eCash Technologies, Inc. 

    On February 8, 2002, we acquired substantially all of the technology and intellectual property of eCash 

Technologies, Inc., a developer of electronic debit and stored value technologies, for purchase consideration of $2.7 million and 1,064,815 

shares of our common stock.  

GiantBear, Inc. 

    On December 19, 2001, we acquired substantially all of the assets of GiantBear, Inc., a wireless technology and service 

provider that enables wireless carriers to offer their subscribers access to content, data and mobile commerce through wireless devices, delivery 

channels and applications, for purchase consideration of $6.0 million, which includes acquisition expenses of $21,000. We recorded $2.5 

million of goodwill, $1.9 million of core technology and $700,000 for customer lists as a result of this transaction. The core technology and 

customer lists will be amortized over a five year period. The goodwill will not be amortized, in accordance with SFAS 142, but instead will be 

reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill is 

more than its fair value.  

Excite.com . 

    On November 28, 2001, we acquired certain assets of the At Home Corporation. The acquired assets included certain 

domain names, trademarks and user data associated with the Excite.com Web site. Total net consideration for the acquired assets was $6.7 

million. Concurrently, we announced an Internet services agreement with iWon. Under the agreement, we agreed to power the search and 

directory components of the Excite Web site. As we did not acquire all of the assets of the Excite portal, which was a component of the At 

Home Corporation, and we have licensed certain of the acquired assets to iWon, this acquisition was not classified as a purchase of a business. 

We have determined that the acquired assets have a useful life of two years and will amortize them over this period.
