CORIO, INC.





NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 1SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





BASIS OF PRESENTATION





The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements have been prepared by Corio, Inc. (Corio or the Company) and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented.
Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.





NET LOSS PER SHARE





Basic net loss per
share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period (excluding shares subject to repurchase). Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net
loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation in loss periods, as their
effect would be antidilutive.





The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock that are not included in the
diluted net loss per share calculation as their effect would have been antidilutive for the periods indicated (in thousands):

2001Preferred stock warrants

900

372Common stock subject to repurchase

4,226

68Common stock options and warrants

13,960

15,619





RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS





In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a staff announcement regarding the income statement characterization of reimbursements received for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred. This indicated that the FASB believes that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses should be characterized as revenue in the income statement, where the service provider is the primary obligor
with respect to purchasing goods and services from third parties, has supplier discretion and assumes credit risk for the transaction. The announcement is effective for financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001. Upon application
of the statement, comparative financial statements for the prior period were reclassified. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, $417,000 in reimbursed application and professional services expenses have been reclassified as reimbursable
revenues and expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded $498,000 of reimbursable revenues and expenses.





NOTE
2ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE





The Company records accounts receivable when amounts are billed in accordance with the contract
terms or as services are performed under non-cancelable contractual services arrangements. Included in accounts receivable at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $1,064,000 and $999,000, respectively, of unbilled receivables under various
application management and professional services contracts.





NOTE 3WARRANTS





On September 27, 2000, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young U.S., L.L.C exercised its right to convert a portion of its initial warrant representing 2,333,333 shares into 960,810 shares of
common stock through a cashless exercise. As these shares outstanding are repurchaseable under certain circumstances, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-18, the fair value of these shares issued will be remeasured each period through May 2003
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Amortization expense of $229,000 and $171,000 was recorded as a sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002

and 2001, respectively related to these shares.





NOTE 4STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION





In connection with stock options granted to
employees to purchase common stock and offset by stock options forfeited, the Company recorded a reduction in deferred charges for stock-based compensation of $2.1 million and none for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Such amounts represent, for employee stock options, the difference at the grant date between the exercise price of each stock option granted and the fair value of the underlying common stock, offset by stock options forfeited. The deferred charges
for employee options are being amortized to expenses using the graded vesting approach through fiscal year 2005. Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation expense was $141,000 and $876,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.





NOTE 5SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION AND SEGMENT REPORTING INFORMATION





The Companys operations have been classified into two operating segments (i) application management services and (ii) professional services.
Corporate expenses, including those for sales and marketing, general and administrative and research and development, are not allocated to operating segments.

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





The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included
in Part I-Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and the audited financial statements and notes thereto and Managements Discussion and Analysis in the Companys 2001 Annual Financial Report to Stockholders.





THIS REPORT ON FORM 10-Q 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, AND THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STATEMENTS REGARDING THE COMPANYS EXPECTATIONS, BELIEFS, INTENTIONS OR FUTURE STRATEGIES THAT ARE SIGNIFIED BY THE WORDS EXPECTS,

OBLIGATION TO UPDATE ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF MANY FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE SET FORTH
UNDER ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS HEREIN. IN EVALUATING THE COMPANYS BUSINESS, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INFORMATION SET FORTH BELOW UNDER THE CAPTION ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT
MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH HEREIN. THE COMPANY CAUTIONS INVESTORS THAT ITS BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.





OVERVIEW





We are a leading enterprise application
service provider, or ASP. We provide to our customers application implementation, integration, management and various upgrade services and related hardware and network infrastructure. We implement, integrate and manage the Corio Intelligent
Enterprise, a suite of enterprise software applications from leading vendors. Following the rapid implementation of software applications, performed for a fixed fee or on a time and material basis, our customers pay a monthly service fee based
largely on the number of applications used and total users.





CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES





The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 describes the
significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies and other special
charges. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results could differ from these estimates.





The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration
of a major customers credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due us could be adversely affected.





We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of the loss or the incurrence of a liability as
well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of loss can
be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.





The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of any asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.




8




---




Since we implement some of our services on a fixed fee basis, if we incur more costs than we
expect in implementations, our profitability will suffer. The Companys process for tracking its progress to completion on such arrangements is through individual detailed project plans and the regular review of labor hours incurred compared to
estimated hours to complete the project. When estimates of costs to complete the project indicate that a loss will be incurred, these losses are recognized immediately.





RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 and 2001





REVENUES





Total revenues
decreased to $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, one customer accounted for 10% of total revenues. For the three months
ended March 31, 2001, one customer accounted for 12% of total revenues.





In the ordinary course of business, for the three
months ended March 31, 2002, we recorded revenue of $1.3 million arising from transactions with four companies with which we have directors in common. At March 31, 2002, accounts receivable included $405,000 arising from such transactions. For the
three months ended March 31, 2001, we recorded revenue of $605,000 arising from transactions with six companies with which we have directors in common. At March 31, 2001, accounts receivable included $315,000 arising from such
transactions.





APPLICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
REVENUES.Revenues from our application management services were $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in application management
services revenues was primarily due to the increased average monthly recurring revenue per contract and approximately $1.1 million in non-recurring revenues from customer contract terminations and approximately $500,000 from customers for one-time
fees for the three months ended March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2002, the Company had a balance of $950,000 for deferred application management services revenues primarily from several customers who prepaid a portion of their contract. These deferred
revenues will be recognized as the related services are provided over the life of the contract.





PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND
OTHER REVENUES.Our professional services and other revenues were $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in professional services
revenues was primarily due to the decreased number of new customer implementations as well as customer use of third party integrators for project implementations. At March 31, 2002, we had a balance of $700,000 for deferred professional services
revenues resulting from customer payments that we required in advance of providing our professional services work.





COSTS AND EXPENSES





APPLICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES EXPENSES.    Application management services expenses, excluding
non-cash stock based compensation of $93,000 and $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The
largest component of the decrease was attributable to the reduction in personnel costs. Other significant components of the decrease included reduction in third party license fees, depreciation and facilities expenses.





PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND OTHER EXPENSES.    Professional services and other expenses, excluding non-cash stock based
compensation of $162,000 and ($114,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The largest component
of the decrease was attributable to the reduction in the number of contracts in process and the reduction in personnel costs. Another significant component of the decrease included reduced costs for subcontractors to perform services under
professional services engagements.





RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.    Research and development expenses,
excluding non-cash stock based compensation of $30,000 and ($233,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2001. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The largest component of the decrease was attributable to the reduction
in personnel costs.




9




---




SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES.Sales and marketing expenses,
excluding non-cash stock based compensation of $357,000 and ($3,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2001. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 49% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses reflects a decline in personnel
costs as well as lower spending on advertising and tradeshows. Sales and marketing expenses also include amortization of costs associated with repurchasable shares issued to Cap Gemini Ernst & Young (CGEY) of $229,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 and amortization of costs associated with warrants issued to a software vendor and CGEY of $(10,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2001.





GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.    General and administrative expenses, excluding non-cash stock based compensation of ($501,000) and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively, were $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 23% for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and 46% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease was mainly attributable to the reduction in personnel costs and the decreased use of outside contractors.





AMORTIZATION OF STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.    Amortization of deferred stock-based compensation was $141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and
$876,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease was mainly attributable to significant forfeitures of stock options in the three months ended March 31, 2002.





INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE.Net interest and other income and expense was $270,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and was $892,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in net interest income was due primarily to lower average cash and investment balances at March 31, 2002 and decreased interest expenses. Included in interest expense in the quarter ended March 31,
2001 is a charge of $740,000 reflecting the unamortized fair value of the warrants that were issued in connection with a loan and security agreement that was paid in full January 2001.





INCOME TAXES.    Since inception, we have incurred net losses for federal and state tax purposes, and anticipate losses for the foreseeable future. We have
therefore not recognized any material tax provision or benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.





LIQUIDITY AND
CAPITAL RESOURCES





As of March 31, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash of
$79 million, a decrease of $7.2 million from December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of 5.2 million cash used by operating activities and $1.9 million repayment of debt.





Net cash used in operating activities was $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, and $15.5 million used in the three months ended March 31, 2001. The net decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in the net loss.





Net cash provided by investing activities was $470,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 compared to $5.6 million used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2001. Investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of equipment of $495,000 and the purchase and sale of short-term investments.





Net cash used by financing activities was $1.4 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Financing activities consisted primarily of the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and exercise of stock options, offset by repayments of loans and capital leases.





We expect that our current cash balances and existing debt arrangements will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Any major change in the nature
of the Companys business, or a significant reduction in demand for its services, the acquisition of products, the need for significant new capital expenditures or the acquisition of an existing business, could change the Companys cash
requirements. To the extent the Company requires additional cash, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.





ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS





In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued a staff announcement regarding the income statement characterization of reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred. This indicated that the FASB believes that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket
expenses should be characterized as revenue in the income statement, where the service provider is the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third parties, has supplier

discretion and assumes credit risk for the transaction. The announcement is effective for financial reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2001. Upon application of the statement, comparative financial statements for prior periods were reclassified. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, $417,000 in reimbursed application and professional services
expenses have been reclassified as reimbursable revenues and expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded $498,000 of reimbursable revenues and expenses.

ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS





RISK FACTORS





Risks Related to Our Business





We have a history of losses and expect that we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flow and may never be profitable.





We have spent significant funds to date to develop and refine our current services, to create and run our operations organization, consisting of
application management and customer support services personnel, to build and run a professional services organization and to develop and run our sales and marketing resources. We have incurred significant operating and net losses and negative cash
flow and have not achieved profitability. As of March 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $220 million.





We expect to
continue to invest significantly in our organization to provide services, enhance current services and expand our service offerings. We also may grow our sales force and spend significant funds to promote our company and our services. We expect to
hire additional people in other areas of our company in order to support our business. In addition, we expect to continue to incur significant fixed and other costs associated with customer acquisitions and with the implementation and configuration
of software applications for customers. As a result of all of these factors, to achieve operating profitability, excluding non-cash charges, we will need to increase our customer base, to decrease our overall costs of providing services, including
the costs of our licensed technology, our operations and the costs of customer acquisitions, and to increase our number of customers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our revenues or increase our operating efficiencies in this
manner. Moreover, because we expect to continue to invest in our business faster than we anticipate growth in our revenues, we expect that we will continue to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future and
we may never be profitable.





The emerging high-growth and middle-market companies that currently comprise a significant portion of our revenue base
may be volatile, which could continue to result in greater than expected customer loss and continued difficulty in collecting fees from some customers, and uncertainty regarding the stability of the economy in general could adversely affect demand
for our services.





A significant portion of our current revenue consists of revenue from middle-market companies, internet,
e-commerce trading exchanges and other technology companies. These companies will be more likely to be acquired, experience financial difficulties or cease operations than other companies that are larger and better established or are in more stable
industries. In particular, these companies may experience difficulties in raising capital needed to fund their operations when required or at all. In the past we have terminated our agreements with a substantial number of customers who were unable
or unwilling to continue their financial obligations to us and we expect to terminate additional customers in the future. As a result, our client base will likely be more volatile than those companies whose customers consist of more mature and
established entities. If we continue to experience greater than expected customer loss or an inability to collect fees from our customers in a timely manner because of this volatility, our operating results could be seriously harmed. In addition,
uncertainty regarding the stability of the economy in general could diminish and delay demand for our services. Also, as we move up-market and away from high-growth and middle market companies, revenue from termination fees resulting from
high-growth and middle market companies may diminish.





Our limited history of offering ASP services to customers and the fact that we operate in a new
industry for application services expose us to risks that affect our ability to execute our business model.





We have offered
our services for a relatively short period of time, and our industry is relatively new. Prior to September 1998, our predecessor company, DSCI, carried on a different business. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history as a provider of ASP
services. We have a limited number of customers and have implemented our services a limited number of times. Because our business model is new, it continues to evolve. In the future, we may revise our pricing model for different services, and our
model for our customers to gain access to third-party software applications and other third-party services is evolving. Changes in our anticipated business and financial model could materially impact our ability to become profitable in the future.
Additionally, especially as we try to move up-market to larger, more established customers, the demand for our services is uncertain and the sales process may take longer than with smaller potential customers. An investor in our common stock must
consider these facts as well as the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as the market for
Internet-based software application services. Some of the risks and difficulties relate to our potential inability to:




12




---




| |  |  | acquire and retain new customers, particularly larger, more established companies required to create a stable revenue and customer base;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | reduce costs associated with the delivery of services to our customers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | expand and maintain our pipeline of sales prospects in order to promote greater predictability in our period-to-period sales levels;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | acquire or license third-party software applications at a reasonable cost or at a structure beneficial to us;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | complete successful implementations of our software applications in a manner that is repeatable and scalable;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | integrate successfully software applications we manage with each other and with our customers existing systems;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | continue to offer new services that complement our existing offerings;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | increase awareness of our brand; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------




| |  |  | maintain our current, and develop new, strategic relationships.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------




We cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or difficulties. If we fail to address any of these risks or difficulties adequately, we will likely be unable to execute our business model.





Because we plan to expend significant sums to grow our business, we may be unable to adjust spending to offset any future revenue shortfall, which
could cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate and our stock price to fall.





Although we are monitoring our
spending, in order to promote future growth, we expect we may continue to expend significant sums in our business, in our operations, professional services, research and development, and sales and marketing organizations. Because the expenses
associated with these activities are relatively fixed in the short-term, we may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected shortfall in revenue growth or any decrease in revenue levels. As our quarterly results fluctuate,
they may fall short of the expectations of public market analysts or investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock may fall.





Our quarterly
operating results may fluctuate due to the nature of our ASP business and other factors affecting our revenues and costs, which could cause our stock price to fall.





Our financial results will vary over time as our ASP business matures. For each individual customer, we typically recognize professional services revenues associated with the
implementation of our applications during the early months of our engagement. We then recognize monthly fees from the customer, consisting primarily of application management services revenues, over the balance of the contractual relationship. As a
result, for some customers we have a high proportion of up-front professional services revenues associated with implementation. We expect that our financial results will continue to vary over time as monthly fees increase as a portion of total
revenue. Third parties also provide professional services for some of our application management services customers, and whether professional services will be provided by us or by third parties may be difficult to predict. Changes in our revenue mix
from professional services revenues to application management services revenues could be difficult to predict and could cause our quarterly results and stock price to fluctuate.





Other important factors that could cause our quarterly results and stock price to fluctuate materially include:





| |  |  | the timing of obtaining, implementing and establishing connectivity with individual customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the loss of or change in our relationship with important customers and our ability or inability to collect termination fees from terminating customers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | any decrease in termination fees paid in a quarter versus other quarters;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | the timing and magnitude of expanding our operations and of other capital expenditures;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | costs, including license fees, relating to the software applications we use;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | potential changes in the accounting standards associated with accounting for stock or warrant issuances and for revenue recognition; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



13




---




| |  |  | accounting charges associated with the warrants currently held by third parties, as well as potential accounting charges we may incur in the future relating to stock or warrant
issuances to future parties.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Our financial results could vary over time as our business model evolves, which could cause our stock
price to fall.





Our financial results could vary over time as our business and financial model evolves. For example, we
historically included a broad range of customer support in our fixed monthly fees but now bill certain customers for support services in excess of specified limits in certain circumstances. As another example, we are increasingly unbundling from our
fixed monthly fee the cost of software licenses and requiring our customers to obtain licenses to applications directly from third-party software providers. Any such changes to our business or financial model would likely cause financial results to
vary, which could cause our stock price to fall.





In this regard, from time to time we negotiate with some of our major
third-party software vendors to modify the pricing and other terms currently in place with these vendors. We may agree to restructure our current arrangements with some of our third-party software providers. For example for future customers of our
PeopleSoft and Siebel services, our customers must obtain licenses for software directly from the independent software vendor. We currently plan to eventually migrate all customers from a model whereby some rent enterprise application licenses from
us to a model whereby they all purchase the licenses directly from independent software vendors. Such new pricing structures or business models may not in fact be more beneficial to us and may ultimately hinder our ability to become profitable.





We depend on software vendors to supply us with the software necessary to provide our services, and the loss of access to this software or any
decline or obsolescence in its functionality could cause our customers businesses to suffer, which, in turn, could harm our revenues and increase our costs.





We offer our customers software application services for applications from third parties such as PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP and Siebel Systems. We have agreements in place with certain of
our third-party software vendors, and our agreements with third-party software vendors are non-exclusive, are for limited terms ranging from two to five years and typically permit termination in the event of our breach of the agreements.
Additionally, as we move more to host-only relationships, whereby our customers must obtain licenses directly from independent software vendors such as PeopleSoft and Siebel, we rely on the independent software vendors to consent to
allow us to access the software to provide our services. If we lose the right to use the software that we license from third-parties, if the cost of licensing the software applications becomes prohibitive, or if we change the vendors from whom we
currently license software, our customers businesses could be significantly disrupted, which could harm our revenues and increase our costs. Our financial results may also be harmed if the cost structure we negotiate with the third-party
software vendors change in a manner that is less beneficial to us compared to our current cost structure with software vendors. We cannot assure you that our services will continue to support the software of our third-party vendors, or that we will
be able to adapt our own offerings to changes in third-party software. In addition, if our vendors were to experience financial or other difficulties, it could adversely affect the availability of their software. It is also possible that
improvements in software by third-parties with whom we have no relationship could render the software we offer to our customers less compelling or obsolete.





Our licenses for the third-party software we use to deliver our services contain limits on our ability to use them that could impair our growth and operating results.





The licenses we have for the third-party software we use to deliver our services typically restrict our ability to sell our services in specified countries and to customers with revenue
above or below specified revenue levels. For example, some of our licenses restrict us from selling our services to customers with annual revenues greater than various levels such as $1 billion, and several of our licenses restrict our ability to
sell to customers outside of North America. In addition, some of these licenses contain limits on our ability to sell our services to certain types of customers. Our operating results and ability to grow could be harmed to the extent these licenses
prohibit us from selling our services to customers to which we would otherwise sell our services, or in countries in which we would otherwise sell our services.





Poor performance of the software we deliver to our customers or disruptions in our business-critical services could harm our reputation, delay market acceptance of our services and subject us to liabilities.





Our customers depend on our hosted software applications for their critical systems and business functions, including enterprise resource planning,
customer relationship management, e-commerce and business intelligence. Our customers businesses could be seriously harmed if the applications we provide to them work improperly or fail, even if only temporarily. Accordingly, if the software
that we license from our vendors or our implementation of such software performs poorly, experiences errors or defects or is otherwise unreliable, our customers would likely be extremely dissatisfied, which could cause our reputation to suffer,
force us to divert research and development and management resources, cause a loss of revenues or hinder market acceptance of our services.




14




---

It is also possible that any customer disruptions resulting from failures in our applications could force us to refund all or a portion of the fees customers have paid for our services or result
in other significant liabilities to our customers.





We may fail to implement, host or manage enterprise software applications successfully due to the
complicated nature of the services we provide and our limited experience in providing these services, which would harm our reputation and sales.





Implementations of integrated enterprise software applications can be complicated and we have limited experience to date completing implementations of integrated software applications for our customers. We cannot
assure you that we will develop the requisite expertise or that we can convince customers that we have the expertise required to implement, host or manage these applications. In addition, our customers to date have primarily implemented PeopleSoft
applications and we have limited experience installing some of the other applications we offer. Our reputation will be harmed and sales of our services would decline significantly if we are not able to complete successfully repeated implementations
of our enterprise software applications, including those applications with which we have limited or no implementation, hosting or management experience to date.





Any inability to expand sufficiently our enterprise software implementation and systems consulting capabilities could harm our ability to service our customers effectively and could hinder our growth.





A failure to maintain and expand relationships with third-party systems integrators that we use to implement our services could harm our ability to
service our customers effectively. As we seek to provide applications management services for larger, more established customers, they may frequently utilize the systems integration and consulting services of independent, third-party systems
integrators rather than Corio. In such cases, we may receive only modest revenue for implementation and integration services if any. In addition, we frequently contract with our customers for implementation on a fixed price basis. As a result,
unexpected complexities in implementing software applications for our customers could result in unexpected losses for us or increases in losses. Our business and reputation could also be seriously harmed if third party systems integrators were
unable to perform their services for our customers in a manner that meets customer expectations.





Increased demand for customization of our services
beyond what we currently provide or anticipate could reduce the scalability and profitability of our business.





Companies
may prefer more customized applications and services than our business model contemplates. Most of our customers have required some level of customization of our services, and our customers may continue to require customization in the future,
perhaps to a greater extent than we currently provide or anticipate. If we do not offer the desired customization, there may be less demand for our services. Conversely, providing customization of our services increases our costs and reduces our
flexibility to provide similar services to many customers. Accordingly, increased demand for customization of our services could reduce the scalability and profitability of our business and increase risks associated with completing software
upgrades.





Growth could strain our operations and require us to incur costs to upgrade our infrastructure and expand our personnel.





If our customer base grows significantly, we cannot be sure that we will successfully manage our growth. In order to manage our growth
successfully, we must:





| |  |  | expand our management team, financial and information systems and controls;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | maintain a high level of customer service and support;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | expand our implementation and consulting resources internally and with third-parties; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | expand, train, manage and retain our employee base effectively.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------




If our customer base grows significantly, there will be additional demands on our customer service support, research and development, sales and marketing and administrative resources as we try to increase our service
offerings and expand our target markets. The strains imposed by these demands are magnified by our limited operating history. Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to, new or enhanced systems and controls could harm our
ability to accurately forecast demand for our services, manage our billing of customers, manage our sales cycle and implementation services and record and report management and financial information on a timely and accurate basis. Moreover, any
inability to expand our service offerings and employee base commensurate with any increase in the demand for our services could cause our revenues to decline.




15




---




We will need to perform software upgrades for our customers, and any inability to successfully perform these upgrades
could cause interruptions or errors in our customers software applications, which could increase our costs and delay market acceptance of our services.





Our software vendors from time to time will upgrade their software applications, and at such time we will be required to implement these software upgrades for certain of our customers.
Implementing software upgrades can be a complicated and costly process, particularly implementation of an upgrade simultaneously across multiple customers, and we have not performed many software upgrades to date. Accordingly, we cannot assure you
that we will be able to perform these upgrades successfully or at a reasonable cost. We may also experience difficulty implementing software upgrades to a large number of customers, particularly if different software vendors release upgrades
simultaneously. If we are unable to perform software upgrades successfully and to a large customer base, our customers could be subject to increased risk of interruptions or errors in their business-critical software, our reputation and business
would likely suffer and the market would likely delay the acceptance of our services. It will also be difficult for us to predict the timing of these upgrades, the cost to us of these upgrades and the additional resources that we may need to
implement these upgrades. Additionally, as we continue to evolve our business model to charge customers for the cost of software upgrades, we may lose prospective customers who choose not to pay for these upgrades. Therefore, any such upgrades could
strain our development and engineering resources, require significant unexpected expenses and cause us to miss our financial forecasts or those of securities analysts. Any of these problems could impair our customer relations and our reputation and
subject us to litigation.





Security risks and concerns may decrease the demand for our services, and security breaches with respect to our systems may
disrupt our services or make them inaccessible to our customers.





Our services involve the storage and transmission of
business-critical, proprietary information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information, litigation and possible liability. Anyone who circumvents our security measures could misappropriate business-critical
proprietary information or cause interruptions in our services or operations. In addition, computer hackers could introduce computer viruses into our systems or those of our customers, which could disrupt our services or make them
inaccessible to customers. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches. Our security measures may be inadequate to prevent
security breaches, and our business and reputation would be harmed if we do not prevent them.





If we are unable to adapt our services to rapidly
changing technology, our reputation and our ability to grow our revenues could be harmed.





The markets we serve are
characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, emerging competition and the frequent introduction of new services, software and other products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enhance existing or develop new
services that meet changing customer needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. For example, as software application architecture changes, the software for which we provide services could become out of date or obsolete and we may be forced to
upgrade or replace our technology. For example, this is of particular concern with regard to our enterprise resource planning, or ERP, software, including PeopleSoft, Oracle and SAP. The architecture of the software we currently use for ERP
applications is not designed to be hosted. We believe that future software will be written to be hosted. Our existing software application providers may face competition from new vendors who have written hostable software. It may be difficult for us
to acquire hostable ERP software from these new vendors and for our software application providers to develop this software quickly or successfully. In either event, the services we offer would likely become less attractive to our customers, which
could cause us to lose revenue and market share. Performing upgrades may also require substantial time and expense and even then we cannot be sure that we will succeed in adapting our business to these technological developments. Prolonged delays
resulting from our efforts to adapt to rapid technological change, even if ultimately successful, could harm our reputation within our industry and our ability to grow our revenues.





We may incur substantial accounting charges as a result of repurchasable common stock held by Cap Gemini Ernst & Young which may result in significant operating losses over the next several years.





On September 27, 2000, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young U.S., L.L.C (CGEY), exercised its right to convert a portion of its
initial warrant representing 2,333,333 shares into 960,810 shares of common stock through a cashless exercise. Even if we are able to generate revenues that exceed our operating costs, we may incur substantial accounting charges through May 2003
associated with these repurchasable shares held by CGEY. These shares and other expenses related to our strategic alliance with CGEY may result in expenses and operating losses for us over the term of our agreement with them. Because of the
accounting policies applicable to these shares, any charges associated with these shares will be measured and recorded each fiscal quarter in part using the trading price of our common stock. Significant increases in our stock price could result in
significant non-cash accounting charges.





Our application management agreements are typically long-term, fixed-price contracts, which may hinder our
ability to become profitable.





We enter into agreements with our customers to provide application management services for
long periods, typically three to five years. Most of these agreements are in the form of fixed-price contracts that do not provide for price adjustments to reflect any cost overruns associated with providing our services, such as potential increases
in the costs of software applications we




16




---




license from third parties, the costs of upgrades or inflation. As a result, unless we are able to provide our services
in a more cost-effective manner than we do today and unless the number of users at individual customers increases to provide us higher revenue levels per customer, we may never achieve profitability for a particular customer. In addition, customers
may not be able to pay us or may cancel our services before becoming profitable for us.





Our long-term, fixed-price application management contracts
may hinder our ability to evolve our business and to ultimately become profitable.





Our business is new and, accordingly,
our business and financial models may evolve as the understanding of our business evolves. We may be unable to adjust our pricing or cost structure with respect to our current customers in response to changes we make in our business or financial
model due to the long-term, fixed price nature of the application management agreements we have with our customers. This potential inflexibility may result in our inability to become profitable as rapidly as we would like or at all.





If we do not meet the service levels provided for in our contracts with customers, we may be required to give our customers credit for free service, and our
customers may be entitled to cancel their service contracts, which could adversely affect our reputation and hinder our ability to grow our revenues.





Our application management services contracts contain service level guarantees that obligate us to provide our applications at a guaranteed level of performance. If we fail to meet those service levels, we may be
contractually obligated to provide our customers credit for free service. If we were to continue to fail to meet these service levels, our customers would then have the right to cancel their contracts with us. These credits or cancellations could
harm our reputation and hinder our ability to grow our revenues.





If we cannot obtain additional software applications that meet the evolving business
needs of our customers, the market for our services will not grow and may decline, and sales of our services will suffer.





Part of our strategy may be to expand our services by offering our customers additional software applications that address their evolving business needs. We cannot be sure, however, that we will be able to license these applications at a
commercially viable cost or at all or that we will be able to cost-effectively develop the applications in-house. If we cannot obtain these applications on a cost-effective basis and, as a result, cannot expand the range of our service offerings,
the market for our services will not grow and may decline, and sales of our services will suffer.





We have many competitors and expect new competitors
to enter our market, which could adversely affect our ability to increase revenues, maintain our margins or grow our market share.





The market for our services is extremely competitive and the barriers to entry in our market are relatively low. We currently have no patented technology that would bar competitors from our market.





Our current and potential competitors primarily include:





| |  |  | application service providers and business process outsourcers, such as EDS, Hewlett Packard, PeopleSoft, IBM Global Services, Surebridge and USinternetworking;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | systems integrators, such as Accenture, Electronic Data Systems and PricewaterhouseCoopers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | internet service providers and web hosting companies, such as Cable & Wireless, DIGEX, Genuity, PSINet and Worldcom;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | software vendors, such as Commerce One, Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP and Siebel Systems; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | major technology providers, such as Intel and Microsoft.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------




Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, customer support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition
and more established relationships in the industry than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully in the future. Our competitors may be able to:





| |  |  | develop and expand their network infrastructures and service offerings more quickly;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | adapt to new or emerging technologies and changing customer needs faster;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



17




---




| |  |  | take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | negotiate more favorable agreements with software application vendors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | address customers service-related issues more effectively.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------




Some of our competitors may also be able to provide customers with additional benefits at lower overall costs or to reduce their application service charges aggressively in an effort to increase market share. We
cannot be sure that we will be able to match cost reductions by our competitors.





Our competitors and other companies may form
strategic relationships with each other to compete with us. These relationships may take the form of strategic investments, joint-marketing agreements, licenses or other contractual arrangements, which arrangements may increase our competitors
ability to address customer needs with their product and service offerings. We believe that there is likely to be consolidation in our markets, which could lead to increased price competition and other forms of competition that could cause our
business to suffer.





We may be unable to deliver effectively our services if our data center management services providers, computer hardware
suppliers or software providers do not provide us with key components of our technology infrastructure in a timely, consistent and cost-effective manner.





We depend on third-parties, such as XO Communications and (i)Structure, for our data center management services and for key components of our network infrastructure. Our contracts with these data center and network
infrastructure providers are for a fixed term and for a specified amount of services, which may be insufficient to meet our needs. Additionally, as has been reported in the press recently, XO Communications has been negotiating a restructuring of
its debt and may file for bankruptcy. The services we provide could be materially disrupted by any disruption in the services provided by XO Communications to us. We depend on suppliers such as Sun Microsystems for our computer hardware and
WebMethods and Netegrity and others for our software technology platform. If any of these relationships fail to provide needed products or services in a timely and consistent manner or at an acceptable cost, we may be unable to deliver effectively
our services to customers. Some of the key components of our infrastructure are available only from sole or limited sources in the quantity and quality we demand. We do not carry significant inventories of those components that we obtain from
third-parties and have no guaranteed supply arrangements for some of these components. Additionally, some of our service and product providers have recently experienced financial difficulty, and financial problems they experience may cause
disruptions in our service, loss of customers and expose us to additional costs.





System failures caused by us or factors outside of our control could
cause us to lose our customers and subject us to liability and increased expenses.





Our operations depend upon our ability
and the ability of our third-party data center and network services providers to maintain and protect the computer systems on which we host our customers applications. Any loss of customer data or an inability to provide service for a period
of time could cause us to lose our customers and subject us to significant potential liabilities. We currently use two data centers to house our hardware and to provide network services, but each of our customers is serviced at a single site. While
our data center and network providers maintain back-up systems and we have disaster recovery processes, a natural disaster or similar disruption at their site could impair our ability to provide our services to our customers until the site is
repaired or back-up systems become operable. Some of our data center providers, as well as our corporate headquarters, are located in Northern California, near known earthquake fault zones. Our systems and the data centers are also vulnerable to
damage from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events.





If we are unable to retain our executive officers and key
personnel, or to integrate new members of our senior management that are critical to our business, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our objectives.





Our future success depends upon the continued service of our executive officers and other key personnel. None of our executive officers or key employees is bound by an employment
agreement for any specific term. If we lose the services of one or more of our executive officers or key employees, or if one or more of them decides to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with us, we may not be able to
successfully manage our business or achieve our business objectives.





If we are unable to hire and retain sufficient sales, marketing, technical and
operations personnel, we may be unable to grow our business or to service our customers effectively.





In the future, we may
expand our sales operations and marketing efforts, both domestically and internationally, in order to try to increase market awareness and sales of our services. We may also need to increase our technical staff in order to service customers and
perform research and development. There is competition for qualified sales, marketing, technical and operations




18




---




personnel as these personnel are in limited supply and in high demand, particularly in Northern California, and we might
not be able to hire and retain sufficient numbers of these personnel to grow our business or to service our customers effectively. Also, recent reductions in our workforce, although designed to not affect service levels and demand generation, may
adversely affect these areas of our business.





Any future acquisitions of businesses, technologies or services may result in distraction of our
management and disruptions to our business.





We expect that consolidation in our industry may occur. We may acquire or make
investments in complementary businesses, technologies or services if appropriate opportunities arise. From time to time we may engage in discussions and negotiations with companies regarding acquiring or investing in their businesses, technologies
or services. We cannot make assurances that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates, or that if we do identify suitable candidates, we will be able to make the acquisitions or investments on commercially acceptable
terms or at all. If we acquire or invest in another company, we could have difficulty assimilating that companys personnel, operations, technology or products and service offerings. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired company may
decide not to work for us. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, we may incur indebtedness or issue equity
securities to pay for any future acquisitions. The issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could be dilutive to our existing stockholders.





Any inability to protect our intellectual property rights could reduce our competitive advantage, divert management attention, require additional intellectual property to be developed or cause us to incur expenses to enforce our rights.





We cannot assure you that we will be able to protect or maintain our intellectual property from infringement or
misappropriation from others. In particular, our business would be harmed if we were unable to protect our technology platform and processes, our trademarks or our other software and confidential and proprietary information. Agreements on which we
rely to protect our intellectual property rights and the trade secret, copyright and other laws on which we rely may only afford limited protection to these rights. In addition, we currently have no patents, which limits significantly our ability to
protect our proprietary rights in the event they are infringed. Any infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property could reduce our competitive advantage, divert management attention, require us to develop technology and cause us to
incur expenses to enforce our rights.





Any infringement claims involving our technology or the applications we offer or other lawsuits could cost a
significant amount of money and could divert managements attention away from our business.





If the number of software
applications used by us and our customers increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps and integrates, software industry participants may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. In addition, we have agreed, and may
agree in the future, to indemnify some of our customers against claims that our services infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Someone may claim that our technology or the applications or services we offer infringes their
proprietary rights. Someone may also claim that we do not have adequate licenses to perform the services we offer. Any infringement claims, even if without merit, can be time consuming and expensive to defend, may divert managements attention
and resources and could cause service delays. Such claims could require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements. If successful, a claim of infringement against us and our inability to modify or license the infringed or similar
technology could adversely affect our business. In addition, if our software vendors cease to offer their software applications to us because of infringement claims against us or them, we would be forced to license different software applications to
our customers that may not meet our customers needs. This could result in a loss of customers and a decline in our revenues. Also, a securities class action lawsuit against Corio is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York. This lawsuit may be time consuming and expensive to defend and may divert managements attention.





Risks
Related to our Industry





We cannot assure you that the ASP market will become viable or grow at a rate that will allow us to achieve
profitability.





Growth in demand for and acceptance of ASPs and their hosted business software applications is highly
uncertain. This is especially true given the current uncertain macroeconomic environment. Companies in the ASP industry, such as Pandesic and Red Gorilla, have ceased operations. Other companies in the ASP industry, such as USinternetworking, have
filed for bankruptcy. We cannot assure you that this market will become viable or, if it becomes viable, that it will grow at a rate that will allow us to achieve profitability. The market for Internet services, private network management solutions
and widely distributed Internet-enabled application software has only recently begun to develop and is now evolving rapidly. We believe that many of our potential customers are not fully aware of the benefits of hosted and managed solutions. It is
possible that these solutions will never achieve market acceptance. It is also possible that potential customers will decide that the risks associated with hiring ASPs in general (or smaller ASPs in particular) to implement and manage their critical
systems and business functions outweigh the efficiencies associated with the products and services we provide. Concerns over transaction security and user privacy, inadequate

network infrastructure for the entire Internet and inconsistent performance of the Internet and the financial viability
of ASPs could also limit the growth of Internet-based business software solutions.





Increasing government regulation could limit the market for, or
impose sales and other taxes on the sale of, our services, which could cause our revenues to decline or increase our expenses.





We offer our suite of software applications over networks, which subjects us to government regulation concerning Internet usage and electronic commerce. We expect that state, federal and foreign agencies will adopt and modify regulations
covering issues such as user and data privacy, pricing, taxation of goods and services provided over the Internet, the use and export of cryptographic technology and content and quality of products and services. It is possible that legislation could
expose us and other companies involved in electronic commerce to liability or require permits or other authorizations, which could limit the growth of electronic commerce generally. Legislation could dampen the growth in Internet usage and decrease
its acceptance as a communications and commercial medium. If enacted, these laws, rules or regulations could limit the market for or make it more difficult to offer our services.





The taxation of commerce activities in connection with the Internet has not been established, may change in the future and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. One or more states
or countries may seek to impose sales or other taxes on companies that engage in or facilitate electronic commerce. A number of proposals have been made at the local, state, national and international levels that would impose additional taxes on the
sale of products and services over the Internet. These proposals, if adopted, could substantially impair the growth of electronic commerce and could subject us to taxation relating to our use of the Internet as a means of delivering our services.
Moreover, if any state or country were to assert successfully that we should collect sales or other taxes on the exchange of products and services over the Internet, our customers may refuse to continue using our services, which could cause our
revenues to decline significantly.





As we expand our business outside the United States we will be subject to unfavorable international conditions and
regulations that could cause our international business to fail.





We have customers with international operations and may
expand our business outside of the United States in the future. Conducting our business in international markets is subject to complexities associated with foreign operations and to additional risks related to our business, including the possibility
that the scarcity of cost-effective, high-speed Internet access and the slow pace of future improvements in access to the Internet will limit the market for hosting software applications over the Internet or adversely affect the delivery of our
services to customers. Additionally, some countries outside of the United States do not permit hosting applications on behalf of companies. The European Union has adopted a privacy directive that regulates the collection and use of information. This
directive may inhibit or prohibit the collection and sharing of personal information in ways that could harm us. The globalization of Internet commerce may be harmed by these and similar regulations since the European Union privacy directive
prohibits transmission of personal information outside the European Union unless the receiving country has enacted individual privacy protection laws at least as strong as those enacted by the European Union privacy directive.





General political and economic conditions may reduce our revenues and harm our business.





Because of the economic downturn and political environment, many industries are delaying or reducing technology expenditures. If this trend continues, we may fall short of our revenue
expectations, and ultimately may fail to achieve profitability. Moreover, weakness in the technology sector as a whole could negatively affect the cash flow of our customers, which in turn could impact their ability to meet their obligations to us
as they come due. This could increase our credit risk exposure and harm our overall financial position.





In addition, global and
domestic political conditions, terrorist acts, or acts of war (wherever located in the world) may damage or disrupt global and domestic markets and negatively affect our business, employees, customers, and suppliers, which in turn could have an
adverse effect on our operations and our overall profitability.





Market prices of Internet and technology companies have been highly volatile, and the
market for our stock may be volatile as well.





The stock market has experienced significant price and trading volume
fluctuations, and the market prices of technology companies generally, and Internet-related software companies particularly, have been extremely volatile. The market prices of technology companies generally, and technology service companies in
particular have been subject to significant downward pressure. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public companys securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company.
Such litigation could result in substantial costs to us and a diversion of our managements attention and resources.

Many significant corporate actions are controlled by our officers, directors and affiliated entities regardless of
the opposition of other investors or the desire of other investors to pursue an alternative cause of action.





Our executive
officers, directors and entities affiliated with them, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 44% of our common stock. If they were to act together, these stockholders would be able to exercise control over most matters requiring approval
by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company, which could cause our
stock price to drop. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by the other investors, including those who purchased shares in the initial public offering.





Delaware law and our charter, bylaws and contracts provide anti-takeover defenses that could delay or prevent an acquisition of us, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.





Provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and contracts could delay, defer or prevent an acquisition or change of
control of us, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, and this could adversely affect the price of our common stock.





| |  |  | Our bylaws limit the ability of our stockholders to call a special meeting and do not permit stockholders to act by written consent.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits us from engaging in a business combination
with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Several members of our senior management have contracts with us that provide for the acceleration of the vesting of their stock options upon termination following a change of
control.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Our certificate of incorporation permits our board to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. In addition to delaying or preventing an acquisition, the
issuance of a substantial number of shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the price of the common stock.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




| |  |  | Additional provisions of our certificate of incorporation that may serve to delay or prevent an acquisition include a staggered board, advance notice procedures for
stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors, authorization of our board to alter the number of directors without stockholder approval and lack of cumulative voting.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT FINANCIAL MARKET RISK





We develop and market our services primarily in the United States. As we expand our operations outside of the United States, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency rates or weak economic
conditions in foreign markets. Because all of our revenues are currently denominated in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the dollar could make our services less competitive in international markets.





Interest Rate Risk





Our exposure to market rate
risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining an investment portfolio primarily
consisting of debt instruments with high credit quality and relatively short average maturities in accordance with the Companys investment policy. The policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Notwithstanding our
efforts to manage interest rate risks, there can be no assurances that we will be adequately protected against the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations.





PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION





ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS





In November 2001, a securities class action lawsuit
was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Corio, certain of its officers and certain of the underwriters involved in Corios initial public offering. This is one of approximately 300 similar lawsuits in
a coordinated proceeding sometimes referred to as IPO allocation lawsuits or laddering lawsuits. The plaintiffs generally allege that the investors in exchange for excessive brokerage commissions and/or agreements for those
investors to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at predetermined higher prices. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages.

ITEM 2.    CHANGE IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS





On July 20, 2000, the Company
effected an initial public offering (the IPO), of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock at $14.00 per share, pursuant to a registration statement (No. 333-35402) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20,
2000. The IPO has been terminated, and all shares have been sold. The managing underwriters for the IPO were Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch & Co., Robertson Stephens and Epoch Partners. Aggregate proceeds from the IPO were $140,000,000.





The Company incurred the following expenses in connection with the IPO: underwriters discounts and commissions of
$9,800,000 and approximately $2,000,000 in other expenses, for a total expense of $11,800,000. No payments constituted direct or indirect payments to directors, officers or general partners of the Company or their associates, to persons owning 10%
or more of any class of equity securities of the Company, or to any affiliates of the Company.





After deducting expenses of the
IPO, the net offering proceeds to the Company were approximately $128,200,000. From July 20, 2000, the effective date of the Registration Statement, to March 31, 2002, the ending date of the reporting period, the approximate amount of net offering
proceeds used were $13.0 million to repay outstanding debt and approximately $62.1 million to fund operations. The remaining net proceeds are invested in short-term financial instruments.
