Net revenues of $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 represent a 354% increase over net revenues of $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Loss from continuing operations, excluding amortization of acquisition related costs and certain one-time costs, was $47.9 million, or $(2.08) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This compares to a loss from continuing operations, excluding amortization of acquisition related costs, of $13.8 million, or $(1.14) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

Per share calculations are based on weighted average shares outstanding of 23.0 million for both the three month and the six month periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to 14.3 million and 12.1 million shares for the comparable 1999 periods.

The increase in the number of shares is largely attributable to the company's sale of 6.8 million shares of common stock in its May 1999 initial public offering, the issuance of 2.9 million shares in May 1999 related to the conversion of preferred stock issued prior to the offering, and the issuance of 2.6 million shares for two acquisitions completed in September 1999.

The following is a summary of the key developments during the second quarter. In addition, on Friday, August 4, 2000, CAIS announced the closing of a previously reported $40 million cash investment by Microsoft Corp.
