                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

         You should read the following summary together with the more detailed
information, including the consolidated financial statements and the notes to
the consolidated financial statements and other information, incorporated herein
by reference to this prospectus.

         As of December 31, 2003, we managed two primary lines of business. One
line consists of our historical network of three wholly-owned businesses, each
of which specializes in the games business by delivering games information and
selling games in the United States and abroad. These businesses are: our print
publication Computer Games Magazine; our Computer Games Online website
(www.cgonline.com), which is the online counterpart to Computer Games Magazine;
and our Chips & Bits, Inc. (www.chipsbits.com) games distribution company.
Management of the Company continues to actively explore a number of strategic
alternatives for our online and offline game properties, including continuing
these operations or selling some or all of these properties.

         The second line of business, which we recently began, is our VoIP
telephony services and includes voiceglo Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary, that offers VoIP-based phone service. The term "VoIP", which means
"Voice over the Internet Protocol", refers to a category of hardware and
software that enables people to use the Internet to make phone calls.

         As of December 31, 2003, our revenue sources were principally from the
sale of print advertising in our Computer Games magazine; the sale of video
games and related products through Chips & Bits, Inc., our games distribution
business; and the sale of our Computer Games magazine through newsstands and
subscriptions. Management's intent, going forward, is to devote substantial
monetary, management and human resources to our "voiceglo" VoIP business.

         Described below are certain significant transactions and events
regarding our company which occurred in the last two years.

         On June 1, 2002, Chairman Michael S. Egan and Director Edward A.
Cespedes became our Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively.

         On November 14, 2002, we acquired certain VoIP assets from Brian Fowler
(now our Chief Technology Officer) and we are now pursuing opportunities related
to this acquisition under the brand name "voiceglo".

         On May 28, 2003, we acquired Direct Partner Telecom, Inc. ("DPT"). DPT
was a specialized international communications carrier providing VoIP
communications services to emerging countries. We acquired all of the physical
assets and intellectual property of DPT and originally planned to continue to
operate the company as a subsidiary and engage in the provision of VoIP services
to other telephony businesses on a wholesale transactional basis. In the first
quarter of 2004 we decided to suspend further wholesale telephony business in
DPT and to dedicate the DPT physical and intellectual assets to our developing
retail VoIP business.



         In March 2004, we completed a private offering of 333,816 units for a
purchase price of $85 per unit (the "PIPE Offering"). Each unit consisted of 100
shares of the Company's Common Stock, and warrants to acquire 50 shares of the
Common Stock at an exercise price of $.001 per share. The aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock issued in the PIPE Offering was 33,381,647 shares for an
aggregate consideration of $28,374,400, or approximately $0.57 per share
assuming the exercise of the 16,690,824 warrants. The purpose of the PIPE
Offering was to raise funds for use primarily in our developing voiceglo
business, including the deployment of networks, website development, marketing,
and capital infrastructure expenditures and working capital. We were obligated
to file the registration statement, of which the prospectus is a part, pursuant
to the terms of PIPE Offering.

         Most of our investors from prior capital raises also elected to
register their shares for resale pursuant to the registration statement. The
registration statement, which related to the resale of up to approximately 131
million of our shares (including approximately 27 million shares underlying
outstanding warrants to acquire our Common Stock), became effective on May 11,
2004.

         On September 1, 2004, we closed on the acquisition of SendTec, Inc., an
advertising and direct response marketing services company based in Tampa,
Florida (the "SendTec Acquisition"). In exchange for the acquisition of SendTec
we paid consideration consisting of: (i) $6,000,000 in cash, (ii) the issuance
of an aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of our common stock, (iii) the issuance of
an aggregate of 175,000 shares of our Series H Automatically Converting
Preferred Stock (which is convertible into 17,500,000 shares of our common
stock), and (iv) a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $1 million. In
addition, warrants to acquire shares of common stock would be issued to SendTec
shareholders when and if SendTec exceeds forecasted operating income, as
defined, of $10.125 million, for the year ending December 31, 2005. The number
of earn-out warrants would range from an aggregate of 250,000 to 2,500,000 (if
actual operating income exceeds the forecast by at least 10%).

         Our executive offices are located at 110 East Broward Blvd., Suite
1400, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301. Our telephone number is (954) 769-5900.


                                  RISK FACTORS

         This offering and an investment in our securities involves a high
degree of risk. Investors should consider each of the risks and uncertainties
described in this section and all of the other information in this prospectus
before deciding to invest in our common stock. Our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be severely harmed by any of the following
risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline if any of these risks
and uncertainties develop into actual events. Investors may lose all or part of
the money paid to buy our common stock.

                                       2


RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS GENERALLY

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES.

         Since our inception, we have incurred net losses in each quarter,
except the fourth quarter of 2002 where we had net income of approximately
$17,000. We expect that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable
future. We had net losses of approximately $11 million and $2.6 million for the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and approximately $10.0
million for the first half of 2004. The principal causes of our losses are
likely to continue to be:

         o        costs resulting from the operation of our businesses;

         o        costs relating to entering new business lines;

         o        failure to generate sufficient revenue; and

         o        selling, general and administrative expenses.

         Although we have restructured our businesses, we still expect to
continue to incur losses as we develop our VoIP telephony services business and
while we explore a number of strategic alternatives for our online and offline
games properties, including continuing to operate the properties, acquisition or
development of additional businesses or complementary products, selling some or
all of the properties or other changes to our business.

OUR ENTRY INTO A NEW LINE OF BUSINESS, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL FUTURE ACQUISITIONS,
JOINT VENTURES OR STRATEGIC TRANSACTIONS ENTAILS NUMEROUS RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. WE MAY ENTER ADDITIONAL LINES OF BUSINESS.

         We have entered into a new business line, VoIP telephony services. In
November 2002, we acquired certain VoIP assets from an entrepreneur in exchange
for 1,750,000 warrants to purchase our common stock. On May 28, 2003, we
acquired Direct Partner Telecom, Inc. ("DPT"), an international licensed
telecommunications carrier then engaged in the purchase and resale of
telecommunication services over the Internet. We may also enter into new or
different lines of business, as determined by management and our Board of
Directors. The acquisitions of VoIP assets and of DPT, as well as any future
acquisitions or joint ventures could result, and in some instances have resulted
(particularly as it pertains to DPT), in numerous risks and uncertainties,
including:

         o        potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, which may
                  be issued at the time of the transaction or in the future if
                  certain performance or other criteria are met or not met, as
                  the case may be. These securities may be freely tradable in
                  the public market or subject to registration rights which
                  could require us to publicly register a large amount of our
                  Common Stock, which could have a material adverse effect on
                  our stock price;

         o        diversion of management's attention and resources from our
                  existing businesses;

         o        significant write-offs if we determine that the business
                  acquisition does not fit or perform up to expectations;

                                       3


         o        the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities or
                  impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible
                  assets;

         o        difficulties in the assimilation of operations, personnel,
                  technologies, products and information systems of the acquired
                  companies;

         o        the risks of entering a new or different line of business;

         o        regulatory and tax risks relating to the new or acquired
                  business;

         o        the risks of entering geographic and business markets in which
                  we have no or limited prior experience;

         o        the risk that the acquired business will not perform as
                  expected; and

         o        material decreases in short-term or long-term liquidity.

WE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUED GROWTH IN THE USE AND COMMERCIAL VIABILITY OF THE
INTERNET.

         Our VoIP telephony services business and games properties are
substantially dependent upon the continued growth in the general use of the
Internet. Internet and electronic commerce growth may be inhibited for a number
of reasons, including:

         o        inadequate network infrastructure;

         o        security and authentication concerns;

         o        inconsistent quality of service;

         o        inadequate availability of cost-effective, high-speed service;
                  and

         o        inadequate bandwidth availability.

         As web usage grows, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to
support the demands placed on it by this growth or its performance and
reliability may decline. Websites have experienced interruptions in their
service as a result of outages and other delays occurring throughout the
Internet network infrastructure. If these outages or delays frequently occur in
the future, web usage, as well as usage of our services, could grow more slowly
or decline. Also, the Internet's commercial viability may be significantly
hampered due to:

         o        delays in the development or adoption of new operating and
                  technical standards and performance improvements required to
                  handle increased levels of activity;

         o        increased government regulation;

                                       4


         o        potential governmental taxation of such services; and

         o        insufficient availability of telecommunications services which
                  could result in slower response times and adversely affect
                  usage of the Internet.

WE MAY FACE INCREASED GOVERNMENT REGULATION, TAXATION AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES IN
OUR INDUSTRY, WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

         There are an increasing number of federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations pertaining to the Internet and telecommunications. In
addition, a number of federal, state, local and foreign legislative and
regulatory proposals are under consideration. Laws or regulations may be adopted
with respect to the Internet relating to, among other things, fees and taxation
of VoIP telephony services, liability for information retrieved from or
transmitted over the Internet, online content regulation, user privacy and
quality of products and services. Changes in tax laws relating to electronic
commerce could materially affect our business, prospects and financial
condition. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws
governing issues such as intellectual property ownership and infringement,
copyright, trademark, trade secret, obscenity, libel, employment and personal
privacy is uncertain and developing. Any new legislation or regulation, or the
application or interpretation of existing laws or regulations, may decrease the
growth in the use of the Internet or VoIP telephony services, may impose
additional burdens on electronic commerce or may alter how we do business. This
could decrease the demand for our existing or proposed services, increase our
cost of doing business, increase the costs of products sold through the Internet
or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, plans, prospects,
results of operations and financial condition.

         Our ability to offer VoIP services outside the U.S. is also subject to
the local regulatory environment, which may be complicated and often uncertain.
Regulatory treatment of Internet telephony outside the United States varies from
country to country.

WE RELY ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

         We regard substantial elements of our websites and underlying
technology, as well as certain assets relating to our VoIP business and other
opportunities we are investigating, as proprietary and attempt to protect them
by relying on intellectual property laws and restrictions on disclosure. We also
generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and
consultants. In connection with our license agreements with third parties, we
generally seek to control access to and distribution of our technology and other
proprietary information. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a
third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information
without authorization or to develop similar technology independently. Thus, we
cannot assure you that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation or
infringement of our proprietary information, which could have an adverse effect
on our business. In addition, our competitors may independently develop similar
technology, duplicate our products, or design around our intellectual property
rights.

                                       5


         We pursue the registration of our trademarks in the United States and
internationally. We are also seeking patent protection for certain VoIP assets
which we acquired or which we have developed. However, effective intellectual
property protection may not be available in every country in which our services
are distributed or made available through the Internet. Policing unauthorized
use of our proprietary information is difficult. Legal standards relating to the
validity, enforceability and scope of protection of proprietary rights in
Internet-related businesses are also uncertain and still evolving. We cannot
assure you about the future viability or value of any of our proprietary rights.

         Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual
property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights
of others. However, we may not have sufficient funds or personnel to adequately
litigate or otherwise protect our rights. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that
our business activities will not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others,
or that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, including
claims related to providing hyperlinks to websites operated by third parties or
providing advertising on a keyword basis that links a specific search term
entered by a user to the appearance of a particular advertisement. Moreover,
from time to time, third parties may assert claims of alleged infringement by us
of their intellectual property rights. Any litigation claims or counterclaims
could impair our business because they could:

         o        be time-consuming;

         o        result in significant costs;

         o        subject us to significant liability for damages;

         o        result in invalidation of our proprietary rights;

         o        divert management's attention;

         o        cause product release delays; or

         o        require us to redesign our products or require us to enter
                  into royalty or licensing agreements that may not be available
                  on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

         We license from third parties various technologies incorporated into
our sites. We cannot assure you that these third-party technology licenses will
continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. Additionally,
we cannot assure you that the third parties from which we license our technology
will be able to defend our proprietary rights successfully against claims of
infringement. As a result, our inability to obtain any of these technology
licenses could result in delays or reductions in the introduction of new
services or could adversely affect the performance of our existing services
until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed and integrated.

         The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign
countries may change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level
domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements
for holding domain names, any or all of which may dilute the strength of our
names. We may not acquire or maintain our domain names in all of the countries


                                       6


in which our websites may be accessed, or for any or all of the top-level domain
names that may be introduced. The relationship between regulations governing
domain names and laws protecting proprietary rights is unclear. Therefore, we
may not be able to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that
infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary
rights.

WE MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING BRAND AWARENESS; BRAND
IDENTITY IS CRITICAL TO OUR COMPANY.

         Our success in the Internet telephony market will depend on our ability
to create and maintain brand awareness for our product offerings. This may
require a significant amount of capital to allow us to market our products and
establish brand recognition and customer loyalty. Many of our competitors in the
Internet telephony services market are larger than us and have substantially
greater financial resources. Additionally, many of the companies offering VoIP
services have already established their brand identity within the marketplace.
We can offer no assurances that we will be successful in establishing awareness
of our brand allowing us to compete in the VoIP market.

         If we fail to promote and maintain our various brands or our games
properties' brand values are diluted, our businesses, operating results,
financial condition, and our ability to attract buyers for the games properties
could be materially adversely affected. The importance of brand recognition will
continue to increase because low barriers of entry to the industries in which we
operate may result in an increased number of direct competitors. To promote our
brands, we may be required to continue to increase our financial commitment to
creating and maintaining brand awareness. We may not generate a corresponding
increase in revenue to justify these costs.

OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS FLUCTUATE.

         Due to our significant change in operations, including the entry into a
new line of business, our historical quarterly operating results are not
necessarily reflective of future results. The factors that will cause our
quarterly operating results to fluctuate in the future include:

         o        acquisitions of new businesses or sales of our assets;

         o        declines in the number of sales or technical employees;

         o        the level of traffic on our websites;

         o        the overall demand for Internet telephony services, print
                  advertising and electronic commerce;

         o        the addition or loss of VoIP customers, advertisers on our
                  games properties and electronic commerce partners on our
                  websites;

         o        overall usage and acceptance of the Internet;

                                       7


         o        seasonal trends in advertising and electronic commerce sales
                  and member usage in our games businesses;

         o        other costs relating to the maintenance of our operations;

         o        the restructuring of our business;

         o        failure to generate significant revenues and profit margins
                  from new products and services; and

         o        competition from others providing services similar to those of
                  ours.

OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES FINANCIAL FORECASTING DIFFICULT. OUR
INEXPERIENCE IN THE INTERNET TELEPHONY BUSINESS WILL MAKE FINANCIAL FORECASTING
EVEN MORE DIFFICULT.

         We have a limited operating history for you to use in evaluating our
prospects and us. Our prospects should be considered in light of the risks
encountered by companies operating in new and rapidly evolving markets like
ours. We may not successfully address these risks. For example, we may not be
able to:

         o        maintain levels of user traffic on our e-commerce websites;

         o        attract customers to our VoIP telephony service;

         o        maintain or increase sponsorship revenues for our games
                  magazine;

         o        adapt to meet changes in our markets and competitive
                  developments; and

         o        identify, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM IS INEXPERIENCED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF A PUBLIC COMPANY.

         Only our Chairman has had experience managing a large operating
company. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that:

         o        our key employees will be able to work together effectively as
                  a team;

         o        we will be able to retain the remaining members of our
                  management team;

         o        we will be able to hire, train and manage our employee base;

         o        our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to
                  support our operations; and

         o        our management will be able to achieve the rapid execution
                  necessary to fully exploit the market opportunity for our
                  products and services.

                                       8


WE DEPEND ON HIGHLY QUALIFIED TECHNICAL AND MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL.

         Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract,
retain and motivate highly qualified technical expertise and managerial
personnel necessary to operate our businesses. We may need to give retention
bonuses and stock incentives to certain employees to keep them, which can be
costly to us. We may be unable to attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified
technical and managerial personnel in the future. Wages for managerial and
technical employees are increasing and are expected to continue to increase in
the future. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and could
continue to experience in the future if we need to hire any additional
personnel, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with
appropriate qualifications. In addition, we may have difficulty attracting
qualified employees due to our restructuring in 2000 and 2001, financial
position and scaling down of operations. Also, we may have difficulty attracting
qualified employees to work in the geographically remote location in Vermont of
Chips & Bits, Inc. and Strategy Plus, Inc. If we were unable to attract and
retain the technical and managerial personnel necessary to support and grow our
businesses, our businesses would likely be materially and adversely affected.

OUR OFFICERS, INCLUDING OUR CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT
HAVE OTHER INTERESTS AND TIME COMMITMENTS; WE HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH
SOME OF OUR DIRECTORS; ALL OF OUR DIRECTORS ARE EMPLOYEES OR STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY OR AFFILIATES OF OUR LARGEST STOCKHOLDER.

         Because our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael Egan, is
an officer or director of other companies, we have to compete for his time. Mr.
Egan became our Chief Executive Officer effective June 1, 2002. Mr. Egan is also
the controlling investor of Dancing Bear Investments, Inc., an entity controlled
by Mr. Egan, which is our largest stockholder. Mr. Egan has not committed to
devote any specific percentage of his business time with us. Accordingly, we
compete with Dancing Bear Investments, Inc. and Mr. Egan's other related
entities for his time.

         Our President and Director, Mr. Edward A. Cespedes, is also an officer
or director of other companies. Accordingly, we must compete for his time. Mr.
Cespedes is an officer or director of various privately held entities and is
also affiliated with Dancing Bear Investments.

         Our Vice President of Finance and Director, Ms. Robin Lebowitz is also
affiliated with Dancing Bear Investments. She is also an officer or director of
other companies or entities controlled by Mr. Egan and Mr. Cespedes.

         Due to the relationships with his related entities, Mr. Egan will have
an inherent conflict of interest in making any decision related to transactions
between the related entities and us. We intend to review related party
transactions in the future on a case-by-case basis.

                                       9


WE RELY ON THIRD PARTY OUTSOURCED HOSTING FACILITIES OVER WHICH WE HAVE LIMITED
CONTROL.

         Our principal servers are located in Florida and New York at third
party outsourced hosting facilities. Our operations depend on the ability to
protect our systems against damage from unexpected events, including fire, power
loss, water damage, telecommunications failures and vandalism. Any disruption in
our Internet access could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition,
computer viruses, electronic break-ins or other similar disruptive problems
could also materially adversely affect our businesses. Our reputation,
theglobe.com brand and the brands of our VoIP services business and game
properties could be materially and adversely affected by any problems
experienced by our sites or our supporting VoIP network. We may not have
insurance to adequately compensate us for any losses that may occur due to any
failures or interruptions in our systems. We do not presently have any secondary
off-site systems or a formal disaster recovery plan.

HACKERS MAY ATTEMPT TO PENETRATE OUR SECURITY SYSTEM; ONLINE SECURITY BREACHES
COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

         Consumer and supplier confidence in our businesses depends on
maintaining relevant security features. Substantial or ongoing security breaches
on our systems or other Internet-based systems could significantly harm our
business. We incur substantial expenses protecting against and remedying
security breaches. Security breaches also could damage our reputation and expose
us to a risk of loss or litigation. Experienced programmers or "hackers" have
successfully penetrated our systems and we expect that these attempts will
continue to occur from time to time. Because a hacker who is able to penetrate
our network security could misappropriate proprietary information or cause
interruptions in our products and services, we may have to expend significant
capital and resources to protect against or to alleviate problems caused by
these hackers. Additionally, we may not have a timely remedy against a hacker
who is able to penetrate our network security. Such security breaches could
materially adversely affect our company. In addition, the transmission of
computer viruses resulting from hackers or otherwise could expose us to
significant liability. Our insurance may not be adequate to reimburse us for
losses caused by security breaches. We also face risks associated with security
breaches affecting third parties with whom we have relationships.

WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO LIABILITY FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVED FROM OR TRANSMITTED
OVER THE INTERNET.

         Users may access content on our websites or the websites of our
distribution partners or other third parties through website links or other
means, and they may download content and subsequently transmit this content to
others over the Internet. This could result in claims against us based on a
variety of theories, including defamation, obscenity, negligence, copyright
infringement, trademark infringement or the wrongful actions of third parties.
Other theories may be brought based on the nature, publication and distribution
of our content or based on errors or false or misleading information provided on
our websites. Claims have been brought against online services in the past and
we have received inquiries from third parties regarding these matters. The
claims could be material in the future.

                                       10


WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO LIABILITY FOR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OVER THE INTERNET,
INCLUDING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SOLD BY OTHERS.

         We enter into agreements with commerce partners and sponsors under whom
we are entitled to receive a share of any revenue from the purchase of goods and
services through direct links from our sites. We sell products directly to
consumers which may expose us to additional legal risks, regulations by local,
state, federal and foreign authorities and potential liabilities to consumers of
these products and services, even if we do not ourselves provide these products
or services. We cannot assure you that any indemnification that may be provided
to us in some of these agreements with these parties will be adequate. Even if
these claims do not result in our liability, we could incur significant costs in
investigating and defending against these claims. The imposition of potential
liability for information carried on or disseminated through our systems could
require us to implement measures to reduce our exposure to liability. Those
measures may require the expenditure of substantial resources and limit the
attractiveness of our services. Additionally, our insurance policies may not
cover all potential liabilities to which we are exposed.

WE ARE INVOLVED IN SECURITIES CLASS ACTION LITIGATION.

         We are a party to the securities class action litigation described in
Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - "Commitments and
Contingencies". The defense of the litigation may increase our expenses and will
occupy management's attention and resources, and an adverse outcome in this
litigation could materially adversely affect us.

WE MAY HAVE TO TAKE ACTIONS TO AVOID REGISTRATION UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY
ACT.

         Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), a company
meeting the definition of an "investment company" is subject to various
stringent legal requirements on its operations. A company can become subject to
the 1940 Act if, among other reasons, it owns investment securities with a value
exceeding 40 percent of the value of its total assets (excluding government
securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, unless a particular
exemption of safe harbor applies. Although we are not currently subject to the
1940 Act, at some point in the future the percentage of our assets which consist
of investment securities may exceed 40 percent of the value of its total assets
on an unconsolidated basis. Rule 3a-2 of the 1940 Act provides a temporary
exemption from registration under the 1940 Act, for up to one year, for
companies that have a bona fide intent to engage, as soon as reasonably
possible, in business other than investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or
trading in securities ("transient investment companies"). If, due to future
sales of our assets or changes in the value of our existing assets, we become
subject to the 1940 Act, we intend to take all actions that would allow reliance
on the one-year exemption for "transient investment companies", including a
resolution by the Board of Directors that we have a bona fide intent to engage,
as soon as reasonably possible, in business other than investing, reinvesting,
owning, holding or trading in securities. After the one-year period, we would be
required to comply with the 1940 Act unless our operations and assets result in
us no longer meeting the definition of Investment Company.

                                       11


RISKS RELATING TO OUR VOICE OVER THE INTERNET BUSINESS

THE VOIP MARKET IS SUBJECT TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND WE WILL NEED TO
DEPEND ON NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS AND INNOVATIONS IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH,
MAINTAIN AND GROW OUR BUSINESS.

         VoIP is an emerging market that is characterized by rapid changes in
customer requirements, frequent introductions of new and enhanced products, and
continuing and rapid technological advances. To enter and compete successfully
in this emerging market, we must continually design, develop, manufacture, and
sell new and enhanced VoIP products and services that provide increasingly
higher levels of performance and reliability at lower costs. These new and
enhanced products must take advantage of technological advancements and changes,
and respond to new customer requirements. Our success in designing, developing
and selling such products and services will depend on a variety of factors,
including:

         o        the identification of market demand for new products;

         o        access to sufficient capital to complete our development
                  efforts;

         o        product and feature selection;

         o        timely implementation of product design and development;

         o        product performance;

         o        cost-effectiveness of products under development;

         o        securing effective manufacturing processes; and

         o        success of promotional efforts.

         Additionally, we may also be required to collaborate with third parties
to develop our products and may not be able to do so on a timely and
cost-effective basis, if at all. If we are unable, due to resource constraints
or technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new or enhanced
products in a timely manner or if such new or enhanced products do not achieve
sufficient market acceptance, our operating results will suffer and our business
will not grow.

OUR ABILITY AND PLANS TO PROVIDE TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES AT ATTRACTIVE RATES
ARISE IN LARGE PART FROM THE FACT VOIP SERVICES ARE NOT CURRENTLY SUBJECT TO THE
SAME REGULATION AS TRADITIONAL TELEPHONY.

         Because their services are not currently regulated to the same extent
as traditional telephony, VoIP providers can currently avoid paying charges that
traditional telephone companies must pay. Many traditional telephone operators
are lobbying the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the states to
regulate VoIP on the same or similar basis as traditional telephone services.
The FCC and several states are examining this issue.

                                       12


         If the FCC or any state determines to regulate VoIP, they may impose
surcharges, taxes or additional regulations upon providers of Internet
telephony. These surcharges could include access charges payable to local
exchange carriers to carry and terminate traffic, contributions to the Universal
Service Fund or other charges. Regulations requiring compliance with the
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or provision of enhanced 911
services could also place a significant financial burden on us. The imposition
of any such additional fees, charges, taxes, licenses and regulations on VoIP
services could materially increase our costs and may reduce or eliminate the
competitive pricing advantage we seek to enjoy.

THE INTERNET TELEPHONY BUSINESS IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND ALSO COMPETES WITH
TRADITIONAL AND CELLULAR TELEPHONY PROVIDERS.

         The long distance telephony market and the Internet telephony market
are highly competitive. There are several large and numerous small competitors
and we expect to face continuing competition based on price and service
offerings from existing competitors and new market entrants in the future. The
principal competitive factors in our market include price, quality of service,
breadth of geographic presence, customer service, reliability, network size and
capacity, and the availability of enhanced communications services. Our
competitors include major and emerging telecommunications carriers in the U.S.
and abroad. Financial difficulties in the past several years of many
telecommunications providers are rapidly altering the number, identity and
competitiveness of the marketplace. Many of the competitors for our current and
planned VoIP service offerings have substantially greater financial, technical
and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories,
greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than
we have. As a result, certain of these competitors may be able to adopt more
aggressive pricing policies which could hinder our ability to market our voice
services.

         During the past several years, a number of companies have introduced
services that make Internet telephony or voice services over the Internet
available to businesses and consumers. All major telecommunications companies,
including entities like AT&T, Sprint and MCI, as well as ITXC, iBasis, Net2Phone
and deltathree.com either presently or potentially route traffic to destinations
worldwide and compete or can compete directly with us. Other Internet telephony
service providers focus on a retail customer base and compete with us. These
companies may offer the kinds of voice services we currently offer or intend to
offer in the future. In addition, companies currently in related markets have
begun to provide voice over the Internet services or adapt their products to
enable voice over the Internet services. These related companies may potentially
migrate into the Internet telephony market as direct competitors. A number of
cable operators have also begun to offer VoIP telephony services via cable
modems which provide access to the Internet. These companies, which tend to be
large entities with substantial resources, generally have large budgets
available for research and development, and therefore may further enhance the
quality and acceptance of the transmission of voice over the Internet. We also
compete with cellular telephony providers.

                                       13


WE ARE UNABLE TO PREDICT THE VOLUME OF USAGE AND OUR CAPACITY NEEDS FOR OUR VOIP
BUSINESS; DISADVANTAGEOUS CONTRACTS WOULD REDUCE OUR OPERATING MARGINS.

         We have entered into a number of, and may have to enter into
additional, long-term agreements (generally from one to five years) for leased
communications transmission capacity with various carriers. Many of these
agreements have minimum use requirements pursuant to which we are able to
negotiate lower overall per minute usage rates assuming the utilization of all
of such minutes. To the extent that we have overestimated (or in the future
overestimate) our call volume, we are obligated to pay for more transmission
capacity than we actually use, resulting in costs without corresponding revenue.
Our minimum commitments under existing carrier agreements presently greatly
exceed our actual usage. Conversely, in the future, if we underestimate our
capacity needs, we may be required to obtain additional transmission capacity
through more expensive means or such capacity may not be available. As a result
our margins could be reduced and our business, financial condition and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

         We have also entered into a contract with a supplier to purchase a
minimum number of telephony handsets, and may enter into similar arrangements
with other suppliers for other equipment related to our VoIP services. In
general, we can achieve better per unit pricing for such equipment if we enter
into larger commitments. To the extent we overestimate our needs for and enter
into binding agreements to purchase such equipment, we may be obligated to buy
more of such equipment than we can reasonably use in our business in the
foreseeable future, if at all. In the event that we are not able to sell our
telephony equipment in sufficient quantities and at sufficient prices, charges
related to potential excess inventory commitments and write-downs in the value
of our telephony inventory assets may be required in future periods.

PRICING PRESSURES AND INCREASING USE OF VOIP TECHNOLOGY MAY LESSEN OUR
COMPETITIVE PRICING ADVANTAGE.

         One of the main competitive advantages of our current and planned VoIP
service offerings is the ability to provide discounted local and long distance
telephony services by taking advantage of cost savings achieved by carrying
voice traffic employing VoIP technology, as compared to carrying calls over
traditional networks. In recent years, the price of telephone service has
fallen. The price of telephone service may continue to fall for various reasons,
including the adoption of VoIP technology by other communications carriers. Many
carriers have adopted pricing plans such that the rates that they charge are not
always substantially higher than the rates that VoIP providers charge for
similar service. In addition, other providers of long distance services are
offering unlimited or nearly unlimited use of some of their services for
increasingly lower monthly rates.

IF WE DO NOT DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIPS FOR VOIP PRODUCTS, WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY MARKET ANY OF OUR VOIP PRODUCTS.

         We have entered into the VoIP market and our success is partly
dependent on our ability to forge marketing, engineering and carrier
partnerships. VoIP communication systems are extremely complex and no single
company possesses all the technology components needed to build a complete end
to end solution. We will likely need to enter into partnerships to augment our
development programs and to assist us in marketing complete solutions to our
targeted customers. We may not be able to develop such partnerships in the
course of our operations and product development. Even if we do establish the
necessary partnerships, we may not be able to adequately capitalize on these
partnerships to aid in the success of our business.

                                       14


THE FAILURE OF VOIP NETWORKS TO MEET THE RELIABILITY AND QUALITY STANDARDS
REQUIRED FOR VOICE COMMUNICATIONS COULD RENDER OUR PRODUCTS OBSOLETE.

         Circuit-switched telephony networks feature very high reliability, with
a guaranteed quality of service. In addition, such networks have imperceptible
delay and consistently satisfactory audio quality. Emerging VoIP networks will
not be a viable alternative to traditional circuit switched telephony unless
they can provide reliability and quality consistent with these standards.

ONLINE CREDIT CARD FRAUD CAN HARM OUR BUSINESS.

         The sale of our products and services over the Internet exposes us to
credit card fraud risks. Many of our products and services, including our VoIP
services, can be ordered or established (in the case of new accounts) over the
Internet using a major credit card for payment. As is prevalent in retail
telecommunications and Internet services industries, we are exposed to the risk
that some of these credit card accounts are stolen or otherwise fraudulently
obtained. In general, we are not able to recover fraudulent credit card charges
from such accounts. In addition to the loss of revenue from such fraudulent
credit card use, we also remain liable to third parties whose products or
services are engaged by us (such as termination fees due telecommunications
providers) in connection with the services which we provide. In addition,
depending upon the level of credit card fraud we experience, we may become
ineligible to accept the credit cards of certain issuers. We are currently
authorized to accept Discover, together with Visa and MasterCard (which are both
covered by a single merchant agreement with us). Visa/MasterCard constitutes the
primary credit card used by our customers. The loss of eligibility for
acceptance of Visa/MasterCard could significantly and adversely affect our
business. We have recently updated our fraud controls and will attempt to manage
fraud risks through our internal controls and our monitoring and blocking
systems. If those efforts are not successful, fraud could cause our revenue to
decline significantly and our business, financial condition and results of
operations to be materially and adversely affected.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR HISTORICAL BUSINESS

THE MARKET SITUATION CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR CHIPS & BITS DUE TO
ADVANCES IN CONSOLE AND ONLINE GAMES, WHICH HAVE LOWER MARGINS AND TRADITIONALLY
LESS SALES LOYALTY TO CHIPS & BITS.

         Our subsidiary, Chips & Bits, Inc. depends on major releases in the
Personal Computer (PC) market for the majority of sales and profits. The game
industry's focus on X-Box, Playstation and GameCube has dramatically reduced the
number of major PC releases, which resulted in significant declines in revenues
and gross margins for Chips & Bits. Because of the large installed base of
personal computers, revenue and gross margin percentages may fluctuate with
changes in the PC game market. However, we are unable to predict when, if ever,
there will be a turnaround in the PC game market.

                                       15


         In addition, many companies involved in the games market may be
acquired by, receive investments from, or enter into commercial relationships
with larger, well-established and well-financed companies. As a result of this
highly fragmented and competitive market, consolidations and strategic ventures
may continue in the future.

WE HAVE HISTORICALLY RELIED SUBSTANTIALLY ON ONLINE AND PRINT ADVERTISING
REVENUES. THE ONLINE AND PRINT ADVERTISING MARKETS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY DECLINED.

         We historically derived a substantial portion of our revenues from the
sale of advertisements on our website and in our magazine Computer Games
Magazine. Our business model and revenues were highly dependent on the amount of
traffic on our websites, our ability to properly monetize website traffic and on
the print circulation of our Computer Games magazine. Print and online
advertising have dramatically decreased since the middle of 2000, and may
continue to decline, which could continue to have a material effect on us. Many
advertisers have been experiencing financial difficulties which could materially
impact our revenues and our ability to collect our receivables. For these
reasons, we cannot assure you that our current advertisers will continue to
purchase advertisements from our games properties.

WE MAY BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE DOES NOT BECOME A
VIABLE SOURCE OF SIGNIFICANT REVENUES OR PROFITS.

         In February 2000, we acquired Chips & Bits, Inc., a direct marketer of
video games and related products over the Internet. However, we have limited
experience in the sale of products online as compared to many of our competitors
and the development of relationships with manufacturers and suppliers of these
products. In addition, the closing of our community site and our small business
web-hosting site adversely affected our electronic commerce due to the loss of
traffic referred by those sites to the Chips & Bits website. We also face many
uncertainties, which may affect our ability to generate electronic commerce
revenues and profits, including:

         o        our ability to obtain new customers at a reasonable cost,
                  retain existing customers and encourage repeat purchases;

         o        the likelihood that both online and retail purchasing trends
                  may rapidly change;

         o        the level of product returns;

         o        merchandise shipping costs and delivery times;

         o        our ability to manage inventory levels;

         o        our ability to secure and maintain relationships with vendors;
                  and

         o        the possibility that our vendors may sell their products
                  through other sites.

                                       16


         If use of the Internet for electronic commerce does not continue to
grow, our business and financial condition would be materially and adversely
affected.

INTENSE COMPETITION FOR ELECTRONIC COMMERCE REVENUES HAS RESULTED IN DOWNWARD
PRESSURE ON GROSS MARGINS.

         Due to the ability of consumers to easily compare prices of similar
products or services on competing websites and consumers' potential preference
for competing website's user interface, gross margins for electronic commerce
transactions, which are narrower than for advertising businesses, may further
narrow in the future and, accordingly, our revenues and profits from electronic
commerce arrangements may be materially and adversely affected.

OUR ELECTRONIC COMMERCE BUSINESS MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY CLAIMS
AGAINST US.

         Consumers may sue us if any of the products that we sell are defective,
fail to perform properly or injure the user. Consumers are also increasingly
seeking to impose liability on game manufacturers and distributors based upon
the content of the games and the alleged affect of such content on behavior.
Some of our agreements with manufacturers contain provisions intended to limit
our exposure to liability claims. However, these limitations may not prevent all
potential claims. Liability claims could require us to spend significant time
and money in litigation or to pay significant damages. As a result, any claims,
whether or not successful, could seriously damage our reputation and our
business.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

THE VOLUME OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE IN THE OPEN MARKET COULD DRIVE
DOWN THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK OR KEEP OUR STOCK PRICE FROM IMPROVING, EVEN IF OUR
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVES.

         As of October 6, 2004, we had issued and outstanding approximately 156
million shares, of which approximately 30.9 million shares were freely tradeable
over the public markets. There is limited trading volume in our shares and we
are now traded only in the over-the-counter market. On April 16, 2004, we filed
a registration statement relating to the potential resale of up to approximately
131 million of our shares (including approximately 27 million shares underlying
outstanding warrants to acquire our Common Stock), of which approximately 5.7
million shares have been sold as of October 6, 2004. The registration statement
became effective on May 11, 2004. Sales of significant amounts of Common Stock
in the public market in the future, the perception that sales will occur or the
registration of additional shares pursuant to existing contractual obligations
could materially and adversely drive down the price of our stock. In addition,
such factors could adversely affect the ability of the market price of the
Common Stock to increase even if our business prospects were to improve.
Substantially all of our stockholders holding restricted securities, including
shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase our Common Stock, have
registration rights under various conditions. Also, we may issue additional
shares of our common stock or other equity instruments which may be convertible
into common stock at some future date, which could further adversely affect our
stock price.

                                       17


         In addition, as of October 6, 2004, there were outstanding options to
purchase approximately 15,244,000 shares of our Common Stock, which become
eligible for sale in the public market from time to time depending on vesting
and the expiration of lock-up agreements. The issuance of shares upon exercise
of these options is registered under the Securities Act and consequently,
subject to certain volume restrictions as to shares issuable to executive
officers, will be freely tradable.

OUR CHAIRMAN MAY CONTROL US.

         Michael S. Egan, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially
owns or controls, directly or indirectly, approximately 87.7 million shares of
our Common Stock as of October 6 2004, which in the aggregate represents
approximately 50% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock (treating as
outstanding for this purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the options and warrants owned by Mr. Egan or his affiliates). Accordingly,
Mr. Egan would likely be able to exercise significant influence over, if not
control, any stockholder vote.

DELISTING OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL
SHARES. THIS MAY POTENTIALLY LEAD TO FUTURE MARKET DECLINES.

         The shares of our Common Stock were delisted from the NASDAQ national
market in April 2001 and are now traded in the over-the-counter market on what
is commonly referred to as the electronic bulletin board or "OTCBB". As a
result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate
quotations as to the market value of the securities. The trading volume of our
shares has dramatically declined since the delisting. In addition, we are now
subject to a Rule promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission that, if
we fail to meet criteria set forth in such Rule, various practice requirements
are imposed on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the Rule to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For these
types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written
consent to the transactions prior to sale. Consequently, the Rule may have a
materially adverse effect on the ability of broker-dealers to sell the
securities, which may materially affect the ability of stockholders to sell the
securities in the secondary market.

         The delisting has made trading our shares more difficult for investors,
potentially leading to further declines in share price and making it less likely
our stock price will increase. It has also made it more difficult for us to
raise additional capital. We may also incur additional costs under state
blue-sky laws if we sell equity due to our delisting.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS AFFECTING US COULD PREVENT OR DELAY A CHANGE OF
CONTROL.

         Provisions of our charter, by-laws and stockholder rights plan and
provisions of applicable Delaware law may:

         o        have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change
                  in control of our company;

                                       18


         o        discourage bids of our Common Stock at a premium over the
                  market price; or

         o        adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other
                  rights of the holders of, our Common Stock.

         Certain Delaware laws could have the effect of delaying, deterring or
preventing a change in control of our company. One of these laws prohibits us
from engaging in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a
period of three years from the date the person became an interested stockholder,
unless various conditions are met. In addition, provisions of our charter and
by-laws, and the significant amount of Common Stock held by our current and
former executive officers, directors and affiliates, could together have the
effect of discouraging potential takeover attempts or making it more difficult
for stockholders to change management. In addition, the employment contracts of
our Chairman, CEO and Vice President of Finance provide for substantial lump sum
payments ranging from 2 (for the Vice President) to 10 times (for each of the
Chairman and CEO) of their respective average combined salaries and bonuses
(together with the continuation of various benefits for extended periods) in the
event of their termination without cause or a termination by the executive for
"good reason", which is conclusively presumed in the event of a
"change-in-control" (as such terms are defined in such agreements).

OUR STOCK PRICE IS VOLATILE.

         The trading price of our Common Stock has been volatile and may
continue to be volatile in response to various factors, including:

         o        the performance and public acceptance of our new product
                  lines;

         o        entrance into new lines of business, including acquisitions of
                  businesses;

         o        quarterly variations in our operating results;

         o        competitive announcements;

         o        sales of any of our remaining games properties;

         o        the operating and stock price performance of other companies
                  that investors may deem comparable to us; and

         o        news relating to trends in our markets.

         The stock market has experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations, and the market prices of technology companies, particularly
Internet-related companies, have been highly volatile. Our stock is also more
volatile due to the limited trading volume.

                                       19


RISKS RELATED TO THEGLOBE.COM'S ACQUISITION OF SENDTEC

OUR LIQUIDITY MAY DECREASE AS A RESULT OF THE SENDTEC ACQUISITION.

         As part of the consideration for the SendTec acquisition, theglobe.com
paid $6.0 million in cash and issued a subordinated promissory note for $1.0
million, due one year after the closing, to the SendTec shareholders. As a
result of the acquisition, our liquidity is dependent upon the sufficiency of
the cash acquired from SendTec in the acquisition, of approximately $3 million,
plus cash flow anticipated to be generated internally by SendTec subsequent to
the acquisition. If cash flow generated by SendTec, on a short-term and
long-term basis, does not meet our expectations, our liquidity may permanently
decrease and our financial condition may be adversely affected. In addition, the
Preferred Stock issued as part of the Merger may under certain limited
circumstances be converted by the holders thereof into a promissory note due in
one lump sum on the later of the first anniversary of the date of issuance and
December 31, 2005. In such limited circumstances, the Preferred Stock may be
converted into a promissory note based upon the then Fair Market Value, as
defined, of our Common Stock (but not greater than $0.83 per share). If all
remaining Preferred Stock were so converted at the maximum conversion rate, the
maximum principal amount of the Note would be $14.5 million. Our liquidity would
be adversely affected by any such conversion and we would likely need to raise
significant capital. Our financial condition may also be adversely affected.

THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF THE SENDTEC ACQUISITION MAY NOT BE REALIZED.

         The success of the acquisition will depend, in part, on theglobe.com's
ability to realize the benefits of enhanced resources, growth opportunities and
other synergies of combining with SendTec and to effectively leverage the
SendTec marketing and technical resources following the merger. The merger
involves risks related to the integration, management, and retention of acquired
client relationships, operations and personnel. Integration of the businesses
will be complex, time-consuming and may disrupt the combined company's
businesses if not completed in a timely and efficient manner. Some of the
difficulties that the combined company may encounter include:

         o        diversion of management's attention from other business
                  concerns;
         o        inability to use the acquired resources effectively; and
         o        demonstrating to the combined company's customers, vendors and
                  partners that the acquisition will not result in adverse
                  changes to their relationships.

         If management focuses too much time, money and effort to integrate and
utilize SendTec's resources to improve theglobe's VOIP telephony business, the
operations and profitability of SendTec's traditional business may suffer.

THE MARKET PRICE OF THEGLOBE.COM'S COMMON STOCK MAY DECLINE AS A RESULT OF THE
SENDTEC ACQUISITION.

The market price of theglobe.com's stock may decline as a result of the merger
if:

         o        integration of theglobe.com and SendTec is unsuccessful or is
                  delayed;
         o        the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits
                  of the acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by
                  investors; or
         o        the effect of the acquisition on the combined company's
                  financial results or condition is not consistent with the
                  expectations of financial investors.
         o        The dilution in shareholder ownership related to the issuance
                  of shares of theglobe.com's common stock in connection with
                  the acquisition is perceived negatively by investors.

         The market price of theglobe.com's common stock could also decline as a
result of unforeseen factors related to the acquisition.

                                       20


OUR NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY FORWARDS MAY BE FURTHER LIMITED DUE TO THE SENDTEC
ACQUISITION.

         As of December 31, 2003, theglobe.com had net operating loss
carryforwards available for U.S. and foreign tax purposes of approximately $144
million. These carryforwards expire through 2023. The Tax Reform Act of 1986
imposes substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and
tax credits in the event of an "ownership change" of a corporation. Due to the
change on our ownership interests in August 1997 and May 1999 and the Company's
recently completed private offering in March 2004 (together with the exercise
and conversion of various securities in connection with such private offering),
as defined in the internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company may
have substantially limited or eliminated the availability of its net operating
loss carryforwards. The ownership change related to the shares of theglobe.com's
common stock issued in connection with the SendTec acquisition may have a
further negative impact upon theglobe.com's ability to utilize its net operating
loss carryforwards. There can be no assurance that the Company wil be able to
avail itself of any net operating loss carryforwards in the future.

WE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY AN IMPAIRMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
GOODWILL AND/OR INTANGIBLE ASSETS ON OUR BALANCE SHEET.

         Our acquisition of SendTec has resulted in the recording of a
significant amount of goodwill and/or intangible assets on our balance sheet.
The goodwill was recorded because the fair value of the net assets acquired was
less than the purchase price. We may not realize the full value of the goodwill
and/or intangible assets. As such, we evaluate on a regular basis whether events
and circumstances indicate that some or all of the carrying value of goodwill
and/or intangible assets are no longer recoverable, in which case we would write
off the unrecoverable portion as a charge to our earnings.

RISKS RELATED TO SENDTEC'S BUSINESS

ANY DECREASE IN DEMAND FOR SENDTEC'S ONLINE MARKETING SERVICES COULD
SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE SENDTEC'S REVENUES. 

         To date, a substantial portion of SendTec's revenues have been derived
from Internet advertising. SendTec expects that online advertising will continue
to account for a substantial portion of its revenues in the future. However,
SendTec's revenues from Internet advertising may decrease in the future for a
number of reasons, including the following:

         o        the rate at which Internet users click on advertisements or
                  take action in response to an advertisement has always been
                  low and could decline as the volume of Internet advertising
                  increases;

         o        Internet users can install software programs that allow them
                  to prevent advertisements from appearing on their screens or
                  block the receipt of emails;

         o        advertisers may prefer an alternative Internet advertising
                  format, product or service which SendTec might not offer at
                  that time; and

                                       21


         o        SendTec may be unable to make the transition to new Internet
                  advertising formats preferred by advertisers.

IF SENDTEC'S PRICING MODELS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY SENDTEC'S ADVERTISER CLIENTS,
SENDTEC COULD LOSE CLIENTS AND SENDTEC'S REVENUES COULD DECLINE.
 
         Most of SendTec's services are offered to advertisers based on
cost-per-action or cost-per-click pricing models, under which advertisers only
pay SendTec if SendTec provides the results they specify. These results-based
pricing models differ from the fixed-rate pricing model used by many Internet
advertising companies, under which the fee is based on the number of times the
advertisement is shown without regard to effectiveness. SendTec's ability to
generate significant revenues from advertisers will depend, in part, on its
ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of its primary pricing models to
advertisers, who may be more accustomed to a fixed-rate pricing model.

         Furthermore, intense competition among websites and other Internet
advertising providers has led to the development of a number of alternative
pricing models for Internet advertising. The proliferation of multiple pricing
alternatives may confuse advertisers and make it more difficult for them to
differentiate among these alternatives. In addition, it is possible that new
pricing models may be developed and gain widespread acceptance that are not
compatible with SendTec's business model or SendTec's technology. These
alternatives, and the likelihood that additional pricing models will be
introduced, make it difficult for SendTec to project the levels of advertising
revenues or the margins that SendTec, or the Internet advertising industry in
general, will realize in the future. If advertisers do not understand the
benefits of SendTec's pricing models, then the market for SendTec's services may
decline or develop more slowly than SendTec expects, which may limit SendTec's
ability to grow its revenues or cause its revenues to decline.

SENDTEC DEPENDS ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF CLIENTS FOR A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF
SENDTEC'S REVENUES, AND THE LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF THESE ADVERTISERS COULD CAUSE
SENDTEC'S REVENUES TO DECLINE.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and for the year ended December
31, 2003, revenues from SendTec's three largest clients accounted for 71% and
53% of SendTec's total revenues, respectively. SendTec believes that a limited
number of clients will continue to be the source of a substantial portion of its
revenues for the foreseeable future. Key factors in maintaining SendTec's
relationships with these clients include its performance on individual
campaigns, the strength of its professional reputation and the relationships of
its key executives with client personnel. To the extent that SendTec's
performance does not meet client expectations, or SendTec's reputation or
relationships with one or more major clients are impaired, SendTec's revenues
could decline and its operating results could be adversely affected.

ANY LIMITATION ON SENDTEC'S USE OF DATA DERIVED FROM SENDTEC'S CLIENTS'
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS COULD SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISH THE VALUE OF SENDTEC'S
SERVICES AND CAUSE US TO LOSE CLIENTS AND REVENUES.

                                       22


         When an individual visits SendTec's clients' websites, SendTec uses
technologies, including cookies and web beacons, to collect information such as
the user's IP address, advertisements delivered by SendTec that have been viewed
by the user and responses by the user to such advertisements. SendTec aggregates
and analyzes this information to determine the placement of advertisements
across SendTec's affiliate network of advertising space. Although the data
SendTec collects from campaigns of different clients, once aggregated, are not
identifiable, SendTec's clients might decide not to allow SendTec to collect
some or all of this data or might limit SendTec's use of this data. Any
limitation on SendTec's ability to use such data could make it more difficult
for SendTec to deliver online marketing programs that meet client demands.

         In addition, although SendTec's contracts generally permit SendTec to
aggregate data from advertising campaigns, SendTec's clients might nonetheless
request that SendTec discontinue using data obtained from their campaigns that
have already been aggregated with other clients' campaign data. It would be
difficult, if not impossible, to comply with these requests, and such requests
could result in significant expenditures of resources. Interruptions, failures
or defects in SendTec's data collection, mining and storage systems, as well as
privacy concerns regarding the collection of user data, could also limit
SendTec's ability to aggregate and analyze data from its clients' advertising
campaigns. If that happens, SendTec may lose clients and its revenues may
decline.

THE INTERNET ADVERTISING INDUSTRY COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY GENERAL
ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS, CATASTROPHIC EVENTS OR DECLINES OR DISRUPTIONS IN INDUSTRIES
THAT ADVERTISE HEAVILY ON THE INTERNET.

         The Internet advertising industry is sensitive to both general economic
and business conditions and to specific events, such as acts of terrorism. In
addition, Internet advertising spending can be affected by the condition of
industries that advertise heavily on the Internet such as the financial
services, travel and entertainment industries. Some of these industries tend to
be sensitive to event-driven disruptions such as government regulation, war,
terrorism, disease, natural disasters and other significant events. A general
decline in economic conditions or disruptions in specific industries
characterized by heavy spending on Internet advertising, could cause a decline
in Internet advertising expenditures which could in turn cause a decline in
SendTec's revenues.

IF THE MARKET FOR INTERNET ADVERTISING FAILS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP, SENDTEC'S
REVENUES AND SENDTEC'S OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE HARMED.

         SendTec's future success is highly dependent on the continued use and
growth of the Internet as an advertising medium. The Internet advertising market
is relatively new and rapidly evolving, and it uses different measurements than
traditional media to gauge its effectiveness. As a result, demand for and market
acceptance of Internet advertising services is uncertain. Many of SendTec's
current or potential advertiser clients have little or no experience using the
Internet for advertising purposes and have allocated only limited portions of
their advertising budgets to the Internet. The adoption of Internet advertising,
particularly by those entities that have historically relied upon traditional
media for advertising, requires the acceptance of a new way of conducting
business, exchanging information, measuring success and evaluating new


                                       23


advertising products and services. Such clients may find Internet advertising to
be less effective for promoting their products and services than traditional
advertising media. SendTec cannot assure you that the market for Internet
advertising will continue to grow or become sustainable. If the market for
Internet advertising fails to continue to develop or develops more slowly than
SendTec expects, SendTec's revenues and business could be harmed.

SENDTEC DEPENDS ON ONLINE PUBLISHERS FOR ADVERTISING SPACE TO DELIVER SENDTEC'S
CLIENTS' ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS, AND ANY DECLINE IN THE SUPPLY OF ADVERTISING
SPACE AVAILABLE THROUGH SENDTEC'S NETWORK COULD CAUSE SENDTEC'S REVENUES TO
DECLINE.

         The websites, search engines and email publishers that sell or venture
their advertising space to or with SendTec are not bound by long-term contracts
that ensure SendTec a consistent supply of advertising space, which SendTec
refers to as SendTec's inventory. SendTec generates a significant portion of its
revenues from the advertising inventory provided by a limited number of
publishers. In most instances, publishers can change the amount of inventory
they make available to SendTec at any time, as well as the price at which they
make it available. In addition, publishers may place significant restrictions on
SendTec's use of their advertising inventory. These restrictions may prohibit
advertisements from specific advertisers or specific industries, or restrict the
use of certain creative content or format. If a publisher decides not to make
inventory available to SendTec, or decides to increase the price, or places
significant restrictions on the use of such inventory, SendTec may not be able
to replace this with inventory from other publishers that satisfy its
requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner. If this happens, SendTec's
revenues could decline or its cost of acquiring inventory may increase.

SENDTEC'S GROWTH MAY BE LIMITED IF SENDTEC IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT
ADVERTISING INVENTORY THAT MEETS SENDTEC'S PRICING AND QUALITY REQUIREMENTS.

         SendTec's growth depends on its ability to effectively manage and
expand the volume of its inventory of advertising space. To attract new
advertisers, SendTec must increase its supply of inventory that meets SendTec's
performance and pricing requirements. SendTec's ability to purchase or venture
sufficient quantities of suitable advertising inventory will depend on various
factors, some of which are beyond SendTec's control. These factors include:

         o        SendTec's ability to offer publishers a competitive price for
                  their inventory;
         o        SendTec's ability to estimate the quality of the available
                  inventory; and
         o        SendTec's ability to efficiently manage its existing
                  advertising inventory.

         In addition, the number of competing Internet advertising networks that
purchase advertising inventory from websites, search engine and email publishers
continues to increase. SendTec cannot assure you that SendTec will be able to
purchase or venture advertising inventory that meets SendTec's performance,
price and quality requirements, and if SendTec cannot do so, SendTec's ability
to generate revenues could be limited.

                                       24


ANY LIMITATION ON SENDTEC'S ABILITY TO POST ADVERTISEMENTS THROUGHOUT SENDTEC'S
NETWORK OF ADVERTISING SPACE COULD HARM SENDTEC'S BUSINESS.

         SendTec executes advertising programs for clients primarily by posting
advertisements, which SendTec refer to as ad delivery, on SendTec's affiliate
network of advertising space. SendTec's business could suffer from a variety of
factors that could limit or reduce its ability to post advertisements across its
affiliate network, including:

         o        technological changes that render the delivery of SendTec's
                  advertisements obsolete or incompatible with the operating
                  systems of consumers and/or the systems of online publishers;
         o        lawsuits or injunctions based on claims that SendTec's ad
                  delivery methodologies violate the proprietary rights of other
                  parties; and
         o        interruptions, failures or defects in SendTec's ad delivery
                  and tracking systems.
 
CONSOLIDATION OF ONLINE PUBLISHERS MAY IMPAIR SENDTEC'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE
MARKETING SERVICES, ACQUIRE ADVERTISING INVENTORY AT FAVORABLE RATES AND COLLECT
CAMPAIGN DATA.
 
         The consolidation of Internet advertising networks, web portals, search
engines and other online publishers could eventually lead to a concentration of
desirable advertising inventory on a very small number of networks and large
websites. Such concentration could:

         o        increase SendTec's costs if these publishers use their greater
                  bargaining power to increase rates for advertising inventory;
         o        impair SendTec's ability to provide marketing services if
                  these publishers prevent SendTec from distributing its
                  clients' advertising campaigns on their websites or if they
                  adopt ad delivery systems that are not compatible with its ad
                  delivery methodologies; and

SENDTEC'S BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED IF THE USE OF TRACKING TECHNOLOGY IS
RESTRICTED OR BECOMES SUBJECT TO NEW REGULATION.
 
         In conjunction with the delivery of advertisements to websites, SendTec
typically places small files of information, commonly known as cookies, on an
Internet user's hard drive, generally without the user's knowledge or consent.
Cookie information is passed to SendTec through an Internet user's browser
software. SendTec uses cookies to collect information regarding the
advertisements SendTec delivers to Internet users and their interaction with
these advertisements. SendTec uses this information to identify Internet users
who have received SendTec's advertisements in the past and to monitor and
prevent potentially fraudulent activity. In addition, SendTec's technology uses
this information to monitor the performance of ongoing advertising campaigns and
plan future campaigns.
 
         Some Internet commentators and privacy advocates have proposed limiting
or eliminating the use of cookies and other Internet tracking technologies, and
legislation has been introduced in some jurisdictions to regulate Internet
tracking technologies. The European Union has already adopted a directive
requiring that when cookies are used, the user must be informed and offered an
opportunity to opt-out of the cookies' use. If there is a further reduction or
limitation in the use of Internet tracking technologies such as cookies:

                                       25



         o        SendTec may have to replace or re-engineer its tracking
                  technology, which could require significant amounts of
                  SendTec's time and resources, may not be completed in time to
                  avoid losing clients or advertising inventory, and may not be
                  commercially or technically feasible;
         o        SendTec may have to develop or acquire other technology to
                  prevent fraud; and
         o        SendTec may become subject to costly and time-consuming
                  litigation or investigations due to its use of cookie
                  technology or other technologies designed to collect Internet
                  usage information.

         Any one or more of these occurrences could result in increased costs,
require SendTec to change its business practices or divert management's
attention.

IF SENDTEC OR SENDTEC'S ADVERTISER OR PUBLISHER CLIENTS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH
REGULATIONS GOVERNING CONSUMER PRIVACY, SENDTEC COULD FACE SUBSTANTIAL COSTS AND
SENDTEC'S BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED.
 
         SendTec's collection, maintenance and sharing of information regarding
Internet users could result in lawsuits or government inquiries. These actions
may include those related to U.S. federal and state legislation or European
Union directives limiting the ability of companies like SendTec to collect,
receive and use information regarding Internet users. Litigation and regulatory
inquiries are often expensive and time-consuming and their outcome is uncertain.
Any involvement by SendTec in any of these matters could require SendTec to:

         o        spend significant amounts on SendTec's legal defense;
         o        divert the attention of senior management from other aspects
                  of SendTec's business;
         o        defer or cancel new product launches as a result of these
                  claims or proceedings; and
         o        make changes to SendTec's present and planned products or
                  services.

         Further, SendTec cannot assure you that its advertiser and publisher
clients are currently in compliance, or will remain in compliance, with their
own privacy policies, regulations governing consumer privacy or other applicable
legal requirements. SendTec may be held liable if its clients use SendTec's
technology or the data SendTec collects on their behalf in a manner that is not
in compliance with applicable laws or regulations or their own stated privacy
standards.

SENDTEC MAY BE LIABLE FOR CONTENT IN THE ADVERTISEMENTS SENDTEC DELIVERS FOR
SENDTEC'S CLIENTS.

         SendTec may be liable to third parties for content in the
advertisements SendTec delivers if the artwork, text or other content involved
violates copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights of third
parties or if the content is defamatory. Although SendTec generally receives
warranties from its advertisers that they have the right to use any copyrights,
trademarks or other intellectual property included in an advertisement and are
normally indemnified by the advertisers, a third party may still file a claim
against SendTec. Any claims by third parties against SendTec could be
time-consuming, could result in costly litigation and adverse judgments and
could require SendTec to change its business.

                                       26


MISAPPROPRIATION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HELD BY US COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE
CLIENTS OR INCUR LIABILITY.

         SendTec retains highly confidential information on behalf of its
clients in its systems and databases. Although SendTec maintain security
features in its systems, SendTec's operations may be susceptible to hacker
interception, break-ins and other disruptions. These disruptions may jeopardize
the security of information stored in and transmitted through SendTec's systems.
If confidential information is compromised, SendTec could be subject to lawsuits
by the affected clients or Internet users, which could damage SendTec's
reputation among its current and potential clients, require significant
expenditures of capital and other resources and cause SendTec to lose business
and revenues.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS RISKS RELATING TO SENDTEC'S BUSINESS
 
SENDTEC FACES INTENSE AND GROWING COMPETITION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PRICE
REDUCTIONS, REDUCED OPERATING MARGINS AND LOSS OF MARKET SHARE.
 
         The direct response advertising market is highly competitive. If
SendTec fails to compete effectively against other advertising service
companies, SendTec could lose clients or advertising inventory and SendTec's
revenues could decline. SendTec expects competition to continue to increase
because there are no significant barriers to entry.

         Many current and potential competitors have advantages over SendTec,
such as longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger client
bases, greater access to advertising space on high-traffic websites and
significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. In addition,
existing or future competitors may develop or offer services that provide
significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered
by SendTec.

         Current and potential competitors may establish cooperative
relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of
their products and services to address the needs of SendTec's clients and
prospective clients. As a result, it is possible that new competitors may emerge
and rapidly acquire significant market share.

         If SendTec fails to compete successfully, SendTec could have
difficulties attracting and retaining advertising clients or advertising
inventory, which may decrease SendTec's revenues and adversely affect SendTec's
operating results. Increased competition may also result in price reductions and
reduced operating income.

SENDTEC GENERALLY DOES NOT HAVE LONG-TERM CONTRACTS WITH SENDTEC'S CLIENTS.

         SendTec's clients typically hire SendTec on a project-by-project basis
or on an annual contractual relationship. Moreover, SendTec's clients generally
have the right to terminate their relationships with SendTec without penalty and
with relatively short or no notice. Once a project is completed SendTec cannot
assure you that a client will engage SendTec for further services. From time to
time, highly successful engagements have ended because SendTec's client was
acquired and the new owners decided not to retain SendTec. A client that


                                       27


generates substantial revenue for SendTec in one period may not be a substantial
source of revenue in a subsequent period. SendTec expects a relatively high
level of client concentration to continue, but not necessarily involve the same
clients from period to period. The termination of SendTec's business
relationships with any of its significant clients, or a material reduction in
the use of SendTec's services by any of SendTec's significant clients, could
adversely affect SendTec's future financial performance.

THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL OR ANY INABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL
PERSONNEL COULD IMPAIR SENDTEC'S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN OR EXPAND SENDTEC'S
BUSINESS.

         The loss of the services of members of SendTec's management team or
other key personnel could harm SendTec's business. SendTec's future success
depends to a significant extent on the continued service of SendTec's key
management, client service, product development, sales and technical personnel.
SendTec does not maintain key person life insurance on any of its executive
officers and do not intend to purchase any in the future. Although SendTec
generally enters into non-competition agreements with its employees, SendTec's
business could be harmed if one or more of SendTec's officers or key employees
decided to join a competitor or otherwise compete with SendTec.

         SendTec's future success also depends on its ability to attract, retain
and motivate highly skilled personnel. If SendTec fail to hire and retain a
sufficient number of qualified client service, product development, sales and
technical personnel, SendTec may not be able to maintain or expand its business.

IF SENDTEC FAILS TO MANAGE SENDTEC'S GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, SENDTEC'S EXPENSES
COULD INCREASE AND SENDTEC'S MANAGEMENT'S TIME AND ATTENTION COULD BE DIVERTED.

         As SendTec continues to increase the scope of its operations, SendTec
will need an effective planning and management process to implement its business
plan successfully in the rapidly evolving Internet advertising market. SendTec's
business, results of operations and financial condition will be substantially
harmed if it is unable to manage its expanding operations effectively. SendTec
plans to continue to expand its sales and marketing, customer support and
research and development organizations. Past growth has placed, and any future
growth will continue to place, a significant strain on SendTec's management
systems and resources. SendTec will likely need to continue to improve its
financial and managerial controls and its reporting systems and procedures. In
addition, SendTec will need to expand, train and manage its work force.
SendTec's failure to manage its growth effectively could increase its expenses
and divert management's time and attention.

                                       28


IF SENDTEC FAILS TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN AND EXPAND SENDTEC'S TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS
AND MARKETING ALLIANCES AND PARTNERSHIPS, SENDTEC'S ABILITY TO GROW COULD BE
LIMITED.

         In order to grow SendTec's technology business, SendTec must generate,
retain and strengthen successful business and marketing alliances with
advertising agencies.

         SendTec depends, and expect to continue to depend, on its business and
marketing alliances, which are companies with which SendTec has written or oral
agreements to work together to provide services to SendTec's clients and to
refer business from their clients and customers to SendTec. If companies with
which SendTec has business and marketing alliances do not refer their clients
and customers to SendTec to perform their online campaign and message
management, SendTec's revenue and results of operations would be severely
harmed.

         o        in connection with short sales;
         o        by pledge to secure debts and other obligations;
         o        in connection with the writing of options, in hedge
                  transactions, and in settlement of other transactions in

prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices,
at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices.

discounts or commissions from the Selling Stockholders, or will receive
commissions from the purchasers for whom they acted as agents.

         The Selling Stockholders and participating brokers and dealers may be
deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, in
which event any profit on the sale of shares of those selling shareholders and
any commissions or discounts received by those brokers or dealers may be deemed
to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.

indemnification obligations with respect to the sale of the Common Stock by use
of this prospectus.

         THE SEC'S POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR 1933 ACT LIABILITIES

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

         We have filed a registration statement with the SEC registering and
describing the Common Stock. For further information on us and the Common Stock,

         Item 4.  Description of Securities

         Not applicable.

         Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

         Not applicable.

         Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides that a corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and
other individuals against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified non-derivative actions, suits,


                                      II-1


proceedings or investigations if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. In addition, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding such
director must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful. In the case of derivative actions, a similar standard is
applicable except that indemnification only extends to expenses incurred in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action. In addition, the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where
the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The
DGCL provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws, stockholder or director vote,
agreement or otherwise.

         Our By-Laws require us to indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or
completed non-derivative action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute
mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding,
brought by reason of the fact that he or she is or was our director or officer,
or while our director or officer is or was serving at our request as a director
or officer of another entity, including service with respect to an employee
benefits plan against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines,
excise taxes under ERISA, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, incurred by
him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted
in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to our best interests. In addition, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding such person shall have had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.

         Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide that a
director shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
payment of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions or (iv)
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

         Our Charter provides that to the fullest extent that the DGCL permits,
our directors will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any amendment to or repeal of our
Charter inconsistent with these provisions will not adversely affect any right
of our director and officers arising in connection with the service of such
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

         We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and
officers. These agreements provide that we will indemnify such directors and
officers for any amounts paid in settlement or incurred by, or assessed against,
such directors and officers arising in connection with the service of such
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

         We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance. This
insurance provides for payment, on behalf of our and our subsidiaries' directors
and officers, of certain losses of such persons arising from claims, including
claims arising under the Securities Act, for acts or omissions by such person
while acting as a director or officer.

         Item 9.  Undertakings

         The Company hereby undertakes:

         (a)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
                  made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
                  Statement:

                  (a)      To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)
                           (3) of the Securities Act;

                  (b)      To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                           arising after the effective date of this Registration
                           Statement (or the most recent post-effective
                           amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
                           aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                           information set forth in this Registration Statement;

                  (c)      To include any material information with respect to
                           the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
                           this Registration Statement or any material change to
                           such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this Registrations Statement.

         (b)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                  Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
                  deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
                  securities offered therein, and the offering of such
                  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
                  fide offering thereof.

         (c)      To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                  amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                  unsold at the termination of the offering.

         (d)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                  Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report
                  pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
                  that is incorporated by reference in this Registration
                  Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
                  relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
                  of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
                  initial bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 of this Registration
Statement, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-4
