SAVVIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(tabular dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

NOTE 1DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

SAVVIS, Inc. (the Company) is a global information
technology (IT) services company delivering integrated hosting, network, digital content services, industry solutions, security, and professional services to businesses around the world and to various segments of the U.S. federal government.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, under the
rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005. Such
audited financial statements are included in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 25, 2006. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys
audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the July 25, 2006 Form 8-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation
of the results for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions. Estimates used in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements include, among others, accruals for commercial disputes and billing errors by
vendors, allowance for credits and uncollectibles, valuation of the Subordinated Notes and warrants, valuation of the fair value of certain liabilities assumed in an acquisition in 2004, and the valuation of long-lived assets. In addition, certain
amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Credits and Uncollectibles

The Company derives the majority of its revenue from recurring revenue streams, consisting primarily of hosting, managed IP VPN, other network services, and digital content services. Revenue is recognized only when
the related service has been provided, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Installation fees, although generally billed upon installation, are deferred and recognized
ratably over the estimated average life of a customer contract.

The Company occasionally guarantees certain service levels in its individual customer
contracts. To the extent that such service levels are not achieved, the Company estimates the amount of credits to be issued, based on historical credits provided and known disputes, and records a reduction to revenue, with a corresponding increase
in the allowance for credits and uncollectibles.

The Company assesses collectibility based on a number of factors, including customer payment history and
creditworthiness. The Company generally does not request collateral from its customers although in certain cases it may obtain a security deposit. When evaluating revenue recognition and the adequacy of allowances, the Company maintains an allowance
for uncollectibles and specifically analyzes accounts receivable, current economic conditions and trends, historical bad debt write-offs, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and changes in customer payment terms. Delinquent account
balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

Cost of Revenue

Invoices from communications service providers may exceed amounts the Company believes it owes. The Companys practice is to identify these variances and engage in
discussions with the vendors to resolve disputes. Accruals are maintained for the best estimate of the amount that will ultimately be paid. Other operational expenses include rental costs, utilities, costs for hosting space, as well as salaries and
related benefits for engineering, service delivery and provisioning, customer service, and operations personnel. Maintenance and operations costs for indefeasible rights of use (IRUs) are also reflected in cost of revenue.

Share-Based Payments

As of September 30, 2006, the Company had two share-based compensation plans  the Amended and Restated 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2003 Plan) and the 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the 1999 Plan), collectively
referred to herein as the Plans. The Plans provide for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units, dividend equivalent rights and cash awards. Any of these awards may be granted as
incentives to reward and encourage individual contributions to the Company. On July 6, 2006, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors increased the shares authorized under the Plans by 3 million shares, subject to stockholder
approval. As of September 30, 2006 and with such increase, the Plans had 12.1 million shares authorized for grants of share-based instruments. Stock options generally expire 10 years from the date of the grant and have graded vesting over
four years. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors have graded vesting over three years. Restricted stock units granted to certain employees have included performance features and graded vesting expected over periods up to four
years. Restricted preferred units granted to certain executives have graded vesting over four years.

The Company recognizes compensation expense over the
vesting period for share-based awards. The Company recognized total non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $7.9 million and $12.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.8
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively (see Note 10). The majority of these amounts were reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations, with the remainder included in cost of revenue. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $112.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation that is expected to be ultimately recognized,
which includes 1.1 million restricted stock units, approximately 0.1 million shares of restricted common stock, 3.9 million stock options that have a weighted average exercise price of $28.07 per share, and restricted preferred units
for 1.3 million common shares that have a weighted average exercise price of $8.37 per common share. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based awards under the Plans using the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As such,
the Company only recognized compensation cost for share-based awards to the extent such awards were issued with an exercise price below the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006,
the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under such method, compensation cost recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated for the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1,
2006, the Companys net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $4.8 million and $5.4 million higher, respectively, and basic and diluted loss per common share was $0.09 and $0.21 higher, respectively, than if the
Company had continued to account for share-based awards under APB 25 and follow the disclosure provisions only of SFAS 123. Prior to and after the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company has not realized the tax benefits of deductions resulting from
the exercise of share-based awards due to the Companys history of net operating losses.

The following table presents the effect on net loss and net
loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock options granted under the Companys share-based compensation plans. For
purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the options vesting periods.

The assumptions utilized in the determination of fair value for stock options and restricted preferred units in 2006,
based on current and historical experience, were as follows: expected volatility of 88.7% to 99.9%; risk-free interest rates of 4.7% to 5.1%; expected option lives of 3 to 3.5 years, dividend yield of 0%, and contractual option lives of 10 years.
Assumptions utilized in 2005, as applicable, were as follows: expected volatility of 107.3%; risk-free interest rate of 3.8%; expected option lives of 4.0 years; dividend yield of 0%; and contractual option lives of 10 years.

In addition, in December 2005, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the compensation committee of the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of certain
unvested and out-of-the-money stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $11.25 per share previously awarded to employees, including certain executive officers and non-employee directors, under the Plans. The
acceleration of vesting was effective for stock options outstanding as of December 13, 2005. Options to purchase approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock, including approximately 0.4 million options held by executive officers
and approximately 0.1 million options held by non-employee directors, were subject to the acceleration, which resulted in 92% of the Companys outstanding options being vested. The purpose of the acceleration was to enable the Company to
minimize the amount of compensation expense recognized in association with these options in its consolidated statements of operations upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). Management believes that the aggregate future expense that was eliminated as a result
of the acceleration of the vesting of these options was approximately $11.2 million. Management also believed that because the options that were accelerated had exercise prices in excess of the market value of the Companys common stock on the
date of acceleration, the options had limited economic value and were not fully achieving their original objective of incentive compensation and employee retention.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, which provides for the
establishment of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes, applying the enacted statutory
tax rates in effect for the years in which differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation
allowance on tax loss carryforwards and other potential tax benefits according to SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, because the future realization of the tax benefit is uncertain. As a result, to the extent that those benefits
are realized in future periods, they will favorably impact net income. At September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $460 million in net operating loss carryforwards scheduled to expire between 2009 and 2025. Approximately $253
million of these net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitations imposed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, these limitations will effectively further restrict the use of the net operating losses that are
subject to the provisions of Section 382, to approximately $4.6 million annually, for 20 years. The remaining $207 million of net operating loss carryforwards are not restricted in their use. Management believes that this provision, along
with other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, will limit the amount of net operating losses that the Company would be allowed to deduct against future U.S. taxable income over the U.S. statutory carryforward periods.

NOTE 3PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Communications and data center
equipment, office equipment, and other equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from three to fifteen years. Facilities and leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease terms, which range from two to fifteen years. The following table presents property and equipment, by major category, as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

one of its data centers for $13.8 million. On June 30, 2006, the Company relinquished title to the buildings, and the Company-owned leasehold improvements contained therein, for $50.6 million and subsequently entered into a fifteen year
agreement to lease back such assets. The transaction was recorded as a financing method lease (see Note 6) and, as a result, the buildings and related leasehold improvements will remain in the Companys financial statements through June 2021,
the end of the lease term.

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 10, 2005, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as arranger and administrative agent, and certain other lenders to provide the
Company with an $85.0 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility), which, as amended on June 30, 2006, includes a $20.0 million letter of credit facility. The Revolving Facility may be used for working capital and other general
corporate purposes. The Revolving Facility matures, and all outstanding borrowings and unpaid interest are due, on December 9, 2008. In addition, all outstanding borrowings are subject to mandatory prepayment upon certain events, including the
availability of less than $7.0 million in borrowing capacity and qualified cash balances, as defined by the Revolving Facility agreement. As of September 30, 2006, the $85.0 million Revolving Facility, giving effect to the outstanding letters
of credit of $9.6 million (see Note 9), had unused availability of $75.4 million. The Company may terminate the Revolving Facility prior to maturity, provided that the Company pays a premium of 0.5% of the amount of the Revolving Facility if
terminated prior to June 10, 2007 but no premium if terminated thereafter.

The Revolving Facility contains affirmative covenants, negative covenants,
and financial covenants. The negative covenants place restrictions on, among other things, levels of investments, indebtedness, and dividend payments that the Company may make or incur. The financial covenants, which apply only if the Company
maintains qualified cash and availability of less than $35.0 million, require the maintenance of certain financial measures at defined levels. Under the Revolving Facility, borrowings bear interest determined by a base LIBOR rate of one to six
months plus an additional 2.75% to 3.25%, determined by certain financial measures, with a minimum interest rate at all times of 5.25%. As of September 30, 2006, the Revolving Facility carries an interest rate of 8.1% based on the one-month
LIBOR. As of September 30, 2006, the one-month LIBOR was 5.35% and the additional interest spread above LIBOR was 2.75%, lowered from 3.00% during the first quarter of 2006, due to the Companys achievement of certain financial measures.
Interest is payable at varying dates, as outlined in the Revolving Facility agreement, generally every one to three months. Unused commitments on the Revolving Facility are subject to a 0.5% annual commitment fee. The Revolving Facility is secured
by substantially all of the Companys domestic properties and assets. The carrying amount of the Companys obligations under the Revolving Facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are based on floating interest rates
identified by reference to market rates.

Subordinated Notes

In February 2004, the Company issued $200.0 million of Subordinated Notes. The proceeds were used to fund the asset acquisition of Cable & Wireless USA, Inc. and Cable & Wireless Internet Services,
Inc., together with the assets of certain of their affiliates (collectively, CWA), and related operational, working capital, and capital expenditure requirements. Debt issuance costs associated with the Subordinated Notes were $2.0 million,
consisting of fees to the purchasers of the Subordinated Notes, and were capitalized in other non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest
method until maturity. The Subordinated Notes accrued interest based on a 365-day year at a rate of 12.5% per annum until February 3, 2005 and 15% per annum thereafter, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31
through the issuance of additional Subordinated Notes equal to the accrued interest payable at the time of settlement. Prior to January 29, 2008, the Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a make-whole premium. The make-whole premium is equal to all remaining interest to be paid on the Subordinated Notes from the date of the redemption notice through
January 30, 2008, discounted semi-annually at a rate equal to the treasury rate plus 0.5%, plus 1% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes. After January 30, 2008, the Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not
in part, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change of control, the holders of the Subordinated Notes have the right to require the Company to redeem any or all of the Subordinated
Notes at a cash price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest as of the effective date of such change of control. The Subordinated Notes mature in a single installment on January 30,
2009. The outstanding principal and interest-to-date on the Subordinated Notes, excluding the original issue discount, was $286.7 million and $257.1 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Warrants exercisable for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series B Preferred) were issued with the Subordinated Notes and exercised shortly thereafter. The
$200.0 million in proceeds from issuance were allocated between the Subordinated Notes and the warrants for Series B Preferred, based on their relative fair values, resulting in an original issue discount of $65.9 million. The allocated value of the
Subordinated Notes at date of issuance, plus accrued interest on the face value and accreted interest on the original issue discount, are reflected as long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the
Series B Preferred was determined with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, and the allocated fair value is reflected in additional paid-in capital in stockholders deficit in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. The Series B Preferred were converted into common stock in December 2004 and were retired by the Companys Board of Directors in December 2005.

Debt Covenants

The provisions of the Companys Revolving Facility and Subordinated Notes contain a number of covenants

affected by events beyond the Companys control. The

breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Companys debt agreements and could trigger
acceleration of repayment. As of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Facility and Subordinated Notes, as applicable.

Future Principal Payments

As of
September 30, 2006, aggregate future principal payments of long-term debt were zero in each of the years 2006, 2007, and 2008, and were $401.9 million in 2009, consisting of $200.0 million in principal and $201.9 million of accrued non-cash
interest, with no payments due thereafter. The weighted average interest rate applicable to the Companys outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and Subordinated Notes was 15.0% and 13.53% as of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, respectively.

Financing Method Lease Obligation

On June 29, 2006, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased a facility it previously leased for use as a data center for $13.8 million. On June 30, 2006, the Company relinquished title to the
facility and certain Company-owned leasehold improvements and equipment located at the facility, having an aggregate net book value of $19.9 million, for $50.6 million. The Companys net proceeds from these transactions, before expenses, were
$36.8 million.

Concurrent with the closing of these transactions, the Company entered into a triple-net lease agreement to lease back the facility
and equipment (the Lease) for fifteen years at an initial annual base rent of $4.3 million and annual escalation of 2.5%. The Lease agreement provides the Company with the option to renew the Lease up to three times for a period of five years each.
The Company will be required to pay all of the costs associated with the operation of the facilities, including costs such as insurance, taxes and maintenance. The Lease imposes certain obligations on the Company and grants certain rights to the
landlord in the event the Company defaults on the Lease. The Lease contains other customary representations, warranties, obligations, conditions, indemnification provisions, and termination provisions associated with leases of this nature.

As a result of the renewal provisions in the Lease agreement that are indicative of continuing involvement by the Company, the Lease qualifies as a
financing method lease rather than a sale under sale-leaseback accounting for real estate. Accordingly, the Company recorded a financing method lease obligation of $50.6 million, equal to the proceeds received. The related assets and financing
method lease obligation will be reflected in the Companys accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet until completion of the lease term, when they will be removed from the Companys financial statements, and any remaining
obligation will be recognized as a gain on sale of the facility and equipment. Future minimum lease payments due under the financing method lease obligation, as of September 30, 2006, were $1.1 million during the remainder of 2006, $4.4 million
in 2007, $4.5 million in 2008, $4.6 million in 2009, $4.8 million in 2010 and $57.8 million thereafter, all of which represent interest using the effective interest method.

NOTE 9COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Companys customer contracts generally span multiple periods, which result in the Company entering into arrangements with various suppliers of communications
services that require the Company to maintain minimum spending levels, some of which increase over time, to secure favorable pricing terms. The Companys remaining aggregate minimum spending levels, allocated ratably over the terms of such
contracts, are $20.6 million, $46.4 million, $8.3 million, and $95.0 million in years 2006, 2007, 2008, and thereafter, respectively. Should the Company not meet the minimum spending requirements, decreasing termination liabilities, representing a
percentage of the remaining contracted amount, may become immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of these termination liabilities are subject to reduction should the Company experience certain circumstances such as the loss of a major
customer or loss of revenue from a general economic downturn. Before considering the effects of any potential reductions for the business downturn provisions, if the Company had terminated all of these agreements as of September 30, 2006, the
maximum liability would have been $170.3 million.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and other actions in the normal course of
business. While the results of such proceedings and actions cannot be predicted, management believes, based on facts known to management today, that the ultimate outcome of such proceedings and actions will not have a material adverse effect on the
Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has employment agreements with key executive officers
that contain provisions with regard to base salary, bonus, stock-based compensation, and other employee benefits. These agreements also provide for severance benefits in the event of employment termination or a change in control of the Company.

##### Table of Contents

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk, such as letters of credit, indemnifications and operating leases, which are not reflected in its consolidated balance sheets. The agreements associated with such guarantees and financial instruments mature at various dates through July
2017 and may be renewed as circumstances warrant. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $9.6 million in letters of credit pledged as collateral to support various property and equipment leases and utilities. In addition, certain of the
operating leases assumed by the Company in the CWA asset acquisition were collateralized by Cable & Wireless plc with letters of credit and guarantees. Such collateral remained in place following the acquisition, and the Company agreed to
reimburse Cable & Wireless plc for any payments made under the collateral. Such collateral totals $2.1 million and will be replaced by the Company on or before July 2007. The Companys financial instruments are valued based on the
amount of exposure under the instruments and the likelihood of performance being required. In managements past experience, no claims have been made against these financial instruments nor does management expect the exposure to material losses
resulting therefrom to be anything other than remote. As a result, the Company determined such financial instruments do not have significant value and has not recorded any related amounts in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Diluted common shares, on an as converted basis, presented above is for informational purposes and is not meant to

Reverse Stock Split

On May 10, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of the Companys common stock. The record date for the
reverse stock split was June 5, 2006, and on June 6, 2006, the reverse stock split was completed. Stockholders received cash in lieu of any fraction of a share that they would have otherwise been entitled to receive as a result of the
reverse stock split. In connection with the reverse stock split, each fifteen shares of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock was combined into one share of common stock. In addition, all exercise and conversion prices and the
number of shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, stock options and other equity awards presented herein for current and prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Preferred Stock

On May 10, 2006, the Company entered
into an Exchange and Recapitalization Agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with the holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred) pursuant to which the holders agreed to exchange (the Exchange) their shares of Series A
Preferred for an aggregate of 37.4 million shares of the Companys common stock, including 8.4 million common shares in addition to the shares of common stock the Series A Preferred was then convertible into in accordance with their
terms. On June 30, 2006, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, all such common shares were issued to the holders of the Series A Preferred, in exchange for all shares of Series A Preferred. In connection with the Exchange, the Company recognized
a deemed dividend on the Series A Preferred of $240.1 million, representing the difference between the fair market value of the shares issued in the Exchange and those convertible pursuant to the original conversion terms. The deemed dividend is
included in the computation of net loss attributable to common stockholders in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, we had 51.2 million
shares of common stock outstanding.

Investment funds related to Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (WCAS) held approximately 68% of the outstanding
Series A Preferred. Three members of the Companys board of directors are general partners of certain WCAS funds, represent WCAS on the Companys board of directors and owned shares of Series A Preferred and participated in the Exchange.
Constellation Venture Capital II, L.P., Constellation Venture Capital Offshore II, L.P., The BSC Employee Fund IV, L.P. and CVC II Partners, L.L.C. (together, Constellation), held approximately 10% of the outstanding Series A Preferred, and MLT, LLC
(formerly Moneyline Telerate Holdings, Inc.), who currently has one representative on the Companys Board of Directors, held approximately 20% of the outstanding Series A Preferred. Constellations representative on the Companys
board of directors resigned effective July 14, 2006. Two of the Companys executive officers hold restricted preferred units (RPUs) that entitled them to receive upon vesting of each RPU that number of shares of common stock that a holder
of Series A Preferred would be entitled to receive. Accordingly, their RPUs were adjusted to give them the same benefits they would have received had they held Series A Preferred and participated in the Exchange.

##### Table of Contents

The Exchange was approved by a special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company comprised of independent
directors who were advised by independent, third-party financial advisors and legal counsel. The Exchange was also approved by the stockholders of the Company acting by written consent. WCAS, Constellation and MLT, who collectively hold more than a
majority of the Companys outstanding voting power, executed the written consent.

Holders of the Series A Preferred representing approximately 99% of
the shares received in the Exchange have agreed not to sell any of such shares, except in certain circumstances or with the approval of the special committee, until November 1, 2006.

Restricted Preferred Units

On May 8, 2006, the
compensation committee of the Board of Directors awarded 6,770 RPUs to certain executives of the Company, giving the holders the right to receive upon vesting that number of shares of common stock as one share of the Companys Series A
Preferred would be convertible into had such shares of Series A Preferred been outstanding since March 18, 2002, less an exercise value of $1,561 per RPU. Based on the terms of the Exchange previously described, the RPUs were adjusted to give
the holders the same benefits they would have received had they participated in the Exchange, resulting in the holders obtaining the right to receive upon vesting 1.3 million shares of common stock. Compensation expense associated with the RPUs
was measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was determined to be $30.7 million and will be recognized over the four year vesting period. Vesting is subject to continued employment and occurs at a rate of 25% on
each anniversary of the grant date until fully vested. Compensation expense associated with RPUs was $2.0 million and $3.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

In August 2005, the compensation
committee of the Board of Directors awarded 1.3 million restricted stock units (RSUs) to executives and employees under the 2003 Plan, of which 0.7 million have since been forfeited through September 30, 2006 upon employment
terminations. In 2006, the compensation committee awarded 0.4 million RSUs to Company executives. The Company received no cash consideration for such awards, and the awards resulted in deferred compensation of $7.3 million and $13.1 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, which represents the fair value of the RSUs on the date of grant less any unamortized value upon forfeiture of such grants. The vesting of
the RSUs is subject to continued employment and the Companys achievement of financial performance targets over a period of up to four years. RSUs represent common stock but do not give the recipient any actual ownership interest in the
Companys common stock, other than the right to receive cash dividends, until vested and the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs are delivered. Deferred compensation is being amortized on a straight-line basis and recognized as non-cash
equity-based compensation over the requisite service period. Compensation expense associated with RSUs was $1.5 million and $3.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and $0.4 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005. If the Company believes it is probable that it will achieve its performance targets, non-cash equity-based compensation will be accelerated such that the amount of non-cash equity-based compensation
recorded is reflective of the accelerated vesting of RSUs.

Compensation expense associated with stock options was $4.4 million and $5.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, including $0.7 million associated with the
modification of a term of a former executives stock option agreement in March 2006. Compensation expense associated with stock options was $0.5 million and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
respectively.

On July 6, 2006, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the number of common shares available
for grants of options or other share-based instruments by 3.0 million, and concurrently approved the grant of 2.9 million stock options with an exercise price of $30.01. Total compensation expense, using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model, was $61.1 million and will be recognized over the vesting period. On August 11, 2006, an additional grant of 0.5 million shares with an exercise price of $25.93 was approved, with a total compensation expense of $8.6 million to be
recognized over the vesting period, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Both option grants vest 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date and then monthly thereafter through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. On
August 31, 2006, a grant of 0.1 million shares was approved with an exercise price of $25.09, with a total compensation expense of $1.8 million to be recognized over the vesting period, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This
grant has a vesting term of four years and will vest one-quarter every year on the anniversary of the grant date. All three of the above mentioned grants were issued under the Companys 2003 plan.

Warrants

In
connection with its recapitalization in 2002, the Company issued warrants to Nortel Networks, Inc. (Nortel) to purchase approximately 0.4 million shares of the Companys common stock for $11.25 per share. In March 2006, Nortel exercised
its warrants and received approximately 0.2 million shares of the Companys common stock. Additionally in 2002, the Company issued ten million five-year performance warrants to entities affiliated with Constellation Ventures
(Constellation) to acquire shares of common stock at $11.25 per share. The warrants vested in a total of three tranches as Constellation earned the right to exercise the warrants when it met certain performance criteria related to assisting the
Company in obtaining new business. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the first quarter of 2004, and the second quarter of 2004, respectively, Constellation met the performance criteria, causing each of the three tranches for an aggregate of
0.6 million warrants to vest, which resulted in non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $3.4 million, $6.6 million, and $3.8 million, with respect to each of the three tranches. The non-cash equity-based compensation expense was
calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model and relevant market and Company assumptions. In the first quarter of 2004, Constellation completed a cashless exercise of its first tranche of vested warrants and received approximately
0.2 million shares of the Companys common stock. In August 2006, Constellation completed an additional cashless exercise of its remaining warrants and received approximately 0.2 million shares of the Companys common stock.

The following table presents information associated with the Companys stock-based compensation awards for the nine months ended September 30,

NOTE 11INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC REPORTING

SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, prescribes standards for reporting information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and in interim financial reports. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker
or decision making group, to determine how resources should be allocated and to assess operating performance.

The Company provides various products and
service offerings to its customers through a single sales force. A high percentage of the Companys customers purchase a variety of services. As a result, management assesses financial information, makes business decisions, and manages the
business as one segment. Although the Company operates in one segment, its operations are managed on the basis of three primary geographic regions: Americas, Europe (includes the Middle East and Africa) and Asia. Management evaluates the performance
of such regions and allocates resources to them based primarily on revenue. The Company has evaluated the criteria for aggregation of its geographic regions under SFAS 131 and believes it meets each of the respective criteria set forth therein. Each
geographic region provides all of the Companys services to businesses in various industries. In addition, the geographic regions utilize similar means for delivering the Companys services; have similarity in the types of customers
receiving the products and services; distribute the Companys services over a unified network; and operate within a generally consistent regulatory environment. In light of these factors, management has determined that the Company has one
reportable segment.

NOTE 13RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement 109.
FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 provides guidance
for using fair value techniques to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also provides for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and
the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

SAVVIS, Inc. is a global information technology (IT) services company that provides integrated hosting, network, digital content, and professional
services through our end-to-end global infrastructure to businesses around the world and to U.S. federal government agencies. Our solutions are designed to offer a flexible, comprehensive IT solution that meets the specific business and
infrastructure needs of our customers. Our suite of products can be purchased as specific applications or point solutions, as part of a total or partial outsourcing arrangement, or on a utility, or on demand, basis. Our point solutions
meet the specific needs of customers who require control of their physical assets, while our utility solution provides customers with on-demand access to our services and infrastructure without the upfront capital costs. By outsourcing significant
elements of their network and IT infrastructure needs, our customers are able to focus on their core business while we ensure the performance of their IT infrastructure. We have approximately 5,000 customers across all industries with a particular
emphasis in the financial services, media and entertainment, retail and the U.S. federal government sectors.

Services

We provide various products and service offerings to our customers primarily through our direct sales force. A high percentage of customers purchase a variety of services
and as a result, management assesses financial information, makes business decisions and manages the business as one segment. Although we operate in one segment, our operations are managed on the basis of three primary geographic regions: Americas,
Europe (includes the Middle East and Africa) and Asia. The following briefly describes our services by revenue category:

Hosting

Hosting revenue includes revenue from our managed hosting solutions. Hosting includes the facilities, networks, servers, storage, and operations to run business
applications. Customers can take advantage of our flexible service model which allows them to decide the right combination of our service for their applications from basic colocation to managed hosting to utility computing.

Managed IP VPN

Managed IP VPN includes revenue primarily from our IP
VPN. This service is a fully managed, end-to-end service that includes all hardware, management systems, and operations to transport video and data applications. This service has built-in security, fully-meshed connectivity, and the ability to
assign individual service levels to different applications so each application receives the performance levels it requires and reduces unused capacity.

Other Network Services

Other network services include Internet access and private line services to enterprises and wholesale carrier
customers. These services can be purchased individually or in combination. The network portfolio emphasizes high performance and availability, end-to-end management and monitoring, security, fully-meshed connectivity between customer sites for
improved reliability and efficiency, and cost effectiveness.

Our customers varied and individual needs often require that our portfolio of services
be combined and integrated in order to best suit their needs. To address these needs, we also offer the following services:

Industry Solutions.
Industry solutions integrate powerful applications with our global infrastructure to deliver services that enhance industry-specific workflows and improve enterprise productivity. These services support the financial services, media and
entertainment and retail markets and the U.S. federal government. Cross-industry solutions for email and collaboration are also available.

##### Table of Contents

Professional Services. Professional services are provided through a group of industry experts and skilled
practitioners that allow our customers to get the maximum value out of our services. We offer assistance and consultation in security, web-based applications, business recovery, program management, infrastructure and migration.

Digital Content Services

Revenue from digital content services, or
media services, includes our WAM!NET services, digital media services and Content Delivery Network (CDN) services. These services provide a managed infrastructure tied to workflow applications that enhance the creation, production and distribution
of digital content and streaming media. These services help customers manage, share, store and distribute their digital content inside their organization and throughout supply chains outside of their organization.

Business Trends

Our financial results continue to be affected
by competition in our industry. We expect competitive factors in our industry to continue to affect the prices for our services and our results of operations. Price pressures vary by product and service. Prices for certain telecommunications
services that we offer have decreased over the past several years. While we expect to continue to see decreases for some of these telecommunications services due to continued consolidation in the telecommunications industry, there has been some
stabilization and some increases in pricing of other services that we offer. For example, pricing for our hosting colocation services has increased and is expected to continue to increase in certain markets where there is a shortage of high grade
data center space.

Due to the disparity in pricing of our products and services, we continue to evaluate our operating structure and focus. We continue to
explore strategic options for those services, such as CDN, which have continued to have relatively slow growth over the past year, and instead focus on our hosting and managed IP VPN services, which have continued to grow steadily over the past
year. As such, we are reviewing a possible investment to upgrade our network and we continue to explore options to increase our available data center space in certain markets. As a result of these initiatives, we believe we can reduce costs while
improving the level of service that we offer our customers.

In evaluating our financial results and the performance of our business, our management
reviews our revenues, gross profit, gross margin, and income from operations. In addition, management evaluates these indicators on a quarterly and annual basis in order to have a complete understanding of business trends. The following table
presents a quarterly overview of these indicators for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Revenue

Our revenue grew by 17% during the three months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005, and 14% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005 was due primarily to increases from hosting of $24.8 million and managed IP VPN of $6.8 million, partially offset by a decline in other network services of $1.2
million and Reuters revenue of $2.7 million. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily due to increases from hosting of $63.5 million and from
managed IP VPN of $19.4 million, partially offset by a decline in other network services of $6.3 million and Reuters revenue of $9.6 million.

Together,
Reuters Limited (Reuters) and Telerate, which was acquired by Reuters in 2005, accounted for 11% and 12% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and 15% for the three and nine months ended
September 30,

##### Table of Contents

2005. The decrease was primarily due to reduced pricing for certain services that we provide, the elimination of minimum
revenue commitments based on the terms of a three-year Master Services Agreement that we entered into with Reuters in May 2005, and the reduction of services purchased by Reuters under our Telerate contract. We anticipate that revenue from the
Telerate contract will continue to decline over the next six to nine months to almost zero as Reuters begins moving Telerate customers from under our contract. We believe we can partially offset this decrease by increasing our revenue from new and
existing customers through a number of initiatives. Some of these initiatives include improving the productivity of our direct sales force by increasing sales force automation and providing more sales support with engineering and product expertise
and exploring opportunities to sell additional services to existing customers, including Reuters. In addition, we plan on capitalizing on the current shortage of colocation space by replacing existing contracts, which were set when the price for
colocation services was low, as they expire with market rate contracts.

Gross Profit

We use gross profit, defined as revenue less cost of revenue, excluding depreciation, amortization, and accretion, and gross margin, defined as gross profit as a percentage of revenue, to evaluate our business. Gross
profit was $77.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $18.2 million, or 31%, from $59.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Gross profit was $216.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, an increase of $46.0 million, or 27%, from $170.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The improvement of gross profit reflects our continued efforts to rationalize network operations, reduce our fixed
network costs, and reduce the service costs of our hosting data centers. As a result, gross margin was 40% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 36% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, and 38% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $4.1 million, an improvement of $1.8 million, or 77%, from $2.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2005. The improvement was primarily due to the increase in revenue of $27.6 million, partially offset by increases in cost of revenue of $9.5 million; sales, general, and administrative expenses of $14.6 million; and
depreciation, amortization, and accretion of $1.7 million. Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $13.8 million, an improvement of $20.3 million, or 312%, as compared to a loss from operations of $6.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This improvement was primarily driven by an increase in revenue of $67.8 million and the absence of $2.7 million of integration costs and $3.3 million of restructuring charges which were not
incurred in 2006, partially offset by increases in cost of revenue of $21.8 million; sales, general, and administrative expenses of $28.0 million; and depreciation, amortization, and accretion of $3.8 million.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

Revolving Facility Payment

On July 3, 2006, we fully paid the outstanding balance on our Revolving Facility of $32.0 million plus $0.3 million of related accrued
interest. After such payment was made, unused availability under the $85.0 million Revolving Facility, giving effect to outstanding letters of credit of $9.6 million, was $75.4 million.

Financing Method Lease Obligation

On June 29, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary purchased a facility we
previously leased for use as a data center for $13.8 million. Following the purchase, on June 30, 2006, we relinquished title to the facility and certain equipment we owned located at the facility, having an aggregate net book value of $19.9
million, for $50.6 million. Our net proceeds from these transactions, before expenses, were $36.8 million.

Concurrent with the closing of these
transactions, we entered into a triple-net lease agreement to lease back the facility and equipment for fifteen years at an initial annual base rent of $4.3 million and annual escalation of 2.5%. The lease agreement provides us with the option to
renew the lease up to three times for a period of five years each. We will be required to pay all of the costs associated with the operation of the facilities, including costs such as insurance, taxes and maintenance. The lease agreement imposes
certain obligations on us and grants certain rights to the landlord in the event we default on the lease. The lease agreement contains other customary representations, warranties, obligations, conditions, indemnification provisions and termination
provisions associated with leases of this nature.

As a result of the renewal provisions in the lease agreement that are indicative of continuing
involvement by us, the lease qualifies as a financing method lease rather than a sale under sale-leaseback accounting for real estate. Accordingly, we recorded a financing method lease obligation of $50.6 million, equal to the proceeds received. The
related assets and financing method lease obligation will be reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet until completion of the lease term in June 2021, when they will be removed from our financial statements, and any remaining obligation
will be recognized as a gain on sale of the facility and equipment. Future

minimum lease payments due under the financing method lease obligation, as of September 30, 2006, were $1.1 million
during the remainder of 2006, $4.4 million in 2007, $4.5 million in 2008, $4.6 million in 2009, $4.8 million in 2010 and $57.8 million thereafter, all of which represent interest using the effective interest method.

Equity Transactions

Reverse Stock Split

On May 10, 2006, our Board of Directors declared a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of our common stock. The record date for the reverse stock split was
June 5, 2006, and on June 6, 2006, the reverse stock split was completed. Stockholders received cash in lieu of any fraction of a share that they would have otherwise been entitled to receive as a result of the reverse stock split. In
connection with the reverse stock split, each fifteen shares of our issued and outstanding common stock was combined into one share of our common stock. In addition, all exercise and conversion prices and the number of shares of our common stock,
preferred stock, warrants, stock options and other equity awards presented herein for current and prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Preferred Stock

On May 10, 2006, we entered into an Exchange and Recapitalization Agreement (the Exchange
Agreement) with the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred) pursuant to which the holders agreed to exchange (the Exchange) their shares of Series A Preferred for an aggregate of 37.4 million shares of our
common stock, including 8.4 million common shares in addition to the shares of common stock the Series A Preferred was then convertible into in accordance with their terms. On June 30, 2006, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, all such
common shares were issued to the holders of the Series A Preferred, in exchange for all shares of Series A Preferred. In connection with the Exchange, we recognized a deemed dividend on the Series A Preferred of $240.1 million, representing the
difference between the fair market value of the shares issued in the Exchange and those convertible pursuant to the original conversion terms. The deemed dividend is included in the computation of net loss attributable to common stockholders in our
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, we had 51.2 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Investment funds related to Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (WCAS) held approximately 68% of the outstanding Series A Preferred. Three members of our board of
directors are general partners of certain WCAS funds, represent WCAS on our board of directors and owned shares of Series A Preferred and participated in the Exchange. Constellation Venture Capital II, L.P., Constellation Venture Capital Offshore
II, L.P., The BSC Employee Fund IV, L.P. and CVC II Partners, L.L.C. (together, Constellation), who on September 30, 2006, had one representative on our Board of Directors, held approximately 10% of the outstanding Series A Preferred, and MLT,
LLC (formerly Moneyline Telerate Holdings, Inc.), who currently has one representative on our Board of Directors, held approximately 20% of the outstanding Series A Preferred. Constellations representative on our board of directors resigned
effective July 14, 2006. Two of our executive officers hold restricted preferred units (RPUs) that entitled them to receive upon vesting of each RPU that number of shares of common stock that a holder of Series A Preferred would be entitled to
receive. Accordingly, their RPUs were adjusted to give them the same benefits they would have received had they held Series A Preferred and participated in the Exchange.

The Exchange was approved by a special committee of our Board of Directors comprised of independent directors who were advised by independent, third-party financial advisors and legal counsel. The Exchange was also
approved by our stockholders acting by written consent. WCAS, Constellation and MLT, who collectively hold more than a majority of our outstanding voting power, executed the written consent.

Holders of the Series A Preferred representing approximately 99% of the shares received in the Exchange have agreed not to sell any of such shares, except in certain
circumstances or with the approval of the special committee, until November 1, 2006.

Restricted Preferred Units

On May 8, 2006, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors awarded 6,770 RPUs to certain executives of SAVVIS, giving the holders the right to receive upon
vesting that number of shares of common stock as one share of our Series A Preferred would be convertible into had such shares of Series A Preferred been outstanding since March 18, 2002, less an exercise value of $1,561 per RPU. Based on the
terms of the Exchange previously described, the RPUs were adjusted to give the holders the same benefits they would have received had they participated in the Exchange, resulting in the holders obtaining the right to receive upon vesting
1.3 million shares of common stock. Compensation expense associated with the RPUs was measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was determined to be $30.7 million and will be recognized over the four year
vesting period. Vesting is subject to continued employment and occurs at a rate of 25% on each anniversary of the grant date until fully vested. Compensation expense associated with RPUs was $2.0 million and $3.2 million during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

In August 2005, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors awarded 1.3 million restricted stock units (RSUs) to executives and employees under the 2003 Plan, of which 0.7 million have since been forfeited through
September 30, 2006 upon employment terminations. In 2006, the compensation committee awarded 0.4 million RSUs to our executives. We received no cash consideration for such awards, and the awards resulted in deferred compensation of $7.3
million and $13.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, which represents the fair value of the RSUs on the date of grant less any unamortized value upon forfeiture of
such grants. The vesting of the RSUs is subject to continued employment and our achievement of financial performance targets over a period of up to four years. RSUs represent common stock but do not give the recipient any actual ownership interest
in the Companys common stock, other than the right to receive cash dividends, until vested and the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs are delivered. Deferred compensation is being amortized on a straight-line basis and recognized as
non-cash equity-based compensation over the requisite service period. Compensation expense associated with RSUs was $1.5 million and $3.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and $0.4 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. If we believe it is probable that we will achieve our performance targets, non-cash equity-based compensation will be accelerated such that the amount of non-cash equity-based compensation
recorded is reflective of the accelerated vesting of RSUs.

Stock Options

Compensation expense associated with stock options was $4.4 million and $5.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, including $0.7 million associated with the
modification of a term of a former executives stock option agreement in March 2006. Compensation expense associated with stock options was $0.5 million and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
respectively.

On July 6, 2006, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the number of common shares available
for grants of options or other share-based instruments by 3.0 million, and concurrently approved the grant of 2.9 million stock options with an exercise price of $30.01. Total compensation expense, using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model, was $61.1 million and will be recognized over the vesting period. On August 11, 2006, an additional grant of 0.5 million shares with an exercise price of $25.93 was approved, with a total compensation expense of $8.6 million to be
recognized over the vesting period, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Both option grants vest 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date and then monthly thereafter through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. On
August 31, 2006, a grant of 0.1 million shares was approved with an exercise price of $25.09, with a total compensation expense of $1.8 million to be recognized over the vesting period, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This
grant has a vesting term of four years and will vest one-quarter every year on the anniversary of the grant date. All three of the above mentioned grants were issued under our 2003 plan.

Warrants

In connection with our recapitalization in 2002, we issued warrants to Nortel Networks, Inc. (Nortel) to
purchase approximately 0.4 million shares of our common stock for $11.25 per share. In March 2006, Nortel exercised its warrants and received approximately 0.2 million shares of our common stock. Additionally in 2002, we issued ten million
five-year performance warrants to entities affiliated with Constellation Ventures (Constellation) to acquire shares of common stock at $11.25 per share. The warrants vested in a total of three tranches as Constellation earned the right to exercise
the warrants when it met certain performance criteria related to assisting us in obtaining new business. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the first quarter of 2004, and the second quarter of 2004, respectively, Constellation met the performance
criteria, causing each of the three tranches for an aggregate of 0.6 million warrants to vest, which resulted in non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $3.4 million, $6.6 million, and $3.8 million, with respect to each of the three
tranches. The non-cash equity-based compensation expense was calculated utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model and relevant market and Company assumptions. In the first quarter of 2004, Constellation completed a cashless exercise of its
first tranche of vested warrants and received approximately 0.2 million shares of our common stock. In August 2006, Constellation completed an additional cashless exercise of its remaining warrants and received approximately 0.2 million
shares of our common stock.

was partially offset by an 11% decline in Reuters revenue and smaller declines in digital content services and other
network services. Income from operations improved $1.8 million, or 77%, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005. The improvement in income from operations was due primarily to the
increase in revenue which was partially offset by increases in cost of revenue of $9.5 million, or 9%; sales, general, and administrative expenses of $14.6 million, or 39%; and depreciation, amortization, and accretion of $1.7 million, or 9%. For
the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, cost of revenue and sales, general, and administrative expenses include non-cash equity-based compensation expense, in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107, which was previously reported separately in 2005. Net loss improved $0.2 million, or 1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005, as a result of the factors
previously described.

Revenue was $193.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $27.6 million, or
17%, from $166.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Diversified hosting revenue was $99.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $24.8 million, or 33%, from $74.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was due primarily to growth in existing services, particularly in our infrastructure and managed utility service offerings, and more favorable pricing. Diversified managed IP VPN revenue was
$35.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $6.7 million, or 24%, from $28.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was mainly attributed to new sales activity and growth in
existing services. Other network services includes internet access revenue and private line services and was $27.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 4%, from $28.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2005. This decrease was due primarily to continued pricing pressures in unmanaged bandwidth for such services. Digital content services revenue, which includes CDN and WAM!NET revenue, was $10.2 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of less than $0.1 million, from $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This slight decrease was due primarily to offsetting customer churn during the three months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Reuters revenue was $21.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 11%, from $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decline was due primarily to pricing reductions and the elimination of minimum revenue commitments from Reuters.
We expect Reuters revenue in 2006 to be lower than 2005 as a result of revised competitive pricing and the elimination of minimum revenue commitments based on the terms of our 2005 agreement with Reuters previously described elsewhere herein.

Cost of Revenue.Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation, amortization, and accretion, which is reported separately, was $116.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $9.5 million, or 9%, from $107.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel and related costs and higher utilities
costs, partially offset by continued realization of various cost-savings initiatives. Gross profit, defined as total revenue less cost of revenue, was $77.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $18.2 million, or
31%, from $59.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, increased to 40% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 36% for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, primarily resulting from strong revenue growth and cost-savings initiatives.

Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses.Sales, general, and administrative expenses include all costs associated with the selling of our services and administrative functions such as finance, legal and human resources. Such expenses were $52.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, an increase of $14.7 million, or 39%, from $37.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Sales, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 27% for the three months ended
September 30, 2006

##### Table of Contents

compared to 23% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was due primarily to increased personnel
and related costs, higher commissions, and the addition of $6.1 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense in 2006 compared to 2005, partially offset by the realization of various cost-savings initiatives.

Depreciation, Amortization, and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization, and accretion includes depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible
assets, and accretion of the discounted present value of certain liabilities and long-term fixed price contracts. Depreciation, amortization, and accretion was $20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1.7
million, or 9%, from $19.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Net Interest Expense and Other. Net interest expense and
other primarily represents interest on our Series A Subordinated Notes (the Subordinated Notes), capital and financing method lease obligations, and revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility), as well as amortization of the original issue
discount on the Subordinated Notes and amortization of debt issuance costs. Net interest expense and other was $17.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1.7 million, or 11%, from $16.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the financing method lease obligation executed on June 30, 2006, higher compounding of payable-in-kind interest on the Subordinated Notes and additional capital leases in
effect in 2006. These increases were partially offset by lower outstanding balances in 2006 on the Revolving Facility.

Net Loss. Net loss for the
three months ended September 30, 2006 was $13.6 million, an improvement of $0.1 million, or 1%, from $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily driven by the factors previously described.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

Executive Summary of Results of Operations

Revenue increased
$67.8 million, or 14%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as a result of a 30% improvement in diversified hosting, a 24% increase in diversified managed IP VPN, and a 3%
increase in digital content services, which was, partially offset by a 13% decline in Reuters revenue and a 7% decline in other network services. Income from operations improved $20.3 million, or 312%, for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, compared to a loss from operations of $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the increase in revenue, as well as the absence of $2.7 million in integration costs and $3.3 million in
restructuring charges in 2005 which were not incurred in 2006. This improvement was partially offset by increases in sales, general, and administrative expenses of $28.0 million and depreciation, amortization, and accretion of $3.8 million. Net loss
improved $18.8 million, or 34%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as a result of the factors previously described.

nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was due primarily to growth in existing services, particularly in our infrastructure and managed utility service offerings, and improved pricing. Diversified managed IP VPN revenue was $101.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $19.4 million, or 24%, from $82.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was mainly attributed to new sales activity and growth in existing

##### Table of Contents

for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $0.8 million, or 3%, from $31.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was due primarily to usage increases, partially offset by reduced pricing for CDN services during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2005.

Reuters revenue was $66.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $9.6 million, or 13%, from $76.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decline was due primarily to pricing reductions and the elimination of minimum revenue commitments from Reuters. We expect Reuters revenue in 2006 to be lower than 2005 as a result of revised
competitive pricing and the elimination of minimum revenue commitments based on the terms of our 2005 agreement with Reuters described elsewhere herein.

Cost of Revenue.Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation, amortization, and accretion, which is reported separately, was $346.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $21.8 million, or 7%, from
$324.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily related to the increase in personnel and related costs and higher utilities costs, partially offset by the continued realization of various cost-savings
initiatives. Gross profit, defined as total revenue less cost of revenue, was $216.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $46.0 million, or 27%, from $170.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, increased to 38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily resulting from strong
revenue growth and cost-savings initiatives.

Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses.Sales, general, and administrative expenses were $142.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $28.0 million, or 24%, from $114.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Sales, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 25%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was due primarily to increased personnel and related costs, higher commissions, and the addition of $10.1 million in
non-cash stock-based compensation expense in 2006 compared to 2005, partially offset by the realization of various cost-savings initiatives.

Depreciation, Amortization, and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization, and accretion includes depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and accretion of the discounted present value of certain
liabilities and long-term fixed price contracts assumed in the CWA acquisition. Depreciation, amortization, and accretion was $60.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $3.8 million, or 7%, from $56.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Restructuring Charges, Net.Restructuring charges, net, represent the termination of a naming rights
agreement for use of our name on a sports and entertainment arena and the termination of an operating lease relating to unutilized space for which a restructuring liability had previously been established for the net present value of future minimum
lease payments and were $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We have not incurred any restructuring costs in 2006.

Integration Costs.Integration costs represented incremental costs to the combined organization after the CWA asset acquisition in March 2004, including consulting services, payroll costs and stay bonuses, and PoP consolidation and
network restructuring. We did not incur any integration costs associated with the CWA acquisition in 2006 as integration activities have been completed. Integration costs were $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We have
not incurred any integration costs in 2006.

Net Interest Expense and Other. Net interest expense and other primarily represents interest on the
Subordinated Notes, capital and financing method lease obligations, and the Revolving Facility as well as amortization of the original issue discount on the Subordinated Notes and amortization of debt issuance costs. Net interest expense and other
was $50.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1.5 million, or 3%, from $49.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the financing method lease obligation
executed on June 30, 2006, higher compounding of payable-in-kind interest on the Subordinated Notes, and additional capital leases in effect in 2006. These increases were partially offset by lower outstanding balances in 2006 on the Revolving
Facility.

Net Loss. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $37.1 million, an improvement of $18.8 million, or 34%, from
$55.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily driven by the factors previously described.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2006, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $78.1 million. We had $77.7 million in net cash provided by operating
activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $46.1 million from net cash provided by operating activities of $31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This change was primarily due to
improvements in our results of operations, driven by higher revenue growth that outpaced the growth in costs, largely resulting from our ongoing cost-savings initiatives. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 was $65.0 million, an increase of $28.6 million from net cash used in investing activities of $36.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This change was primarily related to an increase in capital
expenditures of $15.5 million and the purchase of buildings previously leased for use in one of

our data centers for $13.8 million. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily investment driven and supports the
growth in new and existing revenue streams. We expect future capital expenditures to increase as we continue to explore options to expand our business, including the possible investment to upgrade our network. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $5.0 million, an increase of $4.0 million from net cash provided by financing activities of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase primarily
relates to proceeds received in our financing method lease obligation of $50.6 million and cash received for the exercise of stock options of $16.1 million, partially offset by the $58.0 million pay down on the Revolving Facility.

On July 25, 2006, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission using a shelf registration process,
which we amended on August 29, 2006. Under this shelf, we and certain stockholders with registration rights may, from time to time, offer and sell in one or more offerings up to $300 million of additional shares of our common stock. While we
believe that cash currently on hand, amounts available under our Revolving Facility and expected cash flows from future operations are sufficient to fund operations, we may seek to raise additional capital if necessary to meet certain capital and
liquidity requirements in the future.

Historically, we have not been cash flow positive However, we experienced positive cash flows from operations in
2005. In 2006, we expect cash flows from operations to be positive in 2006. The achievement of this goal is reflected in the quarterly trend analysis that follows, which presents cash flows from operations for the five consecutive quarters through
September 30, 2006. Due to the dynamic nature of our industry and unforeseen circumstances, if we are unable to fully fund cash requirements through operations, we may need to obtain additional financing through a combination of equity and debt
financings, renegotiation of terms on our existing debt, and sales of assets and services. If any such activities are required, there can be no assurance that we would be successful in completing any of these activities on terms that would be
favorable to us.

The following table presents a quarterly overview of key components of our cash flows (dollars in thousands):

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 10, 2005, we and
certain of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as arranger and administrative agent, and certain other lenders to provide us with an $85.0 million Revolving Facility, which, as amended on June 30,
2006, includes a $20.0 million letter of credit facility. The Revolving Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Revolving Facility matures, and all outstanding borrowings and unpaid interest are due, on
December 9, 2008. In addition, all outstanding borrowings are subject to mandatory prepayment upon certain events, including the availability of less than $7.0 million in borrowing capacity and qualified cash balances, as defined by the
Revolving Facility agreement. As of September 30, 2006, the $85.0 million Revolving Facility had no outstanding principal balance but had outstanding letters of credit of $9.6 million, resulting in unused availability of $75.4 million. We paid
down $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2006, $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 and we paid down the remaining outstanding principal of $32.0 million plus $0.3 million of related accrued interest in the third quarter of 2006. We may
terminate the Revolving Facility prior to maturity, provided we pay a premium of 0.5% of the amount of the Revolving Facility if terminated prior to June 10, 2007 but no premium if terminated thereafter.

##### Table of Contents

The Revolving Facility contains affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and financial covenants. The negative
covenants place restrictions on, among other things, levels of investments, indebtedness, and dividend payments that we may make or incur. The financial covenants, which apply only if we maintain qualified cash and availability of less than $35.0
million, require the maintenance of certain financial measures at defined levels. Under the Revolving Facility, borrowings bear interest determined by a base LIBOR rate of one to six months plus an additional 2.75% to 3.25%, determined by certain
financial measures, with a minimum interest rate at all times of 5.25%. As of September 30, 2006, the Revolving Facility carries an interest rate of 8.1%. As of September 30, 2006, the one-month LIBOR was 5.35%, and the additional interest
spread above LIBOR was 2.75%, lowered from 3.00% during the first quarter of 2006, due to our achievement of certain financial measures. Interest is payable at varying dates, as outlined in the Revolving Facility agreement, generally every one to
six months. Unused commitments on the Revolving Facility are subject to a 0.5% annual commitment fee. The Revolving Facility is secured by substantially all of our domestic properties and assets. The carrying amount of our obligations under the
Revolving Facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are based on floating interest rates identified by reference to market rates.

Subordinated Notes

In February 2004, we issued $200.0 million of the Subordinated Notes. The proceeds were used to fund the CWA
asset acquisition and related operational, working capital, and capital expenditure requirements. Debt issuance costs associated with the Subordinated Notes were $2.0 million, consisting of fees to the purchasers of the Subordinated Notes, and were
capitalized in other non-current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method until maturity. The Subordinated Notes accrued interest based on a 365-day year at a
rate of 12.5% per annum until February 3, 2005 and 15% per annum thereafter, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 through the issuance of additional Subordinated Notes equal to the accrued interest payable at the
time of settlement. Prior to January 29, 2008, we may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a make-whole premium. The
make-whole premium is equal to all remaining interest to be paid on the Subordinated Notes from the date of the redemption notice through January 30, 2008, discounted semi-annually at a rate equal to the treasury rate plus 0.5%, plus 1% of the
principal amount of the Subordinated Notes. After January 30, 2008, we may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change
of control, the holders of the Subordinated Notes have the right to require us to redeem any or all of the Subordinated Notes at a cash price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest as of
the effective date of such change of control. The Subordinated Notes mature in a single installment on January 30, 2009. The outstanding principal and interest-to-date on the Subordinated Notes, excluding the original issue discount, was $286.7
million as of September 30, 2006 and $257.1 million as of December 31, 2005.

Warrants exercisable for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the
Series B Preferred) were issued with the Subordinated Notes and exercised shortly thereafter. The $200.0 million in proceeds from issuance were allocated between the Subordinated Notes and the warrants for Series B Preferred, based on their relative
fair values, resulting in an original issue discount of $65.9 million. The allocated value of the Subordinated Notes at date of issuance, plus accrued interest on the face value and accreted interest on the original issue discount, are reflected as
long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Series B Preferred was determined with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, and the allocated fair value is reflected in additional paid-in
capital in stockholders deficit in our consolidated balance sheets. The Series B Preferred were converted into common stock in December 2004 and were retired by our Board of Directors in December 2005.

Debt Covenants

The provisions of our Revolving Facility and
Subordinated Notes contain a number of covenants including, but not limited to, restricting or limiting our ability to incur more debt, pay dividends and repurchase stock (subject to financial measures and other conditions). The ability to comply
with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our debt agreements and could trigger acceleration of repayment. As of and during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Facility and Subordinated Notes, as applicable.

Future Principal Payments

As of September 30, 2006, aggregate future principal payments of long-term
debt were zero in 2006, 2007, and 2008, and $401.9 million in 2009, consisting of $200.0 million in principal and $201.9 million of accrued non-cash interest, with no payments due thereafter. The weighted average interest rate applicable to our
outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and Subordinated Notes was 15.0% as of September 30, 2006 and 13.53% as of December 31, 2005.

Commitments and Contingencies

Our customer contracts generally span multiple periods, which result in us entering into arrangements
with various suppliers of communications services that require us to maintain minimum spending levels, some of which increase over time, to secure favorable

pricing terms. Our remaining aggregate minimum spending levels, allocated ratably over the terms of such contracts, are
$20.6 million in year 2006; $46.4 million in year 2007; $8.3 million in year 2008; and $95.0 million thereafter. Should we not meet the minimum spending requirements, decreasing termination liabilities, representing a percentage of the remaining
contracted amount, may become immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of these termination liabilities are subject to reduction should we experience certain circumstances such as the loss of a major customer or loss of revenue from a
general economic downturn. Before considering the effects of any potential reductions for the business downturn provisions, if we had terminated all of these agreements as of September 30, 2006, the maximum liability would have been
$170.3 million.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and other actions in the normal course of business. While the results of such proceedings
and actions cannot be predicted, management believes, based on facts known to management today, that the ultimate outcome of such proceedings and actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.

We have employment agreements with key executive officers that contain provisions with regard to base salary, bonus,
stock-based compensation, and other employee benefits. These agreements also provide for severance benefits in the event of employment termination or a change in control.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain guarantees and
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as letters of credit, indemnifications and operating leases, which are not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. The agreements associated with such guarantees and financial instruments
mature at various dates through July 2017 and may be renewed as circumstances warrant. As of September 30, 2006, we had $9.6 million in letters of credit pledged as collateral to support various property and equipment leases and utilities. In
addition, certain of the operating leases assumed by us in the CWA asset acquisition were collateralized by Cable & Wireless plc with letters of credit and guarantees. Such collateral remained in place following the acquisition and we
agreed to reimburse Cable & Wireless plc for any payments made under the collateral. Such collateral totals $2.1 million and will be replaced by us on or before July 2007. Our financial instruments are valued based on the amount of exposure
under the instruments and the likelihood of performance being required. In our past experience, no claims have been made against these financial instruments nor do we expect the exposure to material losses resulting therefrom to be anything other
than remote. As a result, we determined such financial instruments did not have significant value and have not recorded any related amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents our undiscounted contractual cash obligations as of September 30, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Share-Based Payments

As of September 30, 2006, we had two share-based compensation plans  the 2003 Plan and the 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the 1999 Plan), collectively
referred to herein as the Plans. The Plans provide for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units, dividend equivalent rights and cash awards. Any of these awards may be granted as
incentives to reward and encourage individual contributions to our company. On July 6, 2006, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors increased the shares authorized under the Plans by 3 million shares, subject to stockholder
approval of such increase. As of September 30, 2006 and with such increase, the Plans had 12.1 million shares authorized for grants of share-based instruments.



28

##### Table of Contents

Stock options generally expire 10 years from the date of the grant and have graded vesting over four years. Restricted
stock awards granted to non-employee directors have graded vesting over three years. Restricted stock units granted to certain employees have included performance features and graded vesting expected over periods up to four years. Restricted
preferred units granted to certain executives have graded vesting over four years.

We recognize compensation expense over the vesting period for
share-based awards. We recognized total non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $7.9 million and $12.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The majority of these amounts were reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the remainder included in cost of
revenue. As of September 30, 2006, we had $112.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation that is expected to be ultimately recognized, which includes 1.1 million restricted stock units,
approximately 0.1 million shares of restricted common stock, 3.9 million stock options that have a weighted average exercise price of $28.07 per share, and restricted preferred units for 1.3 million common shares that have a weighted
average exercise price of $8.37 per common share. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based awards under those plans using the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As such, we only recognized compensation cost for share-based awards to the
extent such awards were issued with an exercise price below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), Share-Based
Payment, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under such method, compensation cost recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes
a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and b) compensation cost for all
share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated for the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, our net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $4.8 million and
$5.4 million higher, respectively, and basic and diluted loss per common share was $0. 09 and $0.21 higher, respectively, than if we had continued to account for share-based awards under APB 25 and follow the disclosure provisions only of SFAS 123.
Prior to and after the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we have not realized the tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of share-based awards due to our history of net operating losses.

In addition, in December 2005, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the compensation committee of our Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of certain
unvested and out-of-the-money stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $11.25 per share previously awarded to employees, including certain executive officers and non-employee directors, under the Plans. The
acceleration of vesting was effective for stock options outstanding as of December 13, 2005. Options to purchase approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock, including approximately 0.4 million options held by executive officers
and approximately 0.1 million options held by non-employee directors, were subject to the acceleration, which resulted in 92% of our outstanding options being vested. The purpose of the acceleration was to enable us to minimize the amount of
compensation expense recognized in association with these options in our consolidated statements of operations upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). We believe that the aggregate future expense that was eliminated as a result of the acceleration of the
vesting of these options was approximately $11.2 million. We also believed that because the options that were accelerated had exercise prices in excess of the market value of our common stock on the date of acceleration, the options had limited
economic value and were not fully achieving their original objective of incentive compensation and employee retention.

Other Critical Accounting
Policies

While all of the significant accounting policies described in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained
elsewhere herein are important, some of these policies may be viewed as being critical. Such policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require our most difficult, subjective or complex estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. For further
information regarding the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and Part II, Item 7 of the 2005 Form 10-K.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a
company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not
believe the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September
2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value techniques to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also provides
for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other
standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating
the impact of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to market risks arising from changes in interest rates that affect our variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2006, we had no outstanding principal
amount due under our Revolving Facility. However, amounts available for borrowings under the Revolving Facility would bear interest at LIBOR rates plus an applicable margin. Interest expense on amounts borrowed fluctuates as LIBOR rates fluctuate.
The interest rate associated with our Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2006, which had no outstanding balance as of such date, was 8.1%.

There
have been no other material changes in our assessment of market risk sensitivity since our presentation of Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries)
required to be included in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and actions in the normal course of business.
While the results of such proceedings and actions cannot be predicted, management believes, based on facts known to management today, that the ultimate outcome of such proceedings and actions will not have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision.
The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, in which case you could lose all or part of your investment. You should also refer to the other information in this filing, including our condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently believe may materially affect our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we currently deem immaterial also may
become important factors that affect our Company.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of net losses and we expect to continue to incur net losses.

We incurred a net loss of $37.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, $69.1 million in fiscal year 2005, and $148.8 million in fiscal year 2004. We had positive cash flows from operating activities of $77.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, $62.9 million in fiscal year 2005, and negative cash flows from operations of $26.8 million in fiscal year 2004. We may also have fluctuations in revenues, expenses and losses due to a number of factors including the following:



| |  |  | demand for and market acceptance of our hosting, network, media services, industry solutions, and professional services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing sales, marketing and other operating expenses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to retain key employees that maintain relationships with our customers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the duration of the sales cycle for our services;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced services by our competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acquisitions we may make;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the prices we pay for utilities, local access connections, Internet connectivity and longhaul backbone connections; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures, including costs relating to the expansion of operations, and of the replacement or upgrade of our hosting infrastructure.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accordingly, our results of operations for any period may not be comparable to the results of operations for any other period and should not
be relied upon as indications of future performance.

We have experienced revenue losses from reductions in services purchased by customers, price
reductions on services and customer turnover in the past and may continue to do so in the future. If we continue to experience such revenue loss without a corresponding growth in new customers or services, our revenues would decrease.

Revenue loss occurs for several reasons, such as individual site reductions in customer networks, price reductions, voluntary termination by customers who
choose to switch to a competing service and termination by us for nonpayment of bills or abuse of the network by our customers. While our experience in fiscal year 2005 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006, has been of market pricing
stabilizing in some of the services we offer and in some cases increasing, we have experienced revenue loss in the past and, as our customer base grows, these revenue losses may recur. If, in the future, we were to lose a large number of customers
without signing contracts with new customers, our revenues would decrease.

A material reduction in revenue from our largest customer, who represented
15% of our revenues in 2005 and 12% of our revenues in the first nine months of 2006, could harm our financial results to the extent not offset by cost reductions or new customers.

Together, Reuters Limited (Reuters) and Telerate, which was acquired by Reuters in 2005, accounted for $100.5 million, or 15%, of our revenue in 2005 compared to $122.0 million, or 20%, of our revenue in 2004, and
$66.9 million, or 12%, of our revenue for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $76.5 million, or 15%, of our revenue in the first nine months of 2005. This reduction was primarily due to reduced pricing for certain of our services, the
elimination of minimum revenue commitments based on the terms of a new three-year Master Services Agreement with Reuters that we entered into in May 2005, and the reduction in services purchased by Reuters



31

##### Table of Contents

under our contract with Telerate. Under the new Master Services Agreement with Reuters, Reuters no longer has any
obligation to purchase a minimum amount of our services, and there are no assurances that Reuters will continue to purchase services from us under this contract. In addition, Reuters, which now owns Telerate will continue to reduce the services that
we provide under our contract with Telerate to almost zero over the next six to nine months. The loss of this customer or a significant group of our other customers, or a considerable reduction in the amount of our services that Reuters purchases or
a significant group of our customers purchase, could materially reduce our revenues which, to the extent not offset by cost reductions or new customer additions, could materially reduce our cash flows and financial position. This may limit our
ability to raise capital or fund our operations, working capital needs and capital expenditures in the future.

Our failure to meet performance
standards under our agreements could result in our customers terminating their relationships with us or our customers being entitled to receive financial compensation which could lead to reduced revenues.

Our agreements with our customers contain various guarantees regarding our performance and our levels of service. If we fail to provide the levels of service or
performance required by our agreements, our customers may be able to receive service credits for their accounts and other financial compensation, as well as terminate their relationship with us. In addition, any inability to meet our service level
commitments or other performance standards could reduce the confidence of our customers and could consequently impair our ability to obtain and retain customers, which would adversely affect both our ability to generate revenues and our operating
results.

We depend on a number of third-party providers, and the loss of, or problems with, one or more of these providers may impede our growth or
cause us to lose customers.

We are dependent on third-party providers to supply products and services. For example, we lease equipment from equipment
providers and we lease bandwidth capacity from telecommunications network providers in the quantities and quality we require. While we have entered into various agreements for equipment and carrier line capacity, any failure to obtain additional
equipment or capacity, if required, would impede the growth of our business and cause our financial results to suffer. In addition, our customers that use the equipment we lease or the services of these telecommunication providers may in the future
experience difficulties due to failures unrelated to our systems. If, for any reason, these providers fail to provide the required services to our customers or suffer other failures, we may incur financial losses and our customers may lose
confidence in our company, and we may not be able to retain these customers.

Our significant indebtedness could limit our ability to operate our
business successfully.

We are highly leveraged. As of September 30, 2006, the total principal amount of our debt, including capital and financing
method lease obligations and excluding original issue discount, was $371.6 million. We expect our interest expense to be approximately $67.3 million and $74.9 million in 2006 and 2007, respectively, under our current financing arrangements. Our cash
debt service obligation for our existing debt as of September 30, 2006, is approximately $14.7 million and $15.1 million in 2006 and 2007, respectively. In February 2004, we issued $200.0 million in Series A Subordinated Notes
(Subordinated Notes) that accrued interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum until February 3, 2005, and thereafter at 15% per annum in order to finance our acquisition of the assets of Cable & Wireless USA, Inc. and
Cable & Wireless Internet Services, Inc., or collectively CWA, and to provide ongoing funding to its operations and capital expenditures. Interest on the notes accrues on a non-cash basis and is payable semi-annually in additional Series A
Subordinated Notes. The notes, which will have an amount payable of $401.9 million, are due on January 30, 2009. Our Revolving Credit Facility and capital lease obligations require monthly and quarterly cash payments for interest. While we do
not currently have any outstanding loans under our Revolving Facility, we have borrowing availability of $75.4 million. Our Revolving Credit Facility matures in 2008 and our capital and financing lease obligations have maturities ranging from three
to fifteen years. Our level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may not generate cash sufficient to pay, when due, the outstanding amount of our indebtedness. If we do not have sufficient cash available to repay our debt obligations
when they mature, we will have to refinance such obligations, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such refinancing or that the terms of any refinancing will be acceptable to us. The amount of our debt also means that we will
need to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of our indebtedness, reducing the funds available for operations, working capital, capital expenditures, sales and marketing initiatives, acquisitions, and
general corporate or other purposes.

We may not be able to secure additional financing on favorable terms to meet our future capital needs.

If we do not have sufficient cash flow from our operations, we may need to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings in the future in
order to meet our operating and capital needs. We may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may not be able to
pursue our growth strategy and our business could suffer. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of
our company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. In addition, any debt financing that we may secure in the future could have restrictive covenants
relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, if we
decide to raise funds through debt or convertible debt financings, we may be unable to meet our interest or principal payments.

##### Table of Contents

We may make acquisitions or enter into joint ventures or strategic alliances, each of which is accompanied by inherent
risks.

If appropriate opportunities present themselves, we may make acquisitions or investments or enter into joint ventures or strategic alliances
with other companies. Risks commonly encountered in such transactions include:



| |  |  | the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the combined companies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that we may not be able to integrate the acquired services, products or technologies with our current services, products and technologies;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the potential disruption of our ongoing business;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the diversion of management attention from our existing business;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inability of management to maximize our financial and strategic position through the successful integration of acquired businesses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the difficulty of maintaining controls, procedures and policies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the impairment of relationships with employees, suppliers and customers as a result of any integration;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the loss of an acquired base of customers and accompanying revenue; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the assumption of leased facilities, or other long-term commitments that could have a material adverse impact on our profitability and cash flow.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of these potential problems and risks, businesses that we may acquire or invest in may not produce the revenue, earnings, or business synergies that we
anticipated. In addition, we cannot assure you that any potential transaction will be successfully identified and completed or that, if completed, the acquired businesses or investment will generate sufficient revenue to offset the associated costs
or other potential harmful effects on our business.

We may be liable for the material that content providers
distribute over our network.

The law relating to the liability of private network operators for information carried on, stored or disseminated through
their networks is still unsettled. We may become subject to legal claims relating to the content disseminated on our network. For example, lawsuits may be brought against us claiming that material on our network on which someone relied was
inaccurate. Claims could also involve matters such as defamation, invasion of privacy, and copyright infringement. In addition, there are other issues such as online gambling where the legal issues remain uncertain. If we need to take costly
measures to reduce our exposure to these risks, or are required to defend ourselves against such claims, our financial results could be negatively affected.

Failures in our products or services, including our network and colocation services, could disrupt our ability to provide services, increase our capital costs, result in a loss of customers or otherwise negatively affect our
business.

Our ability to implement our business plan successfully depends upon our ability to provide high quality, reliable services. Interruptions in
our ability to provide our services to our customers or failures in our products or services, through the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problem, could adversely affect our business and reputation. For example, problems at
one or more of our data center facilities could result in service interruptions or failures or could cause significant equipment damage. In addition, our network could be subject to unauthorized access, computer viruses, and other disruptive
problems caused by customers, employees, or others. Unauthorized access, computer viruses or other disruptive problems could lead to interruptions, delays or cessation of service to our customers. Unauthorized access could also potentially
jeopardize the security of confidential information of our customers or our customers end-users, which might expose us to liability from customers and the government agencies that regulate us, as well as deter potential customers from
purchasing our services. Any internal or external breach in our network could severely harm our business and result in costly litigation and potential liability for us. Although we attempt to limit these risks contractually, there can be no
assurance that we will limit the risk and not incur financial penalties. To the extent our customers demand that we accept unlimited liability and to the extent there is a competitive trend to accept it, such a trend could affect our ability to
retain these limitations in our contracts at the risk of losing the business. In addition, we may be unable to implement disaster recovery or security measures in a timely manner or, if and when implemented, these measures may not be sufficient or
could be circumvented through the reoccurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problem, or as a result of accidental or intentional actions. Resolving network failures or alleviating security problems may also require interruptions,
delays or cessation of service to our customers. Accordingly, failures in our products and services, including problems at our data centers, network interruptions or breaches of security on our network may result in significant liability, a loss of
customers and damage to our reputation.

Increased energy costs, power outages and limited availability of electrical resources may adversely affect our
operating results.

Our data centers are susceptible to regional costs of power and electrical power outages. We attempt to limit exposure to system
downtime by using backup generators and power supplies. However, we may not be able to limit our exposure entirely even with these protections in place. In addition, we may not always be able to pass on the increased costs of energy to our
customers, which could harm our business. Furthermore, power and cooling requirements at our data centers are increasing as a result of the increasing power demands of todays servers. Since we rely on third parties to provide our data centers
with power sufficient to meet our customers power needs, and we generally do not control the amount of power drawn by our customers, our data centers could have a limited or inadequate amount of electrical resources. This could adversely
affect our relationships with our customers and hinder our ability to run our data centers, which could harm our business.

Our failure to successfully implement our growth strategy could harm our business.

Our growth strategy depends on our ability to identify,
hire, train and retain IT professionals, technical engineers, operations employees, sales and senior management personnel who maintain relationships with our customers and who can provide the technical, strategic and marketing skills required for
our company to grow. There is a shortage of qualified personnel in these fields, and we compete with other companies for the limited pool of these personnel. Furthermore, our growth strategy includes expanding our colocation business. Increasing our
colocation business depends on our ability to either raise prices to existing customers or lease or acquire facilities in the desired markets where there is a demand for these services on commercially reasonable terms. There is no assurance that we
will be able to recruit or retain qualified personnel or that we will be able to lease or acquire facilities in growth markets on commercially reasonable terms, and this failure to implement our growth strategy could cause our operations and
financial results to be negatively impacted.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights.

We rely upon a combination of internal and external nondisclosure safeguards including confidentiality agreements as well as trade secret laws to protect
our proprietary rights. We cannot however assure you that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to
enforce our intellectual property rights. We also are subject to the risk of litigation alleging infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. Any such claims could require us to spend significant sums in litigation, pay damages, develop
non-infringing intellectual property, or acquire licenses to the intellectual property that is the subject of the alleged infringement.

Difficulties
presented by international economic, political, legal, accounting and business factors could harm our business in international markets.

For the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, 16% of our total revenue was generated in countries outside of the United States. Some risks inherent in conducting business internationally include:



| |  |  | unexpected changes in regulatory, tax and political environments;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer payment cycles and problems collecting accounts receivables;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to secure and maintain the necessary physical and telecommunications infrastructure;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | challenges in staffing and managing foreign operations; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | laws and regulations on content distributed over the Internet that are more restrictive than those currently in place in the United States.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any one or more of these factors could adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to Our Industry

The markets for our hosting, network, professional and digital content services are highly competitive,
and we may not be able to compete effectively.

The markets for our hosting, network, professional and digital content services are extremely
competitive, and there are few significant barriers to entry. We expect that competition will intensify in the future, and we may not have the financial resources, technical expertise, sales and marketing abilities or support capabilities to compete
successfully in these markets. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases and greater market presence, engineering and marketing capabilities and
financial, technological and personnel resources than we do. As a result, as compared to us, our competitors may:



| |  |  | develop and expand their networking infrastructures and service offerings more efficiently or more quickly;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



34



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | adapt more rapidly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | develop products and services that are superior to ours or have greater market acceptance;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the promotion, marketing, sale, research and development of their products and services;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make more attractive offers to our existing and potential employees;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establish cooperative relationships with each other or with third parties; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | more effectively take advantage of existing relationships with customers or exploit a more widely recognized brand name to market and sell their services.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our failure to achieve desired price levels could impact our ability to achieve profitability or positive cash flow.

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience pricing pressure for some of the services that we offer. Prices for voice, wireless, and Internet
services have decreased in recent years, and we expect significant price declines in the future. In addition, by bundling their services and reducing the overall cost of their services, telecommunications companies that compete with us may be able
to provide customers with reduced communications costs in connection with their hosting, data networking or Internet access services, thereby significantly increasing pricing pressure on us. We may not be able to offset the effects of any such price
reductions even with an increase in the number of our customers, higher revenues from enhanced services, cost reductions or otherwise. In addition, we believe that the data networking and VPNs and Internet access and hosting industries are likely to
continue to encounter consolidation which could result in greater efficiencies in the future. Increased price competition or consolidation in these markets could result in erosion of our revenues and operating margins and could prevent us from
becoming profitable. Furthermore, in recent months, these larger consolidated telecommunication providers have indicated that they want to start charging companies delivering services over the Internet for access to connected customers. If these
providers are able to charge companies such as us for this, our costs will increase, and this could impact our results of operations.

Consolidation in the telecommunications industry may impede our ability to compete effectively.

Recently, several
telecommunication companies completed mergers with other telecommunication companies, including the mergers of SBC Communications Inc. with AT&T Corp. and Verizon Communications, Inc. with MCI, Inc. This consolidation in the telecommunications
industry results in fewer companies competing in this market, changing the nature of the market and possibly causing us to pay higher prices for the services that we receive from these companies, which may impede our ability to compete effectively.

Our operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain peering arrangements with Internet Service Providers on favorable terms.

We enter into peering agreements with Internet Service Providers that allow us to access the Internet and exchange traffic with these providers.
Previously, many providers agreed to exchange traffic without charging each other. Recently, however, many providers that previously offered peering have reduced peering relationships or are seeking to impose charges for transit. For example,
several network operators with large numbers of individual users claim that they should be able to charge network operators and businesses that send traffic to those users. Increases in costs associated with Internet and exchange traffic could have
an adverse effect on our business. If we are not able to maintain our peering relationships on favorable terms, we may not be able to provide our customers with affordable services, which would adversely affect our results from operations.

New technologies could displace our services or render them obsolete.

New technologies or industry standards have the potential to replace or provide lower cost alternatives to our hosting, networking and Internet access services. The
adoption of such new technologies or industry standards could render our technology and services obsolete or unmarketable or require us to incur significant capital expenditures to expand and upgrade our technology to meet new standards. We cannot
guarantee that we will be able to identify new service opportunities successfully, or if identified, be able to develop and bring new products and services to market in a timely and cost-effective manner. In addition, we cannot guarantee that
services or technologies developed by others will not render our current and future services non-competitive or obsolete or that our current and future services will achieve or sustain market acceptance or be able to address effectively the
compatibility and interoperability issues raised by technological changes or new industry standards. If we fail to anticipate the emergence of, or obtain access to a new technology or industry standard, we may incur increased costs if we seek to use
those technologies and standards, or our competitors that use such technologies and standards may use them more cost-effectively than we do.

##### Table of Contents

The data networking and Internet access industries are highly regulated in many of the countries in which we currently
operate or plan to provide services, which could restrict our ability to conduct business in the United States and internationally.

We are subject to
varying degrees of regulation in each of the jurisdictions in which we provide services. Local laws and regulations, and their interpretation and enforcement, differ significantly among those jurisdictions. Future regulatory, judicial and
legislative changes may have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver services within various jurisdictions. For example, the European Union enacted a data retention scheme that, once implemented by individual member states, will involve
requirements to retain certain IP data that could have an impact on our operations in Europe. Moreover, national regulatory frameworks that are consistent with the policies and requirements of the World Trade Organization have only recently been, or
are still being, put in place in many countries. Accordingly, many countries are still in the early stages of providing for and adapting to a liberalized telecommunications market. As a result, in these markets we may encounter more protracted and
difficult procedures to obtain licenses.

Within the United States, the U.S. government continues to evaluate the data networking and Internet access
industries. The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, has a number of on-going proceedings that could impact our ability to provide services. For example, the FCC recently determined that the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
applies to facilities-based broadband access providers. Such regulations and policies may complicate our efforts to provide services in the future. Our operations are dependent on licenses and authorizations from governmental authorities in most of
the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate or plan to operate and, with respect to a limited number of our services, in the United States. These licenses and authorizations generally will contain clauses pursuant to which we may be fined or our
license may be revoked on short notice. Consequently, we may not be able to obtain or retain the licenses necessary for our operations.

Risks Related
to Our Common Stock

We are controlled by parties whose interests may not be aligned with yours.

Investment partnerships sponsored by Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (Welsh Carson) own approximately 55% of our outstanding voting stock, and hold approximately
$166.1 million of our Series A Subordinated Notes as of September 30, 2006. Furthermore, the Series A Subordinated Notes contain provisions relating to a change of control of our company. These factors, among others, could result in decisions
concerning our operations or financial structure that may present conflicts of interest between Welsh Carson and its affiliates and our other common stockholders.

Sales of a significant amount of our common stock in the public market could reduce our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings.

We have approximately 51.3 million shares of common stock outstanding as of October 27, 2006. The holders of 42.1 million shares of our common stock are also entitled to certain registration rights.
Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that those sales will occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Those sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell
equity and equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we consider appropriate.

Our stock
price is subject to significant volatility.

Since September 2005 until the present, the price per share of our common stock has ranged from a high of
$32.59 per share to a low of $7.80 per share. Our stock price has been and may continue to be subject to significant volatility due to sales of our securities by significant shareholders and the other risks and uncertainties described or
incorporated by reference herein. The price of our common stock may also fluctuate due to conditions in the technology industry or in the financial markets generally.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage a takeover.

Our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law contain provisions which may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, including provisions that give the
Board of Directors the power to issue shares of preferred stock. We have also chosen to be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, subject to certain exceptions, prevents a stockholder of more than 15% of a
companys voting stock from entering into business combinations set forth under Section 203 with that company.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we
issued 243,073 shares of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. The warrants were issued on a cashless basis and the issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to section 3(a)(9)
thereof. In July and August of 2006, we granted options to purchase 3.4 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan with the exercise prices between $25.09 and $30.01 per share. These issuances were
effected in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

On August 29, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved a form of employment,
confidentiality, severance and non-competition agreement for executives.

The agreement generally provides that, if an executives employment is
terminated by us other than for cause or by the executive for good reason, the executive will receive 12 months of salary continuation, a prorated annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs at the discretion of the Compensation
Committee, and 12 months of medical coverage. The agreement also generally provides that, if within 12 months following a change in control (as defined in the agreement), the executives employment is terminated by us other than for cause or by
the executive for good reason, the executive will receive the compensation described above and the executives existing equity awards will vest in full. In addition, the agreement contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that
extend through the first anniversary of termination of employment, regardless of the reason for termination.

The form of the agreement is included as
Exhibit 10.3 to this quarterly report and the above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such form.

In addition, on November 1,
2006, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in the annual base salary of James Mori, a named executive officer and our companys Managing Director- Americas, from $250,000 to $270,000, effective as of October 1, 2006. The
increase in base salary was part of our annual compensation review process for all employees.
