GA competes with Forrester Research, Inc., Gartner Group, Inc., and J.D. Power & Associates. Indirect competitors include the internal planning and marketing staffs of GA's current and prospective clients as well as other information providers. GA also competes with large and established search engines such as Yahoo, Excite and Lycos for on-line advertising and sponsorship revenues. There are relatively few barriers to entry into GA's market and new competitors could seek to compete against GA in one or more market segments. These competitors may have substantially greater financial, information gathering and marketing resources than GA. There can be no assurance that GA will be able to compete successfully against existing or new competitors. GA has recently begun selling advertising on its website. GA has had no significant advertising revenue until recently. Advertising revenue, which constituted 40% of GA's total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, is expected to increase rapidly. This projection, however, is a forward-looking statement and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
