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of
and for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 for the adoption of a corrected
method in which we calculate our quarterly CBS royalty expenses as described in
Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, (ii) make revisions
to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" as warranted by the restatement, (iii) make revisions to Item 4 of
Part I to reflect our evaluation of controls and procedures as of the date of
the filing of this amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (iv) update the
Certifications pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 to the filing date of this amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have
made no further changes to the originally filed Form 10-Q. Although this
amendment incorporates certain revisions, as noted, to historical financial data
and related descriptions, all other information in this amended Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q is as of the date the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was originally
filed. This amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not intended to provide an
update of, and does not reflect, any subsequent information or events after the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was originally filed.

In addition, the Company is filing amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for
each of the other quarterly periods in fiscal year 2003 to restate its condensed
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for quarterly periods ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, and September 30, 2003 and 2002 and its condensed
consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and September 30,

MARKETWATCH, INC.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business

The Company

MarketWatch, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading multimedia source for
financial news and information. It was formed on October 29, 1997 as a Delaware
limited liability company, and was jointly owned by Data Broadcasting
Corporation, now known as Interactive Data Corporation ("IDC"), and CBS
Broadcasting Inc. ("CBS"), with each owning a 50% interest in the Company. In
January 1999, the Company reorganized as a corporation and completed an initial
public offering of 3,162,500 shares of common stock. After the initial public
offering, CBS and IDC each owned approximately 38% of the Company. In February
2000, IDC completed a merger with the specialist asset valuation business, or
the FTAM, of the Financial Times Group, which is a part of Pearson plc.
("Pearson"). In January 2001, an affiliate of Pearson plc acquired IDC's 34.1%
stake in the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The interim financial data as of June 30, 2003 and for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the
Company the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

During the first six months ended June 30, 2003 the Company re-classified
certain broadcast and membership center revenues, previously disclosed as
"Other," into advertising revenues. Prior periods have been adjusted to be
comparable with the current presentation.

Note 2 - Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation agreements
in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(APB No.25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related
interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure-only alternative of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), as amended by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (SFAS 148), "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." In accounting for stock-based transactions with
non-employees, the Company records compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123
and Emerging Issues Task Force 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That
are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services."

The following table illustrates the effect on income from continuing
operations and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair-value
recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation. The
estimated fair value of each Company option is calculated using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The Company calculated the fair value compensation expense associated with
its stock-based employee compensation plans using the Black-Scholes model. The
following assumptions were used for valuing option grants for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002: no dividend yield, weighted-average
expected option term of four years, risk-free interest rates of 2.4% and 3.8%,
respectively, for the three months and 2.5% and 4.1%, respectively, for the six
months, and volatility factors of 60% and 105%, respectively, for the three
months and 83% and 105%, respectively, for the six months. The assumptions used
related to calculating compensation expense associated with the employee stock
purchase plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were: no
dividend yield, weighted-average term of six months, risk-free interest rates of
1.6% and 1.7%, respectively, for the three months and 1.5% and 1.7%,
respectively, for the six months and volatility factors of 60% and 105%,
respectively, for the three months and 84% and 105%, respectively, for the six
months.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because changes with respect to the subjective
assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its stock options.

Because additional stock options are expected to be granted each year, the
above pro forma disclosures are not representative of pro forma effects on
reported financial results for future periods.

Note 3 - Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options
(using the treasury stock method). Common equivalent shares are excluded from
the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Options to purchase 3,206,090 and 2,556,549 shares of common stock were
outstanding at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were not included in
the computation of diluted net loss per share because either the options'
exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares
during the period or inclusion of such options would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

Under its license agreement with CBS, the Company expensed $715,000 and
$749,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and

2002, respectively, and $586,000 and $844,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively, for production of television and radio programming.

IDC purchased $22,000 and $8,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002, respectively, and $22,000 and $33,000 for the six months ended June 30,

respectively, to IDC for data feeds.

Direct charges for subscription revenues for certain IDC data feeds were
$10,000 and $17,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, and $21,000 and $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002, respectively.

Note 5 - Restructuring Charges

In the second quarter of 2001, the Company implemented a plan to reduce
costs and improve operating efficiencies by discontinuing initiatives and
enhancements of its wireless and broadband businesses, and recorded a
restructuring charge of $1.4 million. The restructuring charge consisted
primarily of severance and benefits of $300,000 related to the involuntary
termination of approximately 35 employees; the estimated lease costs of $510,000
pertaining to future obligations for non-cancelable lease payments for excess
facilities; and the write-off of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures,
software and computer equipment with a net book value of $530,000. The assets
were taken out of service as they were deemed unnecessary due to the reduction
in workforce. In addition, the Company accrued for legal and consulting costs of
$70,000 related to the restructuring. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had
$57,000 remaining in its restructuring accrual for lease costs and other
expenses. The remaining accrual will be paid in cash and the restructuring will
be complete by December 31, 2003.

Note 6 - Change in Accounting for Goodwill and Certain Other
Intangibles

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142
(SFAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company discontinued
amortization of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. The carrying amount of goodwill
at June 30, 2003 totaled $22.4 million. SFAS 142 prescribes a two-phase process
for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for impairment;
while the second phase (if necessary), measures the impairment. The Company
performed a transitional impairment test of its goodwill and intangible assets
as of June 30, 2002 and found no indications of impairment at that time. In
addition, the Company completed its first phase impairment analysis during the
quarter ended December 31, 2002 and found no instances of impairment of its
recorded goodwill; accordingly, in both impairment reviews during 2002, the
second testing phase, absent future indicators of impairment, was not
necessary.

Note 7 - Segment Reporting

The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," establishes standards
for reporting information about operating segments in a company's financial
statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about
which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in one
segment.

Note 8 - Restatement

The Company has restated its condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, its
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002 and its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30,
2003 and 2002. The restatement reflects the adoption of a corrected method in
which the Company calculates its quarterly CBS royalty expenses by recognizing
royalty expenses based on the estimated effective annual royalty rate, which
requires management to estimate the annual gross revenues subject to the CBS
royalty fees and excluded revenues not subject to the CBS royalty fees, and
apply the derived effective annual royalty rate to all revenues in each of the
quarters within a fiscal year. Historically, the Company recognized CBS royalty
expenses in the quarter in which it became obligated to pay such expenses based
on the specified royalty rate applied to the relevant revenue of that quarter.
The restatement has an effect on the Company's cost of net revenues, gross
profits, net loss and loss per share for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and
2002.

The restatement has no impact on the Company's annual operating results, cash
flow or royalty due to CBS, including fiscal 2003 and 2002 results, as the
restatement relates only to the timing of the accruals of the CBS royalty
expenses among the quarters within a fiscal year.

Note 9 - Subsequent Event

The Company and Pinnacor Inc. ("Pinnacor"), formerly known as
ScreamingMedia, signed a definitive agreement on July 22, 2003 whereby the
Company will acquire Pinnacor. Under the terms of the agreement, a new company
will be formed to combine the businesses of the Company and Pinnacor. Each
Company stockholder will receive one share of the stock of the combined company
for each share of the Company common stock. Each Pinnacor stockholder will have
the right to receive either $2.42 in cash or 0.2659 shares of the stock of the
combined company for each share of Pinnacor common stock, subject to proration.
The aggregate consideration to be paid to Pinnacor stockholders will be
approximately $44.0 million in cash and 6.5 million shares of common stock of
the combined company. The acquisition is subject to customary closing
conditions, including regulatory approval and the approval of the Company and
Pinnacor stockholders.

Furthermore, on July 24, 2003, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed
against Pinnacor, Inc., or Pinnacor, certain of Pinnacor's current officers and
directors, and us in the Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuit purports to be a
class action filed on behalf of holders of Pinnacor's common stock as of the
date of the announcement of the proposed acquisition of Pinnacor by us. The
lawsuit alleges that the Pinnacor's directors breached their fiduciary duties in
proceeding with the sale of Pinnacor to us by agreeing to an inadequate proposed
purchase price which fails adequately to compensate Pinnacor shareholders for
the loss of control of the company. The lawsuit alleges that we aided and
abetted these breaches of fiduciary duty in some unspecified way. The lawsuit
seeks an unspecified amount of damages and also prays for an injunction against
consummation of the proposed transaction.

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

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding our
expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies that are signified by the
words "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "believes", or similar language. All
forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information
available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any
such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating our business,
prospective investors should carefully consider the information set forth below
under the caption "Factors That May Affect Our Operating Results" in addition to
the other information set forth herein. We caution investors that our business
and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and
uncertainties.

Overview

We completed our initial public offering in January 1999. Prior to our
initial public offering, we were formed in October 1997 as a Delaware limited
liability company owned 50% each by Data Broadcasting Corporation, or DBC, now
known as Interactive Data Corporation, or IDC, and CBS Broadcasting Inc., or
CBS. We were formed as the successor to DBC's Online/News Business, which
commenced operations in October 1995. Immediately prior to the closing of our
initial public offering, we were reorganized from a limited liability company
into a corporation. In January 2001, an affiliate of Pearson, plc. acquired
IDC's stake in our Company.

Since our formation, we have operated as a multi-media provider of financial
news and information, with services including news articles, feature columns,
financial programming and analytic tools, such as stock quotes and charting.
These services are available free of charge. We sell advertising banners and
sponsorships on our Web sites; earn advertising revenue from our television and
radio programming; license our content and tools to electronic brokers,
financial publishers and portals; and sell subscriptions to our news letters and
other premium products.

We currently have several agreements with our principal stockholders,
including a license agreement with CBS whereby it licenses its trademark and
certain news content to us for royalties approximating 8% of all of our net
revenues other than revenue attributable to IDC and certain other revenue. The
license agreement expires in October 2005.

As of June 30, 2003, CBS and an affiliate of Pearson collectively hold
approximately 65% of our outstanding common stock.

Our ability to generate significant revenue or maintain profitability in the
future is uncertain. Further, in view of the rapidly evolving nature of our
business and our limited operating history, we have little experience
forecasting our revenues. Therefore, we believe that period-to-period
comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and you
should not rely upon them as an indication of our future performance. To date,
we have incurred substantial costs to create, introduce and enhance our
services, to develop content, to build brand awareness and to grow our business.
Although we achieved net income in the fourth quarter of 2002 and the first
quarter of 2003 and were cash flow positive for the twelve months ended December
31, 2002 and the first and second quarters of 2003, given the general economic
uncertainty and the continued uncertainty of the advertising market, we may not
generate net income or remain cash flow positive for fiscal 2003 or any
particular fiscal quarter. We may also incur additional costs and expenses
related to content creation, technology, marketing or acquisitions of businesses
and technologies to respond to changes in our rapidly changing industry. These
costs could have an adverse effect on our future financial condition or
operating results.

Restatement

We restated our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, our condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and our
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2003 and 2002. The
restatement reflects the adoption of a corrected method in which we calculate
our quarterly CBS royalty expenses by recognizing royalty expenses based on the
estimated effective annual royalty rate, which requires management to estimate
the annual gross revenues subject to the CBS royalty fees and excluded revenues
not subject to the CBS royalty fees, and apply the derived effective annual
royalty rate to all revenues in each of the quarters within a fiscal year.
Historically, we recognized CBS royalty expenses in the quarter in which it
became obligated to pay such expenses based on the specified royalty rate
applied to the relevant revenue of that quarter. The restatement has an effect
on our cost of net revenues, gross profits, net loss and loss per share for the
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Note 8 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report provides a summary of
the restatement for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. In addition, we
restated our condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for
each of the other quarters in fiscal years 2003 and 2002 and condensed
consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and September 30,
2003 and 2002.

This restatement has no impact on our annual operating results, cash flow or
royalty due to CBS, including fiscal 2003 and 2002 results, as the restatement
relates to the timing of the accrual of the CBS royalty expenses among the
quarters within a fiscal year.

Results of Operations

Net Revenues

Net revenues are derived from the sale of advertising on our Web
sites, licensing of our content, advertising revenue from sponsored links,
advertising revenues from our television and radio broadcasts, subscription
sales of our newsletters, and other premium products and fees from our
membership center. During the first six months ended June 30, 2003, we re-
classified certain broadcast and membership center revenues, previously
disclosed as "Other," into advertising revenues. Prior periods have been
adjusted to be comparable with the current presentation.

Net revenues decreased by 8% to $11.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 2003 from $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and
increased 2% to $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $21.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily as a result of a decline in licensing
revenue due to the expiration of a five-year licensing commitment from IDC and
the consolidation of the financial services industry. The increase for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily a result of an increase in advertising
and subscription revenue in the first quarter ended March 31, 2003 partially
offset by a decrease in licensing revenue. The increase in advertising revenue
was primarily due to an increase in the number of advertisers and in the size of
advertising buys on our Web sites; an improvement in rates charged for
advertising sold on our television program; and increased sales on current and
new radio stations. The increase in subscription revenue was primarily due to
the acquisition of the Hulbert Financial Digest in April 2002 and its related
revenue stream as well as the launch of The Calandra Report subscription product
in March 2003.

Substantially all of our advertising customers purchase advertising under
short-term contracts. Customers can and have ceased advertising on short notice
without penalty. Our advertising revenues would be adversely affected if we were
unable to renew advertising contracts with existing customers or obtain new
customers. We expect to continue to derive a significant amount of our future
net revenues from selling advertisements. The market for Web advertising is
intensely competitive, therefore advertising rates could be subject to
additional pricing pressure in the future. If we are forced to reduce our
advertising rates or we experience lower CPM's (cost per thousand page views)
across our Web sites for any reason, future advertising revenues could be
adversely affected.

Licensing revenues depend on customer contract renewals and could decrease
further if customers choose to renew for lesser amounts, terminate early or
forego renewal, or we do not obtain new customers. A significant amount of our
licensing revenue is earned from brokerages and financial services companies,
which have experienced hardship due to the recent economic downturns. The amount
of licensing revenues depends, in part, on the number of users these customers
have each month. If the number of users were to decrease, our licensing revenue
would decrease. The growth of our licensing revenues could also be limited as
there are a limited number of brokerages and financial services companies to
license our content. In addition, certain license contracts guarantee the
performance of our Web sites. If our sites do not perform as guaranteed,
licensing revenue would be adversely affected.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of net revenues primarily consists of news staff compensation,
royalties payable to CBS and content providers, bandwidth costs associated with
serving pages on our Web properties and licensing clients, fees paid for data,
Web site infrastructure costs, costs of serving ads, exchange fees and
communication lines, and costs related to subscriptions, including printing and
mailing costs.

Cost of revenues increased by 2% to $4.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and
increased by 5% to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $8.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Cost of revenues increased
primarily due to an increase in compensation for news personnel and data center
costs related to the opening of a new data center in Chicago. As a percentage of
net revenues, cost of revenues were 39% and 35% for the three months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and 39% and 38% for the six months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cost of revenues increased as a percentage of
net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 primarily due to a decline
in revenue and an increase in employee costs.

Product Development

Product development expenses primarily consist of data source fees,
compensation and benefits for Web site developers, designers and engineers to
maintain the sites, software engineers, and expenses for contract programmers
and developers.

Product development expenses decreased by 5% to $1.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
2002 and increased 9% to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003
from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Product development
expenses decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2003 primarily due to a
decrease in compensation expense. Product development expenses increased for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 primarily due to an increase in data source fees
related to the favorable terms received in contract negotiations in the six
months ended June 30, 2002, and costs associated with the development of the
Hulbert Financial Digest products. Product development expenses were 16% of net
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and
16% and 15% of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation and
benefits for finance, business development and administrative personnel,
professional fees, public company costs and corporate depreciation charges.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 10% to $2.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 from $3.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2002, and decreased 3% to $5.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2003 from $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. General and
administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in bad debt and
tax expenses partially offset by an increase in compensation expense and a
slight increase in professional service fees. As a percentage of net revenues,
general and administrative costs were 25% and 26% for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and 26% and 27% for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of non-cash promotion
and advertising provided by CBS, online and offline advertisements, promotional
materials, compensation, benefits and sales commissions to our direct sales
force.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 65% to $2.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 from $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2002 and decreased 67% to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003
from $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. As a percentage of
net revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 22% and 60% for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and 22% and 67% for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased primarily due to a decrease in CBS in-kind advertising expense. As a
significant portion of the CBS in-kind advertising expired in June 2002, we
utilized it to the fullest extent during the first and second quarters of 2002.

Interest Income

Interest income of $135,000 and $269,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2003, respectively, resulted from interest earned on the proceeds
from additional financing from CBS and IDC received on May 5, 2000 and cash from
operations. Interest income of $183,000 and $365,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, resulted from interest earned on the
proceeds from additional financing from CBS and IDC received on May 5, 2000.
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased as a result
of a decline in returns due to lower interest rates resulting from current
market conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception in October 1997, we have funded our operations primarily
from cash contributed and advanced by IDC and CBS, revenues from advertising and
licensing sales and the proceeds from our initial public offering. Our cash and
cash equivalents totaled $46.3 million at June 30, 2003, compared to $43.3
million at December 31, 2002.

Cash provided by operating activities was $2.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to a net loss of $376,000 and an increase in
prepaid expenses and accounts receivable of $528,000, offset by non-cash charges
for depreciation and amortization of $2.0 million, an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $1.1 million and an increase in deferred revenue
of $505,000.

Cash provided by operating activities was $2.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to a net loss of $9.9 million, offset by non-
cash charges of $9.3 million in advertising provided by CBS and $2.4 million in
depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. Cash provided by
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 also included a decrease in
accounts receivable of $134,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $734,000, partially offset by an increase in prepaid and other
assets of $305,000 and a decrease in deferred revenue of $107,000.

Cash used in investing activities was $631,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2003 and consisted of capital expenditures for purchases of computer
hardware and software.

Cash used in investing activities was $838,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2002 and consisted of capital expenditures for purchases of computer
hardware and leasehold improvements related to leased facilities and the April
2002 purchase of Hulbert Financial Digest.

Cash provided by financing activities was $881,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 and primarily reflected proceeds from the sale of common stock
through our employee stock purchase plan in February 2003 and stock option
exercises during the six-month period.

Cash provided by financing activities was $252,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and primarily reflected proceeds from the sale of common stock
through our employee stock purchase plan in February 2002.

As of June 30, 2003, commitments under noncancellable operating leases
totaled $10.3 million through December 31, 2010. Additionally, we have entered
into certain agreements with America Online, Inc, or AOL, to make payments for
advertising and placement of our content on their service over the next year. As
of June 30, 2003, we are committed to pay $1.1 million to AOL over the next two
years.

We believe our current cash position will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the
next 12 months. We may need to raise funds sooner if we acquire any additional
businesses, products or technologies. If additional funds were raised through
the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our then-current
stockholders would be reduced. However, if CBS or Pearson elects to maintain its
percentage interest pursuant to the exercise of the purchase right under its
stockholders' agreements then CBS or Pearson would not necessarily suffer a
reduction in its ownership. Furthermore, such equity securities may have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock.

The Company and Pinnacor Inc. ("Pinnacor"), formerly known as ScreamingMedia,
signed a definitive agreement on July 22, 2003 whereby the Company will acquire
Pinnacor. Under the terms of the agreement, a new company will be formed to
combine the businesses of the Company and Pinnacor. Each Company stockholder
will receive one share of the stock of the combined company for each share of
the Company common stock. Each Pinnacor stockholder will have the right to
receive either $2.42 in cash or 0.2659 shares of the stock of the combined
company for each share of Pinnacor common stock, subject to proration. The
aggregate consideration to be paid to Pinnacor stockholders will be
approximately $44.0 million in cash and 6.5 million shares of common stock of
the combined company. The acquisition is subject to customary closing
conditions, including regulatory approval and the approval of the Company and
Pinnacor stockholders.

Factors that May Affect Our Operating Results

We Have Entered into a Merger Agreement with Pinnacor Inc. but the
Completion of the Merger Is Subject to Various Closing Conditions, Some of Which
Are Outside of Our Control, and We Cannot Predict the Effects the Completion of
the Merger, or the Failure to Complete the Merger, Will Have on Our Business,
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 22, 2003, we entered into a merger agreement with Pinnacor Inc.
pursuant to which we will acquire Pinnacor's business and establish a combined
company. Under the terms of the agreement, based on the closing price and the
number of outstanding shares of our common stock on July 22, 2003, upon the
completion of the merger, which is currently anticipated to be in the fourth
quarter of 2003, former Pinnacor stockholders will hold approximately 27%, and
our stockholders will hold approximately 63%, of the outstanding common stock of
the combined company. However, the completion of the merger is still subject to
many conditions and we cannot assure you that the proposed merger will occur as
scheduled, if at all. Moreover, the process of integrating the two businesses
may be prolonged due to unforeseen difficulties and may require a
disproportionate amount of our resources and management's attention.
Furthermore, even if the merger is completed, we cannot assure you that the
proposed benefits of the merger can be achieved or achieved at the level
currently anticipated. All of the forward-looking statements made in this
quarterly report with respect to our business, results of operations and
financial condition are necessarily influenced, and would be materially
affected, by our proposed merger with Pinnacor.

We May Experience Potential Fluctuations in Our Quarterly Operating
Results, Face Unpredictability of Future Revenue and Continue to Incur Losses in
the Future

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future
as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control.
These factors include:

- fluctuations in traffic levels on our Web sites, which can be significant as
a result of business, financial and other news events;
- weakening demand for advertising on our Web sites as well as on the Web in
general;
- reductions in rates paid for Web advertising resulting from softening
demand, competition, disruption of business due to threats of conflict or
military action involving the United States, or other factors;
- changes in demand for licenses of our technology and news;
- our ability to develop new products and services;
- our ability to enter into or renew on favorable terms our marketing and
distribution agreements;
- the amount and timing of our costs related to our marketing efforts or other
initiatives;
- the amount and timing of costs related to our new product development
efforts;
- fees we may pay for distribution or content agreements or other costs we
incur;
- new services introduced by us or our competitors;
- the level of Web usage such as time spent online or number of pages viewed;
- competitive factors;
- costs associated with restructuring activity;
- technical difficulties or system downtime affecting the Web generally or the
operation of our Web sites; or
- economic conditions specific to the Web as well as general economic
conditions.

Although we generated net income in the fourth quarter of 2002 and were cash
flow positive for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and the first six
months of 2003, you should not rely on the results for those periods as an
indication of future performance. In particular, given the general economic
uncertainty and the softness of the advertising market, we may not remain cash
flow positive or generate net income for fiscal 2003 or any particular remaining
quarter in fiscal 2003.

Over time, our revenues have come from a mix of advertising, content
licensing, broadcasting and subscription service fees. Licensing revenue
declined in the first and second quarters of 2003 primarily due to difficult
market conditions faced by companies in the financial services industry. We
expect our quarterly revenues and operating results to be particularly affected
by changes in the level of our advertising and licensing revenue for each
quarter. Our operating expenses are based on our current expectations of our
future revenues and are relatively fixed in the short term. If we have lower
revenues than we expect, we may not be able to quickly reduce our spending in
response. Any shortfall in our revenues would have a direct impact on our
operating results for a particular quarter and these fluctuations could affect
the market price of our common stock in a manner unrelated to our long-term
operating performance.

We Depend on the Sale of Advertisements on Our Web Sites, and If Demand
for Web Advertising Continues to Soften, Our Business Would Be Harmed

We expect to derive a substantial amount of our revenues from advertising
for the foreseeable future. Over the last two years, we and other Web publishers
have experienced a significant softening in demand for advertising services due
to decreased spending on Web advertising by companies and general uncertainty
about the economy. We expect this reduced demand to continue for the foreseeable
future. In addition, threats of conflict or military action involving the United
States may further disrupt business, curb spending by companies or otherwise
slow down economic recovery. The continued decline in the advertising market
would substantially harm our business and could result in a decline in the
trading price of our common stock.

We compete with traditional advertising media, such as print, radio and
television, for a share of advertisers' total advertising budgets. We would lose
revenue if the Web were not perceived as an effective advertising medium. Also,
advertisers that have traditionally relied upon other advertising media may be
reluctant to advertise on the Web especially given the general uncertainty in
the economy. Advertisers that already have invested substantial resources in
other advertising methods may be reluctant to adopt a new advertising strategy
and may find it more difficult to measure the effectiveness of Web advertising.
In addition, our online advertising packages are sold in campaigns ranging from
less than two weeks to a year or more. Advertisers generally have the right to
cancel a campaign with two weeks notice without penalty. Therefore, our
advertising revenues would be adversely affected if we fail to offer a desirable
opportunity for on-line advertising.

A substantial portion of our online advertising revenue comes from Internet
commerce and financial services companies that have been adversely affected by
the recent market downturn, which has resulted in these companies spending less
for on-line advertising. If we do not diversify our advertiser base and continue
to attract advertisers from other industries, our business could be adversely
affected. Moreover, diversification of our advertising base may require us to
adapt to different requirements and expectations that these new advertisers may
have with respect to advertising programs. If we fail to adapt accordingly, our
business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Further, some of the existing brokerage and financial services companies and
customers in other markets that we target have merged and additional mergers may
occur in the future, which would further reduce the number of our existing and
potential customers. For example, in the prior year, Ameritrade, one of our
customers, acquired Datek, which was also one of our customers. As a result, our
online advertising revenue was adversely affected.

We Rely Significantly on Revenue from Advertising, Which Is Difficult to
Forecast Accurately

A significant amount of our revenue comes from advertisements displayed
on our Web sites. We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of
advertisements under short-term contracts, which are difficult to forecast
accurately. In addition, our advertising packages are sold in campaigns ranging
from less than two weeks to a year or more. Advertisers generally have the right
to cancel a campaign with two weeks notice without penalty. In cases where the
advertiser is providing services, the agreements often have payments contingent
on usage levels. Some of our advertisers are Internet companies that, in certain
cases, may lack financial resources to fulfill their commitments. Accordingly,
it is difficult to accurately forecast these revenues. Our expense levels are
based in part on current expectations of future revenues and are fixed over the
short term with respect to certain categories. We may be unable to adjust
spending quickly enough to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.
Accordingly, the cancellation or deferral of advertising agreements could have a
material adverse effect on our financial results.

No Standard Has Been Widely Accepted to Measure the Effectiveness of Web
Advertising and Changes in Current Pricing Models Could Seriously Harm Our
Operating Results

Different pricing models are used to sell advertising on the Web. It is
difficult to predict which, if any, will emerge as the industry standard. This
makes it difficult to project our future advertising rates and revenues. For
example, advertising rates based on the number of "click throughs," or user
requests for additional information made by clicking on the advertisement,
instead of rates based solely on the number of impressions, or times an
advertisement is displayed, could adversely affect our revenues because
impression-based advertising comprises a substantial majority of our current
advertising revenues. In addition, our advertising revenues could be adversely
affected if we are unable to adapt to new forms of Web advertising.

Moreover, "filter" software programs that limit or prevent advertising from
being delivered to a Web user's computer are available. Widespread adoption of
this software could adversely affect the commercial viability of Web
advertising.

We Are Susceptible to Third Party Software Programs That Serve Pop-up
Advertisements on Our Web Sites

There exist third party software programs that deliver selected
advertisements based on the Web sites visited by the user. These advertisements
usually are in the form of pop-up ads that are often based on the content the
user is viewing at a particular time. Many times this software is downloaded
onto the user's computer without the user's knowledge, understanding or consent,
as the software often comes bundled with other applications that the user
downloads, such as file-sharing software or media players. The software can then
track the user's Web surfing habits and display content, such as pop-up ads,
that most users are unaware have no connection with the site they are then
viewing. The pop-up ads may compete with the advertising, services and products
that we sell on our Web sites, potentially infringe our copyrights, and can lead
to confusion for our customers as the pop-up software deceives the user as to
the origin of the advertisement. Also, our customers may blame us for defects in
the services and products promoted by the pop-up ads or for fraud perpetuated
against them in connection with such pop-up ads either of which could damage our
reputation and result in significant damages. If the prevalence of such forms of
software increase and no restrictions are placed on their usage, our business
may be harmed.

We Depend on Licensing Revenues, and If Licensing Revenues Were to
Decline, Our Business Could Be Harmed

We expect to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the
licensing of our content to customers. Licensing revenue depends on new customer
contracts and customer contract renewals, and could decrease if new business is
not found or customers renew for lesser amounts, terminate early or forego
renewal. We derive a significant percentage of our licensing revenue from a
small number of large clients, and from brokerages and financial services
companies. In many cases, the amount of licensing revenue depends on the number
of qualified account holders these customers have each month. If the number of
qualified account holders were to decrease, our licensing revenue could
decrease. A number of these brokerages and financial services companies have
experienced a decrease in account holders as a result of the recent market
downturn. The growth of our licensing revenue could also be limited as there are
a limited number of brokerages and financial services companies. In addition,
certain license contracts guarantee the performance of our Web sites. If our
sites do not perform as guaranteed, our licensing revenue would be adversely
affected.

Some of the licensing tools we have created and currently market to existing
and potential customers require users to disclose personally identifiable
information and allow us access to such confidential information. Due to
concerns about user privacy issues, existing and potential licensing customers
may be deterred from licensing these tools, which could harm our future
licensing revenue.

We receive a portion of the data incorporated in our licensing products from
third parties, some of which are competitors. For example, we receive data from
Dow Jones and Thomson Financial Corporation. If they or others perceive us as a
competitor, they may discontinue providing services to us. Also, some of our
third party data providers have restrictions on access to and use of these data,
which may make our licensing products incorporating such data less attractive to
our existing and potential customers, which in turn may adversely affect our
licensing revenue.

Further, a substantial portion of our licensing revenue comes from media and
financial services companies, which have been adversely affected by the recent
market downturn. If we do not diversify our client base and continue to attract
customers from other industries, our business could be adversely affected.
Moreover, some of the existing brokerage and financial services companies and
customers in other markets that we target may have merged and additional mergers
may occur in the future, which would further reduce the number of our existing
and potential customers and adversely affect our licensing revenue. For example,
in the prior year, Ameritrade, one of our customers, acquired Datek, which was
also one of our customers. As a result, our licensing revenue was adversely
affected.

We Depend on CBS and Pearson for a Number of Services and Other Rights,
and Our Business Would Be Materially Adversely Affected if Either One of Them
Terminates Their Strategic Relationships With Us

Pursuant to our license agreement with CBS, we were granted the right to
use the CBS name and logo, as well as CBS Television Network news content in
connection with the operation of the CBS.MarketWatch.com Web site. This license
agreement will expire on October 29, 2005 and CBS has no obligation to renew it.
Also, under specific circumstances, CBS may terminate the license agreement
earlier. If we are not able to renew our license agreement with CBS or CBS
terminates the license agreement earlier than October 29, 2005, we would need to
change the name of our Web site and devote substantial resources toward building
a new brand name. Regardless of such expenditures, we may not be able to
continue to attract a sufficient amount of user traffic and advertisers to our
Web sites without the CBS name and logo or promotion from CBS.

Moreover, we are subject to a number of restrictions in consideration for the
license grant and provision of news content from CBS. For example, CBS can
require us to remove any content on our Web sites that it determines conflicts,
interferes with or is detrimental to its reputation or business or which CBS
deems inappropriate. We are also required to conform to CBS's guidelines for the
use of its trademarks. CBS has the right to approve all materials, such as
marketing materials, that include any CBS trademarks. CBS also has control over
the visual and editorial presentation of its television news content on our Web
sites. Because of these restrictions, we may not be able to perform our desired
marketing activities, and if we fail to comply with these restrictions, CBS may
terminate the license agreement.

Similarly, pursuant to our service agreement with Pearson, Pearson provides
us with real-time financial data for dissemination to licensing clients and
subscribers of certain of CBS.MarketWatch.com subscription services. If Pearson
suspends delivery of delayed financial data or fails to provide such financial
data satisfactorily, we would be required to perform these services ourselves or
obtain these services from another provider. We may not be able to replace these
services on cost effective or commercially reasonable terms or, if we choose to
perform these services ourselves, we may not be able to perform them adequately.
During any such transition, our services could be disrupted for an indefinite
period of time and, as a result, we could lose a substantial number of users and
advertisers.

The Interests of CBS and Pearson Could Conflict with the Interests of Our
Other Stockholders and, Given Their Substantial Stock Ownership in the Company,
We May Not Be Able to Resolve Any Future Conflict with Either of Them on Terms
Favorable to Us

CBS and Pearson may experience conflicts of interest in their business
dealings with us with respect to decisions involving business opportunities and
other similar matters. For example:

- CBS could license its name and logo to other Web sites or Internet services
that deliver general news, sports and entertainment. These sites or services
could also offer financial news, so long as delivering comprehensive stock
quotes and financial news to consumers in the English language is not their
primary function and their principal theme and format;
- Pearson may provide hosting services to other Web sites;
- Pearson could also establish an advertising-supported Web site that does not
have as its primary function and its principal theme and format the delivery of
financial news and stock quotes;
- CBS or Pearson could license their respective content to other Web sites or
Internet services; or
- CBS or Pearson could make certain investments in other Web sites or Internet
services.

The occurrence of any of the above actions could adversely affect our
business. For example, these sites or services supported by CBS or Pearson could
compete with us or CBS and Pearson might promote these other sites or services
more actively than they promote our Web sites and services.

We Depend on Our Strategic Relationships with Other Web Sites

We depend on establishing and maintaining distribution relationships with
high-traffic Web sites for a portion of our traffic. There is intense
competition for placements on these sites, and we may not be able to enter into
such relationships on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Even if we enter
into distribution relationships with these Web sites, they themselves may not
attract a significant number of users. Therefore, our sites may not receive
additional users from these relationships. Moreover, we may have to pay
significant fees to establish these relationships and continue to pay
significant fees to maintain these types of relationships.

Occasionally, we enter into agreements with advertisers, content providers or
other high-traffic Web sites that require us to exclusively feature these
parties in certain sections of our Web sites. Existing and future exclusivity
arrangements may prevent us from entering into other content agreements,
advertising or sponsorship arrangements or other strategic relationships. Many
companies we may pursue for a strategic relationship also offer competing
services. As a result, these competitors may be reluctant to enter into
strategic relationships with us. Our business could be adversely affected if we
do not establish and maintain additional strategic relationships on commercially
reasonable terms or if any of our strategic relationships do not result in
increased use of our Web sites.

We Are in a Highly Competitive Industry and Some of Our Competitors May Be
More Successful in Attracting and Retaining Customers

The market for Internet services and products is relatively new,
intensely competitive and rapidly changing. The number of Web sites on the
Internet competing for consumers' attention and spending has proliferated and we
expect that competition will continue to intensify. We compete, directly and
indirectly, for advertisers, viewers, members and content providers with the
following categories of companies:

- publishers and distributors of traditional off-line media, such as
television, radio and print, including those targeted to business, finance and
investing needs, many of which have established or may establish Web sites, such
as The Wall Street Journal and CNN;
- general purpose consumer online services such as AOL and Microsoft Network,
each of which provides access to financial and business-related content and
services;
- Web sites targeted to business, finance and investing needs, such as
TheStreet.com and the Motley Fool;
- Web search and retrieval and other online services, such as Google, Yahoo!,
Lycos and other high-traffic Web sites, which offer quotes, financial news and
other programming and links to other business and finance-related Web sites;
- data companies that provide value-added tools, including charts, portfolios,
and stock screeners, such as Reuters and Thomson Financial Corporation;
- providers of standardized and customized investment research tools, such as
Pinnacor and SmartMoney; and
- publishers of financial news for an institutional audience such as Reuters
and Dow Jones.

We anticipate that the number of direct and indirect competitors will
increase in the future. This could result in price reductions for our
advertising or licensed content and tools, reduced margins, operating losses or
loss of market share, any of which would materially adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

Many of our existing competitors, as well as a number of potential new
competitors, have longer operating histories in the Web market, greater name
recognition, larger customer bases, higher amounts of user traffic and
significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. Such
competitors may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt
more aggressive pricing policies, make more attractive offers to potential
employees, distribution partners, advertisers and content providers and may be
able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in Web
user requirements. Further, we cannot assure you that they will not develop
services that are equal or superior to ours or that achieve greater market
acceptance than our offerings. Increased competition could also result in price
reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could
seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our Intellectual Property Rights Are Costly and Difficult to Protect

We rely primarily on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade
secret laws, our user policy and content license agreement and user agreement
restrictions on disclosure and use to protect our intellectual property, such as
our content, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets. We also enter into
confidentiality agreements with our employees and consultants, and seek to
control access to and distribution of our proprietary information. Despite these
precautions, it may be possible for a third-party to copy or otherwise obtain,
misappropriate, infringe and use the content on our Web sites or our other
intellectual property without authorization. A failure to protect our
intellectual property could seriously harm our business, operating results and
financial condition. In addition, we may need to engage in litigation in order
to enforce our intellectual property rights in the future or to determine the
validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could
result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources,
either of which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results
and financial condition.

We May be Subject to Intellectual Property Infringement Claims, Which Are
Costly to Defend and Could Limit Our Ability to Use Certain Technologies in the
Future

We license certain technology, data and content from third parties. In
these license agreements, the licensors have generally agreed to defend,
indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim by a third-party that the licensed
technology or content infringes any third party's intellectual property rights.
However, we can not assure you that the outcome of any litigation between such
licensors and a third-party or between us and a third-party will not lead to
royalty obligations for which we are not indemnified or for which such
indemnification is insufficient or unavailable from the licensor, or that we
will be able to obtain any additional license on commercially reasonable terms,
if at all. In the future, we may seek to license additional technology or
content in order to enhance our current features or to introduce new services,
such as certain new community features. However, any such licenses may not be
available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The loss of or inability
to obtain or maintain any of these technology or content licenses could result
in delays in the introduction of new services until equivalent technology or
content, if available, is identified, licensed and integrated, which could harm
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, in our content license agreements, we have generally agreed to
defend, indemnify and hold our licensees harmless from any claim by a third-
party that the licensed content infringes any third party's intellectual
property rights. Infringement or other claims may be asserted or prosecuted
against us and/or our clients in the future whether resulting from our
internally developed intellectual property or licenses or content from third
parties. Any future assertions or prosecutions could materially adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any such claims,
with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and
diversion of technical and management personnel or require us to introduce new
content, technology or trademarks, develop non-infringing technology or content
or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing
agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In
the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or
inability to introduce new technology, content or trademarks, develop non-
infringing technology or content or license the infringed or similar technology
or content on a timely basis, our business, results of operations and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.

We Depend on Third-Party Software to Track and Measure the Delivery of
Advertisements and It Could Be Difficult to Replace These Services

It is important to our advertisers that we accurately measure the
demographics of our user base and the delivery of advertisements on our Web
sites. We depend on third-party software to provide these measurement services.
If the third-party is unable to provide these services in the future, we would
be required to perform them ourselves or obtain them from another provider. This
could cause us to incur additional costs or cause interruptions in our business
during the time we are replacing these services. We have implemented and are
implementing additional systems designed to record demographic data on our
users. If we are not successful in developing these systems, we may not be able
to accurately evaluate the demographic characteristics of our users. As a
result, companies may not advertise on our Web sites or may pay less for
advertising if they do not perceive our measurements or measurements made by
third parties to be reliable.

Our Business Will Be Adversely Affected If We Do Not Develop and Maintain
an Effective Sales Force

We depend on our sales force to sell advertising on our Web sites and
license our content. This involves a number of risks including:

- our sales personnel have, in a number of cases, only worked for us for a
short period of time;
- our ability to hire, retain, integrate and motivate sales and sales support
personnel;
- the length of time it takes new sales personnel to become productive; or
- the competition we face from other companies in hiring and retaining sales
personnel.

If we are unable to attract and retain an appropriate sales force, our
revenue may fail to increase or may decline.

If We Do Not Expand Our Operations Successfully, Our Business Will be
Harmed

As we grow, we may need to expand our operational systems, procedures and
controls in order to support our business. If we are unable to accomplish any of
these, our growth could be constrained and our business could be adversely
affected.

We Must Develop New and Enhanced Services and Features for Our Web Sites

We believe that our Web sites will be more attractive to advertisers if
we develop a larger audience comprised of demographically favorable users and
introduce additional or enhanced services. For example, we acquired Hulbert
Financial Digest and have begun to offer Hulbert newsletters through
subscription. We intend to introduce additional or enhanced services in the
future. If the subscription products or other services we introduce are not
favorably received, we may not attract new users and our current users may not
continue to access our Web sites or use our services as frequently, which would
make us less attractive to advertisers. New users could also choose competitive
Web sites or services over ours. Moreover, if our new services do not achieve
sufficient market acceptance and generate the anticipated revenues, we would not
be able to recoup the costs of developing, marketing and maintaining such
services.

We may also experience difficulties that could delay or prevent us from
introducing new services. Furthermore, these services may contain errors that
are discovered after the services are introduced. We may need to significantly
modify the design of these services on our Web sites to correct these errors.
Our business could be adversely affected if we experience difficulties in
introducing new services or if users do not accept these new services.

We Depend on the Continued Growth in Use of the Web, Particularly for
Financial News and Information

Because we expect to depend significantly on advertising revenue for the
foreseeable future, our business depends on businesses and consumers continuing
to increase their use of the Web for obtaining news and financial information as
well as for conducting commercial transactions. Our advertising revenue and
therefore our business would be adversely affected if Web usage does not
continue to grow. Web usage may be inhibited for a number of reasons, such as:

- inadequate network infrastructure;
- security concerns;
- inconsistent quality of service; and
- availability of cost-effective, high-speed service.

In the event Web usage grows, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to
support the demands placed on it by this growth or its performance and
reliability may decline. Web sites have experienced interruptions in their
service as a result of outages and other delays occurring throughout the
Internet network infrastructure. If these outages or delays frequently occur in
the future, Web usage in general and usage of our Web sites in particular, could
grow more slowly or decline.

We Depend on Key Personnel Who May Not Continue to Work for Us

We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued
ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified sales,
technical, editorial and managerial personnel, and upon the continued service of
our senior management. Although we have employment agreements with some of our
key executives, none of our personnel are bound by an employment agreement that
prevents such person from terminating his or her employment with us at any time
for any reason. At times we have experienced difficulties in attracting new
personnel. If we cannot successfully attract, integrate, retain and motivate a
sufficient number of qualified personnel, we may be unable to conduct our
business in the future.

We May Have Difficulty Scaling and Adapting Our Existing Architecture to
Accommodate Increased Traffic and Technology Advances

Our business relies on our ability to serve Web pages in a consistent and
timely manner. In the past, our Web sites have experienced significant increases
in traffic when there were significant business or financial news stories. In
addition, the number of our users has increased over time and we are seeking to
further increase our user base. If the traffic on our Web sites grows at a rate
that our current communication lines cannot support, our Web pages will be
served at a slower rate or we will be unable to serve pages at all.

We also rely on certain third-party providers for a significant amount of our
current bandwidth capacity. If these providers are unable to maintain their
service level agreements or we are unable to obtain additional bandwidth as our
traffic grows, our business would be adversely affected. Our Web sites have in
the past and may in the future experience slower response times and other
problems for a variety of reasons. Also, our Web sites have in the past and may
in the future experience down time and other problems due to server problems or
capacity.

We also depend on multiple information providers, such as FT Interactive
Data, S&P Comstock, Dow Jones, Thomson Financial Corporation and Reuters, to
provide information and data feeds on a timely basis. Our Web sites could
experience disruptions or interruptions in service due to the failure or delay
in the transmission or receipt of this information. In addition, our users
depend on Internet service providers, online service providers and other Web
site operators for access to our Web sites. Each of them has experienced
significant outages in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other
difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems in the future.
These types of occurrences could cause users to perceive our Web sites as not
functioning properly and therefore cause them to use other methods to obtain
their business and financial news and other information.

Our market is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry
standards and frequent new product announcements, which are exacerbated by the
growth of the Web and the intense competition in our industry. We may fail to
successfully adapt to our rapidly changing market by continually improving the
performance, features and reliability of our services. We could also incur
substantial costs if we need to modify our services or infrastructure in order
to adapt to these changes. Our business could be adversely affected if we
incurred significant costs without adequate results or cannot adapt to these
changes.

Unauthorized Break-Ins and Other Disruptions to Our Site Could Harm Our
Business

Our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic
break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays or
loss of data. In addition, unauthorized persons may improperly access our data.
A number of popular Web sites have experienced attacks from "hackers" and other
intrusions. Any actions like these may harm us and may be very expensive to
remedy and could damage our reputation and discourage new and existing users
from using our site. We also provide indemnification to some of our licensing
customers for unauthorized access to and use of customer data as a result of
break-ins and other unauthorized access. Our defense of any action brought
against us based upon improper access to confidential customer data or
indemnification of our licensing customers for similar claims brought against
them could be costly and involve significant distraction of our management and
other resources. Also, our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect
systems against damage from fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications
failure, and other events beyond our control. Our insurance policies have low
coverage limits and therefore our insurance may not adequately compensate us for
any losses that may occur due to any failures or interruptions in our systems.

Web Security Concerns Could Hinder Internet Commerce

The need to securely transmit confidential information over the Internet
has been a significant barrier to electronic commerce and communications over
the Web. Any well-publicized compromise of security could deter more people from
using the Web or from using it to conduct commercial transactions that involve
transmitting confidential information, such as stock trades or purchases of
goods or services. Because many of our advertisers seek to encourage people to
use the Web to conduct financial transactions or purchase goods or services, our
business could be adversely affected if our security is breached. We may also
incur significant costs to protect against the threat of security breaches or to
alleviate problems caused by such breaches.

We Could Face Liability Related to Our Storage of Personal Information
About Our Users

Our data privacy policy is not to willfully disclose any individually
identifiable information about any user to a third-party without the user's
consent. Despite this policy, however, if third persons were able to penetrate
our network security or otherwise misappropriate our users' personal information
or credit card information, we could be subject to liability, including claims
for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other
similar fraud claims, and misuses of personal information, such as for
unauthorized marketing purposes. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission and
certain states have been investigating certain Internet companies regarding
their use of personal information. Also, California recently passed a privacy
law that would apply to a security breach that affects unencrypted, computerized
personal information of a California resident. If, for example, we inadvertently
disclose, or there was unauthorized access to, the social security number or
driver's license number of one of our users who is also a California resident,
we would be obligated and may incur significant costs to inform such a user of
the inadvertent disclosure of or unauthorized access to such user's personal
information and also may be subject to civil actions for damages, as authorized
by the new privacy law. Furthermore, we could incur additional expenses if
additional regulations regarding the use of personal information are introduced
or if federal and state agencies chose to investigate our privacy practices.

We Could Face Liability for the Information Displayed on Our Web Sites

We may be subjected to claims for libel, slander, defamation, negligence,
copyright or trademark infringement or based on other theories relating to the
information we publish on our Web sites or license to our clients. These types
of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against online services as
well as other print publications in the past. We could also be subjected to
claims based upon the content that is accessible from our Web sites through
links to other Web sites. Moreover, because we license some data and content
from third parties, our exposure to various claims may increase. Although we
generally obtain representations as to the origins and ownership of licensed
content from third parties and generally obtain indemnification from these third
parties to cover any breach of any such representations, we do not generally
receive representations or indemnification to cover libel, slander, defamation,
or negligence relating to the third party content. Moreover, the indemnification
provided by these third parties may be insufficient to provide adequate
compensation for any breach of such representations, and our insurance may not
adequately protect us against these types of claims and related indemnification
obligations. Our defense of any action brought against us based upon the content
that is accessible from our Web sites could be costly and involve significant
distraction of our management's time and other resources.

Future Regulation of the Internet May Slow Its Growth, Resulting in
Decreased Demand for Our Products and Services and Increased Costs of Doing
Business

There are currently few laws or regulations that specifically regulate
communications or commerce on the Web. However, laws and regulations may be
adopted in the future that address issues such as user privacy, pricing,
Internet sales tax and the characteristics and quality of products and services.
For example, the Telecommunications Act sought to prohibit transmitting certain
types of information and content over the Web. Several telecommunications
companies have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate
Internet service providers and online services providers in a manner similar to
long distance telephone carriers and to impose access fees on these companies.
This could increase the cost of transmitting data over the Internet. Moreover,
it may take years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to
issues such as property ownership, libel and personal privacy are applicable to
the Web. Any new laws or regulations relating to the Web could adversely affect
our business.

The Continuing Conflict in Iraq, Future Terrorist Attacks and Threats of
or Actual War May Negatively Impact All Aspects of Our Operations, Revenues,
Costs and Stock Price

The continuing conflict in Iraq and the events of September 11, 2001, as
well as events occurring in response or connection to them, including future
terrorist attacks against United States targets, rumors or threats of war,
actual conflicts involving the United States or its allies, or military
disruptions may impact our operations. For example, the disruption of the global
financial markets due to the events on September 11, 2001 including the shutdown
of NASDAQ and NYSE, impacted the reporting of financial information on our Web
sites. More generally, any of these events could cause consumer confidence and
spending, including spending on the Web, to decrease, which may impact our
online advertising revenues. Also, volatility in the United States and worldwide
financial markets and economy has contributed to volatility in the stock prices
of United States publicly traded companies. The continuing conflict in Iraq, and
further acts of terrorism and civil disturbances in the United States or
elsewhere could have a significant impact on our operating results, revenues and
costs.

We Are Involved in Securities Class Action Litigations and Are At Risk of
Additional Similar Litigation

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought
against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of
securities. Similarly, securities class action litigation has been brought
against the company following the public announcement of a merger, acquisition
or other business combination. We are a party to the securities class action
litigations relating to our initial public offering and proposed merger with
Pinnacor Inc., each as more fully described in Part II, Item 1, "Legal
Proceedings." The defense of the litigations described in Item 1 have increased
our expenses and diverted our management's attention and resources, and an
adverse outcome in the litigation relating to our proposed merger with Pinnacor
may increase our expenses in consummating the proposed merger, divert the
attention and resources of the integration team tasked to effectively assimilate
and combine the two businesses, and cause the combined company following the
merger to incur charges and other additional expenses. Also, an adverse outcome
in the litigation could deter the successful completion of the merger or if the
merger was permitted to proceed, seriously harm the business and results of
operations of the combined company. Furthermore, we may in the future be the
target of other securities class action or similar litigation.

We Face Risks Associated with Potential Acquisitions

We have made acquisitions in the past and may make acquisitions in the
future. Acquisitions of companies, products or technologies entail numerous
risks, including an inability to successfully assimilate acquired operations and
products, diversion of management's attention, loss of key employees of acquired
companies and substantial transaction costs. Some of the services acquired may
require significant additional development before they can be marketed and may
not generate revenue at anticipated levels. Moreover, future acquisitions by us
may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of
additional debt, large one-time write-offs and the creation of goodwill or other
intangible assets that could result in significant amortization expense. Any of
these problems or factors could seriously harm our business, financial condition
and operating results.

Specifically, on July 22, 2003 we entered into a merger agreement with
Pinnacor Inc. pursuant to which we will acquire Pinnacor's business and
establish a combined company. The completion of the merger is currently
anticipated to be in the fourth quarter of 2003 and is subject to various
closing conditions, some of which are outside of our control. We cannot assure
you that the proposed merger will occur as scheduled, if at all. We cannot
predict the effects the completion of the merger, or the failure to complete the
merger, will have on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

New Laws and Regulations Affecting Corporate
Governance May Impede Our Ability to Retain and Attract Board Members, Executive
Officers, and Increase the Costs Associated with Being a Public Company

On July 30, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The new act is designed to enhance corporate
responsibility through new corporate governance and disclosure obligations,
increase auditor independence, and tougher penalties for securities fraud. In
addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ have adopted rules
in furtherance of the act and are considering adopting others. This act and the
related new rules and regulations will likely have the effect of increasing the
complexity and cost of our company's corporate governance and the time our
executive officers spend on such issues, and may increase the risk of personal
liability for our board members, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer and other executives involved in our company's corporate governance
process. As a result, it may become more difficult for us to attract and retain
board members and executive officers involved in the corporate governance
process. In addition, we have experienced, and will continue to experience,
increased costs associated with being a public company, including additional
professional and independent auditor fees.

Because Two of Our Large Stockholders Beneficially Own 65% of Our Stock,
They Have Substantial Control Over the Management of Our Company and Significant
Sales of Stock Held by Them Could Have a Negative Effect on Our Stock Price

Currently CBS and Pearson beneficially own 65% of our outstanding common
stock. CBS currently has three representatives and Pearson currently has one
representative on our board of directors. As a result of their ownership and
board positions, CBS and Pearson individually and collectively are able to
significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including
the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of our company. In addition, sales of significant
amounts of shares held by either of CBS or Pearson or collectively, or the
prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.

After the completion of the acquisition of Pinnacor, the former Pinnacor
shareholders will hold approximately 27%, and our stockholders will hold
approximately 63% of the outstanding stock of the combined company. As a result,
CBS and Pearson's collective beneficial ownership will decrease to 49% of the
combined company. In addition, under the terms of the merger agreement, Pinnacor
will be entitled to nominate two members to the board of directors, thus
increasing the number of directors to twelve. As a result, the ability of CBS
and Pearson to collectively control matters requiring board and stockholder
approval will decrease.

Our Common Stock Price Is Volatile and Could Fluctuate Significantly

The trading price of our stock has been and may continue to be subject to
wide fluctuations. During the last 52 week period ended June 30, 2003, the
closing sale prices of our common stock on the NASDAQ National Market ranged
from $3.89 to $9.78. Our stock price may fluctuate in response to a number of
events and factors, such as quarterly variations in operating results,
announcements of technological innovations or new products and media properties
by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates and recommendations by
securities analysts, the operating and stock price performance of other
companies that investors may deem comparable, news reports relating to trends in
our markets and general economic conditions. In addition, the stock market in
general, and the market prices for Internet-related companies in particular,
have experienced extreme volatility. These broad market and industry
fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock, regardless of
our operating performance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate sensitivity. The primary objective of our investment
activities is to preserve principal while maximizing the income we receive from
our investments without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities
that we have invested in may be subject to market risk. This means that a change
in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to
fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed
interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the prevailing interest rate later
rises, the principal amount of our investment will probably decline. To minimize
this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash in money market funds and cash
equivalents. In general, money market funds and short-term investments are not
subject to market risk because the interest paid on such funds fluctuates with
the prevailing interest rate. As of June 30, 2003, all of our investments mature
in 90 days or less.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity.We consider our exposure to foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal, as we do not have any sales
denominated in foreign currencies. We have not engaged in any hedging
transactions to date.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We restated our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2003 and 2002. For a
description of the restatement, see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A,
we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.

In making this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer considered matters relating to our restatement of previously issued
financial statements, including the processes that were undertaken to ensure
that all material adjustments necessary to correct the previously issued
financial statements were recorded. The restatement reflects the adoption of a
corrected method by which we calculate the quarterly royalty fees due to CBS as
a result of licensing of CBS news content and trademarks. In light of, among
other things, the facts and circumstances relating to the restatement, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the restatement was
not reflective of any material weakness (as defined under standards established
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in our disclosure
controls.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting them to material information required to be included in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting
that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected
or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over
financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On and after April 17, 2001, five shareholder class action lawsuits were
filed against us, certain of our current and former officers and directors, and
a number of investment banks, including some of the underwriters of our initial
public offering. The lawsuits were filed in the Southern District of New York.
The complaints were consolidated into a single action. Plaintiffs allege that
the underwriter defendants agreed to allocate stock in the initial public
offering to certain investors in exchange for excessive and undisclosed
commissions and agreements by those investors to make additional purchases of
stock in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. Plaintiffs allege that the
prospectus for our initial public offering was false and misleading in violation
of the securities laws because it did not disclose these arrangements. The
action against us is being coordinated with approximately three hundred other
nearly identical actions filed against other companies. The parties have
recently reached a settlement where we are dismissed from the lawsuit in
exchange for us assigning to the plaintiffs claims we may have against the
underwriters. In addition, the settlement does not contemplate the payment of
any company funds to the plaintiffs. A committee of our Board of Directors
approved the settlement proposal on June 25, 2003. The settlement is still
subject to approval by the court.

Furthermore, on July 24, 2003, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed
against Pinnacor, Inc., or Pinnacor, certain of Pinnacor's current officers and
directors, and us in the Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuit purports to be a
class action filed on behalf of holders of Pinnacor's common stock as of the
date of the announcement of the proposed acquisition of Pinnacor by us. The
lawsuit alleges that the Pinnacor's directors breached their fiduciary duties in
proceeding with the sale of Pinnacor to us by agreeing to an inadequate proposed
purchase price which fails adequately to compensate Pinnacor shareholders for
the loss of control of the company. The lawsuit alleges that we aided and
abetted these breaches of fiduciary duty in some unspecified way. The lawsuit
seeks an unspecified amount of damages and also prays for an injunction against
consummation of the proposed transaction.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On May 29, 2003, at our 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders
approved the following proposals. Proxies were solicited by us pursuant to
Regulation 14A under the Securities and Exchange act of 1934, as amended. As of
April 14, 2003, the record date for the annual meeting, there were approximately
17,222,722 shares of common stock entitled to vote, of which 16,180,179 shares
of common stock were present in person or by proxy and voted at the meeting.

1. Proposal to elect ten directors, each to serve until the 2004 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or
until his or her earlier resignation or removal.
