Quarterly Highlights
The following milestones were completed or announced during the
third quarter of 1999:

--   Calico Commerce added 12 new customers and received license or
     professional service revenue from 23 customers including
     established leaders such as: Motorola (NYSE: MOT), Nortel
     Networks (NYSE/TSE: NT), KPNQwest (Nasdaq & ASE: KQIP), the
     leading pan-European data communications company and also from
     emerging leaders such as, Winstar Communications (Nasdaq:WCII), a
     global provider of advanced broadband telecommunications
     services; MYBIKE.COM.com, an online provider of customized
     bicycles; Oneswoop.com, the UK's first automotive
     transactional-based eCommerce website; iCongo.com, a B2B
     marketplace for the international sporting good industry; and
     ZoneTrader, a B2B auction site for refurbished and surplus
     business equipment. The company also added a new Fortune 50
     customer after winning a highly competitive evaluation.

--   In response to growing demand among B2B customers and emerging
     net market makers, Calico Commerce launched Calico eSales.com, an
     offering for deploying state-of-the-art eCommerce sites and
     creating new business communities where multiple buyers and
     sellers come together. Calico has already experienced customer
     acceptance and rapid growth in this exploding segment of B2B
     eCommerce by signing four eSales.com customers since the launch
     in December.

--   Calico Commerce completed the initial public offering of its
     common stock on the Nasdaq National Market trading under the
     symbol "CLIC." Private placement investments totaling $24 million
     were concurrently made by Dell U.S.A., L.P. and Andersen
     Consulting LLP.

--   A definitive agreement was reached to acquire ConnectInc.com
     (Nasdaq: CNKT), a leading provider of technology and services
     that dynamically connect buying and selling companies via the
     Internet. With the acquisition, Calico strengthens the sell-side
     functionality of its eSales electronic commerce suite by adding
     new technology that will better serve the needs of eBusiness
     leaders in the Global 2000, while expanding its reach to the
     thousands of net market maker companies that are building digital
     marketplaces.

--   The company added significantly to its telecommunications
     services customer base by adding four new customers including
     KPNQwest, Winstar, as well as a leading long distance service
     provider in the U.S., and a leading Asian integrated
     communications service provider.

--   Announced the first joint customer deployment with Andersen
     Consulting, OneSwoop.com, the UK's first automotive
     transactional-based eCommerce website. This Calico eSales
     deployment is also Calico's first within the automotive industry,
     an explosive growth sector in electronic commerce.

--   A strategic partnership was announced with BEA Systems, adopting
     BEA WebLogic Server(TM) as a platform for its eSales
     customer-focused electronic commerce solutions. Calico's
     leadership in supporting open Java-based application server
     technology uniquely positions the company to meet the most
     demanding eCommerce performance and scalability requirements of
     customers while adding major new product functionality.

--   Calico announced the appointment of high-technology industry
     veteran, Joseph B. Costello, to its board of directors. Costello
     has brought a wealth of executive management and operations
     experience with Fortune 1000 companies to Calico's board, and is
     highly regarded for the role he played for more than a decade as
     president and CEO of Cadence Design Systems.

--   Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) implemented Calico eSales to
     distribute marketing, sales and product intelligence to Kodak's
     sales force and create a closer link among sales, marketing and
     product development. By supplying up-to-date information during
     every step of the sales process, Calico eSales helps Kodak's
     sales people prepare for - and close - new business
     opportunities.

--   Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE: BBY), the nation's largest computer
     retailer to the home user, completed the roll-out of Calico
     eSales into its newly launched in-store configure-to-order
     computer kiosks at 354 Best Buy locations nationwide. Calico
     continues to empower retailers such as Best Buy to sell complex
     products and services via the Web and in stores-- providing
     customers with relevant, up-to-date information, and assembling
     the right computer package to meet their expressed preferences
     and requirements.
