Internet Technologies they are currently working on: TECHNOLOGY FROM THE OUTPOST ACQUISITION In June 1998, the Company acquired Outpost, which included the acquisition of the Outpost Technology and the hiring of approximately ten employees. In the second quarter of 1998, the Company wrote off approximately $2.8 million in connection with the Outpost acquisition. ------------------------ Within the acquired Outpost Technology (smart-shopping services) there are four main modules that the Company intends to integrate into the InfoSpace.com Web site. These modules in their developed state as of the acquisition date of Outpost had certain technological limitations. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company revised its strategy with respect to the transaction proxy module, with the result being that most of the in-process technology was discarded. Accordingly, no value was assigned to this module in connection with the Company's valuation of the assets acquired from Outpost. The four modules are: . Integrated content that will provide users with product pricing and merchant information. . Transaction proxy that will allow the Company to track sales transactions from beginning to end and to receive confirmation reports from the retailers. . Branding that will allow users to travel to affiliate Web sites without leaving the InfoSpace.com Web site. . Universal shopping cart that will allow users to make multiple purchases at different retailers in one execution. -------------------------- The last two modules will make internet shopping very convenient and efficient (IMO). Just imagine, several stores available in one website where you can "shop till you drop" then check out and make your payment ONCE. regards, Andretti
