(1) Effective January 1, 2004, Avenue A began recording revenue
    exclusive of the costs paid to publishers for media as a result of
    contractual changes with advertisers and publishers. During the
    quarter ended September 30, 2003, net revenue was $15,513, which
    excludes media costs of $43,067 and during the nine months ended
    September 30, 2003, net revenue was $45,608, which excludes media
    costs of $112,467.

(2) Historically, aQuantive has recorded a full valuation allowance on
    its deferred tax assets, the majority of which are net operating
    loss tax carry-forwards generated before aQuantive achieved
    profitability. During the quarter ended September 30, 2004,
    aQuantive concluded it will likely be able to realize the benefit
    of these deferred tax assets in the future. Consequently, a credit
    to the provision for income taxes of $20.6 million has been
    recorded.

EBITDA

The term "EBITDA" refers to a financial measure that is defined as
earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA is commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of leverage
and liquidity.  However, EBITDA is not a measure determined under GAAP
in the United States of America and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other companies.  EBITDA should not be
construed as a subsitute for net income or as a better measure of
liquidity than cash flow from operating activities, which are
determined in accordance with GAAP.  We have presented EBITDA to
provide additional information on the company's operations and our
ability to meet future capital expenditures and working capital
requirements.  The following schedule reconciles EBITDA to net income
on the company's consolidated income statement, which the company
believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. (in thousands,

Supplemental Schedule of Segment Information

Beginning in 2004, the company has reclassified revenue and
expenses associated with an analytics and optimization product that
supports DRIVEpm and is marketed to certain publishers from the
Digital Marketing Services segment, where it was developed, to the
Digital Marketing Technologies segment, where it is now integrated
into the Atlas DMT business unit. Results shown reflect that change
for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.
Beginning in 2004, the Company is now showing all revenues derived
from selling proprietary ad serving technologies through its Digital
Marketing Services as part of the revenue of Atlas DMT. Results from
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 still include a
small portion of that technology revenue in the results of the Digital
Marketing Services segment.
